The sound of hurried footsteps slowed down as it reached the vicinity of the carriage, as if it was afraid of crashing into the carriage.

The three of them were attracted by the strange sound of footsteps, and for a moment they all looked in the direction of the carriage door.

As soon as the man in the carriage turned his head, he saw that the door on the side of the carriage had been opened, and an old face appeared.

It was the old mercenary who brought Zhao Xi over, but at this time, his face was not as calm as before, but a little panicked.

"Young master, there is a little situation ahead, please come with me to take a look. ”

"Oh?" Atticus was a little surprised: "What's the situation?"

"Hmm," the old mercenary muttered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, it's better for you to come and see for yourself." ”

"Okay. Atticas nodded.

At the same time, he turned his head to Zhao Xi and said, "Do you want to go with me to have a look?"

"Why not?" said Zhao Xi with a shrug of his shoulders.

Then the two left the carriage with a smile, and Buffy stayed in the carriage because he had just woken up, his body was still relatively weak.

Zhao Xi and the others didn't hear the sound of battle as they advanced, so it can be seen that what the mercenaries found should not be a creature like an enemy.

Soon the two of them came to the place where the situation happened, and there were already mercenaries around to surround the place, but the faces of these mercenaries were not so good-looking, and even a few of them turned pale, not knowing what they had just experienced.

Under the leadership of the old mercenary, Zhao Xi and Atticas walked directly into the forest surrounded by the mercenaries.

The scene of entering the forest made the two of them drop their jaws in shock, only to see that they looked at the woods that were still normal, and when they walked out, they found a cruel battlefield.

Pitch-black blood stains were all over the battlefield, and there were deep ravines in the land, and there were no intact trees in this battlefield, only stumps with smooth incisions.

Yes, the stumps looked as if they had been cut by a razor-sharp sword, and there was not even a single burr in the wound.

In addition, it is also very strange that there are no corpses on the entire battlefield, and not even a small scrap of flesh and blood can be found on the battlefield.

Even if there were no dead in this battle, judging from such a large amount of bleeding, it was impossible not to leave even a little bit of blood, at least there should always be some flesh and blood.

"Young Master, did you ever encounter this situation when you were in the Church Federation?" the old mercenary asked Atticas behind him.

"Nope. Atticus shook his head slowly and said, "Although this amount of bleeding seems to be the handiwork of demon believers, there are no altars and no sacrifices here, so it should have little to do with them. ”

"You say, could it be that some monsters eat too cleanly?" Zhao Xi touched his chin and put forward his opinion.

"Then if you eat so cleanly, shouldn't you even let go of blood?" said the old mercenary.

Zhao Xi did not refute after hearing the old mercenary's words, but fell into deep thought.

He also felt that his words were too inconsiderate at this time, and even if he longed for flesh, he would not get blood everywhere.

In fact, Zhao Xi's initial guess was very close to the truth, and indeed some monsters ate very cleanly, that is, the dragon-headed cane that I don't know where.

Atticas crouched next to the cut tree and slowly stroked the smooth cut with his hand.

"It's horrible," the blue-haired young man lamented.

"Huh?" Zhao Xi was also attracted by Atticaus's words, and looked at the severed stake where Atticas was.

"Can you do that?" Atticas asked, turning to Donne.

"Me?" Zhao Xi also squatted down and touched the smooth incision and said, "Reluctantly, I'm not too sure." ”

It's not that Zhao Xi is modest, it's easy for him to interrupt such a tree now, but it's a technical job to cut it so smoothly.

If he had slashed normally, only half of it would have been cut off, and the other half would have been shattered by his strength.

Therefore, if you want to make such an incision, strong power is only the foundation, and more importantly, the control of power.

Hearing Donne's answer, Atticas nodded and said, "One is fine, but what about so many?"

With that, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a large area of smooth tree stumps around him, judging by the density, there were at least hundred.

Zhao Xi looked at the large number of tree stumps and did not speak, according to his estimate, the person or creature that could cause this kind of scene must be much more terrifying than the gluttonous demon.

"Are there any other discoveries here?" Zhao Xi asked the old mercenary on the side.

"Not for the time being, only this one. The old mercenary shook his head and said.

"Didn't you find any other living creatures?" Zhao Xi continued to ask.

