Chapter 120 The Little Match Girl (8)
At dusk, Sophie walked on the remote street. Occasionally, civilian passers-by looked frightened and cautious when they saw it, so as not to collide with this nobleman with bright clothes and handsome appearance.
The search mission was divided into three groups. He and Mo Hongyu were the strongest, Wang Daoyi, Zhou Bingcheng and the newly joined native Sain, Li Liuhua stayed at the hotel to protect Mu Qiutang. The efficiency of this grouping was naturally not high, but it guaranteed a considerable level of combat power of Wang Daoyi. If he really caught the murderous demon, he could hold on for a longer period of time during confrontation, so he would not be killed because of poor strength. He would have more room to wait for another group to come to support him.
Sophie used her index finger to caress the skinny little gray cat in her arms. The kitten was the devil controlled by Mu Qiutang to convey information. He saw that no one around him asked in a low voice: "Xue Ji, have you found anything?"
Demons are very sensitive to the breath of life and can often find differential information that humans cannot detect.
"No, master." Xue Ji's cold and brief reply came from the shadow.
Sophie didn't care. Xue Ji's temperament was cold on the outside and was not good at speaking on the inside. He had long been used to it. After looking at the unclean streets, he gave up the idea of calling Xue Ji out to accompany her. If it weren't for the crowds of people all the way, Xue Ji would have to hide it as a trump card. Sophie didn't want Xue Ji to hide in her shadow all day long. Even if the communication between the two sides was fine, Xue Girl did not like the sunshine and the too hot environment, but he could feel the emotions that Xue Ji was more willing to stay by her side.
It seemed that he noticed Sophie's thoughts, and the shadow reflected by the boy on the ground was unnaturally distorted and shaking, and then returned to normal.
On the other side.
Compared to Sophie who was comfortable as an outing, Wang Daoyi and Zhou Bingcheng looked much more serious. If they weren't afraid of alarming the enemy, they would have wanted to travel with full arms. Instead, Sain looked more relaxed and was in the mood to look at the two fellow travelers. The man didn't expect that the Highness had a good skill in even a financial manager, but it was not surprising that this group of people had traveled from a distant country to this point.
Without strong strength and rich experience, I'm afraid I'd die halfway.
"I heard that Mr. Sain was a soldier when he was young, and had been to many places and killed monsters for the lord. This is such a great experience." Wang Dao lay a well-behaved white dove on his shoulder, and a little interest appeared on his fat face.
There are many warriors in fairy tales who rely on their wisdom and courage to solve the difficult monsters for the king and lord, and then hug the beauty.
"Yes, I have been keen on adventure since I was a child. In order to practice martial arts, I joined the army when I became an adult. After retiring, I began to travel far away in neighboring countries. As for the achievements of killing that monster, I was really not worth mentioning. I just rely on luck to kill that monster." Sain replied modestly. If his answers were ten years ago, they would have become more complacent and arrogant, but when they reach middle age, they will naturally become much smoother.
"It is certainly commendable to have such courage and perseverance." Zhou Bingcheng shook his head. Whoever takes this polite words seriously is ignorance. Maybe he has luck, but it does not mean that he has poor strength.
Sain smiled slightly, not saying anything.
The three of them chatted while walking. Sain spent most of the time listening or answering questions from Wang Daoyi and Zhou Bingcheng. He was indeed a little curious about these outsiders, but the man did not want to get into any trouble because of his curiosity. The primary purpose was to securely get the bounty promised by Sophie.
Time passes by in searching, the sunset shines on the dim light on the earth, and the night is coming.
Just when the three of them thought they were going to return without success today, they had just passed through an alley, and there was a thin little girl in front of them. The girl's long brown hair looked a little dirty and messy. She was wearing a patched linen skirt. She seemed to have a malnourished and delicate cheeks with a pity and timid expression. I think even a vicious bad guy would put his vigilance when he saw her.
Wang Daoyi, Zhou Bingcheng and Sain were shocked. Using appearance to measure a person is stupid. God knows what kind of power and evil hidden in this little girl's thin body.
"A few kind gentlemen, do you want to buy a match?"
The little girl looked at the three tall men in front of her with her wet eyes as deer, and asked with expectation.
Wang Daoyi and Zhou Bingcheng were stunned for a moment, and their faces turned dark. Even though they didn't know fairy tales well, they naturally knew the widely circulated fairy tale "The Little Match Girl". Unexpectedly, they really won the big prize.
