Chapter 388: Insect Repellent and Cologne

"What happened?" asked Lin Dongqi.

"An elite mercenary hired by the Knights Templar, he and his companions went to the creek to draw water, and their companions walked in front, but when they returned to the camp, they found that he was gone. Fawkes pointed to the campsite on the other side of the mountain wall: "Renard and they went out to search for it themselves, and they didn't find any suspicious traces, and the two buckets at the scene were still there, and the buckets were full of water, only the poor mercenary seemed to have evaporated from the world!"

"Didn't anyone hear any suspicious sounds?" Lin Dong frowned.

There were six mercenaries who were with them, except for the missing one, the remaining five people didn't feel it at all, and they talked and laughed all the way back, until the guards found that there was one person missing, and they realized that the companion who walked at the end was missing. Fawkes shook his head.

"It's a little weird!" Lin Dong decided to go down and see what was going on.

In the place where the mercenary last disappeared.

Renard repeatedly examines the dirt on the ground, intent on finding useful clues.

It's a pity that he has been searching for several hundred meters for two hours, but he has not found even a trace of it.

Lin Dong and Fox came down, the entire missing section was already full of people, not to mention that there were no traces at this time, even if there was, they would have been stepped on long ago. Fox kept looking at Lin Dong, as if hoping that he would make another final decision, but Lin Dong waved his hand: "Don't look at me, I'm not Sherlock Holmes! ”

"I think so too. Mao Xiong Zhao Da Niu smiled: "Maybe the attack site is not here at all." ”

"You mean, that guy put down the bucket and went to pee somewhere before being attacked by a monster?" Big Ivan speculated that the missing mercenary put down two buckets of water and ran to the side to pee, only to have a hidden monster swallow it alive.

"Impossible!" James sneered: "We have strict rules, anyone who leaves the team must report!"

"Then there is another possibility, that is, the missing mercenary heard the sound, or saw something terrifying, he put down the bucket, ready to draw his gun, but was killed by the monster!"

"Even more unlikely, we have a rule that anyone who finds something suspicious must warn their companions. James didn't think the missing mercenaries would take these rules on deaf ears.

"Then where did you say the missing mercenary went?" Big Ivan snorted coldly: "Could it be that he disappeared out of thin air?"

"It could be an attack from the air!" Bloody Mary judged.

"Sky?" Thomas listened and nodded, "It's possible." ”

"If the attack was straight down from the sky, striking instantaneously, and then grabbing the missing mercenary and taking him away, then this reasoning can be valid. Renard looked at Bloody Mary: "But what kind of creature can do this? What kind of creature can it be without alarming the five people in front of you, hitting with one blow and silently taking away the prey?"

"In our Holy Land, there is a kind of Wyvern that can spiral through the sky, but I don't know if there are any Wyverns in this Holy Land!" Bloody Mary looked at Philip with big blue eyes.

"Wyvern, I don't think it's a wyvern. Philip shook his head: "The attack of the wyvern likes to roar to deter the opponent, and at the same time, it is accompanied by a sonic boom wind, the sound is very loud, if it is really a wyvern, then there is no reason why the five mercenaries in front of him can't hear a sound at all." Also, for the Wyvern, we humans are very weak prey, it does not need to hide its whereabouts, if it is hungry, just fly down and kill, sneaky is not the hunting habit of the Wyvern! If it is really a Wyvern, then it will not be one person who is missing, but all of them. ”

"Not all wyverns are giant wyverns, there are also small wyverns that like to sneak attack. Bloody Mary still stood by her guns.

"Does Mr. Wood think it could be an attack by a wyvern?" Renard looked at Lin Dong.

"There is too little information to judge. Lin Dong waved his hand lightly.

is being discussed.

Suddenly.

On the other side of the makeshift camp, there was a commotion.

Renard was furious, grabbed a mercenary who was running towards this side in a panic, and roared angrily: "Calm, look at your cowardly appearance, as a professional mercenary, your appearance is really embarrassing!"

"Grand Master, it's missing again, it's missing again, this time it's Garmen!" the mercenary cried out with horror on his face.

"What, Garmen, he's missing?" Reynard was stunned.

"How did you find out? When did it happen?" asked Thomas.

"I don't know, I was talking to Gamen, I was standing next to Gamen, and then he was going to take over, and I was going back to get some sleep after work! I went back to the tent, and before I could lie down, Billy came to me and said that Gamen didn't go to take over, and I realized that something had happened to him. Billy and I hurried to find that one of his unfinished cigarettes had fallen to the ground......" said the mercenary as he led everyone to the place where the accident occurred.

on the ground.

There is only one cigarette butt.

There was a long soot in front of the cigarette butt, which proved that the owner did not finish smoking it, and only halfway through it fell to the ground.

The footprints on the ground also disappeared inexplicably.

Renard motioned for his men to give him a sapper shovel and dug into the ground a few times. After the earth was dug up, there was a solid rock underneath, and the sapper shovel dug up the sparks. Everyone saw clearly, it was not an attack from the ground, this kind of rock, it is estimated that no creature can quickly drill out, attack a person, and then drag him into the ground.

It's not underground, it's only the sky, and the problem is that no one sees the Wyvern.