"Hmm," the old mercenary thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being." ”

"Then we should still be safe. Zhao Xi touched his chin and said.

Atticas stood up and joined the conversation, "You mean the creature responsible for this has left the area, right?"

"At least that's my guess. Zhao Xi nodded and said.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" the old mercenary stood behind Atticas and began to ask for the opinion of the young man.

"What should we do?" said Atticus, chuckling, "of course we should keep walking, or we will stop where we are and wait for someone else to save us?"

"I think the last battle Shodria must have been able to see it, maybe our people are already on their way. The old mercenary whispered.

"If you're really targeted by this terrible creature, it's useless to come with so many people. Atticas said with a relaxed face, "Unless my father comes in person." ”

"It's too unlikely. The old mercenary replied.

"yes! It's too small. Atticas turned his head to look at the old mercenary behind him and said, "So it's better to march normally, maybe we can slowly get out of this creature's hunting range?"

"This—" The old mercenary thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I see. ”

After saying that, the old mercenary withdrew from the battlefield by himself, and kept telling the other mercenaries something on the edge of the battlefield.

Atticas came to Zhao Xi's side and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying monster in the Black Forest. ”

"Maybe there is more than one such monster?" Zhao Xi said half-jokingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two young men in the forest glanced at each other and laughed together.

......

The sound of creaking and creaking sounded on the open road, and the surrounding grass exuded a fresh aroma.

The mercenaries near the carriage were talking and laughing, and from time to time there was a loud laugh coming from a few of the mercenaries who had gathered together.

Some of the small animals around were startled by the laughter and ran around, and there were even birds that flapped their wings and flew away when they heard the laughter.

Every now and then a gentle breeze blows, bringing coolness and the scent of flowers to the caravan.

It was the third day the caravan had come out of the Black Forest, and it seemed that the caravan had really used up all its bad luck in the early stages, so much so that they didn't encounter a single living creature later, let alone any powerful enemies.

Aside from being too lonely and bored, they haven't suffered any other special situations.

The mercenaries, who had been somewhat silent in the Black Forest, came out as if they had been given a new lease of life, and smiles reappeared on their faces.

In the past few days, under the careful care of everyone, Buffy and several injured transcendents have almost recovered.

The old businessman was slower to recover due to his age, but Dorne and Cook and Daisy had recovered almost a few days earlier.

I have to say that the effect of the potion in this world is really useful, and Cook's injury is the result of Zhao Xi's last world only in bed for a lifetime.

But in this world, just under the effect of potions and their own recovery power, such a serious injury can be recovered as before, and there is no appearance of being injured at all.

The same goes for Dorne and Daisy, but because of the bloodline, Daisy returns to normal much faster than the other two.

Although Buffy's consumption has not fully recovered, he can already walk normally on his own, and his face looks much better.

As for Zhao Xi and the others, it should be said that they are still the same.

Cornelia and Dorothy did not continue to level up and were stuck at level 20, but Cornelia learned some new magic during this time, and Dorothy became more proficient in the power of blood.

Zhao Xi... Because one didn't meet a monster, he was stuck at level fourteen and didn't move.

Seeing that his companions had left him behind, although he didn't say anything, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, he has gained something in these days, that is, his relationship with Atticas is getting better and better.

Through these conversations, Zhao Xi can already judge that Atticas is the son of a nobleman, and from the tone of his voice, he can judge that the power of this nobleman is not small.

However, he didn't inquire about which nobleman in Shudrea, after all, it was not good to inquire too clearly about some things.

As for why he was sent to the Church Federation to become a paladin, Atticas didn't say anything to Zhao Xi, but just said that it was his father's order.

When this matter was mentioned in the future, Atticas showed a very resistant attitude, so Zhao Xi did not continue to ask more.

However, Zhao Xi inquired about the church to which Atticas belonged, he was different from Darren, he was not a paladin who belonged to the Church of Wisdom, but another church in the central region, the Church of Justice.

The two churches are separated because they believe in different gods, one is the God of justice and the other is the God of wisdom.

Although they are two churches, their actions have always been together, whether it is to fight the infidels or to proselytize.

If there is a church of the Church of Wisdom in a city, then there must also be a church of the Church of Justice.
