holy flame

When the three men were also sober, the atmosphere became quiet and slightly weird.Samuel leaned against the trunk, Eric rolled up a large leaf in the corner to catch the water dripping from other leaves, and Julian sat in the corner and seemed to observe his surroundings.

The main reason for the weirdness lies in Eric and Julian. They can fight side by side when needed, and entrust their backs to each other indifferently, but this does not mean that they can make peace with each other without any grudges at this stage. Fun to be around, especially with a Samuel around.

"I'm going to bed." After simply rinsing his mouth and washing his face, Eric lowered his head and shook his wet hands, and then found a fairly flat place to lie down on his own.

Julian also patted the dust on his legs and stood up—although it made no difference whether his pants were patted or not: "I'm going to find food." Animal blood can also be food for vampires, but it's not as delicious and satisfying as human blood. belly.

"Be careful." Samuel nodded, and Julian smiled at him and slid down the tree.

Seeing his back disappearing into the darkness, and Eric lying in the shadows, Samuel looked down at his boots, thinking about how the three of them would get along.Is it going to be Eric by day and Julian by night?Even if he can stay awake 24 hours a day, this feeling is too uncomfortable.

A slight rustling sound suddenly interrupted Samuel's hard thinking. Although the sound was well hidden by the sound of the night wind blowing Buddha leaves, Samuel still caught it abnormally.Something was approaching them from a higher position in the canopy.

Samuel still kept his head down in contemplation, and just glanced at Eric from the corner of his eye. He also kept lying on his side, but his muscles were already tensed because of his guard, obviously the same Perceived the approaching danger.

The rustling sound disappeared, but it wasn't that the thing was gone, but that it was observing from a nearby place...

Samuel and Eric jumped to the left and right in an instant, and a huge black shadow landed on the tree trunk they had just rested on. It looked like a lynx, but it had pure black fur, and its size was far beyond ordinary Bobcats, not including the tail, are at least three meters long.

The lynx missed a hit and immediately jumped at Eric who had just fallen on a branch below. In a hurry, while rolling and dodging, Eric broke off a twig and threw it towards the lynx.The lynx didn't care about the resistance of the prey "Xiaoxiao". In its head, it obviously didn't think that the branches could reach it, but what about the branches infused with fighting spirit?

"Meow——!"

When the lynx's paw was about to catch Eric, the branch pierced its left eye accurately. The lynx screamed, and the movement of the paw paused. Samuel, who arrived in time, took Eric from Dragging out from a dead corner, the two of them jumped off the giant log at the fastest speed, and the bobcat, who lost his sight, hissed frantically and jumped down behind them.

Once again, he rolled and dodged the lynx's swoop and its steel-whip-like tail.The rocks and wooden sticks that Samuel and Eric picked up casually were not real weapons even though they were infused with grudges, and the bobcat was also prepared. These little things just added some flesh wounds to the bobcat and made it more Angry, but with little real meaning.

The two former paladins missed their long sword and armor at the same time. Their strength and fighting skills are actually not familiar with this big cat, but the other has sharp claws and sharp teeth, but they only have flesh and blood, so they can only be beaten passively .The only fortunate thing is that there are two of them, and they can support each other when necessary. If there was only one, they would have already entered the Bobcat's stomach by now.

"Damn it!" Samuel hadn't gotten used to his wings very much, and he always stumbled a bit in his actions. Just now, because his wings were caught by a branch, he was almost cut open by the bobcat's paw.The lynx seemed to have sensed the reason for the prey's distress, so it even temporarily abandoned the enemy who blinded one of its eyes, and drove Samuel towards the bushes and thorns.

It didn't take long for Samuel to get himself covered with thorns, and a strange thing happened to him if it wasn't enough—his wings didn't hurt, no matter those little thorn balls with barbs pricked him. No matter how bloody it was, the wings were still clean and golden.

Samuel thought of the golden feather that blew himself into the upper middle...

Eric was delighted to find a stone the size of a human head—there were so few rotting leaves and branches under the giant tree—and he was about to hit the cat with it.But before he could make a move, Shan Mao screamed again.It was not clear from his direction what had happened, but it was clear that it wasn't Samuel who was hurt.

At first, he relaxed, and then Eric almost poured the blue-gray stone into grey-white grudge, and then the stone flew out and hit the back of Bobcat's head.

The bobcat shook twice, and took two steps forward, not to attack anyone this time, but to escape.But it was obviously too late, it shook twice and fell to the ground.

"Samuel, are you injured?!" Eric ignored the dead monster and rushed directly to Samuel.The latter frowned, clutching the tip of his left wing.

"No, I just pulled out two feathers." Samuel's expression was completely inconsistent with what he said, and Eric felt that he was almost twisted in pain.Samuel noticed his worry and disbelief, gritted his teeth and said, "It's true that there are only two feathers, but it hurts too much!"

It didn't feel like he had lost two hairs, but like someone stabbed his pain nerve twice, and the pain was not short-lived, but continued tenaciously until now.He didn't scream out, because his endurance was strong enough.

The howl of an unknown creature sounded in the woods, waking up the two people who were still because of pain and worry.Samuel braced himself to his feet and Eric retrieved his two feathers - they didn't explode like the ones Samuel had enjoyed himself, apparently because he hadn't mastered the attack properly usage.

But this thing is obviously a better conductor of battle energy than stones, wood, or even their previous weapons.It even magnified the power of fighting spirit, and opened two big holes in Bobcat's chest and stomach respectively.

The two returned to the branch. Although the attack from the lynx told them that this place was not safe, it was much better than being down there.Now a group of carnivorous monsters of different shapes are eating the body of the bobcat.The night in this forest is much more lively than the daytime...

But in the second half of the night, apart from two snakes with no eyes, there was nothing to disturb them.But Samuel and Eric stayed up all night, staring wide-eyed at the darkness that surrounded them.But at dawn, the person who made them wait didn't come back.

"Samuel." Eric whispered worriedly.

"I..." Samuel looked at the newborn sun with dull eyes, what did he want to say?Shouldn't Julian have gone alone?But if he followed, Eric who stayed here would face the Bobcats alone.Although I don't know what happened to Julian, but can he say that it was wrong for him to choose to stay?

"We went to find him, he can die and live again, he won't be so short-lived."

"Of course." Even though it was awkward for the three of them to get along with, even though Eric really didn't know how to build a good relationship with Julian, he knew that Samuel loved that person, so that's enough...
