Chapter Seventy-Eight: Temptation
The shark dragon that jumped over the wall in a hurry had fallen into madness at this time, and in order to survive, it burst out into an unprecedented frenzy, only to see it desperately slapping the water and rushing towards the fishing boat of the earl and others. Count Culler was a pampered man, and although he had a strong sense of curiosity, he had few chances to face danger, and when he saw the water monster rushing madly, the Count turned pale with fright, and was so nervous that he couldn't even move.
Behind the shark dragon, only to hear a "plop" splash, Sawen also jumped into the water and continued to chase the shark dragon, in a hurry, Sawen also burst out of great potential, swimming at a speed no less than the shark dragon, everyone was surprised to see that Sawen could swim so fast.
The two fishing boats were not far away, but in the blink of an eye, the mermaid dragon had already reached the side of the earl and the others, and the mermaid jumped up from the water with a large amount of splash and pounced on the people on the boat. At this moment of crisis, I suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and a sharp arrow pierced the sky and shot at the shark dragon, the shark dragon could not dodge in the air, and the sharp arrow of "poof" sank into the shark dragon's chest. Someone glanced at it and saw that the person who shot the arrow was none other than the female elf Exewin.
She reacted when the mermaid lunged towards the fishing boat, and the elves' archery skills were unparalleled in the world, from taking off the bow on her back to setting up the bow and releasing the arrows, the whole process was completed in an instant, and it was the weakest belly of the mermaid dragon's defense. This arrow was shot in an unusually timely manner, and if it was half a minute late, I am afraid that the shark dragon would have pounced on the fishing boat. Seeing that the shark dragon was about to fall into the water, it suddenly stretched out its two front paws and firmly grasped the side of the boat, and the fishing boat, which was not very big, was immediately pressed by it and tilted seriously.
Exewin's arrows were not fatal enough to hit the mermaid, and the pain made it even more frantic as it grabbed the side of the boat with its front paws, and then desperately climbed towards the fishing boat. The strength of the sea creatures is far beyond people's imagination, and within two or three clicks, half of the body of the shark dragon has climbed onto the fishing boat, opening its bloody mouth and biting the crowd. A soldier couldn't dodge and was grabbed by it, and with a "click" the soldier's calf was bitten off by it, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a stream.
The Earl and his soldiers had little experience in combat, and they were overwhelmed with fright when they saw such a terrifying scene, and at the critical time, a few mercenaries such as Hortz reacted quickly, and they pulled out their weapons and slashed at the dragon. The mermaid didn't know how to be afraid, and shook its head with its big mouth open, and the swords of the people only caused some minor damage to its scale armor, but several people were knocked over and fell into the water because the fishing boat was too narrow to dodge.
Some people saw that the water monster was so fierce that they were so frightened that they hid on the other side of the boat, and the small fishing boat became swaying because of the swoop of the shark dragon and the running of people, and although Hortz and others had rich combat experience, it was difficult to maintain their balance in this situation, and they often slashed over without knowing where they fell. The shark dragon attacked everyone while desperately climbing up, and everyone became even more panicked when they saw that the shark dragon was about to climb onto the fishing boat, and Hortz and the others had empty skills but could not play a role.
The dragon suddenly jumped upward, a big mouth had reached the earl's face, it was about to bite down on the earl's neck, the count was so frightened that his eyes showed a look of despair, the others watched the earl fall into danger but had no time to rescue, some of the timid ones had even closed their eyes. Just when the Earl and the people around him thought that he was dead, they saw the shark dragon retreat violently, and the back half of his body slid into the water.
It turned out that when the shark dragon was about to attack the earl, Sawin had already rushed behind it, and Sawin didn't have time to climb the fishing boat, so he grabbed the shark dragon's tail and pulled it down violently, immediately pulling the second half of the shark dragon's body down. The mermaid instinctively nailed the ship deck with its two front paws, and struggled to resist the drag of Savin behind him, who was not able to exert his strength in the water for a while, so he could only hold the mermaid firmly, and the two sides became a stalemate.
Everyone on the ship was stunned at this time, and they all stared at this terrifying scene with wide eyes, but it was Hots and the female elf who reacted first, and the two of them raised their bows and arrows and raised their iron swords in their hands, and almost at the same time beckoned towards the head of the shark dragon. The sharp arrow whizzed through one of the dragon's eyes, and the iron sword that followed Hortz also pierced through the top of the dragon's head from top to bottom, and a large amount of blood poured out, and in a moment it filled the deck.
