Chapter 250: Little Hem
"There was a fierce battle here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The two soon realized what had happened here.
At the same time, they had a faint idea of why the nearby scene did not match the description on the map.
I'm afraid it can't be separated from these undead who fell to the ground.
"You decide, go ahead and have a look or follow the map. Yan looked at Leo and said softly.
Hearing this, Leo raised his eyebrows, and was about to open his mouth to continue walking, when a cry accompanied by a cry for help sounded from the front.
"Help, help me!"
This sounded very immature, like a child's voice, which made Leo hold back what he was about to say, and without hesitation, he ran straight ahead.
Looking at his back as he quickly moved away, the coldness on Yan Shenchou's face melted instantly, revealing a smile, turning into a white shadow and following.
In a wooded clearing not far from Leo and them, a little curly-haired boy who looked to be about eight or nine years old was sitting on the ground and crying, his finely made clothes had several big holes, his pants were torn, and there was a bruise on his knee that was constantly spilling blood.
Behind the little boy, a very tall skeleton soldier with a faint purple light on his bones was walking step by step, holding a bone knife stained with countless blood stains in his palm, exuding a disgusting aura.
It was the Enhanced Skeleton Warrior who chased after him, and the little boy fell in panic that caused his knee to hurt.
After the knee injury, the little boy seemed to have lost all his courage at once, and could no longer get up from the ground, so he could only sit there and cry and cry for help.
The snapping of the skeleton soldier's joints as he walked was getting closer, and the little boy's cries were getting louder and louder, feeling the terrifying aura of death coming from the skeleton soldier, and his eyes showed deep fear.
At this moment, a figure rushed out from the other side like lightning and picked the little boy up from the ground.
Before the little boy could even react, he felt like he was lying in a warm and powerful embrace.
His crying slowly stopped, and he looked at the face in front of him like a big brother next door.
"Are you alright?" Leo asked worriedly when he saw the little boy stop crying and kept looking at him, thinking that he was frightened by the undead.
Then he saw the abrasions on the boy's knees.
"It's good that 76 has prepared a couple of treatment devices for me. Leo quickly took out the healing device stored in the system space and inserted it into the ground, allowing it to release a light that could heal the injury.
Although it was a bit of a ruin to treat abrasions with this thing that could heal most injuries, there was nothing else on Leo now.
At this time, the skeleton soldier finally noticed Leo who had taken his target away, and the soul fire in his eyes shook slightly, releasing a wave of anger.
Feeling this emotion, Leo sneered, and was about to put the little boy down and get up to deal with the skeleton soldiers, but was grabbed tightly by the little boy.
He was slightly stunned, lowered his head, and saw the pleading look in the little boy's eyes, and his heart suddenly softened.
"Okay, okay, I'm not leaving. Leo spoke softly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Even if he doesn't do it, he has a solution to the skeleton soldiers.
"Just stay and let me come. ā
However, just as Leo wanted to use the Peerless Sword Qi to strangle the skeleton soldiers, Yan's sorrowful voice came from behind him, causing his movements to stop.
This strengthened skeleton soldier only has the strength of level thirty-seven, and Yan Shenchou has now broken through to the transcendental, and there should be no problem solving him.
A thought flashed through Leo's mind, and he nodded.
Seeing this, Yan Shen snorted lightly, a red streamer appeared in his hand, and the phoenix feather sword came out of its sheath with a soft sound.
With a little starlight shining under her feet, she performed a physical combat technique that Leo had never seen before, and in an instant she was in front of the skeleton soldier.
Seeing a large living person suddenly appear in front of him, a little scarlet flashed in the skeleton soldier's eyes, and the bone knife in his right hand was raised in an instant, and it slashed down with a bang.
Nine days of phoenix dance!
A cold light flashed in Yan's sorrowful eyes, and the phoenix feather sword cut through the void, slashing out countless sword lights as brilliant as flames in front of him.
With a thud, the skeleton soldier's bone knife shattered the moment it was disconnected from the Phoenix Feather Sword, followed by his own body.
After smashing the skeleton soldiers into smithereens, Yan Shenchou withdrew the phoenix feather sword from its scabbard, turned around, and looked at Leo.
The expression on his face is basically saying "praise me".
Leo put away his surprise and smiled, "Not bad." ā
Yan Shen wrinkled his little nose, seemed to be a little dissatisfied, snorted lightly, and returned to his cold appearance.
After killing the skeleton soldier, the two stayed with the little boy until he recovered from his fright.
"Thank you, brother, thank you, sister. ā
And the two of them waited in vain, and as soon as the little boy came to his senses, he shouted sweetly to the two of them.
However, what made Leo a little depressed was that even in the face of such a cute little boy, Yan Shenchou still had a cold face, which made Leo wonder if he had provoked her again.
