Chapter 19: The Way Home
What is surprising is that Erlang's body is like a weeping willow in the wind, fluttering and uncertain, and the wind blade's attack with lightning speed is only missed, and when the wind blade passes next to Erlang's shoulder that healed from his injury earlier, Seth was shocked. Is this the little ant man? His balanced mentality has been completely broken.
He was thirty-seven years old at the time, and he was known as a ghost genius in Bell Hill since he was a child, and he was a top-notch existence in terms of magic talent and wit. Because he is not a descendant, he has been ostracized in the villa, and he has never met an opponent when he walked out of the villa ten years ago, and now he has broken through the low-level magician. I didn't expect to lose to Erlang in Douzhi, and Douwu also lost half a move, which is unbearable! Seth lost his emotions for the first time in his life. The wind element roared wildly, and at this moment, the wind on the battlefield burst out, Seth flicked his ten fingers in a row, and countless wind blades formed, roaring and rushing towards Erlang.
Sharon was shocked, Duncan Johnson was shocked, this boss has always just waved his hand, killing people in an understatement, how many times have he seen such a hideous face today, and his eyes are fierce. The boss was frustrated! The wind blade broke through the air and roared, is this a blow of life and death? Look at the other side, the little person who was originally small and unbearable, his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, confident, ignorant, they don't know. But the Wind Blade didn't even touch Erlang's clothes, and all of them passed by, and the eyes of the three people were full of disbelief, and they shouted in their hearts: "God! What is the situation?"
In the shock of everyone, Erlang probed his left hand, took the moon in the air, took it lightly, took the ring in his hand, and said lightly, "Thank you!" and immediately opened his eyes.
In just a few seconds, Seth was trembling as if he had experienced the Great War of the Century, his body was like a sifting chaff, his pale face was even more gray, even like death, and his eyes were full of a kind of panic of six gods and no master. He was such a proud man, and yet at this point, he was brutally defeated. Seth knows that the root of this disease has been planted by himself, and if he can't get over this setback, his strength will never be improved again in his life, this curse!
Seth raised his head to the sky and screamed, not wanting to stay here for a long time, so he was wrapped in the wind elemental and ran wildly through the forest, even forgetting that the inner island was full of dangers, and the three people behind him chased after him, and the four of them ran away.
Three days later, the dying Brown was gone, his face still pale, his left sleeve empty, and his clothes in disarray, but his face was full of confidence and determination. Brown's three-day cultivation has returned to the level of a mid-level swordsman apprentice. He was in a hurry to get home, maybe only after experiencing life and death can people truly cherish everything they are alive. Brown himself wondered how homesick he was, very much, his gentle and considerate wife, his underage son, and his gray-haired father. He secretly decided in his heart that when he went home this time, he must stay for a while, everything outside is a floating cloud, and only home is so real. Of course, before going home, he still has one more important matter, to protect Erlang and the two of them when they return to Tianchen Academy.
The three of them walked on the secluded forest path, and Brown was at the front, after all, he was the only one who had some experience in the wilderness.
"There are signs of a fight ahead, pay attention!" Brown replied, continuing to investigate.
Sure enough, there was a mess in front of it, a hammer was lying on the ground, and by the way, there was a hand, which was already a little rotten. This hammer seems to have been seen somewhere, Erlang is pondering in his heart.
"There's an axe here!" the girl made a discovery. Jiro glanced over and suddenly realized that Duncan Johnson of the Poisonous Wolf Mercenary Regiment was a weapon. In this way, most of them were killed, and there was only one arm left at the scene, which is estimated to be tragic enough. Won't it be wiped out?Erlang couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Seth!
Moving on, further on, a large canyon blocked the way, the canyon was hundreds of meters deep, a rapids at the bottom, and the water surface was 100 meters open. Jiro suddenly felt uneasy. After taking a few quick steps to stand side by side with Brown, Erlang spoke: "Is there another way?
"If, yes or no!" Brown said quietly, "The riverbed upstream is shallow and the water surface is narrow, but it is a forbidden place on the inner island, and mid- and high-level second-level demonic beasts are rampant. We want to go to the past, only to die. The downstream water is gentle and wide, and the water surface is wider, which is indeed conducive to crossing the river, but it is necessary to detour most of the water god island, hundreds of miles of winding paths. And this side of the river is still an inner island, full of dangers. ”
"When our mercenary group came, they also crossed in this kind of place, as long as they weren't blocked by the demonic beasts in the water, there should be no danger. ”
"There are monsters in the water?" the girl wondered.
