Chapter 9: Escape
"Whew! Woohoo! The sound didn't stop all the way, and it seemed to grow louder as they entered the woods.
After a while, the ground seemed to start shaking, and Eleven listened.
"Rumble!" The sound was vague and unclear, he wasn't sure.
"Did you hear anything?"
"What is the sound of the beasts but these brutes?! Hum! I think you have bad intentions! ”
Eleven glanced at Lei Yue and didn't answer Lei Yue's words.
However, Zhu Tianxiang and Lin Jiao, who were at the forefront, slowed down slightly because of his words, and they both tilted their heads, and they didn't seem to relax their vigilance because they mentioned it Eleven.
As if thinking of something, Lin Jiao's face changed: "Speed up for me, follow me, maybe something worse is coming." ”
"Is something else coming? What is it? ”
Lin Jiao didn't answer Eleven, but just sped up with Zhu Tianxiang beside her, and changed the direction of progress slightly. If they were still running at the speed of normal human running, they had already reached the speed of the athlete's 100-meter sprint.
After a while, Lin Jiao glanced back at the three people behind him, his eyes swept over eleven and squinted slightly, although he ran at the back, his speed was not slow at all, and it didn't look difficult, and more importantly, he also used the weird way that looked like "floating".
In the fourth minute of their accelerated run, and the eleventh minute after entering the woods, the sound of "rumble" was clearly audible to everyone. The trees behind him blocked the view, and Eleven still didn't see anything except for the five or six "monkeys" that kept jumping on the branches more than forty meters behind him.
"Duh!"
Suddenly, a stick stuck on the trunk of a nearby tree, but in an instant the tree was far behind them.
"That's?"
"Duh! Duh! ”
Two more, one of which even flew past him. He looked backwards, and the sight turned his world upside down once more.
Gray hair, a circle larger than a large buffalo, two fangs nearly 30 centimeters long, plus two long, valgus nostrils, this is a wild boar?
But what's the deal with the size of this elephant that is about to catch up? What about the sticks and stones that hung from vine baskets on both sides of it? And what the hell is that short but unusually stout figure standing on its back with a stick?
A monkey riding a wild boar?!
"What's that!?" Eleven exclaimed!
"The cavalry of the 'Dwarf King Kong'! They're all in a team, there's not just one one, it's going to be a hassle to catch up with them, we're too slow, let's go faster! ”
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she accelerated again, and the people behind her also accelerated, but Eleven found that he didn't throw off the magical "monkey" cavalry, and as Lin Jiao said, they were not alone!
Two, three, four、......、 twelve, thirteen!
In five minutes, thirteen "monkeys" riding huge wild boars appeared behind them, and the sound of "rumbling" was like thunder, and those pursuers had reached a place less than thirty meters behind them.
As more and more "monkey" cavalry appeared, not only did the noise become louder, but the "dwarf King Kong" on the pigs' backs threw more and more wooden sticks.
"Hmm!"
With a muffled snort, Eleven hurriedly covered his left arm with his right hand. Hurt! It hurts! But it was more of a numbness feeling, and the left arm was like a sledgehammer hit.
Since he was at the end of the line and more and more sticks were flying, he was accidentally stabbed.
Eleven realized that the tips of the sticks had been sharpened, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them javelins.
But Eleven, who was holding his arm, found that in addition to the pain, there were no wounds on his body, not even his clothes.
Is it an internal force that automatically protects the owner? No, I haven't reached the level of my grandfather yet, and the internal force won't automatically protect the master, right? Be...... Clothes!
He glanced at the black suit that looked like fish scales in amazement, although he knew that it must have some protective effect when he touched it, but the actual toughness of this thing was still beyond his expectations.
"Bang!"
A loud bang startled his eyelids.
A waist-thick tree trunk next to him was smashed into two pieces, and the "monkeys" actually began to throw stones, and stones the size of human heads were thrown out by them like cannonballs.
