NOVEL WEB Chapter 17 Escape
The two guards held their breath and walked toward the knocked-out object. They walked slower and slower, but their hearts were beating faster and faster. The candles in their hands were extinguished and everything around them was shaking, like dancing ghosts. film.
Finally I walked to a place not far from the thing. It looked furry, like an animal.
Huh, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't human...
The bold one among them took the candle and stepped forward, bent down and shined a light on the animal...
"Wow--"
The tearing scream frightened the other guard to jump up, and took a few steps back with a horrified expression, holding the knife in front of him with trembling hands.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The one who yelled pointed at him and mocked: "Look, I scared you, you're a coward."
"I'm afraid you're sick, and you're joking with me right now!"
The man holding the candle didn't care and kicked the dead animal on the ground hard.
The body turned over...
Huh, the eyes are open, the head is covered with blood, it is an ordinary wolf, and the death state is a bit ferocious.
"Where did you come from, you beast, you dare to run on the business road. If you weren't in a hurry, I would have skinned you."
"Okay, William! Come back, don't waste time."
Apparently the housekeeper and others also heard their conversation, and they finally relaxed their worries. They were just wild beasts.
The coachman calmed the horses, and the two carriages continued on their way.
In the carriage of the two sisters, Meili found a thin blanket to wrap herself up. The night in the forest was a bit cold, and more importantly, she was a little scared for no reason.
"Yilan, aren't you cold?"
Qingtian smiled and handed the sleepy Nami to Meili's arms: "You can hold it and it won't get cold anymore. Don't worry, you'll be home soon."
Meili felt Nanami's warm body temperature and felt relieved, "Yeah, yes, we have been walking for a while and we are almost there."
Sunny looked at the clock on the carriage.
7:28, a lot of time indeed.
I looked out the window, it was pitch black.
She pressed the window lock and closed the curtains, "If you feel tired, take a nap."
Meili nodded, hugged Nami and lay down crookedly.
Nami is very quiet today, maybe he is tired from playing in the Spiritual Pet Center during the day.
Qingtian sat across from them, feeling a little heavy. In order to relieve his anxiety, he found a book and read at will.
After flipping through less than half of the book, I heard a clang and the car swayed.
The carriage she was riding in also hit something, and the horses neighed, snorted, and gasped.
The voices of the driver and escort Qiao Qi came from the front of the car.
"What the hell, what happened? What did you hit?"
"Maybe it's still an animal. No matter, let's go around it! Follow the front."
The carriage continued on the road without stopping, while Meili and Nami were still sleeping.
The strange uneasiness in Qingtian's heart became more and more intense, and he felt that the words on the page were messy. She put the book down and looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of the wall clock in the car.
Seven twenty-eight.
Qingtian was shocked, something was wrong! The clock was still running when I went out at noon, but has it stopped now?
She hurriedly knocked on the partition at the front of the car, opened the small window and asked, "Qiaoqi, do you know what time it is? The clock in the car is broken."
Qiao Qi, who was sitting in front of the carriage, frowned and took out his pocket watch, "It's seven twenty-eight, miss."
Another seven twenty-eight!
In an instant, Sunny felt cold all over.
"Contact the housekeeper and ask them to stop, something is wrong!" Qingtian was anxious, his voice trembling slightly.
It is unlikely that the clock and the watch both broke at the same time, and the excessive coincidence must be a deliberate result.
Qiao Qi also felt bad. It had been dark for a long time, and the walk was longer than usual.
"Butler, butler, did you hear that?"
The communication ring infused with spiritual power flickered weakly, and finally stopped shining as if exhausted.
Trouble! Subpoena failed!
"Go after them! The news won't get out!"
Qiao Qi ordered the driver to speed up and immediately said to Yilan:
"Miss, we are in trouble. Open the defensive psychic array on the carriage, lock the windows and doors, and try not to come out no matter what happens!"
"Understood!"
Hearing that the news could not be spread, Qingtian's bad feeling became even stronger.
"Meili, wake up, something happened, we need to make some preparations."
Sunny opened the carriage's defense array and woke Meili up again.
When she finished what she was doing and turned to look at Meili, she still didn't wake up, and even Nami didn't move.
The carriage was driving at a fast speed. Sunny's hands and feet were cold and frozen in place. He took a deep breath, bent to Meili's side, and explored it with his hands. He felt warm and breathy.
