Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

They would take John out to bask in the sun every day, and they would distribute edible wild vegetables under the thick snow quilt every now and then, and some small animals would also run out of their caves for various reasons. Then they can have extra meals.

Zhou Lingke even had the idea of ​​that river, after all, he had watched too many people fishing in winter on TV, and it seemed that as long as the ice was broken, the fish would jump up from under the ice.Of course, neither he nor Xia En can do the high-tech job of breaking the ice, so we leave it to the extremely talented skeleton orangutan.

The imagination is beautiful, but the development of things is tragic, starting from the orangutan grabbing a stone the size of a human head and hitting the ice, and ending with the orangutan holding a stone the size of a small mountain.There were only a few white marks left on the ice, not to mention fish, the ice was not even broken.

They had no choice but to give up—Is that ice?The steel plate was broken like this!

When they still had a lot of food, but only the last bit of salt was left, when they went out for a walk with Xia En again, Zhou Lingke suddenly found that it had not snowed for a while, and the accumulated snow seemed to have melted in half.

When the snow completely melted, nothing happened that Zhou Lingke and Xia En had been worried about—James came back.When he appeared, the river hadn't even fully thawed, and there were always ice floes floating down the river.Zhou Lingke didn't expect that John's parents would show up at this time. He took the child to the river just because the weather was getting better and better recently, and they had pulled out all the fresh wild vegetables near the cave, so he and Xia En subconsciously walked to the river.

Just standing there for less than 2 minutes, suddenly a huge splash exploded on the river, James bounced out of the water, maintaining the appearance of a river clam, "Boom!" and hit the sand on the river bank with a loud sound.

Zhou Lingke and Xia En were about to go over to say hello, when they heard James yelling: "Run!" At the same time, it was the place where James jumped out just now, the drinking water began to bubbling, and at the same time, a large swath of sludge could be seen Stir up.

Obviously, there will be no good things in this battle. Even if James doesn't shout, Zhou Lingke and Xia En will run away. Now that they have received his clear warning, they just run harder.A little far away, in case the skeleton orangutan who trampled on the wild vegetables also ran towards them after receiving Zhou Lingke's order.

Something came out from behind them, but from the water vapor slapping their backs with a fishy wind and the low growl that tore through the air, it must be huge.At this time, the only person who was in a relaxed mood was John. In Zhou Lingke's arms, he even had the mood to pull off the buttons on Zhou Lingke's clothes—but John was very smart and knew that buttons could not be eaten, but could only be licked. .

Zhou Lingke and Xia En felt a cold head at the same time. Something flew over their heads and hit the skeleton orangutan straight, smashing it to pieces instantly.

"Ah!" The sudden stabbing pain in the back of his head made Zhou Lingke unsteady and knelt on the ground. Xia En immediately turned around to pull him, and at the same time, he also saw clearly what it was.

- Giraffe?Loch Ness Monster?In short, it is such a thing.Xia En couldn't see the opponent's eyes. Even though the opponent's eyes must be big according to the proportion, but its high neck was too long, and there was water mist all over the sky, so Xia En couldn't see clearly, but At that time, he clearly felt a cold feeling as if being stared at by a natural enemy.

But it was just staring, and the thing barked again, causing a rumbling echo.Then it turned around, and its huge body went upstream at an unimaginably brisk speed.

"!" Almost at the moment it turned around, Xia En's knees softened and he also knelt on the ground. Even so, he was still trembling uncontrollably.

As soon as Zhou Lingke was freed from the blackness in front of his eyes, he saw Xia En also fell down, so frightened that he stretched out his hand to subdue Xia En, while subconsciously turned his head and looked back to see what might have hurt Xia En Well, but he only saw the huge back of the thing leaving—fortunately, it had already left.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Lingke couldn't help swallowing, because after only three words, he felt sick and made him vomit.

"What about you?"

"Backlash." Zhou Lingke shook his head, another wave of nausea came up, "It will be uncomfortable the first time." He tried to be brief, but he still had to sit on the wet grass to relax for a while.

Although Old John did tell him, he really didn't expect to be so uncomfortable.Like a concussion, or worse, one of those side effects he felt after being drugged and woke up years ago.

