The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1681: The beginning of scarlet

Views:

Palladia followed Qin Ran's gaze and looked in the direction they came from.

A figure appeared there at some point!

but!

Definitely not human!

The tattered cloak covers the body, the gaps and holes can't cover the body at all, exposing the opponent's scarlet bones, under the hood, the fire of the soul in the eyes is constantly beating, holding something like a string of rosary beads in his hand, as he walks, While the rosary was turning, the skeleton let out a strange laugh.

The monsters in the sky also found the skeleton, as if they were frightened, they flew into the sky at once, and flew towards the distance without looking back.

However, just as the monster was about to leave Palladia's sight—

boom!

Flesh crumbles.

Without any warning, the aerial monster directly turned into a skeleton under Palladia's gaze, and just fell from midair.

It didn't fall to the ground.

Instead, together with the shattered flesh and blood, the skeleton flew straight towards the skeleton.

Quack, quack.

Another strange laugh, the skeleton opened its mouth, sucking flesh and blood into its body as if sucking food, and the huge skeleton turned into fragments of bone, which penetrated through the cracks of the tattered cloak and stuck to the skeleton one after another. However, the shape of the skeleton has not changed in the slightest, but the scarlet color has become more intense, and a faint fishy smell permeated the surroundings.

Moreover, the rosary in the skeleton's hand turned faster and faster.

Watching the spinning rosary, Palladia felt dizzy and nauseous.

Not only the speed, but also the disgust and fear from the body instinct.

It's like seeing the scarlet skeleton in front of you.

It is a kind of crushing of organisms at the top of the food chain facing organisms at the bottom.

If Qin Ran hadn't pulled him, he would have collapsed to the ground right now.

What kind of monster is this? !

Palladia was terrified.

He had never seen such a monster.

Not even heard of it.

In the 'Winter Night Battle' information he tried to collect, there is no such thing at all.

But what made Palladia's measures disappear and the fear of newborns had just begun.

All he saw was the scarlet skeleton, and he raised his hand suddenly.

At the last moment, it was still bright, but it was just the sky in the western border of the sun, and in an instant...it was dark!

A crescent moon replaces the sun!

The moonlight fell, and the bright moonlight bathed the entire city.

All of a sudden, the quiet city seemed to wake up.

Roar.

Roar.

Drink and scold.

Howling.

The sound of battle.

One after another.

The scarlet skull undoubtedly liked the sound very much. It opened its arms and made a gesture of hugging, then turned around and slowly returned to the way it came from.

Palladia tried his best to keep his sight away from the scarlet skeleton.

He didn't know if his gaze would be detected by the other party.

But he knew that the horror of the other party was far beyond his imagination.

Another day!

This kind of thing is rare even in legends.

And the existence that can possess such abilities, each has its own name.

Of course, there is also a general term.

People call them: God!

Is that guy a god

Or, is it the skeleton of a god after death

Why did the other party appear here

One question after another appeared in Palladia's heart.

But not a single question has an answer.

Suddenly, Palladia's ugly face changed again.

He, thought of the other herders.

Confronting that scarlet skeleton...

No!

There is no need for that scarlet skeleton, those monsters that lack the restraint of sunlight are enough to make others suffer disaster.

Palladia certainly doesn't want all the grazers to have an accident.

After all, there are several guys who have a good relationship with him.

but…

There was nothing he could do.

He had no confidence at all, so he returned to the city where monsters were rampant, and rescued those people.

As for speaking to Kieran beside him

Not to mention the identities of the two parties at the moment.

Even under normal and equal circumstances, Palladia doesn't know what price to pay to let others 'sell their lives' for themselves.

And risking his life to put himself in it

Palladia can't do that yet.

Sorry.

Silently speaking in his heart, Palladia was going to follow behind Qin Ran and leave the city at this moment.

At the same time, from the bottom of his heart, Palladia admired Qin Ran even more.

If it weren't for the person in front of him, he might have fallen into that desperate situation at this time.

But when Palladia was full of rejoicing, the herdsman from the southern gem area was shocked to see that Kieran was actually walking towards the city at this moment.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Qin Ran's sudden behavior made Palladia's voice stammer.

