Chapter 1833: Cutting wood and shocking soul

"Ah!" A scream came out of Daman's mouth, and then he jumped up from the bed, subconsciously hitting the wooden wall beside the bed. The severe pain from his hand made him wake up quickly. At the same time, a cool sea breeze blew in through the crack of the door, making him feel a little chill, and he realized that he had been awakened by a nightmare just now.

"What's wrong, Daman? I woke up by a nightmare again. It's been thirteen days in a row. If you continue like this, you may not be able to survive the Return Festival." The roommate who was originally washing outside the house heard the screams from inside the house and immediately walked in with a wooden basin. Seeing Daman holding his hands with a painful expression on his face, he sighed and said with concern: "I think you'd better find the old witch doctor in the gopher Lane to take a look. He can always get some strange medicinal herbs that can cure some strange diseases."

"I'm just having a nightmare, not crazy. What's the difference between looking for that old guy to treat the disease and suicide? You must know that there are many more people who die at his hands than those who heal in his hands." Daman, who was pale and thin, had a circle of dark circles around his eyes, rubbed the back of his hands and checked whether the bone was injured. He gave his roommate a blank look in anger, then walked outside the house, washed his face with cool well water, and woke up completely, and then treated the injuries on his hands briefly, and asked his roommate who had changed into lumberjack uniforms: "What's there to do today?"

"Yes." The roommate nodded and said, "I heard that several ships transporting the Development Group will come here in the past two days. To resettle those who develop the Development Group, you need to build some wooden houses. Now there is insufficient wood in the town, so we need to cut some. I heard that it is not calculated by day, but by quantity. The more you cut, the more money you give."

"Wait for me, I'll go too." Daman immediately ran back into the house when he heard this, picked up his lumberjack clothes from the stool at the bedside, and walked out of the house while wearing them.

The roommate asked with concern: "Can your body be able to bear it now?"

Daman waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, just cut down some wood, it doesn't take too much effort."

The roommate emphasized again: "This is going to the jungle outside the wall. Are you sure there will be no problem?"

Daman hesitated for a moment, then turned out his pants pocket and said, "If I don't work, I can't even eat. This is what I should care about most now."

Seeing Daman like this, the roommate did not persuade him anymore. The two of them picked up the axes and other logging tools hanging in the warehousing room, and then walked along the outer wood wall toward the small wooden building in the outer port area management office.

Although Daman is not in good condition now, as a lumberjack with rich experience, he can still easily cut down the selected trees, remove branches and leaves, and turn them into a log that can be further processed.

Although Daman was also an attacker, the sudden change in the monster's choice of prey caused the sheriff's idea, so he was interrogated on the same day. He was not released from the military camp until he was confirmed that there were no noticeable characteristics. On the day he released, he started having nightmares. He had been having for more than ten days in a row. Every nightmares were the experience of being attacked that day. In the end, every nightmares were the monster who did not change his choice, but bit him to death.

Daman still remembered that it was a stormy night. He had lost all his wages and was walking out of the secret casino in Gopher Lane and heading towards his residence.

Hearing the staff's words, Daman looked at the location marked on the forest farm map not far from the camp, and became inclined to the heart. So he asked the staff for a two-tooth hoe to dig potato beans and walked towards the forest farm marked on the map.

A staff member responsible for managing the camp said carelessly: "Boss, I went to Dalin Farm. I heard that a very valuable golden wood was found there, and it may take several hours to come back."

Even if the things that are shocking, impressive, and strong, the reactions that are produced by ordinary people, once they wake up, they will quickly dissipate. After a while, there will be only a little conceptual idea of ​​the dream they have. No one can remember all the details in the dream.

Under this extremely broad recruitment conditions, a new group of lumberjacks soon gathered together. Under the instructions of the officials, a temporary escort team led the loggers team and walked out of the gate toward the designated forest farm.

The two of them soon arrived at the outer port management office. The logging work mentioned earlier was still being recruited. The two immediately signed up. If it was something else, they might have to review their qualifications. After all, the wages were calculated by day at that time, and it was a day to be lazy and diligent. The officials of the management office naturally did not want the people they recruited to not do things and cheat them. But now it is different. Calculate wages based on the number of logs, and the disadvantages of the previous system were avoided. Therefore, for the officials of the management office, as long as they were a person and could wield an axe, they were qualified.

The monster attack on Matouwan Town has lasted for half a year since the beginning. After experiencing the initial panic and fear, the residents of Matouwan Town have gradually become accustomed to this kind of warm greeting from the New World. Many people are even more lucky and think that they cannot be the most unlucky person, and Daman is one of them.

The monster looked like a cheetah, with scales on its body, and its huge head looked like a crocodile. The mane around its head was tentacles that could shoot out poison needles. The moment this monster appeared, the tentacles on its head sprayed poison needles into its prey. These poison needles could easily pierce the clothes and leather armor and pierce people. The venom on it would instantly paralyze the prey. More than a dozen people, including Daman, were lying on the ground and unable to move.

Because the predecessors opened up the road, the group soon came to the designated logging yard. Under the instructions of the logging leader, each person was responsible for a forest area, and the temporary soldiers responsible for safety were divided into three teams to patrol the edge of the logging range of the people to avoid any ferocious beasts attacking the loggers.

Daman did not choose thick trees like other lumberjacks, and was located deep in the forest farm, but chose woods close to the logging camp to cut down small trees that could only be used for wooden boards and have relatively low value.

The reason why Daman chose to work in the forest area near the logging farm was different from other lumberjacks who made the same choice. He was because of the feeling of being targeted became even stronger after entering the wood area, so strong that he had a premonition that he would never be able to get out if he really went deep into the forest area.

