Chapter 35: 　Hunting

The forest seems to have no end.
The sun stingingly cast a ray of light in the dense jungle, shining on the ground between the tangled roots and the messy rocks. The air was full of moss mixed with the smell of rotten leaves, the more so the deeper it went. One foot stepped on the blue stone, but the moss covered the blue stone slipped. Canon fell to the ground, and the angry black boy almost exploded the nasty bluestone under his feet when he took out the revolver.
A metal javelin came over and pressed lightly on his hand. The cold metal on the tip of the gun caused Canon's body temperature to rise slightly because of his anger. Lafite said quietly, "Don't mess around, unless you want to inform Lucy that we are here."
"Lafite, maybe that deceived us, and it's not the first time she lied." Cannon put away the revolver, and stepped on the bluestone in reluctance, and then gave up.
Lafite shook his head: "I don't think so. Emily is not strong, as you have seen, she brought us down in three or two strokes. She has no ability to protect herself, but walks here alone. Lucy meets, so..."
As he was talking, something suddenly dangled from the corner of Rafi's eyes. He caught this alertly and turned his head to look at a place twenty meters away. A piece of low bush suddenly shook, and Rafi immediately gave Cannon a wink, and the two lowered their bodies and quietly outflanked them.
There was nothing behind the bushes, except for moss-covered rocks and tree roots emerging from the ground, Canon shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing. Lafite squatted down and reached out into the bushes to find something. After a while, he took out a piece of clothing.
The fibers on the edges of the clothes corners are torn, which should be torn off by the hooks. Rafi reported to Cannon about his findings, and the two continued to follow. Ten minutes later, another shallow footprint was found on the stone moss clothes.
In this way, they found that the prey they were tracking seemed anxious, showing more and more flaws. Based on these traces, they found an old tree that had died. The old tree only had a dry trunk, and the trunk had corroded a dark tree hole. The bush in front unnaturally separated slightly to the two sides, as if something had just forcibly passed through the bushes.
The two stood outside the tree hole, and through the light, you could see a faint figure in the tree hole. Rafi winked at Canon, and the two shot at the same time. A javelin flew out of Rafi's hand, and at the same time Canon shot towards the tree hole. Anyway, they couldn't get the antidote, and they didn't expect Lucy to obey their request and simply kill the third-ranked girl, so as not to have trouble.
A cloud of blood suddenly exploded in the tree hole, and the space there was limited. However, Rafi was very cautious. After stopping the attack, he let Canon stay outside while he went into the tree hole. He moved forward and crossed the bushes. The short body drilled into the tree hole, and then fell down with one foot, and the sole of the foot immediately felt tingling.
Looking down, it was originally the entrance of the tree hole. Some sharp bones were stuck in the ground. The broken bones were sharp and sharp, and Rafi stepped on it unintentionally and immediately plunged into the sole. Fortunately, it only scratched the foot, and at most it was slightly injured. But this was clearly a trap, especially in the depths of the tree hole. His javelin nailed a coat to the wall of the tree hole, and the corpse of a young roe deer was lying on the ground, so the meaning of the trap became even stronger.
Rafi wanted to warn Canon outside, and suddenly found that he couldn't shout out, and his limbs began to lose control. When he fell to the ground, he saw a hint of lavender fluorescence at the tips of these bone fragments under his feet.
poison?
Rafi was shocked and finally knew what had happened to him.
Outside the tree cave, when he saw Rafi suddenly fall, Canon knew something was wrong. Before he could find the person who arranged the trap, Allen had already rushed out of a cluster of bushes ten meters away.
As soon as Fang appeared, Allen used the tactical long knife as a javelin and threw it at Canon. The long knife pierced through the air and let out a sharp howl. Canon immediately rolled on the ground, then bounced and fired. Allen's Kuangtu came to him as early as when the long knife was released. Kuangtu was strong like a shield, and Canon's bullet hit the knife. The shock caused Alan's mouth to ache, already split.
However, Canon has no chance to fire a second shot, and Allen has bullied him closer. The black boy yelled and flew up and straddled Alan. A smile flashed in the latter's eyes, and his body suddenly turned to the side, causing Canon's attack to fail.
The figure in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Canon could not recapture his opponent's figure, and suddenly felt that his whole person was floating. The world revolved strangely in his eyes, and finally he saw Alan, and his corpse who had been slaughtered by the slasher!
The entire battle took place in just a few seconds.
