Chapter 236 021: Bounty Hunter in Despair

Luo Xi's eyes lit up: "Is there anyone?"

He has been lost in this godforsaken place for a long time. It would be a great help if he could find a living person to help him understand the surrounding situation.

Just as Luo Xi was feeling happy, Lina added: "But if you don't hurry up, you may soon become a dead person."

Luo Xi was stunned: "What's going on."

Lina said: "You will know if you go out and take a look."

Luo Xi immediately dropped what he was doing, left the tent and went outside, and as soon as he arrived here he saw what Lina said.

However, they saw that in the ruins not far from the lake, there were two men and one woman hiding in a dilapidated building. There were at least a dozen undead, skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, etc. surrounding them, who were attacking the three people. The situation was already precarious.

"Let's go and have a look."

Luo Xi moved and walked quickly towards that direction.

At the same time, in the ruins ahead.

Jerome was desperately waving the cross sword in his hand to resist the attacks of the surrounding undead. He was a treasure hunter lurking in the ruins and possessed the strength of a knight. The two people fighting alongside him were his companions. The young man was called Kane, who was also a knight like him, and the female Angel was a noble wizard apprentice.

Originally, the three of them had agreed to come here together to explore a ruined castle. Not long ago, they obtained a treasure map of the place. It was once owned by a noble of Sigrama, and they wanted to try their luck to see if they could find some treasures in it.

However, they did not expect that their expedition would fail. Before they could find the exact location of the ruins, they were besieged by the undead wandering in the wasteland.

This place was not a place that bounty hunters of their strength could come to. With their current strength, they could barely deal with one or two undead, but when they encountered such a large-scale group of undead, they were immediately put in a desperate situation.

"Angel, are you still not feeling well?" Jerome shouted back while waving his sword to resist the attacks of the undead.

It is impossible to fight against these undead spirits with the strength of the knight alone. Now he can only put his hope on Angel behind him, hoping that her magic can help them find a way out of this dangerous situation.

"I need a little more time."

However, Angel's answer disappointed Jerome. After all, she was just a low-level apprentice who had just embarked on the path of a wizard. Not only was the magic she could cast very limited, but she was also not very skilled in manipulating energy.

"Hurry up, we can't hold on any longer." Kane's voice came from the side. He was also struggling to resist.

Angel said, "Five no, three minutes!"

Jerome smiled bitterly. Three minutes was not a particularly long time, but in this situation, they might not be able to hold out for even one minute, let alone three minutes.

After thinking for a moment, Jerome seemed to have made some decision. He gritted his teeth, and suddenly pressed his thumb on a rune of the cross sword while chanting a short spell.

There was originally a strange demon relief on the hilt of the cross sword. At this moment, the relief seemed to come alive. The demon on it actually woke up, opened its mouth, bit Jerome's wrist and began to suck hard.

A large amount of blood was visibly drawn out from the blood vessels and poured into the mouth of the demon statue. Jerome's face became noticeably paler, his hair became a little withered, and even some fine wrinkles appeared on his skin. It seemed that not only the blood but also the vitality was drained.

“Chichichi!”

But at the same time, a strange chirping sound came from the blade. It was the strange laughter of the demon sculpture on the sword guard. Then the demon flew down from the sword guard, transformed into a huge demon phantom, and quickly merged with Jerome.

"Huh?"

Luo Xi, who had just arrived nearby, was stunned when he saw this scene. He stopped his original plan to attack and looked curiously at Jerome and the cross sword in his hand.

This is obviously a magic sword weapon, a demonic magic weapon. This is very rare. Let's observe and see what specific spell it is.

“Hoohoo!~Hoohoo!~”

After the demon's phantom merged with Jerome, Jerome's breathing suddenly became heavy, with two obvious white smoke coming out of his nostrils. His body suddenly and rapidly expanded outwards. Only a few "cracking" sounds were heard, and his whole body suddenly grew nearly twice as large, bursting his clothes and turning into a small giant.

At this moment, Jerome seemed to have abandoned his human form. Long pointed arms grew out of his hands, his legs became thick, and his skin was even covered with a thick layer of scales.

"roar!"

He roared, threw away the cross sword in his hand, jumped up, and jumped into the pile of undead in front of him like a lion pouncing on its prey.

“Kacha! Puff!”

Jerome's strength also increased by who knows how many times at this moment. All of a sudden, the surrounding undead were directly knocked flying by him. Two skeletons were shattered in an instant, and one zombie even had its rotten heart dug out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With Jerome's outburst, the few people who were originally in desperate situation seemed to have turned the situation around again and barely resisted the attack of the undead.

“The improvement is so huge?”

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and became more interested in this magic weapon. He wondered what the specific magic structure of it was that could increase the strength of an ordinary knight several times in an instant.

"It's a pity that it seems that its endurance is not very good."

However, this magic seemed to be very short-lived. After just over a minute, Jerome's strength began to fade, and after a few dozen seconds, it completely dissipated.

At the same time, the little devil also crawled out of Jerome's mouth, flew back to the sword guard and turned back into its original motionless relief shape.

Without the help of the devil, Jerome was instantly reduced to his original form, and was much weaker than before. He was chopped by a skeleton warrior's sword and flew away.

"Jerome!"

Kane, who was fighting side by side, was shocked and rushed forward to support Jerome, but at the same time, the skeletons in front also rushed up, and at once more than a dozen rusty cross swords slashed towards the two of them.

Seeing that the two were about to die, at this moment, Angel behind finally finished her magic preparations.

“Get out of the way!”

She shouted and raised the long magic wand in her hand. The next second, her magic burst out!
