Chapter 26 Rainy Night
"Boom, boom!!"
The torrential rain poured down, the whole world was dark amidst lightning and thunder. On the narrow path, a carriage was speeding forward. Under such circumstances, the oil lamps hanging outside the carriage could not illuminate the road in front of them at all, and could only vaguely see a small area clearly.
The soldiers in charge of protecting the carriage basically fled in all directions, and only Cador Cavaliers were still riding beside them. The elf scout sat on the groom's seat, holding the reins tightly with both hands - if it weren't for the elves' sensitive senses and night vision ability, I'm afraid the carriage would have fallen to the bottom of a cliff long ago.
In the carriage, Alisa and her mother were also pale, and the carriage swayed left and right. The howling wind, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain outside had almost no elements that could be reassured. Alisa's mother clasped her hands together, muttering to herself not knowing which **** she was praying to, while Alisa clenched her fists and looked out of the car window anxiously.
On the contrary, Augis seemed quite calm. She sat across from the two of them and put the suitcase on her lap with a book on it—it was the book that Augis picked up from the library of the castle before leaving. She took away a book of fairy tales, even under the dim light of an oil lamp, she read it with relish.
"Om——"
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the wind and rain. The sound was so weak at the beginning that people wondered if they heard it wrong. But soon, the sound became louder and louder, as if mosquitoes were coming towards them in groups.
At this moment, the screams of the elf scouts also sounded from outside the car.
"Be careful, it's a rotting fly!!"
At the same time, a black shadow descended from the sky.
It was the size of a person, with two pairs of wings, like an enlarged fly and a bug. They swooped down from the wind and rain, and rushed straight to the carriage. Facing the attack of the rot fly swarm, everyone became tense in an instant. Holding the reins in one hand, the old knight drew out the long sword around his waist with the other, and roared angrily, slashing at the flying rotting flies, cutting one of the flying rotting flies in half.
On the other side, the elf held the reins tightly, driving the carriage and shaking it from side to side, trying to escape the swarm of carrion flies. After all, although the attack power of rot flies is not strong, it is very troublesome to form groups. If they can't escape, then their group will probably be buried here!
"Master Cardo, get on the carriage!"
Hearing the elf's call, the old knight did not hesitate, he drove his horse close to the carriage, then jumped up and landed in front of the carriage. Almost at the same time, several rotting flies flew down, directly knocking the old knight's war horse to the ground, ruthlessly tearing its flesh and blood, turning it into a corpse.
The strong **** smell seemed to arouse the viciousness of the carrion flies, and they accelerated their speed again, almost surrounding the carriage. And the old knight brandished his long sword, forcing all the rotting flies trying to approach one after another back. But even so, quite a few rotting flies began to attack the carriage's carriage, their minions and sharp long jaws began to tear frantically, hitting the carriage's carriage. At this moment, Alisa's mother and daughter in the carriage were already shivering and embracing each other.
"It's really... troublesome!"
After manipulating the carriage to throw off the rotting fly again, the elf scout couldn't help complaining.
"Hey, who is that, didn't the black knight want you to protect us? Help us quickly, or everyone will die!"
Although the elf scout didn't know about Augis' abilities, she had seen the scene where Augis dealt with the plague apostle, and knew that the taciturn girl had quite powerful power. If she doesn't make a move, then maybe everyone will be dead!
"Miss Augis!"
Hearing the screams of the elf scouts, Alisa also hurriedly looked at Augis who was still flipping through the book.
"Please help us, everyone will die if this continues!"
“………”
Facing Alisa's request, Augis just raised her head, stared at her, and then nodded slightly.
The next moment, a miracle happened.
The rotting flies surrounding the carriage suddenly shattered, and each rotting fly was divided into countless pieces as if cut by an invisible sharp knife. In the blink of an eye, those rotting flies that were originally invincible had completely disappeared. , disappeared into the rainstorm and darkness of night.
For a while, the surroundings became quiet again, only the sound of horseshoes and creaking carriages mixed with the wind and rain. The elf scouts and old knights who survived the catastrophe also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh... It seems that the black knight is quite reliable, I thought..."
