Gordon immediately turned back and retreated to the foot of the cliff. He had never imagined that the fragrance of the gem flower would spread so quickly and so far. As far as the eye can see, colorful animal patterns sparkle like waves, sweeping from the great river to the west, the rocky beaches to the north, and the jungle to the east. He had no choice but to climb over the cliff and flee to the south, where he must have been surrounded by ferocious beasts.
Gordon's eyes flickered, and he suddenly pulled out the Ice Chrysanthemum Dagger, jumped up the cliff, and ran towards the cave where the freckles were.
Jumping all the way, the dagger swept up a heavy cold light, like a star pill jumping and flickering. The water burginers blocking the road kept splashing blood and falling, and fell into a mess of flesh at the bottom of the cliff. Gordon clings to the rock with his left hand, his right wrist shaking, and the Ice Chrysanthemum dagger picks out a series of light arcs that pierce the water porcupine's weakest throat.
Compared with the simple and direct martial arts of Freckles, Gordon's technique is called flowery and branching, and each blow is either curved or straight, or suddenly changes direction, and the trajectory is confusing and erratic. When the dagger stabs the water porcupine, the force is also unpredictable, sometimes straight forward, sometimes horizontally, sometimes a sharp tremble, changing the force in an instant, expanding the lethality to the limit.
All the large blood vessels in the neck of the dagger are cut. Even if he was not dead on the spot, if he moved slightly, the blood vessels immediately collapsed, and blood gushed like a spring.
Breaking through the gap in the rat colony, Gordon killed the entrance of the cave in one go, and the ice chrysanthemum dagger shook continuously, knocking over the four water porcupines back and forth, and at the same time grabbed the rock wall of the cave with his left arm, and his body bounced up, flashing the sharp thorns shot by the water porcupine from below.
A short knife slammed out of the cavern and stabbed the back of Gordon's left hand. Gordon suddenly let go, the man slid down, grabbed the tor with his left palm halfway, hung on it, and shouted: "Freckles, I'm Gordon!" ”
"Gordon?" Freckles swung his short knife and slashed a water porcupine, poking his head out of the burrow in amazement, and was immediately forced into it by the raging rats.
Gordon's right arm swiped, and the Ice Chrysanthemum dagger flashed in a dazzling arc. At the point of the arc, several water porcupine rats fell down, and suddenly exploded in mid-air, and the flesh and blood foam splashed like rain.
Gordon kicked his toes against the rock wall and scurried towards the cave again, and the ice chrysanthemum dagger stabbed silently, stabbing through a freckled water porcupine. At the same time, Freckles turned sideways and let Gordon rush into the cave, slashing out behind Gordon with short knives in his hands, and the two water porcupines that followed him broke into bloody pieces.
As he passed, Gordon took a deep look at the freckles: his complexion lacked lustre, his eyes were dark, and his puffy lips had a faint hint of dark purple, which was indeed a symptom of regular use of coca potions.
"Hell, how could it be you? We all thought you were dead, and Atai and Redfur have been looking for you for months! Freckles gasped and turned, turning his back to Gordon to regain his grip on the hole. Silver Fox said that it was impossible for a newcomer to stay down there for so long. If you don't return to base after three months, you're dead. I've heard that the spider himself went out and couldn't find you. ”
"There will always be exceptions." Gordon was suspicious in his heart, the spider obviously took himself too seriously, and he didn't believe that the people of the Blood Prison Society would be so kind.
Freckles said again: "Why did you come to the other side of the river, have you been hunting here?" ”
Gordon smiled noncommittally and looked at the gem flower on the ground.
Freckles shouted, "I almost forgot, do me a favor and close the wooden box of shit!" ”
"It's too late, the fragrance of the gem flower has already come out, and the fierce beasts in the vicinity have all run over, almost tens of thousands." Gordon stooped down and grabbed the wooden box, fastened the lid, and threw it out of the hole.
"Damn, what are you messing around?" Freckles seemed to have eyes on their backs, and their arms probed to grab in the direction where the wooden box was thrown. The material fluttered into the air, Gordon just made a feint, and the wooden box jumped lightly, and fell back into his palm.
"You should understand that we can't stop those crazy beasts. If you want to survive, you can only give up the gem flower. Gordon looked directly at Freckles' back, not so much that the other party had eyes behind him, but that Freckles had been on guard, observing himself from the corner of his eye.
It's the instinct of an undercover agent. No matter where you are or who you are facing, always be wary.
"No way!" Freckles flatly refused, and the thin shadow was reflected on the cave wall, and his face was tense and distorted.
Gordon frowned slightly: "You know very well that no matter how much you delay time and resist, it is impossible for the two of us to keep this gem flower." Once we die, the gem flower will eventually be devoured by the beast. Be sober, even if you are subject to coca potions, it is better than dying in vain. ”
"Redhair, Atay, and Tricy all need gem flowers, how can I throw it away?" Freckles roared hoarsely, distracted for a moment, and his shoulder was torn open by a water porcupine.
Gordon's heart sank suddenly: "Everyone took coca potion? ”
"Nonsense, doesn't your head hurt?" Freckles shouted without thinking, and was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Gordon, "Strange, why are you okay, didn't your totem appear to backlash?" ”
A water porcupine took advantage of the gap and slipped under the freckle's crotch, and Gordon raised the dagger and nailed it to the ground. "What's wrong with your fused beast totem?" He stared at the blood that meandered across his heels, masking in thought. Of course, the totem ritual of the Blood Hell Society has hidden dangers, and it is only a matter of time before it backfires. The Blood Prison Society must have been prepared for a long time, and it was just with the help of the counterattack that they could better control them.
Freckles gritted his teeth while killing the water porcupine rats: "At first, I just felt a little dizzy, and I didn't take it seriously. About three months ago, my head suddenly ached, and the illusion of the beast totem repeatedly appeared in front of my eyes, and I still had nightmares. Everyone else is similar to me, and the silver fox says it's a totemic repulsion, and let's take coca medicine to relieve pain. ”
"So you're slowly getting addicted."
"I told them not to touch it, but then even I couldn't take it anymore! The headache is getting worse and worse, one after another, it seems that there are fierce beast's claws tearing in the head, and the pain is so bad that I can't sleep all night, it's worse than death! Freckles explained, trying her best to kill the water porcupine. His twin knives gradually splashed out of the sparks, which were the source power characteristics of the flames, and with one slash, the skin of the water porcupine was charred and the wound was smoking.
"Do you need me to replace you?" Gordon asked quietly, freckles obviously unable to support it, and began to use the power of the beast totem. His movements became more and more clumsy, and he was covered in countless wounds and bleeding.
Freckles hesitated: "Not for the time being." ”
Gordon knew that Freckles was afraid that he would throw away the gem flower as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, so he stuck to the cave and did not back down.
"How long can you hold out?" Gordon held the Ice Chrysanthemum Dagger, and the snowy dagger reflected his cold eyes. If Freckles is stubborn, he can only kill the other party and save himself.
