Section 158: Evacuation

The flickering firelight, the mist, and the corpses piled up on the ground made it impossible to see the whole picture, but even so, the silhouette of the humanoid standing nearly three meters tall still gave a great shock to the group.

The samurai still did not forget the painful results of the past confrontation with the oni clan, so when Henry said, "Let's evacuate like this", Narumi no longer insisted on self-sacrifice in the spirit of the samurai.

A stubborn samurai is not a fool, and in the face of an opponent who can crush a heavily armored samurai to death with a single blow, such sacrifices are not only honorable but also do not hinder them as they should.

At the point in time when the first person who wants to be rescued has been saved, the team is basically exhausted and wounded, and it is harmful to continue fighting.

"Teacher!" the huge mountain of Roshan on the ground fell together as if it was still alive, and Mira, who noticed this detail, reminded loudly, and when Henry and the others who were on guard glanced over, a large number of white organisms that seemed quite familiar like octopuses came out of it, but their movement was very slow and did not pose any real threat.

"Let's go. Torotaro stood up with the unconscious Ahui on his back, because the ground was full of fishy body fluids, his feet slipped and although he didn't fall, he seemed to pull his hamstrings, bared his teeth and limped, and his speed became much slower.

"I'll come—" "Go far!" Kaleva wanted to go over and help him, but he was yelled at by Torotaro and had to stand in place. Ahui's clothes were all dissolved, and Torotaro, who gritted his teeth, was obviously taboo for her being touched by other men.

"Tsk - it's all like this. Mira snorted, put away her knife, took off her coat, and ran over to help, and she was also a woman, and Kotaro didn't put on that aggressive attitude anymore. After wrapping Ah Hui in a haori coat, the two worked together to transport her to the top of the passage first, and only after the three of them went up did the others follow.

"Uh-huh-" The massive carapace seemed to wake up in a daze, and it let out a roar that sounded like a mixture of sounds. But the group that had already completed the rescue mission did not stop long and immediately climbed up, and the sage who was in the last place turned his head and threw down the torch that was about to burn the moment he stepped into the passage.

"Snort-" There was a burst of flames, and the stench of the stench on the ground increased the concentration of combustibles in the air due to the rupture of several ovaries and the collapse of the huge Roshan monster, and in an instant, the fire spread and even burned into the passage following the footprints of Torotaro and Mira, but fortunately, the sage stepped on them in time.

"These things, I guess they will still be alive. Aya looked down, and the fire that suddenly burned in the dim cavern was so bright that she had to squint her eyes, and the creatures that seemed to be juveniles had disappeared from them, and no one knew if they had been burned to death.

"Let's go. Kaleva pulled the stunned Miss Doctor and asked her to hurry up, but Aya glanced at it and suddenly struggled and shouted, "Wait!"

"Where's the big guy?" The flames burned down the spreading bodily fluids next to Roshan's corpse, but the huge humanoid who had been standing nearby couldn't see the black shadow.

"Run. Henry pushed the others up with one hand, and then clenched the great sword he had brought back from Mira—with the death of the Cave Master, his night vision was gradually restored, and the Sage was able to see the whole thing lying on the wall in the darkness that no one else could see.

The silhouette of a humanoid figure has six arms, and the powerful palms that spread out like a spider around the center of the back are tightly clung to the rock wall. The surface of the torso was covered with a thick carapace, and the part from the skull to the back of the neck was a wriggling mass of white flesh, and it buried itself in the protection of the carapace like a creature that was gradually sinking into the swamp under Henry's gaze.

"......" avoided the flames and climbed to the height of the wall, the monster was at a height that Henry could not reach, and the sage lifted his coat and touched the holster around his waist, but the flying knife had long been consumed, and even the dagger was damaged when he killed the Lord of the Cave - even he was helpless at the moment in the face of the object crawling on the rock wall several meters high.

For a moment and a half, the opponent seemed to be immobile, and although it was completing some kind of worrying transformation and seemed to be gaining strength a little, it was not within reach of it without ranged weapons, and it really wouldn't attack everyone at this time.

It created an eerie calm, and everything that followed depended on whether the group ran out faster or if it completed the transformation faster - Henry turned around and put away his greatsword and chased after the others.

"Hurry up. Fortunately, the second exit was not far away, and after climbing up the passage, they quickly returned to the vicinity of the rune weapon, stepping on the broken bones all over the ground. Then he picked up the last hemp rope he had unloaded and threw it into the moonlit hole.

