Chapter 40: Death Match
Walker, Fleming, Horner, Owen and the four of them were crammed into the small space on the top of the stone pillar, and the ghouls at the bottom gathered more and more, and in just one hour, they actually gathered hundreds of heads, and a group of ghouls on the beach surrounded the stone pillar, looking greedily at the four living people on the top of the stone pillar, and the four of them did not dare to act rashly, and they did not even dare to take a big breath, because their foothold was too small, for fear that the slightest mistake would fall off the stone pillar and become the ghoul's dinner, although as long as the sun rose, the ghouls would disperse automatically, but the waiting time was extremely long and painful
Time is equal for anyone, but for the four people standing on the top of the stone pillar at this time, it seems to have been delayed by more than ten times, Owen's spirit is too tight, his legs are numb, and when the sea breeze blows, he loses his center of gravity and stumbles down
A strong arm grabbed Owen
Hold on, and Owen saw sincere concern in Walker's only remaining single eye
In order to prevent anyone from falling again, the four people held each other's arms, their backs against their backs, and pressed tightly against each other...... I don't know how long it took, and the long wait finally came to fruition, the sun slowly rose in the east, and there were fewer and fewer ghouls on the beach, and when the poisonous sun poured completely on the sand, the last ghoul fled back into the woods and was never seen again
The biggest crisis seemed to be over, and the four of them, who had stood on the top of the pillar all night, were relieved, but they let their guard down and did not notice a new crisis: a cloud of black gas was looming over the sea......
When Owen woke up, he found himself locked in a large square iron cage with three other people, the iron cage was suspended by several thick iron cables about 2 meters above the ground, and the other end of the high iron rope was connected to several large iron pillars standing on the ground, which seemed to be in an underground cave, surrounded by pitch black, and about two meters away from the four directions of the large iron cage, there was a fire disc at a distance, and the beating fire was particularly strange
Owen suddenly noticed that his left foot was chained, and not only him, but also the other three - the other ends of the chains on the four feet were all joined together
What's going on, Walker, where are we, Owen lifted the chain that locked his left foot, and a feeling of overwhelm took over his body
I don't know that Walker said that we were in this place after waking up from a black gas attack on the beach
It must have been the necromancer's ghost again, Horner grabbed his hair and said angrily, "We've been fooled."
That shitty necromancer has the ability, you come out for me, my Uncle Fleming is going to smash you into meat sauce, and the tall strong man punched the wall of the iron cage, and the entire iron cage was shaking
Sure enough, it was the one who could escape from Ghoul Island, and an eerie voice came from Owen's right
The four of them looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and faintly saw a man in a black cloak standing about 10 meters away from the cage, standing on the back of the fire, unable to make out his appearance - but his voice did not sound like the necromancer who had captured them in the first place
Damn necromancer, bullshit, let us out, Feeming grabbed the bar, pointed at the necromancer, and yelled
The necromancer was not angry at Flemming's insults, in his opinion, these four people were just prey in a cage, there was no need for him to be angry about the roar of the prey, and the necromancer said unhurriedly: After successfully passing the ghoul test, you will go through another test
Stop playing tricks, the villain Walker also pointed at the necromancer and scolded angrily
The necromancer snapped his fingers, and the top of the large iron cage automatically opened, only to see that directly above his head, there were more than a dozen knives, swords, guns, axes and other weapons commonly used by the Olopa people, hanging by ropes and slowly descending
What was he going to do, Owen, who didn't know what he meant, couldn't help but ask
Isn't it obvious kid, Horner, this black guy wants us to have a death match
You guessed it, the necromancer said in an emotionless voice, listen, only one of you will survive, choose your best weapon, kill the rest of you, and the rest of you will leave alive
This is for us to kill each other, Owen exclaimed
Hmph, we have just experienced tribulation, and we will not attack our companions who share life and death, you don't want to think about it, Walker flatly refused
If you want to kill someone, Feleming takes a longsword from the rope to kill you, and Feleming throws the sword at the necromancer
