Chapter 17: Alz
In the eerie castle, tables in the style of horror elements are placed in front of huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
There is a glass of red wine on it, a white hand lightly covers the glass, and slender and powerful fingers rub the intricate and exquisite patterns on the surface of the teacup.
Because of the backlight, I couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, and I could only see his sharp fangs.
"You say, the wizard failed?" The hoarse voice is flat and bland, making it impossible to figure out the master's mood from it.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness!" The skeleton in a black coat bowed slightly respectfully.
"What do you do, you know?"
"Judging from the current information, it is someone from another world."
"Well, it looks like there are other participants who want to get a piece of the pie with us."
Then he raised his right hand and stretched out a finger: "I'll give you a day to solve the problems of the north." β
"I have already sent the Snow Maiden, and I will definitely recover it as soon as possible, please rest assured, Your Highness." Cold sweat overflowed from the skeleton's forehead.
Looking at the red wine glass in front of him, the man said to himself, "This world on the verge of shattering seems to be a little interesting." β
The next morning, the sun was shining, and the breeze blew through the half-open window, waking up the sleeping Junzi Orchid.
"That little girl, didn't you close the window for me?" He squinted his eyes and underestimated in displeasure.
Now it's August and September, and there are snowflakes outside, and it seems that this year's cold winter is coming early.
Closing the window and lying on the bed, Jun Zilan still wanted to sleep again, but felt a familiar atmosphere.
It looked like trouble was coming, and he knew he couldn't be lazy like this anymore, and it was time to get out and take a look.
I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, or because of the lockdown for two or three weeks, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.
Jun Zilan was walking aimlessly, and suddenly someone bumped into him with his head down.
"I'm sorry!" After the boy apologized, he got up and was about to leave.
With such a wide road, the other party can hit him, and it happens that it is absolutely impossible, there must be ghosts here.
Jun Zilan didn't think about it, so she grabbed the young man as soon as she could.
Then he reached into his pocket, and the contents were gone.
He stepped up his efforts directly in his hands: "Hand over the badge to me." β
That was before, Lin Shuang gave him the God Killing Hall, the captain-level badge token.
I don't know what it does, but since someone will steal it, it means that it has other value.
"Hand over my badge." Seeing that the other party did not react, Jun Zilan looked at the young man coldly and repeated it again.
"What do you say? Let go of me, kill someone, help! The boy's eyes rolled, and he asked for help.
In the face of this, Jun Zilan had no mercy at all, and as soon as she used her strength, the young man immediately screamed in pain.
Just as he was about to reach out to rummage through the boy's clothes, he keenly noticed a sense of danger behind him, as if he was being targeted by someone.
"And a helper? Gang crime? When this idea first popped up in Jun Zilan's mind, he didn't care that he was still holding a person in his hand, and immediately threw himself to the side.
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow hit the place where Jun Zilan was standing, and looking at the constantly shaking tail feathers, it can completely explain the power of this arrow.
He immediately looked up to a roof behind him, and saw a cloaked figure fading away.
When Jun Zilan turned her head again, the figure of the young man disappeared at the corner of the street.
"Damn," Jun Zilan was very unhappy, and was about to make the other party pay for his blood debt, so he immediately chased after him.
The purpose of that group of people is also very clear, that is, they are here for the captain badge of the God Killing Hall.
The thief boy escaped quite quickly, but Jun Zilan had already marked him with the wind element, as long as he didn't leave Qijiang City, he would be able to find it sooner or later.
In less than ten minutes, Jun Zilan forced the boy into a dilapidated temple.
From a distance, you can see that this place has only been abandoned for a long time.
Now that the end is coming, it would be good for every family to have a full meal, who still has the leisure to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Although it was snowing lightly today, the weather was gloomy and the inside of the temple was even darker.
I'm afraid there are traps! After Jun Zilan hesitated, she still planned to go in to see the situation.
Even if you die today, you have to see who it is, and you want to pit yourself.
Snowflakes slowly fall to the ground through holes in the roof slope before melting into a puddle of water.
"There's nowhere to run, give me back the badge." Jun Zilan strode into the main hall of the temple and looked at the young man with his back to the Buddha.
"Stupid, you really dare to follow up." The boy spat disdainfully.
Jun Zilan raised her eyebrows and glanced around with the corner of her eye.
In the main hall, next to basically every Buddha statue, there is a vague figure, they are standing or lying, all of them reveal killing intent.
"What do you want to do?" Jun Zilan was stunned for a moment, and then showed weakness.
