Raise Your Sword Chapter 4: Send to death

　　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 went deep. It spreads upwards, but I don't know where it will end 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."

　　 "噗嗤——"

　　 Kaloka laughed, and shook his head helplessly and said, "With these things, I'm afraid that people will be broken into pieces by Bekal's paws! But what you said last night is still 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 dared to pick up these weapons, he would have surpassed such a soft guy like you." He is Hufu, and he was with Kate last night. The hunter in the battle.

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

　　 "Sometimes we have to do it, but this does not represent our essence. You are a good Merlin, but the rules are the rules. What a pity." Hufu looked at Merlin and said, he patted Merlin on the shoulder and stood. Walking beside him.

　　 "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.

　　 Elder Xiuyi 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, everyone could only be silent. When everyone was about to leave, the old man thought of something and suddenly walked to Hufu and whispered:

　　 "Don't hurry to go."

　　 "Huh?"

　　"Remember a few years ago, Bekal had already eaten someone~IndoMTL.com~ But there was still a disaster in the town... Once something happened, 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."

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

　　 "Good!"

　　··························

　　 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 good state, and Mei Lin slowly approached the cave, and the cold hard soil under his feet made a banging sound.

　　"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.
