Eighth Crown

"What the **** happened here?"

Lan controlled the wings behind him and flew in mid-air, observing the situation in the canyon below.

Needless to say, there was definitely a big battle going on here.

But at this moment, no matter how Lan looked, the canyon was empty, not a single figure was left here, Chi Tong, the mission target, was not there, nor was Hei Tong and others who came to pursue him.

In the end, the cannon that Destaguru fired into the sky had a huge visual range, and even those who were more than ten kilometers away could see it clearly.

Ran was dispatched by Esdes to observe the situation because his own Tegu Wanli Flying Mostima had the ability to fly.

Because they had not caught up with Najeta and others mentioned in the information, they also faintly realized that there might be a problem on the other side, so Lan rushed here without any hesitation.

But he still came a step late. By the time he arrived, Ye Xi had already retreated, and even the three of Hei Tong were taken away by them.

"...Lan? Is that Ran?"

An extremely weak voice came from the forest, causing Lan to quickly fall from the air and walk into the forest.

As soon as she entered the forest, Lan saw Liu Xia lying on the ground, as if she had completely lost her ability to move.

His arm seemed to have been stabbed, and the white shirt was not only stained with mud, but also stained with dazzling blood.

Not only that, there are several black incantations lingering on his body, and his face, neck, arms and other parts are occupied by small black incantations like tadpoles, as if he is imprisoned in the curse. Medium.

These curses seemed to make Liu Xia very painful, not only could he not even move, but even his breath and voice became extremely weak, as if he might die at any time.

"Deputy captain?! Are you all right?"

When Lan saw this, her eyes widened, and she stepped forward quickly and lifted Liu Xia from the ground, "What happened?"

"I was slashed by Chi Tong... I was poisoned by a curse."

Liu Xia gasped lightly, her face was pale, and she looked like she was still stubbornly resisting when she was about to die, "She left after hitting me, I probably didn't expect me to survive under her curse... ...Take me back first, I feel a little overwhelmed."

"I see."

Lan quickly supported Liu Xia's arm and took him to the sky.

…………

I do not know when the sky was already covered with dark clouds, blocking most of the sunlight above the clouds, and the air became cold, as if a torrential rain might fall at any time.

The hunter's group found a hotel in a city on the way to stay, on the one hand to avoid the heavy rain, and on the other hand to let the seriously injured Liu Xia rest.

"In the end what happened?"

In the hotel, Esdes' face was so calm that there was no trace of joy or anger, but at this moment, the feeling she gave people was much more frightening than on the battlefield.

"It was a night attack, and everyone in the night attack was ambushed in the canyon."

Liu Xia shook his head weakly, "It's only a night attack, and the eight rooms of Hei Tong can still deal with it. I didn't expect the undead to be there... We were soon forced to spread out."

"Hei Tong and the others may have already... I was slashed by Chi Tong's slaying slash, Murasame, but fortunately she didn't check my condition carefully, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back. Sorry, Captain, it's my fault. "

"The Night Raiders and the Undead...Did they actually join forces?"

As if imagining the difficulty of hell, Lan felt that her breathing became quicker.

All the members of the Night Raid are Digu envoys, and they have extraordinary combat power, plus a undead who is extremely good at assassination and can fight Aesdes head-on... I am afraid that only Ace is in this lineup. Des personally leads the team to win, no one else can.

"It's not your fault, don't take it to heart."

Esdes lowered the brim of the military cap, leaving only a pair of cold eyes, "They would actually join forces, I didn't even think that this was my mistake."

"How is your situation compared to this?"

Esdes looked at Liu Xia, his icy blue eyes scrutinized him, and a little surprise appeared on his face, "I was hit by Chi Tong's curse poison, even I don't have the confidence to survive, I really owe you. Can you hold on, how did you do it?"

"I hope the captain can forgive my concealment. In fact, in addition to being a Teiko envoy, I am also an alchemist."

Liu Xia hesitated for a while, but still told her 'secret', "I survived simply because I have remodeled my body and have a different vitality from humans... However, I want to completely remove the curse poison, It can't be done in a short time, and I may not be able to help in the next protection mission."

"It turns out that although I am your boss, you are not obliged to report anything to me. It is not a bad thing to hide something, at least this time hiding will save your life."

Esdes nodded leniently, "You should rest well during this time. The task of Anning Road will be handed over to us. Your ability to recover as soon as possible is the greatest help to us."

"Yes, Captain."

Liu Xia nodded ashamedly, and then walked towards the next room with the support of Seleu.

"Alchemist... I thought this kind of existence had been cut off in history."

Esdes watched the two go away, with a strange feeling in his mouth, "It is said that the first emperor a thousand years ago used alchemy to refine the Teigu using super dangerous species and rare metals, but in After the appearance of Teigu, alchemists rarely saw it, and until now, few people know about the existence of alchemy."

"I didn't expect the vice-captain to be an alchemist."

Lan also praised, "However, there may be no other possibility to survive under Murasame's sword except alchemy."

"By the way, are Liangyi's imperial tools still there?"

Estes suddenly thought of something and asked Lan.

"The vice-captain's Teigu is still there. It should be because the other party was in a hurry and didn't have time to retrieve it."

Lan shook his head, "But I haven't found any of Hei Tong, Will, and Boros's Teigu. It's very likely that they were taken away by night raiders and undead."

"Really... It seems that we have to prepare for the eight rooms in the future."

Esdes walked to the window and looked up at the gloomy sky, his eyes became as dark as the sky.

"Three team members were reduced in one breath... Night Attack, Necromancer..."
