Chapter 5 Doubts about entering the sea
Ghost Cry's body was wet, and I didn't know if it was sweat or dew.
He smiled, his eyes becoming more determined.
Is it the dawn of light from the east? that's my power, or rather, supernatural powers!
He stood up, patted the dust, and loosened the reins of the horse. The horse became more tame, bowed its head, and arched the shoulders of the weeping ghost.
The devil cried and patted the horse's head, patted the dew and dead leaves off its mane, put the saddle luggage on its back, and led the horse out of the woods.
Yesterday, the troops stationed at the front had left, leaving a large number of traces of existence on the unobstructed flat ground.
A dark shadow flashed, and the ghost cried unimpressedly. Where the army exists, there are always monsters with them.
They are like scavenging crows, following the beast of prey, trying to eat some leftovers.
He led the horse and left the place slowly, and when he reached a high slope, he raised his hand, and tried to open his eyes, which were almost narrowed into a slit, and looked into the distance.
Then, he saw a small battlefield.
led the horse, walked over slowly, and arrived at the scene.
A few unknown diminutive youkai were surrounding a dead horse, and when they saw the ghost crying, they howled and burrowed into the forest.
The horses tugged at the reins and paced restlessly, trying to leave.
Oni Cry soothed it, and looked around, the horseshoe prints inside were messy and clear.
Several bodies lay on the side of the road, and some arrows stuck in the ground or in the trees on the side of the road.
It looks like there was once a chase here.
Because it was too hasty, no one cleaned the battlefield.
A few piles of fresh white bones lay quietly, some horses and some people.
In the chase, they died.
Then the monsters came, stripped off their armor, clothing, weapons, and ate their flesh.
If the ghost cry comes a little later, I'm afraid they won't even have bones left, and they will be taken away by some youkai who like to collect bones.
Suddenly, the ghost weeps and smells the breath of the living.
He led the horse, burrowed into the woods by the roadside, stepped on the dead leaves, searched for breath, and touched it.
Gradually, he found some traces.
Neat severed branches, imperceptible footprints, scraped fibers of clothing, and a few traces of blood.
As you can imagine, he was wounded, fell off his horse, or simply died.
In short, he lost his horse, and at the critical moment, he fled into the woods by the roadside, drew his knife, split the branches and leaves in front of him, and fled frantically all the way.
In the vast woods, under an ancient tree, the ghost cried and saw the figure of the living man.
He sat slumped under the ancient tree, his back against the protruding roots, a little delirious, one hand covering his stomach, the other hand waving his knife wildly, avoiding the slowly approaching youkai.
There are seven of these monsters, they should be mountain spirits and the like, similar in appearance to a child of twelve or thirteen years old, and have the characteristics of wild beasts, with long tails, wearing clothes stolen from nowhere, and the leader one is also holding a severed spear, which is ugly from the perspective of human aesthetics.
They are not powerful, and they are even afraid of wild beasts, but their ability to bewitch people and escape for their lives is extraordinary.
At this moment, the leader was triumphantly wielding a spear, directing other little monsters to constantly harass that person, accelerating his physical exertion and making him bleed.
Suddenly, his rabbit-like ears moved and he heard a sound.
When I turned around, I saw a ghost crying leading the horse towards me.
With a scream, he plunged headlong into the ground, half of his body buried in it.
The dead leaves exploded, and the earth rolled, and soon his feet, which were shaking outside, also burrowed into the ground, and the tumbling dirt also covered the hole he had drilled.
This kind of ability to escape, the ghost is ashamed of crying.
When the other six little monsters heard the sound, they turned their heads to look, and immediately fled away screaming and urinating.
They don't have the skills of a leader, but they are not slow, and some of them climb the trees like monkeys, shuttle through the trees, and disappear quickly.
Some of them got on all fours, crawling as fast as mice, and soon they didn't know where they had gone.
Ghost Cry led the horse and walked up, looking at the injured man condescendingly.
Looking at his armor, his weapons, and his appearance, Devil Cry has roughly judged his identity.
A native of the Central Plains, a soldier under the command of the Great Song Kingdom, he should be subordinate to the forbidden army.
"Help me. He said weakly, his eyes full of longing to live.
Oni Cry half-knelt down to check on his injuries.
He was hit by two arrows, one in the arm and one in the back. But these two arrows were not fatal, and the fatal wound was in the abdomen. His belly was cut, according to the missing large piece of armor, and the scratches on his belly.
Oni Cry looked at the injury and imagined the scene at that time.
He was shot by two arrows and dismounted.
In the rear, the enemy caught up and stabbed out with a single shot.
He was still calm, and turned to defend himself against the enemy.
picked up the spear that stabbed him with a knife, but he couldn't pick it completely because he didn't have enough strength to ride it on foot.
As a result, the abdomen that was supposed to run through a shot only cut his belly.
He didn't die at the time, he rolled to the side of the road, got up and got into the woods, opened the way with a knife, and fled all the way here.
The injury was very bad, his intestines were broken, and the wounds contaminated with feces and water inside, ninety percent, would not survive.
"Brother, you are seriously injured, I can't save you. ”
"Help me, save me......" His eyes widened as he struggled, clutching the corner of Devil's crying clothes.
"You tell me, where the army is, I'll take you there, there are military doctors there. ”
Hearing the ghost cry say this, he hurriedly grabbed the corner of the ghost cry's clothes and shouted vigorously: "Into the sea, into the sea......"
"Okay, I got it. The ghost cried softly and said, "Sleep, sleep first, and wake up." ”
He smiled happily, and as soon as his body relaxed, he could no longer support it, closed his eyes, his hands slipped down, and his rapidly heaving chest finally calmed down.
The ghost cried and reached out to his hand, and his breath was gone. Shaking his head, he stood up, and the ghost cried and pondered: into the sea, into the sea, what does it mean? Is it to enter the sea, to go from the sea, or is it a place name?
Devil May Cry estimates that there is a greater chance of being a place name.
Because, even if the Great Song Dynasty had a sea master, it was too dangerous to go from the sea.
On the sea, there are more monsters, not to mention behemoths like Jiaolong Kunpeng, just those shrimp demons and crab demons can make people annoyed, and if they don't pay attention, they can chisel through the bottom of the boat.
At sea, it is not a man's world.
According to Ghost Cry, with the virtue of the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, it is really unlikely that he will go from the sea.
So, it should be a place name, but I don't know where the ghost cries when it enters the sea.
It seems that we have to find a way to find someone to ask for directions.
