Chapter 125: "Hunter" Island (2)
In the dark night, the owl's eyes quietly reflected the figures of Dawn and the others.
At this moment, Dawn and the others have entered the dark forest, the dense forest has long lost the daytime scenery at this moment, and the faint moonlight gives people a sense of gloom.
In this dark forest, there is only silence, the leaves of the forest are rustled by the wind, and the roar of the beast that suddenly appears from time to time makes people can't help but feel furious.
However, it is not an egg.
At least for Dawn and his party, not to mention this kind of king's hunting garden, even the New World desert island Dawn and a few people have not lived, and the animal force value there is not something that can be trapped by a mere wall.
Because Sora is an animal-based tiger fruit, the tiger's eyesight at night is six times that of a human, and so is Sora, who has changed into a half-orc form.
Therefore, in this night operation, Sora, who has excellent eyesight, is responsible for the reconnaissance of the surrounding environment.
Standing on the protective wall and looking inside, Dawn noticed that the trees around the wall had been cut down like firebreaks, but beyond this was the wall to protect the beasts from escaping, and he didn't know what the trees were cut down for.
"Is it because we need to use wood, and in order not to damage the environment of the hunting grounds, we cut down the trees on the periphery?" Dawn thought about it and put his doubts in the back of his mind, so let's wait and see.
After Dawn made the empty ladder, several people came down from the wall of six or seven meters in turn, and the scene that first caught Sora's eyes made Sora look around in an instant and enter a state of battle.
"What's wrong?" With the seeing and hearing of the color, Dawn first sensed that Sora was wrong, and the seeing and hearing color swept in the direction of Sora's viewing.
Hearing this, several other people also immediately entered the battle mode, ready to strike at any time.
"There's a corpse over there." Sora pointed in a direction full of darkness.
Dawn pondered for a moment and said, "Go over and take a look, Sora is careful to look around." ”
Follow Sora in the direction of the corpse, and when she gets closer, she realizes that there is actually a corpse leaning against the protective wall.
Looking at his dress, the clothes on the corpse looked very shabby, and the large and small wounds on his body proved that he had suffered many injuries before he died, but what attracted attention was that he had an arrow stuck in his neck.
"We also walked from the center of the forest before, this can't be the corpse that asked for help!" Although Sora has a big personality, her intuition is very accurate, and she can't help but guess what Uncle Tucker said before.
"It's very likely, and this corpse was obviously killed by man, even if the king didn't collect it, why wasn't it eaten by animals?" Tina's expression was uncertain, and she said solemnly.
Berry Good shook his head, "It's not clear, but let's not touch the corpse, maybe it's poisonous." ”
Dawn patted the shoulder of the silent Hawkins on the side: "Hawkins' situation is a bit beyond our expectations, please take advantage of the safety of our trip." ”
"I see."
A few straws appeared in Hawkins' body, and then he took out the card and placed it on top of the thin straw that was erected, turning over the card, the corners of Hawkins' mouth rose slightly: "The chance of our survival in this operation is 90%." ”
"So there's almost no danger left on this trip?" Naturally, Sora was the first to accept this answer, because safety means that you can continue to "take risks".
Dawn's curiosity was also completely aroused at this moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to move on, but on the surface he was still serious:
"Since Hawkins' divination shows that there is basically no danger, let's move on and see what the hell is going on here, but we must be careful not to be discovered, once our identities are revealed, it will be troublesome."
"Got it." The group nodded and continued towards the center of the hunting grounds.
Along the way, several people deliberately slowed down to keep quiet, but even then it only took thirty minutes to reach the center of the hunting ground.
As for why this is the central area so sure, it is naturally not what Dawn and the others think, but that there is a barbed wire fence as high as the outer city wall.
The barbed wire alternated horizontally and vertically to form an airtight net, and the dense holes were covered by horizontal and vertical nets, the mesh on which was so small that even the larger insects could not get in, and the whole iron mesh was covered with thorns like thorns.
Just by getting close to here, you can smell the smell of blood wafting through the air, and this pungent smell lingers in everyone's nose as if it has settled here.
After turning his fist and finding that there was nothing useful, Dawn and the others decided to take a look inside the iron cage.
Stepping on the empty ladder made by Dawn into the towering iron cage, several people walked down the empty ladder, only to find that there was more blood coagulated inside.
The blood stains on the iron mesh had dried up and turned black, staining the entire iron mesh black, as if the huge iron cage was like a giant beast that chose to devour people.
After walking around the cage for some distance, Sora found that almost all of the cage was covered with black dried blood, and there was also black blood remaining on the ground.
Hearing Sora say this, everyone's faces began to look ugly, thinking about the corpse before and the scene in the iron cage now, which reminded them of bad things.
"These dried blood stains are almost everywhere, and I can't imagine how many lives this king has hunted here, and he is almost in time for the slaughterhouse."
Sora pinched her nose with one hand and fanned her in front of her with the other, as if that would drive away the unpleasant smell from the air.
Dawn said with a serious face: "Keep walking further, we seem to have heard a little movement just now, we need to be careful, Sora, you go ahead and report the situation at any time, it seems that there are still some beasts here to avoid carefully." ”
"Leave it to me." At the moment, in the dark, in order not to attract attention, now Dawn and the others still rely on Sora's night vision for exploration.
Sora took the lead, and although she encountered a few wolves on the way, she didn't make any waves in the hands of Dawn.
After walking a distance of about 100 meters, Sora looked ahead and stopped with a soft sigh and reported, "Dawn, there is a hut here." ”
Berry Goode wondered, "How can there be a hut here, isn't it a hunting ground?" Was it a temporary resting place for the king? ”
"Let's go see first."
Dawn led the group to the hut, the dilapidated wooden door was unlocked, and the domineering color had already fed back the news that there was no one in Dawn's house.
Signaling that there was no danger, Sora pushed the wooden door open, and a creaking sound rang out in the darkness.
With the faint light of the moon, Sola surveyed her surroundings.
There was only an old hardwood bed in the dilapidated hut, and there was almost no workmanship in the bed, as if a few broken wooden planks and some straw were randomly put together to make a bed.
Sora turned her head to look and saw a few black food-like things scattered around the corners of the floor, but there was nothing left in the room.
No, maybe the little dried black blood stains on the walls, on the floor, on the straw bed are also a kind of "thing".
Walking out of the house, Sora shook her head and said that she hadn't found it, but she already had a bad feeling in her heart, and all the signs along the way pointed to that this was not just a simple hunting ground.
Just as a few people looked at Sola and wanted to ask something, a scream suddenly sounded in the quiet night sky.
