Chapter 8: Grimm (2)

The clearing in the forest is full of green grass and flowers, and the melodious sounds of birds seem to gather here, and the bright sunlight shines down directly, illuminating the open space like a stage.

In the center of the "stage" there were seven terrible-looking gnomes holding a broken wooden plank, on which lay a young woman, so beautiful that even the sunlight dimmed a little.

Her lips were as red as blood, her eyes were closed, her skin was pale as paper, almost transparent, and if she were alive, her complexion would have been pink and lovely, but unfortunately she was dead, and the sides of her neck, the backs of her hands, her ankles, her forehead, her temples, and her eyelids were covered with dark veins.

The seven gnomes looked at Grimm, each looking more and more terrifying, with a fierce gaze and a thick face, and each dwarf carried a weapon, with an axe, a hammer, a chisel, a shovel, a hoe, etc.

"Can she really come back to life like this? Although it was contemporary, "Frankenstein" had not yet been written at that time, right? Even if it was written, it probably didn't make it to Germany. Zhou Yu looked at the corpse and thought.

(For details, see the "Mother of Science Fiction" dream that will appear someday in the future.)

Green raised his dagger and pointed at the gnome and asked sharply, "Where are you going to carry the corpse?" ”

Zhou Yu frowned, and thought again: "They are just carrying the corpse, maybe they want to find a better place to bury it, and it is obvious that you are thinking too much about raising this kind of question." ”

The gnomes were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and laughed together.

The laughter was first very loud, then it became low, stuffed in the throat, and then sharpened, high and low, slow and urgent, Zhou Yu was creepy when he heard it, and the laughter slowly unified into a disdainful sneer, and their expressions became hideous.

One of the gnomes looked at Green with a cold gaze and asked, "Of course she was carried home, do you still have to carry her to bury her?" ”

"Stupid, you just said that you can't carry it and bury it, this look and tone make it clear that you want to do bad things to the corpse." Zhou Yu sighed secretly, and felt a little relieved, looking at Green's temper and the attitude of the gnomes, this battle seemed to be inevitable, if the combat power of the seven gnomes was proportional to their IQ, then there would be no big problem.

Green replied to the dwarf's promise, causing Zhou Yu to almost jump to his feet - he threw the short sword in his hand at the dwarf with all his might.

The short sword spun and flew over, startling the gnomes, but the accuracy of the sword throwing was so poor that the blade "clicked" into the plank, and if the force was a little greater, it might have removed the hands and arms of the corpse.

"Why don't you give it to me?" Zhou Yu looked at the short sword blankly, and almost lost his mind and dropped the short bow to the ground.

As soon as the dwarfs put down the planks, they took out their weapons one after another, and quickly leaned over to this side, shouting as they ran, "Chop them!" Make them into croquettes! ”

"Croquettes? It turns out that the corpse is used for food, and it seems that I have thought too much. Zhou Yu moved his neck, ready for battle, his eyes glanced at the short sword from time to time, and decided to find an opportunity to run over to pick it up.

But at this moment, Green beside him suddenly said, "Hunter, you kill them all." ”

After speaking, he looked down at the "Book of Heaven" in his hand that he didn't know when it appeared, and looked at it very seriously and carefully.

"Just now!" Zhou Yu hurried over and grabbed the axe that was slashing at Green.

If Green had spoken earlier, he would have been mentally prepared even if he didn't have time to arrange, and he said that he was almost dead when he came to the front, and the sword was thrown by Green, and the dwarf took him as the main target, and he jumped up and cut it.

Green, on the other hand, kept his head down, oblivious to the axe blade.

Zhou Yu held the two ends of the short bow and used the bow body to stand on the handle of the axe, don't look at these dwarfs are short in stature and short in weapon, but the strength is amazing, this axe shocked his arms numb, and he almost failed to hold it.

The axe blade was hooked on the short bow, and the dwarf's feet kicked on Zhou Yu's chest, and at the same time, the second dwarf attacked, took a hoe, twisted his waist and waved the hoe like playing baseball, and dug into Zhou Yu's waist.

The kick in the chest hurt a lot, but Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and his smile was a little pleasant.

Laugh because the opportunity to vent has finally come, can't you deal with the transcendent nightmares, can't you deal with these gnomes?

The dwarf hanging on the axe thought that smile was very good-looking, but he was frightened by Zhou Yu's eyes, and even forgot about the next attack.

“Fus-Ro-Dah!” Zhou Yu roared, let go of the bow handle with his left hand, grabbed the dwarf's foot and pulled it down hard, and lifted the short bow up with his right hand, pulling the dwarf away from the axe and placing it on his waist, while raising his right foot backwards.

The expression of the dwarf wielding the hoe changed from fierce to sluggish in an instant, and it was too late to stop it, watching the hoe dig towards his companion.

"Poof!"

