The mercenary team from Zhongzhou escorted the Hongling Merchant Group all the way through the Bull Mountains and arrived at the Church of Light Country, except for some ordinary robbers and some difficult hooligan ruffians along the way, they did not encounter any danger, although Lynn was young, he was also a Templar, and after showing his identity and strength, ordinary people did not dare to embarrass him at all.

A boat was hired along the Na'vi River and sailed through the kingdom of Mara, where Lynn's Storm Mercenary Squad and the Red Diamond Merchants were stationed in a remote town passing by.

The town is very quiet and peaceful, it is a typical agricultural town, there is also a waterwheel mill in the town, the mill belongs to the church of the town, the farmers above the town can use it as long as they pay a fee, the streets of the town are very neatly built, and it looks like it has been some years old.

Because of its proximity to the Na'vi River, the fertile land, and a forest next to it, whether it is hunting or farming, it is enough to feed itself, and it is a direct domain of the royal Monar family, and the tax is lower than that of other noble domains, so the townspeople live a decent life.

"Do you think the villagers here are a little weird?" After Lynn walked around the town, he returned to the few houses he was borrowing, the Hongling merchant group was a small merchant group, and there were only twenty or thirty people in itself, plus Lynn's mercenary team, there were only more than thirty people, crowded into the two adjacent houses.

Du Wei thought about it for a moment: "Don't you think it's strange? Very enthusiastic, especially the hot eyes of the village girls, they must have taken a fancy to me! ”

Lynn frowned and said: "Everyone here has the same smile, and when we entered the village, those guys looked at us with eyes, it was too strange, this is not like the scene of outsiders entering the village, and we are still half-orcs, you know, this is not Zhongzhou, but the kingdom of Mara, and humans regard us as aliens!" ”

"Maybe the people here are more welcoming!"

"I think we should be careful at night!"

That night, a fog slowly spread out from the periphery of the town, gradually engulfing the entire town, when the fog slowly approached the house where Lynn and the others were stationed, they immediately saw a few night watchmen outside, swallowed by the fog, in a strange and permeating chewing sound, immediately disappeared.

And Lynn, who had been on the alert, was immediately alarmed when he heard the shouts of the night watchmen outside, and rushed out to call out to everyone, only to find that the entire village had been covered by this strange fog.

And this fog was afraid of fire and heat, and did not dare to get close to the room, Lynn and the others set fire to the house, dispelled the fog, and rushed out with torches, only to find that there were indeed countless monsters waiting for them outside.

It was a monster that remained in human form, but had no face, and its body was constantly exuding cold, and a layer of hoarfrost seemed to condense on its skin, like a walking corpse.

And the hundreds of people in the town have all turned into this kind of monster, these faceless corpses along the stone streets of the town, constantly besieging Lynn and others, and the priest of the Church of Light in the village, who originally presided over the church, has now become an extremely terrifying extraordinary monster.

The people who rushed out of the courtyard saw that on the street, there was a monster nearly four meters tall with huge fleshy wings constantly approaching them, this monster had no legs, and its feet were like wriggling mud, constantly dragging across the ground and approaching them.

Lynn's face suddenly turned pale: "Evil ...... Demon...... Demonic dependents? ”

Du Wei felt his feet tremble: "Damn, which madman is sacrificing to the demons in the abyss?" ”

It's not the first time that Zhongzhou has seen the power of demons, there are legends about demons, which have been circulating in human legends for a long time, but the appearance of real records is in the past few decades.

It is rumored that there is a book of demons compiled by the Demon King of the Abyss, which is a book from the abyss, which is stained with evil and filth, and even if you just see what is recorded on it, you will be swallowed by that terrible power and dragged into the bottomless abyss.

The Demon Illustrated Book and True Names that have spread from this book have let the world know how to summon and sacrifice these terrifying beings from the abyss, and many people have sacrificed to these terrifying abyssal demons in order to gain power, to fulfill their own wishes, or to live forever, or to exorcise diseases or resurrect their relatives.

However, these demons are not good people who are willing to give, everyone who sacrifices to them will eventually be devoured by them, assimilated by their power, and at the same time, it has also caused a lot of chaos on the Alan continent, but most of them were immediately quelled by the power from the Church of Light or the Church of the Sun in the early stage of the occurrence.

And Lynn didn't expect that in the interior of the Mara Kingdom, there was such a whole town, which was devoured by the power of the devil, and everyone in the town became the slaves and dependents of the demons.

Lynn and the others held torches high and kept fighting among the monsters, trying to break out of the encirclement and escape from this town that had been completely eroded by the power of the abyss.

And these faceless corpses, but no matter how they can be killed, even if they are cut in two, pierced their heads with bows and arrows, and smashed their heads with hammers, they still slowly merge and recombine like plasticine, as if they are immortal as long as they are shrouded in this fog.

The cannibal fog covered the entire sky, even the moonlight was hidden, Lynn and the others lit fires everywhere in the town, and the flames soared into the sky, but the surrounding cannibal fog shrouded every exit and corner of the town, and they couldn't escape from here at all, unless they waited until dawn.

However, hundreds of faceless corpses continued to besiege them, and the huge demon dependents, with their huge arms held high, easily destroyed the house, and slapped their companions who had no time to flee into meat pies one by one, and spit out the acid etching solution, as long as it was contaminated, they immediately saw a large piece of flesh and blood break away and instantly turn into dry bones.

They were afraid that they would not survive until dawn, and Lynn used the magic of the Templars to constantly wrestle these monsters, and then continued to fall into a desperate situation.

This is Lynn's first mercenary team, and it is also the first time to go on a mission, and then the dream and future have not yet begun, he may die here, and he has also taken the lives of many of his companions.

"Your Majesty!"

"I pray to you, in my most devout faith, to call upon your name, to grant us salvation!"

"No evil can escape judgment, no sin can bring harm to the world!"

In the midst of repeated prayers, Lynn's belief gradually became condensed, breaking through the usual boundaries, and in an instant, he mastered the first-level divine technique that was impossible to use before, and it was the most powerful attack divine power among the first-level divine arts.

The light of the Templar sword's sword instantly pierced through the demon's family, and the flames and light wrapped around the demon's family, emitting a strong light that shook out, tearing the demon's family apart.

With the death of the demon dependents, the other faceless corpse monsters attacked them like crazy, and at this time, with the death of the demon dependents, the cannibalistic fog he summoned also dissipated, and the boundaries that originally trapped Lynn and the others were gone.

The members of the Storm Mercenary Squad, forming a battle formation, finally broke out of the siege and escaped from the town swallowed by the abyss, and everyone left here scarred and exhausted.

The next day, the priest of the Church of Light arrived with a large number of knights, surrounded the entire town, and cleaned up the remaining monsters, but still did not find the mastermind and controller.

Lynn, on the other hand, delivered the Hongling merchant group to its destination, received a handsome commission, and after staying in the capital of the Mara kingdom for a few days, he prepared to return to the kingdom of Arabel, but before leaving, they stopped for one night at the legendary sacred lake of Lake Hirnano, and this night completely changed Lynn's fate.
