Chapter 1679 The Scarlet Beginning

Paradia followed Kieran's gaze and looked in the direction they came from.

A figure appeared there out of nowhere!

but!

Definitely not a human being!

The tattered cloak covered his body, and the gaps and holes could not cover his body at all, exposing the opponent's scarlet bones. Under the hood, the soul fire in his eyes kept beating, and he was holding something like a rosary in his hand. As he walked, As the rosary turned, the skeleton made a weird laugh.

The monster in the sky also discovered the skeleton. As if it was frightened, it suddenly flew high into the sky and flew towards the distance without looking back.

However, just when this monster was about to leave Palladia's sight——

boom!

Flesh and blood shattered.

Without any warning, under Palladia's gaze, the monster in the air turned directly into a skeleton and fell from mid-air.

It didn't fall to the ground.

Instead, along with the shattered flesh and blood, the skeleton flew straight towards the skeleton.

Quack, quack.

It let out a strange laugh again, and the skeleton opened its mouth, sucking the flesh and blood into its body as if sucking. The huge bones turned into fragments of bones, which penetrated through the gaps in the tattered cloak and stuck to the skeleton one after another. body, but the skeleton's body shape has not changed at all, but the scarlet color has become more and more intense, and a faint fishy smell permeates the surroundings.

Moreover, the rosary beads in the skeleton's hands were spinning faster and faster.

Looking at the rotating rosary beads, Palladia felt dizzy and nauseous.

Not only the speed, but also the instinctive disgust and fear of the body.

It's like seeing a scarlet skull in front of you.

It was a kind of crushing of the creatures at the top of the food chain facing the creatures at the bottom.

If Kieran hadn't pulled him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

What kind of monster is this? !

Palladia was horrified.

He had never seen such a monster.

In fact, I have never even heard of it.

There was absolutely no information about the 'Winter Night War' that he had worked hard to collect.

But what makes Palladia even more worried and fearful has just begun.

All he saw was the scarlet skull, suddenly raising his hand.

It was still bright a moment ago, but the sky to the west of the sun suddenly... turned dark!

A crescent moon replaces the sun!

The moonlight fell, and the bright moonlight bathed the entire city.

Suddenly, the quiet city seemed to wake up.

Roar.

Roar.

Drinking and cursing.

Wails.

The sound of fighting.

One after another.

The scarlet skeleton undoubtedly liked this sound very much. It opened its arms and made a hug gesture, then turned around and slowly returned to the way it came.

Palladia tried his best to keep his eyes away from the scarlet skeleton.

He didn't know if his gaze would be noticed by the other party.

But he knew that the other party was far more terrifying than he imagined.

Another day!

This kind of thing is rare even in legends.

And each existence that can possess such abilities has its own name.

Of course, there is also a general term.

People call them: God!

Is that guy a god?

Or is it the skeleton of a god after his death?

Why does the other party appear here?

One question after another appeared in Palladia's heart.

But none of the questions have answers.

Suddenly, Palladia's already ugly face changed again.

He thought of other herders.

Facing that scarlet skull...

No!

There is no need for the scarlet skeleton. Those monsters that lack the restraint of sunlight are enough to cause other people to suffer disaster.

Palladia certainly doesn't want anything to happen to all the herders.

After all, there were a few guys with whom he had a good relationship.

but……

There was nothing he could do.

He had no confidence at all and returned to the monster-infested city to rescue those people.

As for speaking to Qin Ran next to him?

Let’s not talk about the identities of both parties at the moment.

Even in a normal and equal situation, Palladia doesn't know what price to pay to let others "sell their lives" for him.

And risk your life to get yourself involved?

Palladia can't do this yet.

Sorry.

Saying something silently in his heart, Paradia prepared to follow Kieran and stay away from the city at this moment.

At the same time, deep down in his heart, Paradia admired Kieran even more.

If it weren't for the person in front of him, he might have fallen into that desperate situation at this time.

But just when Palladia's heart was filled with joy, the herder from the southern gem area was shocked to see Qin Ran walking towards the city.

"W-what do you want to do?"

