A deep sense of helplessness and powerlessness filled the three of them.
They have a glamorous appearance, and each one of them is a legendary ranger who travels between cities to save refugees. They have left countless legends for thousands of years and defeated powerful demons one after another.
But now, they are helpless against the erosion of darkness...
Li Feng's fingers trembled.
He had just used golden arrows to pierce one refugee after another, but he did not dare to look at their faces as withered as tree bark, as that would deeply sting his sense of justice.
once Upon a time.
He also stood in front of the refugees, using his body and arrows to block the invasion of those monsters.
But now, he has become the executioner, killing those innocent people with his own hands and turning them into "matches" to burn.
The wild orc female warrior came out and patted Liafeng on the shoulder. The light in her eyes was uncertain, and finally she knelt down at Gu Fan's feet with a thud: "My lord, I beg you to help us.
.”
The movements of the orc female warrior's Crazy Claw shocked the other two companions.
"Crazy Claw, get up quickly!!"
"Why are you kneeling down to him? We don't even know his identity and origins yet!!"
Hong Tide and Splitting Wind stretched out their hands to help the orc female warrior Kuangzhao stand up, but they were scolded by the other party: "Stop, don't you understand, this invasion of the Dark Tide has exceeded the limit of our capabilities.
"
Liifeng trembled, touched the quiver beside his leg and retorted: "We can do it, I still have the soul arrow."
Crazy Claw's expression remained unchanged, he still lowered his head to face Gu Fan with a pleading attitude, gritted his teeth and said: "How many more do you have? Even with the soul arrow, how many innocent souls do we still have to burn? How come all the refugees are burned out?"
manage??"
Hong Chao came out and said without hesitation: "Then burn mine!!"
"Then, if I burn my soul again, we will all burn in the end. Who will send the Lord of Winter away??" Crazy Claw clenched his fists and continued to grit his teeth and said: "The erosion is getting faster and faster, you don't know it yourself.
What!!”
After saying this again, Crazy Claw raised his head and looked at the cage.
In just a few minutes, one-tenth of the golden iron chains had been infected into a pitch-black color, and it would probably only take less than an hour until it turned completely dark and gloomy.
By then, dozens more innocent souls will have been killed.
"My lord, you have just resisted the erosion of the Lord of Winter. Which of you can do it?"
"Don't forget how our companions sacrificed their lives!!" Crazy Claw's last voice was almost a roar, but it woke up the dreamer.
Everyone saw that the coldness of the Lord of Winter had eroded Gu Fan's body, but he did not have any adverse reactions and successfully resisted the coldness.
From Crazy Claw's words, it can be heard that several of their companions have died, and one can roughly guess what happened.
Speaking of which.
Hong Chao and Li Feng also knelt down to Gu Fan unwillingly and lowered their noble heads.
As the person being begged, Gu Fan was a little confused. Just now he was fighting with soldiers, but now he was on his knees begging, and his attitude changed a bit fiercely.
"etc."
"What are you talking about here?" Gu Fan said lightly: "I didn't say I wanted to help you."
Gu Fan's eyes were full of indifference, and he was not interested in the life and death of everyone. He was not a savior, let alone the Virgin Mary, who would save everyone he saw.
The three of them were trembling with humiliation. As knight-errant heroes, no one had made them kneel down in a thousand years. This was the first time.
But the first time they knelt down, the man in front of them had already rejected them, with such indifference.
"But... this matter interests me, please tell me." Gu Fan was still very concerned about what was happening in this world and gave the three of them a chance.
He said it again and again and snapped his fingers.
The butler-looking ghost vine immediately understood. The soil on the ground was slightly loosened, the vine branches were entangled together, and the retro and luxurious runes were outlined into a luxurious chair.
Gu Fan was sitting on this chair, quietly waiting for the three of them to tell their stories, just like a noble grandfather listening to a farmer's bragging.
Such a shame.
So arrogant.
However, the three Crazy Claws could only suppress their dissatisfaction.
Especially for Crazy Claw, who has the keenest perception, she is more aware that the mysterious man in front of her has the qualifications to "tease" them, and this is the punishment for provoking and attacking this adult just now.
"There were originally seven of us."
"Our mission is to escort the Lord of Winter back to Tianlai City in the Empire of Light to receive treatment..." Crazy Claw began to tell what happened.
It turns out that this team of knight-errant heroes originally consisted of seven people.
According to the mission description, the Lord of Winter was seriously injured and his mind was eroded by darkness, so the Empire of Light immediately sent a team to help this powerful lord who had guarded the empire for thousands of years.
The city wall stretching for thousands of miles has been shattered.
The once scornful Lord of Winter lingered on the throne, watching with heartache as his people were transformed one after another into dark and chaotic demons.
He still retains his consciousness.
The Lord of Winter used all his strength to freeze the darkness in his body.
Just like that sentence, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. It has been resisting the invasion of darkness for thousands of years. The traces of darkness are like eczema and gout, eroding every corner of this lord's body.
When he saw the arrival of the Ranger heroes, he resolutely decided to freeze himself and use all his power to suppress the darkness.
So...he became that huge and deep black ice.
The seven rangers transported the ice and tens of thousands of refugees from the Winter City and began to migrate towards the Empire of Light.
However, the speed of darkness erosion far exceeded everyone's imagination. The Lord of Winter was almost unable to suppress the darkness in his body, and his sanity was also being stripped away bit by bit.
Darkness began to seep from the black ice.
Those refugees who came into contact with these deep and dark forces instantly turned into demons with terrifying power.
And even heroic figures will be transformed, corrupted, and infected little by little if they are eroded by the power of darkness.
The first person to be infected was an ascetic.
He was determined, but knew that he was unable to resist the darkness. In the end, he burned his soul and integrated all the justice and light into the bones of his body, turning them into chains to suppress the coldness in the black ice.
The second person to be infected was a priest.
He is the wise man with the strongest ability to resist darkness in the team, but he is also infected by darkness.
The priest also chose to sacrifice, burning his own life, and the boiled blood turned into silver holy slurry.
This scene at this time.
The powerful magician in the team used up all his magic power to paint the silver slurry on the chain. Finally, after draining his efforts, it turned into withered bones.
The sacrifices of three heroes temporarily sealed Xuan Bing.
However... the darkness continued, the chains turned pitch black, and the silver sacred magic patterns also became dim.
The fourth one, the light knight full of divinity, chose to sacrifice.
"Burn our souls."
"My power alone is too weak. I burn everyone's soul in the hope that I can suppress the invasion of evil spirits."
He transformed into the sun and left behind dozens of sacred arrows that can burn souls. It is those soul arrows.
Now.
Of the 10,000 refugees, there are less than a thousand left.
The iron chains were corrupted, the silver magic pattern became dim, there were only a few soul arrows left, and everyone was almost at the end of their rope.
