Chapter 66: The Tomb Boulder
Savin and the others did not light a fire because they only had a short rest, and at this time Savin could only rely on the moonlight to distinguish the surrounding situation, only to hear the sound of the grass gradually approaching, and a black shadow with a cat's waist quietly came out of the grass. The dark shadow approached the sleeping people, and a bright scimitar appeared in his hand in the moonlight, and Sawin said to himself, "It turns out that he is a bandit who kills people and exfiltrates goods, so I don't have to be polite to you." ”
Sawin tensed, and when the black shadow passed in front of him, he burst out of his hiding place with lightning speed, and pounced on the other party, the black shadow was thrown to the ground before he could dodge, and let out a miserable scream: "Oops!" This scream immediately woke everyone up, and at the same time there was a loud noise in the grass, apparently this man had other companions, but because of this scream, they were scared away. This means that Savan has no experience, and if he were a veteran like Hortz, he would definitely stun the bandits silently, so as not to scare away his comrades.
Sawan held the other party firmly under him, and the man struggled desperately for a while, and seeing the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, he simply stopped moving, and honestly waited for the attack. At this time, Larry and the others had already gathered around and asked, "Savan, what's going on?"
Sawin laughed, "I caught a thief, he sneakily came with a knife, and I caught him in one fell swoop." After saying that, Sawin couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, thinking that the others would definitely praise him. Unexpectedly, everyone frowned when they heard Savan's words, and one of them said somewhat complainingly: "Savan, you can't do this, you should quietly notify us first, or quietly knock this person unconscious, and then find a way to capture his companions, you made such a big move and scared his accomplices away." ”
Savin's eyes widened after hearing this, he didn't think of these things at all, it turned out that there was so much attention to catching a thief, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed in his heart, not because of the criticism of others, but because he was a little disappointed in himself, he was still too tender. Seeing the disappointed expression on Savin's face, Larry quickly pulled the man's clothes, and then smiled at Savin: "Savin, you have done a good job, you have done your duty, as for ...... Those experiences, you will slowly understand later. ”
Sawan didn't speak, only nodded, and then pointed to the man he had captured, and Larry understood what he meant, so he said, "Let's deal with this, you go and rest first." ”
Larry and the others quickly tied up the thief, and then picked him up, only to see that the man's face was covered with a black mask, and only two eyes were exposed. Larry ripped off his mask and saw a guy with a brain, hooked nose, and green skin, "Goblin!"
Larry immediately recognized that this guy was the gang of bandits who besieged him last time, but he didn't expect these guys to still commit crimes in this area, they are really thieves! Larry was angry and picked up his fist and hit this goblin in the stomach, that guy was beaten by Larry and vomited again and again, and a lot of saliva flowed out of his wide mouth, and everyone around him avoided in disgust.
A few of the people in his group were good at torture, and Larry usually left this kind of thing to them, and he didn't want to do it himself. Larry beckoned a few people to him, and then made a look, it was not the first time that several people had done this kind of thing, and they immediately understood what Larry meant. A few men led the goblin to the side of the grass, and a moment later they heard the goblin let out a scream that sounded particularly terrifying in the dark night.
It was the first time for Savin and Eliza to experience this kind of thing, and their faces were blue for a while and white for a while, and they always felt very different in their hearts. Although Sawan was uncomfortable, he had heard of this kind of thing before, not only had Ohiris mentioned it to him, but it was also recorded in some human books, and Eliza was exposed to this kind of thing for the first time, her little face turned white, and her hands became cold.
It didn't take long for the goblins to come back and whisper in Larry's ear for a while, and Larry couldn't stop nodding, but his face became more and more solemn. After listening to the report, Larry pondered for a moment and said, "Take that goblin with you, and we'll leave as soon as it's dawn." ”
Larry gathered everyone together again at this time and said to everyone: "The goblins we caught just now have already confessed, they have also found a team in the south area, there are more people than us, it seems that other mercenary groups have also arrived, but we already know the detailed location, we should be able to arrive one step ahead of them." Next, we will eat something first, and then we will leave as soon as it is dawn, and try to meet the regiment commander as soon as possible......"
