Volume 2: The Storm Falls 104 Horrors in the Trees
A few people who were close to me were standing across from me staring at me, and I knew what was going on in their minds right now. Ralph must have told them when he summoned them.
But I didn't get them to bring in the people from the other two boats. These few people are enough.
"You've got to take us back, Bill." Lawrence said, "You brought us to this place, and you got off halfway...... Hum. ”
His words were ugly, but his tone was not accusatory, and his expression told me that he didn't want me to go because...... Reluctant......
I shook my head, "I'll leave everything to Ralph for the rest of the day." We've lived and died together for so long, so don't you have a problem. ”
No one spoke.
"Bill, you'd better think about this, it's not a joke." Ralph said.
"I know you're worried about me or ......," I waved my hand, "I'm going to be fine, and I'm in this group...... You have gathered them together since they were in Nanhai Town, and they know you more than me, and they trust you, love you, and are willing to listen to you. I said.
"I have more important things to do." I looked at Green, "This thing...... Very important. ”
"We can help you, let's come together, let's go together!" Lawrence said. "We are brothers."
I looked at him and smiled, "You go back and settle her down, you're not a boy anymore...... You...... Taking care of two women is not only about your good health, but also listening to Ralph for everything, you are sometimes too impulsive. I said.
"You say this like your last words! What's wrong with you? Or do you have a good idea in your smart head? Bill...... You still have to decide a lot of things. Ralph said with a frown.
"That's it...... What is it that makes you ...... suddenly? It's like a different person. Green's tone was full of concern.
"This guy...... Often the head is on the wrong string. It's ...... today," Ralph shook his head.
"I'm not crazy, I'm not stupid, it's none of your business...... This thing...... It's not good for you. "I look at Green." After I go back, Ralph will arrange it for you, I have already explained the matter, live well, don't do anything because of a little money, we will not be reinforcements in the north, and no one will get used to us. ”
"That's enough money for you to live, to get married, and have children. But be sure to control your mouth, your hands and feet. I hope that when I see you again, there will be fewer deaths, or that no one will serve you a pot. "I look at Ralph." You'll take care of that. ”
I didn't try to persuade them, but the expressions on the faces of these people told me that their feelings for me were still in place. I'm very satisfied with that.
When I finished packing, I found that the sky in the south looked like it was about to clear, and the sky in the north, which was still gloomy, was in stark contrast to the south.
"When I get ashore, the sky will clear." I said to Ralph.
"When did you learn to predict the weather?" He handed me the package and followed him aboard.
"I said I had the power of a prophet."
"Did you know anything before you left?"
I didn't answer him.
After putting me on the shore, the clouds in the north really receded very quickly. I pointed to the sea to the north. "I'm not wrong."
Ralph and Lawrence looked at the sky and turned their faces to look at me with a strange expression.
"I'm leaving...... Take care. ”
The two nodded. "You have to go back alive, and when Mary gives birth, I will have my son recognize you as his godfather."
"Hah!" I burst out laughing. "You'd better control your lower body before you go back to the north." I looked at Ralph and said, "Mind him." ”
"And ...... You'd better register a company in Gilneth or something. Don't divide all the money when you go back, there's nothing wrong with letting them go down for a long time. Well...... There must be someone in this group who can't control themselves, once the money leaks...... It's dangerous. ”
Ralph nodded. "I've got it."
"There will be a date later!"
"We'll see you later,......" they held out their hands to me.
I turned and walked into the woods behind me, without looking back, without looking back. When the horn sounded on the sea for a long time, I was really a little reluctant to give up...... I will see them again...... bar. I smiled and strode forward.
Suddenly, I felt a very strange feeling when I was alone again, this was different from what I was doing when I went out to investigate or something. I still have a place to go out to investigate, but now it's completely different.
My backpack wasn't easy, and Ralph was afraid that if I didn't find food, I would starve to death, and the food in it would last a week. And this guy actually secretly packed me with a bag of gold coins! I laughed when I saw this.
I hung the shield that Lothar gave me on the side of my backpack, and I always felt comfortable touching this shield, not only because it was given by Lothar, but also because it was very light and unexpectedly strong.
The weapons of the Naga are indeed much stronger than those forged by humans, not only are they very good at swords, but their spears are not only weapons, they are completely works of art. I told Ralph that the Naga weapons in the cabin should not be shown to the north lightly, as they alone would cause a great sensation in aristocratic circles.
I counted the feathered arrows in my quiver, and there were twenty-four in all. I always think of that black arrow when I overhaul my bow...... And the way Sylvanas looked at me. Now I still remember her cold eyes and delicate facial features.
Will I ever see her again...... I really want to see her again.
When I returned to the field, I slept soundly, and when I woke up the next morning, I stretched out beautifully, I hadn't slept so sweetly in a long time. There was no sound last night, no hallucinations. Energized again, I walked west along the coastline, and I figured that the place where we landed this time must be further west than the last time, but I don't really want to see anyone for the time being, so let me relax and relax in the wilderness.
