Verse 18: My Knight's Creed
Suddenly, he heard the voice of crying for help, and his pupils shrank.
"Someone got trapped in a cobweb. ”
"He's alive!" Needlegold frowned.
"I am a knight, saving the dead and helping the weak, is one of my creeds as a knight. ”
"Calm down first. The boy then admonished himself again.
He stopped retreating, took a closer look, then changed direction and cautiously re-entered the spider's hunting grounds.
He didn't hit any of the cobweb traps, and after changing positions, he looked up and found the cobwebs crying out for help.
The cobwebs were quivering gently, as were the cobwebs around them, tightly wrapping around their prey. The outline of this web is clearly a person.
On this person's face, the cobwebs are sparsely entangled, cracking and cracking, making people barely able to see.
This unlucky fellow was hung in the air, condescendingly, with a wide field of vision, so he saw the needle gold and immediately opened his mouth to call for help.
"Please, help me!"
"If you're gone, I'm completely dead!"
"You're from the Pig's Kiss, aren't you? We're in the same boat. Please, be kind, don't go, don't give up on me......"
When he heard this, his heart moved slightly. He learns a lot of information from Zidi that the ship they are on is indeed the Pig's Kiss.
It looks like this trapped guy should be a member of the Pig's Kiss.
Needle gold did not act.
If you rush to the rescue, you may well trap yourself in it. Even further, it will be in danger of Zidi.
He stood still, staring intently at the hanging creature, and at the spiders hidden in the canopy.
He had to be sure it wasn't a trap!
The muscles of the needle gold are tense, and the slightest wind and grass can react immediately.
But the spiders didn't move at all.
After the helper pleaded for a moment, he found that the needle gold did not move, and he gradually reacted, and continued to cry in a low voice: "Don't doubt me. ”
"When the beasts fall into the cobwebs, they struggle desperately, and the more they struggle, the more silk sticks to their bodies, and the tighter the webs become, and eventually they suffocate to death. ”
"I didn't. ”
"I passed out at the time, and then I was covered in a cobweb, tied up, so I'm still alive. ”
"Please, save me. I don't want to die......"
At this, the helper let out a low cry.
Trapped in a cobweb, motionless, watching death approach, the fear is unbearable and almost drives the rescuer crazy.
This true outpouring of human nature makes Needle Gold a little more believable.
The fear of death is an inevitable part of every life. Even if he is a knight, brave enough to face the monkey-tailed brown bear and fight with its hard regrets, he still has a fear mood.
Fear does not mean that you are weak. True bravery is to face fear at all times.
"Still no response? It seems that these spiders hunt and don't do it by sound. Guessing in his mind, Needle Gold decided to take a slight risk.
He opened his mouth and called softly, "Hey, what's your name?"
The trapped man was suddenly excited: "My name is Huang Zao, my lord, I am Huang Zao, and I am a sailor on the Pig Kiss." Kind lord, kind lord, if you rescue me, I will do my best to repay your kindness!"
At this time, most of the attention of needle gold is still on the canopy. When he spoke, the spiders were still silent, which made him let go of his worries and make sure his previous guess was correct.
"So, Huang Zao, how can I save you?" asked Needle Gold again.
This is a crucial question, he needs to confirm the heart of Huang Moo, and get more information.
So far, he has doubts.
Could it be that these spiders deliberately do not kill their prey, but make the prey make a sound to attract the corresponding group?
Maybe these spiders just don't send their hair, just waiting for the needle to come back and call more humans to rescue. When there are more people, the spider will collect the web.
In the face of Needle Jin's question, Huang Zao knew everything, and hurriedly reminded him: "My lord, you must not take the liberty of making a move! The spiders here will fall to the ground at night and secretly lay their webs. These webs are buried in the ground and once stepped on, they will launch this trap. The webs are retracted high, causing spiders to weave and prey hangs in mid-air. ”
"No matter how loud I speak, there will never be no spiders. But when I struggle hard and shake the silk above me to a certain extent, it will cause the spider to re-weave the web. So, once you get me out of the web, you're going to get spiders. ”
"These spiders, each of them are bronze creatures, and their strength is very terrifying. There are at least a dozen spiders around here!"
