A week away from the eastern border of mankind, it is another night of purple thunder moon.
The special team plus the elf killer Docmundo sat around a makeshift campfire roasting the tailless rabbits that are unique to the northern part of the Tali Plain. Jielin's injuries have almost recovered after a week of recuperation. It is difficult to do so in the Tali Plains.
When they saw the water source, the water resource Bucherington prepared before leaving the border was only enough for drinking, not enough for washing. Everyone in the special team now had extremely dark faces.
Jie Lin was dissatisfied as she poked the fire with a short branch of wood and glanced back and forth at the team members. She had always paid attention to her own cleanliness, but after entering the Tali Plain, Buchington did not specifically look for a place with water. So far,
It was difficult to even take a shower. Naturally, she was filled with complaints. The sticky and uncomfortable feeling on her body was already unbearable. It happened that the campsite this time was less than two kilometers away from the water source marked on the map. She wanted to find someone to accompany her.
She went. Arthur was sitting next to Buchlinton discussing the route for tomorrow, Jace was roasting rabbit meat, Lagtis was just a piece of wood, and only Docmund was there?
Regarding Docmundo, Jie Lin only heard from Buchlington and Arthur that it was an elf brought out from Tommyer Town. When she was injured, she lost consciousness and fell to the ground without reacting at all. She was completely unaware of what she had done.
The murderer with the abdominal laceration stayed with her for eight days a week. Jielin waited for a while and finally decided to find the only child present who was younger than him.
Jie Lin quietly walked up to Arthur and Buchlington, who were looking at the border line carefully to buy a map of the northern part of the Tali Plain. She coughed twice to attract Arthur's attention. But Arthur had no intention of looking back and just pointed at Buchington.
Qilington analyzed a route drawn: "Captain, this thorny road will be harmful to the carriage. Although the distance will indeed be shortened by about two days, the question is whether the horses can endure it."
After waiting for a few seconds, Jie Lin raised her voice and coughed twice again, but Arthur also raised his voice, trying to cover up Jie Lin's voice. Only Buchlinton looked at the childish behavior of the two people in embarrassment.
"What are you doing!" Jie Lin kicked Arthur in the back. Arthur turned around and ran away, "bastard Jie Lin, you must have dragged me to find a bathing place again. The day before yesterday
Isn’t it enough to meet a leopard?"
Jie Lin immediately picked up a wooden stick and chased after him. The remaining members of the special team helplessly looked at what would happen the next day after entering the Tali Plains, and went back to their own affairs.
Twenty minutes later, Arthur rubbed his red and swollen left face and looked at the map to find the water source Jielin needed in a palm forest two kilometers away from the special team's station. "Jielin, you must know the reason why I gave up.
I let you because you are a girl or a technician. The captain said that I have to take care of you." Arthur swung his sword to cut off a large leaf blocking the way, and accused everyone in as serious a tone as possible.
Jie Lin who embarrassed him in front of the team members.
Jie Lin was traveling lightly at the moment, without her iconic straw hat, her hair was loose, and she was only wearing a casual textile. After listening to Arthur's complaints, she kicked Arthur's butt mercilessly.
: "Stop complaining and chop down more trees. You can't even think of a way to deal with the sticky sap on the trees. Where has your gentlemanly demeanor gone?"
The vegetation growing on the Tari Plain is not like the elephant trunk trees and fir trees with thick stems near human towns, but more densely covered bushes with large leaves. The Tari Plain covers the center of the southern continent.
The largest area of the Southern Continent. Due to the unique geothermal environment, most of the plants are short and dense. The animals in this plain area also have thicker and shorter limbs than the rest of the Southern Continent. The most famous one is the Flatland Hunter Tower.
Leopards, even lions, are not necessarily rivals of leopards whose size is closer to cats.
Arthur pushed aside the needles blocking his eyes and stepped on the sand with a texture that was obviously different from that of the forest. A curve of clear pool appeared in front of Arthur. Before the coolness could make Arthur feel excited, a huge force came from Asia.
Se knocked Arthur to the ground behind him. Jie Lin screamed and ran towards the pool. She untied her clothes without any scruples and still found them on the sand. As soon as Arthur got up from the ground and was about to raise his head, Jie Lin faced him.
The murderous aura caused him to quickly maintain his original position, turned around and walked back to the palm tree, sitting on the ground with his back against a tree trunk.
This is the first time in a week that the two of them have found a good water source. A few days ago, they met the Tali Leopard, the overlord of the Tali Plain. If Buchlinton hadn't arrived in time to drive him away with gunshots, Arthur would probably be lame in one leg now.
