I Was Once a Legend

Before Cui Zuojing could finish his sentence, accompanied by the slight crisp sound of grass blades being trampled and dull footsteps, the pair of scarlets finally completely left the cover of darkness, and their huge bodies were exposed in front of everyone.

silence.

It's hard to say exactly what this thing is.

The feeling of suffocation and oppression is the most direct feeling it gives to the two brothers of the Dong family.The person in front of him—let’s call it a person, is more than two meters tall. He is integrated with a war horse from the waist down. His whole body is covered with thick armor. With every step he takes, old rust rusts down.

It has an old and decaying aura, just like when Dong Zheng watched it crawl out of the bottomless coffin, the aura from hell.

Its head seemed to be just a heavy helmet, filled with black mist, two scarlet fires were dimly lit at the position of the eyes, and it was holding the same rusty long sword, but no one would think that this sword was not sharp enough.

It glanced at Cui Zuojing in front of it, as if it was not interested in him, it turned its head slowly, towards Dong Zheng and Dong Linhai under the tree.

Raise your hand and point your sword.

Dong Zheng clutched the wound on his waist, and Cui Zuojing shared part of his injury, but the excessive blood loss still made him dizzy in front of his eyes. At the moment pointed by Jian Feng, reason and intuition told him at the same time:

run!

"Linhai, you go first." In the blink of an eye, his thoughts turned thousands of times. Dong Zheng understood that facing such a powerful enemy, they did not have the ability to deal with it head-on, and this "Arabidopsis" who signed the blood contract in a hurry... Dong Zheng didn't think he could deal with this monster with a full body.

Linhai looked at the centaur monster, Dong Zheng, who was covered in blood, and Cui Zuojing, who was still upset, did not stage the boring and time-wasting "Let's go together" scene, gritted his teeth, turned around and entered In the dark forest, the figure was quickly engulfed by the fog.

And "it" just silently watched Linhai leave face to face, without any sign of chasing after him, his eyes refocused on the scarred Dong Zheng, it seemed that there was only one goal.

really.

Being pointed at by the tip of the sword, Dong Zheng's heart sank, but he also firmly guessed that the golden ball he took from the coffin before was indeed a key item. This monster should be a role similar to a guardian——

"You go too."

Cui Zuojing said abruptly, he touched the bandage on his shoulder, and sighed, "Leave this to me, you hurry up and find a way to leave, I don't want to waste too much money in such a boring and stupid box." long time."

"It's a guardian, and its level should be invincible at this stage. It might still be possible for the two of us—"

"You will only hold me back." Cui Zuojing interrupted him neatly, and raised his lips with a smile, "To fight the five scums, you must have the consciousness to fight the five scums. If you don't leave, be careful when I start fighting!" I'll kill you too."

Dong Zheng choked, pursed his lower lip, and instinctively told Dong Zheng: Trust him.

He seemed to have something to say, but in the end he just took a deep look at the slightly thin boy, before "it" could make a move, dragged his injured body, turned around and fled in the same direction as Linhai.

When Dong Zheng took the first step, "it" moved.

Without any unnecessary movements, the heavy long sword covered with rust slashed across the air, and with a swipe sound, the invisible sword energy tore through the air and slashed towards Dong Zheng!

But Cui Zuojing also moved.

He picked up a dead branch on the ground, stood between Dong Zheng and "it", and raised his hand to block it lightly like a child waving wildly.

The sword energy that could instantly cut a person in half disappeared like this.

It's like it never was.

Dong Zheng's figure disappeared into the mist at the opportunity he won, and he was never seen again.

"I can't let you kill him." Cui Zuojing held the branch, his eyes seemed to contain the embers of the fiery flames being forcibly cooled, and looked at the knight coldly: "Henry, long time no see, you seem to have put the I forgot."

The monster called Henry seemed to have never heard his words at all. It let out the neighing of a war horse, kicked its four hooves suddenly, and galloped towards Cui Zuojing!

Kill everything that stands in front of it!

Pong——!

The crisp sound of the iron halberds colliding was the first clarion call of this battle, and a small group of black crows perched in the shadows was aroused. No one could have imagined that this was the sound that a long sword and a branch could make when they collide.But in fact, the moment Cui Zuojing's branch touched the long sword, a piece of the blade was broken off, and the rust scattered.

The huge momentum forced Henry to take two steps back, and finally took a serious look at Cui Zuojing, the obtrusive thing that prevented him from finding the lost thing.

Cui Zuojing threw away the broken branch and picked up a new one. The moment he held it, the dry and fragile branch became the sharpest weapon in the world.

This is his ability in the Pure White Realm, named [Slayer], as the time of entering becomes longer, this power that has been lost for eight years has gradually returned.

"It's not surprising that you forget me, after all, we don't have a deep friendship, but do you still remember Fu Zhe?"

Cui Zuojing said again.Staring at the monster who was much taller than him in front of him, even though he said something close to him, his whole body did not loosen at all.

