Chapter 15: Black Gloves
Chen Zhi took a step ahead of Gu Lian, and leaned in along the wall of the grotto, Gu Lian was naturally happy to pick up the bargain. Breaking into the enemy camp? She had never done such an exciting thing in her life.
Chen Zhi easily eliminated the skeletons that stood in the way, and they walked unimpeded for dozens of meters, and their marching footsteps finally stopped.
A skeleton is protected by the skeletons in the posture of the stars and the moon.
The skeleton was stiffer and stuber than the bones around it, a head taller, and although it was expressionless, its chin was slightly raised, reserved.
Gu Lian's gaze shifted to its hands, the white bones that should have been dry bones were actually wearing black leather gloves that exposed Sensen's knuckles! Gu Lian was so shocked that she was about to cough up blood, and her soul was scattered.
However, soon, Gu Lian didn't have the time to appreciate and explore this maverick skeleton.
The skeletons were gearing up, and their morale was much stronger than the hundreds she had encountered along the way. The narrow and dim wall passage was full of skeletons, and Chen Zhi's straight back was her only support.
"Gu Lian!"
Chen Zhiqing drank.
She suppressed her fear and responded, "I know!"
Chen Zhi nodded with his back to her, and after a pause, he said: "Do your best, if it's really dangerous...... Maybe he didn't say this kind of thing in ordinary times, and this was brewing again and again before it was solemnly said by the cold man, "You just withdraw it." β
I can't really fight, looking at her, I'll be stupid to die. Gu Lian wanted to say thank Ye for his kindness, but unfortunately the occasion was not right, and she was also afraid of him. Thinking about how useless she is, all kinds of creatures on the field, she is not afraid of all of them.
Chen Zhi's action of drawing his sword caused the skeleton that was still measuring to make a move in an instant, and he pounced on it, opening his teeth and claws with his empty mouth wide open. Chen Zhi slashed horizontally with a sword and fell down a batch. With another vertical stroke, a passage was cut. Gu Lian followed Chen Zhi through the passage, and was about to run out of the encirclement, but her hair was caught, she screamed in pain, and fell backwards.
"Don't move!"
Chen Zhi shouted, holding her sword horizontally around her waist, the end of her hair was cut off diagonally, and her black hair was raised. There was a skeleton behind him, and the two were encircled, but Chen Zhi seemed to have eyes behind his back, a backhand sword, and at the same time dodged a palm in front of him, and rolled out of the circle with her.
In front of him was the boss-level skeleton with extraordinary demeanor and gloves. Gu Lian was dizzy, and before she could react, she was pushed aside by Chen Zhi, her head slammed into the protruding place of the wall, and there was a buzzing sound, and the pain was terrible. But when life and death were at stake, when she made great achievements, she almost instinctively got up, dodged a white bone palm wearing black leather gloves, and stumbled forward in the sound of Chen Zhi's sword.
There was a passage all the way, and she was afraid that she couldn't do it, for fear that there would be a skeleton in front of her that would suddenly rush out. However, the road was extremely quiet, and the silence was terrifying. She looked back from time to time, always feeling that something was following her, but in the end there was only messy footsteps chasing her.
She was getting scared and her heart was beating to her throat. At this moment, at a turn, suddenly a strong wind sprayed with a fishy smell, and she was blown to roll and hit the wall, choking and collapsing there, desperately gasping, fear made her gasp.
It turned out that the front was suddenly bright, and it was a bright and spacious stone room. Ten meters away, there was a stone platform, on which lay a behemoth: it was a blue wolf with an almost gray color, three or four meters long, one meter high, and its tail dragged out a meter, and it hung on the ground with grievances, almost faded. Its limbs were chained, and it was dying, breathing heavily, and every breath was hot and damp. It looked like it was going to die of its weight in the next second, but the awe-inspiring gaze and almost mocking arrogance of its eyes when it raised its eyes, and the fierce teeth that rubbed together, all declared its majesty inviolable.
Just now, she was actually overturned by the breath it exhaled?!
Nima, how did she not know that she was so light before!
