Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 171: The Magical Legend of Journey to Another World (60)

It didn't give them the leisure to continue the discussion. After completely revealing the identity of the demons, the demons who were still secretive completely let go of their hands and feet, and summoned their subordinate puppets one after another, commanding them, from Chrollo and Celluloid were outflanked in all directions, and the undead creatures who were attacking all living beings indiscriminately, also because of Elias' oracle, they turned their guns, or moved slowly with their teeth and claws, or strangely. The wind rushed towards them like electricity.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Cellulo realized that she and Chrollo had been surrounded by the undead army. Looking around, there were all kinds of strange and terrifying undead creatures in a radius of fifty meters. The obscure and ferocious death atmosphere in the sky lingered and tangled, and the ears were filled with chilling howls and roars. At the outermost edge of the army, it was the demons who had taken off their black cloaks and wore jet-black armor. Scattering and sticking in a circle ensures that even if the undead army is broken through, it will not leave a dead corner for escape, and at the same time, it is also to deal with the Temple Knights who have come to the rescue.

This kind of battle, is it determined to deal with them with all their strength? Is it because of the True Eye in Chrollo? Or is it because of the water in her body? While thinking about it, Cellulu quickly searched for the knights, Feitan and Will who were still with them, but were crowded out due to the rapid attack and collision of the army.

With a relatively high field of vision, Cellulu saw countless small defensive vacuum belts surrounded by the undead army. All of them were survivors who could not avoid being surrounded and involved together. Some were supported by one person alone, and some were A few people defended together, Will was with the two magicians, the magic and martial arts were balanced, and the long-term attack was both available. There should be no major problems for the time being. Selulu was relieved and searched for the figures of Fei Tan and the knight again. After a while, she saw the two of them, about 20 meters away from them. What reassured Cellulo at the same time was that the two of them were not separated, and they were the only two of them together. , no one else was with them, but neither of them had any magical talent, and long-distance attacks immediately became their shortcoming. The knight's potions and scrolls had been consumed in the battle just now. This attack The means instantly lost a lot of color.

In this case, no matter how good Feitan's melee combat is, the knights are not bad, but it is obvious that the undead are not fighting with them at this time. I don't know if someone is secretly commanding them. Cellulu saw that there were defensive vacuum belts surrounding them. The undead's offensive methods are extremely uniform. The first wave is a round of indiscriminate magic bombing. After an interval, it is the turn of the Scourge Knights' long-range spears to collectively project. The third wave is the abyss Warcraft. Such as the double-tailed scorpion, the collision and bite of the giant red lizard, and then the zombies and skeletons do not aim to win, but purely consume the physical strength of the survivors. After the four waves come down, just let the previous After releasing the magic and waiting for the return, the undead magicians can continue to release the magic again, and then start a new cycle.

This kind of rigorous, vicious and unstoppable intensive attack is obviously extremely effective. The survivors either died in the first wave of magic, or were pierced in the second round of ten thousand gun salvos, even if it was a fluke. Or the strength escapes, it is inevitable to be injured, and in the third wave of the battle with the monsters, the death or the prize, plus the fourth wave of zombies and skeletons swarming the wheel to fight, can survive without missing arms and legs. Almost a handful.

However, in the three rounds of attacks, five or six defensive vacuum belts have been completely destroyed, and the undead army has filled the vacancies. Selulu sees it, and is even more worried about Feitan and Xia Ke, although they still belong to that place. There are only a handful of people, but there are also a lot of colors hanging on their bodies. It is quite reluctant to deal with them. It is obviously not a long-term solution to continue to consume.

Cellulu, who was concentrating on the battle between Feitan and the knight, suddenly felt that her body was tilted down to the left. Chrollo hugged her, bent her legs, lowered her waist and slanted a flash, and a black light rubbed Chrollo's right shoulder. After that, before Cellulu could return to her senses, her vision suddenly retreated rapidly. It was Chrollo who was holding her in her arms and retreating. Countless black light arrows in front of them fiercely pursued, smashing them one after another like dense raindrops. Next, the interval between each time they dodged and the attack landed was only a few tenths of a second. Celluloid's eyes simply couldn't catch up with such fast dodging and moving, which often gave the illusion of being hit. , after a second, it will be reflected that it is just an illusion and an afterimage.

While dodging, Chrollo did not forget to counterattack. After all, they were enemies from front, back, left, and right, and it would not be safe to retreat wherever they went. If they didn't attack, they could only be dumped.

