Chapter 414: The Lost Eagle
"Hah............ Ha ............"
Grundy ran wildly in the grass, the screams in his ears became clearer and clearer, and he glanced behind him, the girl who followed him was now pale and gasping for breath. The precious robe on her body was now full of holes, and the sharp thorns had even left bright red wounds on the girl's delicate skin. In the darkness of the woods, a few fires could be faintly seen, and the barking of dogs echoed in the forest, getting closer and closer.
"Hurry up, Natasha."
"I, I'm dying, Grundy."
The girl named Natasha stumbled behind Grundy, and at this moment she couldn't hold on a little anymore, but even so, the girl still held a wooden box in her hand. There was no intention of letting go at all, and seeing Natasha in front of him, Grundy also knew that this was already the limit of the other party, and in desperation, Grundy had no choice but to reach out and hold the girl's right hand hard.
"Follow me, quick, Natasha, if we swim through this forest and from the Holy White River to the other side, we still have any hope of escaping!"
"I............ I'm afraid I won't be able to swim, Glandy, you can go first! β
"Nonsense, how can I leave you alone?"
Hearing Natasha's answer, Grundy's face was slightly gloomy, and at this time, a trace of horror suddenly flashed on Glandi's face, and then he suddenly stopped, and then Grundi took the girl behind him, and at this time, a huge hound with a black body howled and pounced out of the grass, and in the face of this sudden attack, the girl was so frightened that she immediately screamed. Grundy let out a roar of rage, and the sword in his hand slashed down at the hound. With a few moments of effort, the sharp sword sliced into the hound's head, and the boy screamed angrily, and kicked the hound back into the grass.
Although it was just a matter of blinking, but when the two of them delayed like this, they saw that the firelight was a little closer to them, and not only that. The rustling of the grass and the howling of the hounds signaled the approaching danger to the two of them. Soon, two more dark shadows swooped out of the grass and tore at Grundy.
"Run! Natasha!! β
Grundi swung his sword vigorously. Once again, he forced back the hounds that were close to him, but at this moment, the young man already knew that he had lost his most precious time and opportunity, and with such a delay, the possibility of escaping from these people was even more remote! But even so. Grundy gritted her teeth and pushed the girl hard. Motioning for the other party to continue to escape, he slashed a hound with a sword again, but at the same time, a third hound suddenly pounced on the side and bit the boy's arm.
"Grundy!!"
I saw the young man's hand. Natasha screamed, but Grundy was silent. He swung one hand and shook off the hound's bite, while the long sword in his right hand stabbed out in fury and pierced straight through the hound's forehead. And the hapless hound, after a wail, collapsed to the ground, and never moved again. But. At this moment, a voice that made the two of them fall into an ice cave suddenly sounded.
"Found it!! They're here!! β
"Oops. Come on!! β
Hearing this voice, Grundi was also taken aback, he didn't even have time to bandage his injured left arm, turned around and took the girl to continue to run forward frantically, although now Grundi also knew that even if he ran like this, there would be no result, but the instinctive desire of human beings to survive still supported him and continued to move forward.
However, at this moment, Grundy saw a little spark of stars appear in front of him.
Could it be that those guys have completely surrounded this place?
Thinking of this, Grundy's heart sank, but at this moment he had no choice but to wave his long sword and rush out of the forest with the girl.
"Come on, you damn ..............."
Grandi was only halfway through his sentence before he stopped, staring blankly at the soldiers who were βββ there, not as Grundy had imagined, armed and waiting to capture him.
What catches the eye is the slowly flowing Shengbai River, the clear water of which shows a dreamy reflection in the moonlight. Next to the gentle riverbank, a carriage was parked at the moment, and judging from the appearance of this carriage, it should have belonged to the merchants. At the moment three people were sitting beside the fire burning not far from the carriage. In front of Grundy, an old coachman sat down on the ground in fright, and it was obvious that the old man was startled by Grundy and Natasha who suddenly jumped out of the grass.
Is this SynTao?
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Grundy was slightly stunned, then he turned his head, and soon saw the flat trade road not far away, this place is not unfamiliar to him, this is the necessary place for the White River Valley, and it is also a place where some merchants will choose to rest, I didn't expect them to run all the way and run so far away?
But now is not the time to lament how much potential humanity will burst out in the face of danger, but unfortunately, Grandi didn't have time to say anything, behind him, a group of fully armed soldiers immediately rushed out, seeing this scene in front of them, these soldiers were also stunned, but they were obviously well-trained, and after a moment's effort, these soldiers immediately dispersed, blocking all possible escape routes for Grundy, and at the same time raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, aiming at Grundy and the group next to the carriage.
Damn it!!
