Screaming Cycle

To some extent, the young man in black robes is not just a human being.

His rank in the holy court is only a monk who can't even be regarded as a priest, and even his special background determines that he will never be able to advance to the next level.

But as long as people with a little status in the holy court know that the black robe youth, and the other eleven monks who have the same status as him, can't just take it lightly by rank.

Because these people's identities are "Holy Sons."

They are children searched by the holy court on the Western European continent, and they are born with a light affinity far stronger than ordinary people.

When they were just four or five-year-olds who didn't know anything, they were taken from their homes by the Paladins, sent to the Holy Capital, and kept in the central cathedral, almost as being taught by the Pope himself.

The holy court will ask these children to recite the names of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit day and night with the standard of ascetic monks, cultivate the most pious faith in a completely enclosed environment, and be baptized by the Holy Light at all times.

After such day after day, these children's holy light affinity and talents are stimulated to the extreme, and when they reach adulthood, they will become a qualified "container".

What they need to load is a certain "sacred relic" power that is far more powerful than ordinary people can bear.

The Holy Court initiated the Eastern Expedition in the name of "Holy War". It has gone through four generations of popes and has been preparing for more than 80 years. In addition to the powerful army, it also prepared many "sacred relics" collected from all over the world.

They may be the bones of a saint in history, or a drop of blood of the saint preserved by a special method, or a divine object used at a major historical moment, and so on.

These things may be just a precious historical relic in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of the saints, they will become powerful weapons.

The way they use the holy light is different for everyone, but without exception, as long as these holy children appear on the battlefield, they will be able to control the outcome of the battle on their own.

It's just a pity that people who are born with holy light affinity are scarce, and the holy sons who can raise enough to control the "sacred relics" are even a few of the few.

For more than 30 years, a cardinal has been responsible for this task.

His knights have brought back more than two hundred children with holy light affinity from all over the world, but most of the children are like seedlings that barely grow under excessive sunlight, and they are weak before they reach adulthood. And die.

Finally, when the holy war came, there were only twelve of these special saints who could join the expeditionary army.

The Holy Court naturally cherishes such precious battlefield resources.

Especially when the Son is incarnate in the "Holy Spirit" form, it will crazily consume the power of the Holy Light contained in the "Holy Relic", so it is even easier to use it.

If it weren’t for the Dong’s Second Young Master’s corpse control technique, it would be a huge trouble for the Holy Court’s Eastern Expeditions. In addition, the previous few interceptions and the elite Paladin squad If the annihilation is over, I am afraid that Ji Yu and the others will not see the secret weapon of "Holy Son" at this time.

Now, the black-robed saint who is fighting Ji Shu and Ren Jian silently is baptized named "Anthony", and the "sacred relic" he is in charge of is the coffin of a certain pope who was buried two hundred years ago.

Anthony ranks ninth among the Twelve Sons. Although he is not the strongest, he is definitely not weak.

Long before inheriting his holy relics, Anthony, like the other eleven holy sons who lived to the present, had already lost the seven emotions, emotions, anger, sorrow and joy that belonged to normal people.

He is like a real "box" without heart and soul. The value of physical existence is to replace the "sacred relic" as the carrier of the holy light in the world.

He is not afraid of death and knows no pain.

He would only be like a precise and cold machine, devoting all his intellect to thinking about how to complete the task assigned to him by the holy court.

So when Anthony suddenly felt a pulling force on his body and dragged him down, his first reaction was to flap his wings of the Holy Light and fly high.

However, he couldn't move at all.

The black-robed youth calmly lowered his head and saw a long arrow pierced obliquely from his back. The tip penetrated his shoulder and got stuck in his flesh. There was a long rope tied to the end of the arrow. , The other end of the rope is tied to a tree.

Anthony certainly knew that there was a marksman who used bow and arrow among the enemies.

However, since the beginning of the battle, Ji Xiaoniao has used electric arrows with no entities.

Even the Son of God will inevitably form a mindset, thinking that the way of fighting on the other side is like this.

According to Ji Lu's previous actual combat experience, such tricks that are mixed with reality and have reality in the virtual are always particularly effective when fighting against the enemy who will think about it.

It's the same this time.

Ji Xiaoniao changed positions one after another, shooting several arrows from various angles in a very short time, mixed with a real arrow at a suitable position, and tied a rope behind the arrow.

The black-robed youth has a body of holy light, and Ji Shu's electric arrows are often difficult to break through. Therefore, in order to strike at a critical moment, he no longer spares "stock" and concentrates most of the electrical energy in the body in this only one. On the physical arrow.

