As night fell, the two did not make a fire, but simply found a place sheltered from the wind. Bai Chi took out dried meat and fruit bread. After a hearty meal, they began to discuss what to do next.
They have been deliberately avoiding other people these days, not because they are afraid, but because they feel it is unnecessary.
The real enemy is the person who knows how to leave the island. The first thing they have to do is find a way to return to the island.
At the same time, the Grand Duke and the Earl's disregard for human life and hunting of civilians were made public!
To be precise, not only the common people, but also the ordinary nobles, were also the playthings of those people in their conversations and jokes.
Of course, it would be better to bring out a few more victims to make it more credible.
"it's useless."
Luo Yunxiao spread hay on the ground and covered it with animal skins that Bai Chi had brought out. This was where they would rest on the mountain.
"The Grand Duke's prestige is very high. Unless someone has absolute power to overthrow him, no one dares to say anything. Next year, the same hunting game will be held again. If not on this island, then somewhere else."
Bai Chi was soaking his feet next to him, and Xiao Hei in the space did not forget to complain that others were here for an adventure, but its owner was just like out for a trip.
Bai Chi ignored it. He wanted to take a bath not only to soak his feet, but also to soak his body. He had been traveling in this forest for almost ten days. Moreover, the humidity and temperature in the dense forest were high. His clothes were soaked after a day's work.
But Luo Yunxiao was worried about the danger. He was not comfortable with taking a bath, let alone taking a bath. The two of them could only wash up briefly every other day.
After hearing Luo Yunxiao's words, Bai Chi suddenly remembered something.
"Have you known about this for a long time?"
Luo Yunxiao did not deny it: "I heard some news, but I don't know the details."
Bai Chi finished soaking his feet, put on his shoes and poured out the dirty water. Luo Yunxiao had just prepared the sleeping place, and before he turned around, Bai Chi rubbed against his side.
"Are you really an orphan?"
The Earl's original requirement for selecting guards was that they must be orphans, and his excuse to the outside world was that they were carefully trained to prevent rebellion.
But the truth is, no one cares if an orphan dies.
But again, the orphans would not know any inside information. Only after they arrived on the island and saw the notices scattered from the sky did they realize that they had become the so-called prey.
Just like everyone else.
But Luo Yunxiao didn't seem to be like that. Whether now or in the original owner's memory, he was extremely calm, and quickly accepted everything, and even quickly counterattacked.
If Luo Yunxiao knew nothing, then his ability to accept things would be too strong, right?
However, just when Bai Chi was doubting, his body was suddenly pulled over by Luo Yunxiao.
Um?
What are you doing so late at night?
Not pretending anymore?
However, the next second, he felt himself being pressed against the stone wall, the two of them pressed tightly together, Luo Yunxiao even covering his mouth.
Bai Chi was confused for only a second before he immediately reacted.
Someone is approaching!
He was so focused on wondering whether Luo Yunxiao knew about it and whether he should let Xiao Hei check his identity that he didn't notice someone approaching.
"I clearly saw them walking this way, why haven't they found them yet?"
"It must be around here. The leaves around here show signs of being disturbed."
"Look! They didn't take the food, but they don't look hungry at all, and their clothes are clean. They must have a secret!"
"Yes, maybe they know how to leave, or they are in contact with people outside. We must find them!"
There were several people talking, and Bai Chi heard a few familiar voices, including Parker, who had stabbed the original owner in the back.
Compared to the sunny and cheerful handsome guy I first met, his voice now is full of sinister evil.
It wasn't just him, it was the same for everyone else. Before they even got close, the smell of blood on their bodies could be smelled from afar.
It was obvious that everyone had a very hard time during their time on the island.
Only Bai Chi and Luo Yunxiao, apart from avoiding other people, lived every day like they were on vacation camping, with rice, flour, grains, oil, fruits, and almost barbecue and beer.
No wonder those people were so sure that they were connected with the Earl's people when they saw the two of them. That's why they could be clean and tidy while everyone else was like beggars and savages.
The voices of those people were very close, almost above their heads, but unfortunately it was dark under the lights, and the sky was dark and starry tonight, with dense woods blocking the view. They did not notice that the person they were looking for was right next to the big rock under their feet.
Those people attacked the two of them in a sarcastic tone, and then quickly dispersed. Luo Yunxiao also released his hand that was covering Bai Chi's mouth. The two of them leaned against the big rock and listened carefully to the movements around them.
The nearest person was less than five meters away from them.
Bai Chi wanted to make a gesture to Luo Yunxiao, but when he raised his hand, he found that he was pitch dark. Then he groped to find Luo Yunxiao's hand and stroked his palm with his fingertips a few times.
wait for me.
Then he leaned forward and reached out.
He had originally planned to let him go. After all, the real culprit was the count who sent them here and treated them as prey.
The real opponents of all of them should be the earl watching the show in the center of the island and the grand duke hiding behind.
However, now, Parker brought others to chase him and Luo Yunxiao. In this case, he could not be blamed.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Bai Chi had already arrived behind the figure with his back to him.
He was not given time to react, just like when he had attacked the original owner.
One hand quickly covered his mouth and nose, and with the other hand, the dagger suddenly stabbed into his lower back from behind.
I wanted to struggle and call for help, but for some reason I couldn't move my body. Only the severe pain in my lower back was extremely clear.
He could even feel the dagger stirring in his stomach, and the hot blood flowing down his lower back and soaking into his legs.
Then everything went black and I lost consciousness.
With a loud bang, the huge noise startled the others around.
"who!"
The loud noise startled the others, and they quickly gathered in the direction where the sound came from.
Some people even lit torches, and the sizzling oil gave off a fishy smell, and no one knew what it was made of.
There are five more people.
What they didn't notice was that behind them, two dark shadows quickly hid in the shadows and approached them.
"It's Parker!"
The man holding the torch in the middle exclaimed and shouted a warning.
"Be careful! Those two guys must be nearby!"
Unfortunately, his reminder was too late. With two subtle noises, two more people disappeared. And this time, the bodies were not thrown out, and no one knew where they were hidden.
The remaining three people quickly turned their backs to each other and stood on guard, their faces filled with fear and shock.
"It's them, it must be Bai Chi and Luo Yunxiao!"
He originally came here to look for prey, but ended up becoming the prey himself.
Or a prey that has no power to fight back.
