Chapter 182: A Third Man Who Got His Foot in the Side
When human beings are in the line between life and death, they often think of many things in a short moment that is as long as a minute or as short as a few seconds, such as all the momentary moments of themselves from birth to the present or some lofty ideas or something - in movies, anime or games, this situation is often commonly known as memory killing.
Zhu Henghong's situation at this moment cannot be said to be in line with this kind of bridge, because from the time he started to run for his life, he has been running wildly for five minutes now, which is definitely an extraordinary performance for him, a Han male college student who is not fat but usually does not pay attention to physical exercise.
However, this is useless, the self-proclaimed crested ibis monster girl still hangs a few meters behind her and follows unhurriedly, but once her speed slows down, she will use a gliding dive to force herself to squeeze her strength and potential again, and continue to run forward breathlessly.
He can see that this crested ibis monster girl is fighting Yang Mou who allows her to escape for her life until she is completely exhausted, and he can only bear it: if he doesn't run, he will be caught directly and then eaten, if he wants to resist, he is an ordinary human being, and he can't beat even the weakest monster here, if you are reasonable, at least Zhu Henghong really doesn't know, how many of the monsters and goblins in Gensokyo can listen, or can listen to it, but it is quite difficult to say whether they can change their original intentions and actions
This is completely a situation of death both horizontally and vertically, Zhu Henghong can't think about anything at all, so he can only continue to run all the way to the ground, for him, every breath of air that he can breathe now is the most precious.
At this critical moment when it is basically slow and it is very likely to become a meal in the mouth of the monster girl, Zhu Henghong actually has the leisure time to run for his life while thinking about some things that he has and does not.
In Zhu Henghong's mind, which he usually reads N miscellaneous books and science and education documentaries, he remembers that the crested ibis was called the crested ibis in ancient times. It is a kind of stork crested ibis bird that was once widely distributed in eastern China, Japan, Russia, North Korea and other places, characterized by white and red feathers all over the body, and long willow leaf-type feathers drooping on the neck, to catch locusts, frogs, small fish, snails and loaches for a living, and the temperament is withdrawn and quiet, timid and afraid of people.
And that's not all. Zhu Henghong also remembers very well that the bird's population has declined sharply due to environmental degradation and many other factors, and by the 80s of the last century, only the last seven wild populations were left at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains in Yangxian County, Hanzhong City, southern Shaanxi Province, China. Fortunately, after a long period of artificial breeding, the population of crested ibises has reached more than 2,000, of which the wild population has exceeded more than 1,500, and the distribution area has also expanded from southern Shaanxi to Henan, Zhejiang and other places.
But no matter what, Zhu Henghong has a deep impression of this bird, that is, the crested ibis is definitely a unique bird in China, and it is still a first-class protected animal in China. Even if the surrounding countries used to have and are now extinct, unless they are imported from the zoo - since this is Gensokyo, then this is also in Japan, but why is there a Chinese bird monster girl here? And she violates her ethnic recipe and wants to eat people?!
Poor Zhu Henghong forgot that although there are very few Chinese monsters in Gensokyo, there are definitely them: there is a Chinese monster Red Meiling who stands guard all day and night at the gate of the Red Devil Pavilion and dozes off, and there is also an evil fairy named Huo Qing'e in the temple of gods in the world who can penetrate the wall like the Taoist priest of Laoshan. It's just that compared to the high appearance rate and high popularity of these two Chinese monsters and Chinese evil immortals, the sense of existence of this Chinese bird monster is too low. Otherwise, why can you still see some descriptions of her in the book "Oriental Xianglintang", and the rest, such as the game animation comics, is basically nowhere to be seen, and it would be very good to have a passerby character playing soy sauce
This way of inattentively escaping and thinking crankily soon made Zhu Henghong taste the consequences: he racked his brains to think about how to escape the claws of the guy whose first word in the name was also Zhu's at the same time, and his foot tripped over a stone on the road, and when he didn't have time to get up again, the toib had already rushed over, and he could only desperately roll to the side of the road with his hands and feet, and his escape posture was like a crawler in Resident Evil.
