Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hidden Forest
After they and Jason's team converge, they finally set out on their way to the Hidden Forest.
"It's too late to regret now, we can turn around and go back." The monster suddenly said seriously.
"I still want to go and see, after all, I proposed to Jason to participate, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I ran away halfway?" Xian Yan said firmly.
"Is face important, or is life important?" The monster sighed.
Xianxian was stunned, in front of his life, face was worthless. However, her heart still longs for adventure. Now that she is determined to help humanity live a peaceful life, it is necessary to take a risk to understand the world.
"Monster, it's not just a matter of face." "I can't hide behind you all the time. ”
The monster fell silent and continued to drive.
"What do you know about that Captain Jason?" Detective asked.
"There are many humans and canines who have died at his hands, and he is quite strong in governing the army." "But he also has a lot of admirers. ”
"Although his gaze looks a little fierce, I feel that his character is still good." She spoke her mind.
"That's because he left the army." The monster said, "The martial arts district has a lot of respect for the strong in battle, especially the soldiers with positions. ”
"There are many soldiers who are not famous and choose to retire and find another way to make a living." The monster continued.
"Isn't Jason a famous general? Why did he retire suddenly? "Burnt was a little confused.
"It's his private business." "I'm curious about why. ”
However, there have been rumors that he and Ryan do not have a very good relationship and are occasionally mistreated when it comes to treatment. The monster said.
"I feel that everyone is not having a good time, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there is always some unsatisfactory bitterness behind it." Xianxian sighed.
"We're almost at our destination, and you'll have to follow me after a while." The monster admonished.
"Tie it with this rope so we don't get separated." She took out a lightweight roll of rope and tied one end to her wrist and the other end to the monster's hand.
"It's still Captain Jason who has been thoughtful and has prepared this for us." Xianxian said with a smile.
"Looks like they're really prepared." The monster muttered quietly.
"What did you just say?" After tying the rope, he looked up at the monster.
Facing the staring gaze of the monster, the monster's face actually showed a suspicious red.
"Are you alright?"
"Stay away from me." The monster suddenly said in a cold voice.
Xianxian looked confused, and didn't understand when he provoked him again.
"Jason: They're getting out of the car in front. Can't you drive a car in? Xian Yan asked.
"Yes, the hidden forest is full of trees and paths, and cars can't get into it at all." The monster answered.
When Jason saw Burn's car, he immediately walked towards them.
"We're going to get ready to go in." Jason said, "You've got all the ropes tied, right?" ”
Xian Xian nodded.
"Just in case, your rope is tied to mine." Jason suggested.
"Captain Jason, is it really dangerous inside?" Xianxian asked.
"Don't worry, we've got everything in place." Jason said confidently.
"What are you here for?" Xian Xian asked curiously.
"Legend has it that this is the former private vault of a large human family, and there are many treasures and gold hidden in it." Jason said.
"Humans?" Xian Xian frowned, but he didn't expect that the Hidden Forest and humans also had a connection.
The monster thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't heard of this rumor, when I first came here, I saw a word tablet that said, 'Hidden Forest Forbidden Land, non-clansmen should not enter!'" Those who transgress will be punished by heaven.'" ”
There are more doubts in Xianxian's heart, the private treasury, forbidden land, and clansmen of the big family, linking these words, she has a bold guess, will this be the territory of the Hu family? The only big family she knows about at the moment is the Hu family.
"Let's go." Jason turned and walked towards the entrance to the Hidden Forest, while Burnt and the monster followed quietly behind him.
"Little girl, if you're scared for a while, close your eyes." Jason's tone softened a lot.
"Don't worry, I'm very bold." "Ever since I was a child, my dad said I was a tomboy. ”
"Your dad?" Jason frowned, "King's father too?" ”
Xianxian was stunned, and suddenly realized that he had just leaked his mouth.
"I've never heard King talk about anything other than his master." Jason laughed.
"Haha, I don't remember much, my brother doesn't get along well with his parents, so I don't want to mention them." Xianxian hurriedly rounded up the lie. I just hope the topic doesn't go any further.
The monster on the side thought it was very funny when he saw the expression of Xian Xian as if he had done something wrong.
As they laughed, they had entered the Hidden Forest, when suddenly the team in front of them stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xian Yan asked suspiciously.
"There's a dead end ahead." Jason took two steps back, "Let's try the other way." ”
He reached his body, looked at the road ahead, pulled the monster's hand, and whispered, "There is obviously a road ahead." ”
The monster also glanced at the monster and looked at it strangely. "It's a dead end in front of you, don't you see the wall?"
Scared silly, what's going on? Why wasn't what she saw the same as what they saw? They all said it was a wall, but she could see the way. Could it be that she didn't get a good night's rest last night?
"Monster, shall we go over and take a look?" Xian Xian's heart was still a little uneasy, there was no reason why she would see it differently than them.
The monster untied Captain Jason's rope and tied it to a large tree. After dealing with it, he said to Xianxian, "Let's go." ”
Xianxian nodded, and immediately followed the monster in the direction just now.
"Are you sure you see the wall?" She asked again, reaching for a touch and not feeling any hindrance.
The monster frowned, reaching out and touching the stone wall. "It's a wall, indeed."
"So what's going on? Am I going to do it through walls? She stretched out her half-cut hand.
The monster was stunned when he saw the scene where half of his hand disappeared.
"There's weirdness here." The monster pulled her to his side, "You'd better keep up and don't stay more than half a meter away from me." ”
"Don't you want to know where this road leads?" She was curious about what was at the end of the road.
"Put away your curiosity." The monster warned sternly.
