375. After the break
"Just kidding......
A huge black shadow leaped out of the water, twisting its body and striking abruptly.
The group standing in the water looked up at the great ancient creature.
Although only the skeleton remains, it is still so beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
Its back was also covered with hard dragon scales, and its relatively soft belly had rotted to the point of decay.
Or maybe the White King's bloodline hollowed out its belly after hunting it, as if it were making a mummy, using only its bones.
In the bone cage composed of his ribs, dozens and hundreds of pairs of golden eyes opened at the same time, like a hunting group hidden in it, and collectively neighed, like the cry of a baby.
"Just kidding!" Fingal shouted again, pointing to the behemoth in front of him, "How can you run away with this kind of thing?"
Beside him, Caesar and the others were fully armed and charged towards the dragon with corpses.
Rewind the clock to an hour ago.
The group, who had already confirmed that they were in Takamagahara, decided to go to the "torii" together and leave from there.
But fortunately, because Takamagahara, the Night Eclipse Plain, and the present world do not exist at the same latitude, the underground waterways in this space are not so difficult to accept.
At least they don't have to swim in the sewage.
But danger is still everywhere.
Takamagahara, who returned to the upper level, was separated from the sea, but it became even more dangerous than in the sea.
The corpses in the sky and the hunting on the earth basically seal off all the areas where they can move.
Chu Zihang used Jun Flame again to blast the manhole cover above into the air.
The group finally broke through the obstacles and returned to the ground.
However, after getting rid of the limited space pipe, the number of hunting in the surrounding area has increased instead of decreasing.
Chu Zihang gasped violently and knelt on one knee.
The burden on his body caused by such a high-risk spirit as "Jun Yan" was enormous, and every time he released it, it was as if he had been emptied.
Yi Hunter instinctively sensed that Chu Zihang was the weakest of the group at the moment, and it swam against the ground, and when it was extremely close to Chu Zihang, it raised its body like a snake.
Its scaly belly scraped against the ground and made a piercing noise, and the sound of pounced on Chu Zihang was like a tiger, and its open mouth spit out dagger-like fangs.
Chu Zihang didn't have time to regain his breath, and subconsciously leaned back.
Caesar hastily did not have time to react, and threw his long knife to nail Hunt's tail to the ground.
But when the hunt was exhausted of its length, it struggled to break out, its entire gums turned out, and its sharp teeth were aimed at Chu Zihang's throat.
Both Caesar and Chu Zihang ignored one point.
It's not human, and while it looks like it's a human snake tail, its skeletal structure is completely different from that of humans, and it can swallow its entire jaw like some reptiles!
In a final moment, Fingal stepped forward, his iron-cast arm shoved straight into Hunter's throat, and then Mai jumped forward and slashed off its entire jaw from the bottom up.
"Hey, take it easy." The blade rubbed against Fingal's forearm, revealing a little spark, causing him to scream and retract his hand.
Mai Sakutoku cut his entire head into pieces two or three times: "I've been paying attention."
Su Enxi was surrounded by everyone with two guns.
Although this girl is not a combatant, she can still use guns, so Caesar simply gives her his Desert Eagle and Uzi to use.
Not for her to help, but for her to protect herself.
After all, there are too many hunters, and the bullets they carry on them are not enough.
Chu Zihang rested for a while, and then released another wave of Jun Yan.
The surroundings were emptied by them, but only temporarily.
It won't be long before a new herd is approaching again.
"It's magnificent," Caesar exclaimed softly, "like a crowd of ants crawling up the body of the Black King, and we now feel like we're dying
of the Black King."
"It's an unlucky analogy." Mai took a sip on the ground, and the spit was full of blood.
Her dark light has little effect on the existence of hunting that relies on smell, and with Su Enxi here, she is basically eating and hurting along the way.
The profession of ninja is originally a high attack and low defense, a brittle horse, even if it is cultivated out of chakra, the injury on Mai Jiude is probably the most serious among the few.
Su Enxi was by her side to take care of her.
Although she has no combat effectiveness, this girl has a good brain, and it is all up to her to command along the way, find out the weak points of the hunting group, and a few people can fight out of the encirclement in one sentence.
