Chapter 172: The Eve of the Carnival
The young man who brought the disaster, holding a magic sword, with a raging fire burning behind him, such an existence is undoubtedly ominous, but he gives people a very clear feeling of "brave", which makes Gu Xi somewhat confused.
On the night of the bonfire, the "Divine Forge Clan" set up a simple campsite like many nights in the past, and everyone gathered around the campfire to eat simple but solid roasted food, accompanied by a few bottles of strong old wine, which made people feel the good side of life.
"Really! Gu Xi, you're only nine years old this year, maybe you're too precocious, aren't you?"
At a campfire in the center of the camp, Hakaze and Cesar, who were guests, sat in front of the largest tent with Kotetsu and Kotin for dinner, and when the topic was mentioned, Featherwind couldn't help but let out a cry of amazement.
"Nothing special, after all, ......"
After all, I'm not from this world, so you should be the same, right?" Although Gu Xi didn't say this, his gaze conveyed such a meaning, although it seemed that Yu Feng had no way to understand it at all.
Because he wanted to know more about Yu Feng, a young brave man, Gu Xi, who didn't like to interact with people, also pressed his temperament to talk to him, but the more the two talked, the more Gu Xi felt that the person he predicted was probably not this young man.
Seeing people and contemplating the heart, for Gu Xi, who is not a warfighter but has wonderful abilities in many aspects, he can judge the inner part of a person through his expression, tone of voice and some subtle body movements, so as to see through the essence of this person.
Good and bad, beautiful and ugly, even the most capable of disguise can't hide anything in front of Gu Xi, this "Brave Man of the North" is like a mirror, which will truthfully let the other party's character traits and inner thoughts forcibly emerge.
After communicating with Yu Feng for a while, what I saw in the mirror of Gu Xi was a pure and almost spotless scene, like a simple and honest mountain village full of flowers that represent courage, faith and integrity.
So far, Gu Xi has seen many "brave men", but except for the son of the god who even he can't see through, Luo Lan, Xia Nuoya and several others are obviously mixed with too many impurities, which makes their essence as brave men polluted.
But Feather Wind is different from them, and in Gu Xi's opinion, this young man is undoubtedly a person who has the good qualities that all brave men should have, enough to return this title to purity......
How could such a young man be the prophesied star of calamity that destroyed the Holy Capital? At this time, Gu Xi almost instinctively wanted to reject this speculation, and kept struggling in his heart......
As the night deepened, in this dark and silent valley, many majestic figures were constantly walking around the camp because of the perennial forging, while preparing for bed, arranging the camp alarm devices and various defensive traps at night.
Because they knew that their brigade was likely to be attacked recently, under Gu Tie's arrangement, the people of the "Divine Casting Clan" immediately began to show their magical powers, and each arranged a variety of devices.
For example, digging a few deep holes near the entrance to the valley and covering the deep holes with a white cloth and some dust makes for a simple but very useful little trap in the dark.
Or you can connect the sparse trees with black-painted ropes, and then attach the crossbow that fires automatically to the bell, and if someone touches the rope, the crossbow will be designed and the bell will be alarmed.
There are even people who hang many "liquefied lamps" on the various mountain walls of the valley and connect them, and with a little fire, most of the valley can be illuminated as if it were daylight.
Of course, these alarms and traps are of little real use to the masters, but they do prevent them from being attacked in the dark, and prompt them to organize an effective counterattack as quickly as possible......
When the people of the "Divine Forge Clan" had done all this, the moonlight, which was still looming, seemed to have given up its last struggle, leaving the space in the valley to be plunged into almost invisible darkness.
After most of the day's journey, most of the travelers had gone into their tents and gradually fell into a deep sleep, leaving only seven or eight men to keep vigil around the valley.
Among these vigils were Feather Wind and Cesar, and although Gu Tie tried very hard to dissuade them from working too hard, the two young men from the Wings of Dawn insisted on doing so, after all, they were not here for pleasure......
It wasn't long before a small, inky bat emerged from the night like a ghost, fluttering through the trees outside the valley towards it.
But just as the bat flew lightly to a distance of several hundred meters from the entrance of the valley, a slender figure flew out from behind the tree like a ghost!
Before the bat could make a sound, its body was crushed by this hand, and it turned into a pool of pitch-black unidentified objects and fell under the tree.
It is worth mentioning that there are now five figures under the big tree, and judging from their silhouettes, these are about five humans, but the strange thing is that they can't feel half of the human breath from them.
"Hmph, it's really sweet, Yufeng...... And Cesar, you two deliberately came to the door to die, which is so much to my liking. ”
When the figure that had just flown up the tree landed on the ground, a thin but ghostly young face appeared in the faint moonlight.
To be honest, Hades hadn't expected to see those two "old friends" in the ranks of the Divine Forge Clan, and this discovery obviously made him a little more motivated for tonight's hunt.
In another two quarters of an hour, when the moon is completely obscured by dark clouds, my "puppet army" should almost be recharged, plus the "sealing spar" given to me by "that adult", hehe, this time I must let you all have no return!
Under the darkness, Hades watched the figure looming in the valley not far away, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps he had already imagined in his mind the scene of corpses strewn all over there in the near future, and the thrill of ascension had almost fascinated Hades, and he hoped that the killing would come sooner......
However, just as a bloody storm was about to descend on this valley in the northern part of the "Holy Capital", almost the same scene was quietly unfolding next to a small clear lake near the east. 2k reading web
