Chapter 394: Found Him
"His name is Demba, and he's from Koma. A kind brother explained for him, "He can understand the barbarian language, but he can't speak, in fact, you don't have to pay attention to him, he is not very good at braining, and he has been crazy." โ
Qi Lang nodded to the brother, still asking the Demba, "Hello, Demba, what do you want to tell me?"
The black boy was excited, and his mouth was babbling. Everyone next to him shook their heads, no one could understand the strange language of the Republic of Koma. Qi Lang regretted more and more, if Major Dodim should be so good, he was proficient in various Chinese, nothing could disappoint him. Despite the incomprehensible words, Qi Lang noticed that he was pointing to the depths of Snow Wolf Canyon, as if he had made some discoveries over there.
"You mean they're locked up over there?" Qi Lang asked curiously, looking up in the direction of Demba's finger.
Demba nodded, shook his head again, and was still screaming. Qi Lang could hear it, he tried his best, and the few limited words that occasionally popped out of his mouth just said that: "Bad guy...... Dangerous...... Believe ......"
There were several wolf howls from the depths of the mountains, although they were not loud, and according to Igru's explanation, they were just wolves communicating with each other, informing their relatives and friends that the danger was gone, but Demba covered his head in horror. The poor fellow, it seems that he was really scared to the point of insanity, and hoped that he would recover from the quiet conditions of Ulla.
And as far as the current situation is concerned, it is Qi Lang himself who needs to recover more, he is really tired these days, in addition to the flying technique almost exhausting his physical strength, the main thing is psychological exhaustion, his nerves have been in a tense state. Overthinking gave him the hallucination that his brain had been drained.
The search in Snow Wolf Canyon was over, and most of the people had withdrawn to Shaki, except for Captain Steve and the newly rescued Ensign Alfred who flew over in a dragon monster, who had passed on the relevant news on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had come to urge Qi Lang to rush back to his kingdom as soon as possible. After all, the current situation has basically stabilized, but the Zong Hao Kingdom is not stable, if the king of a country is fighting outside for a long time, this news will definitely give a hostile element like Jenny a chance to take advantage of, and at the same time, the elder Henry is not very easy to face.
Qi Lang had no reason to stay here any longer. Although the fate of Mr. Zhulai and Major Dodim is still unknown, on the whole, the operation was remarkably successful - most of the missing people were rescued, and the crisis at Creden was largely eliminated, as for the missing snow wolf and the god of vengeance. They can't become the climate anymore.
For the god of vengeance and the small number of Credon who slipped through the net, old Henry didn't seem to have any intention of killing them all. With his wisdom. I should have seen all this a long time ago. They are not the embodiment of evil, because the seeds of evil are always kept in the hearts of people, and when the time is right, evil will always appear and cannot be avoided. And all he can do is do his part as best as he can. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let his empire remain peaceful, and those troubles will naturally only lie dormant for the time being, and can only wait for the right time. Wait until the next reincarnation of sin, and reappear to wake people up.
According to Captain Steve's arrangement, Qi Lang should take the dragon monster back to Shaki Town first, join Gulf, meet Prince Marcus and them, and then set off for China as soon as possible. Of course, the arrangement of the second half was entirely at the behest of Prince Marcus himself, who was unusually eager to show his good brother the results of his weight loss.
Captain Steve also reluctantly revealed the news: Marcus had stayed in Lieutenant Colonel William's official residence, and he would bother his dear father to go back obediently. For old Henry to start so slowly, Marcus was angry. It is estimated that old Henry will be satisfied with that condition, after all, his dear son has lost a lot of fat, and it is estimated that even if Lieutenant Colonel William provides him with barbecue three meals a day, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover his perfect body in the short term.
Qi Lang accepted this suggestion and set off for Xia Qi Town early that morning, but instead of riding the dragon monster, he went on the road alone, intending to cross the Snow Wolf Canyon again. In terms of safety, Captain Steve is not too worried, after all, Credon has been basically cleared, and the enemies who can pose a personal threat to Qi Lang in this world can be called rare animals, all he is worried about is whether Qi Lang will appear before lunch as Marcus requested, because the fog in the Snow Wolf Canyon has filled again, even if Qi Lang has run several laps inside, he still has a good chance of getting lost in it.
