Chapter 44: The Choice

Retracting their gaze, everyone glanced at each other, and they were inevitably a little uneasy in their hearts, and Sivaron also glanced at Tokara, and said with obvious concern.

"So what do we do now?"

Well!

Tuokara only thought for a moment, and then said, "Go back directly." ”

"That's good." The others looked at each other again, and they all nodded in agreement.

Keeping their formation, they slowly walked back, but Tokara had carved an arrow into a tree as a marker, and he would re-engrave one every other distance.

This was naturally ordered by Amanda as a sign of hunting, although the years of experience kept them from getting lost in the forest, but the necessary measures were still necessary.

They were making a mark and returning, and their speed was obviously much faster than when they came, and time continued to move forward, and the direction was also subjectively deviated from the direction in which Akuma flew away.

Perhaps because of the official encounter with Akuma, everyone behaved very heavily, and the atmosphere of the whole team became extremely depressing.

They walk very carefully, and even when they encounter some wild beasts on the way, they will consciously avoid them and make a detour. Of course, there will be some wild beasts on the way, even if they actively avoid it, they will come to provoke them.

For this kind of animal that does not have long eyes, they naturally have to stop and deal with it.

In such a tense and depressing atmosphere, three hours later...

"Let's hope we don't run into that big guy!" Everyone could only pray like this, and Chloe subconsciously tightened the grenade in his hand.

Whoa!

However, as soon as he finished thinking about it, a shrill voice came from ahead.

"It won't be so unlucky, will it?" Chloe's face was covered in black lines.

Next to him, Tokara also followed the sound and looked ahead, now it seemed that the bird was still a little far away from them, and the giant bird was also flapping its wings, but it was only suspended in the air, obviously having a target.

"We...."Tokara was about to say "Let's bypass it", but swallowed in the middle of the sentence as he suddenly realized that the giant bird's target seemed to be a strange tribe.

Although it is still far away, his eyesight that has been cultivated by hunting for many years is very good, so he can see clearly even from a long distance.

Then after taking out the binoculars, after some observation, he was more sure.

"We... What to do? Next to him, Chloe saw that Tukara hadn't spit out the last half of the sentence, and he was a little anxious.

He had even made up his mind to decide for Tokara, but before he could say the same thing, he realized why Tokara had hesitated just now.

"Hell." A complaint for no reason.

"Prepare the grenade and go over and see it first, don't get too close."

Tokara quickly made up their minds, and now the only thing they could rely on was the artifact called the "grenade" that Amanda had given them.

At this time, they were about three hundred paces away from that side, and they could approach without being discovered by Akuma, looking for an opportunity to save the people of that tribe.

Of course, if he really didn't have a chance, he would never take this risk.

Behind him, several other people also gritted their teeth when they saw this, but in the end they did not object, and then in their cautious steps, they slowly approached a position of less than fifty paces before they stopped.

At this time, the giant bird was already clearly visible, and the huge feathers were like blades, neatly arranged on the giant bird's body.

Whoa!

With a piercing chirp, Akuma continued to attack the man in front of him who was cowering in the cave.

Although these people are also hiding in caves, they are obviously much more dangerous than caves in the mountains.

The caves were no deeper, more winding than the ones over there, and Tokara didn't even think they were as good as the dwellings they had lived in before.

"Perhaps... They didn't find a useful place to go in the first place. ”

Hiss!

Seeing another man being grabbed by Akuma's huge claws, the man struggled in pain, and kept screaming to break free from the huge claws, but it was useless.

The huge force is like steel bar, and it cannot be moved.

"Help, help, help..."

At the man's last shout, the trembling body was thrown directly into Akuma's mouth, and the terrifying atmosphere made Tokara's heart chill.

He glanced at Chloe next to him: "Give me the grenade, I'll go there alone to look for an opportunity, if I can't come back, you will go back immediately." ”

At this time, there was a resoluteness in Tokara's eyes, and he finally made up his mind.

"You..."This decision of Tukara obviously made Chloe stunned: "Do you really want to do this?" ”

If Chloe were to do this, he wouldn't necessarily be able to do it.

Their mission was only to find the Akuma Lair, and now that the mission was complete, all they had to do was bring the news back.

"Hmm." Tokara still nodded very solemnly: "As Amanda said, we can't see death from other tribes, and God Roy won't want to see us die without saving us." ”

“……”

The simple words made everyone silent, and they understood the truth, but when life really faced this problem, the mind was not something that could be controlled by understanding or not.

No one is not afraid of death!

Even a tribesman who has struggled in the face of death all his life!

Even Tuoka doesn't mean that he is really righteous and awe-inspiring, and he can give up his life without regard for it!

The moonlight was crimson, making the whole world seem to be soaked in blood, and a slight breeze was gently blowing, even a little biting. No one spoke, leaving the silence all around, so quiet that they could even hear their own heartbeat and the sound of breathing around them.

Chloe gritted his teeth, and at this juncture, he finally took the grenade out of his pocket, but he didn't give it immediately.

"Will you make it back alive?" He asked.

"Of course...", Tokara looked extremely calm.

"That's good...."

In this regard, Chloe is not good to say anything, although the "of course" does not mean anything, but looking at the appearance of Tuokala, it is obvious that he has made up his mind, and he will definitely not be persuaded to come back.

At this time, Chloe inevitably felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

However, just as he was about to hand the grenade to Tokala, one of the hands next to him took the lead in snatching it, and it was Croton, who had been following him.

"I think I'd better go, I'm thirty years old, it's more cost-effective for me to go."

Croton said it casually, as if it was just a trivial matter, but the simple words made Chloe feel bitter: "Why do you want to do this?"
