Chapter 253: The Tide Turns
The mountain wilderness below him was rapidly retreating, and the wind that blew his cheeks made him not want to speak, and he was as sluggish as sinking into water when he made any movement. But Monica, who is good at sensing demonic energy, must raise her hand from time to time to signal for corrections, give Annabelle directions, and keep Galadya up to date on what's going on.
In the roaring wind, she covered her mouth and said loudly, "Those two Awakened Ones and Tabasha have been on the run, and Senior Galadia should be trying to drive them to us!" ”
"Galadia should have sensed us a long time ago, Anna, can it be faster?" Lavana asked aloud.
Annabelle looked down at Li Fang, looking at each other, Li Fang nodded, and pulled the rope in his hand tighter.
"Hold on! Falling here is no joke. In the awakened state, Annabelle's voice was much louder than usual.
Then the wide fleshy wings flapped faster, and such a strange black dot that swept through the air accelerated again. Li Fang closed his eyes tightly, feeling that the flesh on his face was stirred up by the wind......
This torturous experience lasted for a long time, and when Li Fang felt that the world was finally quiet, he opened his eyes and looked down to see a sparsely wooded mountain grassland.
Three conspicuous black dots were rapidly enlarging towards him.
"Octavia!?" Annabelle exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, and Ricarudo, who she left before." Li Fang hurriedly moved his body, and the recovery of a defensive equipment and the overlord's reloading made him recover quickly, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance and bad in his heart.
Both of these are powerful awakened people who have awakened in the N.2 ranking, and the ordinary single-digit great sword is not even in their hands in front of them! Luckily, Annabelle and Lajuana were here, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stop them.
In the distance, Octavia and Ricarudo had also spotted several powerful demonic auras in front of them, and had already understood that this was a trap that Galadia had used with her vast sensing range, and Ricarudo knew that something had changed from the moment she had made the Twins manifest their awakened form for the first time in front of them.
But whenever they want to turn to the side, Alicia, who is chasing behind them, will definitely intercept the road ahead in advance, and once they run in different directions, they will directly catch up with the attacking side, so that they have to turn back to the original general direction.
Originally, I thought that the seriously injured Aihua would restrain the chasing Galadia, but she didn't expect that she didn't care about the life or death of her companions, and now the situation of chasing and fleeing really made them very passive.
Twins are abyss-level strengths, and even two-on-one has no chance of winning, which Octavia and Ricarudo have tried in a thrilling way on the road, not to mention that there is an N.3 defensive warrior on their side. From beginning to end, they have never really killed the hostages, but now if they are surrounded by Annabelle again, they will definitely be unable to escape!
Seeing that the situation of chasing and intercepting before and after was becoming more and more dangerous, the anger that Ricarudo had suppressed along the way completely exploded!
"Run, I'll stop them." A cold voice came out of the lion's fangs, and the horse he had ridden had long since died of exhaustion.
"Don't be impulsive, there's a way!" Before Octavia could finish speaking, Ricarudo had already made a move.
He clasped his feet deep on the ground, and the inertia of the emergency stop pulled out two long marks on the ground, and the two of them, Tabasha and Yuma, who were unconscious on their shoulders, were still used as weapons by him and still headed towards Alicia!
"Damn, what an impulsive man." Octavia's hands turned into sharp and flexible ribbons, intercepting Tabasha and Yuma in the air, but as soon as he unloaded his strength, a large sword suddenly appeared and slashed down.
Galadia quickly grabbed her two rag-doll-like companions and hurried back to Alicia's side.
Seeing that the targets had stopped, Bissi also jumped off Alicia's shoulder. The road was bumpy, and she already felt strained under the burden.
As if he hadn't heard Octavia's words, Ricarudo seized the opportunity to lean forward, and the hard-to-catch figure appeared next to Alicia as if teleporting, Bissi's position.
The sharp claws collided with the blades, and a finger was cut out in the sparks!
The sturdy figure immediately pulled away, and Ricarudo looked at his opponent with a heavy face, who couldn't detect the slightest mood swing, knowing that the moment of delay had almost put them in a desperate situation.
"Even if you try to take it back, you won't have time...... What a terrible slash. ”
"Now is not the time to praise your opponent!" Octavia leaned over with an annoyed face, her arm had been regenerated, "You have to tell the difference between bravery and recklessness!" ”
"This passive situation, I know what the method you want to say is, but I don't need to live that way." Ricarudo's voice was deep but penetrating, "I owe you a favor, but I have my own way. ”
"Looks like you don't get along." While the two were talking, Annabelle had already flown in, forming a flank with Alicia. To the uninformed, it looks like four terrible monsters in the field ready to show their fangs at any moment.
"Anna...... It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Octavia's eyes were complicated, the tip of the iceberg looked like she had been betrayed by a friend, but she could still see a hint of temptation.
"It's unfortunate to meet in such a situation, I can't figure out why you crossed the continent to come and kidnap them?" Annabelle didn't know what good it would do them to do it.
"In exchange with you for a secret, the secret that the Awakened can live well without eating human entrails." Octavia's eyes were attentive and she continued to probe.
"Don't trust her! Do you think the two of them look like they're just being held hostage? On the other side, Galadia was holding Tabasha and Yuma, who were covered in many wounds, with a frosty face.
Retracting her gaze, Annabelle's eyes became even colder, "...... If so, you should be more sincere, for example, give us back those two children now. ”
"Don't have any other fluke thoughts, you just need to return those two children to us, you can leave freely, we will not pursue it!" Miria's voice suddenly appeared with her figure, and Li Fang, Lahuana, and Flora also arrived.
A wry smile appeared on Octavia's lips, it was undoubtedly too risky to hand over the last hostage in this situation.
In the face of so many warriors who were absolutely capable of killing himself and Octavia, Ricarudo was still undaunted, "Annabelle, we already know about you. You suppress the desire to eat with something, you can strengthen others, and even have the ability to bring people back from the dead...... Actually, I want to ask you a favor. ”
"Oh?" Annabelle's eyes froze, she guessed that these messages were knocked out of the mouths of Tabasha and Yuma by the two of them, but they all distorted the information, which was very smart.
"In your time of need, strengthen my strength, let me go and make a break with Isli, whether it succeeds or not, at least it can help you hold him back." Ricarudo said something that surprised everyone, "Of course, this is what I want, but after destroying the Order, you should all know about Livlu, Isli, and another monster that far surpasses the Abyssal, Priscia. ”
He looked at Octavia again, "Besides, I owe this woman a favor, and in exchange for letting her go, how about it?" ”
"Don't think!" The negative words came from Octavia's mouth, and her emotions were very much like anger.
"Anna, tell us how to do that, and then we can really fight together! As long as you don't eat offal anymore and you're accepted, so can we? ”
