Edward didn't want to escape, but he was really at a disadvantage fighting that kind of monster in the processing room. Not only could the monster jump up and down and walk between the walls and beams, but there was only one light in the processing room that brought a little The bright magic crystal lamp and the dark environment made it easier for the other party to attack him and Al unscrupulously. , to be honest, that processing room has almost turned into a monster's lair. Even if the monster can be defeated by luck, who knows whether the second and third batches of female cultists will appear next!
You have to get out of there first and plan to do it again!
He pulled Al and rushed out of the lumberyard. At the door, Edward gritted his teeth and clasped his hands. A huge earth wall rose from the ground to block the monster female cultist who was chasing fiercely. He blocked the opponent's road and listened to the sharp sound behind the earth wall. From the roar and the wall that began to shake, Edward knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on to him for long. He just turned around and pulled Al and started to run away, and then he took a breath.
It's not because there are enemies, but now that the sun has completely set, the surroundings are completely dark and you can't even see your fingers. This lumberyard built deep in the road is like the only lighthouse in the black ocean.
Edward himself didn't know whether it was the right choice to run into the darkness at this time, but at least Edward understood that if he continued to stay in the lumberyard and let the other party take advantage of the geographical advantage to attack him, then he and Al would really Right and wrong must die.
"Al~ try to run to an open place."
Looking at the dark surroundings, Edward could only determine the location based on his memory. If he accidentally ran into the woods, it might make it easier for the other party to hunt him.
"Come this way, brother!" Alphonse put Edward under his arm and ran quickly.
"Can you see the road clearly? Al!"
Alphonse nodded, and the way he saw things seemed to be different without his eyes. It looked as bright as daytime no matter what time it was. The only thing that is a bit unbearable is that sometimes I can't close my eyes and be quiet in the dark for a while, because I have no eyes to close.
The two brothers had just disappeared into the darkness. The female cultist who turned into a monster also destroyed the earthen wall and rushed into the darkness. Only the last woman looked at all this with a gloomy face.
Lion! !
This is a half-human, half-demon monster transformed through rituals by loyal believers who serve their master. They are powerful and dangerous in melee combat, and are capable of using a variety of illusion abilities. The lion with dark vision is the deadliest hunter in the dark. The two intruders ran into the darkness in a panic, thinking they could escape death. But they were totally wrong!
The female cultist has no doubts about whether the two intruders can be destroyed by relying on the power of a lion. However, the believer's transformation into a lion will consume the power of gazing into the abyss stored in the altar. If the enemy does not deal with the lost power of the abyss as soon as possible, it will lower the evaluation of the priest of Xia Luoduo in the cult, and then the priest's punishment will also come to him.
Alphonse, carrying Edward with him, ran very fast, but the strange roar coming from behind, which even overwhelmed the sound of the wind, reminded the two brothers that the most terrifying monster was already chasing after them.
"Al~ How is the situation around here?" Edward, who was held under Alphonse's arm, had no time to complain. In the dark environment, Edward could only understand the situation through Al.
“It’s all open space here┉┉”
"Is the ground dirt?"
"It should be." Alphonse ran while feeling the condition of the ground under his feet: "But it's very hard, and it feels like frozen soil."
Edward was silent for a moment. When the roar behind him came again, Edward raised his head and said to his running brother, "I have a plan┉┉"
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
Relying on his night vision and strong sense of smell, the lion quickly found the scent left by the two brothers. Or to be honest, he only found the scent of Edward. Alphonse, who had armor as his body, had nothing left by the living. trace. This made it impossible for the lion, which was good at hunting enemies, to accurately find Alphonse.
right! They ran towards the open area. The two intruders must also have some kind of night vision ability, otherwise it would be impossible to see in such a dark environment. If they lit up the lights, it would be like giving a warning to the lion. Direct the direction of the attack yourself.
The half-human, half-lion form allowed the lion to run quickly. Soon, the lion noticed the little boy lying quietly on the ground not far away. He actually disguised himself in the snow to try to escape the pursuit of his naked eyes. What's funny is that this little guy actually dug a big hole in front of the ground. It's a pity that if it were someone else, he might have accidentally dropped it in the dark night. But the lion with night vision could clearly see the potholes on the ground, and his sense of smell could easily determine the location of his ambush.
I have to say that this is really a big pothole. How he dug it out without any tools! It is probably related to the strange ability he possesses, which seems to be able to change the structure and form of matter at will, which is very magical┉┉
It's a pity that there is no extra time to study his abilities!
The human lion accelerated again, but suddenly the human lion discovered that the other armored warrior was nowhere to be found, and the other party had no aura to track, so the human lion did not know whether the other party had also ambushed or separated. If they separated, it would be troublesome. . If he were to run to the Holy See or the Holy City of Gaomi, the entire altar would not be saved. If this is the case, then the only way is to capture this little boy and torture him first.
