Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Man in Black
Since Eric had made out the direction, the two had been walking in the vast forest for two days.
Although Aaron and Eric have also been stop-and-go in the past two days, and when they can't hold on, they will always rest for a while and then continue on the road, but until now there is still no sign of the top of the eternal green.
"Take a break, won't you?"
Aaron's lips were cracked. After the two of them were bitten to death by the wolf, there was no water and no food, so most of the time they had to rely on dew to quench their thirst, but the food was very abundant in comparison, and every time Eric went out alone, he could bring back some game. Aaron feared that if he couldn't find the top of the Emerald again, he would either become like a wild man or die in the forest.
Eric nodded, found a comfortable place, and sat down against the tree. Aaron looked around and didn't find a suitable place, so also sat down next to Eric.
Eric did not express an opinion on this. If he could save his stamina, Eric wouldn't mind ignoring Aaron's presence at some point.
"Have you ever been to the top of the Emerald Mountains?" Aaron leaned against the tree, squinting his eyes, and was most comfortable at this time.
"Of course I did. It was arguably the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The ground was covered with little green grass, and on both sides were oddly shaped plants, some of which I had seen and some of which I didn't know what they were. But you have to be very careful when you walk there, you might get something out of unexpected places. Sometimes when you walk on the road, it's probably on the faces of some creatures. Eric said, licking his chapped lips.
It's kind of scary. Aaron thought that Eric was lying to himself, but he secretly looked at Eric's face, full of confusion and exhaustion, this state should not have the energy to lie to himself again, right?
"The 'monster foragers' are also very dangerous?" Aaron asked.
"Of course. There are no other creatures in the vicinity of the 'Monster Foragger'. ”
Oh, by the way, I forgot that it's a plant, and it should easily survive on the sun and the earth. ”
"When it was small, it could, but when it grew up, it had to rely on other creatures to survive, which is where its name comes from. ”
It is true that some plants can capture other creatures, such as Aaron had heard of a plant called the Sheep Eating Tree, which could rely on flowers to catch small animals, but instead of directly devouring these animals, they absorbed the nutrients from the carcass after the animal died. So when Aaron heard that the "monster foragers" were creatures that could prey, he was not very curious, but a question arose in his mind.
"Other creatures, didn't you say there were no other creatures around him?" Aaron wondered.
"There were no other creatures, but it had tentacles, and they were all captured by himself. ”
Aaron frowned, and when he heard the word "tentacle", he suddenly felt sick in his heart.
At that moment, Eric suddenly stood up and pricked up his ears as if listening to something.
"What's wrong?" Aaron also stood up, looking around warily.
Suddenly, three sharp arrows burst out from the depths of the woods and shot at Eric. Eric and Aaron threw themselves forward, "ding", "ding", "ding", "ding", and the sharp arrow was nailed to the tree.
Aaron got up from the ground, drew his sword, and stared in the direction where the arrow was fired, and another sharp arrow shot at him.
Aaron hurriedly rolled to the other side, and the arrow landed on the ground.
Eric's face became ugly, there could be no other race coming in this place, so it was only the elves who attacked him. It's ironic to think about being attacked by your own people near your own home.
"Who's there?" Eric said with a frown, shouting into the depths of the forest.
But no one answered.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh"......
Arrows rained down from the depths of the forest. When Eric sensed that the other party was trying to kill him, he immediately turned and ran. Since they didn't want him to live, there was no need for him to stay here like a target.
"Hey, what the hell is going on? Wait for me. Aaron immediately chased after him, following closely behind Eric, "Do you have any enemies?"
Eric glared at Aaron angrily, didn't these guys come to clean you up?
Eric felt it was necessary to reason with Aaron about this. However, Eric saw another round of arrows flying towards him, and the idea could only be delayed.
Just as the two of them were running desperately, three men in black suddenly jumped down from a tree in front of them and stopped them. Aaron and Eric had just stopped when three more people were behind them.
These people were all wearing black hooded capes and white masks, and no features were visible at all. Even if it's a relative, I guess there's no way to identify it, right?
"Who the hell are you, what do you want to do?" Eric frowned, looking at the three men in front of him. Aaron turned around and leaned back against Eric in a tacit understanding.
"You all have to die. ”
I don't know if it's because of the mask, the voice of the man in black is a little strange. Eric listened carefully to the voice, but he couldn't guess who the other party was.
"Why kill us?" Aaron asked. Even if you die, you have to die to understand.
"There is no reason, you must die. ”
After saying that, the man in black was like a black whirlwind, rushing towards the two.
Melee combat is acceptable for Aaron, after all, he still has a long sword in his hand. But Eric, who only had a broken sword, looked very uncomfortable. Seeing the man in black rushing over, Eric hurriedly shot a few arrows, but to no avail, and the man in black quickly came in front of him. Eric could only grit his teeth, but still pulled out the broken sword that could not hold thirty centimeters.
Aaron and Eric lean on each other and look out for each other. However, due to Eric's disadvantage in weapons, Aaron had to take on more defense, and his physical strength, which was not very sufficient, immediately dropped. Even so, Eric still showed defeat in the siege of the two.
"Whirring ......"
Sweat from his forehead ran down Aaron's cheeks, and his arms holding the sword began to tremble slightly, but Aaron was still struggling to hold on. And the offensive on the opposite side is continuous, and there is no intention of stopping. If this scenario is followed, sooner or later he and Eric will be killed by these people.
"Is that the only way to go?" Aaron gritted his teeth, fending off the flood of attacks from the four men in black, his mind constantly thinking of countermeasures.
At this moment, a scream was heard from behind Aaron.
