Edge of the Apocalypse

"Have you ever thought that if I see you like this, I might get into trouble. After all, killing a third-ranked competitor will benefit me a lot?" Allen said suddenly.

Lucy thought for a while, smiled and said: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"That's it, so you came here according to our original agreement. You subconsciously choose to believe me, so I won't give up on you either!" Allen turned his head, the sun softly fell on his side face . Despite the blood stains on the face, this face is not hideous at all, but there is a kind of peace of mind that people can trust.

With a grin, Allen waved his hand and turned to leave. He jumped onto the hillside and disappeared into Lucy's eyes.

Lucy signed, and a blush passed across her pale little face. She smirked: "Won't give up on you? Hey, this sounds awesome."

"Well, then I have to be obedient. Find a place to hide first, at least, I can't be killed by someone." Lucy helped the trunk and stood up.

The poisonous child in her is not too violent, but suppresses it with his own power. Although the physical fitness is compromised because of this, it is not so serious that it is impossible to move. Just walking, the pace will inevitably be a little vain.

After moving a few steps forward, a mountain breeze passed by Lucy. A sharp light suddenly lit up in the girl's eyes, and the pistol bounced back quickly. At the point of the gun, a figure appeared.

"His Royal Highness is me!" A broad palm pressed down the muzzle, and the owner of the hand was a mighty old man with white beard and hair.

The tower-like body is like cast steel, and even the skin glows like a metal in the sun. The old man was wearing a black suit, brown leather armor, and two cross-handed broadswords on his back. On the broad sword's sword partition, each is engraved with a single wing that opens in the opposite direction.

"Teacher?" Lucy said with an embarrassed face, "How did you find me?"

"His Royal Highness, you are so ridiculous. You came to participate in some federal death ring and bought an official to replace a child. If you let your father know, he must be furious." The old man shook his head.

Lucy hummed from her nostrils: "How can father pay attention to me."

"His Royal Highness, you are his favorite." The old man frowned.

Lucy wrinkled her nose: "He loves those women, not me."

"But he gave you all the Golden Rose."

"That's because I was the only one who could drive Golden Rose." Lucy said hard, but she coughed violently.

The old man's eyes lit up, and brighter and brighter, as if a silver-white flame was ejected from his eyes. He lost his voice: "His Royal Highness, are you poisoned?"

Then he couldn't help but grabbed one of Lucy's arm and spread her palm. The old man stretched out a finger, and his fingertips sprayed out a silver-white source of light. The flame condenses, forming a tiny silver needle. The old man gently pierced the silver needle into Lucy's palm, and suddenly a silver pattern spread from the palm of the hand like a loop, and flowed through his body in a flash.

"Fortunately, it's not a powerful thing." The old man retracted the Yuanli needle, and took out a box from the leather armor instead. The box opened and an injection was taken out of it. The injection was a blue liquid. The old man stuck the needle into Lucy's arm and pressed the antidote all in it.

After a while, the paleness on Lucy's face gradually faded, and a trace of blood floated on her small face.

"Well, at most an hour, the toxins in your Royal Highness's body will be completely eliminated. But you have to tell me who is so bold that dares to poison you!" The old man's tone had already added a hint of murderous intent.

Lucy spread her hand and said, "This is a problem for me, I don't know who did it."

"If this is the case, please go with me, your Highness." The old man frowned and said: "The minister is responsible for the safety of His Highness. I really can't let His Highness continue to mess around like this."

"Okay, okay." Lucy blinked and shook the old man's hand and said: "Teacher, I promise to go back with you. But you have to give me a little more time."

"His Royal Highness!" The old man's voice raised a little, his eyes widened, without anger.

"I can't go back with you now anyway," Lucy said with her arms folded.

The old man said with a headache: "Why is this?"

"Because I promised someone to wait for him to come back."

"That kid?" The old man shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, that's just a kid who is a remnant of the surface. How can you take a risk with a golden body."

"Marquis Metalon, I've made up my mind!" Lucy said in an irrefutable tone: "Anyway, after the death ring is over, I will go back with you."

The old man's expression froze, Lucy changed the title from a teacher to a knight, which was to show her position with another identity. He could only smile bitterly: "Well, since your Highness has made up his mind, the ministers can only accompany them for protection."

Then he said: "His Royal Highness, this is the first time you call your minister by name. Is that kid really that important to you?"

Lucy apologized: "Sorry, teacher. It's just that that person is my friend. Moreover, he is a person worth looking forward to."

