Chapter 44: Trying
Their inference was wrong, even the corpses that had been dead for a long time would attack them, their hard scales slowly opening as if they were in the sea.
The merfolk's head slowly turned in their direction, the goal had been determined, if you want to escape, now is the best time, if you don't, what will happen is a bloody battle.
It may even be in a dream, the end has been prophesied by original sin.
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly thought of the words of original sin, and at that time, there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes.
"I think it's better to leave first."
Ethan's choice was correct, and continuing to stay here was undoubtedly an act of waiting for death.
In the eyes of the monsters, they are probably just ants struggling in the earthly world, and they can solve their lives with almost no effort.
"Let's go."
Jiang Chenchuan said slowly, they really don't have a good way, whether it is manpower or weapons, there is no possibility of fighting with this behemoth in front of them.
Yulia didn't speak again, just nodded and acquiesced in Jiang Chenchuan's thoughts, all the nearby buildings and scenes were stained with sticky blood, and she raised the spear of Perutro, but she couldn't find a place to start.
"There."
Ethan pointed into the distance, but it would take a lot of twists and turns to get to the clearing.
It can be seen that Yulia is a little nervous, and it is the first time to face such a terrible scene, I am afraid that no one will be too calm.
The corpses of the infected they had killed were floating up, apparently, not in large numbers.
"I don't know why, I always feel like I'm going to die here."
Yulia lowered her eyes, the difficulties on the way forward made her a little lost, and she wanted to cross the blood river below, coupled with the guard of the mermaid, this difficulty was indeed not low.
"If you want it to focus on us, I'm afraid you'll have to use some means."
"Do you have any good ideas? Ethan. ”
Jiang Chenchuan asked.
As long as that giant thing is moved casually, it can set off a lot of storms, and I am afraid that the infected people in Ronalk City have also seen it, but not a single person has gone here.
Human nature is always to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
No one wants to make unnecessary sacrifices.
"There is a magic circle that requires a steady stream of blood, but it can play a big role here."
In Ethan's eyes, by breaking down everything he sees into the corresponding elements, he should be glad that he is familiar with the alchemy array, as long as he can have the replacement materials, everything is possible.
"Ewell, Yulia, cover me!"
Emotions gradually became higher with their actions, which dispelled some of the fear of giant creatures.
To what extent can humans survive in order to survive?
"So, how much time does it take for you? Ethan. ”
"Ten minutes."
Ethan replied quickly, and the three of them immediately took action, putting down everything in their hands, and concentrating on assisting Ethan in completing the alchemy circle.
As soon as they moved, the merfolk seemed to have lost their target, and their empty eyes were staring around blankly, not wanting to be so aggressive at first.
Jiang Chenchuan also took this opportunity to take a good look, it was not completely invulnerable, except for the fact that if you got close, you would be pulled into the illusion, the rest of the battle was not a problem.
"Still thinking about rushing up and fighting it?"
Ethan came to Jiang Chenchuan's side, and in a relaxed and teasing tone, it seemed that they had been out of the crisis and could still chat so leisurely.
But I have to say that Ethan's state can really help them relax the tense atmosphere, he sketches a complex formation, and his mouth is still chanting, telling some prayers and other words.
Do a fight?
If he was high-spirited back then, I am afraid that this would be a good means.
Following the rules of the world, no matter how complicated the magic circle is, it seems that it can become much simpler under Ethan's hands.
"By the way, back then...... Did you hear a cat meow? ”
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly remembered something.
"What? Cat? How could it be ......"
Yulia shook her head and denied.
"Maybe I misheard."
I didn't worry too much about this matter, and looked at Ethan's side, along with the integrity of the formation, there was a little drop of blood slowly floating up and converging on the magic circle.
"As I said, the power of life and soul is the most important exchange."
Ethan's words fell, and the circle under his hand gradually became complete.
"This technique looks extremely aggressive."
After all, it's Ethan's attention, and it basically has nothing to do with doing a fight.
