Chapter 39: The Skull
"Li Ling! Are you okay!? Qin Xiaoyu cared about Li Linglai first.
"I'm fine, my self-esteem has been damaged!" Li Ling smiled comfortingly at her while quickly taking a look at the surrounding environment.
Streams, jungles, and small clearings of rocks seem to be places where wild animals are good at running.
"Don't look around, young man. I've lived here for a long time, and you two can't escape! Naine laughed, looking sinister. From today onwards, the two of you will be my students, just like it. Nayin pointed to Staby.
"What?! Let me be at the disposal of a big rabbit?! What a shame! Li Ling shouted exaggeratedly as he tried to escape.
"If I want to be beautiful, I'd rather die!" Qin Xiaoyu unceremoniously threatened the other party.
Li Ling saw that Si Daobi was staring at them cautiously, as if its owner would never let his guard down if he didn't speak.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do for a while, Li Ling secretly thought to himself: "It doesn't matter if you suffer a little, you must not hurt Xiao Yu." Maybe while Naine is away, he can rebel against Stepby. The poor guy was apparently called like a servant by Nayin, but was shamelessly called a student by Nayintian. It seems that its previous inscrutable is all faked! Oh my God, how could you trust a brute so easily?! ”
Just when Li Ling was thinking wildly, Qin Xiaoyu sat on the ground unceremoniously: "I'm hungry, cook for me!" As he spoke, he picked up a piece of barbecue and ate it. If you don't let me go, I'll eat you poor.
Naine narrowed her eyes and giggled: "Little girl, as long as you don't cry or make trouble, I won't embarrass you." After all, we're going to be friends! ”
Then, Naine jumped nimbly a few times, stood on the top of a large tree and looked into the distance, and muttered in a low voice, "It's time to come, these two unpunctual guys." ”
Li Ling secretly complained in his heart, he felt that he was going to be escorted by a group of rabbits to a place similar to an underground cave, and even thought that he would only be able to eat some grass and rotten vegetable leaves in the future?
Even if he had to take a big risk, he had to try to escape once before Nain's accomplice arrived.
When Si Daobi, under Naiyin's instructions, went around to collect branches and boil water for Qin Xiaoyu to cook, Li Ling rushed over with an arrow step, slapped off the barbecue in Qin Xiaoyu's hand, and pulled her up and ran into the distance.
In a hurry, Li Ling glanced back, and Nai Yin seemed to know that he was not the opponent of the two of them, and did not catch up recklessly.
But Qin Xiaoyu stopped abruptly and dragged Li Ling's forward figure stiffly.
"What's going on? Run! Li Ling said.
"Wait, what's up ahead?!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted in despair.
Li Ling followed Qin Xiaoyu's finger and looked at it, hundreds of meters away in the low sky, a huge black shadow covered in sunlight was flying towards them rapidly in the air.
In just a few breaths, the batman who had harassed Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu all the way retracted his wings and landed not far in front of them.
The two froze in place for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"I have a lot of great friends, and this one is one of them!" Naine walked over and explained to them before continuing on.
In the flat clearing at the edge of the forest, two beasts from another world stood face to face. It seems that a serious and sincere exchange is about to take place.
Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu looked at the scene in front of them in amazement—under the dazzling sunlight, everything was like a dream, but it was real.
Immediately, there was a squeaky sound, interspersed with some screeching sounds, which seemed to be a little dispute.
Unfortunately, they didn't fight.
Li Ling thought in horror that their squeaky voices were probably discussing what to do with themselves and Qin Xiaoyu.
It's horrible!
Soon, Nai Yin and the batman known as the stump of the wings walked towards Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu who were in a daze.
"This is the great, former leader of the Batmen, Stump!" Naine solemnly introduced.
Li Ling seemed to guess why this large batman didn't like to fly, but instead trained a strong muscle. He looked behind the remnant.
The batman noticed Li Ling's eyes and took the initiative to spread his wide wings.
Only then did Li Ling see clearly that the wing membranes on the wings of the stump were not born, but sewn. It was as if its wing membrane had been torn off and some cortical substitute had been sewn on.
The stump hissed a few times.
"Remnant Wing tells me that you're already old friends." Nain became a translator for the time being.
The corners of Stump's mouth tugged upward, revealing sharp teeth and a fierce gaze. It should be the most cruel smile Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu have ever seen.
"Despicable and shameless! Complicity! Qin Xiaoyu's silver teeth clenched. But she knew that she was not the opponent of these two beasts, and she thought that even Li Ling had nothing to do.
