Volume 1 Dark Rising Chapter 8 The Sword of the Seal
With Γgde's terrible scream, her body quickly retreated backwards, as if she was very afraid of the iron sword in Zhou Chang's hand.
After Egged retreated, the moonlight shone on the mountain again, and both the fat man and Angelina looked at Zhou Chang in dismay.
"This sword ......" Zhou Chang was also stunned by the iron sword in his hand.
In the bright moonlight, it was clearly visible that this sword was obviously an ordinary iron sword, how could it emit red light, and it also repelled Γgde.
It was so sudden and weird that no one knew what was going on.
The first to react was the fat man, he ran to Zhou Chang's side and pulled his clothes, "Zhou Chang, while the old witch is injured, let's go quickly." β
Zhou Chang came back to his senses, he agreed with the fat man's words very much, nodded, glanced at Angelina, and couldn't help but grab Angelina's robe and run forward.
Without Γgde's order, the Karo Demon, who was hiding underground with a very low IQ, would not have attacked Zhou Chang and them.
Therefore, Zhou Chang and the three of them quickly ran a long distance.
Soon, houses without doors and windows appeared ahead, blocking their way, and they had to stop.
"I, how did we get to the lair of those monsters?" said the fat man, gasping for air.
"This monster is really, it already lives underground, why are you building these houses?" Zhou Chang was blocked in the way, and he also looked helpless
Angelina glanced at the domed house, "This is not where the Carrow lives, but where the Carrow stores food. β
"Then, Miss Angelina, what shall we do now. The fat man listened to Angelina's meaning, as if he knew something.
Now it's too late to go back and go any other way, just to see if this girl who knows magic has any way, after all, other people's knowledge is much richer than theirs, the fat man thought.
"I once read about the Karo demons in the library of the seminary, and they built these storage houses, just like we ordinary people build houses, and there is a gap between the houses in the neighborhood. Angelina struggled to remember what had happened to Carlo.
"There's a gap, where?" said the fat man, as he walked over to the pantry and groped his way along the wall to the right.
After looking for a while, he found a gap between the walls of the two houses, and the fat man put his hand into it, and tried the narrowness of the gap, barely able to squeeze his body into it.
"Quick, over here. The fat man whispered to Zhou Chang and Angelina as he drilled into the gap between the two storage rooms.
Seeing this, Zhou Chang was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over with Angelina.
At the top of the gap, I don't know what was hiding it, the moonlight couldn't shine through, and it was pitch black below.
Angelina offers to use her staff to light the way ahead, but the fat man refuses to do so, fearing that her staff will attract the Karot demons.
So, the three of them walked forward sideways, leaning against the wall and feeling the darkness.
I don't know how long I walked, but the fat man really couldn't walk, so the three of them stopped and rested for a while.
The fat man glanced left and right, and seeing that there was no wind or grass, his tense nerves couldn't help but relax, and he let out a long breath, "Now it's finally safe." Zhou Chang, why did your broken sword suddenly flash and scare the old witch away?"
"I don't know what's going on, it seems that what my parents left me, although it doesn't look good, it still works at the critical moment. Zhou Chang stroked the iron sword very proudly.
After a pause, Zhou Chang suddenly asked Angelina, "By the way, Miss Angelina, you are well-informed, tell me what is going on with my sword?"
Angelina had long noticed the iron sword in Zhou Chang's hand, especially when the iron sword glowed red, she had a premonition, but she couldn't say clearly.
"This sword of yours should be an ancient sword. However, it seems to have been sealed by a powerful talisman master, so it looks like an ordinary sword. However, this sword is not completely sealed, and it is also possible that this sword has the power of a sword soul, and when he senses that his master is in danger, he will break through the power of the seal to protect his master. β
Angelina paused, "Of course, what I said is just speculation, and I don't dare to make up my mind about the specific situation." β
"Who is so lacking in virtue and seals my family's sword, and he is not afraid of being struck by lightning!" Listening to Zhou Chang's tone, it seemed that he had already regarded this iron sword as a family heirloom.
Angelina opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but after a second thought, she closed her mouth again.
Fortunately, Zhou Chang didn't see Angelina's expression in the dark, otherwise he would definitely see something.
"That's why Lao Tzu often says that you can't just look at the appearance when you look at things, and Zhou Chang's iron sword and my fat man are the best proof. The fat man began to boast of his abilities again, and, repeatedly, he had found the way, and threw Angelina's reminder into the abyss.
The three of them rested for about half an hour and then began to walk forward again. I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly a bright light appeared in front of me.
The fat man was suddenly overjoyed, pointed to the bright light in front of him and said with a smile, "Look, there is a bright light ahead, we should come to the end." β
After hearing the fat man's words, Zhou Chang and Angelina both stretched their necks and looked ahead.
"When you look at the color of the light, something seems to be wrong. Angelina said with a frown.
Hearing Angelina say this, the fat man and Zhou Chang also found that the color of the bright light was wrong.
The light is not like the light emitted by the sun or the moon, and if you look closely, you will see that the light changes color from moment to moment.
"Ann, Miss Angelina, what kind of light is that? Could it be that the Karo demons are eating roasted human flesh?" After all the weird and bloody events of the day, the fat man couldn't help but think about everything for the worst.
"I don't know, but the current situation can only be passed. Angelina replied.
As soon as the fat man thought of rushing to the front, he secretly regretted it, but in such a narrow space, it was impossible to move to the back, so he scolded his mother, so he had to continue to walk forward.
At last, they stepped out of the narrow gap and saw the earth.
At this time, Dongfang has a slight gray hair, the moon has set, and it seems that the sky is about to dawn. The strange light had vanished by the time they stepped out of the gap between the walls, as if it had never been there.
