Chapter Seventy-Seven: Goodbye, Travelers
"Big sister, run, that monster is still alive!" Xiao Yi's gun fell to the ground, and he moved backwards in shock.
The monster raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yi away, and the violent movement caused a large amount of blood to gush out of the monster's waist and abdomen, but this did not make the monster fall.
Xiao Yi was directly hit by this huge force and flew upside down, and fell into the shadows not far from Monica after breaking a pillar.
"Xiao Yi!" Monica just stood up and fell to her knees again, the massive blood loss had weakened her body to the extreme, and such a physical condition did not allow her to attack the monster again.
Xiao Yi spit out a mouthful of blood, he quickly trembled and used his hands to dig open the yellow sand to bury the bloodstains, the indescribable pain hit the central nervous system, he curled up on the ground and felt his internal organs stir together.
"Sister, I'm fine... You have to watch out for monsters..."Xiao Yi shuddered and climbed to the wooden fence, something hot was slowly soaking through his uniform, and he clutched his stomach tightly for fear that it would leak out and be seen by his companions.
"I can't die... I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."Xiao Yi's face was covered with dirt, and he was like garbage left next to a trash can, just like when he first came into this world.
A huge shadow full of oppression slowly approached the stable, and the monster's eyes were no longer free of the breath of the living, and it was more appropriate to call it the end of the crossbow, because the monster's movements were extremely stiff, and his body was full of fatal wounds.
Max's attack had indeed killed the monster, but just as a dead viper still had attack power, it was not the brain that supported the monster's actions at this moment, but the hunting instinct that had not been completely annihilated.
"Death without stiffness and continue to hurt people, ghosts are ghosts, and they don't deserve the slightest sympathy!" Clindo, who was performing a healing technique, couldn't help but look sideways, "Disgusting things, only scorching can wash away your sins." ”
A silver spike shot towards the monster's head, and Clindo would not be stingy in using the most cruel means to kill ghouls, but he couldn't get out, so he chose the quickest one.
The silver spike broke through the monster's scale armor and sank into his forehead, but this only caused the monster's footsteps to pause slightly, and the fleshy mountain of body swayed and rushed towards everyone
Like a boulder sinking to the bottom of the sea, everyone's hearts also hang, and the only one who is still fighting among the people present is Clindo, but he is performing a "healing technique" to expel the blood of the beard and the chef that contains corpse poison, if he stops now, the undrained toxin will be mixed with the injection of fresh blood and the previous efforts will be lost, and even Monica and Scar may be hit.
"Big sister, take care of the brothers, I'll deal with him!" Scar tossed Monica's only flint gun at him, his rugged face stained with dried blood, Scar was ready to die.
"Wait," Monica grabbed Scar's wrist, which was already weak, "and wait for it to get closer." ”
"If you don't want to die, just be honest with me, and I'll be enough to deal with this kind of thing alone. ”
Immediately after that, two silver nails flew out of Klindo's sleeve, and the two silver nails accurately hit the monster's knee, but the result was a big disappointment, the scale armor covering the monster's knee was the strongest, and the silver nails broke in unison, and the monster stepped into the yellow sand.
"How can this be!" Klindo was a little panicked, he hadn't taken this guy seriously from the beginning, and now it seemed that he was indeed too underestimated.
A heavy stampede came to the face, and soon everyone in the stable was within range of the monster.
Without the slightest hesitation, Klindo plunged the wooden cross into the sand between the bearded man and the cook, and he leaped to his feet and flew out of the monster's range.
"Klindor, you!" Monica didn't expect this guy to abandon everyone at a critical moment and choose to run for her life alone.
People are born to be selfish, even for the devout who claim to be "slaves of God", not to mention that the reason why Clindo would help them as a bounty hunter was also entrusted by others, and he had no reason to act as a "savior" when danger came.
Yes, the savior is not Klindo, but there is one guy who has chosen to act as this "savior".
No sooner had Clindo left than a thin figure stumbled over and blocked everyone, his slightly thin body covered in scars.
"No one can hurt my family!" the slightly immature voice shocked everyone present.
The blood droplets on his stomach slipped silently down Xiao Yi's trouser legs, and in the face of the red ghouls that pounced, Xiao Yi resolutely raised his head and opened his arms, he wanted to use his flesh and blood to defend the right of his comrades to live.
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing!" Monica shouted in despair.
"Fuck, get out of the way!" Scar pulled out his sharp knife and cut through the blood vessels and rushed out, "Bastard, bastard, bastard!"
This time, Xiao Yi did not hide behind his friends, but chose to use his small body to block the advancing behemoth, although he knew that he might be torn to shreds, he would definitely not take a step back, just like the man who had stood in front of him.
"Uncle French, this time, Xiao Yi did it..."A relieved smile appeared on Xiao Yi's lips, and he slowly closed his eyes.
The hourglass of time went back quickly, and finally froze on a rainy night that was enough to change his life.
