Chapter 145: The Threesome
One day, the lid of the log cage was opened, but it was not yet time to throw food and water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Mai raised his head, and with the help of the faint moonlight, he saw Rikas's face appear above his head. "Hey, Mike, I've got you some food. ”
Three pieces of bread were thrown down, and before they were about to fall to the filthy ground, Zhao Mai grabbed them with his psychic ability. "Thank you, Ricas, for the half-giants guarding here?"
He didn't dare to say more. Rikas smiled slightly, among slaves, a hard fist can solve most problems. "He can't let you out, though, and I don't think that's a good idea. With three days to go until Tyre, you'll often run into Templars and slave hunter patrols along the way, so you won't stand a chance. ”
"yes, I see. Zhao Mai hesitated for a moment and said to Ricas: "If you have a way, can you bring the things in my backpack." ”
"Backpack stuff? I'll try it. Rikas said, "Mike, you'd better not run away, because if you do, the half-giants will give us out." Even if I kill him early, a lot of people will still be executed, you know?"
"I understand your concern, Ctesian is going to get involved, right? I'm always leaving, but not now. Also, thank you for the cookies. "Zhao Mai has already made a plan, and he doesn't want to escape at this time. Only when he got to Tyre first did he have a chance. So Zhao Mai waved his hand at Ricas, motioned for him to leave, and then picked up a piece of dry cake and chewed it slowly.
This kind of calm action made the Moors very admirable. He closed the lid and swung his fist at the one-armed half-giant, letting out a burst of threat before slipping away. In the distance, a sandstorm was coming towards the convoy, so even Tessian had to stop the entire convoy and prepare for defense. Whatever you want to do, you have to take advantage of the sandstorm.
The first to sense a sandstorm were the shell beetles, which stopped early and tried to burrow underground. Under the control of the reins, the beetles could not do this, so they could only curl up together, lying on the ground dead and unwilling to move. The desert battle lizard then began to get nervous, its nostrils opening and closing, sniffing the sand in the wind. Tessian uses psychic powers to strengthen his senses and eventually determines that a sandstorm is about to happen.
When the sandstorm really hits, the black sand connects the heavens and the earth, covering the sky and the sun, and overwhelming the mountains and seas. The ferocious wind churned the walls of sand, violently rubbing to create a red electric glow. Enraged, the High Templar reprimanded the slaves, telling them to speed up and stabilize the wagons and cargo as much as possible. "If something is lost, pray that yourselves will be swallowed up by the sandstorm with it, or death will never come, and pain will torment you forever!"
Rikas took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy and found the car where Zhao Mai's things were stored. Valuable and interesting things were taken away from Tessian, such as steel weapons and megalodon spears. The rest of the mess was put together with other supplies. Seeing the opportunity, Rikas jumped into the carriage, picked up Zhao Mai's backpack, and threw it under the carriage.
A strong wind blew, and the whistling sound drowned out his movements. Sand is constantly crawling on the surface of their feet, and if they stand still, it will soon cover their ankles. As the sandstorm approached, it became increasingly difficult to open your eyes. So Rikas hooked the strap of his backpack with his foot, pretended to tie something with a rope in his hand, and then slowly walked towards the prisoner car where Zhao Mai was being held, which was not very conspicuous.
However, he was an important asset to Tessian, so a Templar official found him and kept shouting, but Rikas turned a deaf ear. It was only when the cold whip was placed on Ricas's shoulder that he had to "hear" the official's words: "What are you doing here, go back to the car, tie yourself up, and don't let the wind blow away." ”
He couldn't trust the slave in the same car as him to hide the secret for him, so if he walked back now, Mike's backpack wouldn't be able to take it back, only to stay outside, and in that case, there would be nothing left after the sandstorm had passed. Thinking about Butcher's words, "Only Mike can really give you freedom", this sentence was so categorical that the Moors decided to believe it. So Rikas smiled at the officer, pretended to agree, and nodded, signaling that he would go back with him.
The officer lifted the towel upward, trying to hold out the growing sand. As soon as he turned around, Rikas suddenly reached out and covered his mouth. The power he had inherited from the dwarven father exploded in an instant, and Rikas grabbed the man's head and slammed into the truck next to him. The muffled sound of "bang" was instantly blown away by the wind, and the official fell softly.
An unexpected fall can explain all this, after all, the wind and sand are getting bigger and the visibility is getting lower and lower, and everyone has a time when their feet slip. Rikas pressed his fingers against the officer's throat and twisted hard to make sure his throat was broken. Even if the slam didn't kill him, this one would be enough.
Looking around, the two slaves had their backs in this direction, but it was not to say that they did not see the previous scene. Rikas can't do it perfectly, so he can only take this necessary risk, hoping that the two slaves will not snitch. He looked at the corpse on the ground again, adjusted his posture, and continued his movements. Taking advantage of the roar of the sandstorm, he climbed into the prisoner cart, threw his backpack down, and hurried towards his car.
He eventually crawled back to the slave cart, where he could no longer see anything. The hurricane blew, his belt loosened, and his loose clothes were like sails, trying to wrap him up and drag him deep into the desert. Just then, a large hand grabbed him by the shoulders and dragged him into the shelter of the van. "Tie the rope on. "Only weight can fight sandstorms," Butcher said. ”
The slaves trembled, their eyes full of fear of sandstorms. If there was a problem with the truck, either the Templars would find a slave to risk their lives to work, or they would kill someone afterwards to vent their anger. They didn't have the heart to observe Ricas. Rikas' hands were shaking, after all, it was the first time he had killed a Templar, someone who wasn't a slave. After the initial tension had passed, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart, and no amount of victory in a gladiatorial fight could compare to this feeling.
Kill the gladiator on the opposite side and be the last man standing in the arena, and the whole audience will cheer him on, and the sight will make his blood run high. Although no audience cheered him on now, his inner sense of release was far greater than that of the championship moment. It was a revolt, a revolt against the Templar officials. He looked down at his palm, took the feeling in mind, and clenched his fists heavily.
The sandstorm continued, and Zhao Mai finally got his backpack back. When I opened it, the flower pot was broken, and Xiaohua clutched a small lump of soil with her own root system, hiding in the corner of her backpack and dying. Zhao Mai took it out, put it in the pocket of the reserve grain leather armor, and then poured the water he had saved.
Xiaohua raised her head slightly, and let out a weak but happy cry. Zhao Mai was not in a hurry, crushed the dry biscuits, and slowly stuffed his pockets with the soil he had pulled out of his backpack, the sand and other dirt on the ground.
"It's good that you're still alive, and the food reserves will protect you. Did you know that it can actually teleport. Zhao Mai used the natural force to condition Xiaohua's body, and saw that her condition was getting better and better. The leaves have recovered from curling, but the color is still a little gray, not as green as before.
There were only fragments of the original flower pot left in the bag, and two of them were sharper and could be used as daggers when necessary. The rest, whether it be ropes, canvas, or flint iron, was searched clean. Xiaohua is hiding in the dirt, which may be the only possibility that she has not been captured.
More dirt and more sand were carried by the storm and poured down overhead. Rikas brought in the backpack, but forgot to close the top cover. The sand quickly covered the filth on the ground, and slowly surpassed the height at which Zhao Mai was sitting. He kept shooting the sand and kept improving his position.
It won't be long before he can get out of this prison while sitting, but he doesn't want to get out at this time. The fugitives are bound to be killed, but the captives still have a chance. All the stories are concentrated in Tyre City, where Zhao Mai can take advantage of his strength and truly get out of the predicament. He hugged the reserve grain, held the little flowers, and snuggled up to each other in the wind, and he wanted to tell them well about his plans.
