Chapter 20 Howling Wind, Blizzard, Samurai and Necromancer!
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
Heavy snow followed for five days, and the entire Baima Town was covered with thick snow. Looking out the window, all you could see was a vast expanse of white.
In the early morning of the sixth day, Lilith finally brought back the news.
"A sister found traces of Cyrus on a fishing boat on the Hanshui River, 5 miles west of the town.
"The traces on the boat show that he has been living on the boat these days and has never left."
"Are you here now?" Xia Bolay cheered up.
"Yes, it is still there. My sisters were very cautious and did not leave any traces during the investigation."
Xia Bolai then grinned widely: "Very good~ I waited until everyone got fat, and finally found this thief!"
He straightened his back, jumped up from the chair, turned to Rosen and said, "Little guy, just wait here for me. I will kill that guy in an hour at most!"
With that said, he strode towards the window, pushed it open, and jumped out.
"Since you insist, then okay."
After running hundreds of meters in one breath, he was already out of breath from exhaustion, and his feet felt like lead.
Rosen clearly saw that the thick snow melted instantly, creating a hole about 1 meter in diameter, and on the water in the hole, there was a strange gray flame burning slowly.
"Are you injured?" Rosen asked.
Looking from a distance from the window, Chapollet looked like a big mouse with black hair, scurrying away quickly.
Lilith walked up to Rosen and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you."
He took big steps and ran as fast as he could.
"Be careful of sneak attacks!"
Driven by this strong sense of crisis, Rosen quickly put on his leather boots and a windproof cloak, and then jumped out of the window under Lilith's surprised gaze.
The snow on the ground outside the window was very thick, up to the knees, and because of the heavy snow, there were almost no pedestrians in the town. There was a very obvious line of footprints on the snow, indicating the direction of Chabolais.
Then there were changes.
After he sat firmly, Lilith started running wildly on the snow.
Rosen rushed towards the wooden door with all his strength, pulled the latch, opened the door and rushed out.
"Miss Lilith, there is no time to hesitate, hurry up!" Rosen yelled anxiously.
She is a spider apostle and has been trained as a warrior since she was a child. Her physical strength and skills are far beyond ordinary people. Although the ground is covered with deep snow, it does not have any impact on her actions.
"Now Cyrus, not only has his mana greatly increased, but his mana also carries the ash polarity produced by the combination of necromancy and fire, which is very scary!"
They drew smooth curves in the air and rushed towards Rosen's back.
One of the missiles landed on the snow within Rosen's field of vision.
He rushed out of the wooden door and entered a small square courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by wooden houses. There was only a wooden door on the right side, which should be the exit of the courtyard.
The only way to save yourself is to leave the hotel immediately and try your best to catch up with Chabollet.
Rosen didn't have time to explain. After landing, his body rolled quickly on the ground.
Although Cyrus' strength became stronger, his speed did not seem to increase much. After a wave of sneak attacks, the second wave of attacks never appeared.
"Did quickly and didn't get hit."
A dilapidated fishing boat with a straw hut was stranded among the reeds on the river bank.
Without her needing to say anything, Rosen climbed up on his hands and knees and rushed towards the front door of the wooden house while rolling on the ground.
He is physically weak!
When he was feeling desperate, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps in his ears, and a figure chased behind him.
After running for a while, I saw a brown figure flashing beside me, but it was Lilith who chased after me.
This is certainly true, but how could someone as cunning as Cyrus leave such obvious traces?
As soon as Chabollet, the strong man, walks away, Cyrus will come out to deal with him.
Lilith was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem? Xia Bolai is a powerful high-level warrior. Isn't he sure of dealing with a low-level mage?"
Rosen immediately complied.
Looking up at the hole in the wooden wall behind her, she saw Lilith spinning several times on the snow, dodging three missiles with just a hair's breadth.
He could only ask: "Why is this happening?"
Outside the door is an alley less than 2 meters wide. There is also snow on the ground in the alley, but most of it has been cleared. Apart from being a little slippery, it basically does not affect the running route.
The alley is not long. Go straight and then turn left to enter the street. The snow is very thick on the street, but the ground under the eaves of the wooden houses on both sides is relatively clean.
