Chapter 21: Night Attack
Tobu's pupils shrank, and he slapped the counter with a slap, and said coldly, "You actually used my students as bait?" ā
Chrissy shrugged slightly, "I'm not so capable, and we're old acquaintances, I still understand your temper, this time the arrangement is decided from above, we can only obey." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Tobu said angrily: "You can't let a group of children be bait, knowing that there are alchemists lurking here, and letting a group of children come and lure them for them, this is the behavior of the Holy See of Light?!" ā
Chrissy's face changed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "It is a big sin to discuss the Holy See of Light in private, don't make a mistake!" Besides, if you can capture the alchemist, you will also give these children a meritorious service, and in the future, whether they are eliminated and join the guards, or they are qualified to stay, and become scavengers, this merit is a valuable asset for them, and it is not so easy to establish merit in ordinary times! ā
"Hmph, so I have to thank them?" Tob sneered.
Chrissy said helplessly: "Whether you thank or not, this is a fact, besides, if you change the assessment venue this year, it will startle the snake, this group of alchemists is very well-connected, and it is possible that there are their eyeliner buried in our army, although this group of children is still a little tender, but they graduated after three years, whether they join the guards or scavengers, they are likely to face the alchemists, at that time, they are the soldiers who rush to the front line, no one can shelter, this is also a valuable experience for them!" ā
Tobu frowned slightly, snorted coldly, handed the wooden cup to the old man behind the counter, and said, "Lao Luo, have another cup." ā
"Seeing that you are so angry, give you more ice." The old man behind the counter smiled.
Tobu choked, his head suffocated, and he didn't say anything.

Night is coming.
As the sun goes down, the temperature in the desert immediately drops, and the heat of the sand particles is very poor, and the heat is quickly dissipated. By this time, Dudian and Sham had built a fire pit out of a few stones, and in it were burned with dead plants.
The method of ignition is naturally the most primitive way to drill wood for fire.
"I'm so hungry...... Zaci touched his stomach and looked at Dudian.
Dudian leaned against the fire, closed his eyes, and said, "Stay up, ten days will pass soon, and besides, you will be hungry even faster when you speak." ā
Zachi smiled bitterly and closed his eyes as well.
Macon sat by the fire and said with a smile, "Sleep well, you won't be hungry when you sleep." ā
"It's so hard to live when you're hungry and cold." Sham tightened his clothes and leaned closer to the fire.
Macon smiled slightly, and from time to time picked up firewood and threw it into the fire pit, keeping in mind Dudian's instructions to keep the fire light at all times, so that no wild beast would come closer.
Late at night, the temperature was lower, and from time to time a gust of wind blew, and even though he was sitting by the fire, Macon felt shivering with cold, and his legs trembled slightly, causing his body to generate heat, but the frequent shaking made him suddenly feel a rush of urine.
He looked at the three Dudian who were already asleep, got up and went to the sand beside him, unbuttoned his pants, and was about to pee, but in vain, a dry palm in the darkness stretched out and pinched his throat.
Macon's pupils contracted, his heart beat violently, and fear almost widened his eyes, and he saw a wrinkled face emerge from the darkness, looking at him gloomily, and said in a very slight hoarse voice: "Don't scream." ā
Macon's hairs stood on end all over his body, and he wanted to call for help at the first time, but his mouth was open, but his throat was almost crushed, and he couldn't scream if he wanted to, he could only make a "quack" sound like the fabric tearing, and under this intense fear, Dudian's always calm face appeared in his mind, his eyes opened suddenly, and the soles of his feet struggled to kick back.
The heel kicked the soft sand beneath his feet and splattered beside the fire.
Inadequate!
The distance is not enough!!
Macon was a little desperate.
And at this time, the owner of the dry palm also noticed Macon's cry for help, a chill passed through his cold eyes, and the other hand was raised, and in the darkness, Macon could see clearly through the faint light of the fire, it was a dagger!
Sou!
Straight to the point!
With a bang, at the moment when Macon's mind was completely blank, a stone flew in vain and smashed on the dagger. At the same time, Dudian's roaring voice rang out: "There is an enemy, get up!" ā
At his roar, Zachi and Sham immediately woke up, grabbed the stone on their heads, and looked nervous.
Du Dian stared at this thin but rickety figure in the dark, he has always slept lightly, especially in such a dangerous environment, he was not completely at ease with Macon's vigil, just now he suddenly felt a few grains of sand splashed on his face, and immediately woke up, the first picture of opening his eyes, he saw where Macon was sitting, there was no figure of him, and when he turned his head to look, he happened to see a thrilling scene, and immediately grabbed the stone next to the fire and threw it without thinking, but he didn't expect to hit it.
"Damn it!" This rickety figure is an old man, covered in a black robe, the dagger held in his right hand fell to the ground, his wrist trembled slightly, the severe pain made his heart welled up with anger, pushed away the struggling Macon, took out a green bottle from his chest, opened the bottle, green smoke curled up from the bottle, he aimed at the direction of Du Dian and several people, and blew big.
Green smoke immediately drifted in.
Dudian's face changed, and he hurriedly covered his nose, trying to remind Zachi and Sham, but the green mist had already drifted close and could not speak.
With a plop, Macon, who was closest to the rickety old man, was shrouded in green mist and immediately fell.
Du Dian's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly fell down and pretended to be dead.
There were two more plops, and Dudian didn't need to look to know that most of them were Zachi and Sham who also inhaled the green mist, but they didn't know whether they passed out in a coma or were poisoned to death.
His heart was pounding, and his heart was full of nervousness and doubts, could this be one of the assessments? If that's the case, he believes that all but those big groups will be eliminated!
Could it be that the purpose of this assessment is to unite everyone?
Du Dian's mind was spinning quickly, and he couldn't help but regret it a little, maybe the above meaning was not to let them survive for ten days at all, but to see if they were united?
"Damn imps!" At this moment, Dudian heard the footsteps of the rickety old man, walked towards him, and immediately knew that he wanted to take revenge for his stone-throwing attack, and secretly cried out in his heart.
"Waste my Soul Loss Elixir, damn it!" Just listening to the voice, Du Dian knew that he was gritting his teeth, and his heart was raised, and his palm quietly grabbed a handful of sand, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.
At this moment, Dudian felt that the soles of his feet were grabbed by a dry palm, there was no flesh on this palm, and his ankles hurt a little, he secretly gritted his teeth, and just waited for the other party to bend down to kill him, and then threw the sand in his hand. However, the rickety old man did not seem to have any intention of killing him, but only grabbed him by the ankles and dragged him forward.
Doody sank in relief, knowing that he was going to take himself to his lair to deal with it.
Attack?
Or continue to wait for the opportunity?
