We followed Redfield's path after all.
The winding path led all the way into the depths of the forest, where the stars were dim and surrounded only by giant cedar trees and rocks covered with thick snow.
"Right ahead." Suddenly, the ranger whispered. Those words made us all stop involuntarily in the snow and breathe softly subconsciously.
Ahead is a dark tree shadow.
Shh--
The cold wind shuttled between the branches like a ghost, constantly shaking the tree hangings on the branches. When illuminated by the dim starlight, it reflected strange lights.
"What's wrong? Mr. Redfield?" Gerard, who was shivering from the cold, perhaps because he had been standing for a long time, asked in a low voice.
"...over there..." The ranger stood firmly on the spot, staring straight ahead, "It doesn't look like a place where people can be placed."
"Maybe it's behind the big tree? Maybe there's a cave over there?" Gerard snorted the white steam, suddenly raised his feet and walked forward, "I'll go take a look first, please protect Mi here." Miss Saiya.”
We watched him move forward, the shadows of the trees gradually swallowing his dark figure.
"We..." Before I could finish speaking, Redfield suddenly raised his hand to stop me.
Looking up, I found that his eyes looking straight ahead were actually glowing.
He must have seen something, the bright red light in his eyes kept flickering on and off.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that he had a pair of eyes capable of night vision.
"He found something." The ranger whispered. The next second, he held the longbow on his back and stepped out lightly, "Follow me."
"Mr. Redfield!" Sure enough, at almost the same moment, Gerard trotted out from the dark shadow of the tree, "I found this!"
jingle--
An ancient copper bell swayed at his fingertips, making a cold sound.
"Under the tree, I found this, but there was no one..." Before he could finish, a strange iron rod appeared out of thin air from the distorted time and space.
"Be careful!" I covered my mouth and screamed. Before I finished speaking, the iron rod had already hit his forehead hard.
boom--
Dark liquid splashed everywhere!
Poor Gerard didn't even have time to scream, so he fell softly backwards to the ground.
The faint smell of blood quickly spread in the air.
"Gerard!" I bent my knees and almost ran over Redfield towards him.
"Oh!" At that moment, Redfield exclaimed in low voice. He turned around and seemed to want to say something to me. However, he bared his teeth and didn't say anything, so he just lay straight in. Snow.
boom--
Snow particles splashed everywhere, and a few hit my face. The cold touch made me stop suddenly.
I saw a small feather arrow on Redfield's neck, and the smell of numbing poison drifted into my nose on the wind.
I immediately covered my mouth and nose.
This is a trap, right? ! Around us, there is an invisible enemy!
I opened my eyes and tried to look for any unusual shadows, but I found nothing.
"Little Eileen." Just when my whole body was as tight as iron, a hoarse voice like a sigh suddenly rang in my ears!
The warm and moist breath touched my earlobes, and I was so shocked that my hair stood on end. I rushed forward, rolled twice on the ground, took away Redfield's longbow, and opened the bow to nock an arrow!
Whoosh--
The arrow flew towards my back through the wind!
I was sure that I saw a black shadow at that moment, but the arrow only passed through a shadow and nailed into the tree trunk far away.
Weng--
The feathered arrow trembled helplessly in the distance.
My target is gone!
The reason why I was so nervous was because I recognized that voice, "Joshua!" I squeezed out the name through my teeth, and the corner of my eye flashed around quickly, "Don't you dare not come out? ?!”
He laughed, "Of course I want to come out! How could I miss the fun tonight!"
His words made me furious and horrified. Because, I discovered that his voice came from all directions, and I couldn't find his location at all!
I suppressed the fear surging in my heart and shouted to him, "Where's Dallion?!"
"No -" he replied in a long voice, "There are only violent beasts on that side, traps full of poison, and a flame storm circle that can erase everything! You must be lucky to have chosen me."
His words made my heart beat uncontrollably, so much that I could hardly hold the bow in my hand, "Then where is Dallion?! Where did you take him?! Do you want to do anything to him?" do what?!"
"Dallion...that little boy, forget him...little Erin, you are mine...in the palm of my hand..."
Swish, swish, swish--
At that moment, the surrounding branches suddenly shook violently, and heavy snow and sharp tree hangings kept falling.
I followed the sound in panic, trying to find the initiator in the chaotic noise, but how could I possibly find it? !
"Oh, shivering like a little bird." Suddenly, the hoarse voice rang in my ears again, and I felt a cold body attached to my back, and the hard armor on his body The piece hurt my shoulder blade. Of course, none of that mattered. What mattered was that a sharp, cold weapon was pressed against my throat. The sharp tool moved slightly, and immediately I felt a hot pain, and the smell of blood clearly poured into my nose.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I subconsciously held his arm with my backhand. However, the sharp weapon cut deeper into my skin and was about to cut my throat at any moment!
