Chapter 177: Do something!
’No ... no ... no!’ Lee inwardly screamed, ’Fuck! No!’
Because of the rush, he made a disastrous mistake by overlooking a simple defensive nuance – the roofs of the buildings inside the fortress. Objectively it wasn’t his fault. He had no clue about wars or mass warfare, and went by the common sense. The problem was, it led to Xiao Lian getting impaled by a spear, thick as a hand.
The guy on the roof most likely was an elemental warrior, possessing an earth spark. The moment he threw the spear, it gave off a slight golden glow. Probably that was what allowed him to easily pierce Xiao Lian’s chest despite wearing the defensive clothing.
Lee wasn’t the only one who placed an order for Han Li before the departure. Xiao Lian got both a new weapon and gear. The chest armor, crafted from thick scaled leather, was another Han Li’s masterpiece, and should’ve provided a decent protection against regular weapons.
The problem was, the spear that pierced Xiao Lian’s chest was by no means simple piece of wood.
"What are you standing there for! Do something!" Qin Yujian’s panicked scream returned Lee to reality.
She stood there, holding Xiao Lian’s hand, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably. She wasn’t loudly crying, but the pain and panic on her face was obvious. Her scream was addressed to Lee, but her eyes were on Xiao Lian, full of despair.
He was staring back at her, his pupils dilated. He couldn’t speak, though. He tried to move his lips, as if saying something, but the only thing that came out was a stream of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Lee could only watch them, helplessly clenching his fists. The spear didn’t kill Xiao Lian right away, but pierced his chest next to the heart, and it was inevitable the boy had only moments of his life left.
"Lee! Do something!" Ling Xiaotao and Shu Ying echoed Qin Yujian’s scream, but with a glance it was obvious they were as panicked as the rest.
’What exactly do you expect me to do?!’ Lee inwardly shouted.
