Raise Your Sword Chapter 2: Live it

　　The icy and snowy peaks stand in the dawn, inserted into the vast sky, majestic and majestic. The flannelette glacier under the sky is transparent and glassy, ​​looking from behind to the mountain, it looks like a giant creeping ice and snow. And above the mountains, the highest peak seemed to go deep into the clouds, with years of storms on it, and it was surrounded by a huge hurricane. No one could ever get close to it.

　　Of course, everyone’s destination is not at the summit of the hurricane. In the past few years, there will be a period of time every year when Bekal will howl at a cave near the foot of the highest mountain, which is a sign of its descending attack.

　　 No one knows where Bekal came from. Some people say that the cave is its lair. There are also more courageous townspeople who entered the cave to check when Bekal disappeared, but the cave continued to spread deep. , But I don't know where it ended up.

　　Worrying about what happened to Merlin and worrying about Bekal, everyone only took a few hours of rest last night and set off early. After a whole night of trekking, everyone at this moment has come to a tall ridge, flanked by scattered withered branches of snow-capped trees, inserted one by one in the thick soil that has been frozen extremely hard. Although the location is not high and there is not much snow, the cold wind and harsh environment still make people irritable.

　　 At this moment, Merlin is walking in the middle of the team with a quiver on his waist, and a hunter is talking to him.

　　 "I said Merlin, are you really planning to fight Bekal with such things on your back?" A hunter patted Merlin on the shoulder and asked, his name is Kaloka.

　　 "Yes."

　　 "Puff--" Kaloka laughed and shook his head reluctantly, saying: "With these things, I'm afraid that people who are shot by Bekal's paws will be broken into pieces! But you yesterday The late speech was quite generous and fierce." Kaloka shrugged.

　　Of course everyone present knows that Merlin is actually going to die. No one really takes what he said last night. Most of the time Bekal attacks the town and it doesn’t seem to be to satisfy his stomach. It only has to be tasted once. His blood would quickly calm down from his irritability and lack the desire to attack. As long as everyone heard Bekaal's two special roars representing pleasure from afar on another mountain, they would know that the town was safe.

　　Merlin didn't bother to pay attention to him. Although he knew he would die, it didn't mean he was willing to die without doing anything.

　　 "By the way, your knife seems to be good." Kaloka said, "Maybe you won't be able to use it in the future. Can you give it to me?" Kaloka has actually been paying attention to Merlin's knife, although the knife Tucked in the scabbard, but the faint cold light has already made his eyes greedy.

　　 "After I die, I have the ability to pick it up by myself." Merlin said coldly.

　　Merlin’s tone was very bad, and Kaloka felt a little shameful, so he said, "Well, I will thank you. I hope that when you meet Bekal, your legs won’t be too soft to stand up." Go farther.

　　At this time, a tall and majestic figure next to him suddenly said: "Shut up! When he picked up these weapons, he had already surpassed such a soft guy like you." He is Hufu, and he was playing against Kate last night. That hunter.

　　 "Humph." Kaloka turned his head disdainfully, he was actually a little bit awkward, and the opponent was a pretty good player.

　　 "Sometimes we can't help ourselves, but this does not mean our essence. You are a good Merlin, but the rules are the rules. It's a pity." Hufu said, looking at Merlin, and he took a picture of Merlin. Shoulder, stood beside him and walked.

　　 "I want to ask you to do me a favor." Merlin suddenly said, he is actually a bit tired, after all, he has been walking from last night to today, and only took a few hourglass breaks.

　　 "What's the matter?"

　　 "I want to take a break, I hope I can stop for a while before I reach the cave."

　　 "Resting? Why?" Kaloka said beside him. He was berated by Khufu just now, feeling unhappy, which attracted the attention of everyone around him, including Xiuyi and Kate in front.

　　 "Let me take a break before I arrive, this is my request!" Merlin looked at the old man Xiuyi who came by and said loudly. At this moment, he is fully armed, but he looks a little different from those around him.

