Chapter 272: Prey

As the night grew darker, the number of Flame Knights patrolling the streets gradually decreased, and they only walked back and forth on some of the main streets. After a busy day, the soldiers were also tired, and they returned to the barracks to rest, leaving only some soldiers and horses on duty. Although the east gate is still dangerous, and the pythons outside the city are eyeing it, for the general's mansion, at least the city is safe. After a bloody expulsion, the adventurers and caravans stranded in the city did not dare to gather again to protest, and did not even dare to leave the door of the inn.

Danger comes when the soldiers are lax in their defenses.

Hong Yuan was like a ghost that only appeared at night, walking through the dark alleys, secretly staring at a group of flame knights.

There were not many of them, and they didn't patrol around on horseback like the others, but were stationed at an intersection to keep an eye on the people living in the nearby inns to prevent people from gathering and making noise.

Hong Yuan lurked in the darkness, looking coldly at this group of flame knights. The tail of the Scorpion King lying on his shoulder stood up high and trembled at high speed, making a unique abnormal sound, which did not sound loud to people, drowned in the sound of the wind and people's laughter, but the ancient tomb knife scorpions scattered within a radius of hundreds of meters heard the order and surrounded from all directions.

Slowly, the scorpions got closer and closer, quickly gathering a large group of scorpions, and the team of flame knights was still unaware. There were only seven of them, only two of them were actually on duty, and the other five were asleep by the fire. Even the two soldiers who were on guard, one was dozing off with his head down, and the other was dazed and drunk.

The courage and killing in broad daylight made the soldiers get carried away and completely relaxed, although they were still on guard all night, but they were only perfunctory orders from their superiors.

The scorpions were closer, and this time, the sentry who was dozing off with his head down finally sensed it, vaguely heard rustling footsteps, and suddenly raised his head. I pricked up my ears and listened, but I couldn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything unusual around me.

"Grass House Seven, what's wrong, you're having nightmares again?" the drunkard asked, smiling as he looked at the sentry who suddenly woke up, no one knew what this guy's name was, and he had forgotten everything. only knows that his parents gave birth to seven in one go, and he is the youngest in seventh. Because the family is poor, when the neighbors began to live in brick houses, they were still living in leaky grass houses, so they were called grass houses seven.

"Brother, did you hear anything?" asked Kusawabo Qi.

"Yes. The old drunkard nodded solemnly.

"What's the sound?"

Kusawabo Qi became even more nervous and asked, "Is it the sound of some assassin's footsteps?"

"Not footsteps, but screams, women's voices. In the middle of the night, I don't know which beauty is screaming, dead and alive, alive and dead, hahaha...... "The old drunkard laughed, hiccuped, and after he was full, he began to move somewhere, thinking about whether to pretend to come to the door to check, find a female tenant who lived alone, and then ......

The old drunkard laughed, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

In the past few days, there have been large-scale strict investigations, and there are not a few brothers who have taken advantage of many advantages, and some of them have long been familiar with the road. The victim was forced by the power of the Flame Knights in the Ghost Gate, and he couldn't get rid of his great grievances, so he endured it silently, and he didn't know what to do, that is, he was caught in the general's mansion and put in prison, and the consequences were even more bleak.

"I mean, really, man, something really doesn't seem right. Caofangqi was a little speechless, listening seriously, thinking that the old drunkard had also heard something unusual, but he didn't expect this guy to have a serious word.

"I'm also serious, there are beautiful women calling. There is an inn nearby, there is a beautiful woman who is very smart, I heard that it is from the East China Sea, the skin is white and tender, tsk, pinch it to pinch out the water, and the whole person is pressed up......"

The old drunkard was drunk, and the more he talked, the more obscene he became, and then, when he saw the grass house seven sitting opposite him, his face was pale, and even his body trembled, "Grass house seven, what's wrong?"

"Night...... , Daredevil!"

The seven teeth of the grass house rattled, and he stretched out his hand and pointed behind the old drunkard, trembling all over, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"How is that possible? You kid must have lost his eyes!"

The old drunkard shook his head and turned to see what was going on. As a result, as soon as he turned around, a cold knife came into view, and he was slashed head-on, just on a pair of eyes, and suddenly the blood flowed like a note, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and a pair of eyes were useless. Immediately after, there was a scream of Kusawafang Qi in his ears, and then the muffled sound of his body falling to the ground.

Hong Yuan, who was lurking in the darkness, suddenly made a move.

First, he destroyed the old drunkard's eyes with a single sword, and then took out another sentinel, Kusa Fangqi, with lightning speed. The Scorpion King, who was lying on his shoulder, jumped out and led the army of scorpions to rush up, drowning the five flame knights who were sleeping beside the fire. These five people are also extraordinary, they are all the elite of the Flame Knights, but they are sleeping soundly and defenseless. Some were bitten off their throats before they could wake up, and some woke up quickly, only to die even more painfully, rolling and struggling helplessly under the swarm of scorpions, wailing and swallowing their last breath.

"Enemy attack, everyone be careful!"

"Caofang Seven, where is your kid, Caofang Seven?"

