Chapter 2 In the Forest
"If you've had enough trouble, let him go, he has other tasks that haven't been completed, and it's not your meal. When he grows up, you'll eventually fight him. ”
The wolf-like beast seemed to be able to understand the words of the man in the cloak, and after slowly putting its tongue on the ground and letting go of Li Yan's body, the long scarlet tongue returned to its mouth.
Li Yan, who was lying on the ground, felt a strong soreness in the bones of his body, which made him not even have the strength to move a finger, so he could only look at the man in the cloak above his face with his eyes wide open and weak.
When Li Yan saw the man in the cloak for the first time, because his head was completely hidden under the hood, Li Yan couldn't see his face clearly, and he could only hear from his voice that he was a man.
And now, because Li Yan was facing the sky, the man in the cloak looked down at Li Yan again, so that Li Yan could vaguely see the face of the man in the cloak.
The man in the cloak just glanced at Li Yan and didn't say anything. Then, the man in the cloak beckoned to the wolf-shaped beast, and after seeing the wolf-shaped beast let out a heart-shattering roar, he left the place in the blink of an eye.
The sudden departure of the wolf-like beast also made the figure of the man in the cloak disappear here again, leaving only Li Yan, who was completely weak, waiting for his unknown future.
Li Yan, who was lying on the ground, looked at the always dim sky, and couldn't feel the passage of time at all. And he didn't care about it, what he really cared about was what the cloaked man said just now.
Li Yan deduced from the cloaked man's words just now that he seemed to have come here to perform some kind of mission, as if this mission was related to the wolf-like beast just now.
Moreover, through the words of the man in the cloak, it reminded Li Yan of what he said about the soul when he met the man in the cloak for the first time.
"Regardless of what will happen between me and the wolf-type beast, I'd better get out of here quickly, in case another beast appears, I can't beat it with my current body!" While Li Yan was thinking in his heart, his upper body tried his best to sit up, causing his face to show a hideous state of terror.
Suddenly, Li Yan heard a slight footstep on the right. Immediately, Li Yan's heart immediately lifted, and he looked to the right with uneasiness in his nervousness.
In Li Yan's line of sight, two figures of similar height were slowly approaching him. A few minutes later, when the two figures clearly stood a few meters away to his right, one of his hearts suddenly relaxed!
Then, Li Yan said to the two figures with a pleading voice: "Can you save me?" ”
The moment the two figures saw Li Yan, they immediately stopped in place. And when Li Yan pleaded, one of the young girls who was 1.6 meters tall, wearing beige clothes and two ponytails floating around the back of their heads at will, immediately hid behind the other girl, looking at Li Yan with surprised and frightened eyes.
The other girl was dressed like a ponytail girl, except that her long hair was scattered casually behind her. And, judging from her face, the girl was a little older than the girl behind her.
The girl hiding behind the long-haired girl dragged the girl's clothes with both hands, and said softly with a timid expression: "Sister, will he be a bad person?" ”
The girl who was called Sister looked at Li Yan with vigilant eyes, and replied, "Let's take a detour and ignore this person." ”
"Hmm." While the girl agreed, the two of them moved towards another place, while observing Li Yan's movements at all times, and preparing to leave here quickly in advance.
Li Yan, who was lying on the ground, was particularly puzzled by the behavior of the two girls. So, he anxiously shouted to them, "Don't go! I'm not a bad person, I'm really not a bad person, I beg you to help me! ”
"Sister, he really doesn't seem to be a bad person, why don't we help?" The girl who followed the girl immediately softened her heart after seeing the helpless expression on Li Yan's face.
"Ignore him!" The long-haired girl obviously identified Li Yan as a bad person, and after saying something to the girl, she sped up and left here!
The girl looked at Li Yan, who was getting farther and farther away from them, and suddenly left behind the long-haired girl and ran quickly towards Li Yan's position, this move scared the girl!
At this time, Li Yan looked at them who were drifting away, and the glimmer of hope that had been ignited in his heart was suddenly extinguished. I saw him lying on the ground in disheartenedness, looking at the dim sky with numb eyes.
"The body can't move, and if you encounter a monster, you will definitely die. It seems that this time I can't escape. ”
Li Yan, who was thinking about it in his heart and looking at the dim sky, suddenly saw a slightly immature face appear above him. Then, an anxious voice sounded: "A dream! Hurry up and come over to me! ”
As he spoke, Li Yan heard a rush of footsteps approaching him. And the girl in front of his face turned her head to look at the position above Li Yan's head, and said timidly: "Sister, he really doesn't seem to be a bad person, you see that his eyes don't even have a little light, as if he is a person waiting for death." ”
Li Yan, who heard this, was suddenly shocked in her heart, and at the same time, the girl who was called sister by the girl had already come to her side, immediately hugged her away from Li Yan's side, and looked at him cautiously!
