Chapter 9 Linduo's village was attacked
Chapter 9 Linduo's village was attacked
Rick has gone off to battle.
Of course, he did not go to fight alone, he was accompanied by young warriors who volunteered to join the war.
Even the weak Linduo, when faced with a life-and-death moment, will pick up their unskilled weapons to protect important people, and stand in front of them fearlessly.
"Rik has already told me everything about the sorcerer. I didn't expect..."
The village chief sighed guiltily.
The sorcerer who came from the big tribe had been lurking in their village for several years, and they had been living with such a terrifying Gurongi for such a long time.
It’s chilling to think about it.
To this day, no matter what the sorcerer's purpose was, since he has been defeated by Riku's transformed "Kuga", will the "Grongi" tribe also know about this?
Because of the fear of Gurongi's revenge and the encouragement brought by killing the first Gurongi, the elders, after careful discussion, finally decided to attack first!
So just yesterday morning.
Rick sets out with the gathered warriors.
"Really? You set off yesterday..."
After listening to this, Kawahara was silent for a while, then asked in a confused tone, "What was his condition at that time?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the person beside him hesitantly, then lowered his voice and said, "The soldiers must have gone there with the determination to die..."
Although he intentionally kept his voice low.
But the girl still caught this sentence clearly.
Mio's body was shaking. She couldn't bear it any longer and covered her face with her hands. She sobbed sadly, which made the village chief very embarrassed and at a loss.
He deliberately swallowed his pride and coaxed and deceived the little girl for two days.
As a result, Kawahara brought the person over to confront him.
Although the truth cannot be buried forever.
But at least we can delay it for a while. What if the soldiers really win a great victory and return alive?
Although the weak Linduo also found it hard to believe this.
Kawahara suddenly said, "Village Chief, you said before that there was another spirit stone. Now that things have come to this, can you take it out and let me see it?"
He wants to try...
Try to see if the other spirit stone can be absorbed by him to suppress the damaged Agur belt in his body.
Because he really wanted to finish off Gurongi...
This thing is just like the cockroaches that Guangdong people hate the most. If there is a chance to exterminate cockroaches in the Cretaceous period, why not do it?
The village chief nodded when he heard this: "Sure, I'll get it for you."
The third "spiritual stone" was stored in the village chief's room. He quickly took it out and opened the stone box which was not sealed at all. A copper-green round gem was revealed inside.
After this gem was revealed.
Miou, who was still crying, suddenly looked up and said, "This thing... is very warm. It can help my brother!"
Kawahara, who was about to reach out to take it, said: "..."
——You put me in a dilemma.
However, Kawahara still took the green spirit stone in his hand. However, in just a moment, he realized that this spirit stone could not repair his Agul belt.
It was even absorbing his power in return.
Kawahara felt a heat in his abdomen, and the power of the spirit stone flowed down his arm to the green spirit stone.
Hey! It's the opposite of Tiangang!
Kawahara immediately placed the green spirit stone in Mio's hand.
Miou held it in his hands in confusion.
"How do you feel?" Kawahara asked.
"I am not sure as well……"
Miou touched the round stone in his hand: "But... it's very warm. It will definitely help my brother. I also hope it can help my brother."
As Mio finished speaking, the green spirit stone in her hand emitted a faint light, then flew directly into the air, broke through the paper-pasted window, and disappeared into the horizon.
The other two people in the room: "..."
Kawahara didn't even have time to react before the spirit stone flew away like a streak of light.
The village chief was even more confused.
Miou also looked at a loss: "What happened? Did I...did I do something? I'm sorry..."
Kawahara, who vaguely sensed that the spirit stone was moving away, shook his head, but then realized that Miou couldn't see it, so he added: "No, you did a good job."
That spirit stone should have gone to find Rick.
After it flew out of the window, Kawahara saw that the spirit stone extended into a beetle-like shape.
This also reminded him of something.
Golem, Kuuga's fighting partner.
No wonder the green spirit stone just absorbed the spirit stone power in his body. After all, if the energy is insufficient, the armor evolved from Golem will turn into a pile of stones and go on strike directly.
But after absorbing his power, he ran off to help others (Kuga), which makes him seem a bit of a heartless person.
"Is it going to help its brother?" Mio asked at this time.
"Well, it is."
Kawahara answered in the affirmative.
Mio seemed to be comforted.
Kawahara looked at her. In fact, he suspected that there might be a "mysterious power" hidden in Mio's body. Just like he could obtain the information he wanted through his thoughts, perhaps Mio also had a similar ability.
"Mio, you said before—"
Kawahara wanted to find out.
But at this moment, he seemed to sense a creepy sense of crisis, so that his whole body instinctively tensed up.
