City of Dimlight

Chapter 111 Return

"It's finally over!" Larry wiped his sweat and felt weak - it seemed that the injury he suffered last time had greatly reduced his strength. Although there were still some eighth-level appearances, he really couldn't return to the past. It seemed that it would take time to fully recover.

"Woo-woo-" The Cyclops suddenly howled and scared everyone.

Mercenary Sean picked up the sword, jumped on his head, and suddenly inserted into the one-eyed sword! Still not dead! Still not dead!" He shouted wildly, "I'll kill you!" He kept cutting one knife after another, but the Cyclops did not move at all. It seemed that the howl was just a dying light. Several mercenaries came forward and hugged him, and one of them shouted, "Shout! Sean," they advised, "He's dead!"

Looking at the monster without any movement, Sean let go of his hand in vain and still fell to the ground with a long sword - he covered his face and cried bitterly, "Yin Ji, Gula..." The mercenaries present are all sad. These are people who were alive a few hours ago. Now who knows that they have become corpses, and some of them have not even been preserved.

All the mercenaries cried silently. Although everyone guessed that this task was difficult, they never expected this to happen here - more than 20 mercenaries have died, less than ten people left, and Garlock and Larry have been injured.

It's not the time to be sad at this time!

There was a echoing howling from the distance!

"Wow-wow-wow-"

The sound reached everyone's ears, which was undoubtedly like a death knell. A Cyclops destroyed half of the whole mercenary team. How about another one?

There was a howl, and it became more and more miserable - the sound began to move and quickly attacked the mercenary team.

"Get out of here!" Kozmo shouted, "You start to return, and I'll deal with him!"

"Good!" Bosk roared, "This is not the time to be sad - the enemy is coming soon! You lift up the injured brother and we will come back quickly!" He took the lead in helping Garlock and began to prepare to return.

"Yes!" The mercenaries began to clean up, and Sean stopped crying and helped up his comrades-in-arms beside him.

Looking at the mercenary leaving, Kozmo sneered. Humph," he pulled himself and rushed to the howling: "Let's see how powerful you are!"

※※※

The downhill is much closer than the way uphill - Bosk put down the rope directly from a cliff, sent the wounded down the mountain one by one, and then the mercenaries also returned to the seaside from here.

Just standing on the beach, there was a thunderous sound on the mountain.

"Uncle Larry, I don't know if Kozmo is in danger?" Bosk became nervous.

"He will be fine!" Larry is very sure: "The Cyclops are nothing more than *-level strength - even if he can't win, there is no problem in self-conserving!"

The battle broke out on the mountain and the battle was quite fierce. The rocks were flying and the trees were rolling around, and one howling resounded through the sky, but the last howling sounded tragic and painful. Larry smiled and thought that Kozmo had won the battle.

Half an hour later, Kozmo appeared from the cliff, with blood stains but still standing straight, like a long gun that never bends.

"Supbled," he jumped up from the cliff, gently on the two branches protruding from the mountain wall, and landed lightly in front of the crowd. His eyes showed deep fatigue, but they were still shining. Go back," he said to Larry, "There is no threat for the time being!"

"What about you?" Bosk interrupted and asked, "Is everything all right?"

He shook his head, "It's just too much power - just take two days off!" He turned around and told Larry, "I don't know how many monsters there are here. Be careful when you go back! I'll go first!"

This is the west coast of the island, far from where the ship is moored. After the expedition team saw Kozmo leave, they also began to leave. Although everyone's heart is still full of sadness, there are still countless enemies hidden in the dark in front of the task, and they can't relax.

After walking for an hour, the mercenaries came to the corner of the river bent to the left. Here, the river flows through a beautiful forest. Although it is winter, these trees still maintain their green color. Maybe there will be some food here," Bosk suggested, so after discussion, he decided to lead the two mercenaries into the deep forest to have a look.

The three scouts walked along the river bank in the deep grass. The river turned and flowed to the southwest, and then the upper riverbed gradually narrowed. The two sides were very high, and the branches on it were put together to form an arch. The left bank of the river is flat and swampy, and gradually rises gently inland. From here, it looks like a water network. Undoubtedly, the water goes straight from the underground spring to the river. There are also small streams in some bushes that can be crossed effortlessly. The other side of the river is more rugged, and a canyon where the river flows through is particularly prominent. A hill with layers of trees blocking the view like a curtain.

