Extraordinary noble man

***

Creel's discovery immediately attracted the attention of the group of orcs. After digging around in that place several times, they found not only another jeweled cufflink, but also several buttons made of cow horns and white teeth. Nothing else.

"A total of thirteen teeth were found. To be honest, the possibility of death is very high." Carlos said solemnly, "Judging from the wear and tear of the teeth, his age is between 20 and 40, and the climate here is humid and warm. Hot, it only takes one or two years for an ordinary corpse to be completely boneless, but if no bones are found,

It shows that even the bones have been weathered, so the death time is at least ten years. "

Wan Shu listened quietly, his face dimmed under the light of the fire, while the group of orcs looked at him from time to time.

"And there is no trace of orcs around, not even a tooth, which means that this female was not accompanied by anyone when the accident happened." Carlos continued, then turned his head to look at Wan Shu, and his eyes fell on He touched his hands: "Are those things from your hometown?"

On Wan Shu's hand are two gemstone cufflinks and four horn buttons. There are no shirts in this world, and naturally there are no so-called cufflinks, so there is no doubt that these are things from the earth, but the style of the cufflinks is very simple, It’s not that no one uses cufflinks anymore in modern times.

Instead, the style will be more modern and simple, rather than inlaid on silver like this.

Therefore, Wan Shu guessed that the owner of those thirteen teeth was a European in more than ten centuries.

"It's something from my hometown." Wan Shu admitted, explaining to them half-hidden: "These things are all from female clothes, so I'm sure he comes from the same place as me."

His words caused a commotion among the orcs, and they couldn't help guessing: "Is there really a tribe in this place?"

"Actually, if you think about it, it's not impossible. If you live in a place with a natural barrier that can separate the beasts, you can survive here."

"It makes sense. Otherwise, a female would theoretically not be able to appear here alone. She probably ran away from the tribe."

Everyone became excited. This was an astonishing discovery, and it was of great significance to the survival of their clan. After all, since ancient times, the world has tacitly agreed that the central forest is not suitable for building a tribe.

Only Krell, who knew everything, remained calm.

He took Wan Shu to a dark place not far away to talk: "Here is the space passage?"

Wan Shu's eyes flickered in the darkness: "I think it's very possible!"

But Krell thought of other aspects: "But this place is hundreds of miles away from the place where I picked you up..."

"Maybe I was really picked up by some kind of giant bird?" Wan Shu guessed, and this was just a set of excuses made up by Krell to fool the people in the tribe, but now Wan Shu Suddenly I felt that maybe it was really like this: "I was in a coma at the time, and no one would know what happened."

"...Okay." Seeing what Wan Shu said, Krell stopped saying some questioning words, and finally began to feel nervous in his heart.

Although he has long been mentally prepared to go to another world with Wan Shu, it is only now that Krell has a sense of reality.

As if seeing something, Wan Shu stared at Krell in the dark, then lowered his eyes.

After confirming that there was a hidden "tribe" in this basin, everyone was full of energy on the second day, but the danger here was more than ten times that of the outskirts of the dense forest, so they no longer spread out, but gathered together cautiously. Go together.

The dense fog in the basin persisted, and Wan Shu could only see three or four meters around him clearly, and he couldn't even see the figures of some team members, so he cautiously followed Krell's side, looking around sharply with his dark eyes.

"Ah!" An orc walking on the side suddenly yelled, Wan Shu turned his head to look, and was shocked to find that the orc was swallowed by a huge colorful flower. The other orcs reacted and wanted to go up before rescuing the orc, but was immediately dismissed by Carlos and Krell.

"Don't move!" The two said almost at the same time, the quick-reacting orc stopped immediately, and the orc who was still rushing forward was swallowed by two blooming flowers.

One of the orcs was so strong that he forcibly tore the oncoming flower, but the flower was torn, but a large stream of light green transparent branches and leaves shot out from the heart of the flower, and all of them fell on the orc. The orc began to melt like a candle.

"Ahhhh!" the orc screamed, and the people beside him were distraught and wanted to rescue him subconsciously, but the orc shouted: "Don't come here! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, his whole body fell to the ground like a puddle of mud. His bones were no longer human-like, and there was still light smoke emitting from them.

Wan Shu covered his lips, his face pale as paper.

The orcs who were not eaten were still like this, and the two who were eaten didn't move at all. They must have died. Suddenly encountered such a change, the atmosphere of the team suddenly changed.

