Chapter 22: The Rift

We re-entered the familiar forest, the feeling of covering the sky and the sun came to our faces again, the feeling was so familiar, once again our hands could only reveal a dark shadow in the air, the canopy above our heads was still shaking, and the ground under our feet was not idle, and there was a faint feeling of tremors.

The white robe under me was obviously exhausted, and several times I was in danger of being planted in the water with me on my back, but I didn't care about all this now, I still stared at the vague figures in front of me who were scurrying in the shadows of the trees, I hoped to see the hook suddenly stand out from the pile of figures and grin at me with her big mouth, telling me that the scene just now was a lie;

But that didn't happen after all, the girl who used to laugh is still lying quietly more than 100 meters behind me, and within a few days will be decomposed into a pale rotting corpse by the microorganisms in the water, and in a few months... Maybe the bones will be broken by the current, and there will be no trace of it.

The farther we were thrown by the tiger's front team, even the bald stretcher had left us and disappeared into the confusion, the roar in my ears made my consciousness gradually depressed, and in the confusion it seemed that there was a pack ox under me, the ox was very tall and the back was very wide, I lay on him at a much faster speed than just now, and the treetops above my head hit my head several times, waking me up and stuning me, and my ears intermittently regained some hearing, and it seemed that I could not hear anything;

My awakening is very comedic, it can be said that the black bull plunged into the soil before waking up, the left side of the face was rubbed out of the dust, and the black bull was lying next to him breathlessly panting, the original dark face has faintly revealed a pale color.

Reaching out and patting the black bull on the shoulder, I thanked him, and now we were in the middle of a small hill, or not yet in the middle, but had just left the foot of the mountain, and I did not know how far they had run in a coma, but judging from the position of the sun, it was at least more than two hours;

The hills were bare, there was not even grass, the mountains were slightly white, and there were many cols of weathered stones like granite, and I frowned at the low mountain, and said to myself that if we could not reach the wolf's smoke in the evening, would we not die of thirst on this mountain.

But I can understand the path that the tiger girl leads, in that kind of life and death situation, escape is the first theme, as for the water source...... Water that can only be drunk alive!

I rubbed the big bag on my forehead and the bruises on my face, my two arms were already numb by this black man, and I seemed to have some strength in my legs, which at least allowed me to rub on the ground a few times and sit up, not far away, Huya and a group of white-robed people threw their weapons on the ground, lying on the dry and loose soil and panting, I can guarantee that even if a wild boar jumps out now, it is only a matter of snorting twice to kill us;

I tapped my head with my hand, the roar in my head was gone, but there was still some tinnitus, and I was glad that the loud "click" didn't pierce my eardrums, and of course, for now, I was glad that we had left the waterway or the damp swamp that would kill us at any moment;

There was a faint mournful cry from the direction where the white-robed people were lying, and I don't know whether they were rejoicing in their own survival or regretting the tragic death of the hook, and the cry also evoked a trace of nostalgia in my heart, and I looked at the dense forest covered by the thick fog at the foot of the mountain, which was the direction in which the hook was lying, and I couldn't even leave a strand of her hair;

The tiger girl shook her body and stood up from the crowd, sat down again, struggled a few times before standing up again, and walked to me with a slightly swaying body, her not wide body blocking the dazzling sun, and the glare for a moment made me unable to see her face;

"Are you okay?" , her tone was still cold and she lowered her head and asked, but I didn't know she was asking me... Still asking the black bull around me;

"No... It's okay, he... He's too heavy", and before I could speak, the black bull's voice answered before me;

Huya didn't mean to continue asking, slowly lowered her body, looked at me with both eyes, and said for a long time:

"Shanna, can you hear with your ears?";

Her tone was much softer than it had just been...

I nodded, and looked into her eyes, and the shadow of the hook suddenly flashed into my mind again, and sorrow shrouded my heart, and my eyes were slightly misty;

She looked at me and didn't speak, or her eyes weren't "looking" but "staring", and she stared at me for a long time, and suddenly squinted viciously at me;

After a few years, I have long been familiar with her as long as her eyes are narrowed, she is the precursor of baring her teeth, although I don't know where to provoke this aunt again, she seems to be trying to restrain herself, and she forcibly holds back her emotions, and then stands up suddenly:

"Shanna, the foot of the mountain you said is here, what are we going to do next?" , her tone reverted to coldness again;

I didn't answer, but sat on the floor and looked at her, and my compulsive tone had already annoyed me, and now I was tired of it;

"Get up! Get up! Walk! The wolf smoke is gone, and you must get there before dark! Seeing that I didn't answer, the tiger girl turned around and walked towards the white-robed people, and without encountering a white-robed one at a distance of more than a dozen paces, she would kick them in the back of the waist;

"Put away your feet, they're not slaves!" , I mustered up enough strength to shout at the tiger girl;

Xu was a little loud in my voice, and the tiger girl suddenly came back to her senses, put her hands on the ground and bared her teeth at me, and shouted: "Are you feeling sorry for them or are you feeling sorry for the people who just died in the water?" ”;

Her voice was hoarse, the veins and tendons in her neck were tensed, and her eyes were staring at me viciously;

"It's all distressing! They are all our companions! Whoever is so dead, Lao Tzu has a pain in his heart! ”;

I didn't avoid her eyes, the voice I roared made my throat and eyes hurt, and the anger that had been stored in my heart for a long time seemed to burst out at this moment, and it was out of control;

The black bull kicked me in the back, causing me to fall to the ground with a pop, and then the guy struggled to sit up, and pounced on me as if he was about to choke my neck, stammering and roaring: "You... Dare to yell at her? ”;

Before the black bull could speak, the tiger girl stood up straight, raised her right leg and kicked the black bull's head, and then he rolled and crawled on the ground as he had just done and roared at the black bull: "You dare to move him?" ”;

Gasping for anger, the three of them glared at each other and neither of them spoke, and the already quiet hill fell into a deathly silence again;

The atmosphere was shattered by a rain of arrows, and a white-robed man sitting on the ground shot an arrow into the dense forest below the hill with a bow;

"Enemy attack?" , The nerves that had just been eased immediately tensed up again, and hurriedly asked the white robe, and at the same time, the tiger girl rolled over and rolled to the ground, looking calmly at the bottom of the mountain;

"No... There was no enemy attack ... That white smoke... I'm just shooting an arrow," the white robe stammered as he noticed that his actions made the whole team nervous at once;

"There's no enemy attacking your fart arrow!" , I scolded viciously, and turned my head to look at the foot of the mountain;

Suddenly, whether it was due to fatigue or the sudden rise in temperature in the sun, a restless palpitation wound around my chest like an evil spirit;

As far as the eye can see, the dense fog that was originally shrouded in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain has swept the entire foot of the mountain at some point, and is hitting the side of the hill where we are at a speed visible to the naked eye, the gray fog is boundless, the forest in the distance has been completely covered, and several strange trees on the edge of the forest at the foot of the mountain have been swallowed by the thick fog, forming a strange figure, I smelled a cold breath in this thick fog.
