Chapter 7: Affection and Sacrifice

The sun was shining, this should have been a quiet and peaceful very ordinary day, and no one would care about it after it passed, and no one would think about it. But what shone in the sunlight was a shocking amount of blood and endless carnage.

Burning houses, collapsed walls. The streets were full of fleeing people, weeping and wailing, struggling and despairing, who had been either stabbed to death by the lizardmen with spears or hacked to death with stone axes by the bull-headed guards.

Su Ke hated his powerlessness, although he had no friendship with these people, but they were all living people! How could he not be angry that he died tragically in front of his eyes? The town could not be saved, and so many people could not be saved, so he could only vent his anger on the monsters that stood in his way.

"Dead open ......," Suke roared, slashing through his heavy sword in a circle, slashing at all the monsters that pounced on him, and then was engulfed in flames, black smoke filled the air, and charred limbs and internal organs were scattered everywhere.

Sooke shot out of the smoke and leaped towards another wave of monsters in his way.

Still angry, the magic used by Su Ke became stronger and stronger, faster and faster, and more powerful, as if it was about to crush everything in its path into crumbs.

At this moment, a mother and daughter, the mother in her thirties and the little girl about six years old, ran out of a house, and behind them were a bull-headed guard and a lizardman.

The little girl was so frightened in her mother's arms that she cried out, and the mother ran desperately with her daughter in her arms.

"Don't come, don't come, ah......" The mother was stabbed in the back by the javelin thrown by the lizardman, and fell to the ground, and the daughter in her arms was also thrown away, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Mommy, Mommy......" The little girl rubbed her arms on the ground and crawled towards her mother. Perhaps in her mind, the loss of her mother was far more terrifying than these monsters.

"Yueyue, Yueyue......" The mother stretched out her right hand to her daughter, with tears in her eyes, as if she wanted to touch her daughter's cute little face again at the last moment of her life.

The lizardman chased after his mother, showing no pity for the mother's shouts and cries, and raised his spear and stabbed her mother through the heart with a pop.

"Yueyue, run......" The mother's voice stopped abruptly, and a pair of eyes were dead, still looking at her daughter, as if she had to watch her daughter flee with her own eyes before she could close her eyes and rest in peace.

The little girl did not run away, and at the moment when her mother died, her dark and bright eyes became hollow and staring at her mother like this. Maybe the little girl didn't understand what it meant to die, but she knew that from now on, she had lost her mother, and she would never see the kind mother who would make her happy, play with her under the tree, and tell her stories about the big bad wolf every night before going to bed.

The minotaur tore at one of the mother's arms, and the lizardman drew his spear and stabbed the little girl to the side.

Su Ke, who was not far away, witnessed all this, watching the little girl lose her mother, looking at the empty and desperate eyes of the little girl, which made him angry and tearful, he couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his arm and threw the two-handed heavy sword burning with anger.

The lizardman was impaled through the chest by Sooke's two-handed heavy sword, and his entire body was knocked out by this huge force, and the little girl's head crossed and smashed to the ground, black smoke from the wound, and the spear that should have been stabbed at the little girl rolled to the side.

The Minotaur looked back and roared, as if he was unhappy with what had just happened, but all he saw was a huge flame blazing. It's rushing towards it.

Su Ke slammed his knee into the air, knocking the Minotaur several meters away, and then jumped up, slamming a punch into the Minotaur Guard's chest just as he landed.

Su Ke rode on the belly of the Minotaur Guard, stepped on the two forelimbs with both feet, and grabbed the Minotaur Guard's neck with both hands, desperately venting the anger in his heart.

At first, the Minotaur was still struggling and screaming, struggling desperately, but after a few seconds, it stopped moving.

Suke didn't stop, he still grabbed the neck of the bull-headed guard, his eyes were red, his eyes were about to split, his throat roared, and the flames soared,

In a short time, the bull-headed guard was burned to the ground with only blackened limbs, and all other parts were burned to ashes.

Suke stood up, slowly fading away the flames that were wrapping around him, and he walked up to the little girl, crouched down, and touched her little face with his hand.

The little girl raised her head, her eyes were full of tears and helplessness, she was not afraid, she just cried silently.

"Follow the big brother, the big brother will protect you like a mother. Suke picked up the little girl and walked over to the woman so that she could say goodbye to her mother.

"Mom, get up quickly! The ground is dirty, didn't you tell me to pay attention to hygiene and love cleanliness? Xiao Yueyue is very well-behaved, she will not be naughty in the future, she will not tear her clothes again, and she will not throw dirty socks around, so, Mom, you get up quickly!" The little girl shook her mother's shoulder, tears like a flood that broke the embankment, she buried her little head in her mother's neck, and kept crying.

Su Ke was annoyed, if he had just acted faster, he might have been able to save the little girl's mother. However, there is no "if" in this world, and "if" is just people's yearning for beautiful things, time cannot be reversed, and what has happened cannot be changed.

"I've been delayed for some time, I hope Uncle Qiao Mude and An Jie'er are okay. "There is no time left to be sad here, and Su Ke has to pick up the little girl and leave, because the large group of monsters are swarming, and if you don't leave, it will be difficult to get out later.

In An Jie'er's house, several middle-aged women and several elderly people looked frightened and shuddered. The mayor stopped whimpering, and he sat motionless with a gloomy expression. Uncle Jomud looked through the crack in the gate and observed the situation in the street. Angel walked up and down the hall, and Suke hadn't come back yet, which made her a little restless.

