"We can't go on any longer. Dora pulled Catherine aside, and the death of the team member made her lose her sense of laughter, and for the first time said to Catherine in a rather serious and formal tone: "Gopher's feet are close to disability, and it is difficult to say how it will be in the future, but it is definitely impossible to walk normally in the near future, and you must rely on someone else's back to move." In this case, it is impossible to leave him, and it is impossible to carry him on his back to continue to face the danger, so we can only withdraw. ”
"I understand that this is the only option. Catherine patted Dora on the shoulder: "We're sorry because our mission has cost you guys good players, which I don't want to see anyway, I'm sorry." ”
"No, senior sister, it has nothing to do with you. Dora smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This is the fate of most professionals, and no one can escape it." ”
"Whatever you say, I'm responsible. Catherine sighed and said, "Well, our own mission will be suspended, and we will send you back with Erad first, and then we will re-enter the forest, lest you get lost when you go back." ”
"Yes, good. Dora was not polite at this time, and simply agreed: "After I go back, I will find a way to find the head of the regiment to see if it is possible to restore the gopher to the ability to walk normally, he is still young, less than twenty years old, and he should have an infinite future, alas, such a blow is too big for him." ”
"Actually, it's not completely impossible. Lina saw that Vivien's activity was almost over, and she walked over, just in time to hear Dora's last words: "If you're lucky, there's still a chance." ”
"Oh?" asked Dora eagerly, "what to do?"
"Legendary Rank Divine Skill Severed Limb Rebirth. Lina clasped her hands to her chest and said in an affirmative tone: "There are now a total of nine Legendary Rank Priests, and there are five of them who serve gods who can give this kind of divine magic, and one of these five is just in Free City. If you can ask him for help, then you'll be fine, and when the time comes, cut off the gopher's forefoot and respawn with a severed limb to get back to life. ”
The rebirth of severed limbs is a very advanced divine art, only priests above the legendary level can release it, and the divine magic can regenerate the severed limbs of the body, although the newly generated limbs are a little strange, but they can still be used normally after a long period of exercise. It's just that this kind of magic is very expensive, and it will also have a certain impact on the caster himself, so the priests will not use it unless they have to.
"I see, but not hopefully. Dora shook her head with some disappointment: "I can try to ask the head of the regiment to come forward, but I'm afraid it's difficult." For mercenaries, disability is a common thing, but you can't always go to the legendary priest to respawn limbs. When the time comes, who will promise and who will refuse? Therefore, it is estimated that the regiment commander will not agree. ”
"Or you can make him wait a few years. Lina patted her towering chest: "I am confident that I will definitely be promoted to a legend in a few years, and I will personally perform surgery on him when the time comes." ”
"Hah, that's really thanks. Dora, who had always been a little worried, was directly amused by Lina, after all, almost no one in the world dared to make such a self-evaluation, and Dora only regarded this as Lina's kind comfort: "Then I will ask you then." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard Vivien call out loudly: "Pannis, come on, you see what I found." ”
The girls turned around and saw that the roasting activity had ended, and a large pit with an area of about three or four hundred square meters had appeared on the surface of the rock, and the pit was two meters deep, and Vivien's voice was coming from the bottom of the pit. Pannis was standing on the edge of the pit, and from his position he could clearly see the bottom of the pit. After the sludge monster was burned to the ground, some of the things that could not be corroded and digested in its body were also left at the bottom of the pit, and these things were basically small objects with special textures, and there were about a dozen of them. Most of them have been destroyed, but a few items have not been damaged.
"This is the eldest sister's, it looks very hot. Vivien rummaged through the dozen or so items at the bottom of the pit for a moment, dropping a shiny one. It was a very cleverly designed longplate armor right hand glove, the whole body was forged from the most resistant magic steel, and the joints were drawn from magic steel
The filaments are woven into a fine net, and a small round shield is firmly embedded in the arm of the glove. The diameter of the shield is exactly the distance from the elbow to the wrist, and if you wear gloves, the shield will not affect the movement of the joints at all.
"Hey, I know you're going to throw it to me. Pannis kept throwing the gloves in his hand, and finally couldn't help but throw them to the ground, and said loudly: "Catherine, you can try this glove in a while, it looks like it matches the color of your chain mail, hehe." ”
"Here you go, this one is yours, it's cooled down. Vivien wrapped the activation rope around her waist and climbed up from the pit again, handing over a piece of swarthy metal. On closer inspection, it was a dagger, but the handle of the dagger had been corroded away, leaving only the blade.
"Tsk, good stuff. Pannis, who bulleted a dagger that was no different from an iron bar, praised: "The alloy of copper and helium steel looks like it was at least eight hundred years ago. It's going to be nice to deal with this thing.,The ability to break defense and break spells is very good.,Thank you.。 ”
"Well, nothing else. Vivien clapped her hands, "What now?"
