The teenager crouched on the side with his head in his hands, in self-loathing.
He was so frightened by the giant carnivorous flower just now, he couldn't recover for a while, and when the major general was about to leave, he was afraid that he would be left behind, so he dragged the other party away... Now that he recovered, he himself felt ashamed no.
Especially when I swore not long ago that he was the only one who could protect Major General Troll, but he was slapped in the face when he turned around.
…
Thinking of the terrible force value of Major General Troll who cleanly killed the giant carnivorous flower in just a few minutes, Mutt felt that he should honestly return to the role of being protected.
Even if the major general loses his memory, his combat effectiveness is still outstanding, and his level of toughness is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people like him.
Forget it, don't think about it, since the major general's fighting power is still so strong, it's a good thing, then he can try to go outside, maybe he can find more people, and see if there is a way to leave here.
Mutt thought so, and looked up to that side.
Major General Troll was standing near the dead giant carnivorous flower, looking down for something. He lowered his head and looked around, then walked to the place where the pile of shriveled vines were paralyzed, raised his feet and lifted those vines. The vine kicked it away and picked out a branch from it.
Mutt was still wondering what he was doing with the branch, and then he saw him walking towards him with the branch, grabbed his hand, and walked forward.
Mutt didn't know what he was going to do, so he had to follow him quickly. After walking for a while, Mutt found that he had brought himself back to the small stream where he started.
Troll squatted by the stream, washed the branch, and after washing off the tiny vines on it, Mute recognized that it was not a branch but a root, which was the one that was eaten by the carnivorous Kao at the beginning. The man was cut down from a strange little tree that could walk. For some reason, the carnivorous flower king ate up the man, but spit out the root of the man.
After the major general washed the roots, he stood up, broke off a small piece, and stretched it straight to Mutt's mouth.
Mutt stared in astonishment at the small piece of tree root sticking out in front of his mouth, and looked up at Troll.
Those dark blue eyes looked at him intently, and the outstretched hand moved a little closer to his mouth again, and the tree root almost touched his lips.
The boy reflexively took a step back and shook his head vigorously.
He doesn't dare to eat this kind of root cut from a small walking tree. He doesn't know what it is, and as long as he thinks that this root is spit out from the mouth of that wriggling carnivorous Kao, he feels nausea.
But he just shook his head, and Troll grabbed his jaw, and the small piece of tree root was forced into his mouth.
"You can eat."
Dark blue eyes stared at him, Troll said.
Mute hesitated for a moment, remembering that the man seemed to have gnawed a few mouthfuls of this tree root not long ago. In this way, this thing should be edible, right
He took a bite hesitantly. The tree root was a bit hard, but he could bite it open. When he took that bite, a stream of sweet juice sprayed in his mouth, a bit like the taste of vegetable juice. The sweet taste in his mouth brightened the boy's eyes, and he took a few more bites. The tree root looked ugly, but it tasted good, similar to the taste of raw sweet potatoes on earth, but a little more spicy.
The most amazing thing was that it was such a small piece of tree root. After eating it, his stomach, which had been suffering from hunger since morning, didn't feel hungry at all, and he felt very full.
It seems that this tree root is good for satisfying hunger. Mutt looked at his sleeve, and a large part of his forearm had been corroded by the mucus secreted by the vines that entangled him, and it fell off when he pulled it hard.
He simply washed the cloth of the sleeve in the stream, made a small cloth bag, packed the roots into pieces, and tied the mouth of the bag with strong vines. Then, after thinking about it, he stuffed the more important bag of food to Troll.
Well, it's more reassuring to put it on someone with a high force value.
While Mutt squatted in the stream tossing these things, Troll returned to the quiet look not long ago, saying nothing, doing nothing, just staring at the cheerfully flowing stream under his feet in a daze.
Mutt fastened the little package to his belt, and he let him do it.
After tossing the small bag of food, Mute looked up and saw Troll who had been staring at the stream in a daze just now looking down at him. The dark blue pupils were as deep as an endless starry sky. It can suck the soul of a person into it.
