Chapter 20 The Mountains Behind the Sanatorium
"Why isn't there any?" didn't you say it was heavily guarded?" the two swaggered along the hill behind the sanatorium, Julian puzzled by the incredible calm. Please use this site.
"The drinking water that was delivered to the annex this morning was soaked with a powerful drug, which is a good thing for the apple trunk. ”
Speaking of the nun, the beech tree's expression was a little proud, which inevitably led Julian to guess that the two of them might not be just a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"But the advantage of this drug is that it is colorless, odorless and fast-acting, not that it lasts for a long time. The soldiers stationed here are all well-trained, and they will wake up earlier than ordinary people. So we have to hurry. Beech added.
It was then that they came across two more "trees".
"The Mangrove" - Selina still shrouded herself in the nun's robes, but judging from her bulging sleeves, there must be some kind of weapon hidden inside, and as for the "Torch Tree", the attendant of the Myron Knight, his appearance startled Julian, although he had seen the young man's ability to fly through the walls, Julian still underestimated his ability, this was the first time in Julian's life that he had seen such a agile man, and when the torch tree flew down the roof in front of him, Julian was unaware.
"They succeeded, didn't they?" It wasn't that Beech didn't trust his companions, but it was a cautious disposition, and he wanted to confirm further.
"That's right, the man has been rescued. Torch Tree wiped her nose and said, "And Miss Frey's hiding place will soon be known." ”
"Where?" asked Julian, impatiently.
"Young people are always bored, so they can't be patient. Selina scolded. But her tone didn't sound like a cold stern, but like a mother teaching a naughty child who was clamoring for candy. "I made such a big sacrifice before, and I was waiting for this moment. When he said this, Selina's voice was soft, but Julian heard it clearly, and he vaguely felt an unknown sorrow in Selena's heart.
"Quiet. Someone came over. "At some point, I climbed to the torch tree on a large tree and alerted the three people below.
Julian and the other three immediately dodged and hid in the grass next to them. But it wasn't long before I heard the relieved voice of the torch tree: "Don't worry, it's your own people." ”
The two rescue teams finally converged. Julian saw the two husbands and wives, the oak and the oak, walking in front, and the coconut and fir trees following behind with one man on the left and one on the right. The coconut tree is still dressed as a thief, and the cedar tree has faded from the conspicuous rich merchant costume, wearing a sergeant's uniform with a long sword pinned to his waist, what Julian did not expect is that this sergeant's uniform is particularly suitable for the cedar tree, it seems that the fat figure he showed in front of outsiders before is pretended, in fact, he is not so fat.
As for the man who was framed by the two of them, he was wearing a wide gray cloak, and although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he could be seen from his tall stature that he was a burly man. "Is he another target?" Julian asked in his mind.
"How's it going?" asked the beech tree emerging from the grass.
"一qiē顺lì. The oak tree replied, pointing to the man behind him who was standing between the coconut and cedar trees, and said, "When we found him in the room, he also drank the water that had been soaked in the drug." This also explains why this person is so unconscious.
"Where is the girl, have you found where she is?" said Selina to Julian's most concerned words.
"It's the little building opposite the gentleman's room. "We looked over his room, and saw that there were women's clothes hanging from the window of the room, and that a watchtower had been built between the two rooms, so that two men could be kept under watch at the same time." ”
"Okay, without further ado, you guys rush to the evacuation site at once, and we'll go and rescue the girl. Selina said.
The two groups exchanged glances with each other, and then each left in opposite directions.
But at this moment, there was a sudden smell of danger in the air!
"Be careful!" Julian reflexively lunged to the side, pushing Selina away.
A small fireball exploded with a "bang" where Selina had been standing.
Several people looked up in surprise and found several strange figures suddenly appearing in the sky.
"Harpy!" Julian recognized the monsters for the first time.
At the same time, the people of the "woods" also avoided themselves or helped their companions to avoid the fireballs shot by the harpy.
"Impossible! Didn't the Harpy be killed in Hansha City?" Torch Tree was a little dazed, he didn't expect things to go in this direction.
"Hell knows how many of these monsters the Central Curia raises. Cedar responded.
"Bastard, these monsters are all going to die for me!"
Julian was furious. He drew two swords from his waist and threw them in his left hand at the nearest harpy, half of which was slashed by the swift swift sword before the beast could react. The long sword that pierced through the rain of blood swirled, fell in a parabola, and finally landed on the pole of a large tree.
