readx; In the main hall of the Gaoyang Palace, the throne that originally belonged to Karsis now sits a burly man with purple hair, wearing a gray-purple feather coat and holding a black magic sword in his left hand. The man sat alone on the throne www.biquge.info stroked the magic sword in his hand, and the magic sword glowed dark red as if it was the call of the corresponding master. Suddenly, the door of the main hall was opened from the outside, and the man slowly stood up and said to the visitor, "Kells, how is the matter with you?

"Father, don't you see His Majesty now! Your Majesty is sorry that you have not completed your mission, and you will be punished accordingly. Kells bowed, and handed Shirkamun his saber with both hands.

Instead of punishing himself as Kells thought, Shilcamon said to him very seriously: "Kels, I have heard that Kazer said that you are so brave on the battlefield, how can you be so sloppy about women now? ”

"What do you want to leave to you, Your Majesty!"

"Kells, I've heard a long time ago that someone in Hongshan is conducting an experiment to resurrect and control corpses, and if this experiment is successful, what will it mean for Jones and the world? I was supposed to go myself, but Kazir was fighting the barbarians in the north and needed reinforcements, so I decided to go to the aid myself. You should immediately take someone to Hongshan to investigate and prevent this experiment from succeeding, it is best to be able to kill the culprit, and I heard that the direction of Fanan's escape is also over there. With that, Shilkamon stood up from his throne and walked out of the main hall.

In the abandoned village of Wushan, Lifa is carefully putting the ashes of the newly cremated Shannan Master into a pottery vessel.

"Lifa, do you have any plans after your father's matter is resolved?" Yang Xiye said in a mocking tone.

"Then Mr. Xiye, you are not from this country, have you? Have you ever thought about going home?" Lifa did not see the joy of victory in her tone of voice, looked down at the clay pot she was holding in her arms, thought for a moment, and then bowed deeply to Fanan next to her.

Seeing that Lifa was still maintaining the action just now, Fanan stepped forward to help Lifa get up, obviously a little surprised by Lifa's actions, and asked Lifa what was wrong.

"Miss Fanan, you saved my father, and I really don't know how to repay you. Now that my father's affairs have been settled, I have no reason to stay here. Now that I have nowhere else to go, I hope you will agree that I can travel with you. As he spoke, Lifa bowed to Fanan.

"Lifa, it's not all over yet! I learned from Mr. Shiba that the monster that controls your father is called Serthas, and as long as Serthas is alive, someone will become like this sooner or later. I am the princess of the kingdom, and I will never allow this to happen again!"

"Princess?" said questioningly.

"Anyway, we're going to Hongshan to find out, and we might even get a lot of bounties for dealing with that monster. ”

At this time, there were seven people in the mountains of Hongshan who seemed to be searching for something, and when a soldier-like figure was taking off his helmet with his hand, a man in a light blue feather coat strode up and knocked the head of the person who had removed the helmet with his hand.

"Didn't I say you can't take off your armor when you're on a mission?"

"There's no way! His Royal Highness Prince Kells, who is called Hongshan, there are not even a few shade trees in this place. It's hot again, it's too hot. The soldier who took off his helmet justifiably argued.

"Hurry up and put on your helmet, I'll allow you to rest here, I don't want you to be a test subject in the hands of illegal activists. Kells angrily scolded the soldiers next to him, and after seeing the commander's order, the soldiers took out the water they had brought with them at any time and began to drink it in large gulps, and after a short rest, they all regained their usual vigor and continued the search just now.

In the underground cave deep in the mountains, there was a man wearing a hat talking to a monster, and suddenly the monster stabbed the man in the chest with the slender claws on his left hand as if angry, and then quickly pulled it out.

