Chapter 93 Death is Coming
'Bah Bah La' The continuous heavy rain has been falling for three days, and when dawn breaks, it will be the fourth rainy day. Lotte played with the hourglass in her hand boredly by the light of a pile of fire in the cave. There are only two people left in their group of four. This is the seventh day of their group entering the Dattam Canyon, and the seventh day of their group of two.
Dorothy was leaning against the cave wall and sleeping soundly, while the teacher Jesse was sleeping further inside. Lotte looked at this big fat man Dorothy. Even though he was always swearing, he was very gentleman. He was busy with many things such as finding food, cooking, collecting firewood, and lighting fires. Basically, Lotte had never done it by herself. What's up.
Since entering the canyon, Bing Zhixie left without being with them the whole night. The next day, Bimoye went nowhere and never came back. Teacher Jesse was angry and worried about these two talented students who were number one in the school, but after looking for them for a long time, he couldn't find them. He didn't know if they had left the canyon or if something happened in the canyon.
Raindrops are like curtains at the entrance of the cave. This is a cave on a small rocky mountainside. Outside the cave is a very small bush, less than a foot tall. They had been hiding in this cave from the rain for two days. There were several bird's nests on the branches outside the entrance of the cave. They had stayed in this cave for two days without ever going out.
Dorothy turned over and sat up feeling uncomfortable sleeping.
Lotte said: "You just fell asleep not long ago, why did you get up again? Go to sleep."
"What a bastard, how can I sleep? These days I ate and slept, and I originally planned to lose weight this time, but I didn’t expect to lose weight, and I still feel fatter!” Dorothy took the hourglass, and only half of the sand was leaked out. Calculating the time, it should be just over three o'clock but not four o'clock. Dorothy said: "You go to sleep, I can't sleep. Damn, the weather should be damning!"
Jessie, who was sleeping on the ground, opened one eye, glanced at them, and fell asleep again. He didn't care how many days they had to stay in this cave, as long as they were in the Dattam Canyon. The content of the test was survival. Even if they stayed in the cave for a month, it was still survival.
Lotte shook her head: "I can't sleep either, so why don't we chat."
"Okay, what are we talking about?" Dorothy was of course happy that someone was willing to accompany her.
Lotte thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about professions. What profession do you think is the most powerful?"
"Magician! My favorite is magician." Dorothy was happy for a while, then lost and said: " It's a pity that my eight elemental talents are too mediocre, and none of them are outstanding, so I have to choose to be a knight."
"Mediocre? No, no, don't say that, it should be said that they are all balanced, right? Lotte smiled at him.
Dorothy smiled too.
Lotte added: "If it's balanced, many people would choose to be soldiers, why not you?"
"Damn." Dorothy shook her head and said, "My family said there is no future, so I won't let you." After thinking for a while, he said: "Let me tell you a secret. Don't tell it to me."
"What? "
Dorothy said: "My family was not a local noble at all. In my grandfather's time, my family was still a bandit. Later, our group of bandits became more and more troublesome, and the local army was involved. Several attempts to annihilate us failed. This incident alarmed the empire and sent a large army, but nothing happened. He didn't come to kill my grandfather and the others, but to recruit him to surrender. My grandfather knew that it was impossible for his brothers to escape the encirclement and attack by the army, so he had no choice but to surrender. As a result, he was recruited by the empire and sent to the front line to fight. Unexpectedly, he came to surrender. He also made a lot of contributions in the war, so he became a minor noble of the empire. Now my grandfather and the others became. What kind of bullshit bird official is there to show off his status as a lord? He thinks that being a robber in the past is a disgrace to his status, so his family will never mention it. "
Lotte covered her mouth and giggled. : "So you still have such an identity, no wonder you always use foul language."
Dorothy laughed loudly: "I learned this from my grandfather. He always thought of himself as a noble, but he couldn't change the bad words in his mouth. Those messy things came out of his mouth." The two people laughed and made a ball. , I heard the teacher’s snoring getting louder and louder, and then I quieted down.
"What about you? What do you want to do in the future?" Dorothy asked.
"In the future?" Lotte said: "Of course it is a magician. You are 15 years old, it is a little late to change to another school."
Dorothy said: "No , No, I mean what do you want to do in the future? Be a teacher, wander around like a mercenary, or do something else?”
"Oh, that's it." Lotte said: "I studied architecture in the college, so I want to work in this field. My dream is to design a palace as gorgeous as San Ijo Palace."
"Oh, it's quite... quite artistic, such a great building!" Dorothy sighed very much and suddenly asked Said: "What does the San Ijo Palace look like?"
"Uh..., you haven't seen it."
Dorothy laughed twice: "No, no, I don’t recognize him even if I’ve seen him before, haha, hahaha..."
Lotte also smiled: "You are very straightforward."
"Frank. Hahaha, I like this kind of comment." Dorothy said: "But there are times when I don't know how to pretend to understand. I don't want to be less knowledgeable than others about the things I like. Like the last time I bought weapons. I got a good gun, but I didn’t know how good it was, and I made a big fool of myself, but it didn’t matter, my grandma, once I made a fool of myself, I knew one thing, and after all, I made a damn profit. .”
"Haha, haha, you are so interesting. I know a man named Xiber. He obviously doesn't understand dragons, but he still pretends to be an expert on dragons. He treats Spinosaurus and Ironbacks as dragons. They are distant relatives of dragons," Lotte said. Originally, that person was the boyfriend introduced by my father, but later I found that I couldn't get along with him, so we broke up. Oh, wouldn't it be bad to say bad things about others behind their backs like this?" She covered her mouth mischievously, and then said secretly. laughed.
Dorothy was stunned and smiled warmly: "You look so cute."
The two of them talked about life and ideals until dawn. .
Jesse, who was lying in the cave, could not sleep. He suddenly remembered that if a man and a woman talked about life and ideals and had a happy conversation, then these two people would not be far from falling in love: "Being 14 or 5 years old is the time when boys and girls miss spring. I feel like a superfluous person in the cave. When will this damn rain stop?"
In the bushes below outside the cave, several giant frogs, lizards and snakes that were still moving became stiff and stayed there. After a while, they fell to the ground one by one, turning their bellies and died. Several monsters that were browsing in the rain looked at a cluster of red bushes coming from the other side in horror, and they all let out low roars, showing absolute hostility.
The animals and monsters that died next to them had no scars on their bodies, and they showed no symptoms of poisoning. A giant frog that was half exposed outside the red bush moved a few times, as if it was dragged in by something. It didn't take long for it to flow out with a few wisps of bright red under the flow of rain.
Not long after, a very strange monster came out and screamed like a hen crowing. The monster trembled in fright when it heard this cry. The fear in its eyes was hard to imagine that this was what the monster showed. Several agile monsters had already escaped from here quickly, and some were about to escape, but suddenly froze, just like the giant frog in the scene just now, as if it had lost its soul and was frozen in place. A winding lightning in the sky was like a roaring dragon. Amidst the roar, those monsters fell to the ground one by one and died immediately...
