Before Cui Zuojing finished speaking, with the slight crackling sound and dull footsteps of the blades of grass being smashed, the pair of scarlets finally completely left the cover of darkness, and their huge bodies were exposed in front of everyone.
silence.
It's hard to tell what exactly this thing is.
The feeling of suffocation and oppression that blows on the face is the most direct feeling it gives the two brothers of the Dong family. The person in front of him—let’s call him a person for the time being—is more than two meters tall, and is integrated with the warhorse from the waist down. The whole body is covered with thick armor. With every step of walking, the old rust rust falls.
It has an old and decadent aura on it, just like when Dong Zheng watched it crawling out of the bottomless coffin, the aura from hell.
Its head seems to be just a heavy helmet, filled with a cloud of black mist, and two scarlet fires are dimly lit in the position of the eyes, and it is holding a long sword with the same rust, but no one will think that the sword is not sharp enough.
It glanced at Cui Zuojing in front of him, as if it wasn't interested in him, and turned its head slowly towards Dong Zheng and Dong Linhai under the tree.
Raise your hand, point your sword.
Dong Zheng covered the wound on his waist, and Cui Zuojing shared some of his injuries, but the excessive blood loss still made him dizzy.
run!
"Linhai, you go first." In the blink of an eye, his thoughts turned thousands of times. Dong Zheng understood that in the face of such a powerful enemy, they had no ability to deal with it head-on, and the "Arabidopsis" who signed a blood contract in a hurry... Dong Zheng Zheng didn't think he could deal with this monster completely.
Lin Hai looked at the centaur monster, then at Dong Zheng, who was covered in blood, and Cui Zuojing, who was still unhappy. There was no boring and time-wasting "Let's go together" scene. He gritted his teeth and turned to dive in. In the dark forest, the figure was quickly engulfed by the fog.
And "it" just silently watched Linhai leave face to face, and there was no sign of catching up. His sight refocused on the scarred Dong Zheng, it seemed that there was only one goal.
really.
Being pointed at by the tip of the sword, Dong Zheng's heart sank, but he also made a firm guess. The golden ball he took from the coffin before was really a key item. This monster should be a character similar to a guardian—
"You go too."
Cui Zuojing said abruptly, he touched the bandage on his shoulder and sighed, "Give this to me, you can quickly find a way to leave, I don't want to waste too much in such a boring and stupid box. long time."
"It's a guardian, and the level should be invincible at this stage. It may still be possible for the two of us-"
"You will only hold me back." Cui Zuojing interrupted him neatly and smiled, "Zhan Wuzha must have the consciousness of Zhan Wuzha, if you don't leave, be careful when I move my hand. Kill you too."
Dong Zheng choked, pursed his lower lip, and intuitively told Dong Zheng: trust him.
He seemed to have something to say, but in the end he just gave the slightly frail young man a deep look, and before "it" started, dragging his hurt body, he turned and fled in the same direction as Linhai.
When Dong Zheng took the first step, "it" moved.
Without any unnecessary movements, the heavy long sword covered with rust slashed in the air, and with a swipe, the invisible sword energy ripped through the air and slashed towards Dong Zheng!
But Cui Zuojing also moved.
He picked up a dead branch on the ground, stood between Dong Zheng and "it", like a child waving randomly, raised his hand and gently blocked it.
The sword qi that could cut a person in half in an instant disappeared like this.
Like it never happened.
Dong Zheng's figure disappeared into the mist in this opportunity, and could never be seen again.
"I can't let you kill him." Cui Zuojing held the branch, his eyes seemed to contain the embers of the fiery flame that had been forcibly cooled, and looked at the knight coldly: "Henry, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to have I forgot."
The monster called Henry seemed to have never heard his words. It let out the neigh of a warhorse, its hooves kicked, and galloped towards Cui Zuojing!
Kill everything that stands in its way!
Pong!
The crisp sound of the iron halberds colliding was the first horn of the battle, and a small piece of black crow perched in the shadows was startled. No one could have imagined that this was the sound of a long sword and a branch colliding. But in fact, the moment Cui Zuojing's branch touched the long sword, the blade was torn apart, and the rust was scattered.
The huge momentum made Henry have to take two steps back, and finally took a serious look at Cui Zuojing, the unsightly thing that prevented it from finding the lost thing.
Cui Zuojing threw away the broken branch and picked up a new one. The moment he held it, the dry and fragile branch became the sharpest weapon in the world.
This is his ability in the pure white world, called [Slaughter], and as the time of entry becomes longer, the power that has been lost for eight years has gradually returned.
"It's not strange that you forget me. After all, we don't have a deep friendship, but do you still remember Fu Zhe?"
Cui Zuojing said again. Staring at the monster in front of him that was much taller than him, even though he was talking close to him, his whole body didn't loosen at all.
He's giving himself time to readjust.
