The roar of the manta monkey alarmed the nearby birds and flew into the sky.

This movement also attracted the attention of the black roll and his party.

They subconsciously stopped and turned their heads to look behind them.

"What sound?"

"Did you hear anything just now?"

"It looks like a manta monkey is roaring. ”

"How is that possible?" Kuromaki said with a smile, "Manta monkeys are all in groups, and even wandering manta monkeys that have been expelled from the tribe do not dare to go deep into the vicinity of the valley camp. ”

"Let's go investigate?" someone suggested.

Black Roll shook his head: "There's no need. A single wandering manta monkey is not a threat, was there really any movement just now? Why didn't I hear it? The wind was blowing, and the wind was getting louder and louder. The camp is right in front of you, are some of you too nervous?"

Everyone knew the strength of the black scroll, and since the bronze-level elites all said so, everyone was relieved.

"It's just the rumors. ”

"Alright, let's go back to camp. ”

The group walked into the valley.

In the distance, in the canopy.

The manta monkey no longer roared, but gritted its teeth.

The roar just now seemed to vent the killing intent and impulse in his heart.

"No, no!"

"I'm needle gold. ”

"I'm Needle Gold!"

The bat monkey was half-kneeling on the branch, and he was hunched over, as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of weight at the moment.

"I'm ...... Templars. ”

His forehead was already wet, and it was strange that the previous rush tracking didn't sweat so much.

The mist of confusion in his eyes was gradually fading, and there seemed to be a candle flame in the mist. The candle flame flickered, burned, and gradually strengthened.

"I'm not a murderer, I can't do it, and I shouldn't kill Kuromaki. ”

"I protect the good and the weak, I uphold justice and fairness, I will not slaughter innocents, never!"

Needle Gold kept swearing in his heart.

He breathed heavily, and at this moment it was as if he was in a state of exhaustion.

He felt like he was in prostration.

Finally, he took a deep look at the valley, turned around, and returned the way he came, with a staggering posture and vain steps.

"Let's go. ”

"Your secret has been exposed. ”

"Let's go, don't come back. Treat it as if the 'Needle Gold' is dead, so that at least it will leave you a reputation. If your secret is revealed, the Hundred Needles family will be disgraced by it!"

"Shut up!" Needle Gold yelled inwardly.

"I will not run away, I am the leader, and I will escape from this island with these people. No matter what they think of me, I will practice my knightly ways, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a leader! Even if they misunderstand me, hate me, and reject me. Because that's what I'm supposed to do!"

On the way back, Needle Gold strengthened his heart.

Re-find your gear and put them on neatly.

Although he had put on and taken off many times, he had never felt the weight of the clothes on his body once.

It's heavier than Mango's full-body steel armor.

The teenager's steps seemed heavier.

He walked back towards the valley, his face expressionless.

The dark and dreary rainforest, layered with vegetation that fills the horizon, is like a wall. The night was thick, as if he had no bright prospects.

What a hard journey!

Obviously, Needle Gold has long been accustomed to trekking in the rainforest, and it is clear that there are no more fierce demonic beasts blocking this way.

But Needle Gold felt extremely difficult, and it seemed that every step was greatly consuming his physical strength, his mental strength.

In the depths of his heart, there was also a weak voice, which was constantly praying - to let this path be eternal, let himself go on forever, and there would be no end to it.

The return journey was limited, and the needle gold finally came to the outside of the small valley.

He saw the camp gate outside the valley, he saw the fire in the valley, and he felt the crowd.

In the past, every time he returned, he would feel warm when he saw these tracks. But now, whether it was the camp gate, or the guards, or the light of the fire and the smoke of the fragrant cooking, it seemed to be a layer away from him. It's just one layer, it's as far away as the difference between heaven and earth!

Needle Jin took a deep breath, tried to straighten his chest, and walked towards the camp gate as if he were rushing to the execution ground.

"Lord Needle Gold?"

"It's Lord Needle Gold who is back!"

The guards greeted and hurriedly opened the gate of the camp for Needlegold, looking at Needlegold with adoration and love in their eyes.

However, such words and eyes are no longer as warm as before, bringing the motivation to move forward. They were like sharp arrows that flew into the heart of the needle, stabbing him so hard that he felt a twitching pain.

Walking through the camp gate, Needlegold soon came to a clearing in the valley.

