Tides: Years of Dawn

Gawain had no choice.It was impossible for him to let them kill Crewe, even if he wished so much to capture the two of them and resolve all conflicts by himself.But when the sharp knife stabbed a little blood on Crewe's neck, he still gave in.

Crewe whimpered and was dragged back by Gareth, while Tristan raised his arms provocatively and told Gawain—"That thing in your hand is dangerous, you put it away first, and we'll talk later."

Gawain was still inexperienced in combat.Even though his mana was outstanding in the same period, the injuries he suffered at the moment left him with little energy to cast spells, and now he was fighting against Gareth and Tristan, who had been in the hunter career for decades, so he was defeated It's just the difference between earlier and later.

He gritted until his gums hurt, and finally took the trident back into his palm.

Tristan finally nodded in approval, and pushed Gawain to move three meters away from the door, so that he and Gareth could move out step by step.

And of course, in the process—"You know, humans are fragile, you can get scared easily, and if you do something tricky, there's a good chance you'll hurt your little one."

Tristan had an ugly smile, but Crewe kept crying.The slap Gawain gave him was what he deserved, after all he was helping cunning human beings.Human beings are different from the sea people who know how to repay their kindness. They may be able to sell themselves by turning their backs.

As it is now.

When descending the stairs and entering the hall on the first floor, they broke through the protective isolation.The beasts noticed them one after another, and stood up vigilantly.

They stared at Gareth intently, their eyes full of curiosity and puzzlement.

Gareth whistled softly for them to hold still.

Although they might be able to deal with Gao Wen in the room with many enemies and few enemies, the commotion will inevitably attract a large number of sea people.Even if they can get out of this house, they can't get out of the outer wall.

So Gareth can only give up these beasts.He knew in his heart that if he wanted to escape with Tristan, he had to leave all the other animals behind.

But even so, he still couldn't help asking Tristan softly—"Then...they..."

"Shut up!" Tristan interrupted angrily before letting him finish.

Judging from the things encountered along the way, the power of Haimin cannot be underestimated.Although Tristan was able to suppress Gao Wen in terms of momentum, it was all due to his understanding of this kind of young people.

But Tristan actually knew nothing about the power of the Sea Folk.He was also very worried, if he really offended Haimin, then he probably wouldn't be able to leave alone.

The rancid smell in the hall became worse, and Gao Wen had to cover his nose to follow the human beings and the kidnapped Krewe step by step.

Although Crewe said that all the elders who died on the ground were killed by sword whales, Gawain is no longer sure whether Crewe's words are true or not.It's just that he still forced himself to believe it—so that he wouldn't be so angry that he would recreate the trident, and then desperately stab monsters or humans, trying his best to kill one more.Even if he ends up dying here, he will not hesitate.

Tristan opens the door and pats Gareth on the back for him to follow.

Crewe had cried all his tears, and he couldn't squirt ink now, because Gareth was right behind him, and even if he squirted ink, he couldn't hit them.So he just limp with a few tentacles, letting Gareth grab his collar and drag him back.

"Let him go!" Gawain roared before the two humans walked out of the old house.

Tristan said they would, just not now—"We won't let it go until we've got a safe place, or who knows what you'll do."

Tristan was the first to run to the small door by the wall and opened a crack.

The time is right now, the sun is setting.The sky was not very clear, and there were no sea people around.Although he didn't know the way and lost the map, but based on the exploration on the island during this period, he was sure that there would be a pier or a coast within a short distance.

When the time comes, he will take the little octopus to the pier and chase it away after driving to a safe place.

Of course, it is not impossible to make a grilled octopus on the spot.

After checking the situation outside, he walked back to Gareth's side.

Gareth was sweating profusely, and his clothes were completely soaked.Tristan whispered a few words in his ear, and Gareth dodged along with him, and went around the wall.

Gao Wen also hurriedly chased it out, closed the gate again, found a broken iron chain from the ground and wrapped it around a few times to prevent the animals inside from running out.

And when he wanted to find the traces of the two old guys again, they had already run into the jungle and disappeared in an instant.