One hand made a seal, and Chrollo added chant to increase the effect. Without a magic wand, the precision and quality of the magic released were not improved, but he was holding Celluloid in one hand, and naturally it was impossible to hold a magic wand in the other hand, but Kuo Luo Luo has also become accustomed to the state of not using one hand in battle. After all, his telekinetic ability 'Rogue's Extreme Intention' also occupies one of his hands, so most of his telepathy abilities are mid-range and long-range attacks. Those who release the effect independently are rarely used to fight against the enemy with their hands and feet. Therefore, this situation is the norm for Chrollo at the moment. It's important to think about this, but, according to his wrist strength, this difference is completely ignored.

But Chrollo didn't take it seriously, it didn't mean that Cellulo was so arrogant that she really wasn't a burden to Chrollo, she just remembered that compared to the knight and Feitan, she and Chrollo seemed to be the best. It is a bigger goal. She has no time to worry about Xia Ke and Feitan, at least they can support each other and fight together.

"Hoo~" A roar sounded in the ear, and a huge four-winged jackal suddenly rushed up from the slanting thorns, targeting Celluloid, the fishy wind and stench came from the nostrils, covered with serrated teeth, densely covered with suspicious blood red Rou Si's mouth was almost as big as her body, and she wanted to bite off half of her body with a click. Cellulo was startled, but Chrollo reacted extremely quickly and lowered her left hand, changing from holding her hips to holding her hips. Hooping her waist, at the same time pressing her right hand on the back of Cellulu's head and pressing her against his shoulders, and then leaning back sharply, he managed to avoid most of the attacks, but he was still torn apart by Big Mouth. A layer of flesh on the right hand.

He didn't bother to look at it, the strength of his back was exhausted, but after the four-winged wealthy wolf swallowed Chrollo's flesh fiercely, he grabbed it with one claws. Just like when Cellulo was caught, Chrollo didn't have time to change his posture, so he simply fell backwards and rolled on the ground with Cellulo in his arms before he avoided the attack again.

After a series of movements, Cellulo couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Being held and rolled made her dizzy. When she regained her senses, Chrollo had stood up, and she had returned to the original position where she was being held. However, because the attack just now was so fierce, Cellulu was naturally worried. She immediately swept away quickly, and immediately saw Chrollo's right upper arm dripping with blood.

Cellulu almost screamed nervously, but the sound at this time was a distraction to Chrollo, so Cellulu suppressed her worried exclamation, just looking at Chrollo's wound, But it was a little startled.

She never thought that Chrollo would protect her. Of course, he also saved her twice before, but saving people with ease cannot be called protection, but just a condescending effort, so Chrollo In the previous two rescues, Cellulu didn't care, but this time was different. Although he must have calculated that he would not die, it was unavoidable that he would be injured and lose his combat power. Layers of undead army and the battle situation that I don't know when will be clear, why does he still protect her? Especially knowing that she won't die at all.

And, most importantly, the person who did this was Chrollo, or, in other words, the head of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo Rusilu, who would actually protect him without thinking and losing his composure. a woman?

The head of the Phantom Brigade in her inherent cognition is calm and wise, calm and rational, and even more sober and ruthless. He can sacrifice everything for the brigade, and it can even include himself. A destructive personality who doesn't care about herself, a high-IQ representative who only becomes anti-human and anti-social when she grows up without love and discipline in her childhood, such a Chrollo-Rushilu, in her imagination, is a relationship with love or romance Or like the feeling of being completely insulated. Of course, this is not to say that Cellulu thinks that Chrollo has no women. The charm of Chrollo should be that no woman can escape it, but it should only be that a woman unilaterally sacrificed everything for him, for his life, for his death, for his heartbreak, but not for Chrollo to really fall in love with a woman And then show her all kinds of different and special, especially cherish and protect this aspect.

Cellulo has always known that Chrollo is interested in her, but she never thought that it would be a liking, not only him, but also the knight, Feitan, or Jin, and even gave her a feeling of liking her from time to time. Illumi and Hisoka, who are ambiguous and delusional, will not really like her. Of course, they may be interested, but, like? Forget it, Cellulo is so unreasonably convinced of this, just as persistent and stubborn as she has always believed that she likes them, and that being hurt by them is her own right.

No one knows that as a former hunter fan, she is not like the average fan who has a woman. Of course, it would be better if she could be herself. She hopes to capture the hearts of one or all of them, and from now on, they will compete with each other. Shuangfei kills and sets fire together or waits silently, unlike some rotten girls who are always good at discovering "found love" and hope that these self-produced and self-sold love and kill each other forever, the former is because Cellulu believes that there is no one woman Or are men worthy of them, the latter, ki? That's something that Cellulu doesn't agree with. To position their relationship with love is to blaspheme and insult the hazy feeling between them that is like an enemy but a friend.

