Chapter 45: Man and Man
The purple gauze figure on the opposite side was silent for a while, and then said coldly as if nothing had happened: "It seems that you are not as simple as I thought?" ”
"It's that you're thinking too much," Bill heard the hostility in her voice, but he didn't know what to do.
"Humph! The undead witch has escaped, and I'm going to chase him now, and you're following me!" ”
"Huh? Do you know that old man isn't dead? Bill asked in surprise, he was still a purple sand girl and a masked man, thinking that the little old man was blown to pieces in the explosion!
No response.
"Do you know where the old man fled?" Bill continued, in his mind, he already had the little old man's complete tracking location, and it was clear that it was the credit of the Dark Mark.
"North"
To Bill's surprise, this purple gauze thin coat really knew the general direction.
His answer was correct, and Bill was absolutely sure.
"Do you have any questions??"
"Still suspicious of me? There's an easier way to prove that I have nothing to do with the old man anyway and that I don't need to do anything, do I? Bill explained lightly.
The scene of the brief confrontation and battle between the two just now made Bill dare not underestimate the young and arrogant mage lady on her head, and the strange-shaped transparent blade in her hand is a treasure among magic weapons at a glance, which is very rare, besides, looking at this young lady with such a confident appearance, it is obvious that she didn't put the strange old man in her eyes, maybe, after a fight just now, the old man has lost all the strength to resist, and this unprecedented way of escaping may also need to pay some kind of high price!
"Let's go! Don't let him run too far."
"I think he has now lost the strength to continue to escape"
The blue ice on the horizon spread in the air, and the woman in the purple gauze finally glanced at Bill, and then chased after him to the north without speaking.
Bill also looked at Kerr curled up in his arms, sighed lightly, and then jogged closely behind.
The figure in the sky doesn't fly fast, and even seems slow, and it doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
As she runs, Bill finds Kerr slowly recovering from her frostbite and then shrinks into Bill's arms in horror, she has developed a fear of the miraculous woman in the sky.
Bill is also helpless about this, in this world, there are always so many strange people, and the rune energy unique to the Rune Continent has been studied and passed down by countless generations of sectarian groups, which leads to the fact that humans with strange energy are everywhere, and even a high-level magic equipment can create a master, which is completely overwhelming.
"May I ask you a question?"
Bill followed behind the man, holding Kerr tightly in his arms.
"Say—"
"I want to ask you what you have to do with the man with the mask, are you in the same group?"
"Hmph, what do you mean by that? That guy is a witcher from an ancient mission—"
"Witcher?" The first time Bill heard such a term, he was slightly stunned, and asked more puzzled, "Is that the kind of demon hunter who only knows how to hunt down evil forces?" ”
"As you say!"
"Really"
Next, the two of them were silent, and Bill had been running with all his might, unlike the woman above, Bill's arms were completely holding a big living person!
This oil bottle, it looks like I really want to send her back, otherwise it will be too much of a delay in my time. 、
After running for five minutes, the purple gauze woman arrived at the established position, and it seemed that he also had the ability to track the dead witch, but for some reason, he didn't find the little old man.
Bill looked to the left and right in disbelief, and in his mind, his dark mark was in this direction.
Closing his eyes, Bill felt it more carefully.
"Wait, down there!"
A twin boulder is in the grip of a small hole, and Bill discovers a small hole.
The blue ice fell, and the purple gauze woman floated down from the sky, frowning and staring at this underground hidden cave.
As soon as Bill put down Kerr's efforts, he inadvertently saw a speeding figure in the distance, and in a few blurs, he appeared at a strange speed where the three of them were.
The ghost is not gone!
Bill had such a bizarre idea that he wanted to turn around and leave now.
And without waiting for Bill's action, the purple gauze woman didn't look back before she noticed the sudden extra person, and said coldly:
"He's down there—"
There are no following words, but the intent expressed is obvious.
The white-masked man looked left and right at Bill and the Blue Ice Woman, and without looking back, he raised his big black bow and went straight down from the cave.
The woman just crossed her arms on the side and looked coldly.
Bill felt his dark mark again, and indeed remained in this place, motionless.
Kerr cowered and hid next to Bill, a stranger, which made her fearful.
It only took two minutes for Bill to feel his mass of seed energy transfiguration sigil move, moving little by little.
"It's out!" Bill turned his head, his eyes staring unblinkingly at the exit of the cave between the stones.
Hearing Bill's words, the woman also blinked her eyes and also focused her eyes on this.
In the space of two breaths, a face appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.
It's just that this face has a pale mask on it.
As the man's entire body came out completely, the two of them could see his current appearance clearly, compared to when he entered, there was one more thing in his hand, which was a pure black energy group.
Bill felt that his dark mark was in it, he subconsciously waved his hand, and then an oval magic mark floated out of it, and it was his own seed energy.
The seed energy submerged into Bill's body, and this action slightly attracted the attention of the next two people, and then they both ignored it.