At this moment, those eyes are as pure and clear as a child's, coupled with the vague confusion in the eyes, it makes people feel soft-hearted just looking at it.
"Hold things well, don't drop them."
Seeing those eyes, Mute could not help but lower his voice when talking to him, as if coaxing a child.
Troll hummed.
No matter how obedient he looked, Mute almost wanted to reach out and touch his head, but thinking about what would happen to him once the major general regained his memory, the boy reluctantly resisted the urge.
Mutt turned around and planned to go outside to explore. He didn't notice that he subconsciously held Troll's hand when he left.
Even though he knew that Troll's force value was against the sky, when he looked at those confused and clear pupils, he always had a feeling that this was a child who needed to be worried about, so he unconsciously held Troll's hand.
The man's eyes fell on the hand that was leading him. The jet-black hair slanted across the corners of his eyes. The shadow of the hair tip made it difficult to see the expression in his eyes at the moment. He just quietly He stared at the hand holding his hand for a while, then raised his eyes and looked away.
He closed his eyes slightly, and at this moment, an extremely dangerous aura emanated from his body, and the movement of tens of meters around in the dense jungle had fallen into his ears.
After confirming that there was nothing too dangerous nearby, he opened his eyes again, and continued to follow Mute without saying a word, but the sudden dangerous aura just now seemed to have never appeared before.
He may not even know why he did this, but it is an instinct.
It is the instinct of a wild animal to survive in the jungle where the jungle is full of dangers.
enemy.
Instinct was telling him so.
Except for the man holding his hand, all living things in this place are his enemies.
...
……………
It was a reptile about ten meters long. The scales all over its body were a bit like a giant python, but it had more than a dozen pairs of tiny legs densely packed, allowing it to get up extremely quickly.
It opened its mouth, and its sharp teeth were exposed, densely packed at the tips.
Its thick and horribly long body is perched on top of a towering giant tree, its mossy emerald green body is well hidden among the dense branches and leaves, its huge vertical pupils glow strangely in the dark, staring at the tree the next prey.
After waiting patiently for a long time, after confirming that the two prey below were unsuspecting, it moved its dozen pairs of slender legs and swam down the thick tree trunk rustlingly.
Closer, closer.
A relatively large prey is next to the fire that it hates, but another smaller prey with thin skin and tender meat is under the tree and under it. Unfortunately, it has no sense of smell and cannot smell the attractive scent of the prey. Blood, but it can imagine the delicious flesh and blood it can taste when it swallows its prey.
The venomous saliva dripped from its densely packed sharp teeth, and it opened its bloody mouth wide, aiming at its prey to bite—
A hand stretched out suddenly, grabbed its head, and pulled its huge body from the tree with terrifying force, made a half-circle in the air, and fell heavily on the ground with a slap.
It was thrown so hard that it was completely messed up, staring at its eyes, before it recovered, a thin blade had already cut off its head, and the blood sprayed all over the sky rain.
Mute had just taken a nap under the tree, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a monster that looked like a multi-legged crocodile and a python was beheaded by Major General Troll.
He blinked, expressing his composure. After walking all the way today, the major general's force value is simply fierce. Those beasts that don't have long eyes and look hideous and terrifying were almost killed by the major general at the moment they charged up.
And he also went from nervous at the beginning to numb now.
No, Troll easily killed this multi-legged monster that looked like a giant python, casually lifted the severed head and a huge body about ten meters long, and threw it to another place.
After returning, he continued to sit by the fire in a daze.
The bonfire was burning, and the flames reflected the side cheeks of the black-haired man who was looking at it in a daze, casting a faint light on the snow-white skin.
Mute sat under the tree, looking at the pretty face that was dyed red by the flames. To be honest, in such a dangerous environment, having such a person with a force value of BUG by his side really made people feel at ease. .
Especially this man with explosive force value is not only good-looking, but also listens to him very much.
"special… "
Mutt wanted to call Major General Troll, but his voice circled in his throat and turned back.