Miou seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help but nervously said, "Lord Kawahara, what's wrong?"
thump--
Thump—thump—
Kawahara didn't say anything, his eyes just stared out the window, watching the bright sunlight distort into arcs.
Although there was nothing in the distance, he seemed to have seen the rising smoke and the slightly shaking gravel on the ground.
At this moment, his heart beat heavily and quickly, so fast that it even made him feel a little difficult to breathe, and his whole body became extremely heavy.
"Kawahara-sama!"
Miou grabbed his hand in a panic.
Kawahara seemed to come to his senses suddenly. He looked down at the girl's bright but empty eyes, and then immediately looked at the village chief.
"Village chief, do we have a cellar? Go and take everyone to hide immediately. It would be even better if we can leave this place right away!"
"What...what do you mean?"
The village chief opened his cloudy eyes and looked extremely confused.
Kawahara brushed Miou's hand away and said as he walked outside, "Maybe Gurongi is here. I'll go check it out first."
The village chief looked at his leaving back. After a long while, his old face began to tremble and fear appeared in his eyes.
——Gurongi!
This is a murderous race that can make Lin Duo extremely terrified just by hearing its name.
But why did Gurongi appear at this time?
All the warriors are out!
Could it be that the warriors of Lindo have been defeated, so Gurongi has also launched a vengeful rage against the village?
This result is simply unimaginable.
……
Kawahara was also thinking about this.
The only ones who could cause a reaction in the Spiritual Stone in his body, besides Kuuga's "Yamadam" and "Golem", were the Gurongi, whose power came from the same source as the "Spiritual Stone".
But the two times he met B1 and the sorcerer Gurongi, neither of them caused such a strong shock in his heart.
This kind of horrifying emotion could only be felt when he lost control of his mind.
That is a fear comparable to "death".
This is definitely not a normal situation.
At noon, smoke from cooking fires rose from everywhere in the village, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
Kawahara ran all the way to the houses outside the village, and then he clearly felt a vibration coming from the ground, as if something very heavy was stepping on the ground.
There was a rotten smell coming from the other side of the forest. In the midday sun, gray smoke was floating in the woods.
He stared blankly at the woods outside the village and subconsciously took two steps towards that direction.
But not for a while.
Kawahara suddenly turned his head and looked at a roof.
The girl in a white cotton and linen dress sat on the wall. She also looked at the forest expressionlessly, then looked down at the river below. "The Kikiru game has begun."
After the girl said this calmly, a meaningless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Kikiru Game - A killing evolution game that Gurongi launched against the Lindo clan in order to strengthen his own power.
For Gurongi, it's a game.
Yu Linduo is just a disaster.
And what B1 said here made Kawahara even more certain that the Gurongi army really launched an attack on the village!
Remembering what the sorcerer said after he was exposed, Kawahara suddenly looked at B1 intently.
"You let the sorcerer choose Rick as the warrior because you knew that Rick had no will to fight, so you did it on purpose from the beginning, right?" he asked in a dry voice.
"what?"
However, B1 tilted his head and said, "Weak ants have no right to participate in the game. I think she stayed in your village to find other ways to evolve."
In other words, it was a completely spontaneous action taken by the sorcerer after he separated from the Gurongi tribe.
As for the so-called means of evolution...
Kawahara immediately thought of the golem spirit stone.
"You killed her." B1 suddenly said again.
"..."
Hearing this, Kawahara clenched his fists and stared at her warily.
B1 just looked at him and murmured, "How strange! You are totally unlike a Lindo. You actually killed her."
For a weak race like the Lindo, it was already interesting to Gurongi that they could muster the courage to fight, but what was even more surprising was that the Lindo would actually kill.
This was undoubtedly something incredible to Baluba, who had been observing Lindo for a long time.
Seeing that she had no intention of fighting, Kawahara stopped talking nonsense. He had to quickly notify the people in the village to retreat!
"It's useless. You can't change it."
Baluba looked at him running back indifferently.
……
……
"Grunge is coming to the village! Hurry and get everyone to hide!"
Whenever he met someone on the road, Kawahara would immediately grab that person and repeat this sentence, although everyone who heard this sentence looked confused and helpless.
But since he had confirmed that his perception was correct, Kawahara immediately ran back to the village center and found the village chief and a group of elders in the meeting room.
"Don't discuss this! Gurongi will be here soon, let everyone hide first, or leave the village immediately!"
“Is…is this true?”
"But our soldiers have already..."
"Gurungi is so powerful, and now that the warriors have left the village, where can we hide?"
All the Lindos started to panic.
They didn't expect Gurongi to come so suddenly.
