Salin held his breath, his hands and feet were a little cold. WWw!QUAbEn-XIAoShUo!Com
Aini's voice was also trembling, and he whispered: "It's okay, they are all dead."
Only then did Salin notice that the monster's eyes were motionless and lifeless. The headless horsemen also had no horses, and stood there quietly, unable to see where their heads were placed.
"Aini..."
"It's really okay. These headless horsemen must have a lot of blood to be resurrected. Let's follow the direction of the wind to find an exit." Aini said, without much confidence in his heart. The magician believes in facts and all his knowledge comes from books.
As soon as Aini finished speaking, there was a rustling sound above his head, followed by the sound of huge water flow. Everyone looked up and saw a chimney-like opening at the top of the cave, where the wind penetrated. This opening is very long, as wide as two people. Because it was night, there was no light, so it looked deep and cold.
A large amount of red liquid poured down from this opening and spilled into the cave. Saleen smelled blood.
"It's a blood pool, let's go!" Salin lost his cool again. The sacrificial altar actually triggered a chain reaction throughout the underground cave. Under the blood stored in the blood pool, the Headless Horseman here will soon be resurrected. As for the huge monster in the middle, it is probably the legendary Abominable Dragon Beast.
This is a simple layout. Someone sacrifices it, which means that the black magician has come again, the blood pool is activated, and the Headless Horseman will be resurrected. If this layout is everywhere, the Principality of Phoenix will be finished.
Blood rained down and seeped from the Headless Horseman's armor. The Headless Horseman's body made a shrill sound, as if there were countless people fighting inside. Ani looked at Nellis anxiously.
He thought Nailis was a sixth-level magician, at least a fifth-level one. If he could fly to the exit at the top of the cave, just a rope would allow everyone to leave.
Nailis ignored Aini, she grabbed Salin and carried her behind her back.
"Master, hold on tight to me." Nailis said as she jumped up and put her hands on the stone wall. She climbed up quickly with bare feet and using her hands and feet. Aini was stunned, vaguely knowing that he was wrong. Even if a great magician was imprisoned, he would not be a slave to others.
Shika's movements were not slow either. She took out the gloves from the leather bag and followed Nailis to climb to the top of the cave.
Nailisi is a demon. The fingers of her hands can easily dig into the cracks of the stone wall. In smooth places, she can even insert her fingernails. Not to mention Shika, Caucasians can climb on cliffs, which they have learned since childhood. Her gloves were also specially made, and with Nailisi leading the way, she had no difficulty climbing to the top of the cave. Only Aini looked at the stone wall and sighed.
Naelis was faster than the rock lizard, and her figure quickly disappeared into the opening at the top of the cave. Ani felt real fear. He shouted loudly: "Salin! Salin!"
Aini's shouts echoed in the cave, and the eyes of the dragon-hating beast turned to look at Aini. Aini immediately stopped shouting. The Abominable Dragon Beast has not yet been completely resurrected, but only felt the vibration of the sound wave. If he calls again, all the Headless Horsemen will be attracted to him.
Nailisi's speed became faster and faster, and Salin felt like she was being carried on horseback as she walked on the stone wall. When he climbed to a height of more than 20 meters, Salin saw dozens of magic arrays. These magic arrays were roughly carved on the stone wall, but in the center of the magic array was a black hole, from which blood gushes out.
In the blink of an eye, Nailis had led Salin out of the exit, but the surroundings were surrounded by dense weeds. Salin looked up and found that he was on top of a hill.
There are no high mountains in the Principality of Phoenix, and the top of the mountain here is only about three hundred meters. Salin looked as far as the eye could see. Baron Cook's castle was already very far away. What surprised him was that he also saw torches shining like daylight on the plain. They were so densely packed that he didn't know how many there were.
There are reinforcements counterattacking from outside. Black magicians don't need torches. These torches represent the human army. Moreover, Saleen also heard an explosion. The explosion could travel so far, so it was definitely not an ordinary fireball technique.
There are actually high-level magicians in this army!
Saleen cursed in his heart, Baron Cook was a bait, guarding the castle just to attract the attack of the black magician. Otherwise, the principality’s army would not have arrived so quickly. He is really stupid. He now understands the source of Baron Cook's courage. Because the reinforcements will arrive soon, Baron Cook is so righteous.
It can be said that I have offended him. I wonder if the baron has been killed by the Headless Horseman. If he is not dead, will he get into trouble
"Salin!" Sikka also crawled out of the cave. Only then did Salin remember that Aini hadn't come up yet. He looked at the hidden cave beneath his feet and pondered.
To save or not to save
Aini's scheming is terrifying, but if Baron Cook survives and Aini dies, then he will be the best scapegoat.
Salin gritted his teeth and had already invested a lot in Aini. It would be too cautious to give up.
