I gripped his head with my feet, pulled out the axe from my waist again, bent down and cut on his face. But he dodged and I nearly landed the axe on my own leg.
I quickly collected my strength, but it grabbed my arm holding the axe and tried to take it away. During the competition, the axe scratched his arm before he let go of his hand. After taking the axe back to my waist, I was only left to breathe. I really have no strength to continue fighting it.
Fortunately, the black monster was also tired, and both sides entered a state of recuperation. The next outcome depends on who attacks again first.
"Brother Fei, climb up quickly, I can hardly find any stones." Li Ding shouted eagerly on me.
"Brother Lu Fei, I'll throw you a spear. Can you catch it?"
I looked up and nodded at Zhang Yutong. I don’t know if I can catch it, but I have to give it a try.
Because of their efforts to drag, the lower part of the rattan rope was nearly three meters away from the ground. The remaining black monsters who didn’t have to avoid rock attacks were now left to watch. The battle had completely turned into a single fight between me and this black monster on the rattan rope.
Seeing that we were all deadlocked, the black monster below jumped and shouted, trying to cheer for the monster on the rattan rope.
"Catch it, brother Lu Fei."
Hearing the shouts, I looked up and saw that Zhang Yutong had stood on the edge of the cliff and dropped her spear. When I received it, the black monster also slowed down, growled, grabbed my feet, pulled out several long marks with sharp claws, and the pain went straight into my bone marrow.
With anger and desire to survive, I tried my best to poke the spear down. He had no place to hide away. The spear went directly through his chest and came out behind it. Blood burst out, the black monster growled twice, his hands lost strength and he fell down directly.
Because of habitual force, I also slipped down a lot, and my palm was burning with pain. It's hard to stabilize, and it's only over one meter away from the ground.
The black monsters set up and I realized that I was almost to be caught by them. But suddenly, the rattan collected a large part on it, leaving them getting nothing. I had no strength, so I can only rely on their efforts, which spent more than ten minutes to dragged me to the high ground.
When I climbed to the ground, I trembled all over and my hands and feet were burning with pain.
We have no energy to care about those monsters. Xu glasses and Li Ding took turns to carry me back. After lying in bed for a while, the chief came with people, he ordered someone to sprinkle some herbal powder on the wound, and wrapped it in fine linen.
I lay down for more than an hour before I recovered. My feet were only scratched, so the problem was not serious. But my hand hurt so much that I did not dare to move them at all.
Zhang Yutong and the other two men stood by the bed together and I asked them to help me up. I asked, "Haven't the chief put Li Wanxue back yet?"
Zhang Yutong shook her head: "Let me find the chief."
I nodded my head, only looking forward to Li Wanxue's return and then we will find a chance to escape from the island. If we continue to fight with the black monster, we will only die on this island.
"Brother Fei, it was my fault that I was too frightened. If I climbed faster, you wouldn't be like this." Li Ding said guiltily.
"You also know that you are useless. If we knew it, we shouldn't have taken you." Xu glasses scolded him vigorously.
"Come on, come on. It's good to come back alive." I looked at Li Ding in disgust: "You have a conscience this time. It doesn't in vain as I tried my best to protect you back. But if you have the courage to go on like this, you will definitely be the first to die on the island."
Li Ding wanted to cry but there was no tears in his eyes: "I was born with little courage. Brother Fei, I will definitely not hurt you again in the future. I will be your younger brother with all my heart."
"All right, all right. You two go out." No matter how sincere he said it, I didn’t think he can be trusted. After living on a desert island, all Li Ding did was actually for one thing-to live.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yutong came back with Li Wanxue, and the chief also brought two aborigines and tortured herbal soup.
When Li Wanxue saw me like this, her tears fell down. She fed me the medicine in person. But I only taste bitter.
After drinking, I asked Li Wanxue to be an interpreter. I have to have a good communication with the chief.
"I didn't expect that even you couldn't deal with the black monster. Fortunately, you returned safely and brought back the bones of our people." The chief said in surprise and relief, "Just have a good rest. No one will embarrass you."
I asked for instructions and said, "Chief, I don't know if the black monster will find a way to get to the highlands. Let's deal with them by feeding human-faced monkeys, otherwise the tribe would definitely suffer a lot."
The chief was silent for a moment and then said, "With so many black monsters, how can our tribe support them? The breeding speed of livestock can't keep up with it at all, and we still have to eat meat ourselves."
"Then what are you going to do?" I'm really worried that he will continue to let me deal with black monsters.
The chief thought for a moment and said, "Don't you have a better way to deal with them?"
"If there were, we wouldn't be like this today." Zhang Yutong shouted discontentedly.
The chief was a little gloomy. I said quickly, "Let me think about it and give me much time. It's better to get some livestock down first and let the black monster settle down for a while. I'm sure I can come up with a good way."
The chief nodded his head and told me to have a good rest and let the people who followed him drag Li Wanxue away.
Zhang Yutong went up to argue, but it didn't help at all.
Their caution disgusted me very much.
Zhang Yutong ran back to the bed and sat down, looking unhappy.
After a long time, Zhang Yutong said, "Brother Lu Fei, the aborigines refused to go with us to deal with the black monster. They only knew how to use us. Are we really going to die for them?"
I stared at her and didn't know what to say. It's not that I don't know what will happen if I continue to fight against the black monster. But how can I leave Li Wanxue and run away with others. I really couldn’t do that.
No matter what she did to me when she was in the company, after living on the desert island, she gave me too many things that I didn't even dare to think about before. In particular, our feelings for each other are very deep. If I leave her, I'm afraid I will feel unease in my life and regret it emotionally all my life.
"You love Wanxue so much, but if you die, what will happen to her?"
"Or..." I tried to say another plan in my heart: "You can run away with Iori Hardo first. You two women together can take care of each other and will not be bullied by men. After I manage to save Li Wanxue, I will go to you."
"I won't do it." Zhang Yutong blinked and tears rolled out: "Now we know nothing about this world except this island. Where can we go? Even if you save her, do you know where to find us? I like you so much, don't you really like me at all, do you?"
"No, I just..." I can't let go of Li Wanxue, and naturally I don't want Zhang Yutong to continue to bear great danger with me.
"Well, you just like her, not me." Zhang Yutong got up crying and went out.
I can't stop sighing a few times, deeply feeling this kind of thing, sometimes too heavy. It's so heavy that you know you can't afford it, but you would rather die than leave it behind.
After resting for two days, I took the initiative to find the chief. We didn't start communicating until Li Wanxue came. After telling the story of the black monster, I proposed to let the tribe fight against the black monster with us. This is the best way to win.
"After thinking for several days, is this the only way you can come up with?" The chief asked in disappointment.
