Chapter 58: Jack's Pumpkin
Looking at the blue fireballs that flew in, Eluka immediately pulled Kurona to the side to avoid it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info and Chrissy also rolled, leaning against the wall and hiding behind a nearby minecart, and at the same time, the blue fireballs flew by, bombarding the position where the three of them had been standing before. Only a few explosions were heard, and the flames, which seemed to be only the size of fists, erupted with a force almost comparable to that of incendiary bombs, and the shining flames roared straight up, spreading and raging along the ceiling of the mine.
Fortunately, as inhabitants of the wasteland, Eluka and the others have long been accustomed to observing their surroundings at all times, so that they can react when they encounter sudden danger. And now, although it was suddenly dark, they still remembered the situation around them. Therefore, the moment they were attacked, the three of them immediately instinctively found a hidden hideout, and only then did they avoid the danger of being burned by the flames.
However, unlike the three sisters, Fei Lun did not react, he just stood there motionless, until the blue flame came to him, and the scalpel in Fei Lun's hand shook violently and slashed forward. And with Faeron's movements, the flames in front of him automatically split into two as if they had been split by a sharp blade at this moment, and then gradually extinguished.
And at this time, the true face of the attacker was finally presented in front of them.
It looked like a Halloween doll, with a large pumpkin head and a pointed wizard hat on it. Underneath the pumpkin's head is a small, disproportionate cloak and white gloves that carry a lantern. But these outfits were meaningless, because they had no bodies at all, and neither in their cloaks nor in their gloves were empty, and not even a single hair could be found.
"Hahaha!"
Although the first surprise attack was dodged, the pumpkin dolls did not feel nervous at all, instead, they opened their mouths and let out that baby-like laugh again. Then the pumpkin dolls raised the lanterns in their hands and waved them forward. As they moved, fireballs emerged from the air, and then blasted towards the crowd again.
This time, Fei Lun finally had a move, and the moment those fireballs appeared, his body flashed suddenly, and he came to the pumpkin dolls in the blink of an eye like a ghost, only to see him raise his right hand, and the scalpel between his fingers quickly cut through the darkness with a strange and bright light trail under the light of the blue fireball, as if a sharp blade penetrated the body of the pumpkin doll in front of him, splitting it into two along with the fireball around it. The pumpkin doll, which was cut in the middle, only let out a scream, and then turned into a little dust with a "bang", and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Hahaha!! Hahaha!! ”
Seeing that his companion was killed, the other pumpkin dolls immediately dispersed, and at the same time, that weird laugh came out of their mouths again. It's just that their voices seem to be much sharper than before. It seems that this "laughter" is not a way for them to express their emotions, but just a means of making sounds.
And while Fei Lun was holding back these demons, the three sisters who were hidden around also quickly began to fight back. The first to bear the brunt was naturally Eluka, her [ferocious firepower] was simply a big killer in such a narrow terrain. I heard a shout of rage from Eluka, and the next moment a rain of bullets poured down from the other side of the cave like a flood, enveloping the pumpkin dolls in it.
However, this kind of firepower that is strong enough to destroy a platoon in an instant is useless in front of these monsters, I saw that those pumpkin dolls just raised their hands, and soon, a barrier of flames spread out in front of them, blocking the flying bullets, and then I saw these monsters scream, turned around and ran towards the depths of the mine. The speed of her movements was so fast that even Eluka was stunned, and it took less than ten seconds for her laser rifle to shoot before the strange creatures had disappeared into the depths of the dark tunnels.
"It's ............... What the? ”
Holding a laser rifle, Eluka was clearly uncomfortable with this kind of unfolding. Not only that, but even Chrissy and Kurona had puzzled expressions on their faces. It's no wonder that after they found themselves in an ambush before, they were all ready to fight each other, but they didn't expect these demons to be so useless, and they were all scared away after being killed by Fei Lun. This made the three sisters a little speechless, but Feren was calmer, he reached out, picked up his hat from the ground, patted the dust on it, and put it back on.
"Alright, let's move on."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the three sisters were stunned, and Eluka looked at the inside of the pitch-black passage in surprise, and then looked at Faerun, hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"Isn't it necessary to prepare? Commander? It's strange that those demons just ran away........."
"It doesn't matter if you're ready or not, and there's nothing strange about it, because it's the nature of demons."
"Nature?"
"That's right."
As he spoke, Faeron continued to walk forward, and the three sisters hurried to follow. Chrissy silently took out a light stick from her bosom, lit it and held it high. Soon, a dazzling white light emerged from it, dispelling the darkness around it. Kurona and Eluka looked at Feren earnestly. To live in the wasteland, knowledge is essential. In particular, the knowledge of these strange things may seem useless now, but maybe it will save your life at some point. And Faeron obviously knew their thoughts very well, so he also smiled and gave an answer.
"When you deal with demons, you must completely get rid of the common sense about human beings in your mind, and don't use human common sense to trick these guys. You have to remember that they come from a world completely different from the one we live in, and you should not expect them to treat you with human ideas. It's like ............... just now."
As he spoke, Faeron gestured to the distance beside them.
"It may seem like a surprise attack to you, but in fact, it's likely that the other side is just playing a joke on us, as children like to do."
"Jokes?"
Hearing Feren's answer, Eluka and the others glanced at the charred black not far from them with strange expressions - it was the hole that had been blasted out by the pumpkin dolls before. The burning flames and the burst of air not only blew a large hole, but also burned the nearby minecart to ashes, along with the mining tools. It is conceivable what the consequences would be if it hit people all at once.
(So that the demon has no concept of life and death)
And at this time, Delin's voice came to the minds of the three sisters.
(In the world we live in, death does not exist at all, so for the demons, they do not understand what death represents, or what it means.)
"But......... Didn't the Commander just kill one of them and scare them away? ”
Hearing this, Kurona asked questions timidly. But in the face of her question, the black cat lying on Feren's shoulder stretched out its front paws and scratched its face, and then flicked its tail.
(For demons, it's not death, as long as there is enough cyber energy, they will be reborn again.) So most of the demons don't understand the concept of death at all. In our opinion, it is just a form of energy conversion that is inefficient. As for the demons being scared away just now, it has nothing to do with their companions being destroyed by their masters, it's just that they were scared instead of being scared)
"Uh........."
Hearing Delin's calm explanation, the three sisters didn't know what to say. They were fighting each other with the intention of dying, but in the eyes of the other party, this was just a game and a farce?
"Then why don't you let Miss Delin deal directly with them?"
"It's useless."
In response to Eluka's inquiry, Fallon waved his hand again.
"A lot of demons are social but basically liberals, that is, they only care about themselves, and they basically don't care about anything else. Even if I asked Delin to communicate with them, it wouldn't be of much use, and maybe they would turn around and throw it behind them after getting Delin's message, and continue to find a fun game to pass the time. ”
"So......... What should we do? ”
Hearing this, Eluka couldn't help but have a headache, she used to only know that demons were weird and difficult to get along with, but she didn't expect them to be so tricky. In this way, what can they do with these demons?
"Actually, the solution is very simple and very useful."
And at this moment, Pheron's voice sounded again. Hearing this, Eluka hurriedly raised her head and looked at Faeron.
"What's the solution? Commander? ”
"It's simple."
In response to Eluka's inquiry, Fallon smiled and held up a finger to his mouth.
"Four words -- hit him to serve."
