Chapter XXXVII
Then all was safe. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The night was peaceful, thanks to the Aldo tree monster, the insects and mosquitoes were not disturbed, and everyone slept next to a pile of corpses the size of a house and did not care.
Phil got up early in the morning and practiced a set of knightly training by the river not far away. It was a little cold last night, and Phil didn't sleep too deeply, so he survived the night by the campfire.
The others also woke up one after another, everyone did their own thing, talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened yesterday, just like there were many people, eating breakfast, packing up things, and continuing on the road.
It's just that after all, there is still a difference, because Mayvis witchcraft has the ability to defend and control, so it takes Dylan's place, so that only Phil is left behind.
There was no fighting in the morning, and at noon everyone rested by a stream.
"Senior, how far has the mission progressed?" Mars asked Charlemagne as he stepped forward.
Charlemagne was opening the map and took a look at it by the way.
"About seventy percent," Charlemagne said mildly, "will be done today, except for one more night, and tomorrow will be back at school." ”
The task they took was a very simple and common task, just to draw an area around the school, and the person who took the task walked around this area, and reported if there was anything abnormal when they went back, a team of eight people, a total of twenty magic stone rewards.
Originally, Phil and the others each had two magic stones, and Charlemagne had six magic stones per person, but now there is one less, which is not easy to divide, but Charlemagne has promised that there will be compensation after going back, so Phil and the others have two magic stones unchanged, and Charlemagne gets the eight magic stones in the mission.
Hearing that there were still 30 percent left in the task, everyone was a little relaxed. But there is still vigilance, after all, we can't make a mess at the last moment.
In the afternoon, everyone shuttled through the forest, and the task was almost completed.
The end is an abandoned village.
These villages were left behind by those who had no hope of even being promoted to a third-class apprentice, and they were hopeless and unwilling to leave, so they signed a contract with the academy to serve the academy in exchange for the right to live near the academy, in the hope that future generations would have a greater chance of obtaining high wizarding talents under the constant radiation of the academy.
But such cases are rare, but as long as there is one example, countless people who have lost their minds will rush to it.
Now, the village under the feet of Phil and the others has been abandoned, and it is likely that the village is not able to survive in such a forest due to the lack of young laborers in the village, or they left early.
Everyone walked around and found a few dry bones, and they didn't know how many years they had been hanging here.
In the corners between the dry bones, there is a kind of dandelion, its seeds are several times longer than ordinary dandelions, soft like animal hair, in fact, some people use it to make clothes, and it will emit a faint fluorescence at night, very beautiful.
It's just that Pu Ying grass often grows where there are dead people.
Other than that, it's desolate.
Charlemagne breathed a sigh of relief, which should indicate that there was nothing unusual in the area. This kind of task is simple to say, but it also contains great dangers.
If there is no abnormality, it is okay, and happily go back and get twenty magic stones back to various places, but once there is an abnormality, there will often be casualties, and even the whole army may be wiped out.
In fact, the students who were sent out on this mission were bait, and I don't know if they would catch prey, but if the bait was gone, it must be a big fish.
The calm and desolate abandoned village gave Charlemagne a lot of confidence, he was basically sure that there was no anomaly this time, although it was rare for the bait to happen, but no one wanted to be bitten by such a big fish, even if the reward for detecting an anomaly would be greatly improved, it was not as important as a small life.
"Let's rest here tonight, and we'll be back at school by noon tomorrow. Charlemagne said that the crowd naturally agreed.
Everyone went to tidy up their resting place for the night, until the last Phil jumped onto a rooftop and looked around.
"Phil, is there a situation?" asked Thomas, below.
"No, it was quiet. ”
"Why don't you come down and try the tea I made?" Thomas was now friendly to Phil again.
Thomas's habit of drinking tea when he is relaxed, I don't know if it is deliberately revealed, Phil doesn't want to waste too much thought, after drinking Thomas's tea, it is already dark.
The night was darker, and the surroundings seemed more silent and desolate.
It was approaching midnight, and Yeda and Mars were on duty, each sitting on either side of the campfire, and had no intention of talking.
Phil slept with his back against the wall, not far from the campfire, his sword resting on his right side, his bow and arrows in his arms. This cold weather is not a night that can sleep peacefully.
"What's that?" said Yada, who suddenly looked up and listened.
Mars stood up, wand in hand, and did not speak, waiting for Yeda's answer.
After a moment, Jeda frowned and shook her head at Mars.
Mars sat down with doubts, Yeda and Phil were the best in their group, and Yeda should not have heard it wrong, but now that Yeda was looking at the fire again, he could only assume that Yeda had indeed misheard.
Phil adjusted in the dark, but he didn't get any feedback from the chip.
The moonless night flows in silence.
Jeda studied the sheepskin in her hand carefully, her ears catching the sound of the wind, but she didn't care.
