While Brando was dying and fell into a coma, the Saint Hydra also went crazy after being injured. It raised its heads high and let out a long howl, then turned and fled frantically into the forest.
The reserve knights of the Temple of Fire and Veronica launched an attack - as if to completely eliminate these tiny creatures that challenged its authority.
So those knights suddenly faced a disaster. They were struggling to support themselves, hoping to buy time for the priest to cast spells to support them. But Amman's death was undoubtedly a shocking blow, and these reserve knight members were defeated in one fell swoop.
Confidence.
Coupled with the addition of several other heads of the Saint Hydra, their battle line collapsed in an instant.
Many knights were immediately bitten off half of their bodies by the huge dragon head that suddenly emerged from the clouds. The battlefield suddenly became like hell, and screams could be heard in the woods.
Veronica frowned in the middle of the battle. She used her sword energy to parry the attack of the Atomized Saint Hydra, but what she was more anxious about was not her own safety or the safety of others - it was this that made her unable to
Confidence situation:
Amman's death.
When she saw Brando's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, but the Cruz goddess of war still didn't expect Brando to do so without hesitation.
Kill a temple priest.
You must know that the Temple has absolute rule for Eruin, Cruz, and even the entire Alliance of Flame countries for thousands of years. Even if the Cruz people control the voice of the Temple Council, they still dare not compete with them.
This behemoth is the opposite.
The authority of the Temple of Flame has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is respected by everyone. Standing on the opposite side of the Temple means standing on the opposite side of the entire Alliance of Flame.
Except for the two great wars in the past, no one has dared to declare war on a temple.
Even Veronica, although her status is invisibly higher than Amman, does not dare to make a move against him. She is the army commander of the empire, but the empire will not completely break up with the Temple of Fire just for the sake of a legion commander.
break.
"That guy..." Veronica gritted her teeth. Her knuckles were almost turning white as she clenched the Blue Sky. The female general knew very well that she would always have to keep what she saw today as a secret in her heart.
She took a deep breath.
There has never been a precedent in the Temple of Fire in which a regional priest died in an internal struggle. If this incident spread, it would be a devastating blow to the temple and even shake the foundation of its rule.
Once a precedent is set, Veronica can imagine how the prestige established by the Temple of Fire in the past will become shaky, and the monarchy, which is unwilling to succumb to divine power, will naturally become ready to move.
Even Cruz, the majestic and powerful Emperor, must have thought this way.
So everyone who has experienced this personally.
It becomes a natural enemy of the temple.
Even when Veronica thought about the secret trial in the Temple of Fire, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. She looked back and saw that the red-haired girl with a long ponytail had brought Brando's body out of the forest.
left.
She naturally thought that Brando had died in that blow.
But for some reason, Veronica felt a pity in her heart. The young man's strong character aroused her affection, and the Cruz goddess of war couldn't help but think of her own youth.
At that time, I was not willing to surrender to the world.
It's a pity that he is an Eruin.
But while Veronica was secretly feeling regretful, Akane had already taken the unconscious Brando through the forest - after rolling into the tree hole and throwing away the thunder gun, the unarmed she managed to escape.
The first attack sequence of the Saint Hydra - this saved her and Brando's lives.
Following Brando's instructions, the girl passed through the valley mouth southward and entered the last level outside the storm circle - the ancient isthmus.
In the past two days, in order to reach the 'Holy White Stone' in Brando's mouth as soon as possible, the ponytail girl has not closed her eyes once. However, the aura on Brando's body has become weaker and weaker, which makes Qian feel hesitant and confused.
disturbed.
She was afraid that Brando would stop breathing forever at some point. Qian's heart was always empty and she didn't know how to face all this.
She was always thinking wildly, and occasionally even cried softly.
The further south she went, the woods gradually became sparse before her eyes, and the forest floor changed from a melancholy green to gray and yellow. Although it was a bit abstract to distinguish colors in this eternal night without the sun, Qian could still distinguish the colors based on the ground.
Make a rough guess about the distribution of vegetation, soil and rocks on the table.
The meadows are spread out in this direction to the east and west like a bald man's hair. There are exposed rock edges in the brown soil below, and trees are sparsely distributed in the mist in the distance. The valley seems to have become dead in this direction.
Finally, in the evening of this day - judging from the time - Qian was not sure whether she had missed a night or more in her exhaustion.
