Chapter 68: Who is the Hunter?
The thought flashed through the minds of the three agents, and then it could never be erased. In fact, it is exactly like this, the surroundings are so dark, and the other party is focused on other places, at this time, even the mage will not have time to react, as long as he can succeed in one blow, then everything will be fine!
But............
The three agents looked around, still a little worried, they were not in charge of the work of the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and this strange and somewhat exaggerated place also aroused their vigilance. But after thinking about it carefully, the three of them felt that the danger should not be great, you see that female mage is squatting there so unguarded to do academic research, if there is really something, she will not have become a corpse a long time ago?
But on the other hand, they were also a little confused, because in the order, this female mage was only an "out-of-spec" target, and the main master they wanted to assassinate never appeared.
Where is that young man with black hair?
If he died, this female mage could not have been so calm, could it be that he left her alone and went to explore inside?
The three of them looked at each other, gesturing and discussing, and finally felt that this might be the closest guess to the truth, after all, it was still a young man, and according to the intelligence, he was not bad, most of these powerful people have an adventurous spirit, and it is not strange to go to the ruins to inspect them. Although the spies could not see the details of this ruin clearly because of the darkness, the vague outline could still be seen clearly under the light of the fire.
The spy was silent for a moment, and finally, he raised his head, and his brown eyes were imprinted with that little bit of fire, and then, he raised his right hand and pressed it down!
Let's get started!
With this action, the spies quickly leaped down to the ground, and then disappeared into the darkness.
The smell of danger began to spread.
Squatting in front of the stone pillar, Marlene stared blankly at the beautiful, complicated patterns in front of her, although it was her strength to decipher ancient characters, but she couldn't see anything now. What Rhodes said before is still echoing in the girl's mind.
"Those guys are going to come, and then they're going to attack you, and I want you to pretend you don't know what they're going to do. As long as they dare to make a move, I have a way to deal with them, don't worry, Marlene, I won't let you get hurt. ”
Although Rhodes said this very calmly and seemed to be trustworthy, it would be nonsense to say that Marlene would be so relieved. In fact, every once in a while, the girl had to peek at the dark shadows around her from the corner of her eye, and in the light of the fire, these shadows also swayed from time to time, and if she didn't pay attention to it, she would feel as if someone was lurking there.
I have to say that this kind of pressure is indeed not small, especially when Marlene once heard what those people would do to her with the help of the Demon Ear, and she was even more chilled in her heart. Death alone is enough to make people feel frightened, and if it is better to live than to die, then what will become of it, Marlene does not dare to think about it at all.
Many times, Marlene couldn't help but want to summon a magical ball of light to shine around, to see where the threats were. But in the end, she still suppressed her fears, because Rod made it clear that he needed to do it himself. Then you have to believe in him.
It's unbelievable.
Thinking of this, Marlene herself felt very absurd, why would she trust a man so much? And even put his life in his hands? Is it because he convinced himself? Or is it because of something else? What is it for? Would you listen to a man like this? Even in the face of her father, she has never been so obedient. But in front of this man, he had no way to object to every word he said......... Is it because of that trial? Probably not, although he is indeed the first man who dares to hurt Miss Ben, but I am not the kind of weak woman, do you back down after being scared once? It doesn't seem to be the case............
Marlene shook her head, leaving the distractions in her mind behind, but no matter how hard she tried, Rod's face always appeared in the girl's mind.
"Don't think about him anymore!"
In order to abandon distractions, Marlene finally began to try to focus on deciphering the ancient words in front of her, and this time, she quickly became immersed in them.........
Women's thoughts are really complicated.
“……… Guarding the world......... The chosen knight ........."
Bai Xian's slender fingers moved over the intricate mysterious glyphs, and Marlene whispered as she carefully examined the ancient words in front of her.
“……… The source of the force is ......... Is......... The Soul Contract...... Beneath the Void........."
The girl's voice became lower and lower, but her expression became more and more focused.
At this time, Marlene had really completely forgotten everything around her.
Great opportunity.
Seeing the scene in front of him seriously, the spy lurking in the shadows sneered in his heart. As a qualified hunter, he didn't shoot his prey as soon as he saw it. You must know that the other party is a mage, and if you don't have a sure grasp of it, it is very stupid to make a move. Marlene's performance he also saw in his eyes just now, at the beginning, the eldest lady seemed to be a little uneasy, and let the spy press and didn't make a move, but at that time he didn't expect that the other party had discovered the existence of himself and others, thinking that such a young girl, staying alone in this kind of ghost place, if she was calm and calm, it would be hell. And now, Marlene's performance has gradually entered a state, and looking at her focused expression when interpreting those ghost talismans, it is definitely impossible to detect the abnormalities around her.