"go back."

Qin Ran said lightly.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Do you know what will happen when you go back now?"

"It's full of monsters!"

"If you go back, you will die!"

Palladia's voice raised his voice unconsciously.

Even in the covenant state of the [Siodi Stone], Palladia was still very persistent in the face of death.

He doesn't want to die yet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have signed the [Sioudi Stone] with Qin Ran after struggling for a while.

All he wanted was to live.

Even lingering is good.

But now, Qin Ran is going to die!

This is unacceptable to him!

"I dont go!"

"I want to stay here!"

"It's safe here!"

Palladia insisted.

"If you are in chaos, you will have a chance!"

"The monsters are all out, their lairs..."

"No guards!"

As Qin Ran spoke, he had already walked out.

Palladia was taken aback.

The monster's lair is unguarded!

The fear is still there.

But a scorching heat rose from the bottom of my heart!

Moreover, I can't hold it back!

Looking at Qin Ran who turned and walked, the scorching heat finally dispelled the fear.

Not only did Palladia dispel the feeling of weakness just now at this moment, but his whole body was full of vitality.

He quickly followed up.

"Wait for me!"

"We have a covenant, do you remember?"

"Of course I want to follow you!"

Ponnard, with fiery red hair, is very conspicuous among the herdsmen.

Of course, it wasn't just because of the fiery red hair.

Also because of strength!

In the entire temporary camp before, apart from Lucan, Ponnard was recognized as the strongest.

Even, Ponard thinks he is the strongest!

Because, he has more brains than Lucan.

As we all know, Northlanders are known to be reckless.

The Gulf region, on the other hand, is known for its shrewdness.

Whether it is business or economy, the Gulf is far beyond the Northland, and even other regions, which makes the people of the Gulf very proud.

So did Ponard.

In head-to-head strength, he admits that he is not Lucan's opponent.

However, the 'Winter Night War' is not just about strength!

Still need a brain!

as well as…

talent!

Pennard had great faith in his own head.

And talent

Ponard is even more confident!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked hard and paid a huge price to become one of the representatives of the Bay Area in this 'Winter Night War'.

Bonnard has been fascinated by the special items scattered throughout the city for a long time.

Especially when his talent told him that there was a very valuable treasure in that tall building as soon as he entered this world, Bonnard rushed over excitedly.

However, he did not act immediately, but observed everything silently.

When he found that Lucan was helpless against the monster in the office building even if he was head-to-head, Ponard immediately changed his target.

Treasures are good, but life is more important.

His talent guided him to those hidden and remote places.

Deep in several alleys.

After easily eliminating a few skinned monsters, Bonnard gained a little.

The few medicines in his arms are of extremely high value if they are placed outside.

More importantly, it is easy to come, and there are not so many hands.

Unlike outside, although he can 'perceive' a lot of treasures, those treasures are either extremely dangerous in themselves, or they will drag him into a vortex of trouble when he reaches out at will.

As for money

Ponard, who was born extremely rich, didn't care about money at all.

He doesn't think money is everything.

He wants to pursue something of higher value.

That's why he became a herder.

Compared with these, his original life

No worries about food and clothing, beautiful clothes and fine food, beautiful women in beautiful clothes

Sorry, that's not what he wanted.

What he really wants is the life he has now!

This process and result of relying on himself to harvest treasures is what he has been pursuing!

Gaining again and again made Bonnard very happy in his heart, and he began to focus on places that attracted him even more—

bank.

Or, to be more precise, in a long-abandoned bank in the city.

The attraction from there is only a little less than that from the tall buildings.

However, what really attracted Ponard was... the underground!

The fight with those skinned monsters just now was enough for Ponnard to understand what the weakness of these monsters is.

There is nothing wrong with being afraid of the sun and hiding underground.

By the way, it is also reasonable to bring the collected treasures underground.

And him

Absolutely not going!

Looking up at the sun just to the west, Bonnard made up his mind.

After finding the treasure hidden in this abandoned bank, leave the city temporarily.

