After figuring out what was going on, all the witches could only look at each other in embarrassment. Perhaps there was still a trace of fear hidden in their hearts: they didn't expect that they would take such a big risk to save people, but in the end they ruined a big plan of Heatherana. , and even put the sleeping place of an ancient vampire at risk of being exposed, Heather Anna's anger may not be the most frightening, but the most frightening thing is the revenge from the vampire—for those who attach great importance to class and seniority As far as blood clans are concerned, an ancient ancestor who has been around for thousands of years has an unimaginable status among all blood clans. If those hidden families know that it is a group of witches who are eager to show their merits and attract demon hunters to encircle the "tomb" of their ancestors, Is there any way out for the people here
These witches still don't understand the specialness of Vivienne, the famous poor ghost, among the blood clan...
Hao Ren glanced at the aggrieved Heather Anna and the silent witches, and at the same time guessed how this matter would end in the original history—there was no participation of two powerful foreign aids, Lily and himself, in the original history. So maybe the actions of this group of witches were not successful at all, or even if they were successful, they did not cause too much impact. After all... In the eyes of a demon hunter, the combined threat index of a hundred witches is probably not as good as that of a werewolf.
"Okay, okay, anyway, this is the end of the matter, we have to think about the next thing." None of the witches dared to speak, Bain was also silent, Hao Ren could only open his own mouth to break the deadlock, "The witcher is sure They will receive the news, but they didn’t come out directly, maybe it’s the same as what you said, Hessiana, they are going to ask for support.”
"Oh—" Heather Anna took a long breath, "I know, it's useless to be angry after what happened. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, and you are a friend of Lady Vivienne , How could you get along with this group of confused witches? What's the matter with the werewolf beside you?"
The little bat spirit looked at Hao Ren with seriousness and imperceptible respect in his eyes. Obviously, the trust and "prestige" that Hao Ren worked so hard to build before was quite successful.
"My name is Hao Ren, and the werewolf next to me is Lily. We have known Vivienne for a long time—you know, Vivienne is an anomaly among the blood races. As long as you don't provoke her, she can be with any race." Get together. As for these witches... I met them by chance, I didn't know your plan at the time, I thought you were really captured, so I hurriedly followed them to save people."
"Miss Vivienne is still friends with werewolves?" Heatherana stared at Lily like a rare animal, which attracted the latter's wide-eyed stares. All that's left is the literal 'beating' into one piece... Tsk tsk, this werewolf must be an unprecedented weirdness."
If an ordinary werewolf heard Hesiana's remarks, he would have jumped into a rage, but Lily just frowned and grinned at Hesiana, then lowered her head and gnawed on the snacks.
Heather Anna: "...he really is an abnormal guy."
"What are you going to do next?" Hao Ren looked at the little bat spirit, "Sooner or later the demon hunters will come, and there must be more than one or two. Vivienne's sleeping place may not be kept, you have to go back Is the City of Shadows moving rescuers?"
"The City of Shadows won't send anyone," Heatherana bit her lips, her face full of disdain, "there are a bunch of frightened wastes there, let them come out and confront the demon hunter's hunting team It would be better to let them die than to fight—and to be honest, any sanctuary does not have the ability to confront demon hunters head-on. Once the city of shadows is exposed, it will inevitably be surrounded by demon hunters , everyone can’t take the risk.”
It seems that today's Hessiana has not established her own power in the Athens Sanctuary, and lacks the right to speak and appeal. She just uses Vivienne's reputation to be a leisurely but insignificant person in that city. It's only the second generation of you, so it's no wonder that she can only run out to do this by herself this time, without even a subordinate by her side.
"Then we can only consider moving Vivienne away." Hao Ren wanted to say that if he went out, he might be able to face those demon hunters head-on, but then he thought that his real target was Vivienne, So speaking out of the mouth is to lead the topic calmly, "Do you know the exact location where she is sleeping?"
"You don't know?" Hesianna had a puzzled expression on her face.
"I only know roughly that it's in this area, but I don't know the exact location." Hao Ren spread his hands, "She ran away suddenly when she was sleeping last time."
"Oh, this is also in line with her usual style," Heatherana said without doubting him, "What you said is also what I was thinking... Maybe we can transfer Mrs. Vivienne out, but it will not be easy. I need a few A helper to help me deal with the magic guard there—you guys, you should be familiar with shadow magic, right?"
