Soon after, the two of them met and continued to head towards the mountainous area. After crossing the junction of the rainforest and the mountainous area, the jungle became sparse, and the tall tree crowns slowly became shorter as they approached the mountainous area, and soon they were no longer visible.
Taking over the sunlight falling from the sky, the sparse light spots quickly passed by the two people walking quickly under the tree.
The two people moved much faster in the mountainous area. When they arrived in the mountainous area, they stopped for a short rest, ate something, and set off immediately after checking the direction.
On a mountain peak near the rainforest, the two used a monocular to observe the path they had taken before in the rainforest. Although they found nothing, Steven's keen intuition felt the distance between the ogres who fell behind.
Not very far.
After traveling quickly in the mountainous area for four days, the two arrived at their camp outside the mountain. It was noon, and the sun was scorching the jungle and exposed rocks, and the two people who were walking in a hurry were sweating profusely.
After several days of rapid march, both of them were very tired. After taking out the dried fish and meat that had been stored in the camp yard and having a good meal, they took a quick rinse and closed the door to rest.
Before entering the small camp yard, the alarm traps in the future direction were slightly restored, which should be effective against a large number of ogres. The two planned to rest until dark, and then take turns on duty at night.
After practicing the soul fire method, Steven can completely control the time of sleep. He can sleep and wake up when he wants, and the time when he wakes up will be very precise.
A few hours of sleep greatly improved the condition of the two of them. After they got up and had dinner, they took some maintenance on their weapons. All the arrows were coated with poison dart frog venom, and they stuffed everything they wanted to take away.
He bought two large backpacks, and the leather bag containing the scroll was carried closely by Steven.
According to the two people's plan, if the ogres chase them to the camp, they will take advantage of the rainy season to travel north to the Biedras River, try to cross the river to the other side, and then find a
Place to wait for the rainy season to end.
The two believed that when the rainy season came, the ogres could only move in a small area and could not track them for long distances. If they were to cross the Bidras River just before the rainy season, the surging river water would definitely block those ogres.
Ogres, if their large army is blocked by the river, then the two of them will be able to completely escape the pursuit of those dwarves by the end of the rainy season.
The night was uneventful, and morning was coming soon. The two of them had already finished breakfast before it was dark, and were discussing the details of the next plan. At this time, the alarm trap in the southeast of the camp was triggered, although it only made a slight sound.
, but was still noticed by Steven.
The two immediately put on their backpacks, picked up their weapons, and prepared for battle. Steven opened the door and leaned over quietly to the fence of the yard. He squatted on the ground and listened carefully. This place was on the edge of the jungle, and the sound could be heard farther away than in the jungle.
The middle is further away.
Later, Steven heard some noise about a hundred meters away, which was in the same direction as the alarm trap. Some of those sounds were surrounding their camp. It was estimated that these ogres were preparing to surround the camp.
At this time, Kate came to Steven with a backpack and a machete. Steven quietly explained the situation he perceived to Kate. The two discussed in a low voice and decided to wait for the right opportunity to break out to the north later.
Later, in Steven's perception, the surrounding ogres were already in place. There were about a dozen ogres in each of the four directions of the camp, and they were slowly approaching the camp.
At this time, the sun is about to rise from the tree canopy in the eastern sky. The orange-red light illuminates the floating clouds in the deep blue sky. There are still a few dim stars shining in the distant western sky. The moon Elise has already set on the mountain.
.
At the moment when the sun rose from the rainforest canopy, Steven and Kate jumped out of the fence of the camp. Steven charged in front, and Kate was a few meters behind holding a hunting bow. The machete was already placed in the leather sheath behind her waist.
.
Steven held the stone dart in his left hand and the handle of the straight knife in his right hand. The blade was placed horizontally in front of him. He leaned forward and rushed forward. After dozens of meters, he approached the dozen ogres who were quietly approaching from the north.
These dwarfs did not expect that the prey had already rushed out and was running towards them quickly. They made a "waaaaaaa" sound from their mouths and spread out to try to surround the two of them.
Steven raised his hand and shot a stone dart. The dwarf at the front was hit in the head before he could react. His body lifted up and fell to the ground twitching. At this time, Steven had already rushed over its body and raised his knife.
He swung and cut off the shaft of the spear that was thrust towards him, and then the neck of the ogre holding the spear was cut in half by a straight knife. When he dropped the spear and held his neck, Steven had already rushed over.
Behind him, he stepped forward and stabbed forward with a straight knife, piercing the third dwarf's eye socket.
Kate behind her drew her bow and released an arrow. The arrow flew into the neck of the ogre on Steven's left who was about to attack. Kate then released another arrow, knocking down an ogre on Steven's right.
At this time, two more dwarfs came around from the side and rushed towards Kate with spears. Kate pulled the bow and shot an arrow. After shooting down one of the dwarfs, she put the hunting bow behind her back, pulled out her machete and rushed in the direction of Steven.
past.
The dwarf screamed, raised his spear and stabbed Kate's chest. Kate blocked the spear with her left arm armor, stepped forward, swung her machete towards the dwarf, and the dwarf dropped the spear and retreated quickly.
But the machete swept across, cutting off one of his hands and flying in the air. The dwarf screamed and covered the wound and walked back.
Kate ignored him and rushed forward in the direction of Steven. Steven had already chopped down several more ogres in front of him. He was always paying attention to the surrounding situation. The dwarf who tried to shoot with a bow and arrow became his priority.
Target, in just such a short time, only a small half of this wave of a dozen ogres can still fight.
Upon seeing this, the remaining dwarfs scattered in all directions. They howled to notify the ogres in other directions of the camp, while taking out their bows and arrows and trying to attack the two from a distance. The ogres in other directions also shouted.
Then rush towards the battlefield.
Steven shook off the blood on the straight knife, sheathed the knife, and took off the hunting bow. Kate behind him also took out the hunting bow. The two followed their previous plan. Kate passed Steven and rushed out of the battlefield toward the north.
Running through the rain forest first, Steven shot down two dwarfs with a hunting bow and then followed Kate out of the siege and left quickly. He easily dodged the arrows that shot at Steven's legs and back of the head.
Soon the two rushed into the northern rain forest, and their figures disappeared among the dense jungle branches and leaves. At this time, the rising sun was shining on the edge of the rain forest, and the tree trunks were dyed golden yellow.