Qin Ran's sudden behavior made Palladia's voice stutter.

"go back."

Kieran said calmly.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Do you know what will happen if you go back now?"

"It's full of monsters!"

"You'll be dead if you go back!"

Palladia's voice rose unconsciously.

Even in the covenant state of the [Sioudi Stone], Paradia was still very persistent when facing death.

He doesn't want to die yet.

Otherwise, he would not have signed the [Sioudi Stone] with Kieran after struggling for a while.

All he wanted was to survive.

Even if it is just lingering, it is still good.

But now, Qin Ran is going to die!

This is unacceptable to him!

"I dont go!"

"I want to stay here!"

"It's safe here!"

Palladia insisted.

"Only when there is chaos will we have a chance!"

"The monsters are all out, their lairs..."

"No guards!"

Qin Ran said and already walked out.

Palladia was stunned.

The monster's lair is unguarded!

The fear is still there.

But there was a burning sensation in my heart!

Moreover, I can’t hold it back no matter what!

Looking at Qin Ran who turned around and walked away, the burning heat finally dispelled the fear.

Palladia not only dispelled the feeling of paralysis just now at this moment, but also his whole body was filled with vitality.

He quickly chased after her.

"Wait for me!"

"We have a covenant, do you remember?"

"Of course I want to follow you!"

…

With his fiery red hair, Ponder stood out among the herders.

Of course, it's not just because of the fiery red hair.

And because of strength!

In the entire temporary camp before, except for Lucan, Ponard was recognized as the strongest.

In fact, Ponnard thinks he is the strongest!

Because he has more brains than Lucan.

Northlanders are known to be notoriously reckless.

The Gulf region is known for its shrewdness.

Whether it is business or economy, the Gulf is far beyond the Northland and even other regions, which makes the people of the Gulf very proud.

So is Ponnard.

In head-to-head strength, he admitted that he was no match for Lucan.

However, the 'Winter Night War' is not just about strength!

You still need brains!

as well as……

talent!

Bonnard trusted his own mind.

And talent?

Ponnard is extremely confident!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have put in all the effort and paid a huge price to become one of the representatives of the Bay Area in this 'Winter Night War'.

Ponnard has been interested in the special items scattered throughout the city for a long time.

Especially when his talent told him that there was a very valuable treasure in that tall building as soon as he entered this world, Ponard rushed over excitedly.

However, he did not act immediately, but observed everything silently.

After discovering that Lucan was helpless against the monster in the office building despite head-on confrontation, Ponnard immediately changed his target.

Although treasures are good, lives are more important.

His talent guided him to look at those hidden and remote places.

Deep in several alleys.

After easily disposing of several skinned monsters, Ponard gained a little.

The few potions in his arms are of extremely high value if left outside.

What's more important is that it's easy to come by and doesn't require much fuss.

Unlike outside, although he can 'perceive' a lot of treasures, those treasures are either extremely dangerous in themselves, or they will drag him into a vortex of trouble if he reaches out at will.

As for money?

Ponnard, who was born into an extremely wealthy family, had no regard for money at all.

He doesn't think money is everything.

He wants to pursue something of higher value.

That's why he became a herder.

Compared to these, his original life?

No worries about food and clothing, fine clothes and fine food, beautiful women in gorgeous clothes?

Sorry, that's not what he wanted.

What he really wants is life now!

This process and result of harvesting treasures by yourself is what he has been pursuing!

The harvest after harvest made Ponard very happy in his heart, and he began to focus on places that attracted him more -

bank.

Or, to be more precise, a long-abandoned bank in a part of the city.

The attraction coming from there was only a little less than that coming from the tall buildings.

However, what really attracts Ponder is... the underground!

The fight with those skinned monsters just now was enough for Ponnard to understand what the weaknesses of these monsters were.

There is nothing wrong with being afraid of the sun and hiding underground.

By the way, it makes sense to take the collected treasures underground.

And him?

Definitely not going!

Looking up at the sun that had just turned to the west, Ponard made up his mind.

After finding the treasure hidden in this abandoned bank, he left the city temporarily.