"The force of these spiders is no different from that of a horse. I was careless, and I was knocked off the ground by a spider, hit the trunk of a tree, and fainted on the spot. ”
"When I opened my eyes in a daze, I was already suspended in mid-air, and the expedition team had been defeated, and the survivors were fleeing. But these spiders also cooperate, not only do they spread their webs on the ground, but two or three of them work together to weave a larger web in mid-air. However, they fall from the sky with cobwebs and cover their prey. ”
"These webs are very sticky, and you have to have a very sharp sword and skill to cut through them. My brother Cyanobacteria is the Explorer Captain, and he is a good hand with a knife. I've seen it happen to me that when his blade gets entangled in spider silk and slows down, he can't split the webs at all. ”
"Use fire!"
Eventually, they used fire to burn the cobwebs and run for their lives. These spiders are actually quite afraid of fire. I wanted to call for help, but I was so dazed that I couldn't even call, and I couldn't even see. I listened to the shouts of the men, and then I passed out again. ”
"When I woke up, there was no fire, and I was the only one left. ”
Needle Jin listened intently, secretly analyzing the information contained here.
After a while, he asked, "Is your name Huang Zao?" How many people are in your group, and why did you get here? Did anyone else survive besides your group, and when were you attacked?"
Huang Zao did not hesitate and quickly replied: "The Pig Kiss was shipwrecked, the waves were very strong that night, and we tried to steer it, but the hull was still broken in half. The hull of the first half of the boat crashed into the reef, and the survivors all came to the island's beach that night. Even our group of people, there are about 100 people. ”
"The captain is missing, and the first mate is in command of us. ”
"This island is very strange, and low-level magic and fighting spirit can't be used. ”
"We set up a makeshift camp on the beach. The first mate assigned my brother and me, along with a few others, to explore the island, looking for wood to make the hull of the ship, as well as food and fresh water. ”
"The jungle was full of dangers, and we encountered many strange beasts. Our expedition team lost a lot of people, but gained very little. We grew up and walked back. ”
"As a result, on the way back, the landscape has changed!"
"It was a rainforest, but I didn't know what was going on, and we ended up in a desert. ”
"Many people thought it was a hallucination, but they couldn't break free, we panicked, and some even committed suicide. For a point, the team was thrown into disarray. ”
"The food and water were consumed so quickly that I thought the whole team was going to die. Luckily, we had a traveler on our team, an old scholar who had served a nobleman in a desert realm. His name was Beard, and he used his methods to find his way through the desert, and he also found an oasis to replenish fresh water. We rested in the oasis for a few days before continuing our journey. Our luck changed and we reached the edge of the desert and ended up in the forest. ”
"When we got here, we were ambushed by a swarm of spiders. Most of them fled, but five or six died. When they were fleeing for their lives, I heard my brother shouting to retreat, and he must have not noticed that I was missing, so he didn't come to save me. In fact, I was captured by spiders and used as a reserve of food, but I'm still alive!"
The emotions of the yellow algae are very excited.
Needle Gold remained silent.
Huang Zao's mood gradually calmed down again, and he continued: "I don't know how many days have passed. How long I was unconscious, no one told me. But when I came to my senses, three days and two nights had passed. ”
"For the sake of Emperor Shengming, save me. My lord, we are people on the same ship! Now, only you can save me! Please have mercy, and I will repay you with all my might!"
The yellow algae made a pleading sound again.
"Is there a desert here?" puzzled Needlegold.
"My lord, I didn't lie to you, absolutely not!" Huang Zao's voice raised, "I know, I know, it sounds unbelievable, but it's true. We really got to the desert and then somehow ended up here. ”
Needle Jin nodded slightly, and said comfortingly: "I will save you and do my best." But I can't do it alone, I'm going back and calling more people now. Is there any way you can get in touch with the previous people?"
"I have a whistle and the sound of the whistle travels far away, but it's in my pocket. In addition to that, I can also speak flags, I stand on a high place, and I can signal with colored flags. Huang Zao hurriedly spoke.
Seeing that the needle gold was silent, he immediately added: "Password, by the way, I still have a password!" We have discussed, there will be a password along the way, as long as you follow the code, you can find my brother and them!"
