Chapter 197: The Price to Come
Xiao Lan and the others took the airship leisurely, and all the way they came and went was tourism, while Chu Xuan, who was following Immorton on the other side, was really uncomfortable.
They were swept away by the sandstorm for most of the day, and finally let go, but before they could take a break, they watched as Immorton turned into dust and swept away a girl, veiled like a traditional Arab woman, but her eyes were very watery, presumably a beautiful young girl.
The reason for which the High Priest did this was that everyone guessed the answer in an instant: to resurrect Ansuna, a living sacrifice was needed.
Franços seemed to think of something at this moment, if Amya was still in this team, would Immorton directly take this policewoman, who was also a virgin, as a sacrifice?
That seems to be inevitable.
After a while, he was afraid of the subsequent burst of rejoicing, and he suddenly realized that Xiao Lan seemed to have an inside story about taking away Amya.
In addition to the ostensible loss of key spiritual powers, is there a meaning to prevent her from being used as a living sacrifice?
François didn't know, and he wouldn't stop the quest, but at the moment he was in silent mourning for the sacrifice of another innocent man.
In the eyes of the city of Cairo, which was destroyed by nuclear bombs, and the girls who were taken to serve as living sacrifices, are lives equivalent to ordinary goods in the eyes of these big people?
As a human he couldn't recognize it in any way, but as a druid, he seemed to have come to understand the nature of the world.
The law of the jungle, the cruelty of simplicity, the true meaning of the way of nature.
But before he can become a full-fledged druid, he'll have to put up with it for a while.
Immorton didn't stop after picking that girl, and he really didn't stop when he was eager to resurrect his thousand-year-old love.
There was no doubt that they couldn't refuse, Chu Xuan and the others were rolled up again before they could breathe a sigh of relief, and then they started the road again with only a pause.
When they recovered from the whirlwind of being thrown straight out of the sand and dust, they were shocked to find that they had returned to the starting point from which they had left the day before.
The capital of the dead, Hamnata.
"We're back......"
muttered such a sentence. Chu Xuan didn't know what he was thinking about.
Ansuna is undoubtedly about to be resurrected, and each of them will complete a side story quest of C, but there is no such thing in the world that it is obtained for no reason. What is the cost of the reward at this price?
They soon found out.
Immorton carried the veiled girl and entered the Hamna Tower directly through the main entrance, and Chu Xuan and the others followed suit, they must not leave until they get the reward of Ansuna's resurrection.
The High Priest had not taken any of the roads they had seen a day before. There was no mess of deadly mechanisms, no labyrinthine paths, he just touched some rune-engraved patterns in inconspicuous places, and a passage to the bottom appeared before their eyes.
It's no wonder that in the movie, it took O'Connor a long time for them to go down, but the villain Benny was able to quickly drag a pile of gold back and forth. It didn't take much time for Hamnata to escape when it self-destructed......
The reason for this is this shortcut to the point, Eve went down this passage once, so it was countless faster to escape than to come in.
And now, they can also enjoy the convenience of not having to step on traps everywhere like they did in the day.
However, that doesn't mean they can be so comfortable.
Halfway through, François, Richard, and Eurekas in the group stopped suddenly.
"Wait, something is wrong!"
Franços was a half-druid who sensed something in the air. Richard sensed something with the intuition of a sniper. And Eurekas used his nose to smell something that looked like a conspiracy...... Although he has not transformed into a werewolf, he also has a sense of hearing and smell beyond ordinary people in his humanoid state.
And the three of them all made this move in unison, so there is no doubt that something really happened.
"Get down, it's dangerous......!"
It was a little late, but barely in time.
As soon as the words fell, they themselves were the first to lean to the ground. At the same time, they instinctively pulled out a weapon that they hadn't used for a while, and Chu Xuan, who was a little slower, did the same.
And then the moment. They knew what was going on.
From the passage behind him and on both sides, several black shadows swooped out. The non-reflective black gun in his hand spat out a bright red tongue of fire in an instant.
And under the reflection of this muzzle flame, they immediately realized the identity of the raider.
Dressed in black, he looks like a rough face that has been weathered by wind and sand, and a scimitar with a unique shape around his waist......
"Pharaoh's Guardian! How could they be here! ”
I don't know who made such an exclamation, but the sound was immediately drowned out by the roar of bullets.
Although the surprise attack of the guardians was called broken, the effect had almost been achieved, although Chu Xuan and they fell down sooner or later to avoid it, but without cover, they were completely passive when they were raided.
