With Hua Siqi joining, our trip is much faster than without her joining before. In the process, we also tried to find Reading who had left before us, but unfortunately we still couldn't find him.

In the current environment, I am actually very worried about whether the old man Reading is still alive now? Indeed, although he does not look like an old man now, even I have to be extremely careful when he is alone in such a dangerous environment, let alone Reading. Only now did I realize that I had done something wrong in this regard, and we shouldn't have just let him go. Although he no longer has any hope for the Danmoth Empire, he is still the auxiliary minister of the Danmoth Empire after all, and he is also the target of the regent. It was completely wrong for us to assume that the Lord Regent would not attack us again just because we were on the edge of the line of courage for a few days. It's just that it's too late to regret it now.

"Can you find out where the old man is?" I asked the people around me anxiously, but I didn't get the answer I was looking for.

Banks and Iron Mountain were silent, and Firestorm flew into the sky and swayed around without saying a word. But it shouldn't lead to anything. Hua Siqi looked at me embarrassedly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm just a magician, and I don't have any talent in this area." “

Hua Siqi is a very interesting person. Unlike Firestorm and Iron Mountain, I felt that she was very kind when I met Hua Siqi. Of course, I've completely ignored the manly face I had when I first saw Hua Siqi. Fortunately, now Hua Siqi has not shown any other patterns. I remembered the first time I saw Iron Mountain and the Firestorm, and it was dangerous, very dangerous. Until a long time later, this feeling has been haunted in my heart for a long time. In fact, even now, I am subconsciously wary of these two people, and there has not been a moment of relaxation.

Before I knew it, I was falling behind them. Unexpectedly, Hua Siqi also slowed down after I fell behind, and said to me softly: "Madam is not worried about these two people?"

I was shocked, did this girl have the same thoughts as me, but I didn't show it, but replied lightly, "I don't understand what you mean." If you really think of us as classmates, you shouldn't speculate like that. “

"No, ma'am, I've never liked to lie. "Inexplicably, I have a little more affection for Hua Siqi, which has never happened before. "When I saw these two people, I vaguely felt a little frightened, as if they had some deep hatred with me, but I had only known them for a short time, and in the process of getting along with each other, I also felt that they were very friendly. But I just don't know why, I just think they are hiding something, can you tell me where they came from?"

It looks like Hua Siqi and I do feel the same way. "The man who just flew into the skies to find Reading is called Firestorm, but that's the name now. A few decades ago, he was the king of a kingdom, but civil strife forced him to abandon his country and flee. Subsequently, this kingdom was also annexed by the Danmoth Empire and became the territory of the Danmoth Empire. In the process of fleeing, they stumbled upon a place where they had not only been safe for decades, but had not yet left a trace on their bodies for decades. But all of this is what they said, and I don't know if it's true. And it was he who was with him, Iron Mountain. Iron Mountain is the captain of Firestorm's guard. “

"Oh... Hua Siqi nodded thoughtfully. "Then may I ask you, ma'am, have you ever seen the place he spoke of?"

I shook my head, "No, I've never heard of anything to do with the hiding place they're talking about. But we had met Iron Mountain's biological brother in an ambush before, and he still didn't look like an old man after decades, so I came to believe in their origins. ”

"No, no, no, no. Hua Siqi stopped and asked eagerly, "Madam, as far as I know, the apostles have only appeared in this world in the past few years, right?"

I nodded subconsciously.

"Then here's the problem, if that brother of Iron Mountain is like an undead soul as you say... “

"No, he's definitely not an undead, and we undead don't have such characteristics. His characteristics are the same as those of the apostles!" I interrupted, "and, as a high-ranking undead, if we had absorbed someone like him, then I would have known for sure. “

"Well, that's the problem!" Hua Siqi looked very excited, "Well, if the truth is really what they say, then his brother named Kress would have become weird decades ago." But the apostles have appeared in this world in the last few years, ma'am, don't you think there is anything wrong with that?"

I finally know what I've been worrying about right now, why didn't I think of such a thing before, why was I so careless? It's horrible, why are they hiding who they really are? What is their purpose? Why are they helping us now?

Wait, are they really helping us? I carefully recall every moment I spent with these two people. Gradually, it turned out that there were more and more problems, the most obvious being why Reading didn't say goodbye, or was he really not saying goodbye, or was he already dead?

I forced myself to keep my composure and not to think about anything, and I also instructed Hua Siqi: "Listen, even if all your guesses are correct, you must remember not to alarm a few of them. Even if there was something wrong with those two people, the girl in Banksy was innocent. ”

Hua Siqi nodded, sped up and walked with Banksy Iron Mountain.

She is really a very smart person, I believe that Tie Shan will not notice anything wrong, and Hua Siqi will definitely not reveal any news to Tie Shan. After a while, the fire storm came down from the sky, and said depressedly: "Where did this dead old man go, why can't I find it after looking for it?"

