Chapter 19 The Huntress
Before leaving. Inside Zhengzhou Railway Station.
"Remember, you must not be alone outside, especially at night. We still need to continuously strengthen our defensive witchcraft. We must not take it lightly." Zheng Cheng stood in front of his roommate and ordered.
The huge train station was crowded with people, and people carrying heavy boxes passed by Zheng Cheng from time to time. There was a circle of people on the floor tiles next to Zheng Cheng, and some fell asleep directly in front of them.
.
"Oh, my family didn't scold me to death. They said that I was so crazy that I ran back to Zhengzhou. As a result, I can only stand and go back now, which is a sin." Xiong Da has been complaining since he left the dormitory door until now. And the hand in his hand
The standing ticket has already been distorted.
"I have a feeling we will meet again soon," Lu Shi said.
"I hope the New Year will be over." Xiong Da said intently, staring at a man sleeping in a weird posture next to him.
"I think so too," Zheng Cheng said.
...
The phone vibrated violently and woke up Zheng Cheng who was lying on the bed. Zheng Cheng reluctantly opened his hazy eyes and fumbled for the phone.
"I said you've been back for so many days without even calling us. What kind of trouble are you going to make? You have to come out no matter what you say tonight. If you don't come out, we'll break off our relationship. You can figure it out yourself." Zheng Cheng said
After my friend finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"I,,,," Zheng Cheng put down the phone helplessly. He glanced at the date on the phone. This glance really surprised him. It turned out that he had spent three whole days and three nights in his bed.
, during this period he realized that he was called by his parents to eat a few bites of food, and then he was in an unconscious state.
"My bed is still warm." Zheng Cheng explained to himself. He turned his head with difficulty but accidentally knocked the "Guidelines for Defense against Witchcraft" on the bedside to the floor. The yellow book cover was still there.
It's the words "Homer's Epic", but the handwriting is almost blurry and can't be seen clearly. It seems that Zheng Cheng has found what he wants to do after he gets up.
"No matter how dangerous attacking witchcraft is, it can be effectively resisted by defensive witchcraft. As long as your magic power is stronger, your protective shield will be more indestructible. To do this, you need to constantly discover the secrets in the magic power, because it
Contains the mysterious power of witchcraft." Zheng Cheng chewed the fragrant milk bread and read the content on the page.
"Your father and I have to work night shifts tonight, so we need to prepare some food at home. You haven't had a proper meal in several days." Zheng Cheng's mother opened the door and said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm probably tired from doing homework at school, and the dormitory is so cold that I can't sleep well, so I'm going to catch up on some sleep for a few days." Zheng Cheng explained.
“If you don’t read all the professional books, how can you read heroic stories?”
When Zheng Cheng came out of his friend's house, the bell had already struck one o'clock in the morning. He felt a little uneasy. Although there were cars with lights on on the street driving towards him, there were already few people on the street. It was a moonless night.
It was very unsettling. Zheng Cheng hailed an empty car and quickly got on it.
"You look bad, young man." The driver looked at Zheng Cheng sitting behind him through the rear mirror and said.
"Really? Maybe I didn't sleep well." Zheng Cheng couldn't find a reasonable explanation. In fact, he had been sleeping these past few days. Zheng Cheng turned his head and looked out the window at the night.
"Don't stay up so late every day. It's not a good habit." The driver said meaningfully.
The car was driving on Binjiang Avenue. Due to the slow speed, Zheng Cheng could see the fishing boats with lights on the river in the distance. Even if there was no moon, the lake was still shining with waves. Maybe there was a lighthouse nearby that he couldn't see.
, Zheng Cheng thought like this, but he didn't expect that the driver's eyes looked at him with a deep blue light.
It wasn't until he opened the door that Zheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the hunter Ajer did not appear. Zheng Cheng swallowed a glass of warm water and came to his table. However, what surprised him was that the book "Defense against Witchcraft"
The "Guide" was missing, but it had been placed in a prominent position on the table.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a while, Zheng Cheng thought that someone had come to his room and taken the book away. His parents had gone to work early, and there had been no guests at home in the past few days. Could it be that he had slept too much these days?
Sinking? Or,,,
Zheng Cheng looked out the window. There was a petite figure standing under the street lamp. Zheng Cheng would never forget this figure even if he closed his eyes.
, through the relatively clear street lights, Zheng Cheng was completely sure that it was Xia Qing, but why did Xia Qing suddenly appear downstairs in his house?
