This time, the uruk-hai directly tied 2 to 3 black magic vines around each of them, before carrying them back. It seemed like the uruk-hai was willing to tire himself out rather than give them any chance to delay their journey.
The uruk-hai leader's expression turned solemn as he strode forward. Obviously, there was a huge threat hidden within this deep valley. This threat was so great that even the uruk-hai, who had been here for a long time, and had an incomparably powerful wizard like Saruman as their leader, could not do anything about it. They were extremely fearful, panicking to the point of dread.
Previously, the duo had sprinted for several kilometres into the pine forest. Although the two uruk-hais were extremely sturdy, their running speed would inevitably decrease. When they reached the edge of the pine forest, the two uruk-hais were already panting like cows, their sweat pouring down like rain. The stench from their bodies made the duo nauseous.
Yet at this moment, the uruk-hai leader suddenly screamed. His screams were filled with terror and terror! This uruk-hai leader had always given others the impression of being swift and fierce, as though life and death were not worth mentioning in front of him. Who knew what he saw, that he actually screamed out so miserably!
At the same time, the duo's head started to feel dizzy, sinking into a half-awake state, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
In his hazy state, Sheyan seemed to have returned to the Siqiao town of the past. Yet, he couldn't find a single person. Everywhere was filled with Huashan Fei's vicious thugs. He tried his best to carve out a bloody path, searching for familiar faces. Yet, his strength had vanished without a trace.
In the process of searching, Sheyan felt his heart becoming increasingly stuffy, increasingly unbearable. He wanted to drink water, and finally found a jar to pour himself a cup of water. But to his shock, the cup was actually filled with a raging fire! Suddenly, a venomous snake coiled around his neck, about to bite down on his throat!
Sheyan frantically tried to tear the venomous snake apart, but for some unknown reason, he couldn't raise his hands! Gurgling sounds came from his throat, but the venomous snake seemed to be toying with him, spitting out its red tongue but not biting down! But just when Sheyan thought the viper wouldn't bite, the crimson viper opened its jaws and bit down!!!
Under this shock, Sheyan immediately screamed and opened his eyes.
Then, he immediately saw the pitch-black sky and specks of starlight.
At this moment, the sky was filled with stars.
Moonless.
Where was the blood and fire? Where was the tattered and withered Four Bridges Town?
It turned out that everything that had happened before was either a dream or an intense illusion. But he didn't know why it was so realistic!
Sheyan struggled with all his might, realizing he was still tied up tightly. But his heart was immediately filled with ecstasy – I'm not blind!
Although his vision was still a little blurry, it was undoubtedly a far cry from his previous inability to see anything. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his entire body was frozen stiff, and his lips were full of vomit.
Sheyan turned his head, his body couldn't help but twitch. If he wasn't tied up tightly, his entire body would have sprung up.
The Uruk-hai leader's twisted and stiff face was just inches away. This ferocious beast's lips curled into a strange smile, as he lay paralyzed on the snowy ground. His hands were tightly clutching his throat, his five thick fingers digging deep into his flesh. The tumor in his throat had already ruptured, and his face was green and purple. It looked like he had strangled himself to death! Although he was dead, his massive body still gave off an endless pressure.
At this moment, Sheyan's heart was filled with lingering fear.
If he wasn't tied up tightly, he would have strangled himself to death under the intense illusion of the venomous snake coiling around his neck.
After a long while, a violent coughing sound drifted in from the side. Reef who was similarly tied up woke up. Beside him were two other Uruk-hai corpses. The two Uruk-hai were hugging each other to death. Of course they weren't * * * * *. One could tell that before they died, they had engaged in an intense battle, and finally perished together.
The two of them looked at each other, their hearts filled with the joy of surviving a calamity. They were currently at a loss, not knowing what had happened. But no matter what, being able to survive was already a great blessing.
After panting for a while, Sheyan once again tried to break free from the vine ropes. However, even though he still possessed a considerable amount of strength, he was still tied up extremely tightly. Thus, it was impossible for him to use the same trick to break free.
Moreover, activating Reef's black lightsaber required a considerable amount of utility points, hence it was better not to use it. The two of them helplessly rubbed their hands against a nearby rock, and finally managed to break free from the vine ropes.
After regaining their freedom, Sheyan went to check on the elf maiden's condition. Her condition seemed to have worsened, she seemed to have fallen into a coma. Fortunately, her clothes were intact, and there were no traces of her being violated. Reef took the chance to search the corpses of the Uruk-hai, but the supplies he obtained left him in despair.
