Chapter 83 Contract Clone
Chris, Nilu. Gray Steel Level Adventurer
Luo Qiu immediately thought of the interesting boy and girl he met at the Adventurer's Guild on his first day in Roserowe.

The young man invited him to form a team with unrealistic fantasies about the future, but was taught a lesson by the shy girl. The warm gesture between the two rarely touched Luo Qiu's usually calm heart.

Their wishes were simple and pure, just like the early morning sun, but unfortunately they were engulfed by darkness before they even rose.

Squatting down, Luo Qiu silently picked up two bones from the blood and rotten things on the ground, wiped them, wiped off the dirty dirt on them, and put them back into the 'infinite space'.

"Contract clone."

Luo Qiu's body swayed, and a hazy light appeared behind him. Three identical "Luo Qiu" walked out of the light.

The three "Luo Qiu" were dressed exactly like Luo Qiu himself, except that they had expressionless faces and looked like cold puppets.

Luo Qiu looked at the three clones curiously. He felt quite complicated when he saw three people who looked like him.

The skill of the Abyss Knight, 'Contracted Clone', summons three clones with only one-tenth of their own attributes. The clones can copy all the skills and props of the original, but all the effects are also weakened to one-tenth of the level.

"You two go and deal with the monsters in the city, and you stay here to guard." Luo Qiu ordered his clones.

The clones on the left and right nodded mechanically, and then they disappeared in a flash.

The clone in the middle stood quietly, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.

This kind of "clone" that was used as a scout when refreshing the dungeon would unexpectedly be put to such a use at this time. Luo Qiu was very satisfied.

After arranging everything, Luo Qiu looked in a certain direction. Since a while ago, the effect of "world perception" has been reminding him that there is a battle far beyond the level of Rose Lowe taking place in that place, which undoubtedly makes Luo Qiu very interested.

"Space teleportation."

The space in front of Luo Qiu flowed like water ripples and turned into a deep silver-gray gate. Luo Qiu took a step out and stepped into the portal. As the portal closed, Luo Qiu also disappeared from Rose Lowe, leaving only the three clones.

“Zhan Li, take Irene to the shelter quickly, I’ll delay time!”

"But you"

"Go!!!" Corriveau almost roared out these two words.

Not far from the Corriveau family, there was a two-headed lizard about the size of two elephants, covered with green keratin scales. Its limbs were covered with green-brown spikes, and there was a long snake-like dorsal spine on its back that extended all the way to its tail. Its two pairs of eyes were staring at Ambro, and the head on the right was still chewing something in its mouth. Judging from the blood that kept dripping, it seemed that a human who had fought with it before was poisoned.

The 'Soul Detection Device' was emitting an unprecedented heat, which deeply stung Corrivo's skin. If one took off the 'Soul Detection Device' at this time, one would find that Corrivo's skin had become as deep red as if it had been branded by iron.

All his fellow demon hunters had gone back to help their families, and Corriveau would not force them to help him at this time, so he took his wife and daughter alone, intending to send them to the refuge in the city lord's mansion first.

But I didn't expect to encounter a two-headed poisonous lizard, one of the most evil monsters, on the road.

Being targeted by the two-headed poisonous lizard, Corriveau felt as if his whole body was frozen as in an ice cellar, as if two poisonous snakes were constantly entwined and wriggling around his body. But what made him most heartbroken were his wife and daughter behind him. No matter what, he had to buy enough time for his wife and daughter to leave.

He had not expected that the previous conversation with the members of the 'Glorious Knights' would become a reality so quickly. Corriveau had no time to laugh at himself. He just hoped that his wife Zhan Li would take Irene away quickly. He estimated that even if he performed exceptionally well, the time he could buy would be very limited.

The trembling tip of the sword exposed Corriveau's inner thoughts. Was he afraid of death?
Of course he was afraid. Corriveau also had a vague wish. He longed to climb to the highest peak one day, return to the small village with dignity, and proudly tell his father that he had finally fulfilled the dream he had once given up and that his persistence was right.

However, compared to himself, Corriveau was more afraid that his wife and daughter would be hurt.

His wife had been waiting for him silently at home, and he could hear her gentle voice of "You're back" every time he came home after an adventure. And his daughter's innocent smile were all these things that Corriveau cherished most. When he thought about the possibility of losing all of this, his heart was shaken.

Zhan Li also realized the seriousness of the matter. She held her daughter's hand, looked at her husband's back, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Time was running out, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye. Zhan Li could only pray to the gods in her heart that her husband could defeat the terrible monster.

The fact that two prey were trying to run away undoubtedly stimulated the two-headed poisonous lizard. It shot a creepy look in its eyes and let out a low growl.

Corriveau rushed forward.

He had to take the initiative to attack, otherwise he would be killed instantly by the two-headed poisonous lizard's charged attack.

He swung his sword without reservation, the silver-white sword flashed with the brilliance of fighting spirit. All of Corrivo's thirty years of practice was condensed in this sword.

The will to protect his wife and daughter and the desire to survive were fully displayed at this moment.

Corriveau swung his sword with the best power of his life.

Even Corriveau had a vague feeling that he had touched another realm.

Maybe he could reach out to higher mountains.

But there is a prerequisite, he must be able to survive.

The silver-white sword light slashed towards the left head of the two-headed poisonous lizard.

Faced with such an extraordinary sword, the two-headed poisonous lizard showed a hint of human disdain in its eyes, but unexpectedly, there was no counterattack or defense at all.

Just as he was about to chop off one of the two-headed monster's heads, Corriveau had no time to rejoice before he found himself blinded by a green mass.

Corrivo only felt a pain in his chest, and then the indescribable pain spread to his whole body. The sword condensed with fighting spirit fell somewhere, and he himself was thrown far away because of the huge force.

It just happened to fall in front of his wife and daughter who were running away.

"Corriveau!"

"father!"

The two were horrified and ran to Corriveau frantically, tears streaming down their cheeks.

Corrivo's current appearance is indeed too miserable. There is almost no intact part of the armor on his body. It is all tattered. There is also a large dent in his chest, and some traces of his internal organs can be vaguely seen.

"Cough... cough cough... run! Ugh..."

Corriveau struggled to get up and wanted to urge his wife and daughter to leave quickly. As soon as he moved, he felt his throat was stuck and a large amount of blood spurted out.

Seeing Corriveau's state, Zhan Li and her daughter cried even harder, showing no signs of escaping.

"you…"

Just when Corriveau's face was filled with despair, a figure walked past him. Irene, who was crying, was stunned for a moment when she saw the man, and subconsciously called out, "Big brother?"
