Chapter 286 The Last Temptation
The battlefield is now quite fierce. Ten of the 32 legs of the four little spiders have been chopped off. The spider legs are scattered around. The fangs of one little spider have been broken off, and half of the large jaws on both sides of the mouthparts have been broken off. The attack His abilities were severely reduced, and the other one was even worse. His abdomen was cut open, white and green bodily fluids flowed all over the floor, and his movements were even much slower.

On the contrary, the six Guard Zerg remained unharmed, and their attacks and defenses were as fast and efficient as before. More importantly, two of them had broken through the increasingly weakened defenses of the little spiders and joined the mutant spider mother and queen. In the battlefield between the two, they launched a fierce attack on the entangled spider mother.

Indeed, their strength is much weaker than that of the spider mother, and it is difficult for their attacks to cause substantial damage to the spider mother. However, the spider mother now has no time to fight back and dodge, and can only passively withstand all attacks. Over time, not only does the spider mother have a lot of small... He was injured, and even the battle with the queen was interfered with. He was bitten hard by the spider mother's big mouth several times, and green bodily fluids spurted out like a fountain.

"It's going to be defeated." Standing at the door and watching the battle, Xiul suddenly sighed, "In five minutes at most, the first little spider will die, and then there will be a chain reaction, and the number of deaths of the little spiders will increase. The sooner, when the last little spider dies, the end of the mutant spider mother will come."

"Yeah." It didn't matter who made the voice. What was important was that someone finally took the initiative to talk.

Xiuer's judgment on the battle situation was very accurate. Although the little spider with a torn abdomen barely supported the battle for a while, but less than a minute later, it was lying on the ground and unable to move. The limbs can be used to defend against the attacks of insects, but if nothing unexpected happens, they may soon be unable to do so.

"They are just a group of spiders." Shuer said lightly, "They are not even intelligent creatures. Even if we help them, they don't understand what it means to be grateful. And they came to fight against the Zerg Queen for their own benefit. The purpose is not to help us, we don’t owe them anything.”

"Ah."

This is actually true. Since each has his own purpose, he must be responsible for the consequences of his actions. It is not about who owes whom.

"If we help them kill the queen and save them, after the common enemy disappears, I'm afraid it will be our turn to be attacked. After all, we are enemies. Even if they don't attack us, let them return to Parvatiga. What will happen there? Biological creatures are also a threat, and for the sake of Parvatiga's peace, we should also eliminate hidden dangers at their source."

"Ah."

"Huh, no, I can't convince myself." After persisting for a while, Xiure finally gave up the resistance and said with a wry smile, "I can't stand it any longer. How about we help it?"

"Eh? You're actually interested in spiders too? Forget about a beautiful deer like me, you can even kill such an ugly spider. Don't you think you'd let it go as long as it's a female?"

"Moria..." The serious atmosphere created was completely destroyed. Xiuer lowered his shoulders feebly and looked at the forest elf who was enjoying this with desperate eyes, "We are talking about something very serious now. thing."

"I'm very serious too. This is related to a certain hobby of yours. Isn't it still serious? Let me tell you, females are also different. Not every deer is like me..."

"I want to help it." Shuer was too lazy to listen anymore. "The Lord taught us... forget it, let's be honest. I am indeed a priest now, but I was not a good person in my hometown before. I have lived countless lives, and countless people have died indirectly because of me. It is not an exaggeration to say that my hands are full of blood. Moreover, I used to like to deceive others. I have made all kinds of conspiracies, and those who have been calculated by me There are probably more people than most civilians will ever see in their lifetime.”

"However, I really can't do such a throwaway thing. Even if it is just a temporary ally, after all, we have fought against a common enemy side by side. For me to abandon it and turn around and leave, or even watch it die? That's not it. My style of doing things.”

"I can use a person, and I am willing to use a person, but after using a person, I will never take the initiative to throw it away. Use it when it is valuable, and throw it away as a piece of garbage when it loses value. This kind of thing It has violated my code of conduct, I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

"I know that this kind of behavior goes against the principle of maximizing the interests of mercenaries. The limbs of legendary monsters like this are very valuable. For example, the legs of the Spider Mother are excellent forging materials, and the venom is a rare alchemy Treasure, in the eyes of most people, it is already unreasonable for us to kill the queen and the spider mother together without taking advantage of the opportunity."

"I also know that it is a big hidden danger to us. No one can guarantee that it will not suddenly attack on the way back. The eight of us are facing a legendary Warcraft. It is already very difficult to win. In addition, it is suddenly There is a possibility of attack and group destruction.”

"But I still want to help it. This is very willful, I understand, but this is the bottom line of my life. No matter what the result is, at least I have done this and I will not regret it in the future, even if I die because of it."

