Chapter 466 Ashes to dust, dust to dust
In an instant, Lynch realized a problem.
If the person spying on him was the princess's security personnel, he should have paid attention to the three intruders who suddenly entered the camp, instead of waiting for the three to reach the door before carefully checking them.
The only explanation is that the other party is waiting for someone to take some action after stepping into a certain position.
The countless conspiracy theory stories he had read in his previous life made Lynch realize the seriousness of the problem.
Leaving the camp and one step further into the mountains is the fiefdom belonging to the Valente family, and Princess Sofia is preparing to enter this fiefdom.
If she were to be attacked here, Lynch simply couldn't imagine what would happen. It would be a disaster.
It’s just that the princess was attacked and fell in the fiefdom. The Valente family at least has an explanation. The problem is that these mountain people are ghouls and they belong to the territory of the Valente family. There is this premise. , the nature of the attack on Her Royal Highness Princess has changed again. Once someone uses this as an excuse to attack the Valente family for colluding with mysterious aliens to attack members of the royal family, it will be difficult for the Valente family to distance themselves from it. Even if the royal family knows about this and the Valente family It has nothing to do with it. The Valente family must be suppressed for the sake of face. The Valente family or the family's large business can sustain it, but as the target of the Valente family's recent heavy bet, Lynch does not have such a large business to lose.
Lin Qi immediately realized that this matter was not only for the princess, but also for the Valente family and him.
If it is not handled properly, not only will the royal family's previous reputation be wasted, but future development in Rand will basically be blocked.
Seeing that it is a dead end, as long as someone attacks, no matter whether it is successful or not, Lynch and the Valente family will be in trouble.
What a ruthless means, there is almost no solution.
No, there is still a chance.
“Let’s go over.”
Lin Qi shouted as he took a step forward. However, he only felt that his eyes were blurred, and the person had appeared in front of the group of men in black in the distance. .
[Power: Earth, Ability: Scale]
Support from Elder Nikolai.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Just when the princess and her party were about to cross the border of the camp and enter the mountains, the sudden appearance of a figure attracted everyone's attention. In an instant, everyone moved instinctively.
"Who is it!" At the same time as the sharp shouts sounded, the two guards in black had already moved a step sideways, blocking the way to the back.
Quietly, two ghostly figures appeared behind the man in black. Two sharp blades passed around the two people and stabbed at Lynch's chest and throat like poisonous snakes.
"Human wall!" A group of black-clothed guards quickly gathered inward, using their bodies to seal the surrounding airtight.
"Protect Your Highness!" The innermost core guards rushed inward immediately, preparing to protect the princess.
Everything happened in an instant, everyone started to move.
But Lynch was one step faster.
Facing the oncoming sharp blade and the human wall blocking his way, Lynch turned a blind eye and ran straight into it. Just before the sharp blade approached, the hourglass necklace around his neck flashed with light, [Beyond Time Shelter], activated.
At this moment, Lynch was already outside of time.
No one can block a phantom from outside time, and no one can harm an afterimage that has just passed by.
The two sharp blades passed directly through Lin Qi, and then Lin Qi passed directly through the guards blocking the way, passed through the human wall that had just been built, and rushed to protect the princess with his body before she could. Before the core guards opened their arms with several exclamations, they jumped towards Princess Sophia.
At the same time, a light and shadow appeared in front of the princess without warning, followed by a shrill scream that broke through the air, and a heavy sound of plucking strings.
There was a flash of light and shadow, a scream, and blood splashing. An arrow suddenly penetrated the center of his eyebrow, and then his entire head exploded. Blood and brains flew together, splattering all over the faces of the people around him.
[Power: Hunting, Ability: Precision Sniper]
But not Princess Sofia's.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was knocked back before she could set foot on the Valente family's fiefdom. Lynch's sudden appearance not only successfully affected all the guards, but also the attackers. The full power subconsciously was sent out.
So, the attack was launched, but the arrow shot passed through the afterimage left by the princess, directly shooting a guard who instinctively hid behind the princess, but Lynch's impact had already knocked the princess one step ahead. Leaving his original position, he narrowly avoided the fatal arrow.
Thin blood stains appeared on his fair cheeks, a few strands of hair were flying in the air, and the whistling sound of arrows made his eardrums burst with pain. At this time, Lin Qi's mind went blank, leaving everything to his instinctive reaction.
Bang.
The two fell back into the camp. As soon as they touched the ground, Lin Qi instinctively hugged the delicate body in his arms and rolled sideways. The next moment, there was a soft pop in his ears, and on the ground next to his face There was already an extra arrow, which did not reach the tail feathers, and then there was a sound of breaking through the air before chasing after him.
"Protect the princess."
In the changing situation of the rabbit and the falcon, the professional guards have regained their judgment and made the most correct judgment. A group of people pounced directly on Lin Qi, who was rolling with the princess in his arms. He used his body to cover the two of them layer by layer, blocking the view from far away.
Beware of the third arrow.
However, at this moment, the space in front of everyone distorted, and another figure appeared next to the guards.
A middle-aged man, wearing a green hunting suit, was kneeling on one knee, bending a bow and arrow, and aiming with one eye closed. He suddenly appeared in front of people and looked at each other at close range. Both parties were stunned. Lived.
[Power: Earth, Ability: Castling]
The gaze lasted for a moment, and the arrow left the string and penetrated several guards who blocked the line of sight at will. Amidst the screams, the other guards immediately swarmed up and rushed towards the man in the hunting suit. The man in hunting attire did not hesitate for a moment, turned around and ran away with the hunting bow in hand. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a ray of light dragging an afterimage from far to near, appearing in front of him in an instant.
[Powers: Protection, Ability, Transfer]
The brilliance dissipated, revealing a shining sword light. The tall police officer arrived in time and sealed her throat with a sword.
The man in hunting attire did not dare to stop. He raised his hunting bow to hold his sword. The hunting bow was cut in half, but Officer Natalie was also staggered by the force of the counterattack and had to get out of the way, revealing... the man behind him. Folding fan.
Boom.
The shotgun sprayed out a ball of fire and hit the chest of the man in hunting attire. Blood spurted out from the man's chest. His body was thrown backwards and fell towards the rushing princess guard. A group of people had already raised their arms. If he gets the sword, he will be chopped into pieces on the spot.
However, there was only a pop sound, and the body of the man in the hunting suit suddenly exploded, turning into a tattered, blood-stained bush. The staggering figure of the man in the hunting suit had already appeared twenty or thirty meters away, without looking back. He ran wildly to escape into the distance.
[Powers: Forest, Ability, Bait]
“Chase, don’t let him run away.”
The guard was shouting, but at first glance it was impossible to catch up, but then he saw an old mountain man appearing next to him, grabbing a handful of blood-stained soil in the palm of his hand where the other party disappeared.
The soil squirmed on its own as if it were alive, turning into a small clay figure in a few seconds. The old mountain man held it in front of him and blew it gently.
Poof.
The portrait was blown back into dirt, and the figure running away in the distance paused, and then its body turned into dust in the sky.
