Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Beasts of the Jungle

A gust of wind blew through the jungle, with a hint of the smell of leaves. Frank slowly opened his eyes and saw that everyone was busy with their own business. After a long night's rest, Frank felt that his strength was almost gone. He stood up and soothed his body, feeling his arm still ache as he clenched his fists.

"It seems that the Red Feather Bow should be used sparingly, and if I used it a few more times yesterday, I guess my arm would be scrapped. As Frank thought to himself, the Brown Knight walked up to him with hot food and water.

Frank took the food and water, and as he ate it, he asked, "How is it?

"Not really, but you can hear the strange sounds of the beasts. It's also not clear what the situation is. It stands to reason that this would not be the case at night! Listen, there is still one! Brown said as he picked up the cloak from the ground and put it in his armor.

"I'm not new to this jungle, but I always feel weird about it now. This incessant screaming may be the reason. Frank finished and placed the water bottle on the ground. Looking up at the tree behind him, he saw that the tree was very tall. "You ask a few people to go up to a high place to see what is going on, we can't go any further. Let's wait for Op and them to come, and then we'll see how it goes!"

The Brown Knight quickly found a few men to climb up the canopy, and when they came down, they all said that they could only see the endless jungle and see nothing else.

So, Frank told everyone to start resting in place, waiting for Op to bring someone over to meet him, and then think about what to do next.

But the waiting process was very painful, although everyone's expressions seemed relatively relaxed, but the sound of various beasts in their ears always made people feel uncomfortable.

After waiting for a few hours, Op finally showed up with his team. Haight saw Op in battle armor at this time, like a balloon blown round, very funny. But with a double-edged battle axe in his hand, he strode through the woods like a giant beast. This strong contrast makes Haidt always smirk on the sidelines.

Frank told Op everything that had happened to him, and he wiped his sweat in surprise when he heard that the group of Ormen might have a holy weapon in their hands that made the earth tremble.

"Duke, you know that no one can tell what is hidden in this jungle. Now we are in the maximum range that hunters can reach. No one should know what the hell is going on further along. Op said and looked at Frank.

Frank knew that Op wanted him to order him back, and that Orman had escaped. As long as the fence and the pass are repaired, there should be no other major problems. But why there are so many abnormal things in the jungle that has always been calm, and that roar, he is unwilling to stop.

"Opple, let's move on and look forward. If there are no other anomalies, we'll go back and rearm again. There are already traces of Ovan here, and if we can't find the root cause of their appearance, our protection will be unprecedentedly huge. Frank said, picking up his saber and walking at the front.

The group cleared the road along the way, and after a day of travel, they found nothing else unusual. Just as Frank was hesitating to go back, a foul stench suddenly came through the air. Following the jumbled sounds, Frank saw several beasts munching on something in front of him.

Several soldiers approached with weapons in hand, and after driving the beasts away, the soldiers found the corpses of Ovan.

"It seems that they were miserable enough when they died, and they were all * like this. I don't know who I've offended!" said Opple, covering his nose.

Frank nodded and motioned for the soldiers to bury the bodies. Keep your eyes on the surrounding traces. "They must have been attacked by some kind of beast. ”

Haight heard his father say this, and began to observe the chaotic environment around him with everyone's eyes. Sure enough, there were obvious claw marks and blood stains on the surrounding tree trunks.

After looking at it for a while, Op shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen the scratches of such a beast." Look at the power should be great. Scratches nearly ten centimeters deep on the tree, it seems that it should be called a beast. ”

Just as everyone was studying what kind of beast had left traces, suddenly a soldier who was cleaning the corpse shouted. Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the soldier's direction.

"What's going on?" asked Brown Knight, walking over to him.

"Gold, this man clutches gold tightly in his hands. The soldier replied. A few more soldiers then found gold on different corpses.

Frank and Op thought it was strange and walked over to the corpses and looked at what the soldiers were talking about gold. These gold coins are ancient gold coins with elaborate animal motifs and strange symbols printed on them, but no one knows when they were coins.

Frank looked at Op and said, "It seems that these people have found some treasure or discovered some secret." What kind of beast can have such powerΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Op nodded and said, "It seems so, what do you think? Do you want to move on? I think those Owan people should be more than lucky." ”

"The more this happens, the more I want to see what it was that killed them. What do you say, old man. Frank said, looking at Op.

Op looked at Frank's eyes that were shining at this time, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I can't find any reason to stop you! Now that you've thought about it, let's get started! Let's go and see what the treasure is." With that, Op picked up the double-edged axe standing on the ground and shouted to the soldiers: "Pick up your weapons, we will go and see if there is really a treasure ahead." If there is gold, everyone will divide it equally!"

Oppe's call had an effect on the team, and everyone cheered as they walked towards the jungle ahead. Although the corpse has given people a certain psychological impact, this impact may only affect a child like Haight. As a battle-hardened warrior, these are nothing at all. Nowadays, most people want to see the spectacle of golden treasures.

Seeing that the adults were rejuvenated, Haight was also excited. He also took out his dagger and joined the people on the march.

As Op strode in front of him, he suddenly felt a vicious wind blowing. A huge grizzly bear sprang out of the bushes next to it and rushed towards the crowd. Everyone hurriedly ducked around, keeping a safe distance from the bear.