"It's all dead. Mira looked at the beast she had slain, the remains of the bat's carcass and tentacles beside her had not been taken away, and several intact bats had stiffly curled up on the ground - it seemed that after the Cave Master had been killed, they had died together before they could return to support.

"Lulu. Henry leaned on the wall below the cavern and turned back to the smallest of the hunter maidens, who at once came to his senses and stepped on the sage's thigh and climbed on his shoulder, and finally grabbed Henry's arm and landed on the edge of the cave with the help of him thrust it upward.

"Hmm-" Like a kitten poking her head out of the bed, Lulu emerged from the tall grass, squinted her eyes and quickly adjusted to the bright moonlight in the cold and clear night air outside, she quickly picked up the grappling hook that had been thrown on the ground.

"Come on. The sage then beckoned to Mira, and the Roan Maiden followed suit, and the second followed? She and Lulu cooperated to find a tree on the surface that was strong enough to quickly secure the rope.

"Okay? Pull it and take a look!" the white-haired girl poked her head out of the weedy hole and shouted? Henry below pulled the rope: "Huh? Reliable. Then he turned his head and asked Torotaro to come over.

"It's back. "The young Chinese child's strained leg still hurts? He bared his teeth and gasped with every step he took - but despite this, he still refused to let go of Ah Hui and give it to the others, and in this race against time, everyone had no strength to deal with him. Henry used a cloth strap to tie Ahui firmly to Torotaro's back with hemp rope reinforcement so that he could keep his hands free.

The relatively thin Torotaro and the size of the entrance to the Ahui cave can be passed directly by the two of them, but the samurai children who are physically exhausted add the pain in their legs and the weight of a person on their backs, and the moment they climb up, they directly slide down and sit on the ground with their butts.

"Tsk!" Mira looked at it anxiously? She shouted downward, "Hold on to the rope, I'll pull!" The anxious Luoan girl was going to forcibly intervene to speed up the process? But even after a long time of training, she is still not strong enough? It is still very difficult to pull two people in one breath, even if there is Lulu next to them to help.

Fortunately, Henry and Kaleva helped to hold up Torotaro and Ahui below, while the samurai children trembled and clutched the rope and did not move? In the end, Mira couldn't help but curse Luo An and shouted, "You can climb quickly!" before moving her arms.

When he finally reached the cave, Torotaro lay on the ground like a dying dog, his head drooping like a dying dog, panting heavily, and letting the hay stick to his face. Mira and Lulu, who had more strength next to them, both looked better than him? The two moved him and Ah Hui aside, and then lowered the rope again.

"Keep up. "They were followed by the young master and the doctor, and since the rope could hold up Henry's pull, it was no big problem for both of them to climb at the same time. Despite Yajiro's physical exertion and Aya's non-warrior background, they climbed up at great speed. But just as Narumi and the others were about to continue to follow, a murmur suddenly sounded below.

"Let's go? Leave us alone. "The strange humanoid creature has apparently completed its transformation, and Henry said to the young people who had already climbed up? And Narumi and Lao Qiao walked directly to the original exit on the other side.

"Keep up. The samurai leader turned his head and shouted at the stunned young man who was still in a daze, and the remaining five people ran quickly through the first half of the mine that was still burning with flames.

"Ahhh——!!h

With a "ding——! of a short knife, it bounced off the rock wall and fell into the fire, but the group that had not stopped running for a moment in front of them had crossed the body of the rock tiger and ran near the entrance of the narrow spiral passage.

"Ahh——!h

"Boom-" "Pop——!" The thing that made a breaking sound hit Old Joe's head, and Henry grabbed it, and the soft and slippery touch immediately made the sage realize what it was - the tip of the miserable white parasite tentacle immediately poked out the spikes, directly into the skin of the sage's arm, and began to drill inward, but he didn't care and squeezed it hard, directly into the flesh.

"Thank you, sir. The frightened old Joe looked at the several bloody holes in Henry's arm in amazement, if it hadn't been for the sage to stop it in time, I was afraid that it would have been his head that had been pierced out of the hole now.

"You shouldn't be able to get in, so run faster. At the same time as the sage shook his palm, the trotting group quickly entered the narrow spiral passage, and even the nearly three-meter-high carapace giants in the corridor that Henry and Galeva found difficult to move in naturally had no possibility of entering.

