Chapter 72: The Dawn Is Approaching (I)
In a relatively empty place in the city of Laiming, a middle-aged man was lying quietly on the ground.
His brow furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare, and the biting cold wind of midnight was unbearable for his thin clothes.
After a long time, he took a breath, opened his eyes and woke up, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly got up and looked around.
Where is this? How did I end up here? What's going on?
This man was the one who had been defeated and captured by Moriel and captured Prince Hissius, and now his memories seem to have been altered in some way.
"Hiss......" Assis tried to stand up, but every part of his body suddenly felt pain, making it difficult for him to stand up.
With no sign of humans around, neither demonic ones, but Yasis couldn't help but wonder if his army had been victorious.
In front of him were ruins and the road in between, which had also been destroyed, and where Assis was seemed to be a crossroads.
Just as Assis pondered how to get out of here, a terrible and strange cry caught his attention.
The cry was too great a source of frightening in the night, and Assis was no exception, and a gust of night wind blew through him, and he could not help but shiver.
At this moment, there was a sound of small footsteps, and Yasis couldn't help but wonder, could it be the army that came to meet him?
Assis listened carefully, and the sound seemed to come from the highway to the west, and he looked there with all his might.
Soon, a figure gradually walked out of the darkness, and Yasis narrowed his eyes, could it really be the army?
But how did they know they were here? Probably no one will know?
The figure walked in a strange way, leaning to the right, and his hands drooping forward as if they were boneless.
Assis became alert and began to push himself back, but the sharp pain in his body made it difficult for him to move.
Finally, the figure appeared in the moonlight, and Yassi's face instantly became extremely ugly, this is not a person at all, this is some unknown new type of demon!
Yasis began to become anxious, and he urged his strength to try to destroy the monster in front of him, but to his great surprise, all his power seemed to be gone.
Beads of sweat slipped down his face, the demon in front of him moved relatively slowly, and he could still deal with it, but ......
Yasis vaguely saw that there was a large group of monsters not far behind the monster, rushing towards him.
"Bastard......" Yasis couldn't help but curse, what happened to his body? Where did these demons come from?
Of course, he didn't know that these humanoid red demons were the products of the red mist, but since the energy of the red wings had dissipated, the power of these demons had weakened a lot.
Otherwise, Assis would have been torn to shreds by these resentful creatures created by the Bloodkill Forbidden Technique in no time.
Thinking of countermeasures while trying to move backwards, Yasis could be said to have never been so embarrassed.
Now that he has lost all his strength, it is impossible to even stand up, and he is naturally extremely panicked in the face of this situation.
Yassi's hands groped on the ground, trying to find something to defend himself from, and the monsters approaching on the opposite side looked weak, and he should be able to deal with them if he had the right chance.
Soon, he touched something hard, quickly picked it up, and when he looked at it, it was a shovel.
It's enough to have this...... Assis tightened his grip on the short-handled shovel and stopped moving himself, watching as the monster gradually approached.
The demon's hands were sharp claws, and he was swinging at Assis as if to tear him apart.
Assis couldn't help but be furious, no one dared to be so disrespectful to him, and when the time came, he would definitely blow the monster's head with his own hands!
The monster let out a series of strange and permeating roars, getting closer and closer to Yassith, five, three, two, one......
Yasis decisively swung out his shovel and hit the monster's red head, and the next second, his eyes widened in surprise.
The monster's head didn't burst open as he thought, but it was intact, but Assis's arm was a little numb from the shock.
The monster stretched out its claws and stabbed at Assis, and in horror he hurriedly resisted with his shovel, only to find that he was suddenly unable to use his strength.
Suddenly, a long sword flew by, instantly cutting off the monster's arm, and the injured monster took a few steps back, and its cry became even more fierce and piercing.
Leto, who was carrying Xu Ming's sword on his back, hurriedly stepped forward, kicked the monster down, and then helped the terrified Yassi.
"Are you alright?" Leto asked with concern, he didn't see the face of the person in front of him, he only thought of him as an ordinary person in distress.
Assis just wanted to say something, but was grabbed by Leto and ran wildly, which is also strange to say, before it would be extremely painful to move, but now he can run smoothly.
"There are still those demons here, and I know a good place to get us through this!" Leto said confidently.
"Thank you so much...... "Yasis said, the young man in front of him looked like a nobleman, and not an ordinary nobleman.
