Chapter 12: Confronting Life and Death

The battle began when the first griffin whistle was heard in the sky.

As a bird of prey, the griffin has the ability to fly and shuttle back and forth in the sky. Although I haven't entered the old ruins yet, I can feel how fierce the battle is from the sound of the huge chaotic fighting.

Zhou Yan and Yoyo hid under the shadows of the trees, and from time to time they could see griffins flying in the sky. But the two had no intention of provoking the griffon, nor did they intend to attract unnecessary attention.

Rao made a circle large enough to enter the old ruins from the other direction. But soon Zhou Yan began to worry, because he didn't know the terrain here.

"It seems that I made a mistake." Zhou Yan said to Youyou with a wry smile.

"Let's go, let's take one step at a time." That's all you said.

After the two of them walked into the old ruins, they could only judge the direction while looking into the distance. After a short time, it turned into a roadway, which was about two meters wide, and the walls on both sides were also two meters high. While walking forward cautiously, Zhou Yan would look up at the sky every few minutes. Griffons can be seen circling and swooping in the distance, which should be the main battlefield.

But the two didn't go far, and Zhou Yan signaled Youyou to stop.

"What, what's wrong?" Yoyo looked a little uneasy, after all, the sounds of those fights could be heard here, even Zhou Yan was nervous in his heart, and Yoyo was naturally no exception.

Zhou Yan didn't answer Youyou, or almost when Youyou opened his mouth to ask, he had already swung his sword and swept to his side, only to hear a clanging sound, and a crossbow arrow about twenty centimeters long was swept aside by him.

"Yo-yo, lean against the wall and hide!" Zhou Yan reminded, and Yoyo immediately obediently leaned his body against the wall.

As for Zhou Yan, he kept scanning the surroundings. Even if you push back the trajectory of the crossbow arrow that was shot just now, you can't find the shooter, and it seems that the opponent has already transitioned.

"Mr. Yan, there!" Leaning against the wall, Yoyo, who had already taken out his staff, suddenly spoke out and pointed to the ground in front of Zhou Yan.

Although it was only for a short moment, Yoyo still saw that the ground there moved irregularly. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that it is simply protruding.

When Zhou Yan put his eyes there, the ground suddenly moved. It turned out to be a camouflage cloth of the same color as the ground.

The camouflage cloth was suddenly lifted, reflecting the sunlight, and the short spear that shook people's eyes uncomfortably poked out first, and stabbed straight into Zhou Yan's throat.

Although his eyes were a little uncomfortable from the dazzling light and he couldn't see clearly ahead, Zhou Yan didn't need to keep an eye on the other party all the time due to his years of training.

Judging by the sound of the wind and experience, the black longsword swung forward with ease. After the short spear was swung away, Zhou Yan continued to move forward without hesitation, and the long sword stabbed all the way along the barrel of the spear.

Just hearing the sound of "poof" and the feedback transmitted through the long sword in his hand, Zhou Yan knew that he had stabbed the other party. But the other party was still moving, and he was trying to retreat from the pain of being pierced by the long sword.

At this time, Zhou Yan really saw the other party clearly. It's no wonder that the sword that was originally stabbed to the heart didn't stab the opponent to death, because although the opponent is a humanoid creature, he is only about one meter five in height, with green skin and straight and long ears, isn't this a goblin? It's no wonder that a sword that was originally judged by adults would stab off.

The goblin who had been impaled through the shoulder by Zhou Yan let out a piercing scream, and the creature's small eyes revealed a thin fire of hatred.

The loud cry of the goblin made Zhou Yan feel inexplicably irritable. There seemed to be some violent love in my heart that had been ignited: "What is it called!" ”

He yelled, and was about to rush over and stab again. But when he took the step, he realized......

The hands were shaking, and they were shaking violently. Even his body began to tremble.

Living in a peaceful world in his previous life, even if he practiced swords, Zhou Yan was not a human being, and he didn't even hurt a chicken. But just now, the long sword pierced the enemy's body, slicing the opponent's muscles, forcing the blood to fill the air with a disgusting smell.

This qiē was something that Zhou Yan could never have imagined. When Zhou Yan was shocked by this, he suddenly reminded him:

"Mr. Yan, be careful!"

You don't have to look at it, the wind behind you already indicates that someone is rushing behind you. Although his body was still trembling, he turned around completely instinctively, and the long sword was easily handed out. Because I already had an impression of the goblin, the position of the stab was naturally fine-tuned down a bit this time.

With a pop, when Zhou Yan saw the other party clearly, the long sword also took advantage of the situation and passed into the other party's throat. A large amount of blood flowed from the goblin's mouth covered with tiny fangs. Those eyes were rapidly losing their brilliance. But the only remaining survival ** still let it reach out and want to grab Zhou Yan's neck.

Zhou Yan raised his other hand to block the claw of the dying goblin reaching over to choke his neck, and the claw then turned into an arm that grabbed Zhou Yan. A hoarse and unpleasant sound came from his throat, as irritating as a broken seal. Because of the last burst of vitality, Zhou Yan felt the vigor of this goblin's hand. But this force comes and goes as fast as it comes.

The goblin who lost his life weighed down on his whole body. Zhou Yan, who couldn't dodge, was crushed to the ground by the goblin's corpse. At this time, he only heard a whistling, and a fireball flew in front of his eyes, hitting the goblin who was stabbed by Zhou Yan before and was turning to escape.

