42 CHAPTER 42
Mephistopheles was extremely alert, and as soon as Moeller spoke, he bounced away from where he was lying, but he was still a step slower, and after a flash of light, he was heard to snort, as if he was wounded. Vina and Siffi were not asleep even when they were sleeping, and they bounced up when they heard the movement, only to see a figure that almost blended into the night and was wrestling with Mephistopheles, who was a little staggering, and Siffei raised the bow and crossbow in her hand and shot it with an arrow.
The speed of the crossbow arrow was extremely fast, and Siffi's accuracy was also very good, even if it was shot in a hurry, the black shadow still couldn't dodge. However, when the crossbow bolt hit the black shadow, it heard a "ding" sound of metal impact, and it did not enter the flesh, as if it was guarded by something like armor.
However, the black shadow paused because of the strength of the arrow, creating a respite for Mephistopheles. When Mephistopheles pulled away, Moller commanded the Gale Demon Wolf to pounce, stopping the shadow with countless blades.
Moller sent Patana, the Gale wolf, out to attack, but he pounced on Rex and Chris, and the protective magic crystals he had prepared in his hands were stirred up to form a shield to protect the three of them in the center. When he is in danger, he naturally focuses on protecting the three people on his side.
At this time, a scream was heard, and Moller looked up, only to see Siffi lying on the ground, with the same moonhook throwing knife used by Vina in her chest, and Vina picked up Sifphie's crossbow and frantically pounced on it and shot at the black shadow.
It turned out that the black shadow actually caught the flying knife thrown by Vina with his bare hand, and threw the flying knife at Sifei with his backhand, and Sifei, who couldn't dodge, was killed on the spot!
Vena completely disregarded her life and death at this time, standing very close to the battle group and shooting, there was a danger of being affected by the attack at any time, but she had no intention of dodging at all, just focused on shooting the black shadow - her archery skills were not as good as Siffe's, even if she held a good hand crossbow, she only had a chance to pose a threat to the powerful black shadow if she got close. And the black shadow was attacked by Mephistopheles and the Gale Demon Wolf at this time, and for a while, he couldn't find a chance to kill her, but was shot by her with two arrows, although he still didn't break through the defense, but he also suffered pain.
The black shadow muffled, and was about to withdraw when he saw that he could not do anything, when a person suddenly pounced on the oblique side, who looked exactly like Mephistopheles, but was in a semi-rotten state, one eye protruded from the socket and hung on his cheek, maggots rolled in his mouth, and the weapon in his hand was actually a piece of intestines......
Such a scene, even if it is known to be an illusion effect, it is very scary to suddenly appear in front of it, the black shadow can't help but be stunned, and the gale demon wolf is just at this time to spew out a wind blade turbulence, and the time is not allowed to grasp, this is a tacit cooperation between Moeller and his own demon pet Tongguò spiritual connection.
The shadow changed its movements, and instead crashed into the zombie version of Mephistopheles that Moller had conjured up, which seemed to him to be nothing, and it was just right to avoid the turbulence of the wind blade.
However, just as the black shadow was about to collide with the zombie version of Mephistopheles, the zombie Mephistopheles suddenly raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Smack!"
Rex, who was not far away, subconsciously covered the back of his head when he saw this scene, the reason why Moeller practiced the physical attack illusion was to train (tiao) to practice it, and this trick in the back of Ba's head was simply a must-have program, and it was also made perfect by Moeller.
Where did the black shadow think that it was obviously an illusion, and it could still hit him, and it was such a fragile part of the back of the head, the whole person immediately trembled in shock, and when his illusion attack actually didn't have much power, it was too late, and the real Mephistopheles stepped forward, and the long sword in his hand went straight to his vital point.
The black shadow blocked it with the dagger in his hand, relying on Mephistopheles's injury and inconvenience, and his body retreated sharply and tried to escape again.
At this time, the assassination was considered a failure, and the black shadow was in a hurry to escape, just to hide and wait for an opportunity to do it again - the darkness is the world of the assassins, with the skills of this black shadow, as long as he escaped, Moeller and the others must always be on guard against him, trembling along the way, until he was exhausted and was defeated one by one by him, and finally the whole army was destroyed!
However, seeing that the black shadow was about to disappear into the darkness, Mephistopheles's waist suddenly burst out of a silver light, which catapulted up like a spirit snake, wrapping the black shadow around his waist.
"Ahh
The black shadow, which had been silent like a shadow from beginning to end, let out an uncontrollable scream at this time, and the whole person was frozen to the ground, and there was no strength to escape.
"Good job!" Moeller happily patted Chris next to him, this silver light is actually Chris's nebula chain, although they released Mephistopheles because of their cooperation before, but they were not at ease after all, so Chris's nebula chain has been wrapped around Mephistopheles's waist, but it has no power and does not affect his actions. Unexpectedly, this time it happened to be a miracle trick and played a decisive role.
The captured shadow was dead before Mephistopheles touched him, black as if it had been soaked in ink, and Chris was so frightened that he hid behind Moller, but Rex yawned and looked absent-minded.
Mephistopheles lifted the mask that the corpse was wearing on its face, revealing only its eyes, and glanced at it, and said with certainty: "It's a killer secretly cultivated by the royal family." I really look up to me, a killer of this strength is generally only qualified by other members of the royal family!"
