Chapter 548 Lure the Enemy

…

The Yuanwang carried Wendy and Sylvie to the Whirlpool Sea, with Lightning and Maisie accompanying them on both sides of the gondola, waiting to pick them up at any time.

This time their mission was not to investigate the devil's camp, so naturally they didn't need to fly so high. As long as they bypassed the obstruction of the snow-capped mountains, Sylvie could look directly at the beholder entrenched on the top of the black stone tower through the rocky cliffs on the shore. .

According to Agatha, the beholder does not need to actually "see" the other party. As long as someone notices it, it can sense the other party's presence and locate its location at the same time. This kind of devil once gave the assault force of the Holy Blessing Army It has caused huge casualties - whether it is sneaking in invisible or falling from the sky, it is difficult to avoid its detection. You have to fight blindfolded to avoid disturbing it.

Of course, you don't have to look at it, but the beholder usually clings to the highest point of the camp, so it's hard not to notice it.

"How's it going? Did you see anything?" Lightning flew over and asked.

"You have to get closer, otherwise I won't be able to hold on for long," Sylvie rubbed her eyes. The magic eyes consume a lot of energy when penetrating obstacles, and the observation range will also be shortened. She has carefully focused her investigation sight into A straight line, but when the details of the sections in the cliff are revealed one by one, you can still feel dizzy.

"I know," Wendy called up a gust of wind, "Hold on."

The rocky beach became clearer little by little, and a thin red mist also appeared in front of everyone. Even if the sky was clear, the mist still pressed on the cliff, but the color was much lighter than the last time they saw it.

Sylvie looked intently again, and the soil in her field of vision was finally replaced by thick mist. Tower-like buildings were looming in the red mist, like an abandoned world.

She quickly found the thickest black stone spire.

Compared with the accidental collision last time, this time it was done deliberately - to alert the devils and lure them into pursuit. Sylvie doesn't want to be an explorer. Unlike Lightning, a young girl who is always full of energy, she just wants to live an ordinary life, but she has an unavoidable fate like the Battle of Divine Will. Even if she didn't like the twists and turns, she couldn't stay out of it. Just like she would agree to Tilly going to Border Town to observe whether Roland was controlled by a witch, when Roland announced the plan, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Previously she was for all the sisters of Sleeping Island, but this time it was for the Witch Union and His Majesty's entire kingdom.

Sylvie took a deep breath and raised her gaze.

In an instant, hundreds of eyeballs appeared in her field of vision - the black soft monster was still lying in the same place, as if it had never moved. Even its limbs were fused with the top of the tower, as if they had grown out of stone. It's like stretching out from inside. The densely packed eyes turned in different directions at the same time, and Sylvie could even see her own face reflected in the dark eyes!

This feeling made her hair stand on end, and the chill on her back instantly reached its peak.

"They're coming!" she yelled, interrupting her ability.

"let's go!"

"Ouch!" Maisie instantly transformed into a huge terrifying beast, rolled and landed firmly under the hanging basket. Sylvie jumped down and landed on her spacious back, while Lightning carried Wendy on his back and followed closely. Let’s fly towards the hidden forest together. Compared with the nervousness and panic last time, this time they came completely prepared - the empty hydrogen balloon will become a striking mark to guide the two parties to meet, and then according to the plan, Lightning will return here alone to lure the devil to continue deeper.

Taking advantage of this gap, Sylvie turned and looked back.

Five black spots appeared on the top of the cliff. This number was more than Agatha had predicted, but it did not exceed the warning red line.

However, under the observation of her magic eyes, she discovered something was wrong.

Among the five pursuers, only four drove the terrifying beasts, and two of the demons were obviously very different from the mad demons - they did not have burly bodies and thick arms, and they did not wear a patchwork of animal skins and iron armor. It was not a thing, but a colorful robe, which reflected a rainbow-like luster in the sun. For a moment, Sylvie couldn't tell what the robe was made of. There was a constant flow of blood underneath the robe, as if there were countless venomous snakes hidden inside.

Their heads are also slightly larger than those of the Mad Demons, but no obvious facial features can be seen. There seems to be a huge scar on their face, with red folds spreading out from the middle to the surroundings, which is as weird as it gets.

When she set her sights on the last devil, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I saw that the opponent was wearing thick and exquisite armor, and there was a two-handed giant sword on its back. It looked extremely heavy, but it flew out of thin air behind the four terrifying beasts like lightning, without slowing down at all.

Its face is also completely covered by a helmet, and it is not the kind of skull helmet worn by mad demons, but more like it is made of metal - like the armor that covers the whole body, the sides of the helmet are engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns, and the top protrudes Several sharp corners look like a miniature black stone tower at first glance. The part where the eyes should have been was flashing red, looking evil and ferocious.

What kind of devil is this?

Sylvie's heart was shocked. Agatha didn't mention how to deal with this situation. Should she still carry out the arrest as originally planned?

A strong uneasiness came over her.

The two landed in the depths of the forest one after the other. As soon as she climbed off Maisie's back, she saw a golden figure rising into the sky and flying towards the balloon at a speed several times faster than when it came.

It was too late to stop it now.

After hesitating for a while, Sylvie felt that she still had to tell Agatha this information. She patted Maisie's wings and said, "Take me to the ambush area!"

"What's wrong?" Wendy trotted over, "Shouldn't we join the First Army next?"

According to the drill situation, the abilities of the two are not very helpful in containing the devil. In order to reduce unnecessary risks, they should stay away from the main battlefield as soon as possible after completing the seduction mission and move closer to the First Army's defense line on their own.

"I saw a strange devil," Sylvie shook her head, "The enemy is not just the crazy devil, I have to inform everyone!"

"But the ambush area is huge!" Maisie lay down and said, "Even if you get there, you may not be able to find them right away."

"It doesn't matter, just take me there." She climbed back onto the back of the giant beast and turned to look at Wendy, "You go to the river alone first, I will be back soon."

…

The lightning increased its speed to the extreme, the wind roared past his ears, and the land beneath him quickly shrunk. The woods, rivers and beaches turned into blurred blocks of color and twisted lines in the blink of an eye.

She must rush back to the area where the hydrogen balloon is before the devil, and pretend to be running away in a panic to lure the enemy into pursuit.

When the vast and boundless sea occupied most of her field of vision, the Yuanwang finally appeared in front of her. At the same time, she also saw the figure of the incoming devil.
