Following the mute boy, Nok finally found the source of water.
Nok was so excited that he lay down by the trickling stream, not caring about hygiene.
He picked up the stream water and drank until he was full.
The mute boy on the side also drank to his fill.
After the mute boy had filled his stomach, he hurried to Rannock and wanted to get out of here.
Nok was very puzzled.
But considering that this place is in the forest, although night has not yet come, the sky is dim,
Obviously not a place to stay for a long time.
However, Nock is a talented person and a bold person.
After drinking water, although he was still tired, he had at least regained a lot of strength.
He patted the little boy's hand and asked, "Do you want to eat meat?"
Meat?
Hearing this word, the boy's eyes widened and his throat couldn't help but beat.
Swallowing the saliva that almost drooled out, he couldn't help but look at Nok with shining eyes.
Looking at the child's eager and suspicious eyes, Nok couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't look at me like this, I am a very powerful adventurer. I am very good at hunting.
Come on, I'll take you hunting. You should be familiar with this place, right?
Do you know where the prey is? "
Hearing this, the boy nodded quickly, stood up, and pointed to the upper reaches of the stream.
"Huh? You mean above?"
The little boy nodded. Then he bared his teeth and made many strange movements.
Nok probably guessed what he meant.
"You mean, there are many ferocious and powerful beasts upstream that can eat people?"
The little boy nodded, admitting Nok's guess.
Nok reached out and touched the little boy's head and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I specialize in hunting man-eating beasts."
"Come, let's go, you lead the way."
After being well-hydrated, Nok regained a lot of strength.
So he picked up the little boy and let him sit in his arms.
But this hug made Nok couldn't help but feel sad.
The child looked to be four or five years old, maybe even six or seven.
But the weight is less than thirty kilograms. This is pure malnutrition.
The little boy who was picked up by Nok looked at the sudden heightening of his gaze in surprise.
Then, as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but blurred his eyes with tears.
But Nok, who was on his way, didn't notice anything strange about the child.
Walking in the forest, or the forest at dusk,
Nok needs to be extremely careful.
Not to mention the hungry beasts in the forest who are planning to come out for dinner.
Just one of those poisonous insects lurking in the forest would be enough for the little guy.
Unfortunately, Nok can't release defensive magic for the little guy now.
The only bad thing about light magic is that it's too conspicuous.
Especially in the dark, it is the most dazzling existence.
They are here to hunt and cannot scare away their prey in advance.
Soon, Nok, who was walking up the stream, found the end of the stream.
A lake with a diameter of more than ten meters wide.
Of course, this lake is not the source of the stream. The source is on the mountain next to the lake.
The water falls from above. It is said to be a waterfall. It is thinner than the trickle downstream. (Imagine being on the 30th floor and turning on the tap all the way downstairs)
But it fell continuously from the mountain into the lake, causing ripples.
When Nok discovered the lake, he didn't get any closer.
Although he judged that this place was probably an island and there should be no monsters or monsters,
But you never go too far wrong.
After all, this is just an inference based on the fact that the little boy was able to survive.
What if the Warcraft is smart enough to look down on this piece of ribs?
Nok held the little boy and observed it from a distance for a while, and found that there were many animals coming and going to drink water next to the lake.
There are many carnivores and herbivores among them.
Predators and food coexist peacefully, and there is no sign of killing.
The magic of nature always allows them to find a balance point.
After all, for wild animals, hunting is for survival, not for killing.
After eating and drinking enough, no hunter will waste his efforts trying to get his next meal.
Of course, there may also be higher beings who make rules for them.
But Nock thinks this is unlikely.
Nok has observed these animals. They are all ordinary beasts, not magical beasts.
Of course, it's also possible that there are monsters inside that Nok doesn't recognize.
After all, he is not a professional hunter, and his knowledge of wild beasts is only at the level of an ordinary person.
There are all kinds of strange species in the world.
There are even "animals" that walk upright and speak human words, namely the orcs.
