Chapter 3: Never back
The giant was covered in white juice, and he roared and stood up, limping on one foot. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The rangers pulled their crossbows and shot him in the abdomen with an arrow and an arrow into his shoulder. He quickened his pace, with a short sword in his injured right palm, and with a wave of his hands, Anderson took a few steps back, dodging the attack, and reloaded the crossbow, and the giant grabbed him.
"Anderson!" Aldington shouted, he stabbed the giant into the instep of the giant with a sword, the giant screamed, threw Anderson away, and pounced on Aldington, Aldington rolled over, dodged the giant's pounce, went around the giant's back, and slashed the giant's calf hard.
"This guy is a cripple!" shouted the captain, "leave it to me, and you can find the other giant fruits." The captain called the thing that enveloped the giant the "Giant Fruit".
The Rangers understood and scattered to find it.
Grant finds a huge giant fruit and slashes it hard, but the fruit does not move. He stabbed harder, heard a dull sound, and the sword slid over the skin of the fruit. He shouted, "I can't cut or pierce the fruit here!"
"Me too!" "I can't stab it here!" the Rangers replied one after another.
Anderson barely got up from the ground and smiled: "Look at me, it seems that I still have to rely on the crossbow." He picked up the crossbow, reloaded the arrow, and aimed it at a fruit, which touched the surface of the fruit and broke in two.
Aldington plunged his sword into the giant's back, and the giant screamed and straightened up, slapping his hand on the back, and Aldington grabbed the hilt of the sword and stepped on the fold in the giant's back to avoid the blow. When Cassius saw this, he rushed forward and stabbed a spear into the inside of the giant's knee, causing the giant to fall to his knees, and Aldington took the opportunity to jump down, and the giant waved his hand and knocked him away. Cassius jumped onto the giant's belly, dodging the slapping palm and stabbing the spear into the giant's throat, blood spurting all over him.
"These fruits, we can't break them!" Grant's words made everyone's hearts cold for a while, "Swords and crossbows are useless. ”
Aldington gathered everyone and looked closely at the six or seven fruits that hung there, each of which he had pierced with his sword, but the fruit was as hard as a stone.
Cassius suddenly had an idea, and he said, "If you call this 'Giant's Fruit,' the unripe fruit is very hard, yes, like a peach, the green peach is very hard, and the ripe red peach is soft. ”
Aldington nodded and said, "Without further ado, let's go and see if there are any more giant fruits." Go in that direction, there is a ticking sound there. ”
The Rangers found a passage large enough for eight Rangers to pass through side by side. The topography of the passage is always downward, and the further down you go, the louder the ticking sounds. As he walked out of the aisle, Cassiu gasped. I saw that under the passage, there was a huge root-like object, which was covered with giant fruits, and the ticking sound came from there, and the white juice flowed deeper down the ground.
"There are so many giant fruits there that we can't try all of them. Grant proposed, "We'll burn it with fire." ”
A Ranger lit a torch, and suddenly, firefly-like bugs on the wall swarmed over and pounced on the torches, and the bugs kept falling, and the Ranger was instantly surrounded by bugs. He screamed and waved his torch.
"Hey, hey, this is wrong!" shouted Grant, "throw the torch!"
The Ranger lost all the strength to move, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the torches fell to the ground, illuminating the surroundings. The Ranger was instantly drained of blood and body fluids, and turned into a crumpled corpse. The flying insects, which originally glowed with blue-green light, became red all over their bodies because of the blood sucking, and they flew away from the rangers and pounced on the torches like moths to fire, continuously, and when the insects encountered the fire, their bodies made a bang, exploded, and emitted a fishy smell. There were more and more bugs, and the bugs on the entire wall and ceiling flew over.
"Extinguish the torch!" cried Grant, who was desperately stomping on the torch with his foot, and suddenly cried out, "My foot!"
The Rangers pulled Grant back, and Cassius unleashed earth-based magic, creating an earthen wall that obscured the passage. He coughed and his head was a little dizzy. Don't, don't fall now. He pleaded, Iron Elemental, please calm your wrath.
The Rangers slap the bug off Grant's right calf. Grant shuddered as the others untied his leggings. The leggings have long been pricked by bugs. Cassius saw that Grant's right calf was shriveled, as if he had polio.
The walls around the cave still had a dense cluster of blue-green highlights like stars, and Cassius felt his scalp tingle.
