"What the hell is going on here?"

Lan controlled the wings behind his back and flew in the air, observing the situation in the canyon below, the huge ravine as if it had been plowed by a nuclear bomb, and the entire canyon was also filled with all kinds of rubble and black scorch marks.

Needless to say, there was definitely a big fight here.

But at this moment, no matter how Lan looked, this canyon was already empty, and there was not a single figure left here, the red pupil of the mission target was not there, and neither were the black pupils and others who came to pursue.

The shot that Destaguru shot into the sky at the end was so vast that even those of them who were more than a dozen kilometers away could see it clearly.

Because of his ability to fly, Lan was sent by Estes to observe the situation.

Because they didn't catch up with Najeta and the others mentioned in the intelligence, they also vaguely realized that something might be wrong on the other side, so Lan didn't hesitate and rushed here.

But he was still a step too late, and by the time he arrived, the night raider had already retreated, and even the three black pupils were taken away by them.

“…… Orchid? Is it Lan? ”

An incomparably weak voice came from the forest, causing Lan to quickly fall from the sky and walk into the forest.

As soon as he entered the forest, Lan saw Ryuxia lying on the ground, as if he had completely lost his mobility.

He appeared to have been stabbed in the arm, and his white shirt was stained not only with mud but also with blinding blood.

Not only that, but there were several black spells hovering around his body, and his face, neck, arms, and other parts were occupied by small black spells like tadpoles, as if his whole person was imprisoned in a curse.

These curses seemed to make Ryuxia very painful, not only could she not even move, but even her breath and voice became extremely weak, as if she could die at any moment.

"Vice-Captain?! Are you okay? ”

Seeing this, Lan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lu Xia up from the ground, "What the hell happened?" ”

"I was slashed by Red Hitomi...... Poisoned. ”

Ryuxia gasped slightly, her face pale, and she looked like she was still resisting stubbornly when she was about to die, "She slashed me and left, I probably didn't expect me to survive her curse...... Take me back first, I feel a little overwhelmed. ”

"I see."

Lan hurriedly grabbed Lu Xia's arm and led him to the sky.

…………

The sky was already covered with dark clouds, blocking most of the sun's rays from the clouds, and the air became cold, as if it might rain at any moment.

The hunters found a hotel in a city on the way, not only to escape the torrential rain, but also to rest the seriously injured Ryuxia.

"What the hell is going on?"

In the hotel, Estes's face was calm and unwavering, and there was no hint of joy or anger, but at this moment, she gave people a much more terrifying feeling than on the battlefield.

"It's a night attack, and all the members of the night attack are ambushed in the canyon."

Lu Xia shook his head weakly, "It's just a night attack, the eight rooms of the black pupil can still deal with it, I didn't expect the necromancer to be there...... We were soon forced to disperse. ”

"Black pupils, they may have ...... I was slashed by Akatomi's Killing, Murayu, but luckily she didn't check my condition carefully, otherwise I wouldn't have come back. Sorry, Captain, it's my fault. ”

"Night Raid All and Necromancy...... Did they join forces? ”

As if imagining what hellish difficulty it was, Lan felt her breathing become rapid.

All the members of the night raid are emperors, and they have extraordinary combat power in their own right, plus a necromancer who is extremely good at assassination and can fight Estes head-on...... This kind of lineup, I'm afraid that only Estes personally leads the team to win, and no one else can do it.

"It's not your fault, don't take it personally."

Estes lowered the brim of his military hat, leaving only a pair of cold eyes, "They actually joined forces, even I didn't expect it, it was my mistake." ”

"How are you doing compared to that?"

Estes looked at Ryuxia, his ice-blue gaze looked at him, and a little surprise appeared on his face, "I was poisoned by the red pupil, and even I was not confident that I could survive, I really can't hold on, how did you do it?" ”

"I hope the captain can forgive me for concealing it, in fact, in addition to being an imperial envoy, I am also an alchemist."

Ryusha hesitated for a moment, but still told her 'secret', "I survived simply because I once modified my body and had a different vitality from humans...... However, if you want to completely remove the curse, it is not possible to do it in a short period of time, and I may not be able to help with the next protection mission. ”

"I see, although I am your boss, you don't have any obligation to report to me, and it's not a bad thing to hide something, at least this concealment saved your life."

Estes nodded tolerantly, "You can rest well during this time, the task of Anning Dao will be handed over to us, and your recovery as soon as possible is the greatest help to us." ”

"Yes, Captain."

Ryusha nodded ashamedly, and then walked towards the room next to him with the support of Sai Ruu on the side.

"Alchemist...... I thought that this kind of existence had been cut off in history. ”

Estes watched the two of them leave, and let out some novel emotion in his mouth, "It is said that the first emperor thousands of years ago used alchemy to refine the imperial tool using super dangerous species and rare metals, but after the appearance of the imperial tool, alchemists rarely saw it, and until now, few people know about the existence of alchemy." ”

"I didn't expect the vice-captain to be an alchemist."

Lan also admired, "However, to survive from Murayu's knife, there may be no other possibility besides alchemy." ”

"By the way, are Liangyi's imperial tools still there?"

Estes suddenly thought of something and asked Ran.

"The vice-captain's emperor is still there, it should be that the other party is in a hurry, and he didn't have time to recover it."

Lan shook his head, "But I haven't found any of the Black Hitomi, Will, and Porus Imperial Tools, and it's likely that they were taken away by the Night Raid and the Necromancy." ”

"Really...... It seems that we will have to be prepared to deal with the eight rooms in the future. ”

Estes walked to the window and looked up at the gloomy sky, his gaze becoming as dark as the sky.

"Three fewer players in one go...... Night Raid, Necromantic ......"
