The lord is red again

Fuller chose to run away.

He is a "thief" and he is very good at escaping.

Dozens of consecutive steps allowed him to quickly escape from that battle.

Damn the glory, damn the mission!

Let the undead hold it there, and you can run to a safer place.

When death came infinitely closer to himself, Fuller realized what he really feared.

Now that life in the Rand Kingdom has returned to normal, he should probably go back instead of fighting on the front line. The general will definitely not care about the life and death of a sentry. The war will definitely last for a long time. He has a happy attitude.

While he was breathing heavily, his mind was spinning rapidly.

But the worst thing was that it was completely dark and he was a little confused.

Until he stepped into some kind of soft mud soup, he knew that he must have fallen into the black river water that he wanted to avoid before.

The body was sinking rapidly, the gurgling sound was like boiling soup in a hanging pot, and he was the poor guy who was about to be swallowed up.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Fuller's arm.

"Don't struggle, the more you struggle, the deeper you will sink!" It was a girl's voice.

It's like the sound of nature.

He slowed down his body as much as possible and allowed the other party to pull him out of the swallowing black mud.

"Thank you." Fuller wiped the paste that had been splashed on his face because of the struggle. He only sank to his thighs and was rescued.

It was completely dark, and he could only vaguely see that the other party was relatively thin.

The fact that she was not wearing armor meant that she was not a member of the expeditionary force.

"I am Fuller, sentinel of the kingdom." Even though he was already a deserter.

"Li, you can call me Xiaoli."

When Xiaoli lit up the fire, Fuller saw clearly that the other party had ice-blue skin and a pretty face.

Night devil girl.

"I've seen your portrait," Fuller said.

"Portrait?" she wondered.

"I mean, a portrait of your species."

"We occasionally communicated with people in that village before. I heard that this was the case. It may have been left behind at that time." The Night Demon Girl said.

No matter what, it's best for the two of them to work together on this night.

It's a natural cooperation, they are just two poor people in the dark.

He didn't want to talk too much about the expeditionary force. It was difficult for him to guarantee whether the girl in front of him would also encounter the expeditionary force.

Suddenly he regretted telling the other party his name. For a period of time, the name "Fuller" would definitely be laughed at in the expeditionary force.

Xiaoli, the night devil girl, said a lot.

"I want to go back to the Twilight Pool. We believe in the Lady of the Night and guard her key, but the key is always lost."

She wanted to go back to get the keys and fulfill her obligations, but the way back was difficult.

Just when she was about to give up, she met Fuller.

"I can walk with you for a while," Fuller said. "By the way, you said you didn't come from Morpheus Gate?"

"Yeah, let's go another way and the Queen will arrange our lives."

Her words were scattered, and Fuller had to piece together and think hard to extract effective information. It was like her whole body was jumping around. The first half of the sentence was talking about walking, and the second half suddenly jumped to another topic. On the Queen whom I have never talked about.

This means that she is inexperienced and naive.

Fuller asked, "Can you tell me how to get there?"

"Of course. I just want to go back. Let's go on the way."

The Night Devil girl was also very curious about the human world. She wanted to hear everything about it from Fuller, but Fuller, who had just become a deserter, didn't want to mention it.

"Twilight Pool?" He could only try to change the topic in other directions.

Xiaoli was easily diverted: "Yes, we were born in the Twilight Pool and are natural believers of the Lady of the Night. We will spend our lives serving the Lady of the Night, and then we will guard the key."

"What key?"

"A key that is always lost." Xiaoli suddenly stared at Fuller's face for a while, her face full of caution.

"I'm not going to steal that key. Today is the first time I've heard of it."

Seeing her like this, Fuller was also curious: "What can that key do? Open all the locks?"

Some locks are magic locks that cannot be opened without breaking the magic. I heard that Linde's treasure is hidden behind such locks.

But that’s just what I heard.

"Why do you want to open the lock?"

"But it's the key."

"It can do more!" Xiaoli looked at Fuller with very serious eyes and said, "More!"

"for example?"

"Let the daughter of the night come."

The Lady of the Night is probably a powerful deity, but Fuller has no interest in keys that cannot bring wealth, glory, etc.

To an unbeliever, seeing a pagan god was no gift.

Fuller had plenty of dry food prepared on him. Discarding the ones soaked in mud soup, the rest was enough for them to eat.

The way out was not easy, and to ensure safety, they kept moving along the black river.

"There's something else?"

Fuller mistakenly thought that the river would swallow everything and nothing could survive in it, but the huge thing in front of him made him couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

It was a fat creature like a hill, with claws as long as a hybrid sword, and the claws spread out like a weapon rack.

Its eyes were white without pupils.

But what puzzled Fuller was that Xiaoli had no reaction to this huge thing, not at all like she was startled when she walked along the way.

Suddenly the monster's body began to tremble, and Fuller quickly stepped back, and then he understood why Xiaoli didn't feel fear.

The monster had long been dead, and countless cockroaches as big as leather boots crawled in and out of the monster's body.

The body was eaten by cockroaches, and it looked like it was trembling from a distance.

The monster was just prey.

"Insects are the most dangerous things." Xiaoli said.

"Like man-eating flies?" Fuller asked.

"Yes, but not just man-eating flies."

They found a place to hide and rest at night, and then waited for dawn to move forward. After two days and nights, they finally came to a spiraling slope, which was the temporary residence of the Night Demon.

According to Xiaoli, this was the place where the queen told them to stay. The queen had to leave temporarily because of something, but she would be back soon, and the queen also took some people away.

"Is the Queen also a Night Demon?"

"No, she is not of the same tribe as us, she just saved us."

Xiao Li was very grateful and respectful to the Queen.

The "Woo-woo" wolf howl made the two of them nervous immediately.

Fuller reached out and grabbed Xiao Li, dragging her behind a rock to hide.

"It's a mad wolf, that kind of monster will use its tongue to drill blood holes in your body, and finally tear you to pieces with its claws and teeth." Xiao Li covered her mouth after she finished speaking.

They held their breath to avoid making any sound.

The thieves had plenty of experience in this area, but the mad wolf seemed to have determined that there must be something wrong here, and the sound of its claws pressing on the ground gradually increased.

Fuller held the knife and waited nervously, he didn't want to conflict with those bloody things.

"Ah--!"

The miserable cry of the mad wolf came from outside, and then the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

"Xiao Li!" A woman's voice came.

The two stood up from behind the stone. There were four mad wolves with smashed heads and two night demons with ice blue skin.

They pinched their hands in strange hand seals, and the magic light was dissipating from their wrists.

"Is this magic?" Fuller breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two night demons.

"It's magic that belongs to us." They said.

The night demons simply nodded to Fuller, and then began to scold Xiaoli, saying that her behavior of leaving without permission was very dangerous.

When they learned that Fuller wanted to leave, the night demons pointed out a way and even gave him a horse.

"It's like an interesting experience!" Fuller swung the reins, but unfortunately the horse was too old and ran very slowly, and it would take him a long time to get back.
