In her sleep, the dark rabbit girl, Junzu, was awakened by extreme fear.
Because the nightmare was too real, when she woke up, Junzu couldn't even tell whether she was in reality or a dream, so she immediately jumped up from the straw bed and looked around to see if "that bloody mouth" was near her.
Only after realizing that everything he had just experienced was "just a nightmare" did Junzu breathe a sigh of relief, then sat down against the wall with his whole body limp.
——(So... I'm still alive...)
·
Junzu tried hard to calm her rapid breathing. This was the first time in her life that she felt the feeling of "fear".
In her previous dream, she dreamed that a dark figure suddenly appeared behind her, and then opened its bloody mouth like a monster and swallowed her in one gulp.
At the moment of being swallowed, Junzu could clearly see the monster's teeth, saliva and even tongue. Even the foul breath that hit his face seemed real.
Why do I have such nightmares for no reason?
And what about that extreme fear that felt like being there in person?
While her memory was still fresh, Junzu tried hard to recall the details of her nightmare. She found that the scene of her being eaten in the dream was very similar to the cave she was in now.
And that square shape of the doorway...she seemed to have seen it somewhere before?
After thinking about it for a while, Junzu finally remembered that the entrance to the cave where his mother was resting was exactly the same as the one he saw in his nightmare just now.
Does the similarity between this dream and reality imply any message?
Could this actually be a prophetic dream, warning my mother that she was about to encounter some danger?
Junzu found a towel and wiped the sweat off her head and body. She was so scared from the nightmare just now that she was soaked.
While wiping the sweat off her face, she calmed herself down.
Junzu told himself that such a strange and complicated matter was obviously not something he, who was not good at thinking, could handle.
The most important thing she should do now is to go to the cave next door and tell her sister Feng Er about the nightmare and see what Feng Er sister thinks about it.
·
Although it was already midnight, Junzu still got up and went out to look for his sister Fenger.
Such illogical and impolite behavior is commonplace for Junzu, and Fenger often scolds her for these behaviors.
But even though he was scolded many times, Junzu still didn't learn his lesson and had already entered Fenger's cave.
"Wind Ear... Sister Wind Ear, are you asleep...?"
Asking others if they are asleep in the middle of the night, only a thick-skinned dark rabbit girl like Junzu can do such a thing.
After entering Feng'er's cave in the dark, Junzu saw no response, so he lit the magic stone lamp and prepared himself to be scolded by Feng'er.
However, what she saw were empty grass beds and caves.
Wind Ear was not in the cave.
——(Strange, where did you go when you weren't sleeping at night?)
Gallop Foot pursed his nose and began to smell the lingering scent of Windear in the air.
In addition to its agility and speed, Junzu's only advantage is its sense of smell.
·
It wasn't long before Junzu locked onto Fenger's scent. Following the sweet scent, Junzu arrived at the entrance of his mother's cave.
The moment he saw the square entrance of the cave, Junzu was stunned.
This cave entrance is so similar to the one she saw in her dream!
The almost identical similarity reminded Junzu of the fear he felt in the nightmare, and his heartbeat became abnormal.
What made her even more nervous was that there was a faint smell of blood at the entrance of the cave. Judging from the fresh smell, it was very likely that a bloody incident had just occurred not long ago.
—(Wind Ears…at the entrance to Mother’s cave…blood…w-what the hell is going on here…?!)
Junzu was panicking. She had a vague premonition... Fenger might be in danger.
·
For a long time, because of the clever Wind Ear, Junzu could neither think nor was good at thinking.
But in contrast, Junzu's intuition is quite accurate, especially when it comes to bad things.
The intricate cave where she was at the moment should have been a very safe place. Even though it was a temporary retreat, her mother was protecting everyone with the highest security requirements.
However, Sister Feng'er encountered danger in such a safe cave and her life or death was in danger.
Was the person who hurt Feng Er sister an infiltrated enemy, or was it... ?
Prepared to be severely criticized by Mother, he stepped into Mother's cave.
Junzu believes that his mother is absolutely capable of helping him solve the mystery of what happened tonight.
However, just after entering the cave, Junzu found that his mother was not inside. Only the parchment scrolls on the ground silently told how busy his mother was on weekdays.
—(Strange, why isn't Mother here either...? Doesn't everyone sleep at night?)
Gallopfoot sighed, turned around and went back the way he had come.
One thing that made her feel strange was that the bloody smell at the cave entrance had actually drifted into her mother's cave.
Logically, in this almost windless cave, the smell shouldn't spread so quickly, unless...
——(Could it be that Mother was also attacked?)
Junzu was completely panicked now. She immediately quickened her pace and ran towards the Dark Rabbit Clan's guards.
Whether it is Sister Feng Er or Mother, they must be safe!
·
·
Anxious and restless, Junzu quickly found the guards. He then brought along the tamed monster "Flame Wolfhound," whose nose was sharper than Junzu's, and locked onto the scent again, starting the night-long pursuit.
Junzu didn't know whose scent the Flame Wolfhound had locked onto, but one thing was certain: the owner of the scent had appeared at the crime scene and had now left the cave.
