The black books began to appear slightly blurry.
Hilbert looked at the pendant in his hand and it was so hot that he had to hold the chain with his hand.
"Do I need to bring the book to the association and ask the magic controller or the sage to help me decipher the magic patterns?"
"No, not yet!"
The voice responded very quickly.
"Don't worry, Hilbert, don't worry! I need to verify first whether you are the direct descendant of the Chakus family. After all, I am just a book, and time continues to consume the magic power in the book. Although I can confirm that you are of the family bloodline, I cannot determine the purity of the bloodline, which is crucial."
Zhao Kai kept his eyes on Hilbert. He could clearly feel the temperature in the car rising. That was because the pendant under the chain in Hilbert's hand was emitting high temperature.
The pages of the black book began to turn automatically, and Hilbert communicated with the book in a low voice without any distraction.
The vehicle was speeding along the right side of the road, so the passenger seat was shrouded in the shadow of the trees outside the car most of the time.
This made Hilbert and the book seem slightly gloomy.
This situation made Zhao Kai feel a little inexplicably uneasy, and he seemed to see Hilbert taking out a sharp knife.
"Hilbert, what are you doing? Hilbert! I feel something is wrong! Do you hear me?"
Zhao Kai's voice sounded very far away in Hilbert's ears, as if something was interfering with his reception of other information, but he himself was unaware of it.
"On page 13, there is a black circle. Yes, it's right here. Cut your index finger and press it there. I will know whether your bloodline is pure and release the power of the oath."
Qin Xiaoxia whispered on the roof, keeping a close eye on Hilbert. The magic power hidden in Hilbert's body had quietly spread to the edge of his soul.
'Hilbert, what would you do?'
Hilbert in the car gently cut the index finger of his right hand, and bright red blood flowed out.
"Come, repeat after me. In the name of the direct bloodline of the Chakus family, I release the sworn..."
Hilbert's mouth opened and closed, the sound coming out along with the whisper in his ear.
"In the name of the direct bloodline of the Chakus family, I release the oath..."
“Squeak~~~~~~”
A violent braking sound was heard, and everyone in the city felt the strong inertia caused by the vehicle's sudden braking at high speed, but their strong physical fitness prevented them from leaning forward too much.
"Bang~"
Zhao Kai punched Hilbert hard on the side of the face.
"Wake up! Hilbert! What are you doing!!"
The latter felt the pain on his face and shook his head. His bloody index finger had already pressed on the page of the book, but the words in his mouth were interrupted midway.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
A faint mist of ink overflowed from the cracks in the book, and evaporated and disappeared when it reached a distance of more than ten centimeters from the outside of the book.
Hilbert was breathing heavily, as if he had just expended a considerable amount of energy, and he was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Thank you, Zhao. I was too impatient. Let's go back to the association!"
Hilbert put the book back into his pocket.
Just as Zhao Kai was about to speak, the people in the car heard a hoarse voice at the same time.
"It seems that you don't trust me, Hilbert. You have a good companion, but good intentions can sometimes lead to bad results. Your blood tells me that you are indeed a direct descendant of the Chakus family. Since you still don't believe me, then go find the Sage of Dawn!"
"But before that, run quickly. A powerful demon is imprisoned in the Book of Oath. You pressed the blood seal and activated the Book of Oath, but you did not release the power of the oath, causing the aura of the demon cage to leak out... Run quickly, the monsters nearby will be attracted by this aura. Don't let the demon be released!"
There was helplessness in his voice, and he kept urging them to flee quickly, and then there was no other response.
This made Hilbert and Zhao Kai a little confused. The latter frowned but stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
"Woo~~"
There was a strong feeling of being pushed back, and the vehicle started quickly again.
"Zhao, how credible do you think the voice just now is?"
"I don't know. I hope I didn't make a mistake and affected you. Anyway, hurry back. At my speed, I can reach the nearest secret place in just one hour."
The road is surrounded by towering vegetation, as if isolated from the world, and the surrounding area seems a bit quiet.
After driving for more than ten minutes.