Zheng Cheng didn't think any more. He put on the windbreaker he had just taken off and rushed downstairs. He was just about to explain it to her, but now his brain was completely confused because he didn't think about it at all.
However, Xia Qing and him were not in the same province, and he had never told her the specific location of his home, and Xia Qing would not inform him before coming.
"Xia Qing!" Zheng Cheng opened the iron door downstairs and ran quickly towards the street lamp, but he quickly stopped because no one appeared in his sight, and there was no one under the street lamp where Xia Qing appeared.
Any sign that anyone ever existed.
"Uh, it hurts." The strong pain came from the heart where the crystal was attached. Zheng Cheng felt that the jade was unstable again. It was beating his heart so fiercely that it became difficult for him to breathe. Zheng Cheng was in pain.
He had to bend down, and the moment he lowered his head, he saw Xia Qing flashing across his line of sight.
"Hey, hey, I told you to stop." Zheng Cheng chased Xia Qing in front of him, but Xia Qing had no intention of stopping. Zheng Cheng panted and ran quickly. He didn't understand why Xia Qing ran so fast.
, and he is getting further and further away from the gate of the community.
Ajier's cross blocked Zheng Cheng's face. Zheng Cheng raised his arm, but it was too late. Ajier firmly grabbed Zheng Cheng's arm, and the fireball that appeared in his palm was forced to stop.
They were in mid-air. The rolling flames shone on the faces of the two people, but Ajie had a bad smile on his face, while Zheng Cheng looked at Ajie angrily with a face that seemed a little haggard.
"It seems you have no power to fight back." Ajer twisted Zheng Cheng's wrist and said.
"Take your dirty hands away, huh." Zheng Cheng said while holding back the pain.
"I'm afraid not, Zheng Cheng, and I'm worried that you will be locked up in Yuan forever." After Ajer said, the scene around him began to shake. Zheng Cheng felt something was not good, but he had no time to make changes. Maybe there was nothing wrong with it.
Jiana's book introduced how to defend against passive teleportation witchcraft, but he hadn't seen that much yet, and the book had been taken away by a hunter.
When Zheng Cheng gradually recovered from the violent shaking, he was already standing in Sargon's office. The solid wood floor made of walnut mountain wood looked ancient but elegant.
"You are late, my hunter." Sargon's rich voice came over.
"If you know that the defensive witchcraft around his home is very strong, I must try to lead him to a place where the defensive witchcraft is weak," Ajer said.
"So our heroes are getting stronger and stronger now, and they will add such perfect defensive magic to themselves. You are constantly improving, Zheng Cheng." Sargon said.
Zheng Cheng didn't understand why Ajer said there were defensive witchcraft around his house, because he had never cast any defensive witchcraft. After all, he had only read the tip of the iceberg in that book. Zheng Cheng didn't think about it anymore. He raised the
Headed.
Sargon's office was very lively, with a row of people standing around his desk, and Zheng Cheng didn't recognize any of them. Xia Qing, Ye Lan, Lu Shi, Xiong Da and Xin Xiang remained silent.
Two days ago.
Xiong Da drunkenly walked out of a bar. He could barely keep himself from falling while walking, but his pace still made people think he had drunk a lot.
"Oh, brother, don't, don't send me off. I'll go back by myself. My home is nearby." Xiong Da said to a man behind him who was also drunk. He seemed to be in trouble. His alcohol was worse than
The ones on Xiong Da’s body smell even worse.
"Then, let's continue tomorrow night." The man behind Xiong Da said, wandering into a deep alley next to him.
"Hey, Brother Xiong, I won't have any more fun before leaving." A woman in sexy clothes walked towards Xiong Da. The black stockings on her high heels exposed her bloated legs.
Xiong laughed and ignored him. Then he seemed to have some difficulty in recognizing the traffic light and crossed the road at an angle. A squatting woman in front of a green fence on the opposite side attracted Xiong's attention. Although he was almost dizzy from drinking, there was a woman in front of him.
The woman wearing a navy blue down jacket seemed a bit familiar to him.
The woman seemed to see Xiong Da, but her next move surprised Xiong Da. She panicked and hid behind the green fence, but Xiong Da completely recognized Ye Lan. He decisively accelerated his pace, but it only became more and more intense.
His drunkenness made every step he took extremely difficult.
