The Godsfall Chronicles

Chapter 41: Facing life and death

Views:

Yunying was gradually shrouded in a terrible thought that lingered like a nightmare.

Could it be that the Giant Rat has been observing the mercenaries in the past few days, and now they have set up a trap specially for the mercenaries' behavior, in order to catch all the mercenaries in one go

impossible!

Must have thought too much!

This is too scary, too bizarre, too grotesque, too unacceptable.

Yunying saw the mole hairs and looked at the surrounding terrain, but his face became paler and paler, and he couldn't help thinking: These beasts can set up such a trap, unless their intelligence is close to the human level!

Giant rats are just low-level mutant creatures. Whether it is modern or old times, such creatures are often at the bottom of the biological chain. It is hard for Yunying to imagine that if a mouse can do such a thing, the world must be crazy!

Cunning fox's uncertain face showed that his thoughts coincided with Yunying's, but after all, Cunning Fox was rich in experience, and had experienced all kinds of storms and waves, so he didn't hesitate for half a second, and immediately shouted aloud.

"Quick retreat!"

When everyone woke up like a dream, there was a noisy sound from the mouth of the canyon, mixed with one or two gunshots and screams. Something happened to the brothers who were standing guard outside!

Mad Dog immediately ordered: "Cook, Ula, go and see!"

Ula was the fastest in the mercenary group, with six legs moving at high speed, rushing out like a whirlwind, eight wilderness cavalry drove Sasquatch to follow, and other mercenaries rushed towards the mouth of the canyon on foot.

Yunying felt more and more unsure in his heart.

There must be something big going on this time!

In a few minutes, Ula came back again. There were many wounds on his body. Eight wilderness knights became six. Cook was also carrying a wounded man. Fatal damage to a carotid artery.

"Hurry up and save people!"

A few mercenaries were in a hurry to help, but the main artery of the wounded was torn, and the blood couldn't be stopped at all, gushing out like a fountain. He opened his eyes very reluctantly, stretched out his bloody hand, and was very powerless to grab his companions around him. I tried my best to say: "The outside is surrounded, I can't do it anymore, leave me alone, go, go..."

There was a strange squeaking sound like a sea like a tide, it was the scream of giant rats, countless giant rats!

Everyone feels that someone has poured cold water on them, and the last hope in their hearts has been extinguished!

"What's going on here?" The mad dog roared angrily and rushed over to grab Cook: "Others, where are the others?"

Cook shook his head bitterly.

Mad Dog didn't even have time to furiously deliver, and the worst happened.

A large number of giant rats emerged from the canyon, spreading like a wave of water, and some came in from cracks in the rock wall or burrows to outflank the left, right and rear. Judging from the scale, there were at least five or six hundred of them!

This is about to form a beast tide!

Even if the mercenaries are very strong, how can they deal with giant rats of this size and number

The mercenary was about to retreat without even thinking about it, and the cunning fox was about to pick up his seriously injured companion on the ground, but when he looked down, he found that this person had died at some point.

Countless giant rats surged up like a wave.

"Forget it!"

"Walk!"

Twenty or so mercenaries began to retreat crazily.

During Yunying's retreat, he clearly saw the mercenary lying on the ground dragged into the group of rats by the ferocious giant rats, like a fragile paper doll, fell into the hands of a group of crazy children, and soon spread in all directions Fragmented in the scramble.

Yunying stayed in the Black Flag camp for a month and a half.

Every mercenary in the Huangquan Mercenary Corps knows and is very familiar with it.

This guy who usually liked to play tricks on him died and was torn apart right in front of his eyes. In this mercenary team.

A companion dies in front of his eyes but can't do anything.

It's such a sad and helpless feeling.

Hold the cold, pitch-black triangular steel pipe tightly!

Yunying's eyes were gradually filled with bloodshot eyes. At this time, a giant rat bigger than a wild dog rushed towards him. This mutated giant rat has razor-sharp claws and teeth, which are very lethal. On the ground, the consequences are disastrous.

A steel pipe volley knocked up.

The giant rat fell to the ground with a bloody head.

However, this kind of beast is extremely ferocious. Although it was severely injured, it was not enough to repel it. Instead, it launched an attack even more crazily and bloodthirsty. This time, there were two giant rats around, as agile as a leopard and as fierce as a wolf. siege.

Yunying slashed left and right with the steel pipe and managed to repel two of them. The other sneaked up and fell on Yunying's back. It hooked the leather armor with its barb-like claws, causing a huge wound on its back.

The triangular steel pipe rotates once.

Hold it with your backhand and stab it hard in the back!

Several blood holes were poked out of the giant rat's body, but it still refused to let go. It even tried to pounce on Yunying's neck. At this critical juncture, Ula rushed over with all six limbs. He threw the giant rat to the ground, and crushed the giant rat's head with his bloody mouth.

"Wula, go!" Yunying stabbed to death a giant rat that was trying to sneak attack Wula, and the foul and ugly blood sprayed out on his face. Before he could wipe it off, more giant rats surrounded him from all directions.

bang bang bang!

Three shots!

The cunning fox turned around and shot three times.

The three giant rats fell down, and Yunying and Wula quickly followed up.

"Rookies, don't mess up, don't mess up! Follow closely!" The cunning fox shot again from a long distance, killing several dangerous acid rats hiding in the rat swarm, "Cook went to find the way, find someone who can hide place!"

The mad dog wielded two sharp machetes like a windmill, and opened the way ahead like a meat grinder. No matter how fierce the giant rats attacked, they were all chopped into a pile of rotten meat on the ground by the mad dog like chopping melons and vegetables.

Several wild knights rode Sasquatch to break through first.