"It's Bone Flower." Carlos said with a gloomy face, and then turned his head to look around. When everyone looked around, they realized that there were such flowers everywhere around them, and they could meet one flower every few meters.

This flower only grows in the depths of the central forest, and Carlos has only seen it in classics. Since there is no pattern, he only recognized it after seeing its power.

As the leader of the team, Krell was very decisive and immediately ordered: "Retreat the same way!"

The team began to retreat in an orderly manner. Wan Shu still had the orc that had melted into a pool of mud printed on his head, so his legs were a little soft. In addition, his footsteps were not as good as the orc, so he was obviously behind. After a few minutes, Krell pulled him into his arms, let Wan Shu's feet off the ground, and walked quickly with him in his arms.

Fortunately, they didn't go deep, and quickly withdrew from the forest. The team stopped, and everyone had a gloomy face and didn't speak.

In the blink of an eye, three team members were sacrificed, which calmed down the heads of everyone who had been going smoothly along the way.

And as they go deeper, the dangers will only increase.

After a long time, Krell let go: "Malphite, cooperate with Carlos to record the Bone Flower just now in detail, the pattern is drawn clearly, we can't let our descendants suffer from this again. After you finish it , let’s take a detour and continue on.”

No one disagrees with what Krell said, sacrifice is inevitable, if they stop because of this, they are not worthy of joining the scouting team.

So after half an hour of trimming, a group of people set off again, this time they were more cautious, advancing in a square matrix, rotating a group of people to the outermost periphery every hour, while those walking on the outermost periphery held wooden sticks, regardless of whether they were in touch or not. Before touching anything, you have to use a stick to confirm safety.

Under this extremely rigorous system, there were no more accidents, but the speed of progress was therefore very slow.

At night, a group of people slept in the open by a stream, and the orcs went to take a bath. Wan Shu also wanted to take a bath, but he was afraid of danger, so he asked Krell to accompany him.

At this time, Krell couldn't care less about restraint and manners, and looked at Wan Shu unblinkingly in the dark, until Wan Shu took off his close-fitting trousers to the bend of his legs, revealing his gleaming white buttocks, and then he lowered himself He lowered his eyes, but soon his eyes fell on him again.

The water in the stream is cool, even though the temperature here has already reached more than ten degrees, Wan Shu still felt cold, so he refreshed himself in the water, and then began to wash quickly.

While he was taking a shower, Krell thought a lot. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "If something happens next time, I plan to retreat."

Wan Shu, who was scrubbing, turned his head and saw the boy sitting on the rock, his whole body was heavy: "The task of investigating the central jungle has long been completed, this place is not suitable for human survival, and the reason why everyone followed us here is because they In addition to having a heart to explore and seek knowledge, it is also because they trust me and are willing to give their lives to me, so I can’t act willfully because of this, firstly, I don’t want to let down their trust, and secondly, they are also the mainstay of the tribe.”

Wan Shu listened quietly, without saying a word, while Krell continued: "Even if we found a space passage to your hometown, you also said that you don't want those people to follow, and not everyone is willing Come on, so when we leave, what will those people do? Do we just leave them in the center of this dangerous central jungle? After losing me as a leader and losing some powerful team members, they want to evacuate here It's only going to be harder than when we got in. I can't just leave them alone."

Wan Shu understood, so he said calmly: "You can lead them away after I return to my hometown."

As for what to do if he had to evacuate in the middle, Wan Shu didn't mention it, he would decide when he thought about it.

Krell frowned: "On this issue, I thought you already understood it very clearly, and I will not leave you!"

Wan Shu was silent, and Krell felt that his tone was a bit harsh, so he sighed, "And to be honest, I don't think the space-time tunnel is here, it's too far from the place where I picked you up, if you really come from Appearing in this area... the female body we found yesterday is your fate."

Wan Shu straightened his lips, why didn't he know?only……

"Actually, I also realized today how lucky I was to be saved by you, but if you think that this will make me flinch, you are wrong." Wan Shu said slowly, his eyes were very bright in the night. Perseverance: "I embarked on this search journey with the awareness that I would die! Compared to spending the rest of my life in the tribe in a daze, thinking day and night painfully, recalling my hometown, I would rather die on the way home! At least I've tried my best! At least I won't regret it! I'm different from the females here, you can accept your fate if you are kidnapped, and I will never accept my fate!"

