Chapter 154: Rooftop Chat
The plan is simple to say, but there is a lot to consider when it comes to actually executing it.
First of all, it is necessary to find a way to hide the breath of the living before the other party approaches, and secondly, after a quick kill, there is also a way to resist the subsequent attack of the rotting corpse. Although it is possible that without the control of the criminal corpse robbers, the remaining rotting corpses may be scattered in a hurry, but no one can guarantee the specific situation.
Everyone's lives are at stake, and this back road must be left behind.
Several points were discussed together, and seeing that it was not early, the group acted quickly.
After re-entering the town, the thick black aura of death lingered again. Lu Chengfeng has infinite frost fighting qi to protect his body, and he is not afraid at all. The exorcist girl and the retinue of the priesthood often deal with this, so naturally they are not affected. The other five members of the investigation team were more cautious, turning on their fighting qi early and constantly resisting the erosion of their aura.
Going all the way deeper, the dozens of carrion corpses that had pursued them before had disappeared again, and the town had become a ghost town again.
In this gloomy environment, there is a sense of urgency in everyone. After turning around for half a circle, at Lu Chengfeng's suggestion, they stopped in front of the mercenary union in the town.
The location is superb, next to the crossroads, which can be attacked and defended. Moreover, there is a simple courtyard outside the hall of the union. A little bit of setting up will help them hide. If the evil corpse robber doesn't come out, it's fine, as long as he goes out to wander, there is a good chance that ** will pass by the intersection near here.
The exorcist girl was also happy with this place and was the first to walk in.
Since it is the most lively here, and there are also several masters of the town, the resistance of the mercenary union is the fiercest. Not only was there a large amount of dried blood on the ground, but there were also many fragments of limbs around, as well as broken weapons and rotting corpses that had been completely killed. The combination of these makes the union look disgusting.
The priestly entourage was a little unsightly, and raised his hand to activate the holy power to purify the place, but was stopped by the exorcist girl with a frown: "You just go and clean up a small area in the union, you don't need to move these outside." It's a little disgusting, but it helps us to hide. ”
It was clear that the Exorcist Maiden had a much higher status in the Order than this attendant. Seeing her speak, the fourth-order priesthood attendant immediately entered respectfully.
"Several, go in and rest, there will definitely be a fierce battle in the evening. Leave it to me here. ”
Deng Guo came with the exorcist girl, and seemed to know a little about her identity, so he was very relieved to take his men into the house after hearing the words. They were besieged by more than a hundred carrion corpses just now, and their fighting energy was extremely consumed, and they haven't filled it up yet.
Lu Chengfeng doesn't have this concern.
When fighting, although he is full of firepower, various lightsaber skills emerge in endlessly. However, after rushing out of the town, in just a few minutes, all the consumed fighting energy had been recovered. At this moment, he was in good condition, standing aside with his chest crossed, waiting to see what the exorcist girl would deal with.
He had a great curiosity about the Apocalypse Sect that only appeared after he hung up in his previous life.
Of course, the exorcist girl noticed Lu Chengfeng's movements, but she didn't say anything, but went straight into a serious state of work. After taking a look at her surroundings, she took out a stack of yellow broken talisman paper from the pocket of her robe around her waist and pasted it on the union wall with a special rule.
These demon-breaking rune papers have obvious traces of holy power on them. After the girl's special treatment, it was firmly pressed against the wall, and finally turned into black runes.
Eventually, when all the eighteen Broken Talismans were posted, the runes that seemed to be imprinted on the wall lit up together. It lasted for about two or three seconds before disappearing again. But this time, Lu Chengfeng could clearly feel that an invisible energy barrier was bounded by the wall, isolating the inside and outside. Not only was the perception greatly suppressed, but even the black aura of death could hardly penetrate through the energy enchantment.
With such a method, coupled with the camouflage of the bloodstained stumps in the union compound, even if the criminal corpse robbers pass by the walls, they may not be able to find anything.
After arranging this floor, the exorcist girl's face had a little more tired look. Obviously, setting up this thing is not as easy as it seems. However, she didn't stop, and pulled out another stack of pressed rune paper of roughly the same style, but in blue color. This time, she took a few steps back and pasted the pressing talisman paper even further in, not even on the big tree in the courtyard.
