I looked back and watched their figures rush towards me, a soft smile on the corners of their pale lips, cracked skin, rolled flesh wounds. It turned out that the feeling of blood passing was calm and numb.

"Elvia, Arna, Xavier, Isaac, Brady".

As I silently recited their names, my eyes darkened, my surroundings became dizzy and frenzied, and my breathing became rapid.

"Bang~"

As the crimson sword slashed across his arm, a sharp pain welled up in his heart, and the tiredness and sleepiness in his whole body instantly dissipated. I knew that this thirst-quenching practice would only hasten my death, but I had no choice.

The blood gushing out of his arms was like a red flower falling from the sky, and like rain spilling onto the ground.

The big tree loomed in the clouds in the distance, and Attaruga behind him did not stop in pursuit.

"This time, it's up to you how you escape"

I could already see the trap, flying over it.

Aitaruga seemed to sense my abnormality and hurriedly stopped, but the extremely fast speed was difficult to stop, and he fell straight into the pit with a "poof".

"Brother, how are you?"

Elvia held my crumbling body, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Leave me alone, give"

Isaac took the bag in my hand, and the fluorite flew like raindrops into the pit, and suddenly the flames were everywhere, and the smoke and dust of the explosion soared into the sky.

Aitaruga: "Whew... Oh... Obviously it could not resist the scorching of the fire, and its huge body kept hitting the sides of the pit, and the earth trembled.

I looked down at my bleeding arm, my whole body gradually became cold, and my heart gradually suffocated.

"Give... Leave me... Keep one"

I took the fluorite in my hand and used the last of my strength to crush it into powder, then sprinkled the red powder in my hand on my bleeding arm.

Intense pain instantly flooded into my mind, like being bitten by ten thousand insects, itching at first, and then becoming hot in the blink of an eye.

I gritted my teeth and tried to restrain myself, beads of sweat on my pale forehead.

When the powder comes into contact with the blood, it becomes viscous and gradually solidifies.

When the blood stopped, I ripped off my sleeve and wrapped it around my arm to avoid being bitten by other blood-sucking flying insects in the forest and infecting the wound.

"Oh no, Aitharuga escaped". Brady hurriedly shouted.

I staggered to my feet and walked towards the pit, only to see that the smoke had cleared, and all that was left of the pit was the broken horn on top of Ataruga's head.

It seems that it was still a miscalculation, and Aitaruga would actually make a hole, which I never expected.

"Are you alright?"

Arna walked forward, her eyes slightly red, tears in her eyes, and her thin red lips slightly opened, as if to blame, but then she stopped talking.

"It's not a big deal, it'll be fine in a few days, but I still let it escape, it's a pity"

"Don't be reckless, fluorite can only temporarily stop the bleeding, I'll help you find some herbs to put on it"

"No, I don't think Ataruga will give up, let's not be separated."

I opened my mouth to dissuade her, but Arna had already turned away, and the light shining through the foliage on her body was particularly charming to me.

"Sister Arna, I'll go too"

"Elvia, bring this sword"

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the forest mist, I breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and lay down beside the tree, the blood in my body was lost too much, now I only felt extremely weak all over, and my pale lips were slightly chapped.

Xavier looked at me and didn't say anything, just took the water bag from his waist and threw it over.

"You're a little bit like Elvis I know"

"What's not like it?". I asked rhetorically.

Xavier sat down next to me and looked up at the sky, the dense foliage blocking his view.

"We've never sat down and talked like this"

"Is that why?"

"Yes, we have been in a hostile state before, and we didn't like each other, but today I don't see the kind of hatred in your eyes."

I looked up and took a sip of water, couldn't help but smile, and said, "What, not used to it?" ”

"No, now that you're you, I feel like the gap between me and you is getting bigger and bigger. Do you remember why you insisted on arresting Dinaksh? ”

Hearing this, I was stunned, and my mind went blank, because I couldn't remember any memories before I woke up. I don't know if he's testing me, or if I'm overthinking.

"Forgot, do you believe it?"

I didn't find any reason to hide the reality I couldn't remember, whether it was true or not, Xavier could tell at a glance.

"What a fat night monkey"

I followed the sound and saw Isaac and Brady striding towards us from the depths of the woods, carrying a fat, gray-green monkey in their hands.

"Elvis, this monkey is just right to make up for you." Isaac said as he threw the monkey on the ground.

I looked down at the monkey lying on the ground and dying, and saw a hole in its head, and blood was bubbling out, presumably caused by their heavy blows, and its limbs were broken, and its round eyes looked at me in horror.

"Where did you do that?"

"Originally, we just wanted to catch a few meat rats, but we didn't expect to encounter the night monkey beast, but since we did, we brought it back, which was just enough for a few of us to eat." Brady explained.

"Night monkeys are social creatures and only come out at night to feed, where did you catch them?"

"Don't worry Xavier, look at you nervous, it's just a monkey, it's not the first time we've eaten"

Isaac said, taking out a short knife from his waist, slashing it through the monkey's neck with a "click", and then skillfully peeled its skin, and the bright red flesh appeared in front of us.

With the swing of the short knife in Isaac's hand, he cut the whole piece of meat into thin strips and skewered it on the branch that had been prepared in advance.

The strips of meat sizzled in the fire, and soon a smell came, and Isaac ripped off a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it and saying, "Well, it's okay"

I stood up and looked around, vaguely feeling a pair of eyes staring at us, a low growl coming out of my mouth.

"Elvis, come and have a taste"

I didn't take the meat Isaac handed me. Night monkeys are social creatures, so there must be monkeys around.

I crouched down to take a closer look at the severed limb that Isaac had chopped off. With its tough claws and fangs, the monkey must be a carnivore.

"Xavier, how many night monkeys are there?"

"I don't know the specifics, there are usually fifty or sixty of them, but Mt. Kirikake is no more than other peaks, it will only be more and not less."

Hearing this, I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and hurriedly said: "I can't stay here any longer, go find Elvia and Arna"

"It's okay, now during the day, the night monkey beast will only come out at night." Isaac said with a mouth full of grease.

My face was cold, staring at the thing hidden in the darkness.

"Sooner than later, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
