Brando thought that as long as Veronica blocked Andesa, he and Akane would have a chance to escape. But he found himself thinking about things too simple.
With the unconscious Akane and Faina walking around the valley for less than half an hour, suddenly there was a scream in the sky, Brando turned his head, and the blue light flashed in the night.
Then there was a loud bang, and a figure fell in front of him and crashed into the earth, raising a cloud of smoke. Brando saw clearly that it was Veronica.
He was taken a step forward in surprise, separated in the smoke and dust, and found the cruzian goddess of war lying in a big pit, covered in blood.
Ms. Veronica's battle robe is completely invisible, and the inner armor is exposed in many places. When the armor collides with the ground, a huge amount of friction occurs, generating heat that makes it still white smoke at the moment.
Brando had thought that Veronica had passed out, but he took a step closer, and the lady groaned in a low voice, but opened her emerald eyes with a groan:
"Quickly get out of here, huh... Andesa is catching up." Veronica's eyelids drooped, her eyes still looking tough.
She was wounded all over and could hardly move, but still tried to grab the long sword on one side, but unexpectedly Brando had already picked up the Azure Sky a step ahead of her.
The lady was startled, and looked up at the young man in surprise.
Brando is also a headache, if Veronica still has the power to fight, he will never be nosy. But Veronica was obviously going to die, he would never watch her do it—even if Veronica was not kind to him.
Brando knew that it was because of Faina's group.
"It depends on Freya's face," he thought, sighing: "You are no longer suitable for fighting, Ms. Veronica."
Veronica could see the two girls supported by Brando from left to right, especially Brando did not leave Faina, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
But she reached out to Brando:
"Give me the sword."
"Sorry, that's impossible, Ms. Veronica, now you have to follow me."
"You know that is Lord Withering, we can't escape together, you can't escape."
Veronica closed her eyes and answered with a frown.
"If I can't escape, I won't say that," Brando replied. "Ms. Veronica, I like miracles, but I never expect them; I like gambling, but I don't make a desperate move."
Veronica opened her eyes and looked at him with dark emerald eyes, with a certain deep color.
"How are you going to take me away? I'm like this."
She looked at the two girls on the left and right of Brando, smiled weakly and shook her head:
"Don't be brave, good boy, give me the sword quickly—"
Brando smiled confidently.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, and when he lowered his head, he stretched out two fingers, the black smoke of his fingertips formed a card, and then Brando raised the card and flicked it forward.
Veronica was surprised to see a black six-pointed star array appeared out of thin air on the ground. After the light disappeared, a girl with long hair in a black tuxedo, complexion and short hair came out from the black smoke.
The delicate-faced girl came to Brando, put a hand-a woman's hand-on her chest, and bowed respectfully: "In the name of respect in the dark, go down to Mordefense. Come to serve the master, waiting for dispatch—"
He paused, and solemnly added: "Besides, it's a male underneath."
The sound is soft and slightly neutral.
Brando looked at this guy with a weird expression, and thought: "Well, this time it's a real fake mother." But now it's not the time to care about this, he immediately pointed to Veronica:
"Mordface, lift up this lady and follow me."
Mordefeis nodded respectfully, then came to Veronica and easily helped up the armored female general. Although the vampire pseudo-mother looks weak, but she is also a gold-level strength, and it is not difficult for her to bring a person.
Veronica looked a little uncomfortable. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Brando: "Blood-blood, advanced black magic, necromancer?"
"It's not a high-level black witchcraft, just a family heirloom."
Veronica pondered for a moment: "Summon the statue?"
Brando nodded.
The cruz goddess of war immediately said nothing. If the upper necromancer had a fight with Andessa, it would be meaningless to be just a summoning statue.
The power of the gold rank was not enough in front of the woman.
The lady was silent for a while before speaking weakly: "Andesa is right behind. I tried to get rid of the woman temporarily, but she will catch up soon. What are you going to do?"
Brando thought for a while and replied:
"There is a way."
"Yep?"
"Ms. Veronica, do you know where is ahead?"
"I don't know."
Veronica frowned and looked at Brando suspiciously: "You know?"
"Know some." Brando replied.
"There is a huge canyon and the center of the storm circle. Ms. Veronica, you must have never seen the scene of shuttle through the vast sea of clouds..."
He raised his head and replied as if he had seen it with his own eyes: "Under the clouds and fog, the wind rushes along the Jianxia. The most important thing is that the terrain is complicated, and I can prevent Andessa from catching up so easily."
"But you can't get rid of her."
"I can't get rid of her," Brando replied, "but I can figure out a way to get rid of that enchantress."
Veronica raised her head and looked at Brando with a look of'want to see if this young man is whimsical'. The goddess of the Cruz people let out a sigh of relief:
"Have you figured out a way?"
"Always." Brando turned his palm, the gray gems gleaming in his palm.
"It's just that there are some dangers."
