Chapter 6 Hunting Night
Eber closed his eyes and rested in the bumpy carriage, and his mind sank into the ocean of consciousness again.
Darkness, silence, nothingness, only the sound of gentle drops of water sounded, the mysterious giant book disappeared, and even the stone platform disappeared.
"It's gone? How come this book disappeared?" Eber wanted to explore the mysterious book again, but it did not give Eber this opportunity.
Eber, who had nothing to find, had to open his eyes and ponder silently:
"Although I don't know what this book is, it should have something to do with me before I lost my memory.
"I can't control it completely now, but the last time it responded to me, which means that when I need it, it's likely to appear again, but whether it needs it is not up to me.
"I'm back to the original question again, who am I? Why is this book in my mind? Why do I keep hiding my own thoughts in my heart? What happened before I lost my memory?
"Enemy hunting? Unexpected memory loss? Tsk, I can't figure it out."
Just as Eber thought hard, Grey suddenly asked:
"Galon, you seem to have some understanding of Mongler after listening to your words? Tell us."
The car man looked up and raised his ears even after he didn't look up. In order to make himself look more sociable, Eber temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked at Garron and Grey.
And it is not bad to know some information about Mongler.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Garon touched his head slightly honestly, cleared his throat and said:
"Don't think I'm just a farmer, I've been around when I was young. At that time, I always wanted to make a name for myself, so I followed the caravan to Hyde Port, traveling between the Fra Straits, and earning some hard money.
"But at that time Hyde Port was not a military port, but a larger trading port, and Mongler had not yet destroyed the country. Apart from the occasional pirates, there was basically no danger.
"I've also drunk flower wine in Mongler, ha, those girls have drained all the money I have earned with hard work...
"It's been too far. Now Mongler has become a province of the Holy Kingdom. They must still want to continue to move south and east, but there are not enough people, so they draw soldiers everywhere and recruit civilians.
"According to my experience, as long as we don't cause trouble and work honestly, we may be able to get a piece of land!
"The real danger is the Mongal who refuses to surrender to the Holy Kingdom, whether we are Auckland or Ulusiran. But we are indeed vassal states of the Holy Kingdom, and there is nothing we can do about it..."
The topic about Mongler is getting further and further, and gradually tends toward men's random talk.
Although there was no beer or bonfire, the rough men still talked to the point of losing their minds. They didn't stop at lunch until late at night, when everyone was exhausted.
The bonfire was lit again, and this time Eber had no exclusive privileges and was forced to squeeze with these sour and smelly men.
Eber lay flat on the ground, putting his hands under his navel, so that he could pull out the rust nails at any time. He had a premonition that he would not be calm tonight because there was not much time left for the predators in the woods.
"According to Gallon, we are only about three days away from reaching Hyde Port. Considering that there must be patrols outside the military port, it will be its best and last chance to take action tonight." Eber held the end of the rust nail tightly with his right hand to rest assured.
While Gallon and the others were still chatting, Eber closed his eyes early, but when most of them fell asleep, Eber was extremely awake and alone warned of the dark woods.
"The moon is directly above, it's already the second half of the night." Eber narrowed his eyes and glanced at the night sky, then muttered to himself, "The hunting night has begun."
Hmm.
A soldier who had just been replaced after the rotation, walked into the woods in a daze and planned to take a good night's sleep after putting water, but bad luck suddenly came to him, and the "um" was the last sentence he left behind.
The sound of heavy objects dragging in the quiet woods, and the soldiers' bodies completely sank into the darkness, but the sound was covered by the bursting sound of Chai Xin due to the distance.
No one knew that the first victim had appeared, and even Eber, who had been vigilant, knew that the predator had already started killing.
Ten fierce red lights gathered together flashed in the dark woods, but only a humanoid figure was slowly touching the night-time soldiers standing guard.
One, two, three.
Eber kept keeping his eyes closed and relying on his hearing to guard the surroundings. He did not notice the disappearance of the night watchmen at the first time. When Eber was squinting his eyes and scanning the camp, he finally found something strange.
——The predator quietly killed at least three night-time soldiers. Not only did the people not notice it, but even the half-sleeping horses were not noticed!
Eber tried his best to stabilize his accelerated heartbeat and rapid breathing, because the predator's senses must be more developed than Eber, and a little abnormal movement and noise could make it notice Eber.
"Damn it! When did it kill the night-time soldiers? It's too fast and too quiet! The gap between me and it is too big. An iron nail may kill the unprepared human, but that thing is definitely not a human! Even humans are not something I can deal with! What should I do? What should I do?" Eber's mind turned rapidly, and his right hand holding the rust nail was already sweating.
The combat unit on duty at night, the sleeping combat unit, and the lamb without combat effectiveness are the hunting order that the predator ranks instinct. Now it is touching towards the last two night watchmen.
How could the dozing soldiers escape its hunt? The god of death that harvested life has lurked behind them. The interval between the front and back is no more than two minutes, and the last two night soldiers were killed one after another.
The last soldier discovered something strange before he died, but it was too late. Before he could speak, he had his claws cut through his throat.
Squinted his eyes and watched the last two clusters of torches go out. Eber knew what he had to do and could not delay it anymore, nor could he hope that the predator would let him go.
When it kills all the soldiers, the remaining uncombat workers are lambs to be slaughtered, and it is impossible for them to see the sun tomorrow!
"Damn it! Why did I encounter this matter!" Eber dared not shout, one was afraid to attract the attention of the predator, and the other was afraid that he would not have the power to cause riots, which gave the predator an opportunity to take advantage of it.
If you ask for help from the Wordless Heavenly Book, you will not get a response. Then the only solution is to find the "Bornedale girl's doll" in the mysterious person.
"Damn! I'm back again." Eber mustered up the courage and crawled towards Lieutenant Belial's tent.
