Definitely, the front must be Coron them!

Jack hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, around the corner in front of him, a Missilean soldier holding a torch caught Jack's eye.

The crowd seemed to be talking about something. Coren was very happy when he saw that it was Jack coming, and hurriedly grabbed Jack's shoulders, and said with a light in his eyes, "You really haven't had an accident!" However, he stretched out his head to look behind Jack, but he didn't see Turks and Luthor. Coren's face instantly turned pale: "What about Tex!?Why are you alone!?What about your clothes?"

"Oh. Don't worry, they've already gone back to Tex with a slight injury. My clothes are broken. ”

Coren breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, it's okay, it's okay, life is the most important thing." In fact, he was worried about Tex's injury.

It was a cave not too far from the waterfall, so the water was so deep that the waterfall was separated from the place where Jack was standing only five or six rows of towering hills shaped like grain piles, with water rushing down from the upper reaches of the mountains. Due north, a large stone wall stood in the way, and when they reached this point, they stopped their advance.

The light of a dozen torches illuminated this otherwise gloomy place. Jack found that the terrain of these four places, the four directions of southeast, north, and west, are all in the shape of a "hui", except that the south side of the place where he came is a high cloister, the west side is a wall, the north side is a wall, and the east side is the direction leading to the waterfall, that is to say, this is a dead end, only the place where you just came is a road, or you can go up with the help of tools.

"Hey, by the way, have you been here?" asked Coren suddenly.

"Well, we haven't been here. Jack felt strange.

"That's ......," Coren pointed to where the crowd was gathering.

Jack walked over and pushed through the crowd to see a pair of navy blue cowhide boots lying in the water, with long legs that didn't look like the faux leather boots that Missians often wear. The buckles of the boots are made of metal and are exquisitely crafted to give them a unique shine. Don't even think about it, this is definitely not the pair of cloth boots that I was glued to by the giant salamander.

He lifted the wet shoes from the water and looked at them closely.

"Aren't these shoes yours? I see your feet are wrapped in cloth. ”

Jack shook his head, pointed to the soles of his cowhide boots and said, "Look. ”

Coren leaned in and saw that the soles of his boots were full of "barbs".

"The sole of this shoe is metal spikes. Jack recalls that he had such shoes in his mind. The long tube is to prevent mosquito bites on the mountain, and the metal nails on the sole of the shoe are convenient for mountaineering. The Garland people often carry these shoes when they go to sea, and in order to be able to climb the slippery mountain that has been eroded by rain all year round when they are on a desert island, they build a signal tower on the mountain to call for help.

"This is a kind of hiking boot, we call it a grand boot there, it is a shoe specially used for mountaineering, with these shoes, and with some mountaineering tools, even the sky-high mountain can be easily climbed. Jack explained.

However, Luther's leather boots were also artificial leather, and Tex, not to mention it, in order to facilitate the trekking, he also specially wore a pair of straw sandals. So, where did these boots come from?

Jack couldn't help but fall into confusion.

Remembering that yesterday when they passed above the valley floor, the giant salamander fell from a great height and was subsequently killed by an unknown creature, indicating that something powerful must be lurking in this valley floor. However, how could anyone venture into such a dangerous place, and besides, if these shoes were really falling, or even the leather boots were so bright as if they had just been taken off, who could break through the heavy defenses of the soldiers, cross the steep mountains, and enter this treacherous canyon?

Thinking of this, Jack couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Jack's expression was wrong, Coren hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Even Jack himself didn't dare to believe such a fact, but what he saw in front of him had to make him believe that this canyon was inhabited by people, and this man was quite familiar with the terrain and topography!

"I think someone threw these shoes here on purpose. ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers quickly drew their swords and scattered, back-to-back vigilantly looking around.

In fact, Jack had already discovered that something was wrong, why there were so many places with similar environments in this deep underground, one door after another, cave after cave, and even some places without roads, which would suddenly appear a regular passage, which in itself was very strange. It stands to reason that this canyon should have never been set foot in, and all the places will be relatively primitive and irregular, but the square passage they went out at the end looked like an artificially polished exit.

"Don't panic, that person has no ill will towards us. If he wanted to hurt anyone, he would have acted when the three of us came before. ”

At this time, at the bottom of the valley, the sound of waterfalls is endless, since there is no road ahead, and Coren has determined the safety of the three of them, it is the best choice to go home.

Jack took the boots and followed Koren back the way he came.

On the castle tower of the canyon, the soldiers of the Holy Ape Kingdom were patrolling back and forth, and when they saw that Coren and they had returned safely, they all waved happily and greeted each other. Coren was all about Tex, he just wanted to see how Tex's injuries were doing, and he didn't notice the friendliness of the soldiers, so Jack shrewdly greeted them in Coren's place.

"Turks!" As soon as he heard about his son's tent, Coren rushed over as soon as he landed, and almost tripped over the mud puddle.

He lifted the tent and saw that the medic was concocting herbs for him, Luthor sitting at the edge of the table, and Turks sleeping peacefully on his bed.

"Your face...... ......Although the military doctor said that the prince was fine, Coren was still very distressed about the way his son was now, and gently stroked his hand and face, extremely heartbroken.

"Coren, the military doctor also said, Tex is fine, don't worry, he'll be fine after a few days of recuperation. By the way, we made a big discovery from our trip. ”

Coren hid the tears that were about to fall, and motioned for Jack to go a little farther away.

The two walked to the clearing, and Jack whispered to Coren, "We found the water beast Hetiga on the other side of the swamp. The total number may be three to five hundred. ”

"Hetiga? really!? great!" Coren was still more concerned about the survival of the country in front of the children, and when Jack told him about it, he was so excited that he clapped his hands again and again.

