Chapter 65 Counterattack

Every time the Lantern King attacks, I can only see a blood-red light trace and a blurred image.

And once I saw its blue eyes clearly, it meant that it was standing more than ten meters away with the flesh torn from my body.

At that distance, my saber cannot reach it.

During the period, Little Ah Si helped me block an attack, but without any surprise, he was kicked two or three meters away by the cat's paw, and couldn't stand up now.

I looked at Zhao Hong who couldn't stop kowtowing, and Ah Si who was lying on the ground and spitting black water.Finding that these two people are so vulnerable, I feel the viciousness of the Lantern King even more.

Zhao Hong has the ability to fight, but he doesn't have the will to fight. Ah Si has the will to fight, but he doesn't have the ability to fight.

This is probably why the black cat mainly attacks me.

Moreover, the bloody smell of the dead gray cat on my body is stronger, which may be one of the reasons why the Lantern King attacked me madly.

But no matter what the specific reason is, in short, I think this means. Then the Lantern King decided to play me to death.

In less than 2 minutes, I was cut open seven or eight times by this beast. The saddest thing is that the wound I received in the "yin shop" before also burst open, bleeding slowly.

In the pain, I couldn't even straighten my body.In the middle of the circular field surrounded by fireflies, I was hit mercilessly by the black cat, but I couldn't fight back.

The strength and agility of the Lantern King surpassed its size and even beyond my imagination. This beast is as confident and ruthless as a gladiator in ancient Rome. Every attack it makes is so ingenious that it only hurts The flesh on my surface only makes me feel painful but not fatal!

But the more it attacks like this, the more terrified I am.

Because I know that it is enjoying the fun of "slaughter".

And I just barely support it.

This is exactly the same as a cat playing with a mouse. The reason why it doesn't let the fireflies swarm over it is probably because it wants to enjoy this bloody "fun".

For the first time in my life, I felt complete fear and despair for an animal.

This feeling also made me hold the saber tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

I was afraid, so I hesitated to make a move.

If I miss one hit, I will definitely die, and if I want to reverse the situation, I must slow down this crazy old cat. At least, I can see it clearly within the attack range!
In desperation, I shouted at Zhao Hong: "Old Zhao! I am dying (need you)!" Because of the firefly poison, my tongue was still numb, so I could barely bite out the word "Old Zhao".

However, he didn't respond to me.

In the bloody scene, Zhao Hong was still peeing his pants and still kowtowing.

His performance made me terrified and heartbroken.

At this moment, the Lantern King charged over again, but unlike the previous few times, it did not attack my upper three lanes, but stood up straight at my feet with a flash of phantom.

For a moment, the Lantern King stopped moving. He lay on his back, staring at the blue eyes, standing between my feet, tilting his head and looking at me who was covered in bruises.

The cat was actually laughing, a playful and bloody smile.

"Handarm! (Bastard!)" I cursed, and at the same time instinctively stretched out my hand, grabbed the cat's tail, and grabbed the coquettish blood-red "light" on its tail.

But even at such a close distance, I still missed it.

The cat dexterously slipped through my crotch, and immediately grabbed my ankle!
Immediately, I fell to my knees on the ground.

It actually attacked my old wound!
This bastard is fully aware of my weaknesses.

The pain caused by this claw blow is fatal, if the previous few strokes are just appetizing "side dishes".

Then this is undoubtedly a fatal "dinner".

Under the alternation of old and new wounds, the pain was as intense as a hot knife cutting butter.

The pain was so intense that it almost stopped my mind for the next few seconds, completely filled with that feeling.

I knelt on the ground, surrounded by fireflies, howling and screaming for a long time.

I almost gave up.

Because, when I regained some sanity from the pain, the first thing I saw was the broken body of the gray cat not far away.

Under the moonlight, its dead body with black moldy glutinous rice sticking to it was extremely conspicuous.The claw marks and bloodstains covered with cat corpses made me feel familiar. Isn't this the "torture" I am suffering now?

The Lantern King, do you... want me to die in the same tragic situation as the gray cat.

Vicious beast!Vicious beast!
Angry and terrified, I lost my position, instinctively, retreated, and didn't stop until I bumped into something behind me.

When I turned around, I was surprised to find that the person behind me was still Zhao Hong, who kept kneeling and kowtowing.

So, once again, I shouted at Zhao Hong in despair: "Old Zhao! Your anger comes from your heart! (Fear comes from your heart!), save yourself (wake up!)"

Old Zhao was still twitching.He didn't even look up at me.

His appearance...was also familiar!

Isn't that the frightened look of Zhao Hong four years ago when we accidentally entered Little Pepper's dreamland?
In a trance, I seemed to think of something in my mind, but what... I didn't understand it myself.

Relying entirely on instinct, I supported my body again, and stood in front of Zhao Hong with my legs in circles.

My movements were so stiff and abrupt that the black cat didn't know what I meant. It just stood beside me, tilting its head to observe, watching my incomprehensible actions.

He must not understand, because I don't even know what the hell I'm doing!
When I stood in front of Zhao Hong, my mind was still blank.I even laughed at my own behavior... what can I do?Facing Zhao Hong whose confidence has collapsed, what can I do with a serious injury?
But even so, I stretched out my bloody arm... and slapped him!

