Chapter 26 Rainy Night
"Boom, boom!!!"
Heavy rain poured down, lightning flashed, and the whole world was dark. On the narrow road, a carriage was speeding forward. The oil lamp hanging outside the carriage was unable to illuminate the road in front of him under such circumstances, and could only vaguely see a small area.
The soldiers responsible for protecting the carriage had basically fled in all directions, with only the Caddo knight still riding beside him. The elf scout sat in the coachman's seat, holding the reins tightly with both hands - if it weren't for the elf's sensitive senses and night vision, I'm afraid the carriage would have fallen to the bottom of a cliff.
In the carriage, Alyssa and her mother were also pale. The carriage was swaying left and right, and the howling wind, thunder and lightning and heavy rain outside were almost nothing that could make them feel at ease. Alyssa's mother clasped her hands together and muttered to herself that she didn't know which god she was praying to, while Alyssa clenched her fists and looked out the car window uneasily.
On the contrary, Ogis seemed quite calm. She sat opposite the two of them and put the suitcase on her lap. There was a book on it - it was Ogis' book from the castle's library before she left. She took a fairy tale book with her, and even under the dim light of an oil lamp, she read it with gusto.
“Buzz————————”
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the wind and rain. The sound was so weak at first that it made people wonder if they heard it wrong. But soon, the sound became louder and louder, as if mosquitoes were swarming towards them.
At this moment, the screams of the elf scouts also sounded from outside the car.
"Be careful, it's rot fly!!!"
At the same time, black shadows fell from the sky.
They were monsters about the size of a person, with two pairs of wings, like a combination of enlarged flies and bugs. They swooped down from the wind and rain and rushed straight towards the carriage. Faced with the attack of the rot flies, everyone became nervous instantly. The old knight held the reins in one hand and drew out the long sword from his waist with the other hand. He roared and slashed hard at the flying rot fly. He immediately cut the flying rot fly in half.
On the other side, the elf held the reins tightly and drove the carriage swaying left and right, trying to escape the pursuit of the rot flies. After all, although rot flies don't have strong attack power, they are very troublesome in groups. If they can't run away, then their group may die here!
"Lord Caddo, get in the carriage quickly!"
Hearing the elf's call, the old knight did not hesitate and drove his horse close to the carriage, then jumped up and landed in front of the carriage. Almost at the same time, several rot flies flew down, knocking the old knight's horse to the ground, ruthlessly tearing its flesh and blood, turning it into a corpse.
The rich smell of blood seemed to further arouse the ferocity of the rot flies. They speeded up again and almost surrounded the carriage. The old knight waved his sword and drove back all the rot flies that tried to approach one after another. But even so, many rot flies began to attack the carriage carriage. Their claws and sharp long jaws began to tear wildly and hit the carriage carriage. At this moment, Alyssa, mother and daughter, were hugging each other shivering in the carriage.
"It's really...troublesome!"
After once again controlling the carriage to throw away the rot flies, the elf scout couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, who is that? Didn't the Black Knight want you to protect us? Help us quickly, otherwise everyone will be dead!!"
Although the Elf Scout didn't know much about Ogis' abilities, she had seen Ogis deal with the Plague Apostle and knew that the taciturn girl had considerable power. If she doesn't take action, everyone might be dead!
"Miss Ogis!"
Hearing the scream of the elf scout, Alyssa also hurriedly looked at Ogis who was still flipping through the book opposite.
"Please help us, everyone will die if this continues!"
"………………"
Facing Alyssa's request, Ogis just raised her head, stared at her, and then nodded slightly.
The next moment, a miracle happened.
The swarm of rot flies that originally surrounded the carriage suddenly shattered, and each rot fly was divided into countless pieces as if cut by an invisible sharp blade. In the blink of an eye, the originally arrogant army of rot flies had completely disappeared. , disappearing into the heavy rain and dark night.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet again, with only the sound of horse hooves and creaking carriages mixed with the wind and rain. The elf scouts and old knights who survived the disaster also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh... It seems that the black knight is quite reliable. I thought..."
