Chapter 22 Message

"Puff...cough, cough..."

Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the dark and cold river. After a few violent coughs, the river rattled, and a tall and thin shadow poked out of the river.

"Fat, fat, where are you? Damn, cough, cough... fat man, fat man! Damn you, you can't do anything to me!"

In the dark night, Bill's voice was panicked and helpless. He was pushed down from the head of the city by the fat man. After drifting far away along the water, he saw the fat man, who was bathed in flames, jump down from the head of the city.

In the rapid flow of water, Bill couldn't stop his body to rescue the fat man at all. When he finally grabbed the grass on the shore and climbed to the shore, there was no way to find the fat man on the dark water.

A burst of night wind blew, and his cold and tired body knelt down weakly. Bill trembled with cold, but his eyes were extremely tenacious, and the flames of hatred burned in it: "Wait, wait, one day, I, Bill, will come back, no less, no less!"

Although the rapid water flow of the moat took the Maple Leaf City that Bill was far away from, it was still too close to Maple Leaf City after all. He searched around on the left, but in the end it was fruitless. Bill stood up and was about to leave through the night. Suddenly, his expression moved, and a faint voice came with the night wind.

He listened. After being convinced that the sound was not his own illusion, Bill's face showed joy. He continued to walk downstream along the river. Finally, in the silent night, the voice became clearer and clearer. Bill gradually changed from walking to running fast, with a childlike smile on his face.

"Fat, fat! I'm here, haha, little demon, how are you? I'm here!"

For the rest of his life after the disaster, even Bill, who had always been indifferent, showed his true temperament at this time, but the smile on his face quickly froze like ice. His body suddenly stagnated, and then ran forward like crazy.

Under the moonlight, the little demon's charming and delicate little face was full of tears at this time, while the fat man Zhang Biao lay quietly by the water, allowing the flowing river to cleanse his feet, and his whole body was dark, full of black and gray faces, and his eyes were closed and motionless.

"What's going on? How's the fat man? It's going to be fine. It's going to be okay!" Bill, who rushed over like crazy, couldn't take care of anything. He suddenly knelt beside the fat man, and the splashed mud wrapped his whole knee. He stared wide and stared at the little demon who had already cried into tears.

"Dead, uh... the master is dead! He is dead! Well... He died to protect me, well..." The little demon sobbed and could hardly speak.

Bill listened to her words and was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. Past scenes flashed in his mind, from the acquaintance and escape in the Red Axe caravan, to the difficult and dangerous journey in the magic forest, to everything that happened to the two in Maple Leaf City...

The fat man is his brother, and he is the first big fool to treat him, a rogue liar, as his life and death brother!

"Ah--" Bill looked up to the sky and howled sadly. His eyes were red, with endless sadness and hatred in his eyes.

"You can't die, you idiot! Can't die! You can't die for me!! Brother, my brother!!!"

Bill beat the fat man's body like crazy. He hit so hard that tears blurred his eyes. There was a "beep beep" in the sky, and the psychic Xiaofei also seemed to feel their sadness, hovering in the air, circle, circle, circle by circle...

"Cough...cough, it hurts, it hurts me so much. I have a grudge against you. I'm going to die... I'm going to whip the corpse even if I die."

Bill's body suddenly froze. He looked up at the little demon incredulously and found that the little demon was also covering his mouth at this time, with a face of shock and ecstasy.

The fat man's face was blackened by the fire, and he smiled with difficulty: "Big... Uncle, I'm not so easy to die. Just now, I just didn't catch my breath, poor... I was almost beaten back by your boy again."

Bill's face showed a giggle, and he said that it was okay, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing out of his eyes.

The little demon is not much better. His charming face has long been blurred by mud and tears. It was interesting to hear what the fat man said, "poof" and burst into tears, and in an instant he choked again.

The fat man really closed his breath just now. First, he was bombarded by the fire dragon, and then fell into the cold water. In addition, he was scalded all over his body and the side effects of being weak for a short time after using power gloves. After barely climbing to the shore, the fat man was confused and didn't know anything. If it hadn't been for Bill's random beatings, I'm afraid that the fat man would really suffocate and die at this time. Thanks to Bill's strokes, the fat man gasped smoothly. Although the pain was severe and his breathing was very weak at this time, he finally recovered.

It is close to the river, and the three people are afraid that a large number of soldiers will be dispatched out of the city to search. After making sure that the fat man is really okay, Bill and the little demon will take the fat man to escape in the direction of the magic forest.

The dark night will pass. When the first ray of sunshine sprinkles dust, the three fat men finally found a hidden foothold - an abandoned cave that once lived in beasts.

This is a hiding place near the hillside. For the sake of safety, Bill deliberately put a lot of shrubs and weeds outside the cave. At a glance, it is really difficult to find another cave here.

"You are lucky, thanks to this personal armor, otherwise even if you can jump off the moat, the burns on your body will be enough to kill you." Bill has regained his composure. His voice is cold, but the fat man can still hear care and warmth from it.

