Volume 7 Server Merge Chapter 7 How the Cow Died
The village that suddenly appeared attracted our attention: Niu Baiwan and I looked at each other and immediately ran towards the village - in this flat grassland, no matter how hard we ran, we could not get rid of the pursuers behind us. If we escaped into the village, with the help of the complex terrain, we might be able to find a way to escape.
After climbing over the wall, we immediately turned left and right, taking the most rugged paths and groping our way deeper into the village. After turning three or four corners, we could no longer see any trace of our pursuers. Only the occasional messy footsteps behind us proved that our enemies were still following closely. After running around a few more corners, the footsteps behind us became smaller and smaller, and also clearer and clearer. It sounded as if the enemy had divided their forces to chase us, so that only one person was following us.
We crossed a front street and ran behind a collapsed wall. My eyes lit up and I found a warehouse in front of me. There were a lot of wood scattered in a mess inside. The pile was quite high. As long as I crouched down, I could hide completely. If the pursuers didn't crawl into the warehouse, it would be difficult to find the people hiding inside. I jumped into the pile of wood, and in a blink of an eye, I found Niu Baiwan standing under the eaves of the wall, staring at the gap in the wall in front of him, holding up his obsidian pillar high.
"Niu Baiwan, what are you doing?" I asked in a low voice.
"Shh... There seems to be only one person behind me. As soon as he shows his head, I will give him a hard blow. Roar, roar, roar, roar..." The Minotaur Paladin smiled cunningly.
This is not the first time he has done this. In previous adventures, he often lay in ambush, waiting for us to lure difficult beasts to him, and then launched a surprise attack. I have to say that our tauren friend is a bit of a waste of talent to be a paladin. With his always obscene character and cunning mind, it is more appropriate for him to be a wanderer and do the work of hitting people in the back with clubs.
However, this idiot forgot one very important thing.
"Don't..." I was shocked and tried to stop him in a hoarse voice.
"Keep your voice down!" He waved his hands at me, signaling me to keep quiet.
"Run!" I pointed twice at the road leading to the back door of the warehouse, signaling him to leave quickly.
Niu Baiwan looked at that place in astonishment, then stretched his ears and listened for a long time, then turned his head and shrugged at me, as if to tell me: There are no pursuers there, I heard it wrong.
I slapped my forehead in annoyance and pointed desperately at the top of my head, signaling him to look up.
The stupid cow had completely lost its original cunning character at this time, and looked foolishly at the top of the warehouse. Of course, he saw nothing.
I was very angry and raised my sword to my neck, waving it back and forth to indicate to him that danger was approaching.
He actually bumped his big head against the stone pillar twice and then made a fainting face.
God, this is a matter of life and death, who the hell wants to joke with you! I really want to kick him in the ass.
But it seems that I don't have this opportunity.
"Big stupid bull, run away, they can see your name..." At this time, Changgong Sheri suddenly stuck his head out of a large water tank in the corner and shouted. Huh? Strange, hasn't he been following us all the time? When did he run in front of me and hide here? I didn't even see him.
As soon as the words of Longbow Shooting the Sun fell, a fountain of blood burst out from behind Niu Baiwan. Then, the vampire sword dancer, the necromancer and the demon berserker jumped over the wall one after another, picked up their weapons and slashed at him fiercely. Niu Baiwan was about to cast the magic of "Holy Light Protection", but was knocked unconscious by a stick from behind by Who Dares to Be Uglier Than Me? Then he became a fixed meat target, being brutally tortured by all kinds of weapons. From time to time, voices such as "Let me stab him again" and "Move aside, I want to kick him again" were heard from the crowd. It was obvious that the four adventurers of the Doomsday Empire were in a very carefree mood while slashing people. In a blink of an eye, the tall Minotaur Paladin turned into a tall bull corpse.
Even so, the evil necromancer did not let him go, squatting beside him and tearing his body into pieces and devouring it. This is a racial skill unique to the undead race, which can restore vitality by devouring the enemy's corpse. However, the health value of "This person is dead" is obviously full now, and he obviously did this just to vent his anger.
"It would be even better if it could be made into a beef hotpot..." Not long after, Niu Baiwan's body was gnawed into a pile of bones - no one knew where the skeleton had room to accommodate so many cow heads. He shook his head with regret and smacked his lips, seeming to be unsatisfied.
I hope Niu Baiwan won’t be distressed by his sudden weight loss after his resurrection. I thought so.
