Volume 5 The Return of the King 282 Hiding Place
Hiding in the woods is my forte, but countless experiences in the past have given me a strange affection for the woods. The most important thing I need to find at this time is water, but there can be no river here, and the water source here should be in the center of the oasis.
But not long after I walked in, I suddenly noticed a pair of glowing things, and in an instant I realized what it was, but the thoughts in my mind froze, and I suddenly came back to my senses, and then I pulled out the bow and arrow behind me.
The eyes in front of me disappeared in one fell swoop!
Lose your target in an instant!
My ears were trying to catch all the sounds around me, the woods were dark, protecting me and all the creatures that lurked in the woods. But the sound is not! The only thing I can rely on at this point is sound.
When I heard the sound of grass being trampled on the left, I made a serious mistake! This kind of mistake can only be felt by those who have experienced it, and the regret after losing the opportunity will make you feel momentarily overwhelmed. I should have shot an arrow in that direction immediately, but I didn't have time to let go of the fingers that were hooking the bowstring.
The voice continued.
Be there! It's closer!
It's coming!
Can't wait any longer!
The skill of blind shooting is not as simple as it says, what to listen to, what time to grasp, what eye is fast, this needs to be judged in a split second and the body is completely subconscious instinctive response.
The arrows were fired.
A muffled sound in the grass, and the sound of a fallen body pressing against the grass instantly made my heart feel much more at ease. But for safety reasons, I pulled out another arrow and put it on the string. After listening quietly for more than ten seconds, he walked over to the thing that had been shot down.
I guess this is the centaur dog that the elf said, it was not dead when I got close, the moonlight did not shine here, and I could vaguely see that it was a canine animal, but the dog's front kiss was a little shorter. Instead of taking the bow back, I aimed it at its head and made up for it.
Seeing that it didn't move, I pulled out two arrows, pinched them in my hand again, and slowly moved inside. After getting rid of four more dogs, I saw the moonlit lake. The range of this lake is still 200 meters, but during the day, the scope of this oasis is much larger than that of the 200-meter lake.
After filling the two water bags with water, I groped my way out and galloped all the way to my poor horse, but the problem arose again, that is, I could not find the place where I had placed it.
This is a very real problem, I have a reference when I leave during the day, but at night the reference is only the stars, but I didn't pay attention to the stars when I came! It would be interesting if you ran in the wrong direction.
Still, I decided to take a shot, it's definitely not the same to have a mount in this bird place, and besides, a centaur is a centaur! If you really provoke them, it will all depend on the mount to escape.
I was quite confused after running all night, and it was only at dawn that I felt as if I had indeed run, and when I had made great efforts to see the tree, the scene below the tree instantly chilled my heart.
A couple of lions came running out of nowhere and ate my horses clean, and now they are lying down under the trees in satisfaction without leaving.
I'm working for nothing!
I've done a lot of meaningless things, but today I was very angry. But as I raised my bow and arrows, I saw the lioness cub crawling out from behind the lioness. Looking at the little thing, I put down my bow and arrows and decided to let the beasts live. Horses can't be resurrected after death, and this group of things also has the right to live.
This should be called a disadvantage for the teacher.
When I returned to the oasis again, it was delayed for more than two days. Time is not precious to me, but for many people in this world, this war may be the difference between many things.
But as I crouched on a large tree at the edge of the oasis and observed my surroundings, I suddenly realized that the question was, could the druids really hide in such a place? If so, where are they hiding?
I feel that thinking about this problem is more important than direct action, although I can think about it while looking for it, but this place is not safe, and I don't know if the few dogs killed that day have been found by the centaurs.
As the sun had completely set, I suddenly looked at the mountains. The setting sun bestowed on the mountain what little of its splendor remained.
At this moment, I felt that maybe those druids were in the mountains! Druids love caves like rabbits love burrows, and rats love burrows. If there weren't in that mountain, this oasis wouldn't have hidden them.
I'm so proud of my ingenuity.
I didn't choose to walk through the oasis, but from outside the oasis to the closest place to the mountains. It was also in this way that I discovered the huge tribe of centaurs.
It's so big that I can't estimate how many people there are, and the tents and campfires that don't look like they can be messed with. But why didn't they run into the oasis and build houses and villages? I just don't understand.
At night, I came to the mountains, not one mountain, but three. One mountain is outside the oasis, two are within the oasis, and the mountains I see on the horizon are the ones further north that are not in the oasis.
