Chapter 467: Golden Eyes of the Abyss (5K)
In the foggy night, the black-haired young man stared at the old man in front of him and remained motionless, while beside him, Serena and the others also reacted after a moment of stupefaction, staring at the white-haired man. The old man was dumbfounded.
"You, are you...Paul?"
"No, how is it possible?"
Stuart took two steps back because of surprise, and Serena also froze. The brown-haired girl who often went in and out of Cang's Mansion was more familiar with Paul than the others, so she was shocked more intensely, but to say that the most shaken , or Roja himself.
Hearing Paul's familiar words, the black-haired boy widened his eyes, stared at the old man in disbelief for a long time, and finally saw a little shadow of Paul in the past, but before Roja could start asking questions, the old man passed out again.
"Hello! Paul?"
Anxious Roja shouted, but the old man seemed to have exhausted all his strength after saying that sentence, no matter how much he screamed, he couldn't wake up, Roja and the others looked at each other helplessly, and then immediately began to carry out inspections on him .
At this time, Paul's face was completely changed, his white hair and beard were scattered in a mess, and the cloth on his body was completely invisible, like a rotten cloth dug out of the ground, his face was covered with wrinkles, and by the standards of ordinary people , visually estimated to be over a hundred years old.
"Roja, this, is this really Paul?"
"..."
Facing Serena's question with an uneasy voice, the black-haired boy remained silent for a while.
Indeed, it would be a bit arbitrary to determine that this old man is Paul with just one sentence and a vaguely similar cheek. In fact, the person in front of him has almost no magic power on his body, and there is no clothing or other things that can identify his identity. It can be said that he is completely unknown. character, but fortunately Roja and others have a verification method, that is Juliana.
After her face was tangled for a moment, the girl with black hair and red eyes stretched out her hand and gently scratched the skin on the old man's hand, and put a little red blood on her fingertips into her mouth. The moment after the entrance, Juliana's His face suddenly changed, and then he tilted his head and coughed.
"This unpleasant taste is absolutely unmistakable, it is him!"
Juliana, who had once fought against Paul in the Challenger Cup group arena and tasted the blood of a teenager, had such an ugly expression on her face, and as her words fell to the ground, Roja and the others fell into complete silence.
Paul became what he is now, no doubt attacked by the enemy, but... the way of attack is unheard of.
Time has always been the rarest and most mysterious part of Shia's spells. For a long time in the past, it was even regarded as a non-existent spell. Even if it existed, it was mostly forbidden. The reason is very simple. This kind of spell is too lethal and expensive.
Regarding the spells of time, users often have to pay the price of time, and there are huge risks, and there are also high requirements for the conditions and scale of the spells.
From Roja's discovery of the enemy to now, it only took more than half an hour because of the decisive command. It is almost impossible for Paul to become like this in such a short period of time, even Roja's [Eclipse Breath]. It is impossible to absorb time so quickly.
"Impossible, how did you do it?"
"Stuart, check!"
"clear."
The black-haired boy gave an order, and Stuart took off the blindfold again and stared at Paul. This time, the boy's eyes were no longer in the long-range reconnaissance mode, but released a slight light green light. After a while, the boy looked back and forth twice. ugly.
"The internal organs are exhausted, the mantra is stagnant, and all the organs in the body conform to the characteristics of an old man. It is not a fake, but an old man who has really reached the end of his life."
"..."
"...just kidding."
Stewart's new report caused Roja and the others to fall into silence again. Faced with the horror experienced by their companions, the two young girls, Serena and Juliana, looked pale. For them, who are at their most beautiful age, they lost time and died of old age. Probably the scariest way to die in the world.
If possible, of course no one wants to move on to the mysterious and unknown front, but Roja did not respond to the fearful eyes of the team members, nor gave the order to retreat, because the team Roja was in was exactly What exists for rescue, of course, is more important than time.
"It's too late to retreat. It took about half an hour for Paul to become like this. We can't retreat from the foggy area in half an hour. It is almost certain that we will be caught up. Now there is only one way to save ourselves and save Paul. Then Just go forward, find and defeat the enemy!"
After calm thinking and calculations, the black-haired boy said this decisively. Serena and the others also recovered their composure after hearing the words. Plans are made.
Now that Paul has been recognized, it is natural that he cannot be discarded. On the other hand, Paul is also the only person who may provide information so far.
"If everyone ages at the same rate, then apart from the young Paul and Lilian, everyone else may have..."
"Maybe someone has resistance to this unknown spell, and Paul's level is also the lowest in the team."
"Looking at his appearance, it seems that he wants to rush out to seek support..."
Serena and the others fixed Paul and set off again. The black-haired boy led the way to the abandoned town quickly.
