The Possessor of gods Chapter 10

Missing

After Mary climbed out of the wall, she used branches with leaves to clear away the footprints and ran to the woods not far away.

The leader asked his subordinates to search for traces around them, but found nothing. I had to think for a moment and let the two people go back to the cemetery to search to prevent Mary from using reverse thinking, and secretly hid back in the cemetery. Then he took one person to the woods to check, and the remaining two people went to John Street farther away to check.

Mary breathed softly, squatted on the branch, and waited patiently. She was holding on to the tree with one hand, and holding the knife she had taken from the man in the other. The whole person is hidden in the shadow of the thick canopy, like a leopard lying in wait in the dark, waiting to give its prey a fatal blow.

Mary did not choose to run away and distance herself. Because the area near the cemetery is too deserted and uninhabited, it is easy to be discovered without running very far. Discovered on the road, she has limited physical strength and cannot defeat those strong men.

In addition, without knowing her direction, they will definitely divide their forces. With the number of people reduced, she looked for a suitable place to ambush in advance. Those people probably didn't expect that she would dare to fight back alone, and she might not be able to fight if caught by surprise.

The leader and a subordinate went into the woods and searched around. Mary heard the noise and lowered her body even further.

She carefully observed the two people who were gradually approaching. They were wearing brown casual clothes and had strong builds. One person held a dagger and a stick in his hand, and carefully used the stick to open the grass to check. The other person was looking warily, holding the hilt of his sword.

Mary suspected that they had been trying to assassinate her, so most of them carried daggers. But this man is holding a long sword. Is he the leader of this operation? This is a bit troublesome. When fighting with long weapons, she was at a disadvantage with only a small knife.

The distance between them and Mary is constantly shortening. The man holding the sword carefully observed his surroundings, even the tree crowns. He did not ignore the forgettable space above his head.

He was a very cautious man, and even though it might just be a fluke, considering that Mary took out a companion who was ready to strike, he assigned two people to each group. In order not to let go of any possibility, he also sent people to search the seemingly obvious cemetery. Now, he will naturally not let go of any corner.

[We can't let them get closer, they are about to be discovered by that man. Then the favorable terrain here will not be able to play its maximum role! 】Mary's palms were covered with sweat. She gritted her teeth, put aside the coat she had prepared, and threw the jacket with many stones inside towards the two of them.

The two people below saw a dark shadow running across the right front, followed by a sound in the grass, and they couldn't help but look over there.

【It's now! 】

The man holding the long sword felt something was wrong. He looked stern and immediately rolled on the spot, shouting: "Get away!"

Before the man holding the dagger could react, he was kicked by Mary who swung down from the branch, and his head and body were hit straight to the ground.

Mary wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him, and used a dagger to kill the unconscious man on the ground. But another person had already stabbed over, and the snow-white sword light passed by her side, taking away a section of her hair.

【What a sharp sword! 】

Mary had no choice but to give up decisively, throw a handful of dust at the attacking man, and quickly hide in the forest. She hoped that the leader would stay to protect the men on the ground, although she thought it was unlikely that this would happen.

Sure enough, the man blocked the flying ashes and followed him without even looking at the man lying on the ground.

The man was moving very fast, and the distance between Mary and him kept shrinking. Mary struggled to keep her distance, so she didn't notice the branches stretching out in front of her several times, and there were traces of blood on her face.

The trees in front of her became denser and denser. Mary stopped suddenly, leaned over and stretched out her legs. The man was caught off guard and stumbled hard. He held onto the trees next to him before he could steady himself. And Mary had already rushed in front of him, and the dagger quickly pierced the man's chest like a meteor.

The man immediately raised his sword to block it, but found that the sword was stuck in the dense tree trunks and branches.

[It turns out that she deliberately ran deep into the woods, not out of sheer panic, but to change the venue and turn the disadvantages of her body and weapons into advantages! 】The man immediately reaLydiaed the intention of Mary's move.

He gritted his teeth and could only give up the hand holding the sword, and hurriedly used his other hand to stop the dagger, but was cut with a bone-deep wound on his arm. Blood was flowing down his muscular forearm, but he couldn't care about it. Because at this moment he was facing a very difficult person who might even take away his life.

When the blow failed, Mary did not regret or pause, but calmly slipped into the gap between the tree trunk and the bush again, avoiding the backhand blow from the man who drew his long sword.

The trees hindered the man's attacks again and again, leaving him hampered by the small space for movement, unable to move his body or weapons. On the contrary, Mary succeeded in leaving scars one after another on his body. One waxes and wanes, and the gap between each other's strengths and weaknesses gradually decreases.

