Chapter 9: The Purple Fur
On the path on the outskirts of Yisang, two charms will be hidden in the shadows of the trees. The darkness obscured their silhouettes and merged with them until the other two figures flashed into the trees.
"I've seen the Envoy. The two charmers remained motionless and murmured. These two intrusive figures are the dawn and the remnants of the night who have just retreated.
Xi raised his right hand, gestured in return, and said, "Are you sure it's here?"
"The envoy can rest assured that we have notified the ring towers on the other roads and given them the signal flares of the Charm Division. As long as the last soldier passes, he will not be released on the grounds that his identity is suspicious, and a signal will be issued immediately. Now, if you want to avoid the ring tower and leave the road of Yisang, there is only here. ”
"Okay, hidden. ”
The night was quiet again. Time slipped through silence, and only the chirping of owls echoed through the woods. The more the drama opens, the quieter it is in front of the venue.
Suddenly, a red firework screeched through the night in the distance. Three figures instantly rose straight up in the bushes.
"Envoy, it's a signal from the Seventeenth Ring Tower!" said a charm general with a little excitement.
"I said, hidden. Xi was still in the place where she had been hiding, motionless.
"Envoy, the Ring Tower has signaled!" the other general asked.
"Is that a signal from our Charm Department?" Xi's tone began to take on some anger, "The signal from the Charm Department is cyan, and the signal from the Military Department is red, are you blind? That's when they are informing the city defense army, maybe someone wants to force their way into the Ring Tower." No matter who that person is, it's not the last soldier anyway, otherwise they'll send a flare from the Charm Department. It is more likely that it was the person who took Jin Huang out of the city, and he wanted to pick up the last soldiers and lead us to the No. 17 Ring Tower. At that time, he would have withdrawn long ago, and the last soldiers would have slipped away. ”
Hearing this, the two looked at each other.
"What? I heard that the target is the last soldier, and I want to make a great contribution, right? Squat! Hide!" Xi rebuked angrily.
Xi said as he spoke, but his eyes looked worriedly at the remnants of the night who also stood up. The two recruits are not so excited for a while, but why is the night······
As the two of them crouched down here and hidden, Xi's pupils gradually narrowed. There was only one standing figure left in the bushes, looking in the direction of the fireworks, and that was the night. Just as Xi wanted to speak, the remnant night suddenly turned around. The two looked at each other, and Xi saw something different from her eyes before. It's no longer sluggishness, it's humanity. Xi's face changed instantly, and he shouted, "Catch her!"
Before the two charms could come to their senses, the night had turned into a red shadow and swept out.
"Admiral, her direction seems to be the Seventeenth Ring Tower. ”
"I know the, chase it!"
"What about the last soldiers?"
"No matter! If she runs away, I'll use your skins to take the blame!"
Xi's lungs were about to explode. finally lost Shan Chenggang, but something went wrong in the middle of the night, and it was still a fatal fork. The two novices on his hand are still okay with a favor, whether it is dragging the last soldier or capturing the remnant night, they are unreliable. There is no way, whether the No. 17 Ring Tower is a trap or not for the last soldier's partner, he has to go to this troubled water.
In the seventeenth ring tower under the moonlight, a man in a purple robe stood alone. Behind the man was an unidentified object nearly one person tall, wrapped in black canvas, and a bloody head was stomped. The stone wall next to the man was stamped with strange notches.
"What Yisang Ring Tower, it is vulnerable. The man chuckled, and a pair of slender ears poked out from between his hair. With this indifferent expression, it was not at all clear that he had slaughtered the entire guard of the Ring Tower just now.
Suddenly, the tips of the man's ears moved slightly, turned his head to look at the east, and said, "Sure enough, some interesting friends are here, let's say hello." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a red shadow fell in front of the man. The visitor was wearing a red tights and a white ghost mask, with a slender posture, bumpy and uneven, and the blade was flickering, it was the night. The man looked at each other and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a beautiful woman, it's rude." What do you call Miss?"
"I—I don't know. Nightfall clenched his hands on his twin knives, his voice full of struggle.
"Why, Mademoiselle seems to have a hard time controlling her thoughts?" the man heard something in the voice of the night, "what do you want to do here?"