Originally, Canon could fire at least two shots, but Allen, who was the first to shoot, used a tactical long knife to interfere. When he avoided the long knife, it also meant that he lost a chance to shoot. If it could be done again, maybe Canon risked being pierced by a long knife in his chest and shot Allen to death, and the ending might be different.
Unfortunately, there has never been a if one in the world.
So Canon died, Allen picked up his revolver and sent a bullet that was too late to fire to Rafi in the tree hole. Lafite is a cautious person, which can be seen from the fact that when facing the weak Emily, he refuses to take the risk of fighting, but likes to throw the means behind his back. But now he died also on his own caution. If he hadn't stepped into the tree hole to confirm Lucy's death, he wouldn't have stepped on the broken bones that made Allen coated with neurotoxin.
Using the toxin in the violent wolf's saber teeth for Lafite's life, Allen felt that this business had been done. If you can, you can open a few more times.
After the hunt was over, it was sundown when Alan returned to Lucy's hiding place. The twilight is vast, and the evening sun coats the ground with a dark yellow light. When Allen had just slid down the backlight from the previous grassy slope, an icy pistol had already been fired on his temple at the moment the light and darkness switched. Then the pistol was put back, Lucy whispered against the grass, "You are back."
Allen shook his head: "Not telling you to hide."
"Hiding is not my style." Lucy shook the pistol: "I don't like hiding, fighting is my option."
"Let your options go to hell." Allen said in a bad mood, he took out the antidote he got from Emily. Throw it to Lucy and say, "Drink it."
I don't know if it was because of the feeling of being in the shadows, Allen always felt that Lucy didn't look as weak as before. Lucy was obedient this time, she took the bottle without saying anything, and poured the contents into her mouth. Allen couldn't help but said, "You don't want to try it, if it's poison, you're done."
"I believe you." Lucy said nonchalantly.
The simple four words hit the softness in Alan's heart, and he expropriated land and stood in place. Instead, Lucy looked at him strangely: "What are you doing? Aren't you also poisoned?"
"It's...nothing!"
"Then why are you blushing? Oh, I see. Little Allen, are you thinking of something bad?"
"I don't think anything bad, don't talk nonsense." Alan opened Lucy's paw on his face and said, "I'm just a little tired. I killed three people in the afternoon..."
Having said that, he paused and said: "Emily is dead."
Lucy nodded: "I know."
"you know?"
"She is a clever child, but she is too clever to force herself to death." Lucy shook the empty bottle in her hand: "She must hide this thing. Since you got it, she must be dead. No matter what means you use."
"So, how did she do it?"
"Mr. Hanni." Allen prompted briefly.
Lucy thought about it, and immediately figured out the key: "Did you use Teacher Aisha?"
"Well, they dropped the potion you used."
"No wonder..." Lucy shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. What's the plan next, my hero?"
"First, let's get something to eat. Second, we will leave here tomorrow and find a place to hide him for two or three days..." Allen has already started to clear the grass nearby, preparing to light a fire: "When you are completely healed, we will Go find trouble with others."
"I like this plan!" Lucy snapped her fingers ~EbookFREE.me~ Just as they were having a campfire and eating dinner, a metal ball flew from above the forest and fell on their heads. A few lasers were fired under the metal ball to quickly build a screen. Several portraits scrolled across the screen. They were teenagers who had already died. The whole process of the death ring was broadcast live, and every night, these metal appeared near the survivors and announced the death list to them.
Of course, after the announcement of the list, the metal ball will leave quickly. They fly very fast, even if a teenager wants to find his competitor through a metal ball, they can't keep up with its moving speed.
After the death list was played three times in a loop, the bottom of the metal ball closed and the light screen disappeared. The sphere rose towards the night sky, and then sprayed out a few thin blue flames, which disappeared into the night in a flash.
In the death list just announced, the death toll has reached 14 people. Of the 22 teenagers, only 8 remained in less than two days. Judging from the previous death ring, this is normal. In the first three days of the start, most of the teenagers will be eliminated, and all the rest are elites. Usually at this time, the death ring will really enter the climax part.
For the remaining teenagers, it is time to truly test life and death.
The next day, Allen eliminated all the information about the camp and left with Lucy. They headed north and spent a day crossing a grassland. Found a valley at noon the next day. The of the valley stretches obliquely into the air at an angle of 45 degrees, and below is the rapids of the river. A big river meanders from the northeast, turns sharply at a thrilling 90-degree angle under the valley slope, flows to the north, and disappears into a vast forest.
Standing on the top of the slope, Allen looked into the distance and said: "Let's stay here for two days temporarily."