Captain Steve and Ensign Alfred didn't try to persuade him seriously, because they had already seen the stubbornness of the sergeant, and at the same time, they were hopeful, after all, there were too many miracles that had happened to Qi Lang, and maybe he would bring back a surprise on this trip - if Major Dodim was really found by him, it would be a great thing, even better than Marcus's loss.
That's exactly what Qi Lang was thinking. The direction that the black lad named Demba was pointing in was not useless, and after a whole night of thinking, Qi Lang felt that he had guessed what he was trying to say, but that conjecture still needed to be verified.
The direction that Demba pointed to was on the northeast side of the Snow Wolf Canyon, and Qi Lang had some impressions in that direction, as he had judged before, that Major Dodim's breath was moving in that direction at that time, and there was a path that led to the Black Forest in a zigzag way, and the time Marcus was ghosted, Qi Lang, Owu, Gulf and Jira entered the Snow Wolf Canyon through that path, and it was there that Qi Lang encountered Creden for the first time.
It was an extremely hidden path, and it was estimated that the soldiers had missed it. But Qi Lang was sure that he would not miss it, because he had a good guide like Igru, and as the original resident of Snow Wolf Canyon, he was very familiar with every corner of this place, and the possibility of getting lost could be completely ruled out.
The fog was heavy in the early morning, even heavier than the previous day's fighting, but now there was no blood. The wolves howled one after another, as if they were informing each other that knives and forks were ready, and that breakfast had been delivered. But Igro's haughty cries soon silenced them, and Qi Lang could hear it clear that Igrรณ was warning his people that it was not food that had returned, but their great benefactor.
After following Iglu for more than two hours, Qi Lang was approaching the destination of the trip. Unsurprisingly, it's off the beaten track, with narrow roads between the cliffs, and there are many places that even Igru has difficulty traversing.
Along the way, Iglu had been carefully searching for his brother's breath, but he found nothing. The snow wolf must have departed in anger after the ruse failed, and he should indeed be looking for a new way out, at least in the Luman Empire, where his plot had already been discovered.
"We're almost there. Igro raised his nose in alarm, sniffing carefully in the air, "The smell here is a little unsettling to me, like he has identified this place as his own territory, and even my brother can't easily enter it. โ
"That's just the smell of urine, isn't it?" Qi Lang glanced at Iglu. He was still nervous, and it seemed that this was not the usual way of marking territory for the wolf.
"You guessed it wrong. Iglu showed patience with Qi Lang's ignorance, "Our urine is only used to intimidate other animals, and against powerful opponents, we snow wolves have even more terrifying methods, like the kind of manipulation of dead bodies. It's going to be creepy, and there's a chill feeling deep inside. โ
"But I don't seem to feel that way......" Qi Lang tried to experience the chill with his heart, but he didn't succeed, and the feeling of horror didn't find him as he hoped.
Iglu snorted softly: "He can't affect you, because you are more powerful than your powerful opponent......" Just as Qi Lang was still waiting for Iglu's further explanation, Iglu suddenly seemed to have discovered something.
"Someone, there's someone here!" Igroul sniffed carefully, "Don't you feel it? It's not a zombie, it's not a corpse, it's the breath of a living person, it seems that we are worth the trip, he must be the person you are trying to find." โ
"Really?" Qi Lang narrowed his eyes suddenly, and at the same time spread his perception ability. Sure enough, just five hundred meters or so in front of him, there was indeed a faint aura there, and that aura was peaceful and quiet, obviously the aura emitted by the spiritual power of the brave warriors.
Is that him? Major Dodim?
Nervousness came up, and Qi Lang's voice involuntarily became low, "Are you sure he's still alive, right, Iglo?"
"I suggest you ask him yourself. Igro replied indifferently, "Don't you have a lot of questions you want to ask him for?"
Qi Lang froze in place all of a sudden, and his eyes began to become hesitant: "I don't know...... Oh my God, maybe I shouldn't have thought that...... Maybe I shouldn't have been here at all. โ
"But you're here, Sergeant Qi Lang. Dodim's voice rang out from the other side of the fog, still so cordial, and there seemed to be a sense of relief in it, "How can you just give up on your former commander?"
The fog cleared, and Dodim was sitting on a rock, smiling at Qi Lang and Igru: "I order you, Sergeant Qi Lang, to walk with me, we have a lot to talk about." (To be continued......)
