Chapter 3: The Dark Warrior

The old scalper was restless at this time, trying to break free from the reins.

The old man stood up and squinted into the depths of the woods. A herd of black and oppressive beasts roared in, shaking the sky and roaring the earth, all over the dense forest, and it was a demonic beast of different sizes and thousands of forms.

The old man was stunned, his lips trembled a little, and he muttered, "It's not good, this, is this ......?"

Before Layton could understand what was happening, he heard the old man yelling, "Layton, come here." ”

The old man's roar caught the attention of one of the wind wolf beasts, and he ran towards the pond.

Layton also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and ran towards the old man, who was dragged by the old man to a large rock.

"What's going on, old man?" asked Layton in a low voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a beast tide. ”

"Isn't it hundreds of years since there has been a beast tide?"

"I don't know what might have happened in the heart of the northern mountains. A somewhat confused look flashed on the old man's face, and then he said: "But looking at the scale, this is only a small beast tide, which is too different from the rumored beast tide. ”

A rumbling sound whistled by, stirring up puffs of smoke and dust, but fortunately, the direction of the beast tide passed by the waterfall pool.

After the beast tide, the whole forest suddenly became quiet, and Layton and the old man were hiding under the boulder at this time, and Layton just wanted to make a sound, but the old man covered his mouth.

At this moment, a wind wolf beast that followed the sound on the boulder was wandering, constantly shaking its nostrils, sniffing the smell in the air, searching for traces of the two.

The wolf's claws made a sound of thorns grabbing at the boulder like metal and steel, bursting out with sparks. It was like grabbing Leighton's heart, and the uncontrollable thump was beating, and the two of them held their breath tightly under the boulder, and they didn't dare to come out of the air.

After a while, there was no movement on the boulder, and the old man wondered if the Wind Wolf Beast had already left. As soon as he came out, a hideous mouth bit the old man's head. The distance was so close that the old man could clearly feel the fishy smell coming from the mouth of the wind wolf beast.

With a "click", the wolf's mouth fell short.

Thankfully, Layton pushed the old man away in time to dodge the attack, but at the same time, he also revealed their positions.

The Wind Wolf Beast leaped down from the boulder and stared at them condescendingly, forcing them to the corner of the boulder where they could not escape. The old man stood up, stood in front of Leighton, took the wood-chopping axe on Leighton's body and pointed it directly at the Wind Wolf Beast, and confronted the Wind Wolf Beast with his eyes.

The old man understood that it was difficult to hurt the demonic beast in front of him with a wood-chopping axe, but it was better than sitting still.

A trace of contempt flashed in the corner of the Wind Wolf Beast's eyes, as if it was laughing at the inadequacy of the person in front of him. Leaning down, the wolf's head was almost touching the ground, and his hind legs kicked the ground slightly. opened his mouth of blood, and the power of the wind slowly condensed from his mouth, swirling in the air, and seeing the wind blade getting bigger and bigger.

At this time, the Wind Wolf Beast suddenly turned to the right, and more than a dozen huge wind blades appeared out of thin air from the wolf's mouth, cutting through the air and shooting to the right side.

"Woohoo!"

It turned out that a black mist appeared next to it at some point, and the black mist kept rolling and rolling, and a burly and tall figure in armor walked in the black mist. His armor was jet black and shiny, and among his horns and helmet, two large clusters of miserable green ghostly fire burned in them.

The huge wind blade slashed at the body of the black mist figure, leaving only a few light white marks on the armor.

One of the wind blades slashed into the gap between the helmet and the neck guard, but it didn't react, and it didn't slow the figure in the black mist.

The armored warrior indifferently glanced at the two men and one beast in front of him, paused slightly as he looked at Leighton, and continued to look for an opponent worthy of his special attention, and finally his gaze stopped at the giant wind wolf beast. The black mist figure walked towards the wind wolf beast step by step, his steps were very steady and firm, and the grass that passed by each step quickly withered and died under his feet.

Layton felt a trace of cold aura from the black mist, as if it was accompanied by a cold silence like death, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The Wind Wolf Beast looked a little restless, leaning down and roaring in a threatening manner. From the black mist figure, I felt a trace of cold death, and I felt a deep fear. Completely lost the majesty of facing an old man and a young man just now.

