Chapter 1037: Resting Land
Fast forward to the time of the trade, and Cruise pulled up Fares's face and patted him on the cheek. However, Farais is still unconscious. Fani sat beside Regess, her nails tucked, her fingers stretched from time to time, showing off her long, claw-dyed scarlet.
The rest of the short man, Steven, chatted with a few of the Trembling Serpent's gang, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter from the man's pile. Jenny frowned, and Steven occasionally glanced back at her, his gaze always wandering between her chest and thighs, making her want to gouge out the guy's two eyes.
Suddenly, Cruise said in a deep voice, "How many people do we have outside?" ”
Jenny was stunned for a moment, and replied casually: "There are at least twenty people, what's the matter, boss?" ”
"No, it's too quiet. Steven, go out and have a look! As soon as Gurus finished saying this, the door of the warehouse suddenly bulged inward, and the wooden door stretched out a thousand cracks, and then exploded into countless fragments and shot into the warehouse. A few people who were close to the gate were caught off guard and shot into a sieve, splashing blood and falling down. Outside the door, the wind blew in, and the air was filled with fishy smell, and blood and water flowed down the road into the warehouse, and when Gurus glared angrily, he asked, "Who is it?" ”
No one answered, the light above the warehouse gate was cast on the ground, and a few long shadows appeared in the light, and the people in the warehouse took out their muskets one by one, and used the crates as cover to shoot at the gate!
A barrage of gunfire rang out in the harbor.
The night was deep, just like Allen's mood at the moment. It was the worst incident ever encountered since the journey north, as Rick and several of his warriors were killed, and Fareth and Regers were killed. Fortunately, Adele escaped from the bar, otherwise the consequences would have been three points worse. Alan is not afraid of the oncoming strong enemy, but this vicious method of bypassing his shady hands on the people around him makes him feel both angry and a little afraid.
This time it's Fares, so who will it be next time? Adele? Or Lucy?
Allen's eyes narrowed, and under the moonlight, there seemed to be a layer of blood surging in his eyes, and the red pupils were like the murderous intent that he couldn't hide in his heart at the moment. He's decided to go on a killing spree, whether the gang is being supported or has some other reason to take action on the Faress and them, and Eren has decided to wipe them out. Including the mastermind behind them, Motheol's trip was not destined to be as peaceful as that of Sardinia, and the trip was bound to begin and end with bloodshed. Only enough blood can shock those who are in the shadows. Eren was going to kill them and tell them that if they dared to stretch out those dirty hands, he would not only chop them off, but also cut off their heads!
The murderous intent entangled around Eren was so intense that the Dragon Knight and the other warriors who followed him felt an oppressive atmosphere, making them quiet the whole time. Led by the sheriff's men, Alan quickly arrived at the fish port, but when he came to the dock where the trembling snake was located, he saw the corpses of two men, and his heart sank.
The two bodies were lying under a street lamp on the dock, their chests hollowed out by something, and they died in a miserable state. The two blood paths that extended from under the corpse converged with a puddle of blood not far away. As the team advanced, more corpses appeared in Alan's sight, and the Trembling Serpent's nest seemed to have undergone an attack, and an extinction-like attack.
It was eerily quiet, and the fear of corpses and blood piling up on the ground made the guide sit on the ground.
Alan gestured, and everyone, including him, rolled over and dismounted. He lifted the guide and said softly, "Go and tell the sheriff to send someone, the situation seems to have become more complicated." ”
The guide was relieved, and hurriedly pulled up a horse and walked back and forth.
Alan swept the environment around the warehouse, and stretched out his hand to point to a water tower not far away: "Adele, you go there and watch the warehouse to make sure no one can escape." ”
The girl nodded, and escaped into the shadows of the dock building with her sniper rifle.
"The others come with me."
Holding the handle of the Red King, Alan walked towards the warehouse. Nelly and the other five dragon knights also woke up the twelve points of spirit, and the source power condensed and ended, spreading the vigilance behind Allen. Finally, there are the warriors of the Mountain King, these tall warriors half-holding their shields and making a posture of defense at any time.
The warehouse is quieter, and since it is an enclosed space, the blood smell is much stronger than that outside. The first thing I saw was a few dead gangsters who had fallen to the ground, their bodies covered in fragments of the gate. Compared to the corpses outside, they died "normal". Then there was a row of overturned boxes, and the ground was littered with large and small dry ice and dead fish. The dry ice has not completely melted, indicating that the warehouse should have been attacked not long ago.
