Chapter Eighty-Five: Waiting in Lurk
Under the leadership of Pan Qiu, the speed of Lucius's march increased significantly, and the demonic beasts hidden in the misty forests along the way could not get close to the three of them at all under the attack of Lucius's powerful firearms.
"Roaring ......" accompanied by a powerful dragon roar, the mist in the forest was sprayed away by the dragon's breath, and the monsters that hid their whereabouts through the mist were suddenly exposed to the eyes of the three people, and before Beluti and Pan Qiu could react, the dragon's breath from the muzzle of Lucius's gun had already burned those monsters to ashes.
The two muskets that Lucius tweaked along the way were now more powerful than ever.
Even Beluti, who has always scoffed, has to marvel at the power of Lucius's modification technology.
Staring at the angry dragon in Lucius's hand, and seeing the dragon's mouth on the spear head closing one by one, Pan Qiu couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really amazing, it turns out that magic and machinery can be combined like this." ”
Hearing Pan Qiu's admiration, Lucius did not have any complacency or smugness, and calmly took the angry dragon into his waist.
Then he turned to look at Pan Qiu and asked, "Mr. Pan Qiu, how long do we have to get out of the misty forest?"
Lucius's sudden inquiry made Pan Qiu stunned for a moment.
But soon Pan Qiu came to his senses and said, "Your Excellency, we can get out of the misty forest not far ahead, and I believe that if we don't encounter monsters along the way, we will be able to reach the barley field in three days." ”
"Well, three days? Looks like we need to speed up, and I guess Auntie and they're probably already on their way. ”
Hearing this, Beludi asked a little puzzled: "How do you know that the aunt has already set off?"
Lucius smiled confidently and said: "Hehe, it's very simple, because according to the temper of the aunt, as long as she knows the exact location of the barley field, she will definitely be eager to make a move, she will not watch the people of Brenos go hungry, so according to the time calculation, she should have taken people to set off." ”
"I can't see it, but you know Du Liniang very well?"
For Belletti's intentional sarcasm, Lucius didn't care, but shrugged his shoulders and said disapprecitatively: "Actually, this matter is easy to analyze, and the aunt's temper is there." ”
"Alright, well, great analyst Lecius, let's keep going. ”
Obviously, Belletti has been a little overheaded by Lucius's nagging analysis, and can only change the topic by hurrying.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he could see Beluti's thoughts, and Lucius turned to Pan Qiu with a smile and said, "Okay, let's continue on our way." ”
Escorted by Lucius's endless heavy firearms, the three of them were barely hindered and walked out of the misty forest.
He walked northeast for about two days along the edge of the misty forest, and in the distance he saw a field of wheat shrouded in holy light.
Seeing the wheat fields that were about to ripen, Pan Qiu said with some excitement: "Praise the God King, I really can't imagine that the king's protection is still there, and it is intact, as long as the barley field is not invaded by monsters, Brrenos will have a day to rebuild, really, it is really good." ”
As he spoke, Pan Qiu, who was already excited and shed tears, immediately wanted to run in the direction of the barley field.
But before he could take a step, he was pulled by Lucius: "Wait, something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong?" Pan Qiu looked at Lucius suspiciously.
Lucius groaned and said, "Think about it, this wheat field is not far from the Misty Forest, and when the monsters rushed out of the Misty Forest, they didn't find it? Why didn't there leave even a trace here? Even if it was protected by Konstantin's miracles, wouldn't Konstantin's miracles decay in two or three years?"
"Lucius, you don't understand, not only is he protected by the king, but he is also blessed by the goddess of nature in the temple of nature, so that this land will not be polluted by any monsters. ”
Hearing this, Lucius was quite sneering, but when he saw Pan Qiu's excited expression, he didn't say anything to interrupt the other party.
"Moreover, the facilities on the entire farm were made by the technicians of the Brotherhood, and every qiē on the farm was taken care of by all kinds of machinery manufactured by the Brotherhood, from planting to harvesting, as well as threshing and storage, there was no need for labor at all, and those machines would also protect the farm. ”
Pan Qiu's account surprised both Lucius and Belutti.
Neither of them expected that the seemingly huge farm in front of them would not only be blessed by the goddess of nature, but also completely managed by mechanical demons.
However, Lucius was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Quietly listening to Pan Qiu's words, he still said with some doubts: "I still think it's inappropriate, even if there is the blessing of the goddess of nature, and the protection of the mechanical demon spirit of the Brotherhood, it shouldn't even be without a trace, those monsters themselves have no brains, how can they let go of this place lightly?"
After thinking about it, Lucius continued: "Unless, someone deliberately set up a game and is waiting for the aunt to enter the game. ”
Hearing Lucius say this, Beluti asked with some puzzlement: "Didn't you say before that someone might have designed to besiege Du Liniang and them? Now you say that those monsters have no brains, don't you think you don't have a preface and a later word?"