The power of pistols at the beginning of the twentieth century is really not very good, but that refers to a comprehensive evaluation that includes bullet capacity, penetration, stopping force, stability, etc., the M1911 of this era still has a market even after the millennium, and even if the power is directly discussed, the small revolver of fifty years in the morning can kill people, and they will definitely not continue to jump alive if they are shot without a superhuman system, and this group of guardians is not only holding a pistol, one of them is holding a heavy machine gun that was removed from an unknown plane!
Just a face, Chu Xuan, who was a beat slower, was swept in the chest with a clean shot, this three-free man suddenly snorted and fell to the ground, Dechai, a Muay Thai fighter who only fights in the ring and does not fight to the death, was also a beat slower, and was directly shot several times more tragically than Chu Xuan, but he was tough enough to break out in time and tense the muscles of his whole body, so that those bullets did not directly drill into the soft internal organs of the vital point, and fortunately, it was not a heavy machine gun that hit him...... In that case, as long as he was no harder than five centimeters of steel, he would have to go to the Buddha.
However, the beating only ended at this time, and the counterattack of the demon team came after an instant, and it reversed back in an instant with a thousandfold momentum!
Luckily avoiding a wave of bullets, Richard directly pulled out the UMP submachine gun with unlimited bullets on his body, and suppressed it with a powerful firepower close to everyone on the attacking side - the nine-mm pistol bullet was not as powerful as the machine gun, but with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute and unlimited ammunition without reloading, the Guardians' old-fashioned machine guns and pistols were thrown out of ten streets.
Franthos didn't do much as a druid, but being able to get uninjured in the first wave of attacks was one of his abilities, and he also took a rifle given by Chu Xuan in time to suppress the fire, and with his strengthened nerve reaction ability, his reinforcements did quite well.
And Eurekas finally got a chance to play here, although he fell down in time, he still received a shot in the shoulder, but the pain in his heart did not make him fall, but aroused the ferocity buried deep in his blood.
In a beastly howl, the shape of his limbs gradually changed to claws similar to those of a hungry wolf, the upper and lower jaws protruded forward into a beast-like sharp snout, the half-moon-shaped mouth that cracked to the ears exposed rows of sharp teeth, and the muscles that swelled up like balloons burst through the restrained clothes, and the whole body of ** was quickly covered with thick black hair like steel needles...... Bitten in the world of legends of the night, he inherited the werewolf bloodline, and he no longer suppressed the bloodthirsty impulse in his body at this moment!
It was only at this time that the unconscious Immorton finally reacted.
It's just that there's nothing to do with him anymore......
If Richard's submachine gun made the Guardians feel bad, then Eurekas's roar made them feel hopeless.
The pistol bullets could only scorch slightly on the thick black hair, and the machine gun bullets tore through the skin and burrowed into the muscles and even more soft internal organs, but the werewolf's strong recovery power was enough to make these non-fatal wounds heal quickly, and it was impossible for the black beast to return to its strongest form to let them strafe without fighting back.
Driven by a combination of bloodthirsty instinct and residual reason, he found the right target in the first place, and with the sturdy recurved hind limbs violently rebounding, he rushed into the line of men in black who were raining bullets at him in a single step.
And then, there was the massacre that belonged to him alone, to be exact...... It was the beginning of a carnival feast of flesh and blood.
The hideous nails on the sharp wolf claws flashed with a sharp cold light, which was much stronger and sharper than the daggers forged by modern fine technology, and the flesh and blood of the pharaoh guardians without armor could not resist the slightest at all, and the huge power between the werewolves' limbs made people fly away like a kite with a broken line just by simply swinging their claws, and at the same time, the claws had already disemboweled them at the moment of contact, and the hot internal organs in the chest were accompanied by blood and instantly dyed the dry sand into a blood-red patch!
And looking at the madness of this black beast, all the sounds stopped for a while.
The air that had fallen silent before anyone knew it was the sound of heavy breathing, the snorting of tearing muscles, and the clatter of broken bones......
The werewolf who had completed the killing did not stop there, but directly pulled over the still hot body, and replenished the physical strength consumed by the slaughter on the spot.
No one spoke, and no one breathed loudly.
Everyone was frightened by this bloody scene, and Richard and Franços subconsciously tightened the guns in their hands, for fear that this werewolf would attack them in a frenzy.
This guy has a criminal record, if it wasn't for the priest's action at the beginning, this wild wolf might have nibbled a few of them as lunch, and if they encountered this combat power directly, they wouldn't even have a chance to resist! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