At least we have to wait until dawn again, or after the alien group or the weird group enters, they are looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

Ponnard clenched the dagger and magic gun in his hands and stepped into the bank.

No searching required.

Following the breath coming from his perception, Ponnard walked directly into the underground vault of the bank.

The security system here has long been damaged.

The alloy door opened directly.

The journey was smooth, and after daring to lose several skinned monsters, Ponard came to the underground.

A silver-colored box appeared in his field of vision.

However, Ponnard did not rush over immediately. He took out a special grenade from his belt.

It's like a magic gun in your hand.

All are branches of ancient alchemy.

Ding!

Pull the safety catch and throw the grenade.

boom!

Amid the roar and explosion, a dazzling brilliance flashed out.

Like the sun.

A huge skinned monster hidden in the shadows on one side of the silver treasure chest exploded without even making a sound.

Looking at the exploded corpse, Ponard smiled.

Just like his talent allows him to sense these treasures.

These treasures also have a fatal attraction for these monsters.

The better the treasure, the more powerful monsters will naturally be entangled next to it.

Ponnard is certain that the reason why these monsters are entrenched here is to open these boxes and devour the treasures inside.

Unfortunately, their side has already made complete preparations.

Except for the initial bait.

Most of the treasures are protected.

Those boxes are not just for holding things.

The box created by a collection of humans, aliens, and weird powers can not only be cracked by some monsters.

Quickly stepping forward, Ponnard opened the box.

Looking at a ring that appeared inside, Ponard couldn't help but smile.

Just by seeing the runes on the ring, Ponnard was able to deduce that it was an extremely high-quality, very rare offensive ring.

As for what it is, you need to slowly figure it out and test it later.

His mysterious knowledge was not enough for him to figure out what it was at a glance.

Without putting the ring on in a hurry, Ponnard put the silver box and the silver box into his backpack, then turned around and walked out.

He was ready to leave this city full of treasures temporarily.

However, when Ponnard stepped onto the ground, his expression changed suddenly.

it's dark!

He looked at the dark sky outside in disbelief, then subconsciously took out a potion to dispel the illusion and drank it straight down.

A cool feeling spreads across the forehead.

However, the dark sky did not change.

Not an illusion!

But it was still early afternoon, how could this happen? !

Ponnard's eyes widened.

The sudden accident let him know that something was wrong.

Listening to the roar in his ears, Ponnad retreated underground without hesitation.

There is a bank vault safe there.

The alloy door is enough for him to resist most dangers.

Moreover, he just checked when he entered here and found that the vault had a two-way lock from an earlier period.

To open from the outside, three keys and a password are required.

To open it from the inside, you only need to lift the handle.

The plan is good.

Accidents happen.

boom!

Just when Ponnad had just retreated into the steps of the underground vault, a tall, burly figure fell behind him.

"Lucan?!"

Looking at the man who fell to the ground, Ponard exclaimed, and when he saw a ten-meter-tall monster with a bull's head and a human body outside, his face was instantly ugly.

To make matters worse, the monster saw him too!

Moreover, he showed a ferocious smile.

A series of fangs spilled out of the bull's mouth.

Without hesitation, Ponnard grabbed Lucan's arm and ran down.

He really wanted to leave this dazed bastard behind.

But he was not sure how to deal with the monster alone.

An alloy safe may not be able to stop the opponent.

Even if the height of this passage is high, it should be able to limit the opponent.

After throwing Lucan into the vault, Ponard turned and closed the door.

Just when the safe door was about to close, Ponnard could clearly see that the ten-meter-tall minotaur had shrunk.

Shrunk down to a height that allows him to walk normally through the aisles.

What a monster is this!

Pannard was horrified and closed the safe door faster.

boom!

The safe door was closed tightly.

Ponnard breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucan on the ground also shook his head, gradually getting rid of dizziness.

"You guy almost killed me...ahhh!"

The word 'I' in Ponnard's mouth did not come out, but turned into a series of screams.

At some point, cracks appeared on the solid vault floor.

Extremely fast!

Almost instantly, the entire ground collapsed.

Ponard and Lucan fell into it before they had time to react.