The same great credit is Chu Zihang, *** It's not to say, the Deadpool killed by several other people together is not as much as a fraction of Chu Zihang's death.
And Fingal's role is that of Iron T, responsible for carrying all the damage, and without him, the injuries on several people can be tripled.
Plus Caesar's scouting.
Scouting, Co-ordinating, Assassin, Output, Meat Shield.
With a wet nurse, the team will be alive.
"Now isn't the time to feel this kind of thing," Fingal is very good at spoiling the atmosphere, "first think of a way to get out, boss."
They had now retreated to the bottom of the tower, the one Caesar and Chu Zihang and Fingal had seen in the Abyss.
Now it stands on the ground, more magnificent than it was in the sea.
Nearly twice as tall as Tokyo Tower, it is cast purely in metal, and the surface is covered with ancient characters and totems, and these patterns form the shape of a dragon around the tower to the heights.
Every building in the city is as grand as this tower, like a dense group of mountains, and the iron spikes on the roofs point to the sky, so sharp that it seems to cut through the sky.
The sea is rushing through the streets and alleys of the city, and the white waves crash against the black iron walls.
The bones of the hunters went down the low tide towards the black sea, and more hunters still gathered towards the square.
These inhuman creatures have defended the city to the death, and it is impossible to know whether to lament for them or for their impending fate.
They may not have a chance to break out of this labyrinthine city, they don't know where the exit of the labyrinth is, and even if they do, they don't have the strength to fight their way out of the hunting herd.
Caesar took out a box of cigars from his bosom and distributed them to everyone, Fingal happily put it to his mouth, although Jiude Mai and Chu Zihang didn't like this kind of thing that set off the heroic spirit, but they still took it.
Caesar lit cigars for everyone, and except for Su Enxi, the other four people all spit out blue-blue cigarettes into the air, and Chu Zihang choked and coughed.
"Celebrating our final arrival in a dragon city, people outside probably don't believe we've ever arrived at a dragon city, right? It's a pity that I don't know if I have the life to go out and tell this legend." Caesar said.
"It's not counting the ancient city of the dragons, it can only be counted as the memory of the ancient city of the dragons, and from the logic of the construction of the Nibelungen, it is not a real world, just a distorted reality, like a nightmare that can swallow people into." Su Enxi said.
"What now? Can we still kill the next round?" Caesar pulled out not the knife issued by the Armament Department, which he had already chopped and discarded as a grenade.
The armament department will install explosives and triggers on the grips of all cold weapons, something that Kassel students know.
He now uses two hunting ribs, and two hunting claws are tied to his back, which are no less sharp than alchemy swords.
"Boss, aren't you the one who has a fiancée? Why are you so calm about dying?" Fingal raised his eyebrows with a humble face, and the wine on the other side, Mai and Chu Zihang, also showed a gossipy look.
Caesar smacked his lips, then threw the bone knife out of his hand: "*** turned off your recording!"
Fingal jumped on the spot in fright, but his mouth was still justifying: "Boss, you have to believe in my character, how can I do such an immoral thing."
"It's not surprising just because it's you!"
"I swear to God, I really don't have a tape recorder on me."
"Neither will a voice recorder!"
"Boss, you have to respect my professionalism!"
The two of them didn't move, they just scolded each other in the air, and it was the first time for Chu Zihang to see Caesar's state of breaking defense, so he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and then ......
"Kacha".
Chu Zihang's smile froze, and then he heard Fingal whispering there: "Get rich, get rich, the smile of the iceberg god, this one can sell for 500 dollars!"
Chu Zihang: "...... Hack him to death."
Caesar: "I agree."
Of course, these words are just words, and there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to go back this time, so it is not bad to leave something like this.
If in the future, there really are powerful dragon slayers who come here again, then maybe what they left behind can really be brought back.
"Ah, a big loss." After a while, Fingal lay down on the ground, "I'm afraid the Academy's body delivery service won't be needed."
"You still have this kind of service?" Su Enxi was curious.
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen anyone use it." Mai interjected.
"Who used that thing?" Chu Zihang asked curiously.
"No one has used it." Caesar replied.
