"Maybe it's not that coincidental..." Katerina gradually lost her confidence.
The "route" is protected and maintained, and the possibility of intruding on weird things, especially powerful weird things, is very low.
"I feel it approaching." Lu Li said calmly.
They made a mistake.
The mark placed on Lu Li by the model's mother has not disappeared, and he did not remove the mark in Midnight City.
Strange descriptions about the leader were heard intermittently outside the carriage, confirming their speculation.
The one who chased her was the model mother.
"You and Pusius stay." Lu Li pushed open the carriage door.
The breeze swept into the carriage, ruffling the hair and emotions of Catalina and others.
"Where are you going?" Katarina shouted with a frown.
"It came for me." Lu Li got out of the car.
Uneasiness breeds in the motorcade, and many heads emerge from the carriage and look behind
Lu Li walked along the long motorcade to the front, and there was faint noise coming from the carriage in the front.
"It ignored our bait."
"Use pigs."
"It's no use! Even though the slave's blood is almost dry, I haven't lured it away."
"Go and check the cargo and passengers to see what the hell brought it here!"
Outside the carriage, Lu Li approached the knight guarding the carriage: "I know the leader's weird information."
"You wait." The stunned knight came to his senses, jumped onto the carriage and got into the carriage.
"Bring him in!"
Rough shouts could also be heard outside the carriage. The knight invited Lu Li to enter the carriage: "Boss, let you get in."
Lu Li stepped onto the carriage.
Bastos, the leader of the Pulisi motorcade, was sitting in the seat, leaning on the armrest with his waist-thick left arm, looking at Lu Li who was hiding in a black robe with a sinister look: "Are you a heretic? Do you know the information about that leader?"
Yeah?"
"It came from the old sewer and came towards me."
Bastos' servant approached Lu Li holding an oil lamp. The light dispersed the shadow under the hood, revealing the lower half of his face.
"Coming for you?" Bastos whispered. Lu Li's calmness made him angry, but he couldn't get angry: "Listen, no matter who you are, you can solve the trouble you caused yourself, or I can throw you out.
!”
The skinny monkey-like servant rubbed his paws, and a terrifying shadow appeared on the wall of the carriage.
"Master, maybe he has a treasure stolen from the leader Weird." The servant smiled ferociously, taking a deep breath of the wonderful scent wafting from Lu Li's body.
"Treasure..." Bastos narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Li.
"The reason it's hunting is because I killed its child." The situation got worse before Lu Li spoke.
Bastos didn't seem to want to see Lu Li again and waved his normal left arm: "Take your trouble and get out of my convoy."
He gave up the idea. Lu Li's calmness and appearance made him afraid, and who knew whether the leader monster that killed him would turn around and attack the convoy.
"Get me a horse and a map."
The atmosphere in the carriage condensed with the sound of Lu Li's words. Bastos stared at Lu Li fiercely in silence.
"It's faster than the convoy." Lu Li just replied.
"...As he said, bring him a fast horse." After a pause for a few seconds, Bastos stared at Lu Li, tilted his head and said to the servant.
Bastos held the sheepskin map in his strong, normal-sized arms, walked up to Lu Li, and patted it on his chest.
"Boy, if you are still alive later, you can come to me, Bastos."
Lu Li did not answer, put away the parchment map and walked out of the carriage, mounted the prepared horse, pulled the reins and left the convoy.
Bastos watched quietly for a moment, then tilted his head and scolded the men standing aside: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go back and see if the weird one is still following you!"
…
Creep horse canters in brown wilderness.
The fungus carpet that infects horses is more like a symbiosis than a parasite. The rigidification of the fungus dulls the nerves and muscles of the fungus horses, making it difficult for the fungus horses to run, but it also gives them endurance and durability.
And wisdom.
Infected horses are smarter than ordinary horses and can even understand some words.
This fungus can also parasitize humans. People usually avoid touching wounds with the fungus carpet, but even if they come into contact, it will be fine as long as the skin where the fungus grows is scraped off.
The saddle separated Lu Li from the fungus horse's rotten and disgusting fur.
It was not blind that Lu Li took the strange direction. There was a village fifty miles away, which was similar to a wind shelter village. The main part was located in an old sewer.
The prerequisite is that Lu Li can get there before the model's mother catches up.
The motorcade behind them faded into part of the horizon.
"Save me..."
A faint shout suddenly sounded from behind the rock, almost lost in the sound of horse hooves and wind.
Lu Li looked towards the direction where the sound came from. A man in ragged clothes was leaning against a rock, and a line of blood stretched from the distance to his side.
The weird things wandering in the wilderness will not spare a human being. Nor should a slave-like person lie seriously injured in the wilderness.
Lu Li thought of the "meat pig" that Pulisi's team had mentioned as bait.
Pulling the reins, Lu Li jumped off the creep horse and walked to the slave.
The slave lost too much blood. The dirt on his pale face could not be covered, and he was unable to cover the bleeding arm cuts.
Lu Li lifted off his cloak, tore off the corners of his clothes, and used them as gauze to bind the slave's wounds. The latter's mouth twitched in pain and he became more awake.
"Can we still leave?" Lu Li asked him.
"I lost too much blood..." The slave begged in a low voice: "Take me away, I don't want to die here... I am not a stranger, I am a human being..."
"That leader monster is chasing me, I can't take you away."
Lu Li stood up and looked behind him.
A cloud of dust rose in the distance. As a sandstorm, its scale was too small.
It's the approaching model mother.
"I'm going to die... I don't want to... I don't want to..." the slave whispered incoherently. His originally numb heart was on the verge of death due to excessive bleeding, reawakening hopeless hope.
Lu Li paused for a few seconds, then suddenly helped the slave up, pushed him onto the creep horse, and put the sheepskin map with memorized contents into the slave's pocket.
"Take him back to a place you think is safe," Lu Li said to the creep horse.
The fungus horse seemed to understand the words, swept its tail, and walked away with its limbs.
Lu Li looked at the dust in the distance again, turned around and ran towards the depths of the wilderness.
"You're stupid!"
The eldest sister's head appeared on Lu Li's shoulder.
"I'm faster than a creep horse." Lu Li knew what it was referring to and said concisely. "Do you have any way to deal with the model mother?"
Lu Li couldn't keep running for fifty miles, and his previous plan wouldn't work.
"I won't help you!" The eldest sister jumped off her shoulders and fell into the hood, seemingly no longer hiding.
"When I am killed, your journey is over." Lu Li said.
"...I can't beat it!" The eldest sister paused.
"Use other methods, such as getting rid of or leading him away."
"No!"
"It's time to remove the mark."
"...It takes time!" The eldest sister finally loosened her head and shouted hesitantly: "And it can see you, and it will also find you if you remove the mark!"
"Then find a place that blocks its view."
Lu Li thought of a forest nearly thirty miles away.
On the sheepskin map, there is an area marked with caution: [Plant Habitat]
