Chapter 223: Speed up
The light that hung over the island was beginning to dim, and the time was approaching nightfall.
Although it is high in the sky, Tsukizakura has not seen the sun since she came to the empty realm, and at night when there are no clouds in the sky, there are only stars and no moon.
It was strange, but everyone didn't say anything, and Tsukizakura didn't ask.
And now, it's the time that the wrench is talking about.
Tsukizakura secretly pinched a pebble in her hand, and while Jake was not looking, she threw it at a thief in the distance, opening up its head.
"What the are you ββ!"
The thieves who were watching and guarding there immediately dispersed and hid one after another.
"Call out the people who are better than you, and it won't work out if you continue to fight like this. "Tsukizakura has lost her patience, it is too much trouble to suppress her strength to fight, Tsukizakura does not like the feeling of being constrained.
It was Jacques' right hook that answered him.
And this right hook was greeted by a sharp blade.
It was too late for Jake to reply, he was too fast, too strong, and too close to the dagger like an iron needle in the crack of a fingernail, and the dagger was embedded straight between Jacques' fingers until it was out of the handle.
Most of the thieves who were hiding and watching only had time to see Jake scream, and then fell to his knees and did not move, only a small number of thieves could see that it was Tsukizaka who kicked and broke Jack's calf, forcing him to kneel.
As for the reason, it was definitely not because Jake was too tall for Tsukizakura to reach the short sword inserted into his hand.
The thieves present, Yue Ying didn't feel that there was a cultivator with a successful climate, so there was no value in staying here anymore, and after fighting for so long, it should have reached the ears of that Jia Ailu.
Seeing the way Yueying walked over while wiping her sword, some of the thieves had the idea of retreating, but the other part of the thieves suddenly roared, and rushed towards Yueying with their knives.
As thieves who have been robbing families and boats all year round, their subordinates have a few lives, and the thieves who have been baptized by battle and blood have their own so-called self-esteem - there are dozens of us, are you still afraid of you!
To tell the truth, although these thieves did not really step into the realm of cultivators, each of them was not bad, and if they swarmed up and cooperated well, they would have the strength to fight against cultivators of level 4 and low level 5.
But what they are facing is not a mere level 4, nor a level 5, nor a level 6 that is far beyond imagination, but a level 7 that is not a species.
Like a reptile on the ground and a fierce bird in the sky, the reptile does not understand why the fierce bird flies, and cannot resist any action of the fierce bird - the probability is absolutely zero.
In the face of these thieves with blood-stained hands, Tsukizakura had no mercy at all, and in a minute or two, all the thieves who dared to resist had fallen to the ground and lost their breath.
The rest of the thieves all escaped.
Instead of killing them all, Tsukizakura walked straight along the town's road to the hill.
The townspeople didn't dare to come out to watch, and a few of the brave ones would secretly observe through the cracks in the windows, but when they found out that Tsukizakura was watching them, they immediately hid.
There is no need to pay attention to the residents of the town, to some extent, these unarmed civilians also have blood on their hands and are accomplices, not to mention that Yueying is only here to save people, and the rest of the things are superfluous.
After all, no matter how strong Yueying is, her energy is limited.
On the mountainside, Wrench and Angelie were already in place, and they hid under the fence of the fortress and did not rush in.
There is some noise in the fortress, if you listen carefully, you can hear the movement of drinking and fist fighting, and the thieves probably do not have any noble hobbies, drinking and eating meat and gambling is what they most often do.
Don't mention some other obscene and unsightly behaviors, Angelie doesn't like them.
Both Wrench and Angelie could sense that there was a strong cultivator in the fortress, and that was probably the legendary Storm Leader, the Thief Leader Jaaru, who did not hide his intentions at all, but constantly released his magic to detect and test the information around him.
Wrench didn't know how big the scope of Jairu's reconnaissance was, so when they were separated from Tsukizakura, he and Angelie hid their aura, and neither of them used any magic along the way, and they hurried purely on their physical qualities. Angelie was exhausted when she arrived, and she didn't go in because she didn't go in.
"What the hell is he doing, not moving yet!" Angeline grumbled.
"Wait, the plan can't keep up with the change. Wrench was confident in Tsukizakura, "You need to recover your strength first, otherwise you won't be able to help even if you start planning." β
"......" Angeline held her breath, determined to beat the wrench when she returned.
"It's coming!"
A wave of magic erupted in the town at the foot of the mountain, and it was undoubtedly the magic of Tsukizakura, and he began to act.
No matter what cultivator is, he won't ignore this magic power, unless his heart is as big as the floating island, or he has the same level of magic power.
The magic that had been spreading and detecting was also retracted at this moment.
After that, the magic in the fortress began to move, and the noise came to an abrupt end.
"Hmph, I can't sit still, let's go, we're going to go in and save people-" The wrench crouched in the shadows, ready to climb over the wall, while Angelie crouched nearby, trying to calm her breathing, trying to recover her sore limbs as quickly as possible.
Finally, after the magic left the fortress, Wrench and Angelie immediately climbed the wall and entered the fortress.
