Chapter 166: Beacon Fire Consecutive March II
The orange-red vortex portal opened beside Erica, this time it was the magic system of this world, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to signal Erica not to come.
Then he didn't even pull out the sword that was stuck in the corpse, and he quickly took the spoils of war from the two of them...... What dimensional bags, magic wands, scroll barrels, magic books, and so on have all been peeled off.
But then it was different from what he imagined - instead of rushing out of the door with a murderous crowd of people from the City Lord's Mansion, only his teacher Su Mei and another middle-aged mage were present.
Shen Yan immediately guessed that something might have happened to the City Lord's Mansion!
"Take Erica back to the Magic Tower, right away! It's the safest place in the city. Shen Yan shouted directly. Erica grabbed the middle-aged magician's sleeve in a panic, apparently she knew this person - and both of them were obviously familiar with Erica. Among the rotating personnel guarding the mirror, there are a few who don't know the city lord's daughter.
Then the little girl looked at Shen Yan pitifully, as smart as Erica naturally guessed what Shen Yan thought. But at this moment, it seems that the only person she can trust is her little brother.
"Shen Yan ......" Su Mei also looked over, and there was only pure worry in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but this trouble is likely coming my way...... You know my secrets. Shen Yan blinked at Erica, who opened her mouth and seemed to think of something. The mysterious organization that Shen Yan talked about, she always thought it was similar to the gangsters in the city......
Shen Yan pulled out his sword from the corpse with a "bang" and threw it casually. The blood brought out surrounded him, drawing an incomplete circle on the ground.
"Goodbye teacher, Erica, be obedient...... Take care. Shen Yan took a few steps back, jumped down from the other side of the road, and disappeared into a field of buildings.
"Mr. Kenneth," a lost Erica turned to look at the middle-aged magician.
"Don't worry, the city lord is fine, Master Ned has passed; Julils is seriously wounded, and his life should be fine, so I'll take you to see him. Kenneth took Erica by the hand and walked through the portal that Sumy had opened.
*****
Less than five minutes after the four men left, two black cloaks arrived at the scene under the cover of a nearby building.
One stood guard with his weapon drawn, while the other crouched down to examine the body. The dripping blood and the heavy bloody atmosphere at the scene made both of them frown!
"A person attacks head-on, and the magician unleashes the spell from the side, and there should be someone who cooperates to save people, which is a very standard practice. It's just, it's a little weird. The person who squatted down to look at the traces in the pool of blood suspiciously, and said to himself. Or maybe they're all wearing the same gear and all of them are about the same weight...... Or are these actually people?
"Wait, this sign......" He finally noticed the circle where the last blood was spilled, and his heart was shocked! A bad thought came to mind!
But at this moment, two powerful arrows suddenly broke through the air and flew towards the two of them in almost no particular order!
The two men who had been on guard for a long time shot down the long arrows with a wave of their weapons. For a veteran adventurer on alert, a sneak attack with a bow and arrow is almost impossible to succeed...... But just as they were thinking this, in the shadows cast by a nearby house, there was a distortion of light and shadow—a black cloak turned from a phantom to a physical entity!
He clutched his throat, staggered out of the shadows, and fell at the feet of the two with a "poof"!
There is a sharp arrow stuck in his throat that runs through the back! The tail of the arrow is still trembling!
The two of them only felt that their scalps were numb!
In fact, there are a total of three people who came together, and the division of labor was originally two people in the light and one in the dark, they attracted the enemy's attention in front, and one person lurked nearby waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack!
The person who knew that the person in charge of the sneak attack was killed by the sneak attack - those two arrows just now were a trick, and this silent arrow was the real killer!
"Beware of sneak attacks!" In the black cloak, the ranger, who had just been in charge of probing the scene, shouted loudly, taking the initiative to go back to back with another person. The other senior warrior took a deep breath and pulled off the black cloak on his body, revealing the steel armor underneath!
*****
Vigilantly watched the duo around them, not noticing that their fellow wanderers who had just fallen at their feet were still dying.
Although he was hopeless, he still had the last bit of breath......
There is a great terror between life and death! The wanderer's eyes were filled with blood, and he felt like his alveoli were all pressed together, and he could no longer squeeze out a trace of air. The blood-colored river was flowing around him, and he could already hear the sound of water! The corpses seized him by the hands and feet and dragged him into the river. The wanderer tried to struggle, but he couldn't control his body, so he could only slide weakly towards the river......
But at the last moment, a kind and warm voice sounded in his heart, "Don't be afraid of my child, I'm here to pick you up." Your journey is over, would you like to go to my country? ”
"My lord!" The wanderer was moved to tears in his heart - if his piety in the past was only 10, now it is 100! He could never have imagined that he, an ordinary professional, would have the honor of being personally led by the Lord!
And to save him before he is about to fall into the abyss with the river of souls! What a blessing!
"I do!" The wanderer said reverently.
He felt his body "melt" little by little, and "appeared" little by little in another place, is this what it feels like to go to the kingdom of God...... Why do I feel like the arrow is still stuck in my throat? Why is there still something scratching my hands and feet?
I still seem to be lying in that red river?
A piercing sound of "poof" was muffled by the mournful wail that followed!
The black-cloaked ranger turned around, only to see a figure tumbling away, and a companion with blood rushing out of his crotch! A ridiculous thought came to him, how did the man lay at their feet disguised as a wanderer's corpse?
From where the man drew his sword, and the corpse of the wanderer, the ranger could naturally tell what had just happened - the enemy disguised as the corpse of the wanderer, sneaked up from below, and pierced the ...... Ahem.
But the problem is concerned, the scene where the wanderer was hit by an arrow in the throat just now, he was absolutely not mistaken! So what exactly happened just now?
But he didn't have time to think deeply, because the other party didn't intend to let them go at all!
The black shadow that rolled away was just to open the spurting bloodstream, and the enemy slammed on the ground and pounced again. At this time, the ranger was already frightened, and he swung his sword indiscriminately in his hand, shouting, "You are the one of the Light of Order? I swear we're not targeting you, there must be a misunderstanding here......"
"There was no misunderstanding." He heard the other party say indifferently, and then he felt a cold under his armpit, and he had been slashed with a sword!
The blood of the canopy is splashed!
Lunatic! It's the madmen of the "Light of Order" who are stepping on horses! Sure enough, that's the sign I saw!
The ranger didn't care how many swords he was hit, he jumped frantically from the small cliff on the side of the street! casually slapped the healing magic on the shoulder, and rushed towards Midtown in a panic! He had to hurry up and inform the chief of the news......
The black-cloaked ranger didn't dare to look back, so he didn't see it, and the sneering Shen Yan was already packing up the loot and didn't chase after him at all.
He just wanted the news to get out.
