Androx didn't even try to hide his surprise. Then, knowing that the only thing that would disappear was a ghost, he reached out and poked the little flying man in the stomach. Wolf Sca

It appears to be a material creature, with skin as soft as mouse fur.

The fairy scurried to the back of Gabby's head in surprise, then peered at Androx from behind her hair. "Gabby, what is he doing?" he asked nervously.

"I just wanted to make sure you were real." He wanted to poke the fairy again and see what would happen.

"Okay, I'm serious!" You can ask Gabby. "Wolfsca

replied angrily.

Gabby said: "He's real. I know it. And, oh! Wolfsca

!Did you bring me something to eat?”

The fairy said: "Oh!" and flew into the air, flying around in circles, biting his fingertips. Then he landed on Gabby's shoulders and tried to hold her head. "I'm sorry! I'm looking for Less than. I'm really sorry Ga

bi. I'm sorry you're hurt because of hunger. I'll find some, I promise. "He sounded sad.

She grabbed him gently, pulled him to her chest, and flapped his wings. There was disappointment in her eyes, but she said: "It doesn't matter, wolfsca

. Do not be sad. I...I'm just not that hungry now. We'll be out soon. "

The fairy pushed her away and flew to her. He said: "I had to come back because of an owl. It almost caught me. Do you know where my sword is?"

Now, Androx had to see this. A flying little man with a sword? Gabby tapped his chin and started digging around in some dry bones. She pulled out a slender bone, long and thin, like a toothpick. "Here it is." The fairy pulled the zipper, grabbed it from her hand, held it out like a sword, and waved it as if in battle.

"Stupid owl! First I want this!" He swung a few times, "Then this!" He made a few stinging motions. "Then the eye," another stab, "the other eye! And then another. One knife, more determined.

Androx couldn't stand it anymore, and he laughed regardless of his surroundings. This is better than the monkeys and dogs taught by the river people to joust, or the singing parrots. So funny.

The fairy flew over and hovered in front of him, hands on hips and frowning. But as he looked at Androcles, considering his muscles and scars, the fairy lost her enthusiasm and began to look depressed. He dropped his sword, floated to the ground, and curled up into a ball, just like he had done earlier when Gabby cried. Gabby picked him up and held him like a baby, but he turned his head away from her and covered his eyes with his hands.

"Wolfsca

, what's wrong?" she asked.

"He's right to smile. I'll never be a hero. I'm too young. I should give up wolfsca

This name, call myself... Chongtu. he said in frustration, curling up into a ball.

Gabby was deeply moved by his predicament and frowned deeply. Between the two of them, they look pathetic enough to end a tragedy. One thing is for sure, though. There was no way Androx could catch up with them.

At this moment, he felt a little guilty for his smile, because he had an idea, and he said: "You gave up too easily." The fairy looked at him, not knowing how to answer. A

Okles continued: "So far you've been trying to keep her alive. But she's not out of here yet, is she?"

"You can do it yourself," he said. "I can't even lift a cat."

"No, but you can spy on the Cyclops, but I can't. Why don't you go see where it is and what it's doing?"

"You mean you want me to go take a look and then come back?" the fairy said disapprovingly.

"No, I want you to spy on it, be as stealthy as possible, like the hero Calphigitus, and then come back and tell me what it's doing so we can make a plan. You have to do this, don't Let it see you.”

Wolf Sca

I thought for a while and then patted Ga

bi's breasts and asked her: "Is this real? Is there a sneaky hero?"

"I think so, I mean, I think there might be. It sounds like there is," she said, thinking for a moment.

Wolf Scar jumped out of her hand and circled around her several times. Then he flew down, took up his sword, gave it a firm swing, and rushed out of the cave without a word.

Seconds later, he flew back and reported, "He's got a bunch of rocks! He's carrying them in like this," imitating a lumbering giant with considerable accuracy. A

Okles frowned. That doesn't sound like a good thing.

After a while they heard footsteps approaching, the sound deeper and louder than usual. It glanced into the pit, roared, and dropped a load of heavy rocks. Androclus grabbed his spear and stood between Gabi and Cyclops, wondering what would happen next.

The monster picked up a small stone in both hands and threw it into the pit. A

Okles shouted: "Oh, curse the gods!" and grabbed Galbi, who screamed. He got out of the way just in time and rolled past a rotting corpse, which he felt cracked open beneath him. He jumped Getting up, he hugged the girl to his chest. The Cyclops roared at him again, then picked up another boulder and threw it with incredible force.

A

The okles dodged again, but the boulder missed them because it missed its target. He realized that it actually made things harder. If the thing wasn't aimed well, he wouldn't know how to dodge it.

The next boulder came, and Anchorex concentrated on assessing where it would land, but even so, he barely dodged it because the girl slowed him down. Maybe taking her down and giving Cyclops two targets would increase their chances, but if she was hit, his oath to her was over.

Wolf Sca

Jumping back and forth, covering his mouth with his hands in horror, he let out a nervous scream. A

okles shouted: "How many more stones!" He mustered up his courage to face the next challenge. Wolf Sca

Staring at him dumbfounded, not understanding. "How many stones! Count them!" The fairy nodded, and then flew up to look. The Cyclops swiped at him, missed, and accidentally dropped a boulder, which rolled into the center of the pit. It was angry The ground howls, the wolf screeches

Backed away.

"One now!" cried the fairy.

The monster watched him carefully, and Ankerix gathered his courage. It held the rock above its head, waiting for the perfect moment. A

okles jumped a few times to keep his feet light. Holding a little girl to his chest wasn't very effective, but it helped him focus.

The monster grunted and shook the stone as if about to throw it. The ruse almost worked; thankfully, A

d

okles just flinched, not dived, otherwise he would have been an easy target while lying on the ground. The monster tried a few more times, but Androx was ready.

