"Miss Carter, we don't seem to have had a lot of luck. That's it when we encounter a third-order calamity, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to return to Lion City alive."

"Heh, don't look at me with that look, I've been lucky since I was a child. Find out more about your own reasons. ”

"Why don't you go first? Your injuries are lighter than mine, and you may be safer without me holding you down. ”

"I want to hear, 'I'm leaving, you're going to die.'" You have helped me, I will not give up on you', or do you want to hear 'My current fate is entangled with you, and cooperation has a chance to live'? ”

"Hahaha, I'll pick the first one. Poof."

“.”

Ji Xun just wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

The ruins of the city, under the broken walls of a ruined building.

The two embarrassed figures had been hiding for a long time.

A few words of small talk can be regarded as a pleasure in suffering.

Originally, both of them had a smooth journey.

But for some reason, all of a sudden, there was a lot of fighting in the ruins of the city.

Ji Xun and the others were not stupid, they guessed that those people were coming to them.

So the two of them walked all the way to a place where no one was.

But those places that are off the beaten track often mean danger.

Just now, I was unlucky, and I ran into a group of monsters.

Among them, there is also a third-order zombie calamity.

Originally, that kind of monster didn't pose much of a threat to either of them, but unfortunately both of them were seriously injured.

Chased by monsters all the way, he finally killed the calamity, and the injuries of the two became what they are now.

Caterina barely walked.

Ji Xun didn't know what was wrong in the battle just now, and his lower body was already unconscious, almost paralyzed.

If there is another battle like this, the two of them will have to explain on the spot.

The footsteps of the monsters around them were still very dense, and they didn't dare to go out, so they hurried to heal their injuries.

Caterina wrapped the injury on her arm with gauze, turned her eyes to look at Ji Xun, who was supported by mechanical bones, and said, "Your injury is very serious." If left untreated, I'm afraid it will be terrible. ”

Ji Xun corrected her statement with a smile and said, "It won't be bad. but will surely die. ”

He is now considered "proficient in advanced medical knowledge", and he knows his situation all too well.

Not to mention trauma.

The abnormal energy in the body does not disappear, and it always feels like dancing in front of death, and it will be taken away by a sickle at any time.

But he can't eliminate it now.

The potion in his hand was completely useless.

The only way he could think of that was Cell Activity Boiling.

But this secret method is the legendary fifty-two demon god forbidden arts.

But it was the second-order "epidemic doctor" Hesse who comprehended it from the copper sheet, and the law level was too low.

It doesn't solve the problem at all.

And the biggest threat right now isn't monsters, it's any human in the ruins.

Ji Xun's optimistic tone was relaxed, as if it was not himself who was going to die, and Caterina looked slightly different when she heard it.

But her own condition is not good.

A gold coin flipped at her fingertips, and her expression grew more and more solemn.

It can be regarded as a shared tribulation, and Caterina did not shy away from the family treasure [Destiny Gold Coins] passed down to him by her grandfather.

Ji Xun had seen this rare fifth-level relic before.

But I didn't ask for privacy.

Now seeing that Katerina's expression was so serious, it didn't matter if he thought about it, he casually asked, "What's the matter, the divination has a very bad result?" ”

Caterina shook her head, a hint of depth in her eyes, and said in an uncertain tone, "The situation is pretty bad. But it seems that fate has been disturbed by something, and I can't tell how to choose the way forward. ”

This is a situation she has never encountered.

Before that, the simple choice of using this gold coin to divinate bad luck should have a general direction no matter what.

But now it's blurred.

It seems that some mysterious force is interfering.

It gives people the feeling that there is a big hand covering the top of their head, and they can't see anything in the future.

Originally thinking about it, Katerina's mind turned, and suddenly looked at Ji Xun, "Why don't you help me try it?" ”

Ji Xun was also very interested when he heard this: "Can I still try this?" ”

Caterina nodded, "Yes." Divination is sometimes more accurate with the blessing of other people's luck. What's more, now we are in a cooperative relationship, and we are connected by luck. ”

As she spoke, she directly handed over the gold coin of destiny and said, "Just throw it." The human head is 'auspicious', and the word represents 'fierce'. ”

"Okay."

