Chapter 88: Abalu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Qi and Yu Meng watched as Luther and the Dark King left. When they came back to their senses, they realized that there were alone together.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Yu Meng rolled her eyes at Lin Qi as if she was blaming him. “You Idiot, you only realized it now?”
Yu Meng walked to a big tree stump and sat down. It was September, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was very big. Yu Meng came out in a hurry and did not bring any other clothes. She just sat with her arms crossed.
She saw Lin Qi slowly walking over and raised her face to say to him, “I’m cold!”
Lin Qi was a little puzzled at first. ‘So what if she’s cold? How would saying it aloud make a difference?’
“Oh… Ah…” He finally reacted and hurriedly took off his coat to put it on Yu Meng.
Yu Meng’s expression softened slightly. “You’re not too stupid.”
Lin Qi was about to say something when Yu meng changed the topic.
“Do you think… They would come back safely?” The temperature was too low, and white mist spurted out of Yu Meng’s mouth as she spoke.
Lin Qi looked at the direction where Luther and the Dark King had gone. After a while, he said firmly, “They will definitely come back.”
Yu Meng looked at Lin Qi’s side profile and thought to herself, ‘At this moment… He looks quite handsome!’
She leaned her head gently on Lin Qi’s shoulder.
The moment Lin Qi sensed Yu Meng leaning her head on his shoulder, he froze and did not dare to move.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something.
Yu Meng spoke first. “Don’t speak!”
“… Oh!”
Since she was leaning on his shoulder, she could do whatever she wanted.
Time gradually passed in the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. The sky was clear, there was no wind, no sound, and no accidents.
The two of them enjoyed a moment of peace in such an environment.
Lin Qi roughly calculated the time. After so long, there was still no sound of fighting. It seemed that their side should be safe.
After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of running, and Yu Meng had also heard it. The two of them stood up instantly. Lin Qi took out the Explosive Beef Meatball from the system, and Yu Meng took out her magic staff.
The sound of running was getting closer and closer to the two of them. Lin Qi’s palms were slightly sweaty, and then a huge figure rushed out from the darkness. Lin Qi looked closely and saw that it was the Dark King.
There was something on his back, and from afar, it seemed to be a person.
Seeing that scene, Lin Qi’s heart tightened. Could it be that something had happened to Luther?
He rushed forward and took a closer look. It was not Luther!
Lin Qi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was an orc.
The Dark King flipped over and threw the orc to the ground. Lin Qi and Yu Meng walked forward. They checked and found that the orc was still alive. When they looked down, Lin Qi’s heart tightened.
His body was full of wounds. The blood on his clothes had solidified. The most important thing was that one of his arms was missing. Blood was still oozing out.
Yu Meng quickly cast an ice spell to freeze the wound.
“It’s Abalu.” Yu Meng recognized the orc.
“Do you know him?” Lin Qi turned his head to look at Yu Meng.
“Yes, I’ve seen him before.” Yu Meng looked at Lin Qi’s puzzled gaze and explained, “He is the most powerful warrior of the Bru tribe. So, in order to practice intermediate magic, I have sparred with him a few times.”
Lin Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He thought there was something between her and that orc?
Yu Meng looked at him as if he had lost his mind. What was in his head?
..
At that moment, Luther ran out, panting. There was a little blood on his clothes.
Seeing that, Lin Qi rushed up. “Are you okay? Did you guys get attacked?”
“Ah?” Luther was stunned at first, then he found the blood on his clothes. He pointed at Abalu and said, “Oh, I’m okay. It’s his blood.”
“It’s good that you’re okay.” Lin Qi patted his chest. “Then how did you guys meet him?”
“Wait a minute, let me catch my breath.” Luther walked to the broken tree, drank some water, and slowly told them what had happened.
..
Luther walked nervously with the hilt of his sword in his left hand, ready for a sudden attack.
The Dark King followed him in the forest not far away, almost blending into the surrounding darkness.
They walked for a long time without encountering anything dangerous. They were almost at the camp.
Luther was still a little annoyed. It seemed that he could not lure the creature out.
Suddenly, a sound came from the right. It sounded as if something was running at a high speed.
Luther’s hair stood on end. He took a step back to the left and drew his sword. With both hands on the hilt, he aimed in the direction of the sound.
He could feel that the other party was getting closer and closer to him. The Dark King was lying in ambush not too far away, ready to rush out and deal a fatal blow to the other party at any moment.
Luther heard that the other party was about to rush out and raised his sword high. Then… He saw a wild boar running out from the bushes.
Luther could not help but be speechless. He used his sword as a bundle and gave the wild boar a whack.
He had just heaved a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead when a huge figure suddenly rushed into Luther’s arms and caused them to fall into a heap on the ground.
The Dark King instantly rushed over and pushed Luther’s body away.
Luther rolled and stood up. He raised his greatsword and was about to stab at the other party, but he suddenly realized it was an orc.
Luther had lived in the Bru tribe for a long time and knew Abalu. He had sparred with the other before.
He quickly pulled the Dark King back and told it that it was one of the missing orcs.
The Dark King asked Luther to wait for a while while he ran in the direction where Abalu came from to see if there were any pursuers,
Soon, the Dark King came back. It shook its head in the face of Luther’s puzzled gaze.
Therefore, after a simple discussion, they decided to let the Dark King carry Abalu and quickly run back to find Lin Qi.
After hearing Luther’s story, Lin Qi and Yu Meng turned to look at the Dark King.
The Dark King was scared. “What are you looking at?”
Lin Qi asked speechlessly, “Did you knock him out?”
“… Ah, what’s wrong? I didn’t know he was an orc. He knocked Luther out. Don’t tell me I was supposed to stand there watching it happen. You…”
Lin Qi waved his hand. He knew that the Dark King was not at fault. After all, it was dark, and no one knew who it was.
He took out a large piece of steak and placed it in front of the Dark King to express his gratitude.
Only then did the Dark King stop nagging.
Lin Qi and the other two decided to treat Abalu in the camp first.
Then, as long as Abalu could wake up, they would know what had happened in the past few days and where the other missing orcs had gone.
The three of them carried Abalu onto the Dark King and ran towards the camp.
Not long after they left, a figure walked out from the darkness.. It looked at the blood on the ground and then at the direction where Lin Qi and the others had left, revealing a ferocious smile.
