Chapter 6: He Really Needs Help
Zeqi looked at the boy's place, and sure enough, there were many thorny vines like the boy's feet. www.biquge.info Seeing this, Zeqi was afraid for a while. If he had rushed to save him at the beginning and accidentally touched those thorny vines, then I am afraid that he and Selene would have been entangled in these thorny vines.
Selene saw this too, and she quickly hid behind Zeqi.
The boy said, "It's a pity that my firewood knife also fell off in a panic. ”
"Why didn't you tell us in the first place?" said Zedki, exasperated.
The boy said helplessly with a bitter face: "Because I am afraid that after you know that it is the demon plant thorn vine that trapped me, you will no longer help me, just like those who passed by just now." ”
"But it doesn't matter. The boy immediately added, "As long as you can cut it off with one sword, you'll be fine." As for the other thorns, as long as you don't touch them, they won't take the initiative to pester you. They are plants and have no active consciousness. ”
"It's getting late, Zechi, let's go. As soon as Selene saw the dense thorny vines, she was terrified.
Zeqi didn't leave, but said to the boy, "Okay, I believe you this time." ”
He felt that the boy was not lying, so he raised his knife again and walked towards the boy.
Selene jumped up: "Are you really going to help him? what if you keep slashing, if he is still deceiving us, if you are also entangled in thorny vines?"
When the boy heard Selene's words, he showed a sad expression and pleaded, "Please, I really have nothing to deceive you anymore." ”
"Hmph!" cried Selene, "then we don't care, who let you trick us in the first place." ”
Zeqi said: "Although I am not very sure that he must not have deceived us again, but with my guess here, I feel that others should help when they need help." And now he really needs help. ”
"Well, I can't tell you. Selene pouted, tilting her face to the side.
"Trust me. Zeqi said with a smile.
"Okay. Selene nodded.
Zeqi walked towards the boy, and the boy's eyes lit up again.
He walked to the boy's feet, looked at the nearby thorny vines and saw that there was still a meter or two away, and then squatted down in peace. He first made a few slashing gestures, and then raised his wood knife high.
"Smack. With a heavy blow, the thorn vine broke, the severed part still wrapped around the boy's legs, but there was no threat, and the unbroken part quickly retracted back into its taproot area.
The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Zeqi and the boy quickly untied the vine segment wrapped around their legs, and the vine segment at this time was not much different from the usual tree vine, and the two of them easily untied it.
However, to their surprise, a thorny vine had crept towards them.
The first to spot the thorn vines approaching was Selene. She jumped to her feet and shouted:
"Be careful!"
However, it was too late. The thorny vines quickly wrapped around Zeqi's legs, and Zeqi fell to the ground and struggled desperately unconsciously. However, the thorny vines became tighter and tighter as he struggled, and kept shrinking towards the main trunk.
"Don't move!" cried the boy as he stepped back, already suffering from it.
Zeqi heard the boy's scolding, endured the pain, and stopped struggling. The thorny vines gradually slowed down their tightening, and after a while they stopped.
Fortunately, the firewood knife was still in Zeqi's hand and did not fall off, Zeqi gasped and kept calming down his nervous mood.
"Use your wood knife in your hand!, as you did just now!, cut the thorny vines with one sword!" the boy shouted beside him.
Selene stopped doing it and shouted to the boy, "He's all entangled in thorns and vines, how can he cut it himself?
"I, I ......" The boy did not step forward, but stepped back. He had already suffered from thorns and vines, and at this time timidity and fear had long occupied his heart, and where could he dare to step forward.
"What a coward!" Selene was annoyed, glared at the timid boy who didn't know how to repay the favor, and stepped forward to help, but she stopped after taking two steps. Seeing that there were still many thorny vines nearby, she was frightened at the thought that they might come around at any moment.
"Don't come here, all of you!" Zeqi said after lying on the ground, his breathing slowly stabilized, "Hey, didn't you just say that as long as this thorny vine doesn't touch it, it won't take the initiative to haunt people?
The boy touched his head, "It's impossible, if you don't touch it, you won't be entangled at all." ”
Obviously, he was also confused.
"Nothing is possible, isn't it already possible. It's all your fault!" cried Selene. She's on fire right now.
After a short while, Zeqi's nervous mood slowly calmed down. He sat up slowly, raised his knife and swung it at the thorny vines at his feet.
At that moment, however, the thorn vine moved again, and it retracted towards the dense area with Zeqi, and at great speed.
"Ah......h
All three of them screamed.
Zeqi was pulled by the thorn vines on his feet, and he encountered several thorny vines along the way, and after these thorny vines were touched, they entangled his body, feet, hands and other places. His whole body was stretched in severe pain, and it was not until his body was stretched that he could not move, and the thorny vines gradually stopped.
"No way! No way! I've never seen it, the thorny vines seem to move on their own as if they were conscious, and they know where they are. The boy panicked and felt guilty, but ran away crying.
"Hey, don't go!" cried Selene, but the boy didn't listen to her, and after a while he ran away.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Selene cried and complained, "you have to help him, now it's okay, people have run away, and you're stuck here." What should I do now? What should I do? Woo woo ......."
Selene was already at a loss, and she was also aggrieved in her heart, crying and screaming.
"Selene," Zeqi said, enduring the pain, "I guess no one can save me in my current state." I think the teachers will come and rescue me in three days. Go to the top of the hill and join my brother, and don't tell him about me being trapped by thorny vines, or he will come back, and neither he nor I will pass the exam." ”
Selene shook her head, "He didn't see you at the agreed place, he must be worried about you and come back to you." ”
Zeqi twitched and said with difficulty, "Selene, my good friend. Listen to me, my brother has become a different person since his father died, fighting with himself every day, often hurting himself. His greatest wish when he was very young was to become a fighter like his father, and I hope that he can fulfill this wish, hoping that passing the exam to become a fighter will allow him to return to his former self. So don't tell him anyway. ”
Selene shook her head desperately, "Then what are you going to do? What are you going to do? The exam will be over in three days. Woohoo......"
"As long as my brother can pass the exam, I'm happy. And I was still able to go back to the farm, to my mother, to plant apple trees and pick apples with my mother, and I was very satisfied. Zeqi said happily through the pain.
"Woo......" Selene cried incessantly, "Then your brother asked me where you went, what should I say?"
Zeqi smiled reluctantly, "You tell him I've gotten ahead and tell him I'll wait for him at the end of the exam." ”
"Will he believe it? I don't even believe it. ”
"You just said that you don't know why, and you don't know until you ask me at the end. ”
"Well, well. ”
"Well, you go, be careful all the way!"
Selene stood up, "Well, you should be careful, too. When I got to the top of the second mountain, I would ask the teacher there for help. ”
