There was a thick smell of blood coming from the river, and the atmosphere by the river was even more eerie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the necessary guards in the camp, the other guards and the travelers who had joined the party had already arrived at the river with their own weapons.

The river in the darkness and the smell of blood rippling in the air were staring ugly on everyone's faces.

An old orc came to the river's edge, reached out and picked up some of the water and sniffed it vigorously in front of his nose...... His wrinkled old face was distorted like a chrysanthemum, accentuating his already unusually large nose, and Merlin guessed that he had some kind of talent for smell.

"There is human blood, and there is also the blood of the orcs, and it is not too far from here. "The blood of the same clan made the old orc a little sad and a little awe-inspiring.

"Could it be that other caravans have encountered the enemy in this vicinity, resulting in a big battle?" someone speculated.

"Probably not, we're probably the only caravan on this road, and if there's really any war, how can there be no movement, and how can there be no one to escape?"

This is too weird, there is a quiet place around, and the river is full of the smell of blood, even in the undead plane, this phenomenon does not occur very often.

In Raymond's words, we also have peace-loving races on the undead plane.

"Leave some people to guard the goods, and some people go upstream with me. At this time, Leondo also rushed over, he was the master of this caravan, and naturally he had the final say.

Merlin and the others also followed, and Clay, who was Leondo's personal bodyguard, naturally followed.

Upstream, in the valley between the mountains, there is a small settlement, and at night, it is eerily quiet.

"Sure enough, it's here, and the blood is coming out of here. ”

The crowd was a little frightened, the weather was cold and gloomy, and Raymond had been hiding at the back of the group.

"Send a few scouts over to see if there's any danger. ”

"I'll go. Merlin took a step, although she was not the caravan's escort, but she had to give the caravan a shield, and she had to give some strength when the time was right.

Then three warriors came forward, and they were there to protect Merlin's safety. He was followed by two warriors in fine armor, Leondo's direct bodyguards, and the merchant was interested in his deal with Merlin.

Outside of this settlement, there are some strange plants, which are said to be a wheat-like plant from the undead plane, but the bread made from this plant is extremely unpalatable, and Merlin has always enjoyed the food she carries.

Following the path into the settlement, there was silence all around, there was no movement, and the smell of blood wafted in the air.

"What is this?"

Mei Lin raised her eyes, her brows immediately furrowed, and she saw many corpses scattered among them, and all the simple buildings in the settlement seemed to have been forcibly demolished by some creature, and became a ruin.

The largest number of corpses were found in the square of the settlement, more than 200 bodies, many of whom were children. When Merlin saw these corpses, her face was extremely pale.

These corpses included humans, orcs, and goblins, and their corpses were like those buildings that had been violently demolished, fragmented and incomplete, and all the corpses were without exception - all the internal organs were gone.

Thriller!

Merlin felt goosebumps all over her body, and even the samurai beside him gasped.

Merlin looked around, then landed on the ground, studying the footprints.

"The footprints were messy, but none of them were the footprints of the attackers. ”

"But there are some strange marks next to the corpse, which seem to be some kind of creature...... I'm leaning towards birds. ”

During this time, the samurai dutifully guarded her side.

"The wounds on these corpses are not cut by a sharp blade, but torn, like extremely sharp bird claws. And there are a lot of them, and they are not small in size......"

When Merlin returned, she gave Leondo an accurate account, and the warriors filled in the information she had found with their observations. It is difficult to determine the type of attacker based on this alone, and in the undead plane, there are many large birds of prey, most of which are social creatures, but it is still very rare to attack a settlement of considerable size.

"We had to get out of here overnight. Leondo said after a moment of silence.

Although Merlin and the others did not find any trace of the attacker, the place of the incident was not far from their camp, and judging by the degree of blood clotting, it was not very long, since the creatures did not attack them for some unknown reason, it was obviously the best choice to leave the vicinity.

It must have been a complaint to set out after a short rest period, but everyone knew that it would be troublesome to be targeted by the creatures that attacked the colony...... Especially at night, those attackers probably have a natural advantage, and the only hope now is that they will be well fed and will not come out overnight in search of food.

"Wizard Merlin, you said we wouldn't be beaten by the army of the undead. Raymond, who was sitting on the wheel of the carriage, said with some ease.

"If it were really an army of the undead, I'm afraid we would have been surrounded long ago. Merlin said calmly.

She now knows quite well about the plane...... Some places such as the Plains of Skulls and the Forest of the Dead, where the lives of other races enter and are often in danger of life, but in other places, the undead creatures are also in order, and even in a city, there are undead and humans co-existing, there is nothing strange about it. Of course, there are many prerequisites for this kind of 'peaceful coexistence'.

To put it simply, in this undead plane, in addition to the high-level powerhouses among the undead creatures, there are also high-level powerhouses in the human race and other races, but the power is much smaller than the powerhouses in the undead creatures. For the sake of balance or the interests of a superior, in some areas, they are controlled by powerful people of different races, and creatures of any race, as long as they abide by the relevant regulations in these areas, they can freely travel and trade.

"Raymond, as an adventurer, your courage doesn't seem to match your resume?" Merlin looked at the dwarf with some strange curiosity, wondering if what adventures he had been talking about all day were fake.

Raymond's old face turned red, fortunately, there was a beard in the way, and it was difficult for others to find out, "The danger in the process of exploration is accidental, and being surrounded by an army of the undead are two different concepts, I am an adventurer, but not looking for the dead." ”

"Well, there's some truth to that. Merlin agreed.

"Wizard Merlin, Boss Leondo, please come over. One of the guards shouted as he hurried to the carriage.

Still owed...... Beat!

Cancel tomorrow's rest and continue to make up.