"Someone worth looking forward to?" Metaron said, "Well, my lord. I'll keep my eyes open to see what this kid is worth looking forward to."

Allen suddenly felt chills.

He lowered his body mechanically, hid behind a bunch of bushes, and cautiously swept around. Just now, he had a feeling of being stared at by a wolf, which made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. But the surrounding woodland is very quiet, except for occasional wind blowing, a few leaves fall and fall.

Is it an illusion? He thought, shaking his head, Allen stood up again.

He is moving towards the forest to the northwest.

There are plains in both directions to the southeast and nothing to hide. If someone wants to hang behind Lucy to pick up the bargain, they will definitely not choose such an open space that is easy to find. Then, Lin Hai, which is slanting from the north to the west, is undoubtedly the best choice. As for the range, it will not be too large. According to Lucy's own estimation of the time of the poison, the limit distance of the poisoner will not exceed 30 kilometers.

Once this distance is exceeded, it is difficult for Allen to imagine how the opponent will get to Lucy's hiding place in just 15 hours. In fact, this distance will be shorter. As a result, Allen's search difficulty has dropped a lot.

He hid the tactical long knife in the bushes, and people climbed up to the tall tree in front of him. As he emerged from the canopy, Allen saw a sea of ​​forest. To the east, the sun is shining. As for the forest belt extending northward, waves of leaves were raised with the wind. The forest looked calm, and Alan was about to go back, about a kilometer northwest of Hu'er, there was a bird soaring into the sky.

Allen immediately slid down from the tree, picked up the tactical knife, and dived in the direction where the bird appeared.

There must be people walking there to start the forest birds. Regardless of whether the person who poisoned it, since the traces of the activity are so close, it must be confirmed and removed if necessary.

A kilometer distance, only 5 minutes under Allen's feet. As he approached his destination, he heard a girl's exclamation. Allen stopped immediately and climbed up to the canopy of an old tree nearby. As soon as he hid it with forest leaves, he saw a girl running towards him. Suddenly a javelin was thrown and inserted in front of her. The girl stopped, swish, and three javelins dropped again, blocking her retreat.

The girl under the tree is Emily.

Emily turned her back to Ellen, which prevented Ellen from seeing the girl's expression. But judging from her rapid breathing, the girl was very nervous. Two teenagers emerged from a camphor tree not far away. Walking ahead was a boy with light brown curly hair and freckles on his childish face. With a javelin in his hand, it seems that he blocked Emily's retreat just now.

Another tall black teenager, with short blond hair and a lip ring around his mouth, was looking at Emily miserably.

Allen quickly recalled their information in his mind. The boy who used the javelin was Lafite, and the black man was Canon. The strength of these two people is only in the midstream, and in Alan's eyes, their bodies are shining like morning mist. Inside its body, there are four light spots gleaming~www.readwn.com~Allen now knows that not everyone's ray of light can be observed. Like Hughton, Alan can only see it when he uses Yuan Li, unlike Lieutenant Ron and the others, whose Yuan Li light is clearly visible. When visible, the intensity of the light is usually directly linked to the level of the source force, so a teenager like Lafite who only has four source force vortices, the source force light is neither bright nor clear.

Of course, Allen is no better than them.

With two fourth-level source powers, Allen asked himself to be sure to deal with them. After all, Joe and Hera were no weaker than the two in front of him, so he hid his body with bated breath and watched the changes.

"Okay, Emily. You can't escape, I guess, you want to reunite with Lucy, so you can get her shelter again?" Black teenager Cannon said in a bad tone.

Lafite turned the javelin lightly, and said in a cold voice: "Tell us where Lucy is, or you are willing to let Canon torment him and then say it. But I believe it must be an unpleasant experience."

"You are looking for trouble with Lucy?" Emily's voice was lovely, but with her hand behind her back, she slipped a dagger from her sleeve.

Of course, Rafi and Canon must not know. Alan could see clearly, his gaze fell on the dagger, and Alan's eyes looked at Emily two more guarded.

"I can tell you where she is, and I can assure you that you can clean her up easily." Emily's voice is delicate: "She should be hard to protect herself now. If you make a move, she has no room to resist."

"Oh, why?" Rafi frowned: "She is a good player at the top, I don't think she can deal with it so easily."

"No matter how difficult it is to deal with people who are poisoned, there is nothing to be afraid of." Emily said astonishingly.
