Chapter Twenty-Three: Night

It was a new day, Galen got up early, and Galen found that when he called him, no matter how loud he spoke, he couldn't wake Ezreal, so he had to repeat the old trick and directly dismantle Ezreal's tent. Ezreal would wake up when he sensed something was wrong, and would complain twice when he woke up, but Galen ignored him completely, and directly pulled him up and told him to hurry with him. Ezreal had no choice but to follow Galen on his way, and the two of them kept going on like this.

After a few days, as we went deeper into the desert, the weather became hotter and hotter, and in the southern desert, autumn and summer were no different, and they were also very hot. The deeper you go into the desert, the hotter it gets, and Ezreal can still walk with a parasol in one hand, but complains about the sand under her feet. Galen also had to help Ezreal carry the backpack, and there was nothing to cover, the sun was directly on his body, as if he had been roasted by fire, it was hot and unbearable.

Galen looked at the sun hanging high and said to Ezreal, "Take a break, the sun is too strong." Thinking that he had misheard, Ezreal asked, "Are you really resting?" Galen touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "There is no way to travel in such a hot sun." Ezreal jumped up for joy and said, "Okay, let's find a place to rest quickly, I can't stand the sun like this, it's better to travel for two or three hours a day, and don't hurry as soon as the sun rises." ”

Galen didn't answer him, and there was no point in going on, so he walked straight up, and Ezreal quickly followed. After a while, the two of them found a super large cactus, which was more than a meter in diameter, like a large stone pillar standing in the desert. Without saying a word, Galen directly took out the Storm Sword and slashed directly at the oversized cactus, and after a while, the cactus was pulled out of a big hole, enough for a person to go in and rest, and Galen went in directly. Ezreal stood in the shadow of the cactus and watched as Galen chopped down the cactus. Because there was no sunlight, I didn't do anything, and I sat on the sand.

When Ezreal saw Galen hollowing out the cactus and sat in it, he was very envious, so he discussed with Galen whether he could let himself in and rest, because he could only accommodate one person, Galen directly refused, and Ezreal was very disappointed. When Galen was trying to chop the cactus, he was resting and watching the play, and when he saw Galen enjoying it, he became envious, and looked at Galen's position from time to time, looking a little helpless.

Galen did not forget to do something meaningful when he was resting, and when Galen found that there was a lot of water in the flesh of the cactus, he took out a skin water bag for water. Then Galen began to dig up the cactus meat, using great force, little by little, to squeeze out the water in the cactus flesh and put it into the water bag. After more than an hour of hard work, it was finally filled with water bags, and the inside of the cactus was almost hollowed out, which could fit two people, and it was unknown whether the big cactus would fall, and it looked dangerous.

Galen looked at the position he had dug up so big that it could accommodate two people, so he said in a small voice: "Ezreal, there is a place here, you can't come in and take a rest." Ezreal, who had closed his eyes slightly, opened his eyes directly, ran over, and said, "How can I refuse your kindness." "It went straight into the inside of the cactus. Galen was really speechless for him, and he didn't respond to how loud he screamed when he woke him up in the morning, and now he ran over as quickly as he screamed softly.

The inside of the cactus was very cool, and Ezreal rested against the inner wall of the cactus, and then said, "It's much more refreshing here than outside, I didn't expect you to enjoy it as a big man, why didn't I think of it in advance." Galen pointed directly to a large cactus not far from the cave, and said, "There is a cactus about the size of this one, so if you want to experience it, you can dig it yourself." Ezreal's face froze, and then he said, "Then forget it!" the place you dug is very good, it must be better than mine, and I will not dig again." Galen didn't want to talk nonsense with him either, so he didn't talk to him about it.

Galen didn't know as much about the desert as Ezreal, so he asked Ezreal, "Do you know how long it will take to enter the heart of the desert?" "At the pace at which you are walking these days, it will take about a week. Vivien replied mechanically.

When Galen heard this answer, he was a little disappointed and said, "It will take so long, and like the current weather, our speed is twice as slow, which means that it will take us about two weeks to reach the center of the desert." Ezreal was also speechless, this time was far beyond the time he had started budgeting, and said helplessly: "I don't want to stay in this hellish place for so long, I miss my party and party in Piltover, I want to leave more than you, but there is no way." ”

Galen couldn't help but have a headache, thought about it, and said, "Ezreal, I haven't paid attention to whether there is a moon or stars these nights. Ezreal said, "Yes, I also gave me a beautiful close-up of the moon in my adventures. Galen immediately rejoiced and said, "If there is a moon, we will rest during the day and go at night." ”

Ezreal directly refused to agree: "I am a person with regular rest time, and getting up early every day to be disturbed by you is already my greatest limit of patience, and it is absolutely not okay to walk at night." Galen looked at Ezreal and said, "How much more will your exploration time increase at this rate, which will directly lead to you missing a lot of parties and gatherings, what a loss." ”

Ezreal listened to Galen's words, and his mind drifted to his own party, fantasizing about himself weaving around a bunch of pink girls. It was a long time before he came to his senses, when Galen asked Ezreal, "How are you thinking about it?" Ezreal said with a resolute expression on his face, "In order to be able to leave this hellish place early, I decided to risk staying up late and getting dark circles under my eyes, and hurried at night. "I'm still fantasizing about my party.