　　 "Why? Are you unable to walk?" The old man Xiuyi asked. Everyone next to him was whispering and he was about to reach his destination. This request seemed a bit strange at this time.

　　For some reason, Merlin thought of Kaloka's words and suddenly didn't want to explain, so he didn't speak on the spot.

　　 "Let him take a break, he is going to die for all of us!" Hufu suddenly said in a deep voice, the voice echoing in everyone's ears.

　　···········

　　 In the afternoon, the rest of the crowd finally reached the vicinity of the cave, which is located under a huge rock block at the foot of the mountain. The stone walls are covered with reddish-brown unknown spots. In front of the cave is a weird and gloomy dead place. It is different from the trees that are still exuding vitality in the ice and snow. The trees around here have turned black, full of one. The appearance of withered and withered.

　　 The old man sighed without saying anything extra, greeted everyone and watched Merlin walk towards the distance with the ritual of a hunter praying. When Merlin's figure disappeared in this dead place, the old man lowered his head, and everyone was silent. Just as everyone was about to leave, the old man suddenly walked up to Khufu and whispered:

　　 "Don't hurry to go."

　　 "Huh?"

　　"Remember some years ago, Bekal had already eaten a person, but there was still a disaster in the town... I think, for the sake of insurance, we will guard from a distance, in case something happens , I didn’t hear Bekaal’s two special roars representing pleasure..."

　　The old man Xiuyi stared at Khufu and said: "You should know why I insist on asking Kate to come."

　　 "Okay." Hufu tilted his head slightly and glanced at Kate who seemed to be chatting with people in the distance, his eyes a little deep.

　　··························

　　 dark and damp, this is the first feeling that Mei Lin came to this dead place at the foot of the mountain.

　　 Even the snowy mountains have dark corners. There is not much snow covered here. The deformed and tall trees cover most of the sunlight. Only the mottled and sparse light shines through the dead leaves of the trees, making the woodland look like It is exceptionally mysterious and weird. There are occasionally collapsed giant trees around. Look at the cracks that were forcibly torn apart. Looking at the broken giant trees dozens of yards away, Mei Lin took a deep breath and the stone wall cave was right in front of her eyes. .

　　 Merlin drew out his knife and nervously looked around in the woodland. He clasped the handle of the knife in his hands and was full of sweat, and his breath was full of dark smells. Finally, after the rest just now, his energy returned to a pretty good state, and Merlin slowly approached the cave, and the cold hard soil under his feet made a bang.

　　"Where is that monster? Is it in the hole? What should I do?!"

　　 With thoughts in her mind, Merlin fumbled and walked to the entrance of the cave. The corpses of unknown beasts scattered around the dim surroundings. The unknown ore inside brought some faint light, which can be seen very It was rugged and deep. At this moment, Mei Lin touched the cold stone wall and stopped suddenly.

　　 A shadow slowly appeared on the stone wall in front of him, slowly becoming bigger and bigger. A kind of oppressive feeling belonging to a huge creature bullied him from behind, and Merlin seemed to smell something unique to a beast. Sniffing, sweat dripping on the forehead, followed by the sound of strong saliva swallowing by the ear...

　　He slowly raised his head--

　　 Danger!

　　 jerked sideways and jumped far to the side. The next moment the hard rock wall was hit by a heavy claw with a deep crack. Along with the low, purring-like throat sound, Mei Lin reluctantly turned around in horror--what kind of monster was in front of her!

　　The huge open mouth is as tall as a person, the protruding kisses are spraying a fishy snort, a pair of vertical pupils embedded in the wrinkled skin, staring at the front without emotion, black scales Like thin armor, layer by layer from the edge of the mouth full of sharp teeth to cover behind the body. Only two horns leaning forward like a cow were protruding from his head, and his back was vaguely covered with many raised thorn-like patterns. There were two beside him—Heaven, he actually had wings.

