"Appeal ......"

A black dragon stopped at the edge of the woods, its nostrils spraying white mist, its hooves standing dead on the ground.

Kaede took off his hood, waved his hand to signal the centaurs in the forest to stop, and then looked at the clearing not far away.

After a month of non-stop travel, this group of black horsemen who set off directly from the Qicheng Witch Temple finally arrived at the tribe on the map.

This is the southeast of Qicheng, which belongs to the territory of the southern barbarians, so in order not to startle the snake, so Feng seems very cautious.

To be honest, Qi Chao is not afraid of the southern barbarians, and even has the strength to completely exterminate them, but although the other party is barbaric and reckless, he is a rat on the battlefield, never confronts you head-on, and always relies on the familiar terrain in the forest to go around in circles until he drags you down.

Therefore, since the sixteenth generation of the Witch King, the Qi Dynasty no longer bothered to carry out the southern expedition every year, and it is really tiring to do too much thankless work.

And whether it is a barbarian or a Qi Dynasty, the general living environment is almost the same, don't look at the magnificence of Qicheng, the people inside are either wearing cloth clothes or luxurious velvet.

But in fact, there was only one city in Qicheng in the entire Qi Dynasty, and the rest of the vast land was settled in the form of clans and tribes like the Black Fish Department where Zhuo was located.

Animal skin clothing is the most common thing they wear, most tribes can't even make iron swords every warrior has, and local specialties are their biggest source of income.

In this case, years of conquest do not bring any greater good.

The black clouds drifted in, the moonlight gradually dimmed, and Kaede touched the neck of the black dragon, and the beast, whose eyes could even glow red, quieted down and slowly walked forward.

Behind him, two groups of black horsemen followed, and the heavy hooves of the horses were silent at this time, like black clouds in the sky, shrouding towards the tribe in front.

It didn't take long for Kaede to reach the gate of the tribe, which was actually a gap left by the wooden hedgerow.

A click, crisp sound echoed through the silent night, and Kaede grabbed the reins and looked down.

I saw that the hooves of the black dragon had just crushed the skull of a human, and under the skull were broken bones that had long been covered with moss.

A black rider caught up and dismounted to check: "Feng Dawu, it seems that he has been dead for a long time, at least more than half a year." ”

"Well, be careful. With that, Feng rode forward and walked into the tribe.

There is a reason for being vigilant, because even at night, it is impossible for a tribe to have no light at all, but at this time the tribe is pitch black, and there is no sign of inhabitation at all.

Kaede narrowed his eyes, the king received information a month ago, and something happened here in just one month?

"Palm fire!"

As soon as the words fell, two teams of black horsemen rushed out from his side, lit the torches he carried with them, and lit up the periphery of a small tribe.

However, the sight in front of them surprised everyone.

By the dim light of the fire, everyone could see that the tribe had been uninhabited for a long time, and that the messy wooden houses had been netted to ashes, and that many of the houses had collapsed into ruins further to the center.

And in the clearing, on the dirt road, there are human skeletons all in sight, and they are entangled in an irregular way, as if no one has cared about them here for a long time.

"This skeleton ......," someone suddenly wondered.

Feng turned his head to take a closer look, and explained: "It's the people of this tribe, this tribe is a branch of the barbarian tribe, and their people's chest bones will protrude like chicken breasts. ”

"Stop the horse and check the nearby houses and bones first. ”

Kaede frowned and turned over and dismounted, as the strongest witch here, he had to be cautious at all times in this strange and unknown environment.

But the doubts in his heart are no less than those black riders, he thought that he came here to kill people, and then take away what he found, but he didn't expect it to be like this in the end.

After a while, the scattered black horses regrouped, and one of the black horses stepped forward to report: "Feng Dawu, everything is normal in the house, there is no trace of battle, but there are signs of dragging. ”

"The corpses on the ground were only white bones, and the cause of death was not discernible, but poisoning and witchcraft curses could be ruled out. ”

"Keep moving forward and look around. Kaede took the lead and rode towards the middle of the tribe.

