Chapter 18: The Decisive Battle (Part II)
"Click!"
The icy road shattered, and a mouthful of dark green unknown liquid followed, and Lista dodged it sideways, but the corners of his clothes were still accidentally stained.
The corners of the clothes were corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and while Lista quickly cut off the fabric of the clothes, he also reminded loudly: "Everyone be careful, this thing is corrosive." ”
However, when his words fell, Hawke over there had already raised his knife and cut the unknown creature that had just come out of the ground in half. The creature looked like a giant flesh worm, as tall as a man, and at this moment it was cut in half, and the blood flowed all over the ground with the green unknown bodily fluids, and it looked really disgusting.
"It turned out to be just a mineral spirit, after following us for so long, I thought it was another difficult big guy to deal with, but it's a pity, harm!"
Hawke calmly shook off the blood on the big sword, but Fiona, who was on the side, sighed at this time: "Young men, cheer up, we may be in trouble." ”
As soon as he heard that there was trouble, Hawke's face immediately reappeared with joy, but before he could open his mouth to ask what the trouble was, there was a dense sound of burrowing into the ground.
Fiona: "Mineral spirits tend to live collectively and hold grudges very much. Let's go, if you get entangled, you'll be delayed again. ”
Fiona said simply, then drew her sword and took the lead. Hawke was awe-inspiring for a while, but it was a pity that Karui on the side would not let him fight here, so he once again picked him up by the waist and ran with Fiona.
"Hey, hey, what are you holding me for? I'll cut you off, can't you fight this? Well? ”
Karui didn't speak, but walked forward. And Lista was at the back of the line, and after breaking for them, he himself could hurry quickly, and even if he pulled away, he could catch up quickly.
A stone struck with a cracking sound, and Lista drew his sword and knocked it down, but then more stones came from all directions, including a lot of corrosive slime, and Lista dodged while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
But this time, the mineral spirit seems to have learned wisely, and does not give a chance to get close at all, and once he spits out the stone or slime, he will go directly into the ground.
After several times, Lista, who originally just wanted to pass quickly, also came to the fire, and directly exerted his rage, and before the mineral spirit had time to react, he killed several in a row, and the remaining mineral spirit did not dare to come back for a while, so he found an opportunity and quickly caught up with a few people.
Soon, Lista followed the three of them, and there were many corpses of mineral spirits along the way, all of which were cleanly killed, and it seemed that Fiona had done it, and if Hawke had made a move, I am afraid that the entire passage would have to be disgusting slime mixed with blood.
Hawke: "Don't hold me, Brother Karui, don't you feel shy that the two of us are protected by the two of them?" Even if I can't break it, I can do the work of opening the circuit. Hey......"
Hawke was still complaining, and Karui was probably impatient with his reading, so he couldn't help but reply: "Brother Hawke, we are all just trying to complete the task as soon as possible, and when we really need to fight, I will naturally let you go." ”
After running for a while, a light appeared at the passage in front of them, and it seemed that they had reached the end, and in order to prevent danger at the end, several people slowed down and groped their way a little bit.
It was only when they got closer that they realized that at the end of the passage was a cliff, or rather a bottomless ravine, from which the valley had been divided in half, and that there was only a chain bridge with wooden planks in between.
The wind blew through the ravine, blowing and shaking the chain bridge, which looked very dangerous. A few people approached the edge and looked down, and it was pitch black, and the bottom could not be seen at all.
Lista: "If you fall, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch the bones." ”
Karui: "Haha, Brother Lista, can you please refrain from saying such horrible things at this time?" ”
Fiona: "It may seem dangerous, but if you are careful, you won't have a problem, I haven't heard of any adventurers here in so many years, don't worry, young men." ”
Hawke: "Is it possible that the adventurer who has an accident here will not know that he has an accident here?" ”
That's a good question, after all, after the question came up, several people were silent.
Fiona: "Alright, don't worry about that, I'll look at the map given by Cos, we'll be there soon after here." Let's go, pay attention. ”
This time, Hawke took advantage of the fact that a few people were not paying attention, and took the first step onto the chain bridge, bouncing as he walked, making the already shaky chain bridge shake even more.
Hawke: "Oh, the quality of this bridge is very good, it's quite strong, don't worry, it won't fall." ”
Lista sighed helplessly and said, "If you continue to jump like this, we don't dare to worry." ”
Although they were still a little worried in their hearts, a few people still got on the bridge, this road was not short, and with such an unstable factor as Hawke, the remaining three people did not dare to take it lightly, and walked carefully all the way.
