after being offered to the devil

Chapter 45

==================

According to Lin Qiao's memory, this forest is not big, as long as he keeps walking eastward, he will be able to get out in a short time.

In other words, as long as you walk in the opposite direction for the same time, you can reach the abyss.

But the strange thing is that the team went around for a long time, but they couldn't leave the forest.

Going around, the scenery in front of me is roughly the same, as if I have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and I have been circling in situ.

The wheels rolled over and left a rut on the ground.

Lin Qiao took a nap for a while, opened his eyes, and looked out the window.

The sky was foggy.

The Misty Banshees who have been haunting the shadows have been expelled, but the forest is still haunted by a layer of mist.

Lin Qiao knocked lightly on the window and asked, "What time is it now?"

The voice outside was also uncertain. After hesitating for a while, he said, "We've been walking for a day and a night."

Lin Qiao was surprised: "It's been so long?"

He thought it was only a while.

In an unchanging environment, people will always lose their perception of time and gradually become numb.

Along the way, the sky has been dark, the shadows of the trees are dense, and strange noises are made from time to time, which makes people frightened and surprised.

Coupled with the fact that they have been on their way, the state of the team has become out of order.

No one can keep vigilant all the time, even Andy showed a little fatigue.But he is the backbone of the team and cannot easily expose his flaws.

His back was still straight, and he was firmly fixed on the horse's back. His eyes swept over the group of people below: "Rest in place!"

With an order, everyone got busy.

There were teams on guard all around, some were in charge of cleaning up the scene, and some set up camps... Everything was in order, and after a while, there was a fire in the camp, and the delicious aroma of bread came out.

Under the warm light of the fire, the people in the team relaxed, and some sang songs.

The singing sound spread all the way to the carriage where Lin Qiao was.

He pushed open the door and walked out.

Probably because of his special status as a "saint", he is located in the center of the team, surrounded by brave knights of light, and he feels very safe when he sees those tall and straight figures.

Lin Qiao's eyes flicked, trying to leave the encirclement of the team.

But these knights of light abide by their mission and don't let Lin Qiao leave the center.

Once Lin Qiao had the intention to approach the periphery, they would use the excuse of "for the sake of the saint" to persuade him to go back.

Lin Qiao couldn't break through the human wall, so he had to walk around within a limited area.

Not two steps out, he saw Andy.

Andy had just finished his work and hid in a corner to rest.

The helmet was taken off, his blond hair was disheveled, and there was a look of tiredness between his handsome and deep eyes.

Xu was too tired, he didn't keep the shelf of Shengzi, but sat on the ground directly, and fell on the shelf again.

And his two artifacts—the Holy Sword and the Bow of Dawn—are within easy reach.

The holy sword was inserted into the scabbard, and the hilt was exquisitely patterned, inlaid with a huge light stone, which was continuously absorbing light elements.

The Bow of Dawn was hung casually on the side, with a special texture, like wood but not wood, silver but not silver.There are no bowstrings on it. I heard that the bow of dawn shoots out not bows and arrows, but invisible elemental arrows.

Each elemental arrow is equivalent to a forbidden curse issued by a magician. If it is powerful enough, it can even kill gods.

——These are the two artifacts that killed the Lord of the Abyss in the original "God's Fall".

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao paused and approached lightly.

Andy was still resting with his eyes closed, and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.

There was no one around, if Lin Qiao did something, no one would notice.

Just when Lin Qiao was about to get close to Andy, the pony mount with unicorn blood slowly raised its head.

Lin Qiao was caught by those wet eyes and smiled unnaturally.

The pony chewed the grass, shook its mane, and approached.

Lin Qiao: "..."

and many more.

He didn't have time to do anything bad!

Lin Qiao panicked and didn't dare to run away.

There are people around here, if he runs away, isn't it just that he is going to do something bad?

Lin Qiao stood stiffly on the spot, turned his face sideways, and tried to remain calm.

He first heard a "咴咴", and then a warm and fluffy head came over and pushed his shoulder.

The pony leaned closer and tried to cuddle Lin Qiao with its head.

Lin Qiao was at a loss.

The pony was muscular and too enthusiastic, and his face was wet from a lick.In order to avoid losing his body again, he hastily stretched out his hand to block it: "Wait..."