Hunting around the coast is not a difficult task, especially with a bow and arrows, and it is easy and pleasant to shoot a bird when you really don't find the prey.
And so I walked along the coastline for three days. Because I had never found any trace of people, I began to retreat. It is an indisputable fact that the land in the west must be sparsely populated. But it didn't seem like a way for me to go this way, and I was under the impression that the result of doing so was that I might never see any more humans.
This land should be called the Valley of Thorns all the way to the south!
Walking on the beach that day, I suddenly saw a fishman on the beach in front of me...... I hurried into the woods, and as I ran, I looked back and saw a dense crowd of fish-men pouring out of the sea.
Could it be that these monsters will follow the tide up and down as soon as the tide is high?
I stood under the tree and looked back, the last bits of dark red afterglow disappearing into the sea. Still, the contrast between the sea and the beach allowed me to barely see the little monsters. But the things didn't mean to stop, they came in patches into the woods in my direction.
They purr strangely from their mouths, and each fish-man purr makes the whole beach noisy.
I can't look here, the bunch doesn't stop at all, they're coming towards the woods. There are too many! The sight left the hairs on my back upside down.
Hurry back into the woods, that's the only thing I can do. But...... The woods are dark at night! It's okay today, although it's not that you can't see your fingers, but what is under your feet is all about feeling and luck.
I didn't dare to light a torch...... Because these fish-men have gone into the woods!
When things go wrong, there must be demons, this sentence remains unchanged for eternity. Once the fish crowd enters the woods, the sound they make is simply terrifying, not to mention the hoop, the sound they make is as terrifying as the ghost who is asking for his life has come to me.
Aside from groping my way forward, I listened to all the noises around me. Slowly, the sounds of the fish-men weakened, weakened...... Gone!
I leaned under a big tree, and then I realized that it was really inconvenient to carry such a thing on my back! Taking a breath, I had no intention of going back to find out what was going on. Let's talk about the big things until dawn.
Pulling my climbing paw out of my pocket, I climbed up the tree. Or is it safer to be on the top of a tree...... Convenient.
Thankfully, Ravenhold often slept in the trees, and the night was over. But when I felt a chill on my neck, I was awakened. And this time I opened my eyes and I felt like I was almost peeing!
A snake is crawling past my neck!
There are red stripes in this yellow-black pattern, especially this red makes my head buzz!
I didn't dare to catch it directly, first, I didn't know if I could drag him down and throw it down, and I didn't know if it would bite me if I caught it! What if it's poisonous!
I gritted my teeth and watched the snake lying on my neck, and it didn't continue to move, it lay on my warm neck!
The snake, with the thick arm of the child, is not small, although it will definitely not kill me if it is not poisonous, but this is too scary!
It doesn't matter how the snake came up, the problem now is that I don't know how long it is, but I guess it's probably the length of a man!
I slowly plucked the spear from the branch and slowly held it in my hand. I didn't dare to turn my neck, for fear that it would sense that I was moving and it would not work against me. I slowly extended the tip of the gun towards its body...... I tried to put the tip of the gun through the slit in its body and pick him down.
But this invisible movement made me feel so nervous that I couldn't breathe, and when the tip of my gun slowly stretched out, the snake moved!
It moves!
The feeling of its scales scraping against my neck made me tremble unconsciously! It's so insane!
But before the tip of my spear could reach out, the snake's head came out! How to describe the feeling in my heart when I saw this scene! It's scared, it's nausea, it's the feeling of panic.
The snake's head is the size of my hand! Those black eyes stared at the tip of my spear, and the letter that came out of it made me feel scared to death!
The tip of the gun flickered, and the snake's head dodged, and at this moment, my right hand stretched out and grabbed the snake neck sticking out from the upper right side of my head.
The snake didn't react, but when I caught it like this, its head slammed! It was so strong that I almost dropped it, but I threw away the spear in my hand and grabbed its body with my left hand.
The snake's body is very long, and as soon as its head is caught, its body twists and twists directly against my neck and wraps around my arm! It's a ...... feeling Indescribable!
I jerked! But the snake body wrapped around my arm!
Either I die or it dies! I gritted my teeth and tried to strangle the snake, but with the greatest strength of my two hands, the power of the anger that came with this fear was enormous.
I lowered my chin so hard that the snake's body was writhing, and I couldn't let the snake get around my neck!
Hold on to it with both hands, and pull it forward vigorously, one shot! Twice! I don't know how long it took to drag, but the snake finally softened. But I still don't dare to let go! When the snake was about to fall, I pulled out the dagger from my waist with my left hand and poked it into the snake's neck.
The snake's scales prevented my dagger from penetrating, so I leaned over with my right hand and slipped the dagger through the crack in the snake's mouth. When I broke the snake's head, I let go and the snake fell from the tree!
That's when I breathed a sigh of relief!
Looking at the snake thrown under the tree, a middle-aged man appeared under the tree, he first looked at the snake under the tree, and then looked up at me.
He picked up the spear under the tree!
