Chapter 378 The Fall of the Black Rider (2-in-1)
The easternmost coastline of the empire.
At the same time, this area also belongs to the area of Iwabang Melaleuca City.
The red disaster did not wreak havoc on the city seriously, but it had some impact, so that fishing boats going out to sea became increasingly rare.
It is now the depth of winter. Under the dim and gloomy sky, on the top of a dilapidated lighthouse, several old guards are smoking inferior cigarettes, carrying half a bottle of cheap liquor, and looking at the sea level through binoculars, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
Through the snowflakes in the sky, they could vaguely see the far coastline, filled with vast and rich darkness. The darkness was like a dark cloud, but connected to the sky and the earth, and kept squirming like a living thing. It was so deep that it seemed to be able to swallow everything, which was horrifying.
Several old guards had never seen such an abnormal phenomenon in their lives, and they found it unbelievable.
"Una, am I dazzled? What on earth is that?!"
"I'm pretty sure you're not dazzled, old guy, because we can all see it clearly! But only the sun knows what it is... It can't be your constipated butthole!"
"Don't waste time, let the sailing ships return quickly. If you really want to crash into it, no one knows what terrible things will happen!"
A few old guys exchanged a few words and cursed briefly. One of them picked up an old-fashioned microphone from the communication device on the table and pressed a few buttons.
The old guard took a long puff of cigarette and shouted into the microphone:
"This is the coastal lighthouse... Little Muno, return quickly and don't go any further. There is a damn darkness over there, and we don't know what's in it... For the sake of your lame father and the newly married woman. Girl, turn around and come back!”
A long while.
There was no echo on the other end of the phone, just a loud, sizzling noise.
The old guard had no choice but to repeat it again, but this time there was still no response.
He cursed, hung up the radio, and dialed the next ship's channel again.
"Hey! This is the Coast Lighthouse..."
After notifying more than a dozen ships sailing in one go, little Muno did not respond, which made several old guards feel depressed.
He is a great young man. I have watched him grow up. If something happens...
well!
At this time, one of the guards was still observing the sea level with a telescope, but suddenly saw a figure in a black hat and dress appearing in mid-air.
His whole body shook violently, and he almost fell down in fright.
"What's wrong?! Old Una?"
"I...I seem to see a person flying in the sky!"
"Damn it! Did you drink too much?!"
"I didn't..."
But when the old guard named Una looked again, he found that there was no human figure in the sky except for the dull sky. Several other people also didn't find the "flying man", and they cursed quickly, which made Old Una extremely depressed.
Chen Lun's body has arrived on this sea based on the anchor point provided by Mr. Byers. He just felt the prying eyes from the lighthouse, but he didn't pay attention.
Directly ahead, a darkness blocked the way. He frowned and stood still in the air.
'That's Mr. Byers' breath...He's in it. ’
But his spiritual intuition told him that there was a strong danger in the darkness!
Chen Lun's heart sank.
He knew that Mr. Byers was in a very bad state at the moment, so much so that his extraordinary power was out of control and spread out into this "dark realm" that did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
He looked up at the sky and saw icy snowflakes blowing on him with the cold wind.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and was about to try to enter the darkness to search for the whereabouts of Mr. Byers. But at this moment, on the sea below, an old fishing boat slowly drifted out of the darkness.
His eyes narrowed and he sensed that there was still life on the ship.
‘It’s a fishing boat that strayed into the realm of night… Maybe we can learn about the situation inside through these fishermen. ’
He thought for a moment and moved to the deck of the fishing boat in an instant.
To his surprise, all the cargo barrels on the ship burst open and became a mess, and all the live fish that were salvaged had undergone horrific changes!
Their fish scales fell off one after another, disgusting and dense black deformed feathers grew, and their bodies were covered with yellowish-brown pus! The live fish opened its mouth, revealing its densely packed fangs, and made a strange crow-like cry. The fish's eyes were dark and full of malice, twisting and jumping around on the deck like hairballs.
After seeing Chen Lun, they all gathered around and then exploded on their own.
Boom boom boom!
After the blood mist dispersed, a "wall" composed of pale snakes was revealed. They were twisting and twisting, and their bodies were covered with black feathers. Chen Lun, who was hiding behind, was unscathed.
He looked at the thick layer of flesh and blood at his feet and smelled the strong smell of fish and stench in his nose. He couldn't help but frown and raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose.
"Huh?!"
Chen Lun suddenly found that his control over the snakes was weakening, and they seemed to be undergoing irreversible changes... The "wall" collapsed, and the snakes covered with black feathers swam freely on the deck, and their eyes began to turn black. The scales fall off and more feathers grow...
