Chapter 33: Incident
Not to mention the excellent ability value of the second stay, not to mention the bloody big "E", in short, since then Zhou Yao has ushered in a new companion and a new family. With two heroic spirits guarding him, even Zhou Yao himself felt a little extravagant.
Compared to Sakiya, who has the advantage of mobility and assassination ability, the second stay is more suitable for charging in front of the battle, and the double-A attributes of tendon and agility can basically establish her supremacy in close combat. It would be perfect if there was another magician Heroic Spirit with long-range firepower, but unfortunately the unlocking conditions for the next Heroic Spirit are too harsh, and the number of 100,000 does not know which day it will be completed, and even if it is unlocked, it may not be Caster.
But the biggest luck for Zhou Yao is that District 11 is now in dire straits, with Dead Apostles and ghouls everywhere, providing an excellent opportunity to farm monsters.
Just now, when he checked the unlock progress, the number of completions was no longer "0" but became "3", presumably the share of the three Dead Apostles killed by Sakiya. This also convinced Zhou Yao that the scope of monsters was not limited to non-human creatures, the Dead Apostles could, and the Ghouls could too. Thinking that there were far more than 100,000 ghouls in the area of Yode City alone, Zhou Yao also had some more confidence in completing the unlocking conditions.
That's the way it goes...... Well, let's take our time, even if you don't have to go out of your way to do it, the prey will be delivered to the door.
Besides, the two heroic spirits summoned now are already conspicuous enough, if they are targeted by the Dead Apostles, it will be troublesome, and they are not worried, but Lei Ruxue is afraid of implicating Ruxue.
"Alright, now that the summoning is complete, let's go out."
Zhou Yao clapped his hands and said after attracting the attention of the three of them.
At this time, there was a sudden loud sound of the door closing in the direction of the front door, and then Uncle Lei's characteristic rough voice was heard.
"Ru Xue! Brat! Come here! ”
"What's the matter, uncle, in such a hurry?" Zhou Yao walked out of the room and happened to bump into Uncle Lei who was running over in a hurry, looking at the slight sweat and disordered and rapid breathing left on his face, it was obviously caused by a long time of running.
Zhou Yao remembered that he went to the branch of the association with Uncle Warrier, why did he suddenly run back again, and he was still in such a hurry?
"There's something going on outside, it's estimated that the sky is about to change in the city, you protect Xiaoxue, it's best not to go out......"
Uncle Lei's expression relaxed after seeing Zhou Yao and Lei Ruxue, and then said in an urgent tone. This made Zhou Yao realize that something big was about to happen.
Uncle Lei finished speaking in one breath, ignoring the few people who were stunned in place, turned around and ran back to the room to take out his pair of axes, and then rushed out the door.
"Wait! Uncle, I'll go too! ”
Seeing Uncle Lei hurrying back and forth, Zhou Yao felt that he couldn't just sit in the room and wait, so he immediately said out loud.
Immediately, Uncle Lei was furious and refused without hesitation.
"You come out, what should Xiaoxue do!"
If Lei Ruxue is left alone at home, if something happens, how will she deal with it as a girl, thinking of this, Uncle Lei's eyes are even rounder.
"Well, well, listen to me." Seeing Uncle Lei's eyes that wanted to eat people, Zhou Yao said unhurriedly.
Uncle Lei's expression eased a little, let's listen to what Zhou Yao would say.
"First of all, let me introduce you, this is the second Heroic Spirit I summoned, Honda Two." Zhou Yao turned sideways and showed the second dumb behind him.
Well, before he knew it, he had already taken the second dude as his official name, and he didn't even bother to call the second generation.
"The second ...... Heroic Spirit!? ”
Uncle Lei didn't realize until this time that there was actually an extra person in the room, and he was so anxious just now that he didn't notice it at all.
Hearing Zhou Yao's words, he looked at it for a while, in addition to being still a woman, this new heroic spirit was much more reliable than Sakuya in appearance, at least a typical martial artist's outfit, and the spear in his hand, which seemed to be not light. Therefore, Uncle Lei did not doubt the authenticity of Zhou Yao's words.
Indeed, if there was one more person, there would be more than enough strength to protect Lei Ruxue, but he suddenly thought of something, and said with a frown.
"Isn't it true that the Heroic Spirit can't get too far away from you?"
"You can rest assured that after testing, the Heroic Spirits I summoned can leave my side, at least the entire range of Yoder City is completely fine."
Zhou Yao would say that it was not that he hadn't thought about going out with him, when he went out of the city to get acquainted with Huo Dun before, he also tested whether the heroic spirits he summoned could stay away from his side, after all, as more and more heroic spirits were summoned in the future, it was impossible to accompany them. One or two is okay, six or seven, there will be a lot of inconvenience when you go out.