But she finally found the place Brando was talking about, which was a striking and huge white rock in a dark valley. The rock seemed to be glowing with a glimmer of light, and the deserted valley was filled with
Holy breath.
Without any words, Qian knew that she was in the right place.
The girl almost rolled over and hurried over, but when the matter came to an end, her nervousness, anxiety and exhaustion finally defeated her. She stumbled and fell to the ground on a protruding rock.
Brando behind him was also thrown far away.
Qian almost gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, ignoring the tingling pain in her palms and elbows, and hurriedly crawled over to help Brando up. She put her hand on Brando's chest - the young man's wound had suppurated.
It was ulcerated, but there was nothing she could do.
The girl just felt that Brando's heart was still beating weakly, but it was so weak that she could hardly feel it. Qian finally couldn't help but her eyes blurred, and she covered her mouth and cried out. She was cold and hungry, and she was like a backpack when she left the forest.
It was hung on a branch, and I didn't notice it because I was in a hurry to escape.
As a result, all the food and emergency supplies were left there.
The red-haired girl cried for a while, and then she placed Brando in the huge gap under the rock. She did not dare to leave Brando alone, so she could only sit beside Brando blankly, hoping that she
The lord can just get better like this.
But the situation did not develop as she imagined.
Early the next morning, when Akane woke up in a daze, she discovered that Brando's body was changing - simply put, the magic power was draining from the young man's body. For a strong man who had entered the golden realm,
, such a sign almost portends death.
Although Akane didn't know this, the loss of power was definitely not a good thing. She panicked, but for a while she couldn't find a way to stop it.
But just when she was anxious, a sudden voice suddenly sounded:
"Huh?"
It was a woman's voice.
Qian was startled, and she immediately looked outside the Holy White Stone with vigilance. The only person who appeared in this place at this time could be Veronica, but what surprised her was that what she saw was a
Weird woman.
Or it should be said that it is a creature whose upper body is a woman and whose lower body is some kind of plant.
She didn't recognize the woman, but Qian recognized the unconscious girl wrapped around one of the woman's tentacles - the Cruz daughter, Faina.
She immediately realized that this woman was the murderer of Tiya, and she tried to pull out the dagger from her waist, but the pull came empty.
Akane then remembered that the dagger had been thrown away a long time ago.
She gritted her teeth, looked at the Withered Lord Andesa alertly, and asked, "Who are you?" As soon as the girl opened her mouth, she realized that her voice had become extremely hoarse and her throat was so dry that it hurt.
Andesa was also sizing up the red-haired girl - she seemed a little interested, even smiling - but this dangerous woman didn't even look at Brando, her eyes completely stayed on Qian.
"Little girl," she said, her voice a little emotional: "I seem to know you."
"I don't know you." Although Qian felt that she was already shaky, she still protected Brando with one hand and stared at the woman with gritted teeth and replied.
"No, no," Andesa narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "I mean, you have a smell that I'm very familiar with."
Akane didn't answer.
But Andesa smiled slightly: "I remembered, this smell - it's the blood of God!" Her eyes lit up and she licked her lips: "Should I call you - the God of Thunder?"
Qian's face changed drastically, and her already pale face suddenly became as white as paper.
The pain that the blood of God brought to her was clearly visible like a bloody blade. She still remembered the night when she was killed by the tree shepherd and then resurrected. The nightmares that haunted her every day almost made her suffer every day.
Always on the verge of collapse.
Even if it weren't for the lord, Akane would have known that she would have become an unconscious monster.
Just like the earth angel she met back then.
She couldn't help but stare at Andesa, knowing clearly in her heart that this woman and that person from before were probably the same person.
Tree Shepherd.
"Mu...Treant?" Qian almost choked, but still asked.
"Oh, you actually recognize us, but it's not surprising when you think about it," Andersa replied: "Since you have the blood of God in your body, you are naturally one of us."
She tilted her head: "But it's a little strange. You seem to have your own will."
"I'm not a divine messenger!" Qian took a breath and retorted excitedly: "I'm not one of you either!"
"No, no, no," Andesa looked at Qian, her eyes getting brighter and brighter: "It seems that the harvest this time is not small. In addition to the little princess of the Cruz people, there is an unexpected reward. A wandering angel.
,Who gave you the divine blood?"
Qian looked at her and remained silent.
"It doesn't matter, I will know." The woman smiled slightly: "From now on, little girl, you are my trophy."
Qian shivered: "Don't even think about it!"
"Oh? That's not up to you."
