Magical Adventure Book

[Chapter 8-2] From Escape to Escape

Yeah, you guys are right. I managed to survive again. Not one less thing, even though my body was popping up again blisters.

If you ask me how I survived, it's hard to tell.

How not? Bleki, the friend I just got had to die horribly crushed by a super-large rock from the top of a mountain.

Aye, right. Bleki is the name of the dark horse I rode yesterday. Tragically, he I only gave his name after a terrible death, and I can no longer ride.

At that time in the canyon, not knowing because of luck or what, when the big stone was only a few meters left until it hit us, the front foot of Bleki stumbled on a stone that had first fallen. He automatically toppled over, while I was riding him, slammed and rolled far forward. Congratulations from the ruins of the stone, which ended just half a step from where I fell.

Damn it, Yenz!

If only he could be more patient, and throw that dynamite after we aligned, my Blekiku would not have to lose a life!

"Aren't you angry anymore?" ask Yenz. Disperse my reverie.

Oh yeah, because I don't have any more mounts, Yenz is finally piggybacking on me now.

After the rock slide was over, she came back - clearly with a face with no guilt at all - and told me to ride on her brown horse. We came out of the canyon that was no longer shaped, accompanied by a series of shots from bandits who stood guard on the rock mountain. Thankfully, nothing hit.

"You're supposed to throw that dynamite after we're level! When I can catch up with you!" my snapping.

"Oh my God, did I not say from last night, only at that point, the explosion of dynamite will be powerful to tear down the rock. I just didn't know the effect would propagate like that." I snorted loudly at his explanation, which had been repeated for the umpteenth time. "But believe me, I did it because I knew you could survive from there. Aren't you very good at riding. Of course a little thing like that doesn't matter, does it."

Know where sia? But yeah, there's a point too. Such a ruin is indeed not a big thing for me. Maybe the matter of Bleki was also due to his reckless miscalculation. It can still be forgiven. It's all for our good, too.

However, there is one thing that has stuck since yesterday - from the moment in the hut - has appeared.

"All right then. I believe in you" I said, "but how do you know about all that?"

The thin red-lipped man turned his head with raised eyebrows. "Know about what?" askalanya.

"That's .. from the shack. About that bag of dynamite, guns, up in the canyon you're sure you told me about the explosion's potent point?"

Hearing my question, he somehow laughed out loud. Just for a moment, before saying, "Yes obviously I know, because I am also a member of the Borex desert bandits."

Soaring I heard his explanation. Almost fell from the stern of the horse, if only he had not caught and pulled my shirt.

"Hahaha. I'm not like them. I'm a former bandit."

"Ja-so that's why you're locked up?"

"One of them. I haven't been with them long. One or two months." Yenz took the leather drinking bag from inside the bag. After gulping him down, he swished at me. "After that there was a cross opinion, which made me arrested by them. It doesn't matter either, because from the beginning I didn't plan on joining the desert bandits for long."

I pondered for a moment to hear his explanation, while closing the drinking bottle back in hand.

"Then, that escape you had planned before. Since I joined them?"

"Hahaha .. actually it's just a backup plan. Supposedly, from a week ago I escaped, after robbing the residence of the Noble Jose. But fate says something else. And, here we are."

I handed him back the bottle. "Why did you join them? I see you're not such a bad guy. The king, yes. But evil is not."

"That's a compliment or a real reproach?" Yenz smiled slightly. "You could say, I'm just using them for some important business."

"Jeli is also your vision, Marg." He had a short forced laugh. "Yes, but don't ask any further. Once in the city of Lapalasa later, we will part ways. So, there's no point in you knowing that either."

Yeah, well, but I'm still curious. What good is that wooden box? What is sentimental value? But if only that, what was his struggle to be a prisoner of the bandits was appropriate?

"Today we'll just stop there." Yenz pointed to a large stone hill shaped like an umbrella mushroom. "As far as I know, not much further away, we're about to enter the territory of adult-sized lizards. Ferocious carnivorous monsters, which love to prey on humans."

"Eh .. Are you serious!?" I was wide awake to hear it.

Yenz chuckled, before saying, "Yes, I'm serious. But, you take it easy, they usually only come out at night. So if you now spend the night there, we do not need to be forced to meet the lizard on the way, because it may have to enter their territory at the beginning of the afternoon."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard it. Aman means. Screaming me if you imagine having to be eaten alive by a bunch of lizard monsters.

And finally! I can lay my body under the shadow of a mushroom-shaped rock. The stretch of sand that becomes the base does feel hot, but better than the back pain, because it is on the back of a horse all day.

Some jerky kerat we eat to just block the stomach. Not enough anyway, but as Yenz said, we have to save money, because we do not know what will be ahead later.

Likewise with water. Like the initial agreement, we should only drink a sip at every opportunity. Ah, if only there was an oasis, of course this break would be more enjoyable.

Because of the drinking problem, I had a little fuss with him. You see, a little unintentionally, I nosedived more than the deal.

Very caring. I'm thirsty!

Anyway, not far from us there is also a large cactus that can drink water. Why didn't he take the water from the thorny plant?

He smiled cynically, with the addition of giggling laughter, as I expressed those thoughts.

Whether true or not, he said that the cactus was the last choice if it was desperate when thirst. And, a large cactus not far from us, is not the kind that the water can take.

Don't know what he didn't say. I can only believe it, because it looks like he knows better how to live in the desert.

We continued to rest after that little debate. But, shortly thereafter, I got a whisper of nature. Forcing me to wake up while in a wuenak position, to rush to pour natural warm water from the source.

I ran around and headed back to where we rested. Step over to Yenz, who is sleeping on her back, with both hands folded. Make the palm as a cushion.

Ah ... Good also turned out to pee in the open. Can freely direct it anywhere, and it can be done while looking at the wild. An expanse of dull sand, scorching sunlight, some cactus plants, and even a speck of sand on the horizon.

Relieved already, after the hajat completed the time kem ....

A moment! The sand seemed abnormal.

I ran as hard as I could, and immediately stomped on Yenz's slim body, in order to wake up immediately. For the sake of being able to ask the strange phenomenon that is approaching us.

"What the hell? If you want to eat the cactus, do it yourself!" yenz. Sleeked in his bed.

"Not that! You see there! Is the sand puff normal, huh!?" my snapping. Patting hard on his shoulders.

Yenz jerked his body until he sat down. Making the cowboy hat he put on his chest - covering his sling bag - fall on his back on the sandy soil. His eyes that had been closed immediately widened wide to look at my finger pointing.

"Where might ...," his his hiss, which then rose as he panicked, "That's a horde of lizards!"
