Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Gate of the Abyss! Chapter 45: Assassination!
Chapter 45: Assassination!
On the cliff, a chilling whistling sound suddenly sounded. The thunderous roar also resounded throughout the Angry Thunder Cliff, and even the continuous thunder throughout the year seemed to be suppressed, the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and even countless snow droplets fell from the sky one after another, as if this was not the middle of the continent with a mild climate, but the ice field in the northern Xinjiang.
The three men of the masked dough sat or stood on a high rock, letting the cold wind from above lift their robes, and Cedric looked at the sky in distraction, and said, "Didn't the head of the regiment say that the person would not be serious?
"I'm afraid I just want to make the momentum bigger," his companion Dahl beside him pursed his lips playfully, he was wearing a fiery red robe, and his body exuded a scorching air current, as if the sweat on his body was like molten iron juice, "With the ability of the regimental leader, even if something really goes wrong, he can escape, besides, ......" He folded his hands and said calmly: "The temple master only sent an ice dragon out, which is enough to explain her attitude." ”
"Yes, in the temple, but there's more than one dragon......" Sidric and Dahl looked at each other. Both of them could see the excitement in each other's eyes, and from the fact that the frost dragon did not make a move to stop them from evacuating, it proved that this operation should be considered a success, and the head of the regiment should have already seen the mind of the master of the temple, so he took advantage of this opportunity, so that the thousand-year-old curse that bound them was about to be broken, and soon, they would be able to leave the deep and dark place and be able to appear on the continent in the open.
In a good mood, Cedric smiled, turned his head and said half-jokingly, "Gabriel, I envy you a little when you hold Brother Mayvis so tightly." ”
He teased the man with a strong body, whose palms, twice as large as normal, still firmly clasped Mavis's arms, and he never let go of the cliff from the top of the cliff, and he didn't say a word about Cedric's jokes, and there was not even a trace of expression on his rough face.
Dahl took the skin from Cedric's waist and said in a deep voice, "Just in case, I think it's better to take some blood." ”
Cedric was stunned and said disapprerovingly: "I don't think it's necessary, the head of the regiment is ......."
Dahl interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "I'm not worried about the regimental commander, but about someone making trouble below......
"There's nothing wrong with Hamai guarding down there, right?" said Sideric, somewhat uncertain, his brother Hamai guarding below. But the head of the regiment did make it very clear that someone had come up, maybe someone from the Monks' Guild, maybe more likely someone from the Dark Council, but why didn't Hamai warn him?
Dahl thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "If something goes wrong, it must be Hamey." ”
Cedric snorted and said displeasedly: "Our family has the purest qi talent, even if the enemy is strong, under such a high terrain as a mountain cliff, who can threaten him?"
Dahl's look under his mask was a little smiling, and he glanced at Cedric and replied without a sigh of pain, "We'll know the answer soon," he whispered as he walked over to Mayvis, looked at the unconscious prey, "but get the blood first, and it doesn't matter if something goes wrong." ”
"Three people......" Luo Lan was behind the rock on the other side. Hidden in this position, he could see the other party very clearly, and also noticed the blood sac in the other party's hand, "No, it's four ......" He turned his head and looked at the ramp below, a tall figure was walking slowly, this is a female knight, judging from the clothes and saber, it is a style unique to the Dark Council, her eyes can't help but narrow slightly, and she is groaning, suddenly, his brows are slightly furrowed, and his body is back kao.
Two people came down from the cliff, and the head of the masked group, Moti, walked in front, while another white-haired man was behind him, and the three members of the masked dough standing on the cliff immediately bent down and saluted when they saw this.
"Got blood?" Moty glanced at the blood sac in Dahl's hand, leaned down to pick up the unconscious Mayvis and put it into the white-haired man's hand, "Lord Rulnis, please thank your master on my behalf." ”
Rulnis checked it, except for her face being a little pale, there was no damage or curse on her body, her serious face eased slightly, and she said coldly: "You can go." After a pause, he said again, as if to warn: "The master has done nothing, and has not helped you anything." ”
Modi smiled noncommittally and bowed.
Rulnis snorted. Picking up Mayvis and jumping up the cliff, on the other side, Luo Lan's gaze disappeared with Rulnis's gaze, and then looked at the four people in the mask, and his mind quickly calculated, and after a while, he slowly stood up straight, and his eyes reflected a firm and sharp cold light.
Cedric leaned forward and said, "Commander, are you alright?"
