Chapter 72 Shadow Monster
After the negotiation was concluded, the vigilance in both parties' minds was greatly reduced.
Rhaegar ate the food provided by the wildlings, drank the water provided by the wildlings, and watched the wildlings dance around the campfire.
Siblings Falcon and Sapphire always share a campfire with him.
Chatting about each other's stories calmly.
The falcon picked at the scraps from the hare's skeleton and asked, "You look young, the king's youngest son?"
"I am the king's eldest son," Rhaegar said with a smile.
"If I remember correctly the tradition of noble bastards, the eldest son is the heir. Will you be the new king in the future?" Falcon was surprised.
"No! In fact, the heir is my sister." Rhaegar replied calmly.
"Why? She has a dick like yours hidden under her skirt?"
A rough-looking savage who was watching the fun came up to make noises, causing the nearby savages to laugh.
Rhaegar glanced sideways at the other person, his eyes fell on Falcon, and he remained silent.
Falcon's face was slightly angry, he grabbed the rough man's calf and said in a deep voice: "Xander, get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, Xander, get out of here..."
The savage named Xander shook his head and repeated these words with a very unconcerned attitude.
It wasn't until an eagle with black spots on a white background landed on the branch above his head that he shuddered and reluctantly walked away.
Watching him disappear into the crowd, Falcon turned his head and said in a voice with no hint of emotion or anger: "The tribe has been unstable recently, and many warriors are restless."
"My mouth smells bad. I wonder how it compares to the dragon dung at Taniguchi?" Rega smiled slightly.
"I will teach him a lesson and warn others at the same time." Falcon paused in his movements, his voice a little irritable.
He was not a threat to anger Rhaegar.
It was the tribe's men who made him lose face in front of distinguished guests.
The night is getting darker.
After filling his stomach, Rhaegar returned to the cave where he woke up to rest.
Falcon gave him some soft animal skins and arranged for the Baolan siblings to follow him.
After laying out the animal skin blanket himself, Rhaegar called to the siblings sleeping against the wall and gave them the remaining animal skin.
"Thank you." Tormund thanked softly.
"Can I ask you some questions, such as what changes happened to the tribe?" Rega took the opportunity to inquire about information.
Tormund held the animal skin and looked at Sapphire blankly.
Baolan nodded and turned around to spread the straw mat.
Tormund said: "The tribe's original place was attacked by monsters, and several people died. Uncle Falcon had no choice but to take us to migrate."
"Monster? Crocodile or python in the swamp?" Rega became interested.
"No, it's a monster hiding in the shadows. It moves like a python and pierces our bodies." Tormund told with fear.
This monster brought him a deep psychological shadow.
"I've never heard of similar shadow monsters circulating. Is this true?" Rega looked at Baolan dubiously.
Sapphire was similar in age to Rhaenyra, so what she said was more credible.
Baolan looked ugly: "It's true. Even the old people in the tribe have never seen or heard of such monsters. They seem to appear out of thin air."
"Wow, looks like we're in trouble."
Rhaegar frowned hesitantly. He was not sure if there were any shadow monsters on the Crab Claw Peninsula.
But this tribe seems not as safe as imagined.
After a brief exchange, the cave fell into silence.
The three of them were lying in their own bunks, and they could still hear the screams of the wild men in the carnival outside the cave.
After a while.
Baolan couldn't help it first and asked: "Why is your sister the heir?"
"There is no reason. She and I are both our father's children. It doesn't matter who is the heir." Rhaegar chatted boringly.
"You are kidding yourself. Those nobles prefer a man in charge to lead them." Baolan questioned.
"That's true, but my father chose her to be his heir. We are relatives, and I just want to help her."
"Huh, she will get married in the future, have her own husband, and give birth to her children, who will be her lifelong relatives."
Baolan snorted coldly and said, "And you, a younger brother who is ahead of her in the pecking order, will only become an obstacle to her."
"Which lord are you the illegitimate daughter of? Does it sound familiar to the Targaryen family?" Rhaegar smiled and asked.
"It's none of your business, he's just a bastard who can't control his pants." Baolan didn't like to mention her origins.
"Then I don't need you to take care of my housework, miss!" Rega defeated the magic with magic.
"Haha, he called you miss." Tormund, who was huddled in the corner, chuckled silly.
"What about you, young master?" Baolan stood up and kicked him, which made him stop laughing.
After a few words, the cave fell into silence again.
…
midnight.
The humid air evaporated water vapor, and large dark clouds rose into the sky, covering the crescent moon.
Without the moonlight, the night becomes darker.
In the valley, the savages were tired from the commotion and fell asleep on the ground in twos and threes.
The piles of bonfires gradually became smaller and smaller, leaving only sporadic flames crackling.
In a dim environment.
A strange dark creature twisted its shape and emerged from the dark shadows of the trees.
The dark creature blended well into the shadows, crawling like a snake, and came to the side of a sleeping savage.
slowly.
Get into the savage's nostrils, ears, mouth...
The dark creatures seemed to be able to split apart and invaded the savage's body pervasively.
A soft stick-like object was thrust into his throat. The savage let out two chirps and woke up from his dream in discomfort.
As soon as I opened my eyes.
Then he saw a pitch-black twisted monster lying on his chest, branching out like vine-like tentacles.
The savage's eyes widened for a moment, fear filled his heart, and he wanted to scream.
"Well……"
Before he could scream, two tentacles from his nostrils pierced his brain and muddied his brain.
Easily plunder a savage's life.
The dark monster twisted its figure, pulled out its tentacles, and looked for its next prey.
…
In the cave, Rhaegar was sleeping soundly.
"ah!!!"
In vain, a shrill scream resounded through the valley, waking everyone up.
Rhaegar opened his eyes drowsily and looked around at a loss.
Sister Baolan also woke up.
He picked up the weapon beside him and rushed out of the cave, warning: "It's dangerous outside, don't go out."
Rega was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and followed.
He had heard many horror stories.
When encountering danger, the one who is alone is the most dangerous.
He still understands this.
After leaving the cave, the savages outside were in a panic.
Some people add fuel to the bonfire, and some people light torches.
The night was just a little brighter.
Lei Jia stood close behind Bao Lan and stuck his head out to see the reason.
There was a lot of noise outside, the savages were howling and screaming, and no useful information could be obtained.
Waited for a while.
The noisy scene just stopped.
It was Falcon leading the savage warriors back from their inspection.
They were carrying several bodies.
They are all strong male savages.
Three orifices were bleeding, but there were no injuries on the surface of the body.
One had an arrow in his chest, piercing his heart, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
In front of everyone in the tribe.
Falcon threw the three corpses that died in the same manner into the bonfire and burned the remains.
The other one pulled out the arrow and looked at it gloomily.
"We are being targeted by other tribes!"
Falcon clutched the arrow tightly and roared angrily.
Thanks to Zhenxunxun for the 500 points reward.
Thanks to Fengyunxiaogg and Seinfeld for the 100-point reward.
