Unlike Schliemann and Apton who ran out of the hall, this borer directly broke open the side door of the hall and rushed out. Along the way, it also kicked away a few people who had no time to escape.
"It's too fast! You can't run away!"
"No! It's too big and can't be beaten!"
Apton did not believe in evil, so he turned around and raised his sword to strike at the forelimbs of the giant borer beast. However, the borer seemed to have sufficient combat experience and even changed its direction halfway to avoid Apton's slashing attack.
Apton, who had already jumped up to dodge, was heartbroken when he saw this scene.
With such a body shape and such high agility, this is not a species that a weapon like a sword can deal with.
Schliemann had already seen the blow just now. He raised his gun and shot the borer behind him.
The fire was accompanied by a thunderous explosion, and the borer beast was hit in the chest, but that only caused it to throw out a few pools of black liquid, nothing more.
"Mad! I'll go back and be a door cannon!"
Apton flew up and down, slashing continuously, and the sword light was like blazing white rain, but it could only leave a few scars on the body of the giant borer beast.
"Let's go, let's go! Don't fight! You can't fight!"
As if to confirm Schliemann's words, Apton's slash was caught in the middle by the borer behemoth, and the claw struck straight down at Apton in mid-air.
Schliemann said "Ah". He wanted to shoot but it was too late to turn the barrel.
There was a sound in the air, and the head of the giant borer beast was hit with black liquid splashing everywhere. Its body stagnated, but it still slapped its claws down.
This moment of lag was enough for Ampton to escape. After he landed, he suddenly dodged sideways, and the smashed stone bricks on the road flew up.
"Hey! What is this?"
Selu shouted from the roof of the cave in the distance, twirling her sling in her hand.
"Good throw! Keep throwing!"
Schliemann yelled and ran wildly, and Apton also looked embarrassed. The moment just now really almost killed him.
Two consecutive blasts of sound rang through the air, and the behemoth borer raised its arms to protect its face, making these two high-speed stone bullets ineffective.
It lifted up a stone brick while running, and with a flick of its shoulder, the stone brick, which was as tall as a person, hit Selu.
The two children who were chipping away at the stone were scared away long ago, and Selu quickly jumped down from the roof of the cave.
Huge stone bricks destroyed the cave, and the shattered and flying rocks hit Selu on the head, causing her to grimace in pain.
"No, no one can run away if this continues...Ampton! Try your best! Use whatever tricks you have!"
Ampton glanced at Schliemann and said, "I can't do it alone."
"Let's hold this ghost thing down! Selu! Go on!"
Selu is good at throwing things, but not very good at catching them.
The simple wooden box with patterns passed between her hands, and was kicked by her while running, sending it flying forward.
"Don't open it again, you must not open that thing!"
Selu picked up the wooden box and continued running.
"No, where should I run?"
"Out of town!"
"Aren't the roads all broken?"
"Just run, and hide it when there's no way out!"
Selu no longer looked back. Schliemann and Apton were already fighting the giant borer. Every extra step she ran was fought for by the two of them at the risk of their lives.
She ran to the edge of Dark Star City, found a tunnel and ran in.
Entering the tunnel, those annoying roars finally became smaller and smaller, and finally could not be heard. Only then did she remember to look at the thing she was holding.
When she saw it, she gasped and fell to the ground, and the wooden box rolled far away.
Not only had she seen this thing before, she had even dug one out of the mud during the heavy rain a few days ago.
She clearly remembered what kind of promise the whisper from the wooden box made to her.
She rushed towards the wooden box and picked it up.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
After carefully asking this question, there was a long silence, so silent that she could even hear her own heartbeat.
She put her ear against the box, and there was silence inside.
Crow's words echoed in her mind.
"Go, get on that flying ship! Perform your mission! When you return, your lover will be waiting for you here."
Selu was in a daze, looking around and shouting to the sky: "But what is my mission?! That talking crow! Where did you go?"
Selu stood up, neither running nor running.
She really likes the exploration life on the flying boat, but she also really hopes to bring Webb back from the dead.
She looked at the wooden box anxiously and discovered something different about this wooden box.
The wooden box dug out in the heavy rain had a relief carving of a strange eye, and the relief carving on this wooden box was a fang.
"Could it be that it's not this box... No, does my mission have nothing to do with the box?
No, what if it matters?
How to do how to do……"
Just when she didn't know how to decide, there was a sound of footsteps deep in the cave.
Selu immediately pulled out the knife and broke away from her companions. She entered the state of revenge again.
The light of the torch was very dim. After looking at it for a long time, Selu realized that it was Walter, and that Walter was carrying a disheveled Mersin on his back.
Walter saw the box that Selu was holding. He had heard about Schlieman's journey to the Sky Island of the Vulcan Cult and knew what it was.
With a cold face, he grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the hand holding Mersin loosened, and Mersin fell to the ground with a whoosh.
"Where's the king?"
"What?"
Selu saw that Walter's face looked wrong, and she would not let down her guard. She grabbed the knife above her head, as if she was ready to throw it.
"Ampton, where is he?"
"He was with the captain, trying to hold off the giant borer."
"Both borers? Have they already entered?"
"It has been killed a long time ago. If the borer comes looking for this thing again, the captain asked me to take it far away and find a place to hide it."
Walter squinted his eyes, seeming to judge how credible Selu's words were.
At this moment, a roar came into the cave. This roar was heard by Walter. It was the roar of the borer when it was chasing him.
This roar seemed to make Selu, who was wavering in her heart, make up her mind. She put away the knife and ran away.
"No, I have to leave. If there is any misunderstanding, let's wait until this matter is over!"
"Hey!"
Walter tried to call Selu, but Selu had no intention of stopping, so he had to rely on his own speed to force the opponent to stop.
"How can you run without a torch? Also, how can you come back if you don't know the way? Take Mersin with you."
"But she..."
"I can do it, let's go."
Mersin stood up while rubbing her butt and patted her head as if to show the two of them that she was in good condition.
