"What, someone is dead again?"

The village elder's face became even more anxious, and he subconsciously looked at Viscount Fergus, only then did he suddenly remember and hurriedly said.

"This is Lord Viscount, hurry up and meet Lord Viscount."

The villagers had already discovered that there was a big man in the village, after all, there were dozens of cavalry guarding outside, and when they heard that it was actually the largest viscount in the territory, they quickly knelt down.

"I've seen Lord Viscount!"

"Get up!"

Viscount Fergus motioned for the other party to stand up and asked.

"Are the bodies of the two dead children still there?"

"Still, it's still kept."

Knowing that the person in front of him was actually a viscount, the middle-aged man was a little unfavorable to speak.

"Take us there!"

Viscount Fergus stood up and commanded.

"Yes, yes."

The middle-aged man with messy hair hurriedly led the way in front, and after a few rounds around the village, he came to a small flat muddy field in the village.

There, more than 100 villagers dressed in rough clothes gathered, both men and women, but none of them were young, probably for fear of scaring the children, and they all drove the children of each family home.

The expressions on their faces were worried, scared, numb, and varied.

Surrounded by them were two straw mats, because there were so many people around them that they couldn't see what was on top of them.

"Everyone, come and meet Lord Viscount, this is Lord Viscount!"

The old man of the village trotted over and shouted to the crowd.

"Lord Viscount? It's Lord Viscount!! ”

"Quick, get down on your knees, it's Lord Viscount!!"

More than 100 villagers threw themselves on their knees despite the muddy ground, and their faces showed sincere fear.

For these ordinary villagers, a lord is already a big man, a viscount who is two levels higher than the lord, and that is even more of a heavenly lord.

"Get up!"

Accompanied by a group of soldiers, Gray and his party walked over, and Viscount Fergus glanced at the more than 100 villagers and said lightly.

"Lord Viscount Xie!"

The more than 100 villagers stood up one after another, and they didn't dare to pat the dust on their knees, so they had to stand stiffly.

"Lord Viscount, the bodies of those two children are there!"

The middle-aged man said with messy hair and blamed the two straw mats behind the villagers.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The soldiers brutally stepped forward and drove the villagers who were blocking the way to the two straw mats so that the Gray Five could pass.

Soon the five of them walked to the two straw mats.

On top of the tattered two straw mats, there were two corpses of children less than ten years old, both of whom were boys.

Next to them, there were two couples looking at the boys on the straw mat with sad faces, probably the parents of the two boys.

The appearance of the two boys was very miserable, on the corpses, the flesh was blurred, and the blood was dripping, and the traces of sharp teeth could be clearly seen.

One of the boys, dressed in brown sackcloth, was already stained red with blood, and most of his neck had been bitten off, revealing obvious cavities, and at the edges, the marks of teeth could be clearly seen.

The other boy was also covered with the teeth of the beast, and the left side of his stomach was directly gone, and even internal organs and intestines flowed out of his body.

"Wow......"

Seeing the corpses of the two boys, Caroline's face turned pale, and she quickly looked away and looked to the side.

Gray, Bernal, and Ellis have all been on the battlefield and killed people, and although the appearance of the corpses is bloody, it can barely be endured.

Caroline, on the other hand, had never seen a dead person or killed anyone, and when she suddenly saw such a bloody corpse, her face suddenly turned bad.

"Sister Caroline, are you alright?"

Gray noticed the change in Caroline's face and asked worriedly.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable!"

Caroline shook her head palely, but she no longer dared to look at the bodies of the two children.

Seeing that although the other party's face was slightly pale, it was indeed fine, Gray looked back at the corpses of the two boys, and his brow became furrowed.

The age of the two children, less than ten years old, so young, was buried under the sharp teeth of the beast.

Although I have long known that this world is a cruel world, the law is not perfect, and human life is like grass, I still can't help but sigh deeply, this is really a cruel world.

At the same time, he couldn't help but rejoice for a while, fortunately, the body he occupied was related to the nobles, even if it was an illegitimate child, but after all, it was an illegitimate child of the nobles, so he would not face this unknown fate all the time.

Moreover, this body also has excellent cultivation talents, especially the kind of inexplicable "transformation" that can quickly increase his strength, as long as he is given time, he can grow up and have the strength to protect himself.

Compared to the two dead little boys, he can be said to be extremely lucky.

"Farr, can you tell what kind of beast's tooth marks this is?"

