Chapter VI

That night, the commotion within the Vatican did not attract much attention from the citizens of Rome, after all, it was not as fanfare as the last offensive and defensive battle, this time Camarilla's attack was very smooth, and all the monsters were evacuated before dawn.

When the first rays of dawn fell, in a city park far from the Vatican, Konstantin was sitting by the fountain and looking up at the sky. After only one night, his eyes were red, his beard was scruffy, and the Pope, who had always appeared in front of the public with great grace, was now no different from a bum.

One after another, the surviving papal guards rushed to the side, and soon more than a dozen blood-stained and embarrassed priests had gathered around the fountain, attracting the sideways of passers-by. However, they probably could not have imagined that sitting here was the famous Pope Constantine IV.

At this time, a priest hurried to Constantine's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, those monsters have all retreated, we can go back." ”

There was no reaction to his words, and Konstantin remained stunned. After waiting for a moment, the priest couldn't help but want to speak again, and Konstantin suddenly said, "How is Ralph?" ”

Stunned for a moment, the priest lowered his head: "Bishop Ralph has died an honorable death. ”

"Really?" Konstantin closed his eyes in pain.

After a pause, the priest added: "The Vatican has not been damaged on a large scale, but the papal hall has been badly damaged, especially... Especially..."Speaking of this, he looked like he wanted to say something.

"Is it a treasure room?" Konstantin said indifferently.

"Yes, there's nothing else to lose in there, just those two thingsβ€”" The priest wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Hmph, is it really for that thing?" Konstantin sighed in his heart: "What are those? can make the Inhuman Alliance desperate to snatch it..."

Although he did not know about Pandora's box, Konstantin could already vaguely feel from a series of events that the loss of those two pieces by the Holy See this time was definitely not a good omen, and even the beginning of another disaster.

Thinking of this, Konstantin only felt a chill on his back, and then he realized that his back was full of cold sweat. Straightening up, he said eagerly: "What about the War Dragon Troops?" What's going on over there? ”

The priest immediately said, "I was about to report to you that Cardinal Ross has just sent news that the corpse combat forces of the Inhuman Alliance have been completely wiped out, and the preliminary estimate is that more than ninety percent of them have been wiped out. But under the enemy's desperate counterattack, the war dragon troops also lost a large part, and now there are only twenty-one left..."

Konstantin would have been very happy to hear this news before, but now it has been replaced by deep apprehension. He touched his chin and muttered, "Twenty-one... Is the loss so big? ”

Saying that, he instructed the priest: "Let Rose immediately take the war dragon to hide, and never go out again without my order, if it is discovered by the dragons, it will be bad, and the aftermath will be handed over to the Italian exorcism police to deal with." We immediately returned to the Vatican and closed to the public for a month. ”

"Yes." The priest answered, and immediately hurried down to make arrangements.

Standing up, Konstantin suddenly leaned over and picked up a large amount of water from the fountain to wash his face, stimulated by the cold water, and his spirit couldn't help but be shaken.

The papal guards on the side watched his movements in surprise, they didn't understand what happened to His Holiness the Pope, who had always paid the most attention to etiquette and demeanor, today? Why such a rude move?

Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, Konstantin pulled up the hem of his robe and wiped his face, and then sighed comfortably. However, unlike the ease on the outside, his heart is simply turning upside down at this moment.

What's going on? What's going on? It should be us who has the upper hand, why can the non-human race that should be going to perdition repeatedly force us so embarrassed? What is the sign of the loss of those two things?

God, please give me some guidance...

********************************************************************

At the moment, on the battlefield thirty kilometers from the western outskirts of Rome, everything calmed down.

The earth was like craters on the surface of the moon, covered with charred and black craters, full of zombie mutilated flesh, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and scorching stench filled the air.

The corpses of more than a dozen war dragons were piled up like a hill, and some papal guards were sprinkling something on the corpses for destruction. The rest of the war dragons were neatly lined up, and although they were scarred, they did not lose the majesty of the dragons.

Cardinal Rose was listening to something with his phone, and after a moment he put it down, turned around and waved. Dozens of papal guards approached. Rose commanded them; "Take these war dragons and hide them immediately, and you must not act without the instructions of the Pope."

In unison, each of these papal guards climbed a war dragon, soared into the sky with the sound of huge wings, and quickly disappeared into the clouds. When the wind had passed, Rose beckoned another priest.

"You destroy the corpses of those war dragons immediately and wait for the exorcist police to come and clean up the aftermath. The Vatican was attacked by an unknown enemy last night, Ralph was killed, and I had to rush back immediately. ”

The priest nodded in understanding, but there was a look of concern in his eyes. With one more sigh, Rose took his retinue and headed for Rome.

God, the Vatican has been attacked again, and who can tell me what this is all about?

However, no one in the busy crowd noticed that a few kilometers away, at the top of the tallest tree in a forest, a man and a woman were coldly watching all the scenes.

Instead of sitting, they crouched like lizards on the branches at the top of the tree. Although they were just two ordinary people on the outside, looking at the past, this man and woman exuded an amazing spirit.

It's like... It looks like two giant beasts crouching on the top of a tree!

"Do you see clearly?" The woman said coldly. Her eyes were all occupied by large yellow pupils, making it impossible to suspect that she could clearly see objects several kilometers away.