He even wanted to attack Chen Lun as the "subject"!
‘Myth pollution…’
Chen Lun's face was solemn.
While he still had some control, he immediately disintegrated the snake group.
Puff puff——
The group of snakes that were undergoing changes disintegrated one by one and turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
With a calm heart, Chen Lun stepped through the "mud carpet" of flesh and blood and went straight to the cockpit at the bow of the ship. Twist open the pressure valve and kick it open.
Inside, the three sailors and the young man who was the captain had all lost their original human appearance!
They... They looked like bird-men at the moment, their bodies covered with deformed black feathers, with a total of four hooked beaks protruding from the sides of their noses, mouths and cheeks, and their eyes were dark. The hands and feet are covered with pus, bright yellow cuticles and lines, and the fingers are like bird claws!
Wow! !
Wow wow!
They made strange and uncomfortable screams, fluttering and shaking, and rushed over!
Whoosh whoosh——
Several playing cards flew by and were nailed to the inner wall of the iron sheet. Chen Lun frowned and looked at it, becoming more certain that the people and fish in this boat were all in the realm of night and were accidentally spread by Mr. Byers. Come out with the pollution!
‘Mr. Byers… is probably out of control! ’
Chen Lun looked ugly.
These fishermen are hopeless. This level of high-level pollution is irreversible... If they are allowed to drift ashore as fishing boats drift ashore, it is likely to cause chain pollution to coastal residents, until it causes a catastrophic spread.
He lowered his eyes, raised his hand, and [Fireworks in the Palm] spurred out extraordinary flames, enveloping the four arakkoa... They screamed until they were burned to ashes.
Chen Lun breathed a sigh of relief and went out to check the entire fishing boat. After confirming that there were no living creatures, he used the air to walk and escaped directly into the darkness.

Inside the dark, dark area.
Chen Lun was sullen and kept flying forward.
The heavy snow that was originally falling has dissipated here. Although the surroundings are cold, nothing can be seen or touched... Vision, smell, and even spiritual intuition all seem to have failed.
From the depths of darkness, a beast-like croaking scream could be faintly heard.
Chen Lun suddenly felt that the cry went straight into his soul, as if it penetrated his body.
The hairs all over my body stand on end!
The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
So Chen Lun began to pray to Mr. Byers, trying to find out his current state.
However, there was no response.
'Mr Byers...'
Chen Lun gritted his teeth and accelerated his flying speed.
Tens of seconds later, he reached the depths smoothly, and something strange like the scream of a bird was so close!
Finally, he saw clearly what was not far ahead...
A strange-looking creature was twisting wildly!
That is the "Blackbird" that is eight meters and nearly nine meters high! The whole body is covered with arm-length deep down and crow feathers, three tumor-shaped bird heads of different shapes, looking up to the sky and screaming. The inner sides of the hands and feet still retain the human shape, connected to the wing membrane, and there is a human head on the tail...< br>
On that head was the face of Mr. Byers!
But his expression at this moment was full of pain and unwillingness.
His eyes were crazy and inhuman.
"Ah... Terrence... Rafa... ah... destiny..."
Byers' mouth was murmuring simple words.
Chen Lun looked at this scene and was shocked and speechless.
He knows that this is the mythical biological form of the saint...
At the same time, it is also their true appearance!
They usually show themselves as humans, just for convenience, and at the same time, it also prevents mortals and even low-sequence extraordinary beings from being contaminated and losing control and dying suddenly after seeing their true appearance!
Saints generally will not reveal their mythical creature forms unless they do so voluntarily...
"Ha——!!!"
The three knob-like heads of the giant black bird all stared at Chen Lun.
The head at the end also turned around. Byers twisted his face and shouted at him:
"Die! Die!! Hahahaha! Die, die!"
boom! !
Not seeing how he would take action, Chen Lun felt a tightness in his chest, and then severe pain struck him.
His bones shattered and he flew backwards.
Chen Lun endured the pain and noticed that his blood bar dropped by more than half!
Just one blow almost killed him instantly...
He immediately activated the [Jingzhe] bookmark and the extraordinary biological characteristic of "Split Resurrection" to heal himself, and at the same time shouted:
"Mr. Byers! I'm Jack! Wake up!"
But what responded to him was the scream in the back of his head.
Chen Lun's expression changed.
His thoughts were racing in his mind and he shouted again:
“Have you forgotten your lover ‘Youlan’ Ogot?!”
Whoosh!
A sharp, ferocious pitch-black bird's claw stopped at the back of Chen Lun's head, and a trace of blood flowed from his hair...
