Gu Mengmeng opened her eyes and rubbed her temples that were still aching. She moved her lips and forced a smile.
Lea felt heartache and hugged her in his arms, saying, “If you are sad, you don’t have to smile, who are you forcing yourself for?”
Gu Mengmeng’s throat was in immense pain, luckily Elvis handed over the water he prepared so that she could moisturised her throat.
Motou Mountains had returned to its peaceful state. Withoug asking, Gu Mengmeng also knew how long she had been unconscious for.
Regardless of what Gregory intended to do, it must have already happened.
She could not stop it.
It was too late…
Gregory was really ruthless. He was forcing her to believe that legend.
Now that things had reached this stage, what else could she do other than believing it?
She could be said to be lying to herself or even superstitious but she could only believe that Gregory would return when Wales revive.
Stroking the feather on her ears, Gu Mengmeng did not say anything and only smiled faintly.
He said that even if he could not see, so long as she smiled, he would feel blessed.
Then she would smile, smile for him to see.
“Where’s Wabei? He’s still not back?” Gu Mengmeng was not going to mention Gregory at all, so Elvis and Lea naturally would not ask. Seeing that she changed the topic, they just thought of it as her not willing to mention that upsetting incident.
Gu Mengmeng had always been heavily invested in relationships. When Snakel died, she had been depressed for a long time and Elvis and Lea could still remember up to now.
In contrast, her reaction was already considered great.
“He’s not back, but…” He’s most likely not returning.
Elvis and Lea could not finish the remaining sentence.
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her forehead and said, “What exactly happened? You guys tell me.”
Elvis and Lea exchanged glances but neither of them spoke.
Auretin was silent for a moment before saying, “I am heading off to hunt first.”
Lea found an excuse and smiled, “Yeah, you must not have eaten delicious food during this period of time, I will leave with Auretin and pick something nice for you to eat.”
After he said that, he left.
Gu Mengmeng knew that he was avoiding trouble as he was scared of her asking further.
She lay in Elvis’ arms and said after a moment of silence, “Tell me, I don’t have more energy for this and I don’t want to think too much.”
Elvis hesitated, then nodded and said, “After we reached the foot of the mountain, Wabei suddenly became crazy. His eyes turned red and started to attack us for no reason. Lea and I wanted to hold him down but we failed.”
“Failed?” Gu Mengmeng did not understand.
By right, even though Wabei was strong, he was only a fifth-level orc. Elvis was a Beast King, there should be no reason for him to be unable to hold him down. Moreover, with the help of Lea, both of them still could not control Wabei? Gu Mengmeng felt strange.
Elvis nodded and said, “Wabei had become stranger the closer he got to the mountain. Initially, he was only irritated, then he started to lose control. He said… it seemed that something was calling him and making him lose control.”
“That mountain…” Gu Mengmeng frowned and muttered to herself but she could not think of anything.
Seeing Gu Mengmeng’s expression, and seeing that she could accept it, Elvis continued, “He dived into the snow after becoming crazy. Lea and I followed but we only found a steep cave. Other than snakes… other tribed could not enter.”
