Chapter Thirty-Nine
"I saw my companions, who were struggling in pain in the jar, but they couldn't make a sound! I saw something in the black water, slowly gnawing at their bodies, but they ...... There is no escape! I saw ......" Imari said this, already trembling and crying.
"Renbai!?"
Imari's words caused turbulent waves in Chu Cheng's heart, and even more monstrous resentment and murderous intent in his heart! He wanted to appease the trembling girl in front of him, but in the end, he forcibly resisted the urge.
Chu Cheng knows very well that sympathy and pity cannot change this cannibalistic world, and what the girl in front of her really needs is not comfort and pity.
"What's next?" Thinking of this, Chu Cheng suppressed the desire for protection in his heart and continued to ask in a calmest tone as much as possible.
Seeing Chu Cheng's attitude so indifferent, Imari's eyes were even more helpless. She forced herself to hold back her tears and sobbed, "I went back to the tent and woke up the rest of the people one by one, and told them about it. Everyone was horrified after listening to it. We planned to run away before the guards returned, but we just happened to run into the patrol officers of the law enforcement team, who were hunting us like cattle, and everyone was captured, except for me, who escaped while the camp was attacked by monsters, until you, my lordship...... Found me. β
"So, this girl...... Didn't choose to run away alone, but wanted to flee with everyone? It's so kind, so kind...... Somewhat naΓ―ve! Chu Cheng sighed faintly in his heart, and his eyes looking at Imari softened a little, and in this softness, there was even a touch of pity. He really couldn't imagine how this kind-hearted girl in front of him, whose parents were dead and helpless, would face this malicious world in the future.
The pity in Chu Cheng's eyes was suddenly keenly captured by Imari. Any nervous woman is sensitive, even Imari, who is a young girl.
Tears welled up in Imari's eyes, and before Chu Cheng could stop her, she had already fallen to her knees with a thud, and begged with all her might, "My lord, I know you're not a bad person!" Please, keep me by your side. I can do a lot of things, as long as I don't give them to those people, I can do whatever I want! β
Looking at Imari's trembling body, the desire to protect in Chu Cheng's heart could no longer be suppressed. Ask yourself, it is impossible for Chu Cheng to leave Imari alone. But the question is, can he really protect the girl in front of him all the time?
Thinking of this, the tenderness accumulated in Chu Cheng's eyes receded like a tide in an instant. At this moment, he made a decision that surprised everyone......
Instead of sheltering the girl in front of you, it is better to teach her...... How powerful!
Just like ...... It's the same as when I was at the beginning.
"I don't need to be cumbersome by my side!" Thinking of this, Chu Cheng forced himself to be indifferent and said in a tone similar to Griffith.
"My lord, I'm not a burden, I can do a lot. Give me a chance and I'll prove it to you! Chu Cheng's words made Imari tremble, and he hurriedly begged.
"Okay, then I'll give you a chance." Chu Cheng's eyes swept over the girl's eyes with coldness, "Take me to the tent you said to prove that you ...... Didn't lie to me! β
When Imari heard this, his face, which was flushed from the hurry, suddenly turned pale. It was clear that the scene inside that tent was ...... It's been her eternal nightmare!
Imari's expression changed, and it suddenly fell into Chu Cheng's eyes without leaking. Who knows, just when Chu Cheng thought that Imari was going to refuse or even give up, the girl suddenly nodded vigorously, and the firm appearance of the silver teeth clenched made Chu Cheng a little shocked.
Chu Cheng suddenly felt that he was ...... It seems that I underestimated the girl in front of me.
It was at this moment that Chu Cheng suddenly thought of a question. According to Imari's previous description, the old black wizard obviously used some means, which caused all the boys and girls imprisoned in the tent to fall into a coma, so that even the guards at the door thought that there was no need to guard, which made Imari sneak out.
But the question is, why is Imari immune to the hypnotic methods of the old dark wizard?
"It seems that this girl also has some secrets." Chu Cheng said secretly in his heart. He didn't covet Imari's secret, so naturally he didn't ask too much.
At this moment, if you calculate the time on the ground, it is already ten o'clock in the middle of the night. There was a dead silence in the camp, and even the villagers in charge of patrolling became listless. Perhaps it was the continuous tension of the heartstrings that made these people feel deeply tired, and the state of the patrol team could be said to be a little presumptuous. Ling Chucheng and Imari easily sneaked into the center of the camp.
"This is it." Imari's body subconsciously clinged to Chu Cheng, pointing to a large tent with a diameter of ten meters in front of him.
When Chu Cheng heard this, his heart gradually rose. Although he is a master of his own arts, the methods of the dark wizard are really strange, and he cannot be careless.
Thinking of this, Chu Cheng immediately closed his eyes and sensed it, but he didn't feel the slightest malice and danger in the tent.
Could it be that Imari misidentified it, or that there was no one guarding this tent at all? Chu Cheng's mind was constantly turning, and finally he leaned over lightly, and slowly opened the curtain of the tent with his arm blade. Who knew that it was pitch black as far as the eye could see. It was more like something was slowly squirming in the darkness. Such an environment faintly made Chu Cheng feel a little familiar.
Chu Cheng remembered that before he broke into the forbidden space of Apophis, the dragon that sealed eternal sin, he had escaped in the darkness for a while, and the feeling that darkness gave Chu Cheng was somewhat similar to the darkness in front of him.
What's even more strange is that the night vision function of Chu Cheng's eyes can't completely see through this darkness. Obviously, the darkness in the tent is not just the absence of light.
"It doesn't matter if it's Longtan or Tiger's Den, I have to go in and explore. If Augustus really unites with the village chief to perform some evil sacrificial ritual in secret, I must inform Griffith as soon as possible! Chu Cheng thought so, he also thought about going directly to Griffith, but he was even more afraid that this would startle the snake.
Thinking of this, Chu Cheng didn't hesitate anymore, and dodged into the tent.
"Your Excellency!" Seeing Chu Cheng walk into the tent, Imari hesitated and followed. Perhaps because he was too nervous, Imari's bumpy body was always close to Chu Cheng's body, and his hands firmly grasped the corners of Chu Cheng's clothes and refused to let go. Through the thin clothes, Chu Cheng could even feel that the girl's body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Tear and pull, tear and pull......" At this moment, some kind of slimy and strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the tent.
"Who!?" Chu Cheng's body tensed straight in an instant, and a pair of eyes suddenly contracted, locked in the direction of the sound source......
