Chapter 724: How to Kill a Dead Man Without a Head

The light sound of horses' hooves came slowly from a distance, still crisp in the ears even at Lilith's laughter, and the light and soothing rhythm constantly stirred Rogge's nerves, making him turn slowly and turn his gaze to the other side of the drawbridge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, Catherine, Elizabeth, and Shirley also heard the crisp sound of the horse's hooves, and even Lilith, who was laughing, stopped, and looked back in the direction from which the horse's hooves came from with Monica, the god of lights floated behind Catherine, and glanced vigilantly in the direction of the class seat, and there was a trace of fear in the eyes of the banshee's tearful eyes.

Suddenly, Banxi's figure dissipated from the darkness, and at the same time, a war horse with its head and four hooves burning with green flames emerged from the dark valley opposite the bridge, and a knight in black armor and black cloak pulled the reins of the war horse with both hands and slowly walked in the direction of the drawbridge.

Everyone stared at the slowly approaching knight, listening to the crisp sound of the horse's hooves brought by his sitting horse, only to see the horse's hooves stop at the bridge, the horse let out a low neigh, and the knight on the horse was quietly facing their direction, but he did not look at them with his eyes.

Because, he doesn't have a head at all.

"It's the Headless Horseman!" Elizabeth took a step back in amazement, turned back and said loudly to Rogge, "Banxi's prophecy refers to him, the living who meet him will have their souls taken, and we must stay away from him!"

Before Rogge could answer, a voice suddenly came into Catherine's ears: "Follow me, Catherine, follow me......" The girl suddenly felt that her body was out of control, and her spirit was wandering outside her body, she struggled to get rid of this feeling, but her body involuntarily walked towards the drawbridge.

Suddenly, the god of lights hugged Catherine from behind, and at the same time, Rogge and Elizabeth both came out of her, and Rogge turned into a frost werewolf with a wolf roar, and rushed to the head of the drawbridge and slashed the rope on one side of the drawbridge, Elizabeth released two red rays of light with both hands, and directly blasted the wooden stakes at the other side of the bridge to pieces.

The drawbridge collapsed with a bang, and the Headless Horseman stood quietly on the other side of the drawbridge, looking at the white wolf and Elizabeth on the opposite bank, and the horse sitting down neighed, and slowly retreated into the darkness.

The white wolf reverted to Rogge's form, and Elizabeth turned to Catherine, who was held in the arms of the lamp god, her spirits still languishing, and she did not respond to Shirley's call, not even the wolf-eye amulet around her neck.

"It's a soul attack, the Headless Horseman is calling her, and she can only recover if she stays away from the Headless Horseman. Elizabeth said to Rogge after checking on Catherine's condition.

"Why is the Headless Horseman here?" Rogge glanced back at the cliff bridge opposite, the Headless Horsemann's figure had disappeared into the endless darkness.

"I seem to remember," said Elizabeth, standing up and gazing at the cliff opposite with Rogge, "My father once said that the Headless Horsemen are the only ones who do not covet gold, because they are afraid of the light of gold, just as we Bloodlines are afraid of silver, the difference is that the Headless Horsemen are not killed by gold, they are just afraid. ”

"You mean, Grady asked the Headless Horseman to guard the gold?" Rogge suddenly realized when he heard this, nodded meaningfully and said, "It is indeed a good way to let people who are afraid of gold guard the gold, so that they don't have to worry about them stealing it." ”

"Maybe we can take advantage of that. Hearing this, Shirley raised her head and said to the two, "Let's ask the lamp god to get Catherine a garment inlaid with gold, won't the Headless Horseman dare not approach her?"

"But that still doesn't stop the Headless Horsemann from summoning her," Elizabeth said, looking back at her sister, "If Catherine had been dressed in gold before being summoned by the Headless Horseman, perhaps the Headless Horsemann could have avoided calling her, but now that the summoning has been activated, it's too late to wear it again." ”

"Then what should we do, how can we save her?" Shirley asked her sister as she looked down worriedly at a delirious Catherine, holding her hand tightly.

Elizabeth held her elbow in one hand and rubbed her smooth chin in the other hand in contemplation for a moment, then looked up and said to Rogge, "There may be a way to try, if you can find a head and give it to the Headless Horseman, maybe you can divert his attention and stop his summoning for a while." ”

"Ah, you're going to give me a problem, Your Highness. Rogge scratched his head helplessly, spread his hands and looked around, and said, "Where can I find a human head in this hellish place?" ”

"Why can't we kill the Headless Knight? how easy it is?" the little furball muttered impatiently.

"Because he's a dead man, and he doesn't even have a head, how can you kill a dead man with no head?" Rogge turned his head and squinted his eyebrows at the little furball, and the little furball tilted his little head and thought for a moment and said, "Break him into eight pieces?"

"I guess we wouldn't have been able to dismantle him, or even if we did, it wouldn't have been useless, or Her Highness would have told us a long time ago. Rogge said as he glanced at Elizabeth beside him, and before the eldest princess could answer, the crisp hooves of the horses suddenly came from the cliff opposite.

