My Maid Knight

2022-03-09/p>Chapter 84 Devil

The tunnel of Northern Crow D3 gathering place was crowded with people again.

Hitomi is hiding here with Black Flag’s mercenaries, and everyone but her has an uneasy look on their faces.

“It’s three o’clock in the afternoon.”

Hitomi glanced at the pocket watch by the torch light, sighed in her heart.

I don’t know if Sidonia’s Sentinels found the mutation in the wilderness.

Last night, the devil beast hiding the sky and covering the earth came from the depths of the wilderness.

If it’s just an ordinary ominous beast tide, with the fortifications of the D3 gathering place, Hitomi is still confident that he can hold his position.

But when she found that all her eyes were full of evil beasts, she quickly dismissed this naive idea.

The devil beast is the ominous beast that drives the law of power, and the difference between it and the ominous beast is equivalent to the difference between the ordinary person and the inheritor, both of which are impossible to mention on equal terms.

This is not a C4 gathering place, and the geographical location is not good. If you are surrounded by groups of devil beasts, it will be a matter of minutes to be broken.

It was too late to escape at this time, so she made a decisive decision and asked the black flag people to abandon the defense of the gathering place and hide in the tunnel with some supplies, hoping to use this to hide the sky and use an empty city strategy to hold it up. The arrival of reinforcements.

I don’t know what happened to the black flag C4 gathering place.

Hitomi looked up, thinking a little.

Not having Nightingale with him last night was the right choice, having an inheritor at the gathering would at least keep them going a little longer.

No…I can’t say that…Although Nightingale is an inheritor, she only has Second Rank now. Once the black flag gathering place is really targeted by the powerful devil beast, her power is only an utterly inadequate measure.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Hitomi became. Facing the tide of devil beast that rolled towards them like an army, the feeling of powerlessness in her heart gradually spread.

Everyone present should have the same feeling, but only she couldn’t express this feeling of powerlessness.

Because she is their leader, she is the leader of everyone, if even she loses her composure, everyone will be crushed by despair before reinforcements arrive.

“Boom——”

“Boom——”

“Boom——”

From the top of the gathering place The tremors were extremely pronounced and powerful, as if the herds of elephants galloped unstoppably across the gathering place directly above them.

Hitomi can even imagine that the gathering place has been razed to the ground by the devil beast tide.

Rao is that the mercenaries usually experience a lot of battles with ominous beasts in the wilderness, and there are still many people shiver coldly at this moment.

The dull and turbid air in the tunnel is getting more and more oppressive, and any sound around is stimulating everyone’s fragile nerves. Hitomi feels that she has to say something to divert everyone’s attention.

“When do you think reinforcements from Sidonia will arrive?” she asked.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them said sullenly: “Sidonia…will those gentlemen take care of our lives?”

“They will come Yes.” Hitomi said firmly, “I once studied in Upper City, and I know Sidonia…

“The city symbolizes the last hope of mankind in the Eden continent, although the long-term peace has caused it to fall into sleep, but when disaster strikes—

“It will protect everyone from disaster, I always believed.”

Hearing her say that, although everyone did not Oppose, but his face is still full of doubts.

They are both from Underground City, and with the riots in Lower City just passed, they have no sense of belonging to Sidonia.

“Don’t believe me!” Hitomi snorted, “Why don’t we make a bet!”

“What bet?” Everyone became interested.

“I bet, within today, Sidonia’s reinforcements will be in the wilderness, and by tomorrow, we will be rescued!”

Hitomi looked confident, “Whoever agrees, whoever Oppose?”

“I don’t believe they can come here tomorrow!” Wolfbite said, rubbing his hands together and exhaling, “I came down in a hurry last night, and I didn’t bring much food supplies, everyone save it a bit. Eat and prepare for a protracted battle.”

“It looks like you are questioning my judgment as a regiment leader!”

Hitomi knew that Wolfbite was right, But she deliberately put on her hips, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, “Are you trying to bet with me?”

“How to bet?”

“If you win, I will Let you be the acting head of the group for a week.”

Hitomi said with a smile, “But if I win, you’ll have to clean the gathering place for a week alone!”

“One person in charge!?” Wolfbite stared, “Do you know how big the gathering place is?”

“How about a bet?”

Hitomi smiled. , “No way No way, you won’t be afraid right??”

“Wolfbite, promise her!” Bob coaxed aside, “When you become the acting head, take us with you. Eat spicy food, and then punish the eldest sister for cleaning her head for a week!”

Everyone also responded.

“Gan, I bet!” Wolfbite slapped his thigh, “Captain, when the time comes, don’t blame me for not being sympathetic!”

“Wait. Sweep the rubbish!” Hitomi looked at the people who were gradually returning to their former liveliness, with the same smile on her face and a little more peace of mind.

But at this moment, there was another loud noise from above the tunnel.

