Chapter XVI. Centaur bloody quagmire town ugly duckling returns to the laboratory
What should come will come after all, but I didn't expect it to come so violently and so cruelly.
When Li Weiji promised Alicia to take Ishara to the City of God's Blessing, he had been thinking about how the game would arrange this plot.
According to the general game routine, if the player wants to protect a person, then the game will definitely arrange many dangers for the player.
At first, Li Weiji thought that the danger of the game arrangement was a water monster, but what happened later made him change his mind.
The brain-racking plot is just to bring out the ugly kid Isara, which is a bit unbelievable in itself.
And in the plot, Lingbao wants to protect her, and Yini also wants to protect her. The two strongest NPCs that have appeared so far begged Li Weiji to protect this ugly duckling at the same time can further illustrate that the obstacles set up by the game are definitely not trivial.
Based on the information he heard before, Li Weiji believes that the biggest danger in this copy is the centaur and bandits attacking the town, and only this level of danger is worthy of the previous nerve-wracking plot.
Sure enough, the centaurs came, with flames that burned everything, and long knives that cut everything down.
The shouts outside the house grew louder and the firelight grew brighter, and Ini hugged her granddaughter tightly and covered her ears in an attempt to block out the sound of death.
However, all this is in vain, and covering one's ears and stealing the bell has always been just a delusion.
The only way to get rid of delusion is to face it, to face the fire outside the window, to face the sound of iron hooves in the fire.
In order to survive in the first time, Li Weiji had to separate the grandfather and grandson, and he said with a straight face: "Senior, she will be handed over to me, and I bother you to cut off the queen for us." After that, he took out the steel sword and threw it to Li Yi: "Lao Yi, you have to make some sacrifices when necessary, I promise, the rewards for clearing the customs will be all given to you."
Li Yi took the sword and said with a long smile: "The eldest husband is inherently dead, or he dies from Hongmao, or he dies from Mount Tai......"
Li Weiji knew that this was a cold joke, so he laughed twice cooperatively, and commanded Ruoding: "We will rush out directly in a while, I will take my little sister to walk in the front, Lao Yi, you will follow me, and the seniors will break the back for us."
Ini and Li Yi nodded at the same time.
Li Weiji glanced at Isara, she didn't seem to know that she was facing a test of life and death, and she still tried to widen her eyes and wanted to show her cute side.
The shouts of killing outside the house had already become one, and the Seraphs had already organized their forces to start a counterattack, but the centaurs were obviously prepared, and the Seraphs were retreating.
Li Weiji looked out the window, the arrow rain was like a meteor, a few feathered arrows had fallen in the central square of the quagmire town, and the centaur's attack was becoming more and more ferocious.
A phoenix suddenly flew out in the distance, and the phoenix flashed by, drowning in a larger sea of fire.
Wails, screams, the clanging of irons.
The smell of soot, the stench, the smell of burning meat from corpses.
Familiar and unfamiliar images rushed into Li Weiji's mind.
Death is spreading little by little in the town, eating away at people's hearts.
Taking two breaths, Li Weiji threw away the distractions in his heart and saw the opportunity, equipped the dagger given by the Ash Whispering Wind, put the longbow behind his back, and jumped out with Isara in his arms.
A rocket fell at his feet, Li Weiji thought that the little girl would cry, but he didn't expect her to cover her mouth hard.
Sure enough, it's an extraordinary child.
Another rocket flew in, and Li Weiji raised his left hand [Claw of Claw] and shot it, the dagger collided with the rocket, and the arrow fell and extinguished.
Li Weiji flicked his wrist, and the dagger returned to his hand.
"Follow me." Li Weiji took the little girl's hand and began to run in the direction of Lingbao's laboratory.
This was the escape route he had already thought of.
After running less than ten steps, he only heard the familiar sound of a mirror breaking behind him, and Li Weiji looked back to see two light purple phantoms beside Yini.
The two phantoms were exactly the same as Ini, translucent, and the long sword in Ini's hand was wielded, and the sword in the phantom's hand was also waved.
Three swords pierced into the lower abdomen of a centaur at the same time, and the two phantoms shattered instantly, the purple butterfly did not disappoint, and the centaur neighed and killed him on the spot.
The neighing of the centaur caught the attention of his companions, and two more centaurs rushed forward with machetes.
I don't know what skill Ini used, but in the blink of an eye, she moved between the two centaurs, and the sword in her hand pierced the hoof of one of them like a spike.
The centaur was running extremely fast, but suddenly his hooves ached, he braked suddenly, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground.
With a flick of her wrist, the sword pierced the centaur into its first heart along the rib slit of the centaur's lower body, and the centaur fell to the ground and fluttered twice, and there was no movement.
