Chapter 17: The First Sight of Vindictiveness
Before Wang Yong and Kevin had gone far, they heard shouts and screams from behind, as well as the popping sound of weapons slashing into their skin.
Wang Yong and Kevin didn't dare to look back, they just ran forward with their heads bored, because it was dark, the torches were gone, and they couldn't see the environment in front of them clearly.
In this way, after running for an unknown amount of time, I couldn't hear the shouting and killing, and Wang Yong, Kevin, and Carl couldn't run anymore, so they found a place with dense vines to hide and rest.
Wang Yong counted the people who came with him, but there were only three of them, Kevin, Carl, Lev and three ruffians from the same village as them, and the other ruffians didn't know whether they hung up or ran to other places, there were only nine people in total.
Among these people, except for Lev, who has a lot of strength and some combat effectiveness, the others basically have no combat effectiveness, and in the dangerous forest, if only a few of them are there, there is little hope that they can get out alive.
I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually turned white, and the little light on the horizon also brought everyone hope to live, and at the same time let everyone vaguely see the surrounding environment.
This is a small valley, the surrounding mountains are not high, twenty or thirty meters, the slope is about forty degrees, Wang Yong remembers that they rolled down from above.
The place where Wang Yong and the others hid was under a few boulders at the bottom of the mountain, and the boulders were crawling with vines, which were just used to hide. More than 20 meters away, Wang Yong also saw a one-meter-wide stream, the water flow was slow and there was no sound, so they didn't notice the existence of the stream when they first arrived.
There were no trees in this valley, it was a meadow, and now at the beginning of June, the meadow looks green, full of vitality and vitality.
Wang Yong sighed: "What a good place, there are mountains, rivers and rivers. ”
Lev said sadly beside him: "What a fart, let's think about how to go home first." Damn, I didn't fight a battle as a soldier, and I just ran away, what a fucking bag. Then, the topic changed, and he said sadly: "When I ran, I saw that the fat man was dead, his son was only three years old, and there was only one old father left in the family, how will they live in the future?" After speaking, Lev lowered his head and was silent, and the atmosphere became a little sad.
Seeing that everyone was depressed, Wang Yong encouraged everyone and said, "So we have to go back alive and help the dead take care of their families." Lev nodded vigorously.
Wang Yong sighed in his heart: "When I came out of the village, there were more than 80 people, and I didn't know how many would survive. ”
Wang Yong woke up the others who had fallen asleep, walked to the creek and drank a few sips of water, washed his face a few times, and was stimulated by the cold water, and felt a lot more energetic.
Seeing that everyone came to their senses, Wang Yong said to everyone with a solemn expression: "We seem to be lost, I heard that this forest is very dangerous, I think let's go east, let's go out of the forest first." Wang Yong pointed to the direction in which the sun came out.
Carl said without hesitation: "I listen to the boss, I will follow wherever you say, but the brothers are so hungry that they are about to fall into the ground, can you get some food first?"
Carl said this, Wang Yong and Kevin also felt hungry, they didn't eat last night, and they ran all night, and now they are all hungry.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Wang Yong said helplessly: "I didn't find anything to eat in this place, let's look for it while walking." With that, he took the lead and walked to the mountain to the east.
When Carl and the others saw Wang Yong get up and set off, they all hurriedly lay down by the stream and drank wildly, deciding to get a full water first.
As soon as the group climbed to the top of the mountain in the east, they vaguely noticed that several figures were shaking in the distance, and they were sneakily approaching Wang Yong and them.
Because the distance was too far, it was impossible to distinguish whether the person was friend or foe, so Wang Yong ordered everyone to find a few big trees to hide and see the situation.
When the people got closer, Wang Yong saw the appearance of the person who came, and jumped out from behind the tree, and said to the person with a smile: "Captain Vani is you." Then look at Nosen, who was not far behind Vaney, who was carrying a man on his back, and saw that it was the Lord of Thunder and Thunder.
Wang Yong's sudden jump out really scared Vani and them, Vani had already pulled out his weapon and made a defensive move, when he saw Wang Yong's face clearly, he put away his weapon, and glared at Wang Yong angrily.
Wang Yong looked behind Vani and Nuosen, and saw that there was no one else, so he asked curiously, "Is it just a few of you, what about the others?"
Vani said with a sad face, "Of our guards, only two of us Protector Lords escaped, and the others died. The other militiamen didn't see it, they probably ran in other directions, by the way, how many people are there here?" Seeing that it was his own people, Kevin and the others all came out to greet Vaney.
Wang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "There are only nine of us here. ”
Then he pointed to the thunder heel on Nosen's back, and asked with a worried face, "How is the lord?" ”
Norson replied: "The lord's leather armor has good protection, the arrow did not hurt the internal organs, and it is not life-threatening, now he is only unconscious, his body is weak and he can't walk, and he will be fine in a few days." ”
Wang Yong nodded, and seeing the dry lips of Vani, Wang Yong pointed to the valley behind him and said, "There is a stream below, let's go there and drink some water first." ”
Everyone returned to the stream, and after they drank a few sips of water and filled two kettles, Wang Yong asked Vani expectantly, "Do you know the road?"
