But... let them go to the floating island, so if there is an accident, wouldn't he be finished? Although this idea is a bit greedy for life and fear of death, he does have a reason why he cannot die.

Thinking like this... After finishing the portrayal... He simply told the two of them how and why he actually came here, and also told the underground things and suggested that they should go back first.

Originally thought that they would be somewhat hesitant to face the question of whether they should go back first, at the same time as they were surprised by the reason why they were here.

"Although I'm very grateful for your intention to protect us, but I'm sorry, we can't leave the expedition and escape alone, because protecting others has always been the mission of our golden fairies, our seniors... our family members, sisters, all do this, So we can't betray their persistence and shame on them."

"...Is that so? Let's just pretend I didn't say it."

Carrying a mission is unwilling to betray the previous deceased. Although this idea was accidentally ignored, Yongye can understand this idea. After all, this kind of thinking also exists in the general army, and this kind of thing occurs in children. Something that surprised him.

The reason why he didn't insist is that these golden fairies have been cultivated as weapons since childhood. After so many years, the tradition of protecting others has been passed down, and... they don't have the desire to survive by running away, although it is There is danger, but they don't have the fear of death that most people have.

In other words... They take their own lives very lightly, not like Yong Ye.

"I'm sorry, it's our duty to kill or be killed."

With apology and unshakable determination, Randolke bowed deeply with Noft to apologize, and at the same time persuaded Yong Ye.

"We are very grateful that you can protect us, but our mission is to protect others, how can we be protected? If the underground situation is really bad, then you should go back first."

"...I will think about it when the time comes, but for now, let's forget it."

Knowing that these two children are different from others and have a weak concept of their own life, Yong Ye didn't say any more, anyway, it's meaningless.

It's just that when the situation is bad, do you really want to escape alone?

This question kept popping up in Yong Ye's mind, but he couldn't be sure for a while, so he could only think about it later.

During dinner in the morning, because the real reason why he was here was known, the two girls looked at him, and the look in his eyes changed a lot, um... Compared with last night, they became more intimate.

"Uncle, I saved the roast horse meat for you as a snack yesterday."

The three of them gathered around the table tomboy Noft, smiling and handing him the only horse meat skewer at the scene, while the rest were naturally plain.

Yesterday, a horse was killed, and the meat was almost eaten yesterday. Randolke was also very surprised that Noft could have one left.

"No, forget it, I only experienced a farewell party when I came down, and I just had a big fish and meat."

"Hey? Don't you?"

Noft stared straight at the horse meat, a drooling look.

"No, eat it yourself."

To tell the truth, even if he thought of it, Novot himself looked like that, and Yong Ye couldn't bear to grab something from her, so he could only pick up the potatoes and start eating.

…

That's it... On the sixth day, the first medium-sized airships to transfer the victims were about to arrive, in the early morning before dawn.

In the ruined area near the tent area, the patrolling sentry yawned and was dissatisfied with being assigned to patrol at this time, so he scolded and threw the cigarette **** into a hole in the ruined area, which seemed to be deep, and then went about it as if nothing had happened. gone.

The third beast in the ground was not hit by a cigarette **** when it was running around underground, but it noticed the smell of smoke, followed the smell to the location of the cigarette butt, and then traced the smell from the mouth of the hole. climbed out.

The third beast that got out of the soil looked around for a while, and then looked at the tent area. Perhaps it felt the popularity and let out an excited neigh.

I didn't wait too long... A hole appeared in the sand on the side.

Then soon there was another one, and then there were continuous openings in the sand, and one after another openings continued to emerge.

It didn't take long for a large number of sixth and second beasts to appear. They climbed up from under the sand and rushed to the tent area silently.

The first to die was the Sentinel.

The sentinel of the wolf levy was holding a rifle. When he saw something abnormal in the distance, he took two steps forward, but he was suddenly tied into a hornet's nest by the second beast that burrowed out of the sand. died.

The second sentinel pointed in horror at the second beast with people on it, but was unable to make a sound because of excessive fear, completely forgetting his duty as a sentinel.

There is no way... The members of the wingguard army of these expeditions are different from the second division that participated in the war against the sixth beast on the Floating Island Continent, but they have never seen beasts or blood, and even the training of the sixth division is quite negligent. The people in the group were already frightened and dumbfounded when they saw the terrifying beast at this moment, and they did not remember any extra things at all.

I just thought of what the salvage consultant said earlier, that the fourth beast that destroyed the airship relies on sound and movement to find its prey. If it does not move, the probability of being attacked will be much smaller.

But... he didn't know that it was just the fourth beast. No one knew what the second and sixth beasts were relying on to find their targets, but whether it was holding their breath, pretending to be dead, or hiding in a blind spot behind the door, it was the same. Actions are meaningless. As long as people are still alive, they cannot escape their hunting.

Chapter 27 Hope? despair?

Not long after the first victim appeared, the second victim also appeared soon. The sound still did not come out, and the two sentries died worthless.

And Yong Ye was also awakened by his intuition at this time. The huge killing intent in groups made him unable to fall asleep even if he wanted to sleep, although it was difficult for him to fall asleep.

When I opened my eyes, I could feel the weight of the girl leaning on him on the left and right because the weather was too cold.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yong Ye immediately stood up, causing the two girls to bump into each other and let out two overlapping screams.

"At night... Uncle, what are you doing? If you go to the toilet, just say it..."

"It's really not a gentleman...you will definitely be single for life like this..."

Noft rubbed his head and complained first, and then Lan Duo Ke, who was drowsy and obviously still awake, and said something that Yong Ye didn't know how to evaluate.

However, he is not in the mood to care about such trivial matters now, but quickly removes the rifle that is always on his shoulders and loads the bullet.

"Don't complain, the beasts in the ground have found us! We are surrounded now. If you don't want to become a beast's breakfast, get ready to fight immediately... Although I feel like I can't beat it."

"---what?!"

"The beast appeared??"

The two girls were stunned for a while. Although they didn't know how Yong Ye knew about it, they still chose to believe his judgment. They hurriedly lifted the blanket, found their holy sword, and untied the white cloth on the holy sword. Lose.

Yong Ye stepped out of the tent before them, raised his gun and aimed at the second beast that was about to rush into the tent in the distance, ready to attack from a distance first, and then close combat when it got close.

The second beast, which looks like a python but has hard thorns on its skin, was about to spit the thorns to tear open the tent, but at this moment, a beam of golden light hit the pioneer second beast from a distance. , blowing his head off.

The sound of gunshots, one beat slower, resounded through the entire camp at the same time as the second beast, which was not as strong as the sixth beast, fell to the ground.

"---what's going on?!"

The people in the camp rushed out when they heard the gunshots, and when they looked around, they quickly found the beast in the distance.

"—That...then that...what is that!?"

"That's the beast? The beast appeared?!!"

The chaotic screams resounded through the ground, and the expedition members fled in panic in the direction where the beast appeared, hoping to stay away from those monsters.

There are non-combatants who want to get out of here as soon as possible, even if it is a second earlier, but there are also combatants who try to summon the courage and want to repel the enemy.

In addition to fear, many soldiers kept pulling the trigger, but... this behavior was meaningless.
