Chapter 23: The Lady of Light Sigh (23)

Maybe I underestimated my own strength, and after I had no choice but to knock Iron Mountain unconscious, Iron Mountain didn't come to his senses until the afternoon of the next day.

"Uh, uh. Tie Shan turned over with difficulty, looked at us blankly, and asked in confusion: "I, what's wrong with me? Why didn't I die?" ”

As soon as Iron Mountain finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Fire Storm mercilessly, but what Fire Storm ignored was that Iron Mountain was still wearing the sturdy helmet on his head now. So naturally, Iron Mountain was not affected in any way, but Fire Storm's hand immediately swollen again: "Of course you, if it weren't for the lady who knocked you out, you might have been taken in by death as a local door god by now." Maybe it's even our cave god!"

But instead of being grateful, Iron Mountain was silent. After a while, he whispered, "Ma'am, I think that if you let me out, it may be the most correct choice." ”

"Yo, it seems that you don't appreciate my rescue, huh?" I laughed, "I didn't know I should have knocked you unconscious, but simply killed you." In that case, your dead brother may spare us for my sake of avenging him. Maybe he's only on a mission to kill you, rather than hunting down the old man Redding. ”

Tie Shan smiled bitterly: "Madam, of course you know that I am not my brother's target, and thanks to you helping me knock me out, he didn't find me." Thank you so much, but this puts you in deep danger. As I said, because of blood relations, no matter where I flee, as long as I don't kill him, he will find me. And now, it looks like not only can't kill him, but he and his men can kill us at any time. “

"Why are you so desperate?" I asked, "it's been almost a day since you fainted, and we're still safe." And the snow outside has also stopped, so we can also be on the road now. “

"Really?" Iron Mountain walked out of the cave and found that the snow had stopped completely. It's a bit cool, but thanks to Banksy, we don't feel how cold it is. And Iron Mountain, under the deliberate care of Banks, has returned to the state of its heyday. Reading, who followed him, hesitated for a moment, but then plucked up the courage to walk out. "It's cold. Reading was swinging outside, but nothing bad was going on other than shivering. And after Firestorm came out of the cave, he threw a snowball directly at Iron Mountain, and it didn't seem to be affected by the cold at all.

This is good news for us, as neither Reading nor Firestorm, the weakest physique, has any problems, so now I think it's the best time for us to go. After returning to the cave and eating all the remaining bear meat, we embarked on a journey further eastward.

"Ma'am, do you say that the men sent by the Lord Regent will be waiting for me at the front?" Reading now looked completely different from the old man before, but his personality had not changed due to eating and healing. "I don't know why, but I've always felt that things weren't as simple as we thought, how could those people not notice us? I mean, what happened last night was very thrilling?"

I nodded silently, and adjusted my thoughts back to the time last night, when Iron Mountain's biological brother Kress was looking for us.

Not long after the Iron Mountain fainted, the pursuers had already begun to search for us all over the mountains. Maybe Iron Mountain is right, his own brother can indeed vaguely sense our place. So that's the only reason why they didn't just pass by, they scattered all the people to look for us.

It's a very peculiar feeling, and I've always thought that the reason why humans are where they are today is not entirely because of them. I think they always have special features that they haven't discovered yet, and these special features have allowed them to successfully replace the undead as the new rulers of the continent. Obviously, Tie Shan and his biological brother have such a special function that is not known to outsiders.

Suddenly, I had a sudden sense of foreboding. I subconsciously looked outside, and found that on top of the snow where Iron Mountain had just fallen, there was a humanoid pit! Miserable! I have been ignoring this matter, just now we were too concerned about moving Iron Mountain to a safer cave, and completely ignored that just now, the upper body of Iron Mountain has stretched out of the cave! And after the fire storm dragged Iron Mountain in, we did not remove the traces left by Iron Mountain before, but because of the drag of the fire storm, the traces left by Iron Mountain became clearer!

I want to get rid of the traces left by Iron Mountain outside the cave as soon as possible, but it's too late! The attackers are now outside the cave, and if one of them can notice the pit in the ground, then they will know that we have been hiding in this cave all along! And in this cave, my abilities are not at all able to use, so once they block it, we will have no choice but to die! After making a silent gesture to my nervous companions behind me, I aimed my crossbow bolts outside, and if they spotted us, I would make sure we were in control of our destiny at least for a short time, and if it went well, then we could escape. But as for whether you can really escape in the end, you can only resign yourself to fate.

Clearly, though, I've missed out on this best opportunity. Because Kresss, the brother of Iron Mountain, has now reached the mouth of the cave!