"Yilan, Mary, wake up, I need your help!" Qingtian sat weakly on the chair, folded his hands and called to his sleeping partner.
……
"Hurry up! We'll catch up with them soon."
Outside the carriage, Qiao Qi urged the driver, and the wind blew their hair wildly and scratched their already rough face numb.
Seeing the two carriages getting closer and closer, George shouted: "Stop, William! Towne! Stop!"
Unfortunately, the other party seemed unable to hear, and the carriage was still moving forward.
"Stop, William...oh! God...!"
Qiao Qi watched as a human-sized black shadow crashed into his companion's carriage at an incredible speed.
With a bang, the psychic carriage shook greatly, the side window was shattered, and the black shadow was bounced away, just passing by Qiao Qi and the others on the right. It looked like a wolf.
"Damn it, William! Stop it!"
The carriage in front finally slowed down and slowed down.
"Qiao Qi! Protect the young lady, something is wrong!" The housekeeper stuck his head out of the broken window and shouted back. The originally calm old man was obviously agitated.
Qiao Qi was about to speak when the housekeeper said again:
"Unable to summon the Duke's Mansion, we rush out of this place as quickly as possible. Follow us!"
After saying that, the housekeeper disappeared from the window, and the carriage in front moved again...
Qiao Qi opened his mouth wide and was a little unresponsive.
"Are we following?" The coachman was also in a panic. Seeing that the carriage in front of him had already run away, he was not sure whether he should stop or...
"What the hell... catch up!" Qiao Qi was so angry that he cursed, "What's going on!"
The two carriages chased each other in the dark night like lightning. The wind blew harder and louder, rattling people's eardrums, and the woods on both sides were blurred.
Green light spots lit up in the woods, changing from sparse to dense.
The light spots kept moving, accelerating, and converging toward the center.
That's a pack of wild wolves!
Swooping towards the carriage speeding on the road...
"Quick, faster!"
"Hurry up! They're coming!"
The carriage in front picked up speed again, followed closely behind.
Qiao Qi stood at the front of the carriage, using his spiritual power to transform his sword energy into sweeping towards the wild wolf rushing towards him. But there were still many fish that slipped through the net and crashed into the defensive formation from the flanks.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The wild wolves kept smashing into the carriage, more and more, and the psychic defense array on the outside of the carriage gradually weakened, getting darker every time it was resisted, and was about to collapse at any time.
There was a violent vibration in the carriage, once, twice, three times...
"How's it going? Are Meili and Nami okay?"
Sunny finally woke up Mary and Yilan from their slumber and was communicating with them in consciousness. She didn't care about the situation outside. After all, her cultivation level was not as good as that of the coachman and guards.
"It's not good. Her and the cat's consciousness seems to have been pulled to another dimension."
Another dimension? Sunny struggled to understand what Mary meant.
"Similar to a spiritual space?"
"Almost, but this is man-made, including the environment you are in now, which is not realistic."
These words gave Qingtian a blow to the head, yes, this is not reality!
It must have been from 7:28 that they lost touch with reality!
Then where are they now? If it is not reality, where did these wolves come from!
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a created space illusion. Maybe it's all fake except for you."
……
More wolves gathered outside the carriage, and the carriage's defensive formation was already crumbling.
Qiao Qi, a fourth-level heavenly warrior, felt very frustrated. His two fists were hard to beat with four hands. He was good at fighting and swordsmanship, but not good at ranged defense.
The man's fierce-looking face was now covered with sweat, one sword strike after another, with no end in sight.
The spiritual power is being consumed bit by bit, and there is no time to recover at all.
Looking at the endless swarm of wolves, he thought about escaping, but if he left, what would happen to the two girls of the Morton family...
He has been in the Morton family for more than ten years. He was once an inconspicuous soldier in the family, but one day Morton Daoer said that he was a good material for practicing martial arts and that he would be a loyal person if he was filial to his parents.
As a result, he became a cultivator, a heaven-level warrior, and Morton Daoer's most trusted guard.
Today, his mission is to protect his daughter.
So today, let’s protect it until the last bit of spiritual power and the last bit of strength is used up.
This is a guard's duty.
A warrior would rather die in battle than flee or retreat!
Qiao Qi's momentum rose sharply. He patted the coachman on the shoulder and jumped onto the top of the carriage.
The fierce wind roared, and the sword energy was endless.
