Chapter 20: The Enemy's Tracks
The vine demon man Sasa was very depressed, originally he wanted to have a good time in the human world, but he didn't expect to receive a spiritual call from the temple after only one day of walking, and he had no choice but to return.
But even if he went forward, his wish would not be realized, as the Sedaon region prepared to wage war against the Marsh tribes, and the order to requisition was given, countless farmers, civilians, and craftsmen took up rudimentary weapons to participate in this holy war, and even some women were dragged into the battlefield to do auxiliary logistics.
Therefore, in many places, except for the elderly and children, there is no one to see any people.
In the once thriving bazaar, you can still see the Swamp Miniks selling monster skins and yams with hunting bows on their backs, but now all that remains is a deserted open space and debris littered on the ground.
Rolling in the sky were pre-war clouds.
The river was gloomy and seemed to freeze the soul.
However, the surface of the water, which had been unwavering, fluctuated a little as Sasa and Gray passed by, like a monster waving its hands at the bottom of the river.
Sasa let out a "huh", couldn't help but look intently, and shouted, "Soul Mirror Language?" He hurriedly recited a few short spell verses.
The river in front of him formed a circle as if it had suddenly been pulled out, and then it began to flicker like a silent image.
Sasa glanced at it and said in shock, "Camilla?"
In the picture, Kaga is lying on the ground, and Camilla is fighting with a man in a priest's robe, when the scenes flashed past, finally Camilla was sealed in a piece of ice, the shining ice crystals emitted a dazzling light, the priest was wrapped in black and purple mist, half a foot away from his hand there was a book suspended in the air, the parchment page was painted with mysterious and complicated patterns, and the person was also followed by a mighty ice leopard with white and gold fur, the priest seemed to be chanting a spell, as he pointed out to Camilla, a terrifying scene appeared, and Camilla, who was still intact, turned into a withered half-skeleton in an instant, leaving only a pair of black eyes looking weakly at Sasa and Gray by the river.
Sasa opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
Gray, still with that expressionless face, muffled and said, "She's dead." ”
Sasa's body trembled, his eyes showed a little gloom, and even the fog hovering around his body was a little less, Gray did not mean death in the usual sense, in the doctrine of Modoism, the soul of believers can return to the arms of the main god after the physical death, and when the god Modo reigns on the earth, they will be resurrected again.
However, using the Soul Mirror method comes at the cost of sacrificing her own soul, which means that she will never have a day of recovery.
Camilla did not hesitate to sacrifice her soul to pass on the message that she was killed, and her hatred for Luo Lan has reached the point of no return, which can be described as a real death.
Saxa finally came to his senses, but he put the sorrow behind him in an instant, for he suddenly felt that there would be no one to restrain his movements, and no one to pick his skin again.
Thinking of this, he felt that Camilla's death might not be a good thing, and as for Kajah, the guy who only stayed in the initial stage was not worth his attention.
After a while, he held his head in distress and pondered, "What did Camilla want to tell us? The method used by the person who killed her? No, she wanted to tell this person that she wanted to kill us? Gray, is there anything else I didn't think of?"
Gray was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "She wants us to avenge her. ”
"Revenge?" said Sassar, who patted his head, and then wondered again, "Why should we avenge her, she will die if she dies." ”
Gray took a moment before he spoke, "But the man has already come." ”
"Hey, how do you know?" Sasa was so curious that he looked left and right into the distance without any scruples, as if he didn't take it to heart at all, and kept shouting, "Where, where?"
Gray was silent at first, and then said slowly: "Just now, the breath of a demonic beast appeared near us, but it suddenly disappeared, the fluctuation of that source power is much stronger than that of humans, but I can't sense the fluctuations of that human, I don't have Camilla's smart perception." ”
"The white ice leopard?" said Sasa, his eyes rolling wildly, "Suddenly appeared and disappeared, hey! It must be that guy! So what should we do? Go up and kill him?" But judging from the mirror, not only can he hide in the woods, but he also has a strange elemental ability, which is very bad for us. ”
Gray turned around unhurriedly, facing a place and said, "Then we'll go to a place where he can't hide." ”
......
On a high slope covered with vegetation, brushing aside the sparse branches and leaves, Luo Lan was coldly staring at the two figures who had become small in sight.
Two days had passed since he killed Camilla, and he had followed the trail of the two Swamp Clansmen, secretly observing their movements and habits, looking for the most appropriate time and place to attack.
But he suddenly noticed that the two men had been moving strangely from the beginning, sometimes whispering, sometimes turning their heads around, and then they gradually walked towards the sparsely wooded area, and he looked up and looked forward, and in this direction there was a mountain wall full of rocks.
The grayish rock gave a hint of conspiracy in the gloomy light.
Well, has it been discovered?
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows, touched his chin and thought, now there are two choices, one is to retreat immediately and give up his original plan to assassinate these two people, and the other is to keep the plan unchanged and still act according to the previously predetermined plan.
According to the thieves' methods, the first method was most appropriate in this case, but the problem was that if he did not kill them at this time, it would be even more difficult to deal with them when they reunited with the scattered One-Eyed people, and besides, he could not wait to avoid the jungle and foliage places, and the reason why he was slow to do so was that he was not sure to avoid the seemingly ubiquitous entanglement of vines in such a complex environment.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
Seeing the two dark shadows in front of him gradually walking towards the rocky area, he pulled out the cold steel knife and put it in front of him.
One of his eyes was cold to the bottom of his heart on the blade that reflected the figure.
The battle should be over soon.
......
......
PS: It seems that the monitor is going to be changed again, and it has been flickering on and off, and it is depressing to watch. Imagine that the previous flat screen display used for 4 or 5 years and still hasn't changed, and now things ......
