Mercenaries and Adventurers

The two priests of the Church of the Sun were in hot pursuit, following the wails of the two baron family soldiers who had been captured by the parasitic monster, and kept wandering around in the tall pile of logs that blocked the view.

Soon, the two priests discovered that the parasitic monster was playing tricks on them both.

Perhaps it was stalling for time, or he thought he was no match for the two of them, so the parasitic monster had always avoided direct combat with them. But even so, the other side still did not let go of the two soldiers who were caught carelessly.

"Be careful, there must be something weird about that monster!" said a priest of the Sun God Church.

The other person nodded in support of his companion's opinion.

But it's not okay to just go around in circles with the monster like this. After all, when the priests separated, they each chased a parasitic monster. Although no one said it clearly, it was obvious that these church priests in Yemei Town would take this situation at this time. The battle was treated as a secret competition between churches.

Whoever can be the first group to eradicate the chasing parasitic monsters and return to the big house of flesh and blood will naturally be the strongest church present. Although this cannot really represent the strength of the gods behind the priests and the size of the church, in the town of Yemei In a small, remote place, it is natural to distinguish the real superiors and inferiors.

Considering the ability of the priests of the Church of the Dead to easily deal with parasitic monsters on the way to the lumber camp, the number one spot among the churches has been determined. The question now is, among the remaining three churches, which one is the least powerful?

The two priests of the Church of the Sun God did not want to be the worst group. Although the Sun God they believed in caused a big incident in the east last year, even their church in a remote area had to close its doors to avoid the limelight. But to be honest, the two priests of the Sun God Church consider themselves no weaker than the people of other churches, and the religious people have not wavered in their faith in the past year.

The two of them didn't want to be the worst team in the competition.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two priests separated directly and walked around a pile of logs in front of them, one on the left and the other on the right. Instead of continuing to chase after the monster, they split up to intercept the opponent.

This trick was very effective. When the parasitic monster dragging the two soldiers once again turned around in the complex terrain of log piles to avoid a priest who was chasing behind it, it was suddenly attacked by another priest who rushed out from the front. The stick hit the torso.

The two priests of the Sun God had long seen through that the body of the parasitic monster was hidden in the human torso. Therefore, the sneak attack did not hit the head of the monster's parasitic human body. Instead, the head of the staff was filled with surging white light. Hit the monster **** the chest.

boom!

The heavy, charged blow was accompanied by a violent explosion of white light, which knocked the parasitic monster to the ground. The two soldiers who were caught and dragged to the ground were also left wailing and left on the spot.

"Don't block the road!" the attacking priest shouted, and the two soldiers on the ground immediately rolled away to both sides to get out of the way for the priest to directly attack the parasitic monster.

But this delay still allowed the parasitic monster that was attacked to recover. Regardless of the power of the sun **** that continued to emit white light and high heat close to its body, its hands and feet were used simultaneously, and even the vine roots extending out of its trunk seemed to be extra. His hands and feet assisted him in moving, and he fled towards the uninhabited other side in a panic.

But as soon as it ran a few steps, the priest of the Church of the Sun God who had been chasing it suddenly appeared from the corner of the pile of logs in front of it. The priest sang a word of praise to the god, and then leaned back sideways and pulled his whole body. He formed a charging bow, held the middle part of the metal priest's staff high with his right arm, used the entire heavy metal staff as a long throwing spear, charged up the power, and then threw it out!

"Look directly into the eyes of my god!"

The priest shouted like this. Although his set of actions were very non-standard in the eyes of professional warriors, the heavy metal staff could not be thrown to the parasitic monster because the priest's arms were not strong enough. People laughed their **** off.

But the magic of prayer is here. The divine power generated by religious believers and transformed by gods has all kinds of incredible magical powers in it.

The metal priest's long staff that was taken off his hand was enveloped in a ball of elongated white divine power, flying straight like a dazzling meteor, projecting straight forward with an unstoppable and powerful momentum.

The parasitic monster really screamed, as if it knew that it could not block such a powerful attack, so its whole body froze in place, waving its arms randomly, and the various vine roots extending from its body, hoping that it was just I hope my 'weak' roots can really block the incoming divine attack.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down. The priest of the Sun God Church who threw the strongest blow was full of confidence. He believed that his blow would definitely kill this parasitic monster and give the Sun God Church a secret attack this time. In the competition, get a better result.

