Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

"hateful."

Welf screamed, dragging his injured thigh and barely escaping from the area before being hit by more rocks.

At this moment, Merlin finally had his hands free, so he quickly turned around and took Welf away.

"Ah, sorry, Merlin, it seems...I can't do it anymore."

Welf looked down at his right leg, which had been twisted in the opposite direction, and looked at Merlin apologetically.

Merlin then checked Welf's injuries.

"This injury...even a recovery potion might not be of any use."

That's right, even the special recovery potion he researched was of no help for injuries that affected the bones and caused deformation.

"Master Merlin, the monsters... are coming closer."

Lily came jogging over and shot several approaching monsters to death with the enhanced crossbow in her hand. She looked at Merlin with a worried look on her face and said.

Because at this time, more monsters rushed towards them.

Although many monsters were killed by the collapse of the rock wall.

But the noise also attracted many monsters that had already rushed into the eighteenth floor to gather here.

And because the entrance to the passage is blocked by a large amount of rocks, if you want to pass through, you must first blast those rocks away.

"Ah, I know."

Merlin nodded, his brain quickly thinking of a countermeasure.

At this distance, even with the use of magic cannons, it is impossible to destroy all the monsters.

The mechanical device on his waist was also damaged because it had just been forcibly activated, and it could not be used without repair.

Finally, and worst of all, Welf was injured.

The injured Welf was basically unable to move quickly.

After all, the entire right leg was damaged.

Unless he chooses to give up Welf, he must devote his energy to protecting Welf.

You have to know that the monsters around are all middle-level monsters, some of them have thick skin and flesh, and even the heat rays of the magic gun cannot kill them instantly.

"Sorry Merlin, leave me alone, you and Tiny can run."

Welf naturally noticed the situation and said through gritted teeth.

At this time, he had lost his ability to move and became a burden.

Rather than waiting until Merlin and Lily were implicated, he might as well give up on himself.

"Lord Merlin..."

Lily's little face was filled with sadness and pain as she looked towards Merlin.

Because she knew very well that the maze was extremely cruel, and at this time only by giving up Welf could they get a chance to survive.

"Huh..." Merlin took a deep breath. He thought for a few seconds, sorted out all the props and cards in his hand, and got only one answer.

That is... the only way to leave alive is to give up Welf. This is the way with the highest chance of survival.

Otherwise, they would all die here.

The noise of using the magic cannon to blast open the stones blocking the entrance to the passage will attract more monsters.

The time left for them to escape is very limited.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to escape with a burden, and the monster will definitely catch up with you.

“Huh…haha…”

Merlin took a deep breath, raised his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and made a decision.

"go back."

"what?"

"Eh?"

Both Lily and Welf were completely shocked by Merlin's words.

"Master Merlin, this..."

"No, Merlin, are you crazy? Give up on me and leave."

Welf's face flushed crimson, and he couldn't help but question loudly.

"Otherwise, you will die here too.

Do you want to die? "

"Merlin!"

Welf was furious.

Because he knew very well that he might become a burden and cause Merlin and Lily to die here.

Welf's pride wouldn't allow him to do something that would implicate his companions.

Facing Welf's angry roar, Merlin glanced at him calmly and said lightly.

"Just as you made a choice with your life at stake before, now it's my turn."

Merlin glanced at Welf calmly, then turned to look at Lily.

"Lily, do you have a rope?"

"rope?"

"Ah, this way."

Lily didn't hesitate and immediately took out a rope from the package and handed it to Merlin.

Merlin immediately tied Welf to his back with a rope.

"Let's go back to Rivera Town."

Merlin said as he walked forward first, and at this moment, a lizardman roared and pounced towards him.

Facing the surging lizardmen, Merlin did not hesitate and directly took out his magic gun.

However, this time, only a spark came out of the muzzle, and no flame appeared.

Obviously, the magic power in the magic stone has been used up.

"Roar!"

At this time, the lizardman had already pounced over.

Merlin didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger again. The blue sticky solution sprayed out and directly fixed the lizard man's feet to the ground.

However, when the lizard man found himself tied up, he actually used the harpoon in his hand as a javelin and threw it at Merlin.

"Lord Merlin!"

Lily, who was not far away, saw this scene and her face turned pale. She threw the silver-backed shield that Merlin had given her towards Merlin with all her strength, but her little arms had little strength. The speed of the throwing could not match the speed of the harpoon at all.

Looking at the harpoon flying towards him rapidly, Merlin's face twitched and his left hand immediately reached for the dagger at his waist.

Just as Kazuto drew his dagger, the harpoon was already within reach.

Just as Merlin was about to be stabbed by the harpoon, several flasks filled with red liquid suddenly fell from the sky.

"Bang bang bang."

The flask fell to the ground, erupting into a terrifying flame that blew the harpoon away.

The shockwave also blew Merlin, who was carrying Welf, several meters away.

"Ahem, that is..."

Merlin coughed twice and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky ahead.

In his sight, a graceful blue figure was flying in the sky.

That person is Asfi.

Chapter 75 There is still hope

"Mr. Mei, it looks like you're in trouble."

Asfi glanced at Merlin below and smiled slightly.

"Do you need help?"

"Ah."

Merlin agreed immediately without hesitation.

Without Asfi's help, it is impossible to get out of the current situation unless he chooses to give up Welf.

However, ever since Welf chose to face Porus and the others together, Merlin had completely considered him to be on his side.

The word "abandon" does not exist in his dictionary.

After hearing this answer, Asfi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Merlin to say such words.

But after a moment of surprise, Asfi immediately landed on the ground, grabbed Welf's collar and lifted him up.

"Mr. Mei, I'll take him to the town of Riviera."

"Yeah, we'll be there soon."

Merlin nodded slightly.

After sending Asfy away, Merlin's attention fell on the monsters gathering around him.

"Lord Merlin. What should we do now?"

Lily asked worriedly as she approached with the enhanced crossbow.

"Lily, take these props and throw them out at the critical moment."

"For the rest, I will lead the way."

Merlin handed all the remaining throwing props to Lily, then picked up the magic cannon and held it in his hand.

His previous plan was to retreat, so he had to preserve the magic stones.

But now, when there is no way to retreat, there is no point in saving the magic stones.

Because once we return to Rivera Town, we can resupply.

"Hmm... the magic power reserve in the magic stone is still... 30%."

Merlin checked the magic power content in the magic stone and picked up the magic cannon.

"Roar!"

The monsters around roared and quickly rushed towards Merlin.

More monsters rushed out from the woods behind. At a glance, there were at least forty or fifty of them.

Looking at the group of monsters rushing towards him, Merlin raised the magic cannon in his hand and aimed it in the direction of the monsters without any hesitation.

"die!"

The next moment, terrifying red and blue beams of light shot out from the muzzle.

"Pfft!"

The light beam directly cleared out all the monsters in that straight line, leaving a one-meter-deep pit on the ground.

And at the end of that beam of light was the black Goliath standing in the center of the forest.

The beam of light just happened to pierce one of the Black Goliath's legs.

"Boom."

Black Goliath fell to the ground because one of his legs was broken.

After seeing this scene, Merlin was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that this attack with 30% energy would probably not cause much damage.