The original Minotaur Ariadotos was one of the orcs.
Therefore, Nok didn't care how many beasts he knew.
He only cares about whether these beasts can eat them.
First, exclude carnivores.
The meat of carnivorous animals is basically woody or difficult to cook.
The meat of grass animals is more delicious.
With the two of them including Nok, there was no need for a big prey.
Soon, Nok zeroed in on a four-legged herbivore that looked a bit like a deer but had no horns.
Hanging in the distance was this herbivore jumping away from the water source.
Nok and the little boy were jumping around in the forest.
The little boy had never enjoyed this novel mobile experience.
If he hadn't remembered that they were still hunting, he would have screamed loudly.
But even though he had his hands around Nok's neck, his eyes were still full of excitement.
I wish I could jump down and jump around in the woods too.
After the herbivore was about a thousand meters away from the water source, Nok decisively pulled out the [Holy Light].
A single shot to the animal's head.
call out!
White light cut through the dim woods and hit the jumping herbivore.
It never dreamed that it would just drink enough water and walk happily on the way home.
If you're not careful, you'll get banged!
This is such a bully!
The lifeless herbivore fell from the air to the ground with a plop.
Nok then rushed to the body and lifted it up.
Huo, good guy, looks small in size, but heavy in weight.
Nok guessed that it was at least more than a hundred kilograms!
Nok grabbed the prey's hind legs and threw it on its back. Then he grabbed the prey with one hand and held the child with the other.
He quickly rushed out of the forest.
"Do you have a place to stay? In which direction, let's go back!"
Nok shouted to the little boy.
The little boy looked at the scene of rapid retreat. Maybe it was the weather, but he couldn't find his way home for a while.
He suddenly became anxious and shook Nok's head with a babbling sound.
Nok guessed that he couldn't see the way out,
So I thought about it and jumped directly to the top of the tree.
rustle!
The two broke through the leaves, jumped over the top of the tree, and jumped into the air.
Nok took the opportunity to shout: "Look, where is your home!"
The little boy looked at this scene in surprise, they actually flew up!
Well, for a little boy, this is considered flying.
But for Nok, he just used the tree to jump to a height of more than 20 meters above the ground.
However, this height was enough for Nok to take a quick look at his situation.
His judgment was correct, he was indeed on an island.
Under the night, in the distance is the dark sea.
However, he made a new discovery.
He found fire in the northern part of the island!
There are still many fires!
It means that besides him and the little boy, there might be a village on this island.
"Is that over there? There's fire over there!"
Nok, who was falling, looked at the fire in the north and asked the little boy.
Unexpectedly, the little boy suddenly became anxious and waved his hands repeatedly, pointing to the north and waving his hands crazily in front of Nok's eyes.
Then he pointed to the east of the island and motioned for Nok to go there.
Although Nok didn't know why the little boy was so resistant to the north, he considered that he saved his life.
Knock gave up on taking the boy north.
"Shield of Glory!"
"Holy coffin!"
"Holy Impact!"
Nok put the holy coffin on himself and the little boy, released the radiant shield under his feet, and stepped on it.
Then using the sacred impact, Nok and the two actually started gliding on the top of the forest.
Of course, the arrogance of the two Nocs also angered the beings in the forest.
A huge anaconda rushed out of the tree canopy with its mouth wide open and bit Nok and the two of them.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The little boy screamed in horror and slapped Nok's shoulders crazily, his eyes were frightened.
But Nok smiled and jumped up, stepping on the Radiant Shield, and stepped on the anaconda's upper jaw.
"Get down here!"
boom!
The anaconda, which was estimated to be over a hundred meters long, was stepped into the forest by Nok.
Many trees were broken.
But Nok playfully released spells in the air.
"Shield Exhibition·Glorious Wings!"
Nok, who was so blessed, stretched the radiant shields and formed a pair of luminous wings on his body.
Although these wings cannot flap, they can fly with Nok.
