Chapter 143: On the Other Side of the Mountain
The woman who didn't know the height of the sky just now was gone!
"I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's go. Lanaya patted Arno and Eleanor on the shoulder from behind. Fortunately, her flickering dagger didn't take back the ring after the last time it was used against Da Wang, otherwise she wouldn't have the psionic energy to take out the flickering dagger, and it would be difficult to escape under the big man's nose without being discovered.
Arnold nodded, ready to leave, when he suddenly said, "Lanaya, I haven't finished talking yet...... When Grint came to me yesterday, I told them all to come, but they seemed to have something going on and couldn't come. ”
Lanaya was slightly stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
"It's a bit complicated...... I guess I'd better get out of here first. ”
So they withdrew from the perimeter, and the big man was still looking around the wall for the shadow of Lanaya, afraid that he could not find even a hair. Unable to find Lanaya, the big man walked towards the soldiers of the Sunset Legion again, shouting, "What are you doing in a daze, take me to the king!"
The soldiers stepped back again and again, "See...... Seeing that the king is not up to us, you have to go to the ...... first."
Ranaya couldn't hear what they were saying next, but she was sure that the man would soon be recognized.
Without psionic energy, Lanaya was very depressed, so she couldn't even engrave the magic circle. But she always wanted to stay in this city for a few more days, the road was far away, and she finally came, and she was unwilling to return in vain.
In any case, you have to feel the situation here, at least the route and the terrain.
Arnold told Lanaya that the missing girl named Grace, who looked like Zovini, had been found, and that they had planned to go back to the teleportation station yesterday evening, but when they went out of the city and into the depths of the forest, they found a pinch of red in the distance, and they walked over to see that the girl had hanged herself on a tree, and through the strands of hair, she could see that her face was painted with red totems, and her original clothes were gone, only a few vines were wrapped around her body. The whole body was also stained with undried red stains, but it was not blood, and when the blood dried, it would turn slightly yellow and black, but this was pure red, like the flowers blooming in hell.
......
There weren't many things that would have made Lanaya look so surprised. The girl's death, Lanaya sketched out in her mind almost as Arnold described it. She'd seen, seen someone die like this at a very young age!
It is a form of sacrifice in which people must offer sacrifices every other day in order to keep the evil demons from harming people for a while.
And the dead people Ranaya had seen were her parents!
My heart was beating fast, as if that day had happened again. As soon as the image of Grace's red shadow dangling slightly in the trees came to mind, Lanaya felt as if she was standing in that infinitely dim and narrow space, a space filled with the smell of blood.
"They've been found by demons?" Ranaya asked, still gasping for breath.
Arnold was stunned: "What is a demon?"
“...... It's a particularly wicked and ferocious beast. ”
Arnold pondered for a moment, then continued: "Later, they said that they had encountered a particularly terrifying-looking beast. Ted said that the beast only attacked the red-haired virgin. Zovini she ......"
"What's wrong with Zovinie?" Ranaya had never been so nervous, and the person who was close to her a few days ago was now uncertain...... In retrospect, the task assigned by Lanaya to Zhuo Vini in Yunmu City seems to be much more difficult than the others, although she didn't have time to ask Zhuo Vini where she went later, why she didn't report to her about the Lester patriarch, but Lanaya believed that Zhuo Vini must not have done it on purpose, and it must have been a special situation that did not report to her! Lanaya could feel that Zhuo Weini's heart was still towards this group, otherwise she would not have agreed to the task that Lana gave her in one bite!
You can't be self-centered anymore. More often than not, the safety of your companions is more important than the mission!
"What a strange beast. Eleanor squeezed her nose and said.
Lanaya glanced at Eleanor and didn't say anything, just listened to Arnold, "Zovinie said that she had long hated her red hair, and dyed it black that afternoon. ”
When Lanaya heard this, she seemed to have guessed the ending, so she breathed a sigh of relief and asked instead, "Why do you want to dye it black?"
In fact, Lanaya meant why she didn't dye it in a different color, but Arnold didn't seem to understand, he glanced at Lanaya suspiciously, and asked rhetorically as if he was doubting someone's IQ: "Isn't that strange beast only looking for red hair?"
Lanaya decided to stop the conversation and continued, "What about after dyeing black?"
"It's useless to dye it black, the beast is looking for the red-haired one. It seems to be visible. ”
The heartstrings that had just been relaxed were pulled tightly again. "And then?"
