Chapter 175 Greatsword
Unexpectedly, what reached the man's ears was not the splattering sound of flesh being pierced, but the clanging sound of a sharp blade blocking.
What happened?
The man opened his eyes with a nervous heart, and what came into view was a huge figure wearing armor.
This is........
"What are you standing there for? Run!"
Dopp turned away from Knight's shoulder and looked at the dazed man. She sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Thank you so much!!"
The man was clearly still reeling from his near-death experience. It wasn't until Dopp reminded him that he snapped out of his daze and looked at Knight and Dopp, who had saved him. He burst into tears of joy.
What the man didn't notice was that his sincere gratitude made Dopna's face, hidden under his black robe, turn bright red, even redder than an apple.
"Even if you do this, I won't be very happy!"
Stuttering, Dopp turned around and said thank you and such... She couldn't stand it.
However, when she turned around, her expression became serious again, because Knight was now locked in a tense standoff with the manticore.
boom!
Under the immense pressure of the manticore, Knight's body sank slightly, and the ground was crushed by gravity. Seeing this, Dop couldn't help but frown.
"Hold on tight."
Knight let out a low groan, then suddenly exerted force, instantly throwing the manticore that had been suppressing him off balance and sending it staggering backward. Knight seized the opportunity and kicked the manticore directly in the face.
boom!
Knight crashed into the mantis like a bull, kicking the mantis lion several meters away.
Call ~
A breath of hot air was exhaled through the armor, indicating that the attack just now was not easily unleashed.
"This guy doesn't look weak. Can you handle him?"
Knight did not answer Dopp immediately, but slowly lowered the weapon he had just used to parry the manticore.
Boom~
Looking at it again, the weapon was enormous, much taller than Knight when it stood upright. The weapon was wrapped in bandages, but when Knight put his hand on the bandages and pulled, the bandages came off, revealing a broad greatsword!
This weapon doesn't look like something an ordinary person would use. When it's held by someone who doesn't look ordinary either, an aura as imposing as a mountain comes over you. Even the powerful scorpion lion couldn't help but be forced back two steps by this aura.
And at that moment, he also answered Dopp's question:
"can!"
..................
boom! ! !
A loud bang was heard, and the people who were dividing up the obsidian crystals all looked up. However, they did not see the scorpion lion, but instead saw someone who surprised them greatly.
"You...you're not dead?"
"What about the manticore?"
"Could it be... could it be that you brought that manticore back?"
When the decoy man returned, the others were shocked. They immediately thought it was impossible, assuming that the man had deserted and brought the manticore back with him.
However, they looked left and right but couldn't find any trace of the manticore, which puzzled them greatly.
However, the man did not answer them, but stared blankly at his son who was left aside.
"you......"
The man clenched his fists, his chest heaving several times until his face turned red before he finally uttered a sentence:
"it is good."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more. He simply led his son, who had walked over, to the man with the afro and extended his hand.
Upon seeing this action, the man with the afro froze. He knew the man was asking for something, but he didn't want to give it to him.
People are always greedy. After the scramble, almost everyone in their team got a share, and no one wanted to give up their share anymore. Even if they had more after they recovered, what if it wasn't enough?
Even if it were enough, they knew how much obsidian was being sold for, and compared to that, the life of a stranger seemed insignificant.
"you you you!"
Looking at the expression on the man's face, he quickly understood, but the more he saw it, the angrier he became.
You don't even care about your son, and now you're not even giving me a chance to live!
Enraged, the man couldn't help but reach out and grab the man with the afro, but he was no match for him. After only a few exchanges, he was kicked to the ground.
"father!"
Seeing his father being kicked down, the boy rushed over crying, grabbed his father's arm with both hands, and tried his best to pull his father up.
"fine....."
"fine......"
Although he kept saying he was fine, the father's eyes were fixed on the man with the afro, and his terrifying gaze made even the man with the afro tremble.
Fortunately, the man with the afro did not take any further action. He simply gave the father and son an apologetic look before turning and leaving.
Silence fell over the valley once more. The father lay on the ground, his face filled with despair. Surprisingly, the son did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, he rested his little head on his father's shoulder, as if he were speaking silently.
It's okay, you've done more than enough.
As if he had thought of something, the father suddenly hugged his son and began to sob softly.
"Woo..."
"Ugh..."
The son didn't cry; he just lay quietly in his father's arms, and after a long time, they both fell into a deep sleep.
"Are you OK?"
The sudden words of concern startled the father from his nightmare. He instinctively hugged his son and then looked up.
It was a giant, as tall as a tower, who, simply by standing there, blocked out the sun above, casting the father and son entirely in shadow.
"you......."
Upon seeing that it was the benefactor who had just helped him escape danger, the father was about to express his gratitude when the giant shushed him.
"Don't wake the child."
The giant uttered a soft voice that was completely out of character for his size, a contrast that startled the father. While he was still in a daze, a black crystal fell into his arms.
"this!"
The father certainly recognized what it was, and it was precisely because he recognized it that he became so excited. But when he came to his senses and looked up at the giant man, he found that he was only left with his back to the man.
Moreover, judging from his tiptoeing movements, it seemed that he was afraid of waking someone up.
Suddenly, the father felt a surge of tears welling up, but he didn't cry out loud; he just choked up silently.
Without the giant man's shield, the sun shone on the two of them once again.
................
"Now that we've got the items, shall we head back?"
Inside the valley, the group, having already divided the obsidian crystals equally, decided to head back, as the further they went into Blackrock Cliff, the more dangerous it became.
They came to the valley intending to seek medical treatment, and now that they have found the necessary materials, there is no reason for them to stay any longer.
As for the rare items inside Blackrock Cliff, they would have to be alive to get them. The group of them were not very strong; a single scorpion lion would be enough to wipe them out. It would be a loss for them.
Besides, they have quite a few obsidian crystals on hand, and they might even have some left over after the treatment.
The suggestion to return was unanimously agreed upon, but just as they were about to set off, the man with the largest obsidian crystal, the one with the afro, suddenly spoke up:
"What are you doing?"
"Did you go to the wrong place?"
"Shouldn't it be this way?"
After saying that, the man with the afro pointed with a puzzled expression to a spot completely opposite to the others, and that spot...
It's deep inside Black Rock Cliff!
