Chapter 44: The Verge

Speaking of Bill, a good night's sleep made him energetic, refreshed early in the morning and breathed fresh air.

"Good morning, old man!"

Stretching his body vigorously in the sun, the strong tenacity between the muscles is not inferior to the terrifying strength of a beast.

LV: 6's physical fitness makes Bill almost three times the level of a normal person in terms of basic physique!

After a while, Bill paid attention to the old man's actions.

The old man was silently cooking rabbit meat in the small courtyard, a few small pieces of firewood were burning, and the old man was still looking down and fanning the breeze carefully.

The water is already boiling, and it seems that it won't take long to eat, and in the fresh air, there is already a little smell of meat.

"Hey-hee-" Bill laughed dryly, and leaned forward to look at the processed rabbit meat in the iron pot, and Bill was even more pleased.

"It's okay, it's much more elaborate than some people's eating methods!" Bill praised with satisfaction, some of the people in his mouth are naturally Corey who only eats and never cares about it, Corey's behavior of eating ants has left a very deep impression on Bill, but fortunately this old man is a normal person.

"You should find a bowl" Bill struggled to inhale the smell of meat wafting through the air, and his appetite was aroused, and he ran back to the hut alone, rummaging on the ground.

Sure enough, Bill found two white ceramic bowls, woke up Kerr who was still sleeping, and pulled him out of the room.

"Old man, just give us two bowls of soup!"

Looking at the soup spoon on the side of the pot, Bill grabbed it in his hand first, and then squatted on the side with the white bowl and Kerr.

Didn't answer Bill's words, but it got Bill used to it.

After waiting for another two minutes, the soup was almost ready, and the old man sprinkled a little spice from the small bag on his body, and completed the best step.

However, without waiting for the soup spoon in Bill's hand to move, the old man's two pairs of dry palms picked up the iron pot without fear of burns, and then he took two steps into the grass hut.

Bill's hand remained outstretched, and he blinked dryly and pursed his lips again

What just happened? Bill has the illusion of being slapped coldly, and he still can't fight back.

was still beside Kerr, and when she saw that Bill had become stupid, she carefully pushed Bill.

"Huh? It's okay, I'll find some more food! ”

Bill had a bitter face, and hated this hateful little old man in his heart.

Kerr seemed to understand Bill's words, she nodded meekly, and then sat on the ground and watched.

"I'm a little thirsty, where is the water?" Bill was thirsty last night, this hunger and thirst all night, the broth has not yet been drunk, and Bill is so depressed and depressed now.

But there seems to be no water in the well?

"Alas, bad luck!" Bill sulked, took two steps, reached the well, vented his foot, kicked the manhole cover halfway,

The swarthy well, for some reason, made Bill shiver directly in his heart, he stood in place for a second, then leaned down and put his head on the small well.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, Bill's soul flew out of the clouds, and the whole person seemed to be shocked by thunder, and he was stunned on the spot.

There should be nothing to be seen in the dark well without a trace of light!

However, there are still some people whose vision can pass through the darkness, and unfortunately, Bill has just mastered the power of dark arts, and he can see through the darkness in this well, and he can see through the darkness of the well, and he can see through it.

It was this incredible magical ability that allowed Bill to see something he shouldn't see.

With a trembling heart, Bill almost fell headlong into the well.

Fortunately, his legs weakened, so that Bill's center of gravity dropped, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Bill's face turned a little pale, and with a quick wave of his hand, he covered the open manhole cover, and then hurriedly looked back, fortunately, the little old man didn't seem to notice the movement.

Swallowing his saliva, Bill suddenly thought of the little old man's unexpected obstruction last night, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart at the moment.

Under the sound of heavy breathing, Bill suppressed the shock in his mind, took two steps back, and pulled the figure of Kerr on the ground up.

seemed to feel Bill's uneasiness, Kerr honestly didn't say a word, but his big eyes blinked, and he looked at Bill's actions in confusion.

"Wait for me! I'm going to get our bags! ”

Running into the hut again, Bill forced himself to forget what he had seen.

His bag was pressed against the place where he slept last night, and Bill picked up the package and turned around to leave, when he heard the little old man's jerky tone.

"Drink?"

The two words made the nervous Bill have auditory hallucinations, and there were heavy echoes, which made him a little in a trance.

"Humph!" Bill didn't answer, snorted angrily, and walked out of the hut with the package.

As soon as he stepped out of the hut, Bill sensed that something was wrong, and his heart was clouded with a deep sense of unease.

Quickly stepped forward and pulled Ke'er's body.

I ran a few quick steps.

And at this moment, a clear blue ice layer flashed in the sky, and a light blue light blade was cut down without any struggle, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the size of a zhang, and the target was the small thatched house.

The airflow was frozen instantly, and at such a critical juncture, Bill directly discarded his bags, didn't look at the movement behind him, stopped his waist and picked up Kerr's body, and then jumped over, a cold touch slipped behind him, and Bill jumped out of the wooden fence.