In this way, the two of them scurried all the way, barely encountering the red demon on the way, and finally Leto stopped in front of a dilapidated shop.
"The basement of this mall has not been damaged, it is still functional, and there is enough food in it." Letto said with a hint of meaning.
"Hmm...... Well. Yasis responded, knowing his situation at this point, and only this young man could carry him through it.
Leto was carrying Xu Mingjian on his back and was about to enter the mall when a terrible scream came, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Are those demons coming again?" Leto became vigilant and began to look around.
Just as he was about to pull out the great axe, another cry was heard from a distance, but it was a dull roar.
For this roar, Leto and Yasis looked at each other, this is clearly a military monster domesticated by the royal army!
"Great!" Leto rejoiced, "We can let the monster carry us out of the city!" ”
As if he wanted to say something, he thought for a long time, and suddenly his face changed, and he grabbed Leto by the hem of his shirt and dragged him into the mall.
"What are you doing here, sir?" Leto wondered.
"That's not a military monster!" Yasis stood in front of the window, observing the situation outside.
Leto touched his head and looked out with him.
Soon, a mid-sized earth dragon stumbled over, its body was covered in subtle scars, and soon, the earth dragon could not support it and fell.
Leto watched this scene in amazement, the Earth Dragon's defense is one of the best among the Warcraft, what could hurt it so badly?
There was another sound of footsteps, and Assis frowned, and he understood what they meant.
A group of red demons dripping with red liquid walked towards the Earth Dragon, their sharp claws easily cutting through the Earth Dragon's hard skin, tearing out a large piece of flesh.
These demons greedily gnawed on the flesh and blood of the Earth Dragon, and the terrifying and penetrating sound of gnawing made Leto's whole body tremble.
"They...... Why did you eat that dragon? Leto asked.
Yassius, who was watching closely, did not answer, and after a long time, he turned back and said, "Let's hide in the basement first." ”
Leto was a little confused, but he still led Assis to the entrance, set up a ladder and climbed in.
After entering the basement, Assis said, "I have never seen those new types of demons of unknown species before, when did they appear?" ”
"I don't know much about that, but I just know that they were born in the red mist." Leto walked ahead and replied.
Red Mist ...... Assis began to think about it seriously, and with his vast experience and knowledge, he speculated that the Red Mist should be a forbidden spell used by demons.
And these demons should be nurtured by forbidden arts, and then born with living people as nutrients.
But now that the red mist has dissipated, why are these demons still there, instead of disappearing? Arcis's doubts deepened.
In the blink of an eye, Yasis had already arrived in a relatively empty place, and Leto carefully placed Xu Mingjian on the bed.
Assis found a chair and sat down, and began to think about the complex issue, which he felt must be something larger than a demon's plot.
……
In Heiyao City, after telling Lan Kuangming the news of Lan Xiaoyu's disappearance, Tian Xuelan continued the mission of chasing Lingxi.
Through various investigations and methods, Tian Xuelan targeted the aristocratic district of Heiyao City, which was the place where Lingxi had the greatest chance of appearing.
It was impossible for Lingxi to escape from Heiyao City, the city had already laid a Saint Star-level barrier three days ago, and no one could escape from it.
Soon, Tian Xuelan began her search in the aristocratic district, of course, her actions were very low-key.
She paused as she walked past a mansion that was no longer inhabited.
This is the territory of the Kajinette family, and it is also the place where Lan Xiaoyu and Lan Qino disappeared, and Tian Xuelan can't understand the anomaly that appears here.
With the idea of trying it out, Tian Xuelan walked into the mansion, although no one had cleaned it for a long time, but because of the magic, everything seemed to have been carefully cleaned.
There was nothing abnormal in the placement of all the items in the room, and Tian Xuelan walked around the first floor a few times and decided to go upstairs.
The second floor is reserved for several descendants of the Carginette family, and here is their room.
Tian Xuelan casually pushed open a door and walked in, this seems to be a girl's bedroom, the walls are conspicuously pink, and the accessories are all things that girls like.
Tian Xuelan walked to the desk and picked up a delicate small mirror placed on the table.
This mirror is made of enchanted high-quality glass, which has the effect of making people more beautiful, and Tian Xuelan found something different from it.
She reached out and stroked the mirror, and a faint pink glow emerged from it, shining in the mirror.