The sword flew halfway through and seemed to crash into an invisible wall, bouncing off and falling to the ground, rippling in the air
Magic Shield, Horner, exclaimed, this guy had expected someone to do this
I advise you not to make useless resistance, except that there is no other choice for you, and the necromancer turns around and leaves in the opposite direction of the big iron cage, and there is one more thing to tell you: I have planted a kind of aggressive worm in you, and when you do nothing, the worm will keep gnawing at your body, causing untold suffering, and unless the host fights to the pleasure of the worms, they will stop and remember, the fiercer the battle of the host, the quieter the worms will become...... After saying this, the necromancer had completely disappeared from everyone's sight
Despicable fellow, Owen shouted in the direction where the necromancer had disappeared, come back to me
Suddenly, Owen felt a piercing cramping pain in his stomach, and Owen sat down holding his stomach in pain, while the other three also felt a sharp pain in their stomachs, and the moaning sound in the big iron cage continued
I can't stand it - Bounty hunter Horner struggles to his feet and removes a spear from a weapon hanging overhead
Horner, do you want to ...... Walker Road
I—Do we have any other choice, Horner picked up his spear and staggered towards Owen
No, Walker took off a saber and pulled away the spear that stabbed Owen, are you crazy, we are companions, Walker said angrily
Partner, do you think we still have the qualifications to talk about this, I just want to live now
That doesn't go to Owen either, he's still a kid
Whoever called him the weakest and better killed, I saved him twice in the ghoul's mouth, and he should pay it back
If you want to kill Owen, you need to pass me first
The two rushed at each other with a burst of shouts, and their spears and sabers collided dozens of times, sparks flew everywhere, and the partners who had been fighting side by side and supporting each other a day ago were now fighting for their lives
Don't hit...... Watching the two of them intensify their roommates, Owen tried in vain to persuade him, so that he didn't even notice it when another enemy rushed towards him......
Feleming pinched Owen's neck: I'm sorry kid, I can't stand the bites of bugs...... Although Feeming showed a very reluctant look, the ruthlessness in his hand did not relax at all, under Feeming's huge tongs like banana leaves, Owen couldn't breathe, he only felt that the Venus in his eyes was falling and white......
Just as Owen was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt the force imposed on his neck disappear at once...... Cough...... Owen lay down and gasped for breath - it turned out that Walker and Horner had just kicked each other, and they were pulling the chain of their left foot at the same time, and Flemming was dragged backwards by the force of the two, and Owen was lucky to survive
However, before Owen could breathe, he felt his left foot lifted upside down, bang-the sound of a violent collision with the cold steel, Fleming grabbed the chain, Owen was thrown to the bottom of the large iron cage, and his head was bleeding, before Owen could stand up, Feleming threw the chain again, Owen was smashed down on the other side, and when Owen was thrown up for the third time, several ribs broke in his chest
Finding Owen in distress, Walker slashed at Horner, turned and rushed at Feleming, who dodged the blow with a rollover
No one is allowed to hurt my brother, Walker, in front of Owen, who has completely regarded Owen as his own brother
Can you still hold on, Walker turned around and asked Owen
Okay, Owen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and endured the sharp pain in his head and chest, he untied a long sword from the rope and stood side by side with Walker
Hey, hunky Horner shouted to Feleming, let's join forces
What Fleming didn't react for a moment
Those two guys have already joined forces, and Horner pointed at Walker and Irving, if they don't join forces, we will be broken by each other
Feleming thought for a while and nodded: Okay, I'll join forces with you
Go get your weapons and I'll help you hold off Horner and guard Feleming's side
Good Flemming immediately ran under a tomahawk and untied the lethal weapon from the rope
When the tomahawk was in Flemming's hands, it meant that all four people who were forced to participate in the death match had all been given weapons, and the rest of the weapons were roped up, and the top of the large iron cage was also covered
Confident as we got the Tomahawk, Fleming swung his weapon at Walker and Owen - but the next second he found himself at the end of his life
A spear pierced his right kidney from behind, halfway through his body, and out of his left lower abdomen
You...... Feleming stared at Horner with an angry smirk before he fell.
