What appeared in front of Gu Wu's eyes was a forest base centered on the cave and built and expanded in all directions, its scale was not large, it looked like it should not be the headquarters of this organization, but a small stronghold such as an outpost.

At this time, the survivor, a middle-aged man whose legs and shoulders were red with blood, was coughing loudly, his lips were bitten, his elbows and face were covered with abrasions, and his face was gradually turning pale due to blood loss.

Gu Wu used magic to treat him, and the man, whose wound recovery rate had increased, began to slow down his breathing rhythm, and he thanked Gu Wu as he leaned against the edge of the nearby counter.

"Thank you very much for your help...... I don't know who you are, but I warn you to stay away from here as much as possible, I'm sure the demon didn't leave at all......"

"Don't worry about that, just tell me where 'that demon' has gone, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Wait...... This gentleman, and the young lady over there...... Are you going to go to that demon?! Listen to me, there's no way anyone can stop that guy! ”

The middle-aged man who coughed again looked to his left, and Gu Wu handed him the kettle over there.

"Thank you...... Something about that demon...... Did you see the body at the entrance to the cave? Among them was a gray-haired, one-eyed man who was said to have been a Golden-level adventurer and had even trained with Mithril-level bigwigs, hence the fact that he was our captain...... That is, the strongest, who once defeated a bear with one hand and slaughtered a monster with only one knife! ”

The middle-aged man wiped the blood stains off his face and continued after taking a sip of water

"Such a powerful person, worthless in the face of that demon, was pierced through his body by a finger...... So, two benefactors, please leave quickly, or you will lose your lives. ”

It does sound like a very strong person, but Gu Wu thinks that 'that demon' must be related to the protagonist Feifei who has been here, otherwise he would not have gone on a killing spree in this area.

Facing the kind reminder of the person in front of him, Gu Wu stated again

"We have something to do, so we have to find the demon in your mouth, and I won't run here for nothing without preparation."

"But sir......

"What are you doing here compared to that? I've heard rumors in the royal capital that you plan to gather forces here and cooperate with people from abroad. ”

The middle-aged man looked a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"If the two of you were here to crusade against us, I guess I wouldn't have survived until now...... Truth be told, we are ready to cooperate with other powers, because our land, our homeland, have been destroyed by those hateful nobles! ”

It turned out to be a revenge against the nobles, and now it is quite common to think about this reason.

Of course, Gu Wu didn't mean to mock them, after all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and in this different world, there are not only the existence of the protagonist who has opened a golden finger and reached the peak of life, but also the victims who are haunted by misfortune and are trying to survive in crisis.

No matter how beautiful the world is, there is also darkness that no one knows, and Gu Wu, who knows this, doesn't think they are 'evil', and the problems here have little to do with him.

It's just that if it's placed in the exchange world......

Gu Wu will respect those who oppose him, but if those people do unpleasant things, Gu Wu will definitely wipe them all out.

"I'm curious why you're hiding here, and if there's plenty of food?"

"Yes, there is a fertile land on the hills, where vegetables are easily grown, and fish is used for meat, and occasionally hunting in the nearby wooded areas...... Of course, what really matters is the weapons here. ”

"Weapons? Do you produce weapons in this deep mountain and old forest? Spears? Or a sword? ”

"That's it......"

The middle-aged man pulled something out of his pocket, it was a yellow solid.

Gu Wu, who was staring at this thing, took it in his hand and sniffed it, and then he understood what these people were doing here.

"Mages can work miracles, blessed adventurers can fight against powerful enemies, and educated and trained knights can fight in unity, what about us? We come from an abandoned village that no one cares about, and we have no income under the pressure of the nobility for many years, so we have no power to resist when invaded...... So we found this, an alchemist said that it can exert a power comparable to magic, if there are enough of them......"

"You want to blow up the king?"

At this time, Altaïr took the things in Gu Wu's hand, and she also sniffed it.

"Brimstone ......"

"That's right, young lady...... With him, even strong walls can be destroyed. ”

"Maybe it makes explosives that can blow up walls, but what about the mage's barriers? When those mages and high-ranking adventurers come to the scene, your bombs won't be useful. ”

"This young lady...... We're not stupid...... It's just that we don't have the power, and of course we know the result, so we will arrange them in the mansions of the nobles, granaries, etc., to completely destroy the royal capital and its foundations! ”

These people are smart, they are aware of the difference in strength between themselves and the enemy, so they take a means that are not head-on.

It's just that now they may not be able to do it anymore......

Gu Wu looked around, it seemed that he was the only survivor, and the rest were all smashed and cut off, as if a deadly storm had swept here, and it was a miracle that the person in front of him could survive.

At this moment, Altaïr returned the brimstone to the middle-aged man and followed her out.

"What's the sound...... Gu Wu, let's take a look. ”

"No problem."

When Gu Wu got up, the middle-aged man grabbed Gu Wu's arm.

"Your Excellency...... You shouldn't go...... That demon is not something that ordinary people can deal with, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen to this point...... Maybe this is the punishment for our malice, Mingming...... It was the good deeds of those hateful nobles in the first place, why were they not punished, why are we ......! ”

Gu Wu used healing magic on it again, and then let it fall asleep.

Altaïr, who had witnessed Gu Wu doing this, said as he walked forward

"You should have used magic a long time ago, just let him spit out the truth and leave."

"That's true, but I don't want to rely too much on magic......"

"There's nothing wrong with relying on magic, it's all yours anyway."

