The man stood in front of the boulder for a while, grumbling about how his new boots did not fit.
This position was very dangerous for the two people in the stone trough. If he took two more steps forward, he would be able to see their hiding spot.
But that guy seemed to be thinking about whether or not he should continue searching. He could sense that the two mice were nearby and were not hiding far away. As long as he was willing to put in some effort, he could easily catch his prey. But when he thought about the food that was roasting on the fire, he finally decided to give up on the idea. He hung the Elven sword that he had just picked up on his waist and whistled. "Consider yourselves lucky."
After saying that, he swaggered away.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, the person beside her also stopped trembling. Only then did Lolo have the time to look at the person lying on top of her. It was a woman who was not much older than her. Her body was dirty, and her clothes could barely cover her body. However, she used a headscarf to cover her face, leaving only her eyes and mouth exposed. "You're welcome."
"What's there to be polite about?"
"You're welcome. I just saved your life." The woman sat up and rubbed the area where she had been hit by her elbow. There was a bruise there, and she looked at the girl with an unfriendly gaze.
"Is that guy … very powerful?"
"Powerful? Hehe, no, that guy is not only powerful. He is a demon. Trust me, you don't want to fall into his hands. "
"How do you know that I will fall into his hands?" Lolo was confident in her own strength. The current her was not the same as before. If she could sneak up on the woman, with the power of a tier 3 spell, she felt that she had a high chance of defeating the woman.
The woman seemed to know what she was thinking, and a hint of ridicule appeared in her eyes, "You're really a rookie. You want to sneak attack that monster? Forget it, I've seen guys who are ten times stronger than you, and I even contacted a group of very strong friends to ambush that monster on the road. In the end, the only person who returned had lost his hands and feet, and he died after wailing on the ground for half a month. He even specially found someone to change the guy's medicine and feed him. That guy is definitely not human." She paused and looked at Lolo from head to toe. "Heh, you are not bad. It is a pity that you fell into his hands. I can guarantee that you will regret being born with such a beautiful face."
"Oh, can you tell me more about him?"
When the two of them hugged each other and hid in the stone trough, Lolo could sense the strong fear in the woman's heart. The fear was not faked. The girl thought for a moment, took out a loaf of bread from her bag and handed it to the woman.
She knew nothing about Grimm. Whether it was to find Rob and Hector, or to look for Mother Teresa, she needed help from the people here. At the very least, she needed to understand her current situation as much as possible.
As soon as the woman saw the bread, her eyes immediately lit up. She swallowed her saliva and snatched the bread from Luoluo's hand before Luoluo could let go. She didn't even have time to tear off the paper wrapping the bread and wolfed it down. In less than half a minute, she had swallowed the whole loaf of white bread.
She choked several times and rolled her eyes, but even so, she did not stop eating.
After finishing the bread, the woman leaned on the stone wall and greedily sucked on the moss to replenish the water in her body. This process lasted for about two minutes. After that, she let out a satisfied burp and looked at Lolo with a much kinder gaze. "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
After that, she turned around and walked down the path without waiting for the girl's consent. Lolo did not hesitate and quickly chased after the woman with her luggage.
The two of them walked for about half an hour and came to a huge stone wall with cracks of all sizes. The woman climbed into one of the cracks like a gecko and reached out her hand. "You can throw your backpack up first."
Lolo shook her head and climbed up the stone wall. Finally, she reached the crack.
"Come in. This is where I live. It's not dangerous." The woman kicked away the rat bones and beetle shells on the ground and cleared a place for them to sit down.
It was a small cave that was sealed on three sides. The layout inside was very simple. There was only a tattered canvas as a quilt and a slightly larger round stone as a table. Other than that, there was no furniture like a stool, a bed, or a sofa that was very common outside.
She thought that it would be very dark inside, but in fact, it was brighter than outside because of the shiny crystals in the stone wall.
"This is … a dragon crystal?" Lolo recognized the crystal that emitted a faint blue luster and was taken aback.
"Hehe, isn't it ironic? The things that are priceless in the outside world are the most worthless here." The woman sighed. "When I first saw so many dragon crystals, I was even more surprised than you. But after so many years, no one has ever thought of stealing them."
"Unless we can return to the outside world, these dragon crystals are useless. And you should also know that the stone here is very special. It is almost impossible to mine it. It took me more than half a month to knock off one from the top, and it can only be used for lighting outside. Sigh, it can't even trade for half a bag of rat meat."
The woman turned around, squatted down and rummaged in the corner for a while. Finally, she pulled out a half-broken stone bowl from the pile of broken bones. There were some suspicious-looking plant roots in it. "Do you want some? When this thing is lit, it smells like tobacco. Although it can't satisfy your hunger, it's good to have fun occasionally. I haven't brought anyone home yet, so these are the only things here to welcome people."
Lolo shook her head and said politely, "No, thank you."
The woman shrugged. "Then I won't stand on ceremony." She took out a stick, put it in her mouth, found a flint, and lit it. After taking a deep breath, she said, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for the bread yet. I've been hungry for five days before I met you. Since I'm in a good mood now, you can ask me anything you want. As long as it's something I know, I will definitely tell you truthfully."
There was no doubt that what Lolo wanted to know most now was the whereabouts of Rob and the little golem, but she didn't ask. After spending a long time with someone, Lolo began to get used to thinking in his way.
What would that guy do if he were here? He definitely wouldn't rashly throw out the most important question right from the start.
Because even if the other party answered this question, you wouldn't be able to judge whether it was true or not, and the other party would see the urgency in your heart.
