Chapter 543: Dragging
This is an underground cave specially prepared by the Shadow Alliance, the same cave that Chu Tianjiang hid in two days ago, for members like Iskar. Compared to makeshift cellars, the cave is more complete. In addition to the narrow entrance, there are also well-hidden vents, so spending the night in the cave can raise the fire. Even if the Daredevil breaks in, there is a shelter to ensure that it can last until dawn.
Unfortunately, the cave was so badly damaged that even the shelter was destroyed.
The attack came suddenly.
Chu Tianjiang was probing the situation inside the cave, and Iska was preparing for the night outside. Hearing Iska's scream, Chu Tianjiang immediately rushed out.
A group of Daredevils were chasing Iska, and if it weren't for the Manyasteel longsword, she would have been finished.
The night had not yet fallen, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still outside.
Apparently, the Daredevil is hiding inside the cave, hiding from the sun.
Chu Tianjiang dared to hesitate, and immediately summoned the colorful battle armor, pulled out the Manyagang broadsword, rushed up to protect Iska, and then fought with Iskar out of the cave.
The afterglow of the setting sun blocked the night demons.
However, it will definitely not be possible to spend the night in the cave, and in a few minutes, the night will fall, and the night demons hiding nearby will come out.
What to do?
If he escaped, it would definitely be too late, and Iska was wounded, still in the thigh.
"You're fine, are you?"
"I'm fine, what now?" Iska's face turned pale. Although her speed was no slower than that of the Daredevil, her injuries prevented her from running.
"Stand still, don't move."
Chu Tianjiang examined the wound on Iska's thigh, which did not hurt the blood vessels and femur, but only tore the muscles, which was not a fatal injury, but it was enough to slow her down. Chu Tianjiang was confident that he could escape, and he could even hide himself, but Iskar couldn't do it.
"Your best option now is to leave her behind and run for your life alone." The voice of the figure appeared in Chu Tianjiang's mind. Because it was an exchange of consciousness, only Chu Tianjiang could hear it. "There are about a hundred night demons nearby, and it's dark in five minutes, so it's too late to escape."
Chu Tianjiang ignored it, tore off a piece of linen, and pierced it on the wound on Iska's thigh.
"If you stay, the probability of survival will not exceed 30 percent."
"Can you still fight?" Chu Tianjiang helped Iska to his feet. He also knew that leaving Iska was the best option, but he wouldn't do it.
The human figure is just a program that can make rational analysis, while Chu Tianjiang is a human being, and some are not just rational.
Iskar gritted her teeth and nodded.
"You stay here, and I'll deal with the Daredevils in the cave."
Skylar ......
Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, the sky was about to get dark, he had to clean up the night demon in the cave before that, let Iskar hide in the cave, and then go all out to deal with the night demon hiding nearby. Iskar was wounded, and even if he could fight, he would certainly not be a match for the Daredevil.
When dealing with the night demons, Chu Tianjiang didn't want to be held back by Iska.
"You're stupid to do that."
"I don't need you to teach me."
The figure sighed and said, "Anyway, you have to think about it. ”
"I've thought it through." Chu Tianjiang really thought it through, and his thoughts, the figure also knew it.
That is, in order to learn more about this world, Chu Tianjiang needs to find the Shadow Alliance through Iskar, and then decide what to do in the future.
"You can use Vantaa's superpowers."
"What?"
"High-frequency concussion knives."
"Only this one superpower?"
"If you're willing to transform, you can also have Vantaa's power, but you obviously don't want to be a monster. As for the superpowers in terms of protection, you have colorful armor and don't need it at all. The only thing you can use is the high-frequency oscillator. This superpower has been integrated into your genes and into the weapon system of the Colorful Warframe, so you don't need to transform to use it. ”
"How do I use it?"
The figure didn't make much introduction, bypassing Chu Tianjiang's consciousness control and activating the weapon system of the colorful battle armor.
A high-frequency concussion knife emitting white light stretched out from the wrist of the right hand of the colorful battle armor, and it could rotate with the wrist guard, and it could also be controlled by Chu Tianjiang's consciousness, which could be fixed on the wrist guard, on the hand, and even on the forearm.
"Only one?"
"There are two."
Another high-frequency concussion knife appeared on the bracer on the left.
"Compared to Vantaa's, the Colorful Warframe has improved the Concussion Knife, which vibrates at a higher frequency and can directly destroy the molecular and crystal structures of any matter."
"What do you mean?"
"Able to cut through anything."
"As long as it's material?"
"Of course, why don't you try it with the Manyasteel broadsword?"
Of course Chu Tianjiang didn't do this, even if the actual combat significance of that Manyagang broadsword was not very great, but there was always some decorative effect.
As Chu Tianjiang entered the cave, the night demons hiding inside immediately surrounded him.
