Chapter 037: Calculation
Although I didn't deliberately look at it, I still clearly saw that when the three arrows were shot, two of the arrows suddenly drew two arcs on both sides, and then hit the tail of the first arrow at the same time, and the purple-red electric light on the two arrows was transmitted to the first arrow, and then, the two striking arrows suddenly exploded in mid-air, turning into a pile of sawdust, and the first arrow suddenly disappeared in this ten-thousandth of a second. (Homage to Z Big)
No, not gone, but too fast, so fast that only a dark purple scratch was left in mid-air, as if the space had been pierced at this moment.
In the next moment, the arrow was found in one of the spider's eyes, and it flashed purple.
I was stunned. Melva was stunned, even the spider, and the rest of its eyes seemed to look at the deflated eyeball, which was oozing cloudy pupils, and in a few moments it let out a roar that was enough to ravage the underground church.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I immediately ran in the opposite direction to Melva, shouting as I ran, "Leave this matter alone, open the mechanism immediately!" At the same time, my father's greatsword in his hand suddenly burst out with infinite light, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
The spider quickly spotted me yelling, and then the masked man in the other direction, and quickly judged that the masked man's bow was the culprit that had caused him to lose an eye, and it roared and rumbled at the masked man.
The spider moved at a speed that was completely out of keeping with its size, and I could even hear a sonic boom from its massive body tearing through the air.
The Masked Man panicked, and she turned and ran against the wall, and the spider slammed into the wall, collapsing in half, before turning around and lunging at the Masked Man's back.
I arrived just in time, and in the direction the spider came from, a sword stabbed out and stabbed the spider in the head.
At that moment I felt like I was stabbed on a stone. The huge force of recoil sent me flying straight into the air, slamming into the wall.
The masked man stopped abruptly and pulled three more arrows from his knapsack.
I noticed that she still had an arrow left in her rucksack.
The masked man slowed his breath and pulled the bowstring at an incredibly slow pace, from the new moon to the half moon to the full moon, and the three arrows were firmly attached to the hard bow drawn into the full moon.
Time stood still in this moment.
But I was scolding in my heart, Melva just photographed the eleventh stele, and now take out the last hole card, if you can't kill it, you can only wait. The masked man is hot-blooded, impulsive, but brainless.
I picked up my father's greatsword and lunged at the spider from a different angle.
The spider didn't look at me, its seven eyes staring at the three-point cluster of arrows in the masked man's hand.
The moment the masked man's hand released the bowstring, the spider jumped out of the way in the other direction, and I pounced in the direction the spider was heading. The three arrows pierced the spider's back and stuck in it.
But I don't think the spider will think about the three arrows on his back for the time being, because I have already raised my father's greatsword. All the light suddenly converged into a thin pale golden shell, sweeping through the thousands of armies!
The remnants of the spider's two forelimbs were severed like a devastation, and the spider looked at me again.
But it was a little late, because the second sword had already slashed diagonally, and the side of the spider's body, the second forelimb on the right side was cut off by Qi Gen, and red, red, green, and green juice spurted out of the fracture.
When the sword momentum reached this move, I couldn't stop, followed by a killing move, and slashed Huashan.
The feeling of fighting Illya returned, and the momentum of a sword circle carrying and cutting off one of the spider's forelimbs appeared above my head, and at that moment, the light on the sword body suddenly converged, leaving only a trace of a substantial pale golden crystal-like object, attached to the spine of my father's greatsword.
There was a local sound, and I suddenly flew like a cloud.
Melva had already flapped the sixteenth stele and hurried to the seventeenth, a few paces away.
The masked man took the last arrow from his quiver.
I was hit on the hilt of my sword by something black that came out of nowhere, and for a moment my strength suddenly emptied, and then I was hit head-on by a spider. I felt like my ribs were broken.
As I fell heavily on the ground, I saw that the black thing was a small spider the size of a basin, and although it had smashed the sword away, it had been smashed into a lump of meat sauce by the aftermath of the sword.
The spider happily plunged its paw down at me!
Melva had just opened the seventeenth stele. The masked arrow had just hit the string.
At that moment, I knew that I was going to die, and in the moments before I died, many things suddenly turned in my mind, such as the old man I met when I was a child, the pirate leader I let go when I was a bounty hunter, the head deserter with the rank of colonel I met in Vekia Snowfield, the famous Rhodoc wine I drank in Aaron, the stall I frequented in the village of Kurum by the Yu River, the mysterious snack called churros from the East and the mysterious oriental chef called Wen Niu that I ate there.
I know that people look back on their lives before they die, but I don't know why I thought of so many snacks at the end, I don't admit that I am a foodie, but at the moment I am a solid foodie.
I sighed, "I really want to eat fried dough sticks again......"
The spider stopped suddenly, its short sharp jaws now no more than ten centimeters from my neck, but it seemed to sense something, tilting its head to hear clearly.
Melva slapped open the last three steles in one go, and at the same moment, the masked man shot the last arrow at the spider's head.