Although Niu Baiwan was my partner and comrade-in-arms, it is fair to say that he deserved this fate and chose his own death. I think everyone knows what happened just now: Yes, the wall did cover Niu Baiwan's body and the thick obsidian pillar, but this big idiot forgot how long his damn name was. Those beasts or ordinary natives cannot see the soul mark on people's heads, so his sneak attacks are always effective when dealing with beasts. But for the four sky-crossers of the apocalyptic empire, the long list of self-boasting and shameless names on Niu Baiwan's head is like an oversized advertising sign erected on the ground, shining brightly even in the dark night, and it is so bright that it can't wait to spread all the way to the sky, so that the gods living in the zenith will also know that Niu Baiwan is here.
Rather than saying that he died in an enemy ambush, I think it would be more appropriate to say that he died of his own stupidity.
"This big stupid cow..." I muttered to myself.
"We've dealt with one, now it's your turn." The troll assassin looked at the dwarf hiding in the water tank and said slowly , "If you hadn't said anything just now, we might not have been able to find you."
Changgong Sheri shook his head in frustration, slowly climbed out of the water tank, and shrugged his shoulders: "Who made me a good man? I don't even want to save my life to save my friend." Then he shouted in the direction where I was hiding: "Jeffreys, come out, he saw us."
The four men's eyes immediately turned to me.
I was filled with such hatred that I even wanted to strangle that damn dwarf to death with one hand.
I jumped out of the woodpile and started cursing before I even touched the ground: "If you want to be a good person, then be a good person. Why do you have to drag me down with you? You've been discovered, and I've always..."
Suddenly, I realized that something seemed a little wrong. As soon as the four men turned their heads, Changgong Sheri spread his short legs and ran straight out towards the path behind the warehouse like a pinball. But when he saw me jumping out, he was stunned and stopped with his mouth wide open.
"…hidden well…" I finished the sentence in a daze.
"Jeff? Are you really hiding here?" Changgongsheri's words made me vomit blood. It seemed... it seemed... he pointed at me just now just to divert the attention of these four people.
"Didn't you come earlier than me? Didn't you see me when I came in?" I asked back.
"I was squatting in the tank the whole time. I didn't even dare to show my head when I heard the noise. How could I know it was you? Later, when I heard no more movement, I dared to observe the situation. As a result, I saw that idiot Niu Baiwan."
I don't think this idiot who exposed his position has any right to call Niu Baiwan an idiot.
And I was actually deceived by this idiot. It seems that in this stupid game of "who is dumber", I am the ultimate winner.
Our conversation made the four enemies look at each other in bewilderment. After a while, they burst into violent laughter. The necromancer laughed so hard that his jaw was dislocated, and he had a hard time reattaching his jaw. The demon berserker laughed so hard that he couldn't even stand steadily. The vampire sword dancer laughed so glamorously that he couldn't even hold the sword in his hand, and the troll assassin laughed so hard that his waist bent even more and his face fell to the ground.
It would have been a good ending if the four of them could have continued laughing like this until they died of laughter. Unfortunately, their self-control was much stronger than I had hoped.
"Okay, okay, since you two are here, my job will be much easier. Wife..." The troll assassin looked back at his vampire lover and stretched out three thin fingers, "...wash the dishes for three months."
The Vampire Sword Dancer nodded affirmatively: "Three months, that's it!"
After receiving a positive response, the Troll Assassin and his three companions approached us with an apologetic look on their faces: "I'm so sorry, please bear with it and do my job for me for the next three months."
I knew exactly what kind of ending was about to happen to us, so I quickly told the devout believer beside me, "I can't run away with corpses. When you come back, you must remember to revive me. You must remember to revive me!"
At this moment, Longbow Shooting the Sun is my last resort. Apart from him, I can't think of any other way to prolong my life. I can only hope that he has enough sense of justice and responsibility to fulfill my wish.
"The corpse is too far to run. I still prefer to revive my sister the god of death right where she is..." His sense of responsibility is really limited.
"You should go to the resurrection point together and talk!" The demon berserker rushed out impatiently, waving a long-handled broadsword. I really wanted to tell him that I actually had no way to go to the resurrection point, but he didn't seem interested in it.
"Swoosh!" A sharp sound of breaking wind came from the sky, and then our eyes lit up, as if we saw a meteor passing by. In a flash, the starlight went out, and a blood-red flame burst out. Then we heard the demon berserker holding his head and screaming "Ouch", and a fine steel feather arrow was stuck right between his eyebrows.
"Hey, Jeff, it seems like every time I see you, you're always in trouble." A lazy male voice floated from a broken wall on the east side. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw two tall and handsome figures standing on the broken wall.