“————!!!”
However, before the elf scout finished speaking, suddenly, a huge figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of their carriage. It was a three-meter-tall, swollen, terrifying monster with two terrifying huge claws, and its entire body was covered in swollen muscles and blood vessels. It opened its mouth and its long tongue stuck out, swimming like a poisonous snake. "Chaos Egg!!!"
Seeing this monster, the expressions of the elf scouts and old knights changed drastically. Even they had only heard rumors about this terrifying and terrifying creature. To put it simply, when the body of an evil god believer cannot withstand the power of chaos given by the god he believes in, their body and mind will completely collapse and turn into a brutal and self-aware terrifying monster. This monster is so powerful that it does not distinguish between friend and foe. It is one of the most terrifying enemies that no one wants to encounter.
And now, it was standing in front of the speeding carriage, about to collide with it! !
“Woo………………!!!”
The Elf Scout gritted his teeth and pulled hard on the reins in an attempt to slow down, but it was too late. The Chaos Egg was already howling and flying towards them!
Seeing that this terrifying monster was about to completely collapse the carriage, however, at this moment, the huge body of the Chaos Egg suddenly trembled in mid-air and stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, a shining bolt of thunder cut through the rain curtain and blasted directly towards the Chaos Egg! ! !
"Boom!!!"
The thunder warhammer hit the Chaos Egg's chest directly, sending it flying. At the same time, Duanmu Huai fell down like a divine weapon descending from the sky. The chain sword in his hand made a roar that was no less than thunder, and pointed at the Chaos Egg. Chopping down hard.
However, the Chaos Egg was obviously not easy to deal with. Duanmu Huai had just approached, and its claws suddenly extended and lashed towards Duanmu Huai like a long whip. Faced with the Chaos Egg's attack, Duanmu Huai could only withdraw his sword and retreat, but before he had time, he was hit by the Chaos Egg's whip and took a few steps back.
Hey, you shouldn't be reckless when dealing with this kind of thing, make mistakes and make mistakes.
Looking at the words [LV30] above the Chaos Egg, Duanmuhuai silently put away the idea of going up and fighting with it. Then as his thoughts changed, a card appeared in front of Duanmuhuai again, and then turned into One was wearing a black tattered long skirt and looked as thin as a withered ghost. Like an evil spirit, it raised its skinny hands and screamed at the Chaos Egg. Not to be outdone, the Chaos Egg got up and grabbed the black-haired evil spirit with one claw. Then the evil spirit screamed in the air. Disappeared, and the Chaos Egg suddenly stagnated, then fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.
【Ghost (Bronze)】
【Consumption: 2】
【Attack: 2】
【Defense: 2】
【Must Kill】
In terms of combat effectiveness, the ghost is not very strong, but its [sure-kill] characteristic makes it an absolute threat on the battlefield. Especially for a guy like Chaos Egg whose brains have been strengthened into muscles, facing a [certain kill] that will kill him just by touching him, he has no choice but to die.
After solving the chaos eggs, Duanmu Huai also caught up with the elf scouts and others. Everyone was relieved to see that Duanmu Huai was fine. But soon, bigger trouble came.
"We can't escape at all if we continue like this."
Pointing to the map in front of her, the elf scout looked bitter. She originally wanted to go to her stronghold, but now it seemed impossible.
"Obviously, the army of the God of Filth has flooded this area, and it is almost impossible to leave here without alerting them."
"The advantage in numbers is indeed troublesome."
Duanmuhuai also nodded. There were only so many of them. If the believers of the God of Filth were determined to catch them, they would not be the match for the followers of the God of Filth. As I said before, the God of Filth was so broken. The thing is cold-blooded and has no bottom line in recruiting believers. As long as it is willing, the people in the entire territory may become believers of the God of Filth... It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
But it's not completely impossible.
"In that case, let's take a road where they don't dare to chase us."
"Where is this kind of place?"
"Of course."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai looked at the map in front of him.
"For example...a place where no life dares to enter."