Beep Pavilion

"Ahh

"Whew—" Henry, who was in the last place, also broke the stone door back and slammed it shut.

"Bang-" There was a bang, and the stone door with no arm bones stuck finally closed this time.

"But it should be able to climb walls. Kaleva said stunned, though he looked like a goofy goose most of the time, but he was still sensitive to a few things. The sage shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, and they continued to move on, and then found the old medicine man lying on the ground in the part of the cliff that had preceded them.

"Just dizzy. "The old pharmacist with blood on his forehead has some scratch marks on his body, judging from the size of the claw marks, it is estimated that he has been attacked by bats, and there are also shoes he dropped next to him, judging from the water marks on the ground, he just fell and lost consciousness, he is still breathing.

Fortunately, the old medicine man who was not dead spilled the medicine he had with him, and Henry, after checking the extra bottles of spirits, asked Caleva to carry the old medicine man on his back.

The sage tied several bottles of spirits together with torn strips of cloth, pulled the cork off one of the bottles, stuffed it in, and then stirred several strong-smelling powders into the other bottles.

And as if agreed, the moment he had done it, the six-armed carapace came up from the side of the rock like an ape swaying among the trees.

Keeping in hot pursuit means that it has extremely acute senses, and the sharper the senses, the more vulnerable they are in a given situation.

"Put on your scarf. Henry gave a warning, and the others immediately went into action.

"Ahh

"Click——! boom!!" the roar stopped abruptly, followed by a scream shrouded in flames and smoke with a strong pungent smell.

The six-armed giant had two hands that had to be stretched out to cover his face.

"Go quickly, Joshua will come with me. After the interference trick went up, the sage ordered the other three to retreat with the unconscious old medicine man, and then spoke to the red-haired swordsman as he drew his great sword.

"Hmm. The scream gave the swordsman the best position, and he held the sword in his hand, while the sage rushed forward with the great sword, left and right.

"Ahhhh

"Rub-" "Click——!" The greatsword severed an arm, and the knife shattered the carapace of the neck, but it got stuck in the muscles.

"Qiang-" Joshua didn't love the battle, and at the same time drew his knife, he slashed with a sharp blade to expand the results of the battle, and then leaned down to dodge further attacks - whether it was the persimmon picking a soft pinch or the attack on the neck was more threatening, the two did not know, but the carapace giant obviously ignored Henry's attack and swung his fist at Joshua, which gave the sage a chance to expand the victory, and he directly turned Kramer's sword blade and put on the posture of the iron butterfly.

"Whew-" The scorching fire and the irritating smoke interfered with the senses, and the newly born monster could not make accurate and timely judgments under the overflowing external information, and it had no brute strength but it was difficult to exert - The diagonal slash then stabbed at the shoulder joint, then twisted his wrist to match the footwork to an upward lift, and directly slashed the final blow of the other two thick arms on one side to its head, and the red-haired swordsman, as if in touch with the sage's mind, also lowered his body at the same time, and slashed the calf of the carapace almost perpendicular to the ground.

With three arms missing, it was already unbalanced on one side, and with its center of gravity broken, it was as if it had intentionally crashed into Kramer's peerless blade.

The sturdy carapace of the "Qiang ——!" was not metal after all, and the head that seemed to be perfectly defended under the power of the greatsword was beautifully cut off and flew towards the bottom of the waterfall.

"Hiss——!" And at the moment of its death, the plural parasites in the carapace behind it quickly broke away from the useless body, but the moment they came out, they were burned by the flames that still covered the surface of the body outside, and shrunk into a ball like a scorching leech.

"Knock-" The huge body that represented the last effort of the Cave Lord fell to the ground, and the body that had lost the control of the parasite quickly fell apart, but it was still unknown whether there would be a small number of escapes and then resurgence. Now that the last threat was resolved, Sage and Joshua also turned around and quickly followed the others.

"Ha-ha-"

It was just over an hour, but returning to the surface was like a world away.

The fresh air and the bright moonlight poured down as if nothing had happened. The sound of "rustling" was accompanied by the "hiss" sound of eating pain and inhaling, and he carried Hutaro on his back and walked down from the mountain with Mira, Aya, Lulu and Yajiro on his back, everyone was tired and with some scars, and the girl Luoan was relieved to see the old medicine man who had been put down:

"At least we didn't attrition. ”

So said.