It is no longer realistic to look back at this time, and the only way is to introduce Andesa into the center of the trade wind ring. Brando thought about it from the beginning, and the plan in his heart was really bold:
If Andesha goes after him, then he will lead the opponent into the lair of that saint's Hydra-
Initiate a fight between two BOSS, this is the player's favorite thing to do in the Amber Sword. It's just that the higher the BOSS level, the more difficult it is to succeed. This is the high-level wisdom that is different from the lower-level BOSS, especially the existence of Andersa and the Saint Hydra.
Shrewd even more than many humans.
It is not easy for them to fight.
But Brando knew that this was not impossible. He remembered that when he inherited the fate of the Fool, the Grey Stone once resonated tremendously with a certain existence in the center of the trade wind ring. Brando, as the successor of Grey Gem, also vaguely felt the familiar breath from that end.
That was the breath of the saint's polyhead dragon before.
Although the Dark Dragon did not tell him the connection between the grey gem and the Saint Hydra, Brando is not a fool. He can completely imagine that this thing should have been obtained by the monks in the Temple of Flame for some reason. The chase of the sage hydra.
With this explanation, the strange behavior of the priest Amman can be understood.
And why the Saint Hydras let him go and attacked Amman is also understandable.
Brando has reason to believe that the other end of the resonance with the grey gem should be the lair of the sage hydra. Of course, he dare not say that he is 100% sure.
But now the bad situation does not allow him to consider, he can only take a gamble.
Putting away the gems, Brando moved on with Modeface.
And just as Veronica expected, Andesa really quickly followed the clues left by a few people in the gorge—according to Brando’s words, this woman was as keen as a woman in tracking. Experienced hunting dog.
But considering the identity of the other half of the druid, he was relieved that the unclear relationship between the tree shepherd and the ring of the sky was like two sides of light and darkness.
Brando and several people trek hiding in the valley, their speed inevitably slowed down. Several times Andesa passed by them, but Brando often avoided each other first because of his familiarity with the terrain.
Veronica was so surprised by this ability, she even suspected that Brando was not here for the first time, but no matter what the female army commander asked, Brando would not speak.
Afterwards, she also gave up altogether.
After about a few hours in this way, Brando and his party entered the ancient isthmus first. The ancient isthmus area is the last pass to guard the entrance to the Valhalla ruins. It also goes deep into the wall of clouds. The entire isthmus is filled with clouds and mist, almost causing Brando and Veronica to have a kind of as if returning to the previous encounter. The illusion of the Holy Hydra.
But the difference is that the complex terrain of the ancient isthmus is well-known throughout the game. The winding valleys and criss-cross canyons are all over this area. There are no plants and the ground is covered with volcanic igneous rock and obsidian.
Huge rocks constitute various blind spots of sight. In such an environment, Brando has to avoid Andessa much easier than before. But what made him feel a headache was that the woman seemed to have an instinct to stay with them, and almost found them several times.
The game of cat and mouse is not fun for the prey, especially when the game is life and death.
After walking along the canyon for a short time, Brando stopped for the first time to rest. Because they lost their backpacks, none of them brought food, and Veronica would not bring these things. Cruz's rations remained in the team.
Moreover, it is estimated that this female sword saint did not expect this situation.
So Brando could only endure the feeling of empty stomach. Fortunately, just after absorbing the blood of God, the feeling of hunger was not so strong.
He sat quietly against a huge rock. Although he was a little bit cold, he still didn't dare to start a fire. Everyone knew that Andesa was still nearby.
Veronica sat opposite him after being put down by Modefice. The Cruze’s goddess looked a little tired from losing too much blood, but she looked at Brando with some admiration with emerald green eyes:
"You know, little guy, because you are an Eruin, I won't say thank you."
Brando was startled:
"I don't need that thing either." He curled his lips in a nonchalant tone.
"Do you want to learn swordsmanship from me, Brando?" The lady closed her eyes, but smiled softly: "My swordsmanship, the wall of the sky—"
ha? Brando looked at Veronica in confusion, he almost thought he had heard it wrong, and almost wanted to dig out his ears with his hands.
"Not willing?"
"No..." Brando was a little stunned. Is this okay? You know that he is not even a Cruze: "I mean, I can't be a Cruze. I said..."
But Veronica interrupted him by shaking her head slightly this time, and the lady sighed. She seemed to want to say something, but Brando sighed and didn't wait any longer.
The young man waited for a long time, and when he was strange, he thought about the other party carefully, only to find that the female sword master had fallen asleep because of exhaustion. She hung her head and breathed long and evenly.
"I'll go, don't you!" Brando suddenly screamed in his heart: "Whether you can accept the apprentice sister, you have to say it all at once, and leave a suspense! Don't be like this!"
But just as Brando was heartbroken for the swordsmanship he had lost in the'Wall of the Sky', the only awake Mordelphis among the few people on the side looked at his master and said:
"Dear master, I'm hungry."
Brando was taken aback.
He looked at this like a girl, but in fact it was a "Miss Vampire" dressed as a male nobleman. After thinking about it, he replied:
"That, sorry, there is no food left."
It's a pity that Mordefense just tilted his head, and then looked at him with blood-clear eyes—
It looks like he is a delicious meal.
But wait.
Brando's face suddenly became a little unwell.
