dragon and magician

"I don't know if the monsters I met during the day are dead or not. What if I encounter them again, I'm not always so lucky to be rescued by everyone." Eve got up in a daze, and the bandage on his lower abdomen made his movements change. It was uncoordinated, and the way he walked with his feet spread apart was funny, but Qin Lin couldn't laugh at all.Judging from the location of the injury, Eve has been ruined. The only luck is that he was in a coma during the process of being invaded by the monster. He didn't know how miserable he had encountered, so he didn't cause an unbearable psychological burden.

"And if you run around so late, mom will be angry." He was not in good spirits and didn't want to move. Qin Lin was so anxious that he wanted to curse.

He looked at his younger brother, and before he could explain in detail, he could only ask, "Believe me or not."

Seeing Eve nodding without hesitation, and looking at him unreservedly with a pair of big black and white eyes, Qin Lin was relieved, and then said: "Then don't ask anything, follow me, I will never hurt you."

He jumped out of bed, urging Eve to follow.As soon as the two little guys came to the door, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door. It seemed that the clansmen came back earlier than expected.

"Go back and pretend to be asleep now, and don't get up no matter who comes." This is too bad, if they are seen to be fleeing, they will be executed immediately.In desperation, Qin Lin pushed the handicapped Eve back on the bed with his head, and solemnly instructed: "Remember, even if Mom tells you to pretend that you didn't hear."

Although she couldn't figure out the situation, seeing her brother's serious expression, Eve didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately retreated to lie down on the corpse.Qin Lin climbed onto the bed and hugged his younger brother tightly with his four limbs. The two furry little guys were next to each other, with their tails entangled, and no one could separate them.Although he didn't know if his strength could save Eve's life, he knew that he would never give up and would not let go of his brother's hand!

After a while, there was the sound of opening the door, and the parents' deliberately suppressed dialogue was poured into their ears verbatim.

Qin Lin clearly felt that Eve was trembling. The poor child was desperately trying to control his emotions, but he still couldn't restrain himself from making a strange sound from his throat.It was unbelievable, incomprehensible, choked with despair at the end, because he heard his parents arguing about when to kill him...

The father thought that the elder's order should be carried out as soon as possible to prevent nights and dreams, but the mother insisted on waiting until dawn to let the child eat his last meal.Of course the quarrel was fruitless, but the man gave in and left the room silently, leaving time for the mother of the children.Immediately afterwards, a soft hand tried to move Qin Lin's paw away and hugged Eve.

"Mom?" Pretending to be woken up, Qin Lin waved his paws to drive away the obstructing hand, then turned over to protect his younger brother.Although he pretended not to know anything, he kept looking at his mother with red eyes vigilantly.A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, and all mothers in the world are the same. Qin Lin believes that his tears are from the heart.

Knowing that he couldn't bear it, he decided to take a risky gamble, maybe things could turn around.

"Mom, actually..." Just as I was about to plead for mercy, my mouth was covered.

The mother sternly said: "I can't say too much, but the attack during the day is very serious. Because there are problems that cannot be solved, the elders unanimously decided to execute Eve. Although I know their decision is right, but as a A mother, I can't just watch innocent children die. Lin, among the many brothers, only you love Eve the most and take good care of him, so now you are the only one who can save him. Adult naaru cannot leave the forest, but Those of you who have not yet transformed can do it, as long as you escape outside the woods, you will be safe. Take him away, as far away as possible, please."

He looked into Qin Lin's eyes, and then said: "Do you understand what I'm talking about? It's too late to explain the specifics, but you must know that Eve is in danger now and has to leave immediately. My child, can you guarantee Take him out of here and protect him forever."

"Mom!" Qin Lin stood up, rubbed his head against his face, and solemnly promised: "Don't be sad, I will take good care of Eve, for sure."

"Why did you kill me? I didn't do anything wrong." At this point, Eve couldn't pretend to be asleep as if nothing had happened. He got up and threw himself into his mother's arms: "Mom, I can't leave you."

"Good boy, you're not wrong, what's wrong is the corrupt system." He repeatedly kissed Eve's little face, and the mother and son cried together.

"Now is not the time to cry. If you don't leave, it will be too late." Qin Lin was much calmer than the sentimental Yaxiong.He separated the reluctant two and jumped out of the bed first, his eyes were firm: "Eve, wipe away your tears, we have to leave before the people in the tribe notice, otherwise we won't be able to escape. Letting you go for a risk Mother, for your own life, we must escape."

"But..." To leave the family who had been protecting him all the time, and go to an unknown world, no one would hesitate.