Modi didn't answer, just glanced down the mountain, Sideric's expression moved, followed the other party's gaze, couldn't help but be surprised, "Huh, that woman from the Dark Council?"
Jean stopped, she grabbed the sword at her waist, and looked at the few people on the hillside with an expressionless face, the wind gently ruffled the hair on her forehead, fluttering in her indifferent eyes.
"Hey, woman, I ask you, my brother, do you see it?" asked Cedric exclaimed.
Jean just looked at them. "I'm asking you, woman!" said Sideric viciously, a little irritated and as if he had a faint sense of something.
Jean looked at him, and after a while, she replied in an emotionless voice, "All I see is corpses." ”
"You killed him?!" Cylric's voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't think that if you're a member of the Dark Council, I won't do anything to you." ”
Jean was silent, she never explained such boring things. From Avril stopping her and starting out, to the slain Blood Knight squad she saw along the way, she knew who did it, these people were not destined to be Kao's allies, and anyone who threatened the interests of the Dark Council was an enemy!
As for what kind of plan it was, it was not something she could ask, she was only directly subordinate to the patriarch, her hand resting on the hilt of the sword, the hand that had been practicing the sword for many years was strong and steady, and in silence, the sword was slowly drawn out of its scabbard, and the light reflected from the cliff reflected from the edge of the blade.
Her movements represent her answers.
"Woman, die!" the angry Sidric jumped up from the cliff, his palm drawing an arc forward through the air, and an arc-shaped ripple that was visible to the naked eye rippled in the air, flying straight like a harp.
Qin took a breath lightly, and with a "bang" slashed the sword completely out of its sheath, holding it with both hands, trying to lift it forward, her body leaning back slightly to meet the opponent's attack, her eyes were watching the flying ripple gradually approach, but until the ripple almost touched the tip of her nose, she still didn't move.
"Hoo ......"
Ripples brushed across her cheeks, bringing up black hair and fluttering back, Lou out of her rounded ears, from beginning to end, her eyes and expression were as calm as constant, without the slightest fluctuation, but the next moment, a ray of essence erupted in her eyes, and the hand holding the sword slashed down.
There was a dull, short sound, and the sword seemed to have encountered something invisible in the air, blocking its downward trajectory, but only paused. It was successfully broken, but the scattered energy kept pushing the surrounding sand and gravel outward, and in an instant, it swept out a half-circle with the piano as the center.
"No way, how do you know it's bait?" Cedric paused and asked in disbelief, the ripples that could be seen by the eye were only used to attract attention, but the real killing move was silently followed, if it was seen through, it meant that he had a gap in combat skills that he didn't know yet, and he really had to stop and ask.
"I don't know. ”
"Don't know?" Sidric's eyes twinkled, didn't he want to tell me?
"Feeling. After a moment of silence, Jean replied.
Cedric's cheeks twitched, just now half of his anger was done to show the other party, that is, to make the other party think that it was a real attack, just as he wanted to attack again, and took another step forward, suddenly, it seemed that something passed by him, and in a trance, he felt that his body involuntarily deviated, and he snorted, as if something was torn apart.
"Oh no! Sneak attack!" Sidrik reacted immediately, and his body suddenly floated sideways, but he didn't notice that when he was attacked, Jean also jumped out earlier, and the sword in his hand flickered, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Suffered!" In order to avoid the follow-up attack of the sneak attacker, he did not spare any hands, and it was too late to dodge at this time.
At this moment, Modi snorted coldly, and with a flick of his fingers, Cedric's body was pulled and swung again, and the sword that should have been cut at his neck was embedded in his shoulder, cutting his arm diagonally, and a rain of blood exploded in the air.
As soon as Jean's feet hit the ground, he didn't stop, and quickly ran down the cliff without a moment's hesitation.
At the same time, Luo Lan, who had succeeded, had calmly withdrawn and was running towards the cliff, the purpose of the sneak attack just now was not to assassinate someone in the fake dough, but ...... A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but look up, that white-haired guy shouldn't have reached the top of the cliff yet, right?
"How's it going?" asked Modi in a cold voice, his eyes shining.
Dahl stood up, shook his head, and said: "Cedric was cut off half of his neck, if it weren't for the regiment commander, you made two moves, he would have died a long time ago," he touched his neck with palpitations, when the cold wind passed through his throat just now, he almost thought he was dead, however, he looked at his hand, the blood sac had been cut by a breath, and the blood that had just been collected inside had flowed all over the ground, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this result is probably worse......
