Volume 2 The Rising Storm Chapter 43 Snooker
Butler walked over.
His face was serious.
"Let's talk about something later, the monster army may attack at some point, and the top priority is to prepare for the battle first.
And I've just inspected the arsenal and found that there aren't enough materials to make bows and arrows, and even less if they need to be used to make traps! β
Petuar smiled.
"Good materials are everywhere outside, just waiting for us to collect, how can we not say enough!"
"Then I'm sorry for you!" Butler had a sense that he had succeeded in his scheme.
Ye Ziyu walked over: "Let's go together, there may be monsters outside, it's safer if there are more people." β
"I'll go too! I'm the number one hunter in Kaftape! β
Several KaftapΓ© hunters also took the initiative to say: "Let's go too, we always need a few people who look out for the wind." βγ
Gunnard hid behind and muttered.
"Isn't it, going to the forest again? I don't want to go. β
Tolson tugged at his clothes: "Uncle! Defend your home once! Gunnard couldn't pull him, so he had to step forward.
Butler was more satisfied,
"I still have urgent matters to deal with here, you guys go early and come back early!"
Werner smiled, "I'll ask someone to show you the way." β
Led by the native of Scuas, Ye Ziyu and the others came to the forest.
The wind and snow seemed to be getting heavier, and the khan began to chop wood with his men.
Alsi came to Ye Ziyu's side, and asked while cutting down trees: "Warrior, hiccup~ Do you believe that I am not drunk now?" β
Despite the hiccup, it was heard by Petur, who cut down the tree a few times,
"Of course I believe it! I haven't seen you so awake since that day! You took the initiative to cut down the trees, which is the best proof of this! β
"Me too!" Ye Ziyu responded to Alcy with a smile.
Alsi groaned, "That day was on my way back from selling meat and skins from the Skuas market. β
Seeing that he had started again, the Khan spoke fiercely: "Arsi! You.. β
Alsi pleaded: "Khan village chief! Please, let me finish. β
Petul also interceded on his behalf: "Khan. β
Ye Ziyu also made a round: "Go on!" Alsi, I'm listening. β
Alsi recalled,
"When I came back from Skurias, I found that the village had changed beyond recognition, and there were many footprints on the ground, and at the end of those footprints. I saw the monster that grabbed my family... I can see it with my eyes! It was a demon in snow-white steel armor and steel helmet!
I admit that I was cowardly, I didn't do anything but hide and watch it all. But I'm not lying! Since that day until now, I haven't said half a lie! Can't you trust me once?! "He was a little hysterical.
Khan sighed,
"There weren't any witnesses, you were the only one in the whole village who saw it, how could you tell me to believe you."
Ye Ziyu nodded.
"I see. I'll ask people from other villages, and maybe someone will see it. β
Seeing that Ye Ziyu believed him, Alsi said gratefully: "Thank you!" Warrior. β
Half an hour later, the wood had been collected, and Ye Ziyu and the others were ready to go back to Skuas.
"Wait a minute!" Ye Ziyu vaguely heard the screams of monsters coming from the depths of the forest, is the monster army coming so soon? Ye Ziyu said. Because of Ye Ziyu's voice, the whole team stopped.
"Help!" There was a cry for help from the direction before, and the sound was still a little familiar.
Thinking that it might be someone you know,
"Wait here, I'll check on the situation."
Optimism followed: "I'll go too, your injuries aren't healed yet." Ye Ziyu nodded in agreement.
Soon, Ye Ziyu and the two went deep into the forest.
Dozens of monsters are running after a person, with a sharp-beaked monkey gills, isn't it the snooker that escaped.
Snooker was overjoyed when he saw someone in front of him.
"Help me!"
Although he didn't like him anymore, Ye Ziyu also shot out, triple shooting! Knock down a few monsters that are about to catch up on snooker.
Optimism has long been rushed, "Tiger roars!" "It's like a tiger entering a forest. Optimistic carried the two-handed sword and danced a few times quickly, and his body was wrapped in a ring, 'Dou Qi is concentrated!' β
With the superposition of vindictive energy, Optimism slashed harder, and Ye Ziyu did not fight cautiously because of the impact of his injuries, and provided ammunition support at a distance. Soon, the monsters were destroyed. Ye Ziyu walked in front of snooker.
Snooker glanced at him weakly, and Ye Ziyu snorted coldly,
"Come with me!"
Ye Ziyu took him to the place where he had cut wood before.
"Snooker! You coward! Deserter! You still have the face to come back! They also saw it and scolded him angrily.
Snooker was originally very happy, but when he saw them scolding him, he said angrily: "Hmph! Do you think I'm coming back to be angry?! Do you know, I was already at the top of the frozen snowy mountain, and I was afraid that you would die halfway, so I ran down from there again! β
Ye Ziyu also looked at him unaccustomedly,
"That can't lead people to steal our food."