When he first called Major General Troll, he changed his tone and called Troll as Tran, but the major general who lost his memory was very stubborn for some reason, and decided that Tran was his name.
So once Mutt called Major General or Troll, that person would be in a daze, as if he hadn't heard it. looked at him brightly.
"Tran."
The young man yelled softly, and the black-haired man who was sitting by the fire in a daze turned his head. The flames reflected in the man's eyes. He looked at the young man, and there seemed to be tiny flames jumping in those dark sapphire-like pupils.
"You come to sleep, and I will watch in the middle of the night."
Mutter said.
As soon as he had finished, Troll got up and walked over from the fire, and sat down beside Mutt.
Troll leaned on the thick tree trunk, tilted his body, and leaned over. Mutt was stunned for a moment, and saw the major general tilted his head and pressed his shoulder, and his body leaned against him.
That movement was extremely natural, as if it was a matter of course.
When Mutt looked sideways, he could see the shadow cast by the slender eyelashes of the man leaning on his shoulder on his snow-white skin, and the delicate black hair fell down on his shoulder , the cold hair brushed his neck, cool, and a little itchy.
The young man leaning on him breathed lightly and evenly, that pretty face was very close to him, relaxed at the moment, and fell asleep peacefully, his light-colored lips were slightly parted, like a child clinging to someone, that The appearance of snuggling up makes people feel soft-hearted.
Mute involuntarily raised his hand, brushing up a strand of black hair scattered on the tip of Troll's nose.
The hair touched by the fingers is cold and delicate, like satin, and the silky touch makes people want to touch it again and again.
At first, he was worried that he would be punished by the major general after he touched his hair, but at this time Mute thought that the major general was asleep now anyway, and he would not be known if he touched it, so he rubbed the lock of hair with his fingers for a long time.
...
Shoulder numb.
After half the night, Major General Troll, who was leaning on him and pillowing his shoulder, slept comfortably. He sat in the middle of the night only to feel that his left shoulder was numb.
After Troll got up, he rubbed his left shoulder for a long time.
The fire was almost out.
The man stood in front of him and watched him rubbing his shoulders sullenly, his expression seemed a little at a loss, as if he had done something wrong and worried that he would be angry.
After a moment of hesitation, Troll held out his hand to him.
Mutt was still a little depressed at first, but when he saw Troll's bewildered expression, he suddenly felt funny again, raised his hand and grabbed Troll's extended hand, and stood up with that strength.
He just sat without moving for most of the night, and his body was a little stiff. He turned his left arm vigorously while thinking, raised his head, and looked around the treetops.
"I want that."
The boy pointed to a few chirping birds jumping on the treetops tens of meters high and said.
Troll glanced at him, leaned over to pick up a few small stones, and threw them out with a wave.
With a few slaps, the little birds on the treetop were knocked down by the pebbles and landed directly at the feet of the two of them.
Troll turned his head to look at Mutt, his eyes were bright, as if asking him if he would not be angry like this.
High strength is good.
Mutt, who was not angry at first but was too stiff to move, wrapped the little birds in mud, instructed Troll to raise the fire again, and then stuffed the mud lumps under the fire.
It has to be said that instructing the major general to do this and that while the major general obeys obediently makes him feel very happy.
The roasted bird for breakfast was finished quickly. Although there was no salt or seasoning, the meat of the bird here was fresh and tender, and the taste was not bad.
After breakfast, the two set off again.
Both of them walked downstream along this small stream. After walking for a day yesterday and for a long time today, they suddenly came to an end.
The stream breaks off on a high cliff and falls.
Mutt, who finally got out of the dense forest, stood on the cliff and looked down, with a very wide field of vision, but everything he could see was still full of lush and towering trees, as well as deep mountains and wild forests.
At first glance, it seems that the entire ground of this planet is occupied by dense plants, and all kinds of strange plants and strange animals, large or small, are the rulers of this planet.
Mutt glanced around again, and suddenly saw a strange place on the side of the cliff.
There are no dense plants there, and it seems to be a rare open space, but it is too far away to see clearly, and it can only be vaguely seen that it is very different from the surrounding scenery.
