Chapter 129 Gnomes
Chapter 129 Gnomes
After crossing the 'boundary line', everyone officially entered the second grassland.
The blades of grass here are very fast, as big as the palm of an adult, and each blade of grass is very resilient. Looking back at the place they walked, after the dense grass blades closed, there was not even a trace left behind.
Owen glanced back and reminded: "Everyone be careful, the field of vision here is too narrow, and one who is not careful can easily be attacked."
People living in chaotic places will always be vigilant, so this sentence is mainly for Julian.
Julian nodded, and approached Owen cautiously. He knew that in this kind of place, he who had not yet recovered his full strength was more like a drag, so he paid special attention to this aspect.
"Have you noticed? The fat rabbit just looked at this side with strong fear. There must be some kind of huge danger hidden in this grassland."
Owen nodded, and couldn't help getting closer to Julian.
Among the three of them, Julian is the weakest. If someone sneak attack, Julian will definitely be the first target.
The three walked forward slowly, and Owen jumped up from time to time, trying to find some markers that could determine the direction. Unfortunately, everything he could see was green, and this huge grassland seemed to have no boundaries. Shino could see nothing but weeds.
Julian looked up at the sky. A dozen or so of them had disappeared after entering the ruins. The sky hadn't changed at all. The sun was still hanging high in the center, exuding a warm heat.
Is there no night here?
Julian wondered, but in the blink of an eye, the sky became dark, the bright moonlight swayed faintly on the grassland, and the stars were bright and dazzling, and it was a transition from noon to midnight in an instant.
"Why is it getting dark all of a sudden?" Clara pushed her glasses in confusion. The day and night changes here are so weird that people can't help but be on guard.
"Be careful."
Owen also had a bad premonition. After reminding him in a low voice, he drew out his long sword vigilantly, and swiped the sword to cut off all the grass blades around him, clearing out an open space.
Then, under the vigilance of everyone, there was a thin rustling sound suddenly, and the weeds not far away kept shaking back and forth, as if some kind of creature was approaching.
By the moonlight, when Julian saw those creatures, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The creatures rushing out of the grass looked like dwarves, their skin was covered with a layer of body hair, they wore a simple grass skirt around their bodies, and they wore masks with bright colors and hideous expressions on their faces.
These long-haired dwarves whizzed and let out strange screams, and rushed towards the three of them with some very primitive weapons.
Owen stepped forward and swung his sword lightly. The few long-haired dwarves headed by them were cut into two pieces, and their bodies fell to the ground. They were still alive and kept screaming.
The rest of the long-haired dwarves seemed to be frightened by Owen's blow, but in the next second, they continued to howl and rushed forward, with a posture of fearlessness.
Julian's brows were tightly frowned. He had a great time working with Fat Rabbit before. He also wanted to try to communicate with these dwarfs, but in the next second, he gave up this idea and turned to And launched an attack with Owen.
These fearless long-haired dwarves kept pouring out from the grass, and they were overwhelmingly numerous.Julian noticed that the masks on the heads of several dwarves among them were larger than the others, and they were not wearing half-length grass skirts, but more complete straw robes.
These long-haired dwarves who were obviously of high status did not join the battle after they appeared, but scolded some other dwarves and dragged back the bodies of those dwarfs who died in Owen's hands.
After these corpses were dragged back, they lifted their masks, revealing a big mouth with sharp teeth, and ate directly on the corpses.
It was this scene that made Julian stop thinking about communicating with them.
No matter when, cannibalism is a very disgusting thing.
The blank area created by Owen is very large. Those dwarves in robes only eat at the side, and never get close to the battle ring. Even when they eat, they are very careful. Once Owen has a tendency to approach, they will retreat immediately. Inside the grass.
These dwarves in robes didn't care about the deaths and injuries of those dwarfs on the ground, and the dwarves that kept pouring out around them gave Julian and the three of them a bad feeling.
Too much, too much!
Julian didn't count them in detail, but he can roughly estimate from the frequency of their battles. In just two hours, more than 1000 dwarves died at their hands.
Even so, he didn't see any worries or fears from those dwarfs in robes. They just stood calmly outside the battle circle, dragged a corpse to eat from time to time, and the rest were quietly watching them. fighting.
Something's not quite right!
Julian's intuition was not good. The grassland was huge, but they didn't even see a small animal along the way, let alone any other edible things.
Before they came out on this trip, Julian and Owen prepared a lot of food, so he was not worried, but if this group of dwarves lived on the grassland, what would they feed on with such a large group?
This is unreasonable in the food chain!
Julian couldn't figure it out for a while, the battle in front of him didn't allow him to be distracted, although these dwarves are very weak, but as the saying goes, ants kill elephants, there are too many of them, so many that even Owen kept killing them like this Also feel tired.