Zhou Bingcheng subconsciously touched the long sword wrapped in oilcloth behind him, and Sain immediately became alert. He knew nothing about fairy tales, but it was too suspicious that a thin little girl ran to such a remote place to sell matches. Wang Daoyi first patted Zhou Bingcheng and Sain's arms, signaling them to be calm. A kind smile appeared on his fat face: "Little sister, how do you sell your matches?"
The little girl ignored the movements of the three men. When she heard Wang Daoyi's words, her eyes became brighter and she said happily: "A match only needs one gold coin. Do you want to buy it?"
The three of them felt a sank in their hearts and their faces twitched. It seemed that they had met the real owner. A match sold a gold coin? With the consumption level of this city, one gold coin is enough for a family of three to live comfortably for several months.
Wang Dao took a deep breath, and the situation was very obvious. In the past, the deceased were probably shocked or laughed at this amount. No normal person would use gold coins to buy a match. As for the consequences of not buying a match, think about the people who were tragic in Sain's mouth, don't you understand?
At this time, the white pigeon on her shoulder suddenly pecked Wang Daoyi's fat face. Wang Daoyi was not only not angry, but was relieved. This was the code they agreed with Mu Qiutang, which shows that she had learned the general situation through the visual sharing of Bai Ge, and would manipulate the demons to bring Sophie and Mo Hongyu here as soon as possible. What she had to do now is to delay time. Wang Daoyi smiled tensely and said, "Little sister, where are your parents? Are they worried that you will come out to sell matches alone?"
"Good gentlemen, please buy a match." The little girl took out three matches from her skirt's cloth pocket as she answered the question. Her eager expectation eyes seemed to be dimming a little.
"Of course the matches need..."
"Sir, buy a match." The little girl interrupted Wang Daoyi's words and stared at the three of them without moving. The timid expression on her face gradually disappeared, and her voice became cold and low.
Zhou Bingcheng and Sain looked at each other, dispersed silently, and surrounded the little girl with a triangular formation, but kept a certain distance.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, let's buy it." Wang Daoyi thought about the time, and responded kindly, and took out a pistol equipped with silencer accessories from the storage space in his hand. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang mercilessly pulled the trigger and fired four shots at the little girl. The bullets shot all the little girl's thin chest from close range. The girl opened her eyes wide and brought a few charming blood flowers and fell backwards.
Sain was shocked and took a few steps back to touch the sword on his back to calm down. He looked at the pistol in Wang Daoyi's hand in awe.
Zhou Bingcheng immediately made a decision to pull off the oil cloth wrapped in the long sword, drew out the sword and stepped forward a few steps to prepare for the final attack. After experiencing the tragic survival of the deserted island and the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, he and Wang Daoyi had the belief that he would rather kill three thousand wrongly than let one go. The little girl in front of him may not be a reversal fairy tale character, but a little guilt is a trivial matter than the benefits brought by stifling the risks in advance.
"Bingcheng, retreat quickly!"
Wang Dao was sharp-eyed and kept focusing on the little girl's body. He immediately saw one of the three matches in the little girl's hand burning into ashes without fire. The gunshot wound on her chest was healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. She couldn't help but change her face and shouted. When she wanted to shoot, the gun in her hand became extremely hot. She subconsciously threw away the pistol, and her palms were burned out of a lot of blisters.
The two accumulated a lot of experience and tacit understanding in the Three Kingdoms mission world. Wang Dao promptly reminded him, and Zhou Bingcheng immediately stopped and retreated cautiously, discarded the long sword in his hand, and took out the long-handled giant axe he was more familiar with from the storage space of the .
"It hurts... why do gentlemen refuse to buy my matches and hurt me? I'm so pitiful and helpless..." The little girl slowly stood up. Her wounds had healed, leaving only a few round holes stained with blood on her chest. She made a sad whisper. Her pretty little face had no expression on her face, and the two remaining matches in her little hand burned to ashes at the same time.
As the night approaches, the temperature around the little girl as the center rises rapidly. Four balls of high-temperature flames appear out of thin air and explode, turning into four two-meter-high flame human figures, surrounding the little girl like a loyal guard, dyeing the dim streets into a bright spot.