Then the three of them fought the beast, which was a struggle, but then a few people spotted them, and finally a large group of people worked together to beat it away. ”
“......”
"But Ted said that it seems to be a demon beast, a monster. ”
"Hurry up and let them go back! Don't come to the mountain city of West Meka! There is a spatial rift on the side of the mountain city of East Meka...... It's dangerous!" Hearing the word demon, Lanaya almost blurted out. The place where Ranaya encountered the voodoo scorpion, the crystal cave in the center of the Hagoral Desert, is actually a spatial rift!
"No...... As I said at the beginning, they had something going on, they couldn't come to the hill town of Simeka, they couldn't go back, they couldn't go anywhere now. ”
"What the hell is wrong with them?" said Lanaya, a little impatient, believing that Arno was absolutely honest, but a little suspicious that Grint was trying to trick her.
"Do you know who came to the rescue? It was the caravan that day. The goods were lost, the caravan had lost a lot of money, and they had to find several members of the White Tiger Mercenary Regiment everywhere to ask Ted what they looked like...... Those people were busy dealing with the monsters at first, but after the monsters ran away, they suddenly turned their faces after seeing their appearances, and they blocked their way to the teleportation station, trying to catch them up to collect debts...... But there's no way we're going to pay for it. I don't know how they escaped later, but now they are hiding in the city, changing places every few tens of minutes, playing hide and seek with those people. ”
Lanaya was angry and amused, it seemed that these people were going to give them a turtle in an urn...... But when she thought of what she had done that day after she had drawn out the power of the Holy Spirit Armor, she couldn't laugh at all.
"Cargo?" Eleanor narrowed her eyes with a look of dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry!" Arnold quickly apologized.
Lanaya thought for a moment and said, "They can only stay in the city?"
"Yes, the people of the caravan blocked the city gates, and even spared no expense to find someone to open the no-fly field, and they couldn't get out. ”
"Why are they running to the city? Can't they run to other places outside the city?"
"You forgot, that beast just escaped, what if they do!"
Lanaya frowned, it seemed that there was really only one way to escape to the city.
Eleanor said with some regret, "If you hadn't said it, I might have been on the road to the past." ”
Eleanor has good intentions, which makes Lanaya feel a little more fond of her.
Hiding in a completely unfamiliar environment and not being found by a specific person, Ranaya can do it, but Ted and they are still children who have just entered the world, which is too difficult for them. It's not that Lanaya has never shown flaws, she doesn't know how many times more than her peers have fled experience, and when it comes to critical moments, she will naturally have her own set of methods, otherwise she would not be able to stand here now.
After listening to Eleanor's words, Arnold's opinion of Eleanor also changed, and he continued: "Now Ted they are very anxious to ask you what they should do, but you have been unconscious for a day, and they can't ask you. Lanaya, do you have any ideas?"
Lanaya fell into deep thought, she had not encountered this situation before, and of course the people who pursued her later were either escaped by her or put down by her...... But Ted and they are different, how can they have the skills and experience of Lanaya? They can't fly out, and the city gate is guarded, ...... dig tunnels?
Lanaya suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are there any goblins near East Meka Mountain City?"
Arnold was stunned for a moment, and said, "Goblins, I don't know, I only know that there are goblins on this continent, but I don't know if there are any ...... near East Meka Mountain City Do you have any ideas for a good idea?"
Lanaya thought about it, although this was very inappropriate, and there was a serious suspicion of breaking the city construction...... But for the sake of her companion's safety, she decided to tell her what she had in mind, and she said, "I want to ask the goblins to dig a tunnel leading to the outside of the city......"
Eleanor interrupted her, "Don't think about it. Although the goblins are not as capable as the anomalous, they are greedy and unsightly, and they are the self-centered waste of the group. Don't ask them for help unless you have a hill of gold!"
Knowing that the other people in the team were in trouble, even if she had a mission, Ranaya already had some thoughts in her heart that she wanted to go back, and it was not that the Xisha Empire couldn't come back for the second time, but the lost companion would never come back! However, she also knew in her heart that there were still survivors of the White Tiger Mercenary Group and the caravan, and if she didn't want to go over without thinking, she would definitely be recognized! Moreover, Ranaya is now a mortal who can't even use her spiritual energy, how can she have the ability to save her companions!
In a panic, an imperceptible light pink flame floated out of Lanaya's amethyst ring.
