brother wolf

It's a swamp with knee-deep water, and we've been trudging through it for three full days, and we're all relieved to be out of this dank, blood-sucking worm-infested place.

It is already the fifth day of our journey, and what we are looking for is a barbarian hidden on this continent.

Ten days ago, when Malrose threw out the explosive news, I knew that I could no longer hide the abnormality of my body. In desperation, I had no choice but to briefly explain the matter under the silent gaze of the boss. For a moment, of course, it is under the premise of turning the big things into the small things as much as possible.

The end result is that the boss spared Malrose's life, on the condition that our guide finds the barbarian who can save me.

The boss wrote a letter asking Storm to hand it over to Golden Retriever, and Golden Retriever will then rush to Xiluo to command the army there, and all the things here will be entrusted to the boss. This is a decision made under the strong request of Golden Retriever , the boss didn't understand why the golden retriever did this, but he was very happy to accept this arrangement.

When I was taken away by Malros, the Black Wolf King followed us far away. When we boarded the broken ship and left Tyre, he led some wolves to the city of Tyre, which caused a great deal of trouble. The commotion, it found Candy, and took him and the golden retriever to the shallows.

Then it was to find clues and inform the Pirate King Storm as quickly as possible.

If you're looking for someone on the Inland Sea, Storm will never let you down.

When the boss arrived at Mitras Island, he heard the news of my disappearance, so he stayed on the island, or together with the pirates, searched for the trace of the broken ship in the entire inland sea, and finally, at last Five days found us.

According to Malrose's confession, he accidentally encountered that barbarian when he was hunting animals on the mainland. With his weak magical power and the few words that Ignatius once revealed, he asserted that this unknown nation Definitely related to the magicians from over 300 years ago.

The totem of this nation is very special. It is not the animals and plants popularly used by ordinary barbarians, but the pentagram widely used in magic. It is this that arouses the suspicion of the suspicious Malroth.

After living in their settlement for a period of time, he finally left this place full of doubts. The unsolvable doubts plagued him for a while, and it was not until a long time later that he gradually forgot. It was only then that I finally remembered.

After passing the swamp, we came to a lake, and took a canoe, which, after passing the wide lake, entered the narrow channel of a tributary.

On both sides of the waterway are tall aquatic plants, which completely close the waterway, but leave a natural and imperceptible channel.The endless paddling made the journey more and more monotonous and tedious, and the heat oppressed me.

The boss rowed, and Malrose, who had lost a hand, and I, who was so weak from the pain, did not have this ability.

The boss has a strong learning ability. He didn’t master the trick at the beginning, so he let the canoe turn around on the lake. After a few attempts, he could use light movements to make the boat break through the lake water and move forward, quietly like a fallen leaf. Same.

From the moment he entered this waterway, Malros was in a state of nervousness whenever there was any disturbance. The mercenary leader seemed to be a little uneasy about the place he was about to go to, and it could even be said to be fearful.

He even begged the boss to give him a weapon, and promised that if he made any changes, the boss could kill him directly.

But the boss just glanced at him without answering, I know what the boss means, maybe he doesn't care about Malrose's sudden attack, but he is worried about me.

It seems that the charters we are looking for are by no means peaceful and friendly.

This hidden waterway is continuous and twists and turns, as if it has no end.

The boss stopped from time to time, listening attentively to the movement around him. He looked at the dense aquatic plants around him and said softly, "Someone has been following us."

I nodded, indicating that I had noticed this too.

Our weapons lay at our feet, and I took the sword in my hand and looked around vigilantly, but saw no living things except the layers of leaves.

The place is surprisingly quiet.

The water surface is shady, eerie and eerie.

Occasionally, with my keen hearing, I could hear the leaves rustling around me, but when I looked over at once, I saw only gently shaking leaves and shadows between them.

The eldest's dark brown eyes turned black in the shade.

After so long, Malrose's memory became unreliable, and he pointed here and there, and we walked through the complicated waterways.

I doubt very much that Malrose was deliberately leading us in the wrong direction, because he was cowardly.

After asking twice and getting an uncertain answer, the boss didn't speak anymore. He completely took Malrose's yelling as air, looked at him with calm and restrained eyes, and said, if he has any dissatisfaction You can leave now, diving or what, it doesn't matter, he won't stop it.

