Carmen Alicia and the others walked out of the dungeon, and Misty followed Alicia and them to a larger room, where they found a corpse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tully was afraid that the corpse was a mad corpse, so he, Jordan, and Miria went up to inspect it themselves, and when the three of them approached, they found that the corpse was completely dead, and that he had indeed been a mad corpse, but had been killed again.
Although the appearance of this corpse has been transformed into a mad corpse, it can still be recognized that he was once a winged man, but he only has the roots of his wings, and he has no complete wings, so this is a winged man, and everyone guesses that this person should be the winged man of the Laziz team.
Next to this corpse, there is also a short limb, this should be Wesker's short limb, it seems that Wesker was fighting this mad corpse before, and in the end, although Wesker defeated the mad corpse, he was also scarred, and finally died in the ruins of this Karahil (Goddess of Light) temple.
Jotun searched the corpse's body, and he wanted to find any clues, and in the corpse's clothes, Jotun found a note with a passage written to him by someone else:
"Oh, Stephen, thank you for what you said to me, I'm very touched, when our mission is successfully completed, I will choose to marry you, and then we will leave Laziz's team and live some of the life we want. Love you Penny. ”
Alicia and the others were silent, this person seems to be the Stephen who was taken away that Jana once mentioned, judging from the note records, this winged man Stephen seems to be planning to wait for the end of this mission to marry the human woman named Penny in the same team, but unfortunately none of this can be realized.
"We must put an end to this evil!" Veronica said through gritted teeth. Everyone agreed with Veronica's words that such a tragedy could not be allowed to happen again.
At this point, Spencer Jessica began to worry about Terry, after all, there were so many wild corpses outside, and he didn't know if Terry and Joseph would be able to escape there safely. Jessica bit her fingers unconsciously and was stunned, Terry has always been a likable person, and Jessica had to admit at this time that she had a good impression of Terry.
"Don't worry, cows, Joseph and Terry will be fine. Jessica quickly turned her head to the side, Miria had already walked past her, and Jessica was still very grateful to Milia at this time, because this sentence brought her confidence.
Alicia once again used her elemental staff to burn Stephen's corpse, such a powerful mad corpse corpse, it is safer to burn it, everyone knows, so everyone is silent.
Alicia and her party continued to search the ruins of the temple of Karahil, and along the way, they also encountered some attacks by wild corpses, and everyone fought as they went, but they were always in danger, until they came to a large room, which seemed to be a large dining hall, and at this time, there was a person in this room, this person was slumped on one side, he was diagonally facing the main entrance of this room.
Alicia and the others stopped their steps, they looked at this person, and did not dare to make a sound easily, because they didn't know if this person was a crazy corpse, the scene was silent, and it was this person who was the first to make a sound.
"Someone...... Anyone......" The voice was made by a woman, her voice was weak, but at least it proved that she was not a mad corpse.
Despite this, Jotun and Miria approached the woman cautiously, and when they entered, they found that the woman's eyes were blind, and it looked like her eyes must have been pulled out by someone, which was really miserable.
"Are you Penny?"
Alicia also stepped forward at this time, she crouched down, looked at the woman's injuries, and hurried to call Veronica to see if she could still be cured, and Veronica rushed forward.
"Who are you, how do you know my name?"
The woman was apparently Penny of Laziz's squad, the one who had said she was going to marry Wingman Stephen. Although she has lost her eyes at this moment, and although she is now scarred, everyone can still see that she used to be a beautiful woman.
"We are the rangers of the Frontier Rangers, and when we went out on errands this time, we came to help when we learned what happened here. Alicia didn't want to deceive Penny, she didn't hide anything but her identity.
"Frontier Rangers...... Hehe, I've seen your recruitment flyers, and Stephen and I fantasized about going to the Free Frontier and joining your team......"
It can be heard from Penny's words that she is a very strong woman, but her words made Alicia and the others sad, Veronica also shook her head at Alicia, she was so badly injured, she was able to stand up until now, which is already a miracle in itself.
"Ranger, there's a storage room here that used to store food, and I locked up the necromantic Laziz there, can you kill him for me?"
"Laziz...... Your captain, we'll help you kill him. Alicia said softly, holding Penny's hand and encouraging her.
"It's not because of hatred, it's that I don't want him dead, his body still tainted by evil toxins, Rangers, go and purify him. Penny said resolutely, this is for her friends, this is what she hopes Alicia and the others can do for the sake of her friends.
"Don't worry!" unconsciously, Alicia, Milia, Jotun, Jessica, and Veronica, they actually agreed at the same time, Tali looked at all this, nodded slightly, for this, he would not make the opposite choice.
Penny smiled slightly, I really don't know if it was the last favor of the goddess of light, Karahil, who was able to meet the rangers of the Frontier Rangers here, in a desperate situation.
"It is often said that on the continent of Yarrow, the vast majority of adventurers will eventually die on the road of adventure, which is the glory of adventurers, but also the sorrow of adventurers...... I really got it......" Penny said this, suddenly pulling out the dagger from her waist and stabbing her in the heart.
"Oh!
