Chapter 41: The Shadow of the Nether

The reason why Wind Wolf Valley is called Wind Wolf Valley is because there are often strange demon winds blowing here, which sounds like a pack of wolves roaring, so it is called Wind Wolf Valley.

Huang Shang drove the wildebeest all the way and ran for three hours before arriving at the Valley of the Wind Wolf.

To put it mildly, Huang Shang wants to get rid of the bandits and maintain the stability of the party.

To put it mildly, Huang Shang's action this time was a little reckless, and he simply wanted to avenge Qian Xiaohao.

When there was still a mile away from the Wind Wolf Valley, Huang Shang gave up the wildebeest and switched to walking, so that the sound could be minimized.

Foggy?

Before Huang Shang really entered the Wind Wolf Valley, he saw a foggy patch in front of him, and the visibility was very low.

For the sake of safety, Huang Shang activated the combat mechanical skeleton in advance, grabbed the black knife with his backhand and moved forward step by step, cautiously observing the surroundings.

The deathly silence of Wind Wolf Valley was a little weird.

Could it be that those guys have already left Wind Wolf Valley?

Huang Shang had some doubts in his heart, but he felt that it was unlikely.

There is only one way from Wind Wolf Valley to Phoenix City, and if the bandits really leave Wind Wolf Valley and go to Phoenix City, then they will definitely encounter them on the road.

So the guard dug up fake news from the bandits?

If it is fake news, then Huang Shang's operation is too unsuccessful, and he may be kicked out of the Phoenix Army just by forcibly breaking through the city gate.

As long as you can avenge Qian Xiaohao, it's worth it.

Huang Shang did not regret this, and moved forward cautiously step by step.

"Smack."

The fog was too thick, and Huang Shang still accidentally stepped on a small piece of dead branch, making a crisp sound in this silent environment.

Huang Shang instinctively stopped and held the black knife across his chest, ready to respond to an attack that could appear at any moment.

No, nothing.

Huang Shang waited in place for a few seconds, and the silence in the Wind Wolf Valley remained unchanged, without even a sound.

A light breeze was blowing, and it looked like the fog would be blown away soon.

With the breeze came the smell of blood, which grew stronger and stronger.

How could there be such a strong smell of blood, and so fresh?

Huang Shang was full of doubts, and the situation of high mental alertness, coupled with the sensory enhancement brought by the combat mechanical bones, made Huang Shang sense that someone was approaching him behind his back, and he twisted his waist and kicked it in the air.

"Smack."

Huang Shang's kick was blocked by the other party, but he still had a back move, and the black knife in his hand unexpectedly cut through the void at a tricky angle.

"Smack."

The opponent's hand directly grabbed the black knife, so that Huang Shang had to stop the next attack.

"It's me."

A deep voice rang out.

Huang Shang looked at it and exclaimed, "Company commander, why are you here?" ”

"If I don't come, God knows how much trouble you're going to cause me, and it's strange if I don't clean you up when I go back!"

Li Jianfeng scolded lightly, but his eyes were vigilantly observing the surroundings, and then asked,

"Did you smell anything?"

"It's blood, it's very strong, it looks like there was a killing here before, and it's very intense."

Huang Shang replied calmly.

Li Jianfeng glanced at Huang Shang and chuckled: "The nose is not bad." ”

As he spoke, he flicked his arm and pulled Huang Shang behind him and said, "Follow behind, don't run around." ”

Huang Shang nodded and followed behind Li Jianfeng honestly.

The two walked forward less than ten meters before they encountered the first corpse.

The neck of the deceased was slashed open, and blood flowed from the tiny wounds.

The knife was not unsheathed, the bullet was not loaded, and it can be seen that the deceased did not even react at all when he was killed, and died very suddenly.

This was followed by a second corpse, a third corpse, a fourth corpse......

Huang Shang and Li Jianfeng walked all over the Wind Wolf Valley and found more than two hundred corpses before and after, most of which were the same as the first deceased, who died very suddenly, without even any reaction.

Only a handful of knives were drawn or triggers pulled, but to no avail.

All the dead had one thing in common, and that was a tiny filamentous wound on the neck, from which blood flowed.

"What are you thinking?"

Li Jianfeng asked Huang Shang, who was staring at the corpse in a daze.

Huang Shang stretched out his hand and touched the wound of the deceased, looked up at Li Jianfeng and asked:

"Company commander, what knife in the world is so sharp that it can leave only filamentous wounds.

In addition, the opponent's knife technique is very peculiar.

Why not cut the throat of the deceased directly, but make a loop around the neck? ”

Huang Shang said as he made a knife with his hand and made a gesture on the neck of the deceased.

If it were yourself, it would be fine to cut the throat of the deceased or cut off the other person's head with a single knife, but it is absolutely impossible to create such a neat wound like a work of art.

The murderer's blade swirled around the neck of the deceased, and every deceased was like that, did they all stand there and let the murderer slaughter them?

Even if you really don't move, it is very difficult to draw such a neat wound.

Besides, Huang Shang didn't believe that these guys would be slaughtered.

"Because the other party is not using a knife at all." Li Jianfeng said in a deep voice.

"It's not a knife, what is it?" Huang Shang looked puzzled.

Li Jianfeng said: "I know that there is a kind of thin and tough metal wire, which is sharper than the blade of a knife, and can easily cut a person's neck, and even cut a bone. ”

As he spoke, Li Jianfeng squatted down and pointed to the wound of the deceased,

"You see, this is not cut by a knife at all, but strangled like a rope."

Le's?

When Li Jianfeng said this, Huang Shang suddenly woke up.

The wound was really strangled out, but the strangulation marks cut directly through the skin and turned into a wound.

"Company commander, do you mean that someone used the wire you just mentioned as a weapon and killed everyone in one go?"

Huang Shang was a little shocked.

More than 200 bandits died at the hands of the same man, and each of them was killed in the same way.

If it's a knife, it's more direct to kill the enemy with one slash, and you can use wire as a weapon, which is undoubtedly a hundred times more difficult.

Who is so powerful?

Li Jianfeng's throat moved, his eyes showed a trace of nervousness and panic, and he squeezed out a voice from his throat:

"I've heard a legend.

No, it shouldn't be a legend.

The story was passed down by the veterans, and they would never lie to anyone, but very few people had actually seen it, so later people only regarded it as a legend. ”

"What legend?" Huang Shang asked.

"The Ghost.

The killer who used to be active in the Phoenix area suddenly disappeared twelve years ago.

Everyone thought she was dead, but today she reappeared and killed the bandits! ”

Li Jianfeng said in a deep voice.

Huang Shang's brows furrowed, trying to recall the events of twelve years ago.

He was only four years old at the time, and his knowledge of the legends of the Netherworld was very limited and vague.