At this time, there was a wailing sound from the old house.Several howls followed.

Gawain was startled and quickly backed away, worried that the beasts would rush out madly because they had no leader who could restrain them.

But it doesn't.

The howls followed one after the other, like howling a wolf or howling a lion.They overlapped and floated under the bloody sky.One after another surged up, and another one dissipated.

It's like a group of bereaved dogs are weeping.

They were jettisoned, jettisoned by Gareth, again.

After being abandoned by the owner, they were captured, hunted, sold, and imprisoned.They took on the form of beasts, and men and sea-folk looked upon them as slaves to beasts.

They ate rotting meat and were kept in cold, hard huts.They fought each other out of control, until one day a "king" similar to them broke in and led them out of the darkness.

But before they saw the light, they were abandoned again.

They looked at the direction where the "king" left, and no matter how simple-minded and beast-like they were, they seemed to begin to understand that there was no place in the world for them.

When he reached the depths of the forest, Gareth didn't leave.

His mind was full of those animal eyes, and it was perhaps the first time he felt that there was someone else in this world who needed him besides Tristan.

"What's going on?" Tristan took a few steps forward, but he didn't see Gareth following him, and walked back to stare at him, "Don't tell me the fuck you want to go back and save them, they're a bunch of beasts, beasts It’s been melting for too long, it’s hopeless.”

Gareth didn't speak, his hand holding the sharp knife trembled even more.

Ever since he learned about the situation with "The Beast", he has been wondering what would have happened to him if he hadn't been assigned to Tristan, or if Tristan hadn't violated the rules and led him to die .Will he be caught and killed by Lu Wu, or will he be captured by other hunters, offer a large reward of gold, and then be locked up with the beasts behind him?

He didn't know, he was terrified, but also thankful.He expressed endless gratitude to Tristan, but his gratitude was also mixed with his incomprehension and resentment towards this system and life arrangement.

He's human, that's what he's known for over 30 years.He behaved well as a human being, proving that the nature of animals is also human.

But why some people are masters and some people are dogs.Some people's lives are worth a thousand gold, while others' death is worthless.

Every day he and Tristan were bounty hunters, they weighed human lives with money.But it seems that he didn't understand until now - life is difficult to measure with money, even if the other party is just a beast.

"I don't want...I don't want to leave them," Gareth whispered, moving the sharp knife from Crewe's neck a little.

"Are you fucking stupid?!" Tristan rushed over and slapped him on the back of the head.Seeing that Gareth was indeed looking very depressed, he was even more angry.

Gareth swallowed hard, shook his head, and said, "I'm a beast too, we're leaving them to die, just—"

"Then let them die!"

Tristan held Gareth's head in his hands, looked at Gareth's face in surprise, took a deep breath, and said forcefully—"You were brought out by me, their lives are different from yours. You Don't, don't fucking let me make a mistake at this juncture, do you understand?"

Inertia made Gareth want to nod again, but as soon as he nodded, the car stopped.

No, this time is different.For some reason, this time, he just couldn't listen to Tristan.

His heart was hurting. If Tristan hadn't woken up, maybe he didn't care about other people's life or death.But now that Tristan woke up, the stone in his heart was released.Gareth was off to do something else—something else, something he personally thought was right.

"You... can you be a little human?" Gareth muttered very dissatisfied.

But it was this sentence that made Tristan furious.

He slammed Gareth's head hard, and cursed-"I'm fucking inhuman? I'm inhuman and I've been with you for so many years, you stupid beast?! You fucking talk to me about humanity, your gene Whether the lock is fucking unlocked or not, you can't even say-"

Before Tristan finished speaking, Gareth put away the sharp knife.Crewe's tentacles softened and he slumped on the ground.

And Gareth took two steps back, took out the potion in his pocket in one go, and before Tristan could react, he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

"You go first, you go back to Sunny Sky," Gareth threw the medicine bottle aside, and said to the stunned Tristan, "If I'm not dead...I...I'll go back and find you."

After speaking, he flicked the little octopus on his shoulder, and walked in the direction he came from without hesitation.
