The fact that the monster can appear here means that it has the ability to track. Maybe it's through smell, maybe it's something else.
Gradually, both of them showed expressions of fear and anxiety. In the current situation, there are really jackals in front, tigers and leopards behind, and there are injuries on the body.
"Can you walk?" Chen Xing faced Aaliya and said with some difficulty, "I will help you walk."
Aaliyah shook her head, with a trace of despair in her ruby eyes.
Chen Xing looked at her and then at the luggage on the ground, feeling powerless. In his current situation, he can no longer take care of both his luggage and Aaliyah. But no luggage means no dry food, no tents and bedding.
But he was a man of three generations and was used to seeing wind and waves. He quickly made a choice, squatted down and said to Aaliyah, "Come up."
Aaliya obediently lay down, and Chen Xing raised his feet and walked away without any nostalgia for the luggage behind him. As the saying goes, if you continue to make decisions, you will suffer chaos. The more dangerous it is, the more decisive you must be.
"Thank you." Aaliya stretched her head, lay on his shoulder, and whispered.
"We are companions." Chen Xing said, then he vigorously lifted Aaliyah behind him and walked forward. It's not that he doesn't want to escape alone, but that he is afraid that the other party will have a back-up plan and kill him with one knife. Furthermore, he had eaten so much tofu that he couldn’t give it up.
Since there is no way to throw away this tarnishing bottle, it is better to say something nice to win the favor of the other party. Although it doesn't mean much, it's better than nothing.
After more than twenty minutes, they found a creek and followed it down to eliminate the smell and escape tracking.
Chen Xing was dripping with water, and the walking became more and more difficult. He only felt that his legs were weak and weak, and he would kneel down at any time.
"I am the princess of Ice Blue City..."
Aaliyah's slightly tired voice suddenly came from behind. She spoke very quietly, as fine as a gossamer, and you couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. The princess of Ice Blue City was the princess of the Malan royal family, and her status was supreme. But then again, the most important thing for the Malan royal family is a princess and a prince. Then he smiled and asked, "Then, should I call you His Highness?"
Aaliyah ignored his teasing and said to herself, "My mother is the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Nois in the Western Continent and the queen of Ice Blue City, Trilis..."
Chen Xing didn't interrupt anymore and listened silently. He knew that the reason Aaliyah said this to him was to distract him and make him temporarily forget his tiredness.
In Aaliyah's story, Trilis has loved excitement, adventure, dancing with guns and swords since she was a child, and she leads the knights around all day long.
However, during an exploration of world fragments, Trilis was unfortunately captured by a dying three-headed balrog and was violated for several months.
Finally, the Balrog died and she was free. After returning, in order to hide her from others, she married the third prince of the Malan royal family under the arrangement of the king.
And five months after the wedding, Trilis gave birth to Aaliyah. However, both the time of pregnancy and the color of Aaliyah's eyes were a slap in the face of the Malan royal family.
In order to save the face of the royal family and to gain future rights, Triris asked her personal maid to take Aaliya out of the palace and drown her in the Princess Lake. But in the end, her maid couldn't bear to throw the newborn princess into the lake, so she took her away from Ice Blue City and hid in Longtail City in Black Feather Principality.
From then on, the maid kept her name anonymous and raised Aaliyah. Until Aaliyah was fifteen years old, a fire destroyed their home and took the life of the maid.
Because Aaliyah has the blood of the Balrog and is not afraid of fire, she was not burned to death. Later, after her investigation, she found out that the person who did this was the spy sent by her biological mother, Queen Cuilis of the Ice Blue City.
After that, in order to avoid the Queen's pursuit, she had to hide in Tibet, and finally fled to Orchid Town in the Red Dragon Principality, and started a gun shop business.
"When I eat this 'Heart of the Dark Demon', I won't have to be afraid of that bitch anymore!" Aaliyah said bitterly, "I will dig out her heart and liver and use it as a memorial to my adoptive mother!"
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but frowned. In his memory, in three years' time, Queen Triris of the Ice Blue City would launch the "May Coup", kill her husband, and ascend the throne as the Queen of the Ambergris United Kingdom.
This is an open secret, and no one in the kingdom knows it. The strange thing is that both the Malan royal family and the nobles, big and small, all acquiesced to this result, as if it had been agreed in advance.
However, Chen Xing's status is too low. He only listens to things at this level as news. To put it in a simple and crude way, he has nothing to do with him.
I didn't expect that in this life, in this dark forest, I could still hear the secrets of the palace. I don't know if it's luck or unlucky.
Aaliyah is going to find trouble with Trilis, and I'm afraid it will be a fight between a dragon and a tiger. It would be better for him to stay far away and see nothing and hear nothing.
In the midst of his thoughts, Chen Xing's feet suddenly softened and he fell directly into the water with a "plop". He struggled for a while before climbing out of the creek, and then dragged Aaliya to the shore.
Unknowingly, his physical strength had reached its limit, and he felt weak even if he moved a finger.
The two of them were wet, and the weather was getting colder again, making them very uncomfortable. Chen Xing picked up some twigs, built a bonfire, took off his coat, and warmed himself by the fire.
Turning around to look, Aaliyah was lowering her head, wondering what she was thinking.
Triris has always been known for her cruelty and cruelty. She is known as the "Bloody Queen" in private. She has turned the United Kingdom into a dictatorship and built a prison called "The Blood Castle". The methods are extremely cruel. It is said that in the first few years after Blood Castle was established, painful wails could be heard every day.
In addition, Trilis also created several types of torture, the most famous of which are "ant torture" and "intestine torture." In the former, syrup is poured in, the chest and abdomen are cut open, and then it is packed in a large urn with small holes cut underneath, and the liquid is infused while being put into the ant nest. The ants crawled in through the holes and gnawed away from the inside out, and it took several days for the victim to die. The latter method involves making a small opening in the stomach, extracting the intestines bit by bit, and hanging them in front of the victim, like a curtain. Finally, an electric current is passed through, which is extremely cruel.
It is a tragedy to have a mother like this. But like mother, like daughter, and Aaliyah was no better.
Not long ago, she tried to send him on his way with a bag of ashes. If he hadn't been alert, he might have been in the stomach of a mutant creature by now.
However, facing such a poignant story, he couldn't help but express his feelings, so he patted Aaliyah on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's been really difficult for you for so many years, come on."
Aaliyah raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she was so touching. She suddenly said "Wow" and threw herself on him and started crying.
"Uuuuuuuu, I am her daughter, how could she treat me like this..."
Chen Xing stroked her back gently to express comfort, but he cursed in his heart: "I am still your companion. If you don't still want to kill me, you deserve it!"
