Chapter 16: The Demon Flame
"Good, good, I'll tear your mouth apart and let you die in endless pain!!"
Jeffrey takes on this mission to avenge his brother, and is provoked by Hulk's words, and the hatred hidden in his heart explodes. The amber vertical pupils were fiercely triumphant, and the snake's body swung quickly from side to side, sliding off the rock.
"Ding"
Hulk lifted the axe and slashed at Jeffrey's body with lightning speed, blades and scales intertwined in a sound like a clash of iron.
The body structure of the Australian worm snake is special, and through the wriggling of muscles, it can remove more than half of the power transmitted to the scales, and its defense power is very amazing.
When Jeffrey was attacked, not only was he not injured, but instead slipped around the handle of the axe.
Seeing this, Hulk immediately dropped the great axe and slashed it at Jeffrey with his black-haired palm.
"Bang"
The ground beneath Jeffrey cracked, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the body of the Worm Snake could not withstand the waves of shocks.
At this time, Amanda Scarface also joined the battle, and the surrounding Ottoman soldiers gathered more and more, and they quickly consumed Hulk's stamina.
The two sides fought fiercely at the bottom of the cliff, and Isaac on the cliff was very tired because he had released too much fireball technique, and his mental strength was a little overdrawn.
During the fierce battle, Hulk's head was hit by fireballs, and there were multiple snake bite marks on his body, and he gradually lost his strength under the siege, and his red blood completely covered his black hair, turning him into a blood bear.
He looked in Kevin's direction, and he couldn't tell that there was a smile on the face of the humanoid.
"It turns out... Hulk understood what I was thinking. Kevin suddenly understood.
Now that the people of the Ottoman Empire are gathered together, it is the best time to use the bloodline props, and this opportunity is the Hulk fought with his life, and it is fleeting.
He no longer hesitated, placing his skull in the palm of his hand and aiming it in the direction of the battlefield, his cross sword slicing his wrist and dripping blood on his skull.
As soon as the blood touched the skull, the blood that originally dripped first flowed down in a thread, and then it was like a flood that could not be stopped.
And the skull is like an invincible hole, absorbing all the blood.
Kevin's face was white without a trace of blood, and with a buzz, he felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if someone had torn it in half.
His pupils gradually dilated, blood and tears oozed from his eyes, his vision was blurred, his consciousness disappeared completely, and he fell directly to the ground.
Randall buried Kevin and several other survivors' bodies in rocks, and then hid himself in a pile of rocks.
"Ahh
The skull seemed to have absorbed enough energy, two red dots appeared in the hollow eye sockets, the jaws were wide open, and a large amount of white steam gushed out, floating in the air without anyone controlling it.
A transparent wave swept through the canyon, and Isaac, who was resting on the cliff, suddenly changed his face.
"How can there be a fire elemental breath?" he poked his head out of the rocks and looked at the canyon below.
The skull emitted a dazzling red glow, and a huge canine phantom actually appeared behind it.
The Phantom has two fire-breathing heads, a dog covered in black smoke, and a tail of a moving snake that looks like it has just returned from hell.
"How is this a high-level bloodline item?" Isaac dropped his staff and rolled straight down the back slope with his legs limp.
Everything in the canyon was frozen, and the sound of the wind, insects, and shouts of killing was all gone.
The red rays became more and more dazzling, obscuring the sun's brilliance.
"Boom"
A terrifying black flame emanated from the mouth of the skull, and the sea of fire obscured the sky and the sun, as if it was about to melt the entire canyon.
The flames rushed towards the mountain, and the gold, stone, and earth along the way were instantly incinerated by the high temperature, leaving no trace.
Hulk, Jeffrey, Amanda, and all the Ottoman soldiers, before they even let out a scream, turned to ashes with their armor.
"No!"
Isaac, who had already run ten meters away, turned into nothingness the moment the flames hit the mountain.
After a long time, the flames dissipated, and there was a dead silence in the canyon, and the mountain on the right side was melted into a large hole several meters deep.
Randall pushed the pile of rocks above him away and stood up. Because the power of the flames was concentrated on the right side, and he had the cover of the stone pile, he was not scorched to death by the heat.
......
On a high mountain in the Cold Mountain Gorge, Alfred muttered to himself as he watched Randall find the survivors.
"The strength of Lord Angus is truly astonishing. You say yes, right?"
The black cat in Alfred's arms looked into the canyon and meowed, but soon lost interest and closed its eyes and went back to sleep.
......
Twenty days later, in the city of Nigal, a mansion in the wealthy district.
The breeze blows through the flowers and plants on the ground, and the warm sunlight pours into the courtyard. Kevin in the yard was doing some restorative exercises, his body gilded by the sun.
After the trip to the Cold Mountain Canyon, only five people survived in the end.
In addition to Kevin and Randall, Skinny Monkey and a soldier named Tim survived, as well as Esther. It is worth mentioning that Esther was stunned by a boulder in the carriage at first, but miraculously survived in the end.
The four men took turns to resist the unconscious Kevin, and made their way through the cold mountains, but fortunately they encountered no other dangers on the way, and managed to reach the city of Nigal, where they settled in the Norton family's mansion.
Due to the excessive amount of life force extracted when using the bloodline props, Kevin lay in bed for six or seven days before waking up, and when he woke up, he was still unable to walk freely, and his whole body was damaged to varying degrees.
Although Kevin has done a lot of training in the past ten days, his body still shows no signs of improvement, and his physical fitness is now less than half of his heyday.
According to the Kingdom's investigation, the reason for the attack was that the Ottomans wanted to capture Kevin alive in order to blackmail Angus into abandoning the defense of the city of Limogen.
Being able to hide an army of hundreds of people in the hinterland of the kingdom, the Ottoman Empire has definitely been planning for a long time, and someone must be secretly helping them.
The object of Kevin's suspicion is Alfred, and if the Scimitar Battalion is going to the Cold Mountain Canyon from Ron Town, Alfred will definitely be detected, but he has no evidence to directly prove this.
After the failure of the operation, the Kingdom of Turin and the Ottoman Empire had officially gone to war.
In response to the offensive, the king of Turin immediately issued an order of assistance, ordering the various lords to send soldiers to reinforce Angus, but few lords sent soldiers within twenty days.
At this time, the flaws in the political system of the Kingdom of Turin were manifested, and the power of the lords was too great, and the central government was unable to quickly assemble troops.
Angus was trapped in the quagmire of war and never came to see Kevin.
