Hearing Gawain's words, Artolis recovered from her surprise and immediately thought of the figure flying past her just now. The Knight Commander is not dead yet?
"Nonsense, that guy is close to level three. If you can kill him with one move, that's a huge bargain!"
This was of course a joke. Although he was not killed directly, Artolis estimated that the other party also suffered a lot of damage. Therefore, Artoris raised her sword-edged bow and killed the zombie knight captain embedded in the cliff not far away.
"Ouch!"
The knight commander, holding a gun in both hands and his whole body burning with vermilion flames, rushed out from the cracks in the cliff wall and roared towards Atoris. The seemingly heavy metal armor was in vain on the knight commander's body. His legs started running, and his speed actually caught up with Artoris, who was wearing leather armor.
Completely ignoring the burning flames on his body, the knight commander waved the black gun, turned 360 degrees and pushed the gun body out from his waist. The pitch-black fighting spirit shook open some of the flames, turning into violent waves and blasting straight out.
While moving at high speed, Artolis's pupils shrank and she quickly jumped to the side. Her forward movement was interrupted, and Artolis heard the sound of gravel being torn apart as she rolled under the inertia. After stopping, Artolis got up and turned around, only to find that there was a half-meter wide ravine on the road she was going straight on.
"What a domineering attack!" Atoris took a breath and stopped moving forward. Atoris strung up her sword-blade bow, and a magic arrow was placed on the sword-blade bow.
Artoris found that the opponent had no shield in his hand. It seemed that it had been blown away in the explosion just now. If that's the case, then why do we have to take risks in close combat? Just let go of the bow.
The battle situation gradually became dramatic. From a distance, Artoris was avoiding the knight commander's attacks while constantly counterattacking with magic arrows.
Xilu helped the overdrawn Gawain to the corner and happened to see this scene. Her skills were not as good as Artolis's, and she couldn't shoot arrows either, so she just shouted "come on" from the sidelines. Seeing Gawain sweating for a while, he took a bite of an apple to restore his spiritual power (actually eating high-grade meat has a better recovery effect, but Gawain couldn't eat any barbecue at this time), Gawain suddenly realized that they seemed to have forgotten something. ——Undead horse!
Artoris noticed that the knight commander's movements were gradually slowing down. Sure enough, this method was effective. As long as he continued like this, he would definitely kill the opponent.
At this moment, a dark figure appeared like lightning and suddenly joined the battlefield. Artoris was shocked when she saw that figure. Yes, she actually forgot about this incident.
The eyes of the undead horse that broke away from the knight commander emitted red light, and as it flew through the air, its two front hooves emitted black light and stamped on the ground violently. In an instant, the ground three to four meters in diameter exploded. The stamping was so powerful that even the cliffs on both sides trembled.
Of course, the undead horse didn't just show off and show off its power. The next moment, the ground under Artolis' feet suddenly started to tremble, as if something was about to come out from underneath.
When Atoris saw this, she immediately jumped back. And almost at the same time she jumped away, a thick earth thorn broke out of the ground where she had been standing. The sharp thorns pierced the toes of Artoris, which made Artolis break out in cold sweat. Before Artolis could stand firm, a second thorn came out immediately.
Gawain also felt that something was wrong underground, and quickly pushed Xilu away from him. The moment he pushed away, earth thorns appeared in the area where the two of them were.
"Run!" Gawain shouted to Xilu, and he dragged his tired body into action.
After finally dodging another attack from the earth thorns, the knight commander's attack came again. The spear that swept out struck Artoris's sword-blade bow, sending it flying away.
"It hurts!" This blow really broke through the Taiqing Sword Qi. Artoris lay on the ground unable to move, and at this moment there was another sound from the ground.
"Move!" Seeing this scene, even the usually calm Gawain panicked. He no longer had the spiritual power to save Artolis. She would die if this continued!
"I can't move..." At this time, Artolis discovered that the death energy wrapped around the opponent's gun actually had a paralyzing effect. The death energy entered from Atoris's wound and completely paralyzed her body.
"I...don't want...to die..."
Time seemed to be suspended at this moment, and Artoris's chaotic thoughts recalled the past. The memories seemed to use her own words to tell this thing that Artolis had almost forgotten:
"I cried on the way to the Knights Camp that day. Tears broke down again. I was helpless and walked like this. I no longer dared to be proud and ask for anything. What else can I say, what else can I do? I really hope you can hear it... "
That was Artoris' inner monologue after learning that Fred's old captain had died. Why did he participate in that battle? Didn’t it say that the Knights had a particularly powerful big sister? Why still...
Unconsciously, Artolis felt that her body had become cold. Could it be that she was already dead?
"Artolis!" Artolis soon felt something was wrong when she heard Gawain's call. She found that the ground beneath her body was frozen by a layer of hard ice. And the coldness she felt was conveyed by this ice.
"This is..." Not only Artoris, but Gawain also discovered this situation.
"So, you called me here just to deal with this guy?" The arrogant voice of a young boy reached the ears of the three of them. Gawain turned his head and saw a small group of young people walking towards this side from the opposite direction where the three of them entered the canyon, talking and laughing.
"Brother Hao, this is Sister Qianyin's order. Let us come here to clear out the monsters. There is no way we can refuse."
"Ye Jian Qianyin, she just asked Barong to come over. And can you guys practice more? You are so weak. It will take a long time to fight the ugly corpse on the horse just now." This young man known as Brother Hao Putting his hands on the back of his head, he walked casually at the front.
"Haha, Brother Hao, you know that Barong is the son of Duke Massa, and I heard from Sister Qianyin that he might have a breakthrough recently, so... Also, what if we also have the strength of you or Barong? I need your help!"
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I'm too lazy to listen. Look, there's an ugly corpse on horseback here. Please hurry up and go back."
The young man looked unhappy, as if he was very dissatisfied with the answer of the person behind him.
The young man walked up to Artolis and asked, "Are you going to register as cultivators at the root of Yectrasil?"
Hearing the boy's voice, Artoris could only nod her head as she was still affected by paralysis and could not speak.
"It seems that Sister Qianyin is right. This place is indeed a bit dangerous for new cultivators." A young man with a sword in the team said.
"Okay, I saved people, even if I didn't come in vain." The young man twirled his fingers, and then said to the people behind him: "You guys protect these three people, let me come to this ugly corpse!"