The Thieves' Fortress wasn't really well built, and the Wrench seemed to be full of holes, and with a little look, he could plan a very useful invasion route - after all, the thieves didn't have a sense of patrolling, and most of them followed their leaders out of the house.
After determining the bearing, the wrench led Angeline to the backyard of the fortress.
There, the two found a basement with no one guarding it, and the lock was a symbolic simple lock, and they didn't seem to be worried about the people inside.
- This is bad news, either they are not worried that they will not be able to control the prisoner, or the prisoner does not have that ability.
The wrench easily opened the lock with wire, and when the basement door was opened, a foul smell came to my face.
"Aren't they cleaning this place!" As soon as the wrench came out, Angelie had already slipped into it.
"Rammy!"
The basement was dark, and Angelie had to call softly, but she didn't need to look for long, the basement wasn't big, and there were only a few cages, and in those cages, only one was a human figureβat least in human form.
None of the exposed skin was intact, the long hair that should have been jet black was full of dirt, and it was torn off due to excessive violence, and even the scalp was torn, and her limbs were twisted to varying degrees, which should have been caused by the abuser's beating, and the wrench didn't see her face clearly, but if the degree of injury was similar to that of other parts, the disfigurement was probably the minimal.
β but at least, the limbs are still there.
Angeline threw herself down beside the man, tears falling down in large chunks, her hands kept shining with the brilliance of healing, but it didn't have much effect, and it was reassuring that the healing technique was still somewhat useful, indicating that the person was still alive.
"This person is the person you're looking for?" the wrench glanced at the torture instrument in the corner, secretly frightened.
Angeline nodded vigorously, unable to speak.
"Then you deal with her, I'll go look at the wind, two points...... We'll leave in three minutes!"
If it weren't for the fact that Angelie's healing technique was overdrawn by the user's physical strength, the attendant named Rami would not need to be saved at all, and if he moved it rashly, he would probably die. But now that you have the ability, it's better to do it.
After all, I took the task, and of course I had to do my best when my life was not in danger, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to Sheila when I went back.
Thinking so, the wrench walked towards the exit of the basement.
"Where do you want to go?"
When he heard this, the wrench was already holding his stomach, and with an expression of disbelief, he rolled down the steps of the basement and fell heavily to the ground.
Hearing the sound, Angelie turned around, only to see the same person who had been in the nightmare for months.
The tall man walked down the steps step by step, he smiled easily, the python tattoo on his face constantly shaking from the smile, as if he had come to life.
Jia ...... Aru ......!"
"Surprised I'm still here?" Jaaru the Serpent replied generously to Angelie's panic, "Two bugs have come to my fortress, I'll see what's wrong?"
Tricked, he knew we were sneaking in from the beginning, so he pretended to leave the fortress -
Angeline bit her lower lip, stood up, drew her sword, aimed it at Jaaru, and protected Rami behind her, "It's good that you're here......! Let the horses come!"
In the face of Angeline's declaration of battle, Jaaru just grinded his jaw, he remembered who the white girl in front of him was, "You are the one who escaped from the merchant ship of Chero, and now you want to run ...... to seek revenge?" He tilted his head, and saw Rami whose fate was unknown behind Angeline, "Your squire is very tough, and he killed several of my men, so I asked the rest of my men to treat her well...... I'm also very happy, it's boring. β
"Shut up!" Angeli's eyes were red, and she stabbed with her sword, this kind of unstructured attack had no accuracy at all, and Jaaru turned around and simply dodged, and punched Angelie in the face, knocking her into a pile of garbage.
As the leader of the thieves, Jia Airu has no habit of pity for jade.
"At that time, your squire desperately tried to let you escape, and you ran back to die......" Jaaru sighed, "It's not worth it." β
Jairu's punch directly made Angeli lose her combat effectiveness, although she could still stand up, she could no longer hold the sword steadily, and her eyes could not see clearly, only a shadow could be seen.
Angelie opened her mouth, and a pool of blood spurted out, "I've run away once...... This time...... Won't ...... again"
"Really?" Jaaru put his right hand together, the magic covering it, "then die." β
Step by step, he slowly walked towards Angeli, who was barely standing, and he deliberately used his speed to give Angelie the greatest sense of fear in the way that he slowly pulled his neck around with this noose.
Jaaru enjoyed the feeling of being in control of life and death, and there weren't many things in the world that could thrill him.
"I'm Angelie Gabriel...... Ahem!" Angelie coughed up a mouthful of black blood, relying on the support of her sword to keep it from falling...... After ......"
"It's pathetic to watch. Jaaru had walked up to Angeline and raised his right hand, about to cut off.
"Really?"
Starlight suddenly illuminates the entire basement, and the reason is that there is a large hole in the basement, and the initiator has just jumped from the big hole.
In just a moment, Angeli disappeared in front of Jia Airu's eyes, and after placing Angelie next to the wrench, Tsukizakura drew her sword, "If you can move, give first aid." β
"Ah......?"
"As for him, leave it to me. β
Jia Airu put down his right hand and laughed angrily, "You're pretty fast. β
"There's no point in not being fast. "Tsukizakura, who ran at full speed at the beginning of the halfway, was more than half wet at this time.
