Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 18 Dry Bones (4) On the Thirteenth Well

Xia Ming looked at her, but she didn't seem to want to say anything.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Mu Siyu said angrily.

"Nothing. ”

"You think I don't want to tell you!"

"Nope. ”

Mu Shiyu calmed down and said, "Yes, but I won't tell you." ”

"No, no, I don't need you to tell me what it is. I'm just trying to make sure if there is, or maybe not yet, but I'm curious. ”

Mu Siyu didn't ask him what he was curious about.

"Now that it's resurrected, we've got to find a way to kill it. But what about the hunter? Can you be sure who he is?"

"I don't know, but maybe it's a stalker. ”

"Did you see his hunting knife clearly? It was a normal hunting knife. That is, the blood on his hunting knife—"

The scorched flames burned with a cold glow, Xia Ming said.

"It's human!"

The two were silent for a while.

Xia Ming was thinking, he still didn't know anything about this world.

The tongue of fire danced in Mu Shiyu's pupils, and when she was silent, her eyes were like a clear night sky.

"You look amazing!" Xia Ming said for no reason.

"Yes!" she gladly accepted, I don't know if it was an appreciation.

"I knew you were very good, and the big guy was handed over to you. Xia Ming said slyly.

"No, that's yours, it's your first prey. Don't forget, you're the hunter. Her tone was surprisingly calm, and she didn't have any other emotions because of Xia Ming's calculations.

"It's not dead, I'm not a hunter. Then my hunting knife will not violate any oath. ”

"Do you think that the hunter didn't catch up because he knew the rules for not catching up?"

Mu Shiyu didn't continue the topic, but instead looked out the window, the cold air was whistling around the edge by the wind, and her face was slightly pale.

Xia Ming made the wooden window a little smaller, and when it started to snow, the temperature would rise slightly, but fortunately, their battle uniforms were not very thin.

"You know, you didn't say he came from somewhere? I don't know, who would dare to walk around here!" Xia Ming analyzed according to himself.

"Let's be careful. ”

She grabbed a dagger, swiped it through the air a few times, and finally slashed at the fireworks.

The flaming wick fell off the table, and the darkness was drowning in all directions.

"It's the stalker, and although the name is similar to the executor, the stalker is the stalker, and the two are completely different.

Anyone can be the executor, only the ability is sufficient; And the stalkers have to be old hunters, because what they face is usually dangerous. ”

"How dangerous is it?"

"It's not too dangerous, the hunt is a solo operation, and there are no cases of failure, I've hunted before, don't ask me why I know. ”

"It turns out that your 'old' means powerful, maybe you're quite powerful. ”

Xia Ming's tone was quite a kind of self-deprecation when he was still playing with mud when he didn't play with hunting knives.

"Since you're so powerful, why don't you choose a knight?"

"Knight?" she said disdainfully, "dancing with knives and guns, and playing acrobatics." ”

"Tell me about you, do you want to be a knight? ”

"Not really. Xia Ming shook his head.

"I never wanted to be a knight from the beginning, and knights are not as unbearable as you say. I want to be a hunter because we don't know the world at all.

We don't know anything about anything outside the world, and no one really cares, they think that the walls of the world are unbreakable and that demons will never touch them.

There's nothing wrong with that, the world inside is enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime, so why bother with it?

But human beings really only have a history of more than 800 years? The walls of the world were really created by God, so why didn't God get rid of all the demons? Why didn't the demons in the wall contain them, but human beings? What is this? They are kept in cages to watch amused birds, or are they kept at home to be slaughtered?

It's a prison at all. ”

The rain outside the window was starting to fall silent, and the temperature around me was a little bearable, but the wind was still strong, and it kept screaming through the cracks in the wooden windows.

"What you say does make sense, but even we don't really understand the world. I became a hunter because of my parents, who were also hunters. In fact, our family has always been hunters. I learned maneuvering and using hunting knives since I was a child, but they left ten years ago..."

She suddenly laughed nervously, "But what's the use of telling you? You ordinary citizens, as you say, 'There's enough for them here, so why bother with it?', of course you won't know what the truth is." ”

Sure enough, he was still playing with mud when he was playing with knives.

But did anything happen ten years ago? The year 799 is a large-scale monster invasion outside the wall. It is said that they almost broke the barrier defenses of the World Wall at that time, and if they were allowed to run in, this should be their slaughterhouse.

Most of the human fear of them comes from religious myths, and some of them are seen by hunters with their own eyes.

As for ten years ago, Xia Ming doesn't remember any books he ever read.

"What is the truth?"

"Do you know about the relics?"

"I don't know much. ”

"It's certainly not a secret, at least we all know it.

However, you may not know that a large number of them are working on this, and they think it's quite powerful.

Don't you think it's rare to see seniors? Many of them have been secretly sent on missions outside the wall.

You know Diana? She wasn't a teacher, but now she's pretty lacking.

Sharpen the gun, if, I mean if...... Will you be afraid, will you hesitate, will you regret it?"

——

The storm tore the ground violently, sweeping gravel, wood blocks, and even larger, uprooted trees into the storm.

Rumble~

There was a sudden explosion in the darkness, and the spurting fireworks were sucked into the center of the storm, turning into a sinuous fire dragon.

"Damn! Who dug up the gas spring again? Stop working! Stop working now! Damn, do you want to die? Close the stone gate now, close the stone door, and protect the holy thing!"

A chubby old man with a face covered in tobacco rolls, holding a cone-shaped PA barrel, shouted into Passage 13. Huge heat leaked through the stone gate, and the entire tunnel shook in a thrilling way.

Everyone stared at the stone gate thirteen that had been closed, as if they were looking at the fire gate leading to hell.

"Damn, this damn thirteen isn't a good number!" the old man unscrewed a small, square-flat wine bottle and poured it into his mouth memory, forgetting that the wine was long gone.

"Professor Connor!" one of the executors of Well Thirteen couldn't help but remind.

"Supplies should arrive tomorrow morning, but with this kind of weather, it's possible to be late. ”

"Those Rangers will help them correct their direction, they're better navigation tools than disks!"

Connor shook his round belly, and the two broad-bladed hunting knives on his left waist creaked.

"No, Professor, you don't know, just now, it snowed. You are so obsessed with work, it's the monsoon rains, and winter is coming. You have to take a break and go out and see the world on the ground. ”

"It's winter, no wonder it's so cold these mornings. He said plainly, time flies so fast, it's been another year, and cracking the holy relic is still far away.

"I hate winter, the cold freezes the stuff in my head. ”

He rubbed his hands together as he breathed, and although the temperature around him was still rising, he felt like he was in the snow and ice.

Rumble~

There was another wave of cave rocking, and sand and gravel poured out of the cracks in the wall. It didn't seem safe, but they all sat there as if nothing had happened.

In the center of this cellar, a large sword with a red and yellow body that seemed to flow like molten flame hovered quietly over a cubic boulder, which did not have a single pillar on top, but a radius of two miles, including this cellar, and the twenty-four passages and hundreds of anthill-like rooms were all supported by this boulder.

This boulder was excavated from the walls of the world, and the huge square-shaped barrier it emitted was the best pillar.

"Inform the people of the other passages to gather here, this time the explosion is so powerful, I am afraid that some of the surrounding passages are not strong enough. ”

Connor said to the people in Passage Thirteen, "You dug up those things, and you'll have to deal with them for me when they're done!"

To be done.