Snooker became more and more angry,
"If you continue like this, I won't tell you what I see! I came back because I was worried about you! β
Patul looked at him suspiciously,
"Looking at your usual virtues, it's hard to believe, and the way you look now, whoever looks like you've been wandering in the forest for days...
"Of course! I crossed that dangerous mountain! You can see the whole Aberra from the mountain! Speaking of this, he paused and continued with some fear: "I am on the mountain, and I have seen a very huge figure! It's surrounded by a red blizzard! Whenever a blizzard rages, hundreds of monsters will appear around! When that group of monsters moves, it creates a larger blizzard!! The blizzard is moving in your direction! "It's a shadow in the fog! Ye Ziyu was shocked.
"It's exactly the same as when the monsters of Kaftappe attacked! I was going to go down the mountain with the others to the frozen snow, but I think I'm a soft-hearted person, and I feel compelled to come to you to tell you! β
How much weight does this 'soft heart' have, although Ye Ziyu and they are very skeptical, but since the monster is about to come, it is better to go back to Skuas first. Gotta speed up!
Back in Skuas, Ye Ziyu told Werner the news, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
Patul pulled the snooker who was about to go to rest,
"Come here! Go and make the barrel! You've done it before! β
Snooker has a bitter face,
"I'm the hero who brought the news!"
"You're still a thief who stole rations!" One sentence blocked the snooker, and he had to follow Patuer to make the barrel.
There is nothing to do for the time being, Ye Ziyu is going to go and rest for a while, and he will be injured.
When he was about to get to rest, he saw Yu Lan crouching in the corner, she had been so listless since she heard that Blancie had been caught. Ye Ziyu took out two chocolates from the space backpack and walked towards Yulan.
"Yulan?" Ye Ziyu handed her the chocolate.
Yu Lan looked up and saw Ye Ziyu, took his chocolate and sobbed.
"Brother Ye Ziyu, woo woo~"
Ye Ziyu touched her little head and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" β
"Woo woo. It's all my fault that I'm ignorant! That was when I was very young. Yu Lan cried.
Ye Ziyu touched her head again,
"Well, if you have anything, you can tell my brother."
"Sister Blancy's disappearance is all my fault. Whining.. β
Ye Ziyu was a little surprised,
βοΌοΌοΌ What do you mean? β
Yu Lan cried louder,
"Woo, when I was a child, I lived in a village with Sister Blancy and Granny Shanaan, and I remember playing in the forest with Sister Blancy and other friends, and then... Woo, Sister Blancie is different from us, and she has a lot of strength. I don't know when we started to be afraid of such a sister. We also made fun of her for being a monster! Whining... β
It turned out that this was the case, Ye Ziyu thought it was something. He touched Yu Lan's head and comforted her: "Yu Lan is not to blame for this, don't blame yourself like this." β
"Woo... Woo. Later, Granny Shanaan and Sister Brancie left the village, and I forgot all about it, and I don't know if it was because of us that my sister and mother-in-law left the village.
Woo, how scared would my mother-in-law and sister be in the forest? If they weren't in the forest, but in the village, my sister wouldn't have disappeared! Woooooooooo I hate it even more that he let his mother-in-law leave the village! Yu Lan's eyes were red, and it was distressing to look at.
Ye Ziyu patted Yu Lan's shoulder,
"I'm not to blame Yulan for this! Moreover, if you apologize to Granny Shana, she will definitely forgive you, so that you will not be so guilty. β
Yu Lan rubbed her red eyes,
"Really?"
Ye Ziyu nodded vigorously,
"Of course it's true!"
"But I'm afraid! I didn't dare to face Granny Shanaan. Yu Lan cried.
"I'll go with you!" Ye Ziyu said with a smile. Just go to Shanaan and ask Alsi what he said.
Yu Lan plucked up her courage: "Good! β
Ye Ziyu took Yu Lan to the grocery store, and after the grocery store proprietress Elba saved Shanaan, Shanaan has been living here.
Arrived at the grocery store.
Shanaan was talking angrily.
"This guy is in trouble again! It didn't open for days. What a troublesome guy! β
"Mother-in-law, I'll hear you when you talk like that!" A female voice rang out.
Shana An deliberately amplified her voice with some hatred that iron does not become steel,
"What if you hear it, I just want him to hear it!"
"Granny Shanaan!" Ye Ziyu told Sha Na An what Yu Lan was going to apologize to, and Sha Na An forgave Yu Lan with a smile. Yu Lan, who was forgiven, also left happily.
"That's right, Granny Shanaan! I have something to ask you. Ye Ziyu stopped Shana'an, who was about to curse again.
"What's the matter?"