Approaching quickly, as the shadow of the town gradually appeared in the white mist, the faces of Roja and the others also became more and more serious.
There is no sound.
No matter from before or now, there is no sound of fighting at all.
Teams that are attacked in the fog will definitely attack with all their strength. The entire team of the first team is composed of high-level transcendents, who have reached source level 3 or above. Even if they don't want to, fighting will cause great damage to the surrounding area. influence, and the lack of sound basically represents one point, that is, the victory and defeat have been decided.
Thinking of this, Serena and the others became nervous, and Roja also looked ugly, but even so, the boy still did not lose confidence, because there was Lilian in the depths of the fog.
Leaving aside others, Lilian's fighting power is absolute, even overwhelming. Even against a source-level 1 master, it is impossible for her senior sister to lose so quickly. The actual record of the ster case as a reference.
Definitely, definitely in time!
Roja and the others firmly believed in their hearts and came to the edge of the town. Just like any abandoned town, the houses here are quite dilapidated, the roads are covered with weeds, and the atmosphere with the floating white mist is very strange. Paul, who has turned into an old man, is even more disturbing.
The dense fog made the visibility less than ten meters, and there was no sound and no information at all. In such a situation, Roja and the others couldn't even search and rescue quickly. The frowning boy could only turn his head to ask the scouts again.
"Stuart, can you find their location?"
"..."
The black-haired boy asked, but there was no reply from behind. After a few seconds of silence, Roja couldn't help but look behind him to check the situation. It turned out that his purpose was to warn the two girls around him and the empty end of the line.
"!"
Looking at the empty place, Roja couldn't help but widen his eyes, and when he noticed the boy's gaze, Serena and Juliana also turned their heads one after another, and they were stunned.
"Selina! Where's the Stuarts? What happened?"
"I, I don't know! The one who was behind me just now!"
"Did you fall behind?"
Facing Roja's inquiry, the animal-eared girl in charge of protecting the back row shook her head in panic, Juliana was also pale and at a loss, the black-haired boy gritted his teeth, and the magic power on his body began to burn rapidly , a huge crimson skeleton appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Roja's body.
Under the coercion of Glandar, Serena and the others calmed down a little, and the whole team began to quickly return the same way, but what greeted them was indescribable despair and terror.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
Ten minutes later, the black-haired boy was leaning against the wall on one side, pinching his brows and thinking about the situation with all his strength. Beside him, two girls were leaning stiffly on his left and right shoulders.
In the desolate village where the mist drifts, the posture of the three of Roja is naturally not a black-haired boy hugging left and right. In fact, this is a method that the three of them came up with in a hurry. The existence of each other, and the reason is very simple.
In the previous search, Roja and the others found nothing.
After returning to the original road and walking a hundred meters, there was still white mist floating around, the sound of the night wind blowing in the darkness, and there was no one around.
There was no abnormality on the ground, and there was no trace of space spells nearby, but Stuart and Paul behind him just disappeared out of thin air, as if they were taken away by someone.
"This, how is this possible? Stuart didn't even make a sound! No matter how powerful the opponent is, he shouldn't be unable to make a sound..."
"There is also a faint smell of blood from Paul's wound nearby, which means that they were standing here safe and sound not long ago, but why did they disappear? Damn it! What happened!"
"calm!"
When the search turned up nothing, not even a single clue, Julianna and Serena inevitably fell into panic. For girls, a powerful enemy does not make them afraid, even if they die in battle. It is also an honor for them who were educated by knights, but the current situation is different.
In this foggy town that is empty in the dark night, there is only wordless silence and incomprehensible fear. From the terrifying Paul who has become unrecognizable to the sudden disappearance of Stuart, everything that happened is like a scene that would only appear in a nightmare, and The so-called enemy has not even been seen until now.
Beside the left and right shoulders, the bodies of the two girls trembled slightly, their breathing was rapid, and their complexions were abnormally pale. Feeling this, Roja couldn't help but look more dignified.
No matter how powerful Juliana and Serena are, they are young girls after all. They will have a natural fear of this horror movie scene and a series of unimaginable changes. Their thinking ability has been greatly affected, and now they can only rely on instinct to act. Not responding, but giving up thinking, is precisely the last thing to do in this silent town.
The young man who held his brows forced himself to calm down, and after thinking for a while, he issued a new order - continue to search for the personnel of the first team, strive for confluence, and think of ways to fight back.
In today's time when they don't even know what happened, it doesn't make much sense to stay here to defend, but after hearing Roja's decision, the two girls also chose to obey, and a group of three people in the abandoned town Travel through and super-spot on Juliana's night
With the help of Zha Lili, they found the base that originally belonged to the first team soon after.