That's right, Celluloid has always been holding the extreme 'vicious' thought that they wish they would never fall in love with anyone in their entire lives, it's better to be a bachelor until death. Only in this way, it seems that nothing can be changed, and it has been maintained that way. Let her like and appreciate the self, freedom, and the characteristics of not being bound by anyone or anything, just like what she said to Hiso a long time ago, "you keep it like this, don't change for anyone, you are good like this" , to Chrollo, "I don't want you to change, and you haven't changed much because of this intersection between us, isn't it good?" These are all her sincere words.

What she likes is them who she likes. If they change, will they still be the ones she likes? Cellulu knew that this kind of thinking was abnormal, but it wasn't love in the first place. She would probably never be a qualified fan. She wouldn't find out that they were real people, and they were real people living in this world. In fact, there is also an unknown 'pain, helplessness and fragility'. She neither wants to find the tears behind the stars of Hisoka, nor does she want to see the loneliness behind Chrollo, or the softness and innocence that Illumi once had, and then go to distressed or to warm them.

They are the real strong, and the strong are not used to feel distressed or warm. The past is not important, the important thing is that the past has made them, and what they have to do is just like the road they have traveled. Use all the past to strengthen herself, that's what Celluloid believes in, and that's why she likes them, because she wants to be like them, of course, it's not that acting like them means being like them She did not want to cater to them and changed herself beyond recognition, taking their survival principles and beliefs as her own, and even thought that this was the norm of the world, and that this was the only way to truly understand them and to integrate into a world with them.

Yes, Cellulu is such a tangled and inexplicable person, she can allow herself to dig her heart out for them, and even be hurt by their ruthless actions and feel self-deprecating, that's what she asked for, but if it makes them change together , even if this person is herself, she can't accept it. Therefore, Chrollo's move today simply broke the creed that she had always believed in, and the meaning behind this was definitely not something that would make Cellulu feel ecstatic.

Thinking like this, looking at the wound again, it was so dazzling that she couldn't look directly, and Cellulu couldn't help but irritated.

"Crollo, you know I won't die, don't worry about me anymore."

Chrollo glanced at Cellulu, he wouldn't know Cellulu's weird thoughts like snake spirits, he just thought she was worried about him, so he smiled lightly.

"I have my measure."

You have a ghostly sense of proportion. It is still reasonable to injure yourself. Haven't you seen the army of undead in front of you? Do you think you are me? If you die, can you cheat again? If you die, you'll have nothing, so talk about it, don't worry about me, okay? Cellulu's face was sullen, and a series of complaints passed by in her heart.

Cellulu was upset, she really wanted to come down immediately, and then she was killed by someone, but not to mention whether Chrollo saw through her intentions and grasped it tightly, think about it again, the situation here is so bad, How on earth are they going to break the game? Wouldn't it be harder to bear if she couldn't see the situation here because she died and moved? That being said, it is better to be alive for the time being. No matter what happens, no matter how bad it is, you can still see it with your own eyes. So, is the key still to how to resolve this situation?

Thinking of this, Cellulu calmed down. Now is not the time to think about whether or not Chrollo should protect her. She calmed down and began to observe the situation. Seeing this, she did not find a way to break the game, but let Cellulu Lu noticed another thing, and she opened her mouth.

"Crollo, don't retreat over there, Feitan and the knights are in that direction, go over there, there are Temple Knights working on the periphery."

Chrollo didn't answer right away, but after thinking for a while, he asked inexplicably. "What's the reason?" He really didn't think of a reason. In this case, instead of finding his own people to join forces, he would join forces with unfamiliar people to fight against the enemy. This logic seems a bit wrong.

Celluloid explained carefully. "You know, the target of these undead is us, so their encirclement is also centered on us, and everyone else is only involved by the way. You didn't see that the people who fell outside the encirclement were only some skeletons and skeletons. Are zombies saying hello? I don’t know when this situation will be resolved. The reinforcements from the Holy See should not be able to come, but this is a big city under the Kemion Empire, and the emperor will not ignore it. I heard that there is a law in this empire. Our only hope is to delay the arrival of the regular army and the Fa Sage, and before that, at least not let the power of Feitan and knights be consumed for no reason."

Only then did Chrollo understand what Cellulo meant. It wasn't that he didn't know what Cellulo said, but he and Cellulo had a completely different starting point for thinking, which led to the opposite of the final idea. He naturally knew that there was no magic. Attack power, the knight and Feitan won't be able to support for long, so he thought about reuniting with them as soon as possible. With his magic attack power, the magic and martial arts are balanced, and the natural pressure will not be so great. As for the case of being killed because of this , Chrollo said that he had never considered such a thing at all. He would not let his team members die needlessly, but he would not let them back off without fighting!