Henry still didn't react. It pulled up a rather ancient sword flower, roared wildly, black air spewed out of the helmet, and the horse rushed towards Cui Zuojing again!
Instead of hiding, Cui Zuojing took two steps towards it, and the distance between the two shrank to the extreme in the blink of an eye. The imaginary handover of blood and flesh did not happen. The young man took off, turned sideways in the air with the stones between his fingertips to block the powerful sword, and at the same time flicked his wrist, he accurately picked it on Henry's chest. on the heart armor!
The specially thickened piece of armor broke in an instant and flew out along the remaining strength, and Henry's chest was also exposed in front of Cui Zuojing. In the empty body under the thick armor, there was only a beating heart. , three rings of iron hoops tightly locked the only living organ, making every beat extremely difficult, leaving only the tremor.
Painful, struggling tremors.
"Roar!"
At the moment when his heart was exposed, Henry let out an inhuman howl, and the two red lights in the helmet went out. Under Cui Zuojing's gaze, it staggered back a few steps, "Boom!" It hit a giant tree.
Layers of cracks appeared on the outermost layer of iron hoop that imprisoned the heart, growing rapidly with the frequency of the heartbeat, and finally shattered with a bang!
The thick rust on the armor and the long sword fell off, and the patterns on each piece of armor and the forging marks on the blade of the sword were all clearly visible.
It no longer looks like a zombie crawling out of an old coffin, but a real knight.
Without a layer of restraint, the heartbeat became much more stable and firm, and after a breath, those eyes lit up again.
Henry looked at Cui Zuojing, this time it seemed to have a little consciousness, and the unremarkable branch in the boy's hand made it timid for some reason.
It took two steps back, sensed that the guardian appeared in another direction, no longer fighting, turned around and rode away.
call-
The figure of the knight disappeared from sight, Cui Zuojing let out a long sigh of relief, and the branches in his hand turned into dust at the same time, dissipating in the air.
Although he can make anything into a weapon in his hand, the more fragile things can be used for less time, and the more irreversible damage will occur.
It's like this branch just disappeared.
Cui Zuojing didn't catch up. He was a little tired and had the curse of a prisoner of time on his body. He had just returned and shared Dong Zheng's scars, and his condition was very poor.
Not knowing what happened to the two brothers now, Cui Zuojing closed his eyes and held his breath as he felt the call from the blood pact and the prisoner card.
It's like looking for a trace of light in the utterly dark world of perception.
found it.
After a breath, Cui Zuojing opened his eyes and contacted Dong Zheng's blood contract to tell him that the other party was not in danger now. A normal prisoner can rely on the card to return to the master's position in an instant, but before the clown can teach him the relevant operations, Cui Zuojing was summoned here and could only walk over on his feet.
Cui Zuojing also had his own prisoner back then, and knew what he should do as a master, but obviously Dong Zheng didn't know yet.
So troublesome.
On the other side, Dong Zheng ran all the way in the direction that Dong Linhai left not long ago, and came to a hut in the woods.
The warm yellow light in the room spread far and wide through the mist, and Dong Zheng slowed down and approached cautiously.
The house looks very much like a ranger's hut, with a shed for raising chickens and ducks, as well as a kennel for the gate of the ranger dogs, with a creek at the back. He picked up a stone and slammed it on the door of the hut from a distance, but for a long time he couldn't hear the bark or other sound.
no one
For the time being, it cannot be ruled out that someone is hiding and trying to trick him on purpose.
The sudden appearance of such a room must be a key plot point, and you must go in and take a look.
Dong Zheng counted the contents of the package. He and Dong Linhai only entered the box for the second time. Like all newcomers, they didn't have much equipment, only a dagger that was not too sharp when they passed the novice level.
[name]
About to break the dagger (upgradeable)
[Function]
Like its name, it's about to break.
Maybe for peeling an apple
He went around to the window and glanced in, and there was nothing suspicious beyond the blind spot of vision.
So Dong Zheng stopped dawdling, and directly pushed the window and turned in, trying not to make a sound to the ground. He glanced at the door in the blind spot just now. There was a highly decomposed corpse leaning against the door, and the blood on the door panel and the ground had dried up and turned black.
If he pushed the door just now, there is a high probability that this poor corpse will be smashed into pieces.
The house looked nothing special, Dong Zheng looked around for a week, and finally came to squat beside the corpse, wrinkled his nose disgustingly by the rotten smell, and began to check.
Judging from the clothes on his body, this is the owner of this hut, a local forest ranger. There are very obvious finger marks and bruises on the skin left on his neck. His jaw is open. Other than that, there are no other wounds. He must have been pinched alive. dead.
But... where did the blood come from
Is there anything else in this house
Dong Zheng slowly got up and looked behind him. At the corner of the living room and bedroom, a shadow showed a very small part. He seemed to sense that he was being seen, and quickly retracted.
He suddenly clenched the dagger in his hand.
"Who!"
