The red moon returns

Chapter 11 Burning in flames (please read)

In the world of consciousness, Lynch seemed to have returned to the red mist before the time travel.

The only difference was that there was no longer the bloody full moon above his head that had been with him for thousands of years, which made him feel as if he had lost something and his heart was empty.

Countless twisted shadows surged in the fog, and rustling whispers came from the shadows. Everything was so weird, making people inadvertently immersed in huge terror.

Countless fragments of light and shadow flickered repeatedly in Lin Qi's consciousness. It seemed as if millions of years had been gathered into a moment, and it was also as if a pair of indescribable eyes had seen through millions of years in a moment.

The mere existence of it brought with it enough power to drive people crazy and despair, continuously eroding Lynch's will and immersing him in huge terror.

Every moment, his consciousness was hovering on the edge of sinking, and Lynch felt that he might fall into a coma at any time. He could only hold on to the last bit of conscious consciousness and let himself get through second after second.

You must not faint. Fainting is death.

Hold on, hold on a little longer, even for a second.

In a daze, the fragments of light and shadow in front of Lin Qi's eyes gradually became clearer. He seemed to have seen the abandoned city again, the war between the two races, the bloody sacrifices, the leader being beheaded by humans, and the large group of people. The Dreadclaws scattered.

One second, two seconds, Lynch kept gritting his teeth and holding on, like a boat in the wind and rain, which might capsize every second.

Just as he was getting more and more desperate, a red light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes.

A red moon suddenly broke out of the red mist and rose into the sky. The cold moonlight shone on Lin Qi just like it had for thousands of years before.

At the same time, the female voice in my mind made a gentle voice.

[The sacrificial ritual of the ancient scintillator can interrupt the ancient memories of the strange object by eliminating the ritual performer in the memory and driving away the creatures participating in the sacrifice from the idol. 】

"Hu~~"

Lin Qi suddenly sat up from the ground with his head in his hands, breathing heavily.

Only then did he realize that he had regained consciousness and was still in that dilapidated earthen house. The fear from his soul had completely disappeared.

Officer Natalie was not far away. Her clothes were a little messy, and there were a lot of stains on her face and hands. It looked like she had gone through many battles, but she still stood upright at the door, her demeanor still so calm.

"Did you fail? I'm sorry." Officer Natalie sighed regretfully.

"I..." Lin Qi forced a smile, covered his head and whispered, "Successful."

"It only took forty-five minutes to succeed? Are you sure?" Officer Natalie's shocked expression was clear. "It can't be so fast. You actually did it?"

"Oh, I dare to come in with you, and I have my own support. If I can't even help you identify the conditions, why come in? It's just the difficulty of this condition..."

Lin Qi sighed deeply, feeling that no matter how he thought about it, it was like a dream, but he still stated the conditions.

"Kill the execution priest and disperse the participants, very reasonable conditions."

It is very reasonable, but it is not a condition that normal people can complete.

Lin Qi thought to himself that after struggling all the way until now, he finally had to face a situation where he could only rely on his own strength. A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously, making him even more envious of Officer Natalie's heroic appearance just now.

"Don't worry." The police officer comforted her. "It's not difficult to kill the execution priest. The problem now is how to disperse these terror claws. It will take more than ten minutes. It will be difficult."

"Your..."

"The law of power? No matter how strict the law is, some people will violate it. If you want a group of fanatical believers who are making sacrifices to leave the statue, I am afraid it will take a high-level soul-shifter with power level seven or above to do it."

"If the leader is killed, won't these monsters disperse on their own?"

"Not necessarily." The police officer frowned and said in thought, "These Dreadclaws became extinct as early as the Third Age and only exist in the memories of strange creatures in the Dreamland. There are very few records. No one knows how they will react. "

"Are they afraid of anything? For example, fire?"

From his previous experience of playing games, Lynch's first reaction was that Mao Duo was weak in fire.

