Chapter 25: Winter
The tremendous force of the cypress tree man caused the earth to shake again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the thick branches as the center, the ground spread out like a spider's web, and a thick cloud of dust flew up, obscuring the entire street.
Herbert's eyes widened, wanting to see Qin Ran's condition clearly.
But what an old scholar who is just an ordinary person's level perception can see is a gray dust.
“2567?”
“2567?”
Herbert began to use his voice to confirm whether Qin Ran was safe.
"In the face of Desa's blow, everyone will be crushed!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the old scholar.
The words are full of certainty and sarcasm.
Be sure of your own strength.
ridiculed Qin Ran's incompetence.
"Until the moment when seeing is believing, no one can be sure of the result!"
Herbert turned his head and looked at the two coachmen who were cloaked, hiding their appearances, and quietly appeared behind him, and said very firmly.
"Inferior people are always so self-righteous!"
One of the coachmen sneered, then casually raised his broad, powerful palm and grabbed it at Herbert.
They know very well what their task is.
Grab Herbert instead of arguing with Herbert.
And such a task is simply too simple for them.
Everything was as expected by the two xenos.
They caught Herbert with ease.
As a scholar, Herbert's knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But if you want to fight?
Although Herbert was far healthier and more mentally than his peers, an ordinary young man could bring him down.
Not to mention facing two aliens who are far beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, it was a no-brainer for the two xenos to catch Herbert.
Strong ropes were tied to Herbert's hands, and one of the coachmen opened the door of the carriage, and Herbert saw his butler Peel and his students at a glance.
However, the state of the four is obviously very bad.
Not only was his body scarred, but he also fell into a coma at this moment.
"Peele! Harold ......"
"Let's go!"
Herbert shouted the names of the four men, but before he could finish the shouting, he was rudely interrupted by the coachman who was beside him: a force that Herbert could not resist appeared on him, causing the old scholar to stagger on the hurdle of the carriage.
The threshold made of solid wood slammed into Herbert's defenseless lower abdomen.
The pain suddenly made Herbert unable to get up.
Although Herbert tried hard to support his body with his hands, it was still useless, and the spasms in his stomach made him climb halfway every time, and he fell down weakly.
Laughter appeared.
Looking at Herbert's embarrassed appearance, the two xenos laughed presumptuously.
One of the xenos grabbed Herbert's leg and prepared to stuff Herbert into the carriage.
The other xenomorph was ready to start the wagon.
Everything is as they imagined, isn't it?
It's just that......
They didn't think about what would happen next.
The broad, dark red blade swept out of it with unstoppable force, like an evil dragon rising from the filthy waters.
Burst!
The two xenos didn't even react before they were cut off by the waist.
It was as if two xenomorphs were at a disposal in the face of a scholar like Herbert, and the same was true for Qin Ran when dealing with them.
Even, it's even simpler.
Qin Ran, who was carrying the [Arrogant Words], walked out quickly and pulled Herbert up.
"How?"
Qin Ran asked.
"It's fine!"
"We're in bigger trouble now!"
Herbert smiled wryly and pointed to the unconscious crowd in the two carriages.
Qin Ran frowned.
In fact, he didn't expect that there would really be people in the carriage.
When he saw such a tightly closed carriage, Qin Ran's first thought was that there was no one in the car, and everything was a disguise.
But now, he found out that this was another 'measure' arranged by the other party.
'Measures' to prevent accidents.
The unconscious Peel and others were enough to become the 'shackles' that dragged him and Herbert out of here.
And the people who were hiding around before were prepared for this moment.
Whoosh!
A rain of arrows enveloped the two wagons.
Qin Ran grabbed Herbert and hid in the carriage, but the horses pulling the carriage couldn't dodge and fell in a pool of blood in the neighing.
Hearing the neighing of the horses at the last moment, Herbert's face changed.
The old scholars knew that their last hope of escape was gone.
The carriage without the horses was like two coffins at this moment, binding them firmly to the ground.
"2567, you ......"
"Stay here!"
Herbert wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Ran waving his hand.
Qin Ran knew very well what Herbert wanted to say to him.
It's nothing more than letting him go alone.
But with the existence of the main quest, how could he choose to leave.
What's more, there's a new side quest.
【Discovery Side Quest: Get Out of Trouble】
[Get out of trouble: The layout of the xenomorph puts you in danger, and you need to break free!] 】
(Note: The more people rescued, the higher the evaluation)
……
The words fell, and Qin Ran didn't wait for Herbert to say anything more, he pushed the carriage and walked down.
At this moment, outside the carriage, the dust had already fallen.
One by one, the xenos who had been hiding in the shadows and houses rushed out one after another, surrounding the two carriages.
The giant tree man turned awkwardly, and on its thick branches hung broken vines that didn't belong to it.
But that doesn't stop it from loving these vines.
Therefore, after seeing Qin Ran, the person who had destroyed his beloved thing, the tree man roared again.
Roar!
The roar from the hollow of the tree was like muffled thunder.
The appearance of the tree man is more like entering a state of rage.
It rushed towards Qin Ran regardless of it.
Knock, knock, knock!
Every step is a shaking of the earth.
Every step is deafening.
With the height of the tree man, it was only two steps before it approached the carriage, and it held aloft its branches, which were worthy of the mast of a sailing ship, and was ready to fall down again.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Dessa!"
"Stop!"
The voice was cold and emotionless.
It's like pouring ice water on the heart of a tree named Desa, and it calms down the other party at once.
The cypress tree man twisted his clumsy body and moved out of the way, and the rest of the xenos fell to their knees in awe.
A voice filled with cold breath slowly walked from the end of the street.
As it walked along, the path under its feet was covered with a finger-thick layer of frost.
The crystal clear frost is connected in a line, like a frost path.
And the temperature has plummeted.
The wind turned into a fierce winter wind.
The figure that appeared was like the winter god patrolling the territory, majestic and inviolable.
Anyone who dares to offend it will be punished by the harsh winter.
For example......
Qin Ran, who stood without kneeling.