At the same time that the unlucky harpy was dismembered alive, Julian had already calculated the fall point of the long sword, and he rushed in the direction of the big tree, and when he was about to rush in front of the big tree, he suddenly accelerated, stepped on the tree pole with his left foot and jumped in the air, and stepped on the hilt of the long sword inserted in the tree with his right foot, and the whole person jumped higher, jumped to a height of 4 or 5 meters, and pounced on the other harpy.
The harpy also realized that this unkind human was coming, and immediately threw the fireball caught in its claws towards Julian, who was in mid-air, and Julian could not dodge, and he would never dodge, but directly aimed at the oncoming fireball, and slashed the long sword clenched in both hands!
The people below were terrified. Julian, who thought that he should have been devoured by the fireball, actually split the fireball into two with the sword wind generated at the moment of swinging the sword, and slashed the blade horizontally on the harpy. Before the beast could scream, it was already cut in two and fell from the sky. And between the two corpse heads and the rain of blood spilled, Julian was seen to roll forward in the air and fall steadily to the ground. Coherent.
After landing on the ground, Julian, covered in the blood of demonic beasts, held his sword in one hand, and looked up at the other harpy banshees hovering in the air, his eyes glowing with anger. At this critical juncture, he was hindered from rescuing Frey, and he wanted to kill all of these monsters without leaving them all behind. Feeling the fierce murderous aura emanating from Julian's body, the Harpy, who is known for her ferocity, would actually feel frightened, and climbed higher into the air to avoid Julian's attack range.
"Don't be presumptuous!" In order to prevent Julian from falling into a fierce battle with the Harpy, Beech Tree hurriedly reminded him beside him.
"That's right, it's important to save people, and I'll leave it to our husband and wife here. Oak said. Julian saw that the oak tree had an extra crossbow in his hand at some point.
Oak nodded at Julian, and she had an extra magic scroll in her hand.
"Okay, please. At this point, Julian had no choice. Harpies popped up one by one, and it was the most unwise thing to leave to fight them, not to mention whether they could get out of the way, and it would be troublesome if they alarmed the guards outside.
"I remember the location of that little building, come with us. "Coconut Tree Road. Then he let go of the man with the gray hood he had rescued, and ran back the way he came, with Cedar Tree carrying the man on his back and running in second place, followed by Selina, Torch Tree, Beech Tree, and Julian.
The harpy, who was temporarily frightened by Julian's murderous aura, seemed to have eased up at this time, relying on more and more companions around her, they overcame their fear, and watched the humans below run in a row in one direction, and the vicious instinct of the monster was stimulated, and they swooped towards the rescue team!
A sharp arrow burst through the air, piercing the head of the harpy in the lead.
"You monsters, ugly monsters with feathers and screaming worse than ducks, dare to ignore us. Oak taunted the group of monsters as he loaded the crossbow with another arrow.
Sure enough, the actions of the Colored Oak Tree angered these bloodthirsty demonic beasts, and most of the harpy turned around and flew towards the two of them, while the remaining few demonic beasts continued to chase Julian and the others.
"Hmph, come on. "In the face of the siege of dozens of harpies, without any cover and assistance, the colored oak tree did not tremble with fear, and he raised the short crossbow in his hand smoothly and calmly.
"Thunder!" As her husband shot his crossbow arrows, Oak released the energy sealed in the magic scroll in his hand.
A powerful electric current attached to the flying crossbow arrows, and when the crossbow arrows hit a harpy, a muffled thunder sounded in the air, and the harpies who were shot were blown to the flesh by the powerful lightning energy that burst out of their bodies on the spot㴮, and the surrounding harpies were not spared, because the current that came out of them was transmitted between their bodies at a rapid speed, creating a chain reaction......
At the same time, led by the thieves' coconut trees, the crowd ran to a small four-story building made of paulownia wood.
"Is that chick locked up inside?" asked Beech Tree.
"That's right. The head of the coconut tree replied without replying.
The door of the house was locked by a padlock, and the coconut tree quickly pulled out a wire from his body, reached into the keyhole of the padlock and played with it a few times, only to hear a "snap", and the padlock was easily opened. Then the coconut tree kicked the door open.
And at this moment, four harpy banshees chased after him in the sky behind him.
"What a ghost!" Julian clenched his swords and was about to turn back to fight.
"Leave it to me. It was the youngest torch tree who spoke, and he wiped his nose with his hand and grimaced mischievously at Julian, then turned and charged towards the Harpy.
"But......" Julian was about to stop him, but was pushed into the small building without saying a word by the beech tree behind him.
When everyone entered the small building, the coconut tree closed the door with a "bang" and locked it from the inside.