Varney shook his head together with Nossen. Wang Yong said with some frustration: "We were going to go east just now, first go out of the forest to see the situation, and then find a way to Lizhicheng, let's go together." ”
Vanny and Nossen didn't have a better idea, so they nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it together." ”
Wang Yong glanced at Regan, who was still on Nosen's back, and then said to Varni and Nosen, "Let's make a stretcher and carry Lord Regan away, so that he will be bumpy all the way on his back, and his wounds will be difficult to heal." ”
Varni and Norson were also happy to do the same, so they worked together to find two suitable branches, Wang Yong and Kevin untied the rope from their waists, braided a net, made a very simple stretcher, and spread a thick layer of grass on the net, and then gently put Lord Reagan on it, and let Carl and them take turns to carry it.
Wang Yong didn't want the two main fighting forces, Vani and Nosen, to carry the stretcher, and he had to count on them to take action if there was danger on the road.
Wang Yong's group left the valley and cautiously marched all the way to the east, after Vani and Nuo Sen joined, there were already twelve people in the team, and Vani and Nuo Sen were still quite effective guards, although Wang Yong had never seen them shoot, but they could escape the pursuit of so many soldiers, and they could escape with the unconscious lord, so they knew that they were very unusual.
Moreover, of all of them, only Vani, Nosen, and Lev still carry weapons, and Wang Yong and Kevin are back to the era of using wooden sticks as weapons.
This is also a helpless thing, for these militiamen who have not been baptized in blood, the situation at that time, it was good to be able to escape, everyone was so nervous at that time, how could they still have time to think about bringing weapons.
After walking like this for a few hours, Vani in front of the team suddenly stopped and made a vigilant gesture, and everyone immediately became nervous when they saw this, if they encountered the pursuers of the Lawson Empire, they would definitely not be able to run away in broad daylight.
Vani and Nuo Sen picked up the big sword and stared at the grass in front of them, Wang Yong followed their gaze, only to see that after the grass shook slightly, two large and one small three black panthers suddenly burst out of it, which frightened Wang Yong into being clever.
The fur of the three panthers was jet black and shiny, like a black brocade. The eyes full of blood and coldness make people chill from the bottom of their hearts at a glance, and their fangs are as sharp as knives, exuding the breath of death.
The three black panthers jumped out of the grass and did not rush to attack, but leisurely circled around the group, looking at each human with cold eyes, and finally yelled at Vani and Nossen who were standing in front of them in dissatisfaction, expressing the anger in their hearts.
Lev, who used to be a hunter, recognized the panthers at a glance and reminded the crowd: "This is the jungle panthers, their speed."
The degree is very fast, and he likes to sneak attack from behind, and everyone defends in a circle. ”
As soon as Kelev finished speaking, he saw a flash of blue light on Vani and Norsen, and rushed towards the three black panthers with a speed that was incomprehensible to everyone.
Everyone thought that there would be a fierce battle next, and when they were about to step forward to support, Varney and Norson cut off the heads of two adult black panthers with one person and one sword before they could react and dodge, and then the two of them swung their swords together and turned around, piercing the body of the young black panther at the same time, the whole process took only two seconds at most.
Wang Yong and the others watched all this blankly, shocked by the skill and speed of Vani and Nuosen.
Wang Yong remembered that he had heard the old man in the village say that the primary profession would have the phenomenon of energy breaking the body, the warrior formed a fighting spirit to increase the speed and strength of the person, and the magician released an egg-shaped shield to wrap himself to improve the defensive power, although the knights also cultivated the fighting spirit, but after their fighting spirit was stimulated, it was to improve the defense and charging speed of the person and the mount at the same time.
Also, the primary fighting spirit is green, the intermediate fighting spirit is blue, the advanced fighting spirit is red, and no matter how high the swordsman or sword master is, there is no longer a situation in this era.
When Wang Yong and the others recovered from the shock, they walked over to look at the dead body of the black panther together, and after making sure that there was no danger, everyone drooled without exception, even Vani and Nothan.
Yes, they are all hungry, they haven't eaten all day and have been running all night, and now they are so hungry that they are almost gnawing on the bark, and now they finally see something to eat, and it is meat, how can they not drool, and since they became soldiers, there are few opportunities to eat meat, it is better to eat at home.
Vani and Nuo Sen were the first to recover, and when they saw Wang Yong and their salivating appearances, they couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's pack up these jungle panthers and take them away first, and stay away from this place to roast and eat, the smell of blood here will attract other beasts, and if we are unlucky, we will attract monsters, and at that time, we will become food for monsters." "That's it, that's it
Mali began to peel the skin and gut it by hand, and Lev was very experienced, so he also went over to help.
Wang Yong and the others watched around vigilantly, and the three of them were busy for a while, and finally only left the animal skin, body and four thighs, and nothing else, they threw them on the ground, and then cut a few arm-thick branches, and the corpse of a black panther was scurried on the branches, Wang Yong and Kevin carried one and left here in a hurry.
The group continued eastward, walked for about half an hour, and after crossing a meadow, they found a small river, and a group of people found some dead branches by the river, lit a bonfire, and began to roast meat impatiently.
The body of the jungle panther is huge, about the size of an adult buffalo, but it does not have as much fat as a buffalo, but it also weighs two or three hundred pounds.
Wang Yong and the twelve of them were really hungry, and before the panther's meat was cooked, they couldn't wait to eat it, and as they ate, they let out a satisfied moan. After a meal, twelve people ate a total of one adult and one juvenile panther, and the remaining adult panther was roasted, divided into several large pieces, wrapped and carried, ready to be eaten on the road later.
After a full meal, everyone rested for a while after a simple wash by the river, and after the food they ate began to digest and replenish some physical strength, everyone simply cleaned up and continued to hurry.
