Santana Chapter 123: The Hunt (4)
A small centipede, less than the length of a little finger, did not attract Lloyd's attention, but a small red dot that quickly appeared on his left arm, which made Lloyd feel very abnormal.
The little red dot went from nothing to the size of a gold coin, just the blink of an eye.
Lloyd asked, "Carmen, do you feel any pain in your arm?"
"What's wrong with the arm, it doesn't hurt. ”
Carmen, who took off his shirt, was trying to catch the centipede, although the centipede was small, but it was very fast, Carmen didn't catch it three times in a row, and when the little centipede ran to the back, Carmen hurriedly called Barney, who was closer, to help.
The gold-sized red spot grew to the size of a palm, and finally stopped growing, and a stream of black liquid flowed out of the middle of the red spot, and it all landed in Lloyd's eyes.
Just when Barney finally came up with a good way to dust off the little centipede with his clothes, Lloyd came to Carmen, grabbed Carmen's left arm, and said, "Your arms are like this, don't you feel anything at all?"
Carmen noticed the change in her arms, and her frightened face turned blue.
"You bear with me. ”
Lloyd took out a knife and cut a hole in the middle of the red spot, then grabbed Carmen's arm with both hands and squeezed it hard, mixing red and black liquid flowing out of the opening.
"This centipede should be very poisonous, I'm going to squeeze out all the toxins, you endure some pain. ”
"It's okay, you squeeze hard, it doesn't hurt at all. ”
"Doesn't it hurt?"
Faced with Lloyd's surprised question, Carmen replied without the slightest change in her expression: "It doesn't hurt." ”
"And what about here?"
Along the end of his arm, ten centimeters from the erythema, Lloyd squeezed it harder.
"It still doesn't hurt. ”
Lloyd's hand was again lifted twenty centimeters from the erythema, and before he could be questioned, he heard Carmen call softly, "Pain, pain...... You tap. ”
Comparing the two, everyone already knows that Carmen's arm has lost her sense of pain after being bitten by a centipede.
This is a manifestation of poisoning.
Church conjured a small medicine bottle in his hand as if by magic, handed it to Carmen and said, "This is a magic potion, it has an antidote effect, you drink it quickly, I hope it has some effect." ”
Letting go of their previous preconceptions and helping each other, Lloyd cast an approving look at Church.
"Let's go quickly, what if there are other centipedes?"
Joanna was most afraid of small bugs or something, urging everyone to leave quickly.
As the strongest warrior in the team, Lloyd took the initiative to lead the way, the most dangerous position, placing the four magicians Princess Novia, Joanna, Church, and Barney in the middle, and at the back of the team were Carmen and another student of the Imperial Knight Academy.
The seven-man team cautiously walked in the direction of return.
On the other side, Cohen followed the direction of Cardinal Quleton's Red Finger and also found the location where the team was attacked by Kai and others.
The thick smell of blood, the corpses lying on the ground, made Cohen feel anxious.
Nothing will happen to Novia, right?
Cohen turned the corpse over and identified it, but Novia was not found lying there, which eased Cohen's anxiety a little.
On a stone, Cohen made a new discovery, a piece of black gauze.
This kind of gauze, Cohen is all too familiar, it is the gauze that hangs from the brim of Princess Novia's hat.
"They're supposed to be going in this direction. ”
They are said because there are others besides this piece of black gauze.
Rubble rubbing against the walls of the cave.
A beautifully decorated scabbard.
Brass buckles on shoes.
These are left behind by a hasty escape.
Cohen already has a rough idea in his heart, Novia and Joanna must be together, Church and Barney will follow Joanna closely, and Lloyd will follow Novia, and this team will naturally not be less.
After determining the direction, Cohen immediately chased after him.
After walking for about ten minutes, there was finally a hint of movement, and a voice came from the front.
Having finally found a living man, Cohen quickened his pace excitedly, getting closer, and his voice could be heard more clearly.
No, this voice is familiar, but it's not from the Holy See coalition.
Who is it?
A pair of black wings slowly emerged in Cohen's mind.
Kai, the deputy hall master of the Blood Hades Temple, he is also here, Cohen didn't dare to be careless, and walked over cautiously to find out the situation first.
"I'm so afraid to do something, but I'm the most gentle to a beautiful woman. ”
After a burst of unbridled laughter, Kai continued, "As long as you obediently obey me, I will definitely not hurt you." ”
"Shameless. ”
Church shouted at Kai in a loud voice, his angry eyes glaring into two large brass bells.
Kai almost ignored Church's righteous indignation, didn't even look at him, and said, "You still save your energy, you involve a wound, the faster the blood flows, and you die faster." ”
Badly injured and fell to the ground, Qiu Qi couldn't move, but continued to fight with his mouth, and was knocked on the head by Daisy with the spine of his sword, and fainted to the ground.
The two of them were lying on the ground, dead and unknown, Church fainted, and Lloyd, Barney, Joanna, and Novia were taken to a corner by Kai, Salou, and Daisy, and Lloyd held his sword in front of him, but he did not dare to stop and take the initiative to attack.
The strength of these three nightcrawlers, Lloyd naturally knows, any one of them can fight with him, let alone face three, he doesn't dare to move, he can't run, there is Princess Novia behind him, he must stay here.
Lloyd rudely spat on the ground, without the slightest aristocratic demeanor, and scolded the three nightkin ancestors in front of him for eighteen generations.
In any case, he would not have thought that the whereabouts of several of them had already been grasped by the other party, and the little centipede was deliberately released by Salou, and the numb arm made Carmen's arm sluggish, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, otherwise when he was ambushed by the three of them, he would not have died under the opponent's sword without two moves.
Another warrior in the team also died, and Church was seriously injured by the female nightkin who rushed out in an instant, and lost her combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, the winged Nightkin didn't make a move, otherwise, at least another one would have fallen on his side.
Lloyd gripped the hilt of his sword hard, ready to die in battle.