The physique of the dark marrow made Bill lose his obvious perception of temperature, but he didn't know where this cold feeling came from?

Beyond the railing, Bill still ran wildly without looking back, and he could already feel that the person in his arms had been shivering from the cold.

And this sudden attack behind it is completely a catastrophe from heaven.

It didn't seem like the little old man was doing it, because the target of the attack wasn't Bill, it looked like it was definitely the little old man in the house.

It turned out that the small courtyard was completely clean, and the ground had been covered with a layer of faint blue frost, which was magical, and the small thatched house had been torn apart under the attack of this blade, and the dander was flying, but these scattered objects were all wrapped in a layer of crystal frost by the cold, and the chill in the air was even more piercing under the frost in the sky.

When the hoarfrost cleared, a figure appeared in the hut.

No, it's two!

One of the figures was naturally a little old man who ran to the inner room to eat broth, while the other figure, to be precise, was lying on the ground, and it was a human with blurred facial features, with cysts and traces of corrosion everywhere, but it was strange that it did not exude a little unpleasant smell.

If you have taken a magic course, you must know that this is the black magic known as the forbidden art, and the rotting corpse lying on the ground is an extremely evil spell in the dark arts.

After a day here, Bill didn't notice that there was a ghost creature like this lying on the ground, and it was ridiculous that he still thought that the scenery here was good, the air was clear, and he was full of joy and enjoyment of life.

Had it not been for the incredible sight in the well, Bill would never have noticed, or that he had drunk the old man's rabbit soup and might well have become a test for the evil wizard.

The little old man was also caught off guard by this frost slash, but above his head, there was already a layer of black light surrounding, blocking most of the frost power.

The little old man looked up in surprise, only to see a few meters high in the void, a blue pillar of light horizontally inserted, looking closely, it was actually a thin layer of light blue ice, a figure covered in purple veil, holding a snow-white strange blade standing on it, due to the ice block, it was difficult to see men and women in the haze.

The black light dissipated, and the little old man's eyes became cloudy in an instant, and the rotting corpse lying beside him slowly trembled his fingers, and then flipped up indifferently.

And in the sky, the figure pointed at the strange blade in his hand, and for a while, the cold light blue light was great, and the cold hit the world, and the ground in the small courtyard was covered with a thick layer of white frost, and everything began to become sluggish.

The carrion corpse is a typical example, the body with blurred facial features and controlled by magic, only walked slowly two steps on the ice, and was glued together by the frost under his feet, and he couldn't move an inch.

Bill ran a long way, and when he turned around, he saw the courtyard behind him that had changed dramatically in a few moments, and his heart was complicated.

"Fortunately, I didn't fall into the old man's trap, can there still be trust between these people? It's good I didn't drink the broth! ”

What Bill saw in the well was nothing else, it was a game of corpses, if it was a corpse alone, Bill would not be so panicked, mainly because there were more than ten of these corpses, and they were all thrown down head-to-head, stacked layer by layer, their degree of decay varied, the most critical Bill saw a woman on the top who had his eyes gouged out and was covered with a layer of dead gray, her expression was extremely painful and hideous, terrifying, and her limbs seemed to have been broken off by life, After falling into the well, his body was extremely twisted and almost unlikely, which was not much different from the ghost in the ghost movies Bill had seen, which made Bill unexpectedly frightened.

I don't know how many people who came here were brutally killed by this little old man!

Bill was sure that this old man was by no means a good man and a good human being, who lived in a stable and orderly city, how could he go to this wasteland to ask for hardship.

Looking down at Kerr in his arms, Bill found that her lips were blue and trembling when she had been frozen for just a few moments.

It was only then that Bill realized that something was wrong and realized what he had lost?

Despite his efforts to hold Kerr's body tightly, he still couldn't feel a trace of coldness.

"Alas, no wonder"

As Bill looked up, his gaze lengthened again.

The strange blade in the purple-clothed man's hand is very magical, like a knife not a knife, like a blade is not a blade, under the almost transparent luster, every time he wields, there will be a large area of cutting blades, which will make the little old man embarrassed, and can only be blocked by a layer of ink-colored protective light shield, and the next few consecutive slashes made the little old man directly spray a few mouthfuls of blood, and his spirit was sluggish.

Bill's pupils shrank, and in the darkness, the little old man's body seemed to evaporate, emitting black smoke that ordinary people couldn't see at all.

Before Bill could observe, there was an unexpected blur of air around him, and then a figure appeared out of thin air.

The white ghost mask caught his eye in an instant, and the bow horn on the side of the longbow drew a sharp arc from his shoulder.

Seeing Bill crouching on the ground and holding Kerr, the masked man stepped out slowly without looking back, and when he reappeared, he was already standing on the edge of the battlefield, on the edge of the spread of frost power.

Bill rubbed his eyes, feeling that this movement was completely beyond his logic, obviously walking slowly, but the location of another space was blurred, and then he ran so far in one fell swoop?

Bill wondered if the back he saw was an afterimage or an illusion.

