Chapter 15: Akuli
"Parker, let's go back." Hulan nervously clenched the metal rod in his hand, and there were several fresh wounds on his back, which had not yet healed completely.
The Yegu Forest during the day is not as terrifying as it is at night, but it also fills Hulan with fear, not only for the existence of the forest, but also for the caretakers of the mine.
There are actually only three interstellar people who actually stay on this planet, and they live in the starship that lands on the ground, and rarely come out of the huge starship unless necessary.
Therefore, in order to save trouble, they will select some interesting Tanlonians as the caretakers of the mines, and take charge of the Tanlons who mine on the mines for them.
Perhaps to curry favor with the esteemed interstellar people, and to take a stand, the caretakers were so ruthless and cruel to their fellow citizens that they were reluctant to even refer to themselves as Tanlons.
The scars on Parker and Hulan's bodies were all whipped by these caretakers, and compared to the interstellar people they had never seen before, in fact, these dog-legged caretakers were the real objects of hatred of most Tanlons.
"What are you afraid of, Akuli went to the side of the Sky Ship and was not in the mine." Parker's face was gloomy, the anger on his face was almost uncontrollable, and the new injuries on his body were twice as many as those on Hulan.
Akuli is the name of the caretaker of their mine, and Skyship is the name that most of the Tanlonians refer to as an interstellar spaceship.
"The glowing worm told him to snatch it." Parker's fists clenched tightly, "Grandma gave us the hidden point again." ”
I don't know who found out that the Parker brothers brought back the glowing worm from the Yegu Forest, and the news reached the ears of the caretaker Akuli, who took the glowing worm away with his men that day, Parker and Hulan wanted to stop it, and they were each beaten up, and it took them several days to heal their bodies.
Thanks to their grandma hiding a piece of the flesh of the glowing worm in the first place and giving it to the Parker brothers, the Parker brothers were able to recover so quickly.
But this also made Parker unacceptable, he and his brother risked their lives to go to the Yegu Forest to obtain the prey, so it was snatched away, not only did not compensate, but he and his brother were even beaten.
"Those abominable doglegs." Parker cursed.
"Yes...... But it's useless for us to go back here......" Hulan said with a crying voice, and he felt the terrifying gaze that was being watched everywhere.
"We don't have anything to trade with her......"
Last time, he and Parker met the beautiful woman with the lower body like a spider, and they thought they had met a monster, but they didn't expect that woman to be a good talker, and as long as they could answer her questions, they could spare the two of them.
Moreover, Parker even exchanged the news of an abandoned mine cave with this woman for a glowing bug!
Hulan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of what he and Parker still knew, or what else could be exchanged for that terrible and beautiful monster woman.
"Yes!" Parker was silent for a moment, "I have something to exchange." ”
Unexpectedly, Mo Lan found out that the two children from last time had come to the forest again.
In fact, she was preparing to go deep into the forest.
But it's okay to listen to the human information brought by these two children first, and you always want to know what happened to your "neighbors".
"Honorable Emissary of Yaku!" As soon as the kid named Parker saw him, he suddenly knelt down and bowed.
The name of the forest is derived from the name of the first god worshiped by the people of Thangor, who believed that the forest full of food was a gift from the god Yagur, and that the forest was inhabited by the gods of Yago, which the interstellar people never entered, was also considered a proof by them.
But what is the real reason...... The Kahur tree, which is more common than weeds, can't arouse the slightest interest of interstellar people, who would go out of their way to pick a weed or two.
What's more, although the interstellar people are powerful in technology, their own physical fitness is weaker than most races, and there are many wild animals and plants in the forest that can threaten them, but the value is not worth their risk at all.
Parker could not have imagined that a beautiful woman living in the Yagu Forest, with the combined body of a monster and a human, could be so generous and merciful that she would give them her food.
"Huh?" Mo Lan tilted her head sideways and didn't make a sound to refute, after all, she didn't even know what the god Yagu was.
One side of the land and one language, for example, the six-eyed bear in Mo Lan's mouth is a dry handkerchief in the mouth of the locals, the kind of snake that can disguise itself as a vine is called a curved vine, and the star fall insect is called a luminous insect......
Mo Lan many times, it takes a little imagination to know what they are talking about.
Parker knelt on the ground and described his experience after he went back, Hulan knelt behind him, his body trembled, compared to Parker, who couldn't feel anything, Hulan had to understand how terrible Molan was.
The ignorant are fearless.