"It seems that these bugs are protecting this place, and when they encounter the brightness and temperature of the fire, they are extremely aggressive. Cassiu gritted his teeth and said, "The way is blocked. ”
"What now?" asked Anderson, "we entered the vicinity of this great tree, where the fruit of the giants resembled pears hanging from the branches of autumn. ”
"Keep going. Aldington said, "Hold Grant, let's look for any giant fruit like the one that can be pierced." ”
"Retreat, we'll have to find another way out. Kasiu was silent for a moment, sighed deeply, shook his head, and objected, "Those giant fruits are too many to attack with fire, and we have too few people to try them one by one." "Failed. Cassiu's mood is at rock bottom. Most of the advance team died, and in the end had to face a difference in numbers. He thought of retreating. I've got to keep these Rangers.
"No!" Grant spat at Cassius and cursed, "You coward! We're here, we can kill one more!
Aldington looked at the Rangers, there were 9 people when they entered the hole, and now there were only 8 left, of which Grant was crippled. Outside the cave, there are Fat William, Jonathan, and Eddard who broke his leg bone.
"We can kill one more one. The captain nodded, "We've finally come here." ”
Cassius stopped Aldington and said, "There are more than 100 giant fruits in this place, and we don't know if there are giant fruits in other places. ”
"So we're going to kill a few more. The captain pushed Cassius away, his ice-blue eyes making his resolute expression even colder.
He has gone mad, disregarding the lives of his men. Cassius realized.
At this moment, a dull sound sounded somewhere, and just in front of him, a giant covered in white juice lay on the ground, and he opened his eyes and looked around curiously.
"It's now!" Aldington drew his sword and led the charge.
Grant lay on the ground, sneering, and asked Cassiu, "Why don't you go?
"No, I'm not afraid. Cashy bit his lip, he transformed his sword into a spear and rushed forward. I've got to make sure the captain keeps them safe.
The giant lay on the ground, his eyes pierced by the captain, and he let out a piercing cry, he twitched his body frantically, his hands swept the ground, and swept the 2 rangers away. The captain drew his sword, dodged the sweep of his hand, jumped onto the giant's shoulder, came to the giant's back, and thrust the sword into the back of the giant's head, and the giant twitched a few times, and lost his breath.
"Well done!" Anderson patted Cassius on the shoulder, "See, that's what the Jungle Ranger does, agile and powerful." ”
"Watch the back!" Cassius threw his spear, and Aldington fell down, and the spear stabbed into the forehead of the new giant, who was lying on the ground and tried to grab Aldington, but was shot through the forehead and fell with a bang.
"O Seven, you are a giant nemesis. Anderson's eyes widened, "The captain is right, with you and the captain here, we should kill a few more." ”
"No, we have to retreat. Cassius insisted on his opinion, and he ran over, drew his spear, and heard more ticks.
There were a few dull noises, and three more giants fell from the fruit and lay in front of them. Footsteps can be heard on the left.
"We've got to retreat!" Cassiu pulled Aldington as he grabbed him, "we have too few men to kill like this." ”
"Then kill a few more before you die!" Aldington roared, "Flee yourself!"
Crazy, all crazy. Cassius shook his head, he saw the giant on his left, the giant had apparently been awake for a while, and the white juice on his body had basically run dry. The giant roared, and Aldington led the Rangers in charge. The giant slammed his fist into the ground, and the dirt splattered, and he kicked it out again, hitting a ranger. Aldington swung his sword at him, and the giant blocked with his fist, the blade slashing into the rhinoceros skin, and the giant roared, grabbed the captain with his other hand, and threw him out. The captain was thrown into the air, crashed into the Giant Fruit, and fell to the ground.
Two Rangers circled behind the giant, and the giant spun around and threw his fist backwards, sending one of the rangers into the air, leaving the one to plunge his sword into the giant's left calf. The giant grabbed the Ranger and snapped him at the waist, the poor Ranger made a terrible thud in his spine, and the body was bent back at 40 degrees and thrown to the ground limply.
Cassius shouted, combined the shield and spear, transformed into a giant two-handed sword, and rushed forward.
On the other side, the three giants who were lying on the ground just now stood up.
"Come on, come on!" a ranger yelled at the three giants, and a little farther behind him, Grant lay on the ground.
"Leave me alone!" Grant crawled forward, shouting, "Run!"
Kasiu dodged the giant's swing, he swung the greatsword hard, cutting off the giant's right foot, the giant wailed, and threw himself at Cassiu, Cassiu turned over, and when the giant fell, the dirt splashed on Cassiu's face, he wiped the dirt, pulled out the greatsword, looked back, and shouted: "Don't-"