"Let's go." Ini shot the second centaur like this, "There are too many of them, and the forces of this town can't stop them. Run. ”
With that, another centaur died at Ini's hands.
The wrinkled woman was now tall at the waist, her coarse linen clothes were bright red, and her pale hair was dyed half of her blood, and she was full of power in the fire.
Li Weiji didn't dare to stay, and pulled his legs again, completely ignoring the fire and blood boiling behind him.
Running to the windmill mill, seeing that he was about to leave the gate of the town, Li Weiji turned around and turned around, only Li Yi was left in front of him, and Yini was gone.
"What about the seniors?" Li Weiji asked nervously.
Li Yi said: "She is still fighting with the centaurs, there are too many of them, I am afraid that the seniors will not take long." ”
Li Weiji understood what he meant, and Yini might be about to die at the hands of the centaur.
Looking at Isora behind her, the little girl had covered her mouth from beginning to end, but her eyes were already full of tears, she should have understood.
Gritting his teeth and being ruthless, Li Weiji picked up Isara and shouted, "Go." ”
Walk.
The world in front of him is full of all kinds of sounds, all kinds of colors, and all of them are related to death, but Li Weiji just wants to take Isara to live.
However, in a world of war, both good and bad will be dead.
The so-called cruelty probably makes good people lose their kindness.
Knowing that this is a game, knowing that this is all virtual data, but this data obviously has its own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, she is so real, and her feat of being willing to give everything for her granddaughter may not even be able to do it by real people.
A word that goes out means that he has given up the possibility of saving Inni, who is usually helpful, and this kind of torture that pierces his conscience makes him sweat profusely.
Li Weiji is calm, but not cold.
Although he always sacrifices Li Yi in the game, it is because his relationship with Li Yi is no longer separated from each other.
"Lao Ji, Lao Ji."
Li Yi's voice pulled Li Weiji back into the game, and he stopped and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Yi pointed into the distance: "There is a phoenix over there, it should be Cali, looking at the location where the phoenix appeared, she seems to have escaped from the town." ”
Li Weiji nodded and said, "That little girl's elemental magic is amazingly powerful, and with the cooperation of the Seraphic Guards, there is a great possibility of escaping. Let's hope they are safe. ”
After that, Li Weiji looked at Isara, the little girl was still covering her mouth, but the muscles on her face were a little deformed, as if she was holding back some emotion.
"We're going to keep going." Li Weiji said as he ran, "After a while, we will run directly to the lake, swim directly to the foot of the falling stone waterfall, and then climb the mountain road next to the waterfall to go to the Lingbao laboratory." ”
Li Yi followed behind Li Weiji and asked, "Shall we inform the fisher......men by the lake?"
Without waiting for Li Yi to finish speaking, Li Weiji waved his hand and said, "No need." The fire is raging here, and the fishermen must have evacuated. There are always wars in this area, and the fishermen are still aware of this. ”
Li Weiji and the three of them soon came to the vicinity of the rockfall and explosion, and sure enough, as Li Weiji said, there was no fisherman left in this area, and all of them did not know where to go.
The sound of the falling rockfall was like falling rocks, and the two people who escaped for their lives in the fire desperately poured water on themselves.
"Survived." Li Yi simply sat in the water.
"Survived." Li Weiji was still standing on the shore, and he felt that the danger had not been lifted.
Li Weiji's instinct was right, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the darkness louder than the sound of falling rockfalls.
Tar flowed, torches flowed, and the entire lake, along with the fishermen's dwellings, was soaked in the Infinite Flames.
The centaur laughed wildly and roared.
The three of them hid in a cave behind the rockfall and were silent.
The ashes are gone, the centaurs who set the fire seem to be gone, and the lake is calm again.
"Lao Yi." Li Weiji called softly, "Now may be the time for you to sacrifice." ”
Li Yi didn't speak, but patted the top of Li Weiji's head.
"In a moment you rush out and swim in the direction of the town, and if the centaurs are still outside, then you try to lure them as far away as you can."
Li Yi patted the top of Li Weiji's head again, as if he was pressing the OK button.
"Stop slapping me on the top of my head, I'm going bald."
Li Yihe smiled: "It is said that if you are bald, you will be stronger, and when this copy is over, you will go and get a bald head." ”
Without waiting for Li Weiji to agree, Li Yi rushed out with an arrow and fell into the water.
Although there is still fire on the lake, the centaurs seem to be gone.
Li Yi did not hesitate at all, he firmly carried out Li Weiji's plan and swam in the direction of the town. As soon as he landed on the shore, five wooden sticks were thrown out of the dark corner, Li Yi only felt his head sink, and immediately fell into a coma after making a miserable scream with all his might.
