Chapter 67: Dangerous Dew (4)
It was an embarrassing, dangerous and arduous escape, in the midst of such a dense forest, countless brushes with death, but there was no hope of safety.
Under such an escape, if someone with a slightly weaker psychological endurance is afraid that he would have collapsed a long time ago, just like after I kept escaping for more than half an hour, my heart has gradually fallen into despair. The cold arrows in these dense forests are always endless, there is no intention of stopping, and I don't know how many people surrounded me and Shen Jingyun, but there was no trace, it felt like there was an enemy hiding in the shadows, and he had made up his mind to fight you endlessly, and you had no way to stop this disaster except to run away and dodge.
But I didn't collapse in the end, because there was also a Shen Jingyun by his side, he had obviously gone through such a hard fight, and at this moment, it stands to reason that he should have reached a limit regardless of psychology or physiology, but he is still so strong.
In the running wind, I would turn my head from time to time to look at the side of his face, and his expression did not change in the slightest except for the corners of his mouth tightly pursed. He is calm, always able to take me to avoid every cold arrow in time, even if he drags me to run, his speed can be maintained at just the right speed, plus the flexible choice of shelter, we are not too passive.
But my heart is still full of worries, Shen Jingyun is a person or not a god, he must have his own limits, if this kind of attack does not stop, how should we avoid this crisis?
Another ten minutes passed, and Shen Jingyun and I hid behind a big tree, and we couldn't stop each other from gasping loudly.
A minute has passed, and no cold arrows have reappeared, does it mean that we have avoided this catastrophe? No one gave us an answer, this disaster came too quickly, and the end was very inexplicable, so people couldn't guess the reason for it for a while? But at this moment, we don't care to guess what the reason is, because we have to determine whether we really got out of this disaster, or whether we have fallen into a worse situation, whether we have been surrounded, whether we have completely fallen into the trap of the enemy, and so on.
After a little respite, Shen Jingyun took a sip of water, the fight with the big snake just now made us lose all our luggage, the only luck is that the kettle with clean drinking water we have treated is still on me, just now during the escape period, Shen Jingyun in order to reduce my burden, hung the kettle on his body.
In other words, we are in a very bad situation now, except for a pot of drinking water, a bag with Shen Jingyun that contains the magic weapon he wants to use, and the two weapons on our bodies, we have nothing else. There was no food, no tools, not even a change of clothes......
After drinking two sips of water, Shen Jingyun's whole person relaxed a little, and it could be seen that he was still very thirsty, after all, he was sweating a lot and needed to replenish water in the fight and escape just now, but he still handed me the kettle: "You also drink two sips, as long as you don't feel too thirsty, don't drink it." After all, the water in the wild can't be drunk casually, and I'm not sure we'll be able to get our luggage back. So, before we got to the lake, we probably only had a pot of water. ”
I nodded, took the kettle in Shen Jingyun's hand, and only took two small sips with restraint, and then screwed the lid on.
For the rest of our lives, we were not in the mood to speak, but leaned on each other and continued to rest for two minutes. There was still no movement around me in the past two minutes, and just when I was silent, Shen Jingyun gently helped me tidy up the messy hair around my ears, and was about to say something to me, but I suddenly clenched Shen Jingyun's hand and asked, "Those people, are they the Eye Clan?" ”
In fact, the answer is self-evident, I asked this sentence is purely nonsense, but this is affirmed, these people are really people from the Eye Clan, so Shen Jingyun's previous guess can basically be determined. And what a cruel answer this certainty is, I don't want to face it even if I think about it. Because it's like a fish in a net that has been firmly locked in, and there is no longer life.
Shen Jingyun didn't speak, just hugged me gently, and then said: "It doesn't matter if it's a member of the Eye Clan or not, in short, we have come to this point today, and we have to face everything." You wait here for me, and I'll make sure they're not tracking us anymore. ”
I nodded, silently watching Shen Jingyun get up to investigate, but my heart kept encouraging myself, I didn't want to drag Shen Jingyun down even more.
In this way, about ten minutes later, Shen Jingyun came back, his eyes were strange and thoughtful, but he still said to me: "Xiaoshuang, those people have really disappeared. "I also have this strange feeling in my heart again, or the question just now, why did it appear abruptly and disappear inexplicably, what is the purpose?
