The black-robed man stopped, he frowned, and then looked at his right hand, only to see that the amber ring on his right index finger was completely shattered at this time. The gemstone that had been shining with an abundance of magical brilliance had turned gray and had lost any luster anymore.

"What's wrong? Lord Verona? ”

Sensing the reaction of the black-robed man, the black knight Chloe next to him stopped and asked. Hearing his inquiry, Verona turned his head and glanced at the other party before speaking coldly.

"The Infernal Bat has been killed."

"What?"

Hearing this, Chloe was taken aback. As a member of the Doomsday God Cult, he is naturally familiar with all kinds of otherworldly creatures, and he naturally knows exactly what the Purgatory Demon Bat is. Generally speaking, these demon scouts will run away immediately even if they can't beat others. The demons are all cunning and life-sparing, and it is impossible to fight to the death without retreating. And the other party was able to kill the Purgatory Demon Bat summoned by Lord Verona, in Chloe's opinion, there were only two possibilities. Either they had already discovered the Purgatory Demon Bat and ambushed it to take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to sneak attack, or the other party's strength far surpassed that of the Purgatory Demon Bat, killing it in an instant with just one blow, so that the Abyss Demon Bat didn't have time to react at all.

But......... Is this possible? The other party is just a group of mercenaries, how can they have such strength? Of course, if it's those famous adventure groups, it doesn't matter, but according to the information that Chloe, the adventure team called "Fairy and Treasure Chest" doesn't have much power at all, and their leader is just a master of swordsmanship, how can they have the ability to kill the Purgatory Demon Bat?

Come to think of it. Chloe was stunned for a moment, and then a thought crossed his mind.

What about the black knights he sent?

"Lord Verona. What do we do now? ”

For a moment, Chloe wanted to send someone to see what was going on. Although he thought in his heart that those adventurers would not be able to deal with his Doomskaya Knights, these Doomsday Knights were the elite of the Divine Cult, each of them had rich combat experience, and it was simply not something that ordinary adventurers could deal with. Even if they fall into the trap, they will send a warning signal at the first time. But until now, he had not seen smoke in the sky that represented an emergency, indicating that his black knight should have no problem.

For some reason, Chloe still felt a little uneasy, she always felt as if something was not right. But for a while, it was not clear. Eventually, Chloe decided to ask Verona what he had in mind. If Verona said he wanted to explore again, then it would have been more comfortable for him to send someone to see the situation.

It's just that to Chloe's disappointment, this time, in the face of his inquiry, Verona, who always looked crazy, shook his head.

"Leave them alone, our goal is the Temple of the Sun. The most important thing for us now is to get the job done, not to distract ourselves from the flies. If they don't hinder us, forget it, but if these guys dare to get in our way, let them die without a place to bury! ”

"Yes!"

Although it was not you who had to provoke the other party before the slander in your heart. Otherwise, where did so much trouble come from. But at this moment, hearing Verona's order, Chloe still had to nod his head in agreement. Although he was still a little worried about the black knights he had sent, Chloe was finally a little relieved in his heart, and it seemed that this Lord Verona was crazy. But when it comes to serious things, you can still prioritize them. Chloe sighed at the thought, and then he turned his head away. He glanced behind him, and then was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Verona's hoarse voice was heard. Reawaken Chloe and face the other person's eyes. The Black Knight Captain also shook his head.

"It's nothing, Lord Verona, it's just that the fog is a little thicker, and it looks like we're going to have to speed up."

As she spoke, Chloe looked again at the mountains behind her, which were already faintly shrouded in a light mist, and then turned her head to move on.

And behind him, the fog was quietly spreading.

The white mist gradually thickened, cold, damp, and the breath of death slowly moved forward, enveloping everything in the thick fog. Unbeknownst to Chloe, as they descended into the Lost City, the slender black figure resurfaced at the gates of Issos.

"It's ugly."

Looking at the charred corpses in front of him, the black figure snorted coldly and muttered to himself. As if in response to her words, the white mist began to roll and condense next to the black figure in front of her, and then turned into faces that were crying and screaming, and they surrounded the figure like this, growing their mouths as if they were crying about their own suffering, and emitting wails and roars that ordinary people could not hear. But the other party was obviously not interested in this kind of Cheng Dù's "complaint", only to see that she just stretched out her hand and waved, and the next moment the tumbling mist completely devoured those wailing and screaming souls.

"The loser has no reason to cry, and the fate of the weak can only be conquered......... And your souls will die out in agony......... This is my last kindness to you, and I accept this gift with gratitude. ”

With this cold announcement, the fog grew thicker, and the ominous figure disappeared into the fog once more.