He is giving himself time to readjust.

Henry still didn't respond, it pulled a rather ancient sword flower, screamed, black air spewed out from the helmet, and rode the horse towards Cui Zuojing again!

Instead of hiding, Cui Zuojing ran two steps towards it, and the distance between them narrowed to the extreme in a blink of an eye.The imaginary handover of soldiers and flesh and blood did not happen. The boy jumped up and blocked the imposing sword with the stone held by his fingertips sideways in the air. on the heart armor!

The specially thickened piece of armor broke instantly and flew out along with the remaining strength, and Henry's chest was exposed in front of Cui Zuojing's eyes. Under the thick armor, there was only a beating heart in the empty body. , three rings of iron hoop tightly locked the only living organ, making every beating extremely difficult, leaving only tremors.

Painful, struggling tremors.

"Roar--!"

The moment his heart was exposed, Henry let out an inhuman howl, and the two red lights in the helmet went out.Under Cui Zuojing's gaze, it staggered back a few steps, "boom!" and bumped into a giant tree.

Layers of cracks appeared on the outermost iron hoop that imprisoned the heart, growing rapidly with the frequency of the heartbeat, and finally shattered with a "wow"!

The thick rust on the armor and the long sword fell off, and the patterns on each piece of armor and every forging mark on the blade were clearly visible.

It no longer looks like a zombie crawling out of an old coffin, but a real knight.

With one less restraint, the heartbeat became much more stable and firm, and after one breath, those eyes lit up again.

Henry looked at Cui Zuojing, and now it seemed to have a little sense of consciousness. The ordinary branch in the young man's hand somehow made him feel timid.

It took two steps back, sensed that the guardian had appeared in another direction, no longer wanted to fight, turned around and rode away.

call--

The silhouette of the knight disappeared from sight, Cui Zuojing let out a long sigh of relief, and the branches in his hand turned into dust one by one and dissipated in the air.

Although he can turn anything into a sharp weapon in his hands, the more fragile something is, the shorter the time it can be used, and the more irreversible damage it will cause.

It's like this branch just disappeared.

Cui Zuojing didn't catch up, he was a little tired, with the curse of a time prisoner on his body, he had just returned, and he shared Dong Zheng's scars, and he was in poor condition.

Not knowing how the two brothers are doing now, Cui Zuojing closed his eyes and held his breath to feel the call from the blood contract and the prisoner card.

It's like looking for a trace of light in a completely dark perceptual world.

found it.

After a breath, Cui Zuojing opened his eyes, contacted Dong Zheng's blood contract and told him that the other party was not in danger now.A normal prisoner can rely on the cards to return to the owner's position in an instant, but before the clown can teach him the relevant operations, Cui Zuojing is summoned here and can only walk over by foot.

Cui Zuojing also had his own prisoners back then, and knew what to do as a master, but apparently Dong Zheng didn't know yet.

So troublesome.

On the other side, Dong Zheng ran all the way in the direction where Dong Linhai left not long ago, and came to a forest hut.

The warm yellow light in the room spread far away through the mist, Dong Zheng slowed down and approached vigilantly.

The house looks like a ranger's hut, with pens for raising chickens and ducks, and a ground nest for the ranger dogs, backed by a stream.He picked up a stone and smashed it on the door of the hut far away. He didn't hear the dog barking or other sounds for a long time.

no one?

For the time being, it is not ruled out that someone hides and wants to trick him deliberately.

The sudden appearance of such a room must be a key plot point, you must go in and take a look.

Dong Zheng counted the contents of the package. Both he and Dong Linhai entered the box for the second time. Like all newcomers, they didn't have much equipment, except for a dagger that was not too sharp when they passed the novice level.

【name】

Broken Dagger (upgradeable)

【Features】

Like its name, it's about to break.

Maybe use it to peel an apple?

He went around to the window and looked in, and there was nothing suspicious beyond the blind spot of his vision.

So Dong Zheng didn't dawdle anymore, he pushed the window directly and went in, trying not to make a sound as he landed on the ground.He glanced at the door in the blind spot just now, and there was a highly decomposed corpse leaning against the door, the blood on the door panel and the ground had dried up and turned black.

If he had pushed the door just now, there was a high probability that the poor corpse would have been smashed to pieces.

The house looked nothing special, Dong Zheng looked around for a week, finally came to the corpse and squatted down, wrinkled his nose disgusted by the rotten smell, and began to check.

Judging from the clothes on his body, this is the owner of the hut, a local forest ranger. There are very obvious finger marks and blood on the remaining skin of his neck, and his jaw is open. Other than that, there are no other wounds. He should be strangled alive. dead.

But... where did the blood come from?

Is there anything else in this room?

Dong Zheng got up slowly, looked behind him, at the corner of the living room and the bedroom, a shadow showed a tiny part, seemed to be aware of being seen, and quickly shrank back.

He suddenly clenched the dagger in his hand.

"Who!"