"You humans are unreliable, but don't forget who woke you up from your grave. ”

"Not yet, Lord Serthas, you still can't solve the problem of water loss from corpses. Once all the water is lost, all that's left is a pile of scattered flesh and bones. The man in the hat looked at the monster with a complaining expression, and the monster in front of him was very angry when he heard his subordinates say this, and pulled out the sword at his waist with his right hand. The wings, which had been sticking to their backs, suddenly opened, and with just a few flicks of the wings, a huge air flow was generated in front of them. Seeing this, the man in the hat hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, my lord! I volunteered to be an adult's experiment!"

"That's enough, Hoss, how have you been told?"

"Everything is according to the plan of Lord Sersas, that princess must have been carried away by revenge, and is now preparing to go north to find Kazre, and ask Kazir to help kill Shilkamon. The man in the hat had a wicked smile on his lips.

"But Hoss, the Shannan Division hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid this place has already been discovered by Shirkamun. I've fought this man before, and he's quite strong, and now that I've obtained the Demon Sword Soul Eater, I'm afraid we don't have a chance of winning now. Serthas hung the sword in his right hand back to his waist, and at the same time grabbed Hoth with his right hand and said to him, "Now let us hurry away until Her Royal Highness the Princess provokes a war between Kazr and Shilkamon." We were using the corpses of those soldiers, and we were settling accounts with Shirkamun. ”

"Then we still have a lot of combat power here, so do you give up like this?"

"The green mountains left behind are even if there is no firewood. With that, Serthas flew out of the underground cavern with Hoss.

"Is this Hongshan? Why can't I see any trees when it's all stones, and the sun is so hot that I die. Yang Xiye said as he rolled up his long sleeves.

"Mr. Xiye, please be polite, I don't care if I'm a countryman, but don't do such a faux pas as undressing in front of Miss Fanan. After Lifa finished speaking, she turned her red face to the side and turned her back to Yang Xiye.

"Hong Shan, when I was in the academy before, when the teacher was teaching the map of the kingdom, I said about this place, and for some unknown reason, it is difficult for trees to survive here, so the road is full of such stones. But Mr. Kiba, it's rude for you to do this, is it really that hot? As he spoke, the ice crystals formed by magic appeared in his hands again, "Here, one for each of you, I won't need it." ”

"Thank you, then! Yang Xiye quickly took the ice crystal in Fa Nan's hand, and the person stopped in place, keeping his eyes on the water stains on the stone in front of him.

"What's wrong with you, what are you doing standing still? Could it be that you're going to see the monster Serthas, and then you're scared?" Lifa pushed Yang Xiye from behind.

Because he didn't react at once, Yang Xiye almost fell. When he came back to his senses, he said to Lifa, "Lifa, don't make trouble, you see that there is still a little water stain on the stone in front of you, and there is no water source here." It means that there were people passing by here not long ago, but who is this?"

"Mr. Kiya has a point, the people who come here are other than us. I'm afraid only the monsters and those who come here to destroy the monsters with a bounty, right?" Fanan pressed his chin with his hand at this time, and then said: "Anyway, we have to go quickly, I have some ominous premonitions. ”

At the entrance to the underground cave deep in the mountains, when Kars's soldiers were about to enter the cave, Kells reached out to stop his soldiers.

"Wait a minute, something looks like it's coming out of the cave. Kells had just landed a swarm of rats and bats and the like that had rushed out of the cave, but the animals had already rotted and emitted a foul stench. "It seems we're getting closer and closer to the person doing the experiment. Kells said as he put his left hand on his chest and silently recited the incantation, and at the same time drew his sword with his right hand, took a few steps forward, and drew a line at the entrance to the cave.

The soldiers who were witnessing this screamed loudly: "Hey, look at the line that His Highness Kells's sword cut through the ground and turned into a wall of fire, what kind of magic is this!" Then the soldiers saw in their eyes that the rats, bats, and other resurrected corpse moths that were about to come out crashed into the wall of fire like a fire, and turned into ashes as they collided.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just a purifying spell that only works against the undead, now it's time to go inside and find out. Kells cautiously led the soldiers into the cave.

