Chapter 13: The Witch
"Click! Click! ”
The sound of crumbling barrels rang out.
Accompanied by the burst wooden barrels, streams of distilled spirits that exuded a strong smell flowed all over the ground, stained with the firewood that had been transported.
A blood guard hurried with a torch.
"Hurry up and get ready for the horses!" Gallo commanded.
And the group of dead bodies had already rushed through the defensive line and rushed over with great momentum. The deafening roar made everyone's hearts tremble as if it were close at hand.
The corpses were moving faster than they had expected, and the torches had just been lit with firewood and the houses on both sides, and the fire was not strong enough to stop the death
Hordes of corpses.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Garo directly raised the sword in his hand: "Give it to me!" After saying that, he rushed over first, wanting to slow down the progress of the corpse herd.
was pulled by Jue on the side: "Idiot! ”
"You!" Galo was choked and didn't know what to say.
In an instant, only a loud roar was heard, and Han Qingluo whipped the horses of the cart vigorously, and at some point the wine barrels on the cart were all covered with hay, and the slightly higher precision distilled liquor quickly burned into a ball of fire.
The horse was frightened by the pain and the fire behind him, and rushed directly to the group of dead bodies with a cart of burning hay. The force of the force knocked the corpses open a gap.
The falling hay set fire to the flammable shredded clothes of some of the dead bodies, and before long, some of the dead bodies began to burn. The frightened horses were quickly subdued by the gnawing and tearing of the corpses, and fell among the countless crazy figures.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the houses and the haystacks of firewood and haystacks that were intercepted also quickly burst into flames, and the houses on both sides began to burn under the chain effect.
"Let's go!"
Jue pulled Han Qingluo and went directly to the stable. Galo and his party saw the opportunity and seized the time to follow.
At this time, Lillian was already waiting for them in the stable.
Han Qingluo helped her get on the horse, and then sat behind her to protect her: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you!" ”
"Let's go!" Jue is already ready.
In the next second, Galo and Elk arrived with their men. When he saw Lilian, he was visibly stunned.
"Who is she?"
"Survivors of the village."
Garlo frowned: "Can't take her away, maybe the dead body has something to do with her?" ”
"She's nowhere to go!" Han Qingluo looked at the house that was submerged in the sea of fire, and did not back down at all.
"If you don't leave, the corpses will come again!" Jue leaned over to Galo's side and looked at him condescendingly.
Garo subconsciously looked at the entrance of the village, and black shadows were looming from the sea of fire. He didn't hesitate to signal his people to get on the horse.
"Drive! Drive! ”
The sound of chaotic horses' hooves sounded, and a group of hurried figures galloped out from the end of the village.
After confirming that the house was burning, the blood guards who stayed behind to set fire to the house were burning, also turned on their horses and went to catch up with the large army.
On the other side, the corpses were held back by the fire, slowing down. As they broke through the obstacles and made their way into the heart of the village, the burning and collapsing houses trapped them firmly in the center of the fire, becoming a flaming mass of moving "torches".
The firelight illuminates the night, and the "whirring" fire is mixed with the crackling sound of burning wood in the house, and the almost screaming of the dead is the theme song of this "fire party".
Inside the Forest of Death.
Inside a stone house, all the demons in black robes let out painful screams.
"I can feel my puppets disappearing one by one."
"It's a bad sign."
"Looks like our plan has failed!"
Stark, who was sitting on the throne, saw this scene and angrily slammed the long table in front of him: "Damn it! ”
"Don't worry, Lord Saint, our people are everywhere, all at your disposal, this battle is just an experiment, there is no need to worry!"
Stark snorted coldly: "Let them act secretly and not be exposed, let us be the target here, confuse their eyes, we still need to create more puppets!" ”
"Yes!"
……
A gloomy and dull night.
The road ahead is like an unknown abyss.
"Hula!"
The lit torch dispelled the darkness around him.
Horses leisurely on the dirt road. Breaking away from the entanglement of the dead corpses, Han Qingluo and his group's tense hearts finally relaxed.
Feeling that the people in front of him were no longer trembling, Han Qingluo couldn't help but ask about Lilian's life experience: "Why are you alone in the village, and have the other people in the village become dead bodies?" ”
Han Qingluo wanted to ask in a whisper, but the surroundings were too quiet, and everyone could hear the slightest noise, so her question naturally attracted others, and their eyes surrendered to her and Lilian.
"Not long ago, I saw a group of black-robed ghosts come to the village, and they ......" Lillian had not finished speaking, as if she had been in some pain, and began to choke up, and could not say any more words.
See?
Han Qingluo listened to her words, and fell into doubts in his heart: "Don't you have an eye disease?" ”
"I don't have to look at things with my eyes, I can see the short future."
"What do you mean?"