Ji Xun didn't ink when he heard it, so he threw the gold coin casually.

The gold coin rolled in the air with a pleasant crisp sound, and landed in his hand with a snap.

It is the side of the "word".

Seeing this result, neither of them had any surprises.

In this situation, it is strange to be able to divinate a "auspicious".

However, Caterina just wanted to get the gold back.

Suddenly, something strange happened!

The gold coin that had been steadily flattened in Ji Xun's palm trembled strangely.

And then

Under the shocked gaze of the two, it was strangely erected!

“？？？”

When Caterina saw this, her blue pupils shrank suddenly.

She looked at the upright gold coin in disbelief for two seconds.

Then she looked up at Ji Xun again.

In an instant, it was as if the color of the world had changed from color to gray.

The tremendous pressure of death made her breathe heavily.

Touching her eyes, Ji Xun vaguely guessed something from her trembling pupils, but her tone was still calm and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Caterina pondered for a moment, and spat out only two words: "Extremely fierce." ”

Ji Xun's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened.

He had never seen such a serious and heavy expression on the face of the eldest lady of the Lionheart.

After pondering for a moment, he confirmed: "What does 'extremely fierce and knowing' mean? ”

Caterina couldn't hear any emotion in her tone, and put it another way: "Surely death." ”

Ji Xun's expression froze for only a moment when he listened, as if he immediately accepted this result.

He didn't see any worry on his face, but asked in a joking tone, "Will it not work?" ”

Caterina shook her head and said softly, "This gold coin was given to my Lionheart family grandfather by Senior Xu two hundred years ago. ”

Hearing this, Ji Xun also realized the seriousness of the problem: "Oh. ”

Old man Xu gave it, and there is a high probability that it is accurate.

Just oh?

Caterina was still thinking about where this death would come from.

But listening to Ji Xun's light response, she suddenly thought of something else, turned her face and asked, "How did I find out, why can't you see fear at any time?" ”

Now it's a dead end!

Dead, you know?!

Life will be like a vase, shattered with a bang.

Never again.

Ji Xun looked at her as if she had been curious for a long time, smiled, and said what she thought in her heart, "Since it is a dead end, I am thinking, what posture will I die in this world." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to have imagined some kind of picture, "I hope. There was a splendid and wonderful curtain call. ”

Caterina frowned when she heard this, and felt that this answer was a bit ridiculous: "You're not scared at all?" ”

Now there is no unfathomable senior Xu, and he doesn't have anything to protect his life, and the city is full of enemies.

In this situation, she herself can't see any hope of solving the situation.

This is also true for Ji Xun.

The [Substitute for the Dead Strawman] card was consumed, and the Weeping Angel was also snatched away, and he was still seriously injured, and there was no worse state than now.

But Ji Xun was still very calm, and asked rhetorically, "What are you afraid of?" Afraid you're going to lose your life? ”

Thinking about it, he shook his head, and with a nonchalant chuckle on the corner of his mouth, he said, "If there is no choice." I will look for some joy as much as I can at the end of my life. ”

Lonely men and widows, dark city ruins, this environment will always make people's thoughts fly.

Hearing this, Caterina obviously misunderstood his out-of-the-box words, and glanced at him strangely: What do you want to do?

"Huh."

Ji Xun didn't explain the misunderstanding of this Lionheart Lady, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she looked at her with a playful expression.

Caterina looked at his expression and knew she was overthinking.

But it is this kind of freedom in the face of death that seems to be infectious, and the emotions that were apprehensive just now have calmed down a lot.

It seems that from this moment on, she feels that she really knows the guy in front of her.

After divining the worst outcome, the two became more and more calm.

Ji Xun also had to admit that Caterina was a good chat partner.

The knowledge and insight of the young lady of the top aristocratic family are the top in the world.

Occasionally, she can express some of her own opinions about life, ideals, poetry, art, and the meaning of life.

This kind of small talk, without any tentative purpose, made both of them feel very pleasant.

But this dilapidated building is a dense area of monsters, and it can't stay for long.

