Chapter 222 Delay
Long Aotian looked blankly at Henry and Morris who were in a state of confusion, and said strangely with his eyes wide open: "What happened? Where are the other executives?" "You ghost, didn't I tell you to leave? What are you doing? return!"
Henry, who was leaning against the root of the tree, immediately cursed. Long Aotian turned a blind eye and smiled calmly: "I won't let an old guy like you be a hero by yourself. Hehe." After giving Long Aotian a fierce look, Henry suddenly sighed, helplessly Said: "Let's go, we don't need anyone here anymore. We are defeated, completely defeated." "Huh?"
Before Long Aotian could recover from his strange expression, a large number of footsteps immediately sounded from the bushes around them. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see charred living corpses all over the mountains and plains. Their eyes were glowing with gold, and they were approaching everyone step by step! "Undead!" Long Aotian and the others shouted. That Aina Ma hid behind Long Aotian in fear. Obviously she couldn't stand this kind of monster coming back from the dead.
But Henry and the other two jumped up in shock. Morris helped Henry up and stepped back. Looking at the sea of living corpses, he said with incomprehensible doubts: "Impossible, I ran for six hours. Logically, I have left them far away! How is it possible? I’m chasing you again in this short period of time!”
Henry, who frowned, glanced at the forest from side to side, and said with an ugly expression: "There is something strange in this forest. Either we have been possessed by psychic magic, or this forest has been set up with a confusion circle." Morris, who was in charge of Henry, glanced at Among the living corpses that were seen walking slowly, four were the most conspicuous. They were not burned, and they were still wearing the divine robes in front of them. Blood-stained body, broken arm. These four living corpses were clearly the four chiefs who were protecting them!
Maurice and Henry watched their companions turn into living corpses, with obvious sadness in their eyes. "Mr. Noven, can you..." "Don't worry, let me help you deal with these damn undead!"
Long Aotian immediately understood the meaning of Morris's words, patted his chest and nodded in agreement. Morris thanked him secretly and was about to help Henry leave. Let these three idiots block these living corpses. Henry on the side suddenly frowned, turned to look at Long Aotian and asked softly: "Smelly son, did you bring your friends?"
"No? Aren't these the three of us?" Long Aotian didn't react. Answered without thinking. But Anthony on the side was immediately shocked. Before Long Aotian finished speaking, his whole body flew out immediately, and he heard a scream from behind. Everyone immediately followed. But he saw Anthony frowning and wiping the blood on his hands. Looking at the person sitting helplessly under the roots of the tree.
Black hair, ordinary face, and a purple robe dyed red with blood. This person is the clone Paladin who is following him!
"Why is it you!" Everyone came looking for him, and when they saw it was Paladin, they immediately exclaimed. Paladin's face turned pale. Anthony's giant sword passed through his stomach and pinned him to the tree trunk behind him. When he heard the voice, he slowly raised his head, looked at the shocked Henry and others, smiled slightly and said in greeting: "What a coincidence."
"Hmph, shouldn't you follow the father-in-law back to Eagle City? Why did you follow us here quietly!" Anthony said with eyes full of hostility. Henry's face also showed a suspicious look, looking at Paladin with a look that scrutinized the heresy. Because just now he clearly felt that someone was secretly hiding in the distance and watching their every move. It's definitely not a coincidence as Paladin said.
"Me. What's wrong with me? You followed the chief and the others here. Can't I follow? Cough cough cough..." Just after he finished speaking, Paladin coughed out blood and his face turned even pale. He asked for help. He looked up at Henry and said: "My magic power has been used up. I don't want to die here. Please help me. For the sake of helping you make weapons." "You. Why are you following here quietly?"
Henry asked Maurice to hold him close to Paladin and asked. But Paladin responded silently, without saying a word. Morris on the side looked at Paladin. Suddenly he squatted down and opened Paladin's clothes, but he didn't see the cross he imagined. He immediately frowned and asked, "When I first met you two years ago. Where is the cross you were wearing?"
"Throw it away." Paladin replied angrily. But Maurice stood up with a slight groan and explained to Henry who was confused: "He was wearing an enchanted cross that was only owned by the Inquisition. At that time, he actually lied to me that he bought it from an ascetic."
"Who are you!" Henry heard the answer and suddenly looked at Paladin and asked. He had a vague feeling that the identity of this young, mature and talented archbishop was not that simple. "Cough cough cough cough." Paladin coughed up a mouthful of blood again, raised his head, and said with a rare expression of contempt: "One day you will know."
"Let's go! Let this guy be bitten to death by those living corpses here. Bastard with bad intentions." Aina, who was beside Long Aotian, immediately suggested. Everyone immediately nodded in agreement. When he was about to abandon the half-dead Paladin and leave here, the furious Paladin suddenly shouted in anger: "I advise you! For the sake of your lives, take off the ring from your hand and throw it on the ground! Otherwise, You can never leave this forest."
"What are you!" When Long Aotian heard this, he was shocked and looked back, subconsciously covering the ring. But he saw the angry Paladin looking at the void next to Long Aotian with a ferocious smile. The shocked soul floating next to him smiled and said: "I can see it. This soul. Can resist the gods. I can clearly see the soul that remains in the world due to the call and maintains the mind."
"What do you mean? Why did you leave that ring to save your life? Clearly!" Unlike Long Aotian, who was stunned, Henry immediately frowned and asked. I saw him taking a few steps forward, grabbing Paladin's lapel and questioning loudly. Paladin suddenly let out a scornful laugh and said: "You foolish lamb, you think you can feel at ease with the protection of a fence and a shepherd. As a shepherd dog, aren't you also proud of your sense of superiority in protecting the lambs? However, You have to worry, because the ferocious wolves have arrived, jumped over the low fence, and carried away all the lambs. Those are the wolves called Night Owls! Hahahahaha!"
"Fallen traitor!" Hearing such a taunt, Henry burst into anger. He loosened his clothes and looked down at Paladin and said, "Tell me why you betrayed your faith! Damn you degenerate!" But at this moment , Paladin's eyes were dull, his heart still stopped beating, and he died with the sarcastic smile before his death.
"Let's go! We can't stay here anymore." Henry said this in anger. Naturally, everyone had no objection, turned around and started running out of the forest. The uneasy Long Aotian asked the soul: "Can that person really see you?" "Really, I can feel the vision that penetrates the soul. It's really dangerous here. We must leave quickly!" "After receiving Soul's advice, several people immediately sped up and fled.
But the dead Paladin's body suddenly moved at this moment! Suddenly a big hole opened in his head, and a ball of light shot out from inside. As soon as the living corpses that were gradually walking over felt this ball of light, they immediately knelt on the ground in fear and did not dare to move. I saw this ball of light shining slightly, showing bones, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, skin, and hair.
But in the blink of an eye, another intact Paladin appeared in front of him. Paladin smiled slightly, and seven people suddenly walked out from behind. It turned out to be a robe of the Night Owl Society. President Sam Redo and six elders! That's right, Paladin's true form is coming, and their clones only need to delay for ten minutes, just ten minutes. To be continued. .
