Chapter 414: Trap Siege
Edward didn't want to escape, but it was too much of a loss to fight that kind of monster in the processing room, not only could that monster jump up and down and walk between the walls and roof beams, but there was only a magic crystal lamp with a little light in the processing room, and the dark environment allowed the other party to sneak up on him and Al with impunity. If you want to say that, the processing room is almost becoming a monster's lair, even if you can get away with defeating that monster, who knows if there will be a second and third batch of female cultists next!
Gotta get out of there first in the redo plan!
Pulling Al out of the lumberyard, at the door, Edward gritted his teeth and clasped his hands, and the huge earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the monster female cultist who was chasing fiercely, blocking the other party's path, listening to the sharp roar behind the earthen wall and the wall that began to shake, Edward knew that this would not last long, and just turned to pull Al to run, Edward gasped.
It's not that there are enemies, but now that the sun has completely set, the surroundings are completely dark, and Cheng Dù, who is completely out of sight, is like the only lighthouse in the black ocean, built deep in the road.
At this time, it is not clear whether it is the right choice to run into this darkness Edward himself, but at least Edward understands that if he continues to stay in the lumber yard and let the other party attack him with the advantage of the location, then he and Al will really have to die.
"Al~ run to the open as much as possible. ”
Looking at the darkness all around, Edward could only determine the location from memory, and if he accidentally ran into the woods, he was afraid that it would make it easier for the other party to hunt him.
"Go this way, brother!" Alphonse grabbed Edward by the arm and ran quickly.
"Do you see the way clearly? Al!"
Alphonse nodded, and the way he saw without his body seemed to be different, and it seemed as bright as daytime at all times. The only thing that makes people a little unbearable is that sometimes I can't close my eyes and be quiet in the dark for a while, because there are no eyes to close myself.
The two brothers had just disappeared into the darkness. The female cultist who had turned into a monster also destroyed the earthen wall and rushed into the darkness, only the last woman looked at this qiē with a gloomy face.
Human Lion!!
It is a half-human, half-demonic monster transformed by a ritual transformation by a loyal believer who serves its master, and is powerful and dangerous in melee combat, while being able to use a variety of illusion abilities. The human lion with dark vision is the deadliest hunter in the dark. The two invaders ran into the darkness in a panic, thinking that they could escape death, and that was a big mistake!
The female cultist did not have any doubts about whether the two invaders could be eliminated by the power of the human lion, but the believer's transformation into a human lion would consume the power of the abyss stored in the altar. If you don't solve the abyssal power that the enemy has lost, it will lower the evaluation of the priest Charlotto in the order, and the punishment of the priest will also come to him.
Alphonse, who was carrying Edward, ran very quickly, but the strange roar behind him, which even overwhelmed the wind, reminded the two brothers that the most terrible monster was in pursuit.
"Al~How's the bad situation around here?" Edward, who was caught by Alphonse's arm, didn't have time to complain about anything, and in the dark environment, Edward could only understand the situation through Guò Al.
"It's all open space┉┉"
"Is the ground dirt?"
"I guess so. Alphonse felt the ground under his feet as he ran: "But it's very hard to freeze, and there is something like frozen ground." ”
Edward was silent for a moment, and when the roar behind him came again, Edward raised his head and said to his brother who was running between him, "I have a plan┉┉"
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
Relying on his night vision and strong sense of smell, the human lion quickly found the scent left by the two brothers, or to be honest, only Edward's, and Alphonse, who had been armored as his body, had no trace of what the living could leave behind. This makes it impossible for the human lion, who is good at hunting enemies, to find Alphonse accurately.
Running towards the open area, the two intruders must also have some kind of night vision, otherwise it would be impossible to see in this pitch black environment, if they lit the lamp, it would be like a human lion to direct the direction of their attack.
The half-human, half-lion form makes the human lion run quickly, and soon the human lion noticed the little boy who was quietly lying on the ground not far away, he actually disguised himself in the snow to try to escape the pursuit of his naked eye, and the funny thing is that this little guy actually dug a big hole in front of the ground, it's a pity that if it was someone else, maybe one would accidentally drop it in this dark night. However, the human lion, who has night vision, can clearly see the holes in the ground, and his sense of smell can easily judge the location of his ambush.
I have to say it's really a big pothole. How did he dig it out without any tools! Probably related to the strange ability he possesses, that ability seems to be able to change the structure and form of matter at will, which is very magical
It's a pity that there is no extra time to study his abilities!
The human lion sped up again, but suddenly the human lion found that the other armored warrior was nowhere to be seen, and the other party had no breath to track, so that the human lion didn't know if the other party was also ambushed or parted ways, if it was a parting of ways, it would be troublesome. If he is allowed to run to the Holy See or the Holy Capital, the entire altar will not be saved. If that's the case, then the only way to do that is to catch the little boy and torture him first.
