Remembering the Gray Snow Record at the End of the Year Alexander's Memoirs - The Trailblazers Chapter 5 Gouging out your own flesh, the storm is about to come
Alexander's Memoirs - The Trailblazers Chapter 5 Gouging out your own flesh, the storm is about to come
The wind began to get stronger, and the woods roared. The three of them and one wolf found a position and waited nearby, and then Nori huffed and started digging.
Not long after, the sky got dark and it began to rain lightly. However, due to the cover of the leaves, a few people did not get wet.
When Nolly buried the blood-stained soil halfway, Susie howled toward the lake a few times, and then bit Nolly's trouser legs.
"Huh?" She turned back and looked in the direction of Susie, but she didn't see anything because of the rain. So she bent down and started to comfort Susie, planning to continue working.
But Alexander only felt a chill in his back and squinted his eyes in the direction of Susie's howling.
Unlike Noli, Alexander has very good eyesight. Scanning back and forth, she caught a figure under a tree where the river flows into the lake!
It wasn't just the distance and the rain - Alexander's eyes were a little sore from staring for a long time, and as a result, he couldn't see the figure after blinking.
After comforting Susie, Nolly kept moving her hands and dug a few more shovels.
She whispered: "Everyone, I just seemed to have remembered something. If the creator of the blood stain is really human, he might be some kind of unclean creature."
"Unholy creatures?" Alexander endured the pain and recalled his memories of such creatures but could not remember anything.
She frowned and put the arrow on the string, carefully approaching the direction where the figure last appeared. "Noli, don't dig now. Enter combat mode. Let's go over and take a look."
"I guess you want to say undead?" This term existed in Freya's mind. She held two throwing knives and followed Alexander.
"I don't know, it must be evil or something. But do you still want to go? Bows and arrows will be inaccurate in this weather." Noli threw away the shovel in her hand.
"Anyway, look at the traces. If you want to hit the opponent, he should have already rushed up." Alexander slowed down and waited for others to catch up.
"So if there isn't any deeper plan, at least it doesn't want to get close to us now?" Noli took off her coat and covered Susie's back, then took out her big sword and quickened her pace to follow.
Taking a closer look, there were only a series of trampled marks of humanoid creatures that had been blurred by the rain, but Alexander could barely tell that they were shoe prints rather than paw prints.
Traces of movement extended upstream along the river, but were soon washed away by increasingly heavy rain.
Seeing this, the few people could only hide from the rain under the tree and return to the previous place. After hastily finishing the remaining work, they walked towards the camp.
When Alexander was approaching the camp, he told them not to worry. He had to leave halfway, and then walked into the bushes.
Even if Sherlock is here, he can't say stupid things about this situation. After all, there is only one male among the adventurers - haha, this is really strange.
After entering the camp, the two saw Sherlock finding a thick tree and sitting on the roots to rest. A shelter was built where the campfire was.
Noli entered the awning and found the technician who was dealing with the giant python: "Has it been confirmed that there is no problem with the snake we brought back? In every sense..."
"It's not poisonous, and there are no parasites. It's just a pity that the snake gallbladder..." The technician's words stopped abruptly - he had just cut open the snake's belly, and there was half a human corpse inside, the upper body, which had been corroded by gastric juice.
Very powerful.
Freya retched and turned her head away. She was not used to this kind of scene, so she walked towards the carriage and planned to take a rest.
Noli was fine. She wondered if she had seen a similar scene before. As a wolf, Susie had no feelings about this scene and was still lying lazily at her master's feet.
I wonder if Sherlock, who was lazing around, would still have the appetite to eat if he saw this scene.
Several people saw Alexander running back in the rain while covering his wound with a shoulder bag.
After arriving at the edge of the camp, Alexander slowed down, hung his shoulder bag on the pole of the awning, and then glanced at the camp.
Now only the interior of the carriage is completely waterproof, and other parts are more or less leaking, including the newly built rain shelter.
"We have gained something. How is the situation here in the camp?" Alexander walked towards the captain's carriage, covering the rain with his hands.
The captain was writing and drawing on the map in the carriage. Perhaps because of the sound of rain, he did not notice that Alexander, who was speaking in the center of the camp, was speaking to him.
