Chapter 16: The Blood Cross

By the time the three of them reached the gates of the Shadow Swordsman Guild, it was already dark, and the last rays of the setting sun had drawn the silhouettes of the dilapidated buildings lining the streets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The cold wind swept by, the confetti and broken leaves flew in the air, and the whole street babbled with the sound of breaking doors and windows, which not only added some life to the town, but made the atmosphere even more eerie.

"Follow me!" Modi picked up the little dog man, said a word to Akalei, and quickly flashed out of the hall gate and into an alley around the corner of the street.

Akare's stomach was full of questions, but Modi didn't explain, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she followed into the alley without saying a word.

The town of Agra is not very large, except for two vertical and two horizontal four main roads, the rest is connected by various small lanes.

The Horned Man followed Modi through the alleys, going around and around, vaguely knowing that they were heading in the direction of the Shano River in the northeast of the town, which made her a little annoyed, she had followed her father to settle in Agra since she was a child, but she didn't know as much about Agra as this Homo sapiens boy.

The other party was even able to presciently avoid certain areas with many zombies, and along the way, he only encountered seven or eight ordinary zombies, and they were all solved by him neatly and easily.

Halfway through, it was already completely dark, the ruins of Agra Town at night were ten times more dangerous than during the day, Modi's steps became lighter, Akalei had been lurking here for nearly three years, and he also knew that he had to be more cautious at night, and neither of them made a sound when they moved.

At this time, a low roar suddenly pressed up from the ruins, although the sound was not the kind of deafening roar, but when it reached the ears of the three people, it seemed that even the heart resonated with it, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

"Damn, that guy is arguing again!" Akalei leaned against the stone wall and cursed in a low voice with an ugly face.

"Brother, that's, what's that sound?" The little dog man lifted his little head from Modi's arms, his little face was a little pale, and asked Modi in his heart.

"Agra's mayor, Kret, is now the zombie lord of the ruins of Agra, and it's summoning zombies." Modi reacted much better, but also frowned, "It seems that the time for the zombie riot is not far away." ”

Krett was once the chief of guard of the governor of Tasol, Placis, and later became the mayor of Agra. As a third-order fortress knight, Kreit's strength became even more terrifying after turning into a zombie, and he soon became the overlord of all the zombies in the ruins of Agra Town, and gained the ability to command corpses.

After the apocalypse, zombies across the Ward Continent will erupt in a riot every autumn and winter, and the manic corpses will gather under the monger lord's summons to attack the human survivor camp.

An army of tens of thousands of zombies swept through the wilderness, flooded the woods, and devoured the mountains, making it the most difficult time of the year for the survivors.

Kret's roar can not only summon zombies, but also have a fear effect, causing a psychic shock to creatures, Modi has been very little affected by the awakening of the [Lingyou] racial talent, but Ah Wu and Akalei are not comfortable.

Modi didn't have any good way but to comfort the dog, "Don't be afraid, it barks a few times every night." ”

Moving on, it didn't take long for the horned woman to finally see the familiar buildingβ€”the huge sign of the sword and shield crossing took up most of the building's adventurer's guild hall.

Akalei and Modi hid in the shadows in front of the exit of the alley, and when they looked up, they could only see the dense crowd of figures around the adventurer's guild in the dimness.

There is no doubt that those are zombies.

"The Broken Corner Blacksmith is right next to the Adventurers' Guild." Akalei glanced at Modi, thinking that he wouldn't really want to break in and take the Hammer of the Broken Horn Crafter, and asked cautiously, "Do it now?" ”

"Do you want to die?" Modi glanced at the female horn with an idiot look.

Many of the zombies gathered here are adventurers with combat professions before their deaths, and their strength is not weak, and the terrain of the street is open and there is no room for maneuvering, and with their current strength, they will break in directly, and they will inevitably be besieged and torn apart.

"And what can you do?" Akalei glared and said, after three years of lurking in the ruins of Agra Town, she never wanted to recapture the hammer of the Broken Horn Craftsman, and naturally she had made various attempts.

There are a lot of zombies around the blacksmith shop in the broken corner, and the hard break and infiltration are all looking for death, and these zombies also have a strong sense of territory, and they will not leave the place too far, and it will not be effective to transfer the tiger away from the mountain or something.

As for the zombie riot, when the zombies are summoned by Kreitt to leave en masse, the Hammer of the Broken Horn Craftsman is in the hands of Upton, who has become the zombie boss, and she will have to deal with an army of tens of thousands of zombies.

"You'll know when the time comes." After Modi finished speaking, he turned back into the alleyway with the little dog in his arms.

……

The Adventurer's Guild is not far from the city gate to the east, and a few hundred meters further east is the Shano River, a wide river that stretches silently and silently at night.