Savin, who was wrestling with the shark dragon, suddenly found that the other party was no longer moving, as if he had been suddenly emptied, Sawin was shocked and didn't know what was happening, and then he heard Hortz's voice overhead: "It's dead, come up!"
"What?" Savan was so anxious when he heard that he was killed before he could interrogate it?
Sawin climbed onto the deck with his hands and feet, and when he looked down, he saw that the mermaid was indeed dead, and Sawin felt as if he had punched him empty. Hortz walked over and patted Sawin on the shoulder, and said with a little excitement: "You did a good job, if it weren't for your earl, you would be in danger!" Sawin didn't come back to his senses for a while, and his eyes were still staring at the dead shark dragon.
That night, the news of the dragon's death spread throughout the nearby villages, and people rushed to see the dragon's body, and many people danced around it, which showed how happy everyone was, and now they no longer had to worry about their livelihood and lives. The Count was naturally very pleased, and ordered a bonfire to be lit, and a celebratory feast began by the lake.
Just when everyone was laughing and singing, Sawin was a little sullen, for him to kill the two shark dragons is really nothing to celebrate, the most critical question he has not been able to understand, how these shark dragons appeared here, is there something happening in the sea, but unfortunately the answers to these questions are all died with the shark dragon, which makes Sawin feel very unwilling.
The next day, Savin and Eliza dived underwater again, and after a full day of careful inspection, they did not find any other trace of the shark dragon, and it was certain that the lake was safe. Count Culler finally relented, said goodbye to the local fishermen, and led the group on the journey back to Pegasus Castle. This time, the Count did not ride his Pegasus, but rode with the group, and the Count and Hotts had a great time chatting along the way, while the elf Exsewin rode back to Pegasus Castle alone.
When everyone returned to Pegasus Castle, it was already the afternoon of the third day, and Axeven, who had returned early, had already arranged a grand feast for the castle's butler according to the Earl's instructions, and everyone naturally ate and drank heavily. When the feast was gone, Eliza, who had been tired for a few days, was so tired that she went to her room early to go to bed. Sawan wandered to one of the castle's terraces, leaning on the walls and looking into the distance.
The dark night sky was full of stars, as if countless gods were looking down on the world from the sky, and Sawin had heard O'Hiris say that human scholars could gain insight into everything in the world by observing the starry sky......
"What are you doing?" a soft, but somewhat cold voice sounded behind him.
Sawin looked back and saw that it was a female elf who had always been a little indifferent. Sawan replied calmly, "It's nothing, I'm just out to breathe." ”
Exewin walked towards Swain with graceful steps, and only stopped when he was less than a meter away from Savein, and Swain wondered what this female elf wanted to do, and I didn't remember that she had taken the initiative to talk to anyone...... The female elf's body exuded a faint fragrance, like an orchid in the hollow valley, and a word suddenly surged in Sawan's heart: ethereal. Before, Savin had not understood the meaning of the word, but now he suddenly understood through Exewin, it turned out that this feeling of being close to the eyes and yet like the sky was ethereal.
Exewin looked Sahain up and down with bright eyes, and for some reason Savin felt a little hairy in his heart, he had never felt this way before. So Savin also glared at his own eyes, and looked at Exewin intently, and for a long time neither of them spoke, only the whirring night wind in his ears.
Suddenly, Exsewin lowered his voice and said, "You're not human, are you?"
Hearing Exeven's words, Savin's heart was instinctively startled, and the muscles on his face immediately tensed. This is also the reason why Sawin is not deeply involved in the world, as soon as he heard that someone suddenly told his secret, the nervousness in his heart immediately reflected on his face, Exewin saw Sawin's nervous appearance, and immediately understood that his suspicions were right, this young man was really not an ordinary human.
"You don't want to ...... Just kidding......" Samin tried to argue, and at the same time deliberately squeezed out a little smile, but he himself didn't know that his laughter was worse than crying.
Exewin showed a rare smile and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, as long as you tell me where you came from." ”
Savin's heart calmed down a little when she heard her say this, it turned out that the other party hadn't guessed his true identity yet, in that case, I would not admit it to death, and see what you could do. Sawan strained his neck and said, "Who said I wasn't human, you don't think I'm like a human, I don't think you're human......"
Exewin saw that Sawin had played a child's scoundrel, so he didn't continue to ask, and changed the subject: "I think you have good skills, would you like to try it with me?"
Originally, Sawin didn't intend to provoke her, but she was a little anxious by the other party just now, so she said casually without moving her brain: "Okay, who's afraid of whom!"
