Chapter 889: Mutation
Bang da! Bang da!
One soldier glanced apprehensively at the river not far away, and as the fish migrated, the river was 'boiling' again.
Like a pot of boiling water, countless bubbles surfaced, and the gurgling sound continued one after another, if he didn't know what was going on, he might really think that this section of the river was boiling.
However, a few years ago, this river was not like this!
It's just that since a few years ago, I don't know what crazy the fish in this river is, and they began to multiply in large numbers, at that time, every family in the surrounding area had fish to eat, but after a few fish fishers were dragged down the river and bitten to death, the surrounding fish fishers became extinct, unless they were really hungry, no one would come here to fish again.
"Will, what are you looking at?" another soldier standing beside the soldier yawned boredly as he leaned against the crooked railing.
Will swallowed, "Paul, I feel like those fish are a little more active......"
Paul glanced at the river, put one hand on his cheek, and said lazily: "Yes? Why don't I see it? I said it, don't be so suspicious, the master butler asked us to come here, do you really think it's for us to see something? Don't be kidding, what insight do we people have? What can we see? Even if you really want people to come and see it, it has to be a scholar. β
With that, he yawned again, turned around, and slowly slid off the railing.
Paul sat on the grass against the railing, folded his hands, and closed his eyes, "I'll sleep for a while, and then call me for anything, and then I'll replace you when I wake up." β
In this season of spring and summer communication, the morning sun is bright and warm, and it is a good time to sleep in.
Although the fish in the river were a little noisy, they got up early in the morning and got used to it.
Seeing Paul's lazy look, Will's lips moved, but after a long time, he still couldn't say a word.
Sulking, Will turned his head and looked depressedly at the boiling river, where the clouds were light and the wind was light, and there was nothing to lift his spirits.
After staring at the river for a long time, his gaze suddenly skimmed over the river and looked at the river bank on the other side, it was said that the forest contained countless terrifying monsters, more terrifying than tigers and larger than bears, but he had never seen them with his own eyes.
Growing up, he had only heard a few passing adventurers boast about their adventures β though that was most likely made up β and they said that the most terrifying thing about those monsters was not their size, but their ability to wield some 'supernatural powers', just like a mage.
As a child, he would have rejoiced at hearing these stories, but now he scoffs.
He had never seen any of the so-called 'monsters', not even veterans who had been soldiers for more than ten years, and although they all said that such things existed, Will did not believe them.
Will looked far away to see the things in the forest on the other side, but unfortunately his eyesight was not good enough to see clearly, and he could only see that there were indeed things moving in the forest on the other side, but he could not distinguish their true appearance.
I guess it's a bobcat or a deer or something......
In this moment, Will remembered those horrible rumors, but he shook his head and threw those thoughts out of his mind.
He's not a kid anymore, that kind of thing is unrealistic!
After muttering a few words in his heart, Will turned his gaze back to the river.
These low-level soldiers can't see the lord lord, so this time it was the lord steward who gave them the task, and Will didn't understand why the lord steward asked them to send someone to keep an eye on this river, obviously there was nothing here.
However, he also knew that the lord who was as fat as a pig would not let them come over just to be lazy, although this was an order from the lord steward, but the lord must also know.
Will didn't think that the greedy lord would make them lazy, you know, now in their territory, only someone in the family can become a soldier under the lord to reduce taxes, otherwise the taxes will be unbearably high.
It was under these circumstances that Will was sent into the army, so he never thought that his lord would be so kind.
The boiling river is so 'calm' because nothing has happened here, just like for more than two months before, there is no movement, but the fish in the river are more annoying.
Will became more and more sleepy the more he looked, and yawned a few times, but Paul was now asleep, and he did not dare to wake up.
It's also too boring......
Half-closed, his tired gaze resting on the surface of the river with a sleepy spirit, Will felt that he was about to lose his bearing, so he turned his perspective slightly.
But just because he turned his perspective, he suddenly became energetic-
His gaze froze on the shore for a few seconds, and his slowing brain finally finished processing what he saw, and Will shuddered, and suddenly stood up straight, looking towards the riverbank.
So, what is that!?
He widened his eyes as wide as he could, and jumped over the railing with both hands, but he stopped again at the thought of the advice of the veterans.
After a moment's thought, Will lifted his stick against the railing and woke Paul up.
"Paul, Paul, something has happened!" Will didn't dare to make too much noise because of a little panic.
"What?
Paul woke up in a daze, shook his head, twisted his head half a circle, and fixed his eyes on Will on the other side of the railing.
He frowned, and couldn't help but scold: "What are you kid doing? Didn't you say that I would call you when I woke up?"
Will shrunk his neck, but at this time he seemed to think of something, glanced back, turned to Paul and said in a panic, "No, no, no, something happened!"
"What's the matter?" Paul looked over Will's shoulder and at the boiling river, "what's the matter?"
"No, it's not right! I saw it, I really saw it!" Will looked eager, but he couldn't describe what he saw, so he could only blush, "You, you just come with me to take a look!"
Paul took a breath and stared at Will's eager face for a long time before patting his ass and standing up, picking up his worn-out sword leaning against the railing and flipping over it.
"Shore, huh?"
Paul hunched over, drew his weapon, and led Will step by step towards the riverbank.
Will clutched the stick tightly in his hand and nodded, as he felt that he should have been right.
Standing six feet away from the river, Paul looked left and right, but found nothing.
He turned around and scolded, "What about what you said?
Will, however, widened his eyes, took two steps back, pointed to the riverbank and shouted, "Is there a lack there?"
"What's missing? What's missing?" Paul tapped the tip of his sword on the riverbank, "there's nothing here!"
"No, I meanβ" Will blushed and screamed, "The riverbank wasn't here, it was over there!"
"What's 'this way' 'That side', neuropathy......" Paul cursed under his breath, glanced back, and then he froze.
Originally, he should have been as far away from the river as a person lying flat, but now the river was only about half a distance from him.
He couldn't help but take two steps back, then raised his confused eyes to look to the left and right.
Somehow, he saw a 'bend' on the bank of the river......
"Whew!"
Paul was still looking around, confirming the memory in his mind, but suddenly a sharp pain came from his left calf, which made him jump up from the ground, and he hurriedly looked down to see that it was a fish that had bitten his calf!
Bang!
Will stepped forward and struck the fish with a stick, but he couldn't knock the fish off Paul's leg, and he hurriedly knocked two more sticks, and the fish fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Let's go!" Will took Paul's arm, who was still crying out in pain, and led him away from the river bank and to the railing.
As he was about to climb over the railing, he involuntarily looked back again, only to find that the fish that had fallen to the ground had jumped back into the river at this time.
Suddenly, this scene made him feel like falling into an ice cave, and his heart was cold.
