Chapter Seventy-One: A Fierce Battle in the Woods
I remember the last time I talked to Asuna, she said that she was in a cave cliff with countless hanging coffins displayed in the honeycomb cave. I put these features on a satellite map and finally found a place called "Coffin Cliff", where Asukina should be trapped.
I raced forward at a fast pace as I looked at the navigation on my phone, completely oblivious to the danger coming from behind me.
"Whew......"
I heard a terrible howl from behind, and I closed my phone and pulled out my peachwood sword and stabbed at the monster that was following me.
The monster opened its foul mouth, revealing a row of barbed fangs, and with a slam swing of its right arm, it split the peachwood sword in two.
"It's a mandrill!"
Surprised, I threw away the remaining half of my mahogany sword and raised my right leg and kicked it into the mandrill's knee.
"Whew......"
The kneecap of the mandrill's right foot was kicked off by me, and it was half-kneeling on the ground struggling in pain, unable to move at all.
Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, I seized the opportunity to take out a German-style paratrooper knife from my backpack, grabbed its hairy head with my left hand, and lifted the paratrooper knife with my right hand and pulled it on the mandrill's neck, and actually cut off its head.
I wiped a handful of blood splashed on my face, and suddenly found that something was wrong, a gust of wind blew in my ears, and I looked at it, but I saw hundreds of mandrills emerging from the bushes in all directions, and suddenly heard a creepy scream on my head, the moment I raised my head, I saw countless red lanterns lit up on the branches of the big trees around me, and took a closer look through the yin and yang eyes, but I didn't expect it to be the legendary cat demon!
The cat demon is a kind of monster in folklore, according to legend, some dead wild cats have a long-lasting grievance, the corpse absorbs the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon in the forest for a long time, if there is a living person close to the cat corpse, the bioelectricity carried by the person will cause the mutation of the cat corpse, which is the origin of the cat demon.
Could it be because I broke into the forest and inadvertently awakened this group of dangerous monsters? How could I be able to deal with such a large number of mandrills and cat demons at the same time?
After recognizing the situation in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, remembering that Huang Jianjun said that the mourning village was the place to restrain me, and I felt extremely desperate in my heart, but when I thought of the safety of Tomorrow Nai, I gritted my teeth and said to myself: "For Tomorrow Nai, no matter how big the difficulties are, we must find a way to overcome them!" ”
I was relieved a little by holding the paratrooper knife tightly in my right hand, the flashlight being stuffed into the carry, and the quick removal of the pickaxe from my backpack with my left hand, and the weapon in both hands.
Because I opened the eyes of yin and yang, I wouldn't suffer too much even if I fought in a dark environment.
Hearing a series of low hiss from the mandrills, crouching on all fours and crawling towards me, I knew that I could not show mercy to these brutes, so I immediately swung my paratrooper knife and rushed forward to fight the mandrills.
The knife fell, and several sharp cold lights flashed, and several emaciated mandrills were immediately cut by me and lay on the ground, completely cutting off their breath.
Driven by a strong desire to survive, I was like an evil demon Shura from hell, and despite being covered in the blood of mandrills, I still waved the sharp blade in my hand and insisted on fighting.
Tragedy happened, just as I was about to cut down the fiftieth mandrill and prepare to go to the next city, the paratrooper knife was curled at such a critical juncture, and I couldn't help but scold: "Damn, what a bad luck! ”
I threw down the paratrooper knife and changed the pickaxe to my right hand, and suddenly there was a strong wind behind me, I noticed that the situation was wrong and hurriedly bent down subconsciously, the back was hot and painful, and it was full of blood when I touched it with my hand, I straightened up, and I saw a huge purple-black cat demon standing in front of me, and a line of white saliva flowed from the mouth full of fangs.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that I was plotted by an inconspicuous cat demon!"
Angry for a moment, I picked up the pickaxe and smashed it at the purple-black cat demon until its head was smashed into a pulp, I wiped the blood stains on my face with my hands, spit, and said murderously: "You monsters who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth have provoked the most unprovoked people!" ”
I stuck my pickaxe in the corpse of the cat demon and killed a few mandrills with my bare hands that tried to sneak up on me.
Out of fear of me, the mandrills and the cat demon did not rush forward, they kept a distance from me, whining and screaming as if they were planning when to launch a new attack.
Just as he was about to strike first, he used the "Ghost Rakshasa Collapse Fist" to put the mandrill cat demon in a pot, when Huang Jianjun's sonorous and powerful incantation suddenly sounded in his ears: "Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder God Puhua Tianzun, urgent as a law, edict!" ”
Dozens of bright lightning bolts streaked through the dark night sky, and the rolling thunder poured down into the small forest like cannonballs falling from the sky, and I urged the netherworld power in my body to form a protective barrier, so that it was not affected by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
With a massive explosion that shattered the sky, the lush forests were razed to the ground, mandrills and cat demons turned into piles of charcoal, and countless towering trees broke off on the ground, leaving a smoky scene as far as the eye could see.
"Xiao Fu, are you okay?" Huang Jianjun stepped on the corpse of the mandrill and walked cautiously towards me.
I saw that Huang Jianjun's clothes were stained with blood and his face was painted, and I thought that he should also have started a desperate battle with the monster.
Huang Jianjun walked up to me, put his hands behind his back, and said to me seriously: "Master left his apprentice and ran away alone, how can the old man mix up on the road after this kind of thing spreads?" ”
I complained silently in my heart: "The last time I fought in Mirror Lake, you sneaked away without saying hello to me, and I haven't asked you to settle this account yet!" ”
"Our mission on this trip was to destroy the zombies that escaped from the hanging coffins, and now that the zombies have been eliminated and the village has become a dead village, there is no point in staying here. Little mourning, let's go back as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning! ”
I shook my head and said to Huang Jianjun resolutely, "Master, I can't go back now!" ”
Huang Jianjun asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
"I'm going to save someone, someone who is very important to me!"
"Who's that guy?"
I was silent for a moment, and my eyes flickered and said, "My girlfriend Assuna Tokisaki!" ”
Huang Jianjun listened to it, and sighed helplessly: "It's evil, it's really evil!" Although I don't want to see you with her, everything is fate, and the number of days dictates it, and the old man will no longer stop him, so he can only fulfill your wish! ”
I lit a cigarette and calmly calmed down, and said to Huang Jianjun with a solemn expression: "I went to the coffin cliff to rescue tomorrow, the future is uncertain, and the danger is unpredictable!" I am a calamity star in the sky, and it is not surprising that I die at any time, but Master still has several years of life, and it is the right way to take care of my life and live for the rest of my life. Please forgive the apprentice for offending, Master will go back obediently this time, don't follow me, I, I don't want to kill Master in vain because of my willfulness! ”
Huang Jianjun patted me on the shoulder and said with relief: "I thought you were a cold-blooded person with a hard heart, hehe, it seems that you are blamed for the teacher's mistake!" ”
I scratched my hair, not knowing what to answer for a moment.
Huang Jianjun asked me for a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth, and said to me in a solemn tone: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and that person is still my apprentice's girlfriend." Xiao Fu, no matter what you say, I'm going to go with you this time! ”
I saw that the old man was resolute, and he couldn't hold ten cows, so I had to reluctantly agree: "Don't hold me back when the time comes." ”
Huang Jianjun snorted contemptuously: "Who is dragging his feet is not necessarily!" ”
