Chapter 151 The Phoenix of the Night Sky
In the cold wind of the night, Xialan Lot was lying on top of the burning phoenix, and there was a fainted female rider beside her.
She has dark red and purple hair, and looks to be in her 20s. She is covered with a small part of close-fitting leather armor and wears a white shirt inside. She has a strong figure.
But at this moment, there were some red blood flowers on the original snow-white clothes, and a few arrows were inserted behind the back.
Seeing the female knight who saved her, Charanlot felt distressed for a while, and then took out a precious healing potion from her arms and prepared to take it for her.
Looking at the arrow still stuck in it, Xialan Luot hesitated for a while, then took out the dagger stuck in her boot and helped the woman.
"Hey—" The phoenix under him made a sharp cry, which made Charanrot sway uneasy.
"No, don't be afraid, I'm here to heal her." She quickly appeased the unusually intelligent bird.
There was another chirping, and the Sequence Six phoenix seemed to have calmed down a bit, which made Xia Lanrote heave a sigh of relief.
She concentrated again, picked up the dagger, aimed at the tail of the arrow behind it, slashed it down, and cut it off.
Seeing that the wound was not torn open, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully pulled out the front half of the arrow, a dark red and rich blood oozing out.
Hearing the woman's pained groans, Xialan Luot quickly wiped the wound with a handkerchief, then poured a light yellow ointment, which is specially used to treat trauma, and then took out two oral medicines and poured it into the woman. in the mouth.
Seeing that her complexion was slowly turning rosy, Xialan Luot breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately the woman lost too much blood and would not be able to wake up for a while.
After wrapping the wound for her, Sharanrot placed it flat on the Phoenix's back, and then gradually put down the stone in her heart.
What is her origin? I have never heard of a family that rides phoenixes.
Such magical beasts are no less than giant dragons, but they are rarer, and it is said that only a small number of them live in certain craters.
Although it was only a Sequence 6 and still underage, it was already extremely powerful, and the flying speed of ordinary monsters couldn't catch up at all, so they escaped.
Above thousands of meters in the sky, the stars have never been so clear, the flowing clouds below are slowly fluttering, and the earth shrouded in the night is hidden in the field of vision. city.
With the wind whistling in her ears, Charan Lotte looked at the distant scene below, estimating where she was going.
They went all the way to the north, which should be close to the middle of the empire.
I don't understand why this phoenix didn't fly south. Charan Lotte felt a little cold in the night wind. She bent down and immersed her body in the orange-red burning feathers. A soft and warm touch made her feel cold. submerged.
It's beautiful.
Everything in the pupils was illuminated by fiery red, like a warm dream, which made her indulge in it.
It is a pity that such a beautiful dream only lasted for a short time before it was broken.
The phoenix beneath him heard a high-pitched chirp, and then began to climb upwards.
Ciaranlot firmly grasped the leather reins and fixed herself and the aerial knight on the back of the phoenix.
There was a whistling sound from the back of the sky, and two giant white-beaked piercing falcons galloped close in the sky. Watching it fly straight towards the Phoenix, showing a strong aggressiveness.
The Air Piercing Falcon of the Kenshira Family! The name suddenly appeared in Charanlot's mind.
The Kenshila family is a viscount family in the eastern part of the southern border. The family's coat of arms is a giant bird with a white beak and brown feathers. Their family keeps a falcon-like magical beast all year round. Although the number is not large, it is known for its speed and fierceness.
These two sky-piercing falcons have the strength of Sequence 6. Although they are not very powerful, they are a huge threat in the face of the weak two.
Looking at the air-piercing falcon that was approaching behind, Xialan Luot felt flustered for a while. While grasping the reins, he fumbled for the weapon at the same time. Unfortunately, he only had a short dagger in his hand, and the air knight beside him was on the side. Has a gun blade.
It's a pity that he is not good at using gun-blade weapons. Looking at the dark-gold long spear, the tip of the gun blade is like a shrunken blade, with a slight arc.
Just give it a try, now is not the time to complain and hesitate.
Inserting the dagger back into the boot, Sharanrott held the spear, turned around, and stared at the two beasts that were getting closer.
The phoenix below seemed to have already sensed the chasing soldiers behind, and began to climb continuously in the sky, and pulled out a huge arc to turn, intending to get rid of the opponent.
It is a pity that its speed is difficult to increase to the extreme because it is carrying two people, and the two beasts at the back are also good at flying, so it is not easy to get rid of.
The sharp scream sounded again, and several colorless compressed air blades spurted from behind.
