Chapter 255: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
"A corpse?" Leo was shocked, and the spell in his mouth was urgent, and he immediately blessed himself with a light shield technique, and watched the surrounding woods very cautiously, lest a killer suddenly burst out of any corner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, after waiting for a few minutes, the woods around him were still silent, and there was nothing of note in sight other than the corpse, so Leo breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked in front of the corpse.
It was a man in gray uniform, about forty years old, his face distorted by pain and fear, a fist-sized hole in his chest with an unknown weapon, blood spilling all over the ground, and apparently too dead to die.
"The blood has not completely coagulated, it looks like he has just died, and the murderer has probably left." Leo thought to himself, judging from the clothes on this man's body, he should belong to a member of the palace guards, and it was likely that he was one of the guards involved in this hunt.
"The others must be informed immediately." Leo took a deep breath and immediately walked out of the woods. Although he didn't know why the guard died here, his intuition told Leo that the guard's death was definitely not that simple.
Just as Leo was about to walk out of the woods, a human voice suddenly came from outside the woods.
"Someone's out there!" Leo was shocked, and immediately subconsciously hid his body, and then slowly approached the woods.
The reason why he hid his body was because Leo suddenly remembered something - not long after the guard died, if someone found out that he was with the guard's body, wouldn't Leo become a murder suspect?
Finally approaching the edge of the woods, Fang Cai's voice gradually became clear in Leo's ears. "It seems to be a man and a woman." Leo made a judgment, and then quietly poked his head out from under a large tree, trying to know who had come to this place.
This look Leo was shocked again: "Why are they two?" ”
Leo's judgment was not wrong, it was indeed a man and a woman who appeared outside the woods. The man is young and handsome, and the woman is petite and beautiful, and it is the second prince, Julian and Princess Bela.
However, Leo immediately realized that this place has trees and lakes and a beautiful environment, which can be used to enjoy the shade and play in the water, which can be said to be a good place to play, and it is estimated that there are few such good places in the entire hunting ground. Julian, who is the second prince, obviously knows a lot about this royal hunting ground, so it is not surprising that Princess Vela has been brought to this place.
However, Leo soon found that there were two other people not far behind Julian, dressed exactly like the middle-aged man who had died in the forest that he had just found, with weapons hanging from his waist, apparently the royal guards responsible for the safety of the prince and princess.
"Do you want to tell them about this? Forget it, it's better to leave quietly when they don't pay attention, and then tell Viscount Juan and Leon about it. Leo hesitated, but quickly decided not to show up for the first time, so as not to cause a storm out of thin air.
In any case, Viscount Juan was his ally. And although Julian and Leo teamed up to calculate Emmanuel once, Julian's status as a prince was born destined to be the opponent of Leo, the god.
While Leo was thinking, Julian and Princess Bella had already walked to the lake, not far from where Leo was hiding, so that Leo could hear their conversation clearly.
I only heard Julian say: "Sister Bela, you see that the trees in this forest are lush and green, and there is a small lake with blue waves next to the woods, and the beauty of the environment is rare in this royal hunting ground, I don't know how you feel?" ”
Princess Bella hummed faintly, obviously not paying attention to this topic, and the eyes on her delicate and beautiful little face were a little misty, as if she was thinking of something.
The two talked a few more words, and finally Julian couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sister Bela, haven't you felt my affection these days, why do you completely ignore my fiery love with this beautiful jasmine?" ”
This Julian is already very handsome and extraordinary, and his words are even more sincere, and even Leo on the side couldn't help but nod secretly when he heard it: "It seems that this Julian is definitely a master of picking up girls, and it is really a set of lies when he tells lies." Coupled with his status as a noble prince, I am afraid that there are really few girls who can resist his love offensive. ”
But after all, Leo didn't want Princess Bella to agree to Julian's confession. Men probably have an instinctive possessiveness for beautiful women, and they may not be able to have anything to do with beautiful women, but they definitely don't want this flower to be inserted into other cow dung.
Princess Bella was stunned when she heard this, and her beautiful face showed a look of surprise, obviously not expecting Julian to confess at this time. But she quickly made up her mind and rejected Julian's confession: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you are a good person. But I'm sorry I can't accept your affection. ”
As soon as these words came out, Leo, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but have a smile on his face, obviously very happy.
"Why?" Julian's handsome face showed a disappointed expression, and he asked a little unwillingly.
Princess Bella sighed and said, "Love is not something worth considering for me now. ”
This sentence is very insincere, and anyone who hears it will think that this is obviously a pretext. Julian was reluctant to continue asking, but a wild roar sounded in vain from the forest, and a tiger jumped out of a bush not far from Leo in vain, and swooped down on Julian, who was closest to him.
"Not good!" Leo screamed in his heart that something bad was going to come to the rescue, but the tiger had obviously been planning for a long time, and the momentum of the pounce was like lightning, and it only came to Julian in an instant, so that Leo was destined to be a beat slower no matter how much he helped.
Seeing that the second prince of the Spani Empire was about to die under the claws of this tiger, two figures suddenly came from behind like a rainbow, and stopped the ferocious tiger in mid-air.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and I saw a few rays of fighting light suddenly staggered in the air, and then the tiger fell to the ground with a miserable scream. Leo took a closer look, and found that the tiger's two front paws had been cut off, and blood was spraying wildly from the wounds.
"Your Highness and the princess are frightened." The two palace guards unsheathed their swords at the same time and saluted Julian and Princess Bela, who arrived in time to intercept the tiger and let Julian escape.
At this moment, Leo, who had been hiding and watching, suddenly jumped out of his hiding place, and let out a loud roar at the same time: "Be careful! ”
The two guards knew that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to raise their heads and turn around, but it was too late, and a large knife that shone with fighting spirit swept past their necks with great speed, cutting off the heads of the two guards in an instant.
Warm blood spurted from the headless corpses of the two guards, splashing Julian's face all over the face as he stood in front of them.