"The water overlord is the water system monster green anaconda! But fortunately, the number is scarce, and it is almost impossible to come across it. ”
After hearing this, Erlang didn't know why, and he chuckled in his heart, after all, would it really be uneasy to become a reality? Erlang knew that his hunch didn't seem to be wrong, but the time couldn't afford to delay, and after ten days, would he still be able to meet the mentor left behind in the camp?
Going down the canyon to the shore, the three people set up bamboo rafts, and at Erlang's strong request, they tied two bamboo rafts, and Brown tied the two bamboo rafts one after the other with ropes. When they were ready, they pushed the bamboo raft into the river, and three people stepped on the first bamboo raft, each holding a long bamboo in their hands, and drove the bamboo raft to the opposite bank.
The scenery at the bottom of the canyon is to be obtained, the river water is clear, the water is turbulent, the bamboo forest on the bank is undulating, surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the dust is ethereal.
The bamboo raft slowly diagonally leaned along the current to the opposite bank, and just thirty or forty meters away from the bank, the bamboo pole could no longer catch the bottom of the river. It was indeed a pickaxe and a paddle again, and the three of them paddled all the way, a very hard and painful part of the road, about twenty minutes of travel, which was worthy of crossing the middle line of the river, and the bamboo pole was almost able to explore the bottom again. Brown let go of most of his hanging heart, and he could cross the river safely, with his current state, it was really not suitable to encounter Warcraft.
However, Jiro's uneasiness grew stronger, and he carefully observed the water, using his bamboo pole detector to probe in the water. Suddenly, the bamboo pole seemed to be hit by a big fish, and Erlang's hand shook and he almost let go of the bamboo pole. He looked up at Brown and met Brown's inquiring eyes: "There's movement underwater!"
Brown had no doubt about Erlang's words, what kind of joke, the inner island had been together for a few days, and how many demonic beasts had been avoided! But he looked at the other side and thought in his heart, how could he pass the distance of more than fifty meters?
"Ah!" the girl cried out, and they both turned back at the same time.
"The raft is moving, it's going in circles!" the girl cried out of fear of the unknown!
Erlang thought for a while, "Uncle, what kind of monster could it be?"
Brown didn't answer, he had already drawn his sword.
"How many levels of Demonic Beast?" Erlang asked flatly.
"Most of the adult anacondas are second-level and low-level, and there are very few who can reach the intermediate level, and if it is a mutant anaconda, then it may also be high-level. "After all, Brown has been a great enemy for a long time, although the enemy is far more powerful than he can deal with at the limit, but in this case, is there any other choice?
The bamboo raft is spinning faster and faster, and the two bamboo rafts are about to merge together. Seeing this, Erlang glanced back at the girl: "You get on the bamboo raft in the back!"
The girl was confused, what do you mean? Erlang urged again: "Quick!" The girl ran out of ideas, jumped and jumped onto another bamboo raft.
Jiro looked at Brown, Brown was expressionless, waved the long sword with his right hand, the girl's bamboo raft rope broke, the bamboo raft suddenly stalled, the girl couldn't stand, and fell on the bamboo raft with a scream. When she propped herself up again, the bamboo raft was twenty or thirty meters away from her. The raft swirled on the water, and Brown on it was motionless and half-crouched, holding a sword in one hand, like a leopard ready to attack, ready to strike at any moment. And the boy who was like a fan still stood up straight, as if even Tarzan could not bend his strong backbone. His face was clear, and there was no trace of joy or anger in sight. His figure was as firm as an abyss, and he stood still as undulating as the raft swirled. His eyes are radiant, and he even looks at the world, like an ancient tree, looking at the sea and fields in the world. The girl watched and unconsciously got lost in it.
Erlang sighed: "Uncle, I've bothered you." ”
"Erlang, don't say that. Uncle's life was saved by you, and he died before you!"
"Uncle, can you jump over the river yourself?"
"Don't say it, Soul Chaser Sword Brown is not that kind of bastard!"
Suddenly, the bamboo raft in the whirlpool was hit hard by the impact force under the water, the bamboo raft fell apart, and Jiro turned over and fell into the water. After taking a few sips of river water, Erlang felt that his left arm was grabbed, and before he could react, a strong force came, and the whole person rose up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Brown grabbing his shoulder with one hand, and the sword was already behind him. The two of them slid more than ten meters to the opposite bank in mid-air, seeing that the castration had declined, Brown shouted loudly and threw Erlang to the opposite bank, and at the same time, a snake tail with the thickness of a bucket and seven or eight meters long stretched out from the river, and a whip was whipped on Brown's back. Brown threw Jiro out and was pulled back to the bottom, and Jiro fell into the water again after being thrown twenty meters away.