After a few glances, Viscount Fergus looked at a tall and thin soldier next to him and asked.

"Lord Viscount, the one who bit these two children to death should be a leopard."

The tall and thin soldier approached, looked at him carefully, and said.

Before becoming a castle soldier, he was a hunter, often dealing with all kinds of beasts, and he knew very well about the tooth marks of all kinds of beasts, and the tooth marks of ordinary beasts could be distinguished by just a glance.

"Hmm."

Viscount Fergus nodded, looked back at Gray and said.

"You four come with me to explore the Akaba Forest!"

"Yes."

All four of Gray nodded.

Although they had indirectly seen the ferocity of the beast from the corpses of the two boys, they had no intention of being afraid.

None of them are ordinary people, even Ellis and Caroline have the strength of a blood warrior, so they naturally won't be afraid of a few beasts.

Gray showed a hint of eagerness on his face, the last hunt could be said to be a lot of fun, this time, it was replaced by a "big guy", and he was even more looking forward to it.

The only thing to worry about is the blood beast that may exist in the speculation, but with the "big master" of Viscount Fergus, even if there is a blood beast, he is not needed to face it, as long as he does not rush towards the blood beast stupidly, safety is still guaranteed.

Including Viscount Fergus and Gray, plus five elite soldiers, a total of 10 people walked towards the Akaji Forest.

I didn't bring all the soldiers with me, there were too many people, there was too much movement, and in the forest, it was easy to expose your whereabouts and be attacked by wild beasts.

And the five elite soldiers who followed were not chosen at random, the five of them either had hunting and survival experience, or they had search experience, and the soldier named Farr before was among them.

Smack, smack, smack!

The ten people were either young adults, or people who practiced blood methods, and their lowest strength had reached the lower level of blood warriors, and their feet were extremely fast, but in just ten minutes, they came to the outside of the Red Leaf Forest.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Giethoorn is too close to the Akaba Forest, and it is indeed easy to be attacked by wild beasts.

The Red Leaf Forest, a red forest, spreads into the endless distance, and there is no end to the red, like a fiery cloud spreading across the sky.

Most of them are trees with red leaves, and only a few have green or yellow leaves.

The red leaves on these trees are not exactly the same, not only in shape but also in color, ranging from pale red, crimson, and vermilion, and it is clear that there are many types of red-leaved trees here.

This is probably also the origin of its Akaji Forest.

Click, click, click!

When they came here, all ten of them became cautious, and walked slowly and gently.

There was no sound of talking, only the occasional crunch of feet stepping on dry fallen leaves.

At the forefront was the soldier named Farr, who had experience in hunting in the forest, and Viscount Fergus asked him to lead the way.

Gray walked in the center of the line, and like him, there were Bernal, Ellis, and Caroline, and next to them was Viscount Fergus, so that in case of emergency, Viscount Fergus could immediately react and help them.

As he followed, Gray looked around, wary and appreciative.

Straight trees, curvy vines, and tenacious weeds growing between trees......

The forest is beautiful, and anyone who sees it will be amazed by its beauty.

Of course, Gray is more vigilant.

Forests are beautiful, but they are also dangerous, they are beautiful because they are rare, and because they are rare, they don't know what is in them, so they are dangerous.

His hand touched the hilt of the long sword hanging from his left waist, which was given to him by Viscount Fergus the last time he went to Viscount Oliver, and he didn't take it back afterwards, knowing that he might encounter a beast this time, he brought it over.

Swish!

Suddenly, a long, reddish figure quickly descended from a red-leaved tree and struck Caroline next to Gray.

It was a snake about one meter long and pale red all over, hidden in the red leaf tree, and it didn't even find the other party.

Click!

Gray's hand quickly touched the long sword on the left side of his waist, and the long sword was unsheathed, and he took two steps forward, blocking Caroline behind him, and swept out the sword.

Burst!

The long sword swept slightly lower on the head of the red long snake, and suddenly, with a little blood splatter, a triangular snake head flew up and fell to the ground not far away.

The snake body also lost the strength to pounce forward because of the obstruction of the long sword, and fell straight down, smashing on the ground full of fallen leaves, twisting a few times, making the fallen leaves click for a while.

Even if he lost the snake's head, his body did not lose its vitality for the first time, Gray seemed to have seen it in some book in his previous life, saying that this was the snake's spine reaction, whether it was so, the memory was a little vague, and he was not sure.