"This is even more uncertain, but most living things are naturally afraid of fire." The police officer pointed to the surroundings and shook her head. "The problem is that in this cold environment, fuel is a scarce resource. Look, there are not even wooden tools around. , there is no time to slowly collect fuel now. Let me deal with their leaders first. It would be best if they disperse just like that. If not, I will clean up more. When a certain number is cleared, they will naturally collapse. I I’m just afraid of not having enough time.”

"I have a way to set fire, which doesn't require fuel. Do you want to try it? I'll set the fire first. Maybe it will make it easier for you to kill the priest."

"Is your physical condition really okay?"

Lin Qi lifted up his clothes, and saw that the withered tree roots had covered his heart, leaving only a little flesh color in the center, which trembled with the beating of his heart, as if it might be completely swallowed up in the next moment.

"I'm not sure, maybe I fell on the road as soon as I went out. But I have always believed that I have to earn my own life. When others are fighting for me, I should at least do my best to help, so that I can sleep peacefully and die in the future. It’s a safe death. Besides, if you don’t try, it’s probably too late. If you try, you can still survive.”

"Okay." The police officer turned around and patted Lynch on the shoulder, her eyes full of approval, "I was still a little hesitant about what happened next, but based on your words, let's go, do what you said, and let's do it together superior."

"Well, just lead me into the monster group first and don't let me be attacked by the Terror Claws."

"no problem."

There had obviously been several rounds of fierce fighting outside. There were at least ten corpses lying on the ground. Groups of monsters no longer dared to approach and gathered near the statue from a distance. More than a hundred of them formed a group, killing the leader and the leader who presided over the sacrifice. The statue is guarded together in the middle.

A few dozen meters away, the giant leader still waved his claws and roared provocatively.

Officer Natalie shook her long hair expressionlessly and strode out of the earthen house with her sword in hand.

"Are you ready? Lynch."

"Ah."

Lynch completely put aside all worries and even forgot about his physical condition. He took out the ring box that he had collected for a long time from his pocket, took out the ring and held it in his hand.

"Then let's set off. I hope you can survive."

"Don't forget the bet, officer." Lynch smiled.

"Hmm, wait and see. Power, judgment."

Following the police officer's words, the image of the small wooden hammer that had been rotating around the scale appeared behind her, disappeared in a flash, and disappeared into her body. Then Lin Qi felt an indescribable majesty coming from her body, which made people afraid to look directly.

"Follow my footsteps and don't fall behind." Officer Natalie paused and added in a low voice, "Comrade." As he spoke, Officer Natalie stepped forward, but the speed became faster and faster. Lynch needed to go all the way You have to trot to catch up.

Seeing that the group of Terrorclaws was getting closer and closer, the police officer dragged her sword, her speed suddenly increased, and she crashed head-on into the arms of the Terrorclaws who were facing a formidable enemy at the front.

There was a muffled sound, mixed with the sound of broken bones.

The huge Terrorclaw monster was hit so hard that its chest was dented, and its white sternum was inserted upside down. It couldn't even scream. The three-meter-tall monster flew up, and flew into the same kind behind it like a cannonball. The dense swarm of Dreadclaws created a dent.

Taking advantage of the situation, she took two steps forward again. The police officer put her right hand on the hilt of her sword and stepped forward with her left leg.

Boom, one foot hit the ground, and the ground trembled. Several Terrorclaws around were shaken to the point of losing their footing.

And with the power of stepping on the ground, Officer Natalie unsheathed her sword, and with a loud clang, the bright light was like lightning, still so obvious in the daylight.

The bodies of several Terrorclaw monsters seemed to not exist. The sword light flashed past their positions, leaving a thin line of blood on their bodies.

The light dissipated and the sword was sheathed. Officer Natalie ducked down and slipped between the frozen Terrorclaws, while her left foot touched the ground again.

There was another silent vibration, this time the position went deeper and more Terrorclaws were affected.

