Chapter 22: Attacked Halfway
The Vatican is the smallest sovereign state in the world and the least populous country in the world, it is located in the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy, and from Transylvania in Romania to the Vatican it needs to cross the Carpathian Mountains, pass through Budapest in Hungary, and then travel for a while to change waterways. The journey is less than 2,000 kilometers in total, which may take up to a day for modern society, but in 19th-century Europe it took at least a month to reach.
In order to hide people's eyes, Van Helsing has always walked the avenue. Compared with the lonely Van Helsing, the journey of Princess Anna and Zhang Cheng and others was much easier, and Wang Jiahao had been locking the direction of Van Helsing, so the two teams kept a distance of about 1 kilometer. Anna was no longer surprised by Zhang Cheng's various abilities, and she was relieved to drive the carriage behind Zhang Cheng's carriage.
Whenever Van Helsing stopped to rest and eat dry food, Zhang Cheng and the others ate hot and delicious food cooked by Murong Wei, it seems that becoming a monster hunter who is not tolerated by the world is not simple, he needs a strong heart that can withstand loneliness. Compared with Zhang Cheng's experience in the world of reincarnation, Van Helsing's encounter is more tempering people's minds, because Zhang Cheng has a companion behind him who can be relied on, he is not alone, looking at Van Helsing's resolute face in the shared image, Zhang Cheng sincerely admires this strong man.
After spending more than ten days in this way, today Zhang Cheng and the others were marching as usual, and suddenly Wang Jiahao, who was joking with Murong Wei, had a tense face, and said to Zhang Cheng, Xiao Wei, and He Chuli through the chain of hearts: "There are three werewolves moving towards Van Helsing, and it is estimated that they will arrive in a few minutes at most, but the strange thing is that they are suspended in the air." ”
Through the images shared by Wang Jiahao, Zhang Cheng saw that the three werewolves were suspended in the air, moving quickly towards this side.
"They must have been brought by the three vampire brides, after all, only the speed of flight can catch up with us." Obviously, Wang Jiahao's mental power scan is ineffective against real vampires, so it looks as if werewolves are suspended in the air, otherwise if werewolves have the ability to fly, plus their perverted power is stronger than that of vampires, they are definitely invincible.
Hearing He Chuli's words, Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Three werewolves plus three vampire brides? Isn't that a bit too difficult? ”
"This is the result of your repeated mixing, and now retribution is coming." He Chuli snorted coldly, due to the presence of the plot character of the horseman, He Chuli couldn't say it too clearly, otherwise he would be deducted points by the main god, but Zhang Cheng understood what He Chuli meant, she was blaming Zhang Cheng for always changing the plot because of personal feelings, so the main god repeatedly increased the difficulty.
In the face of He Chuli's rebuke, Zhang Cheng was speechless, he knew that his behavior was indeed a little reckless sometimes, but since the danger had come, now was not the time for self-examination, considering the infectious ability of werewolf troubles, Zhang Cheng arranged the battle arrangement through Wang Jiahao's spiritual chain: "Xiao Wei, you and I deal with three werewolves." Mu Yi and Long Cen, the two of you will block the vampire bride, Wang Jiahao and Fu Shuai will cover the two of them, He Chuli and Murong Wei will stay in the carriage and don't leave. ”
After arranging, Zhang Cheng instructed the groom to drive the carriage closer to Van Helsing's position, and at the same time made a gesture to Princess Anna behind him, and Princess Anna behind him responded with a gesture to show that he understood, and the group slowly approached Van Helsing's carriage.
Van Helsing was driving the carriage, and suddenly he had a premonition that danger was approaching him, and with this keen perception of danger, Van Helsing had escaped death countless times. So at this time, he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, Van Helsing tied the reins in his hand to the carriage, picked up the repeating crossbow beside him, and kept looking around, ready to face the danger that might come at any time.
Just when Van Helsing was looking left and right, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, he turned his head sharply and aimed the repeating crossbow behind him, at this time, a black shadow rushed to his face, and before Van Helsing could pull the trigger, he was grabbed by the speeding vampire bride and led to the sky, and even the crossbow was taken out of his hand.
The vampire bride grabbed Van Helsing and flew into the air, letting out a smug laugh, as long as he flew high enough, no matter how powerful Van Helsing was, he couldn't escape the fate of being smashed into the mud. Van Helsing, of course, would not let the vampire bride succeed, he desperately grabbed upwards, and finally grabbed the vampire bride's wings flapping up and down, and tore hard. The vampire bride, who lost her balance, began to fall to the ground, and in desperation, the vampire bride had no choice but to let go of Van Helsing.
