Chapter 39: Rain or Shine
"It seems that this so-called legend is not so simple. None of us have anything to do with it, though. After listening to Laura's words, Su Bai said, "By the way, since that queen can control the rain and weather, then the strange weather on this island can't be affected by her power, right?" ”
"The Queen has been dead for thousands of years. If her power could still affect the weather on this island, then how powerful her mana should have been in the first place. Laura exclaimed.
"Maybe she's not really dead." Su Bai said jokingly.
Turning his head to look outside, the wind and rain were getting stronger. There was lightning and thunder in the sky.
Retracting his gaze, Su Bai looked at Laura and said, "It seems that we have to stay here for a while, maybe we have to stay overnight." ”
"In this kind of weather, there is no way to move on." Laura also sighed slightly.
"Sit down and rest for a while."
Su Bai walked to the wall and sat down, stretching out his hand to greet Laura.
The girl sat down beside him, looking at the wind and rain outside, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes: "I don't know what happened to Ross." ”
"Don't worry, Captain Ross is much better than our two rookies." Su Bai said with a smile, "He used to be a Royal Marine Commando and a veteran adventurer. Even if you are injured now, it is not a problem to protect yourself. In addition, in this kind of weather, there will not be too many threats from other people or animals. ”
"You're right." Laura laughed and said in a nostalgic tone, "My skills are still taught by Rose, he is much better than me." ”
"I'm sure you'll be even better in the future, Laura." Su Bai stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulder, "There is a saying in our Huaxia that it is better to be blue than blue." I'm sure you'll be a great adventurer. ”
"But my first independent adventure became what it is now." The girl tilted her head and leaned lightly on his shoulder, muttering softly.
"But we did find the ruins of the Yamatai Kingdom, didn't we?" Su Bai said, "As for now, it's just a risk that all expeditions must go through. When we leave here, our discoveries will be able to shock the world. ”
"I hope so...... Now I just want everyone to leave safely......"
Laura's voice faded away, her eyes closed, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Su Bai stretched out his hand and stroked the girl's hair, and muttered, "Everything will be okay Laura, and you will also become a legend-like existence." I just don't know if I can continue to be by your side at that time......"
At this moment, Su Bai suddenly had an idea of "it's not bad to stay in this world all the time". It's just that this idea was quickly dispelled by him.
His relatives, his friends, everything he was familiar with, was in another world. As for this, let's think of it as a real dream. When it's all over, maybe it's time to wake up.
I just don't know if he will return to that ordinary life after that, or start a new journey through the world.
Thoughts drift aimlessly. Gradually, Su Bai's consciousness also became blurred. Before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.
……
The next day, the two who had been sleeping together woke up.
The storm had stopped, and the sky was clear and the sun was just right.
"It's time for us to go, Laura."
Standing outside the room, Su Bai stretched and turned back to Laura with a smile.
Laura nodded: "I hope to be able to reach the tower today and send out a distress signal." ”
The two continued to climb up the rock wall.
When passing a wooden bridge over a waterfall, the already decaying wooden bridge suddenly collapsed, making Su Bai, who was walking in front of him, almost fall down.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly after being strengthened, and quickly grabbed the wooden bridge pier without being swept down by the rushing water. Later, with the help of Laura, who jumped to the opposite bank, he climbed ashore.
"It's so dangerous." Su Bai looked at the wreckage of the wooden bridge that was washed down the waterfall with a palpitating expression, "The wooden buildings here have all decayed, we must pay attention next time." ”
"It's been a lot of years, and those guys don't seem to have repaired it." "No, maybe they didn't fix it at all, just to keep anyone else from getting here." ”
She thought of the conversation between the two men she had overheard yesterday.
"Anyway, let's keep walking."
Su Bai turned his head, and on the stone steps in front of him was something like a door formed by two stone pillars, and behind him was a small path.
At this moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
"Laura, are you there?" Reyes's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Reyes, have you found Sanmantha?" Laura immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and asked eagerly.
"We're still looking." Reyes replied.
"We're going to try to send a distress signal from that old radio tower up there." Laura said, "Any suggestions?" ”
"Hey, Laura." Alex's voice rang out, "You'll have to find out where the communications console is." The console looks like an old-fashioned switchboard. ”
"Okay, I'll get in touch with you when we find out." Laura said a word, ending the communication.
"Looks like Reyes and they're okay, we just need to find Sanmantha again." Su Bai said.
Laura also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, I hope everything will go well in the future." Let's go, Sue. ”
The two walked along the path.
Ahead is a cliff with a zipline leading down.
They had just landed along the zipline when they heard a man's rapid shout: "Hey, hey! Hurry up and find the intruders! ”
"Hurry up, catch them!"
In a jumble of footsteps, several men ran from the front.
"Please don't do this!" Laura pleaded loudly.
"Don't talk to them, Laura. These people won't listen. ”
Su Bai grabbed Laura's arm and hid behind a rock, then took off her bow and arrows. Glancing at the sad girl, he continued, "The only thing we can use to communicate with them is the weapon in our hands!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow whizzed. Su Bai hurriedly lowered his head, and the arrow shot at the rock, smashing out a piece of debris and splattering.
"How did they climb up?" Several people on the opposite side also hid behind the stones, and one of them said incredulously.
"Leave this alone, kill them!" The other man replied murderously.
Then another arrow came.
"You hear me, Laura." Su Bai said, "We have no choice, we have to fight. ”
"I understand, Sue." Laura bit her lip lightly and held the bow and arrow in her hand.
"Good."
A smile appeared on Su Bai's face, and he quickly retracted.
Taking a deep breath, he jerked to his feet. The bowstring was pulled open, the cold arrow pointed in the direction from which the sound had come, and then the finger loosened.
He didn't even look at whether there was anyone there, and as soon as the arrow was fired, he immediately bent down and hid behind the rocks.
Almost at the same time, a scream rang out.