When they reached the middle, the voice of the goblin suddenly came from the passage opposite, and then in the shocked eyes of several people, several people and the goblins who had just walked out of the passage looked at each other and looked at each other.
Perhaps the goblins didn't expect to meet them here, and they really didn't want to meet the goblins in this situation. After being stunned for a moment, Lista was the first to react, and the thunder was furious, directly past the few people in front of him and rushed up.
When the goblin at the head saw him rushing towards him, he also reacted, and immediately babbled loudly to remind the goblins in the passage behind him. However, before the sound could come out, Lista had already appeared in front of it, and the long sword directly cut off his head.
Seeing this, the other goblins were not afraid, but they were all angry, and launched an attack on them with their teeth and claws, and in the narrow passage, there were actually a lot of goblins, and after a few entangled Lista, the others rushed onto the chain bridge and launched an attack on the others.
Hawke on the bridge saw the rushing goblin, laughed and pulled out his greatsword and rushed forward, but because of his huge movement, the chain bridge shook violently, and Fiona was okay and quickly stabilized her figure.
But the huge Karui was not so lucky, and as soon as he lost his center of gravity, he fell directly off the bridge. Fortunately, he was quick and grabbed the chain, so he didn't fall directly into the abyss.
Fiona hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, but at this time, there were stones around her, and the miners who had been beaten and hid by them just now saw that they were in danger, and they actually appeared in time to fall into the ground.
If she continues to rescue her, Fiona herself may be knocked off the chain bridge.
Seeing this, Karui hurriedly spoke: "Fiona, don't worry about me, I can still hold on, you solve the current danger first." ”
Helplessly, Fiona could only put down Karui for the time being, turned around to block the attacking miners, she quickly ran from the bridge, but unlike Hawke, she was light and did not cause much shock, but was almost shaken off the bridge by Hawk several times on the way.
After crossing the bridge, her eyes were cold, and the cold light of the long sword in her hand appeared, and the corpse of the mineral spirit fell with it, and she raised her shield to intercept the rubble that shot from the mineral spirit's mouth towards Lista.
The terrain was narrow, and several of them were unable to use it, so much so that even in the face of these goblins and mineral spirits, they almost encountered danger several times.
Fiona, who had been paying attention to the situation on the bridge, couldn't help but shout at Hawke, "Hawke, you move smaller, let Karui come up first." ”
However, Hawke, who was in the middle of the battle, didn't hear what she was saying at all.
Hawke: "What? Move faster? Got it, settle the battle soon! ”
Now Hawke was even more ferocious, and he took pity on Karui who was hanging on the bridge, and could only hold on to the chain with both hands, and his huge body shook in the wind with the shaking of the chain bridge.
Eventually, all the goblins were dealt with by Hawk and Lista, and the goblins saw that the situation was not good, and they retreated back into the ground one after another, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Fiona quickly turned around and ran to the bridge to pull Karui up. Hanging and shaking for so long, even if the giant's body was strong, it was still a little unbearable at this time, and after standing firmly, the first thing Karui did was to lie on the chain bridge and vomit.
Hawke breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction, and said happily with the big sword: "Finally, I had a good fight, and I feel comfortable all over." Did you see it just now, I can control it not to fall, and I can still hit a dozen of them one by one, that's called a thrill. ”
Fiona gave him a blank look, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Yes, Hawke is so brave, not only did he fight a dozen of them, but he almost killed me and Karui, it's so powerful." ”
Hearing the banter in her words, Hawke scratched his head in embarrassment and whispered, "Isn't that also to protect you, and didn't you make me move faster?" ”
Fiona: "I told you to move smaller, pay attention to Karui hanging from the bridge, how did you hear that I told you to move faster?" ”
Hawke: "Haha, I heard it wrong. ”
Seeing that Fiona seemed to be really angry, Lista hurriedly walked over and said, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel at this time, I just saw the goblin who took the lead seems to want to inform something, it is estimated that it is really our destination in the back, if it's okay, let's hurry up and complete the task first." ”
Hearing the mission, Fiona suppressed some of her anger and turned back to Kalou, "Kalu, are you okay?" Or you wait for us here, and we'll go check it out and come back. ”
Karui shook his head, stood up with his body propped up, and said with a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not much of a problem, it's just that I'm dizzy, let's go." ”
Lista asked worriedly, "Is it really okay?" Brother Kalu, if you're not feeling well, it's okay for you to wait for us here. ”
"It's fine!"
Karui patted his chest and smiled back.