The old drunkard shouted in horror, and a pair of eyes couldn't see anything, so he could only reach out and grope in a panic, but as a result, he touched something slimy on the ground, and carefully picked it up and fumbled for a while, and suddenly reacted, knowing that it was the head of the grass house seven in his hand.

"The night demon, the night demon is coming, it's the night demon ......"

The old drunkard threw out the head of Caofang Qi with a shake of his hand, stood up and ran wildly, screaming in despair as he ran, and his soul was frightened.

Behind him, the five flame knights stopped struggling and fell in a pool of blood like the seven grass houses. The Scorpion King slowly crawled out of one of the flame knights, a pair of large iron tongs and the scorpion tail were stained with blood, and there was a faint flow of blood light on his body, after devouring the qi and blood essence and strength of these five flame knights, it seemed that his skills were more profound and about to transform again. Looking at the old drunkard who stumbled and fled for his life, his tail was raised high, and he wanted to catch up and kill them all.

"Little one, stop chasing, let him go! Tonight, there is a lot of prey!"

Hong Yuan stopped the Scorpion King, coldly glanced at the figure of the old drunken ghost fleeing for his life, deliberately left a living mouth, turned around and walked away. He didn't go far before the Scorpion King quickly chased after him, jumped on Hong Yuan's shoulder and lay down, and the dense scorpion group spread out in all directions, lurking in the darkness again.

The night was dark, and when the soldiers patrolling nearby heard the news, Hong Yuan and the scorpion group had already walked away, leaving only six corpses and blood all over the ground. In particular, the five corpses next to the fire looked as if they had been bitten by a fierce and bloodthirsty beast, and there was no longer an inch of intact muscle on their bodies. The soldiers were also fierce in the past, but they almost vomited after seeing these corpses.

"Someone come, report to the Grand Commander immediately. ”

The cavalry captain gave a deep order, and after a hasty glance at the corpses on the ground, he knew that the matter was serious and could not be dealt with by himself, and he was so nervous that he was sweating.

"But, captain, the Grand Commander is only afraid that he has ...... at this time" The herald stopped talking again, looking embarrassed.

When the Great Commander Zhou Tiejun was sleeping or cultivating, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb him, and at this time, he hurriedly returned to the General's Mansion to report the news, and it was still such bad news, and he accidentally touched his head.

"Immediately! Just say that there is an unknown super demon in the city, hurry!"

The cavalry captain's face was ugly, and as soon as he finished speaking, there were frightened cries for help and screams in the darkness, which came from the place where the other cavalry squad was stationed, only three streets away.

"The Daredevil, it's a Daredevil!"

"Help, captain save me, save me......"

......

In the cold wind, the wails of the soldiers were heard. The captain of the cavalry was about to ride his horse and lead the people to rush over to support, when he heard the wailing sound from the wind, his face suddenly changed color, and the soldiers under his command were the same, and even trembled.

The ferocity of the Night Demon has long been known in Night Dragon City and the Ghost Gate Pass, otherwise, the Night Demon Stone Forest would not be a forbidden place in the Gods and Ghosts Continent. Wind rumors, when you encounter this kind of demon who only haunts under the shady, even a team of great masters of the Quartet Realm will die!

"Daredevil...... , is there really a night demon who escaped from the night demon stone forest and came to the ghost gate?"

The cavalry captain muttered to himself, and the courage of leading his elite soldiers to kill all sides during the day was gone, replaced by unprecedented tension and fear, "Quick, go back to the General's Mansion immediately and report to the commander, quickly!"

"Yes!"

This time, the herald did not dare to hesitate any longer, glanced at the darkness at the end of the street, and rushed out on horseback, trying to rush back to the general's palace to report the news. As a result, as he was about to disappear in front of everyone, a figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness, cut the herald and his crotch war horse in half with a single sword, and then disappeared with a laugh.

"Dressed in black heavy armor and with black horns on his head, it's really a night demon!"

"That's right, it's the Daredevil, the legendary Daredevil......"

......

The soldiers were in an uproar and looked around in horror, and for a moment everyone was in danger.

Hong Yuan retreated with a single blow, and after killing the herald in public, he quickly retreated, and walked in the darkness to find the next target. The tomb scorpions all over the city are his assistants and eyes and ears, hiding from the large groups of people and horses, looking for lone soldiers or small cavalry squads. False and real, sometimes the target is wiped out, sometimes only one is deliberately killed, or only one is left alive, deliberately making the soldiers suspect themselves and create a large-scale panic.

The tide of monsters is coming, and the snakes are ready to move outside the city gates;

Now, the Daredevil has also arrived and has begun to haunt the night.

Zhou Tiejun blocked the city gate under the pretext of the demon beast wave and the threat of the night demon, and Hong Yuan simply took the plan and created more and more pressure on the ghost gate, taking Chu Yannan and Zhou Tiejun's difficulties as an experience. Especially Chu Yannan, instead of fighting him viciously in the Night Demon Stone Forest, it is better to have a big battle now, severely damage the old guy and the Chu family disciples led by him, and even kill them all!

Hong Yuan didn't want to fight and kill at every turn, but when he encountered someone like Chu Yannan, he would never be soft.
