Chapter 40: Tracking

Zhang Hong stared at the dead corpse on the ground, his face cloudy.

Cole crouched on the ground, rummaging through the body with a dagger.

"Alright, alright, stop looking at this disgusting thing. Zhang Hong turned his back and scanned the hall, but found no new clues, he asked, "If you are allowed to face this master, are you sure to win him?"

Cole shook his head and said, "There is no chance to face to face, if it is a sneak attack, it is difficult to say." No matter how strong people are, they have their own weaknesses, and it's up to us to find them. ”

"It's all nonsense. Zhang Hong paced back and forth a few steps, "Then if we bump into this guy, can we escape?"

"If I use the Swift Movement and your Wind Crawler Technique and start running wild as soon as I first see him, then I'm at least eighty percent sure. Cole said this, but he knew that he was talking about himself, Zhang Hong, and he wouldn't even have a chance.

"Eighty percent, eighty percent. Zhang Hong chattered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "It's done! Chase down, kill those two guys, and I'll add money to you!"

The two were about to go inside, when Zhang Hong suddenly asked, "You say, can Ji Yijun and the two of them deal with that master?"

"No way. "Coledao.

Zhang Hong sighed and said, "Let's go, be careful." ”

The two of them released their own magic, and the double magic blessed their bodies, and the wind was under their feet when they walked slowly, like a fast run. The two walked through the apse for a while and found six more bodies lying on the ground. Four of them fell to the ground, each with a huge crack in their backs, and their spines severed, as if they had been struck by a giant blade as they fled.

The other two were wounded on their chests, lying not far from the previous few people, their swords still in their hands, but they had been split in two.

Cole inspected the scene and said, "This is where the two groups of people who entered the temple met. The horse thieves should have arrived first, and on the way to explore the dungeon, they were raided by the masters who came from behind. The first four were hacked to death from behind before they could react, and the last two, presumably resisted reflexively, but they still didn't survive a single blow. Looking at the wound, it was a master of making a sword that struck, and his style was very domineering. ”

"How is it better than the one with the javelin in front?" Zhang Hong asked uneasily as he looked at the way and the way he came from vigilantly. It was as if someone would kill him at any moment.

"It's better to make the javelin more powerful, that person has at least reached the peak of the mid-level samurai, and has even broken through to the high rank. This swordsman is on the strong side, which means that he has not yet reached the level of controlling his power at will, and he is probably still in the middle level like me. Cole took a few steps forward, carefully watching the footprints at the fork in the road ahead, "Then the horse thieves began to flee, and they went their separate ways. But I'm guessing that the Orville and Awan you want to kill are going down this path. Awan is tall and has large footprints. Well, some of them are wounded. ”

"You say this, then this one. Let's keep up. Zhang Hong now hopes that the problem will be solved as soon as possible, and he can't wait to urge.

A few steps further, the corpse of a goblin was split in half and appeared on the road, the ground covered in blood and internal organs. Zhang Hong finally couldn't help it and spit it out.

"Unlucky goblins. The swordsman chased after him, and it should have been thrown as a weapon to stop the enemy. Cole pulls out his knife and tries to find the goblin's left ear, only to find that the left half of his head has been blasted to pieces. He had to cut off his right ear, and then said, "Zhang Hong, you have to help me prove that this right ear belongs to a goblin without a left ear, and it must be worth a silver gun coin." ”

When Zhang Hong heard this, he had to vomit again.

After walking for a while, and once again reaching a fork in the road, Cole looked at the ground and pondered for a while, saying, "It seems that the horse thieves divided their forces again, and let the two minions lure away the swordsman with blood, but the swordsman was not fooled." Awan and Orville are still on the right side. Then we have to be careful, if they win or lose, we risk running into them. ”

Cole took an arrow, placed it on the bowstring, and cautiously walked down the passage to the right.

Zhang Hong also pulled out a short wand, which he had borrowed from the Wild Mage for two jars of chocolate, which would make it easier for him to cast ice arrow magic. He sketched the magic pattern in his head several times before he could catch up with Cole's pace.

———————————————————————

Ye Zi and Ji Yijun finally came to a large hall, this hall is more grand than the entrance hall, the ceiling is a little unclear, two rows of columns are embedded in the wall, supporting the roof from the left and right sides, the room is still very simple, except for a stone platform more than three meters high in the middle, there is nothing.

Something seemed to be emitting a faint white light on the stone platform.

In front of the stone platform, a man wearing a silver-rimmed robe on a black background was standing with his hands behind his back. He had long black hair, was tall and thin, and although he was motionless there, he automatically became the center of attention in the room. Beside him, there was a scar-faced man in leather armor, standing with a long knife in his hand.

