Chapter 17 Come Here
-
Gu Jinli had no intention of understanding what Chen Chigui was thinking.
All she could see now was the pile of rocks. She could take shelter under the rocks, as she was so hot that she was steaming.
Huh?
Someone.
As soon as I rushed into the pile of rocks, I saw a few people sitting in the middle who looked extremely miserable.
Judging from his attire, he should be someone who entered the secret realm with them.
"From the City Lord's Mansion?"
Before she could speak, someone spoke first. Seeing that the clothes she was wearing came from the City Lord's Mansion, the person said, "Why are there only two of you?"
"Who are you?"
Guessing that the other party was probably from a certain family in Gucheng, Gu Jinli sat down in the distance calmly.
"We are from the Song family! Were we not working together yesterday? How could you forget about us so quickly?"
"etc……"
Finally, someone noticed something was wrong. He quickly pulled the person who was speaking and asked cautiously, "Is this really someone from the City Lord's Mansion? I don't think I've ever seen him before."
"Looking closely, it's indeed a strange face. But the clothes she's wearing..."
Clothes don't mean anything, this is a fact known to everyone.
This group of people had obviously been traveling with the people from the City Lord's Mansion for some time and were familiar with each other, so they became alert after noticing that Gu Jinli was a stranger.
"Who the hell are you?!"
The person who spoke first stood up, holding his weapon, and stared at Gu Jinli with an ugly expression.
Since entering the secret realm, their team has encountered many different kinds of monsters and hardships, and they are already like frightened birds.
High-level magical beasts can transform, and in this secret realm full of dangers, we really can't let our guard down at all.
"Don't get excited, guys."
Quickly raising his hand to show that he was harmless, Gu Jinli sat still, glanced at the heroine who had just walked into the shade, and explained: "We are indeed from the City Lord's Mansion, but we got separated at the beginning."
"Oh yes, I know this girl. She is indeed from the City Lord's Mansion."
Pointing at Shen Chigui who came in later, there was a murmur from the crowd: "Such a young child was brought in by the city lord."
As the only child in the team, the nine-year-old heroine was too conspicuous, so it was normal for her to be noticed.
"I also have an impression of this child. He may have indeed been lost."
"It's a human..."
…
The image of the heroine added a lot of persuasiveness to Gu Jinli's words, and the atmosphere around them soon eased.
The person who had stood up earlier sat back down, holding his weapon.
"Since we've met, let's go the same way!"
-
After resting for a while at the pile of stones, Gu Jinli found out through indirect questioning that this group of people was actually the group that came in with them at the beginning.
Now they have been scattered by various dangers, and more than half of their men have been killed.
"There are four people left in the City Lord's Mansion. They were with us last night, but they disappeared this morning."
Pulling out a storage bag from his arms, the man threw it to Gu Jinli: "They are probably dead. I found this, so it can be considered as returning it to its original owner."
“…”
So many people in the City Lord’s Mansion died? Those are the elite personnel.
Even though he knew that the secret realm was not so easy to enter, Gu Jinli couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.
It seems that I am still blessed by the heroine. Although the journey was not so peaceful, I did not encounter any irresistible danger.
It went smoothly after all.
"Thanks."
After taking the storage bag and casually checking it, he found that there were many water bottles filled with water inside. Gu Jinli paused and asked, "Did you find a water source ahead?"
Although these people would bring some supplies into their storage bags when entering the secret realm, there would still be so much water in the desert area.
"We passed a little oasis three days ago."
The man said, "The water source was replenished there."
“No wonder.”
Gu Jinli nodded in understanding.
At the same time, he also felt exactly how special the relationship between him and the heroine was.
…
…
Around dusk, the sun sets and the temperature drops to a level acceptable to the human body.
The team, which had been resting here for a long time, began to leave the pile of stones and continue moving forward.
Gu Jinli naturally followed and planned to travel with these people.
During this period, she did not forget to call the heroine. Considering that Chen Chigui always wanted to fight alone, Gu Jinli also prepared a lot of words to persuade the other party.
But this time, Chen Chigui was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
"Let's go."
She didn't refuse.
Um?
There's something strange.
"Let's follow the team!"
Gu Jinli cautiously probed, "Anyway, it won't be much faster if we act alone, it's better to go with the team, it won't be tiring."
"what ever."
Glancing at her indifferently, Shen Chigui did not refuse and followed her.
"Okay."
Has the heroine finally figured it out?
With a lot of doubts in his mind, Gu Jinli scratched his hair and caught up with the team with the heroine.
…
The rest of the journey was much smoother with the addition of the team.
They find a place to escape the heat during the hottest time of the day, and travel madly the rest of the time. They can also take turns to keep watch and rest at night.
Humans are indeed social animals. Compared to the difficult life with the heroine before, Gu Jinli likes traveling with the team now.
The quality of life has skyrocketed.
"The Tower of Babel can already be seen!"
The team at the front shouted in surprise, and this feeling was quickly passed on to the people behind.
arrive?
"Very good!"
The blisters on her feet had burst so many times that Gu Jinli had long been fed up with this kind of life of sleeping in the open air.
Although there are still many difficulties waiting for them in the Tower of Babel, at least they don’t have to walk anymore.
She felt that she had completed the journey of her life during this period.
…
rustle——
clatter clatter——
There was some strange sound mixed in the wind and sand. Gu Jinli paused slightly and subconsciously listened.
Cluck, cluck…
“Hey Chen Chigui, did you hear—” She turned to look at the heroine behind her.
"ah!!!"
The desperate scream marked the beginning of the massacre.
Gu Jinli didn't even have time to understand the heroine's expression before he was knocked to the ground by the panicked team in front of him.
--Bang!
"Run! It's the man-eating ants!!"
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!!! Help..."
…
It only took a moment for the team to collapse, and the chaotic crowd gave Gu Jinli, who had fallen, no chance to get up.
She didn't know how many times she was stepped on. After the people on her body had finally run away, she struggled to prop up her upper body, only to see a swarm of huge ants.
Dense swarms of ants were crawling towards this direction, each of them was as big as a basketball.
The pitch-black body, the trembling tentacles in front, and the ferocious mouthparts are enough to show how ferocious it is.
If you get bitten, a big piece of flesh will be torn off!
With such large numbers, they will be eaten up in one encounter.
Run!
Run! !
The consciousness in her mind kept screaming, and Gu Jinli was shaking with fear, wanting to turn around and run.
But she was so weak that just by falling down and being stepped on a few times, her limbs became so weak that she couldn't stand up for a long time.
Getting closer.
Getting closer...
Getting closer.
don't want!
She doesn't want to be eaten!
It will be ugly!
"elder sister!"
Suddenly, a huge suction force came from his body, and the next second, Gu Jinli's body was directly swept up by the strange airflow and completely lifted into the air.
It’s the ghostly aura of Chen Chigui.
“Come here quickly!”
The man was calling her.
