Chapter 167: Street Changes
In the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest at night, a terrible fire suddenly broke out, and a raging fire broke out on the top of a treehouse.
Although it seemed to the layman to be an ordinary accident, in the circles of some special business it was nothing more than a loud alarm, and all the people who had dealings with the shop sensed the dangerous atmosphere in the air, and then set off a series of accidents.
These accidents also spread to where Adelia was hiding. Adelia, who had just woken up, was secretly kicked out by the shopkeeper. The burly shopkeeper and his accomplices let her out of the secret door behind the store, and then locked the door firmly.
At first, Adelia didn't know the reason for the owner's sudden change of attitude, but when she went out into the street and saw the half-burned treehouse, she immediately understood why.
Adelia also felt that invisible fear. She scanned the surroundings and there weren't many pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, but Adelia felt as if there was always a pair of eyes looking at her in the dark, which gave her a creepy feeling.
At this moment, several elves dressed as sheriffs appeared at the end of the street, and they stood guard at the intersection and began to check pedestrians. What made Adelia feel abnormal was that the officers turned a blind eye to the aliens who passed by, and instead deliberately examined the elves who passed by, especially the young women.
Adelia knew what they were looking for, so she shrunk into her clothes, then turned around with her head down, and hurried out of this dangerous place.
Adelia wasn't familiar with the streets, and she had to avoid the occasional sheriff on the road, so she lost her way for a moment after a few turns in the rugged streets of the Forest of Beasts. Eventually, she had to walk aimlessly, trying to find a place to hide on the side of the street.
But just when Adelia wanted to find an inn or something like that, several burly elves suddenly surrounded her and stopped her.
The elves' dress and expression reminded Adelia of the thugs who ruled the streets, and the passers-by seemed to know the temper of these elves, and they immediately avoided them, and then gathered together and looked at them.
The elf at the head of the villains pulled out his dagger and stopped in front of Adella. He grinned and threatened the prey he had just found.
"Come with us honestly, or we'll send you to the sheriff!"
Hearing this threat, Adelia was taken aback, and her surprised expression made the villains even more excited. They confidently believe that they have finally found a weakness to control their prey.
"Don't think we didn't see it, you've been hiding from the sheriffs all the way. If you don't want to go to jail, come with us. "The villain boss had been eyeing Adella a few blocks ago, and Adella, disguised by the magic ring, was simply his favorite target.
She was ragged, her eyes flickering, and she deliberately avoided the sheriffs on the street, looking like she was avoiding pursuit. Most of all, she was unfamiliar with the place, a young elf from a foreign land.
This is the much-needed prey of the people above.
Faced with the threat of the villains, Adelia thought nervously, she was not afraid of the guys in front of her. But if it causes chaos here, especially if her skills are seen by passers-by, it will be troublesome to attract the sheriffs or bad enemies.
Adella's silence made the villains even more arrogant, and the villains at the head even reached out and wanted to grab Adella's arm.
But at that moment, Adelia grabbed her opponent's hand and twisted it violently.
Reaching a blood pact with Jiwen has made Adelia far more powerful than ordinary elves, although in the previous bloody battles, Adelia has been using magic to fight and has not used this extra power, but now is the time to let this power be used.
With only a little force, the leader of the villains had already fallen to the ground due to the sharp pain in her shoulder and elbow, and with this opportunity, Adelia immediately escaped from the villains and ran down the street. And the villains who came to their senses brandished their weapons and followed closely behind.
Adelia ran along the bluestone pavement, her eyes scanning the intersection between the strange buildings around her, intending to take refuge in a secluded alley before using her spell to get rid of the pursuers once and for all.
Soon Adelia found a narrow gap between the two treehouses in front of her.
There's an alley there!Adelia immediately delved into it with joy, but after running a few dozen steps, Adelia was disappointed to find that the alley was very shallow, and it was a dead alley.
Adelia turned around, and the villains were already blocked at the mouth of the alley, shouting and rushing in.
It seems that we can only clean up these guys directly!
Adelia looked at the high rock walls and empty alleys on both sides, and made a heart, ready to fight.
Seeing their prey trapped in the alley, the villains quickened their pace, and they got closer and closer to Adella.
On the opposite side of the enemy not far away, Adelia also quietly clenched a magic ring in her hand, she wanted to cut off the sight in the direction of the alley mouth in an instant, cut off the surrounding sounds, and then take action to clean up these villains.
But at the moment when Adelia was about to activate the magic ring. Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the surrounding walls, and huge rocks cracked open and pressed against the heads of the villains.
The figures of the villains disappeared immediately, replaced by huge clouds of smoke and miserable moans.
Adelia was stunned as she looked at the change in front of her, and just before the smoke and dust dispersed, a short figure rushed to her, took her hand, and shouted in a low voice, "Follow me!"
Adella froze for a second, then followed as the shadow ran out of the gap in the alley wall.
After a period of galloping with all their might, the villains were completely gone, and it was only then that the shadow in front of Adelia stopped and took a breath.
It was a thin girl about Adella's age, with silver-white hair draped in a mess behind her head, strands of hair that hung down haphazardly almost obscuring her face. She was barefoot, wearing a patchy robe, and it seemed that she had been living a long and hard life.
Of course, the most special thing about her is the wounds that are almost all over her body. There were wound marks on her cheeks, neck, arms, almost anywhere her bare body was exposed.
These wounds shocked Adelia, but the girl didn't seem to care about the eyes of others, she looked behind her, and then said reassuringly, "Okay, you can go." The bad guys shouldn't catch up anymore. ”
Adelia looked at the girl and nodded.
"Thank you for saving me. ”
Adella's gratitude came from the heart, this emaciated little girl had just managed to bring down the stone wall, and then risked herself to escape from the alley. If possible, Adelia is willing to repay this "benefactor".
But the girl didn't care about Adelia's thanks, she just continued to remind: "Be careful on the street in the future, those bad guys have been arresting people on the street, and behind them, there is a strong summoner, if he bumps into it, he can't escape." ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, the girl suddenly covered her abdomen, and then bent down in pain.
Seeing her pained expression, Adelia immediately rushed over, laid the girl flat on the ground, and then chanted the healing spell and pressed her hand against her abdomen.
"You're a summoner?"
The girl was a little surprised, after all, Adella's current disguise was a bit far from that of a respected summoner.
"Yes!" Adelia nodded and asked eagerly, "Were you injured just now?"
The girl's face had turned pale at the moment, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat from the severe pain, and she looked at Adelia who was anxiously treating, and shook her head.
"It's useless, I've tried it myself with healing, my body may be a little special. ”