"Whew-"

The Wind Wolf Beast clamped its tail and turned to run away.

The man in the black fog looked at the wind wolf beast fleeing into the distance like a dead thing. Pulling out the long knife on his waist, a thick black mist erupted and continued to surge, and he could vaguely see several remnant souls of demonic beasts bound on the long knife, screaming fiercely at all the living souls around him.

He grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, raised it above his head, and slashed it out from top to bottom, and the black knife qi blew through the woods on both sides, and a remnant soul of a demonic beast appeared, constantly struggling and howling angrily, attacking the wind wolf beast.

The Wind Wolf Beast felt the aura of death following behind him, and there was no way to avoid it. As the sword qi entered the body, countless beast remnants pounced on the wind wolf beast, only to let out a miserable scream. The corpse maintained its inertia and rushed forward, knocking down several large trees in the process. As if it had been sucked dry, the body of the Wind Wolf Beast quickly dried up, and its body was covered with remnant souls that were greedily devouring the soul of the Wind Wolf Beast.

The man in the black mist picked up the long knife and walked to the corpse of the wind wolf beast, and with a wave of the long knife, the remnant soul wailed, and they were all absorbed to the long knife, and there seemed to be a wolf-shaped beast soul on the long knife.

The people in the black mist turned their heads to look at the old and the young, and walked slowly. The old man was not as resolute as he was in the face of the wind wolf beast with the wood-chopping axe in his hand, his hands trembled slightly, and he was a little afraid, it was really the scene in front of him that subverted his cognition.

Yes, anyone who sees this strange scene in front of them will be afraid.

The old man swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked tremblingly, "You, who are you?"

"Dark Warrior. A hoarse voice followed.

The old man thought a little confused, as if he had heard it somewhere, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "You are the legendary undead - the dark warrior? ”

When Layton heard this, he couldn't help but think of the legends about the dark warriors told by the bards of Red Fire City.

The place where the Dark Samurai appears often represents death, destruction.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, your human souls are still of great use to the Lord. The two ghostly flames of the dark warrior flickered, "If you can pass the sacrificial ritual, you will also have great power like me." ”

Two clusters of ghostly fire stared at Layton, "Especially the younger the better, the easier it is to get through." ”

"Wishful thinking. The old man finally mustered up the courage to pick up his axe and slash at the armor of the dark warrior.

With a metal-twisted screech, the wood-chopping axe pierced through the gap between the breastplates, deep into the heart. There was no resistance from the inside of the chest, and it seemed as if there was nothing inside the armor.

The old man didn't expect this to be the result.

"I don't know, you've managed to annoy me," the Dark Knight was annoyed.

The old man turned around, turned around and shouted, "Leighton, run." Then he rushed towards the Dark Warrior without hesitation. Pull out the wood chopping axe and raise it above your head to slash at the head of the dark warrior.

Mortals also want to block the car with the mantis arm. The dark warrior sneered in his heart, as if impatient, and withdrew his fist and swung forward. It was a very simple action, but it seemed to carry a huge amount of energy, and one hand directly penetrated the old man's chest.

The old man was stunned, his hand hanging limply in mid-air, and he turned his head to look at Leighton, and opened his mouth to say something.

The dark warrior withdrew his hand from his dead body, and the old man's body fell limply. And he held a translucent soul tightly in his hand, and the dark warrior opened his mouth, and a huge suction force sucked away the old man's remnant soul. There seemed to be an old man's painful howl in his soul, and his soulless body quickly dried up.

The ghostly fire in the dark warrior's eyes seemed to be even stronger.

Layton watched at this time, and there was a heart-wrenching pain, and he cried out in tears, "Ahhhhhhh ”

rushed over and threw himself on the old man, hugged his lifeless body tightly, mourning beyond words, and tightly clutched the old man's favorite dry tobacco stick in his hand.

His eyes began to become crazy, and he picked up a stone beside him casually, rushed towards the dark knight and smashed it hard, but was weakly bounced off by the armor on the dark warrior's body.

The Dark Warrior struck him with an elbow strike, knocking him unconscious, holding him in one arm. Walking deep into the northern mountains, a cloud of black mist disappeared into the vast mountain forest.