With a few clicks, the three bull-headed guards smashed the fence and came to the small courtyard, stopped and watched for a moment, and then cast a fierce and vicious gaze on the gate of Angel's house.

"Not good, quick, get upstairs. Jomud turned and whispered to the crowd. Immediately after that, he went to move heavy objects such as tables and cabinets against the door, hoping to resist the crazy attack of the monsters.

Several women and the elderly were busy running to the second floor, during which an old man fell and climbed for a long time without anyone to help.

"It's going to be fine, Suke will be back, we have to hold on. While helping her father move heavy objects, Angel comforted everyone.

The mayor got up, walked over to the fallen old man, and helped him to his feet.

"Let's run through the back door! Wait for the monster to go around the back, and we'll be turtles in the urn, and the Suke you mentioned hasn't come back yet, maybe he's dead. The old man who had fallen had a great deal of effort to get up, and then he said this angrily, completely ignoring the feelings of others.

"No, Suk won't die, he'll come back to save us. Angel's eyes turned red and she argued vigorously.

"Alas, we can't escape now, and the only hope is that the young man who knows magic will come back soon. Mayor Mare shook his head and sighed, his face gloomy.

"Go and bring the shovel and the long stick again, and be sure to resist it. The monsters outside began to bang on the door, and Qiao Mude struggled to hold his shoulders against the cabinet that resisted the door, and said to An Jie'er fiercely.

An Jie'er found three four-meter-long wooden sticks, used them to press against the cabinet, and then found three wooden stakes and hammers, and nailed the wooden stakes to the bottom of the wooden sticks to increase the strength of resistance.

The bull-headed guards used stone axes to chop the wooden gate, and found it difficult to break through, so they were angry, and they retreated a few meters, exerted all their strength, and hit it directly with their horns.

Bang, clang, the gate was slammed, wood chips were scattered, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"You guys go upstairs, I'll resist here. Jomud yelled at the people who remained in the hall. Seeing An Jie'er refusing to go upstairs, she yelled again, "An Jie'er, you go up too, quickly." ”

"But, Dad, you ......" An Jie'er was not at ease and wanted to stay and help.

"Don't do it, you go up quickly, don't get in the way here. Qiao Mude spoke sharply, not giving An Jie'er a chance to argue at all.

"Dad, be careful. An Jie'er knew that her father was so heavy for her own good, so she had to go up to the second floor with tears in her eyes.

Jomud found a shovel and a few bottles of alcohol, soaked some cotton cloth with alcohol, and raced it into the mouth of the bottle, next to which an oil lamp was lit.

The bull-headed guards slammed the door, found that they could not open it, and began to hit the wall, the wall was wooden, only four or five centimeters thick, they roared, the horns of the ox forward, with all their strength, and slammed with all their might, and the wall was broken in just two blows.

When the bull-headed guard saw Qiao Mude, his eyes immediately became fierce and fierce, and he raised his stone axe and pounced on Qiao Mude.

Jomud didn't flinch, he lit a vial of alcohol and threw it at the head of the minotaur guard.

The bull-headed guard was smashed to the ground, the alcohol was spilled out, the upper body was poured through, and the head was engulfed in flames. He threw away the stone axe in his hand, and flapped the flames with both hands, slamming through the hall like a headless fly.

Qiao Mude seized the opportunity, picked up the shovel, and stabbed the major artery in the neck of the bull-headed guard, and the blood gushed out like a flood that had burst the embankment, and fell to the ground struggling desperately.

"It seems that the blood vessels of this monster are very similar to those of humans!" Qiao Mude teased as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The other two bull-headed guards also rushed in, and when they saw their companions writhing on the ground, they were immediately furious, and they pounced on Qiao Mud without a head.

Jomud did so, lit the bottle of alcohol, and threw it at the bull-headed guard who rushed in front.

The hapless bull-headed guard did not dodge, and was also burned to the point that he threw away his stone axe, and flapped the flames with both hands, and slammed them around, but the flames of alcohol were not so easily extinguished, and no matter how he struck, the flames still burned fiercely, making him howl in pain.

The bull-headed guard in the back, apparently a little smarter, dodged the bottle of alcohol that Jomud threw at him, raised his stone axe and slashed at it.

Qiao Mude resisted with a shovel, but the strength of the bull-headed guards was too great, and after only resisting twice, the shovel was shaken out, and the tiger's mouth on his right hand was also torn.

Holding back the pain, Jomud rolled on the ground and circled behind the bull-headed guard.

This should have been a great opportunity to win, but Qiao Mude's skills were not good, and before Qiao Mude could make any moves, the bull-headed guard turned around, lowered his head, and hit it with his horns.

Jomud didn't have time to dodge this time, and the horn stabbed him in the chest, and then slammed into the wooden cabinet that was blocking the door.

"I, no, let you monsters hurt Angel. Qiao Mud coughed up blood and said in a voice as thin as a gossamer. Immediately after that, his hands groped for something on the wooden cabinet, and after a while, Qiao Mude had an extra scalpel in his right hand.

"Su Ke, next, please leave it to you, you must, take care of An Jie'er, don't let me down!" Uncle Qiao Mude used his last strength to stab the scalpel into the major neck artery of the Minotaur guard.
