After just over ten seconds, Du Yuqi was exhausted and pinned down. The rat-headed assassin's eyes flashed with viciousness. He slowly lowered his head, making a "hoohoo" sound from his throat, and his sharp white teeth were getting closer and closer to Du Yuqi's neck.
At this critical moment, a figure rushed out from the side, holding a basketball-sized stone in both hands and smashed it hard at the back of the rat-headed man's head! The sound of the stone hitting the back of the rat-headed man's head with a "bang" was really creepy.
The rat-headed man was suddenly hit hard, and blood immediately flowed out of his eyes, nostrils, and ear holes. His eyes rolled back and he froze. Du Yuqi immediately took advantage of the situation and kicked him away, then rolled on the ground several times, grabbed the sword that was knocked away and stabbed it forward, instantly piercing the rat-headed man's heart.
The rat-headed man held the sword blade tightly with both hands, looking extremely unwilling. He looked at Du Yuqi with resentment, slowly lowered his head, and kept gnawing on the blade of the sword with his teeth. Even with blood all over his mouth and broken teeth, he still refused to stop. The terrible friction sound was really creepy.
The muscles on Du Yuqi's face trembled violently for a few times. He pointed the sword at the back and pulled it hard, then took a step forward and kicked the rat-headed man in the chest. The rat-headed man staggered a few steps and fell off the cliff face up...
After successfully killing the rat-headed assassin, Du Yuqi staggered twice, feeling that he was about to collapse. He suddenly fell into the mud and gasped for breath. Only then did he have time to look back to see who had come to help him, and then he immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"Oh my god! Qiuzi, it turned out to be you. I was so worried. I heard someone screaming earlier and it sounded like you!"
"Get lost, do I look like I'm going to die soon? I haven't had enough of the big steamed buns stuffed with chives in the second cafeteria yet! But you, it looks like you deserve to be sent directly to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit), are you okay?"
“…”
It turned out that the person who jumped out and hit the rat-headed assassin with a stone was Zhao Qiuyu, who came to the Arad continent with Du Yuqi. He did not seem to adapt to this world at an astonishing speed like Du Yuqi, and he himself had surprising changes under the pressure of being on the verge of life and death.
However, Zhao Qiuyu's characteristic is that he has a tenacious vitality like weeds, and more importantly, he is also inconspicuous like weeds. Therefore, he now seems to live a much more comfortable and carefree life than Du Yuqi.
Du Yuqi stood up from the muddy ground with a grin on his face, stretched his arms and legs, and then let out a sigh:
"It's okay, it's okay, they're just superficial injuries, no broken bones. I've found out that we were summoned to this world, and we can go back when the time comes. Once I get back, I'll go straight to the infirmary and get a few shots of plague vaccine, rabies vaccine, and tetanus vaccine. Whoever comes to this damn place again will be..."
Du Yuqi did not finish his last sentence. When the word "grandson" was about to come out of his mouth, the laughing face of Heifu suddenly flashed by. He suddenly remembered the mechanic Mecca who was seriously introducing various mechanical devices to him. He suddenly remembered the figure of Instructor Golas fighting bloody battles, and the cruelty and determination when he was covering his retreat!
He suddenly couldn't help but ask himself, can I really let go of all this? Can I really never come back again?
Zhao Qiuyu looked at Du Yuqi's changing expression and didn't say much, but said worriedly:
"Let's go quickly, maybe this rat monster will chase us!"
"Great!" Du Yuqi suddenly came back to his senses from his confused thoughts. He couldn't help but look back worriedly, and found that there was still no movement in the mist. He let out a long sigh, then pulled his feet out of the mud with difficulty, and continued to walk forward with Zhao Qiuyu.
The two had just walked five or six steps, and Zhao Qiuyu was walking in front. Here the mountain road turned a sharp bend and there was a high ridge. After Zhao Qiuyu climbed up, he turned around and reached out to pull Du Yuqi. However, just as Du Yuqi was about to hold Zhao Qiuyu's hand and climb up, he heard Zhao Qiuyu shouting anxiously:
"careful!!"
Then he suddenly jumped down from the high ridge and pushed Du Yuqi away with both hands!
Du Yuqi stumbled back two steps, finally stabilizing himself in the slippery mud, and then he saw...
Zhao Qiuyu stood there in a daze. A kunai filled with black energy was deeply stabbed into his forehead! !
His expression at this time also looked very strange, stiff, and blank, but there was a strange upward hook at the corner of his mouth, as if he was showing a sarcastic smile. Then, he fell towards the deep ditch beside him... Du Yuqi's hoarse throat could not make a sound, and the only remaining consciousness made him rush over like a madman...
Caught!
He grabbed Zhao Qiuyu's hand, but at this moment Zhao Qiuyu was like a stone rolling down the hillside, completely losing the breath of life, and even dragged Du Yuqi heavily into the deep ditch.
Under the huge dragging force, Du Yuqi's hand suddenly slipped and he grabbed nothing. He could only watch Zhao Qiuyu's dazed, numb and stiff face quickly go away and disappear in the surging clouds below.
Du Yuqi's mouth was half open, looking at the clouds and mists swirling below the deep ditch. His mind was blank at the moment, and then, as if he had received an electric shock, his brain started to work blankly for a moment. In the chaos, fragments of his ten years of acquaintance with Zhao Qiuyu came to him like snowflakes. They were all trivial things, going to and from school, chatting, the steamed buns in the second cafeteria, the girl in the next class that Qiuzi had a crush on in middle school...
Each of these was a trivial matter that was almost boring, but when added together over more than a decade, it was a burden that Du Yuqi could not bear. Yes, wasn't Du Yuqi's life over the past 19 years made up of these trivial matters?
Some things are very ordinary, even absurd and boring, but to him, that is youth! Some people are very ordinary, and you may not miss them even if they are not by your side, but when he is leaving forever with all the memories of youth... Du Yuqi's expression finally stopped being dull, and blood mist gradually rose in his eyes. He recalled the previous scene, and then he couldn't control himself and clenched his fists until the knuckles turned white. He will never forget it——
It was Zhao Qiuyu who rushed over and pushed him away, otherwise, that kunai would have pierced through the back of his head! This was using his death to exchange for his own life...!!!