He just listened carefully to the movements around him, and drove towards the places with the most movements.

This method is very practical, and soon, I found that the slight rustling sound around us became more and more dense, as if more and more people were watching us from a dark place that we couldn't see.

We are going in the right direction.

The further he went in that direction, the slower the boss paddled, and Malros's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his dry face was flushed, and his hands were clutching the side of the boat, as if he was about to abandon the boat and escape at any time.

But, in fact, we are all at a point of no return. The natives who sent us here have long said that there is a kind of small piranha in these waterways. Be careful, if you fall into the water, you may be killed. The swarming piranhas gnawed away only a skeleton in a short period of time.

These piranhas are demons that only appeared hundreds of years ago, and their ancestors were once swallowed by such piranhas.

The originally wide waterway became narrower and narrower. Gradually, even this canoe was difficult to pass. We were looking for a place to go ashore.

About ten meters away from us, there is a not-so-obvious path, where animals or people should often pass by, although it has been carefully concealed, it can't deceive me and the boss.

We approached the canoe and went ashore. The boss dragged the canoe up and hid it in the grass next to it.

Malrose reluctantly walked in the front, I followed, and the boss followed behind with a long sword.

We had to bend down to walk on this road, because the surrounding trees are too dense, and the branches are laid down, making this road sometimes disappear. However, there are always some traces telling us that this road is often used by people, such as the one next to it. A broken branch, a scraped piece of bark over there, a few pieces of grass that were trampled off here, and so on.

The road was not very far, and we came to a green lawn.

This lawn is approximately a perfect circle, with a clear boundary with the surrounding dense forest, as if there is an invisible barrier, blocking those lush and extremely vigorous trees from the outside.

The boss stood beside me and whispered, "This is it."

I nodded, because I saw some people coming out of the jungle one after another, and they stood in front of us in a semicircle.

Most of them only wore a fig leaf on their crotch, and they did not have any metal or other decorations on their bodies, only some dense totems and tattoos.

I looked at those patterns and found them very familiar. They seemed to be the formations and graphics related to magic that I read from the magic book, such as the circular formation on the chest of the person standing in the middle, engraved with The densely packed Elki characters are complex characters unique to magicians, and they are very difficult to master.

The weapons they used for self-defense were arrows and spears topped with sharpened animal bones, fish bones, and wood chips.

Their long hair is scattered behind their necks, and the appearance of most of them is not rough at all, it can even be called upright, revealing some residual elegance.

The boss stood in front of me and looked at the people in front of me defensively. He slowly spread his hands to express his kindness and peace. He said in a common language, "We are friends from afar. Help comes, my friend faces misfortune, and only you, the valiant charters, can help us."

However, his words did not elicit a positive reaction from them. Instead, they were alarmed. Those people with arrows in their hands, full of bows, already wanted to fight us.

I heard a person on the opposite side say something. His language is not a common language, nor is it an unknown barbarian language, but a homework we have learned--Elkven.

Because of the cleansing of the Rus Empire, this once widely spread language suffered a devastating blow, leaving only a few materials for future research, and the pronunciation of Erkiwen was lost. Through the efforts of several generations, Just understand part of the pronunciation of the language.

I should have thought that since they were remnants of the magical age, knowing Elki should be taken for granted.

I tried my best to spit out a few words, the boss broke a branch, and wrote a few sentences composed of Elki letters on the ground.

However, after hundreds of years of development, the Elki language used by this isolated people has also undergone great changes. Their pronunciation is very different from the Elki language I learned. Determine whether they can understand, and El Kiwen, as if those magicians deliberately flaunted their intelligence, they designed El Kiwen to be extremely complicated to prevent ordinary people from easily mastering it.

I looked at the people on the opposite side in a daze. They were stunned for a while, as if they were very surprised by our actions. After waiting and getting an incomprehensible reaction, they finally became impatient.

Shouting with unknown meaning in his mouth, the voice resonated in the jungle, and it didn't spread very far. The boss and I are very familiar with the rhythm of the battle, and we feel very clearly that these people, they are about to attack.