"Boss, why don't you leave?" Scar tilted his head to look at Frankie, realizing that he had stopped behind him.
"Scar, do you see there's a guy over there?" Frankie, holding the beer bottle, pointed between a pile of trash cans.
"Leave it alone," Scar waved his hand impatiently, "Boss, hurry up and go, don't let that girl Monica make any trouble, I'm really not used to taking her out on a mission for the first time, hehe." ”
As he spoke, Scar scratched his head embarrassedly, only to turn his head to find that Frankie was long gone, and in the blink of an eye he appeared next to the pile of garbage cans, and he was crouching down and flipping the garbage, and the colorful neon lights reflected Frankie's reflection in the puddle after the rain.
"I said boss, you take care of a mouse..."
Before Scar could finish his sentence, Frankie knocked over a rusty garbage can, revealing that it was not a mouse shivering in the corner, but an unkempt little boy who was rummaging through the garbage heap for food that people had discarded.
Seeing the stranger, the boy instinctively pulled out a piece of broken glass from his pocket and pointed it at Frankie, who clinged to the garbage pile behind him, looking a little scared.
"It's a person. Scar took a nonchalant sip of his wine, and the sour smell made him cover his nose.
Frankie gave the bottle to Scar, and he looked at the child with a warm smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person," Frankie said with a smile, "What's your name?"
The boy cowered in the corner and remained silent, looking warily at Frankie like an alert young beast.
"My name is Frankie, a bounty hunter of the Hunters' Guild, and we won't hurt you," Frankie continued, "Aren't you hungry?"
Frankie then pulled a wrapped sandwich out of his coat pocket and handed it to the boy.
"Boss, isn't that for Monica, aren't you afraid that girl will get angry with you?" Scar looked at the boy in disgust.
"It should be fine. ”
Frankie placed the sandwich next to the boy, "Eat it, now it's yours." ”
The boy swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, then put down the glass knife and began to devour it, crumbs falling to the ground.
"Hahaha," Frankie laughed at the boy's appearance, "eat slowly, you're too young to drink, and I can't help it if you choke." ”
At this moment, a bald man in a striped vest suddenly appeared at the end of the street, and he seemed to have noticed the situation here, and walked menacingly with a wooden stick.
"Xiao Yi, what about the money you begged for today, why haven't you handed it over?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll hand it over right away. The sandwich in the boy's hand fell to the ground and was covered with muddy water, and he looked very frightened, and his dirty little hands took out a few silver coins from his pocket and handed them out tremblingly, not even daring to look up at the bald man.
"Damn, you dare to hide here and eat a seafood sandwich, I haven't even eaten it!" The bald man kicked away a piece of discarded iron sheet, "I think you're underwhelmed again!"
The bald man paid no attention to Frankie, whose face was gradually getting worse.
"What's your relationship?" Frankie took a sip of his wine and looked at the bald man.
"Damn, nosy guy, get out of here!" the bald man glanced at Frankie dismissively.
A cold chill came from the back of his neck, and at some point, a sharp knife was already hanging over the bald man's major artery.
"Who allowed you to talk to my boss like that?!" Scar's drunken voice rang in the bald man's ears like a desperate ghost.
"You.. Who are you?" the bald man suddenly became a little sluggish, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground.
Frankie raised his hand and motioned for Scar to withdraw his weapon.
"You don't have to know our identity, you remember, you can't trouble this kid in the future, otherwise I won't let you see the sun the next day. Frankie's voice suddenly turned cold, and the sharp killing intent was directed at the center of the bald man's eyebrows.
"Big... Uncle, I don't want to," the bald man begged, "this is what our eldest brother ordered, I'm just a little minion, it's useless for you to threaten me." ”
Without saying a word, Frankie took out a heavy bag of coins from his pocket and threw it to the bald man, "That's enough, right?"
"Enough, enough, enough!" The fat on the bald man's face was squeezed together, how ugly it was.
"Don't sing here for Lao Tzu!" Scar slapped the big bald head with his backhand, "It's hard to hear!"
"Uncle, I really don't..."
"Yo he, you still dare to talk to the master, right? I'll let you be tough, let you be tough..."
The sound of "crackling" echoed through the streets.
Frankie crouched down and touched the boy's head, "Would you like to come with me?"
The boy's body shook, he raised his head a little confused, the man in front of him was like a morning star in the night, his smile was so bright, pointing out the direction of his progress.
The boy nodded timidly.
"Hahaha," Frankie laughed heartily, "Your name is Xiao Yi, right? You will be my subordinate in the future, you know? You can't be bullied by others anymore, it's too embarrassing!"
The boy blinked and nodded.
The boy doesn't remember what happened next, and he really felt the meaning of life after seeing the man.
Consciousness gradually blurred, and the backs of two men holding a boy slowly disappeared from the road after the rain.
"Thank you, Uncle Frankie. ”
In the next second, the sound of the world stopped abruptly, and a terrifying black shadow pounced on Xiao Yi in front of everyone's eyes.