"Ready, it's time for us to leave."
Ethan waved his hand in beckoning.
The familiar prayer sounded, the elements gathered one by one, and the magic circle lit up under Ethan's control, which was the courage to challenge the unknown creatures, and it was also the strongest attack alchemy array that Ethan could do at present.
Just like the cannon of industry, just a few alchemy elements can be compared to technology, no wonder this world is difficult to develop at such a pace as modern times, as long as there is one variable, the course of history can be changed dramatically.
"Life goes on and on, and attacks don't stop."
The huge ball of light flew towards the merfolk like cannonballs, and the merfolk obviously reacted violently to such an attack.
It can be seen that the power of the ball of light is not small, even if it is a hard fish scale, it has been hit with a trace of cracks, but it is still a long way from breaking through the defense.
Not even, it didn't hurt it.
But I have to say that the automatic attack of the formation brought them great convenience, and after the mermaid was provoked and completely shifted the target, the three of them secretly climbed down and stepped back on the river of blood, so that the already sticky body was stained with that fishy smell again.
But in order to be able to leave, I had to wade through this distance.
It's another round of automatic light ball attacks, and it doesn't need to be controlled by Ethan, I heard that this technique can only be mastered by high-level alchemists, and used in battle.
Hitting the merfolk's body, it let out an angry roar, a sharp and piercing sound that made the three people in the river of blood cover their ears.
Mortals had no choice but to wait until the merfolk had vented their anger and their voices had weakened before they could move on.
They struggled in the blood water, only to hear a scream, Yulia was knocked down by the corpse of the infected who rushed over, and the scene became chaotic, Jiang Chenchuan took her hand in time to keep her from being washed away.
"Hold on to me, Yulia Decavo!"
The wet fingers kept sliding out, and the formation was another round of attacks, and the mermaid became a little hysterical from the pain of this abrasion, Ethan saw the situation here, and also wanted to come over to help, but the originally short journey became extremely long.
He pounced and grabbed Yulia, and when he had stabilized himself, he continued walking.
As if the whole earth was trembling, the merfolk reached out and grabbed the formation, and the tail of the fish swept in the opposite direction grazed the top of their heads, and their huge bodies occupied all their vision.
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have dealt with such an enemy a long, long time ago, when a group of people were talking and laughing, relying on their high-tech weapons, not paying attention to such a huge creature at all.
A figure knelt on the ground, trembling and pleading uncontrollably, but no one cared about his thoughts, tearing off the bandages on his body, bursting out with earth-shattering power.
The world trampled on the gods, and the gods forsaken the world.
Wrong?
Whose memory is this?
Jiang Chenchuan was a little sluggish, and even stopped, Ethan walked out not far away, and finally grabbed the wall on the edge, and when he turned around, he saw Jiang Chenchuan who was parked not far away.
"Ewell! What are you waiting for? ”
Not understanding his actions at all, even Ethan became a little anxious.
There were corpses and residues of infected people flowing around his body, Jiang Chenchuan came back to his senses, and the fragmentary pictures in his mind just now disappeared all at once.
This feeling is like an amnesia patient who finally remembered something, and lost his memory again, and the powerlessness of loss swept Jiang Chenchuan in an instant.
Yulia arrived at the other side, Ethan pulled her up from the bloody water, sat on the steps and gasped, turned around, and saw Jiang Chenchuan's figure staying.
"Ewell!"
They shouted Ewell's name, and after such a long time, Jiang Chenchuan was still unfamiliar with this name.
There was a low roar of the mermaid in its ears, and it lowered its head, as if it noticed that the little man standing in the bloody water directly swung his tail and swept him into the wind and waves.
"Ewell!"
Yulia was hoarse.
But after this attack, Jiang Chenchuan couldn't be seen, he was already covered with scars, and he didn't have much strength to act, all the while, he protected Yulia and Ethan well.
Blood flowed from the wound, mixed with the filthy water, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.