The conversation between the two men did not continue, but walked along the path of the small stronghold, ready to see what was really going on.

Due to the tall and dense trees in this area, it is difficult to observe flying in the air, so the two chose to walk and move forward on a road that has been trampled by many people, and soon see the change of scene.

Although the towering forest sea still exists, there are gradually traces of human life everywhere.

Landmarks placed on the side of the road, torches that are now extinguished and are often lit at night, and sentry posts set up in trees prove that there is indeed something ahead.

Gu Wu looked at the road under his feet at the moment, and some of the footprints were still very clear, proving that all this was only a few hours, and it wouldn't be too long anyway.

"It's just ahead, and the terrain has become a lot more open."

Seeing the environment not far away, Altaïr, who was ready to fight, stepped into the next area.

The area has clearly been rested.

The ground was paved with planks for easy walking, and in some areas it was made of stones, anyway, for better movement, and about thirty meters in front of the two men, there was an extended fence and a gate.

The gate had now been penetrated, and while the left door was intact, the right door was crooked, as if it were going to fall down at any moment.

Gu Wu increased his speed, and he had already opened the barrier as he walked side by side with Altair.

"I'll go first."

Although Altaïr is not weak, as a man, Gu Wu chose to take the lead.

So Gu Wu, who had increased his speed, walked to the front, and he chose to enter from the right side.

Reach out your right hand and touch the door that looks crumbling, and the moment it touches it...... Sure enough, the gate collapsed inward.

The sound appeared, the dust flew, and the dust that obscured his vision was driven away with the magic of the wind, and Gu Wu smelled the smell of sulfur coming to his face.

It smelled of blood when it was first below, but when it came to this real headquarters, it was the smell of sulfur.

"What's there?"

Altaïr, who entered later, asked Gu Wu, and Gu Wu told what he had seen with his eyes.

"There are two corpses in the center, and they are no longer human...... As for the voice you just heard. ”

Gu Wu looked at the flags and some shelves that were waving in the wind.

"I think those things came out."

"So the enemy isn't here?"

"That's right for now, and there's one more thing that's weird...... Theoretically, there are a lot of people here who are working to mine the brimstone, but at the moment there is no one else to be seen, Miss Altair, what do you think? ”

"It's like a puzzle show I saw that day and in an instant."

Puzzle show?

"The crew of a ship is all gone, and everything on the ship remains the same, which is probably the show."

"This one...... I've also seen that many researchers tend to favor the spontaneous departure of the crew, rather than some paranormal phenomenon. ”

"Maybe it's the same here, the people who used to mine the sulphur here are gone."

"Escaped? Unlikely...... After all, the demon that killed the group of people below looked quite powerful and wouldn't give so many people a chance to escape. ”

Therefore, Gu Wu stared at the two corpses in the center and guessed

"The reason why these two people were killed may be because of the demon's dismount, after all, it is better to kill a few people than to yell and warn loudly."

"Where will they go? So many people should leave traces even if they move around, and we should probably go around the fence. ”

"That's right."

However, before the operation, Gu Wu walked to the back of this headquarters and saw the pit for sulfur mining that stretched downward, and it was currently emitting a pungent smell.

"I don't think they're going to hide inside."

With that, Altaïr flew towards the nearby fence.

Gu Wu, who was standing in place, looked around, and this fenced area contained sulfur caves, dormitories, wooden warehouses, carts, and various daily utensils, all of which seemed to be in a state of use, which made the scene very strange.

"Where have all the people gone?"

Gu Wu, who was chattering again, also began to investigate the vicinity of the fence to see if he could find any traces caused by the movement.

Gu Wu thought that there were quite a few rebels here, which could be seen from the beds in the dormitory, so he thought that they must have been transferred.

As for the location of the transfer......

There is only one place that has not been investigated, and that is the pungent smell of sulfur caverns.

As the saying goes, if you don't get into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and in the absence of clues, it is necessary to conduct an investigation inside.

Thinking like this, Gu Wu immediately set off.

"Are those people going to run inside and hide?"

"Maybe they were driven in."

Gu Wu replied to Altair, and he was standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Well......? Miss Altair, this cave is windy. ”

Gu Wu, who said this, sprinkled a handful of dust, and the flying gravel tilted under the interference of the wind current.

Sure enough, I was right.

The wind here means that the cave is connected, and perhaps it is connected to other areas.

And such an explanation is more plausible.

After all, if people here leave from the outside, they will definitely leave footprints, and it is impossible to disappear quietly.

Perhaps the sulphur caves connected the waterways of the underground rivers, which in turn connected to another area.

As for why it was transferred, this is a little strange.

Is there any point in the 'demon' who attacked here only killed two people and transferred the rest?

Gu Wu thought about it, and he was ready to find out if he wanted the answer.

"Alright, let's go check it out."

"Until then...... We have to deal with the next issues first. ”

"Questions?"

"Your ears...... No, your magic doesn't seem to be as powerful as mine's. ”

As soon as Altair finished speaking, footsteps could be heard from inside the dark sulphur cavern.

The rhythmic footsteps gradually approached, and then a pair of red eyes appeared in the cave.

"What's going on? Didn't I clean it up just now? No, you taste different. ”

"You ......"

Gu Wu looked at the comer who gradually revealed his figure.

"I see."

With a clapping of his hands, Gu Wu, who made this action, knew who the other party was, and also guessed some routines of the plot, so he looked at the other party and continued

"Can you talk about it? Miss Vampire. ”
