Chapter Thirty-Eight: Into the Trap
After preparing for the battle, the four members of the raiding party immediately went to the range of activities mentioned in the intelligence, Penny the Awakened.
Because Penny's attack method is an uncountable amount of extra-long fleshy whiskers, this time Annabelle told Li Fang not to follow him again no matter what.
Li Fang also understood the stakes, and seeing Anna's very serious expression, he dispelled the idea of following the past.
He put all his worries in his stomach and said goodbye to Anna and the others with a smile.
Standing at the window of a room on the second floor of a hotel in Wuer Town, Li Fang looked at their backs gradually moving away, and a sense of powerlessness that was difficult to ignore emerged in his heart.
But what can be done about this, he is just an ordinary person with a mortal body, relying on the build interface, at most he can only increase Anna's strength, so that she has a greater chance of surviving in dangerous missions again and again.
But how long can this life last?
The more dangerous the mission, the more strength Anna will expose, and then move up the ranks to perform more dangerous missions......
Taking a step back, even if Anna survives all the time, will the organization keep a warrior alive for that long? Maybe one day he will be sent to fight against the Abyss......
If there were no organization, no demons, and no awakened people in this world, Anna would be able to live an ordinary life with herself, right? No more sleeping in the open and no longer walking on thin ice, and then it is better to settle in the Holy City, which is the most suitable place for him to live.
Eh, wait, live an ordinary life with Anna?
Li Fang couldn't help but feel hot when he thought of this, and his previous worries suddenly melted.
It's not that he doesn't understand feelings at all, and he knows that he is somewhat tempted by this big sword beauty who has been taking care of him for more than a year and getting along day and night.
But what's so strange about this, I'm not a holy monk, is it strange to like someone......
Restraining the waves in his heart, he couldn't be idle, he clicked on the outfit interface, and in the six grooves next to Annabelle's avatar, there were five pieces of equipment: "Devouring Greed", "Foot of Shadow Ninja", "Overlord Reloading", "Armor-Piercing Bow", and "Wind Spirit Emblem".
It's going to be fine, Li Fang said to himself, how could so much equipment allow her to protect herself.
He exhaled deeply, picked up the iron sword that he had already used, and practiced seriously.
The more you are stronger, the less you can drag Anna back.
……
When the nameless village appeared in front of the sight of several people, Quintina sensed Penny's unbridled demonic aura.
As Kimir had said, Penny the Awoken was staying in a village near the town of your, which looked dilapidated from a distance, and it was noon, but there was no smoke in sight.
After explaining the situation to his teammates, everyone had a bad feeling. That village, most likely, has been bloodbathed by Penny.
Now that the location of the Awoken has been locked, the raiding team immediately entered a state of imminent battle, and even Cynthia, who participated in the crusade against the awakened for the first time, calmed down and followed the team.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw three or two corpses falling on the uneven narrow road, the smell of blood in the air had not yet disappeared, and the powerful aura of the Awakened was already felt by everyone.
"Attention, the Awoken is not far ahead," Deborah reminded her teammates, "the battle has begun!" ”
Because the road was too narrow, Annabelle and Cynthia jumped onto the rooftops of the houses with a wide view on the side of the road, and covered each other with Deborah and Quintina, who were walking on the ground.
The demonic aura was emitted in a stone house with closed doors and windows, and at a cursory glance there were at least twenty corpses, young and old, overlapping randomly like tattered toys.
The hellish situation in front of her made Annabelle's heart tighten, and the people living in this place really had no way to live.
"I'll test it." Cynthia suggested.
The demonic aura of the awakened was inside, but there was no movement after the four arrived, and Cynthia, as a defensive warrior, took the initiative to go to the test.
"Yes, be careful." Deborah nodded in agreement.
"Don't go in, just split the windows, doors, etc." Annabelle looked at Cynthia worriedly and couldn't help but remind. She didn't want to see something happen to this junior who looked very weak but was actually very strong and brave.
Cynthia nodded at Annabelle, then turned to take her sword and cautiously approached the stone house.
She didn't walk quickly, but nothing happened until she reached the window.
Cynthia saw that something was blocking the inside of the window, and she couldn't see it clearly, and a huge demonic energy was gushing out of the window.
No longer doubting, she swung her sword and broke open the window, and then what caught her eye was the meat whiskers that filled the room!
"Ahem......"
Just when everyone's attention was attracted, a "corpse" at Anna's feet suddenly deformed, and her hair and limbs turned into green tendons and knotted flesh and whiskers, attacking Annabelle!
Before she could react, Annabelle only had time to adjust her posture slightly to avoid the vital point, but at least a dozen places in her chest, abdomen and legs were pierced, and scarlet blood spilled from her mouth.
"Anna!"
Quintina and Deborah, who approached, exclaimed, but at the same time as Fleshbeard attacked Annabelle, the stuffed Fleshbeard in the stone house began to run wild.
They burst the stone house with terrifying strange power, and countless fleshy whiskers were suddenly liberated, and launched a dense rain attack on the three of them with a swishing sound that pierced the air!
Cynthia and Quintina had to retreat for a while, only to watch as the whiskers that pierced Annabelle pulled out, blood splattered from the wounds, and she instantly became a bloody person!
But Deborah did not retreat but advanced, the blade in her hand flashed, and all the flesh around Annabelle was cut off, and she hugged Annabelle, whose life and death were unknown, and Deborah quickly retreated with her sword as a defensive form.
The flesh whiskers did not catch up, but only entangled with each other, so the three of them retreated to a relatively safe distance.
"Damn!" Quintina's voice was full of anger and self-reproach, "The corpses on the ground all have the demonic aura of the Awakened, I didn't pay much attention to it, and the huge demonic aura in the stone house attracted me, and I didn't even find that the corpse was the disguise of the Awakened!" ”
"Now is not the time to ask for sin." Deborah let go of Annabelle's feeble body, but the blood stained her arms red.
Although the wound looked terrifying, the bleeding on Annabelle's body quickly stopped, and she should not die, Deborah made a judgment in confusion.
Is she really an aggressive fighter?
Deborah got up and looked at the anxious two people beside her, and said, "Don't worry, she's fine, but she's lost her combat power." We're only going to get tougher in the next battle, and we're ready to fight to the death. ”
Whether it is a crusade against demons or the Awakened, in principle, the organization does not allow fighters to abandon their missions and escape without permission, otherwise they will be treated as defections.
Now that only three of the crusade are left to act, the form has become extremely grim.
"Haven't we always been like this?" Penny's strength was even stronger than expected, and in the face of such a desperate situation, Cynthia said: "From the day we fused the flesh and blood of demons, we are not destined to die in the way of ordinary people. ”
Just as Annabelle was shocked at the beginning, Deborah and Quintina were also very surprised by Cynthia's sudden deep words, but they didn't expect that under the usual appearance like the sister next door, they had such a decisive idea.
"Ah, indeed, there is no way." Deborah looked at Cynthia with a new look, "The Awakened are almost ready, let's go together!" I'm in charge of the frontal attack, with you and Quintina flanking off. ”
"Understood." Quintina clenched her greatsword.
Cynthia naturally nodded in agreement.
And at this time, not far from where the four of them landed, countless tangled flesh whiskers gradually fused into one, and a huge monster with a black and purple body and a drop-shaped body had taken shape!
