Chapter 377: Bones

The night in the forest was supposed to be quiet and peaceful, with the occasional whisper or two of monsters. However, this was not the case with Lilith's eyes.

After disembarking from the carriage, they followed the map of Sagrete for a long distance.

The smell in the air proved that they had chosen the right path, and the oncoming evening breeze mixed with the strong smell of blood. Horrific corpses littered the sides of the path, the dead wearing the emblem of the Adventurer's Guild, whom Lilith recognized as Barendav's descendants.

These people like to wear red ribbons around their arms to highlight their differences.

Old Jack covered his nose and forced himself to feel the range in his heart. He regretted it, this was by no means the adventure he was expecting, he missed the picture of fighting side by side with Lin Qiu in Atlantis, but he didn't miss the corpses, especially these corpses surrounded by stumps and broken arms.

He felt like he was going to have nightmares for a year.

"These people were all killed with a single blow. Senna crouched down and examined one of the bodies.

It's not uncommon for people to die at this turbulent thought, but it's rare to die so strangely. If the wound were examined closely, anyone would imagine the scene before them as a tragedy brewed after a war between humans and monsters, but Senna felt that this was not the case.

There was no sign of a fight, and what was even more strange was that the corpse he examined had been cut off by someone, but he still had a smile on his face.

There were also no signs of fierce fighting, and the trees were intact with blood all over the ground.

Not only did this man not anticipate his own death, but even a second before he died, he was still talking and laughing with the people around him, not realizing the sharp blade that was swinging at him from behind. Senna speculated that the blade must have been slashed upwards from the diagonal back, as evidenced by the missing head of the corpse that had fallen not far from the half-cut corpse.

The power of that sword was so great that it shattered the poor adventurer's head without a trace.

"This does not bode well. Sagrete looked at the corpse and felt a chill in her heart.

Unlike Bernsena, he lived in Taine for many years and knew Barendav's Red Turban troops very well. Barendav has a complete and detailed process for selecting troops, and those who can join the Red Turban Force are the best of the adventurers' guild, and after becoming a Red Turban, they will also undergo rigorous knightly training.

Although Barendav's forces were not as good as the war maniac Jacobella and the Trotter family, the overlords of the East China Sea, no one in the Twenty-Three Neutrals dared to underestimate this force. On the way here, Sagrete had been worried about clashing with Barendav's Red Turban troops, but he didn't want the other party to be wiped out here in this way.

And he really couldn't think of anyone who had the ability to wipe out Barendav's troops.

"Didn't find Barendav, he's not here. Byrne searched for a full circle and reported back to Lilith.

"Do you want to go any further?" I suggest you find a way to meet up with Tyr. Old Jack was honest with his opinion. He felt that whoever killed these people fully proved that the other party was a complete murderer. And he is the least good at it, and he doesn't like to deal with murderers the most.

What he means is, why can't you sit down and solve the problem peacefully after defeating the other side?

Just like after Lin Qiu defeated Yermungad, the two shook hands and made peace, not to mention how close the relationship between the two is. Old Jack often told the guests of the Chamber of Commerce about this experience, which was a great example of the peaceful settlement of disputes.

"I agree with Old Jack. "Normally Senna doesn't like to express opinions, but this time, he had to step up.

The uneasiness in their hearts was even stronger, if the enemy they faced could wipe out Barendav's most elite troops in an instant, then they would also be annihilated in an instant. They were on a shortcut road, and not far from that they reached the legendary Lake Gallon, where Senna had a hunch that they would encounter something.

"Keep going. Lilith's eyelids twitched violently, and the strong smell of blood made her want to retch.

"But......" Old Jack was about to argue something, but Bourne interrupted him, and said, "The eldest lady has decided, and we will move on." ”

"Forward?"

A faint female voice sounded above their heads, and in the light of the moonlight, a tall woman leaned lazily against a tree branch. She had a pair of eerie red pupils, but the most striking thing was the huge scythe that hung diagonally from the branches behind her.

"I'm afraid it's not the right time yet. ”

This is the second time Lilith has faced each other head-on.

The difference is that this time the other party brought her a much colder feeling than the last time.

Byrne and Senna stared at the woman in the treetops motionless.

They wanted to draw their swords, take a step in front of Lilith, and say a word or two about the scene. But the reality is that their feet can't move as if they were filled with lead, and the woman just glares at them lightly, and they become frogs targeted by a giant python.

In this case, not to mention drawing the sword, even breathing consumes their great physical strength.

"This ...... You did it?" asked Lilith, freed from a strong sense of restraint.

The woman was a little surprised.

She remembered the last time she saw Lilith, who was just a timid little girl, and didn't even have the courage to face her.

The woman said leisurely, "I'm not interested in slaughtering these powerless fellows, but with their blessings, I have the opportunity to witness the power of the Divine Tree with my own eyes." ”

"Since it's not you, don't stop me. Hearing the Sacred Tree, Lilith said.

"Tsk, since you are so determined, then I will give you a small assessment. The woman raised her right hand, and there was a string of beast bone bracelets tied to her wrists, and under the beast bone bracelets, there were white magic patterns: "Don't worry, your opponent is not me, if you can solve them, maybe you won't be killed by the aftermath of the battle between those two guys." ”

As she spoke, there was a sound from Lilith's side.

"Holy Maiden, I must be dreaming—Byrne, tell me it's just a nightmare!" Old Jack suddenly exclaimed, the scene in front of him was no longer as simple as a year's nightmare, and he felt that the rest of his life would probably be spent in the shadows.

- The sound of the rope came from the corpse on the ground, and the knight of the Red Turban Corps, who had been cut off by the waist, stumbled up from the ground, holding the ground with one hand and reaching out to his lower body, which was not far away. He drew the knight's sword, used his left hand as a support point, and slowly moved it towards several people.

The surrounding corpses were all alive, and under the control of the woman's inscription, they exuded unexplained whispers from their mouths, dragging their bloody bodies to surround Lilith and the others.

"Good luck, then. ”

The woman in the tree squinted her eyes and took a nap as if no one was around.