Wyvern, no matter how small it is.

It is also impossible to take a person under the noses of the guards without being noticed.

"It could be a ghost, a particularly fierce spirit, it is transparent, its mouth can be opened very wide, bigger than a door, it opens its blood basin and swallows it alive. "Mao Xiong Zhao Da Niu took out the monsters in the ghost novels he had read and compared them, and found that there was a kind of devouring resentful spirit that was very suitable for this strange disappearance.

"It could also be a ray snail!" Big Ivan gloated, "I saw a movie about a kind of snail that can shoot invisible rays, and whoever it hits, then the unlucky ghost who hits it will be broken down by the rays." ”

"No, that decomposition will turn into a puddle of water!" objected to Zhao Daniu.

"It's seeping into the dirt!" said Big Ivan, earnestly.

"Shut up, Mr. Ivan, now is not the time for cynicism, if you still have the slightest sympathy, you should shut up! Even if you don't have such a thing, you should know that we are now companions, comrades in one camp. How do you know if the monster's next target isn't you?Wait until you're captured by the monster, that will make you appear wiser!" Renard was furious, because the two missing mercenaries were his men, and he was unlucky.

"I can be sure that the next target is not me, because I am standing by Mr. Wood's side. And you are in this situation because you do not listen to counsel. Philip told you a long time ago to build a tent on the rock face and rest on it to make sure you are safe. But you refuse to listen to persuasion for the sake of comfort, for the sake of individuality!" Big Ivan immediately countered: "Also, I hope you can always remember that we are companions, until we return to the surface world!"

Because of the quarrel.

People on both sides parted unhappily.

Fox had been paying attention to Lin Dong's expression, and she seemed to want to see something on his face.

Lin Dong made her look incomprehensible: "You don't think I did it, do you?" Fox, fortunately you have been standing by my side just now, otherwise I am afraid I will not be able to clear my suspicion!"

"Haha, dear wood, I certainly wouldn't think you did it. Fox amused Lin Dong's words: "Still, I think you know the truth about the attack. No need to deny it, I trust my instincts, my dear, I am a woman, I have a natural sixth sense, if you don't know the truth about the disappearance, then you must be thinking hard, and you will not have the leisure to joke with me like you do now!"

"Sixth sense, Miss Fawkes, I didn't expect you to have such an enviable ability!" Lin Dong owed his shoulder.

"And what is the truth of the disappearance?" Fox asked.

Ediko Kazama, who had been standing next to her, also looked at it curiously.

And farther away are the griffons of them.

All pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

Lin Dong smiled slightly: "I don't know what the truth of the disappearance is, I'm also looking for this answer! However, I smelled a fragrance at the first disappearance location and the second disappearance location! At first I thought it was a men's cologne, but then I found out that it was a scent of insect repellent." ”

When Fawkes heard this, he cried out, "You mean, that unknown monster hunted them because they hated the smell of insect repellent?"

Lin Dong nodded: "I suspect that this may be the case, but there is no direct evidence." ”

"Which of you sprayed insect repellent?" the griffin was frightened, but luckily she didn't, otherwise she might have died in her sleep.

"I seemed to have sprayed a little bit before I went to bed yesterday, what now?" said Big Ivan's face turned pale.

He doesn't care what others say.

But Lin Dong said.

He believed a hundred.

Now, he was terrified that he would be the next target of an unknown monster.

There were also several shadow warriors in the Dark Temple whose faces were very ugly, because they sprayed insect repellent on their bodies according to the habit of entering dangerous places, but they didn't expect that this action would lead to death.

Lin Dong groaned slightly: "I suspect it's because of the lure of insect repellent, but it's not 100% accurate, so don't panic." As for the next remedy, I think it should be better to wash it with water first, and the taste will be reduced. I don't know if it would be better to spray some men's perfume, you can try it. As for the attack, I suspect it may be some kind of large spider that hangs down from the sky, bites the prey instantly, injects venom to paralyze the target, and drags the prey up silently while tying it up!"

The griffins hurried into action, regardless of whether they sprayed insect repellent or not, and washed them all up and down before spraying perfume.

As for Philip, he went down to give Renard their advice.

Renard: They were skeptical.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Dong had already established enough authority along the way, then they would probably wonder if this was funny? If it was really a spider, the insect repellent should have an effect, how could it have caused death? And spraying perfume to prevent spiders? What kind of bad idea is this!

"My personal advice is so, as for your choice, I don't care!" Philip decided to give them advice when he was on the side of the human race.

"Thank you, Philip, we owe you one after another!" Renard nodded sincerely.

"What you owe is not me, but Mr. Wood. Philip turned and walked away.

"Do it?" said Parsons, a science maniac, who felt that this was completely inconsistent with scientific arguments.

"Let's do it!" Bloody Mary was more decisive: "Even if we do, it doesn't hurt! And if we do, the mercenaries' fears will quickly calm down, whether it works or not, it's a good thing." By the way, Mr. Thomas, why don't we make a real one with insect repellent? If insect repellent really lures the spider monster, then let's make a dummy, spray a lot of insect repellent, which should attract it, and then we make an ambush ...... on the periphery" R1152
