Chapter 82: The Trial of Death, Day Three: The Way Home
In the evening, Monchi sat quietly in a prominent position on the edge of the lake, his eyes filled with the dim yellow water, and his frozen expression made him seem to be completely immersed in the picture, like the stones around him. The last moment of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info finally came, but it didn't seem to be as happy as I imagined.
"Monchi. A voice woke him up from behind.
"Mentor. He looked back, and it was his mentor. Yes, I actually came to the end, and I don't know if it's worth being happy with such an ending now.
Marken took out a leather map and a compass, spread out the map, and lightly made a small cut on it with his dagger: "Your current location is here." It's time to go. That's all he had to say, and with that, he was ready to leave.
Monchi stopped him. "Mentor, Lori...... He couldn't go back. "It's stupid to do that, after all, Lori is Marken's nephew, and the blood on his hands doesn't seem to have been completely washed away by the lake. But he felt compelled to tell his mentor who treated him equally.
"Yes. Got it. Marken's answer was surprisingly indifferent, as if he had expected it, and at least, he accepted the result. At least that's what it says on his face, the man who died is like a person who has nothing to do with him.
There were no more strands, and the figure of Marken had disappeared between the dense forests.
It didn't take long for another person to come out of the bushes, "got the map?" he asked, sweeping the fallen leaves from his black hair, apparently having been there for quite some time.
"Got it. ”
"Then let's go, there shouldn't be anything to miss here, right?" said Saza, at least he was in a hurry to get home now. Although the message to Sean and Lola made it clear that they might be away for four or five days this time, they must have gone crazy. And the school, I don't know if there will be any serious consequences.
He walked over and took the map from Monchi's hand, and according to the indication on the map, the oasis was a shallow part of the wasteland, and it would not take much time to get out of the wasteland. So he patted the guy next to him, "It's time to go." ”
Nodding, Monchi followed.
"Thank you, Brother Saza, if it weren't for your presence, I would probably die here. Words could not express all his gratitude, but he said it anyway, after all, he knew how much risk he had to take to cross the moors to this oasis.
"Hmm. Looking at the map, Saza also accepted this gratitude with peace of mind, indeed, this trip to the wasteland, he suffered a lot. "Tell me how you came to participate in such a terrible trial this time. I thought you'd die somewhere before I found you. Looks like you've been suffering a lot these days. "There's still a long way to go, and he stirred up the topic.
So Monchi talked about the day of registration and the experience of the past few days, but for the most painful part, he still chose to avoid talking about it. In the midst of small talk, the road does not feel so long.
When it was completely dark, they also happened to reach the edge of the oasis.
"It's a crazy decision, but I just think that if I don't make some changes, I might as well die. Monchi said, and that's what he thought when he went to trial.
"yes, you've really changed a lot. Saza could see this from the opponent's decisive battle against the enemy, "This is really a journey of transformation for you." ”
Although he didn't say anything, Meng Qi knew in his heart that it was not so much about transformation as it was about regaining himself, all of which just allowed him to find his former self little by little.
"Let's go! I believe that after you go back this time, your new life will also come!" Saza affirmed, a blessed smile on his face.
'Is it really possible?' In Saza's words, Monchi also had a hint of hope for the better, and he couldn't help but think of a beautiful face, is her name Fanny......
"Hmm. He responded with a heartfelt smile from Saza. It's been a long time since I've laughed like this. He wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the other party:
"Shh
Saza raised his index finger and asked after a while, "Did you see those monsters that suddenly crawled out of the lake last night?"
"See, they almost killed me. Monchi said.
"Who isn't, go faster!" the magician asked, retracting his previous relaxed smile, urging as he urged, "and did you see how they disappeared?"
Meng Qi could only shake his head at this: "I fell asleep in the tree. He quickened his pace with the other man, and suddenly he had a very bad premonition.
Hearing this, Saza suddenly felt a nameless fire suddenly rise in his heart, "Good," he looked back at himself, he had been on the ground all night last night, but this was not what he was going to say. "The monsters of the lake hunted all the creatures on the shore for the whole night. Until dawn, they suddenly disappeared. ”
"Where did they go?" said this, Meng Qi also remembered that indeed, after waking up, the demonic beasts had indeed disappeared without a trace.
"At first, I couldn't understand how such a huge number of demonic beasts could disappear out of thin air. Now I guess where they went. As the two walked briskly, Saza pointed to a well tree they passed, "I think you can feel it." ”
Being reminded of this, Meng Qi remembered the crisis trembling that he had stopped performing in order to reduce consumption. He started again, and only then did he realize the situation around him in astonishment.
As Saza said, that tree, no, should be something abnormal about every tree. They were all alive, but he could feel a sense of crisis coming from within them and beneath their rhizomes.
Those demonic beasts hid in the trees and in the soil! This crazy answer made him feel his scalp tingle for a while, and it turned out that he had been surrounded by them all along.
"These guys are expected to go dormant during the day, and now ......" The two looked up and saw that it was already moonlight. But fortunately, they are already on the edge of the oasis at this moment, and judging by the speed at which these demonic beasts wake up, they have enough time to escape from the oasis.
That's why Saza just told Monchi to pick up his pace, not run. Of course, this is also because he himself has been running all night, and he doesn't want to repeat the same night at the moment.
Finally, before reuniting with those terrible starving monsters, they walked out of the oasis.
"I thought it was going to start again. Saza said with trepidation, some of the monsters that crawled out of the lake were recorded in the Book of Beasts, but they were all notorious. Almost every one of them has a description of not knowing how to be satisfied.
But he saw that the expression of Meng Qi beside him was not very natural, because he was very close, he could see the other party's slightly trembling body. He asked uneasily, "What's wrong?"
But Meng Qi just raised his hand and pointed to the vast wasteland in front of him: "There, underground, it's all ......"