"That's right, the missing children." The man replied.

"These abominable humans!" The woman sneered and cracked her mouth, and a terrifying breath poured out. In a burst of swishing sounds, the leaves of the whole tree turned yellow and withered in an instant, and fell like rain.

Patting her on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, the man said in a deep voice, "Go back, I think what we saw should be enough for the patriarch to make the right judgment." ”

The excited feminine emotions finally calmed down, she nodded, and the next moment the two disappeared at the same time.

With the sound of a huge wind, the two behemoths flapped their wings and rose straight into the clouds, disappearing.

Unbeknownst to Konstantin, an even greater catastrophe has crept in......

*********************************************************************

Qinghai Province is located outside the secluded mountains.

The sand layer on the ground slowly bulged up, and with a crackling sound, the earth and stone broke open, and Zhang Lie and Xuan Zhong had jumped out. Looking at the empty surroundings, Zhang Lie stretched out with relief.

He guessed correctly, there were monsters sent by the Extinction Meng everywhere near the mountain, and if it weren't for Xuanzhong's help, he might have to have a lot of trouble sneaking in. However, this is already within the scope of the secluded mountain, and those monsters dare not approach.

Looking up at the barren mountain shrouded in dense fog in front of him, Zhang Lie took a deep breath and strode over. After taking two steps, he turned around strangely, only to see that Xuanzhong was still hesitating in place.

"What's wrong? Let's go. Zhang Lie beckoned to him.

Xuan Zhong showed a frightened expression: "Xuan Zhong doesn't want to see Jian Xian, I, I'd better go by myself." "Seeing the way he looked, he wanted to turn around and run away.

Unexpectedly, he was afraid of Jian Xian like this, Zhang Lie was angry and funny, he stepped up and grabbed Xuanzhong: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask Jian Xian to let you go, if you are caught after escaping like this, you will be punished again." As he spoke, he dragged Xuanzhong in.

Stepping into the valley, a thick yin cyclone is about to envelop the two of them. Zhang Lie continued to move forward by feeling, and after about half a pillar of incense, he only felt that his eyes were clear, but he had already walked into the middle of the canyon in the north.

To his surprise, not far ahead, the colorful Qiu Hong sat elegantly on a big rock and looked at him with a smile, as if he had come to greet him. Smiling slightly, Zhang Lie swaggered over: "It's embarrassing to let the beauty of Qiuhong greet you in person." ”

Laughing coquettishly by him, Qiu Hong Yingying got up and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Lie: "Mr. Zhang Lie is still so funny, the corpse king is waiting for you, please come with me." ”

Zhang Lie was not at all surprised why the King of the Corpse knew that he was coming, there was nothing to hide from him within the confines of the secluded mountain. There was no extra nonsense, and he immediately followed Qiu Hong towards the Two Realms Peak.

Neither of them spoke along the way, Zhang Lie followed behind Qiu Hong easily on the surface, but in fact, his heart was never calm for a moment. His original intention was to go to see Jian Xian first, ask him for some advice, and then go to see the King of the Corpse, so that he could have a number in his heart, but he was picked up by Qiu Hong as soon as he entered the mountain.

Zhang Lie didn't think that empty words could really convince the King of the Corpse to continue to support him, what he needed was to reformulate the terms of the negotiation. But this plan became passive because the Vishing Corpse King took the first step, and he didn't even know how to speak for a while.

Knowing that he had to delay time, Zhang Lie suddenly said: "Xuan Zhong is Jian Xian's entourage, let me send him to Jian Xian first and then go to meet the Corpse King." ”

As if knowing his intentions, Qiu Hong turned his head and smiled: "The Corpse King has already sent someone to invite Jian Xian, and you can see him in the Yang Cave in a while." ”

There was no way out, Zhang Lie had no choice but to continue with her obediently. After a moment, he asked unwillingly, "What did the corpse king do when he saw me?" ”

In fact, this is what Zhang Lie has always wondered about, he did not complete the conditions required by the King of the Corpse, why is he still in a hurry to see him? Isn't it just to say, "I'm disappointed in you, get out of here?"

Qiu Hong still refused to reveal, but said, "You'll know when you see the Corpse King in a while." ”

Zhang Lie snorted to express his dissatisfaction, and he was about to continue to apply Qiuhong's words, when suddenly a stirring spirit in his heart suddenly came to mind, and a very terrible thought suddenly came to mind. Could it be that Annihilation had reached an agreement with the King of the Corpses, and this time he was specifically lured into a trap to be killed?

But he quickly dismissed the idea. Let's not talk about whether the King of the Corpse will deal with him with Annihilation, if he really wants to kill himself, he doesn't have to go to such great lengths, as long as he enters the secluded mountain, he can't escape at all.

After thinking about it, they had already embarked on the path to the peak of the two realms, but at this moment Zhang Lie calmed down, and since he had come, he was safe, and since he could not escape, he faced it calmly.

After a short time, Qiu Hong made a "please come in" gesture to Zhang Lie, and said at the same time: "You go in alone, this big man is waiting outside." ”

In fact, Xuanzhong didn't want to go into this gloomy cave, so he nodded busily and ran to the side and sat down. Signaling him to wait in peace, Zhang Lie took a deep breath before striding in.