As for the ambush ┉┉ The human lion has also been considered, but in terms of physique, it has transformed into a half-demon human lion, and the crazy and brutal side of the demon has overwhelmed reason. Even if the other party has an ambush, the human lion believes that he has his own strength, and he can tear the two apart effortlessly.
Thinking of this, the human lion had already jumped high, and the powerful jumping force made the tall body of the human lion step over the hole in the ground, and Edward, who was lying in ambush in the snow, still did not seem to be aware of it. In mid-air, the human lion had already stretched out its claws and was ready to capture Edward, and at this moment, the sound of metal hitting each other sounded, although the sound was not loud, but it still made the human lion with a very keen sense of hearing hear in his ears.
On the other side, Alphonse, who was completely buried in the snowdrift just now, was half-kneeling on the ground at this moment, and quickly pressed his hands together on the ground. The refining circle quickly activated, and with a blue streamer, it swept over the position where the human lion was about to fall.
Walls, cages, potholes or spikes!?
The human lion, who had seen the alchemy ability before, quickly summed up a lot of possibilities in his mind, although he was dodging the pit in front of him and was in the stage of falling uncontrollable after jumping, but no matter what kind of attack the human lion was sure to deal with. However, time seemed to be slowed down like a mischief, and the human lion found that the ground still did not move after the blue streamer, and when he fell, he found that the ground had become like a quagmire, and the huge force of the descent caused half of his body to sink into it.
That power can not only change the shape of matter. It can even change the composition of matter. It's like a massive earth-based spell with fossils of mud, but with no spells and no spell casting, and no temporal transformation, it was almost completed by the armored warriors in an instant!
The sudden change made the human lion subconsciously reach out to support the ground, but his hands were still touching the mud-like ground, and this action accelerated the speed of the body's sinking.
The soles of the feet can't reach the hard objects, and the hands don't have anything to grasp and borrow, just like a beast in a weightless state, but the power is empty, but it can't use it. In an instant, the human lion roared angrily, and the violent struggle only allowed him to sink deeper and deeper. However, the looming threat of death suddenly returned to his normal appearance.
"Help me! Please┉┉Help me!!" In the shadow of death, the female cultist no longer cares about dignity and punishment afterwards, desperately begging for help like two brothers.
Seeing that the other party was in a disadvantageous situation, Alphonse finally walked up to his brother with peace of mind and looked at the female cultist who was already submerged in the mud in his chest, and had to say that if the female cultist still maintained the form of a monster. Then her call for help and the two brothers would ignore it at all, but now that the other party has returned to the appearance of a human being, seeing the other party desperately struggling and begging for mercy, Alphonse couldn't help but soften his heart again, after all, for a child who is still underage, even if he has experienced many things that ordinary people can't imagine, but seeing a woman being swallowed up in the mire in front of him and dying, Alphonse still has some unbearable heart.
"Brother~That we ┉┉" Al set his eyes on Edward.
Edward naturally knew what his brother was thinking: "Don't be stupid, Al, she just wanted to kill us." ”
"But if we kill her like this, we will not be murderers. ”
"You stupid~ The other party is a cultist. She had already killed many people, and she was going to kill us. We are acting only in self-defense. Edward stood up and patted the snow on his body as he said, it was cold enough to bury himself in the snowdrift just now.
"But if you want to judge her, you should let the judge come, let's just kill her casually┉┉" Alphonse was still a little unbearable when he saw that the mud had already drowned the neck of the female cultist.
Edward couldn't help but argue with Alphonse in annoyance, until the mud had spread to the female cultist's face, Edward finally made a compromise and used alchemy to restore a layer of ground on the surface, so that the female cultist was suspended in the mud as if she had been fixed in mid-air by a layer of frozen earth. In this way, even if the other party turned into a monster again, the ground was still in a muddy state, and as for how to be rescued by someone buried in the frozen ground and whether he would freeze to death because he was naked, Edward was not interested in worrying about the other party.
Under the question of whether you still want to save Tia, Alphonse immediately chose to compromise, and then the two quietly returned to the vicinity of the lumberyard, and Edward had already determined that the cultist must have built the altar underground. Moreover, it should be completely sealed and can only be accessed with a magic array.
Considering that he and Al might not be able to use each other's magic circle to enter and exit, Edward finally had to choose to dig a hole in the ground to sneak underneath, and before he started, Edward used alchemy to help Alvon recover the large and small wounds on his body, and the two brothers immediately put their palms together and began the refining work, and a sloping passage leading to the ground quickly appeared on the ground.
