"What on earth is going on here?!"
Main pointed at the pair of black wings that were slowly folding behind Akahime, her voice trembling.
The pair of wings exuded a cold chill and a frightening evil aura, which was completely different from any creature they had seen before.
"…"
"In other words, this Lord Gu Bo is a demon from another world?"
After seeing this scene, Najeshitan's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and her tone was still a bit unbelievable.
After all, this was too unbelievable.
"That's right."
Gu Bo came to the side of the few people and admitted it frankly, and didn't seem to be displeased by their hostility.
"But shouldn't demons be evil?"
"How could it be…"
At this time, Main couldn't help asking.
Originally, she thought that if there were really demons in the world,
Then they should all be the embodiment of evil as the legend says.
But the feeling that Gu Bo gave her was completely different from what she imagined.
"Haha, it seems that your understanding of demons is still in fairy tales, little sister."
Gu Bo couldn't help laughing when he heard what Marin said, and a hint of teasing flashed in his purple-red eyes.
"You, what did you say?!"
Marin was immediately embarrassed and annoyed when she heard it, her pretty face flushed, and she stared at Gu Bo angrily, but she didn't know what to say.
"Okay, Marin."
At this time, Najeshitan patted Marin's shoulder, signaling her to be patient.
Then, she turned her head to look at Gu Bo, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Mr. Gu Bo, thank you for your willingness to help Akame…"
"Since all this is a misunderstanding, we apologize for our rudeness just now."
Najesita bowed slightly and said sincerely.
"Don't worry about it. After all, anyone who suddenly sees a stranger will be wary, not to mention that I am a demon."
Gu Bo said calmly.
"Mr. Gu Bo is really magnanimous."
Najesita smiled after hearing this, and then seemed to remember something and continued:
"Mr. Gu Bo, since you have come to this world, why don't you come to our place to rest for a while?"
"Although our place is a little simple, it can also provide you with a place to stay."
Najesita's tone is sincere, and there is a bit of expectation in her eyes.
"This…"
After hearing this, Gu Bo pretended to be silent, and his eyes swept across the people present, finally stopping at Najeshitan.
"Well, in that case, I'd better obey your order."
Gu Bo nodded and accepted Najeshitan's invitation.
After all, he wanted to see what the "plot" of this world was heading towards.What direction should we develop in?
"Great, Mr. Gu Bo, please come this way."
Hearing this, Najeshitan's face suddenly showed a touch of joy, and she quickly stretched out her hand to signal Gu Bo to follow.
"Chi Tong, you talk slowly with Mr. Gu Bo, we will go ahead to explore the way first."
Najshitan blinked at Chi Tong, and then left quickly with the others.
In a blink of an eye, only Gu Bo, Chi Tong, and the furry little white cat were left in the originally lively valley.
"Meow~"
The little white cat seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little subtle, and called softly, and the golden tiger eyes looked back and forth at Gu Bo and Chi Tong, as if curious about something.
Seeing this, Gu Bo smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, White Tiger, stop making trouble."
Gu Bo said, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the little white cat's head.
The little white cat squinted its eyes comfortably, and made a few "purring" sounds in its throat, looking very happy.
Seeing this, Chi Tong couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"Let's go, it's time for us to set off."
Gu Bo said, and took the lead in the direction where Najeshitan and others left.
Seeing this, Chi Tong hurriedly followed.
…
At the same time.
Najeshitan and Brand and others were leading the way in front.
"Boss, are you really going to take that guy back to the base?"
Brand couldn't help but ask.
Although the others didn't speak.
But from their expressions, it can be seen that they, like Brand, are afraid of Gu Bo.
After all, Gu Bo's identity is too sensitive.
Najesita naturally understood the concerns in everyone's hearts.
She sighed softly:
"I know what you are worried about, but we have no choice now."
"Akagi has become that guy's follower."
"Even if we want to get rid of him now, it is impossible."
"Besides, you should have seen the aura he exudes."
"I am afraid that all of us combined are not his opponents."
There is a deep sense of powerlessness in Najeshitan's tone.
"For now, this is the only way we can do."
Najshitan smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, I believe that Mr. Gu Bo, he is not a bad person."
At this time, Hill, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Hill, how can you…"
Main heard this and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Najeshitan.
"Okay, now is not the time for malicious speculation."
"That's it."
"Let's go back to the base first and then make a long-term plan."
As Najeshitan's last words fell.
The valley returned to relative peace.
"Boss is right, let's go back to the base first."
Brand was the first to adjust his mood and said calmly.
Others nodded one after another.
They really need time to digest this sudden change.
…
However.
Just as Najeshitan was about to lead everyone back to the base quietly.
A chill fell in the valley without warning.
This chill did not come from the winter wind and snow, but from a pure killing intent, like the calm sea surface on the eve of a storm, hiding a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Not good! There is a strong enemy!"
Brand's face changed suddenly, and he reacted the fastest.
He has been wandering on the edge of life and death for many years, and has an almost instinctive foreknowledge of danger.
This sentence seemed to break some invisible barrier.
The air around him solidified instantly.
The temperature dropped sharply.
A few snowflakes fell without warning, drawing strange arcs in the air.
"Crack, crack, crack…"
The crisp footsteps echoed in the empty valley, from far to near.
Every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, bringing an invisible pressure.
"Who is it?!"
Everyone entered the battle state, looking around vigilantly.
Result.
But no trace of the enemy was found.
But.
The suffocating sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, as if there was an invisible sharp blade hanging over the head, ready to fall at any time.
"Hehehe… What a keen perception, worthy of being the strongest assassination unit of the Revolutionary Army."
Just then.
A cold female voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the valley.
But it was like a warning bell, ringing in the ears of several people, making people tremble with fear.
Najesita and others suddenly stopped, their pupils suddenly contracted, and their eyes looked at the proud figure standing not far ahead.
Even in this dark forest, the figure still exuded a dazzling light that could not be ignored.
That was a woman who was extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.
A gorgeous silver-blue long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying gently in the breeze.
The white skin was like the finest mutton-fat jade.
It exuded a lustrous luster.
There was no flaw in the exquisite and perfect facial features, and the deep ice-blue eyes were like two dazzling sapphires, flashing a cold and charming light.
"Esdeath…"
Najesita murmured the name in a low voice, and her already solemn expression was now even more gloomy.
Others also tightened their weapons in their hands, looking vigilantly at Esdeath not far ahead, ready to fight.
The youngest and strongest general in the empire – Esdeath!
Her name,For the members of Night Raid, it was as terrible as a nightmare.
They knew very well that this woman was so powerful that she was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"I never expected that I would meet you rats here."
Esdeath's bright red lips slightly raised, outlining a cold arc.
Originally, Esdeath only noticed the strange phenomenon in the mountains ten kilometers north of the imperial capital.
Out of curiosity, she rushed to check the situation at full speed.
Never expected.
I could actually meet the remnants of Night Raid here.
"It's really a good thing to find it without any effort!"
Esdeath licked her lips, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.
For her, there is nothing more interesting than hunting.
And these remnants of Night Raid are undoubtedly the prey she wants to hunt the most.
"It seems that I am lucky today. I encountered so many prey at once."
Esdeath said, slowly raised her right hand, and crystal clear ice crystals condensed in her palm.
Instantly, the temperature around dropped suddenly, and even the air was filled with a biting chill.
