Chapter 89
Chapter 89
A business god priest who was not far away from them immediately expanded his shield a little bit, and another grass and tree knight took a step slower and also expanded his shield.The captain picked up the knight in time before he hit the ground, and put him on the horse. The surrounding priests all nodded to the captain, and finally no ghosts came in.
But the ground began to tremble, and from a distance, they saw something protruding from the ground, colorful like plants, but baring their teeth and claws like animals.Just when everyone thought the team was about to stop, transparent tentacles with a little red sandwich also emerged from the ground, and they began to pinch wildly with the colorful tentacles!
Apparently the tentacles with red sandwiches are stronger, and with a pair of pinches, the colorful flowers can be pulled out from the ground.The colorful roots are a huge and ugly face, and it spits out black mud when it leaves the ground, but it only has time to spit out a mouthful before it is wrapped around its mouth by the red sandwich.
People only heard a sound of "puchi", the red sandwich tentacles let go, and a puddle of sticky stuff with the smell of rotten eggs was thrown on the ground.
More and more brightly colored ones popped up, and they went forward and fought bravely without fear of death!The speed of the convoy had to be slowed down, fighting with the shot, and opened up a safe road.
Moreover, the tentacle is everyone's old friend, and most people don't feel afraid, but are delighted to have such a protector by their side.
The tremors on the ground became more and more obvious, and there was a sudden "Boom!" from under the carriage, and everyone felt that they were suddenly lifted up!Even the Templar knights riding special mounts were turned on their backs in an instant, not to mention the children's carriage.
When Morifio fell to the ground, it felt wrong, the ground didn’t feel like land at all, not just the touch, the ground was still churning, like ocean waves, no, it was more like they were stepping on a wriggling on the back of the giant beast.
There was a small voice in the ear: "There is something underground, let me stop it, let's go."
The little bug blessed by Archbishop Herta had already been returned to Leon by Morifeo, and for the convenience of communication, Leon also gave such a little bug to Morifeo.
The trust in Leon made Morifio greet others without hesitation.The others didn't know the specific situation, so they rushed to the carriage immediately. Although they didn't trust him, Morifio understood these comrades who fought side by side but didn't know him until now.
——Now the fugitives, including the children in the car, there are only less than 5000 people left.If children were not counted, almost none of the survivors were ordinary people, all of them were awakened, and the clergy of various churches accounted for almost 5000%.It's not that they don't save people, they have been working hard to save people, but in the face of too powerful a force, there is really no way to save people.Otherwise, if forced, there may not be [-] people alive now.
Therefore, the more than 200 children on these two carriages not only represent a group of young lives that need to be protected, but also represent the last traces of Diller City, and they are also the last pillars of survival left to them by those who sacrificed.After all, the idea accepted by most church clergy is to serve believers and ordinary people, defeat evil and justice, and they survived like deserters.For a long time, their only purpose in life will be to care for these children until they reach adulthood.
But as soon as they rushed up, tentacles stretched out and straightened the cars one by one. They ran to the car door, and tentacles crawled out of it. The children were all safe and sound, but the ones who didn't cry were crying now When I got up, there were only two different children in the corner of the first car, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they nodded to Morifio, or thanked the clergymen of the nearby Church of the God of Nature, and started on their way again.Although no one took the initiative to say it, since the Church of the God of Nature still maintains a strong combat power, the Church of the God of Nature has naturally become the leader.
It's just that although Morifio told everyone to hurry up, he can't get up now - after a long time, you can find that the ground is not wriggling, but something intends to rush up, but the tentacles are densely formed into a The cocoon hinders its upward rush.In this case, except for a few mounts, the rest of the mounts can only be pulled away, and riding away is courting death.What makes people think about it is that the movement of this thing shows that the surrounding area has been hollowed out. If there are no tentacles, they will all fall.
"The tentacles are not endless! Let the ones in the back hurry up!" Morifeo spoke to the back.
"Shit!" The plumbers belonged to the back. He was the least good at riding a horse among the five. The movement just now made him fall off the horse and broke his foot. Now the captain is carrying him.
"I'll scold you until you get off the captain." Big Eye looked at the plumber enviously.
