Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 308: Go separate ways

Views:

In the carriage, when the carriage was about to roll over, Xiao Chen quickly cast the flying spell on the two of them. He grabbed Tasia's hand and tried to fly out of the window, but Tasia's robe was caught on the table, causing them to fall to the ground.

The carriage flipped over and Xiao Chen rolled onto the side wall, while Tasia fell on him and her forehead hit his nose, which was so sore that he almost cried.

Seeing that the carriage was about to turn again and he was about to fall down with Tashia on top of him, Xiao Chen shouted, "Bracelet! Activate the bracelet quickly!"

Seeing that Tasia was dazed and seemed to be stunned by the changes around her, Xiao Chen pinched her arm and pointed at the bracelet and said, "Use it quickly!"

Perhaps Xiao Chen used too much force, exceeding the range allowed by the bracelet, and the bracelet automatically activated the shield, but did not include Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen felt like he was squeezed by a transparent egg, tightly pressed against the carriage, and could hardly breathe. As the carriage rotated, Xiao Chen was pressed against the uneven wall by the shield again and again, which was really painful.

Fortunately, Tasya finally discovered this. She quickly removed her shield, threw herself into Xiao Chen's arms, put her arms around his waist, and activated the bracelet again.

This time, the two were finally covered by the shield. The flying technique freed them from the restraint of gravity, and the shield was like a small ball in a tumbling box, constantly colliding with all sides of the carriage. From the beginning of the tumbling to the final stop of the carriage, they didn't know how many times they had been spinning inside.

When Belia opened the door of the overturned carriage, Xiao Chen and Tasya were lying on the ground. Tasya was lying on Xiao Chen's chest with her arms around his waist, while Xiao Chen was leaning against the ground with his legs bent and raised up, lying underneath in a weird posture.

"Miss!" Belia pulled away Tasia's hand and picked her up, while Roger pulled Xiao Chen out.

Tasia walked a few steps with the help of Belia, then squatted to the side and began to vomit. She had never experienced such a strange state of weightlessness, let alone spinning around with a man.

"How are you?" Xiao Chen asked with concern.

"Don't look at me." Tasia moved a few steps to the side and continued vomiting with her back to Xiao Chen.

He took two steps and felt dizzy himself, so he held Roger's shoulder and asked, "Is the horse still there?"

"Yes, but we have to hurry. They are about to catch up."

Roger pulled off a piece of curtain, threw it to Belia and said, "Wipe it for her, and then we'll go."

Belia wiped the mouth of Tasia in her arms and asked, "Miss, can we go?"

"Yeah." Tashia seemed very embarrassed. She kept avoiding Xiao Chen and didn't want to meet him. After following Belia on the horse, she kept lying behind her, covering her head and face with her hood, not saying a word, and was completely different from her previous excited look.

However, Xiao Chen, who was sitting behind Roger, recovered quickly. He said angrily, "These guys are too rude. That magic circle is enough to blow up a house, but they actually used it to attack our car. If we were forced to stop in front of the roadblock without any defense, we would definitely be blown to ashes."

The other three people didn't say anything, only the sound of the whistling wind responded to him.

He added: "In the final analysis, they have overestimated me, and actually used such a brutal method! In fact, I am not as strong as they think."

Roger said, "Maybe they just don't care about life or death."

Tasia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Tasia smile, Xiao Chen felt relieved and said, "That's right, just smile. There's nothing to be embarrassed about vomiting. In our place, it's called motion sickness, and ten out of ten people will get it. You did a great job today. If you hadn't followed us, we would have been in trouble."

"Really?" Tasya looked up.

"Of course!" Xiao Chen glanced behind him. In the deep darkness, he didn't know how many dangers were chasing him. He began to prepare magic and said, "Tasia. I know you must be very tired, but now we have to cheer up. We are two people on one horse, and our speed is definitely not as fast as the pursuers behind us. Use any magic that can be used on horses!"

————————

The pursuers behind them whistled past in the night rain. These war horses all had a layer of magic halo, which was the result of the blessing of acceleration and endurance. Although the Shadow Group was an organization mainly composed of assassins and killers, since it was affiliated with the Temple of Nature, it was naturally equipped with spellcasters.

The one who cast this spell was the high-level wizard Weber, who led the ambush team together with another high-level assassin, Raul.

"I didn't expect that the magic array trap you set up for half a day still let a mid-level mage escape, Weber. You said that he should never come back, hehe." Raul glanced at the mage beside him, "If I had known earlier, I would have separated half of the team to prepare, and we wouldn't have been left so far behind by them."

"Just because of those two guys under your command who were chased away the first time they met?" Weber retorted.

Raul glanced at the back of the team with a sinister look and said, "We won't let them off when we get back."

"But these guys we are chasing are indeed extraordinary. Not only us, I think even Sancho didn't fully estimate their strength. There are actually two high-level warriors and a mid-level magician, and you are not sure if there is a fourth person in the car." The magician looked at the assassin meaningfully, "Have you ever thought about whether we can defeat them 100% in a head-on battle?"

The assassin was silent. The rain was getting heavier, splashing tiny water drops on his face. "Should we continue to chase him?"

"Will the Shadow Group back down at a time like this?"

"Haha, you're right! Shadows are forever!" Raul punched Weber's shoulder. "I always feel like you're more of an assassin than I am."

"Anyway, there's something strange about this matter. So does Sancho, who disappeared without a clear explanation. I really don't know what he's up to."

The Shadow Group chased to a fork in the road, and the scout easily identified the direction Xiao Chen and his group fled. Raul was about to continue chasing, but one of the riders behind him said, "Lord Raul, I've been to this area before. We may be able to get ahead of them by taking this path."

"Are you sure?" Raul glanced at the path. The road condition was average, and there were many trees on both sides. It didn't seem easy to walk on.

"I can take two or three brothers to take a shortcut and try. If we don't overtake them, we will continue to chase them. If we get ahead of them, we will harass them and slow down their speed until you catch up." The man said, and several people behind him nodded in agreement.

These people were temporarily assigned, and Raul didn't have much jurisdiction. Since the other party seemed so confident, he went with the flow and said, "Okay. Then you guys be careful."

Four people chose to take the small path. When they were far enough away from Raul and the others, one of them pulled the reins and sneered, "They are going to die, but we won't. We've had enough of the show tonight. Let's go back to the city to have some fun today and then go to Lord Makola to claim the reward tomorrow."