　　 Before thinking about it, Merlin ran wildly along the rock wall. The stone wall is not too wide. It is about tens of yards long along the bottom of the mountain. There are many paw prints on it, covered with vegetation struggling to survive in the cold wind. Merlin shrank to the side and shot out a dozen yards in the corner, just at this moment--

　　 嗷嗷—— There was a terrible roar behind him, and the huge body directly smashed his head over the rock wall and bit down towards Merlin. However, because the stone wall was slightly inclined to press against the ground, Merlin was in the corner and did not bite. The hard head kept smashing the stone debris off, and Bekal kept making huge whistling sounds.

　　Chance!

　　 Forcibly restraining fear, Merlin told himself that he must fight. At the moment the huge head plunged again, Merlin suddenly turned around and drew the huge hunting knife with a backhand. The cold light flashed, but Bekal opened his mouth and immediately bit the blade. The exaggerated contrast seemed to be held in his mouth. A small toothpick.

　　 "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-" Merlin gritted his teeth and drew sharp noises from between Bekal's teeth. The sharp, tree-like claws made a long series of claw marks on the stone wall and swept towards Meilin.

　　 reluctantly turned around and blocked the hunting knife to his side. Before Merlin could react, he was knocked out by the claws and fell into the distance.

　　 "It's awful! Nowhere to hide!" Resisting the pain of his body, Merlin was already on the hard soil at the moment, and Bekal let out a bloodthirsty howl and rushed over again. The body slid through the air and rushed towards Merlin with unparalleled strength.

　　 Avoid? No... Can't avoid it! Hard resistance? Impossible... There is no cover! Will die... Will definitely die, Merlin turned her mind through gritted teeth thousands of times, attacking it? How to attack, can't do it! Is there really a way to hurt such a monster?

　　——If you die, die! A decisive look flashed in Merlin's eyes. He rushed towards the behemoth Bekal! The giant claw on one side slammed aside before stepping on him, and without looking at the blood-colored head that was bitten towards him immediately, the knife light took advantage of the trend and slashed in a circle on his side.

　　 tear and pull——

　　 It was just a moment. Merlin hardly felt any obstacles, only saw the blade cut into the strong steel-like body, and the powerful scales were evenly divided by himself with a sharp contrast. In the two halves, green blood spattered from the hideous paws and dripped onto the ground.

　　 "Woo-" Bekal cried out in pain, and the pain made him yank his head back, and did not bite Merlin anymore, and then the green blood hit the ground drop by drop as it continued to recede Connected all the way.

　　 "Come on, come and eat me, idiot!" Merlin had just passed by the **** of death, and found that he could actually hurt this terrible monster. The excitement and the pressure of death made him shout directly, and he was also caught by himself. The sharpness of the hunting knife in his hand was shocked.

　　 At this moment, Merlin suddenly found that the remaining blood of Bekal on the hunting knife he was holding was boiling sharply. The green blood slowly turned black and gave off a dark color. Merlin had no time to go. Thinking, taking advantage of the moment Bekal paused, he drew out the bow and arrow behind him, and with a flick of his finger, he drew out a sharp arrow and shot it at Bekal's eyes.

　　"Whoo!"

　　 The arrow is in the middle of the huge beast head, and the extremely sharp arrow penetrates deeply through the hard scales, only revealing a tail feather, but it fell on the double kiss at the moment Bekal tilted his head by a millimetre. .

　　 Bekal is crazy, when was it hurt by such a crawler? Regardless of the pain, the huge body rushed over with a powerful force that shook the ground. Merlin had already ran back to the bottom of the rock wall, anxiously calculating that he would have to shoot it in the eye next time. If he couldn't restrict Bekal's vision, he would die sooner or later.

　　 The rock wall above his head was swept to pieces by claws again, and the black shadow on the ground slowly enlarged. Merlin looked up and saw that the heavy body flew up at some unknown time, and the skeletal wings flapped, although Not high, but condescendingly shrouded the front of his run.

　　's heart sank, Merlin stopped, he knew he couldn't hide.

　　 There was some wind on the ground.

