Chapter 39: Anger
After a long distance, the two of them were silent, Seth felt that the atmosphere was really dull, and said a few jokes, which did not arouse the topic of Monroe, and the other questions he raised, Monroe only answered briefly in a few words: Well, probably, maybe ......
Seth felt bored, plus his feet hurt and tired, he helped Monroe to walk, and he had to pay attention to not tripping over the rattan weeds in the jungle under his feet, and gradually he didn't have the energy to speak, to be honest, he wanted to stop and rest for a while, but he knew that the current crisis was not over, only by persevering, the farther away from it, the safer it would be.
However, after the most uncomfortable time, his fatigue, fatigue, and pain seemed to be slightly better, and his hands and feet gradually gained some strength, and after walking for about an hour or two, Monroe suddenly stopped, and then looked around carefully, pointed in a direction, and let Seth go in that direction.
Seth was a little curious, but he also knew that elves lived in the jungle, and their familiarity and experience with the jungle far exceeded that of humans, if it weren't for Monroe's weakness at the moment, even if she temporarily lost her magical strength, she might not need her own help, she was fully capable of escaping from those guys in the jungle with ease.
He didn't ask, but Monroe glanced at him and took the initiative to say: "I was using a little experience to judge the direction just now, and we are going to leave the west at this moment...... After those guys chase us, they can't find us, they will definitely wait back to the elven kingdom, and if we go all the way to the south, I think we will definitely run into their ......."
"There are not many of them, and this jungle is very wide, so they can't search for us very carefully, so they can only use this stupid method, but I have to say that although this method is stupid, it is very effective, as long as I want to return to the elven kingdom, I will definitely be discovered by them......"
"So, I headed west, into the grassland, and then went back to the elven kingdom in a big circle, although it took time, it was relatively safe, and most importantly, even if they knew that I would do it, there was no way because they didn't have enough manpower!"
Saying this, Monroe gasped slightly, paused and added: "There is another advantage to this, the nomadic barbarians in the west are very unfriendly to any race that enters the grassland, and if they are discovered, there will be endless nomadic barbarians to besiege them...... Of course, for this, we are in the same situation, if we are discovered, the treatment will not be better than them, but this also avoids the possibility of them blatantly chasing us, as long as we are careful, the grassland is so big, it is not very difficult to avoid those barbarians!"
Seth glanced at her, and when he met her eyes, Monroe sighed slightly and whispered, "As long as my strength recovers a little, our situation will be much better...... Originally, you lived a good life in Woma Town, but you got into this predicament, you ...... Do you blame me in your heart?"
After thinking for a while, Seth shook his head slightly, but he didn't speak, just carefully removed the traces under his feet as much as possible, along the way, he has been doing this very carefully, although the jungle is very large, if they leave traces, it is easy to be caught up, so Seth tries to pay attention to the places he walks without making traces, even if he accidentally gets out, he will think of covering it up.
Monroe sighed softly again, there seemed to be some loss and sadness in her voice, she happened to be in the 'bleeding period', she was irritable and a little repetitive, and at first Seth said a slightly ambiguous word to her, which aroused the sorrow in her heart, and kept reminding herself in her mind: "He's just a human being, it's not ...... like this."
So she became cold, trying to distance herself from Seth, and used a perfunctory tone to Seth's words, if it weren't for the fact that she was powerless and had to rely on Seth's help, she would have left this 'hateful' human who had disturbed her heart.
However, after Seth tried to use jokes to arouse her topic, she was a little sneering, but she seemed to be a little unbearable, so she took the initiative to say so many things just now, but Seth still didn't answer, and she couldn't help but feel a little nameless anger after being a little lost: "Hmph, you ignore me, and I will never take the initiative to talk to you again......"
If Seth understood her thoughts, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, the most important reason why he didn't speak was just because he had no strength, of course, he thought that what he said just now made Monroe unhappy also accounted for a little reason......
The stars in the sky were getting brighter and brighter, it was about midnight, and Seth didn't know how long he had been walking, but according to their speed, he hadn't left the teleportation location far, he couldn't hold on anymore, and he gasped and said, "Let's ...... We've been walking for so long, can we rest for a while?"
Monroe snorted, Seth helped her sit down carefully, and then sat down with her, and then closed her eyes to rest, Monroe couldn't help but sneak a few glances at him, and her heart was even more annoyed, holding it for a moment, and snorting heavily in her nose.
Hearing her voice, Seth opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "You...... Are you hurting, is there anything wrong?"
Monroe saw him asking, but closed his eyes, and Seth saw her appearance, thinking that she was resting, and waited for a while, not noticing that there was anything wrong with her, and her body shook and struggled to stand up, limping towards the depths of the jungle with a branch.
Monroe heard the movement, opened her eyes for a moment, closed her eyes again, and muttered, "What is this guy doing?" suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face: "He...... He must have gone to excrete, but fortunately he was smarter and knew how to run farther, if not, hum......"
What is underneath this 'if', she herself didn't figure it out, waited for a long time, the surroundings were quiet, but Seth never came back, Monroe couldn't help but be a little nervous, she wasn't afraid, for elves, the jungle was no different from home, and chaotic thoughts kept swirling in her heart: "He...... Is he gone...... Oh no, if he's leaving, he's going to leave, he's ...... Something happened to him? Shouldn't be, if anything, it wouldn't be so quiet...... ...... the hell What the hell are you doing......
One thought kept coming to mind: "Is it ...... I asked him to leave just now, and he was a little embarrassed, after all, I saved him, and now he couldn't bear it anymore after walking for so long, so he left......"
Time passed for a while, Seth still did not come back, the expression on Monroe's face became colder and colder, and a heart seemed to sink into the abyss, and the strength she had just gathered in her body seemed to disappear in an instant, and an indescribable feeling filled her heart......
She gritted her teeth, stood up slowly with her hand on a tree next to her, took a deep look in the direction Seth had left, and was about to leave, when suddenly, there was a sound of rustling footsteps in the jungle, although the footsteps were still far away, the sound was still very small, if it weren't for the fact that the jungle was very quiet, and she happened to be focused, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.
When Seth's figure appeared in Monroe's sight, her heart, which was still as cold as winter just now, suddenly seemed to be illuminated by the warm sun, and suddenly warmed up, and when Seth walked to her side, she asked with some doubts: "Hey, what are you doing when you stand up, why don't you take a good rest?" Monroe couldn't help but be angry anymore: "What are you going to do? Why did you go for so long?"
