Chapter 19: Night Has Come
A small village surrounded by raging fires. Chen Yong, Chi Xin, Da Zhuang, and two other Chinese soldiers, Jiang Yan and Bai Qingyuan, stared at the middle-aged man in Mai in front of them.
His sentence: "Only one place is reserved" made the five people have mixed feelings.
Judging from the literal meaning of this Mai Elder, it seemed that only one of the five remaining of them would survive.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest of the time to you, and get the results before dark, and if we do it for you, then all five of you won't have to live. After the elder finished speaking, he disappeared into thin air.
The five of Chishin looked at each other on the ground. After a long while, Chixin opened his mouth and said, "Master, I want to ask you for a favor." After I leave, if there is news of my sister within the military region, please send me a letter during the New Year's holidays. As soon as Chixin's words fell, he wiped the knife in his hand towards his neck. Chen Yong stretched out his hand and quickly pulled it to stop it.
"What stupid thing to do, is what he says?" Chen Yong scolded.
"But we have to keep one of us, you are the strongest of us, and it is better for you to stay than us bales, if we don't do anything, we don't even have a person to bring back the letter." Chixin shook off Chen Yong and stood up suddenly.
And Chen Yong also stood up and said slowly: "Before, because I was shrouded in fear, I felt that I couldn't survive in their hands, but if there is a dead word before and after, then let's die as a warrior." But Ashin was right, at least one person should be left to go back with the news. ”
Chen Yong turned his back to the four of them and quietly looked at the sky. Da Zhuang, who has not had any spirit, said:
"Captain, but what is the difference between us and dead now, let's treat it as if we are dead, and when we die, it is decent to have you by our side. ”
After listening to Da Zhuang's words, Chixin smiled bitterly and said, "But you can see more clearly." ”
Chen Yong turned around and said angrily: "It's just nonsense. ”
Then he slowed down his expression and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, that's right, in their eyes, we are no different from dead people at this time, and we are still discussing what can live one person, even if one person is left, in the end, it is a question whether people can let you live." ”
Chen Yong can roughly know what kind of existence those Mai people are, and firmly believe that whatever those people say must be what they are, saying that if they can live alone, then there will definitely be people who can live.
But sometimes do you really need to be so serious?
Even if his life is in the hands of others, then Lao Tzu will pretend to be confused this time, isn't this the bloody nature that a soldier should have? Stick to your beliefs and let those miscellaneous things go to hell!
The four of them could clearly feel the changes in Chen Yong, and it was finally not so heavy in the air at this moment.
So the five of them simply jumped off the roof generously, swaggered to the altar, and lay down to rest.
At this time, they have decided to fight those people, and the most important thing is to recover as much as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Night is approaching, the five of them sat up slowly in tacit understanding, rested all afternoon and finally recovered some strength, although they all had injuries, they were full of energy after throwing away distracting thoughts.
When the last bit of red hung on the top of the mountain dissipated, what the five of them did not expect was that this depression in the village would be so dark, even darker than the Alpine forest, and where there was no fire, it was completely black.
However, a few people took precautions in advance and lit torches in advance, at least for now, they can maintain basic visibility.
Just as the five of them were vigilantly observing their surroundings, a man in a robe slowly approached them from a distance.
The robed men made a dull sound with every step, and each time the footsteps sounded, they struck in their hearts.
When the robed man walked five or six meters in front of them and stopped, Da Zhuang and the other two team members couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
At this moment, a very thick and hoarse voice came from the robed man.
"I sealed it with my own power, and now I am no different from a mortal. Defeat me, this is your chance. ”
Chixin picked up his big knife, stretched out his left hand and picked up a knife stuck in the ground, and while weighing the knife, he said, "If it is not sealed, I don't understand." It means that we can live, right?"
The robed man was slightly stunned: "As you said." ”
As soon as the robed man's voice fell, Chixin shot away directly. He is not a reckless person, and he started fighting directly without temptation, because he felt that the strength of the person in front of him was bottomless, so what else did he need to test?
Cheer up the spirit of twelve, take out your own big move to hit, just do it, if it doesn't work, then it's over, and if you still try it, you may not even have a chance to enlarge the move and die.
In a breath, Chishin had already come to the robed man, and the other three people instantly dispersed to find their place.
Jiang Yan picked up an M1-style rifle and aimed at the rear, but found that it was basically impossible, and under the visibility, the two of them moved quickly, and they couldn't aim at the target at all.
