Doris didn't know that Lide's "can still run" was really able to run.
After running for seven or eight miles at a stretch, Doris was just out of breath at first, she ran for a while holding her stomach, and then fell directly to the ground.
Lied, who was carrying Alaya on his back, not only maintained a standing posture, but even had the strength to move the tense muscles of his legs and feet.
Doris really couldn't think of why this human boy who looked as weak as herself had such good physical strength, but she knew that she couldn't use more strength to run anyway. If this goes on like this, before the pursuers follow, he will be exhausted to death.
"Bengong, I need to rest..."
Doris barely raised her head, and said something weakly.
Lied nodded and said:
"Alright. Then rest for a while."
Doris immediately got up, found a thick tree, and leaned comfortably under it. After taking a look at Lide as if he was busy with other things, he secretly lifted up his skirt and rubbed his sore calves. Lied put Alaya down. Alaya is now in a semi-comatose state, lying flat on a bluestone with her eyes closed, and puts one hand on the hilt even when she is half asleep and half awake. .
Lid looked around, picked up a stone from the ground, and carved an inconspicuous mark on a tree.
He did this a lot along the way, so Doris wasn't too surprised.
But immediately after, Lid took out another bag from his arms, tied the bag tightly with some pain, cut a half-finger-long slit on the top of the bag, walked up to Alaya, and said in a low voice what.
Alaya raised her hand slightly, she was almost out of strength, but she could barely control [Crimson Fire] with sword energy, the moment the Crimson Fire came out of its sheath, it flew in circles towards the tree that Doris was leaning against, Doris only felt that something suddenly fell down, and when she looked up, she found that it was a demon that had been knocked unconscious.
The Mozu is very small, only twenty centimeters tall, and looks a bit like a squirrel, but the color of the top of the head is blood red, and there is a circle of dangerous needles around the neck. This little guy is probably only at the second level, even if it is Alayya who is seriously injured, it is very easy to knock it unconscious.
Lied went to the demon, tied the bag to its back, and threw it into the jungle. A little bit of white crystals spilled out from the opening of the bag, but only a little bit. Because the crack is above rather than below, a little crystal will only spill out when it is violently bumped, and it will not leak out at ordinary times.
"what is that?"
Doris asked.
"Salt."
Liede simply replied:
"Although the marks I made on the tree are not very conspicuous, but you can tell them if you look carefully. When I came here, I have been throwing salt on the road, which is much more concealed... But I think those demons can still be found. Two In the presence of other people, I believe they will think that the marks on the tree are a kind of cover-up, and maybe they will chase the salt grains to find us after a while."
Doris couldn't help but said:
"What if they're not as smart as you think?"
Lid shrugged his shoulders:
"It doesn't matter. I don't place too much hope on it. It works best. Anyway, the situation can't get worse."
Lied didn't say a word. Marking is not only to confuse the demons, but also has other functions. But he didn't intend to tell Doris, because once it was really a last resort, he would have to throw Doris away at any time and hand it over to the demons who were in charge of hunting her down. If that happens, Doris may tell everything she knows out of resentment.
After all, this is the territory of the demons, and Doris is a stranger with different races, so Lid has to be careful.
Doris naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and asked nervously:
"Then what do you put your hope on? The further you go west, the closer you will be to the core area of the demons. If you really go to the interior of the demons, let alone the demon king or the four heavenly kings, just meet a demon with a weight of ten or more, and we will all be over. !"
Lid picked up Alaya again, tied it tightly with a belt, and said to Doris:
"Do we still have a choice? This is the territory of the demons, not my Yuxi City, nor your Elven Thousand Miles Forest. In this kind of place, living is good luck, dying is bad luck, it's that simple .In case you accidentally bump into it, what can you do? But you should not die, at most you will be tied up and continue to be transported to the big man above who flipped your brand."
Doris said angrily:
"I don't know who can reach out to the territory of the elves, but if I find out, I will gather the army to kill it when I go back! Do you really think that the elves are easy to bully? I don’t want the demons to touch a finger, it’s disgusting to think about it!”
Lied smiled and said:
"I hope you can return to the elves alive, because even if Yuxi City alone blocks this round of demon attack, it is impossible to really hurt them."
"Hmph! You're wise, when I return to this land with the army of elves, I'll just help you out..."
Doris became more and more excited as she spoke, and stood up with her knees supported, only feeling that her body was full of energy again. The legs, which seemed to be filled with lead, now have the strength to continue running.
Lide glanced at her, smiled, turned his head and said:
"Let's go."
Of course he didn't expect Doris to return to the elves alive and bring the army to fulfill the promise he made just now, that was too far away. But he saw that now he had to arouse the anger in her heart from time to time in order to make her continue to persevere, and he must not let go of this tone, otherwise it would be difficult for Doris to hold on.
…
Half an hour after Lied, Alaya, and Doris left, a group of demons arrived at the place where they had just stood.
The leader of the demon clan sniffed, glanced at the engraving on the tree, then circled around, picked up a pinch of salt from the ground and sniffed. Its eyes wandered back and forth several times on both sides, and said to a subordinate:
"You lead half of the people to chase after this white grain. The rest follow me and continue to chase the same way."
The subordinate frowned, pointed to the tree with the engraving, and said:
"Isn't it possible to perceive that there is at least one human being over there, and there is a high probability that the princess is also there."
The leader of the demon clan shook his head and said:
"Not necessarily. The aura of the elf princess is too weak for us to perceive, so we have no way of judging whether she is still following those two humans. Although what you said makes sense, you should also understand that even if only We dare not gamble on the chance of one in ten thousand. Since your lord has gone to Yuxi City in person, the affairs there should be sure; if the problem with this plan is ours in the end... "
It didn't finish, and there was a bit of fear in its eyes, more worry.
The man's face was also very ugly, he nodded and said:
"I see."
The leader of the Demon Race waved his hand, and suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, why haven't the two guys in charge of the backstop caught up yet?"
The demons looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't speak.
The leader of the demon clan snorted and said impatiently:
"Forget it. It's not important... In the entire demon clan, I'm afraid there is no one who dares to do anything to us [Heavenly King's Followers]. Maybe I just found some new clues and went to investigate alone. I don't have time to look back at them, so I will continue to stay." After the next two people are cut off, gather the wild demons as much as possible and let them scout for news. When you meet the generals under Amifals, just use the token to make them obey. Get all the available resources, be sure to Bring back the princess of the elves!"
