It was an Ao dog, completely black except for a tuft of white hair on its chest.
Its body is extremely strong and can hold up almost two wild wolves. It has a broad skull, thick bones, and bulging muscles. It looks a bit like a modern Castro.
A standard large bulldog.
The moment the black dog showed its head, Miss Rabbit was startled, and she hurriedly pulled out the ruby knife from her waist.
However, the knife that was less than a foot long obviously did not bring her much sense of security, so the girl turned her attention to Li Yu who was aside.
I winked at the latter and said, aren't you a prophet? Tell your boss to take action on Saturday and send a miracle or something to drive away this dog.
However, Li Yu seemed to have not seen him. After a while, he just took off his black suit and put it on the girl's shoulders.
He noticed that a ring of hair on the black dog's neck had lost more hair than other places. This was usually caused by wearing a collar, which meant that it was a hound with an owner.
But this is not necessarily good news for the two of them.
After a while, Miss Rabbit heard a voice coming from the woods behind the bushes.
"Black Beauty, come back!"
Upon hearing this, the Ao dog immediately abandoned the two people beside the fire, turned around and ran into the bushes again.
When it came back, it was following a man.
"Good evening you two, where are you going?"
"The Scaled City."
Miss Rabbit has not forgotten why she fled Rock Snow City in a hurry. In addition, the huntress just taught her a lesson. She is now extremely wary of strangers she encounters in the wild.
I randomly reported the name of the place and wanted to send the person in front of me away. Unexpectedly, the latter said in surprise, "Duo Lin City? I happen to be planning to go to Duo Lin City. Why don't we go together? More people can have more safety.
Well."
After speaking, without waiting for Ilea and Li Yu to reply, he had already walked to the fire, sat down, and then took off the hood on his head, revealing the face underneath.
The girl was stunned for a moment after seeing that face, and then subconsciously leaned towards Li Yu's direction.
"I'm sorry for scaring you, but I'm not a bad person. This half of my face was chewed up by a bear. The beast attacked me from behind while I was getting water from the stream, pushed me to the ground, and gave me a mouthful.
It bit me on the right side of my face, and half of my cheek disappeared.
"It was Black Beauty who saved me at the critical moment. She pounced on the big bear regardless of her own safety. By barking and biting and harassing, she attracted the attention of the beast and gave me a chance to escape.
"Since then, I have sworn that as long as Jude, who is half my face, has a mouthful of food, my good dog will never go hungry."
After saying this, Jude took out a piece of dried meat made from unknown animal meat from his luggage and threw it to the black beauty aside.
The latter couldn't wait to pounce on it and swallowed the dried meat in one bite.
Jude reached out and stroked the hound's head while looking up at Li Yu and Ilea.
"No matter where I go because of this noble appearance, no matter how careful I am, I will always get into trouble. Because of this, I had to go to the Dormantic City alone on the wild road.
"Why do you two have to sleep in the wilderness instead of walking on a good road?" However, he apologized again before the other party could speak.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be nosy. It's just that I have been keeping company with wild beasts and flies these past few days. It's rare that I meet a few people I can talk to, so I can't control my mouth again."
Ilea and Li Yu looked at each other, and then said, "Uh... we got into some trouble. The harvest of the crops was not good before, so we went to the lord to borrow some money for emergency purposes. Unexpectedly, the fields would be poor next year.
We suffered another disaster, we still couldn't pay, and we didn't want to sell ourselves into slavery, so we had no choice but to flee to the City of Dolin to join a distant relative."
"Really? Then I wish you good luck."
He glanced at the girl with a half-smile, but he didn't dwell on the issue anymore. He cooked some beans over the campfire, filled his stomach with bread, and then lay down early.
And his big black dog was lying quietly beside him.
It didn't take long before Jude was snoring loudly, and Miss Rabbit sneakily touched Li Yu's side again, lowering her voice and saying, "Hey, do you think he is the killer brought by my stepmother?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Then what should we do? Should we strike first and knock him out?" The girl kept peeking at the big black dog. "Well... we have to find a way to separate him from his dog first."
"It's better not to act rashly for the time being," Li Yu said. "The lies you made up before are so bad. Anyone who is not blind can tell that we are not farmers because of our clothes, skin color and behavior.
"And since he knows that there is a problem with our identity, and this is a wild place where it is difficult to bump into other people, he still dares to sleep so peacefully. Either he is not really asleep, or he is asleep but not worried at all.
We will take action against him, and no matter which of these two possibilities it is, it means that he is difficult to deal with."
"Then let's just leave it alone. What if after we fall asleep at night, he..." Miss Rabbit made a gesture of wiping her neck, and her expression became more and more nervous, "Have you noticed his right waist?
Under the cloak, a small piece protruded.
"Just now when he was squatting there teasing his dog, I saw it. There was an ax hidden there! Forget about losing the money and luggage, I didn't want to wake up the next morning and find that my head was also missing.
.”
"I understand," Li Yu said, "You can rest assured, I will help you keep watch."
He slept well in his own bed in the rental house last night. He was in good spirits when he started working and didn't feel sleepy at all. In addition, it was normal for him to work overtime at his previous jobs. Li Yu also had good experience in staying up late.
Being on guard for one night is no big deal.
Ilea looked at Li Yu's arms and legs, then at the half-face lying not far away, as well as his strong hound, and let out a faint sigh.
But in the end, he still grabbed the suit and lay down next to Li Yu.
Miss Rabbit muttered something, probably praying to the Silver Moon Goddess. It looked like a week before the final exam, a group of students were burning the midnight oil in the dormitory corridor, full of desire for survival.
On the other hand, Li Yu just sat by the fire and said nothing.
Ilea didn't know what the self-proclaimed prophet was thinking at the moment, but seeing that Li Yu was as calm as ever, without any panic, she felt a little relieved that she had been talking about it in her throat.
After praying to the Silver Moon Goddess, she held the necklace on her chest and silently called out the names of her ancestors, praying for protection. However, unfortunately, there was still no response from the ancient spirit inhabiting it.
Maybe she should try that Saturday again? After all, saving her life is important. Even if the Silver Moon Goddess knew about it, she wouldn't blame her. The girl just closed her eyes in random thoughts.
Although she was still worried that her head would move, Ilea's life had not been easy at all these past few days. As soon as she relaxed a little, she felt tired one after another.
Just when she was dazed and about to fall asleep, the earth suddenly shook.
It's a horse's hoof! A rider is approaching here!!!
