010: Omen
The scene before him, even for Andrei, felt a little creepy - corpses everywhere, torn and scattered, internal organs spilled all over the ground, and the culprit of all this, staring at Eve, little by little, was a giant wolf, and desperately, there was a group of giant wolves behind it.

André carefully drew an arrow, hesitated, and put it back, if only one had fallen, but he couldn't handle the hordes of predators anyway.
The giant wolf was getting closer and closer to Eve, and the giant wolves behind it were staring at the uninvited guest with unkind eyes. "Hey, good girl, calm down, listen to me. André called softly to Eve, who looked already scared. "Don't turn your head to look at me, stare at it, look him in the eye, and slowly back away. André instructed Eve that at least the brutes were fed up and that they would not be hunted.
Eve did as André said, and she slowly stepped back, staring at the giant wolf in front of her with terrified eyes.
Seeing Eve retreating, the giant wolf also stopped his approaching steps, and only let out some low roars of deterrence, for them who had just finished hunting, as long as they did not come to disturb them, they did not have the extra strength to do anything other than grabbing food.
André slowly approached Eve, then reached out and grabbed Eve as he retreated to his side, then slowly retreated until the wolves were no longer visible.
"Whew, it's been a long time, I've never even seen a lone giant wolf before. Andrei said lightly, wanting to comfort the frightened Eve.
Eve just kept her head down and didn't say a word. It looks like I'm really scared.
Andre couldn't help but let out a chuckle, after all, he was just a child, and it was normal to be afraid. They quickly made peace with Andrew, who had also peeled off his skin. Andre picks up the bearskin on the ground and throws it at Anderson. "Put on your head, it's time for us to go. ”
Anderson reluctantly put on the bearskin, which still smelled of viscera because it had not been treated, but there was no other choice.
"Andrew, don't want the rest, there are wolves around here, leave it to them, see if you can find a stream or something, wash the smell of blood off this skin, I don't want to be a live target." André then instructed that in the depths of Woodlin, where day and night were no longer so clear, Anderson looked up at the sky, which was almost completely obscured by the canopy. "We need to pick up the pace. André silently thought that he was about to enter the depths of Woodlin, and that he would soon be able to complete the task given by Lord Rorschach, and after that, good days were coming.
"Anderson, protect our young lady, there is no time to rub in, according to Lord Rorschach's instructions, we are very close to our destination. André asked Anderson to pick up Eve, who was about to fall into a deep sleep, and moved on.
I don't know how long it took, but the surrounding scenery changed dramatically, and gradually, it all changed into some plants and insects that they had never seen before.
"Andrew, be careful, these are poisonous things. André swatted a bug that tried to climb onto Andrew's arm, alerting him to the potential dangers.
It was so dark that André had to light the torch that had been used for camping, and by the light of the fire, he noticed that the vegetation around him was getting denser and denser, and he could no longer tell where he was going.
"Maybe we're the first to be here. Andre slashed through the vines in front of him with a sword, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
But what they failed to notice was that a faint layer of mist had unconsciously appeared around them, gradually enveloping them under the cover of night.
"This is it, but I can find a flat place. André pointed to the small open space on the ground and said, they were going to spend the night here tonight.
"I felt very tired, very tired. Andrei unconsciously gasped softly, he felt strange, usually he didn't feel tired because of this amount of exercise. He found a tree trunk and sat down against it.
"Anderson, hurry up and pack up here, I'm a little tired. Andrei opened his mouth and said, his tone a little groggy, as if he was drunk.
But this time, in response, there was a deathly silence.
"Anderson?" called out Andre again, barely opening his eyes that were about to close, and looking around with great effort, only to find that there was no one.
"Anderson, where are you?" he called again, but still no one answered him.
"Damn it, Andrew, Andrew!" he called out to Andrew a few more times, but still no one answered.
Feeling a strong sense of unease, Andre stood up and walked a few steps with a few steps.
"Hell, where are you?" he drew his dagger and leaned against the trunk of a tree as he looked around for his brothers.
Just after he had been searching for a while, suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of him, and he followed the light, but what he saw was Eve.
"Hey, little ghost, what about Anderson and Andrew, have you seen them?" Andre felt more and more uneasy, and Eve turned his back to her, but he felt that the little girl who had been fooling around with them for a few days had become strange.
Eve seemed to hear his voice, and slowly turned her head, and André found that her face had lost its usual cheerfulness and small arrogance, and had been replaced by an indescribable sadness, which he could not say, but which was about to make his heart pop out of his chest.
"Hey, good girl, what's going on?" Andre suppressed his thoughts and forced himself to walk towards Eve.
Eve, on the other hand, just looked at him with sad eyes, slowly retreated, and finally turned around and ran away.
"Hey! Stop. Andre hurried to chase after him, but because he was not in good shape, he couldn't catch up with Eve.
"Hell!" Andre was in a worse state after the intense exercise, and he struggled to move his steps, but Eve's figure was long gone.
Just as Andrei was about to give up, he faintly heard some movement, as if someone was poking something with a knife.
Andre followed the sound through a bush, but it was Andrew who was poking at something frantically with the dagger in his hand.
"Hey, Andrew, what are you doing?" Andre asked, rubbing his eyes.
Andrew's face had a crazy expression that he had never felt before, and his eyes were red, as if he had been possessed by a demon, and Andre couldn't help but feel a shiver.
"What's wrong with you, Andrew. Don't scare me, brother. Andrei was so frightened that he didn't even dare to go any further.