When Galen heard Ezreal's answer, he said, "Let's start our journey tonight, and rest now." When Ezreal heard this, he said directly: "I've walked so far today, and I'm tired, so let's rest here for a day, and then hurry tomorrow night." Galen, of course, disagreed with Ezreal's words, and said, "It's only noon, and you have plenty of time to rest, and I'll give you this cactus hole to rest, and I'll start walking tonight." ”

Ezreal saw that Galen had given up his cactus hole to rest and make such a big concession that even if Ezreal was reluctant, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed, agreeing to start his journey tonight. Galen walked directly out of the cactus' hole and walked to a cooler place to rest.

It wasn't until the evening, when the stars began to come out, and there was still some residual warmth on the sand, that Galen woke up and walked to the hole of the cactus, and looked at Ezreal, who was still asleep, and Ezreal's face still showed a satisfied expression, not knowing what kind of spring dream he was having. Ignoring him, he woke him up loudly and said a few loud words, but Ezreal didn't react. Galen thought for a moment, and then he had an idea, and said, "The cactus has been hollowed out by me too much, and it is about to fall." Ezreal heard this and ran out of the cave directly, and then Ezreal thought for a while, something was wrong, so he looked at Galen and said, "Why are you lying to me, I am still having my good dreams, and I was directly interrupted by you, you are immoral like this." ”

Galen couldn't laugh or cry, this strange thing can selectively accept information, it's really powerful. Galen pointed to the sky and said, "See, what time is it?" Galen said, "Have you forgotten something, didn't you say that you were going to go in the evening?" Ezreal thought seriously for a long time, and finally got up, his face fell directly, and he said with a bitter face: "Can you hurry again tomorrow, and rest for a day now." Galen said bluntly, "No." ”

After some discussion, Ezreal finally began to follow Galen on his way. The residual temperature on the sand was also blown away by the desert wind. Along the way, Ezreal was nervous, and when he saw any trouble, he would quickly run behind Galen, and then look around, looking very scared. When Galen saw this, he asked, "Are you afraid to walk at night, to be afraid of the night?" Ezreal said confidently, "How can my great Ezreal be afraid of the dark. ”

Galen said with a little teasing: "You're not afraid of the dark, so what are you afraid of, don't pull me." Ezreal's hand was still tugging at the back of the wheel, and when he heard Galen say this, he let go of his hands in embarrassment, and said, "I always feel that something is following us, and this feeling does not appear until the evening, I don't lie to you, I have avoided many dangers by my instincts." After saying that, a desert wind blew and whirred, and Ezreal jumped directly onto Galen's back, and then died.

Galen now forcibly held back his anger and said in a voice of gritted teeth, "Come down!" Ezreal looked around twice and was sure that there was no danger before he climbed off Galen's body. Ezreal came down and forcibly explained, "I really feel like something is following us, really." Now Galen would really be hell if he believed him, and said in a pleading tone: "Ezreal, don't scare yourself, okay, I beg you, don't make a fuss, if you are like this, how can we hurry." ”

Ezreal had nothing to say, and lowered his head, thinking to himself that something must be following him, but in the shadows, he didn't notice it. At the moment of thought, Galen was already some distance ahead, and Ezreal didn't have time to think anymore, so he said loudly, "Wait for me!" and quickly chased after him.

Ezreal had been following Galen all the time, less than half a meter away, basically walking close to Galen. Galen walks at a constant pace and doesn't look backwards, so there's nothing unnatural about Galen. Galen saw a humanoid black figure in front of him, and he stopped directly, and Ezreal hit Galen's back directly. Ezreal touched his head and said, "What are you doing, why don't you leave?" Galen said, "Look ahead, there seems to be a dark shadow." Ezreal popped up from behind Galen, looked at it, and there was really a dark shadow, so he quickly hid behind Galen, never to show his head again. Galen took a few steps forward, and Ezreal also clung to Galen, and Galen said, "I'm going to take out the Tempest Greatsword, can you not stick to me." Ezreal replied, "Oh!" and took two steps away. Galen took out the Tempest Sword and walked towards the shadows, and Ezreal clinged to Galen's back again.
