Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 33: The Battle of the Roses (7)

The situation in the square was once again scorched, all five parties maintained restraint, and Zhu Yaotang did not take advantage of the situation to kill.

The three nobles of the Io Kingdom all gathered their own guards, Guan Yiwen and Zhongzheng Yu on the side were recuperating and resting as if no one was around, and the "witchcraft" of Yiwen was there, and no one wanted to move them for the time being, and the entire square reached a fragile balance.

The reason why this balance is fragile is that as long as there is a slight pressure from an internal or external force, it will be broken and can never be restored.

The balance of the square is no exception.

Ning He was the closest person to the passage, and he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and he turned back suddenly, the sword in his hand was already facing the passage entrance.

He saw a young man with a gray face running from the depths of the passage, as if he was running away, his legs and hands were swinging his power, trying to run faster, faster and faster, as if something was chasing him behind him.

Ning He's gaze passed over the young man, and he looked deeper into the passage behind the young man, where it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He frowned slightly and reminded, "Uncle, there are people in the passage." ”

Zhu Yaotang noticed Ning He's movements, but at this time, he was not easy to turn back. Exposing your back to the enemy is not a wise choice.

Zhu Yaotang said in a deep voice: "What person? ”

The young man ran very fast, and he was only about 100 meters away from the entrance of the passage.

"A young man, as if on the run."

Fifty meters.

Zhu Yaotang opened his mouth the moment Ning He answered: "Let him go and keep a safe distance." ”

Ning He said: "Okay." ”

He took two steps to the left and gave way to the exit of the passage, and the young man also ran out, and Ning He's front was always opposite to the young man in the process, without showing a trace of slackness.

Zhu Yaotang handed over his back to Ning He to take care of it.

The embarrassed young man entered the square, he stood on the square and looked around nervously, and then the glimmer of hope in his eyes turned into despair, his face was like ashes, and the whole person sat on the ground, panting heavily.

After Ning He let the young man go, he began to stare into the depths of the passage, there must be a reason why this young man was so hasty.

Guan Yiwen broke the silence of the square and said, "Hey, why did you run back from the passage?" ”

The young man's broken hair covered his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "There is already a river of blood inside, and a group of people are chasing me, and they are about to arrive." It's over, it's all over! There is no escape......"

Anli Linton frowned slightly: "How many people are chasing you, and who are you?" ”

"A lot." The young man muttered, "You guys here don't add up enough, they are a group of monsters, and Kaitarn Adams has fled deeper after them, and as for Douglas Adams, who came later, he should have been surrounded by those monsters by now." ”

Ning He and Zhu Yaotang, who was tilted his head, glanced at each other, and their hearts sank. Douglas could not die, or they would not have been able to travel to the Empire with the help of Pope Sid of the Church of Light, and they would most likely be hunted down by the Church, who had promised to help Douglas defeat his brother Kaitarn Adams.

Zhu Yaotang looked at the young man in the center of the square and said, "Who are you, why should we believe you?" ”

The young man raised his head slightly, and Ning He saw that it was an ordinary face that could not be ordinary, and there was only one expression on this face now, that is, despair. He looked at Ning He, trembling violently, and muttered, "They! They're coming! ”

The young man screamed and passed out completely, and Ning He understood at this time that he was not looking at himself, but behind him.

A chill rose from his back, and Ning He had been distracted by the movements around him since he turned his head to look at the young man, and he didn't hear anything.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The dull drum beat in his heart, Ning He's body stiffened and turned around, he saw a ghost face, just a meter in front of him, almost standing close to him. He saw that in the ghost face hole were a pair of eyes with no pupils and only the whites of the eyes, terrifying and hideous.

His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the entire passage filled with silent ghost-faced men, who were already standing silently behind him, their numbers endless, spreading deeper into the darkness of the passage.

Ning He felt that those few seconds seemed to become extraordinarily long, and he could clearly see that the ghost's eyes were gradually reddening, and finally a pair of vertical pupils were torn out of the whites of the eyes, the vertical pupils were demonic blood red, and the whites of the eyes were gradually covered with bloodshots, and finally completely soaked in red.

For a moment, he felt the gaze of those blood-colored eyes fall on him, and he even realized that the ghost-faced man would pounce on him next. However, his body has not yet received the signal to retreat!

It's a very rare experience, where the mind is powerless, everything happens so fast that the body doesn't even have time to react. By the time his body began to move, the Ghostface had flared up.

At this moment, a large thick hand grabbed his back collar and tugged violently, giving him a force to retreat, and the owner of the big hand had already swung his long sword at the ghost-faced man.

"Uncle!"

Ning He came back to his senses, he staggered back two steps along this force, and at the same time entered the spiritual vision state, shouting.

