Chapter 376 The Galloping Carriage!
Victor's words made James relax a little, but he still looked at Victor with some unease.
Victor took a step forward, slowly stretched out his hands to grab James' shoulders, and said in a deep voice.
"Jimmy, we're brothers! Do you understand?"
Having said that, Victor's hands grabbing James' shoulders couldn't help but increase his strength.
"Good brothers will protect each other!"
After seeing six bone spurs growing on James's hand just like the claws of a beast, Victor guessed whether there was some connection between the two, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, both of them have claws like a beast. General things exist.
But this was just his instinctive guess, and when he heard Thomas say that John Howlett was not James' biological father, and called him James' son, Victor was completely dumbfounded.
James turned out to be his father Thomas and the manor hostess Elizabeth had an affair, that is to say, James is his half-brother!
This shocked Victor, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
He originally treated James as his own younger brother. Now that he knew that James was really his own younger brother, Victor was even more delighted. He followed up without hesitation.
Compared with his fierce and tyrannical father Thomas, James' position in Victor's mind is undoubtedly much higher. In his heart, James will always be the frail little brother who needs his care. How can he be at ease now that James leaves alone.
So, leaving his father Thomas in a pool of blood, Victor quickly chased after James after he ran out the door.
However, after the changes just now, James' physical fitness seems to have been greatly improved.
Originally frail and lacking in exercise, James couldn't outrun the sturdy Victor. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to catch up with James soon.
But this time, the strength, speed, stamina and stamina shown by James were not much different from him, and it took a lot of effort for him to finally catch up with him in the woods.
Holding James' thin shoulders tightly with both hands, Victor looked at him dodging in a panic, revealing a deep uneasy look, and said in a deep voice.
"You should be strong now! Then no one can bully us!"
Feeling Victor's care, James, who was originally surrounded by ice and cold, finally felt a touch of warmth again, and his young heart became fragile again.
Looking up at Victor, remembering the past, James couldn't help speaking to him in a crying voice.
"I want to go home!"
After all, James was just a child, and he was desperate to escape before, but how could he not yearn to return to that familiar and warm home.
"We can't go back!"
There was determination in Victor's voice.
"Anyway, we must stick together!"
As he spoke, his eyes became fierce.
"Everyone who stands in our way must die!"
After saying this, Victor looked at James with encouraging eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Can you do it? Little brother!"
Looking at Victor's firm and encouraging eyes, James nodded slightly.
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.
"My direction to the river!"
"You go up the mountain, hurry up!"
The two quickly turned their heads and saw that more than a hundred meters behind, there were several firelights moving towards them.
"They're here!"
Victor knew that these people were here to arrest them, and once they were caught, not to mention the fact that James killed Thomas, just the fact that his hands grew bone claws would be enough to kill him!
After all, in this era, these special humans will be burned to death as "monsters", not to mention a "monster" who killed his own father with his own hands!
So they must escape!
"Can you still run?"
Victor looked back at James and asked eagerly.
James was also flustered by the chasing soldiers behind. Hearing this, he couldn't ignore the pain in the soles of his feet and nodded quickly.
Immediately, Victor pulled him and ran quickly into the depths of the woods.
Although there is a thick layer of fallen leaves in the woods, there are still many branches and stones scattered on the ground. It is okay to wear shoes, but James is barefoot, and the soles of his feet have been scratched many times. He became dripping with blood while running, and every step was painful.
However, after all the previous changes, James has become a lot stronger, he just endured the severe pain in his feet, and followed Victor and ran forward without slowing down his speed at all.
"Keep going, don't look back!"
As he ran, Victor reminded James softly.
"Um!"
James hummed softly, gritted his teeth and ran with all his strength under Victor's pull.
The two tried their best to run forward, but they still failed to get rid of the chasing soldiers behind. Although the traces left by the two were not particularly obvious, they were still easy to distinguish in the eyes of experienced hunters. , it's only a matter of time before they get caught.
Victor and James couldn't help but feel anxious.
Seeing that the chasing soldiers behind them were pressing closer, getting closer and closer, just as the two of them gradually became desperate, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves that was blocked by trees and became unclear suddenly came from the front.
Hearing the sound of the horse galloping, the two couldn't help but sank in their hearts.
They even sent people on horseback to intercept them. It seems that this time is doomed!
When the two of them didn't know whether to advance or retreat, and where to run, Victor's brows suddenly wrinkled.
It turned out that as they ran forward, the sound in front became clearer. Victor listened carefully, but found that the sound of hooves was even mixed with the sound of rolling wheels.
Victor's eyes lit up involuntarily, he no longer hesitated, and directly pulled James and ran forward.
The two ran forward a short distance before they got out of the woods.
Standing on the edge of the woods, looking forward through the dim and dim moonlight, I saw a road next to the woods, and at the source of the sound of horses’ hooves, there were four wheels with two dim yellow wind lamps hanging at the front of a carriage. The carriage was galloping toward them from not far away.
Looking at the carriage that was getting closer, Victor's eyes flashed with joy, and he didn't care to hide. He rushed out of the woods and ran to the middle of the road, spreading his arms to stop the carriage.
It's just that the speed of the carriage is very fast, and the distance is not far away. When he ran to the middle of the road to stop the carriage, the carriage was already very, very close to him.
"Be careful!"
