Journey to the Rose

Wen Kai's analysis is correct, since the retrograde people are all heading in one direction, they must be saving lives.

All the way across a wide wilderness and a forest, there are several mountains standing on the field in the distance.

After noon, the group of them came to a cave.

Although guarded by people from Ogre City, they still had the guts to go around the cave and see that there were indeed a dozen containers inside... only a dozen.

That is to say, all containers are not transshipped uniformly, they are kept scattered, and some are in various corners of the city.

But it is not so much a cave as it is a small valley.

Because it is about to border the north, there are some not-so-high mountains here, and a deep "line of sky" canyon is inevitably formed between the two mountains.

The mountains here are rugged and inaccessible. The containers are well hidden between the mountains, and the mountains have become a natural barrier.

Wen Kai was sure that Li Shen must be here.

Because Song Shumian was also flying along all the way, sometimes flying to the front intentionally or unintentionally, as if he could find his way.

Moreover, puffins are a typical species of seabirds, they are very adaptable to the environment, and they are completely handy in finding their way.

"It should be here, young master," Wen Kai said in a low voice, holding the longbow tightly in his hand, pointing with the tip of the arrow, "Song Shumian has been leading the way just now, he seems to have been here before."

Lu Zhenghe nodded.

"Take..."

Suddenly thought of something, Lu Zhenghe took out a newly drawn hand-painted map from his pocket, folded it into a triangle, moved his hand behind his back, and stuffed the map into Ruan Xi's "gun and vest", saying, "Ruan Xi , if you are the only one who left here, then go all the way northeast according to my map, don't tell anyone who you are, and don't look back."

The kitten didn't respond or meow, it just arched his back.It seems to be protesting.

After discussion, the dozen or so people who came to the rescue decided to act together.Although they all have knives and guns, the individual strength of ordinary people is definitely not as strong as the Ogre people who are strong and good at fighting.

They lined up in two rows, guarding left and right, and slowly walked into the valley. The cliffs of the mountains on both sides sloped more and more towards the middle, causing the sky to become darker and darker, until there was only one crack where there was still bright sunlight falling down.

For the time being, there is no trace of the ogre city people.

Wen Kai has sharp eyes, observing the surrounding situation all the time.

Soon, he saw murals painted with paint on the mountain walls on both sides.

The above is simple with many inverted pentagrams——

It symbolizes evil.

This means that it is a secret that has not been exposed to the outside world, but a desire hidden deep in the heart.

It seems that this is not an accidental base, but a secret place of ogre city people.

The little bird hovered above Wen Kai's head.

Wen Kai followed its wings and saw some portraits and names in a hidden place on the mountain wall.

The speed of the bird's flight slows down.

It flapped its wings, landed slowly on one of the portraits of men, and stroked it with its wings.

Among a bunch of portraits of ogre people, this man has tough eyebrows, full of vigor, and looks like a completely normal person. His mouth is not protruding and huge, and his shoulders seem to be a little narrower.

Mixed race?

Wen Kai was puzzled, stretched out his index finger, smoothed the bird's feathers with his fingertips, and whispered: "Do you know him?"

The little bird didn't shake his head frantically in denial, but seemed to admit it.It paused for the webbing, and poked the portrait violently with its pointed beak.

It stared round eyes, which were as dark as ink, and could not see sorrow or joy.

If Ruan Xi could see it, he would naturally think of Song Shumian's calm and sad expression when he mentioned "he is dead" when they met in the earthquake city.

After staring for a few seconds, tears fell from the bird's eyes.

Wen Kai's first reaction was whether Song Shumian's eyes were uncomfortable.Birds cry only because of lacrimal gland lesions or need for moisture.

However, all living beings are sentient.

"Is this your old friend?"

As Wen Kai said, he thought about it.

Ruan Xi and Wen Kai grew up together, they are both omega, and they don't have many friends, so there should be only one who can make Song Shumian cry so much, and that is what he said - the dead boyfriend.

"This is your boyfriend. The one who died." He asked.

The little bird nodded, trying to fold its wings behind him, and tilted its neck back, as if hinting at his glands.

Wen Kai frowned: "The loss of your glands has something to do with him?"

Bird still nodded.

Then it cried even more, and kept wiping its tears with its wings. Wen Kai only hated that he didn't have a tissue on his body, otherwise he was worried that Song Shumian's wings would get wet later and he wouldn't be able to fly.

"I think... you should leave Ablaze City together," Wen Kai said, "but you didn't meet Ruan Xi and the young master on the road to Beast City, including the roads in the next few cities. Is it you Boyfriend told you, which way should you go?"

The little bird no longer had the strength to nod.

Seeing that it did not deny it, Wen Kai continued: "Then you were misled by him, avoided the correct path, and walked into the trap he set up. Then...his accomplice took your gland?"

Lu Zhenghe has been listening by the side.

He could feel that Ruan Xi was kicking his legs crazily, and avoided the wound obediently. Ruan Xi wanted to talk very much.

But no matter what, Ruan Xi can't be released now.

Lu Zhenghe frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Did you only take your glands?"

Wen Kai reminded: "Earthquake City is so far away from here, the people of Ogre City may feel that killing it too early is not new."

Lu Zhenghe was stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, what Wen Kai said was not unreasonable.

Because omega will become an animal as soon as it comes to Ogre City, and it is very precious, so if you want to eat it, you must kill it in advance.

