Chapter 52: Battle
"Ran Xiang Tho hid behind the first row of stone walls by the pontoon. I was right behind her.
"She turned back to me and said, 'From here you walk slowly along the diamond pattern on the ground to the hole we just came out of, and stay there. I'm going to lead someone to rush across the pontoon bridge to duel the enemy on the opposite side, and when I come back, this front row of stone henges will be the battlefield, and our warriors will use the maze to destroy the last enemy, you are not safe here. ’
"I looked down at the ground and saw that there were various geometric patterns on the ground, and on the zigzag passages of the stone walls, there was a pattern arranged in each direction, extending along the passageway, and only one passage in the middle was a row of diamond-shaped patterns.
"I know that this diamond pattern is the identifier to get out of the maze.
"I thought to myself, I am afraid that I will never encounter such a battle scene in my life, so why not rush across the pontoon bridge with them today and experience this fierce scene for myself.
"I said to Ran Tho, 'Let me rush with you. ’
"Ran Xiang Tho looked at me with wide eyes and said, 'This must not be done in the slightest, your safety must not be sloppy in the slightest. ’
"I said, 'You can think of me as an ordinary soldier of yours, and it would be great if I could help you kill one or two enemies, and if I were to be killed, it would be in vain for this man's blood. ’
"Ran Tho was still looking at me hesitantly, not knowing how to convince me.
"I added: 'Don't worry, I have received the guidance of a master on Shouyang Mountain, and I am also a person with some skills, as long as I can find a weapon for me, I will definitely not hold you back. ’
"Ran Sheng Tho had no choice but to hand me the weapon that glowed blue in his hand and said, 'You have my cold mallet. ’
"I asked, 'What about you?'
"He said, 'I use the sword I carry with me. ’
As she spoke, she pulled out a one-foot-long silver short knife from her waist, the short knife was as wide as the palm of her hand, with blades on both sides, the blade was arc-shaped, and there was a neat gap in the middle of the blade, dividing the blade into two, like two long kitchen knives inserted back to back on the handle of the knife. The gap between the knives crackled with blue sparks, like the wires of the people in the city touching fire.
Ransang Tho raised his firesuit knife and swung it forward, and hundreds of droughts flashed from behind the stone wall behind us, all approaching where we were hiding.
Before all the people who were coming closer to her had arrived, she hunched over the stone wall and walked towards the pontoon, followed by me, followed by the Drought warriors.
"The blue light from the Dryfish and their weapons was barely visible in the light of the fires on the other side.
"As Ran Xiang led me and the Drought Warriors along the pontoon to a distance of a few dozen paces from the opposite bank, she shouted, 'Kill!'
"The drought warriors flocked like a blue tide to the burning village.
"The group of bird-shaped monsters was scattering at this time, searching everywhere for the Drought Devils, and it was conceivable that the village should be empty except for the houses.
The Dryfish warriors rushed forward and took the monsters by surprise.
Everywhere a cold mallet glowing blue went, the monster's heads fell to the ground. Shouts rang out in the sky.
"I followed Ran Xiang Tho, rushed all the way, and gradually occupied most of the village.
"This is the first time in my life that I have killed an enemy with a weapon.
"When we forced the group of monsters into a corner of the village, the leader of the monster and the man with the inverted triangle face began to lead the bird-shaped monster to resist.
"The monsters were like crazy, armed with black steel knives, and they were coming straight at us.
"One by one, the warriors of the Drought Tribes were slaughtered to the ground.
"Seeing that the situation was not good, Ran Xiang Tho said, 'Withdraw!'
When the droughts heard the order, they all turned and rushed towards the pontoon.
"I ran to the head of the bridge with Ransheng Tho, got on the bridge, and ran all the way to the mouth of the boulder maze.
"Ran Tho went into the labyrinth and said, 'Disperse. ’
The Roughlands warriors disappeared into the middle of the labyrinth.
"Ran Tho and I also hid in a hidden corner of the labyrinth.
"I heard a large group of people crossing the bridge from afar, and then I heard them enter the stone labyrinth.
After a moment of silence, screams came from the labyrinth.
"Ran Tho whispered, 'This time I'm going to let none of them want to run out.' ’
As I spoke, I heard hurried footsteps behind the boulder where we were hiding.
"Ran Tho said softly: 'Attention. ’
Before he finished speaking, he saw a figure flash from the boulder in front of him.
"It's too late, it's too fast, Ran Xiang Tho stepped up with an arrow, raised his knife and fell, and before the other party could shout, a sharp head fell to the ground.
"He rubbed the blood from the knife of the firecoat with the soil of the ground, and said, 'We will transfer.' ’
I followed her around two corners along the diamond-patterned passage and hid in another dark corner.
"There, we killed another bird-like monster.
"After we shifted positions five or six times, the screams in the maze became thin.
"Ran Sheng Tho stood up and shouted: 'Everyone show up to destroy the enemy, don't let one go.' ’
The Drought Warriors suddenly shouted.
In a few moments, the remaining remnants of the enemy were driven into the clearing between the entrance to the labyrinth and the pontoon.
"All the enemy is the tall bird-shaped monster and the inverted triangle-faced man, and seven or eight small bird-shaped monsters behind him.
"Ran Xiang pointed his knife at the other party and shouted: 'My Dry Fish tribe has lived in harmony with all the tribes for thousands of years, and has helped each other with neighboring groups, without a trace of bullying. You and other Huandou people have never had a grudge against our clan, why do you want to invade this time?"
"The bird-shaped monster at the head said: 'I don't want to be the enemy of your Drought Clan, but you and I are both secret races, and we should be of one heart and one mind with other secret races to deal with the people of the Manifest World, but you and the Manifest World Clan are in collusion to oppress other Secret Clans, and completely forget the tragic history of our coexistence in the Secret World. Today we are here to punish traitors for the secret world and eliminate the harm of the secret world. ’
After hearing this, Ran Shang Tho laughed and said: 'Man is originally a divine vein, and the gods are originally of the same root and origin, so why should they be separated from the secret world to manifest themselves. Moreover, the secret manifestation is the common will of the ancient gods, do you want to go against the will of the gods?'
The bird-shaped monster at the head was speechless for a while.
"The man with the inverted triangular face next to him spoke up: 'You have been working for the descendants of Nuwa for thousands of years now, and we don't care about any of this. It's just that the head of King Chiyou is the remains of the ancestors of my Xi royal family, and your clan was bewitched by Nuwa and hid it privately, so that my clan could not worship the ancestral spirits, and it became a hateful thing for my clan for thousands of years. As long as your clan hands over the head of King Chiyou, I promise that today's incident will not happen again. ’
Ran Sheng Tho laughed again, laughing and saying, "I don't need you to promise, I will let you have no return today, and no one will provoke such a thing today." ’
With a wave of the knife in his hand, the Drought Warriors rushed out of the labyrinth and headed straight for the monsters.
Seeing this, the remaining little bird-shaped monsters all ran in front of the head monster and the man with the inverted triangle face, trying to protect the two of them.
"The Drought Man warriors went up and wiped out those monsters with three strikes and five divisions.
Seeing this, the leading monster grabbed the man with the inverted triangle face on his back, stretched out his two large wings, and jumped down the cliff.
The two of them glided for a while in the canyon under the cliff, and suddenly the two wings of the monster were twisted together, and they both fell into the abyss. ”