A large building sits on the banks of the Shano River, a half-collapsed but still massive black shadow crawling like a dead beast, and several sword-like minarets reaching into the sky, even in the drowsy night, its majesty and grandeur cannot be concealed.

It was a temple of the Holy Spirit, a place of worship for the goddess of the Holy Spirit with countless followers, and it was supposed to gather a large number of believers, but because the temple was still under construction at the time of the catastrophe, there were not even a few zombies left, and it was very desolate and deserted.

Grass is covered outside the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and Modi leads Akalei and the Canine-Man along the temple walls, and his destination is the construction area behind the temple's side.

"Help!"

A sharp cry made them suddenly vigilant, and when they turned their heads, they saw a tall and thin figure dozens of meters away stumbling through the grass and running towards them, followed by a group of black shadows in hot pursuit.

"What people!" Modi pointed his sword and protected the little canine man behind him.

"Blood Cross! It's the devil of the Blood Cross! They're going to take me back and eat me! The figure ran closer, and it was a tall woman who cried out in terror, her voice trembling.

Blood Cross! Modi and Akalei were both shocked, the Blood Cross was formerly a bandit group called the Blood Hand Society, they committed adultery and plunder, and they were famous bandits near Agra.

However, during the cataclysm, after the "Blood Cross Sword" Abate killed the boss of the Blood Hand Society and became the new leader, and renamed the Blood Hand Society as the Blood Cross Society, the Blood Cross Society really developed and transformed into a strange existence - they eat people!

The Blood Cross is small in number, less than a hundred, but each one is a tough professional, Modi remembers that in the game, the members of the Blood Cross are all elite monsters, they are cunning and ferocious, and they often use ambushes, lures and other means to hunt and kill their prey.

Through the dark vision blessed by the Shadow Rune Sword, Modi could see that the woman who had fled was dressed as a stalker, and at this time, her clothes and armor were scattered, and the blood was mottled, very embarrassed, only her face looked pale, but it was beautiful, which made people feel pity unconsciously.

"Someone from the Carson Guard?" Modi noticed a feathered insignia on the woman's leather armor, which was the emblem of Aya's Carson Guard.

"What should I do?" Akalei asked, she was only lurking in the ruins of Agra Town, not isolated, of course, she had also heard of the murderous name of the Blood Cross, and seeing that there were five or six black shadows chasing her, she was inevitably a little frightened in her heart, these bandits were not comparable to those brainless zombies.

"Ahh At this time, the little dog man pulled the corner of Modi's clothes, pointed to the other side and said in Modi's heart, "Brother, over there, someone over there is also coming!" ”

Modi hurriedly glanced at it, and several black shadows appeared at the corner of the side hall on the other side, outflanking them and sealing the retreat.

It was clear that the targets of these Blood Cross bandits were not just the woman who was being hunted down.

"Don't panic! Get ready for battle! Modi whispered to Akalei and the canine beside him, and then shouted to the female pursuer, "We're from Camp Miros!" Friends of the Carson Defense Army! Come and meet us! ”

Akalei hurriedly removed the weapon hanging from her waist, a warhammer that looked very small compared to her burly figure, and then she grimaced and chanted a certain incantation aloud: "Great Ancestral Spirit, Flame Ancestor Casal!" Listen to the call of your son of the Horned Clan, Akalei......"

She used the language of the Samol horn people, and her pronunciation was full of momentum, and the little dog man couldn't understand what she said, so she looked up and listened to it for a while, and soon came back to her senses, holding a delicate crossbow, and said firmly in her heart: "Ah Wu can also help my brother fight!" ”

On the other side, the female pursuer also seemed to be inspired, and rushed to the front of the Modi trio, while the shadows dispersed to form a complete semi-circular encirclement, surrounding the few people who were leaning against the temple wall in the center.

At this time, they were not in a hurry to kill, but pressed over step by step, and their expressions were unabashedly full of banter, for for them, these poor prey could not escape from the palm of their hands.

"Boy!" One of them, a middle-aged strong man in chain mail and a heavy tomahawk, spoke as Creel, the leader of the group.

With a murderous smile on his face, his tone was full of mockery, "It seems that you have heard of the name of the Blood Cross, so let's do it, as long as you obediently hand over the two women beside you, we can let you go!" ”

"After all, men's meat is not delicious!"

As soon as the words fell, the other Blood Cross members burst out laughing uncontrollably.

"Oh?" Modi raised his eyes, swept his gaze over their faces one by one, and laughed as well, "Really? That's just great! ”

On the other hand, he silently counted in his heart: "Four light swordsmen, four heavy samurai, and one hunter, fortunately, there is no legal profession." ”

The corners of his mouth flew slantedly, his smile suddenly turned cold, and without warning, a stabbing sword like a rainbow tore through the night and pierced into the chest of the female pursuer in front of him.
