Chapter 8 Iron Bone (2)
Izkoyater took Chimalpopoka and Tessomok out of Winchester by digging the cave. Not only the soil underground, but also the hard rocks, which were far from comparable to a city wall. But these stones shattered under the impact of Izkoyater and scattered a passage. He broke through the rocks, but his speed was no longer much slower than running on the ground. Alfred made a mistake: among the three elven magicians of Aztlan, the most burly Chimalpoka was a type that focused on defense, and the strength was the least. He tied up the steel cable of Chimalpoka, and Izkoyater woke up and used some force to break free.
Soon, Izkoyatel pulled Chimal Popoka and Tessomomok out of the hole. It seemed hidden when walking underground, but once the entrance was discovered, it was easily tracked. Moreover, Izkoyatel's remaining physical strength and magic power did not allow him to continue fighting against the rocks.
Chimal Popoka took a deep breath of fresh air, and then cursed: "Those bastards, who are not moral, can only come to cheat and attack! Next time I see them, just open their hearts without saying a word!"
Tessomok fell softly to the ground without saying a word. Izkoyater leaned closer and found that he was still in a coma. I don’t know if it was because the drug was still effective or because the injury was too serious.
"Save some strength, don't yell over there, and lure the enemy over later." Izkoat said, "carry Tratoani and find a place to rest and replenish your magic."
"Okay!" Chimal Popoka put Tesosomok on his shoulder, turned around and remembered something, and pushed Tesosomok's body towards Izkoyatel, "You should be responsible for it!"
Izkoyatel hurriedly caught Tesosomok who was pushed, and then glared at Chimal Popoka: "What's wrong with you? Do you feel wronged when you are in the back of Tratoani?"
"It's not this question, how much magic do you still have?"
"Not much, but it's barely on the verge of the Second Era."
"I have a little more magic than you. The second question is, how much physical strength do you still have now?"
"I recovered a little, but after all, I didn't have a rest for a day and a night of dancing, so it was not very sufficient. What are you asking about this?"
"I'm very energetic! So you should carry Tratoani!"
"Your brain is smoky?" Izkoyatel cursed, "You have a lot of energy, so why should you bear it?"
"Then we have to keep someone with sufficient combat power? Even if you don't have enough energy, you can't bear a Tratoani?"
Izkoyatel was speechless for a moment. But when I thought about it carefully, what Chimal Popoka said was indeed a little reasonable. They are now deeply trapped in the mainland of Britain, and their future is uncertain. There are pursuers later, so they should be left with a new force to deal with the unexpected. Thinking of this, he held up Tessomok and wanted to put him on his back, but the action was not completed yet. He threw Tessomok down again and lay on the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing?" cried Chimal Popoka, "Don't pretend to be dead, I know your physical strength very well!"
Izkoyatel raised his finger and slapped his ear to the ground, listening carefully: "There are sounds... there are all in front and behind, not like humans, but they are all rushing towards us."
Chimal Popoka twisted his neck "Galla" and said, "Okay, although the blood of animals is not as good as human blood, it can help us recover some magic. Should we arrive first or the ones in the front?"
"Front."
Chimal Popoka glanced around and found the thickest tree from it. He ran over and said, "Gla" and broke the largest fork of the tree. There were countless branches and leaves on the trunk, and he ignored it. He held it in his hand and waved it "hula" as if he was waving a mace or a spear.
"You take Tratoani to hide first." Chimal Popoca faced the front with her tree trunk, "Just leave it to me!"
Not long after, Chimal Popoka also heard the sound of the animal running feet and hooves. He could not hear the sound of the animal, but from the momentum, his body should be quite large. Based on Chimal Popoka's experience, animals of this body would not run away when they saw a person, but might rush straight toward him. So he continued to stand in the middle of the road, swung the tree trunk high, just waiting for the other party to rush over and then smash it out of his head.
The animal finally appeared in Chimal Popoka's sight. Chimal Popoka was stunned at first - because he saw the human head and body. Then, he was shocked again: under the human head, there was a horse's head, and under the human body, there was a horse's body. At the bottom were four horses' hooves, running back and forth, and running towards Chimal Popoka with human head, human head, human body and body.
Aztland does not have such animals as horses. When they saw horses in Winchester's stable, they were very surprised. But after all, they were locked in the stable, with only one horse's head and four horse feet. Even if they were surprised, they were not very scary. The half-man and half-horse monster in front of him really scared Chimar Popoka. He looked at the part below like the animal he had seen in Winchester's stable before, but the animal's body was blood and flesh, and the body in front of him was steel and iron!
Although this is actually just an armored cavalry, the Aztlans have never tamed a beast that can be ridden by people, and they have no idea what it means to "riding a horse"; they cannot refine steel, let alone put armor on animals. In Chimar Popoka's perception, that man, that horse and the armor are a monster that is one. He even once doubted whether it was a divine beast that came down to earth!
But Chimal Popoka was very skilled and bold after all, so he was not scared like this. Seeing the horse running over, he swung the tree trunk and wanted to smash it on its head. But this thing had two heads, which one was going to hit? He didn't have much time to think about it. Seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer to him, he made a cruel choice and randomly chose the head below and knocked it over with a stick!
The monster fell to the ground, but what happened next surprised Chimal Popoka even more: the monster broke into two pieces on the ground, but the two pieces actually crawled up separately. The part below was spitting a thunderous sound, and the part above was panting and swearing at him!
Even though he was as bold as Chimal Popoka, he shouted in horror: "Izkoyatel, come and help me!"