If it weren't for the fact that Moller had lived in the jungle for more than ten years as a monster and had an extraordinary perception of danger, I am afraid that this killer would have successfully assassinated Mephistopheles. And if it weren't for the fact that they had a high-level demonic beast, a high-level demonic warrior, and a surprise ninth-order magic item, this killer could have left safely and would never have died here.
The killer was wearing a set of extremely high-quality alchemy armor, and in Moller's eyes, it was at least a seventh-order magic item, no wonder it could defend against Siffi's crossbow arrows, and the pitch-black dagger in his hand, and nothing else.
"Young Master, your wounds are still bleeding!"
Vina, who still had tears on her face, walked over and looked nervously at Mephistopheles's wound on her left rib, obviously having drunk the potion, but it had not healed.
Mephistopheles waved his hand indifferently and said, "The wound caused by the bloodthirsty dagger is like this, and it will be cleaned with a potion to treat external injuries." As he spoke, he walked over to Sifie's corpse and watched in silence.
No one spoke for a while, and the night breeze looked particularly bleak.
It occurred to Moeller that this escape could actually be said to be caused by him, and if it weren't for his unwillingness to return the magic items that Mephistopheles had shielded and located, there would never have been so much danger along the way.
However, this guilt and self-blame just flashed in his mind, and soon he let his heart harden coldly, glanced at Mephistopheles's tall and handsome back, and thought to himself, handsome is handsome enough, but it is not enough to gain the trust of the master!
Moeller was sure that he was right in his decision to refuse to return the pendant, and if he had blindly trusted and handed the deadly murder weapon to the enemy, it would not be his turn to stand here and look at the corpses of others and sigh.
Anyway, he came to provoke me, and I should bear the consequences by myself!
Mephistopheles swung his sword and slashed a few times on the ground, and the powerful magic contained in the attack of the high-level demon warrior created a large pit in the ground, and he buried Sifi in the pit, and then accepted Vina's service, cleaned his wound, and bandaged it again, and sure enough, the wound no longer bled anymore.
Because Mephistopheles was wounded, the second half of the night was also a vigil for Moller, and the next morning, the group went out again, and finally arrived at the Windhorn Canyon before noon.
The geographical location of the Wind Horn Canyon is just located in the windy area, and it is the shape of a bell mouth, so the wind is whistling all the year round and is enough to fly the sand and stones, there is no grass on both sides of the canyon, the wind blows through the bare mountains and rocks, and the sound is as if countless people are crying miserably, and this is how the name of the Wind Horn Canyon comes from.
Below the canyon is a large and fast-flowing river. The river with a large drop, the undulating riverbed covered with boulders, and the abundant flow of water make the whole river look like a white monster made of countless splashes, rushing and jumping through the canyon in groups, and there is hardly any calm section of the river to be seen at a glance.
The canyon is not very steep, at least there is a road to the bottom of the valley, and when you reach the big river, the sound of the rushing river makes everyone have to shout.
Mephistopheles took out a few sheepskin airbags, and the sheepskin airbags filled with air were wrapped with more than a dozen layers of raw cowhide, which were as square and bulging as a pillow, and were connected together by Mephistopheles with ropes to form a string of rafts for rafting.
"Are you sure we can float in this river without drowning?" Moeller yelled at Mephistopheles.
"Don't worry, I've drifted before, at least I'm alive now!" Mephistopheles replied with a similar yell.
Moeller had no choice but to prepare for rafting. First, take out a top lid and a box inlaid with green gems on all sides, and walk towards your pet.
"No! I don't want to get into that damn box!" Patana shook his head and shouted at him with mental power as he took a few steps back, looking ready to run away.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of crossing this rapid, and I'll let you out as soon as you get to the gentle river. Moller patiently comforted her. This box is a tool for the magic pet from Zabil, called the Sealing Box, which is used to seal the magic pet so that it can be carried around.
The magic pet is in a static dormant state in the sealing box, and there will be no pain, but this kind of seal can't be too long, one is that a long time of sealing is not good for the life state of the magic pet, and the other is that the seal also needs to consume mana, once the magic power of the magic box is consumed too much, the seal will be automatically lifted!
Patana didn't like the involuntary stillness of hibernation, and although she didn't feel anything, she just didn't like it. Moeller said a lot of good things and promised a lot of benefits, so she gritted her teeth and agreed to be sealed in.
It's not that he can't force his demon pet to accept the seal, it's just that Moeller has made up his mind to pay attention to cultivating his demon pet as a partner, so he is naturally unwilling to use such a coercive method.
Zabil was tied to the bank of the river by Mephistopheles, watching the interaction between Moeller and the Gale Demon Wolf, and at the same time, he was sad, but he had to admit that this terrible boy was indeed more talented as a beast master than he was - the Gale Demon Wolf had never been so vivid in front of him!
When he arrived at the Windhorn Canyon, Mephistopheles said that he would release Zabir here, just to tie him up and those ordinary demon wolves, so that they would not walk on the front foot, and the back foot guy would find a way to ventilate the news.
Moeller had no objection to this, he saw that Zabil's watch was not surprised, he must have expected his treatment, thinking that this kid was also from an ancient aristocratic family, presumably this was a tacit understanding between nobles, Mephistopheles would not kill him as long as it was unnecessary, so as not to create an endless blood feud between the two families.