On the wall of the altar, two deep passages suddenly rumbled open, one facing up and the other facing down.
The masked man's arrow slid into the part of the spider's head that connected to the body, and the arrow was unexpectedly sharp, and I even saw the glowing cluster of three-edged arrows piercing through the spider's chest.
The masked man suddenly spoke, and she said, "Hold your head." ”
I did so subconsciously, and then I heard a crash of the earth, a huge wave of air tossing me off the ground, and I felt like I had become a poor leaf in the autumn wind.
When I opened my eyes, I had fallen at least twenty meters from my previous position, my leather robe was completely shattered, and my chest and abdomen were full of large and small wounds, fortunately, all of them were skin wounds. But the blood-drenched look was quite terrifying.
I looked in the direction of the spider, and for some reason there was a hole in its back the size of a wine barrel, which almost blew its body in two, splashing countless white, yellow, red, and green liquids everywhere. It struggled to get up, scratching its long legs a few times, but could only lie on the ground, and its remaining five long legs slowly shrank and gradually stopped moving.
Melva didn't speak, but looked at me with a strange look.
I said, "I'm going to be embarrassed if you think I'm doing that." ”
Melva hadn't spoken yet, she just watched.
I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I turned my head to see the masked figure standing behind me, her head bowed at the moment, as if she was very sad.
I said, "By the way, I almost forgot that there was still you, you have been following us all the time, what is the plan?"
The masked man looked up at me, and the only thing I had to remember was that the green pupils were so beautiful, like emeralds.
Then the ground began to tremble, bouncing up and down. I clung to the wall: "It's an earthquake, it won't be so miserable, I can't be saved by the earthquake underground!"
Melva reacted first: "It's not an earthquake, it's Alduin!"
I said, "What is that O's cause for?"
Suddenly, without saying a word, the masked man dug into the altar where the gems had been placed, pulled out a crooked horn, and turned and went into the upward passage.
I haven't reacted yet. Melva suddenly looked like a cat with its tail stepped on, and almost jumped up: "She snatched our things, chase after us!"
I turned my head and glanced at the spider curled up in a pile, and seemed to see that it was not dead, but that its legs were still moving, and I was so frightened that I turned around and burrowed into the tunnel upwards.
Before I went in, I had a strange thought, and I thought that I would come back one day. As for why, I don't know.
I chased Melva, and Melva chased the masked man, who ran fast in front. It didn't take long for me to emerge from the dark, deep and winding tunnel.
As soon as I came out, I crashed into Melva.
I was about to curse when I saw the masked man standing aside, Melva and her eyes staring straight ahead, as if they had been stricken. I looked over to them in confusion, and at first glance I felt my brain buzz, and my whole body seemed to be on fire.
The place where we came out was on the other side of the mountain, where there were many old weeds and old trees, and it was almost impossible to see from the outside, but from this angle we could see the whole of Al-Degg. Now the fire was boiling below, and a huge pillar of smoke rose in the air with the wind, and a dozen villagers were tied by ropes and knelt by the pillar of fire. There were clearly several figures struggling in the fire. Countless gray cloaks were clustered around, singing songs that they didn't know what they were talking about, and surrounded the burning El-Deig in the middle, as if they had been burned at the stake in that hidden valley.
"Why? The Dark Order has already begun to invade? But how is it possible that this is Al-Deig, six or seven hundred miles from the sea, with a Nord kingdom in between?" I said, "and, where are our people?"
Melva's eyes were staring, her mouth couldn't be closed, and she was still counting the number of gray cloaks at 1510. The masked man beside her suddenly spoke, "There are fifteen hundred people in total, and the five teams of the Dark Hunters are concentrated here. Your people are in a col two miles to the north. If not, you don't have to look for them. ”
I looked back, "How do you know?"
The masked man said, "I have followed you all the way, and you have forty carts, at least two hundred, but now no more than twenty people have been burned at the stake, and there are no corpses or traces of fierce fighting." It shows that they are not lost here. Two miles to the north, there is a valley with a narrow mouth and water and food. If your men still have a bit of brains, they'll definitely stick there. ”
I said, "You've been following us?"
The masked man said, "That's right, from Viruga followed." ”
I couldn't help but blush a little when I thought of Viruga. Melva suddenly said, "No way, I've been careful to check around, if you follow me, I can't find out." ”
The masked man sneered, "Do you also call it an inspection?" and stopped talking. Melva's face flushed.
I said, "Don't argue yet, what do you want to do with us?"
The masked man said, "I mean nothing else, and I am not your enemy. We have common enemies, the ones below. ”
I said, "You don't mean anything else, so what you did to me in the tunnel doesn't count?"
The masked man wondered, "What did I do to you?"
I said, "You don't know what you've done to me? You don't want to admit it now, do you?" I tell you, you have to be responsible!"
The masked man said, "I don't know what you're talking about at all. He turned his head and ignored me again.
I saw Melva's gaze, which was also full of confusion and ambiguity, and immediately turned my head away from her.
I said, "You seem to have taken one of my things just now." ”
The masked man said, "What?"
