As the large army penetrated into the woods on one side, the originally dark world became even darker. Several mages who were traveling with them originally planned to use spells for lighting, but saw that the flame hanging on the crown of the Clear Sky Staff could be used as a light source. Just give up. In this way, without knowing it, Qingkong walked to the front of the team, only behind the gray-black armored knight who had talked to him at the post station earlier.
After a while, there was a sound of fighting in the woods ahead. The leading knight rushed forward without thinking, but Qingkong hesitated and slowed down instead. The team behind her immediately passed by her. , only the archer who had just talked to him slowed down to her side, and asked loudly: "Qingkong, what's wrong?"
"Isn't it right to rush over like this?" Qingkong said with a frown. At this time, they were already at the end of the team. "I think we should investigate the situation first, and then make deployments and actions..."
Before Qingkong could finish her words, a black figure rushed towards her—before Qingkong could react, even the man and the horse were tightly bound by the chain thrown by the man, and then rolled backwards several times, The black shadow jumped to a low-lying area in the distance, and yanked Qingkong to her side. Her horse was thrown and landed behind them, neighing non-stop.
This action was done in one go, so startled that Qingkong didn't even have time to scream. When she realized it, there was a violent explosion behind her! —
The explosion was so violent that it could be said that it leveled the forest a little higher in front of her eyes in an instant, and the clear sky dazzled her, and the dazzling explosion flashed immediately, making her unable to open her eyes. The girl bent down reflexively, and the black shadow that pulled her to the depression actually protected her body, blocking the debris from the explosion for her.
At this moment, Qingkong understood that this sudden black shadow had obviously saved her life, and the twenty Keen clansmen who had just walked with him might have perished in the sea of fire... A burst of sorrow welled up, making her eyes turn red .
"Are you all right? Clear sky."
After an unknown amount of time, the black figure leaning over his body moved his arms and asked him softly. His voice was cold, making Qingkong feel strange and familiar...
Qingkong stood up in a daze... The chains on his body had been undone at some point, the flames hanging from the staff had long since disappeared, and the embers of the explosion dissipated in a short time, leaving only a piece of scorched black. The surroundings turned back to pitch black, making people palpitate.
Qingkong really wanted to see the face of the person who came, but unfortunately he was completely wrapped in black, but he did not wear the mask that was the symbol of the blood crows, revealing a pair of blue and green eyes.
"Thank you... for saving me. Do you know me?" Qingkong asked tentatively.
"Of course, I know you. Fortunately, I heard someone calling your name when I passed by. Otherwise..." Hei Ying lowered his head and fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I'm Zuo Ci."
-
Hearing the name "Zuo Ci", Qing Kong was completely stunned for a moment. Joy is naturally the main thing, but for some reason, a strong uneasiness faintly felt in his heart.
She couldn't help asking: "Zuo Ci, why did you appear here?!"
"For the mission."
"What mission?"
Zuo Ci hesitated again, which made Qingkong's uneasiness even more intense: "Zuo Ci, you must tell me that without your appearance, I would be dead now. I must know what I will face next! "
Zuo Ci was silent for three seconds, and finally replied: "In order to prevent the death squads sent by Manchester from blowing up the main facilities of Keen Continent." After speaking, he stood up and took out a The flame was turned on, and he looked around, but after seeing nothing, he said, "Clear sky, I will escort you to a nearby station to hide for a while, I will try my best to clean up the assassins nearby, and then think about it." Where is it safer to send you..."
"Wait a minute, Zuo Ci, do you mean that the Death Squad sent by Manchester will successively commit suicide bombings around Keene, just like what happened just now?" Qing Kong's face was already pale.
"That's right, there is a very powerful explosive material in the Royal City of Manchester, called lava flint. The explosion just now was not the real power of lava flint, but just a small piece. Because I spent a lot of effort from They stole most of the flint from their side. Unfortunately, in the middle of the action, an adventurer from Keen discovered the whereabouts of the death squad. My plan was interrupted and I left in a hurry. I did not expect to miss a small flint, which caused such situation.” Zuo Ci’s voice was still cold and emotionless, “More death squads are landing on Keen, I don’t have time, and I can’t save every place. The person who gave me the task reminded me that they should The places I want to blow up should include the Crossroad Station and Tianqi City, so it is my task to preserve these two places as much as possible, and I can’t take care of more areas.”
"Crossroad Station and Apocalypse City? This one is the center where Keen's adventurers flow the most, and the other is Keen's royal city. If this is attacked by a big explosion, how many people will die?" Qingkong recalled the explosion just now, Seeing that there was nothing left in the scorched land, he couldn't help but shudder.
