"Teacher, look over there!"
Because it is dark, you need to use the faint light of the fire to observe carefully in order to see everything here clearly.
A pile of scattered bones and people who fell from the cave ceiling...
Just in the direction Lucille pointed, there was reflective water.
By the way, there must be groundwater so deep underground, and this is a plateau. If it were a normal day, there would be ice and snow outside!
Sean took Lucille's hand and slowly walked forward...
As the light grew brighter, Sean saw two familiar suits of armor at the edge of the underground pond.
The brothers Soren and Thor!
Lucille quickly let go of her hand and ran forward, squatting down to take a look. She took out the few remaining bottles of potion from her burned backpack and prepared to give them to them...
Sean also squatted down hurriedly. At this time, he looked at the health points above the two people's heads and saw that there were still more than 50 points left. He had never seen such a low blood volume except for the dead.
Reach out and feel the other person's breath...
"Can they be saved, Master?"
Sean didn't dare to answer Lucille's question. The amount of blood left was even less than that of the dying people he had seen. How could he talk about rescuing her?
Looking at the other side, Thor only had 30 points of health left.
Looking back, Soran also lost a point...
It has entered the final countdown of life.
"Brother Soren, Brother Soren..." Lucille shook the other's body, but judging from the position of the muscles moving, Sean estimated that both of their bones were broken.
This last bit of health might just be because the mind hasn't completely died yet.
However, Lucille had not given up yet and tried to help Soren up, and Sean also came to help.
The potion purchased from the alchemist in Koga City was poured directly into the other person's mouth, but the person was already unconscious at this time, so it would just flow down. The only possible use was that the potion would flow down the other person's neck and onto the wounds on his arms and body, slightly easing the wounds.
But even if it eases, they are not aware of it.
"They probably fell into this cave last night while fighting the giant insect. Their bodies didn't break apart like the others because their weapons and armor cushioned their fall."
Sean found Soren and Thor's weapons nearby.
Their weapons are ordinary long swords, and not just long swords... There are also various iron props in the bounty hunters' pockets.
Claw guards, iron nails, and even some twisted assassination daggers, etc.
But these things have one side worn flat!
Even their commonly used weapon, the long sword, was broken, and there were traces of wear and tear on the fracture surface.
I looked up again at the top where there was almost no light...
Normally, if it were just an ordinary cave, it would be daytime outside and light would be able to shine in. But this cave was too deep and no light could shine in.
At this depth, these so-called buffer weapons are completely useless. Even Sean and Lucille took a lot of time to fly. In addition to the injuries from the fall, the two brothers could clearly see traces of the black venom left by the giant underground worm on their bodies.
"They...are beyond saving."
The final health points dropped very slowly. After all, if they had fought last night, then the midnight time plus the damage would have meant that they would have had no health points left.
This little bit represents their consciousness.
For many people, even after their bodies have lost all functions, their brains can still function with the last bit of energy provided by the body, and at this time their thoughts can still function, in other words, they can still dream.
However, this situation is simply because they themselves are unwilling to die, and from a physiological point of view, they are already beyond help!
After hearing what Sean said, Lucille also put down the bottle of medicine in her hand. There was still a little bit left, but she didn't use it.
"tutor……"
Lucille turned with a sad expression and her tone softened.
Xiao En understood the other party's intention and hugged the little girl in his arms...
At this time, Lucille was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Unlike the Lucille who would later witness all kinds of separations and deaths, her state of mind was still relatively pure.
"I didn't expect them to end up in this place."
"But they had dinner together last night." Lucille said with red eyes.
It's hard to describe the feeling of two people who were chatting and talking together not long ago passing away in the blink of an eye...
Heavy? Regret?
To be honest, the two of them didn't have a deep friendship with Sauron and Thor, and even their invitation to join them in the dragon taming mission was done with ulterior motives. At the beginning, Sean even thought that the two would turn against him when they actually found the dragon eggs.
However, as we spent a few days together, the gap between us gradually decreased a lot.
Putting aside their mutual suspicions, the two brothers are just ordinary bounty hunters who become bounty hunters for a living and for their foreseeable future.
There is nothing shameful about trying to survive.
But it's a bit sad to see them die like this without finding the dragon eggs yet.
Lucille's eyes were red and she wiped away her tears. She probably felt the same way at the moment.
Fleeting...
This person's life is too fragile.
"Why don't we bury them?"
"Yeah." Sean nodded.
In such a suburban place, many dead adventurers are not truly buried in the dust but are directly cremated, hoping that the light smoke can carry their thoughts to the distance.
Speaking of which, Sean and the others didn't know what the two brothers still cared about in this world, otherwise they could take their belongings and send them to their relatives... I remember that when we talked about it before, they just said that their hometown was remote and they didn't have any relatives, otherwise they wouldn't come out to do this kind of work.
Sighed.
In fact, the two sides have never really understood each other.
Sean and Lucille placed the brothers' bodies together, slightly facing the groundwater.
The fire magic ignited and directly burned the two corpses.
"Goodbye, Brother Soren, Brother Thor... Although we didn't spend much time together, I will remember the days when you gave me your delicious dinner every day. I am very grateful to you. May you have a good destination in your next life." Lucille squatted on the ground and prayed silently.
As the bodies of the two men burned on the spot, a slight breeze from the cave blew the sparks away, causing them to drift into the groundwater and then go out.
The story of the two bounty hunters probably ends here!
There are no achievements worth boasting about, nor are there many stories left for future generations.
Almost like most adventurers in this world...
Emerge from obscurity and die alone in solitude.
Sean looked deep into the cave and it seemed that there was an even deeper area than here.