"Don't say that kind of misleading words, big eyes." Even though the gentleman was dressed in dusty rags, he was still very personable, "But, it's really not a good habit to speak swearing, my dear friend."
"Shut up! Be quiet! Let's go!" The captain speeded up his pace blankly, he already knew how to deal with his team members in the simplest and most effective way.
The team also wanted to turn around, or at least get out of this dangerous area buried deep underground, but no matter how they went, the situation under their feet remained the same.Some people even had a little suspicion, and deliberately dragged it to the end, wanting to see if there was really something underground, or if the strong man who controlled the tentacles deliberately misled them.Of course, these people got their wish and saw the moment when the tentacles disappeared...
"Bang!" A huge claw grabbed the edge of the tentacle, and then densely packed more claws protruded from the hole on the edge of the tentacle, as if there were countless lives buried deep in that hole that were struggling. Survive, or drag living creatures underground with it.
"Boom—" The thing from the ground finally sprang up. It looked a bit like a huge centipede, except that the two sides of the body were not just insect feet for walking, but twisted long arms and arms. giant claws.However, given the length and angle of its arms, it is unlikely to grab the edge from this angle. Moreover, what is the purpose of this thing grabbing the edge of the tentacles?Hang yourself up?
The investigators suddenly felt that something was wrong behind them. A foul-smelling but warm breath was coming from behind. Those who wanted to turn around were held back by the elders. The experience and intuition cultivated in long-term fighting told the elders that they should They ran forward, but in front of them was the edge of the tentacles, and there was a centipede standing upright looking at them, how could they run?
"Run!" One of the elders who didn't want people to look back turned back, and the other rushed towards the raised head of the centipede demon. Their bodies aroused a strong fighting spirit, and they were about to...
"Crack-crack!"
The tentacles stretched out, and the two elders were blown away neatly, and more tentacles stretched out, entangled the centipede demon.
"Still running?" No one heard where the voice came from, but this time, the investigators did not have so much suspicion and curiosity.When they went back, they also dispelled people's last random thoughts.However, the escape road in front of him seemed endless, like yellow-brown clouds in the sky.
Ghost crying insects were still overwhelming, and there was even a black beetle the size of a human face.Ghost crying insects are not afraid of physical and magical attacks, only divine power has an effect on them.This kind of bug has powerful physical and magical attack methods, and is extremely fast. If it is not for the help of its tentacles, it will cause huge casualties to the fugitives as soon as it appears.
The colorful tentacles and the red sandwich tentacles are still fighting each other, and at some point there will be a centipede demon breaking through the undulating ground under the feet.
Is it true that only Diller City encountered demons?Could it be that this world has fallen into the hands of demons in the past two days.Or, when they were still in the city of Delil, they had already sunk into the abyss underground along with that city?
The continuous fighting and fleeing, coupled with hunger and fatigue prolonging the time, exacerbated people's negative emotions. If ordinary people, or even elite soldiers in most countries, probably could not bear this kind of pressure, they would have Already collapsed.But even the most devout believers, there will be times when they can't bear to collapse.
The thing that gave them hope last time, and cheered them up, was the tentacles.Who will be next?Reinforcements?
When a light appeared in the darkness, some people were excited, while others doubted that the light was like bait hung by some hunters.However, now they almost lost their way in the darkness. After all, they couldn’t see the sky here, and the plants had already withered. In order to avoid the underground where there are centipede monsters, they walked around randomly. Now all they can do is rely on It feels far away from Diller City.
This feeling is really based on feeling, especially the high-level awakened ones, who can perceive where is the most dangerous for them now.
So even with a skeptical attitude, they still headed towards that light.So, they saw a small church shining with the green light of the God of Nature. Although the houses around the church collapsed, they still maintained a good earth floor.Moreover, in this church, Leon and Eldy actually knew each other—Adelaide Village!Father Hogan's Church!
Leon now has almost all the positions of people he knows, and most of them are still alive because of their own abilities and because Leon's tentacles will secretly help them a few times.The only two people who didn't know the situation were Dragon Blood and Father Hogan.After Dragon Blood sent Leon and Eldi to the Cathedral of the God of Nature with Morifio, he ran to the Cathedral of the God of Light.He entered the blind spot of Leon's avatar monitoring, and never appeared again.