In the face of this attack, Sharanrot focused on dancing the spear blade, pouring magic power into it, splitting one of the qi blades, but the arm was cut by the other qi blade, and a long wound appeared on the skin, blood. The beads overflowed in the high-speed air flow and continuously drifted in the air.
Smelling the smell of blood, the two air-piercing falcons became even more excited, and they began to speed up and keep attacking.
Qi blades flew one after another, attacking the two people on the phoenix. Although most of them fell into the air, even a few of them were not something that the current Xia Lanluote could bear.
Large and small wounds began to appear on the body, and the clothes on the body became tattered.
It can't go on like this. She whispered to herself, knowing that sooner or later it would go on like this
will die in the air.
"Turn back and fight them directly!" She pulled the reins and reminded the phoenix under her, regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not.
"Hey—" The long bird chirping sounded, and this phoenix, a rare magical beast, understood her words.
The red feathers stretched in the air, and it began to climb upwards again, making high-speed maneuvers.
When it reached the extremely cold altitude of 10,000 meters, the phoenix flipped back, flapped its wings, and turned rapidly, leaving scorching waves in the air, and bursts of sparks drifting into it.
The two air-piercing falcons that were chasing from the rear were short of time and flew nearly 100 meters in the air before turning around.
And when they faced the phoenix again, they found that the other party no longer escaped, but charged directly towards them.
The feathers burning in the flames drove the twisting air waves, and the wake formed by the high temperature drew a long trajectory in the air. In the eyes of the two air-piercing falcons, the phoenix suddenly enlarged and approached.
They chirped sharply, opened their wings, and the pair of sharp white claws lifted under the wings, and at the same time, several air blades attacked the phoenix under the slap.
The dark golden spear tip flickered with the cold light of magic power, and Charan Lotte ignored the attacking air blades and stared at the air-piercing falcon in front of her, looking for a momentary opportunity.
His fingers were white, and he moved forward in the cold wind, aiming the tip of the gun blade at the figure in front of him. The fiery red phoenix and two sky-piercing falcons crossed in an instant, and a slender bloodstain splattered. Sky.
Charanlot is not sure to kill this Sequence 6 powerful beast, but at least, hurting the opponent's wings is victory.
After a piercing falcon staggered, its wings were pulled out of long slits, and blood beads were scattered in the airflow from time to time. Seeing its screaming appearance, it seemed to be very painful.
Finally, the speed of the air-piercing falcon slowed down, and it could no longer catch up with the fast-flying phoenix, and gradually fell behind.
At this time, there was only one piercing falcon chasing, and Charanlot estimated his remaining physical strength, and then let the phoenix climb again.
The two sides met again in the air, shattered feathers and flames fell from the sky, and the sharp claws of the eagle left a deep wound on Sharanrot's shoulder, but the attack of the gun blade that the other party avoided, leaving only a few Scratched feathers.
She really wasn't good at wielding this kind of weapon, gritted her teeth, and Xialan Luot resisted the pain and lay down on the Phoenix's back.
At this time, she was no longer able to fight, and the air-piercing falcon at the rear was still chasing.
The thoughts in his brain were spinning at a high speed, and Charan Lotte thought about possible ways.
"Come down, fall to the ground." She whispered beside the phoenix's ear.
After hearing such an order, the bird of fire began to descend, falling into the pitch-black earth like a flaming meteor.
The trail of flames cut through the sky, causing a burst of beast chirping, and some local residents looked at the falling meteor in surprise.
The wings swayed among the leaves of the forest, passing through countless branches and leaves, leaving traces of burning, and in a frenzy, they finally landed on the ground.
He dragged the Aerial Knight woman to the ground, and Charan Lotte leaned against the tree trunk with a pale face, her body undulating violently.
She took out the potion from her arms with trembling hands, and simply applied it to the wound. She was about to drink the rest of the healing potion, but accidentally slipped from her palm and hit the gravel on the ground.
The clear liquid spilled with the broken glass, and a fragrance floated in the damp forest, but soon disappeared into the rotten leaves and disappeared.
This.... Charan Lotte closed her eyes, feeling hopeless.
The sound of wings flapping again came from above, and the air-piercing falcon descended. One after another, the air blades cut through the branches and trunks, and shot them on the ground, with the sound of falling branches and leaves.
Just when Xia Lanrote was in despair, the phoenix took off again.
This time is different from the past, there are no two people who are burdens and restraints on it.
