Chapter 43: Brave the Beast Cave (2)
In the darkness of the night, the group returned to the camp.
After not staying long, Jack entered the camp to pick up little Zari, took some fruit on his body by the way, and followed the large army with the dozens of soldiers guarding the camp, and returned to the side of the valley gate.
At this time, the soldiers of the Holy Ape Country were standing on the city wall patrolling, and when they saw that it was Coren and they came back with torches, they immediately opened the city gate and let them out.
"Where's Al?" Coren asked the soldier, who replied that Al was resting outside in his tent.
So Coren led the dozens of people and hurried to the tent outside.
There was a bonfire burning outside the valley gate, and it was clear that Jack and the others had made it to dinner, and when they parted, Jack and Turks sat down by the fire, ready to roast some meat and eat it. Coren walked straight to the tent where Al was.
"El!" called Coren before he could step into the tent.
"Who?" Al asked, not knowing who it was, putting down the food in his hand.
Coren opened the door, walked in, and said, "What about the dozen or so veterans?"
"Oh, I'll let them go, and I'll let them go back anyway, so let them go back. ”
Al looked up and replied, then lowered his head to eat.
Coren was shocked: "What!?gone!?Where did you go?"
Al shook his head, not knowing why Coren was so nervous: "I don't know, what's wrong?"
Cologne, who had received an affirmative reply, stomped his foot on the ground and hurriedly shouted, "Oops! Something happened!" and ran out.
Al, who didn't understand what was happening, got up and followed.
At this time, Jack and Tex were chatting, when they saw Coren hurrying over, and with words in his mouth, they got up to greet them.
"Father, is there something wrong?" Turks asked first, seeing that Coren was not looking right.
"The Demon Troop is gone!" called Cologne.
Everyone didn't know why Coren was so surprised, wouldn't it be better to go, and it was also a time bomb by his side.
Luther, who was sitting far away, also heard Cologne's voice, and also came over at this time.
"Isn't the Demon Force not going to leave the mission point?" said Jack.
There didn't seem to be time to answer at the moment, Coren just wanted to confirm the situation, so he asked Tex, "What about the Spirit Summoning Sword?"
Turks scratched his head, "It's not me, Jack should have taken it, right?" he said, looking at Jack.
But Jack waved his hand again and again and said, "I didn't take it, when I got out of the beast cave, I saw that the Spirit Summoning Sword was no longer there, didn't you take it?"
Both of them were thinking about who had taken it, but what was certain was that when they came out, the Spirit Summoning Sword was gone.
Coren sat down quietly, his eyes glazed, he was sure that the demon spirit force was going on a new mission, but the point was that no matter where the demon spirit force went, it would cause killing, and this was the last thing Koren dared to imagine.
"Alright, now that the Demon Spirit Force is gone, there's no need to think about it. Even if they stay here, there's no way we can stop them. ”
Luthor gently walked over to Colon and comforted.
After a long time, Coren sighed, shook his head and said: "This continent is destined to be bloody, I really want to prevent this day from coming, but I don't have the ability." ”
As soon as the king's frustrated words came out, Jack and Turks immediately crouched down in front of Coren, trying to comfort him with words.
"Father, we at least have hope. Wait for the day, go to the beast cave again, I'm sure we can find the beasts!"
Turks clenched his fists and said firmly.
The safety of the Missile. In other words, the safety of this world is actually completely guaranteed by the lord of the country Cologne, to some extent, but there are so many enemies beyond their imagination at present, and anyone will have a feeling that the end of the world is coming.
Jack did not think that Coren was cowardly, on the contrary, he understood Cologne's words, and became more and more convinced that this monarch, who had lived his life for the survival of the country and its people, was worthy of everyone's life for him.
It was night, and the surrounding area of the canyon was silent, except for the occasional sleepy soldier who was on the vigil and joked with each other.
In the blink of an eye, it was early in the morning, and Jack was woken up by the morning bell on the canyon gate.
After breakfast, Jack came to the city gate early, knowing that Coren was already waiting there.
"Why so early?"
Jack walked over and greeted Cologne.
"I didn't sleep well, so I might as well wake up early. Coren replied simply.
Jack looked at the king in front of him, he seemed to see a divine light, maybe it was because of yesterday's events with the demon army, that he had come to the city gate all night and red eyes earlier than anyone else, perhaps, the sorrow in his heart made him dare not fall asleep.
All in all, Jack felt that the Missours country was blessed with such a king, and if his hometown Garland could have half the good qualities of Cologne, the Garland people might live happily.
The crowd came one after another, and the sun slowly rose in the east.
Less than twenty people had chosen to follow today—Turks, Luthor, and fifteen soldiers, which Coren must have arranged last night.
Without further ado, Jack and the others set off again.
At last night's meeting in the tent, Coren arranged for someone to find gadgets so that he could go to the beast cave again without embarrassment. A group of people also carefully discussed the itinerary for the next day, they initially decided to clean up the quagmire first, and then Jack and Tex took the lead, going down first, the others followed, and in addition, two people were arranged at the entrance of the cave to answer, and two more people were left in the cave to guard.
Along the way, everyone's expressions were much more relaxed than the first time they went, especially Jack and Turks.
This Turks also followed Jack's example, hiding his Soul Eater Sword behind him, avoiding the troublesome Aohime, and the two grinned on Aohime's back, admiring each other's wit.
After a while, they were again in the middle of the swamp.
At this time, one of the soldiers who landed first suddenly shouted: "There is a strange mark here!"
Turks ran to the edge of the woods, near the swamp, and looked at the soldier on the ground.
On the shore of the swamp in front of me, there were two rows of footprint-like traces, like human flippers! Only these flippers had only three "toes," and they were five or six times larger than human footprints!
Luthor ran over, looked at the footprints on the ground, and then got up and searched for something.
"Is there a spirit beast coming out!?" Coren asked nervously.
Luther looked around and followed the trail of footprints slowly into the woods, but eventually the footprints disappeared on flat ground.
"How is this possible!?" Luthor turned back to Coren and asked, "Cologne, did any of those sea beasts you caught fly back then?"
Coren replied in surprise, "No?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Luthor analyzed that it was a flying spirit beast that stepped on this footprint, and it was very likely that it was a sea beast that came out of the beast cave, but, on the other hand, a sea beast was an amphibian without wings!
The crowd was vigilant to deal with the dangerous creature that was out of nowhere.
