Chapter 54: Intra-Ethnic Disputes
Ruby the cat orc was a little confused, and said, "What's the matter with you? You, put down my sword." ”
Loki's gray eyes stared indifferently at the half-elf headwind.
Then, he slowly inserted the dogleg knife used to open the way back into the scabbard, and slowly opened his palms to show that he did not threaten.
Loki smiled slightly and said, "I think this half-elf of mine understands why he's afraid, right?"
"Shut up, damn little finger. The headwind voice shouted in a panic.
Loki's voice sounded faintly, "Headwind, are you sure you're afraid of me, a half-elf fellow who is only a teenager?"
Aina looked at the half-elf boy's open palm, but there were only four fingers on her left hand, and she knew what had happened in the back last night.
She said with her hatred, "I saw with my own eyes that you were plotting against your companions, and I will help Loki teach you a lesson." ”
Loki suddenly laughed, and he stopped Aina and said, "This is an internal dispute between a half-elf and a half-elf, don't meddle." ”
"Besides, I said - against the wind, I won't let you go. ”
The cat orcs also hesitated, not knowing how to stop them, and at this moment, the half-elf holding the guard sword suddenly rushed against the wind.
Contrary to the wind, he waved his long sword, and shouted with a twisted face: "Die, little finger, I have seen that you lowly little bastard is not pleasing to the eye, and always put on a shelf, aren't you also a slave?"
Loki's hands were suddenly lowered, his right arm shook quickly, and a tactical straight knife slid out of his cuff silently.
Without waiting for others to see clearly, Loki grabbed the hilt of the knife with his fingers, waved his arm sharply, and threw the tactical straight knife forward.
The half-elf Headwind is just an ordinary slave, except for agility, his physical attributes are slightly inferior to ordinary humans, and he is obviously not the opponent of Loki the Littlefinger.
The straight knife flew by in a flash, and the headwind had no combat experience, and before he had time to dodge, he was plunged into the chest by the straight knife, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest, and he had to stop.
The lungs were seriously injured, it was a serious injury, and the headwind seemed to have lost its strength, and the guard sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he quickly fell straight to his knees.
The half-elf looked at the dagger on his chest with a trembling headwind, trying to pull it out, but he couldn't even raise his hand.
Loki didn't pick up the sword on the ground, he stepped forward empty-handed and patted the half-elf on the shoulder.
"They are all half-elves, but you look down on this identity and have low self-esteem?"
"It's okay to be inferior to your identity, and besides, you chose to plot against me!"
The fatally wounded headwind was foaming with blood, his lungs were pierced, and he could hardly speak, but he looked feebly at the half-elf fellow who stood tall up in fear and disgust.
A burst of blood shot out, and it turned out to be a tactical straight knife that the half-elf boy suddenly pulled out of the wound against the wind.
Loki said leisurely: "You chose to plot, so, this is an internal dispute between the half-elves. ”
"To be fair, I give you back death. ”
As soon as the words fell, Loki held the tactical straight knife that was still dripping blood, and stabbed him several times in the heart of the chest on the other side.
The tactical straight knife was pulled out, and the headwind, whose heart was pierced, was obviously hopeless.
With a cry of pain, the half-elf Windward soon died, and Loki had a calm look on his face,
He acted like he was fine, then wiped the blood from the blade with the corpse's clothes, pushed the corpse away, and tucked the straight knife back into his sleeve.
Ruby's round eyes widened, and Aina looked stunned, as if they couldn't believe that the bloody scene in front of them was actually done by an underage half-elf boy.
Loki shrugged his shoulders and said, "The internal dispute between the half-elves has been resolved, headwind, he shouldn't provoke a fellow who holds such a grudge." ”
He clapped his hands and reminded him, "What are you waiting for, before the fog clears up before noon, it's time for us to move on." ”
Originally, there were only three of the eight people left in the jungle, and the reason for the huge casualties was not only the unimaginable mortal danger in the Secret Whisper Forest, but also the contradiction between the fleeing team.
Loki wasn't a murderer, and he didn't have to put the wind to death, but in this kind of dangerous jungle, it was really a death act to have someone who had assassinated him and was untrustworthy by his side.
For the sake of his own life, the half-elf boy had to clear potential dangers.
......
The forest is densely frenetized, and the three of them can only take turns to open the way, and Loki contributes the Dogleg Knife this time, which is a forged steel weapon made for him by Daddy Hammer, which is sharp and durable, and it is best used to chop branches and thorns.
The physical strength was rapidly depleted, and just after noon, the three of them were tired and had to rest, and it was not an easy task to walk in the hot and humid jungle, thanks to Loki's constant correction of the route.
If you want to leave this dangerous jungle, you have to go northwest or north, but you also need to avoid dangerous areas such as Rongkui and Sanhuan leeches, so you have to carefully detour, which makes the three people who are already walking slowly have to stop and rest often.
By the afternoon, the miasma of the dense forest had dissipated, the sultry heat had slowed down, the terrain in the dense forest had been slightly flattened, and the relative speed of travel had increased.
But soon the atmosphere became tense again, and it turned out that the trio had found some strange footprints, which were traces of the soles of large boots.
"The branches were cut by the blades of metal, and there were footprints on the ground, which were large, and there was more than one person. ”
Loki gently rubbed the severance of a twig as he looked around and analyzed.
"There should be a camp around here, it may be some adventurers, there are not many of them, it looks like some dead trees and firewood have been cut nearby, and the camp should not be far away. ”
Ruby, the cat orc, flashed with vigilance in his eyes and said, "It doesn't have to be adventurers, it could be those damned slave trappers or poachers, specializing in doing things that are spurned by people, may the beast god Naru punish them." ”
Aina, who was also a miserable slave, apparently agrees with Ruby, hating not only those associated with slave traders, but also wary of the outside world.
Loki nodded and said, "It's really risky, but we're short of water and food right now, so we don't need to be exposed to the public and look for an opportunity to steal some supplies." ”
Speaking of wariness of the outside world, Loki, who has been a beggar in this world for more than ten years, is also an abandoned half-elf, and he is no weaker than two slave companions.
It's just that he understands that the Forest of Secret Words is in danger, but water and food are relatively scarce, and if he doesn't want to get sick in the next time, he will have to replenish some food.
The three of them discussed quietly, and finally left Aina to stay where they were, while Loki and Ruby the cat and orc followed the trail, trying to find an opportunity to get close and steal some food or something.
Try to avoid the sound made when walking, the two of them walked in the direction of the weeds overpowering, and after walking for a while, they soon heard a different sound in front of them.
Ruby gestured to the half-elf boy, and the two began to approach cautiously.
The figure that had not yet seen a trace suddenly heard a beastly howl, the sound of a wolf beast that Loki had seen before, and it was letting out a vigilant cry.
