Chapter 232: Bloodstained Oath
"Let's go!"
As soon as the Emperor grabbed Merlin's hand, he ran back, and the boulder that had fallen directly above his head almost grazed his elbow and sank to the ground.
"Ah......h
Merlin exclaimed softly, and the tense muscles of his body immediately gave up resistance, and honestly let the emperor run with him.
The caverns were loud and not actually that dangerous, especially in the zenith, where the largest stones almost all paused for a moment before falling.
Huang Taiyi knew what the reason was.
The King of Beasts resisted when his sanity was still clear, otherwise he would never have been so dangerous.
So now he has made up his mind about it.
"What's going on inside! What about the king! β
The black panther and a group of primitive hunks, who were waiting outside, had to leave the cave entrance temporarily because of the loud noise, and when they saw the two people running out, they immediately surrounded them anxiously.
"Run! The King of the Beasts has been infectedβyou all already know it! β
The Emperor let go of Merlin's hand and shouted at the macho men.
"I still can't hold on...... Brothers! β
The panther was not at all surprised to hear such words, and he drew his spear solemnly, and raised his arms and exhaled.
Indeed, I have known this for a long time.
"The king is ......"
"Woo ......"
"Cheer me up! Don't disgrace the king! Hold on to your weapons! β
"Yes!"
The grief of the primitive hunks lasted only a short time.
Now, they have been inspired by each other to return to the state of a fierce warrior, and they no longer have any doubts about death.
"Don't you ......?"
Remembering the scene when the beast man was killed, Merlin already understood what they were going to do, and swallowed the second half of his words.
"This is our last task, and it was also given by the king himself, it's a pity that I can't help more, you guys go first."
The panther clenched the sharp spear in both hands, and smiled unconcernedly, a smile that was not pretty, but seemed to be shining.
"But your strength ......"
Boom β
The sound of an explosion that was even more terrifying than the collapse just now covered Huang Taiyi's words.
The boulders that had piled up and completely blocked the entrance to the cave were rushed away by a powerful brute force, and a large hand that almost no longer belonged to a human was stretched out from inside, and a primitive hunk was grabbed with five fingers and one piece.
"Roar, ahhh
The primitive macho man's whole body was in pain as if he was about to be crushed, but he did not reciprocate with a wail, but a roar that could shake the wilderness.
He grabbed the spear and pierced his chest with all his might.
The spears used by these men appeared to be crude, but in fact they were sturdy and sharp, and the tip of the spear pierced through his back, and at the same time pierced the giant hand that had grabbed him, and the bloody spear pierced along with the giant hand.
The brain-tingling sound stimulated Huang Taiyi's eardrums, like the sound of crushing a tomato.
The giant hands clenched into fists were indeed dripping with bright red juice.
"You...... You're ......"
Merlin's eyes lit up with anger, and he drew his sword to attack.
"Wait a minute! Wait for him to come out first! Stand back! He has already handed over this matter to us! So it's our obligation! β
Huang Taiyi waved his cane and pressed Merlin's hand to draw his sword at the last moment, finally temporarily stopping her movements.
"Huh? Brothers! Stand back for now! β
The black panther believed Huang Taiyi's words, and immediately ordered the primitive macho men to stay away for the time being.
He himself held the idea of dying together, and he was not afraid of death for a long time, so of course there was no need to suspect anything.
"At least let him leave without pain."
Huang Taiyi lowered his body slightly, ready to draw his sword.
"Ming...... Got it! β
Merlin's overly agitated emotions eased slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the entrance to the cave, beads of sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.
Boom β
"Ahhhh
The cave was completely smashed open, and the giant, which seemed to be larger than the cave, roared into the sky with teeth and claws.
For some reason, what the emperor heard was like a crying voice.
The giant, the king of beasts, did not take the initiative to attack, but clenched his head with a force that almost crushed his own skull, and roared more painfully than the other.
"Canglong!"
"Draw the sword, flowers, birds, wind and moon!"
The half-moon-shaped sword light that slashed into the air quickly extended as it rose into the air, intersecting the huge ice blade created by Huang Taiyi back and forth, and two neat scars were carved into the chest of the Beast King in an X-shape.
"Ah......h
The King of the Beasts, who had slowly collapsed in the blood spurt, seemed to smile gratefully, even though the face was no longer human.
Maybe he looked so hideous.
Huang Taiyi showed no mercy to his subordinates, and the knife just now directly split most of the internal organs in the body of the King of Beasts, and it could be seen from the depths of the wound that the strength of Merlin's sword was also quite good, but the two reached a consensus without discussing it.
Try not to destroy the remains of the King of Beasts.
He could have slashed deeper, or even cut off his body, but neither Huang Taiyi nor Merlin did so.
It is the most basic respect for those who do not submit to their fate but have to go to a dead end.
The King of the Beasts is not an ally, or even an enemy, but that doesn't matter.
At the last minute, he chose to fight.
"King!"
The primitive macho men and the black panther stood in place for a long time, and I don't know who shouted, and a group of macho men dropped the spears in their hands and cried and threw themselves at the bodies in the pool of blood.
