Chapter 5: Endgame

I don't know how long later, the two figures poked their heads out of the red mist, peeked into the big pit that was blown out from a distance, and saw the giant lying in the pit, both of them couldn't help but take a breath, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

It's Babu and Monica.

The two gestured a few times, and Babu tightened her grip on Anna and slid down the edge of the pit, and Monica's figure disappeared from the edge of the pit at the same time, and then the sound of footsteps and small pieces of objects began to be heard around her.

"It's sturdy." This was the only thing Babu could think of when he stood beside the giant.

This guy can still be largely intact, although his body is scorched and his body is full of damage, but at least his limbs are complete.

The ragged clothes had been completely burned, the stick hanging from his waist had melted more than half, and the position of his shoulders had not been known to be worn, but the things he was wearing after the mutation were heavily wrapped in hypertrophic muscles, and at this time, large protruding muscles were slashed off layer by layer, but the wrapped foreign body leaked out.

It was a metal plaque, golden in color overall, with a circle in the middle, with some strange patterns painted on it, surrounded by seven raised horns, forming a rare seven-pointed star. The metal plaque was supposed to be set on a leather or cloth pedestal, but now the pedestal has been melted away by the heat, and only the metal plaque remains.

The moment Babu saw the metal card, he suddenly felt an inexplicable heartbeat, instinctively feeling nervous and frightened, but also had an indescribable sense of excitement, and for unknown reasons, he had the urge to beat the other party violently.

These feelings were fleeting, but Babu had already realized it, and ripped off the metal plate from its shoulder, and then retreated sharply, making sure that it was still not moving, and that it should be dead, so he leaned over and looked at the giant's corpse as a whole.

It is indeed quite strong, and it resists an oil depot explosion at close range, and even the specially designed buildings have been blown away without a trace, and most of the giant's body still exists, and it remains relatively intact, even if the entire chin and half of the face are torn off, and half of the upper gums are exposed hideously, but the muscles in the tear are still ...... No, this thing is still regenerating, it's not dead yet.

Without even thinking about it, the dagger had already slipped out of the cuff, maximizing the source energy and plunging the dagger directly into the giant's neck. However, compared to the swollen neck, the dagger was a bit short, and it was already at the end of the cervical spine before it could be stabbed, and the giant's charred body began to shake violently, and pieces of charred skin cracked apart, revealing the steaming flesh underneath.

The wind sounded overhead, along with Monica's muffled voice: "Use this." ”

Without raising his head, Babu raised his hand and caught Monica's one-handed sword, and at the same time, the giant's eyes opened suddenly, the muscles of his arm trembled and slowly lifted, and his jawless mouth squirmed, and a roar was about to erupt.

But the longsword has arrived.

The long sword is not only strong but also very sharp, the source energy infusion pierced the giant's neck head-on, and then pierced through the back of the neck and nailed into the ground, and then a light horizontal turn, the blade cut along the bone joint of the cervical vertebrae, directly splitting the cervical vertebrae that were harder than metal into two, and then the sword body continued to cut horizontally, and finally the half-human-high head was cut off, and the round eyes rolled out far away, and the huge body finally lost power completely this time, and after a period of convulsions, it collapsed, completely motionless.

"It's dangerous."

Babu wiped a cold sweat and looked at the long sword that appeared in time, it was the one that originally belonged to the leader, and the fancy decoration on the hilt was enough to explain its identity. Babu swung his sword at Monica above, bouncing nimbly a few times and crawling back to the ground along the edge.

"It's just in time." Holding the long sword and slashing diagonally twice, Babu walked over to find that Monica's expression was a little strange, and he couldn't help asking, "What, what did you find?" ”

"Come and see."

Monica frowned hesitantly, and took Babu out of the pit, and after walking at least twenty meters, Babu smelled the aroma of roasted meat and a faint smell of blood.

When I got closer, I was finally able to see clearly.

There are several overturned scrap trucks in this area, and it seems that because of this, there are a lot of debris left behind the scrap trucks, such as a few broken torques, a dozen missing arms and thighs, and a half-half leather shield that is upside down on the ground, making the environment feel indescribably desolate.

Monica pointed to a scrap car and sighed. At this time, Babu also saw that there was a man under the scrap car.