Help Jie Lin find water for cleaning.
At this moment, Jie Lin was already soaking in a small pool of water, humming a song, "Kid, don't look so casually, or I'll shoot your eyeballs out." Hearing Jie Lin's murderous warning, Arthur muttered and looked to see what was coming.
While passing the time with interesting things, I accidentally noticed a few short-legged foxes running through the coniferous forest not far away. This actually made the boring wait interesting. Arthur imitated the roar of a lion with great interest.
He followed a few little foxes that were running away in panic. It wasn't until they fled away in panic that Arthur sneered and found a comfortable position to sit down again and wait for Jielin to take a bath.
The little foxes come here to drink water, right? There is only such a water source nearby. In other words, the surrounding animals will come here to drink water. Think about what those little foxes would do if they encountered a large carnivore while drinking water.
?Thinking of this, Arthur suddenly realized that at some point, Jie Lin's humming voice could no longer be heard, and the surroundings were so quiet as if nothing existed. This unfounded silence made Arthur's whole body wrap up with arcs of warning. This feeling was still there
Appeared when being targeted by Tali Leopard.
Something's not quite right here.
Arthur leaned against the tree trunk and looked back carefully. As he expected, Jie Lin's figure was no longer visible in the middle of the pool. Apart from Jie Lin's clothes scattered on the sand, there were no traces. All that was left was... Arthur
The current flowed through his back, and the roar of the beast came from behind Arthur. This sense of oppression was obviously not something that a fox could give. If an ordinary person had his back to a large beast, if he ran forward, he would be jumped by the beast, and if he turned his head, he would be directly attacked.
Bite his throat. At this moment, all Arthur can rely on is his own reflexes.
Arthur was now in a sitting position. He couldn't help but think too much. He rolled over twice to avoid the beast's first attack point. When he looked up, he saw a short-haired lion biting at the spot where Arthur was just now. Arthur quickly rolled over.
Dai Ceng stood up, took out the dagger from behind and held it in front of him. The lion's attack failed, and he adjusted his posture and roared towards Arthur again.
Before the lion's front claws fell, Arthur raised his dagger and moved sideways. He wanted to use the dagger to attack the lion while avoiding the lion's claws. However, after all, the instinct of the beast was honed in constant pursuit and escape.
When he came out, the lion hit Arthur with his body against the dagger that Arthur had drawn. Arthur staggered and fell onto the needles of a palm tree. Continuous gunshots rang out from the other side of the pool. It was Jie Lin.
Arthur had seen the small pistol he always carried with him once when he was in Lumby Town. It seemed that Jie Lin was safe at least for now, but she also encountered a crisis.
The lion didn't give Arthur much free time. He jumped forward and pushed Arthur down. He pressed his front paws on Arthur's hand and roared at Arthur on the ground. His saliva dripped on Arthur's face along with his sharp teeth.
Arthur gritted his teeth and tried desperately to turn over, but he was still unable to break free from the lion's front paws. He even dropped the dagger in his hand and could not pick it up.
The lion opened its mouth and bit down. The gunshot stimulated its ferocity. It just wanted to tear apart the body of the food in front of it. It seemed that there was no way to break free by itself. Could it be that we could only wait for Jielin to solve the crisis on her side and come to rescue her?
Himself? That's too late... Could it be that lightning surged from Arthur's body in an instant, and everything around him slowed down in Arthur's eyes, and the saliva dripping from the lion's teeth in front of him was very slow. On the contrary,
Arthur could hear his heart beating violently with a rhythmic beat, and there was a voice calling him in Arthur's body.
That was the sound of thunder and lightning elements. This time, in addition to Arthur's name, there was another content mixed in the electric sound. It was a roar with an increasingly higher pitch from far to near. It was enough to hear it inside Qisheng's skull.
There was a loud noise, and Arthur's eyes turned into dazzling lightning, and he murmured an unknown language that the electric light in his body repeated in his mind from time to time. Under the purple moonlight, several thunderclouds gradually gathered in the clear night sky. There was a loud cracking sound.
The roar of the eardrum came from under the lion's left front paw. In less than a second, the lion's left front paw turned into a ball of blood mist amidst the loud noise.
Arthur rolled over and climbed up. When the lion rolled to the side and howled, he sat on the lion and covered the lion with his hands again. There was another explosion, and a ferocious carnivorous animal turned into blood mist and splashed on Arthur.
