"What?!" Bedivere looked at Palamedes in disbelief, impressed (depressed) by the divine logic of the Leopard Man warrior.
"Come on," the big black panther took out two clean and dry pieces of dried meat from the barbecue on the side: "Rely on your parents at home and rely on friends when you go out. Would you rather make one more enemy or make one more friend?
Where are your friends? -------Listen to me and give this dried meat to the wolf so that it can remember your kindness."
Bedivere showed a look of disdain: "Then wait for it to pounce and bite my throat. It's great."
This time it was Palamedes' turn to glare at Bedivere.
"What?" The werewolf shrugged and looked at the leopard warrior in confusion.
"Bedi, in my memory, when you were a child, you should have been more... uh, innocent. What did you become when you grew up? This ruthless Bediwell, full of hostility to the world.
, is he still the stupid and cute little wolf cub from before?"
Bedivere frowned: "I have grown up, and of course I am different from the little idiot seven years ago. Why would I do something like this that would obviously lead to a loss?
Palamedes, you have been sleeping for seven years. After seven years, do you still think that this world will be the same as the world you originally knew? Don't be stupid."
The big cat was silent for a while, and a lonely look flashed across his face.
"Huh, okay." The werewolf grabbed a wooden stick as a weapon, "I don't want to argue with you, why don't I just go and feed the puppy? I'll just go---if that can make you shut up."
He picked up the dried meat in one hand and a weapon in the other, and jumped under the tree nimbly.
"Awwwwwwwww------" The big bad wolf saw Bedivere suddenly appearing and began to howl full of hostility.
"Yes, yes, I know, you crazy hungry little bastard." The werewolf threw the dried meat in his hand towards the big bad wolf, almost falling on the big bad wolf's face.
The guy avoided it quickly and at the same time let out a deeper and more nervous howl towards Bedivere.
Not to be outdone, the werewolves took up arms and went on full alert.
Palamedes, who was watching all this from the tree crown, shook his head: Isn't it just to feed the wolf? Why does it seem like he wants to start a war?
Bedivere faced off with the big bad wolf for dozens of seconds. Seeing that the werewolf showed no intention of attacking, the wolf stopped howling and glanced at the dried meat on the ground.
"Eat it, bastard." The werewolf said angrily, "It's not poisoned. This thing was brought by that stupid cat in the tree to honor your old man. If you eat it, get out of here."
"Awwwwww..." The big bad wolf howled at Bedivere a few more times. Although it couldn't understand human words, it seemed to be able to feel the hostility in the werewolf's tone.
"What's wrong? Too little?" Bedivere also looked at the wolf with hostility, "I can only give you so much. If you have the ability, go hunt for yourself. Don't come to us to beg for food."
"Bedivere, you've gone too far." Palamedes couldn't bear it anymore and said something on the tree.
"It doesn't understand anyway, this stupid wolf." said the werewolf.
Unexpectedly, the big bad wolf roared in a vague voice, and its voice vaguely formed a sentence: "You don't understand."
When he said this, Bedivere and Paramedis were stunned at the same time.
This is a talking wolf!
"It's hard to believe!" Palamedes couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Now the monsters are becoming smarter and smarter!?" The werewolf also exclaimed.
The big bad wolf ignored the two surprised Shou people, picked up the two big pieces of dried meat and ran away. It deftly jumped over the alarm device made of rope without making any sound, and instantly disappeared in the darkness.
In the forest.
For a wolf, for a beast, that thing is incredibly smart?!
"...Do you want to catch up?" Bedivere asked in a low voice.
"Don't chase, come up quickly." Palamedes shouted. Walking in the middle of the night in a dark forest where monsters are rampant is looking for death.
"Anyway, this grudge is settled. It won't come to trouble us again." Palamedes groaned, although he really wanted to find out what was going on with the big bad talking wolf.
"I hope so." Bediwell jumped to the tree several times along the trunk and sat down next to the fire: "Rest, Paramedes. I will stand guard next."
"Yes." The leopard man warrior got into bed and lay down next to his sons: "It's still growing tonight. Don't cause any more trouble."
"Of course." The werewolf added more firewood to the fire.
Segrad, who was lying on his side, blinked. He had been awakened by the conversation between his father and the werewolf just now, but he just didn't intend to intervene and kept pretending to be asleep.
The young leopard man has long been aware of the unusual friendship between his father Paramedis and the werewolf Bedivere, but there has been no evidence. The conversation between the two just now gave the young leopard man a big hint.