"Ye Lan, wait, wait,,," Xiong Da's vision gradually blurred. He seemed to be looking at the world around him through a layer of gauze. He was standing in the middle of a small square in the center of the street, and Ye Lan seemed to have walked to
At the end of the square, she leaned against a concrete structure and lowered her head as if afraid to see Xiong Da.
"Ye Lan, I, I am Xiong, how did you arrive?" Xiong Da tried his best to stay awake. His eyelids were struggling desperately, and when the defense line collapsed again, he was about to fall completely on the road.
There is no one around the square. The surrounding evergreen shrubs are higher than the surrounding wall, wrapping the entire square in a circle of green. However, it is late at night, and the dim sky dyes the green into a thick ink.
It was dark, and the square seemed to have just been built not long ago without even having time to install street lights. Xiong Da could barely see clearly the clothes on Ye Lan's body.
Ye Lan seemed to become shy. She kept her head down and said nothing. Her black hair was draped over her thin shoulders. This made Xiong Da feel inexplicably strange. He stepped forward and wanted to pat her. It seemed that Xiong Da
As if he wanted to see Ye Lan, he walked over regardless of the pungent smell of alcohol on his body.
"What's wrong, Ye Lan?" Xiong Da bumped closer and closer to Ye Lan.
"I disappoint you. I'm not Ye Lan." Ye Lan suddenly raised her head, and her face was undergoing huge changes. The visible skin was slowly falling off, her facial features were gradually blurred, and the fallen skin was slipping off.
On her smooth clothes, they disappeared like evaporation after falling to the ground, while Xiong Da beside her was already frightened.
"I am the huntress Aphra. Maybe you don't want to see me, but I am very happy to see you." When the skin on Ye Lan's face disappeared completely, a pretty face appeared in front of Xiong Da.
, but there were many tiny spots on her face, which made her face not look so smooth, and her black hair turned crazily golden as if dyed.
"Who are you?" If this woman hadn't been pretty, I believe Xiong Da would have escaped early. However, Xiong Da, who was gradually waking up, felt unfriendly hostility, and the female hunter in front of him seemed to be the same as the hunter from the Yuan Dynasty.
Man.
"To be honest, it's really easy to find you." Aphra took off her down jacket, and the black robe inside fell apart.
"What do you want?" Xiong Da asked, while scanning the surroundings with the corner of his eye. His peripheral vision stopped on the seemingly sharp pointed leaves on the branches of the surrounding shrubs. It seemed that there were protruding thorns on the edges of the leaves.
"I think you should have guessed that your good friend Zheng Cheng has brought you a lot of trouble, so we have to take you all back to Yuan Dynasty to receive the highest education. This is your honor." Aphra's beautiful eyes and
Morgana is comparable, it seems that all women who know witchcraft have a beautiful face, but what is hidden behind the beautiful face is unknown.
"Really? But I feel that what I am receiving now is the highest education." After Xiong Da finished speaking, the leaves on several shrubs around him magically stood up, and then their sharp points were pointed at Aphra.
"Even if you are a beauty, you are not from this world, and you have turned into my girlfriend. So, I'm sorry." Xiong Da, who had already sobered up, sucked a large leaf in front of his raised palm.
, and then these sharp leaves formed a knife-like formation.
"Newcomer, do you want me to knock you to the ground?" Aphra seemed to be mocking Xiong Da.
General Xiong threw out the blades that had gathered into a knife shape, and the blades rolled and roared in the air and approached Aphra step by step. He had been practicing his witchcraft formation a lot in the past few days, and he didn't expect to be able to cast the witchcraft skillfully so quickly.
Magic array.
"I know how to use the witchcraft formation for a while." Aphra calmly took out a piece of fluffy parchment from her sleeve. Then she let go of her hand, and the parchment hung in front of her.
Even if Xiong Da could see the handwriting clearly, he would not recognize it, but the pattern-like mark in the middle was very conspicuous.
"Are you a spell master?" Xiong Da said with a frown.
He had heard Morgana talk about the Talisman Master before. The Talisman Master seals powerful witchcraft in a spell and casts it at critical moments. It is a very effective and fast witchcraft, and there are not many wizards who can do this.
.
The sharp leaves that Xiong Da flew out were scattered in front of the talisman as if they hit a wall, fluttering feebly in mid-air. The talisman seemed to have absorbed the phantom power exerted by Xiong Da, destroying Xiong Da's witchcraft formation. The shrub leaves that had lost their power fell softly.
At the feet of Aphra.