"Lily is a good girl." At some point, Andy woke up and was watching this scene not far away.

A smile flashed across his face, "It likes you."

Andy said as he walked: "Unicorns like people with pure and kind hearts."

Lin Qiao hugged the passionate pony, smoothed the beautiful and soft mane, thinking: He is not pure and kind.

Just now I was thinking about what to do with those two artifacts.

But it's okay to think about this kind of thing in your heart, there is no need to say it.

Lin Qiao followed the hair, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a white light out of the corner of his eye.Turning my head and looking, it turned out to be the cluster of crystal horns on the top of the lily's head.

That corner is very beautiful, spiraling up straight, crystal clear, light and shadow refracted, surrounded by colorful fluorescent lights.

Andy said, "You can pet its horns."

Lin Qiao was taken aback: "Is it possible?"

Andy: "Of course, Lily will not refuse you."

Lin Qiao got the approval and tried to reach out to touch it.Before touching it, Lily took the initiative to come forward.

The fingertips lightly touched the horn.

It looks like a unicorn's horn is sharp and cold, but it feels completely different to the touch.

Lin Qiao felt a warm feeling rushing from her fingers, dispelling the tiredness and drowsiness from the journey, and she became refreshed and woke up.

Feels good.

Lin Qiao wanted to touch it again, but Lily seemed to be surprised, let out a hoarse neigh, and then hid in a corner trembling.

Lin Qiao looked at the frightened Lily, then at his own hand: "...?"

what happened?

Andy clenched the sacred sword, and said in a deep voice, "There are dark creatures approaching."

Unicorns are born from light and are particularly sensitive to dark creatures.

Lily is so scared, it means that the dark creature is very powerful... at least, stronger than him.

Andy became alert and looked around vigilantly.

The Knight of Light next to him also noticed the movement here, and hurried over: "Holy Son, what's wrong?"

"Did a monster appear?"

"Master Holy Son!"

The team that had been quiet just now had another small commotion.

Andy failed to find any traces of the dark creature, and lowered his hand: "It's okay, I'm too nervous, you guys continue to be vigilant."

The enemy is invisible and invisible, hiding in the darkness.

Letting others know would cause unnecessary panic.

Why don't you just pretend not to know and secretly strengthen your guard.

The Bright Knights obeyed Andy's order and retreated to their original positions.

Andy walked towards Lily slowly, calling incessantly: "Lily, my good girl, what did you see? Don't be afraid..."

No matter what Andy said, Lily refused to come over, and only made a low whimper.

Andy frowned.

This line is not as simple as he imagined.

First, he met the Misty Banshee, and then he hit the wall in the forest. He didn't even see the appearance of the enemy, so he panicked.

Andy's heart sank, and he said to Lin Qiao, "Joe, do me a favor."

Lin Qiao's eyelashes trembled, and instead of agreeing immediately, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Andy said, "Do what you're supposed to do."

It's very simple, it is to stabilize people's hearts in the team as a saint.

There is no need to do complicated things, just sing hymns, recite and praise the God of Light.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, but did not refuse.

After all, this is a good opportunity for him to show his face in front of the Knight of Light and consolidate his status as a saint.

Otherwise, if he stayed in the carriage all the time, he would only make others think he was a useless vase, and his speech would have no weight afterwards.

Whether it is useful or not, he must gain certain rights in the team.

Lin Qiao's thoughts turned, clasped his hands together, lowered his eyelids, and sang a divine song praising the God of Light in a low voice.

To be honest, even after being brainwashed by the Holy Court of Light, Lin Qiao still has no devout belief in the God of Light.

He didn't pay much attention when he was learning the hymn, so he sang it a little perfunctorily, but fortunately he didn't lose his key and forget the words.

Lin Qiao: Almost done.jpg

Fortunately, he has a special physique. Even if he doesn't pray sincerely, the God of Light is keen to post back.

In the clear and melodious chants, Lin Qiao's surroundings seemed to have been treated with a soft light effect, with soft brows and fair skin, exuding a holy and holy temperament.

Even in the foggy forest where light is scarce, there are endless light elements emerging.

When the light elements were concentrated to a certain level, light elves were born from the light group. They hovered above the team with their wings flapping, singing together with Lin Qiao.