Hearing Li Yi's screams, countless pictures appeared in Li Weiji's mind. There is only one theme in these pictures, that is, Li Yi sacrificed his life to save Li Weiji.
After listening to the sound of the horse's hooves and making sure that the centaur really left this time, Li Weiji carried Isara into the lake.
After swimming slowly for about ten minutes in the lake water that was half cold and half flamed, Li Weiji grabbed a vine and climbed to the small intersection of the mountain.
From then on, step by step.
The tense atmosphere was cleared, the faces of Li Yi and Yi Ni appeared in front of him, and Li Weiji sighed and fell to the mud floor.
After pondering for a moment, Li Weiji pursed his lips and said, "You are more familiar with this road than me, go to Lingbao's laboratory and hide." I saved my friend and came to you. ”
"You promise you'll be back."
"I promise I'll be back."
"Good. Then I promise to wait for you to come back. ”
The little girl who covered her mouth all the way was unusually calm, she didn't say a word and went upstream of the falling stone waterfall, and after a while, it was quiet in the dead of night.
Li Weiji trotted, he wouldn't get tired in the game, he wanted to get back to the quagmire as fast as possible.
As he approached the town, he slowed down, and the whole town was shrouded in flames, without the slightest bit of life.
It's the familiar smell of burnt meat again, which makes people sick.
Except for the crackling of firewood turning into charcoal, there was only dead silence in the air.
Standing in front of the sea of fire for a long time, Li Weiji suddenly reacted, the game did not prompt Li Yi to die, and his old friend was still alive.
There is only one way to find Li Yi, and that is to find Lingbao first, because Lingbao has installed locators on him and Li Yi.
As Ini said before, Lingbao and a Seraphic Angel left the town and disappeared.
If nothing else, this Seraphic Angel should be Lindell.
Such a big thing happened in the town, the fire was soaring, Lingbao couldn't not know, he knew that something was wrong in the town, and he knew that Ishara was in the town, according to how much he cared about Isara, he should come to save Isara.
But the town is already in flames, and Lingbao can't wait, he will definitely take action.
Li Weiji shook his head and said to himself: "Can he give me and the old cross-dressing locator, can't he pretend to be Isara?"
Thinking of this, Li Weiji ran straight to Lingbao's laboratory.
Sure enough.
Lingbao's laboratory has a slight glow.
Isara sat on the broken wooden horse, and Lingbao spoke comforting words like a father.
The campfire was flickering, and Lindell was boiling water in a broken clay pot.
Lingbao was not surprised to see Li Weiji, he spoke first, "I didn't expect them to come so quickly."
Li Weiji sat down by the campfire and asked, "Do you know they're coming?"
Lingbao said: "I know that they have been deploying troops, but I didn't expect to suddenly attack today. It seems that your people have moles. ”
Lindell couldn't believe it, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the members of the Seraphs are all selected by thousands of people, and it is impossible for them to betray their own people."
Lingbao said: "This is true. According to their original plan, the attack would not be launched until at least tomorrow afternoon, by which time the reinforcements sent by the queen would have already arrived in the town of Quagmire, and the centaurs would have no advantage at all. However, as soon as you had a welcome dinner, the centaurs suddenly advanced the attack time, which is very telling. ”
Lindell still couldn't believe that his companion who was born and died would betray the town, but Lingbao's words were justified and unbelievable.
"How so, how so." Lindell was flustered.
Li Weiji looked at Lingbao, this little man had hidden too many facts, but at the moment only he could find Li Yi, resisting the urge to beat people, Li Weiji asked with a pleasant face: "Is your tracker still working?" My friend was captured by the centaur, where do you see where he is now? ”
Lingbao said extremely negatively: "No need to look for it, those who are caught by the centaurs will definitely die." Perhaps he had been skinned by now, and Centaur was very fond of making human skins into tambourine toys for his offspring. ”
"Nope." Li Weiji insisted, "He must not be dead." Look where he is, and I might be able to get him out. ”
Unable to resist Li Weiji's stubbornness, Lingbao took out the compass he had used before, and unfolded a neat map at the same time.
After fiddling for a while, Lingbao pointed to the Finney Ridge in the northeast of the Heartwood Forest camp and said, "It's really strange that there are so many people alive, it's too abnormal."
Li Weiji leaned on the map and saw more than 30 small red dots and one big red dot lit up at the Finney ridge.
"What does that mean?"
"It means that your friend is alive, and with him thirty-four are alive." Just as a small red dot on the map disappeared, Lingbao changed his words and said, "There are still thirty-three people."
What's going on over there at Finney Ridge?
