Chapter XXVIII
The ghouls' massive bodies were so powerful that they looked like a humanoid tank coming at them, and the doors of the houses could not accommodate them, so they slammed into them so violently that sawdust flew and the door frame was smashed. But Rodin also got a short buffer time www.biquge.info
Rodin stood in front of the window and watched as the monster went on a rampage, shattering the furniture and other obstructions in the room. When the ghoul tracked him down again, Rodin nimbly slipped out of the window and went straight to another house.
Repeatedly luring the monster and running away, the two ghouls became frantic several times when they saw their prey flee from under their noses.
But Rodin knew that this was not a long-term solution. Gritted his teeth and secretly made a decision.
Two ghouls followed their prey and recklessly stormed a dwelling again, rummaging through the cabinets and destroying them.
Rodin held his breath and sat quietly on the beams of the house, intently judging their movements.
"Soon, almost. β
The two monsters were imperceptibly separated by some distance, and one of the ghouls walked under Rodin, unwittingly, standing still, sniffing as keenly as a hound.
"Whew?" His heart was beating like a beat, a fine sweat slipped from his forehead, Rodin tensed his body, his hands firmly grasped "Erwin", the blade of the sword was aimed at the monster, and he jumped lightly in a desperate move.
"Poof" flashed a glimmer of blue light in mid-air, and the extremely sharp blade fell from the sky, and the electric light and flint penetrated the monster's brain, and the blood spurted out like a high-pressure water gun, staining Rodin's face mottled, but his heart was excited.
However, before he had time to rejoice, a strong wind suddenly hit behind him, and what was worse was that "Erwin" was stuck in the monster's skull and couldn't pull it out for a while.
"Abandon the sword?" The thought flashed, and the body hesitated for a moment, unable to react, and was suddenly hit by a huge force.
At this moment, Rodin was still holding "Erwin", and with this impact force, the blade of the sword was pulled out, and with the rag-like body flying away, it slammed into the wall.
"Gross. For a moment, Rodin felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car, and his whole body throbbed as if he were falling apart, and his left arm was lying limply on the ground, and the slightest movement hurt into the bone marrow, and he couldn't exert his strength at all. Sure enough, the body still can't be compared with the monster.
"Aang!" Suddenly, a panicked roar sounded behind him, and Rodin struggled to get up, only to see that the ghoul who had just knocked him away sank slowly and steadily as if he had fallen into a swamp of quicksand. It flailed its limbs desperately, trying to grab the ground, but to no avail.
"Thisβit must be Thomasin. "Soon, the ghoul, whose entire body was engulfed in the earth, left with only one head exposed, still barking and biting at the air like a mad dog.
What are you waiting for?, Rodin dragged himself up, limped in front of the monster, and stabbed the sword in his right hand.
"Puff" was another bewitching blood flower, and he found that he somewhat liked the feeling of a headshot with a sword.
"Whew-" Taking a deep breath of relief, Rodin lay down leaning limply against the wall and cried out weakly: "
Tomasin, you can come out, the monsters are all dead. However, there was no movement, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in my heart.
Soon after, a narrow hole opened in the ground, and an arm covered in black scale armor protruded from the hole. Rodin hurriedly walked over and pulled her out.
In a moment, Thomasin was pulled out and lay down in front of Rodin. A huge wound had been cut between her chest and abdomen, dripping with blood, revealing her internal organs, her scales were dull and had lost their former luster, and her eyes were no longer so agile and cunning. She tried to speak, but her throat rose and fell violently, and she cried out silently.
In the end, he could only look at Rodin expectantly.
Tell the truth, or keep it hidden?
Rodin stretched out his hand, gently stroked Thomasin's ugly face that he had previously scoffed at, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I actually lied to you, I didn't see Dick at all, and he wasn't killed by the monster." β
Suddenly, Thomasin's eyes widened with rage, and his right hand gripped Rodin's body tightly, and his nails dug deep into his flesh.
Rodin kowtowed to her and said categorically: 'I, Rodin, am here today to assure you that even if I find the ends of the earth and spend my life in poverty, I will definitely find Dick, and I will let him live a peaceful and happy life. If he dies, then I will send his ashes to be buried with you. β
As the vow ended, the anger in Thomasin's expression suddenly dissipated with the wind, and his tense arms relaxed, and he returned to eternal silence with a relieved, serene countenance.
At the same time, a translucent figure emerged from Thomasin's corpse and floated in mid-air, starry eyes staring at Rodin, full of anticipation and pleading, and soon after, scattered into specks of light and drifted into nothingness.
It turns out that monsters are also spirits.
Rodin thought, "It's all my fault, if it weren't for the deception of her, she wouldn't be here to fight the monsters." Besides, she saved my life. β
Guilty and grateful, Rodin dragged his wounded body, carried Thomasin's body, and left the house, hiding all the way to the vicinity of the haystack, where his body was temporarily placed
"When I've taken care of the chore, I'll come over and bury you. β
After doing this, Rodin couldn't help but think of Leviathan and Melissa's deception, sad and inexplicable, and the whole person was in a trance, and unconsciously came to the center of the town.
The gaze turned uncontrollably, and suddenly froze.
"What is this?!"
In the central square, there stood a terrifying huge mass of flesh covered with blue-black blood vessels, which was constantly rising and pounding like a heart, and a dense tide of ghouls was guarding it, half-crouching on the ground like a loyal dog, and there was an inexplicable concentration on its hideous face, like a devout believer on a pilgrimage.
The strange frequency and mysterious scenes made Rodin dizzy for a while.
He couldn't help but think, "Turns out most ghouls are guarding this thing. I don't know what kind of terrible food is pregnant in that lump of meat, and looking at it from a distance makes me feel like my heart is beating and I have to find a way to destroy it!"
As he was thinking, two figures suddenly appeared on the other side of his vision.
Rodin's eyes lit up, and he endured the pain in his body and walked towards them.
Akama and Leviathan were slaughtered, and the cold wind blew their clothes, but it could not blow away the solemnity and heaviness of their countenances.
"It's not good. Leviathan said lightly.
Akama's red lips opened slightly, "The ghoul lair is about to ripen, and it seems that the two of us must join forces." β
"But before that, let's arrange that kid first. β
Akamaddai frowned slightly, looking at the tenacious figure that was limping with a complicated expression.
"Get out of here, Rodin, you shouldn't have come to such a fight. β
Rodin couldn't help but curse, he wanted to leave, but his current state is estimated to be killed by monsters halfway through.
Seeing Rodin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Leviathan suddenly smiled and said, "Rodin boy, you are behind me." With that, he stretched out his finger and hooked it at him.
Rodin lowered his head, did not look at Akama, and quietly came behind Leviathan, he was concerned that he must not die.
"Stay here honestly, don't go out of the circle. β
Saying that, Leviathan pulled out the bright silver long sword behind him with his backhand, his wrist shook slightly, and the sword light turned around, Rodin only felt that a white light flashed in front of him like lightning, and on the ground, a circle with a diameter of about one meter suddenly appeared, encircling his whole person, from beginning to end, he didn't see Leviathan's movements clearly, and in mid-air, there was a few lingering sword light remnants. What kind of hand speed is that?
A question followed, could this circle protect him from monsters?
Rodin took a closer look at the prosaic-looking circle.
Upon closer inspection, he found some mysteries, and in this circular scratch, there were countless lines of energy as thin as dust like blue arcs of energy constantly swimming in it, and it could be seen that it was full of unpredictable power.
This is also the use of "force"?
