After sitting in the bumpy carriage for a long time, her butt started to hurt. Now that they were some distance away from the town, they also encountered several vehicles and pedestrians on the road. They did not suspect Reina in the carriage.
Looking up at the elephant-shaped mountain in front of her, Reina confirmed that this was the Elephant Mountain written on the map. After crossing this mountain, the territory of the Dragon Boat Empire would be behind it. But after entering the territory, she still had a long way to go before she could reach the town.
"I'll just get off here."
Reina suddenly said.
"Here? But this is in the middle of nowhere … "
"It's okay."
She gently put down the little girl who was resting on her lap, then turned over and got off the carriage. Her movements were not elegant, but she did not make any sound. The old man looked at her with hesitation, then lowered his head and continued to drive the carriage forward.
He did not say thank you.
Reina looked at the carriage that left quickly and could not help but sigh.
It seemed that she had to speed up.
In the evening, a group of people riding horses came to the mountain. They were the Brown Wolf Gang. There were about thirty to forty people, each of them was armed, and there were even hunting dogs barking.
"She's in the mountain! She must be in the mountain, there's no mistake. "
The old man riding a mule pointed to the mountain and shouted.
The leader of the Brown Wolf Gang looked at the mountain silently, then silently removed a bag from his waist and threw it to the old man. But he did not catch it, and the silver coins in the bag scattered all over the ground.
"Your reward."
"Thank you, sir, thank you …"
He hurriedly got off the horse, afraid that someone would take his money.
The leader turned his head, rode forward, and turned around to face the crowd.
"Little ones, this is a fat job. Catch that woman, this is the reward."
He raised his hand, and there were two gold coins in it. The men stared at it.
"But remember."
He closed his hand again and continued, "She must be alive. She's worthless if she's dead. Remember."
"Remember!"
The crowd shouted.
"Then what are you waiting for! Go catch her! "
With that, everyone set off towards the mountain. Except for three cloaked men, they were dressed differently from the rest. They were not from the Brown Wolf Gang. The leader of the Brown Wolf Gang looked at them and said, "If my men catch the prey before you, I won't pay you."
Then, he led a few of his men and set off for the mountain. The three of them looked at each other, and a scornful smile appeared on their faces.
The Brown Wolf Gang called them bounty hunters, but in reality, they were just a group of people who had been rejected by the Union.
After all the members of the Brown Wolf Gang left, they turned around and looked at the old man who had just picked up the money and carefully checked the surroundings dozens of times.
"Hey, old man."
The speaker was Ross, wearing a pair of thick leather gloves. The rest were his two followers, one thin and one fat, the tall and thin bald Walker, and the fat Linde who couldn't open his eyes.
"What, what's wrong, my lord?"
The old man turned around and hugged his bag of money as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you a few questions."
Ross smiled. When his eyes curved into two crescent moons, he looked like a good uncle.
"What questions?"
"Did you really see that woman go up the mountain?"
"Well, yes, my lord, it's true."
The old man swallowed his saliva and nodded.
"That's not right."
The moment the other party said this, the old man felt as if something had grabbed his throat and lifted him up and pulled him in front of the other party.
"You told us that as soon as she got out of the car, you ran over, right?"
"My lord, spare, spare me, I, I really didn't see her go up the mountain, but! But! She told me personally that she was going to that mountain, it's true, my lord. "
"So that's how it is, well, I understand, that means you lied to me, right?"
Ross opened his eyes. His eyes were very scary, making the old man feel extreme fear.
"I, I'm sorry, my lord, I …"
"What I hate the most in my life is when people lie to me."
After that, only the sound of bones breaking was heard. The old man's limbs hung down in an instant and then fell to the ground. The mule behind seemed to notice something and after a roar, he turned around and ran.
The money bag was held up by a bloody glove and slowly flew in front of Ross.
"He still has a granddaughter, don't you feel pitiful?"
Bald Walker said with a smile. His face was full of iron nails and he looked very scary.
Ross looked back and said, "Why, do you feel pitiful now?"
Walker grinned.
"I want to say, why didn't you kill her in the first place? She's always called me sister, it's so annoying."
"Well, then this old man wouldn't have brought us here."
Ross tied the money bag to his waist and looked at the mountain. Fat Linde looked at the corpse on the ground.
"I'm hungry."
He murmured.
"Now is not the time to eat, but if we catch that woman, you can eat whatever you want."
"By the way, Ross, I mean if, if we catch that woman, if she looks good, can we …"
Walker stuck out his long tongue and licked the iron nails on his face. He looked very scary.
"The premise is that you don't let this pig Linde eat her."
"Ah! Boss, look at this guy, Linde, you are really not picky about food! "
Walker suddenly shouted. Ross looked back and saw that the pig-like Linde opened his mouth wide and swallowed the corpse on the ground. He was like a snake, he could make his mouth dozens of times bigger and the teeth on his gums were very sharp and many, he was like a monster. The horse behind him was frightened and seemed to want to run away, but the reins were tied to Linde's waist and no matter how much he pulled, he didn't move.
Ross glanced at him and said indifferently:
"There's no time to mess around here, it's time to go, Linde, no matter how hungry you are, don't eat the horse, let's go."
With that, he rode his horse up the mountain, but strangely, he was not going in the direction of Elephant Mountain, but another mountain.
"Hey Ross, why are you going in this direction? Could it be that you've found her trail? "
Walker hurriedly followed after him.
"No, it's just intuition."
Ross said lightly.
He raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him, looking at the dense woods and mountains. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that there was something on the mountain.
It was a dangerous existence that could arouse the blood in his body.
"Wait for me, wait."
Behind them, Linde pulled the black horse and chased after the two. His stomach was swollen like a water balloon, but the two didn't seem to hear him and didn't stop at all.
In the dark night, Reina, who was sleeping on the tree, suddenly opened her eyes.
