The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 329 Detour
two days ago
On a mountain less than ten kilometers away from Taojiang, Andy looked at Anna who suddenly stopped in front of him, and called out a little strangely: "Sister? Why did you stop?"

"Something's wrong..." Anna seemed to be answering his words, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Confused by her words, Andy asked, "Did someone chase me?"

"No..." Anna shook her head, did not continue, but frowned and began to think about other things.

Seeing Anna bowing her head and frowning thinking about something, Andy didn't dare to disturb her.So I found a tree nearby and did it quietly.

At this time, the sound of wings flapping in the air was heard not far away, "Hu Fan—Hu Fan—"

Andy heard the sound, raised his head, and saw a bat flapping its wings.Quickly flew towards him.

"How is it?" Seeing the bat.Andy immediately stood up happily and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I went around and didn't find anything unusual." The bat said and walked around Andy, looking very proud of it.

After saying this, it seemed a little tired, so it found a tree, hung upside down on the branch, and glanced in Anna's direction, but didn't dare to ask her what she was doing.

Even after so long, in Bat's heart, Anna still cannot be offended.

And Andy naturally knew this, he looked at the bat with some sympathy, knowing that it was afraid of Anna.

And Anna didn't seem to see the interaction between the two, she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, as if she didn't know that the bat was back.

She just frowned and thought quietly, while Andy and Bat didn't dare to disturb her at all.

Time passed slowly like this, and after 5 minutes, Anna raised her head and said to the two, "Let's make a detour."

There was no questioning in her words, she was simply telling a decision that could not be changed.In fact, Andy is no stranger to this situation. He knows better than anyone that his sister wants to be domineering in certain matters.And it turns out that his sister has never missed a lot of things.

However, Andy, who felt that he was no longer a child, still asked, "Why?"

However, Anna didn't seem to want to answer. She just turned her head and glanced at Andy without making a sound.

Knowing that this was her expression of unhappiness, Andy continued to ask: "Why did you take a detour? Didn't my sister say that this matter is very urgent? Let's go from here, which is obviously the fastest way." He said, still She glanced at Anna with some grievances: "And...and I haven't eaten for a long time."

This time, Anna spoke.

But she still didn't answer Andy's question, but raised her head to look at the bat, and asked, "Didn't you find anything different?"

Bat, who had been quietly watching the show, was asked by her, and she glanced at Andy nervously. After receiving no hint, she shook her head and said, "No...no, not at all. Miss Anna, I am not Nothing amiss was found.”

When Anna heard what it said, she let out a "hehe" laugh. The wide brim of her hat covered the expression on her face, but it was still possible to see that it was a mocking smile.

She said; "That's also because you are too weak."

Bat didn't dare to refute her words.He just looked at Andy aggrievedly, wanting to seek his protection.

However, after listening to Anna's words, Andy focused his eyes on his sister, and immediately asked: "Did my sister find out that there is something wrong?"

"Yes." Anna was very patient with her only twin brother, she said, "Don't you find it strange?

In the past thousand years, after so many efforts, we have never been able to safely enter the Eastern Continent once.Even Ethan came in at the cost of all seven being wiped out this time. "

"But this time, we achieved our goal so easily." She said, looked up at the somewhat gray sky and said, "It's simply too easy."

"We've fought those snow monsters too!" Hearing this, Bat replied in a low voice, as if a little unwilling to be treated like this by Anna.

"Snow monster?" As if he had told a big joke, the smile on the corner of Anna's mouth widened, and she said, "Then do you think that is also called an obstacle? Compared with what the tribe experienced before, it is simply , as simple as I want to kill you now."

Her threat was so blatant that the bat screamed, flapped its wings, and flew away.

"Jerry! Jerry! Where are you going?" Seeing it flying away, Andy immediately called out.

"Okay! Leave him alone! We have more important things to do!" Seeing his reaction, Anna suddenly yelled at him, "How many times have I said, don't hang out with that bat all day, Seeing you like this now, how can I rest assured?"

It's been a long time since Andy has seen Anna lose her temper. As her only relative in this world, Andy almost exclusively enjoys all of Anna's tenderness.

Not to mention losing her temper with herself, many times, she would not even say a serious word to herself, so Anna, who had never lost her temper with herself, behaved like this, and Andy was frightened on the one hand.

On the other hand, he began to feel that there was something wrong with Anna.

After all, Jerry has always been like this, and he has been raising Jerry for a long time.

Although my sister was dissatisfied with this before, she never said anything. This time she reacted so violently, which is really incomprehensible.

So after quietly watching Jerry fly away slowly, he stood still and sighed: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing his address, Anna also sighed softly and said: "At the beginning you said you wanted to raise it, so I let you raise it.

But now you look at it, not only does it not help you at all, but it will drag you down.Tell me yourself, has your strength improved since you raised it? "

Andy was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "No."

"I'm not against you raising it, but I want you to become stronger as soon as possible. In our world, the weak have no right to survive. Do you understand that?"

Seeing his cute appearance, Anna slowed down and said, "If you're not strong enough, you won't be able to protect anything, and you'll lose everything in the end."

"I understand, I understand, sister." Hearing her words, Andy seemed to think of something unhappy, and said quickly.

"I can't protect you forever..."

Before Anna finished speaking, Andy interrupted her: "I know all these things, sister, please rest assured, I have grown up, and I will not worry my sister anymore."

"That's good." Anna smiled reassuringly after receiving his assurance.

Seeing that she had finally turned into the older sister he was familiar with, Andy asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with what my sister said before?"

"Our action this time is too simple, I have been thinking since I crossed the white sky, is there something wrong here.

However, on the way here, we all saw the corpses of the clansmen, and their corpses proved that they had gone through a big battle before. "Anna said, looking towards the unknown distance, as if thinking about something.

"But didn't Ethan run away?" Andy asked a little puzzled: "It's because he ran away that we can get the information, isn't it?"

"Yes, according to the situation at the scene, Ethan ran away." Anna echoed his words.

"Isn't that the end? Is there something wrong here?" Andy asked a little puzzled when he heard what she said.

"But now I suspect that the damn tiger came here chasing him." After Anna finished speaking, she turned her eyes from an unknown distance, looking at her only younger brother who was still very young and inexperienced. Said.

"Ah?" Andy, who obviously didn't expect this, couldn't react: "Why do you say that?"

"Because according to Ethan's information, he should be lurking on the nearby snow mountain.

But you have also seen that the neighborhood is so peaceful, and there is no trace of him. "Anna said, pointing to Taojiang not far down the mountain.

Following her hand, Andy saw the very bustling Taojiang River. He frowned and said, "After all, they came here secretly, so they shouldn't be so arrogant, right?"

"No, you don't know him well. With his character, if there is nothing wrong, he will never hide." Anna shook her head and said.

"Then what does sister mean?" Andy asked after hearing this, remembering Ethan's behavior before.

"I think he must have some unavoidable reason, so he hid.

What it is I don't know, but what I'm worried about now is that the goddamn tiger chased him here. "

Anna said, looking at Taojiang not far away with worried eyes, and said: "Also, I vaguely felt a kind of breath, which belongs to the strong..."

Her voice gradually diminished until it disappeared.

"Then what should we do? The master gave us an order to resolve the matter here as soon as possible!" Andy said immediately when he heard this.

"Nothing to do, but for the sake of safety, let's go around here. Don't pass by human towns, let's go up the mountain from the other side." Anna said, pointing to the snow-capped mountains not far away, "Anyway, there That's our goal, Ethan, right there."

The hope of my family is also there.