"Have you ever seen outsiders when you lived in the forest? Or someone with a suspicious appearance, wearing snow-white armor and helmets or something."
"How many outsiders have met, when will they be?" Shana Ann thought about it.
"Yes... About 6 months ago."
"It's a pity. At that time, there was no "As if thinking of something sad, Shaanna's expression darkened. Six months ago was the time of her granddaughter's disappearance.
"I'm sorry for making you think of something sad," Ye Ziyu guessed what she was thinking and said apologetically.
"It's nothing, it's just the past, if you can get Blancy back, you can come to me at any time."
Since there was no useful information, Ye Ziyu was ready to leave.
"Warriors! Wait a minute! Shaanna stopped Ye Ziyu, who was about to leave.
Ye Ziyu turned his head and looked at her suspiciously: "Is there anything else?" β
Shanaan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if you saw those pink tentacles when you went to the hut. Ye Ziyu nodded, there were indeed a lot of that kind of tentacles around the hut.
Shanaan continued, "They can control other monsters with their tentacles!" This is exactly the same as Ye Ziyu and Erica's previous guesses.
"Every time it snows, that 'black shadow in the fog' can control the monster by being afraid of erupting those tentacles fused with snow, just like red snow, I hid in the hut at the time, and then that 'black shadow in the fog'", I can see clearly, it seems to have cut off a part of its body to spray those tentacles!
I don't know if it's because of this, but there is a limit to the number of things it can make at a time. I think if it could, when the tentacles were destroyed faster than it spawned, those monsters wouldn't be under its control. β
If it's true, it's a solution! Thank you very much! Ye Ziyu hugged his fists and thanked him.
"That's the only thing I'm an old man can do to help you."
"Wait a minute! I think I've probably seen the suspicious people you said! The woman standing next to Shanaan spoke.
Shana Ann introduced,
"This is Elba, my benefactor! Also the owner of this grocery store! She has a good memory, I used to come to her grocery store to buy things, and then because I hadn't been here for a few months, she personally ran to my cabin and rescued me, and she said that if she had seen it, it must be true!"
Ye Ziyu was in awe and gave her a thumbs up,
"It's amazing!"
If Ye Ziyu opened a grocery store, then he would definitely become an otaku, not to mention finding a guest who hadn't come for a few months, if the guest hadn't come for a few months, he would probably forget about this person.
Elba smiled,
"As the owner of the store, it is a matter of course to remember the face of every customer. There are a lot of people who come to my store, and it's like a hub for all kinds of news. Not what I saw with my own eyes, though.
Six months ago, there was a man who went to the forest to collect medicine, and said that he had found a suspicious person, and this matter was so far away that I almost forgot about it, and I heard it as a story at that time. I just remembered when I heard your question. β
"Can you tell me more about it?"
"Well, I heard that they were wearing a set of white armor, without leaking a trace of skin, and the people who saw it said enviously that they seemed to be able to penetrate the blizzard, but they were not alone, the villagers originally thought they were magicians and would flicker in an instant, but in fact there were several people wearing the same armor."
"Well, I want to ask, do you remember what that villager looked like?" Ye Ziyu asked.
"Ah, I don't remember much, but it seems to be Kaftape's, who went to the forest to look for his missing wife." Elba thought for a moment and replied to him uncertainly.
Ye Ziyu: "......" If nothing else, this person is Alxi. Although the second person who saw it was not found, it proved that Alsi was not lying.
Ye Ziyu scratched his head,
"Anyway, thank you very much, if you need any help, feel free to ask me!"
Elba listened, a little embarrassed.
"Well, I wonder if you can do me a favor? Although it may sound like something is being demanded from you in return. β
Ye Ziyu waved his hand,
"It's serious! If there is anything you need help with, just say. β
Elba pulled out a notebook.
"I'm just a businessman, but as a businessman I also have my mission, which is to prepare all the things that people need, including medicines and everything. People might laugh at me, what kind of mission is that. β
Ye Ziyu interrupted her with righteous words.
"No, no one thinks that, everyone I hear is saying you're good! Providing daily necessities and medicines for free is not a mission, so what is it? β
Elba handed him the notebook, smiling.
"That's great! Due to the recent loss of contact between the village and the frozen snowy region, many items need to be supplied, and the others don't matter, the most important medicine is about to run out, and now that the war is about to break out, without medicine, it will be fatal!
It's brazen, but I'm going to ask you. Although I am not very strong, I can concoct several medicines, and there are still some materials missing, the materials are on page 10 of this notebook, and I don't worry about other villagers, please, warrior! β
"This kind of thing is my obligation in itself, and I want to thank you!" Ye Ziyu nodded.
"In that case, I'll go first, and this kind of thing is better as soon as possible."
"Warriors, be sure to stay safe!"