Op raised the axe in his hand and motioned for everyone not to move. After taking a closer look at his surroundings, Frank stepped over and said, "This grizzly bear seems to be in its prime! ”

"I'm going to have this guy, what's next?" said Opple, wiping his mouth with his hand.

Frank nodded and said, "Okay, you can solve this, and I'll come next." ”

Op lifted his axe and charged towards the grizzly bear, who apparently had no desire to attack people. It just screamed like crazy, and Op saw the right moment to slam the grizzly bear on the head with his axe, knocking the big creature back a few steps with a single blow. Op then plunged the tip of his axe into the grizzly bear's neck.

A bright red color erupted from the grizzly bear's neck, and it landed on the ground, and after a while, it stopped moving.

Seeing Op defeat the Grizzlies, Haidt cheered along with everyone. It was the first time Haight had ever seen someone able to take out a bear of this size. The whole person boiled over with the battle just now.

Frank walked up to Opp's side, lined him up on his shoulder, and said, "It seems that you are not old!

"Haha, this level of guy is too easy for me. It's just that if you look at its body, it's full of wounds. Op said expressionlessly, pointing to the grizzly bear who had fallen to the ground.

Only then did Frank realize that the seemingly huge grizzly bear was already scarred. Reflecting on the Grizzly Bear's state, Frank understood what Op was trying to say. He shook his head and said, "Let's have a good meal today! ”

After the battle just now, the sky began to get darker. For safety, Frank decided to rest here, and the soldiers began to prepare a campfire and dinner.

Frank sat on a rock, holding the gold coin that had been turned out of the corpse and looked at it repeatedly. Seeing his father's helpless appearance, Haight walked up to him and asked, "Father, what is this?"

"I don't know, I'll show you. I've never seen this pattern either. Frank said as he handed the coin to Haight, and rested against the tree.

Haight took the coin and looked at it, and the round gold coin had a lot of patterns on it. In the middle of the intricate pattern, a dragon-like pattern caught Haight's attention, could these things have anything to do with dragons. A string of ideas kept popping up in Haight's mind.

Frank saw Haight start studying again, and smiled and said, "You like these strange things, you should save this gold coin first." With that, he got up and walked over to Op and said something.

The roar of animals can still be heard from time to time at night in the forest, and the noise makes it impossible to sleep peacefully. Haight took the gold coin and thought back to the time when Op fought the bear. I have another idol to worship, and I start to get sleepy when I think about it.

But just as he was about to enter the dream incense, "There is a ghost!" a soldier suddenly shouted loudly, followed by a terrible scream.

The scream dispelled all the drowsiness away, and the soldiers all took up their arms alertly. Frank led the men to the place where the accident occurred, only to see a soldier lying in a pool of blood.

Brown Knight looked at it and said, "One blow is deadly, the same as the corpses I saw before." The wound is deep. ”

Then there was another scream, followed by a series of screams. "Don't panic, everyone! Grab your weapons and get together. Torches, bring them all. Frank shouted. Soon the camp brightened up and the mood calmed down a little.

Frank hurriedly called for someone to count the injuries. Upon investigation, it became clear that a total of six soldiers had been killed at that moment, including the sentries patrolling outside.

Haidt stood beside his father, Frank, with his sword in hand, watching the adults react and not knowing what to do. The atmosphere around was terrifying, and no one knew what was causing the situation.

Rustling, the sound of the bushes caught Haidt's attention. Haight moved slowly towards the bushes without making a sound, and he raised the knife in his hand to slash to see what it was, when a dark figure suddenly burst out. Haidh didn't have time to react, and while he let out a sigh, he held a knife in both hands to protect his head.

When Haidt opened his eyes again, he found that there was nothing unusual about it. It's just that the sword in his hand turned red, and then look at the blood on the ground. The people next to him heard Haidt's voice and ran over. A separated body lay on the ground.

"What is this?" said Frank, seeing the bodies pieced together. It is a wolf-like creature with sharp claws, gray fur and large eyes that are particularly intimidating, and its sharp teeth show a hideous expression.

Op shook his head and said, "I haven't seen this thing either, and I didn't expect such a ferocious creature to exist in this jungle. It seems that our people were killed by this kind of thing. ”

Seeing that everyone said they had never seen such a beast, Frank knew that the situation was terrible. This kind of animal that can easily kill people may be everywhere here, and it is unknown how many unknown dangers lie ahead.

Frank looked at Op and said, "It's good news that we know what's going on this time." The provincial people thought it was a ghost doing it. ”

"The more dangerous it is, the closer we are to the ultimate secret. Looks like there's a secret we want to know nearby!" Op said, licking his tongue.

As the two men communicated, Haight looked at the strange creature carefully. The hideous appearance did not give him a sense of horror, but felt as if he had seen this familiar appearance somewhere.

At this time, everyone's originally tense emotions became much calmer, after all, the unknown is better than the known. In order to prevent the recurrence of such a beast raid, Frank ordered an increase in the number of torches and made a ring of traps around the perimeter to serve as a warning. All the people were also divided into small groups and took turns to take turns to rest in groups.

When everything was arranged, everyone began to rest. At this time, everyone felt that the jungle had returned to its former calm. It can even be said that you can't hear any sound.