The eyes of another Sun God priest were full of envy. He was slightly weaker than his companions. Although he worked very hard, he was not as good as his companions in terms of communicating with the gods or recruiting believers in the Sun God. He could also release this blow, but firstly, releasing such divine power made him feel distressed. Secondly, he could not so easily release such a lethal prayer spell while chasing.

Such a powerful prayer magic almost looks like a battlefield magic.

As for the parasitic monster in desperate situation, in the abdomen of its parasitic human torso, the core human face is full of panic and despair at this moment. It has only been here for half a month since it came from the kingdom of gods, and it is trying to save itself. The gods did something great and completely destroyed the human society here. But who would have thought that today they would encounter such a group of powerful local soldiers and the hateful human church priests.

At this moment, the parasitic monster seemed to give up when it thought of this. It silently recited the flesh demon's true honorific name, and the vine roots it waved relaxed. It knew it was finished, but it only hoped that the other parasitic companions surrounding it would , can completely bury these local human forces.

The two elite soldiers who fell to the ground and rolled to make way were full of panic and confusion at the moment. Although they were both in chaos, their eyes still saw the powerful magic projected by the priest not far away, which made them a little at a loss.

I originally thought that when I came out this time, my ten elite soldiers, led by the heir to the Baron with the strength of a knight, would be the core force of the logging convoy. But who would have thought that these priests are the really powerful people.

Thinking of this, they all became confused and couldn't understand, who has always had the biggest fist in the town? Who has the final say all along? Baron Sasse? Or these various churches in the town?

By the way, did we cause trouble when we switched to the church?

-

But everything, whether it was the confidence of the priests, the despair of the monsters, or the confusion of the soldiers, everything changed completely in the next moment.

All that is said is that the long metal staff that bloomed with white light like a meteor clinging to the ground, after breaking away from the priest's right hand, rushed straight forward. The speed was very fast and the power was incomparable. The white light that bloomed was not only dazzling, but also filled with people as it got closer. With the long staff of divine power, the white light becomes hotter.

You know, the sun not only represents light, but also represents the most supreme heat in the world.

Whatever the world knows as the sun-drenched earth gradually heats up in the sun. The magicians who have studied the stars above them know that the real sun has a huge amount of heat that is far beyond what humans can imagine. They all allow the so-called human sun **** to bring light and heat to his ministry and divine power.

Needless to say, as long as the priest's long metal staff hits the monster, even if it only hits the limbs and trunk, the high heat contained in the white light divine power will instantly burn the parasitic monster into a ball of hot ashes.

As long as it hits.

The projected long metal staff, with white light and high heat, moved straight forward, drawing a straight flight path in the air, neither high nor low, neither left nor right. What was the trajectory when it was released? From then on, it reached the long staff. Even if its divine power is exhausted, it will always maintain its trajectory.

But it is a pity that the priests of the church are not professional soldiers and warriors. Although they usually practice a little martial arts at the training ground in the church, for the skill of throwing spears, you either have to be very talented or you have to go through a long process. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of practical experience.

In this way, in a real battle, we can accurately follow the pitcher's intention and accurately hit the target targeted by the pitcher.

Rather than like now, in the eyes and facial expressions of the two priests who are gradually losing control, a few meters away from the parasitic monster that gave up its counterattack, passing over the top of the empty log pile, with a straight line The white light belt flies farther and farther, flies farther and farther...

The faces of the two priests gradually became distorted. The priest who threw the metal staff subconsciously dodged the other's stern scrutiny, and said to himself with trembling lips: "Well, there is something wrong with the staff, but it's not a big problem. This time, let’s try it with an axe.”

As he spoke, he took out a one-handed logging ax that he carried with him while muttering to himself, and held it tightly in his hand.

The other priest rolled his eyes, cursed fiercely, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at the two elite soldiers of the baron family behind him, and suppressed the expressions of the two soldiers that were about to burst into laughter.

The two soldiers simply closed their eyes, kicked their legs, and shouted: "Oh, we just passed out! What happened here? Master Priest, did you save us two from the monster? Ah! , thank you very much!"