At the same time, the great uneasiness in my heart still exists, but I can't find the source.
I looked at Shen Jingyun's frowning brows, and knew that he was also thinking about this issue, so I didn't bother him. Moreover, I noticed that he was still holding an arrow in his hand, which was naturally the cold arrow that had just been shot at us. I took the arrow from Shen Jingyun's hand, and found that the arrow was very poorly made, not even a metal arrowhead, the whole arrow was made of that kind of hard hardwood, but the arrow was sharpened.
But I don't think this kind of arrow is not very lethal, looking at the sharp arrow, feeling its hardness, I know that it is just as deadly when it hits the body, otherwise the first arrow would not have gone into the trunk.
Just a simple arrow can already judge many things, just like the owner of the arrow must have lived here for a long time, almost out of touch with modern society, to make such a simple arrow. In addition, if you look closely, you can see that there is a strange symbol carved in the middle of the arrow, which is the symbol we often see in this dense forest, and the boundary stone used to divide the territory is such a symbol, that strange symbol like an eye.
It's the people of the Eye Clan, and once again the evidence confirms this fact.
I didn't speak, silently put down the arrow, and Shen Jingyun said to me at this time: "Xiaoshuang, I can't judge the purpose of these people for the time being. Now we can't care so much about this situation, let's try to get back to the right path, there are too many dangers in this dense forest. Then, see if we can find our luggage. ”
I nodded and stood up, while Shen Jingyun took out his notebook that recorded various routes, identified a direction and led me forward.
But less than twenty minutes later, Shen Jingyun and I ran back here in embarrassment, because as soon as we approached the route we had traveled before, the cold arrow would appear and shoot us mercilessly. We simply can't go back to the way we were going.
"At least it's clear now that part of their purpose is that they don't want us to approach that part of the area." Shen Jingyun gasped and said with a wry smile.
"So what to do?" If you don't take the known safe path, I don't know what will happen along the way?
"What can I do? Just take a detour. Then slowly approach the safe path after that. Shen Jingyun was undoubtedly a decisive person and made a decision quickly. There was no hesitation in his eyes, just a calm firmness.
Looking at Shen Jingyun, he is like this, who has supported us all the way to the present.
My heart suddenly became optimistic, although we had no important luggage and deviated from the route, Shen Jingyun was so powerful that people felt that no matter what problems they encountered, as long as they were there, they could be solved.
After resting for a while, we continued on our way, unexpectedly calm along the way, and there were no strange animals coming out, and no cold arrows reappeared.
Along the way, Shen Jingyun took me carefully and slowly approached the original route, and was forced to deviate from the original route, no matter how I thought about it, I would feel that there must be some conspiracy in it, and if I didn't go back, I would always feel at ease.
But a few hours later, we failed!
When approaching the original route to a certain range, wolves appear, and they are wolves that cannot be shaken off by all means. Like sheep being chased, we can only run away, and as soon as we run out of range and deviate from our previous route, the wolves will stop chasing and disperse.
This matter seems to be very obvious now, in this mysterious dense forest, there is a force driving me and Shen Jingyun to take the route he wants us to take!
Shen Jingyun and I fell into a very passive situation, knowing that the force hidden behind it was such a purpose, but we had no way to solve it, at least with the strength of the two of us, there was no way to deal with such a large wolf pack and those who didn't know how many, shooting cold arrows.
But Shen Jingyun is also a person who will never give up easily, despite such difficulties, he still tries to get close to the safe route we planned before again and again, but helplessly, there will still be a strong "enemy" every time, such as poisonous insect swarms, and several strange and powerful animals, including those who put cold arrows will also appear again.
On this day, we were pushed forward in this repeated entanglement, and it was not until the evening that we found a place to camp and prepared to camp.
Without luggage, even camping has become an extremely troublesome thing, but fortunately, Shen Jingyun has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, and with the help of my ability, we still sorted out a simple camp and lit a fire.
Shen Jingyun was beside the fire taking care of a prey he had gotten on the road before, it was our dinner, but he was as firm as him, and at this time, he was also a little anxious, and he said to me: "Xiaoshuang, you also feel it, we are forced to move forward." There's no way to resist, so let's just go on and see what their purpose is, right? ”
