Chapter 24 "What else can be lost?"

It happened to be dusk when they arrived at Parrot Island. Although it was delayed by two more days than planned, it was good that General Leot did not specify a clear deadline for completing the task.

Low shrubs and poplar trees can be seen everywhere, and desert roses are as red as blood in the sunset. There is also a small lake in the center of the oasis, and obviously there is an underground river flowing under it.

"Ema, look here." Meiji pointed to a wetland with not only some footprints, but also a few piles of horse manure. Obviously, someone passed by here not long ago.

Emma pointed to him far away.

Following the direction she pointed, Meiji found a bonfire on the other side of the small lake, and several figures shaking beside the bonfire.

The two looked at each other and began to dive into those people.

When they were about to approach them, the two stopped together. A purple light that ordinary people could not notice was disillusioned in front of their feet. Obviously, at least one of those people had set up a magic trap around them to guard.

However, for Megy, this magic trap is too low-level. He quietly made a gap on it by silently casting spells, and then passed through it with Emma.

They covered themselves with a clump of bushes and looked at the four people next to the bonfire.

One of the men with a long stick is obviously a magician with a gloomy face. The other three are similarly dressed, with gray headscarves embroidered with blood wolf logo on their heads, light leather armor, and machetes at their waists. This machete is the favorite weapon used by desert thieves. It is sharp, fast and easy to cut. One of them is older than others, with a hooked nose and sharp eyes.

There is a night antelope roasting on the bonfire, and there are three horses tied next to it.

"What bad luck," a sand thief complained, "Other people are still drinking and meat in the nest, but we have to come here in advance to suffer."

"There's nothing to complain about," the older sand thief said lightly. "We just need to stay here for a few days. We don't have to follow the boss to attack the business travelers at Guai's passed. It's much less risk."

"I'd rather kill a game happily and get more things."

"In a few years, you won't think so." The eagle hooked his nose and said.

The sand thief sneered. He turned his head to the magician beside him: "What do you think?"

The magician stared at the almost roasted antelope: "I have no problem."

"What's your problem?"

"I have no problem with anything."

"Are all magical people so strange?" The sand thief looked at the others discontentedly.

The other two laughed.

At this time, Megji and Emma behind the bush looked at each other. Now, it has been confirmed that these people are indeed from the sand thieves called "blood wolves", and it seems that they are just outposts. Behind them, the "blood wolves" must be preparing for a large-scale loot.

However, although it is possible to determine the date of the attack on Guai'ai's reach is these days, it is not accurate enough.

"Two for each person." Meiji whispered to Emma.

Emma sneered and touched the black necklace on her neck. "Tannis" and "Caremon" suddenly appeared and rushed directly to the four guys. The magician and the eagle hook nose reacted the fastest. The eagle hook nose pulled out the machete and cut it on "Tannis". However, for the statue, that level of force could not destroy it at all. Soon, "Tannis" knocked him unconscious with a sword. The magician quickly opened a shadow door and wanted to leave the battlefield. However, a skeleton suddenly emerged from the ground and directly hugged his foot. Soon he was knocked unconscious by Karamon.

The remaining two guys reacted significantly by half a beat. When they pulled out the machete, Emma had already rushed over, rolled the bone whip, and handed over their weapons in three or two strokes.

Mage stood up speechlessly. After a while, Emma subdued these four guys. It's really cool.

The rest was easier to deal with. The three sand thieves were hanged by Emma, and the magician was killed directly by her. In her words, although the magician's level is obviously not enough, magic is always troublesome. It's better to kill him directly than to guard him.

Meji simply left the interrogation to Emma. Anyway, she looks like the kind of guy who not only doesn't care about the things like torturing prisoners, but also have a lot of pleasure.

The older eagle hooked his nose very well. The other two young people wanted to bluff a few times at the beginning, but they were killed by Emma, and the other immediately obeyed.

Meggie had to admit that she would have been scared if she had broken other people's necks without blinking her eyes.

Emma separated them for interrogation and quickly figured out what she wanted to know.

Two days later, 400 sand thieves led by Galen, the deputy head of the Blood Wolf, will pass by and attack several teams of business travelers who are about to leave the Guai Pass. They have figured out the departure time of these business trips and the goods they have brought. Obviously, the value of those goods is enough to move them.

And the reason why these four people were sent to stay here is only out of the usual cautious practice of the "blood wolf" and completely prevent it. They will send people to contact the outpost in advance when they pass by here to ensure safety before passing through here.

Be careful and run away as soon as the wind blows. This is an important law for the survival of sand thieves.

After asking, Emma asked Karamon to punch the eagle's nose and the remaining sand thief one by knocking them unconscious.

"What should I do now?" Meiji asked.

"The sand thief will pass by here tomorrow night. Even if the princess sends a knights here to ambush now, it must be too late." Emma thought, "But it is conceivable that the route they take must be similar to ours. First, quickly through the salt marsh, and then dive to the vicinity of the Guai Pass with the Churfengs Mountains. As long as you go back and tell the princess the situation immediately, she and General Leot will definitely be able to grasp the ambush point.

