"So that's how it is..."

The boy—he should be called Ryan at this moment, after knowing his identity from other people, he was a little strangely quiet, but his slightly trembling shoulders revealed his excitement at the moment, "Aas...is in danger to find me. ,I……"

Arend sighed softly, walked over his brother's thin shoulders, and gently rubbed the top of his hair, "You have to trust Yas, he won't die so easily without seeing you."

Ryan raised his tear-smeared face to look at Arendt, and then moved away a little uncomfortably.Seeing his little moves, Arend raised his brows slightly. Ryan used to like to pester others and act like a baby. After losing his memory, he is really different. Is it good or bad? "What should we do now, how can we save Yas?" Come out." Ryan wiped his tears, feeling a little guilty towards this strange brother because of his actions just now, but his mood was immediately filled with deep worry.Yas still doesn't know what kind of torture he is suffering, he needs to be strong!

Arendt pondered for a while, then said

"I'm going to go to Lake Tana to check first. After all, no one knows what's in this lake. It's too risky for everyone to go together. Kisai, you and Caesar find a safe place to settle Ryan and the others. Once I find Yasi will go back and inform you. Then we will find a way to rescue him.”

"Then, I, I also──"

"I know what you're going to say." Arend interrupted Ryan coldly, "This is no joke, there are creatures in the lake that Astor can't deal with!"

Ryan lowered his head and didn't speak, but bit his lower lip tightly, his little mouth was bitten so bloodless.Seeing his appearance, Arendt also knew that what he said was a bit serious, and she was a little bit reluctant.He rubbed his younger brother's head and leaned it gently on his shoulder. When he was a child, Ryan would lie on his body and sniff his nose pitifully like this when he was wronged.Sure enough, hearing Ryan's sobs, Arendt twitched the corner of his mouth, "Trust me, brother will not let you down."

……

The cold moonlight shines on the lake.Compared with the daytime, the coldness of the night is unbearable.

The water in the lake was bitingly cold, there was no wind on the surface of the lake, and not even the chirping of insects could be heard.

Yas was still hanging in the same place with his head held high, and he didn't make any sound when the murloc rushed up, let alone begging for mercy.The arrogance in the black eyes has not been diminished by the torture.

The dark body was covered with countless scars, including tears and scratches, and the wide wings were covered with dense thorn marks and strangle marks.Yas twitched the corner of his mouth and tasted a trace of blood. His bright black eyes seemed to be lit in the darkness, and he stared coldly at the lake not far away.Although there was no movement on the surface of Lake Tana, he knew that those murlocs must be spying on him underwater and would not let down their vigilance against him.

What is their purpose?Yas's black eyes narrowed suddenly, the murlocs were not in a hurry to kill him, they seemed to be loyal to this cruel game.He lasted long enough, long enough to make the murloc start to feel uneasy, and the evidence was the multiplication of wounds on his body in the past few days.He won't fall down so soon, he knows that one more day will give him more hope.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the lake, and the information mixed in the wind flashed by, so fast that Yas almost thought it was just his own illusion.He raised his head quickly, with sharp gazes in his eyes, a few faint light spots suddenly appeared on the originally dark lakeshore, like fireflies dancing intermittently in a summer night. There was just a smile line on the corner of his lips——he really waited until the murlocs in the lake were disturbed by the wind, looked up for a while, and swam back to the original place after seeing nothing unusual. No one noticed a small gray bird landed on the ground. on the shoulder of Yas, and flew back to the shore of the lake silently after a while...

……

"Murloc!?"

Kissey was the first to frown. After Arend came back, he informed everyone of the current situation of Yas, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief, and the news from the bird following him made the atmosphere dignified again. Don't worry, the murlocs that Yas said are completely different from Yi." Arend patted his friend, and continued to relay what the bird brought back, "This entire Lake Tana is the domain of murlocs. They are extremely ferocious. All creatures that stray into the lake will not survive.”

"Ah!" Ryan exclaimed, "Isn't Naas very dangerous?"

"...not necessarily." Arendt raised his hand, and the bird flapped its wings and flew away alone. "Ass said that the murlocs will not directly kill the creatures that enter Lake Tana, but torture them for a period of time and let them bear it by themselves." not resting until he becomes weak and dies."

"You mean—" Caesar took up Arendt's words, "They won't kill Yas directly, but torture Yas non-stop. Why do they take so much trouble? Isn't that strange?"

"Maybe they have a reason," Kisai said after pondering for a while, "Many tribes have their own unique traditions, which is very similar to the sacrificial methods of some aquatic tribes. It is very likely that this is the tradition of the murloc tribe."

"I don't care if his tradition is unconventional, the most important thing is to rescue Yas first!" Ryan couldn't help shouting from the side, he couldn't bear to see Yas suffer, and he would be tortured for another day My heart was aching for another day, "But, the lake is full of murlocs, and we will be caught by them when we step into the water, let alone save people."

Lianhua articulated the biggest problem at the moment, and everyone was silent for a while.

"That's right!" Ryan suddenly shouted, "Didn't those birds help Yas! Can we rely on them to rescue Yas?"

"It doesn't work," Arendt shook his head first, "That's too big of a target, and the birds will be spotted by the murlocs before they get close to Yas."

"Damn it!" Ryan yelled angrily, "Then what should we do? How can we save Yas!"

"Or we can create some trouble for the murlocs so that they have no time to care about Yas."

"It's not very feasible." Kisai shook his head, denying Caesar's idea, "We don't know how many murlocs there are. And Lake Tana is so big, we can't divert the attention of all the murlocs..."

"Then what should we do, wait for the clansmen to come to support us?" Caesar plucked his hair irritably. "By then, Yas might be—"

"Wait! I thought of it"

When everyone was troubled, Lianhua suddenly stood up with a loud cry, and excited light flashed in his eyes, "I thought of it! There is a large swamp and wetland near Lake Tana, and there must be a lot of methane in it. The main component is methane, and it is insoluble in water, we can pass it to Lake Tana──”

"Wait!" Ryan couldn't help interrupting him, "Lianhua, please speak slowly, what kind of methane, what kind of pills, I don't understand."

Lianhua patiently explained, "Organic matter in swamps, lakes, and river canal sludge can be decomposed by various anaerobic bacteria to produce biogas. This is a combustible gas."

"Can it burn?!" Ryan's eyes widened, and then he asked in confusion, "You said it's gas, how do you channel it into Lake Tana?"

"Mangroves can be used!" Arendt, who had been silent all this time, said at this time, "There are mangroves all over the criss-crossing tributaries of the Sitana River. Their roots are thick and long, and they are deep in the bottom of the lake."

"What's even better is that the root system of the mangrove tree is hollow inside," Caesar took Arendt's words enthusiastically, "it can be used as a pipe!"

"That's right!" Lianhua said confidently with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "We can control the amount of methane to ignite on the lake, and the flames of the methane will attract a kind of creature—"

"! Worm!" Ryan also understood Lianhua's plan at this moment, shouted excitedly, and jumped up with Lianhua in his arms, "! The murlocs will definitely devote their energy to deal with them when the worm enters the lake! At that time we will You can take advantage of the chaos to rescue Yas! Lianhua, you are amazing!"

"This method is indeed feasible." Arendt looked at his dancing brother and smiled slightly. "Then, let's do it right away."