But even so. Zhu Henghong, who had exhausted his physical strength, was finally forced to the edge of a big tree, but the toki was close at hand, and he could kill him just by raising his hand.
"If you want to hate, hate why you fell into Gensokyo, or fall in this wilderness. Looking at Zhu Henghong, who was dripping with cold sweat and his face was full of neck. The toib pursed the corners of his mouth, and as soon as his right hand was raised, his five fingers immediately stretched out his long nails, flashing with a faint cold light.
Just as the toki was about to kill with one blow, and Zhu Henghong was ready to close his eyes and wait for death, a sound of gear and string rotation and collision sounded in the distance.
Zhu Henghong, who hadn't closed his eyes yet, saw the crested ibis monster girl in front of him suddenly tilt his head to the right, and a silver shining thing shot towards him almost at the same time, and nailed it to the book he was leaning on with a pop, making him almost pee his pants - the thing nailed to the trunk of the tree was next to his left ear, and if it was a little further to the right, he would have to become an ear!
Glancing to the left, Zhu Henghong was shocked to find that the thing that almost took away his ears but let the tore not kill him was actually a crossbow arrow! And he also saw that there was a faint scar on the left side of the face of the tore that was a little angry and corrupt for this sudden situation, and it was gradually oozing bright red blood - even if he predicted that there was an attack behind him with the perception that the monster far exceeded the human sense, the toib was inevitably grazed by the arrow of the crossbow arrow, which shows the speed of this crossbow arrow.
"Who?" "Who!" shouted one man and one demon in unison, and then looked in the direction where the crossbow bolt had fired.
About a hundred meters away from them, a man riding a tall black horse, covered in pitch-black armor, was there, holding the reins in his left hand and a strange heavy steel crossbow in one hand in his right hand.
But what puzzled Zhu Henghong was puzzled. It was this guy who could be said to have just saved him: this guy dressed like a heavy knight in medieval Europe, but in one hand he held a pulley crossbow that looked much better than a modern military crossbow? He remembered that medieval knights in Europe hated any long-range weapon, could it be that this savior was not a knight? Wait, why did there be a man dressed like a knight in medieval Europe in Gensukyo? and saved himself? What the hell is going on?
Here Zhu Henghong was already a mess in his head, and the toki didn't care about his prey, so he turned directly to face the heavily armed knight and shouted, "Who are you?
Facing the shouts of the toki. The Heavy Knight did not respond, but silently used his movable arm to pull the crossbow string with a pulley set of several metal gears on both sides of the steel crossbow body, and then pulled a new bolt from the slot under the crossbow trough where the bolts were stored, and inserted it into the crossbow slot.
Looking at the movements of the heavily armed knight, Toki Zi was slightly stunned and said: "I don't know you, you shouldn't be a monster or a goblin, and you don't look like a witch, you are a human in the village? Are hunters? When will hunters wear metal clothes and still be able to ride horses? Could it be that the hunters in the village can be rich like this now?"
Regarding Toki's words, Zhu Henghong felt that he was powerless to complain, and he could only hope that this heavily armed knight could save his life. Otherwise, he would have to die here today!
"Don't prey on this outsider, go find other unlucky guys, this guy is mine. The Heavy Knight didn't answer Tokiko's question, and a male voice sounded deep from inside the fully enclosed helmet decorated with demonic wings.