The loud noise was stronger than before. After the loud noise, a large amount of gravel and dust fell from the top of the tunnel. Then, from the entrance of the tunnel, a series of The sound of rocks collapsing.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, and Hitomi motionless listened, and then his face changed dramatically:

“Run, this place is going to collapse!”

They moved towards the exit of the tunnel and ran with both hands and feet, and the collapse behind them quickly spread towards them, like a knocked down Domino Bone Token.

In the extreme chaos, someone tripped over a stone. Hitomi stayed at the end of the line and pulled them up, holding one person between his left and right arms, and finally arrived before the tunnel completely collapsed. exit.

“Count the people!”

Hitomi lay on the ground on her back, her hands sore as if they were not hers, she instructed while breathing fresh air.

“All stand up!” Bob began to line up.

Hitomi rested for a while, stood up, and began to look around her surroundings.

They seem to be lucky enough, at least there is no shadow of a large devil beast in the woods, she decided to let everyone stand by, and she will do a good job of reconnaissance around here and get information.

At this moment, Bob came over with a solemn expression: “We are missing one person, the old cat is missing.”

One missing person?

Hitomi was stunned. Before entering the tunnel last night, she had already counted the number of people. If anyone was missing, it could only be buried in the tunnel.

But she was in charge of the break in the tunnel. She remembered clearly that everyone ran out!

Hitomi’s cold hair suddenly stood up, shouted: “Ready to fight!”

Hitomi’s pupils appeared silver arrays, and through the shade of tree trunks and leaves, she looked around at all around, finally found the initiator.

This is a lion-sized, pitch-black hyena, its scarlet eyes staring at Hitomi with the same indifference, a wisp of gray saliva hanging from the corner of its mouth.

A mercenary corpse was lying on the side, its throat had been torn open, and the wound seemed to have been splashed with sulfuric acid, showing strange signs of corrosion.

Hitomi’s heart sank quickly, this is not an ordinary hyena, not even an ordinary devil beast, she saw the oval-shaped red gem on the “hyena”‘s forehead.

In the wilderness, she has never met this kind of devil beast, but in the inheritor college, she has learned about this kind of devil beast more than once.

The instructor had spoken to her.

The devil beast with “gems” on its body is the culprit who prompted mankind to unite and migrate to the foot of the World Tree under the pressure of survival. It is also the incarnation of evil that is circulating in human stories today——

“Demon”.

The devil does not refer to a specific kind of devil beast, but a group. All devil beasts with the following characteristics will be classified as devils: “‘s gem-like characteristic organ, as long as the core is not damaged, even if the body is scattered ashes and dispersed smoke, the demon can recover from the injury, and finally remains intact.

And the red gem on this hyena’s forehead is its core.

Its scientific name is Three Headed Hound, two heads will grow on both sides of its shoulders in adulthood, and it is a very terrifying high-level devil beast.

It has a core on the forehead of each head. As long as one of the three cores is intact, it can recover all injuries and survive.

Fortunately, this Three Headed Hound is still in its infancy, with only one head on its neck. Its strength is estimated to be around third rank, which is still within the acceptable range.

“Stay back, be careful to get hurt by it!”

Hitomi held the burst crossbow in his left hand and took out a short blade in his right hand, blocking the crowd in front of him.

The Hell Three Headed Hound can control three different laws of power in adulthood, while it has only one head in its infancy, and can only use the Law of Darkness for the time being. The main attack method is to corrode the opponent through wounds .

Hitomi raised his hand and fired an arrow, which was swiftly avoided by the Three Headed Hound. Its figure moved flexibly in the woods, and the ordinary person could only see a black afterimage.

Then, sheltered by the dense forest, it quickly approached Hitomi and launched a violent attack.

The shelter of the woods is useless to Hitomi, and no matter how the Three Headed Hound dodges, her silver eyes are always staring at it.

Three Headed Hound pounced on Hitomi’s original location, but her silhouette suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a Copper Coin landed in front of Three Headed Hound.

In the next instant, Copper Coin caused a violent explosion of spiritual power, Three Headed Hound bore the brunt, and let out a whimper under the loud noise, Hitomi walked out from the shadow of the trees on the side, facing not knowing what to do The Three Headed Hound shoots two arrows in a row.

The arrow hit the Three Headed Hound, also causing an explosion, knocking it to the ground, bloody.

Hitomi took a stride forward, held its head down, and stabbed the short blade infused with spiritual power from top to bottom toward the core.

With a sound of “ka-cha”, several cracks appeared on the surface of the core, and then the cracks quickly expanded and split open, and the Three Headed Hound stiffened and did not move again.

Hitomi took a deep breath, stood up and said, “Look in the vicinity to see if there is a cave where you can hide, make it through today, we’ll…”

Her The body suddenly stiffened.

“Captain?” Bob felt her strangeness and was a little puzzled.