"The outside world won't be scarier than tentacle monsters. Everything will be fine, I promise." Apart from the crappy comfort, Qin Lin didn't know how to make his brother happy.Facing the strange world, he was as overwhelmed as the cowardly Eve, but he still cheered up and said, "Let's go, as long as we're alive, it's not too bad. There are too many things we can do."

He opened his eyes wide and stared at his elder brother for a long time, hesitating: "But I can't let Brother Lin give up everything and take me away, it's too selfish."

"When is it, you still think about this, I am willing to do anything for you." Qin Lin slapped his paw on his younger brother's head, as if he wanted to use this method to get rid of his wild thoughts, and even his mother persuaded him: " It is difficult for you to live alone. There is no way. I believe that Lin will live well wherever he is. Mother will be relieved when you are handed over to him. From now on, only you two brothers will depend on each other. You You must listen to your brother."

Eve bit her lower lip, looked at her mother, then at Qin Lin, finally nodded and took the first step.

"Remember to walk along the waterway, and get out of the woods before dawn. I will try my best to delay the time." The mother walked all the way to the door, and kissed Eve's little head repeatedly, and hugged Qin Lin again: "It's becoming a dream outside." Even the elders don’t know what kind, there may be many dangers, but mother will pray for you. You have to remember that naaru beasts are aliens in the eyes of foreigners. If your special identity is discovered, you may be cruel Treat, so don’t contact others rashly before transforming into form, let alone trust humans. Take care of yourself and try to hide in a safe place, understand?”

Qin Lin understood these words without having to repeat them. He nodded, took one last look at his mother, and dragged Eve into the woods by the neck.

The surroundings soon fell into darkness, and the woods at night were so quiet that only the sound of their heartbeats was heard, and the lights of the village were isolated behind by the dense woods.Being forced to leave home is always a kind of sadness that cannot be relieved.Eve has been sobbing softly, he bit his brother's tail, and followed behind step by step, choking indistinctly.

"Don't cry, we are still far away from the edge of the woods. At your speed, we will have to walk for at least two days. If you are caught, not only will you die, but your mother will also be implicated, and you may even be punished by the patriarch. "Qilin really wanted to slow down and make it easier for his brother with inconvenient legs, but he couldn't.Hanging around here will only hurt their mother who secretly let them go.

He strode forward, worried.

In the face of powerful clansmen, whether it is speed or strength, the underage cubs have no chance of winning.

He must prepare for the worst, and if he is caught up, how to escape from the hunt and reach the magic hood at the border of the forest safely.He kept imagining and overturning the original plan, until his head was about to explode, but he still couldn't find a good solution.He was afraid of being caught up, and he was powerless to protect Eve, which would only make him suffer more.So the only way is to escape quickly, as for the others, I can't think about it.

"Are you going to kill me because you met the tentacle monster?" Eve let go of Qin Lin's tail when she reached the river, and cried loudly: "But, it's not my fault. Let's go home, shall we?" Well, if I admit my mistake, maybe the elder will forgive me."

Qin Lin shook his head, looked at his brother who was lucky, and threatened cruelly: "If you don't leave quickly, you will really die."

"But it's cold, and my feet hurt." In order to eliminate the smell, they had to walk along the stream for a while, but the source of the stream was an undercurrent emerging from the depths of the earth.It's better to have sunlight during the day, but at night it's really cold, extremely cold.Eve tentatively put her front paws in, and immediately retracted, looking at her brother aggrievedly.

No matter what time it is, it is still dawdling, and Qin Lin is very annoyed by Eve, who has no sense of crisis.He bit his neck and threw the little guy into the water: "It's better to be cold than dead."

Seeing the majestic expression of her elder brother who always loved her, Eve didn't dare to hesitate, and trotted after him.He tried his best to overcome the inconvenience caused by his disabled hind legs, and ran forward with a limp. Qin Lin heard the sound of water behind him, and knew that he must have had a hard time walking, but he didn't dare to turn his head, fearing that his heart would soften.Mercy now is cruel, it will cost him his life, and he must stand firm.

They ran along the stream for a long time like this, fearful and afraid to stop, until at the confluence, where the stream flowed into the big river, they climbed ashore.

But danger followed, a strong sense of oppression came from the forest, someone was approaching!

The breath of an adult naaru floated in the air, and Qin Lin couldn't think about it because of the oppressive feeling. He roared and rushed towards the shadow, hoping that he could delay for some time and let Eve escape for his life.

He bumped headlong into the figure in the darkness and shouted, "Run!"