"Hurry up! Otherwise, you'll be caught up! ”
This time it was Lei Yue's voice, and they were very close, although Lei Yue was in the third position in the line, the javelins thrown by those "monkeys" had already appeared on his side.
The five of them accelerated again, and this time there were even afterimages behind several people, and the speed had already exceeded the limit of ordinary people. In this way, the distance was gradually opened up to those "monkey" cavalry again.
Unfortunately, within three minutes, the "monkeys" gradually narrowed the distance, naturally because the riders on the pigs' backs had lost weight on their mounts over time.
At this moment, Lin Jiao said: "Quick, just move forward, run out of the territory of these beasts, and they won't chase anymore." "Slightly accelerated again
"No...... No, Sister Jiao, I'm ...... I'm already running to the top of my game, and ...... And I'm ...... I can't run. "Xiaofeng, whose name is called, has reached the limit.
Xiaofeng's sudden voice reminded Eleven that she hadn't heard much of this girl who liked to talk all the way, and at this moment, it seemed that the girl might have spent too much of her strength because of the hurry, and it was obvious that she was about to be unable to support it.
Eleven looked at the group of "monkeys" riding big wild boars behind him, and he felt that it should be okay for them to kill these beasts, but Lin Jiao stopped him.
Listening to the heavier and heavier breathing of the girl in front of her, Eleven originally wanted to help her walk with her, but after thinking about it, he changed his words and asked, "Give me the backpack, I'll hold it for you, so you should be able to hold on for a while." ”
Xiao Feng in front of him didn't answer, I don't know if he couldn't spare the strength to reply or was thinking about it. Lin Jiao, who was leading in front of the head, squinted her eyes and opened her mouth first.
"Just mind your own business!"
After she said this, she slowed down slightly and came to the girl named Xiaofeng.
"Xiaofeng, hold me, just hold on for a while, it's almost out of their territory."
After speaking, she grabbed Xiaofeng's left hand with her right hand without carrying the box, and then accelerated with Xiaofeng.
After this acceleration, they gradually distanced themselves from the "monkeys", and even if they threw the wood, stones, and vines attached to their mounts, they could only maintain the same speed as them.
"Woo!"
"Woooooooooooo
"Woooooooooo
Suddenly, the "monkeys" screamed in a hurry, and their speed increased slightly.
"What's wrong with them?" Eleven asked suspiciously.
"They should be in a hurry, hurry! We're going to get out of their territory! ”
Less than half a minute after Lin Jiao said this, the deep voice of Zhu Tianxiang, who was now running in front of the head, came.
"Quick! There's a river ahead, and it should be able to stop these beasts a little! ”
Eleven heard the sound and looked forward, and there was a faint flickering of water between the trees not far ahead. After a few seconds, a small green river more than eight meters wide appeared in his field of vision twenty or thirty meters in front of him.
"Don't stop, just jump over!"
Lin Jiao's words fell, Zhu Tianxiang had already jumped over, and several people behind him also jumped up with the fish. When it was eleven at the end of the day, he suddenly felt something strange, as if something had been missing, so he glanced back.
I don't know when the "dwarf King Kong" and the big wild boar behind have stopped, on the ground, on the pig's back, on the branches, they just stood quietly, did not make any sound, just looked at them silently, and even the big pig under their feet did not make any sound.
Turn your head, tap your toes on the water, and the next foot will fall quietly on the shore.
"They...... What's wrong? Just don't chase it? ”
Hearing this, the people in front of them looked back. Lin Jiao was the first to stop, Xiaofeng hurriedly leaned on the trunk beside him to breathe, Zhu Tianxiang stopped and immediately walked towards Lin Jiao, but Lei Yue looked at the other side for a while after stopping, and then leaned over to everyone.
I don't know if it's because the group of "dwarf King Kongs" have quieted down or something else, but here, except for the sound of the small river flowing in front of me, the other sounds are extremely loud.
Listening to the sound of "smack", even if Eleven kept staring at the woods on the other side of the river, he knew that they were coming.
