Chapter 11: Confusion
Unexpectedly, he survived like this, Mu Yan touched his abdomen, and the wound on his abdomen had been wrapped with thick gauze.
Before this incident, he was full of excitement and a strong desire to explore the unknown, eager to find all the unknown and study. But after what happened that night, he began to feel a little lost and less confident.
Exploring the unknown will indeed make him feel extremely exciting, enjoyable, and even satisfied. But it was all based on the fact that he was still alive, and aside from the strong desire to learn, he was also a normal person, and he was destroyed by such a powerful force that night, he struggled with all his might, but to no avail, and the despair in his heart was felt only by himself.
It was different from the despair in the dark space, in the dark space, it was the despair that could not be resisted and was everywhere, but in front of that monster, it was the despair of hope to be broken again and again, and this despair was like a knife, stabbing him in the heart again and again!
There are infinite possibilities in this so-called amusement park, but these possibilities also include death, this is not the world that I imagine to do whatever I want, and I am not the protagonist of those who are full of luck, I am just a little person with a strong curiosity, a small person......
Mu Yan lay down in a fairly flat place, with a thin layer of hay behind his back, which Cora had specially collected for him. Although I could still feel the uneven rocks on the ground, it was much more comfortable than Parr's bumpy back.
When the hunters found him awake, they found a nearby place to rest, and after running all morning, everyone in the hunting party was a little tired.
This is the afternoon of the sixth day, after Mu Yan learned the news, he also smiled helplessly, every day passed in the past few days was so difficult, and now he woke up with only the last day. Of course, he also knew that if he didn't wake up, that night might be his last day.
He looked around, and there were only six people left in the eight-man hunting party.
With a sigh in his heart, Mu Yan didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything.
Everyone in the hunting party had unconcealed sadness in their eyes, but their eyes were extremely determined, they were born in the Shadow Forest, they grew up in the Shadow Forest, they knew the cruelty of this forest better than anyone else, they didn't need to be comforted by others, and they would not comfort anyone.
They are not worried that their family will be taken care of by no one, just like Cora took care of Mu Yan, every dead person will have someone spontaneously take care of their family, or friends, or people they don't know, there may be intrigues, there may be intrigues, but more is a group of poor people huddled together to care for more poor people, more unity and sacrifice in the face of foreign enemies, in this forest full of despair, human beings care for this small flower of hope with their lives.
"Wow!"
Parr picked up a pot of medicine and expertly poured it into the pot.
Sniffing the fragrance of the medicine, Mu Yan knew that this was the potion used to neutralize the dark element on Grimo's body last time, but there was no Grimo among the six people now, and the person who used the medicine was replaced by Mu Yan.
Cora sat next to Mu Yan, looked at the confusion in Mu Yan's eyes, and sighed slightly, he suffered such a big blow that night, and even wandered around the death line, even if this child had a firmness and maturity that surprised it, it was inevitable that he would doubt himself. After all, cruelty is unimaginable, and you can only understand it if you experience it.
"Is it useful that we're struggling like this?" Mu Yan's voice was a little hoarse and a little tired.
Cora could hear the deep confusion inside.
"Grimo died the night you passed out." He didn't answer directly, but spoke a little tiredly.
Mu Yan turned his head to look at him and nodded.
"You were killed by the monster that injured you." Cora sighed deeply: "The dark element in his body has spread all over his body, and his reaction and speed are not as fast as before, and after the wolves fled, the monster caught up with us again, and he knew that he couldn't escape, so he lured the monster away alone, and we escaped safely." ”
Mu Yan didn't speak.
"Frio died yesterday." Cora continued: "The wolf king has caught up, maybe we are too close to the boar man hunting area, it is in a hurry, so it caught up with itself, we all want to take this opportunity to get rid of it, you know, we may be able to go back after it......"
"But you didn't make it." Mu Yan said in a low voice, he could see the sadness in Cora's expression.
Cora was silent for a moment.
"It's moving so fast that I can't even keep up with it, let alone anyone else. If you want to hurt it, you have to limit its speed first! ”
"So Frio ......"
Cora gritted her teeth: "He hugged the werewolf while the werewolf was not paying attention, and fixed it in place with his body, and we took advantage of that time to abolish one of the werewolf's arms!" But in the end, we let it run, a werewolf bent on escaping, we can't stop it. By the time he came to his senses, Freio was dead, and his heart had already been pierced by the werewolf, but he still held on to let us chop off one of the werewolf's arms......"