"There's a blonde man who will block your path in a moment."
Well?
Before Han Qingluo could react, Jia Luo rode his horse and trotted in front of her, forcing her to stop.
"What's the matter?" Han Qingluo gently pulled the reins back, causing the horse under him to stop. He frowned and looked at the unkind Galo.
Without saying a word, Garo pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it directly at Lilian in front of Han Qingluo: "She's a witch, right?" ”
"What evidence do you have?" Han Qingluo grabbed the reins with one hand, and put his right hand on the outside of his thigh, ready to use the hidden weapon at any time.
At this time, Jue also rode over on horseback: "She should have nothing to do with the corpses." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Elk also rushed to Galo's side and whispered in his ear, "Lord Count, I heard that she helped find the distilled spirit." ”
Garloh put away his sword and stopped making trouble.
Han Qingluo gave him a blank look, rode his horse and ran forward, Jue also glanced at him meaningfully, and followed Han Qingluo.
As a result of this hiccup, all the blood guards behind them stopped. Galo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, turned his horse's head and said, "Go on."
The sky is white, day and night alternate.
At dawn, they rushed to the next station.
——
The sky was blue and the clouds were white, and the seagulls stayed among the sails and flew again.
A passenger ship was moored at the harbor, and as soon as the shelves were lowered, the passengers who had been waiting on the deck for a long time poured out and stepped onto the land that had not been seen for a long time.
The port is full of people, there are everyone, and it is very lively.
As soon as he got off the boat, Yuke picked up the brim of his hat, looked around at the unfamiliar environment, and sighed: "It's really lively, it's been a long time, my hometown!" ”
His pompous language attracted the sideways glances of passers-by.
"Let's go, let's find a hotel and settle down." The elder brother Yufu pulled his younger brother Yuke with a look of disgust.
"This guy doesn't have to worry about going anywhere." Lunson complained to the people on the side. But when he looked at the gray eyes that didn't say a word, he shook his head helplessly.
Hunter, who was at the back, stopped walking as if he had something on his mind, and looked behind him sharply, but behind him were all pedestrians in a hurry, and there was nothing unusual about it.
As soon as Hunter turned his face back, a figure flashed behind a stacked crate not far away.
……
In the hotel, a group of five people sat in a small room.
Yufer took out a map and spread it on the table: "According to the agreement, the boss told us to wait for him in Berry City, and it will take at least a month if we travel in the way of the blood clan." ”
"Need to be in such a hurry?" Yuke clearly didn't like the plan, "Can't we be more comfortable going?" ”
"And if we act like this, it will definitely arouse suspicion, you know, we are invaders, we are in the sphere of influence of the secret party, and we should not easily expose our own identity." Hunter also disagreed with Yufer's plan.
"Then you can only buy a few horses to get on the road." Lenson proposed.
"But......" Yuke suddenly said to the quietest gray eye, "this guy runs out like an animal at night, are you sure it's okay?" ”
As soon as they mentioned this, they remembered the time when they were dominated by Gray Eyes on the ship.
In order to solve the problem of blood food, they usually sneak into the ship's galley and steal some living animals to solve the problem temporarily. But every time Grey Eye drank the blood food, he would reveal the true nature of the animal and run to the deck to let out a wolf howl.
But there could be no wolf on the sea, and his cry must have frightened a boatload of people, who were compelled to make up a broken excuse that he was mentally ill and had gone to England to treat him.
So in order to prevent him from running out of control again, he was tied up and left in the room to guard during the blood drinking time. But there were constant complaints from passengers that they were too noisy at night, and they were almost forced to go down in another port by the captain.
If it weren't for the money, I bribed the captain a little and changed to a remote cabin, and I would have gotten out a long time ago.
"Hire a carriage!" Hunter proposed.
"Yes, tie him up and gag his mouth as soon as the point comes!" Yuke looked excited.
As the gray eyes of the parties, they still calmly watched them discuss how to deal with themselves. He got up suddenly, causing the four Bloodclan men to suddenly shut up, thinking he was angry.
Unexpectedly, he just walked to the window and started a new round of daze. What he was thinking about now was to find Lord Jue and Master Jue as soon as possible, and his face was sad, looking at the carriages and crowds coming and going on the street, his brows furrowed slightly.
Seeing that the gray eyes were not angry, they started a new round of discussions, formulating a route and detailing some precautions.
But after a long time, they still planted their heads on Gray Eye......
On the seventh day of the journey, the unusual movement in the carriage aroused the suspicion of some residents, who secretly reported them, and were surrounded by a patrol team that rushed to search them.
After seeing the gray eyes tied up by them in the carriage, they were convicted of kidnapping and all of them were arrested and put in prison. Gray Eye was sent to a psychiatric hospital as mentally ill and locked up.