Unrestrained, Van Helsing fell to the ground, falling right on top of the galloping horse. Van Helsing landed on the back of the first row of horses, and if he fell even a second, he would have been trampled into pulp by the galloping horses. Van Helsing, on horseback, looked up and saw that there was a cliff ahead, and the bridge between the cliffs had broken, and if the carriage was not pulled in time, then it was likely to rush straight down the cliff. The horses pulling the carriage were divided into three rows, and only by jumping on top of the carriage could the carriage be re-controlled, Van Helsing stepped on the horse's back, jumped twice in a row on the galloping horse, and finally landed on the back of the last row of horses, and just as he jumped up and down on the carriage again, another vampire bride galloped from behind the carriage and knocked Van Helsing down on the carriage again, at this time the horses had already run on the broken bridge, and the well-trained horses did not slow down at all, but flew directly towards the opposite side of the broken bridge.
Van Helsing got up from the carriage, took out his dagger and cut the main rope connecting the carriage to the horses, and then jumped with great force and jumped directly onto the back of the last row of horses, and by this time the six horses had also jumped over the cliff and jumped onto the broken bridge opposite, but the heavy carriage fell off the broken bridge. Since Van Helsing had severed the main connecting rope of the carriage, the other ropes could not carry the huge weight, and the carriage fell towards the bottom of the cliff, and the six horses and Van Helsing escaped being pulled off the cliff by the carriage.
Since Princess Anna and Zhang Cheng had been driving on a relatively hidden path, they were not discovered by the vampire bride, which means that they did not know that the carriage that fell off the cliff was a trap, and Frankenstein was an important factor in resurrecting the descendants of Count Dracula, so the three vampire brides screamed and rushed towards the falling carriage. However, due to the huge inertia of the heavy carriage, the three vampire brides could not control the speed of the carriage's fall, so they decided to leave one of the vampire brides to rescue Frankenstein from the carriage, and the other two continued to chase Van Helsing and fulfill Count Dracula's order to kill them.
The remaining vampire bride opened the carriage, only to find that there were no Frankensteins in it at all, only a bomb full of silver nails, and the vampire bride who realized that she had been fooled roared angrily and quickly rose into the air, and at this time the carriage had fallen to the bottom of the cliff, and the violent impact detonated the bomb, and countless silver nails flew out, piercing the heart of the vampire bride. The vampire bride screamed and fell into the burning wagon, reduced to ashes.
Due to the small weight of the carriage and its skillful handling, Princess Anna quickly overtook Zhang Cheng's carriage and rounded the cliff to catch up with Van Helsing's horse. Anna drove the carriage close to Van Helsing, the strategy was obviously successful, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Van Helsing jumped directly from the horse to Anna's carriage and sat next to Anna, but the two who had not seen each other for half a month had not had time to exchange feelings, and suddenly three werewolves jumped out of the jungle opposite, and viciously pounced on Van Helsing and Anna on the carriage.
It is impossible for anyone to withstand a frontal attack from a werewolf, otherwise even if they don't die, they will definitely be scratched, and if they are like Prince Wicken, they are simply worse than dead. Van Helsing pushed Anna in time, and at the same time he also got out of the carriage, dodging the werewolf's attack, but the two of them overturned the carriage. Anna grabbed the edge of the carriage, and by this time the carriage had already driven up the winding road, and Anna was surrounded by cliffs at her feet, and if she let go, she would fall into the cliff and be crushed. And Van Helsing on the other side was not much better, he delayed in order to push Anna away, so he was in a hurry when he rolled off the carriage, so that his whole body lost his balance and fell directly under the carriage, if it wasn't for his timely grasp of a handle on the carriage, he might have been directly crushed into two pieces by the rear wheel.
Princess Anna shouted for help, Karl who heard the shouting pushed open the carriage door and saw Princess Anna hanging next to the door, such a dangerous situation made him feel very surprised, and hurriedly reached out to pull Anna in, but because Carl has been addicted to scientific research and his physique is quite weak, he does not have so much strength to pull Princess Anna in.
Van Helsing on the other side was even more dangerous, with the rear wheels almost touching his feet, and Van Helsing could only spread his legs as far away from the wheels as possible. At this time, the carriage handle he was holding could not withstand the huge force, and the screws on it began to fall off one by one, Van Helsing's body fell backwards violently, and the rear wheels were close to Van Helsing's crotch, if no one pulled him up, and when the handle was completely off, even if Van Helsing did not die, then he would lose his qualification as a man.
Van Helsing banged on the carriage desperately with his other hand, shouting for Carl to pull him up, but at this time Carl pulled Princess Anna and couldn't help at all, and even if Carl went to pull Van Helsing, it was impossible to pull him up, and Zhang Cheng Although their carriage was behind, the winding mountain road was very narrow, and Zhang Cheng couldn't get close, and for a while Anna and Van Helsing were in extreme danger.
"I can help!" Frankenstein roared at Carl.
"You're not going to kill me?" Frankenstein's vicious appearance has always haunted Carl.
"Yours let me go!" Frankenstein lifted the shackles on his chest, and the key was in Carl's hand, but Carl wasn't sure if Frankenstein would kill him directly after letting go of the monster, which put Carl in a dilemma.
The handle in Van Helsing's hand finally broke off from the carriage with great force, and the rear wheels of the carriage ran over his crotch.