Gu Lian was shocked beyond words, looking at the decimeter-long stainless steel dagger in her hand, and then looking at the wolf's head whose fur was longer than her dagger, she wanted to roar in a frenzy and depression.
This, this, this...... Chen Zhi! How can she do her best! She dares to swear by this little life! If she gets up, it will smack itself before she stabs it!!
She sat against the wall, silently staring at the unpretentious wolf head from a distance, desperately trying to hit the wall.
If she runs back without a fight now, will she be hacked to death by friendly forces?!
Minutes and seconds passed.
It was quiet, as if there was no unusually fierce battle outside. Humans, skeletons, and wolves. Each other fights for survival and profit.
If she ignored the stench and the stabbing eyes like a cold sword, she would have thought that she was sitting quietly in some unknown place of interest.
However, the wolf's head exhaled and inhaled evenly, like a blower, blowing her scalp numb, facing reality.
"I ...... Willing to let you out. β
Gu Lian opened her mouth and tried to communicate. She needed such a merit for her to stand on her feet.
The head wolf didn't react. Its eyes grew even more mocking.
Can you understand?" Gu Lian was puzzled and continued to speak: "My companions, surrounded by your sons. They are fighting. Maybe one of your wolves might have lost his life while I said thatβyou understand?"
The wolf's eyes widened slightly.
Gu Lian frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "If you are willing, we can destroy this dare to restrain you, humiliate you, use the skeletons of the wolves, and take revenge on you, are you willing?" β
The wolf stared at her with its fierce green eyes for a long time, and nodded slowly.
Gu Lian was overjoyed, got up and walked forward steadily, seemingly calm and cautious, but in fact, she was worried every step of the way. Seeing that it didn't move, Gu Lian was a little relieved, and finally walked to a position five steps away, looking at how to let go of it.
Its limbs were locked, and iron rings were attached to the walls in four places with thick chains attached to the crooks of the arms. The wolf looked dying, and Gu Lian remembered what Wei Xuan had said that the most terrifying thing about a mid-grade skeleton was miasma, which would make people weak, paralyzed, and lacking in energy, and it was estimated that this was the case.
She decided to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, took out the yellow bottle of potion, squatted down and looked directly at the terrible wolf who looked at the big one closely, and said clearly word by word: "This is a medicine that can make people recover, I don't know if it will be useful for you, and I don't know if you can trust me." It's up to you to decide whether to use it or not. β
If it doubted her, even if she forced it, she believed it would open its mouth and cut her in half. I don't know if the skeleton gave it food during this time, but the mouth that could be half the size of her opened slightly, revealing sharp and sharp teeth, and the scarlet and rough tongue between the teeth was exposed, and a string of saliva hung down weakly.
Amitabha, she doesn't want to be fodder.
"When you're recovered, you can break free from the chains, destroy the skeletons, take revenge, save your men's children and grandchildren, and find food to eat. If you can't recover, you will stay here forever, forever bound by a group of faceless skeletons, you can't survive and die, humiliated for a lifetime, and your companions will lose their wise and arrogant leaders, and they will all die in a few years. β
The head wolf was provoked by Gu Lian's words to let out a low roar, twisting his weak body, the chains collided and shook with a dull sound, and his green eyes became bloody, cruel and angry.
Gu Lian tightened her teeth, tried to suppress her instinct to escape, and her face did not change and remained motionless. Humans are naturally terrified of large creatures, and the horror of a wolf that cannot be felt when it is seen up close is not immersive.
She took a deep breath and said, "Y-would you like to try?"
The head wolf howled angrily, and the breath that spewed out made her body sway uncontrollably, and her face turned pale. It opened its mouth and a dark throat almost appeared in front of her, and above her head were dagger-like teeth, and if she wanted to, she could now count how many teeth it had!
Gu Lian almost fainted, but fortunately, the wolf's mouth stopped there and did not move, and she realized that her little hands trembled and laboriously unscrewed the stopper, and threw the potion into it like explosives-it was really not enough to see!
The head wolf whimpered in his throat and slowly closed his mouth, Gu Lian's feet were weak, and he touched his face, although it was as cold as ice, he was tense in the end.