The three of them looked extremely ugly when they saw this scene. Sain was somewhat grateful while being in a heavy mood. If Sophie and his group had not come to this city, the news of the murderous demon could not be hidden by then. The defense officer offered a reward. He would definitely be the next step. He would deal with this thing alone? But let him go. Sain had a good vision. As soon as he met, he knew that even if he took out such a treasure, he would not be the opponent of the little girl in front of him.
"Oh, it seems you caught a big fish." Qingyue's pleasant and cold voice came from behind, and the Mo Hongyu walked out of the dim alley. The powerful and holy silver-white thoughts emanated from her delicate body to lock the little girl. Following a thin spotted cat at her feet, Mo Hongyu glanced at the surroundings and raised her eyebrows: "Has he not come yet? That's a bit troublesome, and is it a flame... It's such a difficult ability."
Needless to say, the destructive power of flames is very unfriendly to those who are used to close combat like her.
The little girl who was planning to order the flame man to take action was silent after Mo Hongyu appeared. She felt a trace of threat for a long time.
"Bingcheng, you go and put on the full-body enchantment armor first, and we will deal with it here first." Seeing the arrival of Mo Hongyu, Wang Daoyi breathed a sigh of relief. This powerful man who was second only to Sophie, turned to Sain and said to Sain: "Mr. Sain, I hope you can also show your true strength in the future."
Sain nodded cautiously. There are many people who are already powerful, and it is the best time to kill the demon. As an experienced warrior, of course, I will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The man took out the cross necklace worn on his neck from his clothes, and half-kneeled with a sword, closing his eyes and kissing the cross, as if praying to God. The cross in sterling silver began to emit a halo. After a few breaths, when Sain opened his eyes again, he calmly pulled the sword and stood up, giving everyone present a sense of sacredness.
Zhou Bingcheng did not dare to equip full-body armor on the battlefield. He had already run to the alley behind Mo Hongyu to change his clothes. Fortunately, this enchanted full-body armor can be designed to be worn simply by one person. However, Zhou Bingcheng had already made up his mind that after the battle, even if his daily life was inconvenient and too conspicuous, he would have to put the armor on his body every day.
If Mo Hongyu had not come in time, he would not have time to equip the armor.
It seemed that Sain's change stimulated the little girl. The moment Sain got up, two flamed men walked towards the Mohongyu with high temperature heat waves, while the other two rushed towards Wang Daoyi and Sain respectively.
The Mo Hongyu's eyes were half open, and he carefully wrapped his mind all over his body. He stepped out in one step. His figure instantly crossed several meters away. He stopped and stepped out his left foot, his figure was like a bow. He suddenly punched a straight punch to the lower abdomen of a flame man. The high-temperature flame that was enough to melt gold and iron could not hurt her. He shouted softly, and the mind energy in the fist concentrated and burst out in a ripples. The spreading ripples of the mind energy directly scattered the flame man's chest and abdomen into sparks. When another flame man raised his fist with the rolling heat wave, he was greeted by a blow of the whip leg full of mind energy.
Behind the chest and abdomen of the two flame men, Mo Hongyu raised her fair and slender hands, made her hand in the shape of a pistol, aimed at the heads of the two flame men, and her pink lips slightly opened: "Bang!"
A cute sound like a simulated ball popped out of the borehole was made, and the two thought-qi bullets emitted from their fingertips directly shocked the heads of the flames, making them completely turn into Mars and dissipate.
"It's very good, but unfortunately it's too clumsy."
Mo Hongyu shook his palm, felt the consumption of his own mind and said to herself, don’t look at the battle in just a few breaths to determine the outcome. In fact, it consumed a lot of mind and energy. If these flame people’s movements are more flexible, she would have a little headache.
Compared to the neat and red fish's cleanness and neatness that dispersed the flame man, Wang Dao became much more embarrassed.
The internal energy of this fat Taoist man could not cause too much damage to the life of elementals like the flame man. Even if he consumed a lot of true energy to attach to the sword and cut out a few scars, the flame man quickly recovered. After the roasted skin turned red and a lot of hair burned, Wang Daoyi no longer pursued damage, but instead carried the flame man around in circles with the light body footwork. It was hard to imagine that this fat man could be as light as a swallow.
Sain's performance was unexpectedly good. After praying to the cross, he seemed to have a great patience with the high-temperature flames. An ordinary long sword in his hand could cause great damage to the Flame Man. Under the You Dou offensive, the Flame Man was quickly cut off one arm by him, and the flames gathered between his waist and abdomen became thinner.