Chixin in front of him slashed down with a vertical sword, and the robed man dodged sideways. Chishin landed on his feet, drew his left hand from back to front, and slashed directly at the waist of the robed man.
The robed man leaned back and dodged again. So Chishin put the big knife in his right hand against the robed man and sent it forward, turning it into a thorn. The robed man tapped the ground, but Chixin still didn't hurt the robed man.
At this time, Chixin's double knives went around the top of his head, as if they were drawn from his back, and the two knives crossed into an "X" and slashed at the robed man.
The robe man's toes flew over the top of Chixin's head, and Chixin saw this, and Chixin's right hand slashed vertically, slashing along with the robe's back.
At this time, the robed man sensed a little crisis, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Chixin's right wrist. When the robed man fell to the ground, his right hand went up and easily threw Chishin back.
With a "bump", Chixin was smashed to the ground, panting heavily.
The robed man spoke: "It's not bad, but the means are a little more tender." ”
Chi Xin ignored him, turned over and knelt on the ground and looked up at Chen Yong and asked, "Master, do you see clearly, do we have a chance to win?"
"I don't know. Chen Yong shook his head.
Chixin was still a little unwilling: "Don't the five of us have a chance of winning together?"
"I don't know. Chen Yong still shook his head.
Chen Yong's reply made Chixin a little shocked, and he smashed his fist on the ground and said loudly: "Forget it, the horse's is a death, him!"
The other four tightened the knife in their hands, and Chi Xin said: "Da Zhuang, don't blame me for bullying the wounded, it's the same way, you fight head-on, I go around, can you eat?"
"Wounded, Lao Tzu just broke an arm, which is a little bigger than the scar, but don't think of me as a wounded. ”
A moment ago, he was sick and strong, but at this time, he roared towards the robed man as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Chen Yong slammed his right foot, and he was originally behind Da Zhuang, but at this moment, he had already crossed Da Zhuang and approached the robed man.
Chen Yong slashed horizontally, and the robed man made a move, but Chen Yong suddenly retracted his strength and jumped back. I saw Da Zhuang sliding from under Chen Yong, and Da Zhuang also slashed horizontally, slashing towards the legs of the robed man.
The robed man was about to leap upwards to dodge the attack, when he saw two silver glittering swords coming through the night. So he put his feet away and dodged it with a backflip.
The previous Chen Yong had already landed, threw his knife at Jiang Yan in the back, and Chen Yong, who was empty-handed, pounced forward, grabbed the two big knives that were still approaching the robed man at high speed and stabbed the robe man's shoulder blades.
The robed man who landed on the ground bent his arm and grabbed the back of the big knife, and at this time, Bai Qingyuan jumped forward in the rear, and suddenly leaned over and knelt down on one knee, Jiang Yan stepped on Bai Qingyuan's back and jumped in the air, slashing at the top of the robed man's head.
The robed man grabbed the back of Chen Yong's stabbing knife, so that the two big knives could not get closer than half an inch, but the attack above his head also fell.
The robed man slashed his right foot and stepped on the knife in Da Zhuang's hand, and the big knife sank into the ground, and then the robed man lifted the big knife in Chen Yong's right hand to his shoulder, blocking Jiang Yan's vertical split.
Chi Shin, who had lost his figure in the battle, suddenly appeared behind the robed man at this time, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands, and hit the back of the robed man's heart.
The robed man turned around his waist and slapped Chi Shin with a palm. This is the subconscious action of the robed man, and it is too late to close the momentum. The tip of the knife pierced the palm, and the change of the robed man's palm in two did not appear, but only left a white mark between his fingers, and the knife forwarded.
The robed man squatted slightly, and the palm of the knife blocked hit Chixin's right shoulder, and the five fingers did not enter Chixin's right shoulder and smashed into Jiang Yan in the air. Then with a forward kick on his left leg, Chen Yong received a kick in his lower abdomen and flew out.
Da Zhuang kicked a sweeping leg on the calf of the robed man's right foot, but the robed man did not move at all, and the latter raised his leg with a kick, and the stout Da Zhuang was kicked like a baby.
Chen Yong, who was flying upside down in the air, threw the knife in his hand into the air, and at this time, Bai Qingyuan passed by him, took the big knife swinging in the air, put the two knives together, and then turned 720 degrees in the air, and slashed horizontally towards the robed man with the help of inertia.
And Chixin and Jiang Yan, who were smashed together, Chixin endured the sharp pain on his right shoulder, shrank his body violently, Jiang Yan tacitly exposed his spacious back, Chixin stepped on it, and stabbed at the robed man with his strength.