Thinking of this, the agent reached out and felt for a handkerchief, and then he half-squatted and quietly walked out of the darkness...... Unfortunately, in the end, it was still a little bit worse.
The bright red blade pierced his throat, and the agent's eyes widened in surprise, and his eyes, which had begun to gradually fade, stared at the bright red in front of him, and he wanted to open his mouth to remind his companion. But only the tongue sticks out helplessly from the mouth, shaking desperately. And at this moment, the cold air brutally and resolutely invaded his body along the gap.
Then, darkness enveloped his entire world.
The lifeless corpse shook and then fell backwards. But before it fell to the ground, it was dragged by Rod, who had already prepared, he drew his long sword, pressed the back of the corpse with his left hand, and slowly lowered him to the ground, and then, Rod looked around a few times, and then quickly retreated.
The shadows engulfed him in an instant.
It's almost time, why doesn't that guy do it yet?
The agent hiding behind the stone pillar frowned with some dissatisfaction, and he looked at Marlene's back, a little annoyed. According to the plan agreed upon before, one of them was responsible for the main attack, while the other was responsible for assisting him in case of accidents. But now, logically speaking, he should almost be able to do it, right?
Or is there something wrong?
Perhaps it was because of intuition, or perhaps because of the instinct for fear of death, the agent turned around and subconsciously wanted to look around.
But all he could see was a flash of red light.
“———”
Bright red blood spurted out of his neck and landed on the ground, and Rhodes pressed the agent's shoulder with one hand, while supporting his body, gritted his teeth, and gently placed him on the ground. If you don't know his identity, just looking at these actions, I'm afraid no one will think that he is a swordsman.
The second, solved.
Glancing at the experience that appeared in front of him, Rod calmed down for a moment, he put away his sword and stepped back again.
A faint sound of breaking through the air sounded.
Almost at the same time, Rod instinctively rolled to the side, he only felt a chill in his left shoulder, and then he saw a pitch-black shadow quickly pass by him. …,
A professional is really a professional!
Feeling the pain coming from his left shoulder, Rod gritted his teeth, if he could, he really wanted to kill all three guys, and then touch outside to kill the two goalkeepers. That way, things went very smoothly, and they could easily put down and turn around and go home. But unfortunately, it seems that the other party does not intend to give himself this chance.
One hit missed, and the black shadow did not attack Rhodes again, on the contrary, the other party rolled and actually rushed directly to Marlene!
Seeing this scene, Rod naturally got up in a hurry, and then he stretched out his right hand, and then shook it forward!
The low whistle is back!
The turquoise bird conjured up from the card that Rhodes threw out, turning into a beam of light like a meteor, and swooped down on the black-clad agent at a rapid pace!
All this was only in an instant, even when Rhodes was attacked and the enemy jumped out of the darkness, Marlene had not yet noticed what was happening, and when she heard the voice and turned her head, the cold and shiny dagger had already appeared in front of her, and she was only less than half a meter away from this young lady! Although she felt the danger at this moment, the force field shield that Marlene had already prepared had already been deployed, but she didn't expect that the knife would directly cut through the translucent shield as easily as cutting a cake, and stabbed directly at her!
And the next thing Marlene heard was a low outburst.
"Boom!!"
The storm formed by the soul bird struck the agent on the back at the last moment, and the howling storm was like an invisible one, and the huge hand grabbed the enemy, swept it into the air, and then threw it heavily to the ground.
"Hoo ......"
And it was only then that Rod finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As early as when he saw the other party rushing towards Marlene as if he was dying, Rod already knew that something was wrong. Obviously, this spy should have noticed that he and the others had been prepared, but this guy is still "unrepentant", which means that the other party is quite confident in his own strength, and maybe there is equipment that can break the magic protection. It is precisely because of this that Rod did not pin his hopes on Marlene's protection, but made a decisive choice immediately.
Now it seems that he made the right choice.
But it's not time for peace of mind yet.
Marlene, who had come back to her senses, had already run to Rod's side, and at this moment, the spy also slowly stood up, although the impact of the soul bird was large, the damage was not high, not to mention this advanced profession, it was not easy to kill them head-on.
Rod backhanded Marlene in his hands and raised his sword in his right hand.
At the same time, the black-clothed agent also raised his dagger and short knife, revealing a cold killing intent in the eyes behind the mask.
