XXXIII. The Disaster of Conrad City
Li Qi rushed out of the door, looking at the column of gray and black smoke rising into the sky in the direction of the city hall not far away, dumbfounded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What is that?
If it weren't for the column of smoke rushing straight into the sky, it would have been quite strange, and Richie would have thought that someone had crossed the earth in a bomber and dropped a two-thousand-pound aerial bomb at the town hall.
"Master, that's a very, very evil aura!"
Although Sardar's IQ is worrying, he is unexpectedly reliable on key issues: "Run, young master, we have to get out of here!"
"I don't think there's a problem, huh?"
Tina, however, reversed the malaise just now and looked very energetic.
Seeing her like this, Li Qi was sure that it was really weird.
I knew I shouldn't have hitchhiked, and if I had come on horseback, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
The square was already in chaos, and the three of them struggled to advance through the flow of people, and Li Qi was a little annoyed.
Then he saw a huge worm emerge from the smoke and swallow a horse-drawn carriage at the edge of the square, along with a horse-drawn carriage.
The outline of the carriage flickered over the sticky skin of the bug, and when the bug turned around and swallowed a few more people with three swirling swirling mouthparts of serrations, Richie admitted that his legs were already limp.
Sardar slung him on his shoulders, spread his legs and strode forward. Tina muttered, "This bug is so uncute," and followed closely behind, no longer fascinated by the breath as she had just been.
"Isn't that the earthworm that Master Druid used to plough the land? and it's even bigger!"
Sardar shouted as he ran, and Richie could see it.
Could it be that Todd's so-called other mission is actually to wreak havoc in Conrad City?
Shouldn't I be glad that he didn't let the worm eat it?
Distractions were bubbling up in Richie's mind, and a certain speculation connected all the things he knew before, but vaguely, he couldn't grasp it.
As he ran, Sardar suddenly changed direction, and another bug rushed out of the building of the Adventurer's Guild. The body was two or three people tall, and the building was almost split in two.
The figures of the three girls in the guild could be vaguely seen in the smoke and dust, and Li Qi's heart sank, secretly hating his weakness.
The manhole cover of the drainage channel in front of it flew into the sky with a bang, and a ladybug that was at least two circles larger than its head came out. The color is very gorgeous, but it can only make people creepy when placed on such a body shape.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Sardar threw away Richie, took off the shield from his shoulder, and slammed it into the heading ladybug.
It's probably a druid-domesticated bug, so it's not known what it's really used for.
The knight and the insect each retreated, Li Qi's blood surged, the silver-white holy light on his body flowed, and a straw shoe shield was instantly formed, accurately hitting the ladybug and scattering a little bit of light dust.
YESοΌ
Li Qi wants to clench his fists and cheer, virgin kill, achieve!
The cool breeze suddenly rose, and Tina suddenly appeared behind the bug, the cold light flickered, and the bug was split in half with her dagger.
The slurry splattered, but not half of it fell on Tina, who had already flashed back, clenching her fists and cheering.
The human-headed dog is such a creature......
After all, it's not a team to fight monsters, Li Qi just spit out a groove.
"Young Master, what should I do?"
Seeing the insects burrowing out from all directions, the large area centered on the square has become a hive, and Sardar has no idea.
"Over there!"
Drawing on his experience in a previous life of public safety drills, Richie pointed to the widest street and said, of course, the main thing was that there was a soft white light on that side, which was the holy light of Kem, the god of loyalty.
The three of them ran towards the expected rescuer, and as they ran, the ground began to shake, and the sound of thumping footsteps got closer and closer.
Two sardars tall and weighed an estimated weight of more than ten tons, a giant bear wrapped in gray and black soot rushed towards it like a tank.
Looking at the strange runes on the shoulders of the giant bear, and then at the manic scarlet gaze in his eyes, Li Qi shuddered, could this guy have changed from Todd!?
The speed of the giant bear was estimated to be more than seventy miles, and it was in front of them in an instant, and the three of them had no time to dodge.
At that moment, Li Qi thought to himself, is the tragic fate of his previous life going to be repeated here?
"Goddess Goddess!
"Please select the prompt language, one is Mandarin, the other is Fein......"
Li Qi has a belly full of squirting and doesn't know how to squirt, where has the goddess gone? And when did she come up with an automatic response?
"Young Master, be careful!"
Sardar's sword was unsheathed, the rainbow flashed, and he rushed forward!
The formation was slashed at the door of the giant bear's face, and only a piece of broken bear hair was raised.
Enraged, the bear slapped him, and Sadar's shield glowed with iridescent light before bursting like a soap bubble.
Sardar flew out......
The giant bear slapped down again, and Tina behind him screamed, "Run, idiot!"
Her figure appeared in front of Richie, the dagger snapping into the bear's claws, splashing a series of sparks.
She flew out too......
Li Qi was alone in the face of the giant bear that was about to run over, and said that if I want to run, I have to be able to move my legs!
Let's fly out yourself......
Anyway, it's a pastor, as long as you don't choke on the spot, you should still be saved.
Thinking to himself, Li Qi knitted a straw shoe shield as a symbol of resistance, and smashed it into the nose of the giant bear with a weak force.
The light and dust fluttered, and the giant bear froze for a moment, and the scarlet light in his eyes actually weakened a lot.