The giant black bird looked down at him, trembling all over, swaying its tail slightly, and moved the head to Chen Lun. Mr. Byers looked struggling, and his eyes became clear.
Looking at Chen Lun, he forced out a smile.
"Jack, you're here...I'm sorry that I hurt you."
"Mr. Byers, what is going on?"
Chen Lun breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.
The other party was silent for two seconds and shook his head.
"I don't have much time... I can only tell you that my revenge failed. On the way to escape from serious injuries, I was ambushed by Rafa... He seemed to have been prepared to use an unsolvable mystery. Things, trapping me to death.”
The veins on Byers' face were visible, but he resisted the crazy attack and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"He seems to be eager for the power in me. As [Sequence 4-Sin Eater], Rafa wants the high-level characteristics of the Moon Path... I don't want him to succeed, but in desperation, I can only use [Sequence 4-Ferry] [Human] ability to ferry my own soul and use the power of death to escape temporarily... However, I can only stay in this world for a few more hours, and then I will die completely... There is not much time left now."
Chen Lun listened to Mr. Byers' calm words, his hands and feet felt cold and his heart sank.
His ominous premonition finally came true...
He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Byers.
"Let me finish first..."
He said solemnly.
"Originally I didn't notice it, but after ferrying my soul, I am now only one step away from real death... Relying on my high position and weight, I feel that my own destiny seems to have been changed... Jack, as your destiny Those who take the extraordinary path must be careful in the future!”
Chen Lun was shocked.
He immediately ignored the possibility of backlash and used his spy on Mr. Byers——
boom! !
Chen Lun leaned back as if his brain was suddenly hit, and blood flowed from his eyes.
But in his confusion, he also saw the fate of Mr. Byers... Indeed, as he said, there were traces of human manipulation.
Chen Lun endured the pain and turned on [Multi-tasking] at full speed, thinking about clues from the past.
He asked Biles a few key questions out loud, and the latter responded calmly. In the end, Chen Lun confirmed one thing——
‘Howard…He did it all! ’
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The first time I met Howard, it was me who helped Mr. Byers resist the encirclement and suppression... And the surviving captain of the executioner team, Talleyrand... he was most likely a chess piece in Howard's works. In Mr. Byers's case, This critical moment of revenge, at the cost of his life, placed a curse on Mr. Byers.
And this curse will not have much impact normally.
But it happened to be the time for Mr. Byers to take revenge on Terrence...
It became the straw that broke the camel's back!
Until Rafa took action, completely forcing Mr. Byers into a desperate situation, ferrying himself to survive... Chen Lun even doubted that he could escape Rafa's siege and see himself at the last moment of his life, which was also what Howard deliberately planned. for.
The chill in Chen Lun's heart was even worse, even more biting than this cold winter.
He felt what fate is...
What is the result of being manipulated!
"Huh..."
Chen Lun laughed.
The repressed unwillingness and depression in his heart, as well as the endless anger, were all intertwined together.
There are accusations of one's own weakness, resentment towards Rafa, Howard and even Terrence, and even cries for fate.
"Jack..."
Mr. Byers spoke suddenly and smiled.
"I feel your anger, and I'm very happy... After all, after Youlan's death, I betrayed everyone in order to regain her legacy, until I met you and recognized Floy. But you don't need to be sad for me, There is no need to avenge me... I just hope you can take good care of Floy so that the Wolf family can continue to exist in the world..."
Chen Lun said nothing, and stretched out his hand in a depressed mood, stimulating the vitality of the bookmark and instilling it into the past. The green light flashed, but no target could be found.
It was as if the Mr. Byers in front of him was just a phantom.
"I'm actually dead... I'm just in a special state now, so you don't have to waste your energy."
Mr. Byers said slowly with calm eyes.
"I want to pass on the words Youlan once sent me to you, Jack... 'Keep something in your heart, and it will continue to live with you. If you forget it, then it will die forever.'"
His deformed paw gently landed on Chen Lun's shoulder, as if encouraging.
"So after I die, please make good use of the things left behind... If you can, please use the letters I hid in the cemetery in the spirit world as my remains and bury them with Orchid."
Chen Lun didn't have time to say goodbye to Mr. Byers.
The giant black bird in front of him floated into nothingness with a bang.
But Mr. Byers’ melancholy words came from mid-air——
"Love is the most expensive anchor. It cannot defeat death, but it can anchor the soul. Let the departed soul no longer wander, and let the living soul find its homeland... I have been waiting for a long time, Orchid." (End of this chapter) < br>
