With Martha on board, the team's strength has increased dramatically, and the rest of the journey has become easier. Originally, Gilles thought he was going to fight the demon hunter who was chasing him, but he didn't see him. Maybe I found that this side was too strong and gave up......

Chen Yan traveled through the Burning Mountains in eleven days, encountering two battles in between. One time was when he strayed into the tribal territory of the demonic people, and the other time he was attacked by demons. All of them became thrilling under the strong suppression of Chen Yan and others. In fact, at this moment, Chen Yan's team can already be called the elite of the Hui River Basin. With three witchers and three witcher alternates, this combination is enough to crush the average outpost and even perform high-risk and high-reward conquest (invasion) missions.

However, for Chen Yan, the heart is not here, but the next goal.

"We've got half a month to get to Meroka." The body swayed slightly with the carriage. Chen Yan pulled out a light curtain for Giles and Martha to see. He pointed with his fingers, leaving clear lines on the light curtain.

"After passing through the burning mountains, we have consumed some more supplies, ammunition and energy cartridges need to be purchased, as well as the maintenance and maintenance of the device. So we had to go to Meloka first to rest. Chen Yan explained softly. Meroka is the last human outpost we have entered the demon-controlled zone. Important for our journey. From there, we will have no support, and we will be on our own. ”

"To be honest, I don't like the feeling of being alone." Gilles swayed with Erlang's legs crossed, playing with cards in his hands. "But since it's your decision, I'm free."

"As long as there's a fight, it's fine." Martha said coldly on the side. "Also, get me some moonflower solution."

"What do you want that thing for?" Giles was alert. "It's not like you're going to be a high-grade hallucinogen, are you?"

"I need to." Martha glared at him. "You don't need to worry about anything else."

Gilles stopped dwelling. "Well, if you insist, I remember that this thing happens to be the richest thing in Meloca, it is next to the demon area, and the Moonflower flower thing is as much as there is."

"That's good. In addition, I will also pay a third of the proceeds of the loot. Martha said politely. None of them are Chen Yan's subordinates, so the share of the proceeds should be. Even Chen Yan would not object to this.

Then the group decided on their route and accelerated towards the Meroka outpost......

That's when you can see the dangers of going deep into the wilderness. Since passing through the burning mountains, traces of human civilization have gradually become scarce, and travelers have largely disappeared. In their place, there are more and more demonic tribes and demon communities. As the convoy moved forward, there were faint peeking eyes on both sides, and a little bit of trouble happened on the road from time to time.

Fortunately, all three of them are powerful witchers. I don't care about that. After taking out two groups of demonic hunters in a row. The journey became pure......

On the thirteenth day after leaving the Burning Mountains, they arrived at their destination.

"Oh shit, this is Meroka?"

On the side of the road at dusk, Giles stared at the dark land in amazement, and opened his mouth wide to speak......

Yes, this is Meroka, at least on the map, but now they see a ruined ruin. A large number of houses and vehicle wreckage still bear faint traces of burning. There were debris and pitch-black dirt everywhere. The smell of burnt fire filled the air, and black crows hovering overhead croaked.

There are no living people, for they are all dead......

This is evidenced by the corpses scattered all over the place, which are clearly dead for some time, some of which are already decomposing. A large number of maggots crawled in and out of them, looking disgusting.

Chen Yan noticed that the eyes of each corpse had been gouged out, leaving only hollow eye sockets.

"They died painfully." Willy crouched down. Examined on a corpse for a while. "It seems that he was killed by a mysterious force in the middle of the battle, and the muscles of his whole body have atrophied. Organs have failed before death. and expands nerve acuity. ”

Nerve acuity directly determines the range of human perception, and the sharper it is, the stronger the response to pain. If these corpses had undergone the effects of nerve amplification, they would have been in great pain before they died. Not to mention in battle......

"What about their eyes?"

"It wasn't dug up." Willy replied, then fumbled through the eye socket of a corpse for a moment and pulled out something. "In fact, they've always been there, but that's all there is left."

Chen Yan looked at Wei Li's finger. See a white dot the size of the needle tip.

This is the eye of the corpse? How did it come to this?

"I don't know." Willy shrugged her shoulders. "After all, I'm a battlefield ambulance, not a master of the occult."

This involves the occult?

This is not only Chen Yan, but even Martha is also looking sideways. Only Gilles took a few steps forward and looked at the 'eyes' from Willy's fingers for a moment. Then he stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"A cursed smell." Giles retched a few times and dropped the 'eyes'. "It does have something to do with the occult. Probably a big ritual. It could also be soul ingestion. ”

The soul realm of this world is very rigorous. It's hard for demons to forcibly plunder human souls, but they can still reap some benefits if they use some extraordinary means. Such as tiny soul fragments and so on. It is necessary to understand here that the quality of the soul of the creatures in the Hui River Basin is not high, because it belongs to the world of thought manifestation, so the soul activity and purity are greatly reduced. Only about one percent of the soul of the main material realm. This is also the reason why demons are keen to seduce the life of the main material realm.

Only pure soul energy is the best fuel for demon evolution.

But what Chen Yan sees at the moment is not like that. The massacre and mysterious curse of this magnitude indicate that Meloka had just undergone a terrible ritual. If this was a demon's creation, what was he going to do?

Mixed with impure soul fragments don't provide much energy. Why did that demon do this?

Chen Yan was puzzled. According to demonological explanations, this simply does not make sense.

"We can't resupply." Wei Li and the others returned after inspecting the scene and said regretfully to Chen Yan. "The place was ransacked, and all the energy cartridges, food, including weapons and ammunition were removed. We're afraid we'll have to move somewhere else. ”

This was an unplanned change, but fortunately, Chen Yan had been prepared.

He took out his butler and a new curtain of light popped up.

"The Muffel family has some supply depots here, but they're all a bit far away. If we need to stay, the nearest place should be here. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a point on the light curtain.

"Black Rock Village." (To be continued......)
