Red Moon Returns

Instantly, Lynch realized a problem.

If the person spying on him was the princess's security personnel, they should have paid attention to the three intruders who suddenly entered the camp, and would not wait until the three people walked to the door before carefully checking.

The only explanation is that the other party was waiting for someone to step into a certain position before taking some action.

The countless conspiracy stories he had read in his previous life made Lynch realize the seriousness of the problem.

Leaving the camp and going one step further into the mountains, it is the fiefdom of the Valente family, and Princess Sofia is about to enter this fiefdom.

If she was attacked here, Lynch couldn't imagine what would happen. It would be a disaster.

It's okay that the princess was attacked in her fiefdom, at least the Valente family has an explanation. The problem is that these mountain people are all ghouls, and they belong to the Valente family. With this premise, the nature of the princess's attack here will change. Once someone uses this as an excuse to attack the Valente family for colluding with mysterious aliens to attack royal family members, it will be difficult for the Valente family to clear themselves. Even if the royal family knows that this matter has nothing to do with the Valente family, they must suppress the Valente family for the sake of face. The Valente family may be able to hold on because of their large family and wealth, but as the target that the Valente family has just placed a heavy bet on, Lynch does not have such a large family to lose.

Lynch immediately realized that this matter was not only aimed at the princess, but also at the Valente family and him.

If it is not handled well, not only will the royal family's reputation be cultivated in vain, but its future development in Rand will basically be blocked.

It seems that it is a dead end. As long as someone attacks, whether it succeeds or not, Lynch and the Valente family will be in trouble.

Such a cruel method, almost unsolvable.

No, there is still a chance.

"Let's go."

Lin Qi shouted as he took a step forward, but he felt that he had appeared in front of the group of black-clothed men in the distance.

[Power: Earth, Ability: Scale]

Support from Elder Nicolai.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Just as the princess and her group were about to cross the border of the camp and enter the mountains, a figure suddenly appeared and attracted everyone's attention. In an instant, everyone moved instinctively.

"Who is it!" At the same time as the stern shout sounded, the two black-clothed guards had moved sideways and blocked the way to the back.

Silently, two ghostly figures appeared behind the black-clothed men, and two sharp blades bypassed the two people and stabbed at Lin Qi's chest and throat like a venomous snake.

"Human wall!" A group of black-clothed guards quickly gathered inwards and used their bodies to make the surroundings airtight.

"Protect Your Highness!" The core guards on the innermost side rushed inwards at the first time, ready to protect the princess.

Everything happened in just a moment, and everyone moved.

However, Lynch was one step faster.

Facing the incoming sharp blades and the human wall blocking the way, Lynch ignored them and rushed straight past. Just before the sharp blades were about to hit him, the hourglass necklace on his neck flashed, and [Refuge outside of Time] was activated.

At this moment, Lynch was already outside of time.

No one can block an illusion outside of time, and no one can hurt an afterimage that just passed by.

The two sharp blades directly passed through Lynch, and then Lynch directly passed through the guards blocking the way, through the human wall that had just been built, and before the core guards who had not rushed over to protect the princess with their bodies, Lynch opened his arms amid a few exclamations and jumped towards Princess Sofia.

At the same time, a light and shadow appeared in front of the princess without warning, followed by a shrill scream that broke through the air and the heavy sound of plucking strings.

The light and shadow flashed, half a scream, and blood splattered.

An arrow suddenly pierced through the center of her eyebrows, and then her entire head exploded with a bang, blood and brain matter flew, splashing all over the people around her.

[Power: Hunting, Ability: Precision Sniping]

But it wasn't Princess Sofia's.

Before Her Royal Highness could set foot on the Valente family's fiefdom, she was knocked back headfirst. Lynch's sudden appearance not only successfully attracted all the guards, but also the attackers, and he subconsciously sent out his full strength.

So, the attack was launched, but the arrow shot through the afterimage left by the princess, directly shooting and killing a guard who instinctively hid behind the princess, and Lynch's collision had already knocked the princess away from her original position one step ahead of time, narrowly avoiding the fatal arrow.

Thin bloodstains appeared on her fair cheeks, a few strands of hair flew in the air, and the whistling sound of the arrows made her eardrums painful and splitting. At this time, Lynch's brain was blank, and everything was left to instinctive reaction.

Bang.

The two fell back into the camp. As soon as they touched the ground, Lin Qi instinctively hugged the delicate body in his arms and rolled sideways. The next moment, there was a light sound beside his ear, and there was an arrow on the ground next to his face, which went all the way to the tail feathers. Then the sound of breaking through the air came after him.

"Protect the princess."

In the sudden change, the professional guards have regained their judgment and made the most correct judgment. A group of people rushed directly to Lin Qi who was rolling with the princess, covering the two with their bodies layer by layer, blocking the sight from a distance.

Be careful to prevent a third arrow.

However, at this moment, the space in front of everyone was distorted, and another figure appeared beside the guards.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a green hunting suit, was kneeling on one knee, bending his bow and arrow, aiming with one eye closed, and suddenly appeared in front of people. They looked at each other at close range, and both sides were stunned.

[Power: Earth, Ability: King and Rook Castling]

The gaze lasted for a moment, and the arrow left the string and penetrated several guards who were blocking the line of sight at will. Amidst the screams, the other guards immediately swarmed up and rushed towards the man in the hunting suit. The man in hunting attire did not hesitate for a moment, turned around and ran away with the hunting bow in hand. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a ray of light dragging an afterimage from far to near, appearing in front of him instantly.

[Power: protection, ability, transfer]

The light dissipated, revealing a shining sword light. The tall police officer had arrived in time and sealed her throat with a sword.

The man in hunting attire did not dare to stop. He raised his hunting bow to hold his sword. The hunting bow was cut in two, but Officer Natalie was also staggered by the force of the counterattack and had to get out of the way, revealing... the man behind him. Folding fan.

boom.

The shotgun sprayed out a ball of fire and hit the chest of the man in the hunting suit. Blood spurted out from the man's chest. His body was thrown backwards and fell towards the rushing princess guard. A group of people had already raised their swords and were about to kill him. He chopped it up on the spot.

However, there was only a pop sound, and the body of the man in the hunting suit suddenly exploded, turning into a tattered, blood-stained bush. The staggering figure of the man in the hunting suit had already appeared twenty or thirty meters away, without looking back. He ran wildly to escape into the distance.

[Power: forest, ability, bait]

"Chase, don't let him get away."

The guard was shouting, but at first glance it was impossible to catch up, but then he saw an old mountain man appearing next to him, grabbing a handful of blood-stained soil and holding it in the palm of his hand where the other party disappeared.

The soil squirmed on its own as if it were alive, and in a few seconds it turned into a small clay figure. The old mountain man held it in front of him and blew it gently.

puff.

The portrait was blown back into dirt, and the figure running away in the distance paused, and then its body turned into dust.