I said, "It's the crooked, horn-like thing." ”
The masked man said, "Yours?" is your name engraved on it, or do you call it and it will say yes?"
I'm speechless.
Melva said, "Don't be fooled, call things out well, we'll consider letting you go!"
The masked man said, "Don't think about letting me go now, think about whether the Dark Order will let your men go." They have now found traces of your men. ”
I fixed my eyes on a knight on a black horse running out of the valley to the north, shouting something, and then the dense gray cloak moved towards the north, and about five hundred knights mounted their horses and ran first.
I said, "Oh no, they must have found out about my men." Let's hurry over, maybe it's still too late!"
The masked man glanced at me: "Over, how to pass, walk?"
I was speechless again.
The masked man beckoned to me: "Behind this mountain, there are a few of my men and a few horses, let's ride there." ”
Melva immediately stood up: "Why should we believe you, why do you want to help us, what if your men are waiting to kill us?"
The masked man sneered: "Come if you have the guts, I want to see how small the heir of the Holy King Leon is!"
I pushed Melva away and followed.
Rounding a rock, with valleys on both sides, and in front of me was a road down the mountain, and I vaguely remember entering the cave near here. The masked man didn't look back, and walked forward with all his might.
Melva asked, "My lord, are you so relieved to follow her?"
I was noncommittal, and I was actually beating a drum in my heart.
The masked man turned into the valley on the right, and then let out an angry exclamation. I don't know why, but my heart suddenly moved, as if something good was about to happen, and I took three steps and two steps to catch up.
Then I saw the masked man holding a scimitar in both hands, trembling with anger. If it weren't for the fact that her arrows had already run out in the cave, I had no doubt that he would have shot the two men in front of him into a sieve. I followed her angry gaze and saw only a dozen men dressed in the same clothes as hers tied up and thrown to the ground, a dozen horses tied to trees intact, and two men sitting in the middle of a group of men in yellow with their hands and feet tied and their mouths gagged roasting something.
Then I smelled the smell of fragrant bacon, smashed my mouth, and laughed: "Dryer, Peter, you two guys, where did you get the cumin powder?"
Yes, these two guys who tied up a group of people in yellow and threw them to the ground, and swaggered to barbecue meat to eat, are the two strange flowers in my old G pirates.
The two of them were stunned when they saw the masked guest, but they couldn't stop getting excited when they saw me. The dryer howled from afar: "Boss, come and eat barbecue!"
I pressed the masked man's trembling hand, put the scimitar back into its scabbard, and said, "It's no big deal, you've been following us for so long, and it's only a matter of time before you're discovered, go get some barbecue." ”
The masked man's eyes still swelled with anger: "Quickly release my men!"
I waved my hand, and Melva went up and let him go.
By the time the dozen or so men in yellow had calmed down a bit, we had already gathered around the fire and nibbled off a pig's leg.
Melva said, "My lord, are you really in a hurry to save people?"
I said, "Don't be too anxious, now that I know they have Willy in charge, Roar and Jamila, what else do I need to worry about? Don't forget Roar's prestige, he hasn't said anything until now, which means that these guys haven't threatened them yet." ”
Melva nodded: "But boss, do you need to gnaw off two pork legs with one face?
I thought about it, too, and threw the half-gnawed pork leg to the masked man. She didn't eat a single bite from the beginning. I said, "You can eat some too, follow us all the way, it was such a vicious battle just now, you can't stand it if you don't eat some, and you will have to fight soon." ”
The masked man turned his head away: "You beat it, not me." ”
I said, "You must not have followed us just for that horn, or you would have left now." Don't hold on, maybe you'll have to fight for a day. ”
The masked man glanced at me, his eyes full of anger. Then she put aside the pork leg, picked up a piece of dried beef, lifted the lower half of the veil, and tore off a strip and ate it slowly.
I nodded: "So you're from Salander." ”
The masked man was stunned for a moment, and looked up at me: "How do you know?"
I laughed: "I wasn't sure before, but now I'm completely sure." ”
The masked man knew that he had been fooled, so he turned his head away and stopped eating the beef. I ignore her, hunger is my own business.
Although we talked about it, we still ate in ten minutes. I patted my stomach and picked a horse to straddle on. I said, "Everybody get on the horse, let's go and help our brothers and sisters!"
The man in yellow glanced at the masked man, who nodded imperceptibly. The men in yellow then jumped on horseback en masse, and their movements were uniform.
The dryer also jumped on a horse, wiped its mouth, and got ready to go.
I smiled and said, "You have one horse for each of your men, Peter doesn't ride a horse, the dryer, Melva and I have one horse for each person, you don't seem to have any horses, do you want to come up, I'll take you?"
The masked man glanced at me, and immediately a man in yellow jumped off his horse, and the masked man rolled over and rode up, and with a whip, the horse shot out like an arrow.
I said, "What a hot chick." He also knocked the horse's belly and followed.
More than a dozen horses galloped at the same time, their hooves pointing straight to the north.