This battle lasted for nearly ten hours, and the soil on the ground was muddy with blood. However, it was strange that there was no corpse here. From the three dwarves that Owen killed at the beginning, later All the corpses were dragged away, some were eaten by the robed dwarves, and others were dragged into the grass, and it was unknown what else was hidden there.
The long battle made Julian extremely exhausted, and the arm that wielded the long sword seemed to have lost all feeling, so he could only repeatedly swing it numbly, and then swing it again.
A dwarf died under his sword, and the corpses were quickly dragged away by other dwarves. Julian's eyes were empty, his expression was numb, his beautiful face was already stained with blood, and he seemed to be in a kind of out-of-body state. status.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a long-robed dwarf let out a strange scream, and the dwarf who was fighting them stopped suddenly, and then rushed backward like a tide, disappearing into the grass.
Julian swung his long sword several times before realizing it. For some reason, the group of long-haired dwarves retreated. He didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and sat down on his buttocks, panting heavily.
Owen's condition is not good either. This kind of long-term battle does not pose any threat to his physical strength, but it is very exhausting mentally. What's more, he has to allocate a little energy to ensure Julian's safety.Even though these dwarfs were things that could be dealt with with his eyes closed, he didn't dare to relax, fearing that something might happen to him if he was negligent, and it would be too late to regret it.
Relatively speaking, Clara's condition is better, but the joints in her body have been severely worn out by such a long-lasting battle. After going out this time, it is estimated that someone will have to overhaul it, which may be a big consumption.
"Why did they retreat suddenly?" Clara asked puzzled.
Even though the three of them seem to be able to do a job with ease, if this level of fighting continues for a few more hours, there will definitely be some mistakes in the defense of the three of them.And if there is a problem with their defensive circle, the follow-up reaction will definitely lead to worse consequences, maybe all three of them will stay here.
No one could answer Clara's question. Neither Owen nor Julian understood why the other party suddenly retreated when they had the upper hand. Fortunately, the answer to this question was soon presented to them. When the whistling sound gradually faded away and finally disappeared, the dark night suddenly turned back to day.
Julian collapsed on the ground, with a strong smell of blood in his breath. He half-closed his eyes, looked at the bright 'sun' in the sky, and said lightly: "It seems that these dwarfs are afraid of light, so they can only Only appear at night."
As daylight approached, Julian and the others were surprised to find that the weeds that Owen cleared last night re-growed at an unreasonable speed, almost in the blink of an eye, the clearing they cleared was completely destroyed It was restored to its original state.
The blood on the ground also quickly evaporated and disappeared, and the land became dry and hard, as if the coming of day refreshed the grassland, and everything returned to its original state.
Smelling the fresh scent of vegetation around him, if it wasn't for the large stains left on his body, Julian even wondered if he was dreaming of everything last night?
"This grassland is too strange." Julian said in a deep voice, his two beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Owen looked around and had an inexplicable illusion, as if they had been circling in the same place since they entered this grassland.
He couldn't help jumping up high. Everything around him was exactly the same as yesterday. There were no markers, and he couldn't tell the direction. Except for the endless grassland, he couldn't see any extra colors.
Due to a battle last night, Julian and his group did not leave immediately. Owen cleared a piece of land again, straightened the tent, and took Julian into it.
He stuffed the man into the sleeping bag, covered his eyes with Julian's bewildered expression, and said in a muffled voice, "Sleep!"
Julian:? ? ?
"You can still sleep at this time?" Julian looked at Owen in surprise.
"Otherwise? If you didn't sleep last night and didn't sleep during the day, what would you do if there was still a fight at night?" Owen asked rhetorically.
Just as Julian was about to say something, he heard Owen continue: "Don't tell me that you can stay up for a few days now, and you can persist for a day or two. Who knows how long we will stay in this ghost place? No matter what the conditions are Next, we must seize the time to rest, and remember, try to keep your body in the best condition, only in this way can you face challenges and crises better.”
Julian twitched his lips: "Is this based on your experience?"
Owen was silent for a moment: "I just saw something again. I... seemed to be fighting a lot of people in a closed place. Many people died. I was one of the survivors. I learned this right there. Reasonable, and relying on this one, killed an opponent."
Julian opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He guessed that those scenes were probably Owen's battle scenes after entering the God's Abandoned Land. Thinking about it, he knew how cruel the battle there was.
He silently hugged Owen into his arms, feeling inexplicably distressed. His Owen had sacrificed too much to obtain his status today. He couldn't go back to the past to comfort his soul, so he could only comfort his body now.
In a corner that Julian couldn't see, Owen raised the corners of his lips slightly. The trick of selling misery is really tried and tested for Julian...
Plan to pass! √
