"Who are you……"
"My name is Fang Zheng, and I'm an apprentice guardian knight of the Star-Moon City Temple. I'm here with Great Knight Shi Dong to assist you."
"From Star-Moon City... Are you saying that Knight Stone is here too?"
But to Fang Zheng's surprise, after hearing his answer, the knight not only did not show any joy, but his face changed drastically.
“Oh no, you shouldn’t have come here! This is a trap, damn it, we all fell for it… ahem…!”
Perhaps because he was too anxious, the knight started spitting blood before he finished speaking. Seeing this, Fang Zheng walked forward and held his shoulder. After carefully observing the knight's condition, he soon discovered that there was a deep scar on the knight's waist.
"Okay, don't get so excited. We are here for a reason, and you can't ask us to go back now... Anyway, let's treat your injuries first."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his hand and cast a Holy Light Flash on the knight. Then, a pure white warm light enveloped the knight's body. Under the illumination of the light, the bloody wound on the knight's waist healed rapidly, and after a while it was as good as new.
“So fast?!”
Feeling the comfortable and warm feeling, and seeing his injuries being healed so quickly, the knight was also a little surprised. Although he was just an ordinary knight, his strength was not as strong as that of a great knight like Shi Dong. But after fighting for the temple for so many years, he was at least experienced. He was sure that the healing technique used by Fang Zheng had completely surpassed the level of those trainee priests in the temple. Although ordinary healing techniques could heal wounds, they could not restore one's strength. However, the healing technique released by this young man could not only heal his injuries in such a short time, but also make him feel that his strength was quickly restored - this was at least a bishop-level healing technique!
Who is this young man?
At this moment, the knight was facing Fang Zheng, and he felt more and more confused. He did see the emblem that the other party was wearing, which had the mark of the temple, so it was naturally not fake. If Fang Zheng was a priest who specialized in healing, then he would not be unacceptable. But just now in the battle, Fang Zheng also showed a strong fighting ability, which made the knight a little unbelievable. A knight who specialized in both fighting and healing, and was so young? Why had he never heard of his existence?
"Looks like it's all right."
Fang Zheng didn't know what the knight in front of him was thinking. He just glanced at him and reached out his hand after making sure that the knight's injuries had almost healed.
"Can you stand up?"
"Of course, thank you, young man."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the knight was also stunned, then he smiled and reached out his hand, shook Fang Zheng's hand and stood up.
"My name is Conan, and I'm a knight of the 13th Division of the Bishops' Corps... Uh, why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, nothing..."
Facing Conan Knight's question, Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head, then he loosened his hand and took two steps back without making a sound. It wasn't that Fang Zheng was planning to do anything to the Knight in front of him, it was just that the name was too scary, and his heart jumped instinctively after hearing it... Although he didn't know what the hell this was, Fang Zheng felt that it was better to keep a distance from this man.
After all, this name was also very famous in his world, and he had killed countless people, making everyone terrified...
"By the way, where are the others? Why are you the only one here?"
"Why……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Knight Conan also sighed and then spoke.
"Here's what happened..."
The cause of the incident was no different from what Fang Zheng had expected. These knights were one of the pursuers of his body. Williams was already an enemy of the Temple, and after Fang Zheng had a fight with him for no apparent reason and killed several of his knights, the feud naturally grew bigger. In order to avenge their colleagues, the others were also looking for clues about Williams.
Since Fang Zheng was using the power of the Lich King in the wilderness, the knights naturally thought that the cultist must be related to undead monsters such as necromancers, so they searched and investigated all the way. Then the knights got a clue from an old farmer in a town - undead creatures have been appearing in Shadow Canyon recently, and it seems that there is a very powerful and terrible lich among them! The lich has been appearing and disappearing here recently, robbing children everywhere, and many children in villages and towns have mysteriously disappeared! After getting the clue, the team immediately reported it to the temple and then waited for the order from their superiors. Although they have already determined that the lich is likely to be the murderer who killed their colleagues, as knights of the temple, they must also obey orders.
But just as the team was waiting for the reply from the temple, the old farmer who provided them with the information came to them crying, hoping that they could save his grandson. Faced with the old farmer's pleading, the knights naturally could not refuse coldly, and they were eager for revenge, so in the end the paladins decided to go deep into the Shadow Canyon for reconnaissance. Even if they did not conflict with the lich, as long as they could collect more clues, it would be good.
But what they didn't expect was that all this was a trap from the very beginning. The old farmer who provided them with the information was actually a cultist!
He led everyone into the Shadow Canyon, and then led them left and right. Before long, the group of knights lost their way. When they realized that something was wrong, the old farmer had disappeared, and they had successfully stepped into the enemy's encirclement!
Hundreds of undead creatures surrounded the knights from all directions, and realizing that things were not going well, the knights naturally tried their best to break out. However, the enemy had too many people, and someone had cast a ban to close the transmission channel, so that these unlucky knights could not escape from this ghost place at all. Their main force had been divided and surrounded by the undead creatures, and the knight Conan in front of Fang Zheng was one of them who was separated because of the impact of the undead creatures. He also tried his best to leave here, but in the end he failed and was blocked by the undead creatures. If Fang Zheng had not appeared in time, I am afraid he would have died.
"I see."
After listening to the other party's story, Fang Zheng finally understood what had happened. He frowned and thought about it. Knight Conan glanced at him, then looked around in confusion.
"In any case, let's meet up with Knight Shidong first... Mr. Fang Zheng, didn't you say that you came here with Knight Shidong? By the way, the space here is blocked, how did you get here?"
"We were teleported here via the Star Road. As for why we are not together... I don't know either."
At this point, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. The few teleportations he had experienced after being reborn into this world didn’t seem very reliable. In the Dark World, he was directly sent to the Boss, and this time, he clearly teleported three people over, but now he didn’t know where they were... Never mind, there’s no point in thinking too much.
"What are your plans now?"
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng decisively put these troubles behind him and looked at Knight Conan beside him. This matter was obviously not something he could solve. Now he could only hope that the other two people were teleported to the same place. If they were separated from him like this, Knight Stone would definitely be fine. As for the girl named M... well, Fang Zheng would remember to burn incense for her on this day next year.
"this……"
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Knight Conan seemed a little hesitant. He frowned and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Originally, I planned to escape from these undead creatures and then meet up with the commander. After all, this is Shadow Canyon. It is not a good idea to act alone in a closed space. And I cannot leave here by myself..."
"Do you know where they are?"
"Of course. Before we disperse, we are evacuating to the Bloody River Beach. If they can break through the encirclement of the undead creatures, we should be able to meet up there."
"very good."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded, then he retracted his sword and gestured to Conan.
"Then let's head to the Bloody Riverbank."
