Chapter 45: I'm sorry, but I've only been able to play with you so far
The addition of the aristocratic youth added a little more fun to the adventurers, who took pleasure in laughing at him, and the fool always blew some childish and ridiculous cowhides.
For example:
"My servant, he is actually a powerful great magician, but he never shows his strength easily. ”
"I have two very ferocious pets that have rushed into the depths of the Misty Mountains to feed, and they can't find them, or you will be startled by their appearance. ”
Moreover, the aristocratic young man seemed to be obsessed with Gwen and circled around her like a fly, much to Gwen's annoyance.
Thankfully, he hasn't gotten into any major trouble.
This wasn't the first night the group spent in the Misty Mountains, as experienced adventurers found a clearing and lit a campfire to start boiling water and baking dry food.
"Brother, can we find that thing?" Gwen looked at the burning campfire, a little knotted on her brow.
Matthew spread out the map in his hand, "If the merchant didn't lie to us, we could find the Dark Forest by crossing this mountain range... It is said that the elves are a friendly race, and as long as we have no ill will, they may be able to meet our demands."
Matthew suddenly frowned, glanced at the two figures not far away, and said, "Now I'm most worried about that idiot Merlin, I'm afraid that he will mess everything up.."
Gwen had a helpless expression on his face and comforted, "Merlin just needs to be reminded, just like today, he's doing well."
Matthew looked at his sister with a strange expression on his face: "You shouldn't have fallen in love with that little white face who can only brag..."
"Brother.." Gwen blushed and spat out, "I just don't think he's bad-hearted... That's all. ”
"Okay. Matthew put away the map, looked around, and said, "Rest early, don't sleep too hard.. Although we have not encountered any danger along the map so far, I have always felt a little uneasy."
"Got it. Gwen nodded obediently, and honestly it was her first time out on an adventure.
Matthew arranged for two companions to keep vigil, extinguished the bonfire, and found a big tree to lean on, and before going to bed, he specially warned the noble young master and servant: sleep honestly, don't make any trouble with the moths coming out.
The two nodded obediently.
Matthew was woken up by a shrill scream.
"What happened?" he subconsciously grabbed the long sword in his hand and jumped up quickly.
Everyone quickly woke up, and then saw the aristocratic youth shouting in the distance.
"Shut up, you damn idiot!" Matthew rushed up and covered the aristocratic young man's mouth, and said viciously, "Are you planning to lure the beast?"
The aristocratic young man's eyes were full of horror, and he pointed to the front and said, "Death... Dead man.."
Matthew followed his finger and saw two figures on the ground in front of him, none other than his companions on the night watch.
Matthew's heart suddenly burst out, and he stepped forward to open the corpse, and suddenly, countless dense black ants jumped out.
The two people below have been bitten into a blur of flesh and blood, revealing Sensen's white bones.
Everyone was so frightened that they retreated, and the appearance of their dead companion was so miserable that Gwen, whose little face was pale, couldn't help but vomit.
Matthew pinched an ant, and the tiny thing struggled between his fingers, biting fiercely at his skin, causing a tingling sensation.
"Damn, what kind of ant is this?!"
It took a little effort for Matthew to pinch the black ant to death, and he turned his head to one of his companions.
The man also shook his head in horror: "I don't know, there has never been such a thing in the Misty Mountains.."
"What about you, why are you here?" Matthew's gaze fell on the aristocratic youth.
The aristocratic young man hurriedly defended: "I came out to explain, they were already dead at that time... I swear!"
Matthew took a deep breath, everyone was looking at him, he was the backbone of the team, his face regained its composure, and ordered, "Let's get out of here immediately." ”
The death of the two companions made the team more cautious, except for the two noble masters and servants who were heartless, the rest of them were careful to pay attention to the wind and grass around them, but the accident still happened.
The team walked through a thick bush, and everything was peaceful, when suddenly a thick, thorny vine burst out of the bush, and the python dragged the two members into it, and then made a tooth-aching chewing sound.
The team was in chaos in an instant, splitting through the bushes, and everyone saw countless wide leaves full of fangs, and the disappeared companions were in the middle of the leaves, letting out a miserable scream.
The two of them were as if they were being slowly sent into a meat grinder, flesh and blood splattered out, and the scene was extremely bloody.
"Go, go, get out of here!" exclaimed Matthew.
Everyone fled for a long time before stopping, and Matthew's face turned pale: "What is that?cannibal flower?bloodthirsty vine?.. Damn profiteers, they even told me this was the safest route!"