It had been converted into a dockyard, with keels and masts arranged in separate corners, and a large number of hemp ropes lined up together, all coated with ointment provided by Zidi. After a period of drying, the twine becomes stronger and more durable, enough to act as a sail line.

Walking through the clearing, halfway to the cave, Needlegold saw a lot of people.

These people had just finished their work and were eating today's dinner around the long wooden table.

The arrival of the needle gold made these people at the dinner stand up and salute.

It's entirely their spontaneous behavior.

Now, in the face of these, Needle Gold feels an invisible oppressive force!

"They don't know yet, what will they think of me when the secret is revealed?" Needle Gold was full of bitterness in her heart, and at the same time smiled at them, motioning for them to sit down, and continue to eat without being polite.

Walking through the crowd that continued to sit down to eat, Needle Gold saw the white buds.

"Lord Jinjin, you're back. Your Excellency is looking for you, and they are all in the Great Cave right now. Bai Ya said respectfully.

Needle Gold nodded, and he came to the Great Cave.

The cave is the largest in the small valley and is used for meetings and important discussions. In the past, when the boatwright showed the sketches of the sea boats, it was in this.

Now, Mane, Zidi, Cangsu and others are inside.

Apparently, they had already learned about the situation from the black roll.

Standing in front of the Great Cavern, Needlegold inevitably paused.

At this moment, it was as if an invisible mountain was pressed on his feet, and the sound of escape kept getting louder in the depths of his heart.

He can't get out!

In his eyes, the cave seemed to grow larger, and the entrance became pitch black, becoming the entrance to the abyss that devoured everything.

Needle Gold took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again.

He held his heavy breath, stiffened, and walked into the big cave.

As he expected, when he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Cang Whisker, Zi Di, Mane Ge, Three Knives, Black Roll and others all sat around the rectangular stone table, and the main seat was still empty, which was the position of the needle gold.

"Your Excellency. Zidi sat on the left-hand side of the main seat, smiling at the needle, but reluctantly.

The faces of the others were heavy.

There was still fear on the look on the black curly face.

"He's done......" Needle Gold sighed inwardly.

"Perhaps, we're in big trouble. Mango began.

Needle Jin felt his mouth dry, and he stood there like a criminal about to hear the verdict.

Zidi said: "Black Scroll, repeat the information you just had." ”

Black Roll swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said quickly with a palpitating tone: "I saw a monster from a distance, it is very terrifying! A large group of scaly black panthers are not its opponents, its attack method is strange and mysterious, a light touch, those scaly black panthers no matter how strong, will immediately fall to the ground." It was definitely a massacre, a complete massacre. A large group of scaly-horned panthers, at least fifty of them, were easily eliminated by the monster in this way, and it was easier than drinking water. ”

"It's horrible. ”

"It's really horrible!"

"I don't feel like we're going to be its opponents. As soon as I discovered it, I rushed back to the camp to report on this important military situation. In order to avoid panic, I didn't say anything else. ”

Needle gold: ......

"We have analyzed that this terrifying demonic beast is at least silver-level. Zidi said in a solemn tone.

"No, even a silver-tier, such as a blue dog fox wolf, wouldn't slaughter a herd of scaly-horned panthers so easily. Gold-level Warcraft is more likely!" Mango expressed his opinion.

"Gold?" he slowly frowned as he chewed on the grade, then slowly walked to his place and sat down slowly.

"What kind of monster is it?" asked Needle Gold, staring at the black scroll.

Black Roll shook his head: "I was far away from it at the time, and I couldn't see it clearly. In fact, I found it to be purely an accident. I was attracted by a strange noise. The others were not as fast as me, so I immediately inquired and rushed over to investigate. The strange noise disappeared, and I looked around and found this terrifying beast. I thought this information was too important, and I felt as if the beast had noticed me, so I immediately turned around and retreated, and rushed back as best I could. ”

Mane Ge snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with the performance of the black scroll, he looked at the needle gold: "He can see it very vaguely, and he doesn't even know the physical characteristics of this demonic beast." All I saw was a huge ape with blond hair. To deal with this beast, we need more detailed information!"

Hearing this, Needle Gold leaned back on the back of his chair, closed his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Then, he heard Zidi's voice: "I do need more information, but I don't think Heijuan is doing anything wrong." According to the combat power of this terrifying demonic beast, the black scroll will not be its opponent, and if it hesitates slightly, it is likely to die at the hands of this demonic beast. He was able to bring back the information in time and arouse our vigilance, and he has enough credit for it. ”

Needle Gold opened his eyes, and he heard it.