After Larry gave the order, everyone immediately took action, eating what should be eaten, cleaning up what should be cleaned up, and the whole camp was lively again. While everyone was busy eating, Eliza took a piece of dry food and came to the bound goblin, put it in the goblin's hand, and said, "Let's eat this for you." The goblin stared at Eliza with big round eyes, and he didn't seem to understand why his enemies would give him food.
Seeing this, Eliza thought that he did not understand her own language, so she pointed to the dry food and then to her mouth. The goblin was saying something with his mouth open, and Eliza couldn't understand what he meant, so she turned her head to look at Sawan with a pleading look. Sawin shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand what the goblins were talking about, and Eliza sighed and turned back to Savan.
Seeing that the sky was already faintly white, Larry urged everyone to set off immediately, and everyone walked again to the depths of the red clay mountain in the morning dew. The deeper you go into the mountains, the more difficult the road becomes, and the red soil is hard to see, replaced by gray gravel all over the ground, and all around is broken rock. Led by Larry, the team turned into a very narrow ravine, and it was believed that it would be difficult for anyone to find this place without someone leading the way.
After walking along the ravine for an unknown amount of time, the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and in some places only one person could pass through, Savin couldn't help but feel that only one person in this place could stop thousands of troops. Just when everyone suspected that there would never be an end to this ravine, they suddenly heard a voice in front of them. Larry smiled and said to the crowd, "We're here." ”
Everyone sighed in unison, this place is really good, and the person who would build the mausoleum here must be a madman. As I walked along with the sound, the front suddenly opened up, and the narrow ravine turned into a small valley, and the ravine came to an end here. There were seven or eight tents in the valley, and when the regimental commander Hortz and others saw everyone coming, they all greeted them, and Larry immediately pulled Hortz aside to exchange information with each other.
Sawin looked around, but no matter how he looked, he didn't find any shadow of the ancient tomb, so he casually found someone and asked, "Where is the ancient tomb, why can't you see it?"
The man had arrived in advance, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't seen it yet, have you seen the big rock over there?" and he pointed to a boulder in the southeast corner of the valley. Sawin followed his finger and saw a huge rock next to the edge of the mountain wall. The man continued: "I heard from the head of the regiment that the tomb is behind the big stone. We tossed and turned for a day, and we couldn't move the stones. ”
Sawan walked towards the boulder, looked back and forth, and said to himself, "I'm afraid I can't move such a big stone, I don't know how many people will need to move it." ”
At this point, Larry and Hortz had already come up with a rough idea, it was almost impossible to move such a huge rock, perhaps only the legendary Titans could do it. But it's not impossible, Hortz has carefully observed in advance, this boulder is almost the size of the top and bottom, although it can't be moved, but if you gather the strength of everyone, maybe you can pull it down, before Hortz came in a hurry and didn't bring many things, now Larry is here, all kinds of tools are complete, this plan can be implemented immediately.
Hots instructed a few nimble men to climb to the top of the boulder, then use tools to cut holes in the boulder, and then drive huge iron nails into the holes. When the nails were secured, Hortz had the thick ropes bolted to the nails, and when everything was ready, Hotts ordered the people to start pulling the ropes.
"Hey!" shouted fifty or sixty people together and pulled the rope hard, and the tight rope made a "creaking" sound, but the boulder still did not move. Hortz frowned, and said in his heart that it would be good if he brought all the people, this time in order to avoid publicity, he only brought more than fifty people, and there were more than a hundred people in other places, but it was too late to transfer people now. Larry didn't expect the boulder to be so heavy, and perhaps there was a more labor-saving solution, such as explosives......
But Larry quickly rejected the idea, using explosives would be too loud, so even if the boulder was blown open, I was afraid that other mercenary groups would find it, and then there might be a fierce battle, which was not the result he wanted.
