Chapter 107: The Herald's Death
Moo'er -
The petrified demon chicken forced a cow cry from his throat, and the fat and broad meat wings flapped twice, and suddenly the ground was flattened, and the sand flew and the stones were gone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xinong had to raise his left hand to cover his eyes so that the dust and sand would not fly into his eyes, and his right hand clenched the [Sword of the Daytime], which had been upgraded to normal quality, and released a combat skill that came with the [Sword of the Daytime] quality increase.
[Skill: Shield of the Sun
Type: Skill
Skill Attribute: Active
Quality: Normal
Special effect: In a sunny environment, a shield can be created that floats in the air and is controlled by the user's consciousness.
Description: Followers of the Sun God are not only adept at charging, but also at defending. 】
Silently, a translucent pale golden shield condensed in front of Xinong. It can cover the entire upper half of Xinong's body, but it doesn't seem to be able to block the storm, only objects of a certain volume.
The petrified demon rooster didn't know what combat skills were, and turned a blind eye to the [Shield of the Sun], and its mountain-like body jumped several meters high under the drive of its wings, and its sharp nails shining with metallic luster were like a big axe, slashing towards the top of Xinong's head from top to bottom.
Don't look at the petrified demon chicken's bloated size, the speed of this claw is not slow at all. I saw a flash of silver light in the air, and I heard the sound of breaking the wind, and the [Shield of the Sun] had been shattered piece by piece under the power of this claw.
But...... Sinong didn't panic. He had long known that an ordinary-quality combat skill could not withstand the attack of the Petrified Demon Chicken, and he released this skill just to block the sight of the Petrified Demon Chicken.
Behind the shattered shield, Sinong had already retreated a few steps, avoiding the iron claws of the petrified demon chicken. Forty iron-blooded steel spears floated beside him, the tips of the spears were like Lin Ping pointing at the enemy's head, and the anger rushed into the sky, and the fighting spirit swept the four fields.
"Tear your enemies to pieces...... Kungunir phalanx!"
At the sound of Xinong's order, he pointed a finger at the petrified demon chicken, and the body of the iron-blooded spear began to tremble, as if it was emitting a roar of joy. Almost at the same moment, at the same second, these iron-blooded spears pierced into the body of the petrified demon chicken in unison.
The picture caused by this blow was simply miserable, and although the petrified demon chicken's body was huge, it was not enough to hold forty steel guns. You must know that the length of each Kungunir shadow is three meters, and the radius of the tip is ten centimeters...... As a result, the petrified demon chicken was poked into pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground, and no one could tell which creature the meat came from without the beak and feathers......
Throughout the battle, Aluca had no intention of stepping forward to help. The first is to recover his strength as soon as possible, and the second is to trust Xinong, who has spent three games of God Destroyer......, and can't deal with a chicken?
The answer is yes, but only once. When the Petrified Demon Rooster jumped up and attacked Xinon with its lower claws, Aluka used [Eye of Vision] to see a stream of pure white energy flowing out of the Petrified Demon Rooster's legs, and finally wrapped around its sharp nails, forming a film of energy. It can not only increase the power of the attack, but also avoid touching objects that are too hard and cause the nails to break.
Through this battle, Aluka was almost certain that when a creature pushed its muscular power beyond its limits, it could overflow a portion of its pure energy from its flesh. But what pure energy is, he doesn't quite understand yet. The more likely guess is that pure energy is the kinetic energy after concretization......
"But this should only be the first use of pure energy...... "Aruka thought to himself, "once you master it, you don't have to use the muscle power to draw out pure energy......
"Hey!" said to Azuka, "what are you thinking? Hurry up, the herald is going to die." ”
Hearing this, Aluka looked up and found that the three killers of Taoyuan Township and Xinong were gathered together, surrounding the herald. The herald lay weakly on the ground, his mustache stained with blood, and a sharp, hard branch was inserted into his abdomen, piercing through his belly to his back. It is estimated that when the earthquake struck, he was turned upside down, and when he fell, he stuck his stomach in the branch of a tree.
This injury is not fatal if it is put on Sinong or Aluca. Even if it is an ordinary adult man, there is a certain chance to be saved. But the herald has been pampered for a long time, and he is already sick with wealth and nobility, and his physical fitness is extremely poor, which directly causes the serious injury to become a fatal injury. And the scene that happened today made him terrified, his spirit was weaker than his body, and his desire to survive was basically zero.
Even so, the herald clasped his right hand on his chest, vowing not to let his subordinates take away the military order contained in the envelope.
"Don't think about it...... Don't try to rob me of my credit......"
These were the first words that Aluka heard as she approached.
Xinon half-knelt on the ground and said helplessly, "Your Excellency the herald...... I'm afraid you can't hold it anymore...... Leave it to us, and we'll get the job done. ”
"Hu ...... Nonsense......" The herald coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his eyes narrowed from weakness widening, "You pariahs...... How...... How can I take away the military order! This was given to me by the Duke of Roland himself!"
"Less nonsense. Aruka said impatiently, "Do we have to use a military order to bury you when you die? That's a kingdom's military order, not your collection!"