As for ambushing a lion, I have also considered it, but after physically transforming into a half-demon lion, the devil's unique crazy and violent side overwhelms rationality. Even if the opponent is ambushing a human-lion, I believe that with my own strength, I can tear them apart effortlessly.
Thinking of this, the lion has already jumped high. The powerful jumping force easily allowed the lion's tall body to cross the hole in the ground. However, Edward, who was lying in ambush in the snow, seemed to be unaware of the fact and remained in place. . In mid-air, the human lion had already stretched out its sharp claws and was about to capture Edward. At this moment, the sound of metal hitting each other rang out. Although the sound was not loud, it still caught the human lion's ears, which also had very keen hearing.
On the other side, Alphonse, who was completely buried in the snowdrift just now, was half-kneeling on the ground, and quickly pressed his hands on the ground. The refining magic circle was activated quickly, and a blue stream of light swept over the position where the lion was about to land.
Walls, cages, pits or spikes!
The human lion, who had already seen the alchemy ability before, quickly summed up many possibilities in his mind. Although he was avoiding the pothole in front and was in the stage of falling out of control after jumping, no matter what kind of attack it was. Both the man and the lion can handle it with confidence. However, time seemed to be slowed down like a prank. The human lion found that there was still no movement on the ground after the blue stream of light flashed. When he fell, he found that the ground had become like a quagmire. The huge momentum of his descent made half Every body is caught in it.
That kind of power can not only change the shape of matter. It can even change the composition of matter. It's like a large-scale earth spell that turns fossils into mud, but there is no incantation or spell casting, and there is no transformation in time. It is completed by the armored warrior almost in an instant!
The sudden change made the lion subconsciously reach out to support the ground, but his hands still touched the mud-like ground. This movement accelerated the body's sinking speed.
The soles of his feet couldn't touch anything hard, and his hands didn't have anything to grab onto. It was like a beast in a state of weightlessness that had no strength but couldn't use it. For a moment, the lion roared angrily, and its violent struggle only made itself sink deeper and deeper. However, under the constant threat of death, the lion suddenly returned to its normal appearance.
"Help me! Please help me! Please help me!!" Under the shadow of death, the female cultist had no regard for dignity and subsequent punishment, desperately begging for help like the two brothers.
Seeing that the other party had fallen into a trap and was in an unfavorable situation, Alphonse finally walked to his brother with relief and stared at the female cultist who was submerged in the mud and in her chest. It had to be said that if the female cultist still maintained the form of a monster, . Then the two brothers would simply ignore her calls for help, but now that the other has returned to human form, seeing the other struggling and begging for mercy, Alphonse couldn't help but feel soft again. After all, even for a child who is not yet underage. Having experienced many things that ordinary people could not imagine, Alphonse still couldn't bear to see a woman being swallowed up and died in the mud right in front of him.
"Brother~that's us┉┉" Al turned his attention to Edward.
Edward naturally knew what his brother was thinking: "Don't be stupid Al, she just wanted to kill us."
"But if we kill her like this, wouldn't we become murderers?"
"You idiot~ The other party is a cultist. Maybe she has killed many people a long time ago, and she originally wanted her master and apprentice to kill us. Our behavior was just out of self-defense." Edward stood up and patted his body. The snow said while burying himself in the snowdrift just now, it was quite cold.
"But even if she is to be tried, the judge should come. Let's just kill her casually..." Alphonse still couldn't bear it when he saw that the mud had reached the female cultist's neck.
Edward couldn't help but angrily argued with Alphonse. When the mud had spread to the face of the female cultist, Edward finally made a compromise and used alchemy to restore a layer of ground on the surface, making the female cultist feel like she was being raped. A layer of frozen soil on the ground is fixed in mid-air, suspended in the mud. In this way, even if the opponent turns into a monster again, the ground under her body is still in a muddy state, leaving her powerless. As for how to be rescued when buried in the frozen soil and whether he will freeze to death because of his naked body, Edward has no idea. I am interested in worrying about the other person.
Alphonse immediately chose to compromise when he asked if he still wanted to save Tia. Then the two quietly returned to the lumberyard. Through the observation just now, Edward had determined that the cultists must have built an altar underground. And it should be a completely sealed design that can only be entered and exited using the magic circle.
Considering that he and Al might not be able to use each other's magic circle to get in and out, Edward finally had no choice but to dig a hole in the ground and sneak underneath. Before taking action, Edward used alchemy to help Alphonse heal the large and small wounds on his body. The two brothers immediately put their hands together. The refining work began, and a sloping passage leading directly to the ground quickly appeared on the ground. (To be continued...)