Zhao Hong still didn't respond to me, but he stopped crying.

Maybe it was my actions that made a difference, maybe it was the blood on my hands that brought back his calmness... In short, he stopped complaining.He continued to look up at me with surprised eyes.

I looked at him, smiled dumbly, and wriggled my tongue a few times, trying to make my words clearer and said:

"Don't forget! You have eaten... maggots!"

Five years ago, when we and the old squad leader ate maggots and broken Gu, didn't we also freak out in fright?And... we eat our own fears.

"What's so scary (scared)!" I grabbed his shoulder and shouted.

My voice was very loud, only to hear Zhao Hong's eyes suddenly closed!
At this moment, as if my words also stimulated the Bright Lantern King, the animal let out a long howl, and made another side attack, and its minions sliced ​​across my shoulder like a scalpel.

A stream of blood spurted out, spattered to my forehead, and also splashed into Zhao Hong's eyes.

The Lantern King seemed to want to use this bloody way to warn Zhao Hong of his fate against the king.

But this time, it had the opposite result.

Zhao Hong wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes.He suddenly became angry, and there was a cold light in his eyes that had never been seen before.That kind of coldness is the coldness of revenge.

Zhao Hong supported his fat body.Pointing at me, he said harshly to the Lantern King: "My comrade-in-arms is bleeding! You fucking dare to make my brother bleed!"

The black cat howled and rushed over again!

But this time, he was facing Zhao Hong!
Looking at the red marks left by the Lantern King in the dark night, Zhao Hongzai didn't panic and dodge. He bowed and raised his steps, and suddenly shouted "Go!~"

Immediately afterwards, he quickly threw out the handful of things in his hand!

Zhao Hong held a handful of soil in his hand.

Zhao Hong later told me that the soil was secretly grabbed when he got up, and he knew a long time ago that things like the King of Lights were afraid of "raising the soil", but he was hindered by some deeper things in his heart Consideration and fear, instead of saying to me...

Soil is a good thing, it can relieve heat and stop bleeding, and it can be grabbed and sprinkled.The Lantern King is very fast, but he must not be a real god, so Zhao Hong inevitably hit him straight.

The moment he was hit by the earth curtain, the Lantern King gave a strange cry, changed direction like hell, ran away six or seven meters away, kept stretching out his claws, and scratched his face and eyes with his tongue. Obviously, there was sand in his eyes .

After a successful blow, Zhao Hong's courage suddenly grew!He lit another cigarette, puffed out the clouds, and dragged me up.

"Is your knife still there?..." Zhao Hong asked me in a low voice.

I nodded.

"Think of a way! Kill with one blow!..."

I nod again.

After that, Zhao Hong rushed out like a bulldozer.He raised his hand between his legs, causing waves of dirt everywhere.In this tide of offensive, it can be called brave and invincible!

The cigarette butt in his mouth combined with the dust in his hand made the black cat suffer a lot.Although the animal was still threatening and intimidating with its teeth and claws, it just didn't dare to get close.Even more frightening, the fireflies nearby were at a loss. Although they occasionally flew up to fight back, they were afraid to go forward for a while because of Zhao Hong's cigarette.

In an instant, the balance of our confrontation with the Lantern King slowly began to tilt.

Taking advantage of the situation, I got up, shook off the dirt on my body, hurriedly grabbed Ah Si, and leaned over to Zhao Hong at the same time.

When the three of them reunited, the power of Dust was more than doubled!
For a moment, we felt a bit anti-customer on the field paved by fireflies.

In the process of covering the sky and covering the earth, the old cat was made into a mess by us, not to mention covered in ashes, and was also stunned and helpless after being chased by us, running for his life all over the place.

Not long after, a dramatic scene happened suddenly. The Lantern King ran away amidst our attack, its long tail and red lights dimmed, and quickly disappeared among the miscellaneous trees.

"Run?" I said happily.

Zhao Hong watched him leave, his expression could not relax at all, and he dared not let go of his hands that were full of dirt.

After a while, Zhao Hong shook his head indifferently as he looked at the swarm of insects that were still emitting faint green fluorescence.

"It didn't go away!" Zhao Hong answered me with a worried face, and at the same time reminded: "It is said that the Lantern King is good at holding grudges. If we provoke this beast so much today, it will never let it go."

After listening to Zhao Hong's words, I almost burst into tears.

Who messed with it? !We were just driving along Laoqi Road, is this called provocation?There is no reason!

What's more, we've already been punished enough, Hongye and Wang Hou's life and death are unknown, and I was scratched and bruised all over my body by that beast, even talking with my tongue, what grudge does it have?

"Ah!" In desperation, I let out a long breath, really want to cry but have no tears, want to say...I can't fucking explain it!

Also at this time, the Lantern King reappeared as if to confirm Zhao Hong's judgment!
In the silence, the three of us only heard a shrill cat howling above our heads!Immediately afterwards, I saw red light all over my eyes, which stained all the scenery red with blood!

During the sudden change, I hurriedly raised my head and looked in the direction of the light source, only to see the "Bright Lamp King" standing impressively on top of the two-person "stone man" on Laoqi Road!
The red worms on its tail are more than twice as bright as before!And the old cat's eyes also changed from the original faint blue to the same crimson red as the bloodworm.

Lamp King, turned into a searchlight!