The bamboo canisters on the Uruk-hai's waist were filled with their drinks. Reef drank a mouthful and immediately vomited. This drink was mixed with large amounts of blood, and emitted an unbearable stench.
Perhaps to the uruk-hais, this drink was like a delicious yogurt. But to Sheyan and Sheyan, even though their bodies had been digitized, they couldn't afford to be careless in this' A 'difficulty world. Snow blindness was a classic example, if they didn't immediately faint after drinking this' drink ', they should be thanking the heavens.
Drinking water was fine, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into their mouths would suffice. If that didn't work, there was still the lake ahead. What was embarrassing was that the Uruk-hai's diet was raw meat jerky. However, the body hair and hair on the meat jerky were clearly visible. Neither Reef nor Sheyan had any appetite for such food. Obviously, unless they had no other choice, they definitely wouldn't eat it.
The two of them pondered for a moment, they now had two choices.
One was to head back towards the direction of the avalanche.
The other was to enter deep into the pine forest, and swim across the lake to continue onwards. After a mild debate, the two of them chose to cross the lake.
Because if they turned back, they would face a world of ice and snow. Even if they didn't freeze to death, they would face the threat of starving to death. Moreover, there was a huge risk of encountering another Uruk-hai. To the two of them who weren't familiar with the alpine climate, it was practically a path of certain death. But if they continued onwards, they would have to face that crazy and mysterious force, but at least they would be able to live longer.
Borrowing the faint starlight from the sky, Sheyan carried the elf maiden and continued onwards. Reef led the way in front, and after walking for a long time, they finally returned to the lakeside. Even though it was night time, the pine forest was still deathly still. The two of them didn't know why, but the more they walked, the more their hearts felt numb. It was as if there was something lurking in the darkness staring at them.
After reaching the lakeside, the two of them were extremely exhausted. Mainly due to the lack of food, they didn't have the strength to swim. Thus, they leaned against a pine tree by the lakeside to rest.
After sitting for a while, they felt extremely thirsty. They nimbly climbed down the tree and walked to the lakeside, taking in a small mouthful of the incomparably cold lake water. After warming it up in their mouths, they swallowed it down. After tossing and turning for half an hour, their thirst was quenched, but they started to shiver. They could only gather some pine branches and pine needles, and ignite them into a bonfire. After roasting for a while, they finally recovered their breath.
At this moment, the lake suddenly emitted a soft sound. Their hearts stirred, but they maintained their posture of roasting by the bonfire. From the corner of their eyes, they could see a black shadow swiftly shuttling through the water. Although there was no moon, the stars were still resplendent. The surface of the lake sparkled with silvery splendor, extremely serene and beautiful. It seemed like a hungry fish was about to be delivered to their doorstep.
Sheyan pondered for a moment and understood. The reason why the fish was so excited, was probably because of the bonfire in front of it. In this world, moths and insects were mostly attracted to light. Although they would be incinerated into a wisp of smoke, they wouldn't hesitate in the slightest. It was the same for certain fishes. Sheyan grew up in the sea, and had caught thousands or tens of thousands of fishes. Naturally, he was extremely familiar with light fishing methods.
Therefore, although Reef was extremely excited, when it came to fishing experience, Sheyan wouldn't pass on the responsibility. He gestured for Reef to keep quiet, and quietly crouched down on the ground densely covered with pine needles. Then, he slowly crawled towards the lakeside. He tried his best not to make a single sound. At this moment, the ripples in the lake became increasingly violent. It was as though the silvery splendor of the lake was being stirred up by an invisible stick. One could imagine how excited the fish was.
The flames blazed, and occasionally, the crackling of twigs could be heard. Apart from the incessant splashing of water, the surroundings were completely silent. Sheyan silently crouched by the lakeside, even his breathing was extremely light and slow. He looked like a stone sculpture.
The bonfire without any additional firewood gradually extinguished. In the deep darkness of the night, the embers emitted a deep crimson hue, fluctuating with the wind. At this moment, the surface of the water suddenly splashed. That crafty fish finally couldn't endure it any longer. It leapt out of the sparkling water surface, and agitatedly pounced towards the bonfire.
Sheyan abruptly pounced forward! The lake water was extremely cold. When Sheyan's body came into contact with the water, he immediately felt as though he was plunged into an ice cave in the middle of the coldest winter. Even the white breath he exhaled froze. His teeth couldn't help but chatter up and down, emitting a clear and crisp sound. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