The fiery red flames boiled and burned, and every feather seemed to flutter, and the escaping heat wave, even if it was far apart, could still be felt by Xia Lanrote.
She blocked the dazzling firelight with her hand and watched the flying phoenix from the gap between her fingers.
It turned out that he has always been a drag. In fact, it has the strength to defeat the chasing soldiers. It is only because he is afraid of hurting himself and the rider that he cannot use it with all his strength.
In the night sky, the two demon beasts began to confront each other, the fire flow and the air blade danced, and there was a chirping sound from time to time, and the feathers and blood beads fell from time to time, and the two sides fought back and forth.
As the battle progressed, the phoenix gradually gained the upper hand, and the feathers of the air-piercing falcon were no longer as luscious as before.
After another stagger, the phoenix claws firmly grasped the opponent's wings, and bursts of scorching flames spread, burning the opponent.
Painful howls sounded in the mouth of the piercing falcon, and it began to struggle desperately, its sharp claws and white beaks attacked frantically, tearing off the flesh and feathers of the phoenix, and the air blades kept flashing, cutting off pieces of feathers.
Facing this dying opponent, the phoenix did not waver at all, still grabbed it desperately, and released the air-distorting flames on its body, drowning the opponent.
In this way, the sound of the air-piercing falcon became weaker and weaker, and the strength of the struggle became weaker and weaker, until finally, it fell and stopped moving.
There was a scorching smell in the air. Sitting under a tree trunk in the forest, Xialan Luot heard the sound of rustling footsteps in the distance.
She couldn't be sure for what purpose the other party came here, but at present
The environment she was in in the empire was definitely not good. With the mentality that she might be an enemy, she struggled to support the woman and walked into the depths of the forest step by step, escaping this striking place as soon as possible.
"Search for me, don't let them escape!" A group of soldiers with torches walked through the forest, looking for possible figures.
Judging from the uniforms they wear, these people are legionnaires directly belonging to the royal family. The commanders have dark red cloaks and epaulets sewn with gold thread, which are very majestic.
After hearing the words of those chasing soldiers, Charanlot ran faster.
After a rush of running, she felt that her limbs began to weaken, all kinds of soreness filled her nerves, and her calves were teetering between rotten leaves and grass blades.
"Huhuhu..." The wound that had not healed before split open, traces of blood spilled out, her face began to turn pale, and she had to fall to her knees and sit on the ground.
There is no escape now.
Charan Lotte raised her head and looked at the phoenix that flew down from time to time and blocked the pursuers in the sky, with sadness and despair in her heart.
Even with it delaying time, he couldn't run away.
It's always like this, Charanlot, you are a burden, you have implicated so many people, and how many innocent people died because of you. You who should have died.
With both hands on the ground, silent tears streamed down his cheeks, drop by drop into the cold and wet ground.
The nails were full of dirt and rotten leaves, and Xialanrot gradually clenched her fists and buried her forehead into the wet and cold ground. It seemed that only in this way could she wake up and relieve some of the sadness and discomfort in her heart.
Another footstep came. She was shocked when she heard it, and was about to stand up, but her legs were already sore and numb, and she could only fall to the ground.
The voice jumped over various rocks and roots and quickly approached her back, and it was too late for her to pull out the dagger.
"Ah—" Facing the sudden contact, the girl screamed, but to her surprise, the other party didn't kill her, but lifted her up.
"Is there a companion?" Seeing the female knight lying in front of Charanlot, the voice was a little hurried.
He pulled the pink-haired girl up and held the female knight on his shoulders.
"Follow me!" After he finished speaking, he grabbed Charanlot and asked the other party to follow behind him.
"But..." Xia Lanluot wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to explain it. She could only glance at the phoenix in the night sky, followed step by step, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest. place.
A few minutes later, a group of soldiers searched here with torches.
"There are traces of their stay here!"
"Can you see where they're going?"
"It's very difficult, the ground is full of rotten leaves, footprints are not easy to leave, and the sky is dark..."
"Look! Keep looking. You must not let go of these people who deceive the common people. They escaped from the Purple Shirt Province. If they can't be encircled and suppressed, they will become a group of scourges."
"Further south, there are the southern provinces of the empire. The situation there is even worse. If they enter there to develop, it will be like throwing fish into the sea, causing rebellion."
"We are the emperor's eyes and swords, and we will never allow these existences that go against the emperor's will. It's a dream to try to reproduce everything in Crancia!"
"This is the glorious and splendid Crimson Empire!"
"Yes!" Several black-clothed investigators led the soldiers and scattered into the night again.
