Volume 6: Princess Tannick Chapter 101 Shadow Blade

In the night sky of Tannic, wanderers hissed in the desert, searching for prey. A few sand horned turtles, which seemed to burn with red flames, wailed in the canyon.

On the reef of the Lake of Hearts, there is a shell house. In front of the conch-shaped house, there is a winding stone road. On both sides of the road are drought-tolerant stardust grasses. Through the sparse star grass, looking from afar, it is almost impossible to see, the churning water in the holy lake, the holy lake seems to be entering old age, the water is getting less and less, the tide is becoming less and less, until recently, there has never been. The Crystal Skull Tribe, which was blessed by the Holy Lake, had a sharp increase in mortality, and it seemed to have become lifeless.

At this time, the Lake of the Heart, dressed in a light blue robe and wearing a tribal token on her bare crystal head, was sitting cross-legged on a rough stone bed. A guard in the dark, on his knees with his back to the door.

Listening to the screams of a few desert spiders in the desert in the distance, loneliness, loneliness, and worry about the Crystal Skull Tribe, mixed feelings, the tears in the eye sockets of the high priest flowed unnaturally.

And on the cliffs far away from here.

The broken stone gate was facing the desert, and the hot and dry wind blowing in the desert blew in through the hole in the door, making a "whining" sound.

The woman leaning on the stone chair was awakened by the wind, staring at the outside through the hole. Silent night, dim and starless. The sand and rocks are flying on the top of the mountain, the mountain wind is howling, and in the desert not far away, a hurricane is roaring. The hands that clenched the longbow suddenly relaxed, and the crystal turtle lying on its stomach in the distance spat out letters.

At this moment, on the rock wall under the cliff, several black shadows slowly climbed upward. The black shadow on the far right, wrapped in a black veil on its head, slid down, revealing a beautiful light blue face, and a pair of vestigial wings on its shoulders, and through the black leather armor that tightly wrapped its body, it was faintly felt that its chest was slightly raised. If Estini had been here, they would have recognized them, and they were none other than the Virgo astrologers who had invaded not long ago.

The astrologer clasped his hands tightly on the crack in the stone, and his body climbed upward, the dark blade in his hand piercing into the rock, and his toes tentatively probing the stone in front of him.

"Gurr," the crumbling stones fell, making a crisp sound in the dead night.

The man in black who climbed to the top looked this way, and the anger on his face seemed to be visible through the black veil. The man in black made a stop gesture downward, and several black shadows hung on the cliff wall and stopped climbing.

The woman in black on the right fell four or five meters after following the stone, and then clung to the rock on the side. The body swayed from side to side in the air, and slowly climbed up.

Inside, the Huntress of Ainina, heard a voice in the distance, her eyes opened, and a blue light flashed on the crystal skull. The ice turtle not far away, its eyes closed, shook its head gently.

After a long time, the astrologer on the cliff began to climb again.

A quarter of an hour later, the astrologer sat on the top of the cliff and took out the poison vial, and dipped several crossbow arrows in poison in turn.

At this time, the dark clouds dispersed, and by the faint moonlight, the tips of the dark purple arrows were stained with green juice.

Crossbow arrows in the wind, arrows quickly turn dark brown.

The leader of the astrologers waved his hand behind him, and a few men in black followed quickly. In front of the stone house on the top of the mountain, the astrologers lined up with bows and crossbows, mounted black-brown crossbow arrows, and fired them inside.

Repeated-fire crossbow arrows, like locusts crossing the border, flew through the thin stone slabs and flew into the stone house.

After a few rounds, the leader waved his hand behind his back, and the two men in black kicked open the door and walked in.

jet-black

Inside the stone house, it was quiet, without a single sound.

The leader of the astrologers reached out and took two crystals from his bosom and threw them out.

The room lit up, and with the help of the faint light, I could vaguely see two figures in the corner of the room.

The astrologer leader drew the spear from his back and threw it at the figure. The men in black who accompanied him also threw spears.

"Poof," the spear stabbed in with ease, and the massive impact sent the figure flying.

The leader looked at the figure suspiciously, and drew his spear. The tip of the spear was thin with powder, and the leader twisted the yellowish white powder with his fingers.

"Boom!" A flame rises, and the leader shakes his hand to extinguish the flames.

Two soft snorts were heard near the wooden bed. I was lying under the bed, the two astrologers who had entered the door early, my throat pierced by an arrow, and blood slowly flowing down the wound.

In the small room, Ainina was gone.

"Search!" The astrologer captain kicked the clothed stone man with his foot, lit the torch, and searched carefully near the cliff.

Striking the walls and the ground with a spear, searching back and forth. However, the expected escape route did not appear.

"Captain, this hunter is very sensitive. Do you hear us? A man in black looked behind him and whispered.

