Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Day of the Hunt

Galen and Ezreal walked a long way, and then looked behind them to make sure that nothing was chasing after them, and then they walked forward with confidence. Much later, Galen and Ezreal were tired and stopped to rest. During the break, Galen said: "We have to think about where we sleep at night, we can't sleep on the surface of the desert, and when we do, we don't know when we will be dragged under the sand and eaten." Ezreal imagined what Galen was talking about, he was sleeping, and suddenly a monster bit him down and dragged him down, and he couldn't grasp anything, he could only grasp the sand weakly, sinking deeper and deeper, and then only his thighs remained, and finally the whole person sank down, and he couldn't see anything, as if nothing had happened.

The more Ezreal thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and Galen looked at Ezreal in a daze, and he didn't move for a long time. Galen thought that Ezreal didn't listen to him, so he slapped Ezreal, and Ezreal screamed directly, jumped up, and found that it was Galen who slapped himself, and it wasn't a monster that came to bite him, so he calmed down. Then he said to Galen very angrily: "What are you filming me for, I am imagining the situation of the Retreat Beast, you are immoral to scare me like this, people are scared to death, you know?"

Galen was speechless, thinking in his heart that it wasn't what I wanted you to think, what are you complaining about, but Galen won't say it, and if he says it, Ezrui will fight with himself. Galen returned to the topic and said, "Where are we going to sleep tonight, it will be dark in a few hours, sleep in the desert, do you dare?" Ezreal shook his head and said, "I don't sleep in the desert even if I die, those reclusive beasts are so terrible, I don't want to die in vain." ”

Galen thought for a moment and said: "In such a big desert, except for cacti like big trees in the sky, there is no other place to hide, and those reclusive beasts may catch up at any time." Ezreal said, "Let us get up and go forward, and find the cactus, or we will sleep in the desert." Galen couldn't believe that Ezreal had offered to go for the first time, and that Galen had forced him to go every time.

Galen thought that Ezreal was too afraid of such a creature, so he said something like this, and if there was no danger, to call him to hurry was to tell him to die, the best. Galen and Ezreal walked around to see if there were any cacti that could be climbed up to rest. The two of them walked on the road, Galen looked behind him a few times and didn't find any reclusive beasts chasing him, so he stopped looking backwards, but Ezreal had to look backwards every time he walked a distance, and he kept turning and looking backwards along the way, not feeling tired at all.

Two hours later, Galen and Ezreal saw a huge cactus, more than 3 meters in diameter, very round, not very tall, more than 3 meters in appearance, but those thorns looked terrifying, each one was more than 5 centimeters. It's not easy to climb up anyway, and the spherical cactus has no point of stress.

Galen and Ezreal looked at each other for a moment, then at the cactus. Ezreal first said: "Look at the sky, it will soon be night, there is only this thing around, but this thing is not easy to deal with, such a sharp thorn, if it is stabbed, it will not be half dead." Galen said a little depressedly: "This is really not easy to do, it will soon be night, we can only choose this thing, let's think about what to do with this thing." ”

The two of them discussed, and after more than ten minutes, the two of them finally came up with a solution, which was to cut out a door from the side of the cactus, hollow out the flesh of the cactus ball inside, and then the two people went in, and put the cut door back again, so that a safe space could be formed, and the two of them could sleep peacefully. Galen and Ezreal worked together, the things inside the cactus were relatively soft, and they were very good at digging, and the two of them quickly hollowed out the cactus, just enough to live in two people.

On this day, the two of them were chased by the Escape Beast and walked a lot of roads, and they couldn't stand it physically and mentally. Ezreal went in first, and then lay down, and didn't care about anything, Galen went in too, and put the part of the cactus ball that had been cut off first back to its original position, and after some fixing, to make sure that the door would not open while the two of them were sleeping, Galen lay down in peace, and the sky gradually darkened.

During the night, several Retreats passed around the cactus, but they did not find Galen or Ezreal, and neither of them knew that any Escapees had crawled over until dawn. Because he slept early, Galen also woke up very early, and through the crack in the door where the cactus ball was dug, he found that the sky was not completely bright, and the desert was very quiet, without the slightest sound of wind and grass. Galen made sure there was no danger around him and opened the door to the cactus.

Galen looked blankly ahead through the place where the cactus had been dug up, the sky was already red, and the sun was about to rise. Galen knew that he hadn't paid attention to the ordinary but beautiful things around him for a long time, and he had been hurrying and running away, and he didn't have time to pay serious attention to the beauty around him. The rising sun, red, the undazzling sunlight gives people a very hopeful feeling, warm, the only time to forget all the troubles at this time, the mood is very ethereal, and Galen also enjoys this time.