Especially the ones whose bodies had just been scratched by the sword. As the ground shook, a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out from the thin line. The body also staggered from the position of the thin line to different directions, turning into two smooth and flat parts.

Seeing that she had rushed to the middle of the group of monsters in a few steps, the police officer stopped, twisted her waist and turned around. She unsheathed her sword again and drew a sword circle around her.

It was obviously a narrow sword, but the blade was extremely sharp. When the sword passed by, the surrounding terror claws or waists and abdomens spurted blood and retreated, or were directly cut in two.

For some reason, the police officer's face showed pain at the same time, but in a flash, her expression returned to firmness, and she shouted: "Lynch, it's up to you."

Lynch kept his head down and chased behind the police officer. He didn't even look at the ferocious claws passing by, and kept tightly holding the ring in his hand.

At this time, I heard Officer Natalie's call and looked at the ring in my hand, but hesitated.

The closer it gets to the execution, the more uneasy I feel.

Is this thing really not deadly, traveling companion?

Can you really trust me? You won't lie to me.

After only hesitating for a second, Lynch gritted his teeth and put the ring on his finger.

She is my only support in this world, not to mention she just helped me.

I believe in you, traveling companion.

【Um. You have three minutes for safe use. I wish you a pleasant experience. 】

It feels a bit malicious.

The moment he put on the ring, the method of using the ring immediately appeared in his mind, but before Lynch had time to think about it, severe pain swept through his body instantly.

The fire suddenly appeared, and the flames burned the body.

The burning continued, and every inch of skin was being licked by the flames. The severe pain eroded Lynch's body. It was all-round torture from the inside to the outside, like peeling off the skin, like tearing the muscles repeatedly. Every second is like suffering in hell.

Lin Qi wanted to scream, but the scream became a luxury. Only then did he realize that he had no mouth.

To be precise, he had lost his body and his whole person had turned into a flaming human form.

But the pain was still there, and the torture-like burning pain made him try to take off the ring.

His body had turned into flames, but the ring was still there. He could pull it off as soon as he reached out, but his remaining sanity stopped him in time.

x, this experience is so pleasant.

Three minutes, what are you waiting for, bastard Dreadclaw, come on, let's all have fun together.

The ferocity in his heart burst out, so a humanoid flame like a giant bonfire moved and rushed straight towards the nearest Terrorclaw.

Before Dreadclaw could react, he was tightly wrapped by the flame humanoid, and the thick hair on his body was ignited on the spot, and a sharp roar immediately resounded throughout the square.

The flaming Dreadclaw carried the flame Lynch clinging to his body and ran like crazy. The flames on his body ignited other similar creatures around him, causing the gathered Dreadclaws to run away in fear.

"Hooho."

Seeing that the scene was about to descend into chaos, the leader next to the statue let out a loud roar. After the roar, except for the one that was completely ignited by Lynch and was still running wildly, the other Dreadclaws quickly became quiet.

But soon a second victim appeared.

Lynch had already let go of the first target and rushed towards the other Terrorclaw. The chosen victim waved his claws in horror, trying to tear the flame figure apart.

But fire cannot tear it apart.

The sharp claws passed through the body of the flame humanoid several times in succession, but were unable to stop the approach of the flames. He was hugged by Flame Lynch, and turned into a second source of fire running wildly while wailing.

"Roar."

The leader finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he jumped up and appeared in front of the first victim. With a flash of his sharp claws, he easily chopped off the still-burning Dreadclaw's head, thus relieving it of its pain.

Holding the heads of their kind above their heads, the leader howled louder. The chaotic Dreadclaws seemed to be frightened, and gradually calmed down, focusing on the leader holding the head of the Dreadclaws high.

Right now, under the gaze of all the Dreadclaws.

The lady dressed in a trench coat and top hat rushed to the leader without any warning.

"You're exposed."

Draw your sword and chop.