Without waiting for Bill to think about such a question, the white ghost masked man unhurriedly took off the black bow nearly two meters long, and then slowly pulled it into a full moon, the taut bowstring contained terrifying power, and in the sound of air hissing, the two of them found the figure of the masked man together.

Silently, just like the arrow he had shot at Bill, only this time, it was the little old man who faced his arrow.

Bill was far away, and for the first time, he saw clearly that when this man shot an arrow, he did not need to use an arrow, and the arrow seemed to be invisible, or the eye could not distinguish it.

The screaming sound in the air passed through and it looked empty, and this feeling was terrifying!

The invisible attack made the little old man's black light curtain tremble, followed by an explosion.

The little old man was the second to comprehend the horror of this man.

The light effect of the explosion, no one could see what was going on behind it, except for Bill, who had the vision to pierce the darkness.

But when Bill saw it, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, because the figure of the little old man turned into nothingness directly in the wisps of smoke, and there was no trace of it.

"That's not right!"

Bill's brain suddenly flashed, and a piece of inherited essence was implanted in his brain, which was a magic handprint.

The stars flickered, and in Bill's eyes, there was suddenly an obscure and inexplicable magical power, shining in the light with the same brilliant invisible fluctuations, the real dark arts, absorbing the only seed energy in Bill's body, invisible fluctuations, as if passing through the void, the next moment, an elliptical virtual magic seal, appeared in Bill's field of vision.

With a finger, the Mark of Darkness was planted in a black smoke that Bill saw, and then dissipated in Bill's field of vision along with the smoke.

In Bill's heart, there is an obscure magical message, which is an expression of mana return.

The breath of the little old man produced a complete outline in his mind, and Bill could accurately determine his position in the unknown space.

'Dark Awakening Skill - Mark of Darkness: Plant seed energy in the chosen person's body, so that it can be permanently controlled in the palm of your hand! ’

At this moment, Bill looked at his hands in disbelief as if he had lost his breath.

Bill was still shocked by the skills he suddenly comprehended, and the two people on the battlefield also noticed the anomaly.

It's easy to see what they've discovered!

The air flow was chaotic, and in a blur, the figure of the Hundred Ghost Mask appeared in front of Bill like a ghost.

Before Bill could see clearly, he found himself being choked by a pair of mechanical hands.

Bill's eyes froze, and he glanced up coldly: "I thought we wouldn't meet again"

After running so far, Bill was unlucky enough to run into this monster again! It's so embarrassing!

In the next second, the creepy voice came from under the mask, and Bill let it be as if he had seen a real demon.

"It's not the breath of black magic"

The expression hidden under the mask seemed to be judging, and then slowly released the strength of his hand, his arm was not muscular, on the contrary, the appearance was similar to Bill's arm, but it was hard to imagine that the terrifying power of these arms after the explosion was clearly understood by Bill just now.

"That guy ran away!?"

Bill looked up and saw that an ice-blue canopy was spreading in this direction, and a cold female voice came from above, a voice that was high up and proud like a god, and although it was as pleasant as heaven, it was also as piercing as a needle.

"Fucking weirdos!" Bill cursed, then slowly turned his head with his arms around Kerr's body, completely unanswered.

Bill's voice is obviously uncomfortable to hear, the masked man is fine, like an ice cube without any reaction, but the purple-clothed slender figure in the sky is very unhappy.

Under the pink and white face shrouded in light veil, the willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with it, the cold air.

A layer of frost slowly rose under Bill's feet, and then slowly wrapped around Bill's feet and climbed up to his knees.

In an instant, Kerr in his arms trembled even more, and hugged Bill's body tightly.

Turning his head silently, Bill glared at the light curtain above.

Separated by a thin layer of ice, but his vision still passed through the barrier, saw the scene behind him, and also saw the beautiful face covered by the purple veil.

But when Bill turned his head, he couldn't see the figure of the white ghost mask anymore.

It may be that her beauty played a role, and Bill's vulgar words came to his lips and were derailed. "What do you mean?"

Fortunately, Bill's current body is already an energy creature and is not afraid of frost!

There was a slight pause before answering, and after the sound came out, the air around them returned to normal.

"He ran away!" The cold and arrogant voice made Bill very uncomfortable to listen to.

"Yes!"

"You were together before!"

"And then I almost died at his hands too."

"Don't believe it!"

Bill was speechless for a long time, this man's meaning, Bill understood very well, she suspected that she had something to do with the dry old man.

"Then you go and ask him"

"I think you're perfunctory to me" The ice curtain thinned a bit, and Bill could clearly see the strange transparent blade in her raised hand.

"Even if you don't deliberately melt a layer of blue ice, I can see your movements, there's no need to intimidate me" Bill watched all of the woman's movements, and of course saw that she had slightly dissolved a layer of ice in order to see the movement of the moving blade.

"If you don't believe me, I can tell you that you have a purple crystal pendant around your neck, and you can even ask you what the tattoo on your left shoulder is under your clothes."