For the brigade, death is a common thing, and death is just not strong enough, and in order to get rid of possible death, let them try to stay away from danger, even if this kind of thing has to be considered, then he is not a brigade. The head of the regiment, but the kindergarten aunt!

But Cellulu is different. She doesn't have their "dead as home" spirit. All she thinks about is how to make them live as much as possible. She and Chrollo are the main targets. Ah, in that case, when there are other options, why do you have to drag them into danger, not to mention that it is not always not meeting them, but just delaying time.

Thinking like this, Cellulu also knew that while protecting Feitan and the knight, she took the life of the temple knight, but her relationship was already close and distant, so Cellulu admitted that she was being selfish. But whether she will do it or not depends on Chrollo, so she stared at Chrollo, waiting for his answer.

Chrollo looked at Cellulo's eyes, not as cold and indifferent as usual, full of tension, as if if he didn't agree, she would continue to persuade, because it was about their lives? Only their lives were the things that worried her the most. Even though she didn't take her own lives seriously, she paid great attention to them. Is this how she liked them? Not their feelings, but as long as they live?

That's right, she told him that when she was in the world of Women's Reverence, didn't she? It's just that he didn't take it seriously at that time, but as he got to know it more and more, Chrollo slowly realized the fact that all the words that seemed to be inexplicable at the time were actually celluloid. The most real and unchanging voice.

And the most important thing is, from the first realization to now, her feelings have never been shaken, never decreased but never increased. In the past, she felt less because she hid deeply, and he didn't care so much and paid close attention to her. Later, he felt more , but it is because of a change in mood, but now I realize that less and more are the same, so it seems insufficient.

Chrollo didn't continue to ponder, and now is not the time to ponder, although he has discovered that this girl who thought there was nothing worth pondering at the time has become a person who can't figure it out the more he ponders, and he also thinks about this kind of pondering. The process seems to be quite enjoyable.

He finally agreed with Celluloid's proposal, not because he really thought they should avoid the war in order to increase their chances of saving lives, but since it would be more beneficial to do so, why not do it.

Looking back at Feitan and the knight, Chrollo shook his head and made a gesture not to keep up, and then started to break through in the direction of the Temple Knights. Seeing his move, Selulu knew that he still agreed. Her proposal, just as the smile climbed to her lips, was frozen by Chrollo's incomprehensible words.

"Oh, you really are half-hearted and whole-hearted."

Cellulo didn't understand what Chrollo meant by that? Satire? sarcasm? warn? or something else? And why does it always sound like you're saying, 'You're killing yourself with all your heart'?

She couldn't figure out what Chrollo was thinking, so Cellulu didn't dare to talk to him. Anyway, she had to concentrate on the battle now, and it was really not suitable for talking. She leaned on Chrollo and kept her eyes on Chrollo. , I can't wait to turn myself into a wooden statue.

From the rear, watching Feitan and the knights who were leaving, they looked at each other in surprise after realizing that the surrounding circle of undead had also moved and evacuated as the two of them went away. The way to move closer to the head of the regiment, and then saw Chrollo's gesture to tell them not to follow up to meet, I thought there were other arrangements, but now, it is obvious that they are placed in a relatively safe position?

"What does the head of the group mean by doing this?" The knight seemed extremely puzzled. "Why don't you let us follow along and fight together?"

"Who knows? The regimental commander always has his reasons," Feitan generally never questioned the regimental commander's decision, so he replied habitually. He also frowned suspiciously, "But what's the benefit of keeping us here? Instead, their combat power is even tighter."

"Yeah, so I think it's strange, this doesn't look like an order from the head of the group at all," the knight nodded in agreement and asked Feitan in a blink of an eye. "Would you like to follow?"

Feitan struggled between going against the commander's order and choosing to stay. For a moment, the idea of ​​convincing the commander prevailed, "No, wait until the situation is not right, and then go up."

The knights thought about it and felt that this was better. Moreover, they were seriously injured in the fierce battle just now. It is better to take a breath now and wait until there is enough energy to fight again.

With the efforts of both Chrollo and the Knights of the Temple, the two sides finally cut off the siege of the undead army and 'joined in victory', although in fact no one has any feelings for the other, Chrollo is based on using others as cannon fodder. Although the Temple Knights have great suspicion and distrust of these two people who hide their heads and show their tails, and even one of them will use undead magic, the order of Lord Price is to be loyal to the rules of knighthood. The knights of the undead have taken 100% of their heart and strength to protect these two people. At least from the perspective of the urgent offensive of the undead, these two people must have an extremely important role in them.