On the way, his roommate kept talking about the various rumors he had heard these days, but Daman didn't listen to a word. He was still thinking about the previous nightmare in his mind.

Although he was extremely panicked, Daman finally calmed down and did not escape back to town because he really needed money.

In fact, this is not a dream, because most of the things that happened in the nightmare came from his personal experience, especially the monster that bit him to death in the nightmare really exists. However, the real situation is that the monster did not bite him, but bit a guard soldier not far away to death, and then dragged him into the forest.

But everything will be exceptions, and Daman is such an exception. He has had the same dream for thirteen consecutive days. No matter how complicated this dream is, the relevant impressions left in his mind are enough for him to remember every detail.

At the beginning, the prey chosen by this monster was Daman. Even the monster had already walked in front of Daman and opened his bloody mouth full of sharp teeth towards Daman. The smell of fishy breath came to his face. Everyone, including Daman himself, thought he was dead.

But Daman was in a special situation at that time. Although he could stay in the secret casino, he was a regular customer after all, and the casino could also arrange a place to rest for him, but he knew very well that if he continued to stay in the casino, he would probably borrow money from the casino and continue to bet. In that case, he might never be able to turn over from the huge debt like the gambling monsters he had seen, so he could only risk walking home at night.

Soon, more than thirty logs were collected. He skillfully built up the logs and fixed them with vines. Then he returned to the logging camp and wanted to find the camp manager to record the batch of logs in his workbook.

The continuous nightmare not only made him extremely depressed, but also made him feel very strongly afraid of sleep. He only went to bed when his body couldn't stand it. This state also made him unable to do his original job anymore, and his savings were used up in the past few days. As he said, if he didn't work and earned money, he might starve to death.

Perhaps this kind of log has a low value, but if the quantity is sufficient, Daman can still make a lot of money.

He was lucky. After leaving the casino, he encountered a team of fully armed soldiers patrolling. So he followed the soldiers and walked in the direction where he was home, and felt that with so many soldiers present, the monster should not attack him.

Originally, according to the rules, ordinary people should not walk outside the house after night, because according to the analysis of the town sheriff, the monsters in the forest appear at night and rarely destroy the house or attack the people in the house, so it is safe to hide in the house after dark.

Although there are patrolling soldiers responsible for the safety of the forest farm, those soldiers are only used to defend against large wild beasts. If they encounter legendary monsters, those soldiers may not be able to protect themselves, and will not protect lumberjacks. Moreover, large wild beasts and monsters in the forest are just one of the dangers. All kinds of inconspicuous poisonous insects and poisonous weeds are truly deadly threats. In the past, the people who were poisoned to death among the pioneers and settlers who came to the New World far exceeded the sum of other causes of death.

"It's better to put it there. This thing is not worth a lot and no one will take it away." The staff looked at Daman with disdain. Then he took out a forest farm map from the workbook beside him, and pointed to an area marked on it not far from the camp, saying: "Instead of cutting such wood that is not much valuable, you might as well dig some potato beans in this place, because a large number of people will come to Matou Bay, and the food may not be enough. Among these people, there are many prisoners of war and slaves. Although the potato beans have a little bad taste, they can impact it. It's most suitable to give prisoners of war and slaves. You can dig a little more, and the price is calculated based on the price of ordinary wood. Although you can't make much money, it's much easier than logging."

However, fate is so strange. The more I don’t want to see anything, the more that thing will appear. The monsters from the forest appeared in front of everyone without warning. Before everyone could react, they knocked them down. Under the impact of the monster, Daman, who fell near the wall, also saw clearly what the monsters that were rumored outside looked like.

But the next moment, the monster suddenly changed his mind. Under the gaze of everyone, he turned around and bit the guard soldiers not far away to death. Then he took the soldier's body and crossed the wooden wall and disappeared from everyone's sight. He knew that the sheriff had found that the patrol soldiers were not in a good time, so he sent someone to check the situation. The attacked people felt relieved and understood that they were safe.

"It will take a few hours to come back?" Daman was stunned and asked, "What should I do?"

Other lumberjacks were not surprised by Daman's choice. After all, several lumberjacks made the same choice as him. In the eyes of these people, the trees that grew up in the deep forest farm were more dangerous, but for lumberjacks working there, they encountered more dangers.

I don’t know if it was because of being addicted to work, Daman forgot the feeling of being targeted that brought him strong fear to him. The body that was active generated a lot of heat, which slightly cleared the weak state in his body. Now it is the best day he has felt in his physical condition in the past ten days.

After walking out of the town of Matou Bay, Daman's face became a little ugly, and he had an impulse to escape back to the town immediately, because he didn't know that it was not the mental impact of nightmares for several days. After walking out of the town, he felt as if he was being targeted by some terrible monster, but he looked around but could not see any shadow of the lurking monster.

If possible, he now wants to return to the town immediately, but this idea is impossible, so he can only settle for the second best and choose to log in places other people in the logging field, so that he can take care of even when encountering danger.

However, when Daman had just walked out of the camp, he thought that his axe was placed in the camp. Although he stopped logging, the axe could defend himself when he encountered danger, so he turned around and went back to the camp to retrieve the axe.

However, when he returned to the camp, he felt abnormal, because the camp with six or seven people in the previous camp was now empty, and even the staff who had talked to him had disappeared.

At this moment, the feeling of being targeted by him that he had felt earlier appeared again and became even stronger, so strong that he could clearly feel that the thing he was targeting him was behind him.

The strong fear made his body stiff and unable to move. His whole body seemed to be petrified, and even his breathing stopped. It was not until the feeling of being targeted began to weaken and fade that he let out a long breath of turbid air. His stiff body instantly relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground and fell into a coma.
