Ye Ye didn't know how he survived these days,
It took her nearly half a month to return to the camp in the Desolate Mountains from the Wilderness. In order to avoid the demonic beast, she carefully hid in the thick tree trunk, and only after confirming that there was no demonic beast activity nearby, went to the next place where she could hide. Despite her impatience, she had no other choice. Once discovered by the mixed-species demon beast, she could not escape the pursuit by her own strength alone.
More than a dozen sisters fell under the slaughter of the devil, and the other sisters were not good at fighting at all. They fled when the Iron Hand Devil jumped into the crowd and slaughtered wantonly, but in the end, a few were able to return to the camp alive, The leaves have no bottom at all. She didn't even dare to think about this terrible question.
Walking all the way and hiding all the way consumes a lot of magic power, and you can only travel more than ten miles a day, especially when you have to prepare the magic power needed for the night. After eating the dry food on her body, she transformed some wild fruits into food that could satisfy her hunger and quench her thirst. The symbol of the Mutual Aid Society had long since lost its thermal function, so she could only wrap herself a little tighter with bark. Thinking of Sinuo who died here before she was a teenager, Ye Zi's tears couldn't stop falling.
To make matters worse, by the fourth night, she was greeted with a demonic bite in the tree trunk—a series of blows that made her almost forget about it. A tear-like pain suddenly bloomed from her chest and quickly spread to her whole body. She almost lost consciousness in an instant. She bit her tongue until her mouth was full of blood before she gathered her energy to fight the pain. Under the torment of the demons, Ye Zi also thought about giving up, but when she thought of the more than 20 sisters who might survive, either waiting for her to return in the camp, or being seriously injured and in need of her treatment and rescue, she insisted He gritted his teeth and persisted.
Fortunately, the time it took for the demon to devour her body was not long. When she broke free from the suffering, there were cracks all over her body, and the blood that flowed out wet the inside of the tree trunk. In order to avoid the smell of blood attracting evil beasts, she had to endure the pain, took off her clothes, and went to another big tree. At the same time, let the bare branches grow green leaves, and then make the green leaves into clothes that can keep out the cold. Guided by magic, the branches became her needles, and the veins her threads.
Along the way, she did not eat a bite of cooked food or drink a mouthful of hot water. After entering the Extremis Mountains, although she added two layers of green leaf clothes to her hands and feet, her toes were still frostbitten by the rapidly decreasing temperature and the snow that did not reach her ankles. Just like this, she stopped and walked, dragging her unconscious feet, and she finally returned to the camp.
Seeing the familiar figures of the sisters, Ye Ye fell to the ground.
It was two days after she woke up. The prolonged hypothermia caused severe damage to her feet, and the herbs could not stop the expanding gangrene. As a last resort, the sisters had to amputate two damaged toes on her left and right feet. head.
Ye Ye didn't care too much, she was lucky enough to survive, compared to those sisters who would never come back. However, seeing the white cloth belts wrapped around the arms of the still alive, great grief could not be restrained from surging from the bottom of my heart.
There were forty-two sisters at the time of departure, but now only six remain.
After everyone appeased Ye Zi, the eldest Scroll told her about the experience of the group.
When she was fighting with the devil, the incompetent witch took the opportunity to flee towards the camp. That night they encountered an evil beast—a group of wild boars. The crowd was powerless to resist and had to flee. The group that was hunted by the demonic beasts were obviously more fortunate and less fortunate, but they couldn't care less. The next morning, everyone was targeted by a wolf-shaped hybrid, and only eight people escaped this time. Fortunately, after entering the Desolate Mountain Range, the evil beast did not follow.
A few days after returning to the camp, the two sisters developed symptoms of magical backlash. Maybe it was because the mutual aid society was hit too hard this time, the prospects were gloomy, and neither of them could survive the demon bite. And the battle witches haven't returned, just when everyone thought they died under the devil's hands, they didn't expect Ye Ye to come back.
"So... what about the others? Red Pepper, Chasing Wind, and Master Mentor, how are they?"
Ye Ye shook his head, "I am the only one who survived."
"Really..." Scroll replied softly, and it could be seen that she had expected this answer, "Then you should rest well. And..." She hesitated, "Leaves."
"what?"
"When you were in a coma, we discussed it. If Hakara doesn't come back, I hope you can take over the position of mentor."
Ye Ye was stunned, then closed his eyes. Yes, after suffering such a tragic blow, the Co-Aid Association will not elect a new leader, fearing that it will collapse immediately. But the purpose of the Commonwealth is to find the holy mountain, to gain freedom and a place of rest. Now the search for the holy mountain has come to nothing, no, the "holy mountain" itself is a scam, it does not exist in the Extremis Mountains, nor does it exist in the wild land. In this case, is it necessary for the mutual aid society to exist
She was so upset that even if she didn't look at them, she could feel the expectations of the sisters. They needed someone to stand up and lead the confused people to move on.
"Let's... go find Nightingale," Ye Zi said after a long silence.
"What, looking for her?"
"Do you mean to go to Border Town?"
"What if she lied to us?"
"Wendy is there too."
"Maybe she's already dead."
The sisters shouted at each other. Scroll clapped his hands to calm everyone down and asked Ye Zi, "What if what Nightingale said was also a hoax?"
"You can wait in a safe place outside the town," she opened her eyes. "Let me find out the situation first. If she's telling a lie, I'll take over as mentor. If... I die in town, Scroll , you come and lead the sisters to continue walking."
"But I..."
Ye Zi smiled reluctantly, "I know that your ability is not suitable for combat, and it is not helpful for the daily operation of the camp. But I understand now that there is no connection between ability and suitability to be a mentor." The mentor is the guide, Instead of the most capable, it is a pity that he realized it too late. If the mentor of the mutual aid society is the patient and careful Wendy, will the ending be completely different? "Like Wendy, you are the first to join the Mutual Aid Society, and you are also the elder of the sisters. From the east of the kingdom, you have accompanied everyone to the Desolate Mountains. You have rich experiences and act cautiously. Everyone sees it. No one compares You are more suitable to be the mentor to the sisters."
Scroll was silent for a moment, "...What if what Nightingale said was true?"
"Then there is no need for the mutual aid association to exist anymore," Ye Zi said slowly, "Border Town is our "New Holy Mountain". "