Then, with a roar, it threw the boulder with all its strength at an incredible speed. Before he could react, the boulder slammed into the dead horse, exploding it like a fresh pie and splattering rotting entrails everywhere. It gave a long, loud scream of rage, then turned and left the cave.

Androcles survived because of the Cyclops's inaccurate aim, but it was still considered survival. "Caught by crows!" he shouted after it. They really need to get out of there; if the creature comes back with more rocks, that might be it. He put Gabby down and put his hands on his knees to catch his breath. As his heart stopped pounding, he wiped the entrails from his face and arms in disgust.

Gabby stood there stiffly, looking blank and distant, looking past Angelus and seeing nothing. Then she slowly began to cry. She weakly raised her arms to touch her hair, pulling some of it away from her face, and then began to cry hysterically as she saw rotting entrails dripping from her hair.

Not knowing what to do, Androx looked at Wolfsca

Flying towards her, hovering in front of her, he himself looked distraught. The little fairy pleaded: "Gabby, you are okay! You are fine! You were not hit. Those courage and things are not yours!" She cried while looking past him and did not see him. The fairy flapped her nose desperately to get her attention and call her name, but she just turned her head and looked elsewhere.

When the fairy tried to pull her eyebrows to get her attention, she shouted, "Stop!" Then she collapsed into a ball and screamed over and over again. Shortly thereafter she fell completely silent.

Andrew carefully turned her over, making sure she was still alive. He touched her throat and saw that her heart was still beating, but she just stared, unwilling to meet his eyes or respond to his voice. Wolf Sca

He called her name desperately, trying to get her attention, but she still didn't respond. After a while, the fairy floated to the ground, looking confused and hurt. A few seconds later, he too was crying, his head tilted upwards, eyes closed.

Androx realized that the girl had finally broken. It was heartbreaking, and he had only known her for a few hours? She had been such a precious little thing. There was nothing he could do now but save her body and hope her soul would recover on its own. He had to do it now, before the Cyclops returned with more stones.

Androcles gently picked up the fairy and tucked him into his girdle. Then he picked up Galbi, who did not resist or react. He threw the spear back to the edge of the pit and stood back as far as he could, ready. He shouted, "Father of Oaths, give me the strength to keep my oath! Give me the strength to keep mine!" Adrenaline surged through his veins and he sprinted toward the far wall, Running up as high as he could, reaching for the lip at the top of the wall with his free arm.

He barely caught it and quickly threw Gabby over the edge, where he slipped and slid back down the wall. Then, with the confidence of experience, he ran, jumped, caught his lips with both hands, and pulled himself to freedom.

Wolf Sca

Managed to break away from A

okles belt, back in Ga

By my side, Ga

Bi was sitting on the ground, looking into the pit with a painful expression on his face. He repeated: "Gabby! Look! Let's get out! Princess, you're out! Please don't die. Please..."

Androcles took the girl in his arms, put the nymph on his shoulders, grabbed his spear, and rushed out of the cave into the almost impenetrable darkness. There were broad tracks of broken trees in all directions, but he could see no signs.

"Wolfsca

, can you make yourself smarter?"

"What?"

"I can't see clearly. Can you make yourself any smarter? I need to know which way to go."

"A little, I guess."

"Do it. Now!"

The fairy stood carefully on Ankerix's shoulders, holding on to his hair to keep it from falling. After a few seconds, the red light intensified, but not as much as Androll would have liked. "Is it enough?" the fairy asked after a while. "It's a lot harder than it looks."

"I guess that's it. Do you know which way to go from here? Have you seen it when you fly around?" Androx started to get nervous.

"Oh!" cried the fairy. Then he pointed, changed his mind, and finally put his fingertips into his mouth, chewing and thinking.

"Fly up and see if you can see it."

"But...what about the owl?"

Okles was about to tell him to pick up his eggs and act like a man, when he heard the Cyclops approaching. "It's okay. We're heading that way," he said, pointing in the opposite direction. He ran away. It's better to brave the noise and move quickly in case it actually smells them.

He chose to run where there were no broken trees, hoping to slow him down if he did give chase. Throughout the whole process, Gabi was completely expressionless and wolf-scaunted.

Often between her and A

Okles flew between her shoulders to check on her. A

Okles couldn't help but wonder if she would have survived without the horse's guts. Then it occurred to him that everything could smell them. While hiding from the Cyclops, the last thing he wants to see is another pack of hungry wolves.

The monster howled loudly somewhere behind him. It might have just noticed that he was missing. He stood still for a moment, trying to hear what it would do, and when he heard it begin to move in his direction, he quickened his pace, wondering where he found the strength. He quickened his pace again when he realized it was getting closer, its horn-like howl echoing through the night air. Oh my god, was it running at full speed, knocking down trees?

Then, to Androx's dismay, he ran into a wide clearing. There was nowhere to hide here, and there was no way he could run back into the woods without getting close to the Cyclops. He looked around desperately, weighing his options; he could try running all the way across the grass, but it would be hard to judge the distance without sunlight, at least without better moonlight. this will not work. He could try to hide, perhaps hiding himself behind a mound of dirt or in the tall grass... but he didn't have enough time. It's almost there.

He set the girl down and she sat like an invisible doll, her arms hanging at her sides. He said to her, "Let me show you whether Androcles is a man who keeps his oaths." But she did not look at him. He instructs the wolf to scab

Stay next to him to give him light, then ready his spear and prepare to charge at the monster. It's time to kill or die; there will be no more tricks.

He experienced a brief, strange moment of calm, during which he noticed the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the meadow. Unwilling to be distracted, he stared at the treeline, spear at the ready.

A healthy evergreen tree shattered in all directions when the monster discovered them.