The seed energy was filled in Bill's body, and he became mentally steady.
"I really didn't expect this thing to be a 'ghost'? Be my guest! The woman looked at it twice, smiled, and then made a gesture of please.
The next moment, the man exerted a little force, and the black light suddenly exploded in the masked man's hand, the black mist drifted away, and then the entire energy body disappeared without a trace.
"Mission accomplished" The woman's hands patted left and right, dusted off, and looked like she was done, and then a bridge of ice and blue sky was erected, and she slowly walked up in Bill's field of vision, speeding away.
Bill turned his head and looked at the masked man's face again, but without a response, the masked figure blurred for a while, and he could no longer catch his shadow.
Bill stood stupidly in place for a moment, then slapped his head: "I'm here to make soy sauce!" ”
A fox covered in fiery red fur poked its head out from behind the boulder where Bill was, before it could see clearly.
was subconsciously turned over by Bill and pressed it down, locking the throat with one move, while the other wooden arrow had been grabbed by the palm of his hand, and the next attack was ready in the air.
"It's not in vain!"
Before Bill's words fell, he felt a strange taste on the tip of his nose, and the foul smell made his throat sweet and his eyes shivered.
His hand loosened, and the fox, who had just been subdued by Bill, was beaten by a carp, and ran as far away as he could after landing on all fours.
By the time Bill found out, the fox had already run more than ten meters.
As soon as the crossbow arrow in his hand was mounted on the arrow, the prey ran away without a trace.
"Ah――――――h
When Bill looked up and roared, he felt something pull on the corner of his long coat, and when he looked down, he realized that Kerr's frightened little face was pale.
Bill thought it was her screaming that scared her, but Kerr pointed her hand at her, and Bill realized that something worse had happened.
In the cave of the two twin boulders, a monster appeared at this time.
This monster looks like a big fat man, but it is covered with worm-like skin, white and fat, and there are layers of layers on his body, but his eyes are very scary, and his bare yellow little head is completely an enlarged version of the white worm, and the pair of eyes is a bulging compound eye of an insect.
"What kind of monster is this!" Bill hurriedly pulled Kerr back,
And this big fat flesh worm with white flowers noticed something, and in his breath, the fat all over his body trembled, and then he pounced on Bill.
"Rub-" Bill shoved Kerr behind him, and instantly drew his sword.
This big fleshy worm must have something to do with the dead old man, it must be a strange creature he raised, or an experimental product or something.
Bill didn't dare to be careless, and looked at the approaching monster with a sword.
With a sword, this big fat man is brain was cracked, and a large piece of white liquid erupted from his body.
"It's so 'juicy~"
The monster gestured with its hands in place for a while, struggling to survive, but without the head of the worm, its life could only end there.
"Disgusting!"
The unknown white liquid on the ground made Bill's stomach surge, and he didn't care what kind of monster it was, grabbed the stunned Kerr next to him and turned back.
After retreating more than ten meters, Bill looked back with a little reassurance.
The white and chubby body had fallen to the ground, and with the loss of vitality, the appearance of the creature contracted little by little, and the fat appearance shrank to a certain extent, and then became a darker color, and at the same time, its appearance seemed to have become a shell, getting harder and harder.
Wait, drive the shell!
Bill took a cool breath
Sure enough, from the edge of the hole in the body that was cut off by Bill, white worms more than a meter long crawled out, more than a dozen of them,
"It's disgusting!" Bill felt more and more uncomfortable in his stomach.
The insects crawling on the ground have no fixed direction, no order, their bodies shrink and stretch, and the speed of movement is not very slow, and in the direction of Bill's side, there are two such crawls.
The long worm of white velvet makes Bill creepy.
Because of the disgust, Bill didn't attack them with his sword, and Bill knew that it would definitely break and spill everywhere, maybe on himself again.
Seeing the approaching bugs, Bill picked up a nearby rock and smashed it hard.
The things that the little old man shed down could never be a good thing.
If these bugs really came from that body, Bill really needs to wipe them out!
Bill didn't know if it had anything to do with what the two were talking about 'ghostlust', he didn't understand, but he didn't have to figure everything out
The stone smashed on the body of the insect, and the body of the white insect was directly smashed out of a wound, and the organic liquid inside poured out one by one, until it was all drained, leaving only a thin layer of insect skin.
The rest of the bugs, Bill also strangled them all as if they were concocted,
Leaving the ground covered with white mutilation,
"I wonder what else is in that hole?"
Bill held his head, to be honest, he didn't want to go down and continue to investigate, he didn't know what the masked man saw inside, in case it was full of such white monsters, Bill would definitely vomit blood on the spot,
Leaving the ground in shambles, Bill looked up and looked at the remnant sun on the horizon.
"Is this a sad day?"
In the blue sky, the squirming Kuroshio in the northeast is still there.
But the feeling of uneasiness has dissipated.
