68. Bad news and good news
Zheng Yi covered his nose and took a step back, instantly blessed the fire of his soul and cast a healing technique.
Even though he reacted quickly, there was still a trace of fresh blood left under his nose.
He really didn't expect that the rescued Rog scout would actually throw a fist at him when he was excited.
There was no pressure to crush all the way, and Zheng Yi even forgot to put a [Soul Fire] on himself.
Elle sprang to her feet and reached for her waist, her saber gone.
She scanned around and saw the corpses of hard-haired rats, the remains of the walking dead.
"You're so angry when you wake up."
Zheng Yi could see from the spirit body of Rog Scout that she was not possessed or controlled by evil, and that the punch just now was her self-awareness.
Ellie froze, staring blankly at the torn armor on her body. There is no doubt that this is the work of the walking dead and hard-haired rats, who always have to dispose of the inedible parts before eating.
What emerges from the broken is white skin, flesh and blood, full of elasticity, the skin of a living person.
Elimo clutched her chest, abdomen, and arms...... Finally realized a fact:
"I'm not dead!"
Zheng Yi took out the tulip and held it in his hand seemingly casually: "As long as you have a breath, I won't let you die." ”
Elle finally bridged the gap between her previous memories and the current situation.
"Holy ...... He who! Elle reacted: "Hello Your Excellency, I'm Ellie, Rogge Scout......"
"You've already given your name." Zheng Yi touched the bridge of his nose, and there was still a little phantom pain.
Ellie suddenly became shy: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to wear black." ”
"Black is only because it absorbs all the color light, it does not represent evil." Zheng Yi was speechless.
"Yes, yes, the only thing you have to do with evil is this: you stand across from it." Ellie was pleasantly surprised.
Zheng Yixin said: The small mouth is smeared with honey...... He said, "Get in the car, there were three of you when you came out." ”
Elle thought of the other two companions, of the deception and ambush she had encountered.
These brainless walking corpses and instinctual rats seem to have suddenly become hunting experts.
What is getting on the bus, though?
Zheng Yi had already sat in the seat, twisted the accelerator, and put on his helmet: "Come up." He patted the chocobo's engine part.
Subjectively emotionally speaking, Zheng Yi really doesn't like to let women, even teammates, sit in this position.
Although the engine part has enough space, it is a little inclined after all, which will make people unconsciously slide towards the rider. And it looks like an ambiguous episode of a third-rate novel, with a warm fragrance of nephrite, grinding ears and temples, and a hard bulge...... This is not in line with the positive energy of this world!
But what can be done?
Irwen is in charge of taking the artifact and must sit in the front.
Elle is only one person, and if she stands in the side box, the chocobo is unbalanced.
Don't let her straddle her legs on either side or sit directly on the back top box.
Zheng Yi passed the integrity test, his eyes were firm, and his tone was upright:
"What are you waiting for?"
Elle was just thinking that the Sage looked so evil when he put on that colorful black helmet...... But this kind of sacredness has a slight evil aura in it, which is really exciting. She found the saber on the ground and used to sit sideways in the engine as instructed by the Sage.
The chocobo roared and quickly headed in the direction of the other two rog scouts.
Although Rog Scout roamed the wilderness alone, he also knew a rough idea of the divisions of his comrades.
Under Ellie's guidance, Chocobo soon discovers a second Rogge scout, who has been killed. She and her horse fell together, with the hard thorns of a hard-haired rat tied to her body. These hard thorns are like arrows, with paralyzing toxins and curses.
The tender internal organs were gnawed away, and there was almost no good meat on the body.
Ellie's face was gloomy, her hands clenched into fists.
Zheng Yi said in a low voice: "Turn your head and I'll deal with it." ”
Ellie stubbornly looked at His Excellency the Sage:
"Isn't that what my final destiny is? Please begin, Your Excellency, and I can only be comforted to see that I am finally purified and not have to become a Fallen Rog. ”
Zheng Yi was about to make a move, but suddenly felt that his skills were flawed, and he was less excessive.
Now it can only be purified by more violent means-
【Sacred Flame】
Golden flames rolled up from the ground and engulfed the body of the fallen Rogge.
Ellie was stunned by this power, seeing for the first time the power of the priesthood. She even suspected that such a power could directly kill hell and destroy all evil. The reason why the Sage did not go was simply that he had not found his way to hell.
Zheng Yi sensed a righteous and powerful soul floating in the air, but even with the use of spiritual vision, he could not see it.
It's a strange state.
But it is certain that she was bound by a curse in her flesh before, and now she is free.
The cursed remains dissipated in sacred flames, leaving a purified sword on the ground, as well as a belt.
Elle walked over and picked up her comrade's sword and belt, "I'll give it to Kasha." ”
Zheng Yi nodded.
The two hit the road again, their hearts filled with gloom. It can be seen that the evil power has increased this time, and even the well-trained Rogue scouts will encounter misfortune when the situation is unknown. At the current rate, two-thirds of the scouts will be killed.
And one more.
The chocobo ran wild through the wilderness, and soon made its way into the partition of the last rog scout.
The bad news is that no traces of her walk have been found, and the good news is that no remains of her or her mount have been found.
Constance wouldn't have gone back already, would he?
Elle thought to herself, but quickly dismissed the idea, no one could check their partition so quickly.
Soon after entering this area, Zheng Yi felt a strong evil aura. The concentration of evil here is second only to the Dark Forest, and it does not have a mental effect on people, but it does strengthen those evil creatures, as well as the necromancy.
Anyway, he didn't know where that rogge scout went, so Zheng Yi decided to rush to the place where the evil power gathered the most.
Constance thought the same as Zheng Yi.
Her mission is to find the confluence of evil, and naturally she goes to the most evil place. Unlike the young Ellie, she noticed the change in the evil power at the first time.
The veteran rog scout dismounted from a distance, let the equally experienced warhorse go home on his own, and approached on foot. This slowed her down, but she spotted several ambush circles of hard-haired rats and walking corpses.
As long as they don't rush deep into being besieged by monsters, Rog Scouts have the strength and patience to deal with them.
The most common tactic is to attack from a distance with bows and arrows, take them around in circles, and kill them one by one.
Constance used this method to kill a dozen walking corpses and twenty or thirty hard-haired mice, and he was only scratched by his own skin—the salvo of multiple hard-haired rats was still terrifying.
Step by step, she found more and more monsters, as if some kind of high-IQ monster was ordering them.
Fortunately, her previous caution gave her enough chance to retreat, but the secret monster controller discovered her intentions and ordered the rat to be sent to death.
Although Constance's greatsword could easily cut the hard-haired mouse in two, the hard-haired mouse still managed to hold her back.
The monster's encirclement was closed.
