Midnight, ugly time.
"Hey!"
"Ah!"
"Hey!"
"Ah!"
"Hurry up, you lazy, lazy creatures!"
"The masons left the engravings, and the others should evacuate quietly. I will kill anyone who dares to disturb Lord Saqi's rest!"
Accompanied by the heavy breathing of the orc coolie and the sound of the whip tearing flesh apart, an extremely hard humanoid stone sculpture was firmly placed on both sides of the quiet path.
This is the atrium of the huge house where Blackbeard Sachi lives. The atrium is filled with sparse bamboos. It's midnight in the cold winter, and the change in temperature has caused a layer of frost to cover the bamboos in these courtyards.
The cold wind blows, the bamboo leaves sway gently, and the frost keeps falling downwards. What catches the frost are the lifelike human-shaped stone sculptures placed on both sides of the sightseeing trail——
Some of them are majestic and majestic, maintaining the posture of raising their axes to chop; some of them have jade trees facing the wind, with swords around their waists about to be unsheathed, and some of them are slightly sideways, maintaining a running and galloping posture, and so on, with various shapes and strange shapes!
However, the expressions on the faces of these humanoid stone sculptures are almost the same:
Doubt, unwillingness, or fear.
If someone were to count from the starting point of the sightseeing trail to the end of the trail, plus the human-shaped stone sculptures that had just been placed, the number of stone sculptures would be forty-four in total!
The forty-four lifelike human-shaped stone sculptures, with their extremely realistic postures, make everyone who comes to visit doubt whether these stone sculptures were made by the craftsmen and whether there is living life in these stone sculptures!
In fact, these stone sculptures are indeed not made by artists such as Michelangelo or Auguste Rodin from another world. These stone sculptures are all living people who were forcibly petrified by the Medusa Legion. The strong men who dare to cause trouble in the devil's capital must have at least the fourth level of combat power!
In addition to the stone sculptures that have just been placed, there is a nameplate in front of each stone sculpture, recording the strength, life, and crimes of each troublemaker for visitors to read and feel unworthy of these powerful people. , further raising the awe of the Imperial Army!
In front of the stone sculpture that has just been moved here, the originally empty nameplate will also be carved with a series of new inscription records by the stonemason!
Pirate Jojo, this is the first character carved by a stonemason!
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
The tinkling sound of chiseling the wall is endless, and it is particularly harsh on this empty and quiet sightseeing trail. The cold wind passes through the thick arms of the craftsmen and brushes over the branches hung with frost. The body and the bamboo are shivering. The frost falling on the leaves made the mason subconsciously raise his head.
Um?
Why is there a small hole cracked in the chest of the stone sculpture?
Curiosity drove the mason to straighten up and look into the hole. However, at the same time, a blood-colored mist suddenly burst out from the hole. After the blood mist passed through the mason's face, it gathered in an instant. Not far behind him, he turned into a complete person
class appearance.
But the mason rolled his eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.
"Huh, it's really dangerous!"
Opening his arms and inhaling the biting cold wind deeply into his lungs, George finally regained the feeling of being alive in the world.
George was lucky to escape Medusa's petrification and narrowly escaped death. Thanks to the help of future vision, before starting this life and death race, George already knew his ending under three different options:
Fight to the death, fight in roundabout ways and escape with all your strength.
But in none of the three endings, George survived!
Fortunately, future vision also allowed George to see the last scene before death. Compared with the first two tragic scenes of falling in a pool of blood, escaping into a trap set by the Imperial Army, and finally being completely petrified by Medusa, it seems more tragic. There is a possibility of survival——
While traveling with the pirates, George had a confrontation with Medusa. At that time, George had already analyzed the mechanism by which Medusa's petrified sight was particularly lethal to living creatures.
Similar to the corrosive snake venom, the lethality of Medusa's petrified sight is divided into two parts: petrified corrosion and petrified curse. Petrified corrosion can start from the surface layer, petrifying the organic and inorganic matter that Medusa's pupils are locked on; while the petrified curse , and even more like the snake venom, it can penetrate the surface of a living body and cast a curse on the blood of the living body. Through the blood flow, the petrifying curse can be spread throughout the body instantly!
For ordinary creatures, the petrification curse is undoubtedly fatal, but for vampires who are masters of blood control, as long as the blood energy is spread throughout the body, the outermost layer of blood energy will act like a protective film to prevent petrification and corrosion. The petrification curse further erodes George's body!
Of course, this is just a theoretical hypothesis. George has no time to verify the feasibility of the theory. The situation is already extremely urgent. It is impossible for George to slowly do experiments with white mice anymore, so he can only gamble and use the maximum amount of money. Try to bet on the possibility of your own survival!
Fortunately, he won the bet.
Naturally, George failed to anticipate the trap of the Floating Bridge, but Future Vision had already told George that he would end up being petrified by the Medusa shooter here. Therefore, the second before George finally cut the road and slid into the water, George used the secret skill of the vampires-the art of blood control.
All the small animals around him that George could sense, such as rats in the sewers, schools of fish in the rivers, low-flying birds, etc., George drew out all the blood energy in their bodies and covered it on the surface of his body. !
Even though he was mentally prepared, the power of the Medusa shooter was far beyond George's imagination. The concentrated fire of the Medusa shooter instantly petrified the blood energy on the surface, and even continued to invade the inside. As a last resort, George drew out again After absorbing nearly one-third of the blood energy in the body, a complete and extremely strong petrified film was formed on the outside of the body, which deceived all the imperial troops present!
"Huh! Fortunately, the old thief Saqi has a habit of collecting complete stone statues. Otherwise, if someone knocks the stone statues apart in advance, I will have to find other ways to escape!"
After carefully knocking open his stone statue, changing into clothes and equipment, and drinking tons of bottles of healing potions and mana potions stored in the space ring, George finally regained some strength——
So, the next step is to escape from this mansion!
Bang!
Just as George was thinking this, the door to the cabinet suddenly opened. Stimulated by the sound, George couldn't help but instinctively set up a battle-prepared posture, staring intently at the shadow hiding behind the door.
However, no living thing came out of the shadow. What greeted George was just the warm and sweet fragrance emanating from the door. This fragrance was like an invisible green jade hand, gently He gently stroked George's throat, making him stop and look sideways.
Please enter the urn!
George couldn't refuse this move that made no secret of its purpose!
Thinking of this, George smiled. Now that he has been discovered, there is nothing to hide. Thousands of troops and horses have escaped, why should I still be afraid of this Hongmen Banquet?
Isn't it the supreme leader of the Kaos Empire, Blackbeard Sazi? Just wait for me for a while!