Needle Gold looked at the sky.
It was getting dark fast, and it wasn't long before evening.
"Wait a little and I'll be back. The needle turned and walked away.
"My lord, I'll wait for you. You must come back, and don't forget me, poor man, for you are my only hope. I will definitely repay you!!"
The needle gold walked far away, and the shouts of yellow algae behind him were still endless.
You could tell he was calling with all his might.
His voice was hoarse, full of fear and panic, but also with heavy anticipation.
After all, needle gold can be regarded as his only life.
How so?
The teenager empathizes.
Life is so beautiful, so the needle gold is very cherished. Not so long ago, he was also on the verge of death in the face of fire poison and brown bears.
In the alternation of coma and awakening, he was also full of helplessness, panic, and worry, but also with hope and sincere repentance.
The expectation of yellow algae, falling on the shoulders of needle gold, is a heavy weight.
How to save him?
How can you fight against so many spiders, at least a dozen bronze beasts?
Many questions were placed in front of Needle Jin, he shook his head slightly, his eyes were firm: "No matter what, let's meet Zidi first." ”
After a while, the boy and the girl were reunited.
In fact, after the separation, the girl tried to keep catching up behind the needle. The scaly horned panther is not fast, and the gap between the two sides is not large.
"There is no danger, is it?" asked Needle Gold.
"Hmm. Rest assured, I'm not defenseless. Zidi nodded first, and then gently patted the small leather bag on her waist, with a look of pride on her face.
"I've discovered something new here. Needle Kim recounted the development of the matter simply and directly, and asked the girl for her opinion.
When Zidi heard this, she thought for a moment and replied, "My lord, I suggest you save him." ”
Although Needle Gold also has a tendency, at the moment he prefers to hear what Zidi really thinks. So, he continued, "Can you elaborate on the reason?"
Zi Di's expression was solemn, and she said in a sincere tone: "My lord, according to what you said, he has the aura of bronze. The bronze level is already a lower-class elite, and in general, can serve as a boatswain on a ship. Those who can fight can also become a stormtrooper leader. Speaking of this person alone, he has the qualifications to solicit. Once the adults rescue him, the possibility of him serving the adults is extremely high. ”
"In addition to this, he has brothers, his elder brother, Cyanobacteria, who is the captain of this expedition. The position is higher than him, which proves that the strength is stronger. Accepting a yellow algae, it is likely to bring his brother cyanobacteria with him, which is two bronze-level elites. There must be a group of vassals around them, and once the two of them take refuge, you will be able to subdue a group of subordinates by the way. ”
"We need manpower now. Even if we don't think about taking control of White Sands in the future, these people can increase our chances of survival on the island. Sometimes, when you encounter danger, you just need to outrun your companions. ”
Speaking of this, Zidi's eyes flashed with a ghostly glow.
Needle Gold nodded: "Anything else?"
Zidi continued, "We still need intelligence. So, even if these two don't turn to adults, even if it's just to communicate with them, we can expand our map and deepen our understanding of this island. ”
"According to Huang Zao, the large army is building ships to save itself. This is also the surest way for us to get out of here and go to White Sands. But even if we had a boat, there was no one to steer it for us. ”
"To keep a ship on the seas for months, you need a captain, an adjutant, a navigator, a sailor, a helmsman, a carpenter, a gunner, a ship doctor, a lookout, and so on. ”
"Saving these people as much as possible will also make our subsequent voyages safer and faster. ”
Needle Gold and Purple Ty don't control sea ships.
"But to save him, you have to face at least a dozen bronze spiders......" Needle Gold groaned.
"My lord, I already have a solution. Zidi smiled and said, "Believe me, if the effort is greater than the gain, I will never do this." ”
Needle Jin laughed: "Hehehe, should I say that I really deserve to be the contemporary president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?"
The young knight looked at Zidi with admiration, and his expression gradually became serious.
"You're right. But you forget the most important point. ”
Zidi hurriedly restrained her smile and lowered her head: "Please also give me advice." ”
"I am a Templar, a knight of knights, and it is my credo to help the weak and save the wounded! The young man's resounding words echoed in the quiet forest.
For a while, Zidi looked at the young man, stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Adult, I understand." ”
