There was dead silence in the forest late at night.
After the hustle and bustle of the day, the forest looked particularly eerie at night. But to Fangzheng, this was obviously nothing.
"To be honest, what's the point?"
Fangzheng held her head in her hands and walked in the forest in boredom. At the same time, she looked at Heine who was not far in front of her.
"You still haven't given up on that secret method? Why don't you tell me the truth and just join our Thousand World Tree? "
"I still have to give it a try. Magicians are stubborn people."
"So why do you still want to drag me along?"
Fangzheng was a little puzzled because after finding the old man's body in the morning, Heine found her and the flowers. Originally, Fangzheng thought that Heine had finally thought it through, but she didn't expect that Heine actually asked them to take care of his sister, Rosalind.
In any case, the little girl was quite well-behaved and sensible. She could even watch Pleasant Goat with relish for a whole day. In the end, what Fangzheng didn't expect was that in the evening, Heine actually found her again and invited her to go with him to find the whereabouts of the inheritance and the murderer.
This made Fangzheng a little confused. But even if she couldn't figure it out, she still followed.
"But didn't you come too?"
"I came, but I wanted to end this farce as soon as possible. Weber seems to want to play the role of a famous detective, but I don't have that intention. I'm also not interested in reasoning. The simpler and more direct way to catch the murderer is to directly catch it at the scene of the crime … "
At this point, Fangzheng clenched her small fist and waved it.
"It's time for this farce to end!"
While saying that, Fangzheng looked at Heine.
"What about you? Still not giving up on that so-called Wen secret method? "
"In fact, I've dealt with that beast once."
"Oh, I heard about that."
Fangzheng wasn't surprised by Heine's words. This was because he was the first person to discover the first victim, the Huano Ryukari. And according to Heine's description, he had encountered an attack from a particular beast when he was searching for a "riddle" in the castle. Then, he tracked the beast to the hall and discovered the Huano Ryukari's corpse that had been impaled on the angel.
"At that time, I was very unhappy that I couldn't determine the winner, so I planned to challenge it again."
"So what does this have to do with me?"
"I hope you can be a witness."
Heine smiled at the red ponytail. If a real girl saw the smile on his handsome face, she would have screamed. But Fangzheng, of course, did not react.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine with it. If I follow you, I might be able to find the murderer earlier. It's not a bad idea to go home earlier."
While the two of them were chatting, they arrived at an open space at the edge of the forest. There was a pedestal there, and the part where a statue should have been placed was empty. Needless to say, the one placed there should have been an angel.
"The angel turned into a beast, gazed at the sky in the west, and swallowed the sun."
Looking at the handwriting on the podium, Heine took out his invitation and glanced at it, then whispered to himself. Then, he carefully looked at the pedestal and stretched out his hand.
"Rumble rumble rumble …"
With a soft noise, the pedestal slowly moved backward, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of the two.
"Not bad."
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng couldn't help but whistle.
"You're much better than that guy."
"I just found a little clue."
Heine said as he walked into the tunnel, and Fangzheng followed closely behind.
After walking into the tunnel, Fangzheng saw Heine standing there. Then, he closed his eyes and muttered to himself softly, "Heine, Heine.
"Move."
The next moment, Heine's body was instantly covered by a knight's armor, and at the same time, a spear appeared in his hand. Seeing this scene, Fangzheng's expression froze for a moment.
"Hey, are you serious?"
"Huh? What? "
Heine turned around and looked at Fangzheng in surprise, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
"Of all the weapons you can use, you're using a spear … Don't you know that the ancient spearman's luck is E?"
"… Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"It means that people who use spears have always been the unlucky kind since ancient times."
With that said, Fangzheng added another sentence.
"And they all died very miserably."
"…"
Hearing this, Heine didn't know what to say for a while. He could only cough, turn around, and continue walking forward.
The sound of silent footsteps echoed in the secret tunnel. The two walked forward one after another. There was no light in the dark secret tunnel, but this was naturally not a big problem for Heine and Fangzheng.
"— — — — —"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for both of them to stop. Even without light, they both saw the darkness — a deeper layer of darkness.
"Is this the beast you were talking about? It looks pretty ugly. "
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the monster in front of him before giving his opinion. For Fangzheng, who had night vision, the monster in front of him was indeed not very good-looking. It looked like a hybrid of a spider and a wolf, and its fur was covered in blood and mud. At the same time, Heine gripped his spear tightly and got into a fighting stance. He looked at the monster and said in a low voice.
"We meet again."