The high-frequency concussion knife emits a cold light, no thermal radiation, and no radiation harmful to the night demon, so the night demon does not dodge.
At this time, outside the cave.
Iska was very anxious, because she knew that Chu Tianjiang did not leave, but returned to the cave to deal with the night demon, all for her. At the beginning, she originally wanted Chu Tianjiang to leave her alone, go directly to the next foothold, and then find the people of the Shadow Alliance. She knew that if she was injured, it would only drag Chu Tianjiang down, and she wouldn't be able to help at all. If Chu Tianjiang stays, he will definitely end up with her.
It's just that before Iska could say it, Chu Tianjiang entered the cave.
This is the third time that Chu Tianjiang has stood up for her, she doesn't know what to say, and her mood is also very complicated. In this world where everyone is in danger, not to mention strangers, even the warriors of the Shadow Alliance, rarely stand up for their companions. Everyone lives for self-preservation, even if they have common ideals and deep feelings, in front of the inevitable life and death, reason will prevail over emotion.
After tens of thousands of years of elimination, people whose actions are determined by emotions have long since become extinct.
Iskar knew that if she switched places and it was Chu Tianjiang who was injured, she would not hesitate to leave Chu Tianjiang behind and leave this ghost place.
However, Chu Tianjiang did not do this.
Iskar didn't know whether he should thank Chu Tianjiang or not, because in this world, "gratitude" is a luxury. In her education and training, there is also no content related to "gratitude". But at this time, Iskar had a completely different idea in his heart.
Chu Tianjiang saved her three times, shouldn't he be grateful?
If the first two times were coincidences, and Iska didn't think about asking Chu Tianjiang to save her, then this time it was completely different, and it was definitely not a coincidence. Chu Tianjiang had a more rational and better choice, but he did not let reason decide to act, but made the most irrational choice.
What kind of person is he?
Iskar waited, anxiously waiting.
She knew very well that her life was tied to Chu Tianjiang. If Chu Tianjiang died, then she wouldn't be able to live, and those night demons would tear her to pieces. She knew better that if Chu Tianjiang died here, it would be for her, not for someone else, because Chu Tianjiang could leave completely.
As the clock ticked by, the sun had set over the horizon and night was approaching.
There are also many caves nearby, and the Daredevil hides in them to hide from the daytime sun. After the last ray of light disappears, the night demon will dominate this world.
In the wilderness, the howl of the night demon was heard.
The Daredevil has no vocal cords and cannot speak like a human, but is capable of howling through his mouth and nose, making creepy sounds.
Iskar drew his sword.
This is the Manyagang long sword that Chu Tianjiang gave her, and it is a very good weapon. While normal weapons can kill the Daredevil, the sharp Manyasteel longsword is the most ideal weapon. At least when slashing the Night Demon, the Manyasteel longsword will never break due to lack of strength.
No matter what, Iskar could only pin his hopes on Chu Tianjiang.
A glimmer of light disappeared, and the first Daredevils came to the surface. More than 500 meters away, they had already smelled the scent emanating from the Iska.
Chu Tianjiang still hadn't come out, not even making a sound.
Glancing towards the cave, Iskar smiled a bleak smile.
When Chu Tianjiang said that he was the "savior", Iskar almost believed it, because he was too special and incompatible with his surroundings and other people. But Iskar now knows that he is not a savior, because according to the prophecy, the savior will never die.
Iska didn't run away, she had nowhere to run and couldn't escape at all.
It's just that she doesn't want to die here, she doesn't want to die yet. The prophecy had been fulfilled, and a new era was coming, and she wanted to see it.
What kept her going was the prophecy that had been passed down for thousands of years.
"Let's go inside."
Hearing a voice coming from behind him, Iska was startled. When she turned around and saw Chu Tianjiang, who was covered in gray-blue blood donations, she was even more stunned.
"The Daredevils inside are all dead, you go to the cave."
"You ......"
"I'll keep the mouth of the cave and won't let the Daredevils enter." Chu Tianjiang walked over. "I don't want to be held back by others when dealing with the Night Demon."
"You ......" Iska's surprise immediately dissipated, this guy is so hateful.
"Do you want me to deal with those night demons, or do you want to keep arguing with me?"
Iskar bit her lip and handed the long sword to Chu Tianjiang.
"What?"
"Two weapons are better than one."
"What about you?"
"I have this." Iskar pulled out the dagger pinned to her waist.
"Can this deal with the Daredevil?"
"I can't, but I can take it for myself, I don't want to be food for the night demon while I'm alive."
"Don't worry, we won't die." Chu Tianjiang took the long sword and retreated Iskar into the cave.
Hordes of night demons are approaching, and there will definitely be no more restful sleep this night.
