Chapter 887 Escape
Hidden behind the earth pit around the bone burial ground, I asked Ren: "Is there anything you can do?"
"Um?"
"That's how we can get out of here," I said, "the smell here is too bad."
"Let's wait until night," Ren said. "The visibility is better during the day, and even I will probably be discovered by them."
"Do we have to be exposed to this smell all the time?"
"I only have one way," Ren said: "If you have any good ideas, you might as well tell them."
I:
In other words, even if you are an expert in this field, there is nothing you can do. How could I, a little white guy, have any better ideas?
I thought about it and suggested, "How about we try to dig a hole next to it?"
"Then what?" Ren asked.
"Then we go in and take shelter, and then come out when it gets dark."
Ren's eyes changed at this moment, turning into an idiot look.
In fact, I also feel that this method is somewhat inappropriate, but maybe it can really avoid those unpleasant smells.
I was about to say something when Ren said, "I'm going to rest."
As he spoke, he really closed his eyes and put his hands behind his head to use as a pillow.
"I said, aren't you afraid that patrol soldiers will come to check during this period?"
"No way," Ren said, "Unless they are people who particularly love this smell, no one will come here."
"That's true." I curled my lips, followed his example and put my hands behind my head as pillows, and slowly closed my eyes.
Although the smell is pungent, it is still more sleepy than sleepy.
When he woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ren was lying on the slope, chewing something in his mouth.
"Are you awake?" He said calmly when he saw me waking up.
"Yeah," I said, "It's already past three o'clock. It won't get dark until about six or seven o'clock here."
"Are you hungry?" Ren asked.
"hungry."
"Well, let's continue with this."
Ren said, throwing the thing in his hand over.
I subconsciously caught it, opened my hand and saw it was a dough ball: "A dough ball?"
Ren nodded: "Although it doesn't taste good, it can satisfy your hunger."
Then, he suddenly thought of something, took out a small bag from the pocket on his waist and threw it over: "This is filled with water. Don't throw the bag away after drinking, it can be used again."
This is a small water bag, only the size of a palm, bulging with water. There is a stopper at the port. Unplug the stopper. I was about to drink when I suddenly stopped and turned to Ren: "Do you still have water?"
Ren took out another small bag from his pocket and shook it. I vaguely heard the sound of water rushing inside.
I took a sip of water, wiped my mouth, and said, "You are really well prepared."
"This is the training of an assassin," Ren said, "It can ensure that I can survive in extreme environments for at least a week."
"My wisest choice during this investigation was to bring you here."
"Even if you don't bring me here, I will follow you," Ren said.
"Huh?" I asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"I can't just watch my master die without saving him."
"Master?" I said hoarsely, "Don't be kidding me. I can't bear these two words. I can barely accept that we are friends."
"You said friends are friends. Besides, masters and servants can also be friends."
Ren's attitude was very serious, and it seemed that he really regarded me as his master.
I couldn't help but ask: "Since when did you start treating me as your master?"
"From the moment I pledge allegiance to you," Ren said.
"Ahaha, when did that happen?" I scratched my head and said with an embarrassed smile, "I don't even remember it."
"As long as I don't forget."
"Well, forget it, you said so anyway." I stopped talking and continued eating gnocchi and drinking water.
After that, Ren and I chatted for a while, and finally, the sky turned dark.
I looked in the direction of the patrol and asked, "Can we go?"
Renn shook his head: "Not yet. It's the first class now. Everyone's spirit is the strongest and their mental power is the most concentrated. Wait a moment."
I had no choice but to continue lying down by the pit and lurking.
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and it was almost dark in the forest. Except for the moonlight, nothing could be seen clearly.
Ren said: "You can leave now."
I followed Ren and carefully followed the original path. On the way, we stopped under a big tree.
Leaning against the big tree, I asked Ren in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Ren said: "The secret sentry nearby has just finished changing its guard. If you go out now, you will be discovered immediately."
"Have you seen all this?" I couldn't help but be surprised: "Your eyesight is really good at night."
"This is a characteristic of my family," Ren said, "being able to see in the dark."
"Can you see in the dark? Is it night vision?" I asked in surprise: "Is it the same as what you see during the day?"
"It's not night vision," Ren said, "It's just that it can be seen more clearly than ordinary people."
"That's awesome!" I exclaimed, "Hey, help me see what's there."
Renn raised his eyes and said, "There are only trees and vines hanging on the trunks, and nothing else."
I was a little disappointed and said to myself: "Oh, no wonder the dark area is turned out to be tree trunks and rattan."
"Okay, you can go."
Following Ren's instructions, he and I continued to march in tandem.
Although it was not all smooth sailing after that, and I stopped and hid several times midway, but fortunately, I was able to avoid danger every time.
Finally out of the surveillance range of all patrols and secret sentries, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Renn on the side turned around and looked quietly in the direction of the burial ground.
After looking at him, I asked, "Do you have any thoughts to express?"
"No," Ren said, "It's you, do you have any ideas?"
"Of course there are, there are quite a lot of them!" I frowned and said, "Now that I know that the bones and carrion in the burial ground have been stolen, Ren, do you think I should tell the Elf Queen about this? "
"It's best not to," Ren said: "The elves are very stubborn, and the Queen of the elves must be the same. Such a stubborn and conservative person in power will be furious once she knows that you have exceeded the rules set by her ancestors."
"Is it possible that you will listen to my explanation later?"
"She should listen," Ren said: "As long as she is not so angry that she will kill you on the spot."
"Death? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all," Ren said: "You should also know very well that for those in power, your own interests are the most critical, followed by the interests of the race and the interests of your friends."
