546.On the Way (5)
Sion immediately turned his head to look at Suggs, glanced at him, and then raised the holy sword aloftβand then, a strong burst of light erupted from the holy sword, instantly illuminating the originally dark surroundings.
Suggs had already prepared, first putting a concealment spell on the crowd again, dispersing the fireballs used to illuminate them in his hands, and finally swinging his staff, sucking everyone directly to him.
When the light on the holy sword dimmed instantly, the place became pitch black, and the five fingers could not be seen.
Originally, it was only by relying on the fireball lighting of Suggs that he could barely see the scene here, but now that the fireball was dispersed, it was naturally pitch black. The light of the moon in the sky could not penetrate the dense canopy of trees, and with the mixture of evil, the darkness here did not automatically adapt to the naked eye after a while, unless there was illumination, it was invisible darkness.
Zhou Ke'er seemed to react to Xiang's plan - it should be to make the other party lose vision like them, so that they can retreat quietly.
But it doesn't work! Who stipulates that the other person can only observe their surroundings with their eyes? The woman's body has been destroyed, where did the eyes come from? It must be using evil to perceive the surrounding situation, which is similar to Zhou Ke'er's right eye. Darkness doesn't stop them!
Sure enough, in Zhou Ke'er's sight, those vines rushed towards them without hindrance!
However, at this moment, Zhou Ke'er saw Xi Ang slam the holy sword into the ground, and then countless incantation-like traces spread rapidly around the sword blade, and in the blink of an eye, it had already spread to a large area of the surrounding area, encompassing the entire open space.
"Stripping the line? Seal! β
With Theon's low shout, the darkness around him seemed to come to life, and he struggled to pull away from the evil that had long been contaminated and melted into it, and suddenly retracted towards the center, forming a ball-like shape.
The area that was originally covered by the spell, the "darkness" in it seemed to be stripped away, as if it was as bright as day, and only a pitch-black ball was left in front of him.
Of course, the darkness around him was also slowly eroding the light here, unhurriedly narrowing the scope of the light, spreading like a tide.
"Click..."
In contrast, a slight cracking sound came from the Holy Sword.
The woman's screams kept coming from the dark ball in front of everyone's eyes, but it seemed to be distorted because it was sealed, and it was impossible to hear what was being said, as if it was a broken cassette.
Sion half-knelt on the ground with a slight weakness, drew the holy sword, and turned to look at the others: "Go!" Let's run now, the artificial holy sword can't support the holy sword technique, and in a while she will break the seal! β
Of course, without being reminded by Xiang, Lance had already thrown his hand and put the giant shield behind his back, and then lifted Xiang with one hand, grabbed Zhou Keer with the other, and ran away from both of them on their shoulders.
Suggs and Chrissy naturally did not hesitate, and instantly followed Lance's footsteps.
I don't know how long I have been running like this, but under Zhou Ke'er's command, everyone avoided many places where the concentration of evil was much higher than the average level, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way.
Finally, everyone found a safer place to rest. To be honest, after what happened just now, everyone didn't feel too sleepy, and it was okay to continue walking all night. But in view of the fact that it was too dangerous to walk at night and could not light the fire, they just relied on Zhou Ke'er to command the direction and ran blindly.
In addition, Suggs needs to recover his mana, and the others also need to conserve their physical strength, so that they will not be able to run away in danger after exhaustion.
Sion sat on the grass with his knees crossed, looking in the direction of the royal capital from afar - of course he couldn't see anything, only darkness in front of him - he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and sighed softly: "I didn't expect the situation in the Duchy of Dragon to be so dangerous, even those who fled can't escape this fate, and I don't know what happened to the master who is still in the royal capital..."
Zhou Ke'er sat next to Xi'ang, supporting his chin with one hand, and teasing the dependents who quietly appeared beside him with the other hand - obviously Zhou Ke'er asked this guy to investigate first, and then came back to tell him about the situation, but he didn't expect to hide in fright when he saw that scene, and it didn't wait until Zhou Ke'er and they ran away that it quietly followed behind.
Sure enough, we have to find a time to replace this guy. In other words, this dog is not even worthy of being a dependent.
"There's no need to worry so much, the evil pollution doesn't directly change the body, it doesn't take effect immediately after infection."
Zhou Ke'er leaned into Xi Ang's ear and whispered: "It will take the lead in the spiritual aspect - you also saw just now, it was the woman who went insane first under the influence of the evil and fell into madness, and her body changed." Therefore, as long as your master's willpower is strong enough, even if he is infected by the evil spirit, the speed of the mutation will not be too fast. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Keer paused and added: "Just like me." At least I'm okay now. β
Xi Ang felt Zhou Ke'er's warm breath gently brushing his cheeks like a cat's claw, and couldn't help blushing, but in this pitch darkness, no one could see it. He tilted his head, coughed lightly, then adjusted his mood and asked, "Can you tell me what is going on in your world?" Where does this evil energy come from? β
The corners of Zhou Ke'er's mouth curled slightly, but there was no expression in his tone: "Unspeakable." If it is mentioned about... Those things or information that exist, they will be sensitive. I don't know if they came into the world, or if their senses can travel through the world, but I would advise against taking the risk. βββBut actually, I don't know why this happens. It was as if all this had happened suddenly, and no one noticed it at first, and by the time it did, no one had time to think about it. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Ke'er deliberately changed the topic stiffly: "By the way, it seems that I saw your holy sword a little just now... Cracked? What's going on here? β
"Oh, this..."
Xi Ang was slightly stunned when he heard this, shook his head and replied: "After all, this sword is not a real holy sword now, it is just a man-made fake, so it can't withstand the original holy sword technique, and it will naturally suffer damage under the wash of energy." However, the property of this artificial holy sword is self-healing, and it will repair itself after a while, so don't worry about this. β
