Time passed silently, as if the forgotten people of the world had turned into stars falling from the night sky. Barca had already fallen asleep. Barno took off his coat and covered the little guy who could still sleep peacefully without knowing the situation. Then, he waited alone. However, the scene he had expected never happened. The ferocious beasts stepped over their heads, but they did not notice them. He knew how terrifying those guys hiding in the depths of the forest were. After all, he seemed so useless when facing them.
Baron lowered his head, his black hair falling to hide his fragility. It had already been at least six to eight hours, but his father and the others had yet to appear. What was going on? He had thought that they would be able to see his father and the others return soon after they arrived here. He knew that his father's power was not just limited to his mechanism skills. Moreover, with Uncle Hill's cooperation, those ferocious beasts should not be their match, but why haven't they appeared yet?
Baron's calm heart suddenly began to change. The originally calm sea began to surge with a small storm. No way…Baron returned to his meditative state. His father had told him the most, that no matter what he faced, he should not let his heart be in a mess. If his heart was in a mess, he would not be far from failure.
Baron took a few deep breaths and slowly let it out through his nose. Calm down, calm down, he kept chanting in his heart. Suddenly, a faint murmur reached his ears.
" Candle..." Baron looked towards the source of the voice. It was Kaka. His current appearance was really funny. Barca lay on the rattan ground, curled up into a ball. Baron's coat, which was originally covering him, was now kicked to the side. His left palm was facing upwards, his right hand was on his left wrist, and his mouth was constantly exhaling air." Candle…" he said in a low voice.
"Big brother." Barca's soft voice rang in his ears again. Baron looked helplessly at Barca, who was still immersed in his dreams, but Barca's voice in the next second made him panic." Brother! " Let's go, Uncle Hill. He, there's so much blood. Dad, Dad, he…" Bakar cried. His eyes kept trembling, but he never opened them. Not long after, Bacca slowly stopped shouting and stopped making any sounds. He slowly returned to his original sleeping position.
Baron could no longer calm down. Chaotic emotions surged into his exhausted brain. How could something have happened to his father and the others? How could that be? He kept shouting in his heart. He resumed his squatting posture and began to meditate, but he could not enter the original state. His originally calm heart was inexplicably chaotic. Damn it! He wanted to shout with all his strength.
No, I still have to go and take a look! Baron was still worried. He quickly got up and covered Barca with his clothes again, then returned from the original passage. 'I have to go back and take a look.' He kept shouting in his heart.'I have to go back and take a look!'
However, what Baron didn't notice when he left the passage was that Barca suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his back as he left. His lifeless eyes flickered with a strange light.
……
Can't open it? Barno frowned. He had already returned to the stairs, but when he tried to open the door, he found that he could not. The heavy pressure told him that their home was gone. However, this was not enough to make him sad. After all, they had built too many so-called homes. Those were only one or two houses. However, he could relate this to the horror of the Beast Tide. Generally speaking, the Beast Tide would not damage the buildings. What they wanted was food. Was it because of the egg stone? Could it be that his father and the others were really in danger? Barno loosened his grip on the wooden plank. With such a weight, he could not open it. He had to think of a way to leave this place.
He closed his eyes and recalled that there should be another exit to the training ground. Uncle Hill had mentioned it before, but his father had never told him. Should he go and look for it? Baron touched the wooden board on his head. It seemed that this was the only way. So he didn't delay any longer and immediately went back the way he came. Bacca should be waking up soon. He thought that he had to hurry up and find if there was really another exit.
Barno quickly passed through the dark passage and arrived at the training ground. The sky seemed to have brightened, or perhaps he had been in the dark space for too long. He felt that the light from the outside world was very dazzling. When he came back to his senses from the light, he was stunned, but his face remained calm. Bakar was gone! Along with the coat that he used to keep Bacca warm as a blanket. "Kaka!" As he shouted, he realized that there was no place to hide in the training ground, and Bacca had no reason to hide from him. Then…He looked around and soon found a place with obvious signs of soil loosening. Beside that mark, there was a stone that was relatively round compared to the other stones. It seemed to be this!
Baron lifted a foot and stepped on it lightly. The soil in front of him suddenly began to loosen and gradually fell down. Behind the mud was a stone door. How did his father do it? Baron wondered. It seemed that every time he left this place, he would extract some soil from the surface to cover this stone door. The mechanism would not work for no reason. It seemed that his father had set up an energy supply here, which meant that…he suddenly thought of something else.
How did Kaka discover this place? As Baron thought about it, he pushed open the stone door and entered. As expected, after the stone door closed automatically, the sound of gears turning could be heard from the other side. The most important thing now was to find Kaka. Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the principle of the mechanism. He turned around and ran toward the exit.
Soon, he ran to the end. This passage was similar to the one they came in through. They both had the same stairs and long secret passages. It's really unbelievable." Baron thought as he climbed up the stairs. Soon, he saw the exit, and there were already traces of it being opened! As expected? Baron's eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened the exit and jumped up agilely.
However, what he saw after he went up was unforgettable: Uncle Hill was holding the egg stone that had been removed from the outer layer and had obviously become smaller. He was leaning against an old tree. His body was covered in ferocious cracks as if he had passed through a mountain of blades. Many of the wounds were obvious bites and scratches of wild beasts. The new clothes that he had changed into for the Lantern Festival were already in tatters, and the blood at the corner of his mouth and all over his body that had coagulated proved that he had come here with great difficulty after being injured. His eyes were already closed forever, but the egg stone was still tightly held in his arms. Barno also saw the missing Barca. He stood in front of Uncle Hill, as if frozen. His hands were spread open and hung weakly on both sides, and the coat he had covered him with fell beside him. He did not fall, but his eyes told Barno that he had lost consciousness and fainted.
Baron suddenly felt his eyes turn moist, and the scene in front of him became a little blurry. He knew what he had missed, and this miss was a lifetime!