Next to Penny, Veronica, who was looking for the potion, wanted to pounce to stop Penny, but he was pulled by Misty, and the others had no chance to react, the cold dagger sank into Penny's chest, and Penny gently closed her eyes and couldn't open them again.
Everyone was silent, they looked at Penny's corpse, this is the sorrow of the adventurer, Veronica was in great pain, he felt that he could have saved Penny, he wept, gritted his teeth, and cursed in his heart the Korrell believers who had invaded here.
"Why are you stopping me from saving her!" Veronica suddenly stood up, he grabbed Misty by the collar and yelled at her, if it wasn't for Misty just now, then Veronica did have a chance to stop Penny from killing herself.
"Can you save her? I can see her wounds, and she is dead. Misty smiled, she wasn't afraid of Veronica at all, because she was simply emotionless.
"It's different!" Veronica hissed.
"What's the difference? Damn people, she can't live, and even if she didn't have those fatal injuries, she wouldn't choose to live, stupid, don't you understand?" Misty taunted Veronica, her words were vicious, but not unreasonable, Veronica was silent, because he couldn't refute it at all.
"Misty is right, it's Penny's choice, and we can't change it. Alicia whispered, patting Veronica on the shoulder and comforting Veronica, who still couldn't hide her pain.
"Let's go! all we can do now is fulfill Penny's wish!" Miria said fiercely, gritting her teeth, she hated the filthy creatures here, these were sins that violated the way of balance, so she had to clear this place.
"yes, let's go, don't let Laziz's soul suffer. Jotun touched his weapon, and he knew that they had to kill Laziz, it was a duty of duty as a ranger, even if this was not the Free Frontier, but what they needed to do had never changed.
Alicia nodded to everyone, everyone was ready to fight, but in this battle, Tali forbade Alicia to participate in the battle, and fought with the mad corpse Laziz in the storage room, the fewer people the better, so in the end, it was decided that Alicia, Veronica, and Misty stayed here, while Tully, Milia, Jordan, and Jessica went to deal with the mad corpse Laziz.
Alicia wasn't actually satisfied with such a decision, but she told herself rationally that the battle partner chosen by Tali was the most sure lineup to deal with the mad corpse Laziz, so she didn't have any objections, after all, victory was the most important thing.
Tully gently opened the door to the pantry Penny had spoken of, and Jotun and Miria were the first to enter the pantry, followed by Tully and Jessica, and closed the door.
The storage room was not too large, many of the shelves and boxes had collapsed, and in the middle of the storage room, there was a man, the mad corpse Laziz, who stood up gently and began to scream after he smelled a creature entering the storage room.
"Whoosh!" Tully and Jessica stood in the two corners of the storage room, shooting arrows and crossbow arrows at Raziz the Corpse, both of which hit Raziz, Raziz the Corpse roared, he didn't know where to attack for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, he chose to pounce on Jessica's side.
Jessica didn't panic, she didn't flinch, she quickly got another crossbow bolt and shot at the mad corpse Laziz, but the crazy corpse Laziz ran and actually wiped his head to dodge the crossbow arrow, and he jumped high and pounced on Jessica.
"Die!" Suddenly, Miria, who had just not known where she was hiding, suddenly jumped down from above, perhaps just now Miria was staying on a high beam, jumped down from there, and with the help of force, Miria's scimitar stabbed into the back of the mad corpse Laziz.
Crazy Corpse Laziz didn't know the pain, he turned his hand and wanted to grab Milia, Milia pulled out her scimitar and jumped to the side flexibly, Crazy Corpse Raziz just wanted to rush towards Milia, but his hamstring was cut by Jotun's short sword, Jordan hit very hard, and cut off Madcorpse Raziz's hamstring with a single sword.
The mad corpse Laziz with a broken hamstring fell to the ground, and it seems that the tactics of Tali's quick attack still worked, and they couldn't give the mad corpse Laziz too many chances, so they struck first.
Tali raised his broadsword and stepped forward, he had to cut off the head of the mad corpse Laziz with a sword, and then burn it together with his body, when Tali just came to the front of the mad corpse Laziz, the mad corpse Laziz suddenly used his arm to force, jumped forward, opened his mouth and was about to bite Tali, Tali was startled, he hurriedly dodged, and spun and swung the broadsword, with the force of rotation, a sword cut off the head of the mad corpse Laziz.
Miria, Jordan and Jessica ran to Tully's side nervously and excitedly, Tully's dodge belt attack just now was so beautiful, this was someone else, it was likely to be bitten by the mad corpse, and the three of them immediately had more respect for Tully.
As for Tully, he had to smile bitterly, and now, he could only smile bitterly, he covered his neck with his hand, it was hot and wet, he looked at his palm, and sure enough, the blood on his hand, Milia, Jordan and Jessica all looked at Tully blankly, and they also found out, found the blood on Tully's hand, found Tully's neck......
"Hehe, that's terrible, that guy's teeth still seem to have scratched my neck......" Tully still smiled wryly, crazy corpse, I really don't know what Tully will look like when he turns into a mad corpse......