It was the first time I felt so hopeless, and it wasn't supposed to be a feeling I would have experienced. All along, I thought I was at the top of the food chain in this world, and no one could threaten my life. And the facts have proved this, before this, I had been at war with the three kingdoms of Kaiyuan for hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, my opponents changed one after another, and each of my important opponents was the elite of the three kingdoms at that time. But I've never been hurt in any way during my fight with them, not even minor. But now I found that this knight named Kress and even his horse were enveloped in a pitch-black aura. I've never seen this kind of black qi before, and of course, I don't think he's going to be an undead. Because no one of the dead will emit this kind of black energy. It is a pure evil person who is capable of emitting such a gas. It was similar to the previous attackers, but those attackers did not exude such an evil aura. He seems to be stronger than any foe I've seen before.

If it is discovered, then this time, it will indeed be a battle to the death. I've always wondered what happens to us as undead when we die, whether we are slowly turning into the dust of history with the real dead, or are we metamorphosing into a new species, but my experience seems to be more apt for the former. But this is another undead after all, not me. So, when I die, what will I become?

The bolt in my hand became tighter and tighter. If something suddenly goes wrong in my nerves at this moment, the crossbow bolt in my hand will shoot out at a rapid pace.

I could clearly feel the breath of the horse under Kress's crotch. Some of them had even passed through the dark yellow barrier to the cave. It made Banksy almost scream. But fortunately, he held back on his own.

Luckily, Kress only stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while before riding away on the strange horse. And this also made us breathe a sigh of relief. And Reading also collapsed on the ground at once. After all, what just happened was too thrilling.

"Ma'am, are you sure you're not mistaken?

I nodded, "I'm sure, after all, Iron Mountain's body is too big. And plus Firestorm got him in with Ra. So anyone knows that there must be something wrong here. But how could they not even notice such a clear trace?"

"Then ma'am, then there is only one possibility. That's why they deliberately let us go. Reading thought of the worst: "That's probably because they don't know anything about our specific strengths." So once they find out how many of us there are and what each of them is capable of, then it will be our time of death!"

"Let's get out of the woods!" I shouted, and while no one else knew what was going on in my mind, I knew that there was nothing wrong with the decisions I had made. So we didn't hesitate to retreat to where we had come before. And at this time, a large group of people suddenly appeared around us. And the most conspicuous thing is the strange knight who is also wearing pure black armor on a strange war horse covered with pure black armor.

"We're done. Tie Shan calmly said a word of despair.

"Yes, you're done. Right next to Cress, a delicate-looking woman suddenly walked out. It looks like this woman is so beautiful, but I can clearly feel that this woman has unfathomable strength. And, I have a feeling that she's far more powerful than I am.

"My name is Yuri Ellie. "The woman came to me almost as soon as she danced. And just a second ago, she was next to Iron Mountain a few hundred meters away. She's moving so fast! I didn't even see how she got here. But now she didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, but just smiled and said to me, "My name is Yuri Ellie, and I am the commander of the Enchantress of the Apostle Clan. Just yesterday, I got the perfect news for Kress. That is his enemy, his brother, who seems to be among you. After saying that, she turned to look at Tieshan next to her, and continued: "Then, Kressie's brother is really you. You're still dressed like you. Do you know how the non-speaking Kress told me your story, and he drained the blood of fifteen innocent people before telling us your legendary stories on paper in the language of your country. Yes, it's a bit of a legend, the elder brother and the king he needs to protect have been hiding in a magical place for twenty years without any changes, while the younger brother has been killed by the elder brother and resurrected into a monster that can't speak. Oh, ma'am, I say monster to respect you, because you're a real undead, and Kress-Kress is just a bloodthirsty monster. “

"I won't allow you to say that about my brother!" Iron Mountain roared and wanted to attack Yuri Ellie, but was easily flashed by Yuri Ellie, and then after a while, Iron Mountain flew up, flying in the sky for more than ten meters before falling heavily into the snow.

"It looks like you're similar in a lot of ways. Although you are far from being the opponent of the younger brother you killed with your own hands in terms of strength, you are very similar in terms of resistance to beating. Yuri Ellie was somewhat surprised to see that Iron Mountain was still able to stand up, but she immediately laughed and continued, "But it's also a good thing, in order to convince your brother, I promised him that I would let him end your life with his own hands. If I provoke him, it's going to be a bit of a hassle to deal with. Then Eurie Ellie turned to me, "And for you, my lady, I'm not going to kill you just like that. I've always hated wondering what kind of race the undead are. ”

"So, it looks like you're going to experiment with me?"

Eury Ellie pretended to be surprised, and she said to me in a very strange tone, "Ma'am, how did you see that? Because you have so many puzzles on your body, you'll make a good guinea pig to find your weaknesses, but rest assured, I won't kill you until I have to. But for your companions, then they can only consider themselves unlucky, after all, they are not as valuable as you. Reading, in particular, was destined to never go back after receiving the old emperor's orders. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep the regent's secret. “