The scope of the mountain is actually not small, and the two mountains have to be found for two days, maybe more than two days!
At last...... It's been looking for almost two days.
The entrance to that cave is indeed quite hidden, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see it.
The entrance to the cave is not facing outward, but diagonally upward. The upright and down-hanging plants at the entrance of the cave just blocked the cave. When I looked down from the mountain, I thought it was a hole, but when I walked down from below, I accidentally glanced into the pit and realized that it was a hole!
I went into the cave after pulling away the plants at the entrance of the cave, the temperature in the cave was not very high, even with a chill, the cave was very damp, and the smell of soaked earth was strong.
The cave is very deep, at least I can't see the situation inside, the soil under my feet is very soft, but the footprints left on the dirt are absolutely not wrong. Judging by the depth and length of the footprints, and the softness and hardness of the footprints, it can be judged that people have not come out of this place since they entered it, and this footprint has been around for several days.
After looking at the footprints, I walked inside for a while, but the more I went inside, the darker and colder it became, until I couldn't see anything clearly and didn't touch the end, and I retreated back to the side. I can't go inside now, this place should be the place I'm looking for, and it must be the person I'm looking for, but it's not pleasant to find myself in the dark.
The branches around the cave are absolutely not good, the torch is not light, and it has to burn long enough.
I knew the trouble, hated the trouble, but had to bear the trouble, I lurked back in the centaur tribe and scavenged a large bundle of torches. That's right, it's just a big bundle, I don't know how deep the cave is, and I don't know if it will burn out as I walked like before, so I just took a few more.
My life is a camel's life! Exotic camels.
If I had expected this, I should have asked Gianna for something that would light up, but the torch was still unreliable and too inconvenient to carry.
When I got back to the hole, I leaned over and checked the footprints on the ground again, and after making sure I was correct, I boldly stepped into the darkness.
This cave is indeed very long, and the first section is not spacious, but when I got to the inside of the cave, I found that this is also a place with a cave, and the ground is full of water, and the echo of my sound of flowing water in this empty environment is actually quite large.
There is not only one path in this cave, and I made a mark on the rock wall as I passed through the entrance. After going around for a while, I figured out the structure of the place, and I made a new discovery in the cave, which was the discovery of a corpse here.
As I passed a few more holes, I shook the torch around, trying to see what was going on around and thinking about which hole to improve, but when the light swept by, I felt as if I saw a figure, or something.
When I hurriedly pointed the torch in that direction, I found that there was a person sitting in a hole, and it was still a minotaur! Slowly walked to the side of the corpse, the corpse had already decomposed, there would be no flies in such a place, because the temperature was not very high, the corpse was quite strangely decomposed.
I don't want to poke this corpse, not only because it's rotten to the core, but it must be nothing good to have a corpse in this place. But why is this body here?
I didn't choose this cave to get into, but started looking for it from somewhere else, and the hole with the corpse seemed very unlucky.
As a result, when I passed through a cave and found that there was light in front of me, I was filled with joy, and it didn't seem wrong that I didn't choose the passage where the corpse was.
I was shocked by the sight ahead, this is a sinkhole!
At the end of the cave is a cliff, and in front of the cliff is a sinkhole, and above the sinkhole is the sky, and below the sinkhole...... There are rivers, waterfalls, plants, and many more caves.
The sunlight can't hit it directly, but the reflected sunlight doesn't make it completely dark, and the road that goes down to the bottom is really impassable. After observing the hole from which the path leading to the bottom came from, I went back and counted exactly the hole where the body was.
After stepping past the corpse, I walked along the road and followed the path to the bottom of the sinkhole. It really made me feel uncomfortable down there, and I realized that there was a huge cave underneath, as if it was a big open mouth, and this big mouth was nothing else, a lake with no end in sight.
I lifted the torch and raised two torches in a vain attempt to see the end, but in vain I could not see the end.
I don't know if the water that came down from here or if there was water flowing out of it and flowing to a place I don't know.
I don't feel good about this environment anyway, and there's a corpse on it.
Just as I was standing at the water's edge and looking at the dark cave, I suddenly felt something coming towards me in the dim distance away! I can't be mistaken about the ripples that arch over the water.
I turned around and ran backwards, and just as I turned around, I saw something coming out of the water!
That long neck and head made me feel a chill in my back instantly!
I hate snakes! Very nasty!
