Andrew followed the boy through the living room into the back kitchen.

The kitchen was a mess, the door at the back of the kitchen was open, the basket on the long table in the kitchen was filled with some tomatoes and onions and carrots, the fireplace was covered with charcoal ash after the wood had been burned, and there was an iron pot hanging from the fireplace, and the contents of the iron pot were so burnt that even the fireplace was blackened with black smoke, and a few chairs had been knocked over on the floor, and hooks with dried meat and ham were still hanging in the corner.

There was still a bitten pig's foot on one of the iron hooks, which looked like a large ham, and from the traces, it should have been gnawed clean by the hellhounds, and one of the iron hooks even had some dried purple blood on it.

He scrutinized the layout of the kitchen, as if recalling something, and paused for about a minute before he began to act

The boy glanced with some disappointment at the corner, where two hams and some dried horse meat should have been hung. He found a piece of dried cheese from one cupboard, a whole stack of baked wheat cakes from the cabinet below, and unrotten onions and carrots from the basket, and put them neatly into his backpack, which he didn't know how many things were in it.

A large, round pumpkin could be seen from Surdak's blurred vision.

The boy looked disappointed and said, "These damn vicious dogs, they have eaten all the ham here, and they can actually eat our food." ”

Andrew stood behind the boy and said in a low tone, "They eat everything, they shouldn't have found these cheeses and baked wheat crackers, otherwise they won't leave you with anything." ”

"I was hoping to find some meat to go back! This is old Brown's home, and he told me that he had plenty of ham in his house, and that he could find some ham, so I ventured here. "Looking at the vegetables in the backpack, I want to cry without tears, and these things are not full.

He tried to open all the doors of the closet, but there were only some kitchen utensils, all of them were porcelain, clay pots, and the like.

Andrew looked at the boy and thought for a moment before asking, "Do you want to eat meat?" It's easy! Is there enough water in the basement where you are hiding? ”

The boy nodded vigorously, and then said to Andrew, "Well, there is an underground water channel connected there, and unless that one runs dry, we won't be short of water." ”

Andrew nodded, patted his big rough hand on his chest, and assured the boy, "That's going to be easy!" Look at me! ”

He very rudely pushed everything on the wooden table to the ground, and found a thick tablecloth to spread on it, he quickly walked out of the kitchen, dragged the corpses of the three hellhounds in the living room into the kitchen, and took out a skinning knife to quickly peel off the skin of the hellhounds, and threw them on the square table in a bloody manner, cut open the chest cavity, peeled off the foul-smelling organs inside, chopped off four paws and tails, scooped out some cold water from the water tank next to it and splashed it on it, repeatedly rinsing the dirty blood in the cavity of the hellhound.

When Andrew did these things, the reconnaissance team carefully searched the room, and Viscount Emmett was worried that the movement here would attract the hellhounds patrolling the streets, so he sent people to guard the front and rear doors carefully, but in the stealth state, communication can only do some simple gestures, and only at close range can see each other, so communication is very difficult.

Soon, Andrew began to cut the fresh meat from the Hellhounds, and then found a salt shaker in the kitchen and sprinkled the salt on the Cerberus's fresh meat to marinate.

While quickly cutting the fresh meat, he told the boy: "These meats themselves have a certain amount of toxin, they must be soaked in water to produce poisonous blood, and they can only be eaten when they are cooked. ”

He picked the meat from the three hellhounds very cleanly, washed them and salted them again, picked them up in a dining cloth and carried them behind his back, and kept admonishing: "Boiled meat, you can only eat it and not drink soup, otherwise it will hurt your stomach." ”

The boy nodded vigorously as if he were pounding garlic, indicating that he remembered.

Andrew followed the boy out of the room cautiously, lowered his voice and asked, "We can also go to other places to find some food, you are familiar with the town, you should know where to find food, maybe we can go to the nearby bakery to find it." ”

The boy cautiously poked his head out of the crack in the door, and when he saw that the alley was quiet, he quickly slipped out of the crack and said to Andrew, "Well, I know where the bakery is, but there's a big dog there, and I can't get it away." ”

"We'll be able to try it later, but all you need to do now is ship these things back......" Andrew said, gesturing to the heavy packages on their bodies.