Noticing Lu Chengfeng's increasingly curious gaze, she smiled and explained, "The one outside, which can isolate the aura to the greatest extent, has now taken effect. The set I am preparing now can effectively deter rotting corpses after active activation. In this way, after killing the criminal corpse thief, even if a large number of rotting corpses surround us, we can successfully retreat here. With these suppression charms, they will never dare to approach. ”
As she spoke, she pasted the last piece of rune paper on the withered tree, and gently swept it over the rune paper with her green white fingers, drawing a slightly cyan cross of holy power. In the dimness, the light of this cross pierces the black breath, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
According to her, this sigil is the switch that activates the entire set of suppression charms.
A girl who works seriously has a special heroic temperament. When she bent over, the cyan exorcist's robe highlighted the curves of her delicate waist. Mingxi was already young and beautiful, but now he was dressed as an exorcist, which made Lu Chengfeng can't help but feel a little moved.
After taking a few more looks, he found that this girl also seemed to have the charm of the Liu family sisters.
Probably because she was used to the unscrupulous gaze when she went out to practice, the exorcist girl didn't care much about Lu Chengfeng's rather subtle appreciation. She just carefully rechecked her arrangement, and after confirming that it was correct, she clapped her hands and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.
Such a down-and-out generosity made Lu Chengfeng a little embarrassed.
"It's only dark, and there's still a little time before the Evil Corpse Snatcher activity. The exorcist girl looked at the sky, and then took the initiative to send an invitation to Lu Chengfeng: "Let's find a clean place and talk together?"
Although there was some surprise, Lu Chengfeng did not shirk and said: "I am happy." ”
The yard of the union was dirty and smelly, and several houses and furniture in it were also in tatters. If you want to say the cleanest place, it is undoubtedly the roof of the union hall. It is condescending and monitors its surroundings. Although it was a little higher, it was obviously not a problem for the two fifth-order martial artists. After the soft sound of two clothes flying, the two of them sat down on the roof of his mercenary guild.
I remember that in his early twenties in his previous life, Lu Chengfeng often sat on the roof with the pretty maids around him, admiring the moon and drinking, which was extremely comfortable. The scene back then was very similar to what it is now. Moreover, the exorcist girl is even more beautiful than his personal maid. It's a pity that the environment of the town is too poor, there is no silver moon and breeze, and there is a death atmosphere everywhere, which is eerie and terrifying.
It is also thanks to his rebirth once, his heart is firm, and he is completely unaffected by this harsh environment.
It's just that he's only met this exorcist girl, and he doesn't know anything about her, so what should he say?
Just when Lu Chengfeng was secretly thinking about finding a good topic, the girl next to him combed the broken hair in front of her forehead and apologized to him first: "Mr. Lu, please accept my sincere apologies." ”
Apologize?
This sudden unfolding made Lu Chengfeng a little baffled. From the time they met today, there has been no dispute between the two at all. Where do you start with this apology?
"It's not today, it's for our first meeting. The girl saw Lu Chengfeng's doubts and said, "At that time, it was outside my brother's house, and I thought you were just an ordinary mercenary who wanted to find my brother to do something, so I was a little lazy in my heart." Later, I learned that Mr. Lu was not that kind of person at all, and I was shallow. Maybe you didn't take that to heart, but I have to apologize for what I thought. ”
"I thought something was going on...... It's okay, I accept your apology. Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, his mind was not so narrow-minded.
"Thank you for your generosity. There was a mysterious smile on the girl's pretty cheeks, and she suddenly asked, "When you helped us in the afternoon, you used a lightsaber that had been lost for nearly a thousand years, right?"
Has it been discovered?
Lu Chengfeng was a little surprised at first, but when he thought of her background, he was a little relieved. Although the lightsaber is in decline now, it is recorded in the classics of many families, and there are even collections. Because of its unique appearance, most people who have seen it in the classics can recognize it at a glance.
Mingxi and her brother should be from a wealthy family in the Apocalypse Order, and it is not surprising that they have seen lightsabers.
Now that Mingxi has said it clearly, Lu Chengfeng must deny something. After all, he was already a fifth-order martial artist. Although he is still not a master, he is already much stronger than the third order that was just reborn last year. At the very least, this exorcist girl can't help him herself. "It's really a lightsaber!" After being confirmed by Lu Chengfeng, the girl was a little curious, and said: "In my opinion, your mastery of lightsaber and the use of lightsaber skills are skillful and sophisticated, not like an accident, but a complete set of lightsaber inheritance." In addition, there are top-level fighting spirits that even I can't recognize, inheritance-level battle armor, and at least two rare-level magic accessories. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it comes from some ancient kendo family. ”