I kept going on and on, just hoping that the priests of the Church of the Sun God would forget about these two guys in the future.

As for the parasitic monster, long after the thrown metal staff missed, it let out a weird laugh from the human torso, then jumped on the spot, jumped onto the pile of logs, and fled in a direction away from the lumberyard.

"Should we chase or not?"

The priest holding a one-handed wood-cutting ax asked his companion awkwardly. After the blow just now, his divine power was much weaker, and his attitude towards his companions changed a little.

Perhaps, the last thing he wanted to see at this time was his companions in the church.

"Phew, nonsense! Chase! Catch up and defeat that monster! This time, leave it to me..."

The priest of the Church of the Sun, holding a staff with white light emitting from his hair, sighed and finally said.

After saying that, the two of them ignored the two soldiers who were still chattering on the ground and quickly chased the parasitic monster.

-

The parasitic monster itself had a few extra vine roots that could be used as legs and feet. In addition, it got rid of the two human soldiers it had captured before, so it fled very fast. If it weren't for the two priests of the Church of the Sun God, they still chose to intercept them separately. , this guy probably ran away long ago.

But the two sides chased each other, and I ran away, and they still chased me from the wooden house in the lumber camp covered in flesh and blood all the way to the edge of the entrance of the lumber camp.

This is the place chosen by the logging convoy to collect firewood. Not only is the entire convoy parked at this time, but dozens of loggers brought by Kiel are gathering together at this time, shouting chaotic chants, and enthusiastically Working.

"Oops! There are some incompetent coachmen and lumberjacks in front of us. If this strengthened parasitic monster rushes in, it will cause a lot of casualties!"

"what to do?"

Two priests from the Church of the Sun God quickly chased after them. They were about to catch up with the monster, but they didn't expect that they would actually catch up here.

If the parasitic monsters cause a large number of casualties here in the convoy, not to mention the competition between the various churches, they will definitely lose. Even the local Sun God Church will be seriously affected. After the bad news comes out, they want to carry out missionary activities again. , it must be very difficult.

Not to mention that the competition for believers between churches is full of secret tactics. It does not take much imagination to imagine that other local churches will definitely publicize the incompetence of these two Sun God Church priests in the future.

The Sun God Priest, who was holding a one-handed wood-cutting ax, said fiercely: "Use all your strength! We must stop it!"

"good!"

Just when the two priests reached an agreement and were ready to stop the parasitic monster at all costs, the parasitic monster in front suddenly stopped suddenly with the neighing of a horse, and stopped in a panic.

This caught the two priests off guard. They had no choice but to hold their weapons tightly and exert divine power on them. At the same time, they kept moving and only cautiously slowed down their pace.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap, with the sound of horse hooves, a knight wearing thick horse armor walked out from behind the heated log pile in front. The knight raised his hand and waved to the carriage drivers who were lying on sentinel on the nearby pile of logs, indicating that these people should continue to guard the surroundings. Then the knight lifted the visor of his steel helmet, revealing a particularly young face underneath.

"Two priests, uh, priests of the Sun God. Do you need my help? I can help you solve this problem." The young knight asked in a deep voice.

He pointed in the direction where the monster and the priest came from: "I saw that one just now, wow, what an amazing blow."

The priest holding the sharp ax twitched his lips in embarrassment: "Be careful, this monster just dodged my divine throw."

The young knight shrugged: "I think so. But don't worry, I'm quite talented in throwing or archery."

As soon as he finished speaking, the parasitic monster that had been kept in place by Kil's murderous intent could no longer hold back after confirming that the knight with strong murderous intent was indeed going to attack it. It did not turn around to face the two unknown men. The priests of the Sun God Church had no intention of facing the threatening young human knights. Instead, they chose the pile of logs beside them and a sentry driver on the top of the log pile who looked at it with wide eyes.

He kicked his legs on the ground, and the vine roots that served as his legs and feet tried their best to help pull the ground and the pile of logs to maintain the balance and speed of his rapid movement. At the same time, the vine roots on its upper body were separated front and back, swaying towards the priests and the young knights as a demonstration.

Bare teeth and show claws.

"Hurry up! It's going to hurt the coachman!" shouted a priest.