The shiny chain mail was covered in charred black and dust, and most of the beautiful capes were charred, especially the emblem that was once regarded as a treasure was nowhere to be seen.

Take a closer look at his appearance, he should be less than thirty years old, he has not yet entered middle age, his skin is well maintained, his hair and beard are neatly trimmed, and he looks like he has a good life. But that was all before, and now he was covered in wounds, half of his face was burnt black, not to mention his beard and hair, and not even his eyebrows were left. Most of his body was crushed under a scrap car, one of his exposed legs twisted at a terrifying angle, and as for the body underneath the car, he didn't know how many bones remained intact.

But he is still alive, and his breathing is very strong, which makes people have to feel the tenacity of life, but he is seriously injured and has never woken up.

Babu looked at the leader and groaned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Monica, who was obviously still a little hesitant, and when she saw Babu looking over, she simply pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "What to do, I haven't thought about it yet, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Don't want him to die anymore?"

"I thought about it before the explosion, but after the explosion, ......," Monica sighed and shook her head, "He's the only one left who is already dead, and it's so miserable, it doesn't really matter if he dies or not." Besides, he's like this, so if I really want to make up for the knife again, it's a little hard to get started. So I'm thinking about it, just leave him here, this sword is of good quality, it should be regarded as a reward for sparing him, as for whether he can hold out until someone arrives to search and rescue, it depends on his own luck. ”

Babu didn't answer immediately, but looked at the unconscious leader from afar with his hands on his chest, and at some point, he had habitually taken out a copper coin and played with it between his fingers. Monica looked at his subconscious movements, and seemed to have understood something, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't urge, just waited thoughtfully, until the copper coin stopped on the back of Babu's hand, she snorted softly, bumped her elbow against Babu's arm, and asked in a low voice, "What bad idea did you come up with to trick people again?" ”

"We are kind and friendly marginal merchants, not those ferocious marginal locusts in your mouth, how can we do such a thing as not saving you when you die." Babu smiled and asked, "Are you interested in fishing together?" ”

"Huh?" Monica kicked the gravel on the ground with her hands behind her back, and said thoughtfully, "Fishing?" Oh, when they came just now, I vaguely heard a terrible word, no, it's two. ”

"Yes, lord, baron." Babu nodded, "Interesting name." ”

"This means that the present world he is in is likely to be a large city-level current world, and this is what you are going to fish?" Monica paced slowly in place, "His status should not be low, if he assists, it can indeed make us accept the city faster, well, we do need to rest for a while, the caravan needs to be maintained, and that Judy also needs time to deal with it properly, listen to her, it seems that her situation can only be handled by your Anna." Therefore, it is true that it can save a lot of trouble to have him to lead the way and introduce him, but this kind of person is ...... Do you think he would really be willing to help us do this for the sake of a passing rescue? ”

"Of course it will, and will take the initiative to help us." Babu flicked up the copper coin, "Why don't we make a ...... Feed. ”

"Confiscation." Monica put away her loot and playfully kicked Babu's foot, "Then it depends on your fishing skills." ”

Babu looked at the mess of abandoned cars and sighed deeply: "No matter how you fish, first ...... Pull the bait out from under the car first. ”

So, the edge of silence that had just been restored was once again tinkling and bustling, and it was not long before the crisp bell rang again in the red mist, and the familiar caravan turned around and redirected the way from which it had come. The caravan had become disgraced, not only had several large holes in the cover of the caravan, but the body seemed to have been affected by the explosion and something was wrong, and it creaked everywhere as if it had gone out with a crappy band.

The unconscious leader was woken up by these strange soundtracks, and when he opened his eyes angrily, he saw the roof he didn't recognize. The memory was gradually reawakened, and the last scene that seemed to be the end of the world seemed to have appeared in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to hold his head to dodge, but the action was too big and the broken bones were involved, and the severe pain made him can't help but let out a loud scream.

"Wake up, warrior, how do you feel?" As soon as the curtain of the caravan was lifted, a tall and thin young man jumped in from the direction of the cockpit and said with a smile, "You just won in such a fierce battle, and you are not lightly injured, don't move around yet, lie down and rest for a while."

The leader endured the pain of the fracture and stopped screaming, looking around to distract himself.

