Chapter 197: The Mysterious Little Stone
Nathan also saw a little unnaturalness in Lance's face, and seemed to have some concealment.
He didn't ask any more questions, smiled, and continued Lance's words.
"Brother Lance, I don't think it's exactly as you can see, although the order on the continent has been chaotic and the laws of survival have changed, but after all, there will still be good people. ”
"yes, Brother Nathan, didn't you let me meet a few yesterday? haha......"
Lance swept away the unnaturalness on his face, reached out and patted Nathan's shoulder happily.
Yes, if it weren't for Nathan and a few weak survivors, and they also had a heart to restore human order and civilization, otherwise Lance would definitely leave after sharing a portion of food, and would never have mentioned the matter of escorting them to the human gathering place.
The two of you chatted for a while, which was nothing more than arranging some things to go to Gelsa City to get food.
While the two were talking, Tifa, Creel, and Kenny Ford walked over.
"Lance, here's this, you must pay attention to safety when you go to Gelsa City today. ”
It was Tifa who spoke, and she carefully took a black piece from the pocket of her somewhat shabby dress and stuffed it to Lance.
However, when Tifa took out the object, Lance was keenly aware that Creel's face was slightly unnatural.
Lance pouted and smiled, looking down at what was stuffed in his hand.
It turned out to be a two-finger-sized piece of jerky.
This is a good thing, you must know that although there are still some edible animals, they are extremely rare.
Although some people tried to eat the corpses of some alien beasts when they were extremely hungry, without exception, they were all infected into mutant zombies by a certain substance contained in the corpses of alien beasts.
Lance hasn't eaten meat for a long time, especially this pickled wind jerky, which is indeed very attractive to him.
He was not polite, and broke the jerky into several pieces casually, and after each person divided a small piece, he threw his piece in his mouth and chewed it.
"Well, it's still beef jerky, it's not bad! Thank you, Tifa!
"Oh...... Oh yes, yes, beef jerky, hehe......"
"Tifa, why don't you eat? I'll go to Gerza City with Brother Nathan later, and try to bring you more food, which is worthy of the beef jerky you gave me......!"
"Huh...... Good, good......"
Tifa nodded, but didn't eat the jerky.
She just carefully put it back in her pocket again, looking extra cherished.
Lance smiled at this and turned to look at Nathan.
"What's wrong? Brother Nathan, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's not too early, it's time for us to go. ”
"Hmm. ”
Nathan then walked back to the cave, and it wasn't until a long time later that he came out with his knife and backpack.
Coming to the side of the group again, Nathan instructed Kenifo, "After we leave, you must pay attention to safety, cover the entrance to the cave, and after we leave, I will clean up all the footprints around us, remember, we must wait for us to come back." ”
"Well, got it, brother!"
Shortly after Lance and Nathan left, Kenny Foe suddenly changed his previous honesty and honesty, stared at Tilfa fiercely and said, "Why did you give him jerky? Aren't you afraid that he will find out our secret?"
"Hmph...... Do you think someone as powerful as him would have eaten human flesh?"
"Then you can guarantee that he won't be able to eat it?"
“......”
Just when the two were facing each other, Creel hurriedly came up to protect Tifa, and said in a round game: "Don't quarrel, Tifa is also out of kindness, we behave more sincerely, that master called Lance will be less wary of us, as long as he can escort us to the Wizard's Castle, we will be safe." ”
"Creel, I know, too, but Tifa is too risky to do this, and if something goes wrong with him, it would be a finger move to kill us. ”
Kenny Foe sighed and said with some concern.
Seeing that Kenny Fook had given in, Tifa's tone softened a little and said, "There are only five of us who have survived from the town now, and if it weren't for this damn Dark Age, we wouldn't have fallen to this point." ”
"Tifa, it's not me who said, can we discuss it in advance in the future, after wandering for so long, hope is now in front of us, as long as we can reach the place safely, we can end this aimless wandering. ”
"Alright, Brother Kenniffo, I'll talk to you in advance. ”
Seeing that Tifa and Kenifo were no longer fighting against each other, Creel breathed a sigh of relief, and then pointed in the direction of the cave and said to Kenifford, "What about them? Now we have a strong warrior monk to protect us, and taking them with them is just a burden......"
"They? huh...... Brother Nathan has already explained......"
Look at Lance and Nathan's side.
With Lance in his hands, Nathan didn't wander around like he did yesterday, and it took almost half the time he took to come back yesterday on a small hill outside the city of Gelsa.
Although you can't see the whole picture of Gelsa City from here, you can also see it.
The city of Gelsa is still the same as ever, a scene of a ruined city in the last days.