At this time, Li Yan turned his head to look at the two girls standing on the left side of his body, with a friendly smile on his face: "I'm really not a bad person, I can't move my body now to ask for help from you, I hope you can help me." ”
The girl tugged at the girl's clothes, and the girl looked at Li Yan with suspicious eyes and said, "If you say that you are not a bad person, you are really not a bad person, so why did we come here and the first person we saw was you." And you're still lying on the ground and begging us for help, you think we're going to believe what you say! ”
The girl's words were in Li Yan's ears, and he really confused him, so he asked the girl rhetorically: "Why do you think that I am a bad person instead of being a victim like you, is it because I am lying here?" ”
"That's right!" The girl's answer made Li Yan even more incomprehensible why she had such thoughts, "Why? ”
"Because we've all been kidnapped here by different people, and none of us are lying on the ground like you, looking hurt. So I have reason to suspect that you, like the gang who kidnapped us, just called for help just to get close to us so that you could carry out your plan! ”
"We? Could it be that there are more people in this forest? Li Yan didn't pay attention to the girl's explanation, but paid attention to the word 'we' in her words!
"That's right!" The girl continued: "When I woke up from a dream, I found that there were more than a dozen people around me. When I asked, I found out that they were all walking outside and were knocked unconscious, and when they woke up, they found themselves in this place. ”
"Have you seen a huge wolf or a man hiding his body in a cloak?"
"Nope."
After the girl's words were finished, Li Yan and her fell into silence, thinking about their own things separately, only the girl who was called a dream by the girl looked at the two with those smart eyes.
Yimeng may not be able to stand the silent atmosphere at the moment, or she may be curious about Li Yan lying here, so she asked Li Yan curiously: "You said that you are not a bad person, then why are you lying here?" ”
Li Yan, who was pondering, heard Yimeng's words, and a bitter expression appeared on his face. Immediately, he told Yimeng what had just happened.
After listening to Li Yan's story, Yimeng's mouth opened wide, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief: "There really is such a big wolf!" You're not lying to me? ”
Li Yan laughed at himself: "If you look at the way I look now, you can know that I didn't lie to you." ”
"Then how do you want us to help you?" At this time, the girl who was thinking about it suddenly asked Li Yan.
"Do you believe I'm not a bad person?" Li Yan moved his gaze to the girl and looked at her with a smile.
"The two of us are so close to you now, if you were really the bad guys, you wouldn't let go of this opportunity. But you never made a move, so I choose to trust you. But the girl's words did not stop, and continued: "Moreover, since someone tied us here, there must be their purpose. And if they didn't show up in the first place, and they didn't hurt us, then they must have asked us to find something in the forest or something, then they wouldn't be sending someone out to hurt us. Based on the above conditions, although I believe that you are not a bad person, I cannot rule out that you are one of them, and I only hope that my decision is not wrong. ”
The girl's previous words have made Li Yan feel her cleverness, and the latter paragraph really makes Li Yan feel that this girl's wisdom is very high, and her logical thinking in analyzing things is also very strong!
"You're so smart, I admire you so much." Li Yan did not hesitate to praise the girl, and his praise immediately attracted a dream of pride: "Of course my sister is smart, she is the first in the city, you..."
"Alright." The girl interrupted the next words of a dream, looked at Li Yan seriously, and said: "You said that you were injured by that huge wolf-like beast, and now you are powerless and want us to help you, so how can we help you?" ”
"My current physical weakness should be a short-term phenomenon, and I guess I'll be fine after a while. But I'm afraid that there will be other monsters in the forest, so I want you to leave here with me, and when I regain my strength, I will leave on my own, and I won't cause you any trouble. ”
"Okay!" This time, the girl simply agreed to Li Yan's request, only to let Li Yan be grateful to the girl.
Subsequently, with the support of the two weak girls, the girl and Yimeng, Li Yan gradually stood up. When his legs were really straight and his feet were on the ground, the soreness immediately invaded his nerves and made him almost collapse to the ground!
The girl and Yimeng, who were affected by Li Yan, were almost dragged to the ground by Li Yan's powerful force. In the end, it was the girl who tried her best to prevent Li Yan from collapsing to the ground, but sweat had already appeared on her face, and the expression on her face was full of difficulty!