It was an abandoned house, judging by its scale, it should have belonged to the former town manager. Since it was a stone building, it was better preserved, but based on the results of the investigation, it was extremely disappointing.
No one was there.
This is what happens in houses.
Judging from the fact that various things are scattered all over the place, the appearance of the enemy should be beyond the expectations of everyone in the team, causing them to flee here in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to notify Roja and others in advance. As for their last In the end, if I guessed correctly, I am afraid that they disappeared into the white mist inexplicably just like Stuart.
"It seems that there is no need to worry anymore."
The young man who realized that the person in need of rescue might have already died has finally made up his mind. A large amount of permafrost air began to emerge from his body. The temperature in the vicinity dropped rapidly with Roja's full efforts, and the ground and houses were also stained with a layer of white. Frost, the pervasive freezing air mixed into the white mist made it difficult to distinguish, and began to spread rapidly with the outbreak of Roja's spell power.
In Marin Town, everything that has happened here so far makes people shudder, but there is another premise, that is, this weird white mist.
Although Roja doesn't know the specific situation of these fogs, no matter if it's an attack method or something else, as long as you use freezing air to control it, you will be able to expose the enemy's flaws, and under Roja's operation, it has been silent for a long time The small town in the town finally had a change.
It was a strong wave of mana power that suddenly appeared from the center of the town. The moment it appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of Serena and Juliana. The reason is also very simple, that is, this is a strange breath that everyone has never felt before. It is also full of evil and unspeakable malice, almost reflexive and vigilant.
The breath of the fallen, this is the familiar smell that Roja judged in an instant, it made him frown like a foul-smelling rotten thing, but unlike Serena and others, it suddenly appeared from there, and in a short time In the magic power that swept across the entire area within a short period of time, Roja also read something else, that is anger, or hatred.
The anger for Roja's provocative behavior, the hatred for [Touch of Frozen Ground], and the hatred for the power of the Crown Stone.
"No, this level of resentment is towards the Mother Goddess?"
Feeling something unusual, Roja widened his eyes and muttered to himself. At the same moment, a tall, skinny old man also appeared from the other end of the white mist. His eyes were fixed on Roja's direction. There was a strong disgust expression on his face, and he held a fog lamp-like lamp in his hand, emitting a dim light at the end of the road.
"It finally appeared!"
"Do it!"
Serena and Julianna, who finally found the enemy after waiting for days and years, attacked almost at the same time when the old man appeared. For a moment, the shadows surged in the dark night and turned into countless sharp knives, swinging down at the enemy from all directions. , the cat-eared girl also burst out all the power in an instant, and the light flickered on the blade, which was the power of [disorder] that could penetrate all defenses.
The two girls showed their unique moves, and Roja also decided to attack with all his strength to cooperate, but what he didn't expect was that at this moment, the ancient gods on the other side suddenly shouted in unison.
"Wait! That lamp is!"
"Not good! Leave!"
"Why?"
The voices of Glandar and Altasia sounded at the same time, but it was already too late. The bright light in the hands of the old man who moved like a zombie suddenly flickered, and the next moment the intense light shone like the sun in all directions. Everything seemed to be submerged, and the consciousness of the whole person seemed to be out of balance.
At this moment, Roja's consciousness seemed to come out of his body and rise to the sky. The next moment, under the guidance of the light, it turned into a beam of light and passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, peaks and mountains, the grand passes and fortresses in the east, and the mountains and rivers of the Tucker Plain. The vast grassland and the army of aliens passed by one by one before his eyes, and what finally appeared in front of him was a cave somewhere.
It was a bottomless cave full of darkness, bursts of extreme ominous and evil breath came from it, as if all the evils of this world were buried under it, when Roja appeared, the entire cave shrank as if alive, As if seeing the huge mouthparts of delicious food, at the same time the boy's consciousness began to blur rapidly.
The voices of Gulandar, Petra, and Altasia kept echoing in their ears, desperately trying to bring back the boy's consciousness, but everything was in vain. The black-haired boy's mind gradually froze, and he fell into a trap before his eyes. It was dark, but just when he was about to fall into the bottomless abyss, a pair of golden pupils flashed like lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.
"!"
At the moment when the golden pupils lit up in the darkness, Roja's consciousness suddenly cleared and he opened his eyes suddenly. At the same time, his soul seemed to be free from shackles, and everything around him began to retreat, caves, plains, Xiongguan, mountains and forests one by one Left behind by the boy, he returned to the small town in the mountains, and a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Roja!"
In the fog of Marin Town, under the light that seemed to absorb everything, a girl with black hair and purple pupils suddenly appeared, and hugged the boy who fell on the ground. The next moment, the space conjurer beside her Recited in unison, Lilian's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
