Their inference was wrong. Even long-dead corpses would attack them. Their hard scales slowly opened up, as if they were in the sea.
The mermaid slowly turned his head in their direction. He had determined his target. If he wanted to escape, now was the best time. If he didn't, a bloody battle would follow.
The outcome may even have been predicted by original sin in a dream.
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly thought of Original Sin's words. At that time, there seemed to be something terrible hidden in its eyes.
"I think it's better to leave first."
Ethan's choice is correct. Staying here is undoubtedly an act of waiting for death.
In the eyes of monsters, these humans are probably just ants struggling in the world, beings that can be solved with almost no effort.
"leave."
Jiang Chenchuan said slowly that they really had no good solution. No matter whether it was manpower or weapons, there was no possibility of fighting against the behemoth in front of them.
Yulia didn't speak anymore, but nodded in agreement with Jiang Chenchuan's idea. All the nearby buildings and scenes were stained with sticky blood. She raised the Spear of Palutru, but she couldn't find a place to start.
"There."
Ethan pointed to the distance, but if he wanted to reach the open space over there, it might take some twists and turns.
It can be seen that Yulia is a little nervous. It is the first time she faces such a terrifying scene. I am afraid no one else would be too calm.
The corpses of the infected people they killed floated up one after another. Obviously, there were not many in number.
"I don't know why, I always feel like I'm going to die here."
Yulia lowered her eyes. The difficulties on the way forward made her a little disappointed. It was really difficult to cross the blood river below, and with the mermaid guarding her.
"If we want to prevent its attention from focusing on us, I'm afraid we have to use some means."
"Do you have any good ideas? Ethan."
Jiang Chenchuan asked.
As long as the giant thing moves casually, it can cause quite a storm. I am afraid that the infected people in Ronark City have also seen it, but no one has gone here.
Human nature always seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
No one wants to make unnecessary sacrifices.
"There is a magic circle that requires a steady stream of blood, but it can play a big role here."
In Ethan's eyes, everything he sees is decomposed into corresponding elements. He should be grateful for his familiarity with the alchemical formation. As long as he can have replacement raw materials, everything is possible.
"Evel, Yulia, cover me!"
Their emotions gradually became higher as they moved, which in turn dissipated some of their fear of giant creatures.
In order to survive, what can humans do to what extent?
"So, how much time do I need to buy you? Ethan."
"ten minutes."
Ethan quickly replied, and the three of them immediately took action, put down everything in their hands, and focused on assisting Ethan in completing the alchemy circle.
Just after they started moving, the mermaid seemed to have lost its target. Its empty eyes were looking around blankly, not wanting to be so aggressive at the beginning.
Jiang Chenchuan also took this opportunity to observe it carefully. It was not completely invulnerable. Except for the fact that it would be pulled into the illusion when it got close, the rest of the battle was not a problem.
"Still thinking about rushing up to fight with it?"
Ethan came to Jiang Chenchuan's side, using a relaxed and joking tone, as if they were out of crisis and could still chat so leisurely.
But it has to be said that Ethan's state can really help them relax the tense atmosphere. He is sketching complex formations and mumbling words like prayers.
Have a fight?
If he was high-spirited back then, he would probably think this was a good idea.
Following the rules of the world, no matter how complicated the formation is, it seems to become much simpler under Ethan's hands.
"By the way, at that time...did you hear a cat meow?"
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly remembered something.
"What? Cat? How is it possible..."
Yulia shook her head and denied.
"Maybe I heard wrong."
Without worrying too much about this matter, he looked over to Ethan. As the formation was complete, a few drops of blood slowly floated up and gathered on the formation.
"I have said that the power of life and soul is the most important exchange."
Ethan's words fell, and the circle under his hand gradually became complete.
"This technique looks extremely aggressive."
After all, it was Ethan's attention, which basically had nothing to do with the fight.
"Get ready, it's time for us to leave."
Ethan waved his hand in greeting.
The familiar sound of prayer sounded, the elements gathered one by one, and the magic circle lit up under Ethan's control. It was the courage to challenge unknown creatures, and it was also the strongest attack alchemy circle that Ethan could make at present.
Just like industrial cannons, just a few alchemical elements can match technology. No wonder the world cannot develop at the same pace as modern times. As long as there is one variable, the course of history can change dramatically.
"The life keeps coming, the attacks keep coming."
The huge ball of light flew towards the mermaid like a cannonball. Faced with such an attack, the mermaid obviously reacted violently.
It can be seen that the power of the light ball is not small. Even the hard fish scales have been cracked, but they are still far away from breaking through the defense.
It doesn't even count as hurting it.
But it has to be said that the automatic attack of the formation brought them great convenience. After the mermaid was enraged and completely changed its target, the three of them climbed down secretly and stepped back into the blood river, leaving their already sticky bodies , and was stained with that fishy smell.
But in order to leave, I had to cross this distance.
It's another round of automatic light ball attacks, and it doesn't require Ethan's control. I heard that only high-level alchemists can master this technique and use it in battle.
When it hit the mermaid, it let out an angry roar. The sound was so sharp and harsh that the three people in the blood river couldn't help but cover their ears.
Mortals had no choice but to wait until the mermaids vented their anger and their voices weakened before they could move on.
They struggled in the bloody water, only to hear a scream. Yulia was knocked down by the infected body rushing over, and the scene became chaotic. Jiang Chenchuan held her hand in time to prevent her from being washed away.
"Hold on to me, Julia Decavo!"
The wet fingers kept sliding out, and the formation launched another round of attacks. The mermaid became a little hysterical at the pain of this scratch. Ethan saw the situation here and wanted to come over to help, but the originally short journey... It became extremely long.
He rushed over and grabbed Yulia, and after stabilizing his body, he continued to walk forward.