Alexander stuck his head out to look at the map and found that the old man had added marks to the terrain map he had just drawn, but this was of little help to the adventurers.
"Captain, can you pause for a moment? I may need to finish today's report as soon as possible and then go to rest. I have to get up at night to keep vigil."
"Huh? Just let the soldiers keep watch. What, is there any new threat?" The captain raised his head, and then looked at Alexander's wounds seriously.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a minor injury. Let me briefly report what happened this afternoon." Alexander began to tell: "This afternoon, we returned to the lake and walked along the lake to the heights of the lake before cleaning up the traces. Here we go.
At that time, we found blood stains near the forest nearby."
"After a closer inspection, we found that the amount of bleeding was abnormally large. A brown bear could not shed that much blood. We also saw a human footprint."
"You mean, there really is someone here, right?" The captain revealed a hint of worry.
Alexander did not answer the question for the time being and continued: "We immediately followed to find out what was going on. After wandering through the forest for more than an hour, we found a huge group of blood-red thorns, and traces passed through the thorns.
, and when I came closer to inspect it, I was attacked by the spines that suddenly moved."
"We had no way to get through the thorns, so we had to evacuate first. When we returned to the place where the snakes were killed, a quarter of an hour away from the camp, I found that we were being followed."
"When I checked the tracker's footprints, I found that it was not the same person as the one we were tracking in the afternoon. But the shoes the person wore were very similar to Freya's. I judged that it might be the pioneer team that arrived before us. On the way back, I borrowed
In the name of convenience, I plan to stay alone to negotiate."
"After they walked away, the other party left a message for me, asking me to negotiate at the same time tomorrow." Alexander recalled the strange scene before.
The red-eyed crow stared at Alexander, fluttering its wings and taking off the moment she shot the arrow, and the paper ball left on the branch fell.
Alexander quickly caught the muddy water to prevent it from getting on the ground. He opened it and read: "Are you interested in making a deal? My bargaining chip is to exchange for a way to retrieve your memory. If you are willing, come back at this time tomorrow. My devil
Chong will give you my instructions." As soon as she finished reading, the note spontaneously ignited and burned at an unnatural speed.
Noli swung her sword to dig a small hole, diverted part of the water from the stream, and then cut off the small tributary.
Afterwards, Susie was grabbed by the waist and placed in a puddle to wash her paws.
Freya looked at the stream and originally wanted to confirm that there was no problem before putting her legs in and letting the water take away the blood. But seeing Noli's actions, she walked to the lake, picked up a handful of water, and moved her legs away from the lake.
Click to start cleaning.
After finishing cleaning, Freya stood up and saw Alexander checking the serious wound on her body: "It's too bad, the flesh and blood must be scraped off..."
Seeing this, Freya showed the adamantine flying knife in her hand and said, "Alexander, do you need... help?"
Alexander frowned and replied, "It's very necessary. I can't endure the pain and dig out my own flesh."
"I think it's better to go back to the camp and let the professionals handle it..." The loud sound in Sherlock's stomach betrayed his idea.
Alexander and Freya began to collect some dry firewood and fallen leaves nearby, and then lit a small fire with flint, which was perfect for heating the knife.
"I'll cut off the most infected part first, wash it with water and then ask a doctor for treatment. Is this okay?" Freya put the knife into the fire until it turned slightly red.
"That's what I planned." Alexander rolled up his sleeves and bit an arrow shaft. Then he squatted by the fire and waited for Freya to take action.
"That snake...couldn't it also have these things?" After confirming that Susie's wounds seemed to be fine, Noli moved closer to the two of them and observed Freya's movements.
"Be patient..." Freya felt as if she was familiar with this kind of treatment, but she still concentrated on completing it with all her strength.
In fact, it went very smoothly. Freya made sure to remove all the problematic flesh and blood before she put away the knife. "Sorry... I don't have that kind of painkiller." Freya remembered this important matter, but she remembered that she had
There is no such thing. Maybe you can entrust a technician who is familiar with herbal medicine to make painkillers.
Alexander bit the arrow shaft and watched as Freya used a sterilized knife to carve out the flesh bit by bit. But thinking of the possible consequences, she breathed a long sigh of relief after enduring this level of pain.