"If this is really the territory of a big human family, it should be something they have done." "It's unclear whether these traps are for humans or canines. ”
Xian Xian was suddenly afraid, if it was a trap set against humans, if she really walked over just now, she would have been tricked, right?
The monster seemed to sense the fear in his heart, so he didn't hesitate to take his hand and move on. The warmth transmitted by the monster's palm really brought her a sense of steadiness.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he looked down at his wide hand, and sure enough, the Labradoodle was gentle and kind in his heart.
She looked away at the tree not far away. "The rope was obviously tied to this tree just now, why is it missing?" Surprised, "Is Captain Jason coming back to untie it?" ”
The monster frowned deeply, observing its surroundings without saying a word.
"It's not the same place as it was just now." The monster finally came to a conclusion.
"How did you find out?" Burn Burn felt strange.
"I left a mark on that big tree, and there was no trace on this big tree." The monster continued.
"Monster, how did you get out before?" Detective asked.
"We didn't go too deep at the time, and there were companions blowing the whistle outside." The monster explained.
"Didn't you say that when you come in here, your hearing will fail?"
"The audio of that whistle blowing is inaudible to the human ear, only we canines." The monster explained.
"So powerful?" Xianxian was slightly surprised, "After I go back, will I be able to learn?" ”
"When you get back, ask King, I can't be the master." The monster said.
"So what should we do now? We couldn't find Captain Jason, and you have limited food in your backpack. She looked at her surroundings, and the forest was full of fog.
"Do you smell anything?" She frowned, as if she smelled blood.
The monster shook its head, "I can't smell anything. ”
"I seem to smell blood." Xianxian frowned, and pulled the monster in the direction of the thick smell of blood.
"Captain Jason!" Xianxian looked at Jason in surprise as he was fighting with the wolf.
The monster pulled his saber out of his pocket and severed the rope from the scarf's hand.
"You stay here and don't come closer!" The monster said solemnly.
With his saber in hand, he quickly scurried behind the wolf and slashed at the wolf's hind legs.
"Jason, are you alright?" The monster immediately asked.
"I went back to look for you, but I didn't expect to be attacked by wild wolves." Jason wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and picked up the saber that had just been left on the ground.
The two rushed towards the wolf together, and the monster stabbed the saber into the wolf's eye, and while the wolf was struggling in pain, Jason drew his long sword sharply and split the wolf in half.
Xian Xian on the side was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the two of them to be so powerful, and quickly killed the wild wolf that was several times bigger than them.
"How can there be wild wolves here?" There were more doubts in the monster's mind.
"I don't know, there's no mention of wolves in the intelligence." Jason said.
"It's more dangerous than you think. What about the others? The monster noticed that there was no one around.
"I told them to wait for us where they were." Jason said.
"Your ropes are still connected, aren't they?" The monster asked.
Jason shook his head, having been broken while fighting the wolf.
The monster frowned, his current situation was really troublesome, and he glanced up at the firecracker who was standing not far away. At this moment, he didn't have the confidence that he could take her out safely.
"Run!" Xian Xian suddenly shouted, but unfortunately the target was too far away, and his hearing would fail.
In the eyes of the monster, it seems that Xianxian has been dancing all the time, and he doesn't know what is saying in his mouth. When he turned to look at Jason, he had already been knocked to the ground by the swinging wolf claw. She stood there in horror as she watched the monster and Jason being abused by the wolf.
What should she do? What are wild wolves afraid of? Fire? Xianxian hurriedly took out a lighter and sunscreen spray from her backpack, she trembled and came to the wolf, she lit the lighter, pressed the spray button in the direction of the wolf, and the fire "rubbed" and became bigger. The wolf looked at her suspiciously, and spun around her twice. In the end, he left coldly.
The situation is critical, and Xian Liao quickly rummages through Jason's backpack for first-aid medicine. She took out her bandages and hemostatic powder, and bandaged the monster and Jason with her hands and feet.
In order to prevent the wolves from attacking again, she gathered some dry grass and stones, built them with stones, and then lit the firewood.
Immediately afterward, she moved the two of them to the fire with all her might, thinking about what to do next.
It was impossible for her to carry the two of them on her back, so it seemed that the three of them could only stay where they were and wait for rescue.
Currently, there are only three blood pears per person, which means they have three days to wait. However, Jason and the monster are both seriously injured, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to last for three days.
She took out a bloody pear, chiseled it with a dagger and a stone, and then cut off a small slender bamboo with a dagger. She inserted the bamboo into the blood pear, sucking out the liquid vigorously, maintaining some kind of force balance, delicately pulling out the bamboo and placing the other end into the monster's mouth, she blew on the bamboo, allowing the juice of the blood pear to flow into his esophagus.
Repeating the same action, she continued to feed the two of them the blood pear.
"Nancy......" the monster muttered.
"I'm here, monster, are you okay?" She held his bloodied hand.
"You...... Not...... Things, right? The monster struggled to spit out a few words.
"I'm fine, you and Jason are seriously injured, although I have given you simple treatment of the wounds, but you have lost too much blood, and you should be exhausted." Xian Yan said in a panic.
"We're fine, as long as the medication is timely, our resilience is very strong." The monster said, "Thank you. ”
Xianxian looked at him in surprise, it was the first time she had heard a monster thank you so kindly.
"It's good that you're smart and not scared silly like stupid humans." The monster smiled reluctantly.
"I was actually scared stupid, seeing the wolf pounce on you, but I couldn't do anything but watch in despair." She still feels terrified when she thinks of the scene just now.
"You've done a great job." The monster reached out and tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "You saved my lives and Jason's lives." ”
