Chapter 2 The fire has not yet been extinguished

Several figures crawled out of the darkness with a metallic grinding sound, were they dogs in bright silver armor? Or a wolf?

However, no matter how you look at the delicate armor, the armor on the head is twisted and deformed by their heads, the claws of the limbs break through the original metal gloves and boots, and they even have sharp swords hanging from their waists, which feels like a group of beastly soldiers.

From the eyes of these beastly soldiers, Zhang Lin could feel their naked desire to attack, which was purely wanting to kill him rather than eating his gaze.

These beast soldiers have slender bodies, at least more than three meters tall if they stand up, and they can cross a long distance with a slight jump, this height is not the length of the beast, judging from the size of the armor, they are originally so tall.

The beast soldier at the head screamed and pounced about five meters away from Zhang Lin, and at the same time, a cold mist was raised on its body, and a string of ice crystals condensed in the air.

Zhang Lin, who had been prepared, jumped back with agility, dodging the attack of the beast soldiers, and was waiting

counterattacked, but the other party quickly threw the back half of his body with his forelimbs as the pivot point, this action was smooth, as if he had practiced countless times, and he was caught off guard, Zhang Lin was directly knocked out.

With a bang, the simple wooden house collapsed and buried Zhang Lin in it.

The beast soldier who successfully attacked Zhang Lin slowly approached the ruins of the wooden house, the beast did not make it lose its vigilance, it stopped at what it thought was a safe distance in front of the ruins, paying attention to whether there was still movement in the ruins, and the fluffy beast ears drilled out of the side of the helmet shook and swayed.

Soon, the instinctive warning made the beast soldier aware of the danger in the ruins, but its speed could not match the speed of light, and a golden light rushed out from between the tattered wooden planks, slammed into its head, and instantly lifted it away.

Half of the beast soldier's head became charred black after landing, and although it was still breathing, it was obviously incapacitated when lying on the ground.

Zhang Lin, who was protected by the shield, stood up from the ruins of the wooden house unscathed, although he was attacked carelessly, but the protection done in advance made him unharmed.

Perhaps motivated by the condition of their companions, the remaining beast soldiers rushed over together, and Zhang Lin could even see the saliva flowing sideways from their mouths with their tongues turned outward.

These guys seem to only pounce, scratch, scratch, and besiege when they can't see the cooperation of wolves in the animal world at all, and from time to time they will bump into each other because of Zhang Lin's dodge.

One of the beast soldiers repeated the trick when it failed to pounce on Zhang Lin, and learned that the first companion who had already fallen down did a 180-degree tail flick, but this time it did not feel the impact it deserved.

"The same move won't work for me a second time." Zhang Lin smiled and flipped onto the back of the beast soldier, the crystal in his hand quickly aimed at the weak point of its armor, and the golden light flickered, and the beast soldier was hit by the attack from the back through the soft waist, and collapsed to the ground in loss of strength.

Although their companions were constantly killed by Zhang Lin, these beastly soldiers had no intention of retreating at all, but fought frantically to the last moment with a momentum of fighting to the death.

It wasn't until the corpses of eight beast soldiers lay on the ground that only the sound of Zhang Lin's breathing remained in place.

At this time, Zhang Lin noticed that a short figure in the corner of the wall was squatting on a corpse in the corner rummaging for something, he squinted his eyes, and in the faint moonlight, he could see that it was a guy with a hat taller than a peak, and the cloth robe on his body made a slight noise under his movements, like a foraging mouse, but it seemed a little abrupt in this quiet environment.

"Who are you?"

As soon as Zhang Lin's words fell, he heard a few dog barks, and there was a skinny puppy hiding next to the short man, and the bark seemed weak.

"You're scaring my dog," said a man's voice from under the peaked hat, as he reached out and touched the puppy's head to soothe the restless little one, "good dog, stop barking." ”

The puppy whimpered a few times under the soothing of the man in the pointed hat, and finally settled down.

The man turned his head as well, only to see that the wide peaked hat covered most of his face, leaving only his mouth and thin chin. Two small holes were cut in the position of the eyes, allowing him to see clearly while wearing this unique hat.

When he looked closely, he found that it was just a few thick pieces of gray linen wrapped in his thin body, and judging by the exposed arms, this guy was no better than his puppy.

"The Venerable ...... Forgive me for not being able to see your identity," the man looked at Zhang Lin a lot, and he didn't think of what to call after a pause, "A capable person like you shouldn't embarrass a little person like me, I'll just do some scavenging, or steal some worthless little things to make a living." ”

"You touch my loot in front of me, can this also be called scavenging?" Zhang Lin thought that this thief or scavenger was a little funny.

Hearing Zhang Lin's words, the thief hesitated a little, should he retreat into the darkness behind him, he was familiar with the terrain and could easily find a way to escape, but he did not leave immediately, but laughed dryly, "If my behavior is really offensive to you, then I will leave, you see, I will just pick up something you don't like." ”

As he spoke, the thief spread his hand, and there were only a few gray-black coins of unknown material, "I haven't touched the valuable armor." ”

Zhang Lin waved his hand, he didn't care too much about these things, "I'll just ask you some questions, if I am satisfied, these will be yours." ”

"You're so generous, my lord," the hunched thief bowed to Zhang Lin in a strange gesture, presumably to show his gratitude, and then patted the puppy lying on the ground, "We can have a full meal today." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy yet, if you don't satisfy me, you won't be able to take anything with you."

"Yes, yes, my lord, I know everything." The thief's body looked even more rickety, and he was about to lie on the ground.

"Do you know what these guys are?" Zhang Lin asked, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

"They're said to be knights from the Cold Valley, but I don't really know why they became like this." The thief looked at Zhang Lin with some concern, for fear that his answer would not satisfy him.

Zhang Lin nodded and continued to ask, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Graylat of the Undead Settlement, my lord, and as you can see, I'm just a thief." The short man who called himself Guerrillat was not secretive about his profession, and it seemed that thieves were not a shady profession here.

The cold valley and the undead settlement made Zhang Lin a little concerned, "Where is the nearest city?" ”

Hearing this question, the thief was stunned for a moment, "It seems that my lord, you are from a far away place, and the immortal settlement is just outside the city of Losric, because the second prince refused to continue to spread the fire, many outsiders came here, and they all wanted to persuade the prince to perform his duties, but since the royal family, which has always followed tradition, has changed, how can outsiders change." ”

"Now, fire...... How's it going? ”

Greillard glanced at Zhang Lin with some surprise, "Fire, of course it's okay, it burns normally, even if the prince gives up passing the fire, the fire is not so easy to extinguish, what are we worried about before the bell rings?" Speaking of this, the thief laughed a few times, "But this has nothing to do with us, the fire is all the business of the big people." ”

"My lord, where are you going?" After seeing Zhang Lin hear this, Guerrillat turned around and left, looked at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Lin who was shrouded in a faint light, hesitated for a while and chased after him.

It turned out that the time had not yet come, the flames had not been extinguished, the bells had not yet sounded, and the ashes of the fireless were still sleeping.

So, what happened when the undead who appeared in King Arthur's world said that the fire was extinguished? With this doubt, Zhang Lin stepped into the darkness.