Then Alexander let go of the arrow in his mouth, trembled a few times, and finally asked Freya to help take out a chest wrap from the change of clothes in the backpack and bandage it briefly.
Alexander wrapped it with one hand and said, "Thank you."
Was Freya a doctor before? Then, a big sword. What did I do before becoming an adventurer? Nori threw the unnecessary thoughts out of her mind and looked at Sherlock who was doing nothing. At least it was better than that, right?
.
At this time, an idea appeared in her mind. If a monster could cause such a amount of bleeding, it would be either a huge beast or an unclean creature. As for what the unclean creature was, Noli could not remember.
I just remember this vocabulary. After excluding the former point, it is probably the latter one.
Alexander stood up, slowly put the arrow on his bow again, and kicked some sand on the fire to cover it up. Then he walked along the lake again to the higher ground of the lake, while keeping an eye on the surrounding area.
To be honest, Alexander is very strong-willed. Even if she didn't faint, she also stayed awake throughout the whole process. It's really respectable that she was still vigilant and taking the lead even though she was so seriously injured.
Dusk had arrived, and Noli followed Alexander's footsteps. First, she scanned the trees by the lake to see if there were any fruits. Then she looked to see if there were any living creatures in the lake.
If there is no Noli, I feel that I should hurry up and prepare to go back. Darkness is definitely not a sign of safety.
A gust of wind blew by. After being on guard for a long time and not seeing any danger, Alexander raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, but there was a large dark cloud in the distance.
Looking at the wind speed and direction, I guess that the cumulonimbus clouds will start weeping soon.
Considering the thickness of the clouds, the amount of rainfall this time should not be heavy, but it may last for several days.
Of course she didn't know that this was regular rainfall within the normal climate range in the rainforest.
Alexander's brows furrowed: "I'm really unlucky today. It will probably rain soon."
After walking a few more steps to the high ground, she was about to take a quick glance and flee: "At least we don't have to worry about the traces we left. The rain will probably help us deal with it."
It's a pity that Noli has not found any living creatures or fruits until now. Then she quickly followed Alexander who insisted on going. After all, she was seriously injured.
Standing on the high ground overlooking the lake, Alexander looked to see if he could see anything in the lake, and whether there were any nests of aquatic birds, snakes or amphibians near the lake.
Standing on this small slope and looking from a distance, there are no birds playing in the winding, many-forked river connected to the other end of the lake.
The lake is quite deep, and there are a few sporadic bird nests on both sides of the river. If you plan to hunt them for food, it will definitely not be enough. It is okay to make an occasional tooth sacrifice: "I saw a few bird nests. Let's dig out a few eggs before leaving. Pay attention."
Don’t empty out the nests, just leave two in each nest.”
After Alexander finished speaking, Noli went to get the eggs. In the process, she pushed aside the slender blades of grass that blocked her view. There were some sparse trees nearby, and she could vaguely see a path, with no traces of artificial carvings.
Freya looked at Alexander who was seriously injured and sighed: "Alexander... we are not in a hurry... so I hope you can learn a lesson this time and please be more cautious in your future actions."
Alexander turned back and smiled at Freya: "I just think that the opportunity is too rare to let go easily... I am a little anxious, I'm sorry."
After getting a total of seven bird eggs, everyone on the high ground felt that the wind was picking up. It seemed that the night watchman would not be too relaxed tonight.
"The risk is indeed too great. We may have to be more passive." Noli muttered to herself, and then raised her voice to tell everyone that there was a path on the other side of the lake.
"I think it's going to rain. It's just right. I'm sick. I won't go out tomorrow. Come on, everyone!" Sherlock held his stomach, "I'm really hungry today..." and then trotted towards the camp.
"Tsk, this guy is really..." Freya shook her head, and Alexander also sighed.
Alexander handed the shovel he was carrying to Freya: "I can only trouble you to dig up the snake's body when I go back later. I may not be able to do it now."
"Don't worry about him. I'll dig the hole. After digging, we should go back." Noli volunteered to take the shovel. It was said that she was the strongest among them.
"Well, we'll leave when we're done." Alexander nodded.