Father Hogan ignored him because he was in the suburbs. After the fight, Leon's avatars gathered in the city.Is he still alive now?Or, are the people in this church really living beings sheltered by the gods?
The fugitives were still hesitating, but the door of the church was opened, and a group of people with children and daughters rushed towards the Templars gratefully: "Master Knight!" "Are you here to save us?" "Gods! ,what happened?!"
The scene was chaotic, and the Templars were on guard at first, until these people approached, and some priests threw a few detection spells at them, which startled these people, but also confirmed that they were indeed alive.
Although these living people are noisy and crying for them to save their lives, just knowing that there are still people alive is enough to make people happy.After all there are them alive, so are there more others as well or maybe?Sure enough, miracles will always happen, otherwise there would be no such word...
After the crowd, an old man in a priest's attire was helped out tremblingly: "Dear knights, I am Father Hogan, the God of Nature in Adelaide Village. Thank you for coming to support. Please solve the problem." Is it? If it is not resolved, can these people be taken out of here?"
Hogan?
Leon, who was holding Eldy, was startled.
No matter how you look at it, this is an old man who is about to reach the end of his life, and even he has not been able to connect this old man with Father Hogan's idiot.But when the old man introduced himself, Leon had to admit that the eyes on some tentacles carefully observed his outline, and this person was indeed Hogan.
This is the outskirts far away from Diller City, not the center of this disaster, but none of those weeping ghosts, colorful tentacles, and underground centipedes are dangerous.They didn't see any surviving villages along the way, only Adelaide Village. Although other buildings were destroyed, the chapel was intact, and there were many surviving villagers, which explained the problem very well.
Hogan must have been devout, and he was burning his life force.
"Aren't you going with us?" A tentacle squeezed over. The survivors and villagers in Adelaide Village stood away in fright, while the fugitives were used to it. As for Hogan, of course he knew Who is this.
Hogan laughed, he had already seen Morifio and several familiar knights, and of course the tentacles with a strong sense of presence, he was very happy to see that they were safe and survived this catastrophe .
"I won't leave, I want to stay..." The tentacles rolled him up, and the villagers who were afraid to hide also ran back, yelling for the tentacles to put their priest down, Hogan was taken aback After that, it slowed down, "Lai...someone must stay to divert the attention of those chasing demons for you, I'm already dying, it's useless..."
He is no longer the little cutie who screams at a slightly higher speed.
His mouth was also covered, and then he was fixed on the roof of the carriage - the tentacles wrapped into a beautiful callus, and Hogan's old arms and legs can be very comfortable in it now: "What are you doing standing there stupidly?" ?Set off!"
Everyone: "..."
Then the tentacles stopped talking, so this matter had to be handled by Morifio and the others.
"Children under the age of ten can ride in a carriage." He lowered the age limit for entering a carriage, but no one pointed out that he was wrong, and everyone acquiesced in this problem. "Adults can only follow by yourself." In our team, in 10 minutes, we will go."
These people gave them courage to the fugitives in the dark, and they also wanted to save the villagers, but it was impossible.
The villagers who were happily carrying big bags and small bags to salute were stunned. They had also seen demons, but except for a few people who didn't believe that Hogan ran out to escape from the village and was killed, the others just needed to be honest. Just stay in the chapel and pray to the God of Nature.Therefore, they cannot be regarded as seeing the horror of the evil disaster in the true sense.
Now that more Templars and priests have come, the villagers subconsciously feel that they have been protected and can go to Diller City.
"Aren't we... not going back to Diller City?" "We want to hand over the children to them?" "What do you mean we follow behind?"
"The reinforcements from the church that we promised will definitely protect us?" "Aren't you liars?"
Amid doubts and cursing, time passed quickly. Only a handful of people gritted their teeth and handed over the children to the fugitives. Many even retreated into the church with vigilant expressions, as if Hogan was no longer there. The chapel still protects them as well.