He was right, the people of the entire academy basically died on the dragon slaying battlefield, and there was not one in ten corpses that could be found, and most of them were no longer identifiable.
"Oh, I didn't mean that," said Fingal, "I just regret that I had asked the headmaster to discount the shipping costs for me when I knew it."
Crowd: "......"
Caesar: "Fingal, worthy of you."
"This kind of guy, even if we go together, we may not be able to solve it......" Fingal sighed, "I knew I brought the little dragon girl with me."
The crowd was silent.
Everyone heard the heavy breathing, and the behemoth showed its black dorsal ridge in the black tide.
This wave of the tide was particularly turbulent because the huge East XZ approached below the tide.
Caesar and Chu Zihang and Fingal had all seen it, and it was the biggest corpse they had ever seen in the depths of the Abyss.
The Corpse Keeper King, made from the bones of a dragon, was originally part of the foundation of the city, and the White King's bloodlines built the city on its bones.
The greatest and most dangerous guardian of Takamagahara, he was breathing under the sea, white columns of water spurting out into the city well.
"Whew—"
Chu Zihang let out a breath and asked, "Caesar, do you remember the location of the torii?"
"Based on our location, it should be at the end of the west-facing Imperial Road." Caesar said.
"Hmm." Chu Zihang nodded and stood up from the ground.
"You go west, find that door, I'll buy you time, if I don't have time to catch up with you, then don't wait for me, leave immediately, go out to find Natsumi to save me......
"Smack!"
Chu Zihang felt some stinging pain on his face.
Su Enxi silently loaded the bullet, and Mai Jiude tore off a piece of the ninja suit on her body and wiped the knife in her hand.
Fingal sat on the ground, his face no longer his usual giggle, and the cold light in his eyes.
Caesar grimaced and asked, "Are you awake?"
Chu Zihang was silent.
"Do you want to stay by yourself? Do you think you're going to beat that guy alone?" Caesar scolded.
"Who do you think you are! Savior!? Do you feel strong? Or is it ...... Do you think I, Caesar Gattuso, am a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has to rely on others to survive!?"
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
」
Unworthy of what?
Not worthy of standing together to fight dragons?
Not worthy of being a teammate who lives and dies together?
Do you not deserve to die honorably but to live with pain?
Even for Su Enxi and Jiude Mai, who were not familiar with it, they felt a trace of insult.
Every dragon slayer, before stepping into the battlefield, is ready to die.
If the person who wants to break off now is a strong man like Ange or the Night's Watch, Caesar and the others must not hesitate to turn around and leave, because that is the hope of life that the strong have won for them.
Ange and the Night's Watch died, and they set out on a path of revenge in order to survive, and then carried their will on a path of revenge.
But this person is Chu Zihang.
is also weak, Chu Zihang is stronger than Caesar.
Even if he really left Chu Zihang broken, what could he do?
It is nothing more than that after Chu Zihang died, everyone faced the king of corpses again.
In the end, you still have to die.
It would be better to die together from the beginning.
At least everyone did their best to fight to the death, and even if they died in the end, it would be better than being broken by each of them.
"Listen up, surnamed Chu."
Caesar was holding Chu Zihang's collar, and the golden hole actually made it difficult for Chu Zihang's golden boy to look at directly.
"Put away your mercy, selflessness, dedication, this is the battlefield, if we give up on you, we have hope of survival, then we will definitely not hesitate to throw you down, turn around and leave, but now, you are not enough."
After speaking, he threw Chu Zihang to the ground, carried the bone knife, and walked in the direction of the King of Corpse Guards.
Immediately afterwards, Jiude Mai and Su Enxi also followed.
Fingal walked up to Chu Zihang and stretched out his hand to Chu Zihang: "You know, the boss guy has always been like this, don't take it to heart."
"I know."
Chu Zihang took Fingal's hand and stood up: "I did something wrong this time."
"What's wrong, you're kind."
Fingal smiled, "Let's go, this battle can't be without you, you're our main force."
"Hmm."
"I knew that I brought the little dragon girl."
"Hmm."
"I don't know if Elder Gu will come to save us."
"Hmm"
"Can I sell your pictures?"
"No."
「…… Why don't you play your cards according to the routine?"
