Chapter 11: May I Ride You?

When Arthur returned to the makeshift camp by the river, there were already people busy there, and some of the dead were being carried out of the caves. In the drizzle, some faint crying sounds, and the atmosphere was very sad.

Arthur couldn't help but sigh a little, he almost became one of the dead.

"Arthur, are you alright, thank God, if anything happens to you, Big Brother Evan will strangle me. Instructor Claude's shout of surprise instantly disrupted the silence, and everyone looked at Arthur who came out of the forest with a tired face.

"Great, Arthur, I thought you ...... too": it turned out to be Winnie, due to the injury and delay, their team did not encounter danger, this time several strong teams were devastated, while several weak teams were spared. Not only does it make people lament the impermanence of the world.

Arthur just waved his hand tiredly and asked, "Is there any place to rest?"

"The cave has been cleaned, go and rest! Seriously, it's good that you're alive, Arthur. Anthony stepped forward, he was still alive, but he looked just as tired, but now his face was full of joy, and it didn't look like a fake. It was he who insisted on directing the survivors to do all kinds of work.

"Thank you, I'll have to say something when I wake up!": Arthur barely managed to squeeze out a smile and walked into the cave, where the thick smell of blood had not yet dissipated, and several wounded people were also lying there. Arthur didn't care about it, so he found a random place and fell asleep deeply.

A dreamless night.

When Arthur woke up, it was already noon, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still a little overcast.

"You're awake, let's get something to eat!I've got good news for you, all the survivors will pass through as long as they can reach their destination on time, so you can rest and set off with us!": Anthony greeted with a smile. Arthur felt that after going through this, Anthony seemed to be much more mature. The sunny expression was a little more sincere.

Drinking the hot soup, Arthur felt that his spirit had recovered a little, summoned Hitler from the totem, and began to use healing, which was very badly injured. The effect of low-level healing techniques was not very good, and the point was the exhaustion of Hitler's own life force, which no treatment would help.

"I've got a healing technique today, so let's help!": Anthony enthusiastically says that he really has a bit of a charisma as a leader now.

"Anthony, he's a coward, you don't have to do that to him. ": A man next to him suddenly said, what seemed to be Anthony's teammate, who was now missing an arm and lying on one side. It had almost ruined him, and his heart was full of resentment that he wanted to vent.

"Shut up, Eugene, I'll run away in that case. Anthony scolds under his breath, then smiles apologetically at Arthur, who shakes his head and doesn't care. Anthony was obviously very prestigious, and the boy named Eugene had stopped talking, but suddenly covered his face and cried suppressedly.

Arthur learned that it was Anthony who commanded in the chaos last night, casting light on the stone wall, as a permanent light source, that barely stabilized the situation, and it was only after the arrival of Instructor Claude that the danger was lifted. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before they die here. The Rain Beast's attacks are not only against them but also at all creatures in the entire forest, their lives are short, and they only attack all living creatures as the energy for reproduction.

Anthony began to gather all the people and form a large group to pass, which would have been a good idea in this kind of forest, but the attack of the rain beast did clear a lot of danger, and later Arthur learned that his father in this world, Anthony, had done this from the beginning, and gathered nearly half of the people on the cliff to form a team, and then the others joined in. With a brigade of nearly 100 people, scouts and guards were organized like an army, and finally reached their destination with zero deaths. This story made Arthur sigh a lot, some people are born captains, but Anthony obviously doesn't have such charisma yet.

A few days later, as the river began to recede and the newly formed army began to set off, Anthony had been friendly, but Arthur had refused his invitation and had already decided to abandon the mission. Hitler was clearly no longer able to ride, and Arthur did not want to be looked down upon as a team. Looking at the fading procession, Arthur sighed helplessly, but to Arthur's surprise, Winnie actually wanted to stay here with him.

"Thank you, but no, this mission is important to you!": Arthur said.

"I just don't want to owe you a favor!" said Winnie earnestly.

Arthur didn't say anything anymore, he was still thinking about last night, Earth Bear, Soul Mask, Ancient Hero, Quincy. The words kept swirling in his head.

Arthur had heard the name many times in Aven's story, and the name of this legendary mask was derived from it. Arthur had doubted the truth of these stories, but what he saw last night made him understand some of the reasons. Having fought against the celestial realm, it's no wonder that his story died in this age of all faiths. But what did the bear mean? Why did he tell himself this? Why did he let himself go to Quincy's other equipment?

Is all this a conspiracy? But this level of conspiracy is obviously not something that Arthur can speculate on now, he only knows that he has learned some truths and has gained a path to power, whether this is a conspiracy or not, Arthur can only go on.

What Arthur didn't know was that the Soul Mask itself was not a physical entity, or rather, it was part of the forest. It came to Arthur's inner world when Arthur's mind was in turmoil last night, that jungle is Arthur's confusion, and the small lake is Arthur's heart, only those who find themselves through the confusion and finally face themselves can be recognized by it, and all losers are only death.

Hitler's injuries gradually stabilized, and Arthur said to Winnie, who was busy next to him: "Let's go, you have already returned my favor, and it is just too late to leave."

"Do you think I'm going to be like you? Winnie immediately scoffed, she had been putting up with this for a long time.

"Alright, I'm wrong, you better go! Arthur thought helplessly: What a grudge! But it seems that he saved her life!

Hearing Arthur's apology, Winnie's face was overjoyed, but when she heard the phrase "it's useless", she immediately attacked, and her angry little face flushed: "It's useless? Who found what you eat, Hitler can't fight, it's dangerous for you to walk to the camp alone!, anyway, I won't go." ”

"I have a way to get both of us through. Arthur said with a smile.

"What?": Winnie asked curiously, her emotions turning so fast.

"It's you who carry me. Arthur said, gesturing to her white horse.

"No!!": Winnie's reaction is bigger than Arthur's response to saying he's useless.

"What's wrong!": Arthur asked, puzzled.

"No is no way": Winnie said with a red face.

"I don't understand, but whatever you want, let's walk over slowly": Arthur shrugged.

A man and a half elf walked slowly through the woods, and Winnie walked absentmindedly with her head down.

"Come up!": A very soft sentence spilled from the corner of Winnie's mouth.

"What?": Arthur was a little distracted.

"Come up!": Winnie said angrily, flushed.

"Uh, okay!": Seeing the rampage in front of him, Arthur didn't dare to say more, and rolled over and rode on Winnie's back.

Winnie shuddered and stopped, calming her mind.

Suddenly accelerated, almost threw Arthur down, and quickly hugged her waist and asked, "You are crazy!"

Winnie didn't answer, but just kept throwing the trees behind faster and faster.
