Chapter 77: Trial of Death, Day 2: Beasts in the Lake
The sky was already dark, and the irregular chirping of insects spread through the warm air, and they could be described as noisy, but who cared?
In the forest, Saza walked forward and backward among all kinds of unknown plants. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info had learned the lesson of the previous battle that caused too much movement and attracted the nearby hordes of demonic beasts, and now he even walks lightly.
Even though the neighborhood was shady due to the vegetation, he was still a little anxious. It's the next day, but Monchi hasn't been found yet, and I don't know if he'll come to this oasis.
Although he didn't find Monchi, he had already seen other students in the oasis, and he should have found Monchi here.
As he pondered, Saza plucked the Woko lizard fruit at his fingertips, the fruit with abundant nutrients for growth, hanging from the branches of the fruit tree like a fat lizard hanging upside down.
Along the way, he only collects this fruit, and he only needs to peel off the thick skin and enjoy it. Not only does it quench your thirst, but it also fills your stomach, and most importantly, the dark liquid in its small pit is perfect for signposting.
I have to say, the resources here are so abundant that Saza has forgotten that he is in the wasteland. When he first arrived in this oasis, he was in a rather bad state, but because he could easily find supplies, he quickly adjusted.
Even if he couldn't find Monchi for a while, he still had a lot of work to do, and the scene he witnessed when he first entered the oasis made him realize that at least the struggling knight was definitely the threat he wanted to eliminate for Monchi. So after recovering in form, the first thing he did was follow the direction that the half-dead knight had left.
Of course, one of the episodes, staged by a warthirsty warrior and his fellow thieves, interrupts his tracking. Of course, in the end, because of the approach of a group of demonic beasts, this episode had to come to an end. So, as the warrior fled, he had no choice but to turn back again and continue his pursuit of the knight.
At this time, he noticed a Huck fruit tree not far away. The low Huck fruit trees didn't pay much attention, and it was not hard to see them all the way, but what caught Saza's attention was the rudely broken branches of the fruit trees.
There are no herbivorous beasts here, otherwise the fruits here would not be everywhere, so only people will pick the hack fruit on the tree.
Saza stepped forward to take a closer look at the small tree, and found blood stains on the broken branches. It must have been the knight! The poison on the hunter's arrow wasn't enough to kill this hard-nosed fellow.
"I hope he can make it a while longer!" Saza muttered to himself, perhaps able to get some information out of his mouth about the trials after he caught him, such as whether everyone had been gathered in the Oasis. He now regretted that he had not stopped for a while, and that a wind blade had killed the thief directly.
Following the traces on the ground, all the way forward, you can see that the traces of trampling on the weeds are getting more and more messy, 'I guess it's almost the limit.' Saza thought, and couldn't help but quicken his pace, if he found a dead body in the end, it would be another day of no help for him.
Finally, when he reached the end of the forest, Saza saw him, and he was on the edge of the lake in the oasis. That guy was probably frightened by the approaching death, and he was actually lying on the edge of the lake to clean his wounds at the moment!
First of all, it didn't help his poisoning situation at all, and it might push him into the arms of death more quickly. Anyone who still has some sanity can think of this the moment they see this vast lake, and who knows if there will be something in that lake that will be attracted by the smell of blood.
However, this foolish creature can't die yet, and to be on the safe side, Saza first concluded a wind blade.
Just as he was about to walk out of the woods, a swift figure had already taken a step ahead of him to the lake, and dragged the knight back from the lake.
In the late night, Saza could still clearly see the clothes worn by the man who had just appeared, the smock of the Acanthus Combat School, and the striking yellow hair.
'Luckily, I met a savior. Seeing the knight being pulled back to shore, Saza couldn't help but think so.
But in the next second, he began to laugh at his stupidity.

Sam's face, which had been a standard face, was now distorted by extreme fear, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept sliding down, making him look like he was crying. Indeed, by this time, it was time for him to cry too.
"Yo, Your Excellency Flowerknight, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the ground like this? It's so ungraceful, it's going to disappoint those girls!" the yellow-haired boy crouched down and gently dragged his dagger across the other's face, leaving a series of tiny wounds.
Then after the graffiti, the young man sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, my dagger is a little disobedient, but I think these scars should not affect your Yushu Linfeng image." After all, the real charm should be here!" said him, and the dagger plunged into the crotch of the knight sitting on the ground, and it was nailed into the earth, and then provoked a long howl.
The yellow-haired boy also opened his mouth wide, imitating the other man's movements, and tilted his head slightly, as if the howl came from his mouth. After a few seconds, he slapped the knight in the face: "Shut up! Knight, what are you shouting?
"Llorry, let me go! Please! I've been poisoned, I won't live long! Please, please. He showed the blackened, rotting wound to the other, and the rain of sweat sparkled Sam's scattered hair on his face, and through those strands of hair, he looked at each other with those wet eyes, begging. At this moment, he would never want to admit that he was a knight.
Lowry's white fingers held the dagger and ripped the hair that covered the knight's face so that he could see the other man's funny appearance, "So what? There have been many people begging you like this in the past, right?" He had a big smile on his face, not as frightened as the frightened knight in front of him, and that sunny smile was enough to make everyone who saw it share the warmth.
But at the moment, it can only make people feel a biting chill, especially for Sam who is sitting on the ground. He forcibly held back the sadness in his heart, indeed, after the other party's words reminded him, many such faces instantly appeared in his mind, those were the faces that had pleaded with him, of course, most of them were girls, and they pleaded with him for one reason or another.
Of course, in the end, he repaid them for their cruelty. I didn't expect that now, I ended up like this. At that moment, an urge of repentance came over him, and he could no longer control his tears, and he couldn't help but choke.
Suddenly, Lori's right hand moved, and the dagger attached to the knight's face moved with it. In an instant, the red was rendered on Sam's cloth blouse, blood gushing from the wound on his face, and the long nose that had been cut off lay coldly on the ground.
"It's time to shout!" Lori said with a smile on her face, then waiting expectantly for her reaction.
And Sam didn't let him down, and he was very satisfied with the hoarse screams.
The pain squeezed out what little strength the knight had left, and he reflexively rushed towards the lake. The yellow-haired boy just watched him quietly, watching him shout, jumping into the water without thinking, and then swimming madly towards the island in the center of the lake.
The blood quickly spread in the water, and by this moment, it was already dark.
Sam in the lake roared and swam frantically forward, as if the water of the lake could wash away the bad luck that had been infected. Without realizing it, he had come to the end.
From beginning to end, the knight's voice did not stop, and the sound of splashing became louder and louder, of course, the knight alone could not make such a movement in the lake, more from the four-legged fish in the water tearing at the food.
Until the knight's voice died away, and everything seemed to be calm again.
A large mouth of blood burst out of the water, a huge mouth at least three meters wide, and it swallowed the knight's corpse and the small fish fighting for food, but it seemed to satisfy its appetite, and its sticky limbs stepped onto the shore.
Of course, before that, Lori had left the land of right and wrong in time. However, this did not affect the decision of the alien beast to go ashore.
And although Saza was stunned by what he saw, at this moment, what he had to do more was to keep up with the yellow-haired boy who left contentedly.
As a result, he didn't find those dense demonic beasts that climbed ashore from the lake.
