Walking to the mouth of the cave, John felt a breath of blood. "What's the matter, no matter how cruel the robbers are, they don't answer their lair and make a mess, right?" John was puzzled, slowed down, watched his surroundings, and walked towards the cave by the edge of the cave.

The more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong. In a bandit stronghold, there are usually many people, how can it be that there is no one in sight after walking into a cave? No matter how much you talk about the rabble, the realm will not be so bad. And on the ground, there are obvious hoof prints of livestock, could it be that the robbers would raise cattle and horses in the cave? This joke is not funny at all.

John walked cautiously when he suddenly heard someone talking.

"Hey, did you say the one who came two days ago really a pastor?" was a rough voice, and one could tell the person who spoke to have a lot of strength. When he spoke, he was accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, making a "bang" on the ground and spreading far away.

"Just be careful. The voice sounded the same: "This is a priest who believes in the true god Jemiro, and it's not something like you and me that caretakers can discuss at will." If the priest is upset and takes you as a sacrifice, no one will be able to save you. ”

Then the two of them were suddenly silent for a moment, and the rough voice that spoke first just now spoke: "Don't scare me, you know I can't stand this kind of thing." Besides, we caught a lot of people the day before yesterday, and even if we sacrificed, it wouldn't be our turn. ”

"yes, the day before yesterday was the smoothest we've had since we started being robbers. That time you were here looking at the hole, you didn't go out with the boss, didn't you see, those strong adventurers just started beating us to the same one, we lost three brothers in one round of fighting. As soon as the priest made a move, a thick purple mist appeared from the sky and enveloped them, and after a while all the people in it collapsed to the ground, and not even one of them was standing. We wouldn't have gnawed on this kind of stubble before, but now that we have the priest, hey, no matter how powerful the escort is, it's no match for us. ”

Well, it's not easy here, and there are believers in God. However, according to their previous words, the one who will let believers perform living sacrifices is probably an evil god, and judging from the appearance of the miracle they say, it is still a god who uses curses or poison as the law. Moreover, they also said that two days ago, a team of chariots and horses were captured alive, and this miracle that can make people lose their combat ability in a short period of time is still very troublesome. I'll have to pay attention to it later.

John slowly moved against the wall, touching a corner. Poking his head out, John saw a movable door made of wooden planks about twenty meters after going out around the corner, and a brazier supported by a triangular stand in front of it. On the left and right sides of the door were a robber guarding him, the one on the left holding a wooden sledgehammer in his hand, now lying upside down on the hilt with both hands, and the one on the right with a one-handed sword at his waist. The two looked unguarded, leaning their backs against the wall and talking. But it's not easy to assault, after all, there is still a long distance, and there are still two people on the opposite side, if you rush over and don't solve one at the first time, you may enter an unfavorable situation of facing two enemies at the same time. And twenty meters is also a relatively long distance, and in such a cave with no shelter, it may be discovered if you are not paying attention during the assault.

John looked at the situation, and when he was having a headache, the man who made the mallet covered his stomach and spoke: "Why does your stomach feel a little uncomfortable, is it because it is a cold stomach?" The companion next to him seemed to be familiar with him and ignored him completely. But as soon as he finished speaking, the one-handed sword also covered his stomach and squatted down: "Ouch, why do I have a stomachache, who cooked at noon?"

The gavel hadn't yet been connected, and he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground unconscious. The one-handed sword, too, was reaching out to help it, but it suddenly fell backwards, leaning against the plank and fainting.

This situation has changed, John thought to himself as he looked at the situation over there. But now you don't have to worry about how to get in. John walked lightly to the door and took a closer look at the two who had fallen to the ground. It's not that he's been poisoned, it's just that he's been knocked unconscious. It seems that the person who did it didn't want to kill people, but did he want to capture them alive? Then John didn't make up the knife, in case the black hand behind the back came out and found something abnormal, it might surprise them. Thinking so, John pushed the door open and entered, then closed the door again.

The further he went, the more traces of human and animal activity John found. After walking nearly 100 meters, John found a fork in the road, and found that one path was full of animal hoof prints, a few human footprints, and the other road was full of human footprints. John was about to walk in the direction of the people, when he suddenly heard someone approaching in that direction, and immediately walked towards the cattle passage.