The fat man touched his stomach and let out a long breath, "Damn, it turned out to be a false alarm." β
Since he touched the flesh, he was immediately startled, thinking that he had been bitten by the Karo demon, and when he looked down, it turned out that because his body was too fat, the gap between the walls on both sides was too narrow, and the clothes on his body were worn by the wall, revealing his big belly.
At this time, Zhou Chang also discovered the fat man's dilemma, but at this time he didn't bother to make fun of the fat man, but looked around carefully.
In the position of the rising sun, they were standing in the east, with a steep cliff in front and a Karo demon storage house behind, the right side was overgrown with thorns, and on the left there was a small path, the mountain path was very flat, and it was obvious that people often walked, and they could see the shallow footprints.
"Hey, how can anyone come here?"
Zhou Chang's voice was very small, as if he was talking to himself, but Angelina, who was very close to him, still heard it.
Angelina glanced at those footprints of different shades and frowned, "I don't know if you still remember, Senior Brother Taizhang found the demon clan hidden among the soldiers during the day yesterday, and they are clearly not Caro demons." β
After Angelina's reminder, Zhou Chang and the fat man both remembered that the four demons in the hidden team yesterday were several times smaller than Carlo, and they looked about the same as ordinary people.
"Could it be that there are other demon clans on this mountain besides that group of monsters?" Zhou Chang looked at Angelina with a look of surprise.
"Yes, the changing light we saw just now may be emitted by these demons. Angelina nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing Angelina say this, the fat man's heart rose again, and he looked left and right, "Let's go quickly, in case those demons come back, we will die." β
"What are you afraid of, I have the Sword of Seals, and it will protect us in times of danger. Zhou Chang waved the iron sword in his hand.
When he said this, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and he didn't know if there would really be another miracle.
The fat man thought of the power of Zhou Chang's sword, since it could repel the perverted old demon woman, those little demons would definitely be fine, and his heart was a little calm, but he still urged them to leave quickly.
The three of them walked all the way down the mountain, walking for about half an hour, and the terrain in front of them gradually became wider.
They passed through a mountain forest again, and when they saw that they were a little far from the top of the mountain, they decided to find a place to rest for a while.
At this moment, the fat man suddenly found a person lying under a boulder not far in front of him, and he was so frightened that his foot that had just stepped out of the step retracted again, pointed to the person lying on the ground and shouted: "Look, that, what is that?"
The fat man was not sure that it was a person, so he had to call Zhou Chang and Angelina to identify it.
And at this moment, there was a sudden cry of a snow eagle in the sky, and the call of the snow eagle was very urgent, much more rapid than the last time more than two hundred Karo demons were found.
Zhou Chang and the fat man couldn't understand, but they knew that when this snow eagle called, there would be no good thing. Both of their hearts lifted, and they looked at Angelina with an eager expression.
"There may be a very powerful demon nearby, let's go. Angelina said, subconsciously glanced at the person lying on the ground, and found that the clothes that the person was wearing were a little familiar, and suddenly thought of who that person was, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Ah, it's Senior Brother Taizhang." β
Hearing Angelina call that person 'Senior Brother Taizhang', the fat man and Zhou Chang, who had already run several meters ahead, stopped.
After Angelina finished speaking, she walked towards Taizhang, squatted beside him, and reached out to probe his snort, "There is still gas." β
He pressed his hand on the artery in his neck again, "It should be overexertion, and he fainted from the force." β
Thinking of the scene when Taizhang abandoned them and left, the fat man felt a stomach full of anger in his heart, and said angrily, "It doesn't matter what he does, it's important for us to escape." β
"Let's go, I'll stay and take care of Senior Brother Taizhang. By the way, I'll help you block that powerful demon for a while. Angelina said suddenly.
Zhou Chang and the fat man both knew that this beautiful and innocent girl had a tendon missing from her head, and they had long been surprised by her behavior, so if Angelina didn't say so at this time, they would feel strange.
"Why don't we take Young Master Taizhang with us?" Zhou Chang looked at the fat man.
The fat man knew that as long as Angelina refused to go, then Zhou Chang would definitely not go, and if Zhou Chang refused to go, he would not dare to leave if the fat man wanted to.
The fat man shook his head helplessly, glared at the half-dead Taizhang, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, it's not good for you kid to die somewhere, you have to die in front of Lao Tzu and drag Lao Tzu down." As he spoke, he walked to Taizhang's side, helped him up, looked at Zhou Chang still stunned, and couldn't help but scold him, "Damn, don't come over to help." β
Zhou Chang reacted and hurriedly ran over.
Zhou Chang and the fat man supported Taizhang left and right, while Angelina led the way in front and continued to descend the mountain.
I don't know how long I walked, but the fat man suddenly noticed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why.
After walking for about an hour, Angelina, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
Zhou Chang and the fat man were very puzzled when they saw Angelina stop, and before the two of them could ask, they heard Angelina point to a boulder in front of them and said, "Look at that boulder, is it the place where Senior Brother Taizhang was lying before?"
Zhou Chang and the fat man took a closer look, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the big stone just now.
The fat man slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Damn, Lao Tzu has long felt that something is wrong, it turns out that this stone is wrong." β
"Are we lost?" Zhou Chang looked at Angelina with a puzzled expression.
Angelina shook her head and stretched out her hand to point at the snow eagle hovering in the sky, "With Xiaoxue to show us the way, how could we get lost." β
"Then why do we always go around this place?" asked the fat man, puzzled.
"This place is supposed to be magical, so we can't get out. Angelina frowned and said thoughtfully.