"唳~~~~"
The whistling sound came from far away and gradually got closer. The car windows were vibrating slightly, making the people inside the car feel a little nervous.
Zhao Kai and Hilbert looked at each other, and it was obvious that beads of sweat appeared on both of their foreheads.
The newcomers may not understand, but both of them have magic injected into their arms by the magic controller. At this time, the arms have turned from slightly hot to burning hot, indicating that a strong crisis is approaching.
…
A few kilometers away, at a distance of several hundred meters, more than a dozen monsters of varying sizes were running fast, and two were flying in the air.
Each of these monsters has a powerful aura, and their high-speed movement is accompanied by continuous shaking of the ground.
“Roar~~” “Boom~”
The giant beast in front did not avoid a huge tree that several people could hug on the road ahead, and directly and violently crashed into it and broke it.
Among the monsters there was a magical creature whose entire body was as black as ink, and whose shape was blurred between a shadow and a four-legged giant beast. It was constantly emitting magical power that made its shape blurry, and a sharp scream came from its mouth.
They obviously had a clear target and were rushing forward at a crazy high speed.
However, unlike its ferocious and anxious appearance, the monster seemed extremely frightened inside.
Many powerful monsters have high intelligence, and this is especially true for magical creatures.
If I were to describe the inner thoughts of these monsters at this moment, it could probably be summed up as "Where am I, what am I doing? Why can't I control myself?"
Especially for magical creatures, they can feel that they can't even control their own magic. This kind of terror is equivalent to telling themselves clearly that the line between life and death is controlled by others.
Invisible threads of magic extend from these monsters.
These threads are not affected by any terrain and will not be cut by branches or stones. They extend all the way up to the sky and end up connecting to a glowing figure, who is the Holy Spirit controlling the monsters below.
At this time, the wings woven with silk threads behind the Holy Spirit did not flap, but like a kite, it allowed the monster below to carry it away.
The fingers made of light would occasionally move, and the monsters below would howl to the sky and the earth.
Soon, the trees ahead became much sparser, and behind a mound of huge rocks was the road.
“Boom~” “Boom~”…
When the first few huge rocks were smashed, a huge long-legged monster rushed out of the mound.
Zhao Kai's car happened to be driving at high speed at this moment, and the timing was so coincidental that it seemed as if he had hit it intentionally.
"Damn it!!! Get out of the way!!"
Hilbert yelled in the passenger seat.
"These monsters can block our perception!!"
“Bang~” “Bang~” “Bang~”…
At this moment, he and Zhao Kai took out the magic steel hand cannon and fired directly at the front windshield.
“Boom” “Boom” “Boom~”…
The huge rock blocking the way of the car was smashed and blasted away. The vehicle scraped past several rolling large rocks and hit countless small gravel before it barely rushed through.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Hilbert fired his machine gun continuously at a monster in front of him, but the big guy seemed to violate the law of inertia and did not rush to the predicted position. Instead, it avoided all the magic-destroying bullets as if it was being pulled.
The pupils of everyone in the car shrank.
A shadow loomed above his head, and a strong sense of oppression came over him. Zhao Kai made a sharp turn and drove off the road.
With a loud "bang", the vehicle shook violently and rolled over.
A deep pit was trampled out where the vehicle was just now, and the vehicle clearly avoided it, but the giant foot was incredibly agile and immediately followed and kicked the side wall.
It rolled and bumped all the way, and finally stopped when it hit a big tree with a "bang".
“Abandon the car!!”
There was an urgent shout from inside the car, and several doors were kicked open from the inside. Eight shadows jumped out of the car at the first moment.
Swoosh!
Just a second later, a huge sickle-shaped blade passed through the vehicle's location.
The vehicle and the tree were cut off completely, and Fox and another girl who were also in the attack range could only barely avoid it, with even their clothes being cut by the blade.
Click, click, click... bang~
The big tree fell to the ground.
“Roar~~~” “Cry~~”…
The roars were all around us, some were still hidden behind the dense vegetation, and some were already in sight.
"We are in big trouble now..."
Gather together and be on guard around.
