Hello, Arknights
Chapter 98: Encounter in the Canyon
The temperature began to warm up, and the tender green was the first to smell the scent. It subconsciously stretched and made a gesture of poking its head out, but when it realized something was wrong, it shrank back into the embrace of Mother Earth, until the real warmth settled on the earth.
Then the Yanyun grassland once again welcomed the green color.
The grassland was not completely flat. In front of the Rupert girl who was fleeing in panic on the purple wolf was a canyon.
Wait, is there anyone?
The girl's hair color was the same as her mount's, a beautiful lavender. Of course, this was not her most prominent physical feature. The most eye-catching thing was the long, fluffy tail behind her.
But now she was covered in dust and looked very miserable, and her companion was also injured. She coughed lightly and looked back to find that the threat was still chasing her, so she had to put her hope on the canyon ahead.
"Please, we are far away from the water source, stop chasing!" The girl prayed silently, while the group of claw beasts behind her was rushing towards her. There were not too many of them, but it was obviously not enough for her to handle.
She really didn't know how she had offended these claw beasts. Probably every Scourge Messenger would encounter one or two such unfortunate things, but if they could survive it would be a joke, and if they couldn't survive it would be a tragedy.
"Mr. Grape, I'm counting on you!" The purple wolf ran against the wind and suddenly showed a hesitant look. However, the claw beast behind him didn't seem to be someone he could sit down and talk with, so he had to bite the bullet and rush into the canyon.
I hope we won’t encounter a bad situation with wolves in front and tigers behind.
The swaying grass leaves in the canyon welcomed a new batch of tourists, but these "tourists" probably didn't have the heart to stroll around and enjoy the leisurely scenery for the time being. The noise of two fleeing and a group chasing soon spread throughout the small canyon, especially the fangs and claws of a large group of pincer beasts, which made many local small animals quickly retreat to their nests to avoid misunderstandings and get hurt.
"Mr. Grape?" The purple wolf slowly slowed down, staggered and fell to the ground with the last step. Miss Rupert looked down and found that his injuries had worsened and he really couldn't run anymore.
"What should I do... There is no rescue station here and the medicine I brought is not enough to treat your wounds..." The girl was so anxious that she jumped off the wolf's back and almost forgot that there was a group of claw beasts behind her.
"It's over..." The Scourge Messenger looked at the group of approaching claw beasts and no longer had much confidence in the crossbow in his hand.
The purple wolf wanted to stand up again to protect her from some damage, but unfortunately it failed. Its injured claws could hardly feel the roughness of the ground. The Lupo girl took a deep breath, raised her crossbow and aimed at the threat in front of her, calculating the timing of the attack.
The claw beast seemed to sense the threat, or perhaps it just slowed down its pace out of caution, slowly tightening the encirclement. Its gleaming claws looked very scary in the current situation.
The Scourge Messenger's nerves were tense. In fact, at this moment she still hoped to scare off the claw beasts so that she wouldn't have to fight with them. After all, the number of them... was indeed a bit difficult for her.
There are far fewer plants in the canyon. Even if it is a small canyon, the reduction in light has a great impact on the distribution of plants.
Therefore, when a person suddenly fell from the rock wall more than ten meters high, both the man and the beast were frightened. The string in the girl's hand subconsciously loosened, and it shot out with a "bang".
Well, the person who fell was unlucky and was "taken care of" by this arrow.
"Gao Fei!" The man obviously didn't expect to encounter an arrow after falling off a cliff. Fortunately, he had a way to deal with it when he landed.
A wave of white flame wrapped around his arm. He blocked the arrow with his backhand, then turned over and the white flame rolled out from the landing point like cotton, effectively dissolving the impact force and allowing the attacker to land steadily.
The girl, Lupo, felt very sorry, but before she could say anything to remind them, the stimulated claw beasts turned around and rushed forward, ready to tear the uninvited guest into pieces. The girl only heard a large sound of friction between scales and the man was about to be drowned.
The fastest claw beast had already jumped up. The crustacean, as big as three basketballs, rushed towards the face, which might give some people with less courage nightmares for a while.
The Lupo girl knew that maybe he could handle one or two or more of the claw beasts, but there was another group behind them...she didn't dare to think about what would happen.
How about taking this opportunity to escape?
A thought that would never occur to her normally came to her mind, and she was shocked: "What am I thinking about? Not only him, but Mr. Grape can't leave either!"
While the people here were still feeling uncomfortable because of the abnormal thoughts, the people on the other side faced the sudden attack and caught the first pincer beast with one hand and pressed it to the ground. The pincer beast was still struggling desperately, but suddenly realized that there was a familiar breath, and carefully distinguished... the next moment the pincer beast let out a terrified scream.
This cry confused both of them, and the surrounding claw beasts that tried to pounce on them immediately retreated several meters in panic. The sound of shells colliding continued, as if a crowd was nervously discussing a terrible urban legend.
In their territory, they have always lived a comfortable life day after day, eating, resting, hunting, and reproducing. There were no unexpected things until recently, when the number of their kind around them decreased significantly.
It’s not that it affects the reproduction of the population, the number cannot keep up, but it’s mainly because this time their counterparts disappeared in batches.
They don't know what the new predator is, they just know it leaves a unique scent, different from that of their other natural enemies.
And now, this new predator seems to have appeared.
After the initial panic, they quickly overcame their fear of predators and once again formed a circle to eliminate the threat.
"This number... is really troublesome. What we hunted last time was enough to last us for a while. We should not continue to deepen the hatred with them..." A drop of sweat appeared on the man's forehead. He then let go of the claw beast and put it back into the tribe. Then he looked up and shouted: "Chi Yu! Help me, there are other people here!"
He noticed the source of the crossbow early on and did not blame her. Anyone could have accidentally fired the arrow in this situation. He just happened to be unlucky. The other party then sent out a distress signal.
A few stones fell from the rock wall, and then a blue-black black wolf jumped down and stood behind him, intimidating the claw beasts that wanted to move forward. Then the man and the beast decisively broke through the encirclement and ran straight to the Rupert girl. The black wolf carried the black wolf, and the young man stretched out his hand to the Rupert girl.
The latter subconsciously grabbed it, and then was picked up by the other party and started to speed up.
"Hey wait! I'm not injured and can run away by myself--" Before she could finish her words, the group of claw beasts behind her became agitated again, scaring the girl so much that she tensed up.
"Sister, don't be nervous! Put your tail down, I can't see the road clearly!" The young man said he would put her down immediately.
Yes, this is Ling Dengxian, a man who has lost his sense of direction and is still looking for Longmen.