"Hey, hey, hey, we're going to be developed. Andrew didn't turn his head, and kept concentrating on poking something frantically with the dagger. "No one can stop us, hehehehehe. As he spoke, his hands moving faster and faster.
"No one can stop it, no one can stop it! not even you! Andre!" he turned his head sharply, the look in his eyes that Andre had never seen before, and he felt palpitations. "Even he can't!hahahaha!" Andrew pointed to the man lying on the ground, and Andre saw it clearly - it was Anderson! Andrew walked over to him, the dagger in his hand was still stained with blood, and he leaned over step by step, but Andre didn't move.
"Ah!!" Andre woke up suddenly, and found that everything just now was just a dream, he quickly looked around, Andrew fell asleep peacefully, and Anderson also hugged Eve and slept soundly.
Andrei breathed a sigh of relief, why did he dream like this? He scratched his head, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish. "In any case, there is no way back for us. Andre cheered himself up, and as he had lost all his sleep, he drew his short sword and sharpened it softly.
The next day, Eve was the first to wake up, and when she woke up, she still seemed depressed, but to Andre's surprise, Eve looked at her directly, and could faintly see tears rolling in her eyes.
"Hey, little ghost, what's wrong with you?" Andre couldn't help but think of the strange dream last night, Eve had tears on her face, sobbed a few times, and then said to him, "Let's not go any further, okay? Uncle Andrei." ”
When Andre heard this, he just smiled faintly, he walked up to Eve, slowly squatted down, and touched Eve's head. "Hey, my good girl, don't be afraid, we'll be fine, Uncle Andrei is here. André knew in his heart that there was no way back, this was his only and last chance, and no matter what, there was no reason for him to give up here.
Eve blinked her teary eyes, and a few tears slid down her cheeks. "You're going to die, Uncle Andrei, let's go back. ”
"Hey, you little ghost, do you want me dead so much. Andrei pretended to be angry. "Die, I'm not going to die here. Andrei's tone was full of confidence, in order to comfort Eve, but also to comfort himself.
"Really?" Eve wiped away her tears, she didn't know what had happened to her suddenly, it was just an urge that surged her to do it, or rather, a bad premonition that drove her to do so. "I saw it, I saw something terrible, Uncle Andrei, you can't beat it. ”
Andrei patted Eve's head lightly, then stood up. "You've become a great prophet, huh?" "Whatever that is, little ghost, it's only going to be a stepping stone for me." André didn't think much more, he put away his weapons, called the two who were still asleep, and prepared to go further into Woodring.
Eve looked at Andrei's back, as if he was stepping towards hell, Eve calmed down, wiped her tears, and chased after him quickly.
At this time, on the other side of Woodlin, Rum was watching thoughtfully at the burning bonfire on the ground.
"Well, it seems that we are not alone. Rum picked up a handful of embers and rubbed them on his hands, revealing that they were still fresh, probably burning just a few days ago.
"It's supposed to be just some treasure hunters, my lord. The sergeant standing next to him speculated that he could not think of anything else.
"It doesn't matter, whoever he is, it doesn't bother us. Rum smiled devilishly as he looked at the soldiers who were seizing the opportunity to rest on the spot.
"We've been on the march for a few days? Rum asked the sergeant beside him.
"It's been two days, my lord, and tonight it's two days and two nights. Thinking of this, the sergeant couldn't help but respect the Lord Earl who didn't look strong in front of him, after such a long and rapid march, his veteran soldiers couldn't stand it, but Lord Count seemed to be very energetic.
"Two days, very good. Rum then asked. "How far do you think we've gone into Woodlin, and how far before we can get through it and see Fort Repalet?"
The sergeant thought for a moment, then said, "If we go in the right direction, we will probably be able to cross Woodlyn in another day." The sergeant paused, then continued. "However, I think it won't go so well, my lord, even though we're still on the edge, the beasts are still far outnumbered by other regions, and it will be difficult for us to get through here safely without adequate preparation. ”
Rum looked at the sterant with a serious face and smiled softly. "Take it easy, my good soldier, I didn't say I was going to keep going. As soon as he finished speaking, Rum loudly announced that he would camp in place and prepare to spend the night. The soldiers couldn't help but burst into cheers, and the morale that had been somewhat low actually rose a lot.
The sergeant's cheeks were slightly hot, and his own careful thoughts were easily debunked, which made him a little embarrassed.
Rum smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then said, "If this raid goes well, you'll all have to be surnamed Vevel." Then he left the sergeant, who had not yet reacted, picked up a piece of dry food, sat on the ground and nibbled on it.
The sergeant, who had just reacted to the meaning of Rum's words, was suddenly in high spirits, and he took a few big steps, kicked the lazy soldiers, and urged them to hurry up.
Rum nibbled on the dry food in his hand while looking at the busy soldiers, but he felt that something was wrong. "It seems a little too quiet. Rum thought to himself, and there was almost no sound around him, except for the occasional chirping of insects, not even the sound of birds.
"I wish I had been overly distracted. Rum laughed at himself, but became more alert. His left hand moved to the hilt of his sword, carefully observing the movement around him, and he had a feeling that something was about to appear.
"Monsieur Rum, watch your back!" Before Rum could react, a soldier rushed in front of him, raised his shield with one hand, and pulled Rum away with the other.
Only a muffled sound was heard, and something was knocked back. Rum steadied himself and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw what had struck him—it was nothing more than a pack of wild dogs.