But he was able to glide through the air with Nok!
"Holy Holy Spray!"
Nok released the compressed "Holy Impact" and actually took the little boy flying quickly in the air towards the east of the island.
However, Nok's arrogant behavior also attracted the attention of others on the island.
Someone caught the scene of them gliding. Of course, due to the distance,
No one saw clearly that it was two people and thought it was some kind of monster.
On the north shore of the island, there is an open space close to the coast.
Several ugly wooden houses were erected.
It is said to be a wooden house, but in fact it is just a few pillars buried in the soil.
Then the branches were tied randomly with straw ropes, and then the walls were made of mud.
No one lives in such a house in the poorest rural areas.
But here is where their leader lives.
This is a survivor camp.
There were nearly twenty survivors in the camp.
Most of them are elderly men, including fourteen men and five women.
Most of the men were wearing tattered clothes and a bit of animal skin.
On their feet were shoes made of animal skins and bark.
The woman is naked, without any covering.
In this season of early winter, it is simply incredible.
But even if they were shivering with cold, they could only sit around the fire,
Working hard to cook tonight's food for the men.
Food was found by the men, who were responsible for camp security and finding food.
Women were responsible for cooking food, making clothes for men, and serving as entertainment toys for them in the evening.
They are all survivors on a certain merchant ship.
The men who survived were either guards on merchant ships, sailors, or even slaves.
The women who survived were originally the wives and daughters of noble ladies or businessmen.
But after the merchant ship encountered a shipwreck,
Survivors living on a desert island formed a survivor camp here.
Thanks to a slave who could build earthen houses, more than fifty survivors had a roof over their heads.
However, the high-ranking nobles forgot that they were in trouble,
Not only did they not participate in finding food to help with the work,
Instead, they beat and scolded those who worked hard.
This situation lasted for less than a week before things changed in the camp.
A guard cut down his master and brought along the crew and slaves who were willing to resist,
All the nobles were arrested.
All the nobles and businessmen were executed by them.
Women were threatened and raped by them.
Women who were willing to become their playthings were given food and a certain amount of freedom.
Those who are unwilling will be imprisoned by them and become a tool to vent their anger.
As for the child, he was initially detained with the woman.
However, when the first guard died in the forest, the frightened man no longer dared to hunt in the forest.
They can only go to the sea to fish, and even go to the beach to pick up stranded seafood at low tide.
Then there won't be enough food.
So, two weeks after the death, these survivors transformed into demons,
They treated the surviving children as food.
Now, the women are going crazy, and even some men can't stand it.
So, one night, the survivors, dissatisfied with the feeding of children, rioted.
They attacked the group of cannibal demons, but due to lack of food, they were exhausted.
Failed.
But they also released imprisoned women and children.
Except for the women who stayed behind willingly, the remaining women hid in various places on the island.
However, they underestimated the ruthlessness of those demons.
They dare not take action against the beasts in the forest.
But like a ghost, he searched around for the escaped woman.
They found the women and children who had escaped one by one, killed them and made them into food.
Of course, more women and children died in the wild because they had no experience in surviving in the wild.
The little boy's mother is one of the survivors.
The little boy's mother was smarter and did not hide near the camp.
Instead, he went through the woods with a simple adventure.
I don’t know if they were lucky or something, but they found a valley on the east coast,
An abandoned cave was also discovered in the valley.
So, the little boy's mother hid in a cave and lived for a while.
He survived by collecting wild fruits.
But there are always times when God’s favor is negligent.
One day, the mother accidentally ate poisonous wild fruit and collapsed.
He persisted for three days and then died.
Knowing that she would die soon, the mother explained some of her child's aftermath.
I left the world with worries.
The boy buried his mother with stones deep in the cave.
Relying on strength and luck, I survived alone on this dangerous desert island for a long, long time.
The little boy couldn't count exactly how long it was, maybe he couldn't count.
It was also a coincidence that he appeared in the south of the island today.
