CHAPTER VI CHAPTER 72
Unhindered by the slightest, Gru leaped over the scattered yellow sand and chased towards High Priest Tima like a bolt of lightning in the form of a human. And the figure of the high priest of Tima was stunned, and he snorted miserably.
Just as he used his magic to fly back and turn around, High Priest Tima felt two strange tingles coming from his back.
The stinging pain was cold at first, then painful, and then numb, and a strange feeling of weakness began to spread from the stinging place to the whole body.
What made High Priest Tima lose control even more than this sting was the surprise and anger in his heart. He knew that the two sensations on his back were poison and curse, poison and curse unique to the Harpy Blade. The frenzied High Priest returned his hand and punched out.
Before he could pull out the two knives that had stabbed the High Priest's back, Basil Ray turned around with the agility of a fly at a very small angle in mid-air, and the High Priest's fist grazed his shoulder, bringing up a piece of flesh and blood, and the Harpy Shepherd let out a sharp and piercing scream from the sound of broken bones.
By this time Gru had already arrived, and this time instead of using his fist, he pinched his fingers, and his palms and fingertips slashed through the neck of High Priest Tima, and then stopped.
High Priest Tima was still retreating, but his steps had staggered, and his huge body had knocked down a shrub before he came to a halt against a tree. Bright red blood gushed out of his throat like a fountain of joy, and in an instant his body was completely soaked in red. The gurgling sound was indistinguishable from the wound in his mouth or from the wound in his throat. I don't know if it's his own voice or the sound of blood.
Those huge bull's eyes almost burst out of his body. It was full of anger, reluctance, disbelief, looking at Cedros, the man he called 'my friend'. He took a sudden breath. It was evident that he had used all the remaining strength in his body to suck this breath, and then his voice mixed in with the gurgling of his throat came out: "I asked Cedros to take you out of Negan at the cost of three magic dark crystals. That's what you think the price of the land is ......."
Gru was slightly stunned, and Cedros's face changed slightly. High Priest Tima's mouth was spurting blood bubbles, and the words were rushed out with the blood that overflowed into his throat. The High Priest gave a sinister smile spitting blood bubbles at the end, and finally, his massive body collapsed.
It turns out that I don't need to teach these things...... High Priest Tima took one last look at Basil Ray, who had fallen to the ground, and stared at the huge bull's eyes dead.
Gru stepped forward. Quietly looking at the corpse of the high priest on the ground, his black eyes returned to their original depth and ancient wells. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "Who made you make a move?" Basiler was originally holding his shoulder and moaning, but he stopped moaning when Gru asked, but the cold sweat on his head was still raining.
"I'm afraid that if Tima does run away, it won't be easy," it was Cedrus who spoke, and his face returned to calm, nodding to Basil Lei. "Well done, Ms. Rollerlei. You can rest assured, the Harpy clan will be a member of the Oufu Zhenpi in the future. You should know what's going on here today, right?"
"Yes, of course I do. Several Templars of the Filial Piety Society infiltrated the area. High Priest Tima was killed during the battle, and we killed a Templar. Basillei nodded repeatedly.
Cedros smiled and nodded. "Well, then please tell your people about this, and when the Minotaurs arrive here, I will also trouble you to appease them. I will try my best to cooperate and let the minotaur accept your leadership. Now let's go and deal with the injury. ”
Basiler then walked over and took out his two nines from the body of High Priest Tima, and she was not even interested in looking at this former ally who had become a corpse. Indeed, as the Tima Priest herself knew, she was not an answer, she knew that she was just a vassal in the eyes of the Minotaurs, just a card. In Negan's time, there was no choice, and it was also because there had never been such habits and thoughts.
Indeed, as High Priest Tima thought, these things only need to be touched by a small touch. It's just that he didn't expect that the first person to go to the point was the one sent by Cedros. And one is weak and needs support. The Harpy Chieftain, whose mind and scheming are relatively not so deep, are obviously much easier to control and manipulate than the powerful and ambitious High Priest Tima.
Basil Ray flew crookedly and went wrong. Gru and Cedros were left, and on the ground were the Minotaur High Priest and the corpse of the Radiant Armor.
"Is what he said true?" Gru asked lightly, looking at the corpse of High Priest Tima.
Cedros let out a long sigh and said, "Yes." ”
"Oh? Gru smiled slightly, and this smile was very funny. But it's a smile that is very incongruous with his face and temperament.
Cedrus didn't speak, and after a long while, he spoke, speaking slowly, his voice no longer full of spirit and vigor as before. "You've helped me so much over the years...... I said Oufu wasn't mine... But if it's me, half of it is yours.
Gru didn't speak, still keeping that strange smile on his face, still looking at the corpse of High Priest Tima. The Minotaur still had that hideous smile, as if he was laughing at someone, and the blood foam that had risen high above his mouth had attracted a swarm of flies in the swamp.
"Oufu can get this far, as long as it gets through one more hurdle and really succeeds. My greatest wish in life has been fulfilled, so you can take my half at any time......"
"Spread...... That's the word......" Gru still looked at Tima's corpse, as if he said something inexplicably
Cedelus shook his head and said, "I'm just entrusting it to you." I have a lot of friends, but I also have very few ...... There are so few that you're the only one. ”
"I said, I was just surprised. Gru said lightly. Turn around and walk out of the swamp.
Cedros let out a long sigh and turned away with his back. On the ground, flies were already burrowing into the nostrils and mouth of the high priest.