“Fire the flare…”

Hitomi took a deep breath, “Now, immediately, fire the flare.”

Originally, she didn’t intend to do this of.

The signal bomb can help the reinforcements find their position faster, and also allow the nearby devil beasts to find the movement here. It is very likely that they have been surrounded by the devil beast group before the reinforcements arrive.

But she has no choice now.

Just now, she swept through the woods again with her peeping eyes, only to realize that she was surrounded.

At this moment, there was a hell Three Headed Hound crawling in the woods in the distance, walking towards them step by step, and except for her, the rest of the people were also worried about the coming. Disasters know nothing.

This is an adult Three Headed Hound. The three heads on its neck show its sixth rank strength, which is not something she can resist now.

In addition to this fully-formed Three Headed Hound, it is also accompanied by several juvenile Three Headed Hounds with one head and two heads.

Although it is not perfect, it can still be said to use a cleaver to kill a chicken when dealing with an ordinary person.

At Hitomi’s direction, a flare was gradually raised in the woods. It’s a specially made “firework” that can last for several minutes in the air.

It was their only hope.

At this moment, the demons finally launched a general attack, led by the adult Three Headed Hound, and all the remaining Three Headed Hounds rushed over from the woods.

“Be careful!”

Hitomi stared at the Three Headed Hound, the adult hell, and shot two arrows quickly.

The speed of the adult Three Headed Hound is even more, it accelerates halfway, dodging the arrow with ease, and the next moment it is in front of Hitomi.

Hitomi repeats her old trick with a double, and a Copper Coin takes her place, followed by a close-range explosion of spiritual power.

The head on the left shoulder of the Three Headed Hound let out a howl, and at the same time, its whole body was quickly shrouded in a layer of earth-yellow rays of light, condensing a rock barrier to resist it. The shock of spiritual power explosion.

The head on its right shoulder was raised high, and it spat a huge Fireball at Hitomi, who was hiding behind the tree.

Hitomi rolled to the side in embarrassment, and the Fireball hit the tree trunk, which did not cause the imagined explosion, but stuck to the tree like a tarsus maggot.

In the blink of an eye, the entire tree was burned to coke.

Faced with the Three Headed Hound, an adult hell with three laws of power, Rao, who has rich combat experience, can only dodge passively.

As a fifth-order inheritor, the situation is extremely difficult when facing the sixth rank devil beast. Moreover, the strength of the Three Headed Hound in hell also belongs to the first echelon among the sixth rank devil beast. If it goes on like this, it’s only a matter of time before it loses.

The mercenaries of the Black Flag are even more unbearable. The Three Headed Hound has the strength of a third rank devil beast in its childhood. Just one encounter, many people have already lay down on the ground.

Even if it’s just scratches, the damage will be enlarged due to the corrosion of Power of Darkness, and eventually the battle strength will be lost.

Hitomi looked in his eyes, his heart was dripping blood, it was such a momentary loss, the adult hell Three Headed Hound got close again, the front paws glowed with a metallic color, and a residual image was drawn towards him. She fiercely waved away.

This time is inevitable, the leather armor on her body is easily torn apart like rags, and the dark and cold corrosive power invades her body like a shadow.

Hitomi fell heavily to the ground, her body felt a fiery pain, and she looked up at the sky, the flare still shining in midair.

Maybe before tomorrow, Sidonia’s reinforcements will arrive, but she can’t wait.

The screams of the mercenaries came from my ears, and the former comrades fell one by one. Hitomi revealed a joke like playing with prey.

The wisdom of devil beast is no lower than that of human beings, especially the “devil” which is higher level than devil beast.

“Leader, hurry up!”

Bob carried the tower shield to support the Three Headed Hound’s attack, and shouted, “Bring the news back to Sidonia, Brothers revenge!”

“No, how could I leave you and run away?”

She struggled to stand up, “It took us so long to get from Underground City to the wilderness. Time! For so long! For so long!

“How can we die in a place like this before we have had time to enjoy ourselves! “

Not to mention that she didn’t even think about running away, and even if she wanted to, she could easily catch up with her at the speed of the Three Headed Hound.

Instead of leaving her brother behind, She was teased to death by demons while fleeing, so she might as well fight with them to the last moment.

Her hand regained the short blade that fell to the ground, and then paused slightly.

The attack just now shredded the leather armor on her body, and a tube of red potion fell out of her arms and landed next to the short blade.

“Heh…if the inheritor drinks it It, what will the effect be? No one has ever tried it. “

Watching the approaching hell Three Headed Hound, Hitomi grinned, then picked up the potion and gulped down the red liquid in the test tube.

“I’ll save you all” Yes… for sure! ”

She stood up staggeringly, her eyes covered with silver array gradually dyed scarlet.

Thanks for the bold tip. Forgot to set the regular update, more Sorry for the lateness. The preparation is over, and the climax of this chapter will begin tomorrow!
