Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eagle

"Damn the forest! It's getting dark again!Damn it, when are we going to find it? Damn it!" a young man in leather armor looked up at the sky, swearing. し

"Silence!!" the sturdy man who walked ahead turned around and yelled at him. The hair was wet and shoulder-length, strands were tangled together, the armor was very badly damaged, and there were two scabbed wounds on the arms, and after taking a few deep breaths, he slowed down his tone and said patiently: "Charles, I know you are sad about the death of the contract beast, I can understand your feelings, my contract beast is also dead, isn't it?" please stop complaining about my good brother, I want to kill people now, I hope the person who dies is not you." ”

Charles's curly brown hair was messy on his scalp, his beard was scruffy, his leather armor was no longer shiny, and he walked a little lame, and he smiled after listening to the threats of his companions. "Okay Buck, let's rest, just a moment, my leg hurts and needs to rest...... Don't look at me like that, I'm really not complaining this time. ”

"Are you serious? Rest in this damn forest? Why don't you go to rest in the belly of the monster? ”

"Haha, there are several monsters resting in my belly...... Damn, what did I step on again?"

Charles bowed his head and cursed, struggled a few times to break free, and then lifted his foot vigorously, Buck heard the sound and looked back, and found that Charles had a headless skeleton hanging from his foot, and only the skeleton was left to rot.

"My foot is caught in the bone, come and help me. ”

Buck walked over, stuck his sword in the dirt, clasped his hands and closed his eyes in prayer, "Goddess above, may the departed rest in peace." After helping Charles out of trouble, he glanced at the nameless bones in the pit and said to Charles, "Maybe we should really ask the locals for help and give them some benefits, I think the mercenary group will be willing." ”

Charles raised his eyebrows in agreement. "Hill probably thinks so now, we should have been a little patient with those Xia people in the first place. ”

"You take a break, and we'll continue walking when they catch up. Buck drew his sword from the ground and raised his twelve points of mental vigilance.

Charles sat down with his back to the tree to rest, his leg had been injured for some days, and the wound was still getting worse, and if he was not treated, he would probably be disabled. But at the moment, he doesn't care, whether he can get out of the amethyst forest is still unknown, when they came, they imagined this place too simple, and at the same time lost his way while escaping death in the beast tide, the contract beast died in battle, and he didn't know where he was after wandering for so many days, and he could only rely on the sky to tell the time, and he couldn't even see a living person, which was what frightened him the most.

The light in the forest was getting darker, and Charles endured the pain of the wound and the double torment of the soul, and although he was resting, his nerves were tense. Suddenly, a bright light not far away attracted him.

"What's that? Buck, look!"

Charles excitedly pointed in one direction, and Buck looked in that direction in confusion, but saw nothing, so he leaned down and moved to the right angle to carefully check again, and finally saw the light that Charles was pointing at.

"It could be an angel, or it could be a devil. Buck muttered to himself, and there was only surprise in his black pupils.

"We can't always be bad luck. Charles said optimistically. "Our good fortune has come, it must be mercenaries, maybe we can go over and ask for the way out. ”

Buck declined his offer, "We'll go back when they catch up." After saying that, he straightened up and continued to guard the surroundings.

Charles stared at the light without blinking, trying to remember his bearings, silently estimating the distance. After a while, the light disappeared, and the vision was dark, and I couldn't help but feel anxious, and after a few breaths, the light reappeared, and Charles's hope also rose, and he was so fascinated that he didn't even know that his companion was coming.

"Wait, man. ”

The group of people with shabby clothes and badly torn armor greeted Buck and Charles one after another, and one of them noticed that Charles was looking strange, and asked Buck, "What's wrong with him?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you. Buck said, unhurriedly recounting all the oddities and speculations he had discovered, and then looked at a young man with black hair and green eyes. "Ciel, you're the head of the regiment, I'll listen to you. ”

Hill glanced at his companion and said something intriguing, "Don't you think it's too quiet here?"

Everyone was shocked, some drew their swords and some opened their bows, their movements were very agile and fast, and they formed a circle and nervously waited for the sneak attacker to appear.

"Ahh......h

Charles's exclamation caught Hill's attention, and he couldn't help but look in that direction, the light gave him a very soft feeling, unlike the sharpness that erupted during a fight, and the feeling of not being threatened.

"I hope you're right, Charles, and everyone be on guard as you approach the light. ”

"Ciel?"

Not only Charles was surprised, but the rest of the people were also surprised by Hill's decision.

