The Ugush had some troubles, troubles that only gradually emerged after surviving. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Every time he looked at the not too tall but resolute back in front of him, and then looked at the boy Xiaoshun who was being led next to the back, Ugush's thick eyebrows would wrinkle, his cunning eyes would roll, his heart would accelerate, and his face would inevitably reveal a trace of hideousness.
But as soon as that figure turned back, the Ugush would immediately hide the changes just right, and turn him into a serious, somewhat emaciated, somewhat anxious fugitive.
Two days ago, when he was rescued by this young man with a green and yellow axe in the mouth of the sand knife beast, only hope boiled in his heart.
The young man hid his face in a gray hood, and even his exposed mouth and nose were covered by a black mask, and the only moment he could recognize his age was the upper half of his face and his dark eyes when the sandknife beast blew the hood up.
Ugush clearly realized that this was a young man who could bring him to life.
So, when the Sand Knife Beast was cut in half, the Ugush made up his mind that he must follow behind the young man!
After making this request, the eyes hidden in the hood looked at Xiaoshun. The young man squatted down and touched Xiaoshun's head, and then a voice that did not match his age came out of his throat, very hoarse.
"How did you survive?"
Ugush's heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible force in an instant, his eyes stared at Xiao Shun, his throat swallowed twice unconsciously, and two thoughts floated through his mind.
Xiaoshun, are you aware of what you have done?
What kind of character is this strange young man?
"Mama is gone, and my brother has been taken away by wolves...... Uncle Wu rescued me!"
Xiao Shun's voice was a little sobbing, escaping death was really not a reassuring experience for a boy who was only seven years old, but the words he said quickly calmed down Ugush's mood.
Ugush smiled.
It seems that Xiaoshun really doesn't know anything, what a beautiful thing!
Then he looked expectantly at the hooded youth.
“...... What's your name?"
"Small, Xiaoshun. ”
"So, Xiaoshun, you will follow your brother in the future, okay?"
Xiao Shun was still a little scared in his heart, although he knew that the young man in front of him had saved him, but after all, he was still a stranger, and he was inevitably a little hesitant about this proposal, but he couldn't help but look at the Ugush on the side.
Feeling Xiao Shun's gaze, Wu Gushi hurriedly walked over, his face was haggard and grateful, and he grabbed Xiao Shun and said with a little excitement: "Thank you for saving our lives, thank you...... If you can, let Xiaoshun follow you!"
Then, as expected by the Ugush, Xiaoshun immediately said, "Uncle Wu will also go with him!"
The young man looked at the Ugush, stood up, and asked lightly, "Did you break through the soldier-level barrier?"
Ugush was stunned: "Yes, it broke through the day before yesterday!"
"Hmm...... Fighting more and improving strength is the means to survive. ”
After speaking, the young man stretched out his hand towards Xiaoshun, which was very wide and large, and there was a kind of reassuring magic.
Under the superficial encouragement of the Ugush, Xiaoshun took the young man's hand, and then the three of them walked like this, and two days passed.
"Brother, what's your name?"
"Call me, Brother Ding......"
Over the course of two days, the young man seemed to have plenty of experience in surviving in the quicksands, always finding wild beasts and water sources, so that they would never have to worry about their previous life of hunger and thirst.
This life seems to be much easier, but Ugush gradually realizes that even an unwitting child does not seem to mean that he is safe.
Although there was nothing strange in Xiaoshun's eyes, Ugush was deeply afraid, he was afraid that those broken fragments would be pieced together by the youth, and then find something that should not be there.
This fear came to a head at dusk last night.
On the way to find the settlement, they met two other homeless people, ragged and withered, and their eyes suddenly sparkled like beasts when they appeared.
"Is there food, is there water, can you help us?"
The young man paused for a moment, and the Ugush felt that his gaze was not on the two outcasts.
Following his line of sight, behind the two homeless people, there were a few broken bones scattered faintly, the surface was smooth, smooth and too smooth, as if it had been licked thousands of times, and then even the bone marrow in it was squeezed out raw, and finally only fragments like white porcelain were thrown on the ground.
Ugush's face turned a little strange, and the broken bones made him realize something.
"Bones, are there any more?" the young man's voice was a little cold, and he took out a little dry food from the burden behind him: "I'll exchange the food for you...... And water. ”
The two homeless people were stunned, as if they could smell the moist moisture between their noses, and immediately shouted and took out a few bones from their arms: "Yes, yes, yes, all with you!
Their eyes were all on the young man's hands holding food and water, but they didn't notice the coldness in the dark eyes under the hood.
But the Ugush noticed, and he saw the bones clearly.
After a few months of experience, he was able to clearly distinguish the bones taken out by the two homeless people, not animal bones, but human bones!
He could even tell that there were two shin bones, as well as a broken hand bone, and judging by the thickness of the bones, the bone age was probably under fifteen.
The young man was silent, suddenly put the food and water back, and then patted Xiaoshun's head and hugged him: "Good, close your eyes, cover your ears, and open them when I pat you." ”
Xiaoshun obediently did so.
When the two homeless people saw that the food they had been longing for for a long time suddenly disappeared, their withered faces immediately showed a bit of madness: "Food, give us your food......!"
“...... I'll eat you!"
Howling and frantic, they stretched out their claw-like hands and lunged at the youth.