"Do you think it's useful for them to struggle like this?"
This time it was Mu Yan's turn to be silent.
Are their struggles useful? Nonsense! Of course it works! The fact that the six of them are still alive now is the biggest proof of this.
But that's not what Mu Yan wants to know.
Obviously, Cora has taught Mu Yan as a junior in the clan, and wants to inspire him through the fearless sacrifices of Grimo and Frio.
It is true that the death of Grimo and Frio made Mu Yan very sad, they were the first people to show kindness to Mu Yan when he first came to this world, Mu Yan was very grateful to them, it was because of them that he was able to quickly integrate into this world, and it was because of them that he survived again and again.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few days of life, he has completely regarded the hunters as comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death together, and now that the two comrades-in-arms have died, how can he not be sad!
But this sadness will not last long, in his subconscious he has been reminding himself that he has always been just an outsider who occupies the dove's nest, a passerby in this world, if the task is completed, he will leave this world, maybe there will be no chance to come back in the future, too much involvement with this world will only make him more uncomfortable.
So Cora's idea was doomed to fail, and the little Evan he knew was no longer in front of him.
He's a tourist, a guest at an amusement park, a traveler to the world, an uninvited villain in the game!
He will face a different world in the future, maybe he will have many opportunities to improve his strength in the future, he will become stronger than now, more experienced than now, but judging by what happened in the past few days, the danger he faces will definitely be more terrible and desperate than now.
If you think about it,
Maybe this world is the reminder of the amusement park to him, just like in the shadow forest, the world he has to face is the monsters one by one, if you can't defeat them, they will be wiped out, and even if you keep hiding, you can't leave the shadow forest in the end, and you will eventually become a handful of loess here!
Thinking of this, the confusion in Mu Yan's eyes dissipated, and from beginning to end, whether you are confused, fearful, or timid, the amusement park only gives you one way, which is to keep getting stronger! No matter where you are, no matter what time you are, you can only live if you become stronger!
It's not an amusement park for people to play, it's not a bloody slaughterhouse, it's just a place to test one's abilities, and every time the world is like an exam, those above the passing line live, and those below the passing line die. Well, it's that simple! So rough!
Mu Yan smiled, took a sip of Parr's freshly baked potion, and felt that he was also sick, so affected by these sentimental things, that he couldn't think of such a simple question clearly.
Although these were just speculations, he had a hunch that his guess was correct, and this premonition came without warning, but it has been lingering in his heart.
What he didn't know was that such sentimental problems would arise for almost every visitor to the "amusement park", and it was just a matter of time, and he wanted to understand it now, and it would be of infinite help to him in the future!
After thinking about this, Mu Yan was in a good mood.
He carried the medicine pot and shook it at Pal with a smile, and Pal raised his hand angrily and slashed it on his head, and he was still in the mood to laugh when he was hurt like this!
Mu Yan: "......"
Cora looked at Mu Yan who had recovered his mood, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, completely taking this as the credit for her words, he didn't often do this kind of enlightening work, and now that he had achieved "success" in Mu Yan's little mouse, he was also a little complacent.
Mu Yan had already discussed with Parr again, now that they were in the hunting area of the boar people, the wolves behind them were not so blatantly chasing them, but they didn't have much time, they had to get to the other side of the forest before dark, and there were usually no monsters stationed in those places.
In fact, Cora wants to continue to teach Mu Yan's knife skills, after all, it is his own heirloom skill, if Mu Yan can learn it, it is equivalent to inheriting his mantle, it is equivalent to having a inheritance, and then his little cub will come to him in the future, he will directly throw the pot to Mu Yan and let him teach! The little rabbit cub in his house is really annoying......
But after teaching a few days ago, Cora found that "Little Aiwen" really has no talent in knife skills, even worse than ordinary hunters, seeing that he is so smart in herbs and traps, but as soon as he teaches him to use a knife, it is terrifying.
Although Cora really hopes that little Evan can learn his knife skills, but if he continues to practice like this, knife skills will become the skill that drags him back the most, so Korra has been thinking about whether to teach him something else, such as boxing for the hunting team?
