Chapter 168: To Die
There is no doubt that several people are ready to die.
Indeed, if they continue to escape, they will be able to escape for a while. It may be three days, it may be five days, depending on it. If you're lucky, you might be able to escape to Bansar or Suze and live.
But they're really tired of it.
With great difficulty, they memorized each other's names, knew what they liked to eat, their habits when talking, and what their personal hobbies were...... But in the blink of an eye, they fell forever and could never get up again.
Again and again, again and again.
There are fewer and fewer people who are dead because there are fewer people alive. From three digits to two digits and then to single digits, by now, the army of monsters was already pressed behind them, and if nothing else, none of the seven of them would see the sun tomorrow.
Monsters don't rely on sight and sound to hunt down enemies - they've known this in previous battles. Any means of hiding are ineffective, as long as you get close enough to them, as long as you see them, you can't escape until you kill them all.
So, don't run away.
Hit head-on. Ambush and pounce, you should be able to take a few more people before being killed and eaten, and seven people add up to dozens or even dozens of people.
What's more...... That way, at least they can die together.
"Always run, run, run, run, run, annoyance!"
Carrying a sword burning with a faint transparent flame, Gallo walked at the front of the procession, babbling in fragments: "Either kill me or kill me - let me out of misery!" ”
While babbling something. His bloodshot eyes suddenly turned his head in one direction. A bloody smile of a predator appeared: "Oh yes...... Got it. ”
The next moment, he jerked down his body. Rushed in that direction. Gallo slashed his sword parallel to the ground, an ugly and twisted head flew out of thin air, and a black, emaciated body slowly emerged in the air. A large amount of purple sweet blood suddenly rushed out from the place where it was broken.
"Another scum. It's already the third along the way, right? ”
A middle-aged man with gloomy eyes sneered disdainfully: "Are they the chain of command collapsed?" Why do you keep sending people to death? If you're in your right mind, you should know we have a way to deal with the scout's stealth-"
"No, wait......"
However, hearing his words, Gallo's heart moved.
A vague possibility slowly emerged.
He hurriedly jumped up to the top and looked into the distance.
Gallo squinted, using the faint moonlight to confirm the monsters' location.
But at this time. Gallo's pupils shrank suddenly—
He saw that the monsters were in complete frenzy.
They groaned and struggled in pain. In the midst of intense suffering, some powerful monsters casually killed those weak monsters, but they could not alleviate their suffering.
Judging by the extent of the destruction of the surrounding facilities, I am afraid that their suffering has been happening for more than half an hour.
No doubt. Those scattered monsters, I'm afraid, were not sent out to investigate the situation, but escaped to avoid being implicated.
…… But, what's wrong with them?
Is it a disease? Or is it a curse? Or is it the effect of some magic or sorcery? Is this permanent or temporary? Is it contagious?
Moment. Countless questions welled up in Gallo's mind.
First of all, those powerful monsters have not lost their combat effectiveness. Just by seeing them hurt and beating up other monsters like crazy. In this case, it is wisest to stand quietly from a distance and watch, wait for them to lose their combat effectiveness before entering the harvest.
But Gallo didn't know that the effect would torture them to death. Or will it just last for a while and then it will end.
If it was the former, now they are waiting here, and doing nothing is the wisest choice; And if it's the latter. Now when the monsters from the underground are in chaos, it's their last chance.
What exactly is waiting? Or hit?
Gallo hesitated for a moment. The decision was made immediately.
"Do you still need to think about it......"
Since they chose to attack, they never thought that they would be able to get out alive from here.
At times like these. If Gallo thinks about how to protect himself, he is undoubtedly cowering, and it is his cowardly betrayal of the common will of all.
So, let's think about it from a different perspective.
If this curse is permanent, then even if Gallo and the others die here, these monsters will be buried with them; If this curse would heal after a while, then now was the only chance for Gallo and them to slaughter these monsters on a large scale.
If life and death were put aside from the beginning, no one would be able to stop them.
"If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will leave? What do you think of us? ”
A pale frenzy flashed in Gallo's eyes, and the corners of his mouth split in a large arc. The blood-stained teeth are reminiscent of beasts that choose to devour people.
He made up his mind and jerked his hand down from a great height. The metal armor blessed by the gods collided with the ground with a loud noise, and even the earth shook.
"Guys, listen to me. Those monsters aren't in good shape right now," Gallo's bloodshot eyes were bloodthirsty with an almost insane bloodlust, "we're afraid we can make big news...... But we'll have to sneak in cautiously now. ”
Suddenly, the eyes of several other people suddenly lit up.
None of them are fools.
At the same time that Gallo said this, they realized what might be happening ahead. But after a short period of hesitation, no one did not choose that relatively safe path.
It is only at this time that they truly realize that they have no idea of living for a long time.
They simply don't believe they can win.
I haven't seen anyone else in half a month. The country is probably gone......
If they were the only ones, they might have survived in a mess without a reference. But now that their companions are dying one by one, and now that the gods have chosen to remain silent, their hearts that have nothing to rely on are beginning to crumble. Madness began to slowly invade their minds.
It's better to say...... Is it a kind of happiness to be able to choose your own way of death?
"So, let's die together."
Sharna slowly rubbed the blood that had appeared on her forearm and would always float on her arm no matter how she was treated, and her eyes, which were bloodshot from staying up all night, were full of the realization of death.
"Well said, Sharna! Let our spirits go higher and salute the blood of our mortal enemies—"
Gallo laughed, slashed down the hill with his sword in hand, and pounced like a bloodthirsty hyena.
Immediately behind Gallo, the seven survivors made a final charge down the mountain. (To be continued.) )