"Let's go there and have a look."
Mut pointed to the place and said to Troll.
Troll didn't express any opinions. Basically, he did what Mutt said. Wherever Mutt went, he just followed.
The two walked around the road, found a gentle slope, climbed down the mountain, and set off in that direction.
The place was not close, and it took almost a day for the two of them to finally reach their destination.
As soon as he stood in front of the large open space, Mute was stunned.
The clearing was much wider than what he had seen from the cliff, and to the youth's shock, it was not a clearing, but a ruin.
Collapsed towers, broken houses, corroded alloy city walls were in dilapidated condition, countless broken bricks and broken tiles were scattered everywhere, and broken steel scattered everywhere twistedly.
The wind whistled past the horrifying ruins, and the whistling sound was empty.
This is like a small city with steel towers where many people lived, but now it is a deserted place full of gravel. I don't know what happened here.
Mutt walked forward, wanting to go in and check the gravel ruins surrounded by dense jungle, but after walking a few steps, he found that the people around him were still, so he turned around to look.
The young dark-haired man stood there, motionless.
Looking at this ruined land with dark blue eyes, the pupils shrank slightly.
"I've been here before."
Troll stared at the ruins for a long time, and suddenly said this.
Before Mute could react, he saw Troll suddenly put his hands on his head, and he knelt down on the ground.
He pressed his fingers hard on his head, his head seemed to be throbbing violently, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times uncontrollably because of the sudden pain.
Mutt squatted down nervously and grabbed his wrist, seeing the veins on the back of his hand bulging, obviously he was extremely depressed.
The boy felt bad suddenly, and shouted a few times in a hurry, but Troll just pressed his head hard, as if he couldn't hear anything.
The black-haired man knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his teeth clenched, his pupils contracted forcefully, and he gasped violently.
After a while, he stood up abruptly, quickly leaped over the dilapidated alloy city wall, rushed into the ruins, and disappeared instantly.
"and many more!"
Mute yelled, subconsciously followed over the wall and chased after him, but Major General Troll's speed was so fast that he lost after chasing for more than ten seconds.
All he could see were ruins. He didn't know where he had chased Troll, so he could only stand there panting and looking around.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked forward slowly, the metal ring on his wrist turned into a sharp dagger.
At this moment, the sky had already darkened, night fell on the earth, and the light was dimming little by little. The boy was walking alone in the deserted city, and the strong wind at night whizzed and circled over the ruins. In this ruined city, There was a terrifying groaning sound, which made people's hairs stand on end.
There is a sense of déjà vu from a ghost movie...
He clearly knew that he was scaring himself, but the horrible ghost movies he had seen before could not be controlled in his mind. The boy was walking alone in the deserted and silent ruins, listening to the horrific howl of the wind. , Listening to the sound of my own footsteps echoing over, my heart suddenly felt a little hairy.
Believe in technology Believe in science.
You must know that this is the interstellar era, it is impossible to switch to the ghost channel.
While Mutter encouraged himself like this, he continued to walk forward slowly, looking for the trace of Major General Troll.
Up to now, he still hasn't figured out how the major general suddenly rushed into this weird ruin, and what is the major general's initial sentence of "I've been here"...
...
Mute suddenly remembered the situation when Major General Troll killed the giant carnivorous Kao cleanly... At that time, the major general went to the flower core almost without hesitation... It felt like he knew the carnivorous Kao very well. same weakness...
And he let himself eat that tree root, it looks like he knows the root can satisfy hunger...
And when fighting other aggressive monsters along the way... No matter how powerful the major general is, it is impossible to kill him with one move every time in battle... Rather, his deadly move is very proficient. It's like fighting those strange creatures countless times...
Mutt felt that he had vaguely guessed something, and this guess made him startled for a while.
[Sinner's Paradise]
[This is the place where the empire exiles the heinous criminals]
This is what the man who died at the mouth of the carnivorous Kao once said.
However, Major General Troll he... has ever been on this planet
