Chapter 35: Fight or Leave

What caught Eko's eyes was the image of six skeletons of bones rushing towards him, tall and short, these things still ran with the sound of Krakala, and the joints of the bones were rubbing and wearing out as if they were overwhelmed, but this did not slow them down.

Eko didn't feel anything if six living people were rushing towards him, he had tried to deal with a dozen street hooligans by himself, and he could easily send those scoundrels away with his bare hands. But the six undead were experiences he had never experienced before. These things don't feel pain or fear like hooligans.

Eko, who was at the forefront of the line of defense with the Shortaxe, felt frightened as the skeletons rushed towards him with their weapons held high. Fear made him clench his shield and sword, and the tension made him tense.

At the front was a humanoid skeleton, and when it came to Eko a few paces away, it flew straight towards this side, and the broken sword in its hand slashed towards the short axe.

The hatchet roared and took a step forward, the twin axes slashing out in a semi-circle from the bottom up, and the axe smashed into the ribs of the skeleton before its broken sword landed on its head. The skeleton's ribs were shattered, and its entire body was thrown into the reservoir by a short axe. The skeleton that fell into the water made a splash and then stopped moving. The twin axes smashed into a skeleton of bones, and the short axe did not stop, and the arms holding the axe were raised high, and slashed downward, slashing the other skeleton that rushed in front of him to the ground. It was a skeleton with a dagger, rusty, but it seemed to be able to easily stab into flesh. The axe slashed and smashed the upper part of the skeleton's body to pieces, and although its legs were still struggling to move, it could no longer stand up, and could only crawl around like a worm.

The fang-like skeleton ran towards Eko, who held his sword in his backhand, grabbed the shield grip with both hands, and slammed into the small skeleton that was rushing towards him. The little fanged skeleton was knocked straight into the air, and the spear in its hand flew out, and when it fell to the ground, the bones in its right hand rolled halfway - at least it couldn't poke Eko with a spear. After the little fanged skeleton was knocked away, another skeleton immediately rushed in front of Ekor, who did not intend to use his sword to block the weapon that was slashing at him with his shield, and then use the edge of the shield to hit the skeleton. His shield was covered with a layer of iron, the edges thickened for beauty, and a solid piece of iron embedded in the middle of the shield. Compared to the lightweight leather shield, the bulky shield, which was not suitable for carrying around, became Ecoo's most useful weapon. The shield in his hand was more effective than slashing his sword into a hard bone and cutting it through a gap.

Shortaxe and Eko are a wall that holds back the attacks of these skeletons. Chris waited behind them, his sledgehammer not being able to deliver a fatal blow, but he always found an opportunity to strike the skeletons that had been knocked to the ground a few more times, shattering their skulls, breaking their joints, and kicking the bones of their hands and feet into the water.

In the back, Marina continued to use her magic, freezing the skeletons that tried to get up in place. The battle was just a blink of an eye, and it was over. The ground was littered with fine pieces of bones, and not a single skeleton remained in its original shape. Most of their bones were shattered or knocked away, either falling into the reservoir or shattering into pieces and leaving them on the ground, none of them remaining intact shape.

The battle ended quickly, and the menacing skeletons were quickly wiped out, which was considered a thrill. There were several blood marks on the hatchet, which were the marks of broken swords, daggers, and spears. Chris and Eko had some precautions on their bodies, only he was naked, and it was not surprising that he would be cut in such a chaotic battle. He took a few deep breaths, and the blood on his body didn't continue to bleed, it looked like it was just a few more patterns. His muscles were visibly shaking, dark skin might be a little hard to see, but his skin was red and hot, and it only returned to normal as his muscles stopped shaking.

Lulunaka, who had been hiding behind Marina, looked at the hatchet with interest. From the words and deeds of the short axe, it can be seen that he is a veteran warrior, but that's all. The strength and experience he has are obtained by long-term training, there are not too many shortcuts and luck, depending on his age, this also means that he actually has no talent, so he has been stuck in the black iron class - if you want to talk about talent, he should not be as young as Ikeou, at least the young Ikeo has also reached the level of black iron.

Eko lowered his shield and was panting. It's not easy to deal with these skeletons, they don't fear, they don't flinch, as long as their bodies are intact, then they will definitely get back on their feet. "It's all settled, right?" he asked.

Chris responded to him, "Not yet. ”

Chris looked across the reservoir. There were also several skeletons crawling up the waterway over there, looking around. There was a reservoir across the passage from here, but it was only a matter of time before Lulunaka and the others were discovered.

"As I said, I can only take you here, and now there is only a way back, and there is no way forward. "I need someone familiar and reliable to keep going, and it's a shame it's not you." ”

Marina looked at the skeletons that were already moving, and the skeletons of bones began to walk around the passage, and sooner or later they would run into them who were alive. "Is there really no way to go down?" she was a little unwilling, for her, this feeling was like she was about to reach the end, but the distance of the last step could not be reached, so she could only watch dryly.

"There's another way to go deeper. "The hatchet pointed in one direction, and there was an exit at the edge of the passage closer to the water, far away from them, and a drainage ditch to which it was not known. "If it's just two or three batches of skeletons, I can handle it, but before we get to that exit, the skeletons will keep climbing up and blocking us. At that time, it was not just a matter of a dozen skeletons, but there would be more strange skeletons climbing up. With that, Shortaxe said to Marina, "That's the end of sightseeing, it's time for you to go home." ”