The firmness of Wan Shu's words made Krell feel a little dazed, the air was getting colder, and the light from the fire was flickering. After a long time, Krell smiled wryly.

"I understand."

This is Wan Shu, the Wan Shu he loves.

Even if Wan Shu couldn't change his mind, what Krell could do was to protect the team as much as possible. He became more and more cautious, leading the team to meander through the dense forest, avoiding all possible dangers, Looking for the ethereal space-time channel.

During this period, the investigation team also made a lot of gains. Not only did they find dozens of creatures that only existed in books, they even discovered new species, and they also learned a lot about the situation in this basin.

However, the danger could not be completely avoided after all. On the sixth day after entering the basin, they encountered nine dragons.

To be precise, it is a male dragon, a female dragon, and seven baby dinosaurs waiting to be fed.

But at this moment, they were stared at as prey.

Wan Shu was very nervous, but while protecting him, Krell ordered in a deep voice: "All face them, and then slowly retreat."

At this time, an orc shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, there are many of us, shouting together can scare them!"

After speaking, he yelled first.

"Stupid!" Krell frowned and retorted angrily, "Their babies have just been born, and they are at the most sensitive time. Yelling will only irritate them! Don't yell!"

However, he said it was too late, and several orcs have already shouted, because this method has been effective in dealing with many large beasts, but as Krell said, the two giant dragons like hills were enraged .

The smaller male dragon let out a roar, and then rushed towards the crowd. Krell immediately ran away with Wan Shu in his arms, while the other orcs also dodged sideways one after another.

However, compared with the male dragon, the size of the orcs is much worse. Even though everyone is trying to take advantage of the loopholes, there are still two inflexible orcs who were killed on the spot. I ate it in my mouth.

"Amos! Jason!" The scattered creatures under his command made Krell's eyes turn red, and the bloodiness of the orc made him let go of Wanshu. He wanted to rush forward to fight the dragon, but was stopped by Carlos.

"Captain! Don't be impulsive!" Carlos said loudly, "This kind of dragon lives in groups. If we fight with them, we will definitely attract other dragons!"

"But..." Claire clenched his fists, saw Wan Shu from the corner of his eyes, and his boiling mind instantly calmed down.

He may not be afraid of death, but he doesn't want Wan Shu to get hurt.

"Damn it!" Claire gritted his teeth, pushed the helpless Wan Shu into Carlos' arms, and then gave an order: "You protect Wan Shu! The others will cover with me! Form a protection Circle retreat!"

After speaking, he rushed to the front of the team and turned into a white bear.

"Krell!" Wan Shu turned his head to look, and saw the three-meter-tall white bear growl, and resolutely stretched out his palms to block the dragon's tail sweep. Such a huge body, against the background of the giant dragon, is as small as glutinous rice balls.

Krell's body was only as big as a dragon's tail. Although he didn't fly out under this blow, he was pushed back more than ten meters, leaving two deep grooves on the ground. Wan Shu He raised his heart, but Carlos didn't let him look any more, and instantly turned into a huge white fox, threw Wan Shu onto his back, and then flew away from here under the cover of other orcs.

Since Wan Shu was in the center of the protective circle, he was taken to a relatively open place by Carlos unscathed, and then stuffed into a dirty but very secret tree hole.

"You hide here, I'll go back and help the captain!"

The white fox uttered words to Wan Shu outside the tree hole, and then ran away in a hurry. Wan Shu wanted to get out to have a look, but thought that he could not fight or kill, and it would only become a burden if he went out, and he would let Krell and his party I was distracted, so I closed my eyes, forcibly held back the impulse, and obediently nested in the dark tree hole.

This is not the first time Wan Shu has encountered such a dangerous situation. Along the way, he was almost bitten off by a crocodile, was almost thrown by a stone thrown by a giant ape, was almost bitten by a poisonous snake, and was almost lost in the strange world. In the mist, but because of Krell, he survived the embarrassment safely, so no matter how afraid he was, there was a sense of peace deep in his heart, but now, he was completely panicked, like a climber , suddenly lost the rope around his waist, as long as he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.

The ridiculous thing is that he had thought that even if Krell decided to bring someone back, he would have to go on alone. It was just a fool's fantasy.

Without Krell, without this team, he couldn't move an inch in this dense forest.