"I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to kill you!" the night suddenly screamed, turning into an afterimage, passing through the man's body at a high speed that had never been seen before, with two cold winds. However, the man's body only shook a moment at the moment of being crossed.
The man turned around, looked at the remnants of the night, and said with a smile: "It's really a disappointment that such a beautiful young lady is so full of murderous intent." Say sorry to Miss, all you see is a shadow below. Next time we'll see you, if Miss can let me see your true face, it doesn't hurt to die once, hahaha. ”
As he spoke, the man's figure gradually became illusory. "By the way, Miss Reminder, there are three people coming from the direction you came, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing. ”
Then, the man vanished completely, leaving behind only a shattered crystal and a dull night.
In the blink of an eye, Xi rushed to the ring tower like a burst of black flames, grabbed the throat of the remnant night without a claw, and dragged it on the ground for more than ten meters, until the remnant night's head hit the wall.
"Burn!bring her back!Brainwash!"Xi threw the half-unconscious night to a ghost. The ghost, known as the Burning Charm, tied the hands of the remnant night behind his back and lowered the Ring Tower.
"Envoy, the guards here have all been killed. Another general stepped forward and said.
"I know, you and Scorch are bringing people back. Also, by the way, go and inform the military department. I'll leave it to me here. ”
Another charm general also left, leaving Xi alone on the ring tower. Xi picked up the crystal shard on the ground and muttered, "Shadow Spell? Then, Xi surveyed her surroundings, her gaze finally falling on the notches on the stone wall.
This is obviously the mark left by the battle just now, but what kind of weapon is this? Xi stroked the nick. The notches are shallow, neat, and even. There are unique lines distributed in the notch, and there is also a temperature to the touch. The strange scars in this made Xi feel very familiar. But as the envoy of the charm department, he didn't know how many weird scars he had seen, and for a while, Xi couldn't remember where he had seen them.
Xi picked up the skull on the ground and examined the wounds on the corpse. The scars on the corpse were similarly warm, ranging from lacerations to burns, and more importantly, blood from the ear of the skull. Xi's memory of this scar is too deep.
"Hehe, old friend, I've finally found you!!" Xi gritted her teeth at first, but finally couldn't help but let out a roar. The madness that has been suppressed for many years has made Xi a little broken.
A black stream of blood flowed from Xi's right eye, crossed the ghost mask, and dripped onto the stone bricks on the ground of the ring tower, splitting into several black blood streams, spreading under the heads of the other corpses on the ring tower. Then, like black snakes, blood and tears crawled up the corpse into the ears of the deceased. A chilling scene occurred, and the corpse's head burst open at the same time. Clouds of black mist floated out of his head, gathering into a black curtain in midair. On the black screen, a man in a fur coat left for the north.
The darkness dissipated in the blink of an eye, and only a shattered skull and black blood stains could prove it had appeared. "It's just a price, do you think I can't find you?" Xi wiped away the black blood tears on his right eye and smiled. Xi's voice trembled, and he seemed to be a little out of strength.
On the forest path on the northern outskirts of Yisang City, a man in a purple robe walked alone, carrying a huge object wrapped in black cloth behind him, and his slender ears poking out from between his hair.
Suddenly, the tips of the man's ears moved slightly behind him. Then, the man turned around, his ears facing straight ahead. After a while, the man turned around and continued on his way.
After a while, the tips of the man's ears moved again. The man turned around and listened, but still didn't find anything, and continued on his way.
The same action was repeated back and forth several times, and the man simply stopped, without looking back, his ears carefully searching for the slightest movement around him.
After a long time, the man finally walked away, but his ears were still erect. The man landed on the soles of his feet, stepped on a few broken leaves, and made a slight "clattering" sound. At the moment when this slight interference sound, a black shadow like a huge bat silently appeared in the air behind the man, wearing a black tights, a black ghost mask, and his armored right arm grabbed the man's head.
Although the comer had done his best to sneak attack, the man still reacted quickly and turned around and poked out with his palm. Strange ripples spread between the palms, accompanied by a low "buzzing" sound, forming a barrier in the air, blocking the Devilless Claws half an inch in front of the palm.