Behind the box, there were the corpses of some gangsters. Their deaths were more tragic, the severed hands and feet were quite light, and some of their bodies were directly cut off from their waists, and the flesh and blood on the wounds were blurred, as if they had been bitten off by some giant beast. After this pile of corpses, under several dumped boxes, Alan finds the killer of Rick. He was so good at confirming that the iron hand that pierced through Rick impressed Adele, so when he saw the iron glove on the right hand of the headless corpse, Eren knew who he was?
But this poor fellow, one leg is crushed under several phases of the cargo box, and his head is in the open space a few meters away. Something had pulled his head and spine out of his body and dragged him for several meters, leaving a trail of blood between his head and the corpse.
Then Alan found another woman, the only woman in the entire warehouse, whose identity could not have been clearer. That's the person who hunted Adele, but the woman is now a corpse as well. She was slightly better dead than her companion, at least her head was still on her neck, even though the face was a bloody blur that looked like it had been swept back and forth by a sharp object. The woman's chest on the left side collapsed, and one side of the chest was missing, and there was no trace of it around, so it should have entered the belly of some kind of creature.
Finally, Alan stood next to a tall male corpse with a hideous black snake tattooed on his bare shoulders and chest. His eyes widened, as if he saw something unbelievable. A large hole appeared in the corpse's chest, and the internal organs and bones in it had completely disappeared, and the upper and lower bodies were connected only by the flesh and skin at the edge of the hole. Alan narrowed his eyes, the Thrilling Serpents gang was a thing of the past tonight. Without his intervention, the vicious snake entrenched in the harbor had already been nested by something.
Fortunately, among the corpses, Alan could not see Regers and Fares. But in this way, the trail to track them down was cut off from here.
"Look here, my lord." Nelly called Eren over, and the knight pointed to the ground, where there was some crimson mud. The sediment was clearly out of step with the harbor environment and should have been brought from somewhere else. Importantly, the sand stretched all the way to the other side of the warehouse, and then Alan saw a gap. More mud and sand spread into the shadows far away from the harbor, and Alan called a knight to track down the whereabouts of the mud and sand, but told her to come back and report what she found, and not to act on her own.
According to Lucy's description, the iron-handed man and the red-armored woman in the Trembling Snake are not weak and strong, and even they have been killed, and the guy who holds the snake's nest is not an opponent whether it is a person or something else. Alan didn't want any knight to lose his life because of an inexplicable opponent, and after the knight left, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the warehouse, and when Alan walked out of the warehouse, he saw the sheriff leading a group of men and horses.
Seeing the sight of the warehouse, the sheriff almost fainted. Alan spread his hands and said, "I didn't do it, your people can testify." It seems that I am not the only one who wants to take out the Shivering Serpent, but because of this, the clues of my two captive companions have been broken. So Your Excellency, I need you to take a good look at the scene and then use your expertise to help me find new leads. ”
"Do your best...... Exert oneself. The sheriff smiled bitterly, then loudly ordered the security team to spread martial law, and called a few more assistants, put on white gloves, and entered the warehouse with tools. The grim scene in the warehouse turned the sheriff's face pale, and one of his assistants ran straight out the door retching. The sheriff shook his head and asked his assistant to perform an autopsy first.
When he walked up to the body of the man with black tattoos, he let out a cold breath and said, "This is Gurus, the leader of the Trembling Serpent. This guy is a twenty-third level powerful character, and he actually died here. ”
"Actually, I found something else interesting, you can take a look." Alan took him to the other side of the warehouse, pointed to the crimson mud on the ground, and said, "Maybe you know what this thing is. ”
The sheriff shuddered and suddenly pounced, moving with a dexterity that Allen had not expected. He picked up a pile of mud and sand, put it next to his nose and sniffed it, and even reached out and stuck a few into his mouth. Then he exclaimed, "That's right, it's the resting ground." How could they be here! ”
"Rest in peace?" Alan frowned, "Sounds like a cemetery thing." ”
"Pretty much, but to be exact, this crimson-colored Sabbath will only come from that place." The sheriff's face became rather ugly: "The Howling Forest behind the Great Necropolis, there is a swamp lake in the depths of that forest. It's all this kind of resting ground! ”
"Howling Forest, it doesn't sound comfortable. This forest shouldn't be easy, right? ”
The sheriff smiled wryly, "Of course, that swamp lake is the habitat of the Empress of Dread, and the Howling Forest is its territory. In Motherol, that forest is a forbidden place. Halfway between the cemetery and the Howling Forest, it is guarded by one of the Bears' warbands. If you want to know better, I suggest you pay a visit to General Arkham, who is the commander of the Bears! ”