So I don't know whether it is for himself or for them, Wan Shu began to pray, he is a non-religious person, but if God really exists, then Wan Shu hopes that he can hear his wish, so that those who have been with him for a month The orcs can return safely.

He curled up like this, trembling, muttering words, when an orc appeared outside the tree hole, Wan Shu opened his eyes again.

"How's Claire?" He opened his mouth and asked.

The orc looked at him with complicated eyes, Wan Shu's heart trembled, he pushed him away, and quickly climbed out of the tree hole, only to see tired orcs sitting around in twos and threes, each of them was wearing clothes, There was even a person with only the upper body left, apparently bitten by a giant dragon, and was leaning on a person's lap to survive.

Wan Shu wanted to vomit due to the strong smell of blood in the air, and the tragic scene made him think that he was in hell, but he still walked on his heavy and weak legs, trying to find the figure of the boy.

Then he saw Krell, he still kept the form of the white bear, but all the snowy hair on his body was dyed red, he was lying there gasping for breath, there were three deep scratches on his back, even The scarlet innards are all seen.

Wan Shu suddenly stopped in his tracks. Claire's injury wasn't the most terrifying one present, but he didn't dare to approach him for no reason, so he stood there and watched from a distance until the white bear sensed his presence and took Silver The white eyes turned around, and Wan Shu woke up like a dream, and walked over quickly.

Carlos was treating Krell, even though he was seriously injured in his shoulder and was bleeding profusely. When he saw Wan Shu approaching, he just looked up and continued to sew up the wound for Krell.

Wan Shu opened his mouth and spoke like this, but a drop of water slipped into his mouth, and he wiped his face only to realize that he was crying.

Quickly wiping his eyes with his sleeve, Wan Shu took a deep breath before asking Carlos, "Will he die?"

Carlos kept sewing his hands, without raising his head, and asked, "Will you regret it when he dies?"

In fact, they should have returned a long time ago, they entered too deep, if there was no Wan Shu, they would have returned to the outermost edge of the dense forest with laughter and laughter.

Wan Shu choked and was stunned. He only thought that if he didn't try his best to find this time, he would regret it for the rest of his life, but he didn't think about whether he would regret it if he sacrificed Claire for it. .

Regret?

No regrets?

Looking down at the weakly panting white bear, Wan Shu blurred his eyes, and the past with him suddenly passed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

A boy who tried to communicate with him by gesticulating in the cave.

A teenager who wanted to secretly play with his mobile phone but was slapped away by him and was aggrieved.

The boy who walked silently with him on his back in the blizzard.

After successfully bringing him home, the boy who happily repaired the wooden house for him...

"Wanshu! I will work hard to become stronger!"

"Wan Shu, I'm already an adult."

"Wan Shu, would you like to give me a kiss?"

"Wan Shu, I like you..."

Wan Shu!

Wan Shu!

Wan Shu...

Wan Shu lowered his head, tears covered his face.

He will regret it.

Carlos, who successfully made Wanshu cry, raised his head lightly, then smiled and lowered his head: "Don't worry, although he broke seven ribs, his internal organs were exposed, he lost a lot of blood, and his left leg was broken, but he is very strong. , and there are still people to protect, so he won't die."

Wan Shu was comforted in an instant, but the emotional switch had been turned on, and he couldn't stop thinking about it, so Wan Shu sobbed silently, while holding the big white bear's head with both hands, and stretched his legs under his head, letting him Pillow yourself.

The big white bear fell asleep under Wan Shu's touch, and Wan Shu stretched out his hand to check his breath from time to time. Carlos went to treat other orcs, but in the end, two people died, including the orc with only the upper body left.

Including Wan Shu and Krell, there are a total of 52 people in the team, and now there are only 27 people left, which is directly lost in half, and 27 of the [-] people are seriously injured.

So in order to rest, they found a cave and decided to wait for everyone's injuries to heal here before returning.

Wan Shu has been silently accepting the arrangement, and never mentioned the matter of finding his hometown again. He helped Carlos take care of the injured, changed their medicines or cooked for them, but he still hid the two jewel cufflinks in his pocket. In the basket.

It's quite ironic, more than [-] orcs died, and the nearby trees and stones were also severely damaged, but his basket was preserved intact, and was brought along by the group of orcs who returned to collect materials. return.

They also brought back four unhatched dragon eggs, and took the teeth of the two dragons and their extremely hard skins. These are important trophies, which can somewhat comfort the victorious warriors.