He was caught in the fishtail, passively accepting the impact of all kinds of dangers, Jiang Chenchuan felt that his brain was congested, and his eyes suddenly became pitch black, he tried to reach out and grab something, but he pounced.
He couldn't hear anything in his ears except ringing in his ears, not even Yulia's call.
"But recycle it then...... You're going to die. ”
At this time, the warning of original sin to him involuntarily appeared in his mind, and it seemed that he had already seen through the cause and effect, and also saw the ending of Jiang Chenchuan's adventure to recover.
The scene was like saying goodbye, with a slight look of compassion and pain, and it always felt like there was some kind of unspeakable emotion hidden.
"It's weird......"
It's hard to tell what's strange, it's just a little incomprehensible emotion and puzzle-like words.
The noisy sound flickered far and near, and the pain all over his body had reached its peak, even if Jiang Chenchuan wanted to do something again, he lost his strength.
Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan's figure had completely disappeared, Yulia became anxious, Ethan knew very well that the attack of the alchemy array could only give some pain to the mermaid and divert attention, but it could not cause much damage.
It can be said that if it were in Pornia, maybe the Alchemy Institute and the Museum would have cooperated to come up with a way to deal with the merfolk, but they were in Ronalk City, a country that was weaker than England North in terms of industry and alchemy.
The relics they brought with them were simply not able to fight such an enemy.
"Ethan, what to do, what should we do! I'm going to save Iwell! ”
She can't accept such a result, she is always calm and calm in her heart, and it seems that a man who can do anything will die in such a place inexplicably.
I'm afraid not only her, but Ethan can't accept such an ending.
Jiang Chenchuan thought that he was just an ordinary person.
How far can human beings go?
Jiang Chenchuan barely opened his eyes, and there were scars all over his body, probably because his internal organs were also damaged by the violent impact, so it became very difficult to even breathe.
There was a thick blood mist in front of him, and only some light came through, and he tried to struggle to get up, but found that his arm had no strength at all, and it seemed that everything else fell into a deep sleep except for his consciousness.
His gaze shifted slightly, and he saw the spikes that pierced his chest, like sharp spears, nailed him to the bloody water, and the current moved slowly, and he could still see the figure of the mermaid.
No wonder da Silva described him as an evil god, and in their understanding, it was the most terrifying creature they had ever seen.
It's over, and it's said by original sin.
He might really be dying.
There was no miracle this time, unlike the quick and fatal shot, Jiang Chenchuan could feel the passage of his life and the gradual blurring of consciousness.
A wave of sleepiness hits, as soon as you relax, you can sleep.
But his mind seemed to go blank, nothing, nothing was thought, and was it over?
Or will when he wakes up, which person's body will he cross over to, and he can start a new life?
How can this be......
Put this polluted relic in this city like this, let it infect humanity wreakingly, and plunge the world into chaos.
This should be a disaster, right?
If it can't be solved, it's the same everywhere you hide......
But how can it be solved?
Jiang Chenchuan didn't know how he could think about so many things in such a short period of time.
He's going to die.
Maybe a minute later, maybe it's ...... Next Second......
If he could come back from the dead, what would he do when he woke up?
Still a detective?
If he went to Loquelen, would he recognize himself?
It's useless.
Jiang Chenchuan thought of the scene when he set off, so many people came to a strange country, early winter...... No, it should have been Goletri, she died so suddenly that there was no warning at all...... And then there's Ethan and Yulia, who should have succeeded if they had escaped......
That's bad.
I didn't make complete preparations, so I came so rashly......
"Whoa—"
The sudden sound interrupted Jiang Chenchuan's cranky thoughts, he had never had so many sentimental thoughts in his usual life, and if he fell into emotions, he would be easily taken advantage of by the original sin.
Therefore, he must not only fight with weapons, but also use his mind and vigilance to protect himself from the influence of pollution sources.
"It's Ewell!"
"Found it! Ethan, I found him! ”
Suddenly......
He heard Yulia's screams ringing in his ears.
