Along a cape, Gordon climbed up the cliff facing north. Several black waterbirds perched on it were frightened and flew up, making noisy calls.
Gordon was lying on a rock protrusion, about a hundred meters away from Freckles' cave, with the cliffs on both sides forming a narrow angle. From this position, he could clearly observe Freckles' every move, including the subtle expression changes on the other person's face.
The water rats gathered around the cave, charging inward again and again, and then screamed and fell out of the cliff. Blood sprayed one after another, covering the rocks. Freckles firmly guarded the entrance of the cave, and the dagger was fast, hard, and clean.
The knife penetrated the water rat's vital point without wasting any extra time or energy.
This is a pure killing martial art, efficient and practical, giving up all technical changes in exchange for the shortest route of attack. This killing technique seems simple, but without years of brutal practice, it is absolutely impossible to perform it. Gordon saw rat blood and minced meat constantly splattering
On his freckled face, he didn't even blink, wielding the knife mercilessly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was always an air of disdain for everything on his face.
Is this the No. 12 with mediocre martial arts skills, the street boy who keeps swearing? Gordon stared at the face that was stained with blood but still unchanged, and suddenly felt so strange.
That face was wearing a disguised mask, pretending to be more successful than himself. Thinking about this, Gordon felt uncomfortable, and even felt a trace of anger after being deceived. Then, he thought that he was the same, and felt a little confused.
.
"Everyone has to wear a mask, sooner or later." His father taught him, but he didn't care at the time, but now he knows how it feels.
"Pfft!" Freckles slit the neck of a water rat with a knife, kicked with his right leg, and pushed the water rat from the other end off the cliff. He opened his backpack with his backhand, took out a bottle of green solution, and threw it out. The green liquid splashed out.
The water seeps quickly into the bodies of the water rats, eroding their flesh and blood. They scream in pain, and when they fall from the cliff to the ground, only their claws and teeth dripping with pus are left.
After a while, Freckles shook his hands and sprayed out a spray of liquid. More than ten water rats smelled the liquid and froze to death on the spot. After a while, he shot out several spray cans, covering the water rats in the colorful smoke.
They were going crazy, their eyes were red, and they were killing each other.
Gordon had been watching. Nearly an hour had passed, and the water rats were still attacking one after another. Although Freckles used various methods and killed more than 300 water rats, he still could not withstand the heavy exertion. His physical strength
He dropped sharply, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and his hands and feet gradually became sluggish.
A water rat rushed past the blade and bit Freckles' arm, causing blood to rush out. He swung his arm and smashed against the cave wall. The water rat collided violently with the rocks and turned into a pulp. Another water rat pounced on it.
His legs were kicked away, but this time the force was a little smaller. The water rat did not fall off the cliff, but rolled around his feet. Sharp back spurs shot out, and the skin was covered with freckles.
Boots. Blood seeped out from the holes, staining the boots red. Freckles' body swayed, and water rats swarmed up.
Gordon subconsciously tightened his grip on the dagger, and then slowly loosened it. Freckles could not hold on much longer. His movements became slower and slower, and his accuracy began to deviate. The water rats piled up like surging gray waves, tearing open streaks of bright red blood.
foam.
At least I can collect his body and bury it, which is considered an acquaintance. Gordon saw a water rat bite Freckle's calf, and another jumped on Freckle's shoulder, biting off a bloody piece of leather and flesh. Freckle's shoulder shook in pain.
, a wooden box rolled out of the backpack and fell to the ground. The lid of the box opened, revealing a flower that looked like a gemstone.
Gordon immediately smelled a strange aroma, which was extremely strong, like substance, and spread rapidly to the surroundings. As if stimulated, the water rat swarmed madly towards the cave and pounced on the strange flower. Freckles roared and used his two swords.
Swirling rapidly, two dazzling haloes of light bloomed.
The entire entrance of the cave was filled with white light, the knife wheel rolled over, and the broken flesh and blood splashed everywhere. Freckles tried his best, like a mad tiger, killing the water rat, making it difficult for him to enter.
Gemstone flower! Gordon suddenly realized when he saw the radiant and crystal clear flower. No wonder the water rat stared at the freckles. It turned out to be the scent of the gemstone flower.
The gem flower is extremely rare. According to the description in the classics, it is born in the vast sky, absorbs light and wind and dew and grows. It is colorless and odorless and difficult to find with the naked eye. After the flowering period, the withered gem flower will fall from the sky and become colorful when it comes into contact with the earth's atmosphere.
Emits a pungent aroma.
This peculiar fragrance spreads very quickly and is an irresistible temptation for ferocious beasts. After ferocious beasts swallow the gem flower, they can be reborn and evolve.
For humans, gem flowers have only one very minor use - to reduce dependence on coca medicine.
Coca is a green shrub, which is subdivided into seven categories: curled-leaf coca, flat-leaf coca, and fine-leaf coca. Its leaves can be used to refine medicine and be used for pain relief. Alchemists who stay up late to study are especially fond of using it.
Coca medicine can cure headaches. But later, alchemists discovered that taking a large amount of coca medicine can lead to addiction, which is difficult to get rid of, and the temperament will become dark, cruel, and insensitive. So coca medicine was banned by many countries until
Flowed into the black market and became a tool used by some underground forces to control their subordinates.
Gordon looked deeply at Freckles. Freckles was desperately trying to keep the gem flower. Is it because he was addicted to coca potion and wanted to quit? He was the only one who had taken coca potion, or were all other teenagers like this? Gordon had a question in his heart.
With an ominous premonition, he has been hunting in the wild and has not returned to the base yet. He has no idea what happened in the past six months.
If the Blood Prison Society would not hesitate to use coca medicine in order to firmly control everyone, then he would not be spared after returning to the base.
"Pfft!" Freckles stabbed the water rat in the neck with a knife. He lowered his body and reached back with his left arm, trying to cover the wooden box. But another water rat rushed over, biting his left wrist, and followed closely.
Another water rat rushed into the cave, shot out its back thorns, and rushed towards the door. For a moment, the freckles were so overwhelmed that they couldn't spare their hands to cover the gem flowers.
The strong fragrance of flowers filled the air, stimulating the water rats to rush forward and attack violently. The entire entrance of the cave was almost obscured by the black swarm of rats.
Gordon hesitated for a moment, climbed onto the cliff, and began to climb down. The fragrance of the gemstone flowers was spreading continuously, and it wouldn't take long before the ferocious beasts that gathered were enough to crowd the place. If he didn't evacuate, his life would be at risk.
Give it away.
Quickly climbing down the cliff, Gordon ran towards the river bank. After walking a few steps, he ran into dozens of armored crocodiles, charging towards them in a menacing manner. Behind the group of armored crocodiles, Gordon saw ice-ringed snakes, man-eating frogs, poisonous hippos, etc. nearby.
Hundreds of ferocious beasts climbed out of the river and ran towards the cliff.
The herd of beasts was obviously attracted here by the scent of gem flowers. The way forward was blocked, so Gordon had to turn around and run towards the jungle on the other side. When he rounded the cliff, he heard the roars of vicious beasts one after another, the branches and leaves of the jungle swaying, and the fishy wind.
With a bang, ferocious beasts pounced from the depths of the forest.
Gordon stopped suddenly. In just a few minutes, he was surrounded by beasts coming from all directions, leaving no room for escape.
