Chapter 40
The mechanical prosthetic was pressed against the slippery wall of the sewer and pushed forward, the noise of friction that could be heard far away in the dark. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The wheals at the feet of the Eastern Pegasus pressed an oval-shaped vortex on the surface of the sewage, driving his body forward. In the face of an opponent like Leopard Mu Chong, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while, if it was a head-on hard fight, he might be slightly better in speed, but the ghost hand was a wooden sword after all, and there was a big gap compared to the mechanical prosthetic limbs that were manifested in the soul pattern ability.
Megumi kept following the two of them, and Leopard Eye Chong only went after Dongfang Tianma, ignoring her at all.
Unable to see the situation ahead in the dark, Dongfang Tianma hit his head against the hard and slippery wall, and suddenly felt dizzy, and there was a dead end in front of him.
Leopard Eye rushed behind him, and the mechanical prosthetic leg was dragged up by his palm, aiming at the back of the Eastern Pegasus. A pair of long strips of metal tubes spread out from both sides of the prosthetic, like two gun barrels without handles, from which two black arrows were fired, far more powerful than ordinary arrows. The Eastern Pegasus didn't have a chance to react, as an arrow stabbed him in the back, and another flew under his armpit, half of which stabbed into the wall.
Dongfang Tianma turned around in pain, and swung it straight at the face of the leopard with both hands, but the leopard eye chong easily dodged with just a tilt of his head, and the tip of the knife on the mechanical prosthetic limb stabbed straight to the belly of Dongfang Tianma. The tip of the knife rests on the navel, the shade of the blade penetrates through the skin to the heart, and the Eastern Pegasus feels that hell and the human world are only a thin line for him, and death or life has become an ethereal concept. However, the blade of the leopard eye did not advance a single cent, and it just stood still. Dongfang Tianma looked closely at the dark front, and found that the leopard eyes were standing there straight, his eyes wide open, and his face was slightly hideous, as unnatural as a dummy.
His feet in the water felt the water flow chaotic, and then there were many things moving back and forth making a chaotic sound, and if it weren't for the wheals of the Arashi Wind Barrier, these things would have immediately approached his body. Dongfang Tianma realized the protective effect of the Lan Feng Barrier, and immediately used more soul pattern energy to stabilize the Lan Feng Barrier, and the swirl shape soul pattern in his palm was full of light, and with the light, he finally saw the situation around him clearly.
Densely packed, constantly wriggling rat swarms, black, gray, white. On top of that, these guys are hungry ghosts who will approach frantically at the slightest smell of blood, gnawing at everything they can eat with their sharp teeth.
In just a few minutes, Leopard Muchong's body was gnawed to the point that only a pair of bones remained, and there were many mice who had not tasted the taste of flesh and blood, and they actually came up with the idea of a mechanical prosthetic, and the sound of teeth biting on metal was repeated in the darkness for a moment. Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the mechanical prosthetic disappeared with the loss of the energy of the Leopard Eye Soul Pattern.
Dongfang Tianma suddenly remembered the paper kite, and in the darkness he didn't know where she was, bypassing the bones of the leopard, and struggling to advance among the rats, one by one the big rats with their slender tails jumped out of the sewage, stretched out their sharp teeth and claws to pounce on him, but they were all stopped by the wind barrier and fell back into the water.
At this time, a mouse formed entirely of water appeared in the sight of the Eastern Pegasus. He immediately realized that this water rat was copied by the ability of the Hui Paper Kite Soul Pattern, because the whole body was formed by water, and the real rats around him were not interested in it.
The farther you go, the more water rats appear, and the rats follow closely. Dongfang Pegasus struggled to climb onto the platform by the side of the drain, and immediately felt a heart-rending pain from the wound of the arrow, and he took off the backpack behind him and found the small medicine bag that Aunt Qing had prepared for him. It was full of everyday medicines such as cold medicines and antidiarrheal medicines, and among them was a white porcelain bottle plugged with a wooden cork, which contained a powder specially designed to stop bleeding. There are many herbs in the mountains and forests around Fengqi Village that have a very good effect on stopping bleeding, and Aunt Qing often picks them and grinds them into powder, and if Dongfang Tianma is injured while practicing swords, she will sprinkle the powder on the wound and it will have an immediate effect.
When he pulled out the arrow from his body, Dongfang Tianma convulsed in pain, he held his hand tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and as soon as his consciousness relaxed slightly, Lan Feng Barrier could not maintain a defensive state, and a black mouse that climbed onto the platform from the drainage channel also seemed to rush up, biting off a piece of meat on his arm in an instant.
Dongfang Tianma didn't dare to slack off, cheered up, first maintained the Lan Feng barrier, and then applied medicinal powder to the bleeding arrow wound. At this time, a voice came from the front and said, "How are you?" ”
Dongfang Tianma looked up, only to see Hui Paper Kite walking over surrounded by a swarm of rats, her whole body was wrapped in a curtain of water, and the mice would copy the water rats at the slightest contact, and then the water mice would be mixed in the swarm of rats to go in all directions. It was with these water rats that Hui Paper Kite found Dongfang Tianma.