Jiro doesn't know water, he sinks when he enters the water, and his heart is sinking. Brown saved himself, but he ruined himself, and he didn't know how to water, although he was more than ten meters offshore, he could still kill me. This moment was short, but Erlang remembered a lot, he remembered that he was chased and killed by the enemy, escaped into the sea, and was able to survive with the help of Uncle Bao's grandson, he remembered the battle between Smith and Thomas, he could only be a spectator, he remembered that the magic eagle was raging, he couldn't protect his friends, he remembered that the poisonous wolf was fierce, he needed to take refuge under the woman, he actually had a trace of resentment at this moment, complaining about why he didn't have the strength to protect the people around him.
I felt like I was drinking a lot of water, I felt like the water was going down the river, it felt like a few seconds, and it felt like half a century had passed. Jiro's consciousness began to blur, and at this moment, he felt a hand grasp him, followed by what seemed to be a fight in the water, and then gradually lost consciousness.
It's Dream Mirror again, a gentle woman like jade, gently calling her name by her side, very enjoyable, very familiar, it seems that after thousands of years of living like this, Erlang doesn't even want to wake up, he would rather sleep like this all the time. Gradually, the woman began to cry, at first softly, and slowly turned into weeping. Erlang was distressed, this woman must be the softest place in his heart. Jiro wanted to wake up, open his eyes, and get up, but he found that he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't control his actions.
Jiro was in a hurry, he even knew how to interpret the script in the dream, he roared, trying to wake himself up, but ......
"Ahh
The girl's face was embarrassed: "I saw that you kept shedding tears, so I wiped your tears." ”
"Thank you. ”
......A blush appeared on the girl's face.
"Not dead?" Jiro wondered in his heart, and looked around, Brown was lying five meters away from him.
"Is he alright?"
"Uncle is injured, but he can still hold on!"
Jiro couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth and stood up, and walked over to Brown, who was sleeping. The girl told Jiro about the 1510 that had happened.
It turned out that Erlang fell into the water and drowned, and the girl couldn't bear it, so she jumped into the river and went upstream, and found Erlang in the water. And Brown was not an opponent of the anaconda at all in the water, and the anaconda played with its prey for a while and swallowed Brown in one gulp. Just when the girl thought that the general trend had gone and was about to give up, a divine eagle flew in the sky, and a magician on the back of the eagle did not even get off the back of the eagle.
The anaconda corpse was dumped on the shore, and then the magician did two things: cut open the anaconda's abdomen with a wind blade, picked the girl and Jiro out of the water, and threw them on the shore. Then he didn't stop and went to the inner island.
The girl looked at the back of the magician, a little familiar, but she could only rush to pull Brown out of the cut python's belly first, and rescue it urgently.
The three people escaped from the mouth of the python and rested on the case. A few days later, Brown regained his spirits and was on the road again. Most of the low-cost first-level demonic beasts on the outer islands occasionally exist in the middle rank, but for Brown, who has returned to the level of a middle-level swordsman apprentice, it does not pose a threat.
After more than ten days, the three of them finally returned to Tianchen Academy with a fishing boat from Shuishen Island. Back at the academy, Brown couldn't stay any longer, and he said goodbye to the two of them and set out on the way home without even entering the school gate, he was so homesick.
Jiro and the girl walked side by side to the school gate, and were almost stopped outside by the doorman, because the clothes were too simple, but fortunately, the school badge was not lost. The two of them first went to the Academic Affairs Office to register, because they disappeared on Shuishen Island and did not return, and then returned to school a week later than other students, and the school did not know the situation!
The teaching office was surprised and happy about the return of the two, and immediately called the two class teachers. After receiving the news, Dece rushed to the Academic Affairs Office and took Erlang away. At this time, the first class teacher, Tutor Juan, had also arrived, and Juan was very happy to see the girl, and said excitedly: "Thank you to the great God of Light! Welcome back, Anna!"
Erlang glanced at the wood beside him, everyone is human, why is there such a big difference? Erlang followed Dece all the way to the classroom, and neither of them had anything to say.
Suddenly, Erlang felt a "buzz" in his head, what did Juan's mentor call the girl? Anna? Isn't Anna Bob's granddaughter? How could it be such a coincidence?