Of course you can't find it, my heart is sneering, even if you find it, you will never tell us, I'm afraid it's very likely that you're chasing him.

"It's okay, take your time. I whispered, "Now let's continue on our journey, we are still far from our destination, and we still have to solve one thing completely." “

At this time, Hua Siqi's face, who was walking in front, suddenly became ugly. "There is an ambush ahead. “

I was stunned, how could there be an ambush here? This is an endless plain, unless the people who ambush us can hide underground, I can clearly sense any wind and grass. "You say there's an ambush here, how is that possible?"

"No, not here. Hua Siqi pointed helplessly into the distance. There, you can vaguely see the outline of some dense forest. "I set up some teleportation arrays there, and this teleportation array is now destroyed. Still, what I've set up is a bit conspicuous, and it's only natural to be destroyed, but it's definitely not something that an animal or a delayed person can do. ”

The faces of all those present became solemn. Ambush, what a familiar word, we have encountered more than one ambush along the way. And every ambush is not so easy to deal with. But now I don't know why I don't have any worries, but I find it interesting. Now we don't have to protect Reading anymore, and we don't have to worry about our identity being compromised. I'd like to know what kind of opponent the Lord Regent will have in place for us this time. I walked towards the forest, almost excitedly. But the rest of the journey made me lose some patience. Luckily, we arrived near the forest after half a day.

Since this time our journey was completely different from the previous one, we were completely unfamiliar with the situation here. Standing in front of the jungle, we hesitated. However, Firestorm was very anxious: "Since the ambush is here, then we will definitely not go in, and we are not stupid, are we? Besides, the old man Reading is no longer here now, and even if we burn this place, the old man of Reading won't dare to say anything.

I couldn't find a reason to refuse Firestorm's proposal. And as the most powerful assistant of the Fire Storm, Tie Shan naturally stood on the side of the Fire Storm for the first time. But Hua Siqi and Banks didn't move, obviously hesitating about this matter.

But at this moment, a slight but painful voice came from inside: "Yes, it's me... “

This voice, could it be, could it be Reading? How could it be? How could he be in this?

However, a group of people who came out of the woods allowed us to shatter this illusion. I saw a group of humans and a few strange-looking things press Redding, who was covered in injuries and almost collapsed, and walked out. And around Reading's neck, a long knife was standing there. "Undead, do you think you'll be able to go back alive?"

Yo, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, but I didn't expect this person to be one of the two senior officers of the Courage Line who had a good conversation with Reading before. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, but this officer, who was very polite to us a few days ago, suddenly changed his face. Unfortunately, though, I had already expected it. It's just that I didn't expect them to arrest Redding.

Reading is in their hands, and it's a bit of a hassle. And I'm sure that even though they're only a few dozen people now, there will be many more in this dense forest. I'm confident that I can still get rid of them, but it's a real problem whether Reading will still be alive after solving them.

Suddenly, at this time, Hua Siqi on the side suddenly threw a transparent thing at Reading with lightning speed, and before I could remind him, the mass stabbed Reading. Hua Siqi is actually a traitor? No, no. I immediately laughed again, because what was happening in front of me made me sure that I was just worrying about it. Because, after that mass stabbed Reading, Reading's body suddenly emitted a white light, and then suddenly disappeared!

"It's a little trick of mine. Hua Siqi on the side replied playfully: "This gadget can make a person instantly teleport to another place not far away, and I usually use it to save my life, but I didn't expect it to rush now." ”

It's good, I don't have any worries now, so I don't have to show mercy.

However, it was the fire storm that was one step ahead of me, and I saw the unrestrained fire storm suspended in the air, and said to the group of attackers arrogantly: "You want to make a surprise attack on your grandfather, now you are dumbfounded, see how your grandfather burns you!" As soon as the words fell, the fire storm spewed out a tidal wave of flames towards them, and for a moment the high-ranking officer, who did not know what was going on, was left with only charred bones. None of the other attackers who appeared outside the jungle escaped the catastrophe and were reduced to ashes. As if that weren't enough, the flames spread all the way into the forest, finally revealing the true colors of the attackers.

A shocking scene happened, the flame that was still burning suddenly went out in an instant as if it had died instantly. At first, I thought it was a little trick by Firestorm, but judging from Firestorm's shocked expression, it was clear that he hadn't done it.

"Good, nice. He was able to grasp the energy of the flame to such a powerful point. A gloomy old man emerged from the scorched forest, and there was not a trace of his expression visible on his shriveled skin. He continued: "But alas, you can't grasp the essence of this energy that doesn't belong to you in the first place. And you, the undead, I'm afraid you're going to die here with them. “

I'm going to die here? I looked at this weird old man and wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.