Everyone looked back at the cliff opposite, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and getting more and more urgent, and suddenly with a loud neigh, the headless horseman's war horse burning with green ghost fire rose from the cliff edge on the opposite bank and jumped to the cliff where they were.

The stunned crowd watched as the Headless Horseman's horse leaped over the canyon twenty or thirty meters wide, the four hooves burning with undead flames fell heavily to the ground, and a circular shockwave spread out from under the horse's hooves, knocking Rogge and Elizabeth, who were closest to him, backwards.

Shirley, Monica, and the lamp god holding Catherine behind the two were also swept to the ground by the diffuse shock wave, Shirley struggled to get up from the ground, and was surprised to see Catherine slowly get up from the ground, looking in the direction of the Headless Horseman with lost eyes, and staggered towards him.

The Headless Horseman stood motionless on the edge of the cliff, waiting for her in Catherine's direction, Shirley jumped up from the ground and grabbed Catherine's arm, dragging her body to prevent her from approaching the Headless Horseman, and the Lantern God and Monica also grabbed Catherine's body and dragged her back as hard as she could.

Suddenly, Catherine fell to the ground as a ghost identical to Catherine rose from her body and hobbled in the direction of the Headless Horseman, Shelly, Monica, and the Lamp God tried to hold her, but their hands only penetrated her body.

"Dabai, sister, think of a way!" Shirley cried to Rog and Elizabeth in a hurry, only to hear a wolf howl, and Rog, who struggled to get up, turned into a frost werewolf and pounced on the Headless Horseman, and the steel claws stabbed into the Headless Horseman's chest in the air.

Suddenly, the war horse under the headless horseman's seat neighed, his legs stood upright, and the two front hooves burning with undead flames kicked heavily on the white wolf's body, and the white wolf's chest was suddenly branded with two green hoof prints, and his body flew backwards and fell to the ground not far away.

As soon as the headless horseman's horse, which had repelled the white wolf, landed, Elizabeth spread a pair of blood-red wings and soared into the air, releasing a swarm of red bats into the Headless Horseman with both hands, and the bats swarmed like a dark cloud crashed into the Headless Horseman's body, causing a series of explosions.

Elizabeth's eyes continued to shoot out two blood-red beams, bombarding the smoke and dust of the explosion of the bat swarm, only to see Catherine's soul walking towards the Headless Horseman suddenly stopped moving, and Shirley, who saw this scene, exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, it has worked, come on!"

Before she could finish speaking, a long sword burning with green flames suddenly flew out of the smoke of the explosion, hitting Elizabeth's shoulder, and the green undead flames instantly engulfed Elizabeth, and the eldest princess fell from the sky with a scream, rolling on the ground trying to extinguish the burning of the undead flames, but to no avail.

"Sister!" Shirley looked at her sister who was burned and rolled on the ground in surprise, and suddenly heard an angry roar behind her, and the white wolf, who was also shrouded in the flames of the undead, stood up with the burning pain, and with a long roar, her claws plunged into the ground, and the frost instantly spread from under his claws, turning the valley into a thousand miles of ice.

However, when the white wolf looked up at the Headless Horseman, he found that the frost that extended to the other party's feet had no effect, and the Headless Horseman was still sitting quietly on the back of the warhorse, and the frost stretched from his feet to the bottom of the cliff, but not even the edge of the horse's hooves was stained with a little ice and snow.

"No, isn't there a way?" the white wolf gritted his teeth and watched Catherine's soul slowly walk towards the Headless Horseman, he pulled out his claws from the ground, endured the severe pain all over his body and rushed towards the Headless Horseman, slamming into the body of the war horse with all his strength.

The Headless Horseman and the war horse did not move, but the white wolf knelt down in front of the war horse, and the shoulder bone on the side of the war horse that he hit was broken, as if hitting the hard steel, the white wolf endured the heart-rending pain and raised his head, and saw the headless horseman's war horse raise its front hooves again.

The horse's hooves kicked heavily on the white wolf's chin, and the white wolf's body fell backwards to the ground, and he lay on the ground feebly as Catherine's soul slowly walked past him, his eyes looked in the direction of the Headless Horseman, and he did not look down at him.

Finally, she stopped in front of the Headless Horseman's horse, looked up at the Headless Horseman, the Headless Horseman stretched out his hand, Catherine obediently stretched out her hand to him, and just as the two hands were about to touch, a bright golden light suddenly scattered from the top of the Headless Horseman's head.

The frightened horse neighed in terror, the horseless horseman grabbed the reins of the horse and ducked aside, and the gold coins scattered from the sky fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and many gold coins rolled down from the edge of the cliff and fell into the bottomless valley.

The white wolf who fell to the ground looked in surprise at the little Lori who threw all the money on her body at the Headless Horseman, Lilith took advantage of the opportunity of the Headless Horseman to dodge the scattered gold coins, turned into a little owl and flew above the Headless Horseman, and landed from the sky behind the war horse to become the appearance of the little Lori again.

"This is the head you want, take it quickly, stay away from the stupid girl!" Little Lori shouted, her eyes flashed red, and there was an extra pumpkin head in her hand, and she grabbed the pumpkin head with both hands and buckled it directly on the headless horseman's neck.