Rosen yelled repeatedly!
It's Lilith wearing leather armor.
Even with one person on his back, his running speed was not much slower than that of Chabolai before.
"He shouldn't be able to catch up with us."
Through these days of observation, he knew that in the entire White Horse Town, only Xia Bolai had the ability and willingness to protect himself, and no one else could count on him.
"The Ash Bird, the descendant of the immortal bird, is a legendary beast. Its feathers contain the terrifying power of ash. Even a faint trace of it can reshape a mortal's body and increase its strength significantly."
The Hanshui River is five miles west of the town. After Lilith ran with Rosen on her back for more than ten minutes, a large frozen river appeared in her field of vision.
Lilith was also in shock.
With a look of rejoicing, Lilith turned another corner and followed Chabolai's footsteps again.
Rosen just ran against the wall.
The next moment, he felt a strong force coming from under his body, pushing him to fly out, crashing through the wall of a wooden house on the roadside, and hitting the inside of the house.
Lilith stretched out her hand, picked up Rosen, threw him on her back, and continued to run with him.
"Why?"
Rosen had a strong feeling that the fishing boat was just a bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Rosen frowned: "Mr. Chabolai is too impulsive!"
"Ember bird feathers?" This was the second time Rosen heard this word. The last time it was Chapollet said it.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of light rushed out of the alley silently.
After landing, Rosen followed the footprints and ran wildly on the snow on hands and feet.
If Xia Bolai fell into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, he would be in danger.
"It's a three-hit combo of mutated missiles!"
The color of the light ball is very strange. The inner layer is dark green, but the outer layer is filled with gray-white light that resembles a flame.
The missile hit the snow and made a muffled sound.
There was a large family living in the house, and the sudden change caused the family to scream loudly.
Lilith was startled, and she shouted loudly: "Rosen, run!"
On the ice not far away, two people stood nearly a hundred meters apart.
One of them was short and fat, holding a crystal blue demon-slaying knife, it was Chabolai.
Seeing the scenery on the roadside recede rapidly, and the icy cold wind mixed with snow particles blowing towards his face, Rosen felt a little relieved.
‘Bangdang~’
Rosen didn't have time to explain carefully and shouted loudly: "Take me to see Chabolai! Take me to see Chabolai quickly!"
A series of movements were astonishingly fast. When Rosen ran to the window and wanted to call him to stop, he found that the other party had already run more than fifty meters away.
But he was still fully vigilant, looking left and right, wary of possible sneak attacks from the dark.
And the other one, wearing a pointed round hat, a gray cloth cloak, and holding a wooden staff in his hand, was actually Cyrus!
Lilith was surprised: "How come there are two Cyrus?"
After killing himself, he would naturally fly away. Even if Xia Bolai traveled all over the world to vent his hatred on him, would he still be able to survive?
When Lilith ran about 500 meters and passed by a remote alley, Rosen saw from the corner of his eye a gray figure flashing quickly in the narrow alley.
This vigilance paid off.
She hadn't figured it out yet, so she still looked at Rosen in confusion: "What happened?"
Even slightly closing the distance can greatly increase the chance of survival.
After taking a few breaths, she added: "I just saw him. Judging by his clothes, he should be Cyrus, but his appearance has changed a lot. His face is gray, his pupils are like two gray flames, and his body is very thin.
It’s like a skeleton!”
There is not one ball of light, but two, no, three!
"He must have absorbed the power of the feathers of the Ash Bird. He is far more powerful now than before. We can't be our opponent at all, we can only run!"
Lilith explained as she ran.
Rosen was surprised and vaguely felt something was wrong, but since he didn't see the other person's appearance with his own eyes, he couldn't deduce any more information.
Rosen's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: "I'm afraid that the undead puppet in the town is the undead puppet that Cyrus resurrected!"
As soon as these words came out, a flash of fear suddenly flashed in Lilith's eyes.
"I understand, the power of ash has the composite polarity of fire and necromancy, and the intensity is very high. If Cyrus knows necromancy, after adding the power of ash, the power of the spell will skyrocket!"
As if in response to her words, the snow on the side suddenly exploded with a 'bang', and a pale palm full of mud stretched out!