Zhao Kai supported his left arm that was dragging on the side with his right hand, and with a "click", he straightened his left arm that was dislocated due to the side kick of the giant beast on the driver's door.
"How many magic-breaking bullets do you have?"
Hilbert asked the six newcomers.
"20 rounds", "16 rounds", "17 rounds"...
Newcomers do not have enough points to earn their own advanced weapons, and all they have are regular-model magic steel hand cannons that they rent.
"We'll create an opportunity later. You all shoot together. Don't try to escape before you kill them all or force them back. We can't outrun them. Be careful around you. These are not ordinary monsters!"
Hilbert spoke boldly but he was actually feeling uneasy. The magic power in his and Zhao Kai's arms was stirring, and the most dangerous thing had not yet appeared.
The insect-shaped monster with giant sickle-like foot blades reappeared, and another long-legged monster more than ten meters tall also stomped towards them.
"Get started, get rid of this bug first!!"
"Bang" "Bang"
Zhao Kai and Hilbert's figures blurred, and a shallow pit was blown up on the spot. They took out their weapons and instantly hit the two sides of the insect monster from the left and right.
“Dang”, “Dang”… “Boom”, “Dang”…
“Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
The intensive sound of clashes was accompanied by the continuous blast of hand cannons. When the giant foot stomped over, Zhao Kai and Hilbert dodged.
Zhao Kai's hair stood on end as he jumped, and the steel claws of his arm armor blocked one side.
"Bang"
Like a cannonball, he was knocked away by a beetle that shot out of the woods, but he didn't leave for long before he stepped on a tree in his flight path and jumped back to his companions.
"Are you okay?"
Hilbert asked in a low voice.
"fine!"
Zhao Kai shook his arms and resisted the urge to vomit, but his internal organs were still churning.
"At least one was destroyed!"
Not far away, the giant blade-legged insect had several holes on its body, and most of its legs on both sides were broken off, so it could only shake there.
The Holy Spirit glanced at the bug in the air.
"I'm not very proficient yet...but there are plenty of opportunities to practice."
…
Powerful monsters kept appearing around. In less than ten minutes, from the initial two, there were now more than a dozen monsters.
The eight people tried their best, but they only killed one, which was the insect monster at the beginning. The other monsters were at most injured, but they still lingered around.
They are now in a miserable state and have fallen into a desperate situation.
Four of the six newcomers fell down. They were brushed by a black shadow that suddenly appeared. They were all exhausted and had splitting headaches. At this moment, they could only endure the pain of almost fainting and lay under a tree looking at the backs of their teammates in front of them.
Zhao Kai's legs were stepped on by the giant beast and his lower body was almost shattered. He used the Flower of Life to prevent his injuries from getting worse, but he had to return to the association to recover. Now he can't move.
Hilbert was also hit several times. Although he was not seriously injured, he had minor wounds all over his body and was extremely mentally and physically exhausted. Zhao Kai could only shoot from behind. His pressure increased by more than twice, and his breathing was as heavy as a broken bellows.
"Hilbert...it seems...I have harmed everyone..."
Zhao Kai's face was covered in sweat. He endured the pain in his legs and held the magic steel hand cannon tightly.
"Oh...oh...no, it's my fault. I was too impatient and acted stupidly in the car!"
The monsters around seemed to have hidden themselves, and the few people could not sense where they were. The hidden magical creatures were too terrifying.
"They seem to be waiting for our weakness?"
Fox was panting heavily and using burst techniques frequently, overdrawing too much physical strength in a few minutes. These ghost things were too strong and their predictions of the attacks on the eight people were terribly accurate, which made the newcomers feel desperate.
Before anyone could respond to this guess, everyone felt a chill stimulating their bodies. A strange black shadow appeared about ten meters in front of them and turned into a four-legged monster with magical power emanating from its body like a moving shadow.
Its eyes swept across everyone and finally focused on Hilbert.
"I'm afraid they want you to hand me over..."
The hoarse voice sounded again, and everyone was stunned. The battle was so intense that they almost forgot about the book.
Isn’t the current situation just as the voice in the book says?