But the further you go, the more suspicious you see on the road, the houses on both sides begin to collapse, and there are huge pits on the ground, looking inside, you can only feel the cold wind and inexplicable aroma blowing in your face.

And there were more and more white bones on the ground, and in the end, even every step of the black dragon would be followed by a clicking sound.

In the silence of the night, the moonlight faded away, leaving only the torches in the black rider's hands to bring some light, and the ground was so thick with bones that it was impossible to count how many people had died here.

Finally, Kaede pulled the reins again and slowed down the horse's hooves, because in front, in the center of the entire tribe, a huge black shadow appeared.

Seeing this, the accompanying black rider directly threw the torch in his hand over, illuminating the reality of the black shadow, and then a cold sweat flowed down everyone's backs.

Even Kaede frowned, with an incredible look in his eyes.

In the clearing ahead, a giant statue of about ten people hugged was there, the thick trunk of a tree covered with human faces, and the windless branches were covered with white corpses.

The corpses were swollen and unshapely, but under the white skin, which seemed to be broken at the slightest poke, green veins were constantly wriggling.

In addition to this, the corpse is also covered with white flowers, which are exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

One thing has to be admitted, the witch temple often experiments on living people, but this strange situation is still rare.

"Vomit ......"

The aroma entered the nose, some people were confused and intoxicated, and some people took off their head armor and vomited on horseback.

"Searing!"

Feng hated pulling the reins, as if spitting thunder, and the air around him instantly warmed up, but the aroma not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

There were even black riders who fell to the ground, their faces pale and unconscious, and there were black riders who fell to the ground and crawled towards the giant tree like beggars, seemingly very infatuated with the flowers on the corpse.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Kaede finally waved his hand, and a nameless wind blew in the night sky, blowing away the fragrance.

The witch spell in his mouth moved, and waves of fluctuations fell on the frenzied black knight, making them gradually regain their consciousness.

When everyone was normal, a leading black rider drove forward with a pale face.

"Kaede Witch, this is ......"

Kaede still had a calm face, and did not dare to put down the raised arm, maintaining the nameless wind blowing in the opposite direction, and said at the same time:

"Osmanthus, this flower is also osmanthus, this is a tree that grows in areas further south than the barbarian territory, but ...... It shouldn't be so weird. ”

"Everyone dismounts and depicts the witch formation on the spot!"

Soon, the professionally trained black riders set up their formation, and each piece of black jade was placed in a specific location to maintain the operation of the witch array.

At this time, Kaede breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his raised arm.

"Stay in place!"

With a command, Kaede ignored the black knight's dissuasion, grabbed a torch and walked towards the strange laurel tree.

The sound of broken bones was constantly heard under his feet, and fierce beasts seemed to lurk in the darkness around him.

He first came to the thick trunk of the tree, and carefully touched it with his hands, and there was nothing unusual about the hard bark.

Then Kaede circled around the Katsura tree again, found the lowest corpse, and squinted his eyes.

The small white flowers on the corpse were closed one by one, as if they had a life of their own, and the green veins under the skin were like tree worms.

The aroma of this osmanthus is indeed a little different, but the impact on the great witch of maple is limited.

After being silent for a while, Kaede, who couldn't see any doorway, stretched out his hand again and tried to point the corpse.

Like a soft milk cake, his fingers immediately sank in, but they did not pierce the skin, and at the same time, all the white flowers opened and closed more violently, and the giant tree began to tremble, and countless flowers fell to the ground and were blown to the other side by the wind.

Suddenly, a bulge rose from the ground on the side, and a dark green vine came out, wrapped up Kaede's arm with lightning speed, and pulled him to the ground, so strong that Kaede almost stumbled and fell.

But he was an eighth-level great witch after all, and he quickly stabilized his body, and at the same time, his body exerted force, which in turn pulled up the vines.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the vines snapped and burrowed back into the ground, and the section hanging from Kaede's arm quickly withered and turned into green powder.

Kaede hurriedly grabbed some powder and put it away, and at the same time turned his head to look at the dark holes on both sides of the road when he came, remembering that the black rider said that there were traces of drag in the house.

"Looks like you're hiding underneath......"