I immediately threw away my bow and arrow and raised my hands.
"Very good." He reached around my waist from behind and pulled me up forcefully. "Oh, I've lost a lot of weight." He smiled and tightened his arms so that I had to stand up on my tiptoes. Pointe, almost unable to breathe, "Your hairy boy has made you suffer a lot, huh?!"
"Let me go!"
"Oh, of course." He let go of his arm as he was told, but firmly grabbed the hair on the back of my head and pushed me forward with the sharp weapon. Suddenly, the sharp blade cut deeper into my flesh and blood, not only In this way, he also moved the weapon left and right.
Oh my God!
"No!" I immediately raised my hands and hugged my head. Subconsciously, I tried to throw him over my shoulder, but the strength of his strong arm made me give up that plan immediately.
"Lea, what else do you want? Just ask." He smiled, and the hand holding the back of my head shook maliciously.
My eyes were sore with pain, but I couldn't do anything. I could only raise my head and try my best to keep the wound on my throat away from his blade, "You bastard! What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Of course I want to have a good time here with you, but you don't know? I thought I made it clear when we first met."
Those words made anger rise up my cheeks, "If you dare to touch me, I will tear your face apart!"
He laughed loudly, "I'm really looking forward to it, Rhea." As he said that, he finally let go of my hair, but his fingers covered with thick leather gloves instead grabbed my chest. , the movements are surprisingly fast, and the strength is surprisingly strong, "It's better than I thought!"
"Bastard!" The pain and humiliation made me roar. At that moment, just when I thought I was going to turn around regardless, and beat him hard even if his throat was cut and blood was spattered on the spot, there was a sharp sound. The scream suddenly echoed through the night sky.
"ah--"
I have never heard such a sharp cry. It was like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing my brain, making me confused and forgetting what I wanted to do in an instant.
After a while, I followed the sound mechanically.
I saw, not far from us, a translucent shadow breaking free from Redfield's body.
At this moment, it is floating in mid-air, wearing a large, almost transparent burqa.
I couldn't see its legs, but I could see its face, which held a woman's face, with dry cheeks and high cheekbones.
Perhaps because her skin was dry, her sharp and thin teeth were completely exposed outside her lips, which made her look particularly ferocious.
She looked around with scarlet eyes. Suddenly, her gaze fell firmly on me and Joshua. At that moment, she raised her head again and screamed. The next second, she opened her claws like Li Xuan. Flying toward us like arrows!
"Ah--" The voice shocked me so much that stars almost appeared in my eyes!
"Evil spirit?!" In a moment of dead silence, I heard Joshua exclaiming as I buzzed, "Damn it!" He pushed me forward fiercely, and he also used the force to jump back.
*
I held my sore throat with one hand and climbed behind the big tree in front of me using my hands and feet.
I poked my head out and found that the evil spirit was entangled with Joshua.
It was obvious that even if the evil spirit was as fast as the wind, its long sharp nails could not touch a single strand of Joshua's hair.
And the Syndic Assassin seemed unable to kill the evil spirit at once. Several times, I saw his dagger penetrate the evil spirit's body, but it seemed to penetrate a phantom, without any response. Evil spirits cause even the slightest harm.
It's best if they die together!
I thought viciously and couldn't help but turn my head to look at Gerard in the snow.
I was worried about the wound on his forehead. The dark black blood seemed to have frozen on the ground, but he still didn't move.
The same goes for Redfield on the other side. He was lying in the snow, his eyes widened, but his eyes were as dim as deathly gray.
Holy Light, what should I do? ! They... they won't freeze to death, right? !
"Hiss--" Suddenly, I heard Joshua hiss.
Turning around, I found that the dagger in my hand had broken into two pieces. Not only that, the white frost falling from the evil spirit's fingertips also froze his palm and handle together.
He immediately turned back a few times, and quickly threw half of the dagger and his gloves far away. With his backhand, he took out another sword from under the bloody cloak, arched his back, as if facing the gaze of a powerful enemy. Watching the evil spirit close at hand.
I noticed that it was a sword burning with red magical flames. Even from such a distance, I could feel the heat wave coming from it.
The evil spirit must have noticed it, as its sharp claws bent slightly. The next second, it couldn't help its desire for flesh and blood, and screamed and rushed towards Joshua.
This was the first time I carefully observed that bastard's battle. His speed was so fast that his figure actually appeared as an afterimage in the air!
Turning sideways, picking up the sword, and leaning back, every movement was extremely neat. Moreover, there was no extra arc in his movements, and the evil spirit's claws almost brushed against the side of his face or arm every time.