"The world is saved!"

"But...... Cologne, I would like to ask a question. ”

"Ask!"

Jack hesitated and asked, "So, even if we find Hetiga, or we will find more populations in the future, but ...... Who will control these beasts and make them obey the commands of humans?"

This is indeed a serious problem, Jack has had such an idea since he discovered Hetiga, no, he has never been in this canyon, but he is not familiar with everyone, so it is not convenient to ask. But think about it, if there are people in this continent who can control the beast herd, then why do you want to drive them to this canyon to hide, just send someone to direct them to counterattack the bleak land, and save a lot of trouble.

As he spoke, Luthor approached from a distance.

"You've come just in time, Jack has a question for you. Coren beckoned Luthor to come over.

Luther changed into a clean suit, put the clean shirt he had brought to Jack on his hand, put it on Jack and asked, "What's wrong?" Jack repeated the question.

How could he have imagined that Luther's answer was only one word: "You." ”

At this point, Jack completely collapsed: "Don't be kidding, I said that it was I who saved the world, and now I say that I am the one who commands the herd, which is too fake." ”

"But facts are facts. I also told you about "The Book of Gifts". It says that you, with a sword, will lead the orc forces to lead the people of this world out of the dire world. Luthor affirmed.

"Co-author, you already knew what was going to happen, so you had already arranged everything, just waiting for the person mentioned in the Book of Gifts of the Gods to appear, what if the person referred to in the book was one of you?" Jack still couldn't believe what Luthor said.

"Don't say it's anyone else, the person who is destined is undoubtedly you. Luthor said with certainty.

The scene was instantly awkward, and Jack didn't know why Luthor was asserting so unjustifiably that he was the one who saved the world. But he is clearly an ordinary person, let alone the sword, let's just say what he knows, except for the immortal art taught by Doug, he can't even learn simple swordsmanship, what can he do to save the world, can he rely on this immortal body to be a meat shield?

"Don't believe me, well, then let me ask you, how did you get here. Luthor continued to press.

"How did I get here, of course, by boat. Jack said dismissively.

Luthor sneered twice and said, "Is it still alive?" ”

It doesn't matter if you don't say it, as soon as Jack heard this, he immediately became angry: "What are you talking about!? I live because my brother left me the hope of survival!" Luthor really didn't expect to uncover Jack's unhealed scar, and felt that he was talking a little too much, so he apologized and said, "Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." Well, your brother gave you the chance, but if I tell you that even if he doesn't give it to you, you will go ashore alive, do you believe it?"

The contradiction intensified, Luthor vaguely believed that Jack, as an outsider, had selfish intentions and didn't want to do anything for the continent, while Jack recalled that Luthor had persecuted him before, and he was really shirking his responsibility and feeling unhappy. The two just had a war of words.

"Okay, okay, you two stop arguing! Why are you arguing? Jack, don't talk yet, listen to Luthor. Coren pushed away the two men who were about to fight.

These two, one with strong blood and the other with a new life, both had their own opinions, and it was not until Coren drank that they stopped arguing.

Luthor shook his head, sat down on the stump beside him, breathed his breath, and said to Jack, "I know that you don't believe many of my words, but I tell you, you and Turks are the only two people who have returned from the sea alive after the sea beast infestation. Your body is protected by an unknown power. ”

Jack "cut" and retorted: "If you want to say that, then how do you explain that I was almost stabbed to death by the water-eating spider?If I have the power to protect me, why was I almost drowned by that revival spirit in the sea?As soon as I think of this, I am indignant, you say it is a divine beast, but why did he take the lives of so many of my brothers!?" Jack stood up suddenly, and pointed at Luthor with a flushed face, eager to stab him with the saber at his waist.

Luther's face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled a little and asked, "What...... What?The Spirit of Resurrection?Took Your Brother's Life?How is that possible!?"

Coren on the side was also surprised, and asked Jack: "The spirit of resurrection?!, this is impossible, it died a thousand years ago, and its body turned into a spirit stone." Why are you going to encounter it again? It's impossible!"

Jack also said with some suspicion: "Dead? Then the one we met is exactly like the mythical beast you said! I will never forget its hideous face, its scarlet mouth, and its huge body!" Jack's eyes were murderous, and he wanted to appear in front of the monster right now and slaughter it with his own hands!

It was nearly noon, and the soldiers were already busy cooking on the fire, and there were people walking past the three of them, and they decided to talk about it later.

As he walked, Jack seemed to be angry, and kicked on the stump of the tree on the side of the road, and saw Coren behind him shaking his head helplessly.

Jack had to go to his friend Tex for comfort.

By this time Turks had woken up from his deep sleep, and the military doctor had washed his face and body, tied gauze, and changed into clean clothes.

Seeing Jack coming, Tex wanted to get up, but was stopped by Jack: "Don't, you better lie down and rest." ”

"Hmm. I see that your face is not good, what happened. Turks asked.

Jack tugged at the round mark on the training uniform of the Missilean soldier on his chest, and he said unwillingly: "Luthor said that the beasts will obey my command, but you have known me for so long, do you think I have this ability? Does that make sense?"

After all, talking to familiar people, Jack's tone became much more tactful.

Turks listened quietly to Jack's complaints, then turned his head and replied, "I don't know why, but what I do know is that since the sea beasts are frequently seen in the waters of the Missus, you and I are really the only ones who have come back alive. ”

There was another long lull, and it wasn't until the shouts of the medic to come in and change the dressing that Jack was awakened in a daze.