"This must be some kind of bad omen, Kuroshio, the people of Debang should be able to see it, right? Someone should be investigating, right? ”
Bill looked far away, and the surrounding scenery was still a bare wilderness, and there seemed to be a small wooded area in the distance.
"No matter what happens, it's not something I can care about!" Bill's words are very wrong, in fact, the special operations vanguard he joined has the responsibility and obligation to protect this rune continent where humans gather, as long as he has his own subordination, he will definitely be involved in disputes, but he has just come to this world, although he knows many things, he has not yet understood it deeply.
Let's go to the grove over there, and maybe there's something to eat. The two of them haven't eaten yet! After Bill's toss, he realized that he had inadvertently consumed too much physical strength and was already croaking with hunger.
"Let's go over there!"
Bill pointed his hand and set off again with Kerr.
Kerr turned her head to look at the mess on the ground, then quickly followed Bill's footsteps.
When the two of them walked into this place, Bill realized that this place was somewhat familiar, and after walking a few more steps, Bill found the reason for familiarity, he pursed his lips, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Ke'er.
This is none other than the makeshift training base of the Special Operations Vanguard, a very secret building, a small tower built in the middle of the jungle, the kind that is difficult to find.
It was Corey who brought the sleeping Bill here, but was chased away by raiders like 'Kerr', and Bill hasn't been found since.
I didn't expect that by chance, I found this good place again, this temporary base, must have been a temporary refuge for these candidates, but unfortunately it was unfortunate that it was discovered.
There was a small source of water in the small forest, and Bill filled a pot full of it, and walked towards the familiar tower.
It's still the same old tower as before, except that it has been swept away once compared to the first time I first visited, and it's empty.
Bill stood at the foot of the tower, looked around carefully,
But apart from the familiar scene, nothing was found.
"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" Bill sighed, then smiled, and took the lead in walking into the base after a long absence.
The brown and yellow deep wooden floor, flowing with traces of long years, on which the original carved pattern of the flower exudes an ancient meaning in the dim light.
"Hey, remember what happened a month ago?" Bill pulled Kerr behind him and intimidated with a fake threat.
Of course, it is impossible for Keer not to know about this place.
At the beginning, it was she who led the people to hunt down the disabled Bill!
After a whoow yell, she looked at the indifferent Bill, and Kerr suddenly cowered and bowed down, and retreated little by little in the direction of the door.
"Your uncle! Can't you see it when I can't see it? Idiot! Bill's big hands grabbed Kerr's collar mercilessly, "Tonight, you give me a good introspection!" ”
Kerr seemed to sense that a catastrophe was coming, and her hands were beating desperately, trying to break free, but Bill's strength was surprisingly strong, and her body did not move, so she tied her hands and feet little by little with the hemp rope she carried, and then threw it into the corner like garbage.
"Ke'er, Ke'er-"
"Don't scream, if you scream again, you'll be shut up!"
Bill was also standing opposite Kerr, scaring her viciously.
Bill wondered if he would continue with his goal of sending Kerr back to his barbarian tribe if he had found the base by chance.
"Or? Put her under house arrest for another time? ”
Although this place to settle down is very good, if Bill is alone for a long time, Bill will inevitably be lonely in his heart, and he will never find a partner like Corey again.
Just when Bill was silently worried about tomorrow, above the roof of the building, a sharp arrow wearing iron rope suddenly struck.
Iron spikes, with the sound of chains clattering and stretching,
"Not good!" Bill let out a loud shout, leaning back with all his might,
'Bang-'
The cord pressed against Bill's shoulder, cutting through a layer of skin, and then sticking straight into the solid wooden floor, and suddenly there was the sound of the planks shattering layer by layer.
When Bill was shocked in his heart, he just tilted his head and saw the figure that had been silently hidden on the roof.
The figure descended, along the chains, and fell heavily on Bill's body.
"Corey?"
Bill only felt a chill in his chest, as if he had been pierced by some sharp object.
"Since you've brought a woman here, there's no need for a third person alive—"
Corey's voice changed so much that Bill was a little unsure of his identity, and he subconsciously widened his eyes at the once familiar face, but his mouth couldn't say a word.
When Corey pulled out the weapon in his hand, Bill saw the three long glittering willows, which were clutched in his hand.
It wasn't until Willow Nail pulled out Bill's body and rode on Bill's body that Corry, this timid guy didn't realize that something was wrong, the hidden killing weapon that would kill people, at this moment, there was no trace of blood in a strange way, his expression changed greatly, and in an instant, he pulled out a short blade the size of a thumb from under his ribs.
Bill clearly saw that this weapon was hidden in his flesh and skin!
In order to carry such a weapon secretly, Corey even disregarded the use of a sharp blade to change the structure of his skin, is this still the same cowardly Corey who runs away at the slightest hint of trouble?
When Corey's grim expression slammed the short blade between his fingers into Bill's chest again, Bill moved
