Chapter 29 (Alien Beasts...) Jamina)
Chapter 29
Red and Kasa escorted the last wave of retreating tribesmen to the pass of the Holy Mountain, where the recruits worked hard to arrange the route up the mountain for those who had retreated here one after another. When Red and Casa arrived at the pass, they found that their teachers Jemina and Captain Monet had not returned to the place, and decided to go to the outpost to pick them up.
"Brother Red, Brother Casa, I'll go with you, and I can help support the two captains if needed. Alan flashed out of the crowd and followed Red and Kasa. I saw that the wound on her shoulder had been well bandaged, and his father had been transported to the holy mountain by the guards and recruits.
"Now we don't know what's ahead, and it might be dangerous for you to go with us. Kasa was a little worried about whether Alan would be able to keep up with them, and didn't want Alan to come with him.
"Okay, I've decided, I'll come back as soon as I find a strange beast or monster or something, okay......" Alan interrupted Kasa's worries and said firmly, this girl made Kasa and Red feel reliable, and this may also be what Alan wanted to do for Kasa and Red in order to repay Kasa and Red for saving their lives.
"Then let's go!" After Red finished speaking, he took the lead in turning into a red light and rushed forward, and Kasa also signaled Alan to follow, Ailan, as a young man from the Frost Mountain Clan, was still very physically strong, and he kept running behind the two of them, and he did not fall behind.
Rushing all the way to the outpost, as the two brothers expected, the route they chose should be the closest road that Teacher Jemina has walked, along the way there are a lot of slain alien beast wreckage and pus and blood, and the half-alien beasts converted by the bombarded clansmen will turn back into the way they were when they were human, which makes Red, Casa and Alan who pass by a little sad in their hearts.
"After our analysis just now, one thing is ......," Kasa said as he ran, "the humans who are injured by the alien beasts will mutate, but the humans who are injured by the mutated half-alien beasts will not mutate. "Kassa's brief explanation.
"That means that when a foreign beast with a potion enters the village, it is the people who attack it first, in order to cause panic. Red followed up with an analysis.
"Brother Red, Brother Casa, I think that the alien beasts invaded when you were not in the village, and they caused panic, and it seems that they were targeted. Alan also thought about it.
"How did they get in, the watchtower won't be unresponsive, and secondly, who are they targeting?" Red muttered, and Kasa and Alan seemed to be pondering the question.
"Big brother, there's someone ahead. Casa let out a vigilant sound, interrupting the trio's thoughts in an instant. I saw a figure staggering in the ruins not far ahead.
"Captain Monet!!" Alan exclaimed, and the three of them immediately ran to Monet, who was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he staggered step by step, looking extremely weak.
"Captain, why are you alone, Teacher Jemina? Red frowned, grabbed Monet, who was about to fall, and asked eagerly.
"Front...... At the outpost...... We were surrounded, and my sister asked me to break through the siege...... She's still fighting the beasts......" Monet gasped, blood still dripping from the corners of his mouth......
"Alan...... Take Captain Monet away. Red shouted in anger. Hearing Red's order, Alan immediately stepped forward to pick up Monet, nodded to Red and Kasa, and then turned around and rushed towards the Holy Mountain Pass.
Red didn't wait for Alan to go far, and continued to rush forward. Casa was thoughtful, but still followed closely behind the eldest brother and continued to rush in the direction of the outpost.
"Big brother, big brother, you wait, I have some questions......" Casa chased after the angry Red, as if he had something to say.
"Big brother...... Why don't you ask Captain Monet...... How the outpost was breached. And ......" Kasa adjusted his breath and explained to Red as much as he could......
"I don't have that spare time, Teacher Jemina is fighting. Red roared, running without looking back.
"Big brother, just now we passed by a large area of the corpses of alien beasts and semi-alien beasts, which were obviously killed by the teacher, and it is impossible for the teacher to be surrounded by a group of alien beasts and not get out...... The question is...... "What Casa has some doubts about is precisely Monet, who escaped celibately.
The two of them rushed to the outpost before stopping, and Red looked around, except for the corpses of the guards, there was no trace of a single alien beast or a half-alien beast. Not to mention Teacher Jemina, who is fighting.
"Big brother, the soldiers at the outpost are all killed by man-made ...... Because we've ruled out the fact that there were alien beasts and mutants here. And the soldiers who reported to us were patrol soldiers in the village. They are infected by the attack because the alien beasts are directly invading the village. Casa caught up with Red, and everything on the scene had made him more certain about his analysis.
"So what the hell is going on here......" Red was carried away by anger, and when he heard Casa's analysis, he gradually calmed his mind.
"Here, here...... It means that someone killed our soldiers, and the soldiers of the entire outpost were at the same time as the alien beasts invaded!!" Kasa's eyes burst into a frosty chill as he continued to blurt out the rest of his words. "Big brother, it's the inner ghost, taking advantage of the fact that we and the patriarch are not in the village, let the xenos enter the village, wantonly hurt the clansmen, create panic, in order to lure their targets out, and the reason why the outpost did not launch the next support is because ......" Kasa At this time, his eyes finally docked with Red, "It is because...... The inner ghost is at the outpost...... He killed all the outpost soldiers. ”
Hearing this, Red couldn't help but feel a chill hit his back, "Impossible...... Impossible......" Red turned back to look at the way he came, his eyes full of surprise, "the target...... Could it be ......?"
"Teacher Jemina......" Casa silently pronounced the name. At this point, there is no need for him to give an answer, because ...... The man the two brothers had been looking for was slowly walking towards them.
"Jemina...... The teacher ......" The two brothers, looking at the teacher who was walking towards them, stayed in place, tears instantly burst out of their eyes, and the three masters and apprentices who reunited again did not have a warm and happy hug, even if it was a careful greeting. Because, Red and Casa saw Jamina...... Her arms were already covered with scales and claws, which looked so deformed, and her back was densely covered with spikes, and the skin of the beast had covered her left chest, rooted in her body like armor. Jamina is already semi-animalized, which is the most terrifying, painful, and saddest scene for Red and Kasa.
The past came to the minds of the two brothers, the person who taught them since childhood, Jemina is a teacher and a relative, more like the mother they have never met, caring for the two brothers. Jemina taught them physical arts, taught them fighting techniques. Eat and play with them. No matter how much trouble Red and Casa caused and how much trouble they made, the teacher would stand up, even if it was an apology, it was Teacher Jemina who stood in front of them, a mentor and a friend, a loved one, and now ...... But it became the last thing the two brothers wanted to see, like a monster, blocking in front of the two brothers.
The two brothers were already soaked with tears, but they couldn't cry loudly, they were no longer willing to think about any problems, they only hoped that they could find a trace of the smile she used to have on her face from the face of the half-beastly teacher Jemina in front of them, a reassuring smile.
"Thunder...... De, Casa...... Is that you?" The beast-incarnate Jemina muttered the names of the two men, and instantly ...... The top of their heads seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they were at a loss, with complicated expressions on their faces.
"Yes...... It's us, teacher......" Casa replied choked up, and couldn't help but walk towards his beloved teacher.
"That's good...... Take your life......" Jemina's voice changed sharply, and her eyes flickered...... appeared in front of Casa in an instant, and rushed to Kasa who was approaching...... Raised his claws.