"Judging by the way they looked, they should have to quit first. Pannis picked up the gloves at his feet and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look, it's too troublesome to exit and walk again, find a way to leave Erad behind." ”
"Be careful that the eldest sister scolds you. Vivien shrugged indifferently, "The eldest sister is not willing to agree to let them walk in the jungle without a guide." ”
"Well, that's no different from killing, and I don't want to. Pannis shook his head, "I mean think of something else. ”
"What's the solution?" asked Vivien.
"Guess. Pannis smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment." ”
"I think you've forgotten one thing. Before she could get close to Catherine, Pannis raised her voice and shouted. However, he did not mention Dora's withdrawal, but pointed to the night sky to remind Catherine and Dora: "Have you forgotten that there is still a signal for help." ”
"Oops. Catherine and Dora looked at each other awkwardly, "I really forgot." ”
"Let's go save people first. Dora bent down to pick up the gopher, who still looked desperate, "It should be too late to rush over now." ”
"I hope so. Catherine didn't say any more nonsense, waved her hand to everyone, and took the lead in the direction of the rising pillar of smoke.
Within the Dragon's Scar, the remaining few kilometers were not too far away, and in less than half an hour, everyone knew that they were approaching their destination, because everyone smelled a pungent fishy smell, and the occasional sound of weapons colliding. As soon as Pannis stretched out his hand to stop everyone from getting closer, he climbed up to the treetops, and made a few gestures to the night owls squatting in the trees, and then disappeared into the distance with a few ups and downs. After a few minutes, Pannis ran back from the ground with a helpless face, and said with a wry smile: "There are still five living people left over there, two gold and two silver ranks, and one bronze low-rank, which looks like it should be a guide." They did not find a good defensive position, so they could only set up a fire in an open spot for simple defense. ”
"What about the enemy?" Catherine asked quickly, urgently, "what is their opponent?"
"I can't say, I've never seen it. Pannis replied, "It looks like an anteater, forty or fifty of them." Their mouths are sharp, hollow keratin structures that attack mainly with their tongues, which can shoot out of the hollows of their mouths, which can be pierced or wound, and they have barbs on their tongues, and I suspect they secrete venom. The speed at which the tongue shoots out is very fast, and the attack power is also very high, which is very powerful. By the way, I took a look at the corpses of their teammates from a distance, this group of monsters should have pierced the human body with sharp mouths to suck blood and brains, I saw a lot of piercings on the body and head of the corpse, and there was no liquid outflow, indicating that it had been sucked out. ”
"Elad. Catherine said, "Do you know this kind of monster?"
"Sounds like it's supposed to be a marrow eater. Elad recalled, "I haven't seen it either, but I've heard my father mention it." ”
"Really?" Vivien asked inexplicably, but then hung her head again and said no more.
Elad looked at Vivien strangely, shook his head and continued, "Of course it's true, according to my father, this beast's tongue shoots even faster than the sound, it shoots its tongue out from behind you, and when you hear the sound, it's already hit. And they don't have too obvious weaknesses, and their defense is high, which makes them very difficult to deal with. ”
"Actually, they still have weaknesses. Pannis's expression was very strange, and he said a little embarrassed: "It's just that the location is more peculiar and not easy to find." ”
"Speak up and say it directly. Catherine frowned, "Don't be so twisted. ”
"Well, their weakness is in the anus. Pannis said simply: "I just saw that when they attacked and defended, they always hid the anal part best, so I estimated that it might be a weak point, so I tentatively shot an arrow, and killed one effortlessly." ”
"It's not found. Although Catherine had already seen Pannisy standing in front of her safely, she was still very worried when she thought of the scene where he would let forty or fifty demonic beasts besiege him if he was discovered, and said, "You are too reckless, you can come back and discuss any problems, there is no need to risk it at all." We are teammates, comrades-in-arms who trust each other's backs, and any danger should be shared with each other, and you have carried the danger of testing yourself like this, what do you want us teammates to do? Or do you think it's a shame for us to help each other?"
"Sorry, I didn't think it through. Seeing that Catherine was really angry, Pannis only raised his hand in surrender: "I will pay attention in the future and try not to have such a situation again." ”
"Well, forgive you. Catherine said, "You haven't been noticed by them." ”
"No, I went around to the other side to test it, and after the attack, I changed places. "They searched for a long time, but they didn't find it at all," Pannis said. ”
"Anal?" Catherine took a sip before continuing: "Now that we know the weakness, let's lurk in the past, make a surprise attack, and destroy as many enemies as possible in the first attack, so that it can be easier to follow." ”