"What's your name, why are you here alone?" he didn't think much of it, and quickly turned his attention to the little boy, and asked curiously.
Even when the undead didn't appear, it was a little strange for such a young child to appear alone, let alone the undead everywhere now.
"My name is Little Hem, and I'm lost with my mom and dad. Little Hem whispered.
"Lost?" Leo was slightly startled, could it be that he was lost on the way to the shelter?
Little Hem nodded and said, "Well, it was originally a warm-hearted brother who was going to take us to a place, but we met a monster on the way, and my brother and parents went to fight the monster, and as soon as I was scared, I got lost." ā
Little Hem's words made their hearts sink in both of them, and according to his words, it should have been a Knight of Light or a priest who was attacked by the undead on the way to the Vault with their family.
"Do you remember where you met the monster?" Yan asked in a sorrowful and soft voice, and Leo looked at her in surprise when he heard this.
Hiss!
Leo felt that the tender flesh on his waist was pinched and turned around by a slender hand, and because he knew who pinched it, he had to deliberately relax the muscles in that part, so as not to be injured by Yan Shenchou's shock...... After all, his current body was comparable to that of a dragon.
"What kind of eyes do you have, is it strange that I care about lost children?" Yan Shenchou did not look back, but her voice condensed into a line and reached Leo's ears.
This can also be regarded as a means for transcendental professionals to use their fighting spirit.
Hearing her words, how dare Leo say a word, her hand hasn't been withdrawn yet.
After hearing Yan Shen's sorrowful words, Little Hem showed a thoughtful look on his little face, and after thinking for a while, he pointed to their east at this time and said, "It's over there, I remember that there is a very sharp house over there." ā
"Very pointy, pointy house? He must have said towers. Leo said.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Yan Shenchou pick up little Hem and walk towards the east.
"Help little Hem find his parents first, and then continue to go, okay?" Yan Shen said lightly.
I just said that I was decided...... Leo muttered to himself, but quickly smiled.
The three of them made their way east, quickly out of the woods corrupted by the breath of death, and back on a wide road.
"Where does this road lead?" asked Leo, glancing across the road.
Since it had deviated from the direction, it was no longer the extent of the map he remembered, so he didn't know where it was.
Yan Shenchou was about to take out the map of the Gray Eagle Kingdom when he heard Little Hem in his arms say, "This road leads to Kairiga City, and my home is there. ā
"In that case, they should be going in the opposite direction?" Leo said, looking to the other side.
"Well, that brother took us that way. Little Hem's words also confirmed Leo's guess.
"This is the city of Kairiga, so the place they are going to should be the nearby Vault, and the spire that Little Hem is talking about may be the buildings in the Vault. Leo then analyzed.
"If you are attacked at such a close distance, the people from the shelter will definitely come to the rescue. ā
Hearing this, Yan Shen smiled slightly, touched Little Hem's head, and said softly, "Your parents may be waiting for you in the shelter." ā
"Hmm!" Little Hem nodded heavily with a twinkle in his eyes.
......
......
Half an hour later.
In front of the ruins formed by the collapse of the city wall, Leo and Yan Shen had been standing for a long time, their faces a little stiff.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
"Woo ......"
And after such a long time, little Herm seemed to realize something, and his confused gaze swept between Leo and the ruins, and he soon began to cry.
He broke free from Yan's sorrowful embrace and rushed into the ruins.
"Little Herm!" Leo's face changed slightly, and he let out a low snort, and immediately followed.
"Mom and Dad, where are you!"
I saw little Hem stepping on pieces of blood-stained gravel, crying and looking around, and bean-sized tears kept sliding down his cheeks, falling on the ruins, and melting in blood.
Looking at this scene, Leo felt his heart throb violently, and there was a suffocating pain.
"Maybe it's still alive......"
Yan Shenchou's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he saw Yan Shenchou also rushing into the ruins, looking for it with a pale face.
Not long ago, she told little Hem that his parents were waiting for him in the shelter, but now, it was such a heart-wrenching sight.
Leo sighed lightly, and his senses expanded with all his might, and he also stepped over the collapsed black city wall and entered the ruins.
No... No... No.
Time passed minute by minute, and Leo had searched the entire ruins, but what made his heart sink was that except for the three of them, there was not a breath of life that showed signs of life.
On the contrary, this ruin is filled with a very large aura of death, which, if it erupts, is enough to corrode the entire surrounding area in an instant, turning it into a terrifying and lifeless place like a place of bones.
Although it was still very stable and did not erupt, Leo did not dare to be careless.
So after finding out that there was no possibility of survivors here, he stopped Yan Shen, who was a little depressed.
But when Leo found little Hem, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