"No, I said before that aunt they may be besieged by monster design, because I think that those monsters may wait here, and then stop aunt from transporting food. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the empty barley field and said, "But look at the present? This place is empty, there is no sound at all, and it is calm like a paradise, which does not conform to the habits of those monsters at all, isn't the purpose of those monsters to destroy it? How can it be that this place is spared?"
Hearing Lucius's analysis, Belletti did not continue to raise any further objections.
Looking at the calm barley field in front of them, and in connection with Lucius's analysis, Beluti and Pan Qiu gradually felt that something was wrong.
After a moment of silence, Berluti asked Lucius in a low voice, "So what do we do now?"
"Wait ......"
Lucius's answer was very direct: "Before we find out the specific situation of this farm, we must not act at will, we can only hide here and wait quietly, I believe that it will not be long before the aunt and they should also arrive, and then the matter will naturally become clear." ”
"You mean, you're going to let Du Liniang and them lure out the monsters that may be hiding in the shadows?"
Seeing Lucius nodded, Beluti immediately mocked: "Hmph, aren't you also greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Hey, how can this be called greed for life and fear of death? I call this brave and strategic, I don't want to rush out and die in a daze. ”
Belletti turned her head away from the words, ignoring Lucius's arguments.
Seeing that Beludi turned his head and ignored himself, Lucius did not continue to defend himself, but lay on his back in the lush and tall grass, closed his eyes and said, "I'll rest first, if there is any movement, remember to wake me up." ”
Seeing that Lucius really fell asleep not long after, Pan Qiu was so frightened that his heart rose to his throat, for fear that a monster would suddenly attack the three of them.
For a moment, Pan Qiu fell into a high degree of tension, and his mind was highly concentrated, paying close attention to the movements around him.
As time went on, Pan Qiu, who was highly nervous, became a little restless.
And the tranquility around him and Lecius's calm breathing intensified Pan Qiu's uneasiness in his heart, and he began to feel as if there was a pair of eyes around him staring at him, and his every move was under the gaze of those eyes, he was like a prey being targeted by a hunter, and the hunter was waiting for an opportunity to attack him.
Pan Qiu's nervousness and restlessness were naturally seen by Belute.
Although she didn't know what Lucius's intentions were in doing this, Beludi could clearly feel that Pan Qiu's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
Now all it takes is a straw, which is enough to completely crush Pan Qiu's spirit.
Finally, as the sun set over the misty forest, the red glow of dusk turned the earth red.
After a long period of tension, Pan Qiu's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
"Hmm......" With a comfortable gasp, Lucius opened his eyes and stretched, "I slept so well." ”
When he opened his eyes, he saw Pan Qiu with a tired face, and before Pan Qiu could speak, Lucius raised his hand and punched Pan Qiu, directly knocking the other party unconscious.
Then he met Beluti's surprised eyes and sighed, "What a dead eye." ”
"Hehe......" Hearing this, Beludi couldn't help laughing, "It's not that this guy is dead-eyed, it's that you're full of bad water, I'm afraid you're deliberately testing him by doing this?"
Lucius did not deny it, but said to Beluti: "You also rest and rest, I'm afraid, auntie, they won't be able to come today." ”
Belletti shook her head and said, "I don't need to rest, you know. ”
As she spoke, Belletti looked at Lucius again and said, "Seeing that you always look cynical, aren't you worried at all?"
"Worried, worried about what?"
Listening to Lucius's rhetorical question, Beluti stretched out her hand to support her forehead and said: "You are really relieved, although those three will fight with each other, they may not let you go, you don't worry about the past of this monster disaster, those three will join forces to destroy you first? After all, you are the descendant of the founder." ”
"yes, it's a bit dangerous when you say that. ”
Lucius scratched his head and said, "If those three guys join forces to destroy me first, then they will be able to get the inheritance of the founder? ”
"Having said that, no one will give up the power at their fingertips lightly, not to mention, the magical civilization has begun to decay. ”
Hearing this, Lucius immediately exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh, is that so?" Belloty, don't scare me, I know, you will protect, right?"
At first, Beludi was startled by Lucius's sudden panic.
When he listened to Lucius's words, he immediately understood that he was being tricked by the other party.
I couldn't help but reach out and give Lucius a shiver and said, "Get out, you're such a bastard." ”
To Belude's surprise, Lucius did not return the favor to her, nor did he even say a word, but crawled in the grass and listened quietly.
Seeing this, Belletti wanted to ask, but was stopped by Lucius and told her to keep quiet.
After waiting for a few more moments, there was a rustling sound, and Beludi looked at Lucius in surprise, and the latter grinned excitedly and said, "Haha, it's finally here." ”
