Chapter 123: On the Verge of Collapse
"Damn!" Tex cursed.
The original simple call for help has not been easy since it set foot on this island, and it is difficult one after another, and no one will accept such a thing.
"Turks, run!" called Luther.
Although he was already running as fast as he could, Turks could still feel the momentum behind him, and even the sound of footsteps trampling on the dirt of fallen leaves vibrated his eardrums clearly.
"Luther, you run first!"
Now that you have anticipated what is about to happen, it is better to bravely turn back and face it. That's what Turks thinks.
Luthor had no weapons in his hands, and during the journey, he only played the role of a "military advisor", and when it came to a real battle, he couldn't even use a sword, and Turks knew this.
"Tex!
Unable to care about it so much, Luthor had to hand over his back to the severed Turks.
"Come on!" said Tex, turning, and jumped into the tall bushes by the side of the road, and by this time Luthor had climbed a net-like banyan tree entwined with dead trees, which lived on trees, and when they grew up, they twisted and towered into the clouds, so that they had many branches and were easy to climb. Luthor climbed up without hesitation.
The unknown creature behind him roared into the bushes with Tex's sharp turn, and disappeared without a trace.
Luthor climbed thirty or forty meters in one go, and his vision became not very wide, but he could still vaguely see the ground beneath his feet.
The jungle was silent for a moment as if nothing had happened, and the air was suffocating.
"Turks!" Luthor shouted at a crushed voice.
"Tex!?Where are you?Tex!"
There was no response at all.
"You shouldn't have brought them here! Alas, Ile, your country has hurt us! I don't think we're all going to die here!"
Luther looked sadly at the ground under his feet, which was trampled by huge footprints, and the countless jumble and deep footprints on the dirt were imprinted on his heart like a soldering iron.
"I didn't expect the hope of the world to die because of my sloppiness, why didn't I think of sending a message to Ireh first!? damn it...... Cologne, I'm sorry to have failed your long-held expectations, the people of Tana, I'm sorry, I'm still disappointed you, I'm a worthless explorer after all, useless......"
Luthor regretted that he hadn't even seen the giant beast that had killed the Turks, and was left alone to survive. Obviously, I can't go back to the errand, so I might as well fall down the tree and accept the punishment of this rainforest.
Luthor was expressionless, and he would have wanted to cry if he could, but he hadn't cried in a long time. Since he was a teenager, he has been alone, roaming the world with a package on his back, enduring countless cynicisms, even insults, scolding, sometimes it rains heavily, and even the beggar crowd living in the cave is unwilling to pity him a place to rest, and he can only find a big tree with lush foliage and lie on the trunk to hide from the rain and sleep. Over the past 20 years, I have gained nothing except those two books that are worthy of the envy of others, but there is nothing that can be taken out for others to praise. Many people will only say when they see Luther, "Oh! Luther's will has made Luther what an amazing experience!" or, "Hey Luther, have you found any good places to go during this time!?" Or others don't say anything, just look at themselves and just smile, their eyes full of envy and disdain, as if to say, "What's the use of knowing so much? It would be nice to deceive those children who are not deeply involved in the world and tell them stories as stories, this continent does not need explorers, we need swords and cavalry." "And I don't have any of that.
His steps grew heavy, and he followed the footsteps of the beast that had spawned shallow water.
"Oh my God, I can't imagine if you'll be able to save your body if you're trampled on by this kick...... My God, my prince, I'm sorry for you...... Why did I listen to you and run away on my own? I should have been with you, not for you to take this risk to get away from the monster. Oh no, it should be me to lure him away, I'd rather be killed than keep your fire...... You are the hope of all mankind......"
Luthor had become almost insane, and he fell to the ground, buried his hands and feet deep in the places where the beast had trodden, and slowly crawled into the bushes as he followed his tracks, and said to himself, "Leave me a corpse! Or a head! Hehe, leave nothing...... So, take me with you, too. ”
At this moment, the bush stretched out and suddenly there was a sound of "rustling", Luthor noticed the danger coming, but he just couldn't exert his strength, he tried to break free, but found that his hands and feet had sunk into the muddy water and could not be pulled out.
His eyes were full of horror and fear, and he could only struggle as hard as he could.
It's coming out!
It's getting closer!
It looks like it's about to step on it!
"Luther, why are you lying on the ground!?
The man who came out of the jungle hurriedly crouched down, dragged him up from the dirty ground, and leaned against the foot of the Lookout Tree.
"Luther, hey!"
But there was no response.
After a long time, Luther, who was close to being stupid, saw clearly who the person in front of him was, and suddenly woke up from a sweet dream like a person who had slept for a day: "Turks!"
He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and kept stroking Tex's face: "Tex! It's really you, hahaha, I knew you wouldn't die!"
Turks had no idea what was going on, and just let Luthor smear his face with dirty hands.
The celebration of "rebirth" is over, and the ending is really unexpected for Luthor.
"Turks, how did you do that!?" asked Luther.
Tex sneered, "Can that legged tree dragon do anything to me? I ambushed it behind it as soon as it jumped into the bushes, its claws over my head before I didn't hesitate to plunge the Soul Eater into its belly. ”
"And then? It's dead?"
"No, not dead yet. It rolled and took my Soul Eater with me, and I had to look for it. So I ran with it, and this run was so far away that I almost forgot how to go back. Turks said, "Well, by the way, is this tree dragon a beast of the desolate land? How do I think it looks like it lived in the jungle?"
"Do you remember what it looked like?"
"Of course, it took me a long time to snatch the sword back from its thick belly. It has dark gray eyes, a long pointed mouth, not very sharp teeth, neatly grown in the mouth, and a thick curly mane on its body, shaped like a water dragon, slender and thick, one leg thicker than the body of a Wangtian tree, and it can run quickly. Well...... Also, it has a long body, but a small belly, and four legs with inverted claws. That's all I can remember, it's so fast with injuries that I can't catch up, and if I can, I'll not hesitate to make up for it!"
Luthor couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Turks asked, "What's wrong?" where I'm talking about...... Is there a laugh?"
Luthor was still laughing, and after Tex's two questions, he said, "Interesting." Now we don't need to look for them, they will look for us themselves. ”
"Why?"