Zhu Yaotang said in a low voice: "Go back!" ”

His sword glowed slightly and slashed at the Ghostfacer's armor, and the long sword only sliced through the armor with a slight pause, neatly slicing away the Ghostface's hand that had been trying to claw. Before it was over, he then took advantage of the momentum to slash the head of the ghost-faced man with a sword, and then pulled back as quickly as possible, returned to Ning He's side, and stood by the sword.

The balance of the square was broken by the sudden appearance of young people and a group of unaware ghost-faced people, and the eyes of the rest of the four directions flashed.

Ning He noticed that after the ghost-faced man fell to the ground, more ghost-faced people in the passage had red eyes, and they first walked stiffly for two steps, and then lunged towards him and Zhu Yaotang.

At this time, the first to stand up was Guan Yiwen.

Ning He was just about to meet the enemy, when a figure flashed beside him, rushing straight towards the enemy group.

Guan Yiwen once again used the ability of "time stop", and easily beheaded several ghost-faced people who rushed over from the peculiar perspective of outsiders, and the whole set of actions was smooth without the slightest delay.

His face turned even paler.

Zhu Yaotang looked at Guan Yiwen's actions and frowned slightly. He had previously estimated that Guan Yiwen would run out of oil after using his amazing ability once at most, but now it seems that it is far from it, and this guy is obviously clumsy.

Ning He also noticed this situation, but at the moment, Guan Yiwen was helping them, and there was nothing to say.

Several ghostfaces fell to the ground, and more ghostfaces rushed out of the passage with red eyes. Ning He, Zhu Yaotang, and Guan Yiwen, who were closest to them, greeted them, and the three of them fought fiercely with the ghost-faced man at the entrance of the passage.

In the square, the archers among the three royal guards of the kingdom had already aimed at the backs of the three people who were fighting, An Li's eyes flickered, he looked at the young man who was dead on the side, and then looked at the fierce battle at the entrance of the passage, and finally slowly spit out a word:

"Shoot."

Several poison-smeared crossbow arrows whizzed towards the entrance of the passage, and they flew past Ning He's ears and struck several of the Ghostface men who were fighting them.

All three seized the opportunity and took out a Ghostface almost at the same time.

Ning He gasped slightly: "These things... Not people! ”

Guan Yiwen rolled his eyes and said, "I still need to say it, I have already seen it." ”

Zhu Yaotang said in a deep voice: "Zombies and other things, don't be careless. He looked into the depths of the passage, his scalp tingling, "The best thing to do now is to block them here at the entrance of the passage, otherwise we'll be finished." ”

Ning He nodded approvingly, he glanced at the three groups of people behind him, and said, "What about them?" ”

Guan Yiwen turned around and shouted unceremoniously: "Cao! Why don't you come over and help! These guys killed the three of us, and you don't want to live! ”

An Li sighed and waved his hand, and three guards stepped out of the group, helping Ning and them fend off the Ghostfaces.

The same was true of Giorgio Rooney, who produced three personal guards.

Miss Celine Weiner, who was proud of her figure, gritted her teeth, glanced at the guards beside her, and sent three guards over as well, leaving only the last two guards beside her, and she quietly moved two steps into the corner, and distanced herself from his two uncles a little more.

Ann and Georgio had everything in their sights, and the archers in their ranks were ready to fight.

In the third wave of attacks, the twelve people who blocked the entrance formed a formation convex towards the passage at the entrance of the passage, and the top at the front point were Ning He, Guan Yiwen and Zhu Yaotang, but they also put a lot of ghost-faced people to leave these noble guards behind them.

In the third wave of attacks by more than thirty ghost-faced people, Guan Yiwen used the ability of "time stop" again, and the long sword on Zhu Yaotang's side also emitted a glimmer of light several times to help him sharpen iron like clay, and kill ghost-faced people neatly.

As for Ning He, his spiritual vision state has not stopped, and it has been maintained, which is worthy of being able to resist the attack of the ghost-faced man, and most of Zhu Yaotang's ability is also to help him and give him a chance to slow down.

These ghost-faced people didn't have much cooperation to speak of, but their numbers and the momentum of not being afraid of death still caused a lot of damage, and the guards behind the three people who showed their magic powers were not so lucky. Although they were all elite warriors, they were still killed and wounded in the face of these large number of ghost faces, and Ning He could hear the frequent sound of bows and crossbows behind him.

His mind was not relaxed, and the sound of every bow and crossbow and weapon swing behind him made his heart shake, for fear that it would be shot at himself or slashed at himself.

Fortunately, with the help of spiritual vision, he didn't make too many mistakes, and with the small amount of spiritual energy given by Ning Yu before, he was able to maintain his spiritual vision.

Ten minutes later, the corpses of more than thirty ghost-faced people and the corpses of several guards lined up at the entrance of the passage. Before the fourth wave of Ghostface onslaught, they stacked the corpses on top of each other and built a "low wall" at the entrance of the passage.

The ghost-faced people don't seem to be able to climb, and although the red-eyed ghost-faced people are increasing, Ning He has been given a rare chance to rest.

Everyone gathered to discuss what's next.