"You'd better not move at will these days. Although the burns on your arms and neck are not too serious, you won't recover in a few days." Bill spoke and looked at the little demon with a concerned face and said, "You should take more care of the fat man these days. Don't let him go out at will until his injury is healed."

The little demon nodded tightly, but the fat man frowned. Just as he was about to stand up, he didn't want to pull the wound and grinned.

The fat man took a breath of cold air and said hoarsely, "What about you? You seem to be leaving. Are you going back to Maple Leaf City?

Bill hesitated for a moment. Under the eyes of the fat man, he finally nodded: "Although we escaped, I'm worried that Uncle Wang has something to do. Anyway, I have to go back and have a look before I can feel at ease."

The fat man stared at Bill. The little demon didn't know what had happened. He looked at the fat man and then at Bill, biting his lips and was silent.

"Promise me... I'll wait for you to come back. Be careful." With a slight sigh, the fat man closed his eyes and did not look at Bill again.

Bill stared at the fat man and turned around and walked out.

"We are brothers. No matter what happens, we have to bear it together!" Near the outside of the cave, the fat man's voice sounded again. Bill stopped. Although he didn't look back, a smile appeared on his face: "I'll be back."

Bill walked out of the cave. Outside the cave, the sun was a little dazzling. He narrowed his eyes and walked towards Maple Leaf City after covering the cave with shrubs and weeds again and looking left and right without any abnormality.

After Bill left, the little demon withdrew his eyes and looked at the fat man with bright eyes: "Uncle Wang... should be all right?"

After a moment of silence, the fat man raised his head with a smile on his face: "Uncle Wang is lucky, it should be all right."

"That's good..." The little demon patted her chest. The fat man's words made her feel at ease. She shook her head and no longer thought about what she had. She carefully helped the fat man to lie down. In her eyes, there was only the fat man.

"It should be all right..." The fat man muttered to himself with words that only he could hear. His eyes subconsciously looked at the mouth of the hole, but his fist clenched tightly.

Bill came out of the cave. Along the way, he was very careful to hide himself. From afar, I can already see the outline of Maple Leaf City. Looking back at noon yesterday, I was still drunk with the fat man Uncle Wang. Now I think about it, but it is like another world. In a short night, there have been too many changes.

The sun is a little dazzling. Bill pressed down on the brim of his hat. His current clothes made of linen and the straw hat on his head are taken from the fat man's space ring. In the past, he used to joke that the fat man bought everything and put it on the ring. He put a lot of messy it. Now he sighs at the delicacy of the fat man's mind. Be prepared.

In Maple Leaf City, Bill will naturally not go at this time. Even if he wants to be closer to the city, the Maple Leaf City is empty, and there is no place to cover it. He goes suddenly. Not to mention inquiring about the news, it is lucky that he has not been caught.

The sun was in the sky, and Bill stayed on the edge of the magic forest for more than an hour. His eyes stared at the direction of Maple Leaf City from afar. Although it was a little strange why there was no half a figure passing by here today, he was very patient. Although he was anxious, he could wait here quietly.

After more than half an hour, several dilapidated carriages turned the purring wheels and slowly drove towards the magic forest from the direction of Maple Leaf City.

Bill saw the carriage coming from afar, but he was not in a hurry to appear immediately. As soon as his eyes turned, Bill turned around and got into the jungle and disappeared.

A convoy of several dilapidated carriages soon drove into the magic forest from the wilderness. Although the magic forest is dangerous, because of the need to go, a path has been opened up on the edge of the forest for pedestrians and caravans to walk around. On this path, there is generally no need to worry about it. What kind of monsters will you encounter? Even if you encounter them occasionally, there are still a few E-level monsters that have fallen alone, which is not dangerous for groups of human beings walking in the magic forest.

Although the path in this magical forest is rugged and difficult to walk, it is generally unimpeded. But this convoy of dilapidated carriages is not so lucky today. Not long after they entered the magic forest, they bumped into a big tree bent over on the road.

"What the hell! We are really lucky today. Get up quickly and don't sleep in. We're going to move this damn tree away. We've been delaying too much time in the city. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we won't get to the next town before dark.

The motorcade stopped, and just as they were busy moving away the trees that blocked the road, a somewhat indifferent voice sounded.

"Can I help you?" In the sun, a tall and thin man came from the depths of the forest. Although he wanted to help, his voice sounded really cold. Yadley, the leader of the motorcade, frowned at the person and didn't wait for him to say anything, but the man had helped lift the tree. Everyone shouted in unison, and the tree was lifted up and was soon moved to the side of the road.

"Thank you very much for your help. My name is Yadley. Are you an adventurer?" Adley stretched out his hand to the man. Under the brim of his hat, although the man looked cold, his eyes were still soft. Adley put down a trace of worry and his tone became sincere.

"Yes, I'm an adventurer. I want to go to Maple Leaf City. I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know what has changed in Maple Leaf City recently." As the man spoke, there was a slight smile on the corners of his mouth. Yadley hesitated, looked at the tree that had been moved to the roadside, and finally said, "You'd better not go to Maple Leaf City these days."

