Chapter 11 Swim the Stream
Three days have passed since then, and Draenor has still not found Viklico's whereabouts.
But after three days in the wilderness, he had plenty of time to think things through. Vikily is not an ordinary person, and she can never be just an innocent and intelligent girl.
And after Draenor himself was saved from life, something began to grow wildly inside him. His vision can be as sharp at night as it is during the day; Not only the amount of food, but also the physical strength and recovery speed have become several times that of before; His sense of smell and hearing is strong enough to track his prey from several kilometers away.
What's even more terrifying is that he knows that his emotions are getting more and more difficult to control, and if he feels the threat of death like he did in that horrible research institute a few days ago, he will completely lose his mind and become a beast. And that time, when he came back to his senses and woke up again, his previously broken arm had been completely restored, and the needle between his eyebrows was gone, leaving no scar.
Draenor panicked at what was growing inside him, knowing full well that he had become a half-human, half-beast monster. Fortunately, this was almost impossible during the day, and two days earlier at noon he had met a huge black bear while fishing in the river, and although he clearly felt the threat of death, he did not lose his mind and become a beast.
As an army man, he was trained countless times to survive in the wilderness, and the Black Forest of Doria was full of dangers, but no matter how many times he survived the wilderness. This time was no exception.
Draenor gradually distinguishes these mysterious plants from fruits, which, contrary to most fungi, are warmer and brighter in color, safer and tasty; On the contrary, the cold color and dark color of the fruit will be poisonous, and even cause nerve paralysis to death.
When you don't know what to eat to survive in the wilderness and jungle, it is good to follow the diet of most of the "natives" and observe their diet.
Draenor's body recovered a lot from the large amount of energy he consumed shortly after waking up, and at first he probably consumed most of his energy because he became a beast, causing the whole person to become skinny and bone-like, and even the beast was unwilling to waste time on him.
"I'll have to build up my strength a little bit, and then I'll head to the coast to the east." Draenor remembers that they had a clear view of the coastline from the wagon, suggesting that the last place where he and Viklico met was to the east of the land. Although the locals call themselves mainland, it is actually a larger island.
It should take no more than 24 hours from the time of being kidnapped to the time when you find yourself in the institute, and even the best carriage can only cover 200 kilometers in a day. Of course, even if you change horses at various stations without stopping, you can't run more than 500 kilometers in a day. The huge snow-capped mountain that I had seen to the northwest had not changed its position before.
After a simple calculation, Delaenor was convinced that his location should not span the entire island. The surrounding vegetation environment is also similar to the surrounding Hecheng in memory. Yes, he still had a good chance of getting out of here and finding Viklico.
Draenor followed the river, where he had caught some migratory fish, suggesting that the river would join the sea to the east.
Descending the river, it had been two days since Draenor had left the makeshift camp he had set up. That morning, just as he had caught a hare and was about to go down the mountain to cook, he noticed a few wisps of green smoke that had begun to rise at some unknown time, and the smoke was rising from the flat ground not far away.
"It didn't look like a fire, somebody had lit a bonfire. One, two, three, a total of four wisps of smoke, there must have been quite a few people lighting so many bonfires. Draenor said as he hid the rabbit in his arms and quickly descended the mountain. He pushed aside the bushes to observe the level of the ground, which was a convoy of eight wagons and four large tents, and it seemed that there were at least twenty or thirty people.
Suddenly there was movement from the tent, and Draenor immediately hid in the bushes. Out of the tent came four people, a richly dressed woman and three fierce horses. When Draenor fixed his eyes on the faces of the three people, his anger suddenly burned from the bottom of his heart, they were the traffickers who kidnapped him and Viklico!
I don't know if it was because of the excitement of discovering Viklico's clue or because of the anger of the enemy, Draenor felt his hands start to tremble. He picked up the kettle and took a few sips and gradually calmed down, it must be very bad for so many people to suddenly attract attention, and of course they are not the kind of people who can sit down and drink tea and discuss.
Just as Draenor was thinking about strategy, the familiar smell slowly resurfaced.
It's Vicky Ricco! She's here!
Draenor looked closely at the carriages, and on the two largest of them he clearly saw signs written in the Doric language, "Strange Truths Showed", and on the other carriage, a large cloth covered several square objects, from which the sounds of various animals came out.
"Strange... Truth show? What does the trafficker have to do with this thing? Delano savored the clue as he rounded the front of the camp to the end of the carriage. Draenor followed the scent to a halt between the two carriages, and the smell of Viklico vanished, or rather, was muffled by a foul smell of animals.
He hesitated whether he should venture to sneak up on one by one to determine the location of Viklico now, or wait until the evening to take advantage of the darkness before acting. But he thought of what had happened before and immediately rejected the second plan, although night is very suitable for sneaking, but if he encounters a mistake, he may become a terrifying beast without reason, and then maybe even Vicky will be harmed.
Draenor made up his mind to slowly approach the carriages, and when he was less than two meters away from one of them, he finally faintly discerned the scent of Vikilic. He lifted one end of the veil, and just as he had imagined, it covered a huge cage, and it was pitch black.
Vicky Ke ...... Are you in there? Draenor gritted his teeth and called in a low voice, and suddenly two blood-red dots of light flashed from a dark corner, and a black shadow suddenly approached Draenor. Just as Draenor decided he was in the wrong place, a voice came from the shadows.
Chadwick...... Draenor! The dark shadow stretched out a small delicate hand through the cage, and Draenor grasped it.
"Vicky Ricko, great! You're alive! Wait a minute, I'll open the cage right away. As soon as Draenor finished speaking, a man suddenly jumped out behind him and strangled him.
"There is a situation! There are invaders here! The man shouted as he pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed him in the shoulder, and Draenor grabbed the man's arm and threw him out of the way.
And when Draenor looked back, he realized that he was surrounded by countless thugs armed with guns and knives......