After a short rest, the injury stabilized a bit, and the two were ready to leave.

Caterina looked at his limp legs and asked, "Can you still walk?" ”

Ji Xun tried it, then shook his head.

The legs were sensitive, but not enough to manipulate the mechanical bones to make him stand up.

Before he could say anything, Caterina pursed her mouth.

It was like doing some kind of ideological struggle, and I hesitated for a moment.

Then she leaned down and began to help disassemble the mechanical exoskeleton, while saying, "Come on, I'll carry you." ”

Ji Xun was not pretentious at all, and grinned: "Okay." ”

It's rare for such a noble lady to put down her body and carry people.

Caterina gave him a blank look.

Disassembling the mechanical skeleton, she squatted on Ji Xun's back.

But the action was very rusty, and when they climbed out of the broken wall, the two almost fell on the ruins together.

Ji Xun took advantage of this to laugh: "I'm going to fall." ”

Caterina ignored it, didn't even turn her face to see her expression, and said quietly, "You guy be content." Growing up, I never carried anyone else. You're still the first. ”

The corners of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly: "No wonder." ”

The first time he climbed on top of a woman, he looked at himself as a wasted person, and his smile was more self-deprecating.

But it seems that at this moment, it is a little clear.

I understood why the mysterious man wanted to hurt himself so badly.

Caterina carried Ji Xun on her back and walked in the ruins.

However, the monsters in this area are already dense, and Ji Xun's "doom gambler" aura has never been lucky.

Not long after they walked, they encountered another wave of monsters.

To make matters worse, the movement of fighting monsters finally attracts people looking for them in the city.

In a short time, the battle was over.

But the trouble has just begun.

There were five corpses on the ground.

The corpse's forehead was covered with a bloody hole.

This is an elite reconnaissance team, all of them are card masters of the first and second order assassin department.

Although Ji Xun and Caterina were seriously injured, they also easily eliminated the team.

However, Caterina looked at the equipment of the corpse on the ground, her expression was extremely serious, and said, "Now it's troublesome, this is the professional reconnaissance team of the Lionheart's 'Wolf Hunting Legion'." Generally, it is a formation of the front 2, the middle 3, and the back 2. That is, two more ran away. When they found us, the news had already been sent back. ”

"Oh."

Ji Xun looked at it and looked helpless.

This formation is to prevent the reconnaissance team from being wiped out.

He had tried his best to settle the battle just now, but he still let people run.

The execution of professional scouts and idle hunters can be very different.

They appeared in the ruins, which means that the ruins are now arranged in a grid, and there are scout teams everywhere.

It's normal to be discovered.

Caterina was well aware of the combat effectiveness of her own legion, and said: "This elite reconnaissance team appeared in the ruins, it must be that someone in the city has sent an emergency war mobilization. My uncles and brothers, I'm afraid that at this moment, they have mobilized all the forces they can mobilize and will not let me return to the city alive. ”

Ji Xun didn't care when he heard this, he didn't press down if there were many enemies.

Caterina thought for a moment, and then said, "The only good news is that I didn't reveal much of the means just now. The top of the legion is not sure that it must be us, and it may not be the first time to come to the top masters. ”

As she spoke, she sighed slightly: "Let's go, the first wave of pursuers will come soon." Once it is dragged, it is a big trouble. ”

Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”

The two didn't complain much.

After all, I have already been mentally prepared.

Now that the position is exposed, we have to try to see if we can rush out before being surrounded again.

However, the truth is just as bad as the situation with divination.

After all, Caterina is a card master in the Department of Magic, and she is injured and can't run fast.

The two of them didn't have long to run before they realized that they were being hung by the scout behind them.

Those guys didn't have the intention of doing anything, so they hung far away.

Ji Xun was easy to kill when he was in his heyday, but now he is completely helpless.

It didn't take long for one to become several.

The movement was locked by this well-trained legion, and there was no concealment at all in the tracks of Ji Xun and the two.

It didn't take long for a team of hundreds of people to stop them.

In the dim streets, a thick fog fills the air.

The two sides confronted each other in the dilapidated streets.

People before and after.

