Chapter 20: Chill Wind, Blizzard, Samurai and Necromancer!

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Heavy snow followed for five days, and the entire town of Hakuba was covered in a thick layer of snow, and when you looked out of the window, you could only see a white expanse.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Lilith finally brought back the news.

"A sister spotted Sellers on a fishing boat on the Coldwater River, five miles west of the town.

"Traces on the ship show that he has been living on the ship these days and has never left."

"And now?" Chapole was in good spirits.

"Yes, it's still there. My sister was very cautious and did not leave any traces during the investigation. ”

Xia Bolai grinned: "Very good~ Lao Tzu waited for everyone to get fat, and finally found this thief!" ”

He straightened up, jumped up from the chair, turned to Rosen, and said, "Little guy, you are waiting for me here, at most 1 hour, I will definitely slaughter that guy!" ”

As he spoke, he strode towards the window, pushed it open, and jumped straight out.

A series of movements were amazingly fast, and when Lawson ran to the window and wanted to stop him, he found that the other party had run more than fifty meters away.

Looking from afar from the window, Chapole looked like a big mouse with black hair, arching and arching, and quickly ran away.

Rosen frowned: "Mr. Shabolai is too impulsive! ”

Lilith was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem?" Xia Bolai is a powerful high-level samurai, isn't it safe to deal with a low-level mage? ”

This is naturally true, but how could such a cunning guy as Cyrus leave such obvious traces?

Rosen had a strong feeling that the fishing boat was just a decoy to divert the tiger.

As soon as Shapole, the strongman, is gone, Sellers will come out against him.

When he kills himself, he will naturally fly away, and even if Xia Bolai goes all over the world to vent his hatred, will he still be able to survive?

Driven by this strong sense of crisis, Lawson quickly put on his leather boots, put on a windproof cloak, and then jumped out of the window under Lilith's surprised gaze.

Outside the window, the snow on the ground was so thick that it reached to the knees, and because of the heavy snow, there were almost no pedestrians in the town, and there was a very obvious line of footprints in the snow, indicating the direction of Chapole.

After landing, Lawson followed his footprints, running wildly on the snow with his hands and feet.

Through his observations these days, he knew that in the entire town of Whitehorse, only Shabol had the ability and willingness to protect himself, and no one else could count on him.

If Xia Bolai falls for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, then he is already in danger.

The only way to save yourself is to leave the inn immediately and try to catch up with Shabolai.

Even a little closer can greatly increase the chances of survival.

He ran hundreds of meters in one go, and he was already exhausted and out of breath, and his feet were like lead.

He's not in good shape!

When he was desperate in his heart, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps in his ears, and a figure chased after him.

It was Lilith in leather armor.

She hadn't figured it out yet, and still looked at Rosen in puzzlement: "Did something happen?" ”

Lawson didn't have time to explain in detail, and shouted: "Take me to Shabolai!" Take me to Shabolai! ”

"Why?"

"Miss Lilith, there's no time to hesitate, hurry!" Lawson yelled in a hurry.

"Since you're insisting, okay then."

Lilith walked up to Rosen and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

Rosen immediately complied.

Once he was seated, Lilith began to run wildly in the snow.

She is a spider apostle, and she has been trained as a samurai since she was a child, and her physical strength and skill are far beyond ordinary people, and although the ground is covered with deep snow, it has not affected her movements.

Even if he carried a person, his running speed was not much slower than that of the previous Charbole.

Seeing the scenery on the side of the road receding rapidly, and the icy cold wind mixed with snow particles rushing towards his face, Lawson felt a little relieved.

But he was still on his guard, looking left and right, beware of a possible sneak attack from the shadows.

This vigilance worked.

When Lilith ran out of about 500 meters and passed by a remote alley, Lawson saw out of the corner of his eye that a gray figure seemed to flash quickly in the alley.

Immediately after, a ball of light rushed out of the alley silently.

The orb of light is a strange color, the inner layer is dark green, but the outer layer is surrounded by a grayish-white light similar to a flame.

Then there were changes.

The ball of light is not one, but two, no, three!

They drew a smooth curve through the air and rushed towards Lawson's back.

"Beware of sneak attacks!"

