Chapters 1838.
"I don't know. After all, the insect was definitely not that simple. They eat humans. See how the soul hunter is eaten and turned into white bone in a second hitunga!"
Gerald said in retrospect.
Now that Gerald mentioned it, Juno and the other two immediately goosebumps. There was no denying that what they had just witnessed was indeed extremely terrifying.
The living humans had turned into a pile of white bones. That's really terrible. Fortunately, they were finally out of danger. At that moment, Rey regained consciousness.
"Rey, you're awake."
Seeing Rey awake, Gerald looked at her and said.
"Sister Gerald, Miss Zorn, I... Are we dead?"
Rey asked puzzledly as she looked at Gerald and Juno.
Slap on!
When Gerald heard that, he slapped Rey on the back of his head, feeling somewhat annoyed.
"What are you talking about?! We are all alive and well! Realize already!"
Gerald glared at Rey and said word for word. From there, Rey was completely conscious.
"That's great, Brother Gerald! We're fine now. That's so awesome!"
As soon as he regains consciousness and knows that he is fine, Rey hugs Gerald tightly while screaming in excitement.
He was scared to death because he had fallen from such a high place. That was why he fainted, thinking he would just die. But now that he knew he was fine, he was overjoyed.
"Can you be more like an adult? Why are you acting like a little girl when you are actually an adult? You're not even as brave as Yrsa!"
Gerald reprimanded him with an annoyed expression on his face.
"Look at Juno's student, Yrsa. He's doing fine! He did not even show the slightest bit of fear and was very calm. On the other hand, look at Rey. The difference between the two is very clear."
"Mr..."
When Rey is criticized by Gerald, she becomes embarrassed. Yrsa and Juno, who were sitting beside them, noticed and sneered.
"By the way, Brother Gerald, why did the wooden bridge break?"
Now, Rey looked at Gerald confusedly and asked.
"Because there were too many people on the bridge earlier. That's why the structure of the bridge is weakened. In addition, both ends of the bridge were hit by rocks, and that is why the bridge was broken!"
Gerald explained briefly.
"After all, we should consider ourselves lucky. If it wasn't for that, we'd be stuck on a bridge and end up being insect food!"
Gerald did not forget to emphasize that. Indeed, they had nowhere to escape back then.
If the wooden bridge is not broken, Gerald and the other three must confront the man-eating insects, and they may have turned into white bones, like the soul hunters.
"Then, what should we do next?" Rey kept asking.
"We will rest for a while, and then we will continue our journey. There must be another route through this place!" Gerald said directly.
Hearing what he said, Rey and the girls did not mind. They always follow Gerald's orders. After all, they could only be safe when they were with Gerald.
After half an hour of rest, the four of them left again. But this time, it was better because they ended up getting rid of the soul hunters.
That way, there would be no obstacles in front of them. They wondered what happened to the cloaked man and his men.
Chapters 1839.
The four left again. The path they took was considered easy as it was flat ground, so there was no danger.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gerald and his friends looked for a place to rest. Just at that moment, a light caught their attention.
"Brother Gerald, look! There's home!"
Rey had sharp eyes, so she immediately looked at him and shouted at Gerald.
Gerald and the girls looked in the designated direction. Sure enough, it was a house, and there was smoke coming out of the chimney. This surprised them so much.
They never thought that there would be someone living in the deep forest. That's kind of hard to believe.
Without hesitation, they walked towards the house that was at the bottom of the valley. By the time they got there, it was already very dark.
Knock it! Knock it! Knock it!
Gerald stood at the door and knocked. After a while, the wooden door opened. When the door opened, an old man appeared in front of them.
"Old man, can you let us spend the night at your place?"
Gerald smiled and asked the old man. The old man glanced at Gerald and looked at Juno and Yrsa, who were behind Gerald. Only then did he nod gently.
"Sure, comein!"
Therefore, Gerald and the other three entered the house with the old man. They did not forget to close the door properly.
Gerald and the others were very happy. They were worried that the old man might not agree to let them in now. Once inside, the four of them entered the room.
"Please sit!"
The old man took out four chairs for them, and they sat down.
"Thank you, old man!"
Gerald smiled and thanked the old man quickly. Hearing what Gerald said, the other three quickly thanked the old man as well.
"You haven't eaten, have you?"
The old man did not care about their thanks and instead asked them calmly.
Hearing his words, Gerald and his friends nodded with a hint of embarrassment. They were indeed very hungry, and they had not eaten anything for an entire day.
Then, the old man served them food and tea.
"Nothing is good, just this dish. You can have it!"
The old man said to them while serving food on the table.
"It's okay, old man. We are very grateful for the food you gave us" Gerald said immediately.
It was good enough that he was willing to give them food. They would not dare to be picky.
Soon, they started eating. Because they are so hungry, everything feels so good. After eating the food, they were finally full.
"Babes!"
Rey acted as usual, letting out a long burp as she was full.
"Old man, why are you living here alone?"
Gerald asked the old man.
The old man was working on something while sitting down. He seemed to be weaving something with bamboo.
"I've been living here since I was young!"
The old man gave Gerald a simple answer.
"How shall we call you, old man?" Ask Gerald.