In this way, it makes sense that Song Shumian's glands were taken.

Song Shumian, who had his glands removed, had no smell, was not easy to be targeted by other alphas, had no estrus, was not attractive, and was convenient for them to bring back.

And Song Shumian's boyfriend is the one who wanted to betray his omega from the very beginning.

But no one expected the earthquake in Earthquake City.

The earthquake caused the omega they had carefully captured to disappear.

The brave and foolish people of Ogre City gave up hunting.In other words, those who wanted to put Song Shumian to death had never targeted Lu Zhenghe and the others.

It was only because of an unexpected earthquake that two parallel lines intersected together.

The little bird spread its wings and landed in Wen Kai's palm.

"fine……"

Wen Kai patted his head, feeling very distressed, and couldn't understand how someone could be so vicious.

"Let's go," Lu Zhenghe patted Wen Kai's shoulder, "Let's rescue Li Shen first."

He was very worried about Ruan Xi's low mood.

He already felt the other party's emotions from the gradually softening kitten's paws.

People keep going.

Lu Zhenghe was holding a gun, and wanted to charge forward, but he still had Ruan Xi on his back.

The kitten's paws made his wound hurt, and the new flesh also made the wound slightly itchy, which greatly affected his performance.

A good gunner will not allow any sloppy when aiming and pulling the trigger.

Feeling the footsteps of many people, the victims in the container were no longer quiet, but desperately hit the inner wall of the container with their bodies, and the sound of ping-pong-pong echoed in the empty and narrow valley.

Everyone's heart reached their throats.

"I'll take people to ambush, and use guns to lift heads one by one. Back up, don't carry them up hard," Lu Zhenghe's eyes were bloodshot, and he ordered Wen Kai, "Try to lead them to our side."

The closer you are, the easier it is to fight.

"it is good."

Wen Kai nodded and moved his hand forward. Those without guns followed him and ran a few steps forward. Lu Zhenghe led those with guns and ambushed behind a small rock in the valley. exposed.

The people from Ogre City haven't appeared yet, but Wen Kai quickly noticed something was wrong with Ruan Xi.

As a kitten, Ruan Xi's hearing is very good now, it seems to have heard other sounds, and it becomes alert in its heart, with its long tail pointing down, gently raising the tip of the tail, revealing its snow-white cat claws from time to time.

Wen Kai narrowed his eyes.

This is a sign that the kitten is alert.

Ruan Xi suddenly behaved like this, it must have heard something that humans couldn't hear.

Before Wen Kai's idea could be implemented, the crowd in front suddenly became agitated——

It was Lu Zhenghe's first shot that directly hit the head of a man from Ogre City.

That person, no, maybe he can no longer be classified as a person.

The monster was as strong as a mountain, its skin was abnormally black and red, like a volcano erupted, bleeding from its forehead, and fell on its back, causing the ground to vibrate violently.

It just fell, and four or five ogre city monsters holding axes rushed out from behind the container.

And it seems that there is really Li Shen in a certain container.

Because Li Shen could distinguish the sound of Lu Zhenghe's gun, and he could probably hear the caliber and what kind of gun it was...

Just after Lu Zhenghe's first shot came out, a certain container began to vibrate violently.

Wen Kai immediately locked on to which one was hiding Li Shen.

He felt an unspeakable force rising from his heart, like a flood opening, washing every corner of his body.

In just this moment, Wen Kai suddenly realized.

That night in Dawn City, Li Shen asked Ruan Xi to teach him how to use a knife. Ruan Xi said: First of all, you must have someone you want to protect very much.Imagine that person standing behind you.

He wanted to save Li Shen.

He also wanted to protect Lu Zhenghe, Ruan Xi, and Gu Zirong who was so stupid in fighting.

"boom--"

"Boom-boom-"

After another man with a rifle pointed a monster, Lu Zhenghe adjusted his breathing and took two Tianling caps. The two looked at each other. Pointing behind him.

These monsters were getting closer and closer, and he had to take Ruan Xi back, fighting while retreating.

Lu Zheng He Duan. The gun was behind him. Since his actions were not as flexible as before and he was carrying Ruan Xi, he stepped aside to shoot.

His bullets pierced the enemy's skin and flew away like steel nails, firmly fixing the monsters on the pillar of shame.

There was another sound of weapons colliding in the valley.

Between the lightning and the flint, the dust on the ground was flying because of the fighting.

Including Lu Zhenghe, only a few people had guns, and they all retreated while fighting. Those who rushed forward to hold the ax were almost unable to hold on.

Dodging the oncoming axe, Wen Kai wiped away the blood spattered on the tip of his nose.

He rarely and rudely "spit" a mouthful of blood.

Wen Kai rolled up his cuffs, moved his arm back, and caught a sharp arrow in his palm.He returned the longbow to his chest, tapped the bowstring with his fingers and pulled back the sharp arrow, squinted his eyes, and aimed at the target. With a sound like a silver needle piercing the air, the sharp arrow left the string and was replaced by The sound of the arrow falling into the gun.

A large part of the reason why Li Shen's "ghost crossbow" is called a "ghost" is that it is silent. This weapon is lethal at night.

But now it's broad daylight, and Wen Kai can't get anything good.

A roar suddenly exploded in his ear.

Ogre 80 Falling Feather.