The old butler Alexander also helped: "Lord Herald, I believe you know in your own heart that you can't survive today. There is no doctor in the wilderness here. Even if you find it, can you be cured?Give us the military order, and the royal family and the Knights of the Sun will posthumously honor you, and you will be a martyr who died for the glory of the sun god, and you will have a high status in the kingdom of God......"
"Yo he...... "Ah," Aruka exclaimed, "I don't see it, but you're pretty good at it." ”
Alexander smiled modestly and said, "When we assassinate heretics, we have to brainwash them before we die...... Ah, no, it's excess. ”
When the herald heard this, he said angrily, "I'm not dead......! Tell you, only my noble hand is qualified to take up military orders!"
Hearing this, Aluka was overjoyed, changed his face very quickly, and said with a smile: "Herald, look at you, if you have this request, you should have said it earlier." You said we could not do it? This is out of sight, right......"
The herald was stunned and asked, "What do I want?"
"Isn't it just ......"
The bell rang, the line was unsheathed, the silver light flickered, and the color of blood appeared...... With a single sword, Alucca chopped off the herald's right hand.
"Is this a request? People are dead, and they still want to send military orders with their own hands, how can I not fulfill you with such great ambition and pride! Your Excellency Herald, you are really a model for every Red Sect believer!"
Everyone was stunned and stunned as they watched the severed hand rolling to the ground. The herald stared at the severed hand for dozens of seconds, twitched inexplicably, and tilted his head to lose his breath.
Aluca's expression, as if nothing had happened just now, calmly pointed to the severed hand, and said, "Servants, don't pick up the herald's hand yet, only his hand is qualified to pick up the military order." ”
"I don't think so. Xinong coughed several times before he eased his embarrassment, "Now that the herald is seriously injured and has died, we have to pass the military order ourselves......"
"Badly wounded?" said the bearded Wood, in a low voice, "You're......
"Don't talk nonsense!" said the old butler Alexander, who stood up abruptly and said with an extremely serious expression, "The top priority is to destroy the corpse as soon as possible...... Ahem, bury the body of the herald. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Destroying corpses is a universal skill for killers and mercenaries, and if someone in the Knights of the Sun is idle in the future, they can't find the herald's body, and they can't find obvious knife wounds on their wrist bones......
The eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. Those who dig pits dig pits, those who gather firewood gather firewood, and those who set fires set fires...... In just a few minutes, the herald was reduced to ashes in a pit of dirt. The military order sealed with candle tears was searched out in advance and handed over to Xinong for safekeeping.
Naturally, they would not be kind enough to speed up the tombstones, and they also stepped on the soil a little harder...... Looking at the fruits of hard work in front of him, Aluca sighed: "Sure enough...... No pain, no gain. ”
"Your words are terrible in every sense of the word...... "Xinong grumbled expressionlessly.
The old butler Alexander patted Aluca's shoulder and sighed, "I didn't expect that the herald had only passed away for a few minutes, and I began to miss him......"
"Isn't it?" said Arouca, looking at the old butler with an intriguing gaze, "you...... Okay?"
Alexander shook his head and said, "No...... I just found out that we were just trying to take the military order away, but we forgot that the herald still had the necessary map to pass through the Hermit Forest......"
"What?!" the rest of the crowd exclaimed in unison.
Without a map, it would have been impossible for them to reach the Duchy of Guy through the Hermit Forest. The routes marked on the map are secret passages that the Knights of the Sun have spent decades carving out to pass military orders. Not only did it allow horses to pass through, but it also avoided most of the timberwolves' territory.
If you rely solely on the sun to find your way, you're likely to end up in a timberwolves' den or a dangerous swamp.
"And ......," Alexander reminded again, "our horses have fled or died because of the earthquake." ”
When Xinong heard this, he said with a sad face: "Until now, we can only go west and leave the Hermit Forest, and then find a city to buy horses, but we can't go to the Duchy of Gay...... It's afternoon and the sun is on this side, so the west is on this side......"
He pointed in a direction, and when everyone looked at it, the atmosphere suddenly became even more depressing. Due to the previous earthquake, the Hermit Forest is now full of tree trunks, some of which have been raised and some of which have sunken down, creating countless hilly areas that are difficult to navigate.
"Brother Xinong......" Arouca looked at the road in front of him and suddenly said weakly, "I feel ...... The sequelae brought about by the previous use of [Life Emergence] have not been eliminated...... I'm afraid that you will have to carry me on my back for the rest of the road......"
Xinong said expressionlessly: "Then you can stay here alone." ”
"Okay...... What a bad day. Aluca sighed, depressed. For him, this boring, repetitive, and tiring thing is a nightmare. He won't get tired if you ask him to put together puzzles all day, but if you let him get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to eat, he will feel tired......
The plan to deliver the military order was put on hold for the time being, and after packing up and eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, they prepared to start heading west, trying to leave the Hermit Forest as soon as possible, and then go to the Duchy of Guy from the main road. It must have been much later than planned, but there was no other way......
At this moment, a hissing suddenly came from the forest!
"What the hell!?"
In Aluca's astonished gaze, dozens of golden figures jumped out of the dense forest......