But he didn't say anything and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, pretending that all this had never happened.
At the same time, Husky, who escaped from the underground laboratory and rushed to the upper level along the stairs, arrived at the middle level of the castle.
He looked at the layout around him. This floor was very similar to the floor when they came. I'm afraid it was the same floor. If they could find the vent they came from, they should be able to escape from this damn place!
But will things be so simple?
As if to deal with the prisoners escaping from the cell, the entire floor was lit up and became brightly lit. With such sufficient lighting conditions, it would be extremely difficult for them to find a dark corner to lurk.
matter.
If there is another Headless Horseman patrolling over, Husky and Hal may have nowhere to hide, so they can only be captured obediently. Is there no way to escape from this castle?
Husky looked at the vent not far away. It was obviously not the vent they came through, but it at least provided a safer route. Since they could not find the way back in the first place, they could only
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, just find a vent and drill it.
The vents were so narrow that at least the headless horsemen couldn't come in to catch them.
...hopefully.
The vent was about two yards high from the ground. The big wolfdog pounced and easily tore off the cover of the vent.
The thing fell to the ground and made a slight sound. No one knew whether it would attract the Headless Horseman. All they could do was escape into the vent as quickly as possible.
"Hal, can you climb up by yourself?" Husky asked in a low voice.
"I...will try." Hal climbed up from the wolfdog and tried to climb up with the help of Husky's push.
It was useless. His body was already weak and his strength was drained. Hal could not climb up to that high platform by himself. Even if there was a big dog pushing hard under his feet, he just couldn't do it.
He lost his grip and fell awkwardly to the ground. Fortunately, Huskey reacted quickly enough and cushioned the Leopard Man boy before he fell to the ground.
"Yes...I'm sorry, meow." The leopard boy could not suppress the despair on his face.
"It doesn't matter, let me give it a try." After Husky said that, he jumped towards the vent, grabbed the wall with his claws several times, and climbed up easily. The whole set of actions was so natural, it seemed
There is no difficulty at all.
The problem was how to pick up Hal next. Husky sighed and gritted his teeth. He straightened his usually curled tail, used it as a rope, and hung it from the edge of the vent.
"Husky...?" The leopard boy was confused for a while.
"Hurry and grab my tail, I'll pull you up to bark." The big wolf dog said.
"It will hurt meow---" Hal was even more puzzled. The orc's tail is a critical point, and no orc would be willing to stretch out its tail and let others pull it. The pain of the tail being pulled can penetrate deep into the bone marrow and penetrate the whole body, which is much worse than when an important part is being pulled.
The pain from the kick is dozens of times more intense, which is no joke.
"I...I said yes, come on up." Husky gritted his teeth tighter, preparing for the severe pain that followed.
"Then...Okay, here I come, meow---" In desperation, Hal grabbed the dog's tail and climbed up.
"---Ohhhhhhhhh!!" Husky screamed involuntarily, his scalp numb with pain and tears streaming down his face. Although he tried his best not to make too much noise, what he made was
The moans and groans were still very shocking, enough to attract enemies within dozens of yards.
The footsteps of the Headless Horseman could be clearly heard not far away. Little Hal was exhausted, but he knew the hard work of his friend. He also knew that the situation was dangerous and he had no time to hesitate. He could only use his last strength to climb up as soon as possible.
.
Hal grabbed the edge of the vent with one hand and was about to make the final climb. Husky also felt that the force on his tail had weakened a lot. Knowing that Hal was about to climb up, he crawled forward with all his strength.
, using the power of his body to pull the Black Panther boy up.
Thump! Hal fell into the vent, having exhausted all his strength. But he also came up.
Husky dragged Hal forward a few steps, and then fell down weakly in pain. The severe pain in his tail spread along his spine and penetrated into every nerve, every muscle, and every inch of his body.
The pain in my bone marrow was indescribable.
But they escaped in. They'll be saved, probably.
"Husky... I really hope we can be friends forever, meow." The little black panther sobbed in a low voice: "If I can do this, how can I not be friends with you forever, meow."
"Me too...Me too--" The wolf-dog crawled forward slowly, his consciousness beginning to blur. He tried his best to stay awake and worked hard to move forward an inch more.
At least they escaped, and at least they were safe for the time being. Even if they died of starvation, cold, and suffocation in a ventilation duct, it was at least better than being killed by the Headless Horsemen.
When he thought of this, Husky finally breathed a sigh of relief.