Under the moonlight, Gallop and the guards followed the Flame Wolfhound all the way and were ready to fight at any time.
However, just when they thought they were getting closer to the "target", the scent was cut off in front of a bottomless ice crack.
The Flame Wolfhound, unable to find a direction to move forward, could only circle around in place, whimpering. Seeing this, the guards could only tell Junzu that there was really no other way.
In the absence of more evidence, the guard team can only withdraw tonight. As for the "missing" Dark Rabbit Queen and Wind Ear, the fact that they were not in the cave for such a short time does not mean that they really encountered any danger.
"After all, our rank is very low, and Her Majesty the Queen won't tell us if she goes out for something. Why not wait and see tomorrow, Junzu? Maybe they will have returned by the time you wake up."
The guards' words of comfort were like the cold wind blowing through the night, and they did not comfort Gallop Foot at all.
However, she also knew that the other party had tried their best, so she thanked them and let them go back first.
As for Junzu herself...she still needs to take a few more turns around this Besent area.
10.131 - Shadows in the Woods
Junzu actually agreed with the guard's words.
Logically speaking, tonight's situation wasn't even an emergency.
Therefore, looking back now, Junzu was even more grateful to the guards. She was grateful that the guards did not ignore her unreasonable behavior and did their best to meet her needs.
Being indifferent to the outside world but enthusiastic at home is one of the racial cultures of the Dark Rabbit Clan.
Now, after the outing to track down the enemy failed, Junzu is left alone and needs to make an independent decision.
Without the help of her sister Feng Er, she found it difficult to even make a decision.
——(Hmm, I…I’ll just trust my intuition…!)
Junzu is not good at complex thinking. When the problem she faces is too complicated, she will leave the steering wheel to her "intuition".
At this moment, Junzu's intuition told him with a worried feeling that something must have happened to his mother and Fenger.
Only by continuing to search in the Besant area could she avert the impending misfortune.
He did it right away and started running in the dark.
Her worry about her mother and sister Wind-Ear made her shake off the fatigue caused by lack of sleep. Without the assistance of the Flame Wolfhound, she used her sense of smell and intuition to decide where to run.
As she ran, Junzu miraculously smelled the familiar smell of blood again. She followed the smell and finally found a vague figure in a pine forest.
——(Who…who is there?)
Years of combat training made Junzu subconsciously stop and sneak over carefully.
Even if the figure in front of her might be her mother or her sister Feng Er, she couldn't just go there defenselessly.
After all, this is not the tribe's camp, and now is not a peaceful and safe time.
·
Holding his breath, he slowly approached his target.
Gradually, she saw the face of the figure clearly, and it turned out to be her mother.
But why did mother come to this pine forest in the middle of the night?
And... the source of the bloody smell seems to be on my mother.
strangeness.
It's really weird.
Junzu's intuition, which was always accurate, was now sounding an alarm.
Her intuition told her not to get close to that 'guy' who looked like her mother...that wasn't her mother, but something else.
——(Could it be a monster that can mimic disguises...?!)
——(Could it be possible that my mother has been eaten by it?!)
Gallopfoot was frightened.
The figure of my mother overlapped with the bloody mouth in the nightmare.
The fear he felt in the nightmare not long ago once again captured Junzu's heart.
As the daughter of the Dark Rabbit Queen, who was born with emotional defects, it was ironic that the first emotion she felt in her life was fear, and that it came from her most respected and beloved mother.
Involuntarily, Junzu began to slowly retreat.
At this moment, she had only one wish in her heart, which was to save her own life.
However, the more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
Just when Junzu had quietly retreated several meters, the figure that was suspected to be his mother suddenly disappeared in the pine forest.
——(What happened? Where did you go?!)
Junzu was so frightened that she stopped and looked around, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the figure. What was even more strange was that there was not a single footprint left on the snow...!
Could the other party fly? !
Junzu's guess was actually very close to the truth, but in the face of the cruel gap in strength, it didn't matter whether she guessed right or wrong.
As a dull crash suddenly sounded behind him, Junzu instinctively jumped to the side to avoid it.
However, despite Junzu's quick reaction, he was still stabbed in the side by the attack from behind, and blood gushed out immediately.
·
——(Blood Flame Technique!)
Rich combat experience allowed Junzu to react before thinking.
The moment she realized she was bleeding profusely, she used her professional combat skills, causing the blood in the wound to burst into flames, thus forcibly burning the wound and blocking it, so as to prevent herself from dying from excessive bleeding.
At the same time, she also saw the true face of the enemy who attacked her... This guy really looked exactly like her mother, except for the evil expression on his face, which her mother would never make.
"Who the hell are you, you shameless bastard pretending to be my mother?!"
Gallop Foot raised his usual weapon, the "Blood Tiger Claw," and prepared to fight the enemy to the death.
Judging from the speed at which the enemy approached her just now, she knew that she had no chance of escape.
"Wuhuhuhu~ You two sisters are really sensitive. Little Wusuoqi has really brought up two good seedlings. It's a pity that you are no longer useful, hehe."