The alien beasts roaming the city roared from time to time, adding a touch of terror to the city that was no longer bustling.
The traces of yesterday's fight are still there.
From the top of the hill, it looks like a dark red bloodthirsty dragon that stretches all the way to the gates of the city.
"Brother Lance, the situation is not optimistic, after yesterday's battle, it seems that there are more alien beasts entrenched in the city. ”
Nathan looked at the situation in the city with a solemn brow, and pointed to the location in the city.
Indeed, it seems that half of the city's mutant zombies and alien beasts are concentrated on the road they escaped from yesterday.
Looking at this dense alien beast, even Lance was a little stunned.
After thinking for a while, Lance spoke: "Brother Nathan, if you don't do this, it's not convenient to take you with you, you can point me out where you took the food yesterday, and I'll go by myself." ”
"How can this be done, Brother Lance, you saved us, and ......"
"Okay, Brother Nathan, if you're here, you'll drag me down, and it's convenient for me to come and go alone, even if the alien demon wolf in the city is there, it can't help me. ”
"That'...... Well, Brother Lance......"
Nathan didn't insist on it, and after roughly explaining the location to Lance, he handed Lance an empty rucksack he had brought.
"Brother Lance, just take some of it, be sure to pay attention to safety, I'll be waiting for you here. ”
"Don't worry!"
Without Nathan's drag, Lance flexibly found a location on the city wall where there were not many alien beasts, accelerated his legs, jumped over, and climbed over the city wall two or three meters high with a few brushes.
Lance moved quickly, and the whole process was like a gust of wind, without making a sound.
By the time the alien beasts found someone passing, there was no trace of Lance for a long time.
At this time in the city, Lance was on the rooftops of each house, silently leaping vertically, and his body was as agile as a monkey, and it only took more than half an hour to come to the place that Nathan said.
It's a tavern, or rather, it used to be a bustling tavern.
The three-story building, covering an area of one or two hundred square meters, has been abandoned for a long time, but the mottled traces on the wall seem to still tell the glory of this place.
Lance stood on the roof of the tavern, looking at the mutant bugs roaming aimlessly on the ground, and his heart was filled with emotion.
"Hey...... I don't know how Ike is doing, I really want to get drunk with them, I don't have to think about anything, and I can sleep comfortably. ”
Just as Lance was about to turn over and enter the tavern, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded slowly from not far behind him.
"Long time no see, Lance. ”
"Who is it?"
Lance was shocked in his heart, with his current strength, he could appear silently not far behind him, he must be a master whose strength far surpassed him.
He quickly turned around and looked at the speaker with a wary expression.
When Lance saw the person standing in the other corner of the roof, he had a shocked look on his face.
This is the little stone that has been following Sister Mary in the Winterspring Wilderness a few years ago.
Xiao Shi was still dressed in a black waiter's costume as he had been in the Winter Spring Tavern, and his expression was cold and gloomy, as if it was about to freeze.
"Little rock, why are you here?"
Although Lance and Little Stone knew each other, they didn't have much friendship.
He didn't know what the purpose of the little stone was now, so even if he knew, he didn't let his guard down.
Xiao Shi didn't answer Lance's question, and directly reached out his hand to summon a cloud of black energy.
With the appearance of this mass of energy, Lance faintly felt the dark energy in his body, and began to tremble involuntarily, as if it was about to break out of his control at any time and rush to the black energy in Xiao Shi's hand.
Just when Lance was shocked, Xiao Shi decisively withdrew the black energy.
"It was the one who led me here, and many people on the Kstana continent were looking for you, and I was the first to find you. ”
Little Stone took a step forward with a blank face.
The powerful deterrent force suddenly overwhelmed Lance.
Fortunately, the little stone is not hostile.
"You've been looking for answers, haven't you?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to pass on a few words to you. ”
Xiao Shi continued to take another step forward and continued: "The wheel of fate has been opened, the seventh reincarnation casts the world key, the seeds in the magic box will grow, the ashes of the gods are the nourishment for rebirth, and the re-disrupted order will return to chaos......"
After saying this prophecy, Xiao Shi's face finally showed a hint of a smile.
But this smile made Lance feel very weird.
"Lance, you've probably heard this prophecy, huh...... The contents of the prophecy are becoming true one by one, and I think I don't need to say the rest, right?"
"But this dark power in me ......"
"The dark power in you is of the same origin as mine, do you remember the woman in the abyss, who is my mother, and Lilith is my sister. ”
Hearing the little stone suddenly mention Lilith, Lance felt a sudden pain in his heart, and an endless sadness rose in his heart.
