Chapter 268 - Why are you two again
Drawing his weapons and waiting for the two ghouls to move, Arrow nodded to his members.
After the battle just now, everyone also understood that their strength had improved a lot. At that moment, everyone's faces also showed a slight smile, and it seemed that their confidence was stronger.
"But be careful, it's best not to deal with more than two ghouls at once. We don't even know how many of these monsters are still hiding here, and unlike in the past, we can't afford to get hurt in the slightest. ”
The members, who had just been a little happy, nodded their heads when they heard Arrow's reminder, regrouped, and walked towards the passage ahead.
Circling around the underpass, at some point, some faint rumbling sounds began to be heard in front of me.
Arrow nodded slightly, after all, not long ago, it should be the location of the waterfall.
"Be vigilant, we don't know what's in the depths."
Arrow gave a gentle admonition, and everyone nodded.
The torches continued to shine in their hands, and the light that emitted continued to shine on this small area that was not too wide.
With the mutilated map in his hand, the mermaid's song slowly approached the front, little by little, little by little......
"Squeak—"
Suddenly! The unique voice of the corpse eater reached the ears of Arrow and the others again!
The Mermaid Song hurriedly stopped and listened carefully to the source of this sound!
"Squeak ——!"
The sound wasn't far away, but it didn't sound like it meant to be approaching this way.
Arrow turned his head and glanced at the pitch-black passage beside him. On the map, the end of the passage is marked as a "dead end", but it is clear that the voice of the corpse eater is coming from there.
"Squeak——!
The voice of the corpse eater came again, and it didn't sound like the corpse eater who had just screamed. In other words, there should be more than a plurality of ghouls there.
However, as just now, these voices did not mean to approach Arrow and the others, as if some corpse eaters were gathering there and were busy with something.
"President, what do you think of our ......?"
Cream asked softly, asking for Arrow's opinion.
Arrow lowered his head again and glanced at the map in his hand, thought for a moment before saying, "Although our goal is to destroy the Corpse Eater King, maybe there are still some survivors here. If that's the case, then we can save some people and try to save some people. ”
Hearing Arrow's command, Brad immediately turned around and walked to the front of the passage, waiting for him.
But Coco next to him looked a little nervous and said, "Brother President...... Wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to casually enter an unknown area like this? If we deviate from the map...... Maybe you won't be able to come back later......"
Of course, Arrow was aware of the risks, but if he was to follow the map given by the Earl, then it meant that all his actions were acting according to the Earl's will. Then it stands to reason that he will definitely end up in a failure.
In that case, it is better to disobey the Earl's will a little, and perhaps there will be new discoveries along other paths.
"Don't worry, Coco, if we sense any danger, we'll turn back immediately. Cream, take care to leave marks along the way. Brad, brace your spirits, and if you really can't do it, let you and Parfay's new magic be activated. ”
The crowd listened to the order and began to walk slowly in the direction where the voice of the corpse eater had come from.
Less than five minutes after walking, the sound of the waterfall gradually became softer, and finally disappeared. But instead, the roar of the corpse eater became clearer.
In addition to the roars of the corpses, some human shouts and curses can be faintly heard!
It is clear that someone has been attacked in front!
"Damn it! You goddamn monsters! You guys! Hurry up and pull him to the back! Save! Hurry up and save people! ”
Suddenly, a voice came from the front! After hearing this shout, the people of the Mermaid Song were slightly stunned, but in the next second, they immediately quickened their pace and ran in the direction where the sound came from.
Turning a corner, a light immediately appeared in front of me! In the light of about five or six torches, about seven or eight civilian-looking people gathered together in a corner, shivering and terrified. And in front of this group of people, there are two warriors wielding long swords who are struggling to deal with the four-headed corpse eater! Perhaps because they wanted to avoid any scrapes or scratches as much as possible, they were very cautious in their movements, far more defensive than offensive, and gradually pressed into the corner by the four ghouls.
"Do it! Save! ”
With Arrow's order, the mermaid song's combat power immediately rushed towards the four corpse eaters!
