Chapter 47: The Cemetery

"That unpleasant squeak? Only a witch would talk like that! Qin Xiaoyu's face was strange and authentic.

"No, it's a wonderful treat to learn the languages of other races, and you'll love that feeling in no time!" Naine stroked his beard and said confidently, "It's going to be difficult at first, but don't forget that the Busen people are good teachers of languages!" ”

For the umpteenth time, Qin Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and threatened: "Don't engage in conspiracy, dead rabbit!" When Li Ling comes back, we will ...... you."

"Come on! Come with me to a place and you'll understand. Naiyin's ears drooped down, covering the ear holes perfectly, blocking out the vulgar words such as braised ah, stir-fried ah, and stewed in Qin Xiaoyu's mouth.

The place where Nayin took Qin Xiaoyu was not far away, it was the small hillside where Qin Xiaoyu first saw it.

In a short time, a man and a beast were standing under the crooked-necked tree at the top of the slope.

The slope is steep underfoot, and from the top of the slope you can see the tall and lush trees, swaying gently in the breeze. You can also see the stream not far away, like a silver long practice paved into the distance.

Everything was beautiful, just like the name given by Qin Xiaoyu when he looked up at the starry night sky in the entire Falling Star Forest, and it also meant that the supporter's spaceship crashed to the bottom of the lake somewhere in the forest.

Only there is a large clearing underfoot, only some low grass and scattered shrubs, and even some renovated soil can be seen! What's even stranger is that in the middle of every renovated soil is a low, unknown sapling! Due to the distance, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't see it clearly. I only felt that the branches were crooked and twisted, and they had white flower bones.

"It's a pity that none of those flowers are in full bloom. Otherwise, it's a great place to see the scenery! Qin Xiaoyu thought.

"See the new little tree in that clearing?!" Nai Yin suddenly stretched out her finger and pointed in the direction of Qin Xiaoyu's gaze. "We call this clearing the Graveyard of the Fallen, and under every tree, there is a head buried!"

Qin Xiaoyu was taken aback, and when he looked at those crooked saplings again, he only felt a chill down his spine.

"Come on, take a closer look!" Naiyin found a path and slipped down, followed by Qin Xiaoyu.

When he arrived, Qin Xiaoyu saw clearly that those white things were not flowers and bones from time to time, but the oval leaves of the small treeβ€”the white leaves, shining with crystal white light in the sunlight, like skeletons.

"What's their name?"

"The Immortal Tree can absorb the breath of the unjust souls and liberate the undead as soon as possible and reincarnate, so it got the name of eternal life! See, there's just a small number of sinister and prudent people buried here, most of whom have been disposed of by the warriors of the Resistance. ”

"Butcher!" Looking at the small crystal tree next to each other in front of him, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes, every warrior's hands will be stained with blood! But we don't have a choice. If we want to save this world, we can only be more cruel than our enemies. Naine leaned down and said slowly.

Qin Xiaoyu lowered his head and was silent, his heart was in turmoil. For a moment, I thought that the soul could it be this crystalline substance? After a while, it occurred to me whether the so-called rebels were warriors or butchers?

More than ever, she wanted to see Li Ling and travel and explore this world with him. She believed that Li Ling, the man who always made up his mind in silence and then moved forward bravely, would make the most correct judgment,

"It's coming!" Naine shouted for no reason.

Qin Xiaoyu raised his head and saw the remnant wings flying from a distance, and when the wings flapped, they landed in the open space in the distance. It was followed by another batman who was smaller and had a wider wingspan.

Remnant Yi also noticed Qin Xiaoyu and Naiyin who were standing on the periphery, and squeaked at them a few times. Its fellow batman removed the package from its back.

Several things half the size of a human head, with long ears and pointed beaks, black, white, and red, poured out of its wrapper!

"That's ......" Qin Xiaoyu only said two words, and then covered his mouth with his palm.

"It's my people!" Naine said in a deep voice. "Now, you should take my word for it, right?!"

Different from the fear of seeing the head of the forerunner, Qin Xiaoyu felt that the atmosphere around him was absurd and demonic. But she couldn't think of any words to refute it, just nodded blankly.

"Good start!" Naine scratched at her beard in satisfaction. "Before you officially join the Resistance, let's get to the next training session. Before Li Ling returns, you must speak the language of the Batman as fluently as Mandarin! ”

……

When twilight comes, the atmosphere of the Falling Star Forest is more active than when the sun is blazing, and animals of all sizes take advantage of this cool time to go out to forage and move.