Although those wounds were not fatal, as time passed, the constant blood loss made the man's eyes blurred and his consciousness became unclear. Mary seized the opportunity and plunged the dagger into his neck. For a moment, the bright red color covered her eyes, and the strong fishy smell was only detected by her olfactory organs at this moment.

The man made a "ho ho" sound and grabbed the air with his hands in vain for a while before falling down.

Mary stood blankly for a while, a wave of nausea rose up in her throat, and she vomited while holding on to the tree.

She leaned against the tree, looked at her sticky palms, and her mind was in confusion: [Although I expected that the church might still leave people to chase and kill, now it is indeed to protect myself and successfully counterattack. But sure enough, I'm still not used to it. vomit...】

Mary waited for her tumbling stomach to calm down a little, and then she immediately moved out. She couldn't stay too long. The man before had probably run away to call for help. By the time the remaining people gathered to look for her, she would have no chance to escape.

...

When Sydney arrived, the people in the room could no longer even cry out in pain. They could only moan/moan silently, with veins popping out on their foreheads and their faces turning red.

She didn't have time to say anything more. First, everyone collected some blood and kept it, and then asked Lucisel to feed the newly made "life" potion to the people who had taken the blood. The potion slowly took effect, and the face of the person lying on the ground returned to calm. Samantha observed the whole process carefully and suddenly asked: "Did everyone lying on the ground do anything together? Before the first headache."

"What you can do is just the things you do every day." A man said angrily, still irritated because of the pain he had just suffered.

Anna, who had come back, helped her father up. When she heard this, she quickly asked: "Sydney, do you think dad and the others have gotten into something bad?"

"It's very possible." Sydney said seriously: "So I hope the uncles can think carefully. The potion is no longer enough for the next time. Before, everyone asked me for potions separately, and adding the potion can indeed To solve most of the problems, I didn’t ask any more questions. But in this situation, we can no longer remain confused. "

When everyone heard this, they all started thinking. After all, they can't just follow their emotions when it comes to their own lives. I can only endure the residual discomfort and recall what happened before.

Anna's father suddenly pressed his forehead and said, "We seemed to have gone to the Tulip Manor that day."

"Yes!" A young man immediately answered: "I still remember that I went to the bushes in the nearby forest and picked some blueberries. They were very sweet. Everyone ate a lot." As he said that, his face suddenly became ugly: "No. meeting..."

He didn't finish what he said, but everyone present understood what he didn't say, and their expressions suddenly became subtle.

"It's not necessarily because of those blueberries, and everyone has been picking fruits outside to eat since they were children. Your behavior is also normal." Lucisel comforted.

The young man was so ashamed that he even wanted to kill himself on the spot to atone for his sins.

"Yes, you didn't do it on purpose. Most people wouldn't think of it, and they wouldn't see anything wrong with those fruits." When Samantha said this, she was almost sure that it was the blueberries, because coincidentally, the tulips The forest next to it was where she and Lucisel discovered the black forest trapper--Avery Forest.

I saw that the young man's head was still buried low, looking like he was tortured by guilt. Thinking about how he would toss and turn over anything and couldn't fall asleep, he found out that he didn't take good care of Jenny's chickens, and two of them died. He had two big black circles under his eyes, and he looked like he was about to die suddenly at any time after not closing his eyes for several days. Sydney just wanted to comfort him again.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lucisel say: "Even if it is indeed your fault, it will not help to suffer here. You have to remedy it as soon as possible, right?"

Lucisel's clear blue eyes looked at Sydney.

"Yes!" Sydney immediately received the signal, "So instead of feeling uncomfortable here, you should help us lead the way to the place where you found the blueberries to see if there are any clues left. After all, you are the only one who knows where it is. "

The young man immediately regained his energy and jumped up. Regardless of the faint stinging pain coming from his head, he quickly said: "I will take you there now!"

Seeing the expectation, pleading and regret in his eyes, Samantha probably couldn't sit down anymore, so she agreed to him. The few people left as soon as they could, and immediately set off to the vicinity of Avery Forest.

...

"Where did Alyssa go?" Drucker asked Ellin.

"Didn't she say she was looking for Ruila? It's been a long time now, and they haven't come back yet?" Erin also reaLydiaed something was wrong.

"Oh no, their identities won't be discovered." Drucker immediately put on his coat, "We have to find them."

"Okay, you go take a look on the street, and I'll go find someone I know to help."

Drucker nodded, and the two immediately left the hotel and split up.
