Chapter 44: The Moment of Life and Death
Snow clutched a wooden spear in his hand, and stood behind the wall and stabbed at a beast that had jumped onto the wall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He couldn't remember the first time he had poked a beast off the wall, or how many of them had broken through the crowd and jumped into the town. In short, the shouts of the people behind them mingled with the sound of ping-pong hits, occasionally accompanied by the roar of wild beasts and the groans of the inhabitants.
Snow knew that someone had been injured.
There were so many of these beasts that the smell of blood in the air made these hungry beasts go berserk and fearlessly pounce on the walls again and again. At this life-and-death juncture, the strength of the residents to survive in their hearts has also been fully stimulated.
Under Snow's angry roar, the residents quickly split into two teams. Abra and Snow led a team to defend the wall, while Mandasen and the others cooperated with each other to scatter and surround the beasts that jumped into the town, killing them one by one.
But these beasts are not under Elena's control, they are stronger than humans in terms of speed, agility, and strength. The only thing the inhabitants can rely on is their numerical superiority, their weapons, and their determination to defend the town of Rook to the death. Fortunately, there was no signal for rescue from the other three sides of the town, and the high wall with thin ice on the surface played a good role.
Abra stood beside Snow, doing his best to keep Snow safe while attacking the beasts that had scurried up the walls. Amid the noise, Snow could still hear the sound of wild beasts falling into traps outside the town. This suggests that Elena is helping.
Not far outside the town, Elena was constantly casting her magic under the protection of the man-bear and the panther. Although the beasts noticed Elena, they finally chose to attack the town under the warning of the roaring panther and the man-bear.
Elena had just gone to the west of town and lured dozens of beasts into a trap. In the few minutes since she left, the pressure on the residents of the north has doubled. By the time Elena returned again, many of the beasts had broken through the defenses and rushed into the town.
At this time, the three major traps in the north of the town have been completely exposed, and it is impossible to control dozens of beasts to kill themselves. Elena can only cast her magic and control the beasts to jump into the trap one by one. As a result, the efficiency is significantly reduced. The worst thing is that Elena's mana is depleting rapidly. Not only does she have to control the beast to jump into the trap, but she also has to control the panther and the man-bear to protect herself, and her mana is about to run out. Just now, a beast under her control was visibly struggling at the edge of the trap.
"Everyone pay attention to cooperate with each other, and don't attack alone!" Mandason yelled.
"It's not going to go on like this." Snow turned his head and said, "Blow the distress signal and let the other three sides pull out their hands to help!" ”
Abra also knew that he couldn't hold it like this, so he hurriedly picked up the warning whistle hanging around his neck, took a breath and blew three long and two short syllables.
Just as Abra blew the whistle, the two beasts jumped on the wall in front of Snow almost simultaneously, and then pounced on Snow and Abra without hesitation. At this time, Abra couldn't make a defensive move at all, and Snow didn't have time to think too much, so he raised his spear and stabbed the beast that pounced on Abra.
Looking back, Snow saw a hideous beast face less than half a meter away from him.
For a moment, Snow felt as if time had slowed down indefinitely. He could clearly see every movement of the beast, every look, even the saliva hanging from the corner of its mouth. Snow knew that the beast was coming at his neck. If you are bitten and don't die in time, you will have to be infected by all kinds of bacteria and die of pain.
Snow wanted to bend down to dodge, but now he was just thinking at a high speed, and his body was out of control.
Snow also noticed Abra on the side, whose pupils were dilated with horror, and all he could do now was watch himself being bitten to death.
Just when Snow was desperately about to close his eyes and wait for death, he suddenly saw a dark green light spot the size of a thumb, and quickly flew towards the beast in front of him. Snow looked closely, and the dark green light was in the shape of a water droplet, and it disappeared into the beast's body in the blink of an eye.
Then time returned to normal, and Snow was instantly knocked to the ground by the beast. However, the beast did not bite Snow, but pressed his front paws against Snow's chest, and his face was full of struggle.
Snow knew that it was Elena who saved him at the critical moment. But looking at the beast's struggling expression, Elena's mana may have been depleted.
Fortunately, Abra reacted quickly, stepped forward and kicked the beast to the ground, then raised the long sword in his hand and plunged it into its soft abdomen. The beast, which almost took Snow's nickname, was stabbed by a slash from Abra's gnashing teeth, and he whimpered.
"Mayor Town, are you alright?!" Abra hurriedly ran to Snow's side, crouched down and asked hurriedly. Snow's practice of sacrificing his life to protect him just now made this big man cry. In addition to his own parents, Snow was the first person to protect himself regardless of the danger, how could he not be moved.
"I can't die yet." Snow stood up with palpitations, if it weren't for Elena's quick eyes just now, his neck would have been bitten off by now. The other members of the guard on the side hurriedly surrounded Snow and protected Snow.
"Hey, why are you still crying?" Snow got up and rubbed his chest, and when he looked up at Abra with tears on his face, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Mayor Town, from today onwards, my life is yours." Abra wiped his face and said solemnly.
"Now is not the time to show loyalty, hurry up and help defend yourself." Snow patted Abra on the shoulder, picked up the spear on the ground, and walked behind the wall.
At this time, many residents from the other three sides rushed over, because of the advantage of the high wall of the wall, the pressure on the west side was very small. And there are not many beasts in the east, and there is not even a single beast hair in the south. Obviously, these beasts were not stupid, and they could see that the entire town was weakest except for the northern wall, so most of them looked for a breakthrough from Snow's side.
As soon as the help from three sides arrived, the pressure on Mandasen and the others instantly decreased. The dozen or so beasts that attacked the town were quickly surrounded by the big guys, and their knives, forks, and sticks were beaten indiscriminately. Although these beasts are fierce, the inhabitants have also risked their lives. A few minutes later, the beasts of the town were beaten to pulp.
At the same time, the number of defenders behind the wall doubled, and the beasts frantically climbed the wall and were beaten down by the crazy inhabitants.
Snow hid behind the wall, searching for Elena in the direction of the previous magic light. The expression of the beast's struggle just now showed that Elena had consumed too much mana, how could Snow not be worried. But after searching for a long time, Snow found no trace of Elena.
At this moment, a member of the escort pointed out of the town and shouted nervously, "The Wild Wolf King, it's the Wild Wolf King." ”
Snow turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a huge wolf king, walking towards the wall. The small beasts next to them all hid far away, using distance to show awe.