It's just that good things are short-lived, and Ezreal has woken up, and the originally regular schedule has been irregularly brought by Galen. When he woke up, Ezreal touched his whole body and found that he had not been attacked last night, so he was relieved, and then looked in the direction of the exit and found Galen sitting, not knowing what he was looking at. Ezreal also looked at the same position as Galen, but Ezreal didn't see anything, only a newly rising sun, Ezreal ignored it directly, so he patted Galen and said, "What are you looking at, you can see so indifferently, why don't I see anything." ”

After Galen was disturbed, he had no intention of continuing to watch, so he said, "I didn't look at anything, I was just in a daze." Ezreal said, "When will we start our journey at dawn, or let us go now." Galen asked rhetorically, "When did you become so concerned about hurrying, don't you hate rushing?" Ezreal said helplessly: "You think that's what I thought, I have to risk being eaten every day here, and if I can complete the task quickly, I can get out of this hellish place quickly." ”

Galen heard Ezreal say this, there was nothing more to say, he was quite scared, he had to live a life of fear every day, no one could stand it, Galen said: "Then go now, hurry up and pack your things." After a while, the two of them walked on the desert, and walked into the depths of the desert.

By noon, Galen and Ezreal encountered three Deserters, and after Galen quickly killed them, he and Ezreal ran desperately, fearing that more Deserters would follow. The two of them kept walking towards the depths of the desert, and there was no danger except for the Retreat Beast.

A few days passed, and Galen encountered more and more Retreat Beasts, and when he met few Retreat Beasts, he killed them quickly, and when he encountered many Retreat Beasts, he quickly ran away. In this way, every day he lives a life of killing the beast if he can fight, and running away if he can't fight, without any good solution. After a few days, the two of them were exhausted and had to tense their nerves every day. , I don't know how long it will last. Those reclusive beasts are like ghosts, and they can't get rid of them at all.

After another day of running, Galen and Ezreal were exhausted, it was getting dark, night was coming, and they had not yet found a place to take refuge, there was nothing to cover themselves in, nothing like a cactus that was above the surface of the desert, which meant that they would spend the night in the desert. A few days ago, I didn't encounter such a situation, two people took turns to sleep, one stood and observed the situation around them, but this is particularly physically exhausting, one night down, the person is directly half dead, and you have to rest until noon the next day to ease up, before you can continue to walk.

The two of them would not choose to sleep on the desert unless they had to, the surface of the desert was too dangerous, but there seemed to be no way to do it tonight. Galen said to Ezreal, "There is no way to sleep tonight, only two people take turns sleeping, and one person must keep vigil." Ezreal and Galen had been through so much that they no longer had the same complaining mood as they had been, so they whispered a good word and didn't say anything.

Now the two of them have to think not about how to leave this desert, but about how to survive, there is hope for survival, there is no way back at all, they go too deep, they can only go hard. Ezreal said weakly, "I'm too tired, I'll come to the vigil in the second half of the night, and you should keep vigil in the first half of the night." Galen agreed, and said, "You can rest in peace, leave it to me in the first half of the night, and rest on this sand dune, this place is relatively high, and you can see the surrounding situation more clearly." ”

Ezreal said, "Okay, I'm resting, you can hold on for a few more hours." Galen said yes, and said nothing. Ezreal fell asleep, and Galen sat down, quietly looking at the surroundings, making sure that there was nothing unusual around. If anything unusual happens, Ezreal must be woken up. A few hours passed, and it was almost Ezrealla's turn to be on duty, Galen heard the rustling of the sand as it moved, it was dark today, and Galen didn't see what it was, and by the time Galen knew what it was, it was too late.

Galen desperately woke up Ezreal, and when Ezreal woke up, he said, "Is it my vigil?" Galen said, "We're in trouble, maybe we can't escape, this is probably our grave." Ezreal looked down from the sand dunes, the overwhelming Retreat Beasts were slowly swarming towards the hills where they were, all around, although there was not a single Retreat Beast in sight, but the surging sand was like a wave, surging one by one, countless Retreat Beasts hid under the sand.

Galen looked at this situation, untied the Storm Sword from behind his back, and clenched his hands tightly, his palms sweating because of nervousness. Galen said to Ezreal: "Ezreal, aren't you a mecha, after so many days, your mecha should have a little energy, you should be able to fly out of this place, I don't have to worry about it, I can't die." Ezreal looked at the approaching tide of Retreat Beasts, and then looked at Galen, who had a determined look on his face, knowing that Galen had no hope of surviving in the face of so many Retreat Beasts. Ezreal said loudly to the gauntlets, "Vivien, no matter what the situation of the mecha is, activate it with all your might, and quickly merge it." Vivien, the master of the machine, said, "Yes, master." ”

In an instant, the mech was assembled, and Vivien said, "All systems are loaded, please instruct." The mecha had slowly risen and was about to take off, and Ezreal looked at Galen, a little reluctant.