So taking this opportunity, he asked Sakiya to leave his side to see if anything unusual would happen. The result is gratifying, although as Sakuya leaves the field of vision, Zhou Yao can only vaguely sense her approximate direction, but this undoubtedly proves that Sakuya can indeed act alone.
Therefore, after summoning the second stay, Zhou Yao reassured that he planned to go out with Uncle Lei. He can take one with him and leave one for Lei Ruxue, so that he can have the best of both worlds.
"Really? If that's the case...... I agreed. ”
Uncle Lei hesitated for a moment, looked at the serious expression on Zhou Yao's face, and nodded.
Although he didn't know why Zhou Yao summoned another Heroic Spirit, for the current situation, it would be better for him to have a little more combat power. After all, the combat power of the Heroic Spirit is something that no one can ignore, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the highest combat power in Yoder City today.
"Well, then...... You stay with me, and you stay to protect Ru Xue in the night, and you have no opinion on these decisions. ”
After a brief consideration, Zhou Yao decided to take Er Yu to act together, on the one hand, because Sakuya and Lei Ruxue were more familiar, and on the other hand, because he needed to know the combat power of Er Stay with his own eyes.
For his words, Sakuya and Eryu accepted it without any hesitation, and Lei Ruxue on the side also understood that she couldn't make trouble for Zhou Yao and Uncle Lei, so she chose to acquiesce.
So, Zhou Yao took the second stay to follow Uncle Lei to the direction of the association, and in the process of advancing, Zhou Yao also learned what happened to Uncle Lei.
It turned out that after Uncle Lei and Uncle Warrill returned to the association, they were summoned by the city lord to the city lord's mansion to attend an emergency meeting, but the two didn't expect that the emergency meeting was just a pretense, and when the participants arrived, the city lord did not show up for a long time, but a person named Aode? Polzac's man burst into the conference room.
With the appearance of Odeh, the people present learned a shocking secret, the entire Eleventh District was planned by one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, all in order to establish an empire that belonged only to the Dead Apostles, so there was no need for human existence.
After that, Odd did not say anything more, but gave an order, called many dead apostles, and began to besiege the participants.
In the midst of the fight, Uncle Lei seized the gap and escaped from the City Lord's Mansion with Warrier.
The two of them returned to the association first, but they didn't want the association to be surrounded by the city guards, looking at the red light in the eyes of the soldiers, as well as the distorted faces, they were obviously controlled and turned into puppets.
After they surrounded the association, they began to destroy the association and the area where it was located, not only the magicians of the branch, but also the ordinary people in the vicinity were implicated and killed.
Seeing that the chaos was about to expand further, Uncle Lei rushed back to his home because he was worried, and then there was something Zhou Yao saw.
As they spoke, Uncle Lei and Zhou Yao saw the figure of the association building, and the scene was already chaotic at this time, and the city guards with weapons killed people when they saw them, and there were blood and tears everywhere.
Fortunately, there are still magicians from the association fighting, and they can easily defeat the city guards who can only use cold weapons through magic, even if the opponent has a great advantage in numbers, it is only a matter of time.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the nightmare had just begun, and Zhou Yao saw with his own eyes that the abdomen of a fallen city guard swelled into a bulge, and then slowly moved upward, and finally reached the throat.
The next moment, his mouth was stretched wide open, and a swarm of insects the size of a fingernail flew out of it.
Not only this one, but the corpses of the nearby city guards showed the same reaction one after another, and soon a large swarm of insects entrenched in the air, most of which were wasps, but also insects such as mosquitoes and flies.
"Are these...... Dead Apostle creatures!? ”
Zhou Yao looked at the spread of insects, and felt bad for a while, he thought of the creature named "Death Lizard" he encountered when he was in the county town, and deeply suspected that the two had the same purpose, that is, to infect ghouls!
This creature also appeared in the original work, and it seems to be an envoy named Deathpostor, and the exorcist is also called Odeh.
"Very likely!" Uncle Lei's face turned gloomy, and he shook his hand and fired a flash of lightning, turning the two wasps that rushed towards him into charcoal ashes.
The other magicians were unlucky, carelessly bitten by insects one after another, and soon became one of the ghouls.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Lei's face became even more ugly, and the thunder and lightning flashed on the axe stick, and he was about to launch a cleanup of the insects.
Zhou Yao was one step ahead of him and launched a blow against the insects flying in the air.
"Fire escape—ashes burn!"
Zhou Yao took a deep breath and filled it to the brim and spit it out, the difference was that he inhaled air, but what he spit out was a scorching hot cloud of soot. In the blink of an eye, the nearby sky was enveloped, and most of the insects were swallowed by the cloud of soot, but a few escaped and flew into the distance.
Immediately after, Zhou Yao bit off the cigarette ribbon in his mouth, and a faint spark lit up like an arvernet that ignited explosives. In an instant, the cloud of soot turned into flames and poured down, and the scene was like a grand firework in full bloom.