"Whoosh — —!!"
There was no answer. The black monster pounced from the other side of the tunnel, raised its sharp claws, and swung at Heine. At the same time, Heine, who had transformed into a knight of the spear (how unlucky), lowered his center of gravity and stabbed the spear in his hand at the black monster.
However, contrary to Heine's expectations, the monster did not attack him. Instead, it swung its sharp claws at his spear and chipped the sharp tip of the spear.
"I see."
Heine muttered to himself, then quickly swung his spear. The spear in his hand began to transform, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a long sword. Obviously, he also knew what the monster was planning. The other party obviously wanted to destroy his weapon first, and then slowly torture him.
Facing Heine's counterattack, the monster leaped up again. With a speed completely unimaginable to humans, it bounced around in the secret tunnel like a bouncy ball. In the blink of an eye, it came behind Heine and stabbed its claws at the back of Heine's heart again.
But …
"I knew you would do this."
Following Heine's words, the young man's armor suddenly melted and turned into chains, binding the monster tightly. At the same time, Heine turned around and raised the sword in his hand at the monster.
"Then, please let me have a good look at your true face."
At that moment, the monster opened its mouth as if it was crying.
The next moment, an ear-piercing scream filled the whole secret tunnel.
At the same time, Heine's body suddenly trembled, then he fell limply to the ground. The chains that bound the monster also returned to their original form at this moment. At that moment, the monster stretched out its right hand towards Heine's chest. Then, a fair and tender little hand suddenly appeared from the side and grabbed the monster's claw.
"Say, have you forgotten about my existence?"
Before the voice faded, Fangzheng jumped up and punched the monster's nose, sending it flying. Only then did Fangzheng turn around and look at the unconscious Heine lying on the ground.
"Hey, are you okay?!"
She grabbed Heine and slapped his face repeatedly. Only then did Heine wake up.
"I … I understand …"
"What do you understand?"
"Why were Huano Ryukari and Old Master Orlok killed so easily by this monster …."
Heinie sucked in a deep breath as he felt the weakness in his body. In fact, since the beginning of the incident, Heine had always had doubts in his heart. Huano Rheshi was a representative of the Magic Formation Department, and Orlok was a veteran of the Butterfly Magic. Their magic attainments must be extraordinary. Taking a step back, even if the enemy they encountered was really strong, the two of them should not have been unable to escape.
What's more, judging from the battle just now, the other party was just a beast.
But now, Heine finally understood why Huano Ryukari and Orlok died in the hands of the beast.
Its cry could have an effect on the Magic Engraving.
In fact, the moment he heard the cry, the Magic Engraving on Heine's body immediately lost its effect.
The more powerful the magician, the deeper the connection with the Magic Engraving, so once they encountered a problem, they were more likely to get into trouble. This was the case for Heine, and it was obviously the same for Huano Ryukari and Orlok. Although they were all quite powerful magicians, once the Magic Engraving was completely stopped, they were like robots without power and could only wait to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, not everyone was affected.
"Are you okay?"
"You sound like I'm not okay."
Grabbing Heine's collar, Fangzheng quickly ran into the depths of the secret passageway, pursuing the beast with all his might.
"I'm not like you fragile magicians. I don't want the Magic Engraving even if you beg me! Stop right there! "
At this moment, Red Ponytail came to an abrupt halt. Heine saw her swipe her right hand from her hair ornament, and a scarlet, flaming greatsword appeared out of thin air. Red Ponytail held the greatsword and slashed it down at the monsters that were dashing ahead!
Boom! Boom!
The scorching heat was mixed with a violent explosion, almost overturning the entire ground. The monster also wailed and disappeared in the flying dust.
"Tsk!"
Fangzheng grabbed Heine and jumped out of the collapsed tunnel. He looked to his left and right, but unfortunately, the monster seemed to have disappeared. She couldn't help but let out a soft snort and threw Heine to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Hearing the commotion, Elmero II, Grey, Luvia, and the others ran over. Seeing the scene before them, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"We just met someone who is likely to be the murderer of Huano Ryukari and Orlok …."
At this moment, Heine seemed to have finally pulled himself together. He panted and crawled up from the ground.
"I was almost killed. Thank you, Miss Red Ponytail, for saving me …."
"What the hell is going on?"
Hearing this, Luvia could not help but ask. But just as Heine was about to speak, suddenly … a flash of light appeared in the distance.
"Boom!!!"
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, the window on the second floor suddenly burst open.
That was the room where Fangzheng and Flower were.