Soon, the whole world turned white.

"It's foggy."

Sitting by the window, looking at the fog in the distance, Aina whispered. And Tilis, who was standing beside her, also frowned and looked into the distance.

"It's weird, it's still daytime......... Was there such a thick fog at this time before? ”

It's not surprising that Tilis would have such doubts, although it is true that fog is a big threat to the Lost City, but there is also time, judging by their previous experience in and out of the Lost City, generally speaking, the fog is thickest in the early morning and evening, and the day should be the clearest. But now. Looking at the white fog that surrounded the mountains in the distance, Tilis felt a little uneasy. It was as if some beast was approaching, but she couldn't resist it.

"It's all too much to think about. Tillis. ”

Hearing Tillise's words, Aina smiled playfully, and then she reached out and patted Tillise on the shoulder.

"Did the previous battle scare you and not recover yet? We're not stupid either, and isn't this place what you found? We can rest here for the night, and then wait until tomorrow to move on, and as for the damned cultists, since Mr. Jenn has said they won't come for our trouble, they shouldn't come for our trouble. Rest assured. ”

"yes............"

In the face of Aina's comfort, Tilis barely smiled, but she looked a little tired.

But it's no wonder that after that, the members of the Elves & Chests team left the ruins of the tavern, and then they continued down the path under the leadership of Tillis, and finally found the abandoned tower. This was supposed to be the arrow tower responsible for the defense of the outer city, but now it has long lost its original meaning, and only an empty shelf remains. And the monsters that originally inhabited it were naturally swept away by the adventurers. Then they stopped here -- in fact, they couldn't keep going, because many of the adventurers in the "Elves and Chests" team had been injured in the previous battle with the Black Knights, including Captain Steve. In such a situation of full wounded soldiers. It's really not good to move on. And Tilis, as the only priest here, naturally has to take care of the wounded, although most of Sairon's magic skills are auxiliary. But basic healing magic wasn't a problem for Tilis.

And luckily, the adventurers bought a lot of healing potions before they set off. Therefore, as long as it is not a fatal injury that is deep in the bones, cooperate with Tilis's healing magic. Another night's sleep is almost all over again. Although it is said that the Lost City will become more dangerous after nightfall, for the "Fairy and Treasure Chest" adventure group, they are already familiar with the nearby Qiqi, and know that there are no particularly powerful and dangerous monsters here. However, the most reassuring thing for everyone is that there is a Legendary Realm level powerhouse by their side, as long as Jenn is still here, they have nothing to fear!

Jen.

Hearing the name from Aina's mouth, Tillis only felt her heart skip a beat. At this moment, she seemed to recall the feeling she had felt when she was held in Jenn's arms before, and now that she thought about it carefully, she was completely frightened and stupid in the face of the sharp blade that rushed in her face, and she didn't think about anything superfluous at all. And now when she calms down, those forgotten feelings before seem to come to the door again, she can even clearly recall how Jenn's hand wrapped around her waist, and how she leaned on Jenn's chest, at this moment Tilis only felt her face red, as if she was still snuggling up to Jenn's chest at this moment, feeling the temperature of the other party, she could feel that Jenn was behind her at this moment, hugging her tightly. His hand was slowly stroking upwards along his body, and she ...............

"Tillise? What happened to you? ”

"Huh?"

It wasn't until Aina's voice rang in her ears again that Tilis was startled, and when she came back to her senses again, she was surprised to find that Aina was leaning in front of her, with a pair of large emerald green eyes watching her. This suddenly made Tilis feel a little flustered, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, distancing herself from the other party.

"I, I'm fine, huh?"

"Really?"

Hearing Tilis's answer, Aina blinked curiously.

"But your face doesn't seem to be very good, aren't you too tired? It's better to take a break now, or if something happens, you'll be in trouble. ”

"Yes, that's what I said."

Tillise smiled awkwardly, then nodded.

"Well, then, I'm going to rest now......... Aina, you need to pay attention to your body, too. ”

"Don't worry, when someone comes to change shifts, I will accompany you."

In the face of Aina's response, Tillis didn't say anything more, and hurriedly turned to leave. It wasn't until she disappeared that Aina shrugged her shoulders and sat down against the tower window again.

"Really, Tillise is still so flustered......... But ............"

Saying this, Aina tilted her head curiously, not knowing if it was an illusion, she seemed to have seen a shining red light in Tilis's eyes just now.........

Probably the reflection of the sun's rays.

Aina shook her head at the thought of this, and then she turned to look out the window again.

There, the sun is slowly setting.

The bright red glow reflected on the abandoned city, painted a dazzling color of blood. (To be continued......)