It seemed as if the whole earth was shaking. The mermaid reached out to grab the formation. The fish tail swept in the opposite direction and brushed over their heads. The huge body occupied their entire field of vision.
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have dealt with such an enemy a long time ago. At that time, a group of people were talking and laughing, relying on their high-tech weapons, and did not take such a giant creature seriously.
A figure knelt on the ground, trembling and pleading uncontrollably, but no one cared about his thoughts. He tore off the bandages on his body and burst out with earth-shattering power.
The world tramples on the gods, and the gods abandon the world.
wrong?
Whose memory is this?
Jiang Chenchuan was a little slow and even stopped. Ethan walked out not far away and finally grabbed the wall at the edge. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Chenchuan stopped not far away.
"Evel! What are you waiting for?"
Not understanding his behavior at all, even Ethan became a little anxious.
The corpses and debris of the infected people were flowing around his body. When Jiang Chenchuan came back to his senses, the fragmentary images in his mind suddenly disappeared.
This feeling was like an amnesia patient who had finally remembered something and lost his memory again. The feeling of powerlessness swept over Jiang Chenchuan in an instant.
Yulia reached the other side, and Ethan pulled her up from the bloody water. She sat on the steps and panted. She turned around and saw Jiang Chenchuan's lingering figure.
"Evel!"
They shouted Ivel's name. After so long, Jiang Chenchuan was still unfamiliar with this name.
The low roar of the mermaid was heard in its ears. It lowered its head and seemed to notice the little man standing in the bloody water. It swung its tail and swept him into the wind and waves.
"Evel!"
Yulia was hoarse.
But after this attack, Jiang Chenchuan was nowhere to be seen. He was already covered in scars and didn't have much strength to move. He had always protected Yulia and Ethan very well.
Blood flowed from the wound, mixed with the dirty water, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.
He was drawn into the tail of the fish, passively accepting the impact of various dangers. Jiang Chenchuan felt that his brain was congested with blood, and his vision suddenly became dark. He tried to reach out to grab something, but all came to nothing. .
He could hear nothing but tinnitus, and he didn't even hear Yulia's call.
"But if you recycle it... you'll die."
It was already at this time, but the original sin's warning to him appeared in his mind involuntarily. It seemed to have seen through the cause and effect, and had also seen the outcome of Jiang Chenchuan's risky recovery.
The scene was like a farewell, with slightly compassionate and painful eyes, and it always felt like there was some unspeakable emotion hidden inside.
"it's wired……"
It's hard to explain exactly what's strange, it's just a bit of incomprehensible emotion and puzzle-like words.
The noisy sounds were far and near, and the pain all over his body had reached its peak. Even if Jiang Chenchuan tried to do something else, he had lost his strength.
Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan's figure had completely disappeared, Yulia became anxious. Ethan understood very well that the attack of the alchemy array could only give some pain to the mermaid and divert attention, but could not cause much harm.
It can be said that if they were in Polnia, maybe the alchemy institute and the museum could work together to find a way to deal with the mermaid, but in Ronark City, they were weaker than England Beir in terms of industry and alchemy. s country.
The relics they brought were unable to fight against such an enemy.
"Ethan, what should we do, what should we do! We have to save Evel!"
She couldn't accept such a result. She was always calm and calm in her heart, and it seemed that a man who was omnipotent would die in such a place inexplicably.
I'm afraid not only her, but also Ethan can't accept such an ending.
Jiang Chenchuan thought that he was just an ordinary person.
How far can human beings go?
Jiang Chenchuan reluctantly opened his eyes. There were scars all over his body. His internal organs were probably damaged by the violent impact, so even breathing became very difficult.
There was a thick blood mist in front of his eyes, and only some light came in. He tried to struggle to get up, but found that his arms had no strength at all. It seemed that except for his consciousness, everything else fell into a deep sleep.
Looking down slightly, he saw the spikes that penetrated his chest, like sharp spears, pinning him in the bloody water. The water was moving slowly, and he could still see the figure of the mermaid.
No wonder da Silva would describe it as an evil god. Perhaps based on their knowledge, this is the most terrifying creature they have ever seen.
It’s over, the original sin was right.
He might actually be dying.
There was no miracle this time. Unlike that quick and fatal shot, Jiang Chenchuan could feel the passage of his life and the gradual blurring of his consciousness.
A feeling of sleepiness comes over me, and as soon as I relax, I can fall asleep.
But his mind seemed to be blank, there was nothing, and he didn't think about anything. Is this the end?
Or, when he wakes up, who will he be in and start a new life?
How can you do this……
Just put this contaminated relic in this city, let it infect humans ragingly, and plunge the world into chaos.
This must be a disaster, right?
If it cannot be solved, it will be the same wherever you hide...
But, how to solve it?
Jiang Chenchuan didn't know how he could think about so many random things in such a short period of time.
He is going to die.
Maybe it will be a minute later, maybe... the next second...
If he could come back from the dead, what would he do when he woke up?
Still a detective?
If he went to find Lochran, would he recognize himself?
It's really useless.
Jiang Chenchuan thought of the scene when he set out, so many people came to a strange country, early winter... No, it should be Golightly, she died so suddenly, without any warning... And Ethan and Yulia, If the two of them had escaped, they would have succeeded...
Really bad.
I came here rashly without being fully prepared...
"Wow--"
The sudden sound interrupted Jiang Chenchuan's random thoughts. He had never had so many sentimental thoughts. If he got caught up in his emotions, it would be easy for Original Sin to take advantage of him.
Therefore, he not only has to use weapons to fight, but also uses thinking and vigilance to protect himself from pollution sources.
"It's Yvel!"
"Found it! Ethan, I found him!"
suddenly……
He heard Yulia's cry in his ears.