The boy carried the heavy package on his back, climbed up the courtyard wall with his hands and feet, and then crouched on the wall to beckon Andrew to hurry up as well.

Andrew rolled over and climbed up the wall, the whole wall shook slightly, the boy squatted on the wall with a pale face, stuck out his tongue with an apologetic face, and said, "It seems that we are still walking from below, it is safer......"

Three hellhounds passed by the mouth of the alley, and Andrew hurriedly pulled the boys to lie down against the wall, until the hellhounds were far away, and the two jumped off the wall.

The boy led the way, he was very familiar with the town, and his path was almost always narrow alleys.

He didn't know that beside Andrew, there were six knights who had been hiding in the shadows and watching him silently. The kind of words spoken by the boy with maca dialect and Nanai indigenous language, probably only Andrew can communicate smoothly, there will be a few hellhounds passing by from time to time on the main street, this town is much bigger than expected, the alleys in the houses are very complicated, probably only children like boys who have lived in the town since childhood, know how to get out of the cobweb-like alleys.

As soon as the boy stepped out of a dark alley, he saw two hellhounds digging a garbage heap, and they raised their heads for the first time, two pairs of purple eyes looked at the boy for two seconds, and the hellhounds didn't even make any sound, their huge bodies turned flexibly, and their hind legs kicked the ground, and pounced towards the boy.

The boy quickly turned around and ran, and the vicious dog rushed behind the boy like lightning, put its claws on the boy's shoulders, and bit the boy's neck vertebrae with a huge mouth.

A large axe emerged from the shadows at the boy's side, with a fierce wind.

Hellhound tilted his head and was about to bite the boy's neck, when he saw the giant axe emerging from the shadows, and his huge body immediately bounced up, trying to dodge the axe, and bit the big hands holding the handle of the axe......

Andrew pressed the handle of the axe hard, and the handle of the axe sank violently, and the blade of the axe slashed on the back of the Hellhound, and suddenly there was a crisp bone cracking sound, and suddenly the back of the Hellhounds was split by the giant axe with a deep wound to the bone.

The hellhound that followed behind was so frightened that it stopped in pursuit, it curled up with its tail between its legs, and let out a warning howl towards the empty night sky, but before the sound could be heard, in the shadows on the side of its body, a blood-colored curved blade appeared out of thin air, easily cutting off its head.

Surdak carried the bloody head of the Hellhound in one hand and the blood-red crescent in the other, and then he kicked the body of the Hellhound away, walked over to Andrew, and took the Hellhound head from Andrew's hand.

The boy looked at Surdak in amazement, then at Andrew, and wisely shut his mouth.

"This is my captain......" Andrew felt the need to introduce Surdak to the boy.

The boy nodded, and didn't ask much, and walked in front very consciously, the vent in the basement was set up very secretly, just by the north wall of a small courtyard, and there was an iron window for the vent, and the boy skillfully removed the iron window, the vent was only a foot square, and the boy could just climb in.

He divided the contents of the package into portions, and moved the contents into the passage little by little like a hamster, first wheat cakes and cheese, then shallots, carrots, and squash, and finally some of Andrew's pickled vicious dog meat.

By the time the boy climbed up, it had been a long time, and Andrew was even a little impetuous, and just when he thought that the boy would probably not climb out, the boy struggled to crawl out of it, the hole was very small, several parts of his body were worn by the vents, and his face was still stained with red slap prints.

The boy climbed out and looked at Surdak and reconfirmed, "Reinforcements from the city of Vožmara are coming soon, aren't they?" ”

"Of course, the Bednar Heavy Cavalry is fighting the hellhounds outside of Warzhmara, and now that there are two fully assembled swordsmen in Warjmara, we are looking for a suitable place to attack." Surdak said to the boy.