Chrollo manipulated the magic and struck the undead around him. He moved and dodged very quickly, retreating toward the center of the Temple Knights. After reaching the center safely, he watched the Temple Knights encircle them and guarded them. At the very end, Chrollo's mouth curled into a smile.

Let's hope they hold out until the last minute before things get better.

While gathering the remaining survivors, the Temple Knights started a war of attrition with the undead army, but from the perspective of the number and characteristics, it is also obvious that the Temple Knights and the survivors are at an overwhelming disadvantage. After all, They will not be resurrected if they die here, but the undead army can continue to regenerate from the demonic death energy. While Price is fighting, he also recognizes this grim fact, but he can't do anything about it, only Can bite the bullet and continue to fight until death comes or a miracle happens.

The miracle did happen, but it was not on their side. After the first arm condensed and formed, the magical energy in the sky was compressed again, and soon the second arm also condensed and formed, and with the recovery, all the undead creatures were the same. Then it was upgraded again. Not to mention the others, even the skeleton at the bottom has become a golden skeleton. One is as strong as a fourth-level magician and a fourth-level warrior. Although it sounds like it is still not high, but You know, how many skeletons are there in this city now? Quantitative change is enough to cause qualitative change, not to mention that Level 4 is actually not a weak powerhouse in this world.

The pressure has more than doubled again. Price almost vomited blood, and he did vomit blood. He was slapped by an iron-armored crocodile. Just now, he was pressing the crocodile to beat him. It has become evenly matched, and even because of the infinite magical nourishment, this terrifying crocodile has become more sensitive and powerful.

A knight said anxiously during the battle, "Lord Price, if this goes on, the entire army will be wiped out. Do you want to retreat first, those undeads have always targeted those two people."

He glanced over there in disgust, because the defensive circle had collapsed due to the increased pressure, and Chrollo had to join the battle again. At this time, he was naturally using undead magic and dark magic.

"No, keep going!" Price roared.

The knight is not fair. "But that person used undead magic! Besides, who knows if the person who was wearing a black cloak in his arms is also a demon, maybe they are not necessarily fighting in the nest!"

Price froze for a moment. He just watched the demons desperately want to kill them. Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, he issued the order to protect. But now listening to the knight, Price also doubts it. Get up, don't end up being an oolong, mistakenly treating the enemy as a good person.

No, if he didn't understand that he really couldn't continue to protect him, Price gritted his teeth and came to Chrollo's side, asking bluntly.

"Who are you and why do you use undead magic? And the person in your arms, let him put down his cloak, let us see if it is a demon, if not, we will naturally protect you with all our strength, if it is , you don't have to bite the dog, I'll do it for heaven!"

Chrollo's dark and deep eyes shrank a little inexplicably before indifferently refusing. "I am a student of Thessalos Dark Department. For research purposes, I only know some undead magic. As for her, she suffered some injuries some time ago. Girls love beauty and don't want to be seen by others with their scarred appearance. I just covered it with a cloak, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

Price was skeptical, but the knight next to him didn't believe it at all. He shouted: "Who knows if you have an excuse not to take off his cloak, we won't believe it."

"I heard that the knights of the Temple of Light sympathize with the poor and weak, and are very polite to ladies. Oh, it seems that it is just a rumor." Chrollo raised his lips slightly and sneered.

The knight was furious, "What did you say!" He wanted to do something, but was stopped by Price, although his face was also very ugly at this time, and he was very unhappy when someone questioned the integrity of the temple knights. At this stage, it should be harvested as soon as it looks good, but once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is difficult to remove them, especially in this case, so Price still insisted.

"It is reasonable to continue to insist, but the situation is special at the moment, please also ask the lady in your arms to lift the cloak and let me wait and see. I can use the reputation of my temple and Templar to guarantee that there will be no contempt here because of appearance. other people."

Although she knew that the other party didn't necessarily believe it, she still said, "I'm really not a demon. It's just that my face was burnt and the scar was very large before I put on my cloak. Please don't let my face be exposed to the public. In that case, I might as well die." She said, and sobbed a few times in a low voice.

"This..." When Price heard the voice of a really young girl, and the girl's cry made it sound like he was bullying, he immediately softened, "So we are being rude."

He pulled away the knight who seemed to have some doubts and disbelief, and Cellulu sighed to herself, her current light bulb state is really not suitable for anyone to see.
