Deathly quiet night, lonely and gloomy.

A white crescent moon hung diagonally in the air, and the cold, hazy moonlight shone on a path paved with gravel. At one end of the road leads to the darkness of nothingness, while at the other, it leads to a shadowy town in the distance.

In the town, there is occasionally an ethereal whisper, as if something is constantly telling the hatred of "life". The air is also filled with a kind of extreme greed and hunger, as if the whole space is longing for the bodies and blood of living creatures, eager to suck their marrow, plunder their vitality, and devour their souls......

A black locust tree on the side of the road had lost its original turquoise color, and it was dead like a scrawny old woman. The 'old woman' stood on the side of the road, stretched out her crooked arms, and begged from passers-by.

A split-leaf flower sunflower grew in the middle of the path, but it had already withered and died for an unknown number of years, only because there were no insects in this space, there was no breeze, and even time seemed to have frozen, so that it could maintain its original grace without being disturbed.

At this time, a dragon skin boot suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the boot stepped straight on the body of the split-leaf flower sunflower, crushing it from the eternal "withering".

The owner of the boots stood on the "corpse" of the flower, which had been dead for hundreds of years, and stood still, as if looking around. After a long time, the "assailant" seemed to have made up his mind, and slowly moved forward along the gravel path.

......

Barrett remembered that Mage Alvin had said that although the space was sealed, it was still connected to the main material plane. But before he came, it was obviously a sunny afternoon, and when he stepped into the light curtain, it was a dark and quiet night.

Of course, mages must have their own set of esoteric theories to explain these strange and strange things. For Barrett, however, these theories don't matter. Even if he explained it to him in detail, Barrett didn't think he would understand it too well.

Night is night, he doesn't have the right to choose.

Unless there are other villages and towns in this space, the town in the distance, which is vaguely revealed in the moonlight, should be the target of his adventure - Death Knell Town.

As the barbarian adventurer walked towards the town in the distance, he placed a small round oak shield on his right arm. Immediately after, he pulled the 'Iron Bride' from his waist and held it tightly in his hands.

As soon as she arrived here, Barrett immediately felt an indescribable disgust and uneasiness in her heart. Like the vines outside, he instinctively felt repulsed by the space. However, at this time, the familiar sword blade was in hand, and the feeling of heaviness and blood connection made his heart extremely steady.

Moving cautiously forward, Barrett knew that he had to be cautious, because it would not be easy to get out of here. He needed to complete the mission of Mage Alvin before he had a chance to leave.

"I'll help you get into that sealed space, you help me complete the mission, and then I'll help you escape, you see, that's fair, isn't it. "As for the task itself, it's not really important to me. When I have time someday, it won't take me half a day to get it done. However, I'm a warm-hearted person, I'm busy every day, and you're on the way, isn't that a win-win-win-win thing? Anyway, for me, if you succeed, I'll have one less leg to lose, and if you fail, I have nothing to lose. ”

What the mage said was very sincere, very straightforward, and very much to Barritt's depression.

The town is getting closer. In the distance, a large stone loomed across the middle of the road. Suddenly, Barrett felt a strange itch in his back, as if something was scanning him repeatedly. The emotion in that gaze was so intense that it became like substance.

Murderous intent, hunger, something hungry for his flesh, he could feel it. It is normal to encounter such a creature with extreme emotions in this space, after all, it is connected to the negative energy plane, and Barrett has been mentally prepared for this.

He stopped, turned to look at the dark dead grass diagonally behind him, and met a pair of scarlet, animalistic eyes in the waist-high artemisia grass.

When the murderous creature saw Barrett spot it, it bared its teeth and paced out of the dead grass into the moonlight.

It was a strangely large canine with huge claws and a long, narrow face like a wolf's beak. It has a grayish-black mane on the back of its head, which extends from the back of its head to its back, and gradually decreases.

Its fur was mottled and tattered, and from the holes in the crumbling, you could see the white bones hidden inside.

'Dark Dogs', undead creatures, some of the many natives of the negative energy plane, Barrett had heard a brief introduction from Master Alvin.

"Dogs, be careful with dogs. "It's more dangerous than most zombies and skeletons, and trust me, you won't want to be bitten by it." ”

The creature's bite is so poisonous that it festers immediately if it is scratched even the slightest. The ulcers can also spread to other parts of the body and weaken the victim in a very short period of time.

"Hey, puppy, are you hungry? I can ask you to taste your own ass. Barrett tipped her weapon across her chest and defiantly aimed at the dark dog.

As soon as he said this, he immediately felt that his behavior was very stupid. This dark dog is not the old dog that is very humane in the family, and as a native of the negative energy plane, it is likely that it does not understand the lingua franca at all.

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of Barrett's words, the dark dog was still driven by instinct, and rushed towards Barrett with bared teeth.

Because they often deal with winter wolves, our barbarian adventurers have a lot of experience when dealing with large canine attacks. He squatted slightly and lowered his weight. At the moment when the Dark Dog pounced, Barrett pushed the shield in his right hand up, blocking the claws of the Dark Dog, while the sword in his left hand attacked diagonally from the bottom of the shield.

The shield blocks the attacker's view, making it difficult to detect the murderous motive hidden beneath it. Barrett's sword stabbed through the Dark Dog's jaw and out of the skull. A strange energy burst out of the blade in his hand with Barrity's attack, instantly shattering the soul fire hidden in the dark dog's skull.

The big dog fell to Barritt's feet with a thud, and his scarlet eyes dimmed instantly.

Killing this undead creature was easier than he had imagined, and Barrett couldn't tell if it was due to the innate ability he had chosen, the [Demon Blade].

After all, he hadn't had many opportunities to deal with undead creatures before.

Although the Misty Forest is full of magic and is rich in all kinds of magical beasts, it hardly produces undead. Because the flesh and bones on every corpse there will be digested to the extreme. And the soul, the people of Bay of Pigs believe that the soul of those who die there will become one with the fog.

After dealing with the dark dog, Barrett subconsciously looked at the loot and estimated the possible value of it.

It has good teeth, and it is highly poisonous, and it may sell for a satisfactory price. But the fur on his body is so bad that he can't use it at all. And the dead flesh under the fur is even more useless, and no one wants to taste what the flesh of the undead tastes like, except for themselves.

Our barbarian adventurer resisted the urge to take the dark dog into the 'Song of Saran' and continued on his way towards the town. He was worried that the smell of corruption and withering on this trophy would spread throughout the spatial ring, so he simply left it in place.

But it didn't take long for Barrett to stop again.

For he found that the huge obstacle in the middle of the road not far away was not a rock, but a fat, bloated half-humanoid object made of flesh and blood, like a hill.

The half-humanoid sat motionless in the middle of the path with its back to Barrett and its head down. It seems to be asleep, and it seems like it has been dead for a long time.

No, all the creatures here died out hundreds of years ago. It's just that this space refuses to let them sleep quietly for a long time.

Barrett gripped his saber and approached cautiously. When the distance between the two sides was less than five meters, the unidentified object suddenly moved. He took a few steps back, watching the unidentified creature staggering and slowly standing up.

A large shadow stretched as it stood up, covering where Barrett was.

The giant creature stood up for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Barrett and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, hello. ”