Xia En saw that Zhou Lingke was really fine, and the two arms holding John were also very strong. No matter how much John tossed, he still hugged him tightly, so he stood up and walked towards the broken orangutan skeleton.If you read it correctly, it was James who threw it and smashed the orangutan skeleton.

Sure enough, the huge mussel was buried in the scattered skeletons, but he could be regarded as scarred now.As he approached, the clamshell slowly opened, but Xia En didn't need to worry anymore.

"Thank you..." The process of James transforming into a human is obviously much more difficult than the process Zhou Lingke told Xia En, "Sorry, I hope this appearance won't scare you." After the obvious efforts, only the upper body has changed. However, the lower body is still a mollusc in a clam shell, and the waist connecting the human and the mollusk is still changing—in fact, instead of doing this, he might as well maintain the image of a river clam.

"Are... are you okay? And your partner?" One winter, even for a period of time every day, Zhou Lingke and Xia En insisted on talking in the language of this world. Although his language is still a bit weird, it is just weird.

"Thank you." James said again, for Sean's concern, "Actually, he hasn't come back yet, I was just accidentally treated as food by that big guy and angered him when I ran away, but fortunately it was It angered it, so I can still stand here." James nodded his head with his hand, "It's big, but it's not smart enough."

Xia En nodded. He actually wanted to ask about the transformation, but the state of the river clam didn't seem to be the time for him to ask such things: "Do you want to see John?"

"While I know saying too much will only make people feel irritated, I still have to say, thank you very much."

When Xia En came back carrying the mussel, the nausea had gone away from Zhou Lingke. He just felt that his head was... heavy, so heavy that it caused a certain burden on the cervical spine.

"Wow... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" It is said on earth that babies don't have a long memory, but John here is obviously not among them. The baby yelled loudly.

"Hey, baby." After the clam was put down, James couldn't wait to come out of it and hugged James in his arms. He looked at the baby's eyes full of love, so he said the next thing to Zhou Lingke and Xia En , it became more and more bitter and difficult, "He is a good boy, you..."

"He is a good boy, so we can't take him away. In other words, we don't even know our own future, and we can't afford another life. Just because of your current situation, we can take care of him for a while." Zhou Lingke shook his head without hesitation, there is no need to discuss this matter.

James sighed, and it was impossible to tell from his expression whether he was disappointed or relieved instead.After playing with John for a while, the little guy who was excited one second suddenly fell asleep the next second, fully showing the "repetitive and ruthless" nature of a baby.

At that time, Zhou Lingke and Xia En were picking up bones for the skeleton orangutan, whose bones were scattered by the shells of the river mussels.

Although I know that this big guy is just a puppet, like a machine that moves according to the program, but I have been with it for a whole winter, watching it bask in the sun outside the cave every day, looking for lice, beating my ribs and making no sound. Shouting... I can't say how deep the relationship with the orangutan is, but both Zhou Lingke and Xia En think that this companion who has accompanied them for a short period of time should be given a certain amount of respect, even if it's just a formality, not for anything else, just for I feel at ease.

In the end, what is released on the bones is still corrosion, ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.However, the mood has changed. It is no longer the mood of getting rid of troubles, but thinking that they can rest in peace, and they will never be disturbed again.

"I'll go back to the cave first, you find a safe place to put James to recuperate first?"

"You summon a companion first." Xia En agreed but disagreed, especially after seeing the monster, who didn't know if it was a dragon.

"Can't I summon you after you leave?"

"Why are you so shy about this?"

"Okay, okay, I'll call now." Zhou Lingke was helpless, not shy, he was just... a little embarrassed, after all, every time he called, he was laughed at by Xia En, and he was deeply shocked every time. Look at his self-esteem!

But this time it went unexpectedly smoothly. After casting a spell, a big guy that looked like a saber-toothed tiger crawled out from the bones, but seemed to be as tall as an elephant!

The two huge teeth on the side of its mouth are probably not much shorter than ivory. Even after sleeping in the ground for many years, they are still bright and white.Zhou Lingke couldn't help but raise his hand to touch it. The saber-toothed tiger was like a docile big cat. When Zhou Lingke reached out his hand, it immediately lay down on the spot, then turned over and exposed its belly to him.