The hoe dug into the head of the first gnome.

"Phew!"

Zhou Yu's raised foot also kicked out with all his might, kicking the second dwarf in the face.

The gnome flew out like a cannonball, its body spinning, blood spurting wildly from its mouth, it bounced back against a large tree, and lay motionless on the ground.

Throwing out the dwarf with a hoe embedded in his head, Zhou Yu easily removed the logging axe hanging from the short bow.

For the dwarf it was a long-handled axe, for him it was a one-handed axe, this weapon was much better than the shortbow in terms of weight and practicality, and when he took the real weapon, he was in high spirits, and with a loud laugh, he threw the shortbow at the back dwarf, and the axe turned in his hand and slashed downward.

The third dwarf flew over and slashed at Zhou Yu's instep with the chisel in his hand, and the axe slashed at his back, shattering his vertebrae and denting his entire back.

In less than ten seconds, three of the seven gnomes died.

The reason why they rushed up desperately to melee with the relatively tall Zhou Yu had nothing to do with their IQ, purely because of the short bow in Zhou Yu's hand and the quiver on his waist.

The short bow has a short range and high accuracy, and it will not hang on the branches in the woods, which is convenient for action, and is one of the usual weapons of hunters.

Who would have thought that this hunter was an impostor, and if he really wanted to shoot an arrow with a bow, his eyes might be blinded by the butt of the arrow, in fact, they only had to observe for a while to find that this "hunter" could not even hold a bow, and who could hold a bow by holding the end of the bow.

Seeing the radiant look on Zhou Yu's face after getting the axe, the gnomes regretted that it was too late.

The fourth dwarf was holding a shovel, and when he saw that his three companions were killed, he used the shovel as a spear and threw it at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu knocked the shovel with an axe, and chased after him with the axe, and he was very tall and long, so he chased it, and the axe also cut into the back of the dwarf's neck, these dwarfs are just characters in the dream world, equivalent to NPCs, and there is no guilt in killing them.

Rattan Dreams is like the most realistic virtual reality game in its most form.

The blood bloomed, the stage became more dazzling, and Green looked down at the book, as if studying the script; The cat in the boots never showed up, and he had the same virtue as the troupe owner; Zhou Yu chased and killed the dwarf, and ran very hard, just like a drama.

If he hadn't been pitted by Green, he would have been more calm, but the battle didn't last long.

The gnomes were all dead, one head had been dug a big hole, one had a neck broken, a spine had been chopped off, a head had been cut off, one had its abdomen cut open, one had its chest flattened, and one head had stuck in the dirt.

Zhou Yu was covered in blood, with a happy expression on his face, and vented this, he was in a good mood, and wiped the blood stains on his face and hands with a shawl.

"She was killed by Bluebeard." Puss in boots reappeared next to the woman's corpse, crouching like a forensic doctor.

"Bluebeard again? He is really a professional for 30 years. With a logging axe in one hand and a pickaxe in the other, Zhou Yu decided to use these two weapons before leaving this rattan dream.

Green finally reacted, put away the book and walked over, probably under the influence of Zhou Yu, bent down and looked at it for a while, and asked with some confusion: "Are you sure it's him?" ”

The booted cat nodded, pulling out a thick blue whisker from the corpse's clothes, which was originally only very short, like a thread, which was difficult to spot.

Knowing this, Green retrieved his dagger, stood up violently, and thrust the dagger back into its scabbard, his tone becoming firm again: "Bluebeard must die!" ”

"Bluebeard must die." The cat in the boots threw away his beard and followed.

"Bluebeard is interesting." Zhou Yu also began to believe that Bluebeard was not a good person, and had heard that serial killers always liked to leave personal marks on the scene or take some kind of loot from the deceased, anyway, blue beards appeared next to both corpses, and Bluebeard definitely couldn't get out of it - whether he was framed or not.

"Bury her." Puss in boots offers.

"Not waiting for the prince?" Zhou Yu asked curiously, he really wanted to see what kind of magical existence Prince Charming was that could bring this corpse back to life.

"Prince?" A confused expression appeared on Green's face, and he shook his head and said, "There is no prince." ”

Zhou Yu was a little disappointed, but he was not interested in kissing the corpse as Prince Charming, so he and Green dug a pit in the center of the gnome's weapon clearing and buried the woman's body, while the dwarf's body was left alone, anyway, the beasts and maggots would help clean it up.

Continuing on the road, after walking for a long time, they finally left the forest.

There is a city outside the forest, and there is a royal palace in the center of the city, with white walls and golden tiles, magnificent and gorgeous.

Like Moon City, the city is shrouded in dark clouds, except that the clouds here are spiraling, and the central point is the Imperial Palace.

"There's a strong sense of final boss déjà vu, Bluebeard can't be the king, right?" Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at the golden dome of the palace, as if he saw countless soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, riding horses and charging at him.
