Chapter 144: Secrets
The others, at this time, also found their own places to avoid the attacks of these unknown creatures.
On the barrier in front of Roland's eyes, there are more and more flying species attached. The cracks that appeared on the light screen also began to get bigger and bigger, and soon they would be unable to support it.
Roland drew his sword and clung to his chest, intending to stab it out the moment the light screen broke!
Unexpectedly, a huge pillar of light suddenly passed diagonally through the forest, and then a huge ball of light crossed in front of his eyes!
The creatures were immediately attracted by the light, and they all left the jungle near Roland and began to run after the ball of light!
The creatures that surrounded the crowd gradually dispersed.
The staff in Guanglu's hand was still shining with a little residual light, and it seemed that the ball of light just now was sent by him, which just attracted the attention of those unknown creatures and relieved everyone.
Roland observed the situation around him slightly, and after making sure that there was no danger, he came to the ground again, and Xiuya jumped from the tree at once.
"What now?" Xiu asked.
"This place should not be stayed for long, those creatures will probably come back later, we must get out quickly! It's safe to get out! Although Roland comforted everyone so much, he knew very well in his heart that they didn't even know where they were now, so how easy was it to get out of here?
Xiu looked up at the sky unhurriedly at this time, as if he was discerning the direction.
Then, Xiu suddenly pointed to the west with joy and said, "There! You can't go far to the Forest of Merlin! ”
Although everyone didn't know what the basis for Xiu to say this, they felt a little overjoyed when they saw that he looked full of confidence and felt that there was no reason to doubt him. So everyone hurried up and hurried in the direction that Xiu said.
The road was not easy to walk, although it seemed that it was not far according to Xiu, but in fact, it took two or three hours to reach the Forest of Merlin.
Finally, after coming to a relatively safe place, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it was obviously unrealistic to want to rush back to Double Moon City at night. Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted by now.
Ellis suddenly couldn't stand and fell to the ground in an instant.
"What's going on?" Rand looked back at Ellis, and suddenly his pupils dilated, "What is this?" ”
Everyone looked at the place pointed by Rant, and found that on Ellis's waist, a bowl-sized flying seed was fiercely adsorbed on it and bitten, the tentacle barbs had penetrated deep into the skin, the wound was shocking, very terrible, and the blood penetrated the clothes inside the armor, a piece of red!
"When did this bite?" Roland asked.
Ellis's face turned pale, without a trace of blood: "Just ...... He was bitten when he was attacked. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier? How long have you come? Rand was a little anxious, and his tone became less gentle than usual.
In the face of Rand's reproach, Ellis did not speak, but sweat the size of a soybean oozed from his forehead, and he didn't know if it was because she didn't want to answer, or because she couldn't speak because of the pain.
"Get this thing down! Otherwise, you will have to lose too much blood in a while. Guanglu carefully removed Ellis's armor and carefully observed the bug.
"How?" Roland asked.
Guanglu shook his head: "This insect is too deep to bite, and I am afraid that the skin and flesh on her back will not be completely restored, so I can only kill it first." So saying, he took Roland's sword and stabbed it at the bug.
As a result, there was a "snap", the insect did not die, but the sword was broken. Ellis's face turned pale. It can be seen that although Ellis didn't say anything, the moment just now made the worm bite tighter than before.
Rand gently touched the back of the bug, and his face became a little unpleasant. He said, "Although this insect looks smooth and greasy, it has a hard carapace on the outside, which is harder than steel. It is estimated that it will be difficult to chop it to death, so I can only think about whether I can use other methods. ”
Guanglu tried to draw a magic circle on the insect's body again, but the insect's body was too slippery, and this method did not work. But if he used the staff directly, Guanglu didn't have the confidence to be able to cast a spell at such a close distance without hurting Ellis. All of a sudden, everyone was out of ideas. You can only look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.
After a while, Roland said, "Let me try." ”
As he spoke, Roland gently put his hand on the back of the insect, the slippery liquid on the insect's back was somewhat corrosive and very uncomfortable to touch. Xiu asked a little worriedly, "Roland, are you okay?" ”
Roland glanced at him, "It's okay." ”
Then Roland took a deep breath and slowly released the mana onto the insect's body, causing it to glow throughout. Guanglu was a little stunned: "What kind of spell is this?" Why haven't I seen this before? ”
Gradually, the light attached to the surface of the insect slowly spread, and finally completely covered the entire body of the insect. When Roland felt that it was no longer moving, he pinched it gently, and the insects instantly turned into spots of light, and then scattered in all directions.
"Xiu, dress her well." Roland said, only to feel that his brain is a little dizzy now. And the eroded skin on Roland's back began to become a little anxious again, perhaps because he had just worked too hard.
------------------------
It was late at night.
Several of them fell asleep.
If the journey goes well, it is estimated that everyone will be able to return to Double Moon City by the evening of the next day.
But at this time, Roland was not sleepy at all, and his mind was still thinking about what happened during the day.
To be honest, Roland's current mood is really a bit difficult to describe in words.
So much had happened that day, that Roland didn't even have time to think about what was going on in front of them.
Everyone's favorite little prince is missing, his life and death are unknown, and now there should be chaos in Double Moon City, right?
And what happened to the giant beast that appeared today, which was originally sealed?
Also, Why would Ellis want to kill himself?
Why did I suddenly lose control today......
There were still too many questions that were plaguing Roland's thoughts, and it was impossible for him to think about it or not.
Thinking of this, Roland's heart couldn't help but become a little restless again, intertwined with his already extremely complicated mood, making him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
And when he thought about what he would face after returning to Double Moon City, Roland felt even more tired.
Regardless, Roland's stabbing of the prince was a real thing. Even if Rand himself didn't mind, Roland had to give an explanation for his actions and to all those who loved the prince in the Land of the Moon.
But Roland couldn't explain why he did what he did at the time. After all, it is really difficult to be convincing because of the influence of the environment and the impact on the mind. Why is it that only Roland is in the same environment when something like that happens? All of this obviously doesn't make sense, huh?
Roland didn't know why his consciousness was uncontrollable at that time, and he wasn't sure if something similar would happen to him in the future.
Now, Roland felt that everything seemed to have begun to develop in a direction that he could not predict and control, and it was difficult to predict what the future would become.
The order that Roland had always believed in seemed to have begun to crumble.
But Roland was not afraid.
From the moment Roland first entered the palace seven years ago, he was actually ready to leave Rand at any time.
And Roland has never liked the prosperity of the capital.
If there is a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle, wouldn't it be a relief for Roland?
But what about Catherine's spell on Roland? What about Rand?
If Rand encounters an unfortunate day, Roland's soul will also fall into hell with it, and he will not be alone.
Thinking of this, Roland's heart, which had been slightly calm, began to become irritable again.
He sat up and paced to a nearby stream, washing his face to calm himself.