Another priest holding a one-handed wood-cutting ax immediately imbued the ax in his hand with the power of the Sun God. This time, he was bound to kill the parasitic monster with one axe.

But before the two priests nervously launched an attack, Kil, who was riding on the blood-licking grass, had time to glance at the familiar divine power gushing from the two priests.

"Mmm, the power of the sun god. Is this so..."

While muttering, Kil patted the hunting scabbard hanging on his left waist with his left hand. The obedient long sword automatically sprang out from the scabbard and was held in the right hand stretched out from his chest.

Then, without even looking carefully, Kil swung his right hand to the left, and swung the hunting sword towards the parasitic monster climbing the log pile.

Woo—

The long sword was very fast, and Kil's sword was thrown out much faster than the priest in front. Before the priest holding the ax raised his hand, the front of Kil's long sword made a familiar sound. The divine white light pulled out a white band of light in his sight, and it struck the center of the parasitic monster's body in a flash.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the long sword penetrated right through the spine of the monster's parasitic human body, directly penetrating the entire parasitic monster, and then pierced into a thick log.

The front half of the long sword was completely embedded in the log, and it was very secure. No matter how hard the parasitic monster hit the log, and its own body, it could not break away from its pinned body.

"Wow￥￥#￥%!" A strange roar came from the monster's mouth, accompanied by an angry and desperate roar. It even tore off some of its own weak vine roots while trying to escape.

There was a fragrance of plants in the air. Kil sniffed it, closed his visor, and jumped down to lick the blood grass.

As he walked towards the parasitic monster, he said to the two priests who were stunned not far away: "As I said just now, I happen to have some talents. At this distance, I won't miss the target."

After saying this, the face of the priest holding the ax turned red. He put away the ax in embarrassment and looked at his companion, but he saw a look of disdain in his companion's eyes.

The priest defended awkwardly: "It was the monster that escaped just now."

I don’t know who he is defending, and whether the fellow priests who hear this will believe it.

Later, the two priests saw that the young knight was approaching the parasitic monster nailed to the log, and hurried forward: "Wait a minute, be careful of this monster, it is very powerful! And they can also control ordinary people during contact!"

Kil nodded: "I know, it's okay, I'm wearing armor. And this monster looks a little different from the previous monster."

The priest of the Church of the Sun God immediately stepped forward and said first, "It's better not to get close to them. Let us use the power of the Sun God to burn them away!"

Keir waved his hand: "Don't! You two, these are piles of logs that have been overwintered. They are already very dry. In addition, it has not rained recently. If it burns, no one can stand it. Even rain may not put out the lumberyard fires."

After saying this, the two priests of the Church of the Sun God realized that if a fire broke out in the lumberyard, although it would not cause casualties to the public now, UU Reading www.uukaｎshu. com But the logs in the lumberyard are the burning fuel that the people of Yemei Town need most. Without these wood, the people in the town will really have to chew their food.

The two of them and the Sun God Church in the town couldn't handle this.

In this way, the two priests stopped, but they also advised the young knight to choose a safer method to execute the parasitic monster.

Kil smiled, ignored the two men, climbed up the pile of logs, and approached the pinned parasitic monster.

The monster swung its fists, legs and vine roots all over its body, but Keir caught and tore them off one by one. With the loss of vine roots and the purple juice leaking out from the fracture, the parasitic monster's counterattack became weaker and weaker.

Finally, Kil reached out and dug around on the parasitic monster's torso. Amid the monster's scream, he pulled out a face core from the abdomen of the human body's torso.

Without the control of the core of the human face, all the roots on the human body parasitized by the monster were pulled down.

Keir looked at the palm-sized core, which was no different from other facial cores he had seen before, and felt disappointed.

He opened his mouth and asked this face: "You are different from the ones I have seen before. Can you tell me what is different about you?"

This guy was dying and had no controllable human body. Any child could smash it to pieces with a wooden stick. At this time, it was captured alive by a human knight. It remained silent and unresponsive.

Just like the face core found by Keel before.

Feeling bored, Kil snorted coldly, exerted force on the palm of his left hand, and crushed the thing in his palm with the steel gauntlet.

As for the little purple juice that flowed out, Kiel collected it with a small leather bag that could hold water in his right hand. Maybe this thing could be sold for some money?