It is likely that there was already a small dispute here.

Mango was not satisfied with the black roll, thinking that he was cowardly and fled, and that he could bring back more information.

As an employer who hires black rolls, Zidi certainly has to defend her own people.

Sure enough, Mane Ge immediately snorted coldly: "If the black scroll is sacrificed, won't we notice it?" The corpse can also speak, and we will get more information." His actions have violated our rules. At the very least, after he and the team converge, two people should be sent to report the news and continue the investigation. Now, we only know some of the appearance of this demonic beast, and nothing else! In this vast forest, we need to find a demonic beast, it is too difficult. If we can't find it, we have to be on guard against its surprise attack at all times, and such a passive defense will involve our huge attention and energy. ”

"Mane. "I understand you, but please try to understand some of them." Black Roll is a mercenary, not a soldier. ”

Mango stopped talking.

Needle Gold turned his head to look at Zidi and Heijuan again, and the words changed: "Of course, Heijuan, your behavior did violate the rules. Your next actions and orders have indeed made us miss a good opportunity to obtain information. ”

"But I don't think it's because of timidity. ”

"You're not a coward, I remember the first time I saw you, you fought to the death with a bat monkey. ”

"You have a lot of credit for bringing the information back to us, but you can also see that other people have a lot of objections to you. I'll give you the task of scouting this monster next, and tomorrow, you'll lead a small team into the rainforest to scout for relevant information. Hopefully, you will be able to complete this task and eliminate the objections that others have against you. ”

As soon as Needlegold's words fell, Heijuan immediately stood up, straightened up, and said loudly: "Lord Needlegold, I accept this task! I will shut up the others." ”

After saying that, he glared at Mango with anger.

Mane Ge snorted coldly, not thinking about it again.

The meeting was over, and Needle Gold and the others left the Great Cavern.

His heart was filled with intense rejoicing.

I didn't expect him to be able to walk out of this cave as a Templar.

"The truth turned out to be like this, and the black scroll didn't see it clearly at all. ”

"Now that I think about it, that's exactly what it was. Human eyesight is limited, not an eagle falcon, so far away, you can see a blurred figure, the golden scorpion shell is taken as a fur, and the eyesight of the black roll is beyond ordinary people. ”

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous...... What would have happened if I hadn't controlled myself at the time and killed Kuromaki, or even the people of that squad?"

"For the rest of my life, I will be tormented by remorse and guilt to the end!"

"Thankfully, in the end, I stuck to my knightly code!!"

Mutter......

The needle gold belly let out a strange scream.

As soon as he was completely relaxed, he felt a strong feeling of hunger.

After a big meal, Needle Gold returned to his lodgings.

He was exhausted.

It was even more exhausting than the original camp defense battle.

He lay on the bed, exhaling a long puff of cloudy air, his blue eyes shining with hope.

"I'm still a Templar, I'm still a knight of the gods, and no one suspects me!"

"In the future, I will pay special attention to the changes and only practice at night and in private. During the day, try to minimize the abnormality, and even if there is a variation, the surrounding area will be detected clearly with ultrasound. ”

"For those who are scared and worried about this, I can only say sorry. But just like the blue dog fox wolf before, I believe that after a while, you will gradually get used to it. ”

"I'm not going to practice tonight, I'm going to take a good rest. ”

"I'm so tired today...... Oh, I didn't absorb all those scaly panthers......"

"Forget it, let the black roll find out. ”

In this way, Needle Gold fell into a groggy sleep.

After a while, he jerked his eyes open and sat up with his upper body.

He was out of breath and frightened, and just now, he had a nightmare. Everyone discovers his secret, he betrays his relatives, and even Zidi scrutinizes him with suspicion.

"It's just a nightmare. ”

Needle Gold gritted his teeth and fell asleep.

After another moment, he was awakened by a nightmare again. The content of the nightmare is much the same, and this time Zidi, who has always maintained him, is also regarded as a monster.

After calming down, Needlegold fell asleep again.

When he was awakened by a nightmare for the third time, he sat on his bed and was silent for a long time.

The young knight, who was physically and mentally exhausted and haggard, finally realized a little fact-

The secret is not revealed, and everything seems to have not changed.

But in fact......

He couldn't go back.