Buck leaned close to Hill and said, "There could be a trap over there, we can't send it to the door so easily." ”

"We've been trapped in the Amethyst Forest for a long time, and what could be worse than now? ”

Buck argued, "But here...... It's too quiet like you said, I'm afraidβ€”"

"Fengluo told me that there were three powerful demonic beasts in front of me at the same time releasing a warning aura that would not be approached. Hill interrupted Buck's words, looked around at the shocked companion and continued: "Among them, there are two fifth-order demonic beasts, and the other one can't detect the rank but knows that it is very dangerous, you must know that powerful demonic beasts have a stubborn sense of territory, and three of them have not yet started a fight in the same place, which means that they are being controlled by people, and it may be a contract beast." ”

The slender blonde man said weakly: "I hope the other party will not be hostile, I can only strangle a chicken with my strength now." ”

Everyone grinned, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased.

"Our Lantis Eagle went through this mission, we were blind, our beak was broken, our claws were broken, and our feathers were long and heavy and could not fly. Either we are here to die, or we are to face a painful rebirth, and we have nothing to lose except twelve lives. With that, Hill took the lead in the direction of the light.

Qin Zheng had one in one hand, and it took four times to reshape the seven eight-spotted leopards into star beasts, and it was a big project to reshape the flesh and blood into a body composed of star energy, and it was impossible to reshape the group. As expected, the astral cultivation had already reached the peak of the first star level, and it only took one step to advance to the Bright Star Rank, but this last step was not easy to cross.

It's about building rules and understanding laws.

The incarnation of the universe has absorbed a large amount of star essence, I don't know how far it has evolved, Qin Zheng really wants to go and see it, and tries to restrain the desire to go to the incarnation of the universe to snoop, he has not forgotten that he is still in the amethyst forest full of dangers at the moment, and it is an act to seek death by cultivating astralism here recklessly, it seems that he can only wait until he returns to Tianfeng Valley before going.

The female leopards were overjoyed, four of them broke through the third-order barrier and entered the fourth-order, and the rest were also close to the peak of the third-order, and they were all immersed in the joy of exploring their new bodies, and their cultivation path had undergone a major transformation after reshaping their bodies. The appearance of the body has changed slightly compared to before the remodeling, the eight gray markings on the back have disappeared, the whole body is pitch black, the fur is shiny and smooth, the gray-blue pupils have a faint silver light, and the eyes are a little cold.

"Master, there are a few humans who ignore the warning and insist on approaching us, and Jingxing has gone to chase us away. ”

Xiao Yue's voice suddenly came to his mind, and Qin Zheng hummed after listening to the report, saying that he understood, and he didn't care very much in his heart.

"Twelve Qur'ans, it's really okay to kill them all?" Qin Xie interjected.

The Gulans, or twelve? Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment and thought of a possibility, and hurriedly stopped Da Bai through his mind. "Leave them alive! Let them come, you and Xiaoyue will return to the Star Realm with the Lan sisters first. ”

Buck held his sword and his knuckles turned white, his eyes fixed on the beast that suddenly attacked them, despite the shattering of his chest armor. Charles dragged his injured leg with a bitter face, and the Demon Breaking Arrow that he shot with all his strength didn't break its protection, God knows this is the last one he has left. Hill cried out of the ground with a longbow in his hand to stop the rolling, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and saw several companions lying beside him, unknown life and death, with despair in his green eyes.

The fifth-order demonic beast is too powerful, and the defense and attack power are terrifying, if it is replaced with a well-equipped and energetic time, it can be killed together, but at the moment, there is no residual strength to fight back, and it is difficult to even protect themselves, and the white bear has almost returned to the arms of the goddess with just one earth trampling.

"The Goddess is ......"

Several people who were still conscious closed their eyes in unison, preparing to meet death, and they could only bear the second attack of the fifth-order demonic beast with their lives. For a long time, the second attack that had been waiting for a long time had not arrived, and some people could not bear the pressure to open their eyes and peek.

"Huh, it's gone?"

The exclamation brought surprise and hope, and Ciel's fingers clenched at the longbow unhooked, and the corners of his lips rolled into a smile for the rest of his life.

"What's the matter, it could kill us all. ”

"What does that mean? warn us?"

Everyone was afraid to talk about the incomprehensible behavior of the monster, and they were all confused by each other.

Hill checked the companions who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and found that they were only unconscious, and felt much better. "If you still have some strength, hurry up and carry on your unconscious brother and continue to move forward. He pulled up his unconscious companion and put it on his shoulder, and walked forward with difficulty.

The head of the regiment spoke, and the members immediately shut up their mouths and stopped talking, picking up their comatose and seriously injured companions, and followed closely behind Hill with trepidation, not knowing whether they would eventually be reborn or die.