Surrounded by the singing, everyone's spirits were shaken, and the haze weighing on their heads was swept away.

Andy stood at the front of the line, full of energy, and pointed forward: "Go on!"

The team moves on.

Probably with the blessing of the Holy Light, this time they lost their way in the forest again, but successfully found their way out.

The eerie forest gradually recedes.

Lin Qiao stopped singing, pursed the corners of her dry lips, and looked behind her.

After a group of uninvited guests left, the gray mist swept in again, isolating the forest from the outside world.

The shadow of the tree stretched its teeth and claws, and the dark place was deep, as if hiding a beast that devoured people, watching everyone with cold and greedy eyes.

I don't know if it was Lin Qiao's illusion, but he always felt that the darkness was surging, and there was a familiar figure standing inside.

……

Leaving the dense forest means stepping into the territory of the abyss.

The Abyss is a place cursed by the gods.

There is no light here, it is shrouded in eternal night, and it will never wait for daylight. There is only a blood moon hanging in the air.

The demon staggered forward, holding a rotten and smelly corpse in his hand, and gnawed a bite from time to time; the Harpy Queen stood on the cliff, tilting her head and looking at the group of visitors; ghost fire...

farther.

In the deepest darkness.

Countless chains swayed gently, and the figure that should be trapped here by thousands of rules has long since disappeared.

……

The Abyss is an ominous and cursed place.

As soon as the team of the Knights of Light entered it, they felt a natural discomfort.

After all, light and darkness cannot coexist at the same time since ancient times. Once they meet, they are incompatible.

Fortunately, the people of the Holy Court of Light had already prepared to camp and rest on the edge of the abyss.

There are a group of priests who specialize in learning the light assist technique, and give blessings to the members of the Light Knights in turn.

What kind of bright spell, stamina spell, good luck spell... all kinds of buffs are superimposed on the body as if they don't need money.

The whole person is like a light bulb, emitting light in the dark, especially obvious.

As a saint, Lin Qiao also symbolically helped people bless them.

Maybe it was because he knew that he, the saint, was well hydrated, and there were not many people queuing in front of him, and there was no one in a while.

Just as he was about to call it a day, another figure walked over.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Andy.

Lin Qiao: "?"

Andy said calmly, "There are too many people over there."

Lin Qiao politely refused: "I'm a half-assed..."

Andy: "It's okay."

Since everyone said it was all right, Lin Qiao was not polite, and directly blessed Andy.

His blessings are not many.

Just one heal and one bright.

As soon as he raised his hand, a little fluorescent light appeared on his fingertips, and with a light wave, it landed on Andy's body.

Brilliant flow.

There was a shimmer of light on the mithril armor.

Lin Qiao withdrew his hand.

The blessing is over, logically speaking, Andy should leave.

But when he looked up, Andy was still standing in front of him.

Lin Qiao: "What's the matter?"

Andy hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "This is the abyss."

Lin Qiao was at a loss.

Of course he knows that this is an abyss, right?Then what?

Andy: "You... be careful. Don't get too far away from me."

Lin Qiao blinked and understood.

I don't know what the God of Light said, but Andy always felt that he had betrayed the Lord of the Abyss, and this time he was sent to the abyss to serve as a bait to lure the Lord of the Abyss out.

Since it is bait, it must be dangerous.

That's why Andy said such things to him.

With a thought, Lin Qiao agreed, "Okay."

In the original book, it was Andy who killed the Lord of the Abyss.

He wants to stay by Andy's side, and when necessary, he may be able to prevent the plot from happening in advance.

After the words fell, Lin Qiao felt that he seemed to agree too quickly. In order not to make Andy suspicious, he lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "I am really worried... After all, the Lord of the Abyss is so terrible..."

Andy's right hand moved unconsciously: "The Knights of Light are here, don't worry."

Lin Qiao showed a faint smile: "That's really great."

The light fell on his cheeks, making his eyebrows and eyes more delicate.

Andy couldn't look away for a moment.

No one noticed that before they knew it, the surroundings had been enveloped in darkness.

The darkness surged, with raging rage, wanting to swallow everything it touched, leaving nothing behind.

In the darkness, came a low voice.

"Jojo..."

"Jojo..."

"Don't make me sad..."