It just so happened that all the soldiers had left the village. Now in the entire village, perhaps only some young and old laborers were left who could fight.
Kawahara is now also feeling overwhelmed.
He only slept for two days, and the entire Linduo village died quietly!
Which tribe would send all its young and strong men to a war, leaving only the old, weak and young in the base camp, without even any defensive combat power!
Oh, it’s the super ancient Linduo tribe?
That seems to be no problem.
"Let's notify everyone first!"
Kawahara could only emphasize this matter with a serious expression.
Although Lin Duo was weak, he would not just wait to die when faced with a disaster. Soon several young men ran out to tell others what had happened.
Just like boiling water, the whole Linduo village was in an uproar.
A girl in a white dress stood on a high place.
She watched the panic spreading in the village expressionlessly, then slightly tilted her head and followed the muddy road leading from the village to the outside world, meeting the gaze of a tall and wild figure at the end.
Then, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly in an inexplicable arc.
……
Before Gurongi arrived.
The greatest disaster the village suffered was a natural disaster, the so-called man-made disaster and war. This might be their first personal experience.
The catastrophic disasters heard from other tribes and the sacrifices witnessed during this period were far less shocking to the Lindos who did not often leave the village than actually facing the Gurongi.
The ground vibration gradually increased, and then with a loud rumbling sound, a cloud of dust rushed towards the Linduo village.
Those were the Gurongis who were roaring and running towards them excitedly.
They are a group of real monsters.
Humanoid monsters were running wildly in distorted postures; spiders, cheetahs, locusts, bats, strange fish, poisonous bees... countless strange and bizarre creatures revealed their true forms in the smoke and dust.
The smell of decay came like a flood.
The monsters rushed into Linduo's village, crashed into the surrounding houses, and then laughed hideously amid screams of terror.
Blood and death quickly spread.
These long-suffering low-level Gurongis will only kill based on their instincts, but Kikiru's game still needs to unfold, so higher-level Gurongis will not hesitate to kill those of their own kind who are in the way.
This is a killing feast like hell!
……
Where else can the Lindos escape to?
Ordinary people simply cannot outrun some monsters. Even if they hide in a cellar, they will probably be caught by some Gurongi with special abilities.
Some people who stayed in the village held farming tools in their hands, listened to the screams and laughter coming from all directions, and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and lined up in an arc with trembling bodies to block the road leading to the center of the village.
This is where the tribe’s people are most concentrated. The children have been hidden, but the adults cannot hide.
It's impossible to hide them all.
"Kawahara-sama..."
"Shh-"
Kawahara put Mio's head into the cellar, looked into her dazed and panicked eyes, and whispered: "Use your ability to get Rick back as soon as possible."
"Can we wait until brother?"
"Yes, Kuga is very fast and powerful, and he will definitely be able to defeat all the Gurongi."
"but……"
Anxious Mio wanted to say something, but Kawahara, who heard the noise outside, had already covered the cellar and moved the stone table over.
After doing all this, he turned and looked outside the door.
He didn't want to hide with everyone else.
Because he has a spirit stone in his body.
Then in Gurongi's eyes, it would probably be as obvious as a candlelight in the dark night.
As for whether Mio has similar abilities to him, and whether he can summon Riku back by telepathy, this is just Kawahara's speculation.
It doesn't matter whether I come back or not...
After he walked out of the house.
I saw the Lindos standing in front of me with trembling legs.
And it stopped at the village altar square, its tall figure almost obscured the sun in the sky.
Standing in the backlight was a huge horse with a ferocious aura, and on its back sat a burly strange man with a white body. His exposed body was covered with copper-gold armor, his shoulders were disheveled, and his face looked like a ghost with fangs.
An almost suffocating wave of oppression spread from him.
And around this four or five meter tall monster, there gathered a group of hideous and evil Gurongi.
Compared to those monster Gurongis who only know how to kill, these Gurongis still maintain their original human appearance and have the rationality to suppress their fighting instinct.
Because they understood the real purpose of attacking Linduo Village.
And after seeing this real group of Gurongi people who looked strange, even unkempt, and like refugees.
In a trance, Kawahara's thoughts wandered off for a moment.
He didn't expect that B1, who seemed rather unruly (unkempt) to him, was actually one of the Gurongis who kept himself well groomed...
At least B1 will wear clothes that he thinks are beautiful.
……
……
In the Kuuga SIC novel, after Riku left, the killing in Rindo Village lasted for a week, and Mio, who faced Daguba, survived to the end.
So I think (second setting), the village was probably conducting the "Kikiru Game" at that time, so the Rindos were killed for a week, and Mio, as Kuga's sister, might have been left as a special sacrifice by Daguba until the end.