I couldn't help but touch the dagger hidden in my boots. Maybe, when I had to, I had to go up and help the evil spirit.
Ping--
At that moment, the evil spirit suddenly pulled out his hand and grabbed Joshua's face. The assassin subconsciously raised his hand and used the flaming sword to separate it. At that moment, the evil spirit's right hand and wrist were all chopped off. down.
"Ah--" the evil spirit's miserable cry resounded throughout the sky.
"Oh! So you're afraid of fire!" Joshua chuckled in a hoarse voice. The sword spun rapidly in his hand, and the next second, he held the sword behind his back and stabbed at the evil spirit.
"Ah---" The evil spirit screamed and turned around to run away, but Joshua's sword was faster. It penetrated the evil spirit's chest in one fell swoop. Immediately, the evil spirit's whole body shrank, and the next second, it suddenly collapsed. It became a sky full of debris.
boom--
The assassin turned his head, his bright eyes locked on me, and the corners of his mouth curved upward like a machete. I saw him slowly put the magic sword back on his waist and walked towards me with his feet raised.
I shivered hard and closed my eyes hard. The next second, I stood in the wind of shadows whistling in the sky. But at that second, I was shocked to realize that Joshua’s figure had disappeared!
Without having time to think about anything, I jumped up into the branches of the big tree and took out the dagger in my boots. It was my last weapon.
I stared around in horror, my clenched hands trembling. But at that moment, I suddenly saw something strange.
I have said that this shadow world is filled with dark winds like running water, but for the first time, I discovered that there are countless clouds in the powerful winds. Those dim clouds were constantly billowing, as thick as if they had substance. I don’t know why, but I think it can hide me.
I stared at the gray cloud at my feet, suddenly gritted my teeth, turned over and jumped in.
sand--
Almost at the same moment, I heard a very small sound passing through the tree trunk where I was squatting just now.
"Huh?" Joshua's long voice came over, still coming from all directions as before, "It seems like you have found some hidden tricks, right?"
I bit my lip and curled up into a ball, not daring to move even if my arms were sore from the ice and snow.
I know that he must be close at hand, but as long as I don't make a sound, he will definitely not be able to find me!
"Oh, Rhea, do you like the cat-and-mouse game?" He laughed, and suddenly lowered his voice to a whisper, "Indeed, it's quite exciting. Guess, did I notice you?" "
That sentence made me shiver and my heart jumped into my throat!
"I can hear your heartbeat! Rhea!" Before he finished speaking, I only saw a ray of blood-colored magic flame sweeping towards me mercilessly from behind the thick cloud. In that bright light, Joshua's weathered face broke into my eyes, and I saw his disjointed nose at a glance!
"Oh!" I couldn't help but screamed, leaning against the cold tree trunk and dodging to the side.
boom--
His sword cut deeply into the bark of the tree, and it looked like he wouldn't be able to get his weapon back for a while.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, I stabbed his face viciously with the dagger in my hand. He bared his teeth at me and dodged my attack with a slight tilt of his head. Raising his hand, he grabbed my shoulder.
Extreme fear made me move much faster than usual. Before he touched me, my other fist also arrived, and it hit him hard on the bridge of the nose, knocking him backwards. Nose blood sprayed into the air.
The next second, he lowered his head coldly and stared at me with blood on his face. His expression was very terrifying, with murderous intent bursting out of his eyes, which made my hair stand on end!
I held my breath and raised my hand to try to give him another blow. However, my lightning-like attack only grazed the side of his ear, but my knee hit his lower abdomen firmly. It's not light, he grunted, but his body only moved slightly, but my knees felt a shattering pain from the collision with his plastron.
Without any time to think, I turned around and ran away.
My speed is as fast as the wind, he will definitely not be able to catch me!
However, just when I ran five steps, a gust of icy wind passed by me, and then, right in front of me, Joshua's figure appeared there dragging the afterimage!
Oh my God!
I immediately twisted around in mid-air, and the dance of death took me to another place. But almost at the same moment, the corner of my eye told me that Joshua was slowly disappearing in place like the cold wind, waiting for me to step away. As I charged forward, he appeared directly in front of me again!
I had to use my Death Dance again to avoid him.
once.
twice.
three times!
I was shocked to find that every time he landed, he would get closer to me. Just like now, he almost appeared in front of my nose!
He had a cold face and raised a terrifying huge fist. The power of that fist distorted time and space!
Oh my God! No time to dodge!
boom--
That fist hit my lower abdomen hard!
The huge force caused me to bend my body, spit out a mouthful of sweet liquid, and fly backwards!
I felt like a falling dead leaf, flying in mid-air for a long time before falling hard into the snow. The sharp pain in my lower abdomen, as if my internal organs were exploding, made my ears buzz with buzzing sounds. Blank.