John had just found a prominent spot in the cave to hide behind when he saw someone walking on the other side. This time it was not one but three that came out, or one person and two monsters. This monster gave John the feeling that it was like human pus, and it was obvious that it was also a human being, but it was cursed by some existence, the skin color of the upper body had turned dark green, and there were dense scales, and the hands had also changed into the shape of claws, the fingers were thin and the bones could be seen, the knuckles were bulging and protruding, the fingernails had become very long and sharp, and they were shining with cold light, and the muscles of the upper limbs could see obvious ups and downs, and their strength could not be underestimated. The height is not known because the original height cannot be speculated, but compared to the person next to him who is wearing a cloak and holding a book that is not orthodox at first glance, it is obviously much higher, and even in this low and narrow cave, the two monsters still need to keep their heads down to move forward. John estimates that they are at least two meters tall.

However, in this small space, these monsters can't spread their fists and kicks, and they can't even stand well, which is estimated to affect their power movements. And the two monsters were clearly led by the man in the cloak with the book in his hand in front of them, and followed him even as he advanced. Moreover, this kind of structure covered with scales mostly lives near the water, John looked at those monsters and thought, this is not a boundary near lakes and swamps, rivers and seas, so these monsters are probably from the priest that the two robbers who guarded the gate before. Is it a gift after sacrificing to an evil god?

The man in the cloak walked along, and he was still talking about something. John listened carefully with his ears pricked up, only to realize that it was a prayer one by one: "Ah, great Jamirau, my true God." You are the only being in the world. You are the embodiment of Tenival, you are the master of all the lizards and vipers...... "Shredded Babble, Shredded Shredded."

Is this really a prayer? John thinks it's like a sycophant, it's really a prayer?

But in this way, John also knew some information about his opponent. This time the evil god is Jamero, and this John has heard about this evil god in Betty City. Jemiro was originally a lizardman native to the Tenibal Marshes. This indigenous creature is said to be related to the dragons of the three genesis tribes, and it is rumored that the lizardmen are a race created by dragons as minions, and are born with dragon blood. Jemiro is the best of the lizardmen, Jemiro who lives in the swamp understands the law of poison, most of the believers are lizardmen of the same race, and there are also humans who believe in Jemiro's gifts, such as the cloak man in front of him. Jamero's favorite sacrifice is a liver that has just been dug out alive, and if it is sacrificed to Jamero's favorite sacrifice, Jamiro is willing to fulfill the wish of the sacrifice host. Of course, in order to expand the scope of his faith, Jemiro will also send his followers outside the swamp to carry out his mission. It seems that the man in the cloak I met this time is such a character.

From what I heard from the robber just now, there is only one priest this time, and that is this cloak man. These two monsters, could it be that Jamero's warriors who lure people over through their possession through Jamero's miracle?

Seeing that the cloaked man had gone away with the two monsters, John came out of hiding and walked in the direction they had come.

It didn't take long for John to see a large hollow, which was not naturally formed, but in the depths of the hollow there was an obvious man-made structure, and a number of dwellings made of wood, where the robbers seemed to live. John was now in a hollow rock wall about twenty meters high, and there was a staircase leading him down.

John walked down the stairs to the bottom of the hollow and found traces of many people's lives, such as food scraps, used utensils, and so on. But not a single person was seen, not even the bandof robbers who had come in the afternoon. John suddenly thought of the cultist who had just gone out and the two possessed creatures beside him, and guessed, "The robbers here won't all be sacrificed, right? ”

Since there is no one to stand in your way, let's hurry. John thought as he fixed himself on his left arm and walked with his spear towards a complex that was very discordant with the surrounding dwellings. When you walk to the main entrance of the building, look inside carefully.

The hall looks like someone has carved out of the hollow stone wall, and only the front part of the hall can be seen outside the stone wall, the back part is the hollow hole in the stone wall, and the whole complex is in the back. The two hollows themselves are independent of each other and are connected by the main hall, which was originally in the shape of a gourd, and the only place where they meet is the main entrance of the main hall.

John was at the gate, and he felt more and more wrong, the smell of blood here was even stronger, or rather, the smell of blood in this cave was coming from here. According to common sense, there must be ventilation to live in a cave, and the same is true in this cave. But in this case, there can still be this kind of bloody smell, and the amount of blood must not be less, even if it is not enough for a hundred people. This is impossible, if there really is such a large number of people kidnapped at one time, it is not as simple as recruiting adventurers by a few Templars, that is, the state sends troops, and the Templars directly discharge the knights to encircle and suppress them.

John looked into the main hall, and the first thing he saw was a pool of blood, bubbling as if it were boiling. Next to the blood pool, there is also a possessed monster that is constantly patrolling the blood pool. Farther away, John saw corpses that had been drained of blood, dressed by robbers and robbed passers-by. There were also several people tied up next to the corpse, and John saw Lawrence in them, and it seemed that he was right. It is true that they were robbed.