Because of the sudden attack and the speed of the crowd, the two corpse eaters behind the sect were directly suppressed without even waiting to turn around, and their hearts were pierced by sharp blades. The remaining two ghouls noticed the change behind them, and in a panic, they turned their heads and turned their backs to the two warriors. Seeing such a good opportunity, the two warriors understood and immediately raised their long swords and steadily stabbed into the hearts of these two corpse eaters.
"Squeak ————!"
As these monsters screamed and fell, Arrow finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at the two warriors with weapons, and said, "It doesn't look like there is much regression in skill?" Whiskey, polyester. ”
The two warriors drew their swords and exhaled when they saw Arrow again. It's just that they didn't have time to come and greet Arrow, but hurriedly rushed to the group of people and shouted, "How is it? How's it going? ”
Seeing this scene, Airo also hurriedly followed.
I saw a woman in her thirties surrounded by the crowd, her chest was stained with blood, as if she had been seriously injured.
Seeing this scene, Arrow lowered his head and glanced at the potion in his prop bag, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally took out a bottle of healing aerosol and handed it to the whiskey in front: "Use this to see if you can heal her injuries?" ”
Whiskey glanced at Arrow, nodded slightly, and took the bottle. A man who looked to be in his thirties on the side shouted in a panic after seeing this medicine bottle: "Thank you!" Thank you for saving my wife! Please save her! Thank you! ”
The bottle shattered, and the blood-red mist in it immediately burrowed into the woman's body. Soon, her bleeding wound stopped bleeding, and the expression on her face seemed to settle down.
Seeing this, Whiskey breathed a sigh of relief and said, "President Arrow, I really appreciate your potion. If not, I don't really know what to do. ”
But polyester was not so easy, he patted his partner hard: "It's not over yet!" Have you forgotten what happens to those who are injured? Be careful, everyone! Don't let your guard down! ”
Hearing Polyester say this, a reluctant expression appeared on Whiskey's face. But Arrow obviously knew the problem, and hurriedly waved his hand, and Brad behind him quickly came over and pulled away the whiskey, and those who had just gathered together also dispersed at this time, carefully watching the woman's injuries.
The injured woman's face was calm, but it still didn't look easy. Sweat began to roll down her forehead, and her lips turned pale from the color of blood just now.
Seeing this, her husband hurriedly pounced on his wife and shouted, "No! No, it won't! It won't be like this! Captain Whiskey! Polyester Vice Captain! You promised us to protect us, didn't you? So my wife will be fine, right? Right?! ”
The injured woman's face began to gradually distort, and suddenly! Her eyes opened! The focus in her pupils began to slowly get out of control, and the whites of her eyes were covered with bloodshots, making her look very terrifying! Moreover, some sounds that don't seem to be human are "gurgling" from her rumbling!
"No ——!!!"
Seeing that his wife had gradually begun to mutate, the husband couldn't help but cry loudly after all.
Whiskey was a little unbearable, turned his head to look at Arrow, shook his head, and said, "Polyester, please...... You've got it. ”
Polyester also sighed, raised the long sword in his hand and walked towards the woman, and said at the same time: "You also know that we have no choice but to do so. Anyone who has been hurt in the slightest will end up like this...... So, let me help her rest......"
"Nope! Don't come here! I warn you not to come over! ”
The husband suddenly became furious! He put his arms around his wife, stretched out his fist and swung at Polyester as if he was about to threaten, and said loudly-
"My wife is still saved! She must still be saved! This is...... It's some kind of dark magic, right? It must be some kind of dark magic! Then as long as there is a priest of the Holy See of Light! As long as there is a high priest of this level of light magic! My wife will be saved, right?! You said that the Holy See of Light will not leave this city alone! As long as we wait until the Holy See comes...... As long as we wait until then?! ”
For this emotion, Eero expressed understanding.
At the same time, he also understands the emotions of both whisky and polyester. Especially when Polyester revealed that he wanted to forcibly separate the husband and kill the wife directly, this sentiment Arrow expressed his approval.
However, endorsement does not mean that it will actually be implemented. Seeing that the sword in Polyester's hand had been raised, Arrow hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! If light magic can be useful, there's really no need to do it right now. ”