The two people who "flew" in the air slashed towards the robed man, and when he saw that he jumped hard, he dodged the attack of the two.
It was the robed man who deliberately distanced himself from the two of them, but the five of them didn't give him a chance to breathe. Chixin kicked the knife stuck in the ground back to Da Zhuang, and he raised the knife in his hand and attacked the robed man again.
Chen Yong and Bai Qingyuan, who were in the rear, staggered towards the robed man against the gap between the three in front of them, and when they approached the robed man, two gaps were exposed in the staggered running route of the three people.
So Chen Yong and Bai Qingyuan got into the gap, one slashing horizontally and the other vertically.
The robed man knew that the attack must be the two people hiding behind him, and Shi Cai was disturbed by the three of Chixin with a formation, and he couldn't see the attack route of the two people hiding behind him, seeing that the attack was coming, the robed man was also shocked in his heart, but the next moment his actions also surprised the five people.
The robed man did not retreat, but advanced, and dived forward against the attacking two.
Chen Yong's right arm holding the knife hit the robed man's left shoulder, and Bai Qingyuan's right arm holding the knife hit the robed man's left ribs.
And the three of Chixin, who blocked the retreat of the robed man, moved slightly, obviously not expecting that the robed man would use this way of exchanging injuries for injuries to alleviate the subsequent attack.
But there is no room for slackness in the middle of the battle. I saw that the man in the robe suddenly bent his arms around him, and his two arms were like shackles to strangle Chen Yong and Bai Qingyuan, who were already facing each other.
Chen Yong reacted a little faster, and when the robed man hadn't strangled his neck, he realized the motive of the black robe, and knew that it was too late to break free, so he hugged his stamina with his left hand, and in this way, Chen Yong was strangled with his arm.
But Bai Qingyuan couldn't react, his neck was strangled to death, and the two of them had obviously become "hostages" at this time.
Seeing this, the three of them immediately stopped what they were doing.
The robed man's chest rose and fell slightly, and said, "Do you need to work so hard? But I haven't felt this long-lost feeling of exuberance for a long time since the last war, and you guys make me very happy!." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to Chixin: "Especially you, little guy... ”
After the robed man finished speaking, he exerted his arm, and two "clicks" sounds, and several people's hearts were cold. The robed man threw Chen Yong like a ball, and Bai Qingyuan collapsed at his feet.
Chixin looked in Chen Yong's direction, Chen Yong's left arm had been deformed and bent, and it was already broken into several sections. And Bai Qingyuan, who fell at the feet of the robed man, was probably powerless at this time.
Chishin turned his head to stare at the robed man, took a deep breath and rushed over. There are no fancy moves, just a very simple horizontal split. But the speed had broken Chixin's usual strength, and the robed man leaned back slightly, and the tip of the knife slashed against his chest.
Chixin missed the knife and hurriedly swung the knife continuously. In a few breaths, Chishin had already slashed at the robed man dozens of times.
The robed man was surprised at how Chixin suddenly broke out with such a fierce attack, so he flicked a drop of blood flying on his body towards Chixin's eyes, and Chixin took a gear to block the blood droplets, and secretly screamed, "Oh no!"
When he wanted to make up for it again, the tip of the robed man's palm slowly enlarged in Chixin's eyes.
Chixin even had the sight of the tip of his palm piercing his skull in his mind, but at this time, his body was knocked open by a heavy object. Chi Xin, who was knocked away, turned his head in the air and saw that it was Da Zhuang who knocked himself away, and the palm of the robed man had already sunk into Da Zhuang's chest, and Da Zhuang took the opportunity to hug the robed man.
Jiang Yan, who was standing directly behind Da Zhuang, threw the knife into the air at Chixin, who reacted quickly and glared, and the tip of the knife immediately turned to the robed man, and directly took the head of the robe man.
The robed man who was surrounded by Da Zhuang didn't have time to dodge, and the blade slashed through the robed man's hood.
The big knife slashed, and the coat and hat fell and nailed to the ground.
The robed man let out a low roar, struggled hard, and knocked Da Zhuang away with one palm. Da Zhuang grabbed the robed man with his left hand, and as a result, Da Zhuang tore it apart along with the robed man's outer robe.
As the robed man's robe was torn, revealing his majestic upper body. But Chixin and the others were stunned on the spot, their minds blank.
They don't understand that the shirtless man in the robe is actually one
The Headless Man ...
