Chapter 85 Praying Mantis, Cicada, and Oriole(2/2)
To everyone's surprise, the Pope's expression changed several times as he looked into the darkness of the night. He seemed to know who it was from the voice. He glanced at Chu Huan and others hesitantly. As a gust of wind blew up, the Pope's figure almost appeared.
In one breath, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
this……
Who scared the pope away?
Xiaoman looked at Zhuo Feng, and Zhuo Feng shook his head, saying that he didn't know either and was not from the shrine.
He raised his head and looked at Chu Huan, who happened to look back.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
The feeling of escaping death can indeed make people laugh.
After laughing, Zhuo Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and pulled off a human skin mask. The new face was even more handsome, but I'm afraid it was still not his true face. Chu Huan and others didn't care, and looked at each other.
After a few glances, I saw that no one was injured or injured, and I felt a little more relaxed.
"Are you okay?" Chu Huan limped over: "Qiu Fu should be the name of the Pope, but who is here? How do you know the Pope? Why do you want to save him?"
"I only know that the Pope's surname is Qiu. As for his name, I'm afraid even the red-robed priests don't know." Xiaoman was the most seriously injured and her face was a little pale. She grew up in the temple and didn't even know what the Pope's name was, but she could call someone here.
When the Pope's name came up, it seemed like he was an old acquaintance.
"Perhaps he is also from the temple, otherwise he wouldn't know the Pope so well. It's just that it seems that the two of them are sworn enemies, so he chose to leave as soon as the Pope showed up." Zhuo Feng expressed his guess.
"The other party at least saved our lives." Xue Yue said at this time: "Can you still fight? The pursuers should be arriving soon."
"Tch, Xiaoqiao, isn't it? I'm not bragging. Fortunately, the Pope ran away, otherwise my brother and I would have had more powerful methods to use." Zhuo Feng said vehemently, and he didn't know whether he was telling the truth or not.
After saying that, he coughed and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Chu Huan didn't talk nonsense, stepped forward to support him and said:
"Let's get out of here first."
"It's important to stay alive."
After saying that, the two of them helped each other and rushed towards the ancient city of Wangyue, while Xue Yue walked in front carrying the seriously injured Xiaoman.
…………
Half an hour later.
Where Chu Huan and others were fighting the Pope, mutants led by Jin Zonglie rushed over.
Shi Jingxuan looked around and looked at the pools of blood on the ground and fell into deep thought.
Jin Zonglie looked in the direction where the footsteps disappeared and remained silent.
The other two mutants, one male and one female, are a couple.
The male's surname is Su, Su Baoyu, and the female's name is Xu Yu.
Su Baoyu is good at assassination, while Xu Yu is a master of disguise and good at hiding. Both of them are genetic mutants.
Looking at the severed arm on the ground, Su Baoyu stepped forward, picked it up, smelled it, glanced at the rotten wound on the forearm, then took a bite of the flesh and blood from the shoulder, chewed it and swallowed it.
Xu Yu, who was accustomed to this scene, touched her lower abdomen with her hand. She was already three months pregnant.
Soon, Su Baoyu ate most of the severed arm, and after burping, he left the remaining severed arm on the ground.
"The owner of this arm is about fifty years old. He was injured by a sharp object. It seems that the wound will not heal, so the owner of this broken arm abandoned his arm to escape."
Su Baoyu has been injected with mutated vulture genes since he was a child. In addition, there are also some wolf genes, which makes him extremely fond of carrion. During a mission in the early years, he did not have anything to eat or drink for a week.
He finally assassinated the target. Being hungry and thirsty, he couldn't help but take a bite of the dead target. From then on, he was out of control. Every time he went on a mission, he would kill someone and then take a few bites.
This is no secret, it is said that he can recover his strength faster this way.
"It should be the Pope." Jin Zonglie nodded and said. He glanced at the remaining corner of the golden robe on the ground: "The other party is much more powerful than we imagined."
"There were four of them before, but now there are only three people's footprints. One person was seriously injured. It must be a woman, because her footprints are missing. Someone should be carrying her. The other person's footprints have obviously become heavier.
A lot." Shi Jingxuan expressed his judgment from the messy footprints: "The other two are walking a little strangely. They should be supporting each other, so only one of the four of them is still fighting."
"Can we still have the Marquis?" After listening to Shi Jingxuan's analysis, Xu Yu asked Jin Zonglie.
"It will take too long to wait for them." Jin Zonglie said and looked at the way he came: "We have marked the road along the way. The Marquis will find this place."
"I can catch up with them in an hour at most." Shi Jingxuan said and looked at Jin Zonglie: "Should I catch up first and keep an eye on them?"
"That's fine." Jin Zonglie nodded: "You are fast, you can follow from a distance first, and then take action when we arrive."
"Okay!" After Shi Jingxuan said that, he immediately set off to chase the place where Chu Huan and others left.
"Why do they have to go to the ancient city?" Su Baoyu expressed his doubts at this time, feeling that there might be some mystery in it.
"Maybe the ancient city has what they want." Jin Zonglie said and glanced at Su Baoyu and Xu Yu: "They are seriously injured now and their movements are slow, but they still cannot be underestimated."
"Just watch." Su Baoyu said, licking her lips, as if she was a little hungry again.
"I don't understand something." Jin Zonglie turned around and looked at the battlefield: "It seems that the Pope has always had the upper hand, but why did he suddenly leave?"
Without waiting for Su Baoyu to answer, Jin Zonglie expressed his doubts:
"Who can force the Pope to leave?"
"Could it be that... they still have helpers?"
Hearing Jin Zonglie's words, Su Baoyu didn't take it to heart. He chuckled:
“The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind it, so what’s there to fear?”
Jin Zonglie shook his head slightly, and without saying anything, he quickly took up his steps and chased in the direction where the footsteps disappeared.
Su Baoyu and Xu Yu walked at the end. They were like lovers in love, holding hands, whispering, and admiring the desert scenery. They had no idea that they were heading toward destruction step by step.