Looking at these soldiers who completely surrounded him, Grundy couldn't help but curse inwardly, and he used his body to block the girl, while slowly taking a few steps back. And at this moment, in front of Grandi, the soldiers parted a path, and then a man in armor walked out of it.
"Hide and seek is over, little ghost............ Well? β
Saying this, the man couldn't help but pause, and then looked at the people not far behind Grundy suspiciously.
Worst!
Seeing the man's eyes, Grundy's heart sank, he knew very well how ruthless these guys were. It's nothing to die here, and if it affects those innocent people, then it's ......... Thinking of this, Grundy hurriedly stepped forward, blocking the man's gaze while whispering.
"They and ............"
"We have nothing to do with them."
However, Grundy's words were not finished, and among the three people who sat in front of the fire. A figure turned its head and interrupted Grundy's speech.
"I don't know who you are, I don't want to know who you are, and I don't want to get involved in your troubles. So if you just want to catch these two, feel free. We pretend we don't see anything. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, Grundy's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything. And that's not all. Even the man was a little surprised at the momentβββ he really didn't see it. There are still such passers-by on the road. He's been in this business for so many years, and he's never seen a guy who so justifiably claims to be just passing by......... Hehe, these people seem to be interesting. But alas, this matter is not allowed to be known to anyone, since you have seen it. Then you can only blame yourself for not being lucky!
Thinking of this, the man regained his thoughts. Then he raised his hand.
"Kill them all, not a single one!"
At the man's command, the surrounding soldiers immediately raised their crossbows and aimed at Grundy and the people by the river, and saw their movements. At this moment, Grundy's heart had sunk to the bottom, facing so many sharp arrows. The only thing he could do was to stand in front of Natasha in despair, and in despair he raised his long sword, trying to resist the inescapable rain of arrows for her.
And at this time, the accident suddenly happened.
"Wow!!"
Just as the soldiers raised their crossbow arrows and aimed at the target to shoot, suddenly a bright flame erupted from the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the hot tongues of fire burned brightly, and in an instant, all the bows and crossbows in the hands of all the soldiers were wrapped in it. At this time, the soldiers could no longer bear the heat above, and one by one they screamed and dropped their weapons and retreated.
"W-what's going on?"
Faced with this scene in front of him, the man who seemed to be the commander was also stunned, and looked around in surprise, obviously, he had never thought that such a thing would happen. And just as the man was bewildered, he saw one of the three people who had done it beside the fire standing up.
And it was only at this time, with the help of the firelight, that everyone could barely see her clearly, it was an unusually beautiful girl, her pink hair tied into a lively ponytail flicked around the back of her head, and on her head and head, a pair of fluffy ears and a large tail were shaking incessantly, showing everyone her identity.
A half-beast?
"Oh, yes, it's a pity, it's rare that the master has given you a chance, and you don't want to cause unnecessary trouble and right and wrong. But if you don't want to accept the kindness of your master, will you suffer? β
This is......... Mage?
Hearing the other party's words, the man's face changed greatly, he took two steps back in disbelief, and cautiously looked at the people not far behind Grundy, if he hadn't taken these people in his eyes before, but just now, after the other party showed his hand, he couldn't do it anymore. Being able to burn all the soldiers' bows and crossbows in an instant without hurting anyone, he had never seen such a skill in a mage.
What bad luck!
The current man couldn't help but faintly regret it in his heart, from the time when the other party was so calm and expressed to him that he wanted to stay out of the matter, he should have noticed that in the face of so many people on his side, these three people are definitely not ordinary. But his dedication to the task made him not pay too much attention to this problem, after all, the identity of this target is too sensitive, and once this matter is leaked, then something big will happen. Therefore, even though the other party had stated in advance that he did not want to get involved, the man was still unwilling to take this risk.
But now, he found that he seemed to have made the wrong choice.
The other party can burn their own weapons in an instant, so next time, will they directly turn their own people here into barbecues in an instant?
The man's thoughts also turned quickly, and thinking of this, he immediately took a step back, and then respectfully made a salute to the other party.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, it's rude on our part, we'll leave immediately with these two now!"
And just as the man was about to wave his hand and signal his soldiers to come forward and take the two caged rats away completely. Suddenly, behind him, a wall of fire rose to the ground, and soon, the burning wall of flames seemed to be guided by something, extending to both sides, but in a few moments, the wall of fire was like a cage, completely blocking everyone's retreat.
"You're ..............."
Sensing that something was wrong with the current situation, the man's face immediately sank, and it was obvious that the other party's actions were not good.
In the face of the man's inquiry, the fox-eared girl stretched out her hand very elegantly and politely, blocking her mouth, eating and chuckling.
"Oops, didn't I say that? The master doesn't want to cause trouble, but alas, since you have rejected the master's kindness, then we have to eliminate the trouble ourselves. β