"Of course, I am not qualified to ask everyone to take risks with me. This is beyond the scope of a normal mercenary mission. Anyway, the exit is close at hand, and my command is no longer needed. Then I declare that the Shadow Chaser Team will be disbanded. You are free to leave, and I will take care of the rest by myself. Try to run as far away as possible after returning to Parvatiga, so that if the spider mother turns her back and makes trouble, it will affect you as well."

"Okay, I have given my last order as the captain. Let's say goodbye. It's been a pleasure cooperating with you all this time. I hope there will be opportunities to continue to cooperate in the future. Oh, if I am still alive by then."

"Has anyone ever told you that you talk a lot of nonsense, Captain?" Meridi, who is as arrogant as a queen, likes to glance sideways at men, always with a bit of contempt in her eyes, "Your style, Your bottom line, none of this is important. We will naturally see it with our eyes. The important issue now is that if you are going to continue talking nonsense, the little spiders will die. By then, they will not be able to attract firepower. You have to fight against those spiders. Guards Zerg?" "Oh, is this your attitude?" Shuer smiled, "Okay, I just missed a sentence, everyone is free to leave, but if you want to stay and fight together, I Also infinitely welcome.”

"Do you think we are so cold-blooded and untrustworthy at all?" The mountain elf raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfied, "Do you think you are the only one who has a bottom line, and none of us do? If you can do that If you use it up and throw it away, then the first thing I will do is to withhold all your rewards, anyway, you are useless now."

"Hey, this is not negotiable." Xiu Er immediately became anxious, staring and protesting, "According to the mercenary industry rules, even if I die, you have to send the reward to the Dark Moon Temple."

"Hmph, and don't you think you are shameless?" Dak suddenly interrupted Seul and said with a sneer, "Noble, noble, disgusting aristocratic style. You used to be a noble in your hometown, and you were also a big noble. I'm not wrong., You think no one can see the aristocratic way of doing things. Are you using this method to force us to accept your willfulness? If you say this, even if you want to leave It’s hard for me to say it anymore. I can only stay and accompany you to be willful. I don’t believe you don’t understand this. Huh, if you want everyone to accompany you crazy, you can’t say it directly. You have to use this method to make everyone Take the initiative, what do you think of everyone? Or do you dare to say that you are not playing tricks?"

"Uh, really not. I swear in the name of the Lord, every word I say is from the bottom of my heart."

"Eh? Really?" Moria tilted her head and coaxed, "It doesn't look like it."

"Of course it's true. I swore to Lord Dark Moon." Facing Moria's aggressive shining eyes, Shuer resisted for a moment and then lost. "Okay, I admit, it's a little bit true. only a little bit."

"a little?"

"Well, maybe a little bigger than one, um, a little bigger."

"Where is your shame? And where is your oath?"

"Anyway, Lady Luna doesn't care, what are you afraid of." Xiuer subconsciously said, "No, what I mean is, my oath comes from the heart, I..."

"They are really going to die." Frye's solemn voice came from the shadows. "If you want to leave, leave. If you want to fight, then fight. If we delay it any longer, we won't be able to leave or fight."

"What's the rush? He's just delaying time on purpose." Ordinary Winged Man's vision seemed to be quite ordinary, and he could see Xiuer's purpose at a glance, "This guy is so insidious, risking his life to save the spider? It doesn’t exist. He deliberately delayed the time just to consume the spider mother’s power, so as to ensure that even if the spider mother suddenly attacks, we can win steadily.”

"Don't you know that human nature cannot withstand temptation?" Mia glared at Shuer coldly, "Since you deliberately let us see through to show your sincerity, then I will forgive you once, but only this time, and it will not be the same next time."

What Mia said was inexplicable, but everyone present except Friesen understood what she was talking about.Either this group of people are aliens who have lived for hundreds of years, or they are smart people with rich experience who have been in frequent contact with nobles. They have already said this, how could they still not understand.

Along the way, everyone is observing Xiuer's style, and similarly, Xiuer is also observing everyone's performance. This time, I already have my heart in my heart, but I still pretend to be sad and let everyone leave first. It is only a means of testing for the last time .

Not only is it testing character, it is also testing intelligence. Well, yes, intelligence. After all, if you want to cooperate for a long time in the future, on the basis of ensuring character, you must either be obedient enough or smart enough, so as to ensure the integrity of the team. working normally.

The good news is that everyone can understand Xiu Er's thoughts, but the sad thing is that some people are not ready to forgive Xiu Er's way. Don't you want to get closer, don't you know that I have a sense of proportion and won't go too far?Hum hum, let you see the power of a simple meal of an ordinary winged man. ,

"Bang", there was another violent body collision on the battlefield, and a little spider with only five legs left flew past the edge of the eight people, interrupting the crusade against Xiuer.The little spider hit the metal wall hard and slowly slid down the wall. It was dizzy for a long time and could not get up.

"It's time." Shuer raised his voice and said, "Now that everyone has forgiven me, I will give orders again. Everyone, prepare to fight."

"clear."