"Why?" The man's eyes condensed and stared at Adly. Adly's heart suddenly broke out and he secretly scolded himself for being in trouble. However, he could only bravely say, "The underground forces in Maple Leaf City have somehow offended His Royal Highness the eldest prince. The eldest prince was furious and ordered to suppress the leaders of the underground forces in the city. I'm afraid that the city will be very chaotic these two days. Even if we want to go out of the city, we have to go through heavy inspections. It's not until now that we can start on the road.

Hearing that the underground forces of Maple Leaf City clashed with the eldest prince Jade, Bill had a strange feeling in his heart. Before he could think about it, a driver in the motorcade said, "This brother, I advise you to listen to our team leader. Don't go to Maple Leaf City. Didn't you see it? The whole Maple Leaf City is People were panicked. Even at the head of the city, there was the body of an old prince's bodyguard. I heard that this bodyguard betrayed the eldest prince and the underground forces of Maple Leaf City. The eldest prince killed him in anger. He not only killed people, but also hung at the gate of the city in the sun. Even we who had nothing to do with it, we felt that My heart is chilling. I can't go back to Maple Leaf City in a short time. After this business, I will go somewhere else to wait for a few days. When this storm is over, it's not too late to go back to Maple Leaf City.

The talkative driver sighed about his future plans, but did not notice that the thin and tall man in front of him had already become extremely ugly.

"That bodyguard... Can you see what he looks like?"

The thin and tall man's tone was cold, and his straight body seemed to have a cold murder. Adley's heart jumped wildly, and his face was slightly discolored. However, the driver was headless and didn't notice anything. Instead, he said with relish, "I'm timid. I'm scared to death. How dare I look up and take a closer? It's just that I heard from the people next to me say that this bodyguard is not an ordinary bodyguard. It's a bodyguard. I don't know if that person is stupid. They are all bodyguards, and they also follow the eldest prince of the empire. However, they have to help those underground forces who have no eyes on their eyes. Hey hey, I think he should die..." /P>

"Hit!" With a cold shout, there was a flash of cold light in the sun. A cold dagger had been tightly attached to the driver's neck. The cold metal was so cold that a thin layer of goose bumps appeared on the driver's neck.

"Brother, I have something to say." Yadeli wanted to go up and stop it, but he was swept by the thin and cold eyes. He suddenly froze in place and dared not go forward.

"Big...Brother, don't, don't..." The driver turned his mouth happily just now, but he couldn't even say the whole sentence clearly. He was pressed against his neck by the cold dagger, as if Death held a sickle and smiled at him fiercely. He was really afraid in his heart. He didn't know whether it was cold or something. He stopped all over. I couldn't help trembling.

It was Bill who heard that the body of a bodyguard was exposed to the sun and his face changed greatly. He blocked the road with a big tree in order to listen to the news in the city. At this time, when he heard the bodyguard's experience, he was stunned and couldn't stop his hatred straight to his forehead.

Bill's eyes were cold, and he didn't look at the driver. He turned to Yadley and said, "How much do you know about the killed bodyguard?"

Adley looked at Bill, who had cold eyes. Although the rest of his team also gathered around at this time, his intuition still told him to do what the man in front of him said. He thought for a moment and said, "Lao Wang is right. The dead bodyguard is indeed a bodyguard. Although the elder prince's people say that he colluded with the underground forces to betray the eldest prince, I don't look like it very much. They seem to be very close to the body of the bodyguard. Even if it is hung at the gate and exposed to the sun, there are still many people around the body. They are in charge of guarding. They seem to be waiting for someone to appear. If I guess correctly, you should have something to do with the bodyguard.

"Smart people often know what to ask and what not to ask." Bill looked at Adley coldly and neither admitted nor denied it. He glanced at the driver who was so scared that he was almost softened and said lightly, "Your surname is Wang? One of my uncles is also surnamed Wang. Remember not to be disrespectful to the dead next time.

Bill withdrew the dagger. When he turned around, the people in the team were still staring around.

"Let him go." Adley said with a calm face, and the others did not dare to disobey. They just stared at Bill coldly, but still obeyed the order to get out of a path.

Bill looked back at Adley and didn't say thank you. In this way, he strode away without looking back, and disappeared into the dense jungle in an instant.

After Bill left, the driver, who had just been very scared, changed his expression and his eyes showed fierceness: "Brother, is that all?"

Yadeli's eyes narrowed slightly, he squinted at his brother, and sat back into the carriage: "Now it's not as before. We are more careful about everything. All right, don't worry about that man. Let's continue on the road.

The dilapidated motorcade continued to go on the road with a 'squeak' sound, but a chill flashed in Yadeli's eyes on the carriage: "Is he a friend of the bodyguard Wang Debiao? Humph, well, it's better for him to cause some trouble for that bastard prince. Maple Leaf City... One day, I, Lucas, will come back!"