　　嗷嗷嗷嗷—The wings slammed into a fierce wind, and Bekal let out a wild roar in the air and dived directly down.

　　Run! Merlin knew that it was meaningless to avoid him at this time, flashed past the cave of Bekal in front of him, and rushed towards it with his leg pulled out. Bekal's speed was too fast. This charge smashed the rocks behind him and hit Merlin. Merlin felt a burst of force behind him, and he fell to the ground and his right body was numb.

　　 Without any thoughts, Merlin's body turned to the side, and his claws smashed the ground into pieces. Bekal's hideous body was pressed down from the front. Merlin held the hunting knife with one hand and faced it breathlessly. Bekal. The kisses that Bekal had bitten stopped abruptly-he was very afraid of the knife.

　　How does it feel to look at a beast? Especially a beast that is countless times bigger than himself and whose eyes are bigger than his head!

　　A bloodthirsty aura rushed toward her face, holding back the tremor all over, Merlin gritted her teeth, and she swept across the cave and was right beside her. He swung his knife forward suddenly, and Bekal's head shrank slightly. The next moment Merlin turned and threw himself to the side. At the previous position, a huge mouth that was then pounced bit out and made a bang. .

　　 At this moment, Bekal's eyes were unguardedly exposed in front of Merlin, and a sharp arrow shot out of the cave, in the middle of the pupil that shrank into a thin line!

　　 "Woo- woo- woo-" The howling began, and the arrow finally severely wounded Bekal, but it also completely aroused the animality of this terrifying behemoth. It didn't care about the slight pain, and chased it directly. Mei Lin was running in the cave under the faint light, and the breath behind him seemed to be close at hand!

　　 its feet, what happened to its feet! Thinking quickly, Merlin suddenly thought of the wound that he saw just now. It was not at all like it had been cut with his own knife before. It had been corroded, forming a half-human hollow of flesh and blood, and Merlin passed through it. The blood that turned black saw the terrible animal bones inside.

　　 This must be caused by this knife, the power of this knife! Jenny's figure flashed before Merlin's eyes, yes, this is nothing ordinary, Bekal must be very painful! Thinking of all this, Merlin's heart suddenly became excited, but he stopped abruptly.

　　 There is no way in front of me! Behind him is the figure of Bekal with his wings curled up and swaying in the hole.

　　 "What to do? What to do?" Merlin turned around and drew an arrow and shot it at Bekal behind him~IndoMTL.com~Because the cave was a bit dim, he didn't know where he shot, but only heard the beast behind him pause. After a moment, let out a miserable howl. Merlin looked back at the end of the cave and looked up. At this moment, the way out was already dark and above his head, not knowing where it had spread.

　　 There is nowhere to escape, are you going to die here?

　　 seems to have a voice asking himself in his heart. Merlin turned her head, her eyes were shining under the light of the distant hole, she had already opened her mouth wide and bit her blood basin, as if she could see the tangled muscles like vines, and the smell of fishy smell was almost letting her face. People suffocate.

　　 is it really going to die here?

　　The outside world

　　far away

　　........

　　 No, how can this be!

　　 A powerful instinct and inspiration that didn’t know where it came from for a while, Merlin looked at the beast kiss close at hand with a decisive look in his eyes, and threw the knife into the beast’s throat with all his strength... ·····

　　"Seventh method, dark nicks, curses, weakness, aging, slowness, life cage!" At this moment, a clear voice from a remote town called out, the voice almost became a single tone. . Jenny sat on the chair next to the small table, her hands changed dozens of movements in an instant, and the six-pointed star mark under her feet flashed in the air into a huge circle, covering the whole house.

　　 "The Mark of the Curse!"

　　 folded her hands, Jenny finally yelled these words, she spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell on the table wilfully, her eyes closed but she passed out.

　　 At the same time, in the cave, the blade that was thrown out turned into a whirlwind, flashing a dazzling light instantly, and a huge six-pointed star array burst out with a sharp explosion!