In a short period of time, one-third of the members were drastically reduced, and the entire team was overshadowed, and everyone was uneasy, especially Matthew, who didn't know if he still had to go down the established route.
That night, Matthew arranged for a vigil of four people, including himself, and fortunately, there were no accidents.
The next day, Matthew placed the nobleman and servant at the front of the line, and he didn't want his partner to have another accident, and he wanted to die, and he also died an insignificant fool first.
Gwen wanted to say something, but seeing Matthew's gloomy face, she finally didn't speak.
However, the nightmare has only just begun.
Over the next three days, people in the group died accidentally.
They are besieged by wolves, a group of gray wolves with red eyes that cannot be killed, and their heads fall to the ground and bite people.
Matthew had never seen such a beast before, and it should be called a monster, and they escaped by luck after leaving three corpses behind.
They passed by an ordinary puddle, only to find a strange woman with light blue skin and a hideous face emerging from the water.
The two companions were dragged into the water, and only blood gushed up.
Isn't that a legendary monster? They ran into it?! And how could a cannibal live in a small puddle?!
And then there are the two-headed lizards, the human-faced spiders...
All kinds of outrageous and ferocious monsters burst out from the next second, but only took one or two lives at a time, making them step on desperate and escape.
The group became smaller and smaller, and the last companion couldn't take it anymore and turned and fled, only to be screamed not long after he got into the woods, and he didn't know what he had died.
Matthew is going crazy.
He is worse than the most unlucky adventurer, and there are countless legends in the Misty Mountains, but most of them are just made up when people drink and brag about it in the name of false rumors.
Except for a few dangerous places where there are magical beasts, most areas are no different from ordinary forests, as long as you watch out for wild beasts.
But why did he seem to have embarked on a "legendary road", countless monsters that only exist in horror legends jumped out one after another, cannibales, human-faced spiders... What's next, Dragon?
Matthew felt as if a big hand was playing with them, watching them be swallowed up by despair, and he still let out a gloomy laugh in the dark.
By the way, there is another thing that makes him very unhappy,
It's the pair of noble masters and servants, they really have stepped on shit luck, they are the weakest of all of them, and they are also the least experienced, but they can pass by danger every time.
Those monsters seem to be unable to see them, and they have to pick someone who stands far away to kill, are these two fools the illegitimate children of Lady Luck?
To hell, the god of bad luck is pretty much the same!
Matthew, who was close to collapse, poured all his anger on the aristocratic youth, his eyes were bloodshot and his beard was scumbag, he grabbed the aristocratic young man's collar and yelled: "It's all because of you, you damn fool, who brought us bad luck... I'm going to kill you.."
"You're not kidding, Matthew.." The aristocratic young man seemed to be frightened stupidly, and his face turned pale.
Matthew gasped for breath and slowly raised the long sword in his hand, he was already going crazy after being shrouded in death and despair again and again.
"Brother!" Gwen quickly ran over and grabbed Matthew's arm, and shouted at him, "Calm down, it's all an accident, and it has nothing to do with Merlin."
Matthew slowly regained his composure under Gwen's persuasion, the blood in his eyes faded, and just as he was about to let go of the aristocratic youth, a strange smile appeared on the aristocratic youth's face.
"Nope. He smiled and shook his head, "It's not an accident, it's just a game." ”
Matthew and Gwen were stunned suddenly, and then looked at the aristocratic young man and slowly raised his head, "Listen.."
At some point, the surrounding environment fell into an eerie silence, and the sounds of insects and birds disappeared, except for a very heavy wheezing sound.
The wind brought up, making the leaves rustle and smell fishy.
Matthew and Gwen slowly raised their heads, and then their pupils contracted instantly, which was a sign of extreme fear.
Above their heads, there were two huge hideous heads, fangs and sharp horns, one covered with black scales, the other was only white bones, and there were dark green flames beating in the hollow eye sockets.
"I'm sorry. The aristocratic young man had an apologetic expression on his face, "My pet is here, and I can only play here with you." ”
Carlo hugged Gwen, kissed her on the lips, and smiled, "Dear Gwen, I hope I'll see you next time, you nasty brother won't be there."
"Good luck to you."
Carlo and Merlin landed lightly on the dragon, and the two terrifying legendary creatures flapped their wings and set off a huge storm in the air.
Only two sluggish figures were left in place.