Sure enough, even with the Holy Light, there are limits to endurance.

The arrow tip broke through Anthony's light barrier and plunged into his shoulder.

"Second Young Master Dong!"

Seeing that it was done, Ji Lu immediately yelled:

"Do me a favor!"

This trick of tying a rope on an arrow was used by Ji Shun in the "SCP Containment Campaign" when he was fighting a two-headed flying dragon.

It's just that at that time he had Tie Longsuo and other Truth-based SCP items that were beyond common sense in hand, so he was naturally coquettish as he wanted.

But it doesn't matter. Even without the dragon rope, there are still many very practical alternatives in "Peach Blossom Spring", such as the outdoor climbing rope woven with three strands of carbon steel fiber that he now tied to the arrow.

All that was left to do now was to drag him down from the sky before the young man in the black robe broke free from the arrow.

Sure enough, Ji Tuan had just finished shouting, and the living corpses that had been besieging the Paladins before moved quickly.

The Second Young Master Dong, who didn't know where he was hiding, commanded his zombie mercenaries to surround him, grabbing the rope tied to the tree with his hands and feet, pulling it like a tug-of-war.

Hearing a loud sound of "boom", the shining golden "Holy Son" in the sky plummeted down like a shooting star, and came to the ground with a solid body.

The fall was extremely fierce, and Ji Tuan untimely sounded the "Angel on the Floor", an old Internet stalker who had been outdated for decades, and couldn't help but **** his lips.

While smiling, Ji Xiaoniao once again rolled up his long bow and shot three arrows at the young man in black robe who had just hit the ground.

The impact of the landing was too great, Anthony could no longer maintain the power of the Holy Light on his body, but his opponent knew what "killing you while you were sick", and at this time the electric arrow shot accurately hit him.

Anthony twitched all over.

He doesn't feel pain, he doesn't feel fear, but he can't resist the damage to the body caused by the electric current.

In the next second, a figure jumped out like a gust of wind.

It is Ren Jianmo.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had never been a maverick, but when he was fighting with Ji Shu, he realized the tacit understanding that didn't need words every time.

The two hadn't even said half a word just now, but only looking at the curly-haired child's eyes, Ren Jianmo had guessed the other party's thoughts in good faith.

At the moment the black-robed youth landed, he flew out, flipped his wrist, "everything living" turned into two long swords, and reached the enemy in an instant.

"puppet."

Ren Jian silently spit out two words coldly.

As he said, he raised the knife and cut it open Anthony's throat.

&&&&&&&&&

Compared with the previous one, the battlefield this time can only be described by the words "a mess".

The electric energy stored in Ji Shu's body was almost exhausted, and he fell on his back on his back, panting for breath, and took out an "atomic generator box" from the space ring to recharge himself.

——Well, if only we could find a collection with unlimited energy supply.

Ji Xuan thought of the cowhide water bag that Bing Shi carried with him, which contained the water of the next reservoir. That was envy, jealousy and hatred.

Until then, the Second Young Master Dong, who had been hiding in the corner, ran out with Uncle Zhong and Zhuzi Pidianpidian.

"Hehehehe."

Although Dong Jing was still wearing a girl's culottes, he deliberately took Wusheng's square steps, and the uncle walked to Ji Shun's side and wiped his nose, "Is this young master good?"

"awesome!"

Ji Shu compared his thumb, then raised his hand and drew a virtual circle:

"The second young master of Dong's family, who is still in trouble, cleaned up."

Although Dong’s second master’s corpse control technique is sharp, the fighting methods of the living corpses are simple and rude. After raging, more than a dozen paladins and their mounts were torn apart. The visual effect is real. It's a bit too scary.

Dong Jing curled his lips reluctantly, but didn't say anything, just pinched a hand, and ordered the zombie army to clean the battlefield.

Ji Lu turned over and sat up from the ground.

He habitually searched for the figure of Ren Damei in his family, and soon saw Ren Jianmo walking towards the cart parked on the periphery of the battle circle.

"Yes!"

Ji Shu immediately jumped up and chased it quickly.

Now, the two horses pulling the cart are the only living creatures here besides the Ji Thrush and the others, but their reaction is very calm. They have been standing in place obediently, seeing strangers approaching. Show how much anxiety or resistance.

Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo walked to the front of the cart together.

There are two boxes, one large and one small, on the cart.

The big one is the one that Ji Tuan feels like a coffin. The inside is empty, with only a layer of delicate red velvet cushions.

The small box is about the same size as the large suitcase.

It was cushioned under the coffin, and it was so tightly covered that it was impossible to see what was inside.