"So?" Mo Lan was very curious, she didn't want to be exposed to people so soon, when she let the two brothers go back, she also used her mental power to set something in their minds, similar to explosives, once these two brothers broke the agreement and mentioned her existence to others, it would explode, and it would not die, but it would blow up the two of them into fools.
Now the appearance of the whole beard and the whole tail proves that the two children's mouths are indeed tight, but this is not a reason to make Mo Lan kind for the second time.
"I know you believe in fair trade." Parker didn't really understand this, he had only heard it from the Caretaker, and it was said that the Interstellar People often said this, and it should have been some kind of good thing, just like the Glowing Worm mentioned by the Caretaker was a good thing.
"I am willing to give my life to you."
Mo Lan and Hu Lan were stunned at the same time.
Hulan stretched out his hand to Lapak and shook his head desperately, "No, we won't change it, Parker, let's go home, grandma still has food, and my brother has it too." ”
But Parker was very stubborn, his head was slammed on the ground, a large piece of skin was broken on his forehead, blood flowed down his eyes, and he slipped from his eyelids, Parker didn't blink, raised his head and looked directly at Mo Lan, the red light like a beast flashed under his eyes, "I want to exchange Akuli's life for you." ”
Huh? …… it!
The hand eating the melon trembled slightly, Mo Lan didn't expect that this little boy named Parker would be so wild, to be honest, she thought that the other party was planning to change a little food at first, but she didn't expect to kill someone directly.
"Why?" Without showing surprise on her face, Mo Lan chuckled lightly and asked gently.
"No matter how much food is exchanged for it, it will be plundered." Parker gritted his teeth, he had already seen through the essence at a young age.
"Only when Akuli is gone, can our food really stay with us."
Mo Lan shook her head, even if she just listened to a few descriptions, she could guess what the real life of the people of Tanlonger was like.
Occupying half the size of the planet, the mining area has been developed to a completely bare area, divided into tens of thousands of areas, each with several mines of different sizes, each with a different caretaker.
Parker: They were only in a mining area near the edge of the forest, numbered 9956, and there were only four small mines here, and Akuli was only the overseer of one of them.
"Akuli won't really die." After thinking about it, Mo Lan replied, "If what you want is the life of the Akuli who took your food, then the next Akuli will still appear, and he will still take your food, and it won't even take too long." ”
"Akuli is just a name."
The real exploiters have not disappeared, and no amount of Akuli dies will have any effect and will not change anything.
It's not that Mo Lan can't do it, although the interstellar people use the equipment on the starship to monitor all the mining areas, but this kind of monitoring is only the simplest energy detection, which can only determine whether there is a large-scale energy explosion somewhere, and one or two sudden soldiers and insects will not be detected at all, killing a Tanlonian who doesn't even have a weapon is not even a little difficult.
I didn't see Mo Lan landing with a small flight capsule and didn't attract attention, but as long as the group of interstellar people put the surveillance on the forest a little bit, there should be a lot of detection machines coming, Mo Lan has not found any detection machines so far, which is proof.
But Mo Lan also wanted this child above to think calmly about whether it was worth trading a life for a life.
"I ......," Parker opened his mouth, and the voice swallowed back, and it was a long time before the quiet boy asked softly.
"Do we have to live like this as long as there are caretakers?"
Before Mo Lan could answer, Parker suddenly lowered his head again, and his voice was so low that he couldn't hear it.
“…… No, not a caretaker, an interstellar person. ”
Mo Lan approached the boy and stretched out her hand to lift her immature cheeks, revealing her scarlet, calm pupils, "I like you a little, good boy." ”
Some people keep bending their backs in the oppression, and some people straighten their backs more and more in the oppression.
"He's awakened." Shiqi said in the spiritual network that it is not power that awakens, but consciousness.
"Yes." Mo Lan nodded in agreement, and sighed slightly, "But I'm not something that humans can trust." ”
"I will take your life." Stroking the top of the boy's head, Mo Lan smiled at Hulan, who was completely stunned behind Parker, took Parker's hand, and walked to the cave behind him, with an inhuman indifference in his back.
Parker followed Mo Lan's footsteps obediently and without any resistance, he didn't know what was waiting for him, but he instinctively felt that this was an opportunity for him to change something.
"Parker! Wait a minute! Parker! Hulan shouted anxiously, not even fearing, chasing the figure in front of him.
A tentacle insect stopped directly in front of Hulan, blocking all his vision.
What happened? How so? Hulan thought blankly.