"Sad leader, there seems to be a lot of fruit there!" Another mercenary shouted.

Bosk looked at him. This is also an early mercenary named Haji, an archer with farsighted ability. Since Haji said yes, let's go and have a look!" Bosco said to Sean, "Look at it with your night eyes!" - but Sean stared blankly at the front without any movement.

Bosk looked cold: "Shaun! - Are you still going to be like this?" He roared, "Mercenary's life is originally a life-threatening crisis ahead. I don't know how many enemies there are - do you want others to die in front of you again?"

"Mean..." Sean wants to say something. But I feel bad!"

"Hit!" He continued, "Don't I feel sad that so many brothers have died? Don't I feel bad?" He patted Sean: "But the living still have to continue to live. In this dangerous place, you and I must be more careful!" While talking, Bosk's eyes were also a little red. You know, if we meet the enemy again, maybe all of us will be buried here!"

"Yes!" Sean and Haji replied at the same time. They looked at the regimental commander and suddenly understood, "I know I'm wrong," Sean said, "I must cheer up!" He began to observe with his night eyes - there was no life in front of him.

His night eyes and Haji's far-sighted ability did help Bosco - they found a large fruit forest from the woods, decorated with fruits and figs, and even many longevity fruits on the ground.

"It seems that this piece of fruit forest can solve our food problem!" Bosk shouted, "We can finally go back successfully!" There are many fruit trees, and more people must be gathered to collect them, and then preserved in their own way to prevent corruption.

The river is their direction. They just need to follow the river. More than an hour later, Bosk returned to Larry exhausted with two mercenaries.

Larry stood by the sea, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, staring at the sea without moving. The horizontal line of the east was covered with thick layers of dark clouds, which quickly expanded to the top of his head. The wind is already strong. As the color of the sea deepens, the night comes and the weather becomes colder. The sky presents a sinister scene, which can be clearly seen as the prelude to the storm.

Lary turned around and said, "It seems that we'd better go back now - the storm is coming!"

Bosk nodded.

The weather changed on the way back. A gust of wind blew from the southeast and blew across the seashore. The surging sea hit the reef, and the downpour was blown like dust by the storm. The shore was shrouded with a raised fog, and the gravel hit the coast under the pressure of the wind and waves, making a loud noise like a car falling out. The strong wind and flying sand added a kind of mineral dust to the smoke and dust caused by the rain, and the two forces converged to form an irresistible force. The whirlwind rotates between the estuary and the cliff, and the whirlpools beat the water between the canyons.

When they arrived at the side of the boat, there was no one beside the boat.

"Here!" An elf greeted them in the distance.

On the bank near the place where the boat was repaired, the violent vibration of the earth folded a large number of rocks, and a winding and wide cave formed between these tall rock piles, which can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

The elves have cleaned up the inside: some depressions have been divided into rooms, with branches and mud in the middle, dotted with vines; in the middle, a fire is burning, and everyone is surrounded and resting.

"What's wrong?" The mercenaries were covered with blood and scars. Elder Regis quickly arranged several elves to help send the injured mercenaries inside and sent elf priests to help them heal their wounds. What happened?" After all the arrangements had been arranged, the elder began to ask Bosk.

Watching everyone being sent to the room for treatment, Bosk sighed and told what happened.

"What? Cyclops?" Elder Regis said, "This kind of ancient heritage actually appeared on this island - it seems dangerous here!" He thought for a moment and arranged for two elves to guard at the door.

"Captain, how long will it take to fix it now?" The elder turned his head and asked the captain again.

Captain Niutou thought for a moment, "Your Excellency, it will take at least ten days to look at what it looks like now!" Several sailors also nodded, and one of them said, "The main reason is that the wood must be dried before it can be used. Ten days is the least!"

"It seems that we must be more careful!" Bosk picked up a wooden cake on the fire, "Tomorrow our mercenary regiment will put some traps around!"

"Good!" The elder said, "Let's see if we can use natural magic to hide this place!"

After the discussion, everyone spent the first night on the island with anxiety.