The law of inertia still holds true in this world, and the huge body rushes by, and Li Qi spun sideways and slammed into the brick walls of the houses on the street.
It must be a clear human form, Li Qi vaguely thought. Fortunately, he hadn't fainted yet, and he could barely perform healing.
Only then did he see that the giant bear had stopped not far ahead.
Don't......
Li Qi's heart moved, could it be that the Holy Light of Thorns was effective!?
The situation of the giant bear just now was very abnormal, and it was obviously in a state of madness.
The soft white holy light suddenly soared, right in front of the giant bear, dazzling like a small sun sifting through a layer of filters.
In the holy light, a tall warrior figure was faintly visible, holding a shield and raising a sword, extremely holy.
Well, he was self-righteous, it was a paladin who stopped the giant bear, and that figure should be a paladin using some kind of magic spell.
The samurai shield slashed with the sword, and the giant bear let out a terrible wail, like a tank being kicked by a Gundam, rolling backwards, and then silent.
Li Qi's heart was shocked, if this bear was really changed by Todd, although he was only a fourth-level druid, he was still a civil druid who was not good at fighting, but in this state of madness, how could his strength be above level five. But in front of that paladin, he looked like a defeated king.
A green mist of black gas rose from the bear's body, and the bear shrank rapidly, transforming into a human being.
Sure enough, it's Brando Todd!
He wasn't dead yet, he struggled to get up, looked around, looked around with a confused expression, and muttered to himself, "What's going on?"
When he saw Li Qi again, he sighed: "Lord Viscount, you are still here." β
Richie is pried off the wall by Sardar, and Tina flashes back and uses a healing spell on one of them, and Richie wants to talk to Todd.
The white light flickered, and a line of blood appeared on Todd's neck, and he maintained this position, this expression, for several seconds, and then his head rolled off his neck, and the blood mixed with black gas sprayed high.
Todd's body fell to the ground, a steel boot stomped on the rolling skull, the paladin's sword wrapped in armor sheathed, and turned to look at the trio with dull expressions.
"Richie Preor?"
The cold female voice sobered up Li Qi, and only then did he see most of his face under the helmet. It's not stunning, but it's heroic, and it matches this armor very well.
Li Qi felt a little familiar, and when he heard her call out her full name, he said in his heart, could it be an acquaintance known to the original owner?
"Why are you here?"
The other party looked at Todd's headless corpse again, frowned, and said, "Do you know this druid?"
I do know, but your tone makes me subconsciously want to deny it!
Li Qi performed in his true colors, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"You didn't see that?"
The female paladin was a little surprised, and then pouted: "No wonder, it's just a little lord in the country, I've never seen this kind of thing." β
She pointed to the sky-high black smoke not far away and said, "That's the corrupting aura of the fallen gods, if I'm not mistaken......"
Nodding her head like a football, she sneered, "I don't know which idiot hired this civil druid to dig tunnels in the city that lead to the ruins of the gods. I didn't expect that there was too much corruption in the ruins, so ...... Bang ......"
She made an explosive gesture: "Squirt out." β
The Remains of the Fallen Gods!?
Corrupting Gas!?
Li Qi thought to himself that this was the case, and just now he vaguely guessed that it might be related to the ruins.
Tina muttered to her, "The ruins are under Conrad City, and they don't match the map." β
Li Qi glared at her, then smiled at the female paladin and said, "Fortunately, you arrived, no matter how big the trouble is, it is not a problem." β
He waved his hand: "Then I'll leave it to you here!"
I don't know why, he doesn't want to know who the other party is at all, and thinks it's better to slip away.
"Want to go?"
The paladin continued to say in a tone that didn't know whether to be disdainful or disregardful, "The mad druids and bugs are just minor troubles, and the air of corruption has polluted the entire city, which is a bit tricky. β
"I'm just a little viscount, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much," Li Qi said weakly, with a premonition that something bad was coming.
"It's up to me to decide whether I can help or not", the female paladin swept the three of them with a scrutinizing gaze, "My mission is only to seal this place, the corrupting aura of the fallen gods will not only erode extraordinary power, but also corrupt the souls of mortals, and you have also seen this situation of the druids." β
Behind her, a team of paladins wearing the emblem of Kem on their chests appeared.
"Your Excellency, you are a nobleman and a clergyman", the paladin's gaze paused on Tina for a moment: "You, and this knight of Shuma should be fine, but it is difficult for others to say, they have to be isolated and checked." β
Disaster from above!
Richie cursed, but he couldn't have left Tina.
I was about to ask about the inspection, and three people ran from the direction of the square. From afar, I heard a crisp girl's voice: "It's Lord Viscount! Oh, we're saved!"
Mina of the Adventurer's Guild, he heard it at once.
"Your Excellency the Viscount......"
"Viscount ββ!"
Anne and Mary also shouted, their voices trembling with fear, but full of joy that they had escaped.
The paladin asked, "That's your man?"
Li Qi didn't know what he meant, and subconsciously said, "No, that's the reception of the Adventurer's Guild." β
The paladin waved her hand at her subordinates, not saying a word.
A group of paladins stepped forward and drew their long swords, the sharp blades piercing the soft chests of the three girls, causing their expressions to freeze in the moment when joy suddenly turned to consternation.