"Xika, rope." Salin said simply. Xika had already taken out the rope from the bag, untied it, and let it hang down. The rope was very long, but it was not more than 300 meters. Salin took out his own rope and tied it with Sika's rope.
This is a special equipment for adventurers. Aini prepared it for Salin and others. The ordinary rope is only 50 meters long. Aini was willing to spend money and directly gave Salin and Sika the best rope in the store. The rope woven from this kind of spider silk is thinner than a little finger, but it can bear the weight of more than ten people.
There is God's will in the dark. If Aini gave Salin an ordinary rope, Nellis would have to go down and save him. In that case, Nailisi might have a sudden idea and bite Ani to death.
Aini was pulled up in a state of embarrassment, with a lot of blood on his body. He raised his eyes and saw the torch in the distance, and was stunned.
There are very few magicians who are not smart, and Aini is the best with quick thinking. He immediately understood that Baron Cook was a bait.
Salin did not say anything to blame, but smiled bitterly: "You understand too?"
Aini clenched his fists and turned blue. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have caused trouble for you. I will take responsibility for this."
"What are you responsible for? We have released the Abominable Dragon Beast. These reinforcements may not be able to control the situation. By the way, there is also the stone statue formation. If those stone statues are freed, they seem to have about the same fighting power as the Headless Horseman."
A trace of regret flashed through Aini's heart, and then he said decisively: "It's been done, there's no use regretting it."
"Now we have to leave Phoenix as soon as possible. If the black magic continues to get out of control, the situation in the principality will be corrupted. There are so many black puppets, and the black magician may have killed many people. Neither you nor I can bear this matter. .”
"Salin..."
"Needless to say, it's unlucky for me to have you as my friend. The Baron wants to kill you, so I can't ignore it. We can't predict what will happen next. Now we can only hope that the Baron dies completely, and we won't be in trouble. .”
Salin was also filled with emotion. It is simply inexplicable that this matter has developed to such an extent. He is also considered to have a bad fate, and he will be unlucky wherever he goes.
I blame myself for being competitive, for no reason, why would I bet with Aini? If there is no problem with those arrows, the castle will definitely be able to withstand the attack for a day. As long as we survive this period of time and the reinforcements arrive, without the resurrected Abominable Dragon Beast and those ancient headless horsemen, destroying these black puppets will not be a problem. If that were the case, I might even be commended by the emperor.
A true magician will not argue about meaningless victory or defeat. Salin finally understood this motto now, but unfortunately the price he paid was high.
"Salin, don't worry, even if Cook doesn't die this time, I won't let him return to Qin Yin alive." Aini's eyes shot out a cold light and sentenced Baron Cook to death.
"So simple?" Salin didn't know where Aini got his confidence.
"The Clyde family is loyal to the royal family and follows the path of the House of Lords. Cook himself is in the same camp as the Clyde family. However, he has a shallow foundation and the emperor will not punish the Clyde family because of him. . As long as he doesn’t speak in front of the emperor, he will die, it’s no big deal.”
Salin didn't understand Aini's talk of intrigue, but he understood that the Clyde family's backstage was tougher than imagined.
"Ani, am I lucky or unlucky to have met you?"
Aini laughed, patted the back of Salin's hand and said, "If I can successfully become a necromancer, you will definitely be lucky. Then I will be able to return to the core of the family and control more resources."
Salin also smiled. Aini was able to adjust his mentality so quickly. He was indeed a direct descendant of a big family, and his quality was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"I hope so, but it's important to escape now. We don't have horses." Salin said a very practical problem.
Aini frowned, took out two scrolls from the leather bag, and said: "I have two scrolls of wind speed, but four people..." He knew that Salin was a first-level magician, and he could only cast one second-level magic at most, and there were still two scrolls left. The next person has to rely on his legs to move forward.
"How far is the nearest town?" Salin was overjoyed. Two scrolls were enough, one for Sikka and one for Aini. As for himself, he had to trouble Nailis. This little devil seems to have a tendency to become a mount.
"More than a hundred miles away." Aini didn't understand where Salinxi came from.
"Then we can go." Salin smiled and asked Sikka to tie the rope to the rock and fix it. The four of them slipped down the mountain along the rope.
The ancient castle in the distance shook, and the flames soared into the sky, almost lighting up the sky, and thousands of torches were eclipsed. Salin felt awe-struck in his heart, this must have been done by the great magician.
With no time to think about anything else, Salin unfolded the scroll, used his mental power to trigger the wind speed technique, and applied it to Aini. Scrolls, one-time magic equipment, are exclusive to mages. Saleen can only use second-level scrolls at most. Fortunately, wind speed is a second-level magic, otherwise he would not be able to use it.
The second wind speed spell was cast on Sika. After Salin did this, he climbed onto Nailis's back and ran southward under Aini's strange eyes.
