Dozens of charred corpses scattered all over the ground had already curled up and twisted into a strange appearance. Even the leather that covered the surface of the shield to dampen sound and shock absorbs only a handful of charred black marks remained.

"Crackle!"

The burnt human bones burst open like wood from time to time, making the already thick and very thick smoke and dust a little thicker and deeper.

Liu Lin, the baron, and the remaining hundred or so people of the two squadrons were still maintaining a circular formation at this time, listening attentively to any sounds that might appear in the fog.

All four lost are dead, but no one knows if there is a fifth or sixth around.

According to Liu Lin's personal feelings, there is no feeling of dizziness yet. Maybe because they are physically stronger, it is perfectly fine to support another hour.

It may not be enough time to break out of the fog, but they can easily get back to the city. You can even take the time to do a cursory check of your obsidian reserves before heading back to camp to recuperate.

In addition to being vigilant around, Liu Lin's gaze would occasionally glance inadvertently at the location of the dozens of corpses. Those good boys who were still alive just now died because of a mistake by him.

Although Liu Lin has long regarded life and death very lightly, but now he is like murdering this group of young people with his own hands.

The psychological hurdle is not something that the baron can explain in two or three sentences.

He understands everything, and when he was young, he was used to killing and being killed. But he could not ignore the conscience condemnation of the mistakes that led to serious tragedies for such reasons.

The corpse of the dog may be taken away, but the corpse of the soldier has become charred, and I am afraid that tools such as brooms and dustpans will be needed to bring the corpses of their companions back to the city for burial.

"Let's go back to the city first, and wait for tomorrow morning when the fog clears!" Rowan glanced at the two squadron leaders who were full of vigilance: "Let's collect the bodies of all the dead comrades!"

Although there is a faint pain in my heart, as a military commander, the mission may have been completed now. Ensuring the safety of the lives of other soldiers has become an important task that they cannot shirk.

At a command, all the soldiers immediately turned around and stood still. Probably found the direction back to the Watch Valley, and immediately disappeared into the fog with neat steps.

It's just that they didn't pay attention to it, and the blood that flowed from the wolfdog's carcass at the beginning didn't seep into the dirt at all. Instead, the moment it comes into contact with the fog, it forms a scab that resembles a gelatinous sticky substance.

And, as it was exposed to the fog for a longer period of time, the blood became solid on the surface.

Liu Lin and the others had just left less than five minutes before an endless stream of "click" sounds came from the fog in the south.

Then, two or three hundred lost larvae emerged and scattered in an orderly manner towards all the corpses.

Most of them were working alone or in pairs of threes to carry corpses, human, dog, fragmented, whole, and charred.

And a few of them completely uncovered the blood that had been scattered all over the ground as if they had torn apart tape

As for the blood droplets and bones that were scattered all over the ground and difficult to clean, while carrying the corpses and the "blood carpet", they were eaten as if they were broken candy or bread crumbs.

Originally, there were corpses all over the pit. In an instant, only scattered swords, shields, and other metal objects remained.

Although it is almost impossible to see now, there are nearly three hundred corpses, including wolfdogs and humans.

But the mottled black and gray weapons and armor and the obvious four large pits still silently tell the story of their past.

Liu Lin and the others couldn't be sure whether they were going in the right direction. But the fact that the surrounding scene is gradually becoming clear proves that whether the fog is dissipating or they are moving away from the central area is a good thing.

As long as you can get out of this damn environment, even if you stay away from Overwatch Valley for a while. When they saw the familiar cliffs, everyone let go of the big rock in their hearts.

As the highest rank on this trip, the baron immediately instructed after seeing that everyone was relatively safe: "Take us to see the city lord and major general immediately when we return to the city, this obviously unusual experience, it is better not to let the people know about this obviously unusual experience!"

Secrecy!

This was the main content of the agreement they signed before they came! Now that they have experienced it firsthand, they know how important it is for the city lord, the garrison, and even the entire city to reduce the possibility of crowds.

Therefore, the two did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, Rowan continued: "There are also various sentry posts stationed on patrol tonight, and they must be controlled as soon as the fog clears." We're probably going to fall into a coma after more than an hour, so here's it. ”

The bald two looked at each other, nodded in unison, and said, "Yes, my lord, we know how to arrange it!"

It was already the middle of the night when the fog cleared, and the Watch Valley served as a military stronghold for North Sanke. Except for the seven days of the annual Festival of Beasts, there is a curfew of at least six hours at other times.

That is, in the second half of the night, the streets are empty, and violators will be severely punished.

If it is like Eagle City, which has a very rich nightlife, I am afraid that if they want to control the gossip, it will become an almost impossible and difficult task.

The fog drifted south along the coastline, not diminished by the death of the four lost ones.

Fortunately, there are no cities on the straight road further south.

Liu Lin and the others passed out after arranging everything separately, and the fog drifted all the way into the north side of the Rainbow Forest, disappearing without a trace.

In Hemlock Canyon, by the stream outside the muddy swamp woods, Ma Shuo is still practicing.

At this time, it was late at night, and the surrounding silence was a little infiltrating. If it weren't for the occasional rustle of the breeze through the leaves, and the faint sound of footsteps or wheezing, it would be hard to imagine a child who had been here for many days.

The night in early autumn was not cool, and after practicing again until he was exhausted, Ma Shuo sat on the boulder on the shore with one hand.

The sky is somewhat gloomy, and most of the time the moon is hidden behind the clouds. Except for the gurgling sound of the water, even the wind stopped at this moment.

Suddenly, Ma Shuo's ears moved, and he hurriedly got up and crawled beside the boulder, his eyes looking vigilantly at the other side of the stream.

The location of the sound was about more than 100 meters away, and it was impossible to see what was there at this time. But he knew that it was very little time, and I would still be active.

The only people who can scrape branches so quickly and so quickly are humans.

Groping around the side of the stream, there were countless pebbles of all sizes. Pick out the two largest ones and put them in the left and right pockets, and hold more than a dozen lotus seeds-sized ones in your hands.

There was a sound just now, but now it suddenly disappeared.

In this case, Ma Shuo pursed his lips and quietly retreated into the woods behind him.

"Third brother, you stupid! let the senior brother hear it!" Ding San heard the sound of the branches scraping, and broke out in a cold sweat. slapped the culprit Wang Fang on the buttocks, and used his mouth shape to express his extreme dissatisfaction.

Wang Fang didn't dare to speak, and the whole person lay on the ground motionless.

Their methods have improved a lot during this time in the snake nest, so Wang Fang came up with a suggestion to sneak attack the senior brother quietly. Who knew that at a glance, he saw Ma Shuo sitting by the stream, if it weren't for the three of them in the shade of the tree, I'm afraid the senior brother would have seen them a long time ago.

I felt panicked in my heart, and when I looked at the stream again, Ma Shuo's figure had disappeared from sight.

Seeing this, the three of them did not dare to move, and the surroundings were quiet again. And behind a tree about a hundred meters behind them, two cloaked figures were quietly watching them.