The goblin let out a short shriek, then crashed into the wall with the force of the fireball, killing him instantly.

"Mr. Yan, are you alright?" After Yoyo killed the goblin, he hurriedly ran over to help Zhou Yan push away the goblin's corpse.

But Zhou Yan pushed away the goblin's corpse faster than she thought, and pushed away Yoyo who wanted to reach out and pull him up in a way that could almost be described as brutal.

Zhou Yan, who pushed away Youyou, didn't even bother with his sword, and staggered to the wall: "Vomit ......"

Youyou, who was rudely pushed away by Zhou Yan and had a little resentment, disappeared when he saw Zhou Yan like this.

It was so uncomfortable, so nauseous, it felt like my whole stomach was going to turn over and twitch. It was as if he was about to be squeezed into a ball, his throat was very dry, and his whole body was still shaking. Exhausted of his strength, he still couldn't stop retching. The feeling of pantothenic acid hit all the way to the throat. The smell of blood wafted in from my nostrils alone, and I felt like my mouth was filled with blood. So I couldn't help but retch again.

There was also a lot of blood on his body, and when he was retching, he could look down and see that the newly bought clothes had been stained red with blood, and the warmth of the gradually cooling blood became cold, which also made the clothes wet and greasy. Zhou Yan propped up the wall with both hands, struggling to keep himself from falling to his knees. But the strong convulsions of his stomach made his body cramp as well.

Until ten minutes passed, although Zhou Yan didn't retch anymore, he still stood there motionless with his hands on the wall.

"So, that, Mr. Yan?" Yoyo called out in a whisper.

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Zhou Yan let out a weak voice, and he reluctantly turned around. Then he shook back to the lilac goblin he had killed, and drew the sword that was stuck in the other's heart.

Seeing that Zhou Yan's face was frighteningly pale, Yoyo showed a worried expression: "Yan, Mr. Yan, you, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, intending to smile to hide his current exhaustion and weakness.

This is the moment when the change happened, without the slightest warning.

"Yan ......" exclaimed leisurely, and only had time to utter a syllable of one word.

And Zhou Yan just felt the wind behind him, and his body didn't have time to turn back, so he could only dodge to the side. But the next moment came the pain of being pierced by a sharp object in the chest.

"Ah!!h Zhou Yan let out a miserable cry.

It hurts so much that it hurts so ......much that it hurts so

The painful feeling almost filled his brain, and even the shoulder that was cut by Bai Yin yesterday didn't hurt so much. Moreover, the wound had been treated by the priests of the city after the sacrifice had been received with the gold coins, and now even the scar could not be seen.

But the wound at this moment was so fresh and painful, and if it wasn't for Zhou Yan's subconscious deviation, this knife would have pierced his heart, maybe then he wouldn't have to experience this pain.

Bai Yin, who succeeded in one blow, made a slight mistake because of Zhou Yan's deviation and did not pierce his heart. Just as he was about to move the short knife laterally immediately, when he saw that Zhou Yan had reached out to grab her wrist, he directly pulled out the short knife without thinking about it, bounced back lightly, and opened up the distance between him and Zhou Yan after a few consecutive back jumps.

Zhou Yan, whose chest and back were pierced, covered the wound with his hands, but the blood still kept flowing out. So his own blood was mixed with the blood of the goblins before, but luckily his clothes were black, so he didn't see the color of the bleeding. However, because of the painful stimulation and the shadow brought by a moment of life and death, it suppressed Zhou Yan's fear and confusion caused by the first killing. This has to be said to be somewhat ironic.

Yoyo ran over in a panic, and when he saw Zhou Yan's bleeding wound, he was also frightened, and his face turned pale.

"It's fine." Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, trying to keep his composure, but just seeing his trembling body and his equally frightened face, these two words were not convincing.

After Zhou Yan was traumatized, the true qi in his body automatically began to run. The warm feeling of this force made Zhou Yan barely get completely flustered. But he still felt a little stiff physically.

The flow of true qi also promoted the self-healing of the wound, and although it was impossible to heal completely at once, at least the bleeding stopped. Otherwise, if he continued to bleed for a while, Zhou Yan would probably die of shock due to bleeding.

Bai Yin stood not far away, and the short knife in his hand had beads of blood flowing straight down the blade to the tip of the knife, and then couldn't withstand the pressure of gravity and fell.

"Kill you meow!" Bai Yin is still wearing a skirt, but this time in addition to white, the edge of the skirt is also dotted with little red plums. At first glance, it looks like blood splattered on it.

Zhou Yan didn't have the energy to appreciate Bai Yin's new costume at this time, he carefully set up his posture, but the wound involved made his brows frown.

After seeing Zhou Yan's movements, he retreated for a distance. If Zhou Yan and Bai Yin go to war for a while, she will use magic to support remotely.

But at this time, in Zhou Yan's mind, Li, who had been silent as if it had disappeared, spoke: "Yan, can you let me talk to her?" ”

"At this time? How to do it? Zhou Yan asked quietly in his mind, his eyes firmly fixed on Bai Yin to prevent her from attacking suddenly.

"It's simple, as long as you promise me." Li didn't answer directly, but urged a little anxiously.

"If you don't explain it to me, how can I agree?"

"Please!"

However, Li, who claims to be a god, suddenly said such a sentence with a weak posture.