There was a hint of hope on the boy's face, and even his eyes brightened a lot.

It's just that there is another sentence later, and Surdak didn't say to the boy: there are three such attack locations, and only when the Demon Gate or Hell Pass is discovered, the Bednar coalition will attack it as soon as possible.

"What's wrong with your face?" Andrew leaned over to the boy and asked.

Reaching out to touch it, the boy turned his head to dodge.

The boy's eyes darkened slightly, and he explained in a low voice: "They don't want me to go out on an adventure, we had a little argument about it, I know they are concerned about me, they are worried that the reinforcements will not arrive in time, once I have an accident, many people will starve to death in the basement, the exit of the basement has been completely blocked from the outside, and they can't get out at all without the help of outsiders!" ”

Surdak patted the boy's emaciated shoulder and said, "It's really dangerous, in fact, you just need to help us point us in the specific direction, of course, it's better to tell us how to go!" ”

When the boy heard Surdak say this, he shook his head without hesitation, raised his face and said stubbornly, "Since the Bena Swordsmen are here, they will definitely avenge the dead in the town...... I also want to do something for the relatives who have returned to the embrace of God Paglio! And...... Manly man will do what he says! ”

"Huh!" Surdak couldn't help but smile after hearing this, he was full of affection for the indigenous boy, and Surdak asked seriously, "Little man, what's your name?" ”

"Buta!" The boy replied.

"My name is Surdak!"

Surdak stretched out his fist at the boy, and the boy reached out his fist, and the two fists collided.

……

The residential area of Umezu Town is very densely built, with stone houses close to each other and small yards.

Surdak and Andrew followed Buta all the way, and the trio almost perfectly avoided the vicious dogs patrolling the streets, and took advantage of the darkness to cross most of the town of Umezu.

The town is very clean, there are no corpses to be seen along the way, if it weren't for some dried blood stains on the street, it is likely to make people mistakenly think that the residents here have just disappeared out of thin air, Surdak looked at a boot that fell on the side of the street, and he couldn't help but say the doubts in his heart: "What about the rest of the town?" Have they all been eaten by hellhounds? ”

The boy Buta shook his head vigorously and said in a low voice, "I don't know, the first time I got out of the basement, I saw a lot of hellhounds on the streets, and all the hellhounds in this town were dragging those dead people to the town temple at that time!" ”

"You mean they always gather human corpses?" Wondering what the hellhounds were trying to do, Surdak asked the boy, "Where is the temple?" ”

"Right there......" The boy leaned against the wall and pointed to the tall Gothic building hidden in the night not far away.

In the twilight, through the pitch black night, Surdak saw at a glance that there were hundreds of hellhounds entrenched in the dark temple door, and among these hellhounds, there were several huge hellhounds shuttling through them.

The stone slabs of the entire street are stained with a thick layer of bloodstains, both old and new, like trails that come from all directions, and all the bloodstains eventually belong to this temple.

There was an intermittent cry of a night owl in the temple, and it was like a magical magic that made people distracted.

The boy tried to go inside, but was grabbed by Surdak, who said to the boy, "We can find a hidden place here to hide......

The boy looked at Surdak with a puzzled expression, Surdak shrugged his shoulders, there were many patrolling hellhounds in the nearby area, the boy jumped over the wall and jumped into a courtyard, opening the closed gate from the inside, and the three of them hid in this courtyard.

Just after the three of them had taken refuge, the howls of hellhounds could be heard in the distance.

"Whew......"

The hellhounds guarding the temple gate looked a little irritable, and some hellhounds chased the sound, but there were still many hellhounds guarding the temple gate.

Surdak crouched on the roof, quietly watching from this temple, staring for a while, Surdak found that there was no Hellhound in the temple to keep coming out, which can rule out the suspicion that there is a demon gate or a hell passage, otherwise the hellhound coming out of here will definitely not be just that.

"Andrew, what exactly did you say was hidden in that temple?" Surdak leaned on the roof and asked Andrew, who was beside him.

"Maybe we'll find out later......" Andrew replied.