"It's a mutant missile triple hit!"

Lawson yelled!

In the next moment, he felt a strong force surging from under him, pushing him diagonally and flying out, smashing through the wall of a wooden house on the side of the road and crashing straight into the house.

There was a large family living in the house, and the sudden change made the family scream loudly.

Lawson didn't have time to explain, and after landing, his body rolled quickly on the ground.

Looking up at the hole in the wooden wall behind her, she saw Lilith spin a few times in the snow, dodging three missiles in succession.

The missile hit the snow with a muffled 'poof' sound.

One of the missiles landed on the snow in Lawson's field of vision.

Rosen clearly saw that the thick snow melted in an instant, and a hole about 1 meter in diameter appeared, and on the water surface of the hole, there were strange gray flames burning slowly.

Lilith was startled, and she shouted, "Rosen, run!" ”

Needless to say, Lawson got up with his hands and feet, and rushed towards the front door of the cabin.

'Bang Dang~'

He rushed out of the wooden gate and entered a small square courtyard, the courtyard was surrounded by wooden houses, only there was a wooden door on the right, which should be the exit of the courtyard.

Lawson rushed towards the wooden door with all his might, pulled the deadbolt, opened the door and rushed out.

Outside the door is an alley less than 2 meters wide, and there is snow on the ground of the alley, but most of it has been cleared, except for a little slippery, it basically does not affect the run.

He strode and ran as fast as he could.

The alley is not long, go straight and then turn left, and you will enter the main street, which is covered with very thick snow, but the ground under the eaves of the wooden houses on both sides is relatively clean.

Lawson ran all the way against the wall.

After running for a while, I saw a brown figure flashing beside me, but it was Lilith who chased after me.

As soon as Lilith stretched out her hand, she directly picked up Lawson, threw it on her back, and continued to run with it.

"Are you hurt?" Rosen asked.

"Hide quickly, don't get hit."

Lilith was also in shock.

After taking a few breaths, she added, "I just saw him." Looking at the clothes, it should be Cyrus, but his appearance has changed a lot, his face is gray, his pupils are like two gray flames, and his body is very thin, as if he is a skeleton! ”

Rosen was surprised, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but because he hadn't seen the other person's appearance with his own eyes, he couldn't deduce more information.

He could only ask, "Why is this happening?" ”

"It must have absorbed the power of the ashes bird's feathers. Now he is far stronger than in the past, we can't be opponents at all, we can only run! ”

"Ember bird feathers?" Rosen heard the word for the second time, the last time it was said by Chapole.

"The Ash Bird, a descendant of the Immortal Bird, is a legendary beast with the terrifying power of ash contained in its feathers. Even a faint trace can transform a mortal's body and increase its strength significantly. ”

"The current Cyrus not only has a surge in mana, but also carries the ash polarity that can be produced after the combination of necromancy and flame, which is very terrifying!"

Lilith explained as she ran.

Although Cyrus has become stronger, his speed does not seem to have increased much, and after one sneak attack, the second wave of attacks has never appeared.

"He shouldn't be able to catch up with us."

Lilith looked rejoicing, turned the corner again, and followed in Shabolai's footsteps once more.

The Hanshui River was 5 miles west of the town, and after Lilith ran with Lawson on her back for more than ten minutes, a large frozen river appeared in her field of vision.

In the reeds and grass by the river, a dilapidated fishing boat with a straw shed is stranded.

And on the ice not far away, two people stood nearly 100 meters apart.

One of them, short and stocky, holding a crystal blue demon slaying knife, was none other than Shaporai.

And the other, with a pointed bowler, a gray cloth cloak, and a wooden staff in his hand, was Cyrus!

Lilith exclaimed, "How can there be two Cyruses?" ”

Rosen's mind raced, and a possibility suddenly came to mind: "I'm afraid that the necromantic puppet in the town is the resurrected necromantic puppet of Cyrus!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in Lilith's eyes.

"I see, the power of ash has the combined polarity of fire and necromancy, and both are very strong. If Cyrus knows necromancy, the power of the spell will skyrocket after blessing the power of the ashes! ”

As if to respond to her words, the snow on the side suddenly burst open, and a pale palm full of mud stretched out!
