Section 7: Wren's Secret
Before she could make any soul power response, she only had time to see the ground under her feet suddenly burst open, and five sharp huge claws pierced like lightning, like sharp blades that could be stretched indefinitely, picking up her thin body diagonally. Her whole body was held hostage by the huge force of the impact, and she slammed into the cliff behind her, and with a bang, the rocks shot out in all directions, and the dust filled the air.
- I felt it in advance, but I couldn't dodge the speed......
Heaven and earth were silent again.
The dust slowly settled. The steep mountain face was smashed into a crater by Kakine's body, and at the entrance of the cave, Shinne's silky black hair hung upside down from the hole. The sound of countless ice cubes shattering resounded in the air. A large cluster of sharp snow vines grew slowly and twisted out of the hole, squeezed out of the hole, slowly climbed towards the sky, stretched for several meters, and then stopped. It looked like a living thing, piercing through the cliff and breaking through the rock, exposing its crystal-sharp claws to the air. Between the clusters of ice crystals were the lifeless blood-soaked hairs of the gods.
Kirin lay on the ground, looking at the upside-down picture behind him with dilated pupils, watching Shenyin being gradually swallowed and buried by those crazy ice and snow vines, and watching the cave finally be filled with countless ice cubes.
At the same time, several sharp ice spikes burst out of the ground around his body, and with a slow speed and arrogant gesture, they broke through his skin little by little, sliding into his body like a sharp snake, calmly and cruelly moving slowly through his body. More ice spikes burst out of the ground, binding him in circles, and then gradually tightening, each ice blade bursting with countless sharper Xiaoice blades. ankles, thighs, arms, chest, lower abdomen...... The sharp ice blade tore through his muscles densely, and the extreme cold was like a deadly venom, injected into his body, and the pain turned into a numbness, and Kirin felt that his body was rapidly losing temperature, and the blood flowed backwards and filled the entire chest, suffocating against the heart, and then rushing to the throat. The mouth is a fishy, sweet liquid gushing out.
In the last frame before losing consciousness, Kirin saw the claws of the huge, furry monster in front of him. The blood dripping on it was a faint green glow from the moonlight.
It raised its claws high at itself, its massive paws obscuring the white moon, and in the shadows, lightning light flew down.
【West Globe Empire: Port City of Rennes】
When Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring walked into Rennes City, it was noon.
The blue sky is like a wash, and the blue wall of the sky is like a huge sapphire that has not been excavated on a whole side, so pure that there is no trace of impurities.
The white seabirds chirp loudly from among the wooden stakes in the harbor, and from time to time they plunge headlong into the sea, and when they burst out again, they probably have a small silver fish in their mouths.
Cargo ships of all sizes are constantly entering the harbor and anchoring in the harbor, swaying slowly with the gentle waves. Rennes is located in a depression of the coastline, where the junction of land and sea is gentle and deep, the wind and waves are not strong, and the hinterland is open, which is the best natural port. Located on the southwest coast of Yaslan, Rennes is blessed with sunshine for more than half of the year. In such a season, most of Yaslan has entered the early winter, and Rennes is still shrouded in warm spring days.
Guishan Lotus Spring took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the unique smell of the sea in the port city, with the complex smell of various goods. Spices, wines, food...... The salty air and the bright sunshine give you a sense of happiness that is lazy and tranquil. Therefore, living in such a city, everyone is in a happy mood, whether it is a fisherman returning from the sea, or a craftsman in a blacksmith shop, everyone has a smile on their face that is as cheerful as the sky. However, there was not much smile on Lianquan's face. She grew up with almost no smiles, and everyone around her felt that she was too serious and that life was a little less interesting.
As the third largest metropolis in the Yaslan Empire, Wren has always played the role of the Empire's export choke point. More than half of all the ships passing through this port, unloading, loading and setting sail again. In addition, it is far away from the borders of the four countries, there are few wars, the climate and geological structure are relatively stable, and there are not too many natural disasters, so Rennes has been able to continue to develop and accumulate steadily, and has become a rich city comparable to the imperial capital of Grant in the field of Aslan. At the same time, the annual cold and warm ocean currents also meet in the Rennes Sea, bringing abundant algae and shrimp from the deep sea up the shallow waters, and schools of fish around them are swarming, and several huge fish floods can last from autumn to late winter. Transport and fishing have always been the backbone of Rennes.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, and live in abundance.
But Wren has always had a secret.
This secret is only circulated in the soul art world, and is almost known by most soul magicians.
That is, it is the entrance to the [Soul Mound].
The lotus spring is here for the [Soul Mound].
Soon after entering the magnificent city gates, I heard a commotion in the distance outside the city. Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring turned around, and then frowned.
In the harsh sun, a motorion of horse-drawn carriages sped down the white marble streets. The vendors and pedestrians on both sides avoided one after another, and everyone carefully bowed their heads and knew each other.
It should be some prominent nobleman in the city.
Lianquan put on his hood, covered half of his face, and stood on the side of the road. His eyes were hidden in the shadow of his hood, and he watched with slight vigilance as the unscrupulous procession of chariots and horses shouted and approached.
The horses pulling the cart have strong muscles and shiny coats, and at first glance they are expensive and valuable horses. Each hoof is intricately carved with a metal hoof of mythril that makes a loud sound when it steps on the white marble pavement. Apparently he was carefully cared for all year round.
In the middle of the road, a slow-moving old woman was bending down to pick up the basket she had overturned in fright, while the convoy was speeding towards her.
The people around her had no time to help, so she could only shout loudly to remind the old woman, she heard the shouts of the passers-by around her, just turned her head, and maintained the posture of bending over, and the next moment, with a bang, the old woman's body was like a withered fallen leaf, flying from the ground without weight, and then fluttering away, hitting the city wall on the side of the road, sticky blood flowed out of her bun, and under the scorching sun, it quickly solidified.
Lianquan's eyes flashed from under her hood, and she frowned at the old man's motionless corpse in the corner and the departing motorcade - they did not hesitate at all, and to them it was probably no different from knocking over a basket or a chair.
The convoy ran about 200 meters and came to a slow stop.
The leading carriage stopped at the gate of a palace made of tall white rock, and the steps were already lined with sword guards and bowed maids to greet the convoy.
Lianquan moved, his figure shook a few times under the scorching sun, and after two or three ups and downs, he stood quietly in front of the convoy. If it weren't for the fact that her cloak was still flying, it would have looked like she had been standing here waiting all along.
The people in the carriage lifted the heavy luxurious curtains, and just as they were about to get off the carriage, they saw the lotus spring standing in front of the horse. The man looked at her with indifferent eyes, looked away contemptuously, and coldly spat out two words from between his teeth: "Get out of the way." ”
Renquan didn't move, and she didn't seem to see the sturdy samurai with a heavy chain hammer walking towards her behind her.
The man in the car sneered and sat back in the car. Then, the samurai behind Hayashimi swung the chain hammer made of black iron vigorously, the muscles of his arms swelled in anger, and the heavy black iron hammer head covered with spikes smashed down towards Hasuzumi's neck.
The sound of bones shattering and the murmur of iron thorns thrusting into flesh.
Lianquan's body flew out with a "bang" and fell to the ground a few meters away, sliding far away on the rocky ground, and the ground was mottled with blood.