The scene of the macho man crying is very sad to watch.
Huang Taiyi didn't know how deep the friendship was between them, at least there was nothing false about these people's actions at this moment.
Merlin didn't want to disturb them, and the two stood silently aside.
"Time is running out."
The panther first stopped crying and stood up from the body.
He and the primitive macho men began to drag the remains of the King of Beasts into the cave, and the emperor tried to help but was refused.
These people did a very meticulous job and had a lot of strength, plus the hole had been relatively clean, and it didn't take long to get everything done.
When they came out of the cave, almost everyone had a lot of things in their hands, which should have been stored in advance, and after putting the materials aside, they began to seal the entrance to the cave, and they did the same very quickly.
"Do us a favor, it's all yours."
The black panther, as a representative of the primitive macho men, walked up to the emperor and pointed to the materials piled up into a hill.
"I'm sorry, I can't go to Xuewang."
Merlin forcibly refused without waiting for the Empress to speak.
It seems that there is really something going on, and it is not difficult to understand that a person like her, who is constantly cultivating to challenge herself, probably has already fought with Xuewang...... Of course, this is just Huang Taiyi's speculation.
"No, this matter should be the king's request, we are not qualified to ask, this time it is me...... No, my brothers and I share the request. β
The black panther turned around and confirmed the eyes of the primordial macho men, and after understanding that everyone was on the same page, he made his request very cautiously and seriously.
"You say."
Huang Taiyi now has a bad premonition, but he can't tell what is going on.
"Actually, we have all been infected by the mad beasts, and the king was the most seriously injured in order to save us, and it is thanks to you that he died while maintaining the will of the human race, and we ...... We don't know when we're going to be like that, so instead of turning into monsters and attacking our compatriots, we're going to die right now. β
The panther untied its leather armor, revealing a long, narrow wound that had changed color and was frighteningly bruised, but showed no signs of decay or infection, and was almost healed.
"This won't work! As long as you live, there is hope! How can you just give up! β
Merlin was so angry that he reached out to grab the panther by the collar, but his hand was blocked in the air by the emperor.
"Big brother, don't stop me!"
"Listen to me! And then I won't stop you! β
"Ah......h
Merlin retracted his hand stupidly, glaring at the emperor in a huff and without speaking.
It's the first time it's awkward, but it's also a sign of getting closer, probably.
"I'll find out the mad beast you said, it's already threatening my friend, but we're not going to ask for the help of the Scholar, so you're just here and waiting for our news, okay? Please don't say anything to die. β
"That's right, that's it! I thought so too! β
It hadn't been more than five seconds before and after, and Merlin's angry expression had disappeared.
"Really...... Well, there's got to be something you need in those supplies, and you two should take a good look at it. β
The panther seemed to be convinced, relieved, and sat down in place.
"Big brother, let's go take a look."
"Hmm...... Got it. β
Huang Taiyi also wanted to know what could be used, and there were many things that were lacking now, if there was a map......
Wrong!
After he took a few steps towards the place where the supplies were piled up, a strange murderous aura suddenly emerged from behind him, but the murderous aura did not point to himself, let alone Merlin.
"Don't!"
Merlin hurriedly turned around and tried to rush back to stop it, but it was too late.
"Uh......h That's it...... Untie...... Take off...... Back...... Ancestral ......"
The panther raised his spear and stabbed it into his chest, as did the other primitive hunks, blood staining everyone's bodies.
"Don't, ahhhhh
Merlin fell to her knees feebly, the painfully twisted faces of the panther and those primitive hunks swirling in her mind, becoming more and more hideous and terrifying.
"I'm sorry."
Huang Taiyi ignored Merlin with a hard heart, and pulled out his cane as fast as he could, instantly cutting off the lives of Black Panther and the others.
"Thank you......"
The last lip shape of the panther should be to say thank you.
"I ...... Finally ......"
Huang Taiyi's face stiffened as if it had been frozen, and it was too late for any words now, no, it was destined to be like this from the time they were bitten and scratched and infected.
"Why...?"
Merlin stood up in a trance, his head bowed, his lips shaking.
"I don't have any other choice."
"Why...... Eldest brother! Why swing a sword at someone who has no resistance! Why kill them! β
"Just treat me as a ruthless person, you're not wrong, they're not wrong, everything is mine...... Uh......"
The emperor thought about it for a moment and decided to take everything on herself.
However, instead of beating or scolding, it was a painful hug.
The beating of his heart seemed to merge with Merlin's crying, doubling the pain in his chest.
"I know it's not Big Brother's fault! But...... But I still feel bad...... Woo-ah-ah! They're dead! Just died in vain! I can't live anymore! β
Merlin's face sank deep into the Emperor's chest, and he cried loudly.
The emperor tried to touch Merlin's head, but found that even his own hands were shaking.
It was the weapon that this hand waved just now.
Now it's shaking to the point where it's hard to even grip it.
I see.
Are you even angry and sad about your actions?
"Mad beast, huh...... I can't let you continue to hurt people...... Absolutely not! β
The emperor clenched her teeth silently.