The astrologer captain glanced down at the woman behind him, fiddling with the chair with a missing leg that had fallen to the ground. After a long time, he measured the position of the stone man with a spear, "You two stay here, and the rest will come with me!" ”

The stone house was more than three meters high, the cliffs were blocked on three sides, and the only closest thing was the canyon and the lake, and in the half hour we climbed up, she could have escaped, but she didn't. There is only one possibility, waiting for us here, killing us. The astrologer captain quickly scanned the tidal lake with eagle-like eyes, his mind kept spinning, and after a while, he figured out that he had been tricked.

"Captain, not here." "Captain, there's no here." In the distance, several astrologers gathered around from a distance and whispered.

"Humph! Look no further! Get back! We've been tricked! The astrologer captain snorted, stared at the stone house in the distance, and ran back quickly.

The astrologer captain glanced at the female assassin in leather armor and whispered. "In your opinion, what is that dummy in the room for?"

The female assassin was stared at and couldn't help but whisper: "Captain, I know it's wrong, I accidentally fell a stone when I climbed up, and I almost fell to my death, you can't target me like this!" ”

"I'll talk about you later." The astrologer captain said calmly, "Tell me what that stone man does. ”

"Oops, Captain, that must have been used to pretend to be a human and let you attack." The team member on the side chimed in.

"Well, what then, after you lead me to attack?" The captain shook his head slightly, rejecting the claim, "If you want me to attack, wouldn't it be better for them to have the bodies of the two team members here, the room was so dark at the time that I couldn't tell the difference." ”

"What if they don't have that time?" The female assassin sighed, patted her leather coat with her right hand, wiped the dirt away, and said softly.

"Huh? Keep talking! The astrologer captain looked at the female assassin and smiled and nodded.

"Then I said, my thoughts are this: Aynina is the name, we came here to assassinate today.

As far as I know, she appeared as a commander in the last battle, but I don't know why she was expelled from the tribe. ”

As she spoke, the corners of the female assassin's mouth went up, and she made a gesture of helplessness, and continued, "It doesn't matter, but we have two of them on this mission, kill the commander, that is, her, and bring the body back to headquarters."

And the second one is an added focus: bring the Horcruxes back. According to the rules, this Horcrux must be a rhetoric, and it is unknown what it is for, but it is really important, so important that we must dispatch the Shadow Blade, and the level of the plan we execute, everyone must be very clear" After speaking, he looked at the astrologer captain.

"Aren't these two goals the same?" The one next to him interjected again.

"Shut up! Listen to understand that this must be done and chosen to be done! The captain stomped heavily on the ground, recalled the yellow-white powder, and asked, "There is white powder on the stone man, what is that for?" ”

The female assassin crossed her arms and smiled at the captain and said, "Not really, it is also possible that this so-called Horcrux is only owned by Ainina, and there are only a few or only one of them. In this way, if you kill Aynina, you can get the Horcrux, and this task becomes this one.

And Ainina doesn't live in the Crystal People, no matter what the reason, at least she won't go back now, so it provides us with the conditions to complete the task. So don't worry about her escaping or even returning to the clan.

What the? White powder? White powder! ”。 The female assassin screamed. "It's possible that this is something that ignites fire, those two are in trouble! We're in trouble too! ”

At this moment, a large fire was lit up in the direction of the stone house, illuminating the top of the mountain.

"Speed up!" The astrologer captain grimaced and roared as he kicked open the door of the stone house. The flames inside the stone house were soaring into the sky, and the flames rushed towards the doorway.

The stone house was silent, and the two black-clad assassins who had left behind were nowhere to be seen.

"You stay and wait until the fire is extinguished, and then look for anything missing." The astrologer captain whispered to the female assassin, and after speaking, patted the female assassin on the shoulder.

"You guys go and explore around the cliff, remember that people must not be scattered!" The astrologer pursed his lips with a twisted anger on his face. Led the remaining two in opposite directions.

"Did the captain find anything?" A quarter of an hour later, the astrologer and the team were back in front of the stone house, and the female assassin asked in a whisper.

The astrologer shook his head and remained silent.

Maybe it was because there were too many people or something, but Aina didn't even show up again.

At this time, the sky gradually turned white, and several people began to get anxious. The captain clutched his spear in his hand and paced in front of the stone house, knowing that after dawn, the Shadow Blade would be wiped out by the Shadow Blade if it was accurately detected by the Crystal People, and there was no chance of victory.

Now, the reason why the Crystal People are not acting is because Ainina did not notify the clan, even if the fire alarmed. The high-level people who stayed behind did not know our numbers and our combat objectives, and took cover for it in the night, but did not take action.

After dawn, the number of scouts will inevitably increase, and our whereabouts will inevitably be exposed and encircled.

The only thing I hope for now is that there is a problem within the crystal people and they are holding each other back.

"Captain, I have a plan!" The female assassin looked at the silent captain and suddenly smiled and said, "We can become hunters and kill Ainina." 2k reading network
