Chu Zihang and Xia Mi accelerated their pace under the darkness and rushed to the Xihua Gate, the planned escape destination. When they ran to the Xihua Gate, the door with ninety-nine and eighty-one gold nails was tightly closed.
The wall next to the 33-meter-high city gate is also tens of meters high. If you want to pass through, you can only go through the three coupon doors that are square on the outside and round on the inside.
There is an open space in front of Xihua Gate. When Chu Zihang and Xia Mi passed by here, they did not lower their figures and ran away like a fool. But just when they were about to run to the three gates, the three golden
The nailed door actually opened in front of their eyes!
The door opened. Chu Zihang and Xia Mi stopped and wanted to turn back, but they were surrounded by open space. There was no place to escape or hide. They could only watch the door open.
Outside Xihua Gate, red lanterns lit up in the dark night, and five coffins were carried in from outside the city gate one after another. The coffins were carried by coffins in black robes, wearing human bone masks, with blood-red pupils. One person was carrying a coffin on his shoulders.
, the footsteps are erratic and silent.
"It's broken, it's a ghost." Xia Mi whispered.
Walking at night for a long time is bound to bump into ghosts. The five coffins were carried out from the three round doors one after another. The black-robed and skeleton-faced men carrying the coffins were as silent as dead people. They saw Chu Zihang and Xia Mi from a distance.
, walking towards their direction, and at the same time came the sinister wind that penetrated into the bones.
"Let's not block the road, get out of the way." Chu Zihang whispered, pulling Xia Mi quickly to the side.
He probably guessed that those five coffins were lying in the remains of the elder Zong mentioned by Li Qiuluo before. The people carrying the coffins were the so-called "dead men". It was normal for the ancient royal family to keep the dead, but he had never
To think that the orthodox "death warrior" is actually such a ghost.
When he first saw the coffin-carrying gadgets, he recognized that these figures in black robes were man-made corpse guards.
In fact, many Cassel College students cannot tell the difference between Deadpool and Corpse Watch.
Deadpool is a hybrid who was infected by dragon's blood or was overly violent and caused his bloodline to exceed the critical blood limit. His body genes were forcibly modified into dragon genes. However, the tenacity of human genes will make it impossible for dragon genes to reach 100%, and he was eventually reduced to two
An unconscious monster that wanders between races. It is rejected by the dragon race and treated as cannon fodder, and it is also tolerated by the hybrid race and regarded as an enemy.
Corpse guards, on the other hand, are made by alchemy after death. They can be regarded as mummies made by alchemy. Deadpools are basically monsters whose bloodline is contaminated, and they are living things. However, corpse guards are different. They are originally dead.
Yes, just because the magical alchemy is still active in this world.
In terms of troublesomeness, the senior hybrid commissioner would rather go deep into the cave where ten dead guards are hiding than approach the tomb where one is suspected to exist.
Generally, corpse guards will only appear in dragon nests or tombs of the second generation and above. This kind of monster is extremely difficult to make, and its strength fluctuates with the level of the maker. As of now, no matter the level of the maker, these things
Neither Chu Zihang nor the newly born Xia Mi, whose bloodlines have been temporarily suppressed, can deal with them.
Avoiding, not provoking, and hoping that the other party will not pay attention to him is the only thing Chu Zihang can do now.
The corpse guards are all stupid. Their brains are dead long ago. They can only accept the simplest commands and process them in a single thread. If the order they received is to "escort the coffin home", then as long as Chu Zihang and Xia Mi
If you avoid their route, you might not attract their attention.
Fortunately, Chu Zihang made the right bet. He and Xia Mi stepped aside, and the five dead men carrying the coffin ignored them. When they passed by, their bloody pupils did not even leave the corner of their eyes.
The two little guys who didn't dare to move on the side road took the coffin step by step into the deep darkness of the palace complex.
Xia Mi covered his mouth and watched the five coffins disappear into the darkness. He finally let go of his hand and exhaled, "Oh my God, it's so exciting at night. Senior brother, we better hurry up."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Zihang suddenly grabbed the collar of her clothes, and bent forward with her at the same time. Above their heads, a gust of wind blew past their original necks, cutting off the air and leaving
A light black trace!
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi rolled forward. Behind the place where they originally stood, the two human figures shrouded in black air quietly dispersed and merged into the night.
Yanling·Mingzhao.
Serial number: 69
Bloodline Origin: Lord of Sky and Wind
Risk level: Medium
Discovered and named by:Albert Einstein
Introduction: An extremely rare speech spirit that has rarely been observed so far.
The releaser forms a small field with itself as the center, and light is refracted in strange ways in this field, creating an effect similar to invisibility.
People in the field cannot be exempted or reduced from any form of damage; secondly, information such as smells and sounds cannot be blocked by dark light; in the end, it usually still leaves traces of light ink in the air, so it is best to use this word spirit
Still in a dim environment.
Its naming principle is based on the legend that "the deepest part of the underworld is absolute darkness", because it is called the "candle light of the underworld". Even if there is a candle in the underworld, its light will be swallowed up by absolute darkness.
"God not only throws dice, but also tricks people. He created the magic of telepathy." -Albert Einstein.