Naiyin waited for Qin Xiaoyu to calm down before he spoke: "Very good, since we are old friends!" I don't need to introduce too much, we need to wait for the last respected Busen! Then have a simple meeting! It's coming soon! ”
"And an accomplice?! Or a respectable one!? Oh, my God! Qin Xiaoyu screamed in his heart.
"Adapt to the situation! At least they didn't put us in a cage. Li Ling whispered comforting, and glanced at Qin Xiaoyu.
Qin Xiaoyu calmed down a little and pretended to glance around casually.
When Nayin's eyelids gradually closed and seemed to be asleep, Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu ran towards the direction of the nearby jungle.
Stabyby jumped from a distance. There was no suspense in the result, and the two were once again easily subdued.
Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu gave up resisting, and began to wonder what kind of character the Busen people who had not yet appeared were, and whether they would be kind enough to persuade Naiyin to let them go.
It wasn't until it was getting late and the sun was like blood that a figure more slender than Nayin walked over from a distance.
The guy looked like a bruised spotted kangaroo with a dark blood-like coagulate on its fur. It carries a stick on its shoulder, on which hangs a bulging package.
"It's my people, the best of them - Keith!" Nai Yin proudly introduced a sentence to Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu. Then he purred and screamed at Keith as he approached.
The stump hissed and screamed, with a vicious appearance, as if he was extremely unhappy with the newcomer, perhaps because he was too late.
Keith was silent until he walked up to a few people and let out a low roar impatiently.
The remnants immediately stopped, looking a little scared of the newcomers.
Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu were also taken aback by this newcomer. If the chubby Naine looks like a docile herbivore, the tall, skinny Keith looks like a bloodthirsty beast. The difference between the two is unbelievable.
In particular, Keys's small and sharp eyes seemed to reveal a faint killing intent and arrogance that looked at everything.
What's even more terrifying is that when it came from a distance, its gaze didn't even linger on the body of Remnant Yi and Naiyin, but looked deeply at Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu.
It wasn't until Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu withdrew their gaze that it curled its beard as if victorious, and let out a "Wow!" in its throat. There was a soft thud on the ground.
"This is a strong and proud Busen!" Li Ling secretly speculated.
Compared with the treacherous and cunning Nayin, Li Ling prefers to deal with this kind of simple and rough guy. I thought that as long as it still had a little brain, it wouldn't hurt himself and Qin Xiaoyu for no reason.
But this was just his wishful thinking, and it was soon ruthlessly shattered by reality.
Naine and Keith first spoke to each other in their weird grunts. Immediately after, Keith unwrapped the package on his shoulder and raised it casually. A few fleshy things "Bang! Bang! "Fell to the ground.
Those things rolled in their bones, almost touching Qin Xiaoyu's legs and feet.
Qin Xiaoyu jumped away as if he had been electrocuted, glaring at Keith angrily, not paying attention to what the flesh and blood blurred thing was.
But it was only a moment's work, and Li Ling saw it clearly, it was three human heads.
Half-hidden in the grass, and one of them had blond hair that covered most of his face, the other two could see clearly, the heads of two young women.
Even in horror movies, Li Ling has never seen such a terrible tragic image - his face is pale and stiff as if it has been drained of blood, and his angry eyes are as dead and silent as if he has been deprived of his soul.
Li Ling's first reaction was not to let Qin Xiaoyu lower his head. It was hard for him to imagine how the kind and sensitive Qin Xiaoyu would react when he saw the terrifying scene under his feet, and how many nights he would wake up!
However, he didn't have time to make any movements, nor did he have time to say anything. Qin Xiaoyu read a trace of unusual meaning from the surprised or smiling eyes around him.
Just by turning his eyes slightly, Qin Xiaoyu was close to the miserable image in his eyes. Her heart tightened in an instant, and her whole body tingled like countless needles pricking, and she couldn't breathe.
Li ...... Li Ling ......" she groaned as she grabbed the hem of her clothes with one hand and stretched out her other hand.
Li Ling stepped up and supported her weak body.
"Cold ...... I ...... coldly" Qin Xiaoyu was extremely frightened, and his body began to tremble.
Li Ling took off his fur coat and draped it on Qin Xiaoyu's body.
He understood Qin Xiaoyu's feelings at this time, just as he had suddenly understood now: whether these strange-looking creatures around him were intelligent creatures or not, they were not human beings after all, and their thoughts and behaviors were difficult to judge by human thinking. Perhaps there is a despicable trick lurking beneath the peaceful exterior, or perhaps it is evil to the extreme......
Li Ling looked up at the sky, the slowly falling sunset had been blocked by the distant mountains, and the cold night was coming.
If it weren't for the anger in his heart gradually rising, Li Ling felt that even he would not be able to endure the surging chill.
