Chapter 53: Plotting
At the same time, the three-ring leeches were still falling from the trees at that location, and the rustling of the surrounding vegetation rubbed, and it was obvious that this terrible blood-sucking worm was still gathering from the depths of the dense forest.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, they didn't know where it was safe to be around, they could only carefully gather around the campfire, but everyone knew that this was not a long-term solution.
The cat orc has the most developed night vision, and she holds a simple torch and points in a direction in the darkness of the dense forest.
Her voice was low, but everyone could hear it.
"Run!"
Like an athlete hearing the starting pistol, Ruby the Cat and Orc ran at the front, and the others rushed out after him, no one wanted to be sucked into a dry corpse by this horde of terrible three-ring leeches.
In this group of fugitives, everyone burst out with all their speeds, shuttling through the dark jungle to flee for their lives.
Seriously wounded, Kom was left behind, and no one cared about him in this dangerous situation, and he staggered and ran not far before he tripped over a branch, and his body quickly climbed up several three-ring leeches.
Soon there was a scream from behind the people, it was the familiar voice of the tax collector, but the few people who ran for their lives did not even dare to turn their heads, and it was impossible for anyone to save him this time.
Perhaps due to absolute attributes or physical development, Loki was slightly slower than the other three, and fell behind the back of several people, and he didn't dare to relax a step and followed closely behind.
The sound of running wildly in the trees, the sound of running, the sound of violent wheezing and the sound of rubbing against the vegetation could not be muffled.
It began to rain above this sea of trees, and a large black shadow of a slap kept falling, which was the black shadow of the three-ring leech worm.
Loki was at the end of the fleeing team, and most of the three-ring leeches landed in his running position, but fortunately, his vision optimization system played a huge role, not only allowing him to clearly spot danger at night, but also paying attention to multiple dangers in his field of vision at the same time, and taking the fastest way to avoid escape.
Under the desperate run, the physical strength is naturally depleted rapidly, and Loki quickly surpassed the people in front of him in the dense forest escape by relying on his thin and short body.
Loki's speed did not decrease, first surpassing Aina, who was wheezing violently, his body was agile, or leaning over or jumping and sprinting, and soon surpassed the agility of not less than his half-elf headwind.
Suddenly, there was a pain in his shoulder, like a punch, and Loki couldn't control his balance during the fast run, and was knocked to the ground.
"Fool, damn it...... Littlefinger ......"
After rolling around on the ground a few times, there was intermittent scolding from the half-elf against the wind.
"Damn, I'm not going to let you go. ”
Loki gritted his teeth fiercely, he obviously knew that he was plotted by the so-called kind, but he didn't have time to think about it.
The green field of vision was full of three-ring leeches, and he quickly flipped his body to avoid the blood-sucking worms falling from the sky, regardless of the pain of his body falling apart.
"Hurry up. Run. ”
Aina panted as she passed by the half-elf boy as she spoke, reaching out to try to pull him up.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell, and it was a three-ring leech that landed on Aina's arm, and she couldn't help but scream in horror when she saw the terrible worm sucking her blood up close.
Loki's reaction was beyond the ordinary, and he grabbed the sleeve of Aina's coat that was about to retract her arm, and took advantage of the situation to stand up, while his right hand pulled out the tactical claw knife from the scabbard in the blink of an eye.
In less than a few seconds, the three-ring leech was actually swelled up a little larger than just now, obviously sucking a lot of Aina's blood.
Without waiting for her to react, Loki clung to the skin of his arm with his sharp tactical claw, cutting off the three-ring leech that was feasting, and stepped on it into a bloody foam with one lift.
Aina looked frightened, but she didn't feel the slightest pain, but fortunately she also reacted, and in a hurry, the half-elf boy grabbed her sleeve and quickly followed him into the darkness to escape for her life.
The three-ring leech would follow the sound, and it was obviously not a good choice to run with the people in front of him, so Loki wisely changed direction and fled towards the most rare place for other worms.
I don't know how long it was, the breath was like a bellows, and the two of them were already in the stage of physical exhaustion.
But the good news is that there are fewer crawling insects on the ground around them, and the shadows of the vampire worms above the trees are fading away, and they are also deliberately reducing their own noises.
After a quick look around, Loki finally breathed a sigh of relief and reassured Aina, who was also panicking, that at least there was no trace of the bloodsucking worm here.
The torch had already been thrown away, but fortunately, the half-elf boy was not afraid of the darkness, and Aina quickly found a place to rest with him, and regained her strength a little.
Little by little, the night faded, and the glimmer of dawn gradually shone through the dense trees.
This night, the two of them leaned together, alert to danger, and at the same time regained their strength, and they were in no mood to speak.
In the morning, Loki checked Aina's arm, and the place where it was sucked by the three-ring leech before turned out to be a little dented, not only the bloody night, but also the fat and water seemed to be sucked away, and even a little dehydrated muscle under the skin could be seen.
Aina's arm injury looked a little scary on the surface, but fortunately it didn't affect her movements, and the two of them collected a little dew on some low vegetation, moistened their mouths a little and returned to the road.
There are many routes out of the Forest of Secret Words, but there is only one safer route, and the best option at the moment is the northwest direction, which is the direction from which Ruby the Cat Orc and the Half-Elf Downwind fled at the time.
Walking in the green sea, the dense vegetation makes the road difficult, but fortunately there are no leeches in the three rings here, and occasionally some birds and beasts appear, but they are much safer than yesterday.
Relying on the powerful recording and computing power of the quantum biocomputer, Loki did not have to worry about getting lost, although the terrain of the dense forest was extremely complicated, he tried to catch up with the cats and orcs with the shortest route.
Loki soon noticed a messy trail of trampled rows of weeds and bushes, as well as broken branches next to it.
The 'basic tracking technique' that he had forcibly memorized before quickly came in handy, judging by the direction of the vegetation overwhelming, combined with a few other clues, it was clearly a trace of the two humanoids passing in a hurry, which should be the direction in which Ruby and them left.
While following the clues to find it, and at the same time picking some practical fruits on the way, Aina's injury was not affected much, and she was completely cured after eating a little food.
Loki only used the fruit as a water supplement, but he found some edible insects along the way, stuffed them directly into his mouth after a little processing, and ate them non-stop as he went.
The road that was leaked out by the people in front of him was much less dangerous, and the two Loki were not slow, and just after the morning, he caught up with the two in front.
Ruby's hearing was sharp, and she turned around with a twitch of her ears to spot the half-elf boy coming from behind.
"Loki, Aina?"
The cat orc looked at the two of them and said, "Are you all right?"
Headwind was a little panicked, and he suddenly snatched the open-way sword from Ruby's hand, and shouted at the half-elf boy with a fierce look.
"You, you're still alive, Littlefinger, don't come here. ”
