Chapter 10: Inside and Out
"It's going to blow itself up, everyone get out of the way!"
Regarding the slime's dying counterattack, to be honest, Jarrow was very unimpressed. Even a meteorite from the sky couldn't kill him, so how could he be afraid of such a level of self-detonation?
The reason why he didn't make a move before, except for that feeling of exhaustion, was mainly because he didn't want to make a move, and he even hoped that all four of Charles would die here! Of course, he also has an even crazier idea, which is to borrow monsters to kill himself!
The idea was there before he left the city, after all, killing himself was his long-standing wish! Whether it works out or not, he wants to try!
Why did you have this idea? In addition to having thousands of lives in his hands, the main thing is that he doesn't want to live, and that painful time makes him lose the meaning of living.
However, when Alice turned and ran towards the slime, who was on the verge of self-detonation, his heart stirred.
Although they had only been together for less than a day, Jarrow knew that Alice was not a reckless person. Of the five, she was the most thoughtful. She wouldn't make meaningless moves, how could she die easily when she came to this world for no reason? Even if she had to die, she wouldn't choose to die in such a place!
As he thought, Alice was not reckless. The moment she turned around with her sword, Jarrow noticed that she was muttering something softly, as if chanting some powerful magical incantation.
Jarrow couldn't see anything, it was nothing more than the damage of the longsword being temporarily inflicted with light magic. But when the sword plunged into the slime's fluorescent body, he realized that it wasn't the case.
Alice's job isn't to stop the slimes from blowing themselves up, and it's not to kill them. The sword wounds left by the red lotus before had all been repaired, but only the arrow wound that had not been repaired.
The arrow had already been dissolved by the slime's body, but the powder that remained in the wound not only hindered the self-repair of its bodily functions, but also caused it great pain, even worse than the salt sprinkled on the wound.
The arrow wound was originally small, but as the slime's body expanded, the arrow wound also magnified. Self-healing is already slow, and now that the wound has grown, it is not easy for the slime to remain sane.
All Alice has to do is plunge her sword into the wound and then use all her strength to knock the slime away. Even if you can't pick it up, you have to distance it from other people as much as possible.
As for why she did this, in addition to her instincts telling her that the self-detonation could not be stopped, but also because she didn't know how far the slime's self-detonation would be.
Of course, these are not the main reasons, no matter what, she will not work hard for the temporary team. Even if you have to work hard, it won't be this reason.
The reason for this is all because of the Knights (K
ight) at the time of the guild. If you can't even protect your teammates, then what kind of knight is you? Just facing the slime, you have to back down, it's a lot of a...
"Charles, don't be stupid and stand there, don't hurry up!"
In the face of Alice's threatening sword, the slime was still tenacious, but it was still repelled more than ten meters away.
Seeing that the most hateful cultivator was about to run a hundred meters away, it was very angry, so it exploded before all the magic power in its body was mobilized. Until the moment before it died, its eyes were still fixed on Xiu's back.
With a bang, the surrounding trees and ground were destroyed. The others said that Alice was miserable, and the next moment the slime blew herself up, her whole body was blown away, and the only long sword was blown into several pieces.
If it weren't for the white light she improvised, which was applied to the sword to form a small barrier of light, she would have been absolutely killed. It's a blessing to be hurt so much.
When Jarrow arrived, she was about to get up: "Don't move, although I can't heal magic, I still know some common sense, your arm injury must.."
"No, I'm fine, you all don't matter, right?"
After using the last shred of magic to treat the wound urgently, Alice collapsed limply in Jarrow's arms. Now she had no strength left to fight, but she just wanted to stand up, and Jarrow really didn't know what to say.
"Alice, you're too messy, aren't you? If it weren't for your luck, we'd be losing your important teammate! You did a good job just now, and when you get back, I'll buy you a good sword!" Don't move, I'll bandage your wound first. ”
If you choose to evacuate early, there may still be a chance, but it is too late. Xiu had just finished bandaging the wound on Alice's arm when the slimes who had been summoned by their companions appeared one after another. If you want to break through the layers of encirclement, it is estimated that it is very difficult.
Fortunately, the monsters were moving very slowly, and they still had time to prepare. Coming to this world in a daze, Red Lotus didn't want to die. She still has a lot of favorite clothes to buy and wear, and she still has a lot of delicious food that she hasn't enjoyed, how can she die in such a place!
Faced with such a life-and-death crisis, the first countermeasure she thought of was the bottle of medicinal powder that Xiu had: "Xiu, since that bottle of medicinal powder can hurt the monster, then take it out quickly!" ”
Seeing that the team members were injured, Xiu blamed himself. Aside from the two bottles of precious powder he had bought while wandering around, he didn't seem to be helping much.
Self-blame is self-blame, he must first take everyone out of danger. He handed one of the bottles of powder to Red Lotus, and he was applying the powder to the dagger that had not yet been officially used.
Jarrow was not afraid of death, but when he saw that everyone else was racking their brains about how to get out of trouble, he was a little touched: Is death really so terrible?
Before, he always wanted to face death calmly, but now seeing everyone's face full of anxiety, he has a new interpretation of death: death is something that everyone has to face, it may be really scary, but death does not mean the end!
However, it may be good to do something meaningful before death comes, such as peace of mind, after all, people don't want to leave too many regrets before they die!
There are too many regrets in Jarrow's heart, and in addition to self-destruction, his greatest wish is to resurrect the innocent who died because of him.
It was only after this incident that his mentality changed. He wanted the four people in front of him to go back alive, and he wanted to see how far they would grow in the future.
With this decision, Jarrow's whole temperament suddenly changed greatly, his eyes were no longer scattered, and his sharp gaze repeatedly looked at the slimes who were less than 30 meters away.
However, just when he wanted to let go of the big fight, Honglian shouted: "There are too many monsters, if you want to leave safely, it is estimated that it will be very difficult." I have a proposal, I'll be responsible for luring away some of the monsters, so you can take advantage of this time to get out of here! Don't worry, these slow slimes won't bother me, and I'll catch up with you soon! Both.."
Alice, who noticed the change in Jarrow, wanted to talk about it, but after listening to Honglian's words, she quickly put away her thoughts: "Honglian, your skills are very good, but you have to change your high heels, right?" Hmph, before leaving, I told you, let you change your high heels, you.. Forget it, you replace it first! ”
It was a pair of white cloth shoes in a transparent bag, and they looked very clean. Once Alice changed into her standard boots, she placed them in a mini backpack that she carried with her.
Honglian didn't refuse her kindness, and changed it slipperily, and she took action: "Thank you!" These shoes are nice and comfortable to wear! Don't worry, I'm not going to die! Feed! Blue-skinned snails, I'm here, come and catch me! ”