"——!!"
However, before the elf scouts finished speaking, suddenly, a huge figure descended from the sky and landed in front of their carriage. It was a terrifying monster with a height of three meters, swollen body, two terrifying huge sharp claws, and the whole body was covered with degenerated and swollen muscles and blood vessels. It opened its mouth wide, and its long tongue protruded from it, swimming like a poisonous snake.
"Chaos Egg!!"
Seeing this monster, the expressions of the elf scout and the old knight changed drastically. Even they had only heard rumors about this terrifying and terrifying creature. To put it simply, when the body of an evil **** believer cannot withstand the chaotic power bestowed by the **** he believes in, their body and mind will completely collapse, turning into a murderous and terrifying monster without self-awareness. This kind of monster is powerful and does not distinguish between enemy and friend. It is one of the most terrifying enemies that no one wants to encounter.
And now, it is standing in front of the speeding carriage, about to crash into it!
"Woo...!!"
The elf scouts gritted their teeth and pulled the reins hard to try to slow down, but it was too late, and the Chaos Eggs were already howling and flying towards them!
Seeing that this terrifying monster was about to completely crush the carriage, but at this moment, the huge body of the Chaos Egg trembled suddenly in mid-air, and stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, a shining thunder pierced through the rain curtain and blasted directly towards the Chaos Egg! !
"Boom!!"
The Thunder Hammer directly hit the Chaos Egg's chest, sending it flying. At the same time, Duanmu Huai fell down like a divine soldier. Chop down hard.
However, the Chaos Egg was obviously not easy to deal with. Duanmu Huai had just approached, and its claws suddenly stretched out, pulling towards Duanmu Huai like a long whip. Facing the attack of the Chaos Egg, Duanmu Huai could only withdraw his sword and retreat, but before he could, he was whipped by the Chaos Egg and retreated a few steps.
Hey, you shouldn't be reckless when dealing with this kind of thing, and make mistakes.
Looking at the words [LV30] on the top of Chaos Egg's head, Duanmu Huai silently put away the idea of going up to fight with it, and then as he changed his mind, a card appeared in front of Duanmu Huai again, and then turned into An evil spirit wearing a black tattered long dress with a skinny appearance like a withered ghost raised its thin hands and screamed at the Chaos Egg. The Chaos Egg, not to be outdone, got up and faced the black-haired evil spirit. Clawed it away, and then saw the evil spirit screaming in the air and disappearing, while the Chaos Egg's body suddenly froze, and then fell to the ground, turning into a corpse.
【Ghost (Bronze)】
【Consumption: 2】
【Attack: 2】
【Defense: 2】
【Must Kill】
In terms of combat effectiveness, Specter is not very strong, but its [Death] feature is an absolute threat on the battlefield. Especially for a guy like Chaos Egg whose brain has been strengthened into muscles, there is only one dead end in the face of the [Must Kill] that dies just by touching it.
After solving the Chaos Egg, Duanmu Huai also caught up with the elf scouts and the others. Everyone was relieved to see that Duanmu Huai was fine. But soon, bigger troubles arrived.
"We can't escape if we go on like this."
Pointing at the map in front of her, the elf scout looked bitter. She originally wanted to go to her stronghold, but now it seemed impossible.
"Obviously, the army of the Filth God has flooded this area, and it is almost impossible to leave here without disturbing them."
"The number advantage is really troublesome."
Duanmuhuai also nodded, they are just such a small group of people, if the believers of the filthy **** are determined to catch them, then they are no match for the filthy god's believers - as I said before, the filthy **** is such a **** Ersheng is ruthless, and there is no requirement for the bottom line in recruiting believers. As long as it is willing, the people in the entire territory may become believers in the **** of filth... It's a headache to think about it.
But it is not completely impossible.
"Since this is the case, let's take a road that they dare not chase."
"Where is such a place?"
"Of course."
While talking, Duanmuhuai looked at the map in front of him.
"For example... a place that no life dares to enter."
