Where the Wind Rises (12)
It was not a curious and gentle touch, but a ferocious intake.
Willy, who was holding Xiaolong, didn't react for a moment, but Xiaolong himself slapped him with his paw unceremoniously, pulling out a few blood stains on the child's dark hand.
This is already considered as showing mercy.
The child screamed and took back his hand, but then threw the half-bitten piece of meat jerky in his other hand into Willie's face as if to vent his anger.
The dried meat was given to him by Willy.
Xiao Long rushed out and slapped away the dried meat with his claws, and shouted angrily. Just as he was about to make this little bastard's face light up, he pushed him down with one hand and lifted the child up with the other hand.
He was still grabbing his neck, but looking at him was like looking at a disgusting dead rat.
The child rolled his eyes and cried loudly again, but this time Arcee was not so eager to take him away.
"Just throw it away if it's no longer useful." Tess said calmly.
How dare you bully her little sweetheart!
Wei Te hesitated. There was no way they could harm a child. Taking him would be asking for trouble, not to mention that the child was not very likable. But it wouldn't be too bad to just leave him here.
Okay... It's okay to take them as hostages...
Arcee hesitated for a moment and accepted it silently.
Yisi threw the child aside casually.
When leaving, the bounty hunter couldn't help but look back. The little guy was still standing by the pool blankly, seemingly unresponsive.
After walking for a while, he still felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but said: "I feel..."
"No, you don't," Tess said.
The tone was not very harsh, and the bounty hunter suddenly realized something.
He closed his mouth firmly.
It didn't take long for them to change direction, and the pointed-eared "elf" disappeared without knowing when.
.
When the first sun was about to rise, they hid on a hillside and looked at a small stream in the distance. A group of Brittans holding torches gathered together. They looked around warily and seemed to
What are you arguing about?
Just now, the little Brittan was found by his fellow tribesmen.
Like all children who run away because of naughtiness, after he received a hug filled with the joy of regaining something, he was slapped several times across the head and face, making the child cry.
But what is more eye-catching than this common bustle is a giant beast behind the group of people.
It was completely unclear what the thing looked like. It was as tall as a half-Britan. Its huge body was covered with rough long hair, which almost reached the ground. It was impossible to tell where the neck was, and the face was hidden in the mat.
In its fur, there are only four sharp fangs that are turned outwards and interlaced up and down. You can imagine how miserable it would be to be bitten by it.
But despite looking so fierce, the giant beast just stood obediently behind the group of Brittans, swaying slowly, its docile and honest look almost a bit cute.
Weiter immersed himself in looking through the atlas for a long time, but could not find this animal - his predecessors probably had never gone so deep into this mountain forest.
Just when he thought that these people would return to the village and they could follow them secretly, the group of people seemed to have discovered something and looked around nervously.
"...Children are so quick to talk." Tess sighed quietly, "He told them."
"...Tell them what?" Wei Te felt that he had obviously been staying with these guys, but he seemed to have missed some important plot.
"Tess stamped the little guy's neck." Out of sympathy, Tess was sometimes very patient with people who were not very smart. "He couldn't enter another dimension...otherwise you think we could follow him."
Fuck him?"
Wei Te suddenly understood.
"...So he's not lost?"
"...Have you ever seen a lost child so calm? Even if he accidentally runs too far, he can definitely find it by himself."
"Then let's..." the bounty hunter said eagerly.
Shouldn't they rush up and stop those guys now?
"Be patient," Tess sighed. "How long have you been a bounty hunter? A year?"
Wei Te shut up again. Indeed... almost a year ago...
After arguing for a while, the group of Brittans divided into two groups. One group rode on the giant beast with their children and left quickly, while the other group scattered into the forest.
Wei Te understood this scene - they suspected that the child was being followed, and tried to find the person who was following him...it was them.
And they still didn't move.
The bounty hunter doesn't feel panic at all now, and even feels sleepy.
After an unknown amount of time, so long that he almost fell asleep, Is finally stood up.
He was holding Willie...and the boy was actually asleep.
Wei Te didn't ask any questions now and just followed him honestly.