There were two lonely guys stuck in the middle.

Ji Xun's face turned pale and he was lying on Katerina's back.

He looked at the guys not far away who were not wearing the military uniforms of the Lionheart, but their eyes were as sharp as blades, and their expressions were playful.

The professional legion really didn't give it a chance.

The encirclement was very decisive.

There is no escape.

Caterina's expression was similarly calm.

She looked at the leader opposite, lifted her gas mask, revealed a head of blond hair and a beautiful face, and said coldly: "Lieutenant Colonel Burton, what's the matter, you don't know me?" ”

Although everyone on the other side was wearing gas masks, Caterina knew every high-ranking general of the Lionheart family, and she could name them.

She recognized at a glance this elite retainer of her eldest brother's family.

Hearing this, hundreds of people on the other side were silent.

The lieutenant colonel named Bolton naturally did not dare to answer.

Pretending to be stupid can also fool the past, if you really want to spread the news that the retainers ambushed and killed the high-ranking nobles, no one can protect him.

Although he was given the order, after all, no one dared to be the first to hurt the Lionheart "Silver Mist Rose" in front of him, who never dared to offend!

The situation immediately became a stalemate.

On the cold streets, hundreds of black holes of guns were aimed at the two of them, and the killing was like a substance.

In front of him, there is a high probability that it is the dead end of divination.

But even so.

The expressions of the two were still extremely indifferent.

At this time, Ji Xun said lightly: "Let me down." ”

Caterina also knew what he meant and slowly let go.

Wait any longer, there will be more and more enemies, and this will be more and more unfavorable for the two of them.

If you do it now, you may be able to get a head start.

The only good news is that, as they expected, there are no top powerhouses coming yet.

But the bad news is that this Bolton is fourth-order.

Caterina put Ji Xun down, and immediately made a choice, saying, "I'm going to use that magic mystic." ”

Ji Xun knew what she was referring to, she had said that magic mystery in the secret realm before, a desperate means of using her soul to trade with the demon god.

If you use it, you will almost die.

Although he knew that the eldest lady had made up his mind, he also smiled, and finally said: "If you are captured alive by these people, you may not necessarily die." ”

Hearing this, Caterina looked disdainful, her slender neck raised slightly, and she said proudly and calmly: "I have been accompanied by flowers all the way in this life, and this journey is still the same."

As soon as these words came out, an inexplicable domineering aura suddenly rose on her body.

Ji Xun inexplicably felt familiar, like seeing the figure in the highest seat of the Federation in the dream of the ghost building.

She stood at the top of power, and her eyes looked at the world.

Then for a moment, I only heard her domineering muttering: "I said I was not a caged bird!" ”

At the end of her life, she seemed to suddenly bloom with dazzling brilliance.

It is like fireworks in the dark night, rising into the sky, brilliant and beautiful.

At the last moment of her life, she did not choose to wither and decay, but bloomed into the most gorgeous flower.

Ji Xun's eyes reflected the back of the blond hair, and he suddenly grinned, and his eyes gradually became hideous and crazy.

And the next moment, Caterina's crystal eyes were already cold, and she shouted softly: "Demon solution!" ”

Looking at it again, the Demon God Phantom behind her, which was more condensed than the Demon God Phantom in the secret realm before, appeared impressively.

An indescribable aura swept through the icy streets in an instant.

At the same time, the note spell marks on her skin turned from white to brilliant gold.

At this moment, she is like a rose blooming to the extreme, beautiful and bewitching.

Caterina was slowly floated in the air by a strange sound wave, her robe hunting, and her breath was getting higher and higher.

It's so high that it's as if the will of a demon god has descended on this world.

Almost instantly, the half-human, half-fishtail demon god phantom behind her seemed to come to life, and her fingers gently plucked the harp in her hand.

In an instant, a sound that seemed to come from the underworld sounded.

Katerina's aura had reached an almost ethereal level, as if listening to a soft chant: "Demon God Forbidden Technique: Thirteen Death Sonatas of Themier." ”

As soon as this technique was condensed, the face of the fourth-order Lieutenant Colonel Bolton opposite changed dramatically in an instant!
