Chapter 251 Escape from the Shell

When the three of them got up, they washed their faces in the hot water I had put in the kettle last night.

Each with his own dagger, cut the meat to eat.

"We are living here," Li said with a smile as she brushed her hair back. "If we are not careful, we will become primitive people."

"It would be nice to be back in Cuckoo Island." Li Yunna poked a piece of meat into her mouth with a dagger. "We have money and modern houses. Sister Wan Xue, we go back this time the new king city should be built. You go there and you'll find exactly the same society."

"I'm looking forward to what you said." Li Wanxue smiled and asked me again, "Lu Fei, what are we going to do today?"

"Prepare plenty of food for the night and rest during the day. Sleep if you want, play in the snow if you want. We won't see snow again when we get back to Bukgu."

"Shall we have a snowball fight later?" Li Yunna excitedly proposed.

"You can play for a while and get as much rest as you can. There aren't many of those on the schedule." I'm not in the mood to play.

"Just past the forest." "We can go to the tribes and maybe borrow an alpaca," Li said. "Then we can go back quickly."

"I hope so." It was not so easy to meet the aborigines. When we came here, we picked up a lot of advantages and directly met one tribe after another.

After eating, Zombu and another native lay down directly on the hide. Two women insisted on going out to have a snowball fight, so I had to play along. I can't take sides between two women. I have to be on my own.

Both women showed no mercy when they attacked me. I got beat up pretty bad, so I fought back.

"Ah... It's cold in my neck." Li Yunna panic of call up.

I tossed the snowball in my hand: "throw in the towel, throw in the towel and we're done."

Before I finished, a snowball hit my nose and mouth and burst. The lips of the frozen man tremble.

I dried the snow and was about to fight back when I saw a line of dark shadows coming towards us through the snow. Snow and mist rose as they passed.

I dropped the snowball and shouted at them both, "Go back to the shack. The ogres are coming."

Two women ran to my side in panic. I took their hands and went back to the shack. I called the two of them up. Because the ground inside the stone was so high, and because it had snowed heavily all night, I could stand half my body out of the wall of snow.

As the five men stood inside the wall of snow, I said, "Everyone change your rifles, and when they get closer, shoot."

"With all this snow, monsters still come after us?" Li Yunna complained bitterly of say: "this willpower is too indomitable."

"I'm the first one, and they won't rest until they catch me." I was loaded and ready to shoot. I used my gunpowder rifle and traded with Li Yunna.

The main idea was to make a splash and draw as many wild animals out of the woods as possible. Once they're in the war, it'll be a lot easier for us to deal with the monsters.

Where the monster passes, it's too foggy to see. They couldn't even aim and shoot when they were two or three hundred meters away.

"Lu Fei, are they so close? Are we not going to shoot?" Li Wanxue asked eagerly.

"Go ahead." We collected a large number of iron - tipped bullets without worrying about wear and tear.

After the shots rang out, there was something strange in the snow mist. With only a hundred or so metres between them, the group stopped. As the snow and fog lifted, it became clear that the monster man was not riding the alpaca, but walking side by side with several alpacas, sitting on a large trailer pulled by the alpaca.

"Chief, this time we must take the alpaca." "Cried Zombo excitedly.

"We must seize this opportunity."

The monster man, presumably afraid of losing his horse, stopped and started making snow walls out of snow. Several were sent to fight with us at the same time. In the exchange of fire, two of the other men were killed.

When the wall of snow was erected, all their men hid in it. The alpacas were pulled behind.

"What shall we do, chief? To endure with them?" Zombo asked me.

"Improvise." There are only five of us. We can only cope with change.

Now we have enough to eat, because we are not afraid to spend time with them, afraid that they are relying on the number of people, with us to play wheel battles. As early as in the sinkhole, we have suffered a great loss in this respect.

After holding out for a while, the monster man did not even appear. My guess was confirmed to some extent.

"Oba, you watch the big two." Li Yunna ran up to me and pointed to the sky. "That's what they use to send messages by flying pigeons."

"One for each of us." As I hailed, I aimed and fired at a large bird, which fell.

Zombu also shot down another bird, and they landed in the middle of our confrontation, forty or fifty meters from the Monster man's snow wall.

That's when I really knew what they were trying to do. They were waiting for the rest of the team to come together and attack us. They were trying to capture us alive. Even though I didn't kill the god. But by connecting the tunnels to this mass enslavement escape, anyone can see that I'm behind it. Only by taking me back and executing me in public can the majesty of the gods be kept from collapsing.

Although the birds were dead, the ogres still needed to get information from them, so they made two small snow walls, used them as shields, and moved slowly forward.

"Lu Fei, why don't we run away?" Li Wanxue suggested: "If they all use this method, they can be quickly surrounded."

"To run now is to die." I slung my gun over my shoulder and looked back at some of the dry wood we had stored. I could burn it for another two days and nights.

Having let them keep watching, I went back and added more wood, and scraped some fat from the horse and roasted it over the wood.

"Chief, they're getting the bird."

"At once." I grabbed two greasy sticks of wood, took aim at them and threw them. The torches fell squarely on the bird. The grease on the dry wood is hard to put out, and the feathers of the big birds are thick and easy to burn. In a twinkling, the two big birds become firebirds.

The ogres, who were still trying to get closer, stopped. Got up, fired two shots at us, started backing off.

"You've never been so precise." Li Wanxue asked with a smile.

"Trained. In this world, if your hands and eyes are not good enough, you can die at any time." It's just practice makes perfect.

With Zombo watching, I asked the others to sit back and rest.

"What are you going to do, Lu Fei?"

Li Wanxue asked again.

I shook my head and said, "I can't decide yet. If we run away, we can't run away from them. And the mountains are full of wild animals. Tonight we'll see."

"I have an idea, chief." Another said, "Let's dig a hole in the snow and go straight to them. We'll catch them by surprise and run away as soon as we can."

"How can we make a hole with only a foot of snow? Not realistic." At this depth, the snow would collapse within a few meters, and you'd have to lie on your stomach to turn around.

The standoff lasted until noon, when the monster man began to run away on his alpaca. Zombo told me the information as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, they're going to get firewood for lunch."

"Isn't it about time we made some food?" Li Wanxue asked.

"Cooking, of course." I stretched. "We're not just going to eat, we're going to have a good meal."

"Bear PAWS for lunch?" Li Yunna excitedly asked.

"Yes, I took two big PAWS out to eat." After all, you don't know which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected, and that's a good thing to leave to monster people.

"But how do you make bear PAWS?" Li Wanxue is in trouble.

"Do what you can." I've never seen a bear's paw before, let alone know how to do it.

Li Wanxue took Li Yunna into the shack, I sat to the fire side of the fire.
