Chapter 697: The Land of Sacrifice
Shortly after leaving the forest, Ruth met several examiners on the street, but they were not in a very good state, and they were in a hurry to escape from the street, trying to get rid of something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't stop, that guy is nearby!" The examiner who took the lead walked at the forefront with a shiny short stick in his hand, and he should be the owner of the spirit martial arts.
"Luffy, let's avoid the shelter first, the soul ingots of the Crazy Corpse Hut are enough for us!" One of the girls walking behind still had blood stains on her arms, judging from the fact that she was not injured, the bloodstains were most likely from the previous victims.
"It's too far, Oriya, our current combat strength is not to mention the refuge, and we may not even be able to reach the halfway point, let's find a safe place to rest first, everyone can't hold on!" Luffy said and stopped, only to see a flash of golden light, and the two examinees behind him were cut with two deep wounds on their hands and feet.
"It's a witch!!Fight! Don't stand in a straight line!!" Seeing this, Luffy slammed a stick in front of him, slamming it on something invisible, and the huge image turned into a golden light and disappeared.
The examiner reacted quickly, and even the injured person did not stop in place, and in an instant, the bullet lit up the whole room, and the witch hidden in the shadow of the huge dog-like creature appeared.
"The judgment is good, but if the private family can't complete the hunt tonight, it will be very frustrating, I will wait for you to make a deal, if you wait to give up resistance and hand over a sacrifice, the private family promises not to hunt you tonight and tomorrow, otherwise the private family will take the lives of you and the other two, very good?" The witch was wearing a black dress, her face was covered with a thin veil and she couldn't see her true appearance, if she only judged by her voice, she must be a great beauty.
"We won't give up our companions, if we can we are willing to hand over the souls of two sinners in exchange for peace, otherwise let's fight!!" Luffy confronted the witch, he wisely avoided looking directly at the witch, and it was one of the basic common sense of witches that it was easy to be seduced.
"The soul of the wicked, though bitter, is still food. The witch took a few steps forward, crouched down, and began to carve a golden circle on the ground.
"You wait for the sacrifice to be traded, and we will protect you for three o'clock. The witch's voice disappeared as soon as she spoke, and Luffy carefully placed the bottle with the two sinner's souls in his hand on the circle, and the golden light suddenly shone and then slowly dimmed until it was completely dark, and the bottle disappeared with it.
"My wounds are healed!!" shouted the previously injured examiner.
"My wounds tooβ" the other replied.
"Isn't it strange that the witch's circle just now?" Oria asked the others in surprise.
ββ¦β¦ What's that? Whatever it is, just take a good rest. Luffy didn't understand what Olia meant, he lay on the ground, he was already tired enough just now, and now he just wanted to rest for a while.
"yes, yes, take a break. "Me too, I'm exhausted!" "Ah, I can't walk." "The examiners lay on the ground one after another to rest.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Oria was in a hurry, she pulled the lying Luff hard, but to his surprise, Lufu became so heavy that he couldn't pull a single bit.
Ou Liya was at a loss, and she didn't dare to act rashly, so she had to honestly stay aside and wait for her companions to wake up, but at this moment, there was a sound of feet and sharp weapons rubbing in the distance.
"Murderer??" Oulia was even more anxious, probably because of the panic that caused her tears to fall involuntarily, causing Ruth, who was hiding, to continue to watch, she quickly ran to the street and grabbed Oulia to the bushes on the side of the road.
"Don't talk, you'll die. Ruth didn't forget to scare Oria, after all, it was best not to provoke the killer at this stage.
ββ¦ Frightened, Oria didn't put up much resistance after confirming that Ruth was human, but she was curious about Ruth's outfit.
"They'll be fine, the witch contract will absolutely protect the keeper while it is in force, but only for men. Ruth told the truth, and although the witch would not attack the female contractor as agreed, she would not provide protection.
"And when will they wake up?" said Oriya's face was much better when she heard that her companion was fine, and she seemed to care more about her companion than she did about herself.
"About two hours, you should worry about yourself rather than worry about them, can you survive for two hours?" Ruth said as she looked at the girl beside her, her right hand hung a silver chain, the chain would glow from time to time, it could be confirmed that it was Lingwu and could not be wrong.
ββ¦ No. Ou Liya replied honestly, she knew her own ability very well in her heart, let alone two hours, she might not be able to live for twenty minutes.
"I'm going to go to the business building, if you think it's okay, you can come with me, but I don't guarantee your safety, if you drag your feet, I'll leave you, come?" Ruth asked Ou Liya with a straight face, in fact, Ou Liya didn't have a choice anyway, she was an exam student unless her combat effectiveness was particularly strong, she couldn't be willing to act alone, and her spirit martial arts were very similar to the auxiliary type, not the non-offensive type.
"But will we be back in two hours?" said Oria, still worried about her companion.
"As long as there are not too many accidents, the void... The killer is coming. After Ruth finished speaking, she leaned down and secretly observed the scene on the street.
I saw a large man in tattered leather armor slowly appear on the other side of the road, dragging a strange sharp weapon in one hand and twisting a human skull in the other, slowly walking in the middle of the street.
"......" Ruth was glad for this group of people, if they hadn't met the witch, they would never have escaped the pursuit of this sharp weapon murderer.
One of the most dangerous and unpredictable types of dark creatures in this sacrificial land, the trio of killers, killers with sharp weapons, blunt killers, and unarmed killers, they do not have invincible strength and dangerous special abilities, but once they are targeted by them, the lethality rate is as high as 35%, and they have lost to the old dark creatures with the largest lethal rate: vampires, werewolves, and winged demons.
"Even though we resisted with all our might, it still took the lives of two of our companions, why is there such a dark creature?"
"Many dark creatures are not born like this, they were originally just ordinary creatures, and they became dark creatures in the case of active or passive encounters, often those creatures who actively seek darkness will be extremely powerful, and murderers are also one of them, and they may not feel anything terrible in the outside world, but in this place of sacrifice they are one of the dark creatures that can never be fought against without full grasp. β
"As a human who commits murder and then does not repent, after death still craves blood and death to bring the murderer back to life, and the direct death of the murderer is even more direct than that of the vampire, and you will find it terrifying. β
"It's originally human cognition that causes your inner fear to be undiminished, because it understands human practices, you stay still, I'm going to try to get it away. Ruth didn't wait for Oria to reply and rushed out of the bushes, she threw out the dagger in her right hand, and the bandage flew out, but the sharp weapon killer reacted unusually quickly, and lifted the sharp weapon to block Ruth's dagger attack.
"Huh... Hah..."The sharp weapon killer let out an excited roar, it swung the sharp weapon to cut off the bandage that Ruth fell to the ground to keep Ruth's weapon, this kind of judgment is far beyond ordinary people, but he knows that Lingwu can't be easily torn off, and when he reacts, the bandage has been firmly wrapped around his sharp weapon.
"Ahhhhh
"Kill !!!!!! you !!!" The killer roared wildly, exerted all his strength, tore off the bandage and turned to swing the knife, so strong that it cut a one-meter-long crack in the ground, but Ruth didn't care about the dagger and bandage that fell on the ground and quickly ran towards the house at the other end.
The Weapon Killer didn't even want to chase after him, and his speed even surpassed Ruth's 35 percent boost, and it followed Ruth a few seconds after she entered the house.
Oria stared anxiously at the gate of the house, and after a while, Ruth appeared out of thin air three or four meters outside the gate and waved her hand to signal her past, Ruth didn't seem to be nervous at all, she was like playing with a dangerous toy and playing well...