Then, in the midst of two axe strokes, Ugush understood the character of the young man.
He understood that if the previous things were discovered, he would usher in the end!
The young man hugged Xiaoshun, walked away from the place, and walked to a place where the four halves of the corpse could not be seen, and then he patted Xiaoshun's back.
"Brother Ding, what about the two uncles?"
The young man touched Xiaoshun's head: "Those two are not uncles, they are brute beasts." ”
Xiao Shun's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? They look similar to Uncle Wu, but they have to lose a lot of weight." ”
Ugush's pupils shrank, and he laughed awkwardly.
But the young man ignored Ugush's expression, and only replied softly: "They are really brute beasts, brute beasts in human skin, ordinary people can't see them. ”
"So that's the case, Brother Ding is so powerful!"
"It's okay, you'll be able to see it when you grow up. ”
"Great!"
It is this kind of dialogue that makes Ugush's fear of youth climb to the top, and makes Ugush worry about Xiaoshun's existence to the extreme.
To get rid of this annoyance, he had only three options.
Leave.
Let youth disappear.
Or let Xiaoshun disappear.
However, he knew one thing very well, without the protection of the youth, he would not be able to survive in this quicksand land alone, and he was inferior to the young man in front of him in terms of strength and survival experience.
Therefore, the first option and the second option will not work for him now.
So his eyes will always lock on Xiaoshun's body as if he were nothing, with the viciousness that he himself is not aware of, hiding the treacherous under gratitude, waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting......
On the third day after being rescued, the three suns became even more vicious, so hot that they could burn the bare skin, and reflect on the yellow sand, making people feel dizzy.
Xiaoshun was a little sluggish, although with the care of the young man, his diet in the past few days was quite regular, but after all, he had accumulated too much weakness in the previous days, under the poisonous shot of Sanyang, his forehead was slightly hot, sleepiness filled his mind, and he simply curled up in the arms of the young man.
The Ugush followed the young man, and the two walked in a southwesterly direction.
According to what it sounds like, the nearest settlement should be in this direction.
As you walk, the sand becomes less flat, and the number of rocks on the road gradually increases, and from time to time you can see some one-person high boulders or naturally formed stone caves.
This change made the Ugush a little happy, because when he was still in Xinfan Town, he had heard that there was a grotto in the northwest of the town, and there were few traces of brute beasts in it, which was very suitable for resting places. Among the displaced people who fled at that time, it seems that a party fled to the location of the grotto.
Looking at the trend of the huge rocks in front of you, it is very consistent with the characteristics of the outer part of the grotto.
If you can meet other outcasts......
Burst!
The young man's footsteps suddenly stopped, and Ugush couldn't help but be stunned.
"How ......"
"Shut up!
A serious voice came from the hood, and the young man put the blindfolded Xiaoshun on the ground.
Only then did the Ugush realize that there was a feeling of oppression in the air around him, a feeling that he was not unfamiliar with, and in his recollection, he remembered three days ago.
Three days ago, before the second-level brute Sand Knife Beast appeared, there was the same sense of depression in the air.
The young man took out the blue and yellow giant axe from behind him, the half-human-sized axe face had a strong sense of conflict with the young man's body, but it was held firmly by the two big hands, the tip of the axe hung on the ground, and the dark eyes scanned the surroundings with a sharp light.
Swish!
A pillar of sand suddenly stirred up from the ground and rushed towards the young man in front, behind the pillar of sand, two yellow lights and shadows rushed out, but it was an oval body, and the whole body changed, and countless sharp and incomparably thin thorns appeared, one large and one small, and stabbed towards the young man's chest and abdomen.
It turned out to be a brute beast stabbing ball beast, and one was a first-level beast soldier, and the other was a second-level beast soldier!
But seeing that the blue and yellow giant axe was horizontal, a dark light flashed, and the two pillars of sand were all blocked, and the fierce momentum did not even repel the young man's footsteps at all.
Ugush stared at the battle in front of him, this young man looked like he was no more than twenty, but his strength was many times stronger than the ability he had just broken through, and he could always learn some experience in one move.
The sand pillar disappeared, the edge of the giant axe turned, and the strength of the young man's wrists surged, and the axe slashed straight towards the two thornball beasts, as if even the heavens and the earth could be split.
But before the axe could be cut off, the young man suddenly roared: "Protect Xiaoshun, there are other thorn ball beasts!"
Ugush was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look, a yellow shadow suddenly popped out behind Xiao Shun, and it was indeed a first-level thorn ball beast.
Just one level, then......
The Ugush was about to rush out when he suddenly paused.
Why do you want to block it?
Isn't that the best chance yet?
As long as you move a little slower and look a little sad......
His footsteps seemed to have been stumbled by an invisible stone, and the Ugush stumbled, and his speed suddenly slowed down a lot.
In the frightened gaze of Xiao Shun when he turned his head, the Thorn Ball Beast was already close at hand, only half a meter away, and it was about to penetrate his thin body and take his life.
Burst!
The gray shadow flashed, and the eyes of the Ugush were round, and the young man who was still resisting the other two thorn ball beasts before, but at this moment, he flashed behind Xiao Shun, stretched out his left hand, and directly blocked the rushing thorn ball beast with his palm.
The palm was dripping with blood, but Ugush felt a cold gaze from his hood at him.
This guy!