"Why bring these back?" Krell, who was already able to walk, smiled wryly and looked at those teeth and dragon skins: "We can't bring so many at all, okay?"

The way back is also very dangerous, and now there are only 27 people left in the team, so it will be less burdensome to bring less things.

"Dragon eggs must be brought back. Maybe a small dinosaur can be hatched, which can be domesticated to protect the tribe. As for the others, just throw them away." Carlos said. The temporary captain, and these things are what he ordered to bring back.

Krell thought about it, and it was indeed a pity to throw it away, so he said, "Then pick out the spoils for five people."

After speaking, they began to pick and choose with Carlos, Wan Shu also joined in the fun and watched, and then they picked and picked, and finally picked Wan Shu's big basket.

This big basket is not too heavy for the orcs, and only one person can carry it. It was a piece of cake for the previous team, but it is undoubtedly an unnecessary burden for the current team.

Carlos couldn't speak directly, so he gave the decision-making power to Krell, and Krell looked at Wan Shu in a complicated manner, hesitating to speak.

Wan Shu was very calm and knew what the two of them were thinking, so he said directly, "Throw it away."

He was so straightforward, but made Claire a little embarrassed, so he was silent for a while, and finally mentioned the things they had kept silent for a month: "Have you given up yet?...Find a way home."

Wan Shu squatted there, grabbed his already long hair with his hand indifferently, and expressed his current thoughts: "Give up now, I am naturally very unwilling, and I will probably regret it when I think about it in the future, but It is also impossible to move forward, if I put you in danger again and lose your life because of it, I will also regret it, since I will regret it no matter what, then there is no choice."

Claire was a bit complicated when he heard it. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The happy thing was that he already had weight in Wan Shu's heart, but the sad thing was that he finally let Wan Shu down.

But Wan Shu was right, it was impossible to move forward, so even if Wan Shu still wanted to go home, he would forcibly take him away.

So that basket was included in the discarded items.

They decided to rest in this cave for another month, making sure that everyone recovered to the best condition, and Krell was young and vigorous. After one and a half months, all the injuries were healed, even the wound on the back with deep internal organs. Now the scabs have faded and become pink scars.

Wan Shu was amazed by the orc's ability to recover.

So in the last days, the two young people, who were so bored that they could only fall in love, decided to climb the mountain above their heads one afternoon and look at the most dangerous and beautiful basin in the world.

Krell took out a strong vine again, and tied Wan Shu in front of him like a baby.

"Be careful." Carlos warned anxiously, "Come back before dark."

"Understood." Krell was only excited, holding Wan Shu's hips with both hands: "There are no giant birds around here."

After speaking, he led Wan Shu to start climbing. Carlos stood below and watched until there was only one dot left of their figures before returning to the cave.

The process of climbing the mountain was very pleasant. Krell pretended to slip and fall to scare Wanshu on purpose, and then when he played this trick for the third time, he was slapped on the head by Wanshu, and he became obedient.

It was June, and the weather was clear. Although the sun had already reached the horizon, it was still bright, so Klein smiled and said to Wan Shu, "I don't know if the sunset here will be bigger than the one in the north."

"Probably not." Wan Shu talked about his theory: "The sun in cold regions is not too hot, and the light is not strong, so it is easy to see clearly, and it looks bigger."

"Then come to gamble?" Krell said enthusiastically, "I bet a lot!"

"Then I'm young."

"What about the bet?"

Wan Shu stared fixedly at the young man in front of him, the wind blew his silver hair, and that handsome face became more masculine.

He looked gently: "If you win, I will be with you."

Since he couldn't go back, this was the only way left, and he kept his original promise to Carlos and used his life to compensate Krell.

Claire was stunned, then ecstatically, his whole body was filled with energy.

"A word is settled!"

The boy said loudly in the wind, and then climbed up to the top of the cliff in one go, looked up at the sun immediately, it was red and big, like a disc.

"Bigger than the northern tribe! I won! I won!" Krell shouted excitedly, jumping in the wind.

Wan Shu was calm, and was about to respond with a smile, but he turned his head casually, and immediately froze in place.

Not getting his response, Claire looked at him suspiciously, saw his eyes wide open, his face flushed, and looking lost, so he followed his gaze and turned his head.

On the other side of the mountain, where they hadn't been before, a huge vortex was suspended above the forest.

As if realizing something, Claire's heart instantly turned cold.