At first glance, this caravan was a merchant's means of transportation, but now there was no goods in the car, only a dozen full wooden wine barrels, which looked heavy. There was a little girl in one corner of the carriage, and I don't know what she was doing in the corner, and not far from him lay a woman, probably not lightly injured, covered in bandages, and emitting a strong smell of medicine. Neither the child nor the woman spoke, especially the woman, who was looking at him with a very strange gaze, as if she was angry, but also seemed to be a little mocking.

The boss finds that his memory is only stuck in the moment when the explosion happened, what happened next? The doubt made the leader very dissatisfied, snorted indignantly, and said to the man who had just walked in and sat next to him: "What happened, which small country merchant are you?" Where is this going? ”

"Where to go? Ah, yes, where is your town, we're getting ready to send you back. The man smiled earnestly and said, "A hero like you, the town must be very worried, and someone will be sent to find you in a moment, so we will send you back quickly, lest they run in vain." ”

"Hmph, it's good that you know, I don't need you to do much, but...... It saves me a lot of trouble. This fireworks is for you, and when you go outside and set it off, someone will naturally pick me up, and there will be nothing to do with you later. The leader pursed his lips, but suddenly remembered something, and asked in a loud voice, "What about the other people around me when you found me just now?" Don't you see? ”

The man lowered his gaze with regret and shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry." ”

The leader's expression instantly became distorted, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently, but there was no anger and sadness in his eyes, more panic and anxiety, as if he was expecting to hear different answers, he tentatively asked, "All are dead?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's all sacrificed." The man sighed and whispered, "We have put together a total of fifteen remains, and no other living people have been found except for you. Presumably they are all heroic warriors, but there is still a certain gap between you and you, you are not only heroic but also strong, so that you can win in such fierce combat effectiveness and destroy quite terrifying opponents. ”

"What are you talking about?" The panicked and anxious leader originally felt that the blood vessels in his forehead were pounding, but when he heard the man's words, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "You see the battlefield?" What do you see? ”

"I didn't see your heroic posture in battle directly, but I can imagine your bravery from the ruins of the battlefield."

The man got up and went around a box to open it, took out two items from it, and placed them in front of the leader, one was the leader's still intact long sword, wrapped in his tattered cloak, seeing that the emblem on the cloak was incomplete, the leader looked like he was about to cry out in pain, in addition to the heartache, the previous panic and anxiety were even more serious.

But when he saw another object, his eyes lit up instantly, and even his breathing became much shorter.

It was a head, the head of a giant.

The brownish-green head was quite huge, with sparse short hair on the top of the head, and the eyes on the charred face were round, and it still showed a hideous appearance. The cut in the neck is quite neat, revealing the bundles of muscles that resemble steel inside.

The man took the short hair of his head, placed it in front of the leader, and said in a rather reverent tone: "When we found you, the giant fell beside you, and you held its head in one hand and your sword in the other, and the battlefield was in shambles. We have carefully examined the battlefield and can fully deduce what happened at that time. You fought a fierce battle with the giant, although your comrades died one by one, but you were not afraid, risked your life and fought to the death with the giant, and finally fought with serious injuries, successfully cut off the giant's head, and protected the safety of the entrance to the world. ”

The man's description was full of confusion at first, but slowly not only his eyes became brighter and brighter, but also the obvious anxiety and panic disappeared, and he even had a thick smile on his face, and nodded frequently: "Really? Oh yes, that's true, yes, I remembered, I was so dizzy from the shock just now that I almost didn't remember. It seems that you still saw a little bit of the end of the battle with your own eyes, so why hide it. ”

The man bowed his head embarrassedly and said, "It's not that I didn't have time to rescue in time, so you were so seriously injured, I don't want to go." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, it's just that I'm injured now, I can't say too much out loud, and the rescuers will come in a while, so it's up to you to explain it to them." The leader's attitude became very kind, and he said with a smile, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, which city are the two caravans from?" ”

"We ......"

"The Royal City of Vera." Before Babu could speak, Monica's voice was already floating from the cockpit.

"Sure enough, it's a businessman in a big city, so I'll say that your demeanor doesn't look like you came from a small place." The leader's smile became stronger, "The big city is good, the more people in the big city are more knowledgeable, the big city is good, we ......"

"Chief Karl, Chief Karl, where are you ......" Before the words could be finished, an anxious call came from outside.