A figure suddenly jumped out of the darkness, but there was obviously nothing there before, and this figure seemed to dissolve in the darkness.
A scythe slashed forward, and Yeda, who didn't react at all, was stunned for a moment.
"Ahh
The screams pierced the night sky, and Phil immediately jumped to his feet, grabbed his longbow, and quickly looked around.
Mars stood and held his wand, looking horrified. And the place where Yeda was originally located was empty!
"What's going on?" called Charlemagne, who woke up at this time.
Mars looked frightened and shook his head: "I—I don't know, a black shadow, a black shadow with a scythe!"
Charlemagne's face darkened: "The scythe ghost, it's the scythe ghost of Senluo Bone Castle!"
When everyone heard this, they all became nervous, although they didn't know what the scythe ghost was, but it was still clear that the Senluo Bone Fort Academy was the enemy of the Black Cell Tower Academy.
"How did the people from Senrobone Castle come here?" asked Thomas.
Charlemagne stood in front of the campfire and said, "It's not their people who are here, the scythe ghost is a harassment method for them, planting seeds where someone is dead, and when someone comes from behind, the scythe ghost will appear at night when he smells the breath of the living, plundering life!"
"How many Scythe Ghosts usually appear?" asked Mayvis.
Charlemagne looked around the village with some fear, and the countless pampas that glowed faintly that night, before replying: "There are as many sickles as there are deaths......
"Ahh......h
A figure suddenly fell out of the darkness not far away, and everyone immediately retreated to the side and waited.
The figure then stumbled into the bonfire circle, while chanting "help, help", it was Yeda, but now she was covered in blood, there was no place that was not tattered, blood flowed all over the ground, and her beautiful face became extremely terrifying at this moment.
"Oh, Yeda......" shouted Thomas, standing not far away, but did not come near to help her.
Charlemagne trembled with fear when he saw Yeda's appearance.
"Run...... Run!" he shouted, looking unusual, and turned to run out of the village.
Phil didn't say a word, it was too weird that his cactus chip didn't give him any warning this time, but Yeda's appearance showed that they were definitely in danger this time.
Thomas followed without losing half a point, and Alice, Mavis, and Mars had no other thoughts at this time, and tried their best to stay away from Yeda.
"Help...... Wait for me, help, don't leave me ......"
But Yeda's voice seemed to fall behind everyone forever, not far away, not close, looming behind everyone's minds.
Charlemagne explained as he ran: "Scythe ghosts have a huge advantage in the dark, but they can't be too far from the land of death, but if there is blood paving the way, they can follow all the way!"
Everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, and the speed was a little faster. No one said that they wanted to turn back and save Yeda or fight the scythe ghost - Yeda didn't even resist, only had time to let out a scream, and Charlemagne, as a senior, trembled with fear when he heard the news of the scythe ghost, all of which said a lot.
In the dark cloudy night, in the silent forest, a series of figures rushed wildly in it.
"Should, should chase, can't you catch up......" Mars was so tired that he couldn't even say a word.
Everyone has been running for a while, even Phil is a little out of breath, not to mention the rest, Alice is the worst, she aspires to be a wizard and she has not paid attention to physical exercise at all, and now she has not done bloodline witchcraft for herself, and she stumbled and fell to the side.
"Impossible, the Scythe Ghost will definitely catch up with Yeda carrying it!" Charlemagne said, looking back.
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Yeda's voice sounded: "You want to abandon me and die, all die!"
Yeda's figure floated through the air, cloaked, hysterical, and crazy like a ghost.
Without saying a word, the crowd turned around and continued to run.
But most of her strength was exhausted, and Alice ran last, crying and begging for help.
But no one looked back, even though they knew they wouldn't be able to escape far if Alice was caught, but it would be nice to delay them eating their prey a little longer, wouldn't it?
"Sister Jeda, don't kill me, don't ......" Alice really couldn't hold it anymore, fell to the ground, and turned around to beg for mercy from Yada in the air.
"Die, die......"
Alice was crying like rain, pitiful, but useless, Yeda had gone mad.
"Don't kill me, Sister Jeda!" Alice cried, her hands suddenly stretched out in the direction of Jeda, and the sound of the wind breaking in the night came
A decades-old tree fell down and pressed right on Yeda, and the huge weight immediately smashed her into a pile of blood slag!
The night breeze calmed down again, and the only sounds in the air were the creaking of trees and the whispering of Alice. Everyone stood in the distance and stopped, watching this scene carefully, no one blamed Alice, they only cared about whether the group of sickle ghosts would catch up again.
"Ha-" A black shadow holding a scythe suddenly burst out and pounced on Alice who fell to the ground, and with a swing of the scythe, it brought a gust of wind.
The wind ruffled Alice's hair, and the scythe finally whizzed half a foot in front of her.