At least wait until dawn again, or after the alien group and the weird group enter, looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

Ponnard clenched the dagger and magic gun in his hand, and stepped into the bank.

No searching required.

Following the breath from his perception, Ponnard walked directly into the underground vault of the bank.

The security system here has already been broken.

The alloy door opened directly.

All the way was unimpeded, and after daring to drop several skinned monsters, Bonnard came to the ground.

In his field of vision, a box glowing with silver light had already appeared.

However, Bonnard did not rush over immediately, he took out a special grenade from his belt.

Just like a magic gun in your hand.

Both are branches of ancient alchemy.

Ding!

Pull out the safety, and throw the grenade with a flick of your hand.

boom!

In the roaring explosion, the dazzling brilliance just flashed out.

Like the sun.

Hidden in the shadow on one side of the silver treasure chest, a huge skinned monster burst open without even making a sound.

Looking at the exploded corpse, Ponnard smiled.

Just like his talent allows him to perceive these treasures.

These treasures are also fatally attractive to these monsters.

And the better the treasure, the more powerful monsters will naturally be entrenched next to it.

Ponard was sure that the reason why these monsters entrenched here was to open these boxes and devour the treasures inside.

It's a pity that their side has already made full preparations.

Except for the bait at the beginning.

Most of the treasures are protected.

Those boxes weren't just for stuffing.

The boxes made by combining human, alien, and weird forces are not only crackable by some monsters.

Stepping forward quickly, Bonnard opened the box.

Looking at a ring that appeared inside, Bonnard couldn't help but smile.

Just seeing the runes on the ring, Ponnard can deduce that this is a very high-quality, very rare offensive ring.

As for what it is, you need to slowly figure out and experiment later.

His mysterious knowledge is not enough for him to see what it is at a glance.

Not in a hurry to put the ring on, Ponnard put the silver box into his backpack, then turned and walked out.

He is going to leave this city full of treasures temporarily.

However, when Ponnard stepped onto the ground, his face changed suddenly.

it's dark!

He looked at the dark sky outside in disbelief, subconsciously took out a potion that dispelled the illusion, and poured it straight down.

A cool feeling permeates the forehead.

However, the dark sky has not changed.

Not an illusion!

But it was still in the afternoon just now, how could this be? !

Bonnard's eyes widened.

The sudden accident let him know that things were broken.

Hearing the roaring sound in his ears, Bonnard retreated into the ground without hesitation.

There is a safe in the bank vault.

The alloy gate is enough for him to resist most dangers.

Moreover, he checked it when he entered here just now, and the vault was a two-way lock from earlier years.

To open from the outside, three keys and a combination are required.

And to open it from the inside, you only need to lift the handle.

The plan is good.

Accidents are common.

boom!

Just when Bonnard had just retreated into the steps of the underground vault, a tall, burly figure fell behind him.

"Lukan?!"

Looking at the person who fell on the ground, Ponnard exclaimed, and when he saw a monster with a bull's head, a human body, ten meters high, and a strong and outrageous monster, his face instantly became ugly.

To make matters worse, the monster saw him too!

Moreover, there was a sinister smile.

The fangs in the mouth of the bull head overflowed.

Without hesitation, Panard grabbed Lucan's arm and wanted to run down.

He really wanted to leave this slumped bastard behind.

But he was not sure about dealing with the monster alone.

Alloy safes may not necessarily be able to stop the opponent.

Even the height of this passage should be able to limit the opponent.

Throwing Lucan into the vault, Bonnard turned and closed the door.

Just when the door of the safe was about to close, Bonnard clearly saw that the ten-meter-tall tauren shrunk.

Shrunk down to a height that can normally walk through the aisle.

What a monster!

Panard, who was terrified in his heart, closed the door of the safe even faster.

boom!

The door of the safe was closed tightly.

Bonnard breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucan on the ground also shook his head, gradually getting rid of the dizziness.

"You bastard, almost got killed... ah!"

The word "I" in Ponard's mouth did not exit, but turned into a series of screams.

At some point, cracks appeared on the solid vault floor.

Very fast!

Almost instantly, the entire ground collapsed.

Ponard and Lucan fell into it before they had time to react.