Cook turned around in the canyon and was lucky enough to find a cave.

"There's a cave!"

"Get into the cave!"

The mercenaries fought all the way to the cave.

The space of this cave can just accommodate the mercenaries to hide. If the cave is used for defense, the probability of survival will be much greater!

The mercenaries were about to enter the cave, and four or five particularly strong giant rats rushed out. A small group of these damn beasts had already ambushed inside, but this amount did not pose a threat to the mercenaries.

Like a beast, the mad dog smashed all the approaching giant rats to pieces. When the mad dog knocked over the last giant rat, another one jumped out from the darkness, and the mad dog swung a knife to chop it like a conditioned reflex.

The cunning fox saw the giant rat from a distance, its eyes widened, and it roared loudly: "Explosive rat! Moment!"

This mouse is smaller than ordinary giant mice, and its fur is all fiery red. Under normal light, it must be very bright and eye-catching. Like the acid mouse, it is a special mutant mouse. It is not too big, but it actually contains a strong explosive. If there is an explosion, not only the mad dog and the surrounding mercenaries will be doomed, but this cave will It was blown up.

There is no shelter in the cave.

Mercenaries must die!

The endless tide of rats will devour everything!

It's over, it's over, it's too late!

At this critical moment, an extremely agile black figure sprang out. He leaped up with astonishing speed and jumping power, and bit the exploding rat in the air with his mouth. The moment his six legs hit the ground, they operated at high speed like a motor, and rushed out of the cave in an instant.

Yunying shouted: "Dangerous! Come back!"

Ula swung her huge head and threw the explosive mouse. The fiery red fur mouse had just been thrown less than two meters away. There was a sudden bang, like thunder on the ground, and a large amount of fire and light were released, like the power of a grenade explosion. Make a small hole.

Ula was blown out, lying on the ground, six convulsions, but failed to get up, he was obviously seriously injured, several giant rats immediately came to surround him, Ula was bitten, struggled and howled but could not resist.

"Ula!" Yun Ying's eyes were completely filled with blood red.

Cook hurriedly wanted to grab him: "Don't be impulsive!"

Yunying was so strong that Cook couldn't hold him back. Yunying rushed out hysterically like a lunatic, and the steel pipe swept away the giant rat that would attack Ula four or five times. He was wounded by the giant rat's sharp claws, causing several huge wounds. Several giant rats have surrounded him and Ula together.

The cunning fox's two-handed pistol flames continued to bloom, and the surrounding giant rats fell to the ground one by one, but soon more giant rats surrounded them, those with guns used guns, and those with bows used bows, under the heavy cover of mercenaries. Yunying finally dragged Wula back despite her wounds.

The cunning fox yelled at Yunying angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you want to die!"

Yunying stared at him and argued, "I must save Wula!"

Even if Cunning Fox and Yun Ying looked at each other for a moment, he was shocked by the other party's eyes, but soon recovered: "Mad dog, you block the entrance of the cave, others come and help!"

Everyone rushed to carry Ula in to check the injury.

Everyone's heart sank.

It hurts too much!

Ula's head was seriously damaged by the bombing, half of her face was gone, she could even see her skull, one of her eyes was shattered, her two legs were broken, and she was struggling to breathe.

Ula was raised by the mercenary group from childhood to adulthood.

Because he is a highly mutant, his behavior is no different from that of wild animals, but although he is usually regarded as a bulldog to guard the house, he is indeed an inseparable part of this group.

That's right.

Ula is highly mutated, ugly, ferocious and brutal, and feeds on human flesh. But when he is in danger, Ula disregards his own safety. It is precisely because of him that he stands up and gives the mercenaries a chance of survival.

He is a beast but stronger than most people in this era!

Yunying didn't know how to help Wula: "You must hold on, the medicine is here, bring the medicine! Wula needs treatment!"

The mercenaries sighed silently, and all retreated to the side.

Ula opened one eye and let out a few low moans.

At this time, the cunning fox walked to Yunying's side, pulled out a dagger and handed it to him.

Yunying looked at Wula in disbelief and then at Qiaohu: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"

"Ula is in great pain now." The chubby fox's face was full of grief, "He regards you as a friend, so he chose to let you see him off for the last time."

Give him a ride

Yun Ying took the dagger in a daze, and he looked at the weak Ula, who looked at him with one eye open, showing pain and reluctance in his eyes.

"Ula wants to live, but he can't live anymore. Nowhere in the wilderness can heal such a serious injury. Besides, even if a miracle happens, he will face permanent disability. You know what this means!" the cunning fox said solemnly. Said to Yunying: "You are a soldier, don't let down the trust of your comrades, this is Wula's last wish, don't let him look down on you!"

Ulla is beyond help.

Yunying knew it but couldn't accept it.

Now the strong vitality of mutants has turned into a curse that prolongs the pain, and relieving the pain is the last thing a companion can do.

But Wula saved his life!

How did Yunying do it

The low voice of the cunning fox sounded: "You grew up in the wilderness, so you should face life and death calmly. This is a necessary experience and test for everyone in the wilderness. In this age where right and wrong are reversed, being alive is not necessarily lucky, and death may not be liberation. , can you understand me? Stop wasting time, Ulla is in pain now!"

Yunying was silent for a few seconds, complex and intense inner struggles and struggles, all of which took place during this time.

He didn't know right or wrong, but had to make a choice.

Yunying still raised the dagger slowly, and whispered in his mouth:

"Ula, farewell. In the next life, don't be in the wilderness again."

Ula At the last moment, he opened his eyes again and glanced at the familiar person, his eyes were full of gratitude and satisfaction.