"I'm fine, I just got an arrow." Dongfang Tianma replied while wrapping the wound with gauze in a small medicine bag. The sewers were as dark as night, and they couldn't make out the path they had come from after a long time of life and death.
Hui Paper Kite sat down next to Dongfang Tianma, sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this......" She stopped talking, and her beautiful eyes showed a frustration that she had never felt before.
Dongfang Pegasus looked at her side face and said, "Get out of here!" We can't do much with our skills. ”
Hui Paper Kite shook her head vigorously, "No, I have to go back." ”
"Even if you go now, you're just giving your life in vain, not to mention that we don't even know where your three brothers are."
Hui Paper Kite slowly raised her head, her gaze was less lively but more gentle, "I haven't told you about me all this time, have you?" In fact, I was raised as a burden from a young age, and my father was a notoriously scoundrel in the town, and I lived with him for as long as I could remember, and I didn't even know who my mother was. In the autumn of one year when I was a little older, my father sold me to a slave trader to pay off my gambling debts, and I lived an inhuman life away from my homeland. During that time, I saw no hope in my life at all, and I worked every day as a coolie that adults were overwhelmed, and I saw the darkest and cruelest side of the world. It was these three brothers who brought me hope, and although they were not righteous people, and they were also eyeing the slave traders' money, they were the ones who had loosened the cold shackles that bound me. Although I didn't have gentle comfort and a smile full of understanding, I was a benefactor who gave me a second freedom. Now that I think about it, that's when my life suddenly grew. I learned to curry favor with my body with men, and then exchange them for protection and benefits, and the soul stones were coaxed from those people. I was willing to find a target for my three elder brothers, and I didn't care how many golden soul stones they gave me, I was just repaying the favor, just thanking them from the bottom of my heart. My life...... Can't live without them. ”
It's the first time that Megumi has said something that has been stored in her heart to others, and she is always good at performing flawless lies in front of all kinds of men, but when Dongfang Tianma is around, she even treats lies as the truth. Maybe it's because she likes Dongfang Tianma very much, or maybe the man in front of her really has the ability to make women can't lie. In any case, she felt very satisfied to be able to tell her past so happily.
The rats were still scrambling to gather, and Dongfang Tianma picked up the one at his feet with his ghostly hand, stood up with difficulty, stared at the darkness in front of him, and said, "I must go back alive!" I have to get back to Aunt Qing and everyone. Even if you have a life-saving grace for me, I will not do this kind of thing with you knowing that I will die. With that, he walked along the platform by the drain.
Hui Paper Kite hurriedly stood up, her heart was uneasy, she wanted to rescue the three heroes of Yanyun Mountain, but also worried about Dongfang Tianma's injury. After a moment's hesitation, she bit her lip, puffed out one cheek, and stomped her foot after the back of the figure in front of her who was about to disappear into the darkness.
The words are divided into two ends, and the battle on the ground is just as tragic as the bloody fight that took place in the sewers. The red scales behind the palace were left alone to fight against more than a hundred imperial capital guards, and the roaring ice horned beast rampaged through the crowd, and the scene was a chaotic scene.
"Surround him! This guy is out of gas. Wei Baitang stood in the attic and ordered loudly, Rao was like this, but no one dared to take a step forward.
A hand was lightly placed on Wei Baitang's shoulder, and his attention was all focused on the execution ground, not noticing the situation behind him.
A sharp knife pierced Wei Baitang's back and then out of his chest, the blood-stained tip reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
Before Wei Baitang could turn his head to look, a familiar voice came from behind him: "I'm really sorry Chief Wei, although we have worked together for many years, we can't help but make this decision." ”
"You ...... Bastard ...... "Wei Baitang has already heard who is behind him, but he can't even speak, and it is impossible to look back.
The sharp knife was drawn from Wei Baitang's chest, and the owner of the voice ascended to the platform from the dark part of the room, it was Jia Changsheng, the leader of the city-state swordsman team who had secretly talked to Wei Baitang before.
Jia Changsheng stared at Wei Baitang, who was not yet dead, and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, the times are different, as soon as the old king dies, the political situation will be replaced by a newcomer immediately." I'm also looking for a good future for myself, don't blame me when you get there, everyone is also here to get promoted and make a fortune. Oh! I forgot to tell you. The three heroes of Yanyun Mountain have been released by me, of course! All of this is a serious consequence of your dereliction of duty, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Under the command of Jia Changsheng, the members of the city-state swordsman regiment gathered from all over the city gradually formed a siege of the imperial capital guards. The Imperial Capital Guards were attacked on their backs, and some of them died at the hands of friendly swords before they could understand what was happening.
Red Scale took advantage of the chaos to get into the entrance of the sewer and escaped, he was not familiar with the environment in the sewer, and he had consumed too much physical strength in the battle just now, and after running for a distance, he stopped to rest, but was attracted by the light from the flashlight that the rat spirit and others had landed on the platform. When I got closer, I saw that the corpses of the members of the Red Lin Regiment were lying there, all of them were white bones.
It is unknown what happened to the red scales, but seeing that the bones of his brother who followed him to death were not cold, the pain in his heart was uncontrollable, hot tears dripped silently from his eyes, and his mind was full of the voices and smiles of his brothers.
In the dark, the rats silently surrounded them.