"However, these people have been caught by us," Meiji began to regret their recklessness. "If the blood wolf finds something wrong when it passes by here, it will definitely retreat immediately..."

"Don't be afraid of this." Emma sneered, waved the bone whip, and the body of the dead magician and another sand thief suddenly stood up. She turned her head and looked at the unconscious eagle hooked her nose. "I will let the two living guys explain everything and threaten them to send a safe signal to the person they contact. Sand thieves originally passed by here at night, and the reason why they sent people to stay here is just for prevention, and they don't really think that someone can find this place. I will let them not find any problems."

But this means leaving Emma here alone.

Meggie thought for a moment and suddenly ran to an open space and began to draw something on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Emma frowned.

"I also draw a remote transmission array here," Meiji told her. "Go back to White Sand Fort and tell Sofia about the situation here, and I will send it back immediately and stay here with you."

Emma was quiet. At this time, she felt a little wet on her feet and looked down. The wound caused by the "blood curse" began to appear again, and she quickly turned away.

"Where are you going?" Meiji looked back at her in astonishment.

"It's none of your business." Emma answered without looking back.

Why did you get angry again? Meiji felt puzzled. Since the push was pushed instead, the two have been extremely "close". This morning, the two also did a crazy job, probably to compensate for the crime she suffered by her last time. This time Emma cooperated very much. Even when Meiji joked her and asked her to put on a pose that would make women feel insulted, she didn't refuse, and even threw him an abnormal one with a sense of danger. Charming eyes.

However, despite this, Megji still felt that she was hiding something.

It's a heavy thing...

Although I don't know what's going on, Megsy is really worried about her.

......

On the other side, Emma rolled up her trousers in the moonlight. The crescent-shaped wound kept transmitting strange black silk around, and red blood flowed along her calves, making her feel dizzy because of mild blood loss.

Maybe it's a good idea to hang out with Meji.

But it's too late.

Once you step on some roads, you can never go back.

She has embarked on a road that cannot be turned back.

Suddenly, her ears seemed to hear a grin. She looked around doubtfully.

The desert roses swayed in the wind, and the low poplars shook the shadow. The clear small lake flashed, reflecting a semicircular moon.

Other than that, there is no other movement...

*

The magic array has been finished. Meiji opened the remote portal to the White Sand Castle.

"Do you want to go back with me first?" He looked back at Emma. Since there is a teleportation array, they can go back together and then come back together.

Emma shook her head. I don't know if it's an illusion, Meiji feels that her skin has become whiter, and even inexplicably scattered a faint layer of fluorescence. Meiji looked at her doubtfully and was not sure whether it was just the effect of the moonlight.

Emma slowly moved over and stretched out to hold him. In her eyes, there seemed to be some kind of reluctant reluctance and helpless sigh. This complex emotion appeared in her eyes, making Megji feel like she had changed.

"You wait for me here. I'll be back soon." He reminded carefully.

"Hmm." Emma seemed to have become a good girl, but nodded quietly.

What's going on? Meiji couldn't help sticking his hand out of the dimension bag. He doubted whether the girl had found the magic potion "maid" he put in and secretly drank it.

Of course, the potion is still there.

He waved to the girl and stepped into the portal.

Emma looked at the portal composed of disillusioned light and shadow and sighed silently.

"Aren't you going to wait for him?" A voice sounded around her, crisp and pleasant.

That's a little fairy.

Of course, she is the one who laughed in her ear just now! Emma turned her head coldly and looked at her.

The little fairy looked at the girl's feet covered by trousers and circled around. There are still some dark red blood stains left there, but unfortunately the fool Meggie didn't notice.

"Aren't you going with him?" Emma glanced faintly at the portal that had not yet closed.

"I'll be right there," the little fairy replied, "but before that, I want to say a few words to you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Why don't you give him a chance?" The little fairy looked at her quietly, "Maybe it's also a chance for you."

Emma sneered and lifted her trousers, where the crescent wound had disappeared: "Of course you can see what happened to me..."

"Of course," said the little fairy, "I'm a great little fairy!"

"So, do you think I can stay?"

"Of course not," the little fairy shook her head. "Once the best time is missed, the danger of transformation will increase greatly. I have seen many guys who have immortality because of ritual mistakes, but their IQ has become similar to that of idiots. For this kind of guy, the blood clan's practice is to throw them in the wilderness and let them die. However, what I want to say is, why don't you give Meji a chance?"

Emma frowned puzzledly.

"Give him a chance," the little fairy looked at her seriously, "to see how much that boy can do for you."

Let's see how much he can do for me? Emma is moved.

"Do you think..." She hesitated for a moment, "Will he risk his life for me?"

"Try it. Anyway, what else can you lose?"