The black-robed man didn't do anything, but when Ye Zi looked at him, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart, and the instinct of her body told her that this person was very powerful and dangerous.

"That guy...... It seems to be even more difficult to deal with. Ji Yijun said in her ear.

Ye Zi knew that he was comparing Wu Xiao, a powerful warrior who could easily suppress the two of them.

"If, if things get worse in a while...... I'll pounce on the man in black. You must run away immediately. ”

"I ......"

"I brought you here, and I must be responsible. You have to run right away, do you understand?"

When Ye Zi and Ji Yijun walked to the stone platform under the leadership of Wu Xiao, the black-robed man turned around.

He has a pair of bright black eyes and looks very young, like a college student of the same age as Ji Yijun. However, when Ye Zi's eyes looked at him, he found that his eyes were like an abyss that could not be seen, and it seemed to have penetrated countless times.

Wu Xiao stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and reported, "High Priest, I have brought two people who claim to be able to hear the call of the artifact. ”

"I know it all, you're doing a great job. The black-robed young man's voice was a little hoarse, giving people a heavy and solemn feeling. He stared at Ye Zi for a while, and then said to the scarface beside him, "Path, they should be the people you mentioned, right?"

"Yes, High Priest. It's the people who came down from the sky, and they all had black hair and eyes. As he said this, Scar Paz involuntarily glanced at the young man's black hair.

"Yes, that's good. The young man kept nodding his head while staring at Ye Zi as if he was looking at something strange.

Ye Zi was very uncomfortable with him, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Ji Yijun scold: "What do you see? You guy, didn't anyone tell you that it was rude to stare at a girl?"

Scar Path and Wu Xiao both changed color when they heard Ji Yijun's tone, and both of them raised their weapons and aimed at Ji Yijun, as long as the high priest gave an order, let him move his head.

The high priest waved his hand at them and told them to step back. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Ji Yijun: "If there is a mystery that has not been solved for thousands of years, and you are suddenly about to find the answer, how will you behave? I think my appearance just now is already very subtle. ”

Ji Yijun raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't understand what you're saying." But since we have been brought here by you for some reason, you must give us an explanation. We're not here for you to see as a landscape. ”

The young man nodded and said, "My name is War Spirit, and I am one of the four high priests of the War God Temple, you must be very strange now, what is going on with all this today. Why are we here at the same time as you? Why do you hear the call, if I want to say it...... That's fate. A fate ordained by God. The cause of all this today has been buried in the years, but everything that will happen must be the result of some kind of pre-arrangement, and the torrent of time has washed by, and finally shows the fruits of this time. ”

Ji Yijun and Ye Zi glanced at each other, and both of them understood each other's eyes: What is he talking about?!

The battle spirit seemed to understand their doubts, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Zi and said, "It's too early to explain everything, my guess hasn't been verified yet." I only need you to do one thing. Then everybody can get the answer. ”

"Me?" Ye Zi wondered.

Ji Yijun stretched out his hand and stopped Ye Zi behind him and said, "If there is something, let me do it." ”

"You can't do this, I can't do it, only she can do it. Yes, as long as she's that person, she can do it. ”

"Who am I?"

"After doing this, you will naturally know. The Spirit turned out of the way, and behind him was a stone staircase leading up to a high platform, "What you have to do is simple, go up and take that spear. ”

Ye Zi and Ji Yijun looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was really a spear above the stone platform, hovering in mid-air more than a meter high and slowly sinking and floating, as if a branch was floating in the rippling water. The spear was snow-white, with a slender head like a willow leaf and a ring at the tail with a groove in the middle, as if something was missing. Under the light above, countless runes as fine as leaf veins appeared and disappeared around the body of the spear.

Ye Zi looked at the gun quietly, and a strong sense of intimacy came to her heart, as if this gun belonged to hers.

At this moment, Ji Yijun suddenly pulled out his legs and sprinted, rushing towards the high platform like a dexterous monkey. He made a small turn to the side, trying to avoid the interception of the war spirit. However, the war spirit saw all this, but it had no intention of stopping it.

Just as Ji Yijun was about to step on the first step, his figure froze, as if he had hit an invisible wall, and made a dull sound. Because he used too much force, his forehead and the bridge of his nose were suddenly drenched in blood, if he hadn't launched a fighting spirit to protect himself, this collision could have killed him.

Ji Yijun held his nose and slumped on the ground, seeing the war spirit looking at him and smiling: "I said, you can't do it, and I can't do it either." ”

And Ye Zi's thoughts seemed to have flown somewhere, and he didn't react to what happened to Ji Yijun. She looked at herself and walked towards the high platform with a glazed gaze.
