Chapter Twenty-Four: Righteousness
This is a rambling, seemingly never-ending pursuit battle, and Yu Tan is obviously slightly faster than He Ming, who is wearing inferior armor and soaked in rainwater.
They didn't stop at all in the shouts of Yu Qin's domineering: "Stop! "You still dare to run!" "Do you know who I am?"
Several times he had caught up, but when his sword slashed at the target, it was always a little bit behind. He even made a few incisions in He Ming's clothes.
He Ming didn't know how long they had been in pursuit, but He Ming still admired this noble son very much, and they used absolutely not slow speed to force the road from Beach to the east, after hardships, through several complex terrains, and finally ran to the mountain range close to the north.
At least more than two hours of running wildly proves that the son in front of He Ming is not soaked in a honey pot, but now it doesn't matter. As the rain became heavier, they distanced themselves a little, and He Ming looked back at the son.
Yu Qin's goal finally stopped. Breathless, he wielded the sharp sword, ready to finish off his opponent with vicious words, and then he looked up to see the face staring at him.
Because of the anger and excitement, it may have something to do with running for such a long distance in a row, He Ming's whole face was red as if he was dripping blood, and even the whites of his eyes were already blood-red. But on this face, looking at Yu Tan's eyes was extremely flat, as if he was not looking at a person, but expressionless, as if looking at a stone or a piece of wood on the side of the road.
Yu Qin suddenly felt the cold rain above his head and felt cold. At the same time, he realized that none of his people knew where they had gone. Yu Qin's eyes were wide open, trembling all over his body was more exaggerated than He Ming, and the majestic and arrogant words prepared with his mouth wide opened suddenly turned into a sentence: "Help......"
He Ming didn't want to save him, he took a step forward, grabbed Yu Tan's wrist holding the sword with one hand, and the hand holding the sword stabbed the frost through the gap in Yu Tan's precious chain mail abdomen, and the tip of the sword pierced through the back of Yu Tan's heart.
Dragging Yu Qin, who was bleeding from the seven orifices, He Ming threw him into the bushes at the foot of the mountain, where there were wild beasts, and soon his body was gone. Throwing Yu Tan's armor and sword into a nearby river, He Ming suddenly began to vomit.
This time the vomiting was so thorough, not only did he vomit the little dry food he ate at noon, maybe the overnight meal and even the bile were vomited clean, He Ming vomited seven meat and eight vegetables, and his mouth was full of bitterness, but he felt much more comfortable, so he wiped his face with the pouring rain, He Ming cleaned up the blood stains and made a detour back to Beach City. When he arrived at the north gate of Beach, the rain stopped, but the city gate had already been closed, so He Ming could only hide under the city wall in a position where he could shelter from the rain, and curled up there to rest for the night.
The next day he was awakened by the sound of the shaft when the gate was opened, and the gate was finally opened. He Ming, who was wet and cold, felt uncomfortable all over his body, coughed twice, but he immediately got up and ran into the city towards his residence.
Although he did a clean job and left no evidence, he didn't have the ability of the Yu family, and he didn't believe that the people of the Yu family would not be able to find out about him, so he had already made a decision. As soon as he got back to his lodgings, he quickly changed his dry clothes, packed his bags a little, and prepared to leave Beach City, when there was a knock on the door.
How could it be so fast! He Ming became vigilant, and when he approached the door, he asked, "Who?" ”
Tao Han's voice rang out: "He Ming, the master sent by the city lord to deal with the evil is ready, Lord Wang sent me to find you." ”
He Ming relieved himself and opened the door.
Seeing that He Ming had finished cleaning up, Tao Han said happily: "That's just right, save them from waiting, the masters are in a hurry, they look very anxious, they should all go to the east gate to wait for us." ”
Let's fight for Beechcraft again, He Ming felt in his heart that he was about to leave this place where he was born and raised. At the same time, he still felt that he had an obligation to deal with that terrible hidden danger, so he took his luggage and set off with Tao Han.
Lord Wang, Marriott, Yan Yi, and three tall and strong people wearing black hoods to cover their faces were already waiting for them at the east gate of Beechcraft.
He Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said to Lord Wang, "I'm really sorry for keeping Lord Wang waiting for a long time." ”
Lord Wang nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay, and said, "Several masters, this is He Ming, and the four of them are the ones who found out these secrets on the front line. He Ming, these are the masters I told you about that Biqi specializes in restraining the undead, and their inheritance has been passed down from ancient times, and these three are the elite among them. ”
The three of them nodded slightly at He Ming, seemingly unwilling to reveal their true bodies. He Ming also saluted them and said, "He Ming has seen several masters. ”
The man in the middle said, "It's also our negligence, which has caused people to have been hurt, and we have been wasting a lot of time in a hurry to make a magic weapon to deal with it recently." ”
Lord Wang said, "The four of you are the ones who have the most contact with those monsters and know the most, and this time you will lead the way for these masters to help find the demons in the depths of the mine." Then he said to everyone: "The old man has no special requirements, just one sentence, if you encounter real danger, you must put your own safety first, and you must protect your own safety if you can't destroy the evil demons, understand?" ”
All seven nodded in agreement, so they said goodbye to Lord Wang, and went out of the city in the direction of the mine.
He Ming has not yet completely recovered from what happened yesterday. Being able to shift the target to the monster made him feel much more comfortable, but he still had some worries in his heart.
Now that he was concentrating on dealing with the equally important demon, he could finally put aside other thoughts and concentrate on fighting the monsters. Maybe they solved the evil in the cave, and the evil in the city was eliminated with the efforts of the city lord and the king? But in any case, after this battle, He Ming also made up his mind to pursue the pioneer who left Beechcraft.
On the way, the man in black only asked about the monster in general, and said very little. In this silent environment, the four friends didn't have much to say, and walked along the road quietly.
By the way, Yu Qin's followers, who had been looking outside the city all night, finally gave up the search and rushed back to Beach City at noon that day.
After entering the mine, they still moved forward silently, He Ming looked a little too nervous, but they didn't encounter any suspicious people along the way. Following the path they had already walked several times, they walked through the places where there were still people, and when they reached the location where there was no one to mine anymore, they finally encountered zombies.
He Ming and the four of them could see that these were the corpses of the miners who had died not long ago, and they were evidence of the crimes of Yu Qin's people.
He Ming and Marriott put on a posture to destroy this monster, but a man in black stopped them: "Please save your physical strength, there may be a place where you need it in the future, and the magic weapon we took so long to prepare is to deal with them." ”
One of the men in black raised his hand and shook a wooden magic weapon, only to see a bright but not dazzling golden light rise from the zombie in the dark cavern, and then the zombie fell unharmed. Then Haoran continued to move forward, and He Ming hurriedly stopped them and said, "Be careful, these zombie heads can be reborn again and again if their heads are not destroyed!" ”
However, he seemed to be worried too much, and when he went to check the zombies on the ground, he found that these hard zombies had softened and quickly turned into ordinary corpses.
One man in black said, "Our lineage from ancient times exists to destroy these evil spirits. The forces that sustain these evils are born of selfishness and darkness, and we represent light and righteousness! You can call us Haoran. ”
"Haoran? All three are the same? Marriott asked with a big grin.
"Yes, we walk together for the moment that will come."
He Ming didn't understand the content of these words very much, but he still admired these people very much, for a certain moment, how many years did they spend? Ten years, twenty years? If they don't have the opportunity to deal with these evils in their lifetime, will they stay silent for the rest of their lives? The same people, why are some people so noble, but others so despicable?
"But please be careful, Master Haoran, we have encountered zombies that are very terrifying, can manipulate other zombies, and can also cast powerful magic, and there is a kind of zombie that we have only heard of, wrapped in chains, which may not be so easy to deal with." In a cautious manner, He Ming still said something to Haoran.
"Special treatment in special circumstances, you reserve your physical strength to deal with emergencies." Haoran said.
"Okay, it's all according to the master's orders." After He Ming finished speaking, he and Marriott continued to lead the way.
The places they had walked had already been visited by others, and the rumors had attracted a lot of desperate people or homeless people to try their luck. He Ming knew in his heart that many of the newly transformed zombies here were victims, and in order to better dig out the ore, the people who entered the deep mines, even if they had some gains, could not escape the clutches of Yu Qin's people.
He carefully introduced to Haoran that the zombies who had risen up were newly transformed, and the zombies that were older were the kind of monsters that had completely turned black and solid as a rock.
Haoran listened silently, and did not show any attitude towards the sins of those people, whether it was the rock-solid ancient zombie or the newly transformed victim, under their spells, a light emanated from the body, and then the entire body would soften to normal. Every time they eliminated a target, they would be accompanied by a pious prayer, and the atmosphere infected the entire team, and now they were all slowly exploring and advancing in a tense and solemn atmosphere.
He Ming was amazed by Haoran's magic weapon, the energy on it was simply inexhaustible, and they had almost no effort to clear many zombies in the road.
Traveling along the way, walking a long distance, no matter how Ming could not imagine how ancient humans dug such a long mining road, it was even longer than the road outside.
