Chapter 60: The Cat and the Mouse
The rolling Nightmare Mountains, the endless towering ancient trees, at this time in a dense forest, is taking place a fugitive chase battle, or a game of escape and tracking.
"Ahh
A terrible scream sounded in the shadowy, high-speed moving mountain forest, and a figure rolled to the ground with blood.
"Hahaha...... Escape, run as fast as you want, so the hunt is fun!"
At this time, the three lizardmen who were sent by Longman to capture Onihime turned into hunters chasing their prey, with cruel and sarcastic smiles on their faces, and seemed to treat the chase as a game and enjoyed the process very much.
"Mike is dead, it's my turn to stay behind this time, even if only one person is left dead, we must not let these goggles get close to Lord Onihime and the children——!
The nine guards who had been escorting Oni Ji and the children back to the tribe heard Mike's screams coming from not far behind, and one of them resolutely stopped.
"For the sake of the tribe!" the remaining eight did not look back, continuing on their way, not even saying a word, but each of them had a heavy look on their faces, and their hearts responded to his will.
But the person who stayed couldn't stop the pace of the three high-ranking demon generals, and they were killed in an instant, they were too strong, and they were definitely not able to be stopped by a low-ranking demon general.
He could only send the strongest blow that had been gathering momentum for a long time at the moment of death, knowing that the blow would die, even if it could only block the opponent for half a second.
A magical riot in the rear announced his death, but it also sent a message to the others: the distance of the enemy, and the turn of the next man or men to stay and hold them down.
In this way, these guards died one by one, and when the last one fell in a pool of blood, the ghost queen and the children were still a long way from the tribe, and this road could be reached on foot for half an hour on foot, and if there was a golden horn demon wolf to walk, it would be a matter of minutes.
But now this section of the road is like a wide moat, between the Oni Ji and the tribe.
Oni Ji regretted that she didn't bring the Golden Horn Demon Wolf with her when she came out, but she couldn't blame her, she took the children all the way to identify all kinds of herbs, and before she knew it, she was far away from the tribe.
"Hahaha, run away, why don't you run away?"
"What a naïve woman, do you think we don't know where you are fleeing is the tribe you live in? Otherwise, we will waste so much time with you? Although it is absolutely necessary to arrest you back, it is also necessary to find out the location of the tribe behind you, which will save us a lot of energy. ”
"What's the use of running away? Isn't it to go back to the tribe to be caught by us, or do you think you'll be saved by returning to the tribe? Sure enough, women are stupid creatures. ”
The three lizardmen said playfully, with cruel and mocking expressions on their faces.
Looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of the three people, the children who followed the ghost Ji were very frightened, and hid behind her, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and their little faces were full of nervous and frightened looks.
But there is also a very bold child who stands up and spreads his arms in front of Oni Ji and the children, and he is Hart the mud monkey.
Hart, who is twelve years old this year, is a big child, he is the child king of the tribe except for Roland, in this moment of crisis, he is the first to stand up and protect the ghost teacher and children, because he feels that he is already an adult, and he is a man, and he has the responsibility to protect the women and children of the tribe.
He knows that he will never be able to catch up with Roland, but as a partner who grew up together, he must also fulfill the responsibility of a man and not disgrace Roland.
A gentle jade hand put on his head, Hart looked up, and the ghost looked at him with a warm smile, like a cherry blossom blooming in the warm morning light, and she said approvingly: "Hart, you are already a man, the teacher is very pleased, the younger brothers and sisters will be handed over to you, you must take them back to the tribe." ”
"Onihime-sensei......"
"Go ahead, they'll let the teacher deal with it, I will never allow anyone to hurt my students!"
In the end, Ghost Ji put away her smile and looked up in the direction of the three of them, her face was solemn, and her whole person's momentum changed suddenly, as if she was a quiet big sister next door one moment, and the next second she became a female god of war who was as imposing as a rainbow and decisive in killing.
After countless iron-blooded battles with various powerful monsters in the Nightmare Mountain Range, and even the ghost hime who has teamed up with the four of Hyakkimaru to kill no less than ten lord-level monsters, has unconsciously accumulated a strong murderous aura on his body, as well as the indomitable momentum of the strong.
At this time, after the breath was fully opened, a terrifying momentum suddenly rushed on his body, which made the faces of the three people on the opposite side change suddenly.
I thought it was a lamb to be slaughtered, but I didn't expect it to be a prehistoric dragon, which made the three of them feel extremely unreal.
"She's just a high-ranking demon general, she's just one person, but we're three, I'm afraid she won't succeed!"
"Let's go up and take her down!"
The three of them shouted, and with powerful magic on their bodies, they swung their iron swords together, unleashed magic, and blasted towards Onihime.
In the face of the joint attack of the three high-ranking demon generals, the ghost queen's face did not change, and she didn't know how many opponents with the same cultivation she had killed in the Nightmare Mountain Range, and she could kill a large number of people with a single top-level magic, not to mention the three high-ranking demon generals in front of her.
But she didn't use top-level magic to kill them in the first place, because Hart and the children hadn't gone far yet, and the top-level magic was too powerful, and the powerful magic shockwave would affect them.
However, even if she does not perform top-level magic, under Roland's teaching, her understanding of magic is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and her attainments have reached a very deep level, and ordinary magic can exert far more power in her hands.
"Magic.Light Speed Cannon!"
Rumble!
Suddenly, the three of them joined forces to obtain a powerful magic, and they were scattered by a beam of light from Onihime.
The three of them were shocked, but they didn't expect the three of them to join forces and not be able to help a woman with the same cultivation.
They didn't believe in evil and continued to fight, this time they didn't dare to slack off, and they took out all their strength to completely defeat the ghost hime, but they tried their best to help the ghost queen, but were shocked to vomit blood and retreat.
The faces of the three of them were ugly, and there was even a hint of anxiety and panic in their eyes, they had realized that if they continued like this, they would not only fail to complete the task assigned by Langman, but also throw their lives here.
But for them, it is the most terrible thing to fail to complete the task assigned by Longman, and they shudder at the thought of Longman's methods, and retreat like this, not only will they be tortured to death, but their families in the castle will also be harmed.
"Grab those children!
The three of them immediately thought of a strategy and re-attacked the ghost in a very tacit understanding, and in another battle, one of the lizardmen suddenly bypassed the ghost queen and shot in one direction.
"Not good!"
Onihime's face changed, and that direction was the same direction that Hart and the other students had left.
But at this time, she was held back by the two remaining lizardmen, but without paying attention, the man disappeared into the dense forest, and with the speed of his superior demon general, it would take a few seconds to catch up with Hart and them.