Could it be that this guy is also a monster or a non-human? Listening to his tone, it is estimated that he is paying attention to eating white food? Zhu Henghong felt that he was about to cry, he usually did not have too many friends, let alone the opposite sex, but now he was being snatched by a beautiful monster girl and a mighty armored man. It seems to outsiders that he is bisexual who is being fought for by girls and at the same time
"Oh, just a human trying to order me?" the ibis narrowed her eyes, looking ill-intentioned. "For the sake of me that I already have an outsider who can eat, you humans from this village should hurry up, or I don't mind finishing dinner early after the main meal. ”
The toki had already issued a warning and threat on the surface, but the heavy knight was unmoved, and directly pulled the trigger of the pulley steel crossbow in his right hand again, and the second crossbow bolt flew towards the toib with a sharp whistling sound.
The toki, who had been wary of this for a long time, quickly dodged to the side. The second crossbow bolt completely missed this time and was nailed next to Zhu Henghong's right ear, which completely made him dare not move at all.
This knight brother, are you sure you're not here to help this crested ibis monster girl fix the ingredients?! Looking at the heavily armed knight who once again pulled the string of the pulley steel crossbow, Zhu Henghong really cried now. Tears welled up
While dodging the crossbow arrows, Toki made a few brief movements with both hands, and suddenly a lot of colorful barrage light bullets suddenly appeared not far behind the heavily armed knight, forming a scale and flying towards him.
As if he really didn't notice anything unusual behind him, the Heavy Knight still re-pulled the string on his own, and at the same time as he had just finished loading, all the barrage light bombarded his back, and on his back, in addition to the protection of metal armor, he also carried a flis shield also made of steel,
Dazzling sparks flew in all directions behind the heavily armored knight, blooming in brilliant colors, and the strong impact made his body involuntarily shake forward.
However, to the stunned Toki and Zhu Henghong, the hoplite knight did not look affected at all after being bombarded by the barrage of light bullets - he hung the pulley steel crossbow with the good crossbow bolt directly on the leather buckle of the armed belt at his waist, then turned over and dismounted, pulled out a long-handled weapon like an axe and halberd from the place where the horse was carrying luggage, held it in his right hand, and slapped the horse's buttocks with his left hand to make the horse run aside, and then walked slowly towards the toki.
No one noticed that the armor and iris shield behind the heavily armed knight were covered with a faint green light curtain.
Seeing that the trick of the barrage sneak attack behind his vaunted was useless to this strange human, Toki was also anxious, and made more movements with both hands, this time not only did the barrage light bomb appear behind him, but even the colorful barrage light bullet appeared in front of him and left and right.
When the attack came from all directions, the heavy knight directly unbuckled the flis shield behind his back with his left hand, and then tightened the handle to block forward, and at the same time, the long-handled weapon in his right hand was horizontal behind him, and then rushed towards the toki.
Just as the barrage was about to hit him, the Heavy Knight suddenly burst into turquoise flames all over his body, along with his weapon shield, enveloping him in it, like a second layer of armor.
Seeing that all of her attacks were ineffective, when Toki realized that the "human" in front of her was a stubble harder than herself, the heavily armed knight who had already rushed to her side threw his fleur-de-lis shield aside and swung his long-handled weapon at her with both hands.
Then, Zhu Henghong was stunned to see that the heavily armed knight was wielding his long-handled weapon like wielding a baseball bat, and struck the crested ibis monster girl in front of him with a flat axe and flew out, just like flying a baseball
The poor crested ibis monster girl didn't have time to react before disappearing beyond the horizon of the path, and the heavy knight saw that the danger was gone, picked up his iris shield and carried it behind his back with his long-handled weapon, and then walked to Zhu Henghong's side, and pulled out the two crossbow arrows from his ears with one hand, so that he could turn his head and move freely.
"Ahem, thank you, thank you!" Zhu Henghong rubbed his ears, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no missing parts on his body, he hurriedly thanked the heavily armed knight in front of him, "My name is Zhu Henghong, and I am an outsider, thank you for saving me, is this really Gensokyo?"
"That's right, this is Gensokyo, or the way to think again. The Heavy Knight nodded, then pointed to himself, "My name is Von Longde, and I am a Teutonic Knight who has been living here for almost half a year. (To be continued......)