But Hogan didn't know all this, he was already asleep.The cocoon that wraps him is breathable, soft, and soundproof. He knows that Leon is a very stubborn child. If he says he won't let him go, he won't let him go. If he really lets go... then something big will happen, Leon It's time to ignore him.
The people he rescued had already been taken over by other knights and priests, and he felt that he had nothing to worry about. Once his heart relaxed, he fell asleep unconsciously.
10 minutes have passed and the convoy started again.
"Are you going to tell him that most of these villagers have stayed?" Amidst the sound of the wheels of the potter's wheel, Eldy asked in a low voice.
Leon touched his head: "Tell him, the sooner you know about this kind of thing, the better, otherwise, once you know the truth in the future, it will only hit you harder. Did you wake up?"
"I can't sleep anymore." His mind was tense all the time, even though he had slept for a while before, it seemed that there was a rope hanging him.
"Are you hungry?" Although it was a question, Leon took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Erdi's mouth without waiting for Erdi's answer. up.
"You still have sugar?" Eldy smiled and stirred the candy in his mouth with his tongue. This is non-bitter rock sugar made by Leon. The sweet taste melted in his mouth, and the tension seemed to melt away. up.
"Don't worry about that family... I went to the East District to look for it. The mansion is empty. It's not a temporary move, but it has been moved out for a while. There is no one in the house in the suburbs. It is likely that they are no longer in Diller City. .”
Eldy looked at Leon and couldn't help but pounced on him: "Well...thank you..."
"If you're sleepy, just sleep a little longer and we'll be safe."
"Okay..." It's not pretending, Eldi really fell asleep again, because this time his heart has been completely at ease, the thread hanging him has disappeared, this is a dreamless and peaceful sleep , even... when he woke up, they were still under the poisonous tawny cloud, he wasn't worried at all.
"It will be fine." Leon said, and stuffed another piece of candy for Eldy.
"It will be fine." Eldy smiled, biting the rock candy into a crackling sound. "At that time, I want to eat the fried ice cream you made for me."
"it is good."
"Light!" "There is light!"
As soon as Erdi finished speaking, cheers suddenly came from outside.Leon also smiled brighter: "It won't be long before you can eat fried ice cream."
That light was different from the light of the chapel before. The chapel was obviously a small spot of light on the ground, and this light was obviously from above, coming from the sky.Even with the worst guess, the front is the edge of the poisonous cloud. If they are lucky, they may finally get reinforcements.
Everyone quickened their pace. The awakened ones, who had exhausted their strength, tried hard to search for their core of strength. Even though there were bursts of dull pain in the abdomen or chest, even if they knew that going on like this might leave them with lifelong hidden dangers, They couldn't care less.
The team rushed forward at the fastest speed, and the light became more and more clear. It was a multicolored light that blended together.
"It's reinforcements! It's reinforcements!" Someone yelled and cried bitterly.
Leon had already put away the tentacles, wrapped them around Hogan's, restrained the spreading factors to the maximum, and tightened the hand holding Eldi by two points. He, Archbishop Herta, and Morifey Odu cooperated happily, but he didn't know if this was an exception.If something goes wrong, maybe they will follow the devil and run for their lives.
Now Leon can only collect information by his own ears like everyone else.The cheers outside became louder and louder, and the people were exhausted.Eldy patted Leon: "I'll go and see."
Children's ability to adapt is stronger than that of adults, and there are already many children in the car poking their heads out excitedly.
"Someone is coming down!" Outside, Eldi saw such a spectacular sight for the first time. Above their heads, the templar knights riding various mounts were not running on the ground, but running in the sky, "to Otherwise they come slowly, they are dispelling the poisonous cloud!"
This did explain why the other party came slowly, but... a fool?If all the archbishops of Diller City hadn't dedicated their lives, and now that the demon's gate has been opened, it would not be just a demon disaster that destroyed the city, but the race on the ground resisted the demon for the continuation of the race.
"how is this possible?!"
Oh, by the way, he also has a source of intelligence.The little bug in Morifio's ear hasn't left yet, but he can only hear it.For example, now, he heard the exclamation of many men and women.
"The city of Diller is gone?!"
"You are the only ones left in the 30 people?!"
"There should be survivors, but we don't know."