A flat, wide-mouthed cloven-hoofed animal is followed by two toddler cubs, greedily munching on grass and ears on the ground to feast on the cold night, and then head to the nearby crescent lake to fill their stomachs.

They are oblivious to the dangers that lie beneath the peace. In the canopy above its head, a pitch-black arrow feather slowly moved with its footsteps until it reached its optimal position.

There was a soft "whoosh", and the black arrow feathers cut through the air current, piercing the heart of the largest animal after a dull "poof" sound.

The two cubs who followed their mother screamed twice and quickly left the place, unwilling to return to this place with abundant water and grass for a long time.

An ape-like figure slipped down the tree next to it, leaped lightly, and jumped beside the dead animal.

After inspecting it, he dragged the heavy carcass of the animal towards a nearby clearing.

It was a man, dressed in full leather armor and leather boots, carrying a quiver and a longbow on his back, and his forehead smeared with brown mud, looking like a hunter who had been wandering the forest for many years.

In a certain direction, the man gave a long whistle. He didn't have to worry about attracting any wolves, tigers and leopards, because these days, he had found that the animals here were more docile than he could have imagined, and even those fierce-looking beasts would not rashly attack a target that would fiercely resist.

An equally agile but more slender figure swept over from a distance. She had a spear in her hand, her body wrapped perfectly in leather armor, her hair tucked back simply, and her fair face was not smeared with any of the dirt used for camouflage like a man's.

"Haruko, look what I've gained?!" The man triumphantly lifted up the corpse with the arrow feathers in it. "This guy is as fat as a wild boar, how about we have a cozy barbecue tonight?!"

The man's gaze was full of admiration and admiration in Haruko's eyes, and he waited expectantly for her answer.

For more than three months, Haruko seems to have forgotten her identity as a physician and devoted herself to the hunting and fighting training of the supporters in Kurban with great enthusiasm and perseverance. Although most people were dissatisfied with Haruko's lack of professionalism and lack of doctors, she ignored them and fought back against everyone's doubts with her increasingly bold style and sharp skills.

Some people even suspect that Haruko is obsessed, saying that she is no longer the little girl who is shy to answer and dare not look up at people.

But no matter how her personality changes, her beauty remains the same, which is why she is always favored and cared for by men. Especially a young man like Ma Xiyu, he feels that the current Qingzi is even more fascinating!

"Ma Xiyu!" Haruko stomped the spear in her hand and plunged it into the dirt steadily. "As a Guardian, shouldn't you be ashamed to say the word cozy?!"

Ma Xiyu's smiling face stiffened, but he still argued: "I know it's not the time, but the two of us have been sleeping in the open for so many days, so it's always time to treat yourself, right!?" ”

"Think of your companions! What kind of pain and suffering are they suffering?! Haruko's tone became more and more aggressive, and there was no trace of compromise on her fair face.

"Alright, Haruko-sama!" Ma Xiyu hung her shoulders in frustration.

Because his father gave him this far-reaching name, he couldn't raise his temper in the face of beautiful women no matter what. I always felt that it was a great disrespect to my father.

But Ma Xiyu rolled her eyes, leaned over and dragged the corpse under her feet to a hidden place, thinking that when Haruko fell asleep, she would come out and enjoy the food alone! But he had to say solemnly: "Do you have any major discoveries?" Around here! ”

"Yes!" Unexpectedly, Haruko nodded earnestly and picked up her spear again. "On the other side of that little lake, I've made some discoveries that will make you forget your appetite for a while!"

Ma Xiyu stopped covering the dirt on the corpse, raised her head in surprise, and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Lead the way! ”

Soon, Ma Xiyu followed Haruko to a small uplifted slope near the lake, and near a large rock, a simple hut made of tree branches came into view.

Although the hut is crumbling to the point of tipping over at the slightest touch, it still retains its general shape.

Ma Xiyu leaned down to inspect it, and some messy ashes and petals that had not yet rotted were crowded into the cracks in the stones. Shows that someone has lived here, maybe more than a day or two.

"Looks like someone has lived here! Could it be Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu? ”

"Have you seen a similar hut on Sirte?" Haruko asked rhetorically.

"Yes, it must be them!" Ma Xiyu immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the lower reaches of the river. "It seems that we are not wrong in the direction, just speed up the pace and follow it all the way!"

"Rest early, we'll leave before dawn!" After Haruko finished speaking, she took out her sleeping bag from her bag placed nearby and lay down next to the hut on the spot.
