Last night, a rain fell unexpectedly, and the mountain road became very muddy.

But even so, after the arrival of the last man, the raiding party did not delay long, and set off for its destination early the next morning.

The slender iron shoes of the great swords stepped into the sparse sand and mud, leaving a clear footprint, and the smooth stones had to be walked with caution to avoid accidental trouble.

The rain accumulated on the branches and leaves of the trees dripped down their hair and shoulders from time to time, bringing a little coolness, and also soaking their clothes, if they were ordinary people, it was very likely that they would get sick if they walked all the way on a cold winter day, but the four blonde women with silver eyes were not worried, and still maintained a general formation.

They rarely spoke along the way, and the expressionless expressions on their faces were the same, probably because they were still affected by the bad environment around them.

Although their bodies are no longer completely human, their emotions and consciousness are still on the side of human beings, and they are not fundamentally different from ordinary people.

……

After only an hour's walk from the town of Hermel, the side of the road became narrow, and turning into the mountain path completely made the group of four disappear from the sight of fear that passers-by had tried to hide.

"Ah, it's finally here!" A man shivering from the cold stood up on the rock in the corner, although his eyes still had a look of fear, but when he saw these four great swords with faces as heavy as ice, he actually had a relieved expression.

The man took out the note he had been holding in his arms and handed it to the leader with a big sword combed on his back.

"I'm just delivering a message, I don't know anything else, so I take my leave."

He moved his stiff legs and walked away as if he were running away.

This sudden scene made the four of them stunned.

"Jane, look at what is written on this." Said another short-haired broadsword in the team.

The big sword with the note in her hand was the captain of this crusade, Jane, who was ranked No.9, she frowned slightly, and this unusual beginning made her feel a little bad in her heart, as the captain.

She looked down at the unfolded note in her hand.

"You are going to face the people of the abyss in the west, so if you don't want to die, give up this mission as soon as possible."

Jane read out the contents of the note, and for a moment Jane's face was very unpleasant.

"The Man of the Abyss? What is that? The companion in the team who didn't understand asked.

As a single-digit ranking sword in the organization, Jane still has easy access to some information, she knows about the Abyssal Ones, and explains them to her companions with a solemn expression.

"Maybe it's the cunning suspicion of the Awakened, don't easily believe this kind of information from unknown sources."

Looking at the two warriors in the team, who were obviously still relatively immature, showed wavering expressions, Zhen Lang said: "If the opponent is really not an existence that we can deal with, I will cover everyone's retreat." ”

Although there was a slight change in mood, the four-person raiding team soon set out on the road again, but they didn't expect that as soon as they reached a small fork in the road, everyone saw a few lines written on the muddy road after the rain.

"When you perceive the Abyssal One, it will be too late, for then she can perceive you too. Turn back quickly, or be prepared to die at any moment. ”

A big sword swept away the handwriting on the ground, and the woman with ordinary long hair withdrew the big sword and said angrily: "Who the hell is pretending to be a ghost!" I really want to hack him! ”

"Don't lose your cool, look carefully at the handwriting on the ground, it should have been written not long ago, and we didn't perceive the demonic energy, did we?" The person who spoke had short hair, and his voice sounded much more mature than the one with long hair.

"Kelly, what do you mean?" Jane looked at her companion who was the last to speak.

"Either the Awakened is suspicious and well hidden, but its own strength is insufficient, or the people who remind us are really kind and hope that we will not be sent to death." Kelly shrugged helplessly, and continued, "Don't ask me why this happened, I can't guess. ”

After Kelly's reminder, everyone understood the mystery of this matter, what kind of situation would it be? Do you abandon the mission for a while and retreat or move on?

If they were really the Abyssal Ones, they wouldn't even have a chance of escaping.

The eyes of the other three finally focused on Captain Jane.

"It doesn't matter who our opponent is in this collective mission, how strong they are...... Don't you wonder what the person giving these hints looks like? If it's true, I'd like to thank him in person. ”

Leading a team isn't something Jane is good at, but because she is a single-digit ranking, she has to take on the role of captain.

In fact, she thinks that Kelly, who has just spoken, is more suitable for the position of captain than herself, but the other party has been unwilling to accept it, and the others are not interested......

Not every raiding party is harmonious and energetic, or there are often hidden contradictions or mutual indifference, which actually happens more often.

After all, they are all lonely people, and when they get together suddenly, it is difficult for their respective personalities and styles to match the channel......

In the end, the four decided to move on.

As they reached the foot of Zakro Mountain, they finally saw a man covered in black robes.

This is really dressed like an agent, and he doesn't feel demonic. Jane spoke silently to herself in her heart.

"It's really a bunch of wooden heads, and it's all so obvious, can't you be more cautious in this situation?" Ai Hua saw the four people who stopped more than a dozen steps in front of her, whispered, and sighed.

The silver-white armor and outfit made her miss it a little.

"You're the one who gave us two warnings?" Jane stepped forward and asked, "Although I don't know what your troubles are, I still thank you for your hard work." ”

"So you decided to return? Not bad, a wise decision. Ai Hua raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

"No, we will have to discuss carefully whether to retreat and leave, but we must thank you for your kindness before we can rest assured."

…… As he expected, the warriors didn't choose to return directly, and it seemed that they wanted to see for themselves how powerful their opponents really were.

"I don't have to thank you, I just don't want you to repeat the same mistakes." Ai Hua's voice couldn't help but be a little sad, but these four warriors were really stubborn.

Further up from the foot of the mountain, it is very likely that Liv Road will sense the existence, is the only way to let her come and clean up?

Just as Ai Hua's thoughts were surging, the four warriors in front of her suddenly became nervous and entered a state of readiness. Because Mugwort had been taking secret medicine, she didn't sense the arrival of that person in time.

A pair of terrifying-looking flesh wings slammed out from the mountainside, and flew down at great speed, only to see the Awoken finally slow down for some distance before daring to land in front of the raiding party.

Annabelle is ready to "scare" these juniors.
