Chapter 36 Burning Corpse

With the help of gestures, Joan finally made the gray bag beast understand his question. To his relief, Gray gave an affirmative answer.

"We have to throw the lizardman's body into the fire and burn it clean, so as not to leave clues for more hunters. In addition, this place can't stay anymore. You have to change your residence in the future, preferably away from the lizardman tribe. "Joan told Gray, and threw the lizardman shaman's leather pouch into the flames.

Gray nodded half-comprehensively, followed Joan's actions, grabbed the corpse of the lizardman shaman and threw it into the sea of ​​fire, and then dragged the corpses of the two lizardman warriors over and threw them into the fire one by one.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Joan urged Gray to leave the island as soon as possible. Gray stretched out his hand to pick him up, put him on his shoulders, strode like when he came here, and left the island within ten minutes.

Joan looked back at the small island shrouded in raging flames, recalling the time spent with Gray on the island, and couldn't help but feel sad. However, compared to giving up this residence, he was more thankful that he and Gray escaped Qiu De and the others, and secretly prayed that the fire would burn hotter, burn all the corpses of the three lizard men to ashes, and wipe out the remaining traces of the scene .

"Grey, we have to avoid the limelight for the next period of time, and we won't be able to see each other for the time being." Seeing the grey-bag beast's expression of reluctance, Joan patiently explained to it: "Don't forget the one who saw us kill the lizard man by mistake." Shaman Cohen's female crocodile is still alive, and the leader of the lizardmen tribe can learn about your and my appearance from her. In addition, Qiu De and the others will never return, and they will definitely send more lizardmen to follow us. , for the sake of safety, I have to stay away from the swamp temporarily to avoid the hunting of the lizard people, and you also have to find a place far away from the lizard people's sphere of influence to hide, and we will try to meet again after avoiding the limelight."

As for how long to hide and how to restore contact in the future, Qiao An has no idea yet, so he can only take one step at a time.

Gray's mind is simple, but his intuition is very keen. It can only understand a small part of Joan's words, but it is not difficult to feel Joan's concern for it through his demeanor and behavior, and then agree with the decision he made.

"Grey, take care." Before parting, Joan held back the urge to shed tears and embraced the gray bag beast. "I hope this turmoil will subside as soon as possible, and one day we will meet again."

Gray nodded heavily, and watched Joan's back fade away with tears in his eyes until he disappeared into the depths of the boundless reeds swaying in the wind at the edge of the swamp. It wasn't until Gray opened the three pairs of eyes to the maximum that he couldn't find Joan's figure, so he had to face the reality that he had left, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took heavy steps, turned around and walked towards the unfamiliar place. Another dangerous swamp.

With a feeling of reluctance, Gray looked back for the last time, and the fiery red sunset came into his eyes. However, at this moment when it glanced back, it was pleasantly surprised to find that the thin figure went back and forth, and returned to his field of vision again.

"Mott!" The gray bag beast cheered and strode towards the familiar figure.

"No matter what, I still can't bear to leave you alone." Returning to Gray again, the panic on Joan's face was gone, replaced by an unprecedented calmness and firmness, "The power of the lizardmen is all over the Great Swamp , You can’t find a real refuge here, come with me and take you to a place that is absolutely safe.”

Gray was happy as long as he was with Joan, and he didn't care too much about staying in the swamp or going elsewhere. He accepted Joan's suggestion without any hesitation, and followed him away from the swamp.

It was almost dusk, and Joan led Gray all the way north along the Delin River, and quietly came to the vicinity of Delin Town under the cover of the woods, without disturbing any local residents along the way.

Joan knew very well that the residents of Delin Town would not welcome such a hideous monster like Gray. If he took Gray directly into the town, it would definitely cause a riot. In the end, either Gray would be driven out of the town by the angry militia. Or even Gray and himself will be deported.

Joann wasn't going to try to convince the townspeople to accept Gray—it would be a waste of effort. He waited patiently in the woods until night fell over the land, the lights in the town were extinguished one after another, and the streets were empty and no pedestrians could be seen. Then he turned his head and gestured to Gray, signaling him to follow.

Joan was born and raised in Delin Town and is very familiar with the terrain around the town. Instead of taking the risk of taking Gray straight to the main gate, he made a detour to the hill behind the town under the cover of the woods. Climb over a ridge, slide down the sloping hillside, and continue walking not far to the forest run by old man Guillaume Tell.

The forest in the back mountain is quite dense, and it is now mid-February, the snow in the forest has not completely melted, and the residents of the town rarely set foot here. Joan intends to temporarily place Gray in a hut in the woods. There are abundant prey in the woods. In addition to the hares and pheasants that can be seen all year round, as the weather gets warmer, wild boars, black bears, badgers and other large beasts also become active one after another. Based on Gray's It is not difficult to get enough prey in the dense forest. As for the beasts that could threaten it... Judging from Joan's experience, there is none, which can be called the existence at the top of the food chain.

It's a pity that the plan is not as good as changing. Just as they were about to approach the cabin in the forest, there was a sudden barking sound in front of them, and then a group of lights lit up in the forest, flickering towards this side.

"Jamie, have you found a wild boar again?" A girl's voice came from behind the bushes.

The gray bag beast seemed to sense the threat, and suddenly clenched its fists, its six eyes shone brightly, and slightly lowered its burly body to make an attacking gesture.

Joan hurriedly stopped Gray and shouted to the other side of the bush: "It's me!"

"Joan?" Conti came over in surprise, and a magical orange ball of light rose from the top of the wooden stick in his hand, illuminating the dark woods around him.

The mixed-breed winter wolf Jamie jumped out of the bushes following Kandy, and immediately cheered when he saw Joan, and ran to the little master like flying, and glanced at Gray vigilantly from time to time, full of guard against this big man.

There was a slight rustling sound behind Kandy. The little tree spirit Mira stood in the bushes, with branches and leaves covering her naked body, and cast a curious look at Joan and Gray. Perhaps it was frightened by the strong and ferocious image of the gray bag beast. The moment he made eye contact with Gray, he hurriedly shrank his head and hid behind Kandy.

Joan squatted down to caress Jamie's furry ears, and softly introduced the new friend behind him. Jamie is bright and lively by nature, and has no concept of judging people by their appearance. With Joan's encouragement, he approached Gray actively, let out a friendly growl, and raised a front paw to greet him.