She looked at several witches and wizard Bahn, and Madam Mary nodded quickly when she heard this: "Of course, shadow magic is the basis for us to embark on the road of black magic. It's just... with our strength, we can really help you That's the place where the ancient blood race slept..."
Obviously, this witch didn't want to be consumed by Heatherana as cannon fodder in that mysterious sleeping place.
"Don't worry, as long as you know the power of shadows," Heatherana nodded, "I can help you with the most difficult and dangerous parts, I just need some people to help maintain the stability of the shadow border—Master Vivienne is sleeping In an ancient castle near here, but no one has ever found a clue in the ancient castle, this is because the ancient castle is enchanted, its real side is always out of sight of the observer, and half of the The castle is sunk in an unreachable shadow world. I know the route to that shadow world, but since Lady Vivienne is sleeping, she won't open the door for us, so we can only open the door from the outside—wizards, Your task is to prevent the shadow power from leaking into the real world during the process of opening the door, and to attract the attention of the demon hunters. I think you can still handle tasks of this level? As long as you perform well this time, I will cancel all the troubles you caused this time, and I can also personally take you to the City of Shadows."
When the witches heard this, they all nodded, so the difficulty was much less.
"You need a key to the world of shadows," Hessiana said as she conjured a small black crystal out of nowhere. It looked like an obsidian shard, but with some breath on the surface. The pulsating bloody silk thread, "At the same time, it is also a guiding lighthouse in the shadows. You should get familiar with its breath now. After we enter that castle, if someone accidentally falls into the illusion or the shadow cage, just follow this. Go straight forward in the direction of the breath, and you will be able to join me."
The wizard Bahn couldn't help but look up when Hesiana took out the key, and expressed his sincere admiration: "It's really pure shadow energy... Ordinary human wizards may not be able to extract such crystals in their entire lives."
Barn's exclamation made all the witches nod their heads, only Lily didn't take it seriously: she thought this dark stone was not as beautiful as the "Wang's Treasures" she had collected...
The black crystal was passed around in everyone's hands. Everyone took note of the magical fluctuations emitted by the crystal. The witches "passed" it around first, then Hao Ren and Lily took it, and finally passed it to the wizard Baan. superior.
And while Bahn was carefully stroking the shadow crystal, Heatherana began to explain her next arrangement: "The demon hunter is probably already mobilizing manpower at this time, and the time left for us is very limited. Necessary rest, you must set off immediately at dawn, and strive to arrive at the castle before noon tomorrow. The sun at noon will weaken the shadow power in the castle, and I will be faster when I crack the gate, and at the same time, I can avoid disturbing the shadow world Those soulless guards in the movie—this time, Lady Vivienne has been in a deep sleep for more than two hundred years. The soulless guards she set up may have become extremely violent. If we can have less trouble, we will have less trouble... "
Just as Heather Anna spoke halfway, a strong crisis signal suddenly appeared in Hao Ren's heart.
And Hessiana was only a moment slower than him, and her expression changed immediately: "Be careful!"
Several bright silver thin lines suddenly appeared in the misty midair. They were the trails left by the holy silver crossbow arrows piercing the air. Hessiana and Lily swooped and dodged in different directions in an instant, and Hao Ren was the first to dodge. Time strengthened his rigid shield, but the witches did not react so quickly: a witch was hit by three crossbow arrows in the blink of an eye, and was swallowed by the holy power on the crossbow before even screaming. The whole person was ignited into a flaming human-shaped torch and quickly disappeared. Although two other witches managed to avoid fatal injuries, they were passed by the powerful energy carried by the crossbow arrows and fell to the ground with serious injuries on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, various rune spells and more crossbow arrows flew from all directions, as if the scythe of death swept through the air, full of killing intent!
The witches seemed to realize what had happened, and they screamed:
"Witcher! It's a witcher!"
"Take cover!"
"Hide and hide!"
Everyone used their protective spells to buy time, and quickly searched for a place to hide. The wizard Barn summoned a large block of mud barriers to block the most violent direction of the attack, which gave people a moment of respite. Heather Anna squatted behind a fallen stone statue, gritting her teeth while preparing to counterattack the spell: "Damn, how did they come so fast!"
Hao Ren said loudly: "Obviously, these demon hunters didn't go to the headquarters for support, they came directly to kill them!"