"The gods came to this world to save the suffering, and you should not rebel against the will of the gods." In the darkness, a voice replied.
"Oh, so what do you say to do? Let those zombies into the city? Jun Zilan asked thoughtfully.
"Everything is the will of the gods, we just have to go with the flow." The voice continued.
I saw Jun Zilan take a step and came to that person's side.
No one in the room reacted, and the head of the person who spoke was pressed into the Buddha statue.
"What do you know?" Jun Zilan glared at everyone, if it weren't for the darkness, everyone would be startled.
The reason why humans are infected with the zombie virus is because the animal corpses that have been persecuted by humans have been buried under the earth for a long time, and the resentful memories are formed.
It has been silent for thousands of years, and because of the appearance of Arz, the resentment of the earth has been aroused, so the current scene has been formed.
"Who do you think you are? He even tried to figure out the will of the gods. With a crisp scolding, the ponytail girl next to Maitreya Buddha was glaring at Jun Zilan with an angry face.
At this time, the two are the closest, so they can see each other's faces clearly.
"Fools, need not say much." Jun Zilan couldn't laugh or cry.
"Die." As soon as the girl's words fell, twenty or thirty people in the main hall surrounded them.
They have axes and swords in their hands, and they don't seem to be good at it.
This made Jun Zilan a little surprised, he never thought that there were still people with such thoughts in Qijiang City.
Since it is the enemy of the God Killing Hall, it is better to kill it directly, anyway, in this troubled world, there is nothing to regret about the death of a few people.
A strong man wearing an iron armor and holding a big iron hammer and a pan rushed straight towards Jun Zilan.
The opponent's height is nearly two meters, and even if he doesn't have an awakening ability, his brute strength is still amazing.
With a bright flame ignited, illuminating the sight of one side.
The group of people gathered together, trapped Jun Zilan in it, and blocked his retreat.
Although the other party didn't go on together, it didn't seem easy to deal with alone.
As the heavy sledgehammer smashed down, Jun Zilan immediately raised her sword to block it, and as a result, her entire arm was shocked and numb.
It seems that the other party's goal from the beginning is not the badge but at himself.
The revolver instantly appeared in Jun Zilan's hand, and bang, bang, bang, and three shots shot out directly.
A rugged big man protected the pan on his chest and directly blocked it all.
This? Seeing this scene, Jun Zilan couldn't believe it.
This group of people didn't have awakened abilities, but there may be something else that gave them power.
The big man raised the sledgehammer and took a big stride towards Jun Zilan.
Every time he stepped out, the ground shook.
With his tall but not slow speed, he runs with great momentum.
Jun Zilan hurriedly raised her sword to block it, and was immediately knocked out by the opponent's huge impact.
"Well done!" Someone in the darkness complimented.
"Be careful, he did it on purpose, he wanted to break through!" The strong man could feel that the shock force coming from the hammer was not so complete.
With the strong man's reminder, the young man who was blocking the door saw Jun Zilan flying upside down, and immediately made an attack.
"Black flame, burn." Fortunately, Jun Zilan's reaction was also slow, and she directly enchanted the flame of the weapon in her hand, forcibly forcing back the opponent's attack.
But as soon as he landed, he didn't run out of the main hall before he could run out, and immediately rolled a few meters to the left.
A sharp arrow landed where he was going, and a deep mark suddenly cracked on the floor.
Whoosh, swish, two more sharp arrows were fired, so fast that only a white line could be seen.
Damn it! Jun Zilan immediately raised his sword to block, and the force from the hilt of the sword made his palms a little numb.
The impact of this arrow is not weaker than the power of the sledgehammer just now.
Just as he was looking around at the people around him, thinking about what to do next, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hehe, be careful, my voodoo, but there is no antidoteγγγ" Before the man could finish speaking, he saw a figure appear in front of him.
Jun Zilan directly stepped on his face fiercely, and the ground was directly sunk into a deep pit of more than ten centimeters downward.
Dealing with one person first, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he began to pick the next target.
"Together, he was poisoned, and he didn't last long." I don't know who shouted like this, and everyone planned to practice their hands.
Coughing dryly, Junzilan itself used water properties to clean and purify the toxins just now.
Damn, the other party obviously has a companion, and they have all been dealt with, why didn't everyone react at all.
In this case, Jun Zilan always felt that she had seen it before.
By the way, it's Liu Qingya's woman.
She can refine living creatures into artifacts and bestow them with great power.