Another sun has also risen, and wisps of golden light slanted into the forest, illuminating the thin morning mist. The terrifying monsters last night seemed to have retreated into the darkness and never appeared again. There were even
Showing some charming tranquility.
They climbed two hills, and the elf who disappeared for half the night joined them again, whispering something to Yisi.
But they didn't stop or change direction. It wasn't until the sound of gurgling water reached their ears and a large beach was vaguely visible beyond the trees ahead that Is stopped.
"This is right here." Amphit said, "There is no place to hide in front. I can't follow too close. They disappeared after crossing the beach... Their settlement may be nearby."
Wei Te looked around. The beach was very wide, and there were colorful pebbles under the shallow water. When the sun shone, the flashing water waves were all colorful. If it weren't hidden deep in the mountains, it would be a very beautiful scenic spot.
But on the other side of the beach, groups of giant beasts were either walking around slowly, or standing still as if asleep, covered with long hair that was tangled together, like dry brown vines clinging to the ground.
An insurmountable high wall is formed on the tall rocks.
"Do you think they can also become invisible...can burrow into another space?" Wei Te couldn't help but asked Tess in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter if you can." Tess said casually, "You can't miss such a big target, right?"
The bounty hunter immediately became proud: "Of course!"
But the marksmanship he was so proud of was of no use.
"Stay here." Is said, walking towards the beach alone.
"Wait a minute." Arcee said, "Why don't you let me ask first?"
There must be someone hiding nearby... and the purpose of their coming here is just to find someone, so it would be best if they could avoid a fight.
Yis stood a little further away, disapproving, but did not stop her.
Arcee walked out of the woods and stepped into the water.
The group of giant beasts raised their heads and looked at him silently and vigilantly, their black eyes hidden under the messy long hair, motionless.
"Friends in the forest," she raised her hands slightly and spoke calmly, "we have no intention of disturbing your life, we are just here to find someone, if we can..."
Before she finished speaking, all the giant beasts started to move, as if they had received some order.
The earth trembled and the mountains shook.
Arcee's face darkened and she immediately retreated, but Ace had already rushed out of the woods and charged towards the herd.
The giant beasts were running with a rumble, and their speed was not slow. The momentum was no different from that of an entire armored force rushing towards them. What was even more frightening was that they could also "teleport".
They don't seem to be able to control this, they just disappear and appear while running, and this irregular change makes it more difficult to judge their actions.
Seeing that Yis was about to be swallowed up by the beasts like a torrential mudslide, Wei Te clenched his gun in fear.
"...Does he really not need help?" he asked.
What answered him was a sudden spike of ice.
The entire beach froze almost instantly, and the transparent spikes standing up diagonally were as tall as a person, facing the direction in which the giant beasts were galloping. The giant beasts that couldn't stop their pace hit the ice spikes one after another.
On the scene, patches of blood bloomed in her vision, causing Arcee to subconsciously cover Willy's eyes.
Willy quickly covered his ears himself.
But the painful roar was continuous and almost crashed into everyone's brain.
Wei Te's face turned pale - is this so cruel?!
"...Troublesome guy." Tess muttered.
Iss, who seemed quite normal, was obviously not very normal anymore. And they didn't realize it at all before... Iss probably didn't even realize it himself.
He has always been able to make various judgments calmly, but when he takes action, he is surprisingly violent, as if he is venting some uncontrollable dark emotions.
But now is not the time to stop him or appease him.
"End it as soon as possible." Tess said, rushing out first, but instead of helping Is deal with the group of giant beasts, she rushed to the other side of the beach.
They ran across the frozen water beach quickly. As Weiter ran, he couldn't help but look towards Is. Not all the giant beasts had hit the ice spikes - the group running at the front acted as meat.
However, the beasts behind them could not hold back their momentum and were about to collide into a pile, but they suddenly changed their direction and rushed towards them.
What blocked them this time was a high transparent wall, glowing with faint firelight.
The face of Yisi who followed closely was very ugly. He probably realized that he was a little out of control. He didn't even pull out his weapon. He just stood on the ice wall and shouted loudly: "Make them stop!... If you don't want them to die!"