Just as Chu Zihang guessed, the five dead men carrying the coffin did receive the order to carry the coffin, but he did not calculate that the other dead men lurking in the darkness received the order to see each other.
Anyone outside the Orthodox coffin is silenced.
Cold sweat dripped from Chu Zihang's chin. He lowered his eyes and scanned the surrounding darkness, and instinctively reached out to protect Xia Mi beside him, keeping her behind him.
Although it is Xia Mi who is the main combatant with real bloodline now and not him, in terms of combat experience, if he hadn't noticed something was wrong just now, grabbed Xia Mi and rolled forward, otherwise the two of them would have been two headless corpses now.
.
This group of dead men wanted to silence everyone who came close to or saw the coffin - but why? Even if the coffin contained the remains of the five orthodox elders, they were not so powerful that even a glance from a distance would lead to the ghosts returning to their hometown.
To the extent of taking lives, right? After all, it is no secret that the five patriarchs died in the Dragon King's attack.
Is there a problem in the coffin? If there is a problem, what is the problem? To be so vigilant must be because you don't want anyone to get close to the coffin, or to reveal any information about the coffin, so the problem lies with the body in the coffin?
The manner of death? The special nature of the body itself? Or is there some other, more horrifying, huge secret that cannot be tolerated to be discovered?
A large number of lightning-like thoughts spewed out of Chu Zihang's mind, and it took only a moment for him to react to reality. He knew that he and Xia Mi had been completely targeted. After witnessing five coffins and entering a certain state,
Within the scope, they have been targeted by the corpse guard responsible for silencing them.
Once a corpse guard identifies something as a target, they will pursue the target until death unless the target dies or the person controlling the corpse guard issues a new order to overwrite the previous order.
"Why do I feel something cold on my neck sneaking up on us?" Xia Mi seemed to realize that he was walking on the line between life and death. He looked around in horror, but saw nothing except open floor tiles.
"Yanling Mingzhao." Chu Zihang spoke concisely and warned in a low voice, "The things that attack us can become invisible in the dark. Pay attention to the light ink afterimages they leave behind. Now only you can observe the traces of their movement.
, if you find them, tell me their location!"
"It's all dark here, I can't do that!" Xia Mi was shocked, looking for black tracks in the dark open space? Is this something that humans can do?
"Back to back." Chu Zihang took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. After seeing his actions, Xia Mi followed it as if he had just woken up from a dream. Although they were in a huge open land, the light of the flashlight could barely illuminate a few meters away.
, but as long as it can illuminate the surroundings, it is enough.
The mobile phones used by Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were both iPhone 5, and the flashlight effect was pretty good. The two of them slowly circled back to back, staring at the place illuminated by the light - even if the enemy's word spirit was "Mingzhao", it could be hidden in
In the dark, if he wants to attack, he must close the distance. As long as he enters the range illuminated by the flashlight, traces will appear.
They stood firm and the corpse guards in the dark did not attack rashly. They seemed to be afraid of something.
"This is not the way to go, senior brother. We are trapped here. If the orthodox people come again later, won't we just have to catch them without mercy?" Xia Mi asked while walking around with Chu Zihang.
"The best situation for us now is that orthodox people can arrive in time and discover us." Chu Zihang said.
It is better to be under orthodox house arrest than to be a half-breed who has lost his bloodline, and a first-year freshman with no actual combat experience facing two corpse guards of unknown strength in a naturally disadvantageous environment. The former will have limited freedom at most, and the latter will cost lives.
matter.
"Senior brother, how about we give it a try?" Xia Mi suddenly asked.
""Chu Zihang said nothing.
The person who said this was Lu Mingfei or Lancelot. Chu Zihang might really consider it seriously. The latter is a reserve specialist of the execution department with considerable practical experience, and the former is a genuine 'S' level.
Although he is a coward, he is often very effective when he needs to be effective. No matter how bad things are, even if Fingel, who has been a waste for ten thousand years, leans on him and says let's fight it out, Chu Zihang will silently nod in agreement with this decision.
But now the person who said this was Xia Mi, and Chu Zihang couldn't agree to this decision.
The premise of risking one's life is that both parties must take death as a bet, and at the same time accept this bet. Chu Zihang can accept his own life as a bet, but he cannot accept Xia Mi doing this - she is still a new student, there is no need to do it for the first time.
For official tasks, you risk your life.
"Make a decision quickly, senior brother." Xia Mi's voice was filled with tears, "My phone is almost out of battery!"
Chu Zihang heard the pop-up sound of a low-battery sound on his Apple phone behind him. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the light of the flashlight behind him had indeed dimmed a little. Between the dim light, it seemed as if there was black smoke drifting by, and it disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
inside.
"At what time did we start visiting the internal facilities of Orthodoxy?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.
"About one o'clock in the afternoon?"
Chu Zihang glanced at the time in the upper left corner of his phone. It was now three in the morning, and more than half a day had passed since they visited the orthodox internal facilities.
"I have a way." Chu Zihang made a decision in a few seconds, "I remember that the information about your spirit being enthroned by Norma was the 'Eye of the Wind King'?"