"Look at Fanan! The stench is coming from this hole, now let's go inside!" Yang Xiye happily gestured with his hand in front of Fanan as if he had found a treasure.

"Mr. Xiye, yesterday you asked me how to go back to your world, why do you care about the affairs of this world now?"

"People always think about the use of things that they don't have a clue about, it's better to cherish the current life, you say yes! ”

"Don't transfer your affairs to me, in fact, I also think what Xiye said has some sense. Lifa herself didn't know why, since Yang Xiye desperately helped his crotch down the attack of the Shannan Division in the morning, he would blush as long as he looked directly into his eyes, and then turned his face away unnaturally. And Fanan seemed to notice this, just smiled at Lifa, and deliberately held the hands of the two together. After Fanan let go of his hand, the two of them let go of their hands at the same time in embarrassment, and then the three of them walked in together from the entrance of the cave.

"Lord Kells, some of you are running out of energy, you can't go on like this! There are too many of these dead, let's retreat!"

"Retreat! Stand behind, I'll break the back!" Kells slammed into the undead who was struggling with the soldiers in the front, and the sharp sword quickly cut the human undead in two. But there were so many of them that Kells had to retreat.

"Xiye quickly see if there are people inside who are about to come out, how do those people look so like soldiers, and the last one seems to be an officer, and the officer seems to be fighting something. Lifa looked ahead and said to Yang Xiye.

"Oh no! Run quickly, that person like the officer that Lifa said is Kells!" Yang Xiye glanced at Lifa and then said, "Lifa hurriedly pulled Fanan and prepared to run outside." ”

At this time, Kells's soldiers had already run to the position where Fanan and his party were, and after confirming their safety, they shouted inside: "Your Highness Kells! Let us go in and help you! If anything happens to you, we won't be able to escape." ”

Kells roared loudly while wielding the long sword in his hand to slash the human undead in front of him: "You stupid people, I don't know how to go to find someone to help now! I just can't find anyone here, won't you go to the nearest mayor of Luyang for help?"

The soldiers then glanced at the three strangers in front of them, one of the two thin girls had a bow and arrow more than half the girl's height on his back, the other girl had no weapon in his hand, and one of the three strange men was holding a hunting knife with a barbed hook that the hunter used for hunting. The six soldiers sighed, "I hope His Highness Kells will last until we bring the rescuers back." ”

Looking at the departing figures of the soldiers, Yang Xiye turned to look at Fanan who was still looking at Kells. And Lifa was at a loss in the face of this situation, and stood in place with Fanan.

"Fanan, we have to go anyway, neither Kells nor so many undead have any chance of winning. Yang Xiye stepped forward and took Fanan's hand and tried to take her outside, but Fanan broke free of his hand.

"If we go like this, he's going to die, Kells is going to die. Fanan once again left tears in front of Yang Xiye.

"That's really no way, let's go! Lifa, let's help Kells. ”

"Do you have any good ideas for so many undead?" Fa Nan wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand, and pretended to be calm and shouted loudly to Kells, "Lifa, you count from twenty to zero from now on, Mr. Xiye asks you to insert the hunting blade knife that Lifa gave you into the ground diagonally, and pull it out of the ground when Lifa counts to zero, Kels! I am going to use magic to summon ice crystals to seal the cave entrance here, and you will quickly rush out of the gap left in the ground when you count one in twenty." ”

Fa Nan and Yang Xiye took a few steps forward, and less than a meter away from Kells, Fa Nan stretched out his hands and silently recited a spell in his heart, and the top of Fa Nan's hand was just a small icicle at first. As Lifa's count gradually approached the single digit, the icicle door got closer to the wall, and when it was counted three, it completely became a wall made of ice, and the weapon in Yang Xiye's hand on the other side was almost unable to support the weight of the ice wall, and finally when he counted one, Kells quickly rushed out of the only gap left.

"It's great that you're not locked inside. After speaking, Fanan sat down on the ground weakly.
