Time fades into the night sky......

As dawn came, the scout squad left the barracks and stepped into the grass on the outskirts of Samp.

In addition to their regular equipment, each of these scouts carries a clay pot on their backs, which is no different from the usual jars of honey and olive oil in the house, each with a flat-topped dome on it, and when the lid is lifted, one hand can just reach into it.

Each scout filled this clay pot with the finely shredded ashes of Hellhound, a fine ash that rose into the air like green smoke and could almost be blown away by the wind.

This was one of the ways that Aphrodite told Surdak to deal with the Shadow Fiend.

The moment the Shadow Demon disappeared, it did not turn into smoke, but through the awakening of the bloodline talent to become invisible, not all Shadow Demons are as strong as the Shadow Demon in the mage tower of Mukuso City, and their clan warriors are also strong and weak.

It is precisely because of this racial talent that the warriors of the Shadow Demon Race usually do not want to make progress, and always think that they can do everything with their bloodline talent.

Therefore, the strong ones in the Shadow Demon Clan are even rarer......

These scout teams left the camp this time, basically to be able to go out to hunt the Shadow Demon, I heard that the skin of the Shadow Demon is very valuable, but not all Shadow Demon skins are very valuable, but a very small number of Shadow Demon skins with stealth attributes, many mages like to use their leather to make invisibility cloaks.

……

A team of scouts made their way through the dung-strewn grass, and there was a dead silence all around.

There is even a lilac columnar plant growing around the droppings of those hellhounds, which looks a bit like a morel mushroom, but with white spots on it, this plant is very aggressive, and from time to time they emit some black pollen, which gets on the leaves of other plants, and those leaves will quickly wither.

Pushing aside the jagged blades of grass, a bloody streak was made on the Scout Captain's face.

Scratched by some neurotoxin-laden vines, the wound would be extremely painful, he wiped his face with the back of his hand, he had been walking around the barren meadow for most of the day, and he didn't find the invisible killer that Commander Surdak described.

He looked at the sky and thought it seemed a little early to return to the barracks.

Reached out and touched it in his arms, took out half a scone, tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

The biscuit is a little dry, chew it slowly, and feel the heavy wheat aroma.

Suddenly a blackened hellhound suddenly appeared in the grass in front of them, with a faint green smoke from their bodies, and their breathing was heavy with a heavy gasping sound, as if their lungs were covered with water.

The captain pressed his body even lower, just waiting for the Hellhound to come closer, a little closer.

He had even reached behind his back and made code gestures to the scout team members behind him to get them ready......

I only felt that my body suddenly sank, and my head seemed to be being held, and the scout captain's heart was cold, and he even asked about a tobacco smell.

At this moment of life and death, the captain quickly bowed his head.

A spark immediately sparked on the armor piece of the neck, as if a knife had cut the armor piece on the neck, and the friction sound was very harsh.

The captain threw himself into the grass on his left side in the next second, only to feel a tingling pain in his left shoulder.

The weakest part of the shoulder armor was cut, and the entire shoulder was bleeding.

Without hesitation, he reached into the clay pot, grabbed a handful of ashes, flipped his body the moment he fell out, and threw it behind him violently, and a puff of dust dispersed with the wind.

In the next second, the ashes powder outlined a human figure in the air.

The captain almost fell into the grass, and the figure followed, and the scout captain drew his sword and stabbed it into the ashes......

The silhouette of the ashes nimbly dodged, but he was not prepared to block, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at the scout captain again.

The scout captain was dumbfounded.

Gu Yan

He didn't understand it, was the outline of the ashes stupid? Aren't you afraid that you will cut him off with your sword?

Before he had time to think about it, he swung a sword and cut off the outline of the ashes very smoothly.

Purple blood gushed out, and he hurriedly dodged.

A short figure slowly revealed, but a huge scar appeared on his abdomen, and the whole person was cut off by the waist, leaving only a little skin behind him to be connected together, and internal organs flowed all over the ground.

At this time, the other members of the scout team had easily eliminated the four hellhounds and were happily cutting off the heads of the hellhounds.

The scout captain took out a piece of oilcloth from his bosom and quickly wrapped the corpse of the hell demon with a blue and red stripe on his face and a sharp horn on his head, and then put it in a linen bag.

"Mission accomplished, call it a day!"

The scout captain touched his neck, and there was a deep mark on the armor piece.

Over the course of the day, more than seventy scout squads dispatched by the Heavy Infantry Legion hunted and killed a total of seventeen Shadow Demons on the outskirts of Samp Town.

It has to be said that the hunt was very successful, twenty-seven scouts were injured in the fight with the Shadow Demon, but no one died, but while hunting Hellhounds, five scouts were bitten off their necks by Hellhounds.

Unfortunately, as rumored, the Shadow Demon Skins with the 'Invisibility' Life Pattern are very rare, and Surdak has not been able to find the Life Demon Pattern from the corpses of these Shadow Demons, not even the mutilated ones.

Surdak shoved the shredded Shadow Demon into the trash can and soaked a bloody leather barrel full of purple blood to remove the stains, and then tightened it on a wooden frame, took out the barracks tent, and laid it out to dry.

The whole barracks tent was a bit like a slaughterhouse, but unfortunately there was nothing to be gained.

Nearly half of the twenty catapults have been assembled, and tomorrow there will be a round of tuning of the catapults, after which they will be pushed onto the battlefield.

……

At night, Lake Belanoma is a tranquil deep sapphire.

Thea stepped into the lake, and as she reached waist-deep water, she glanced back at Surdak on the shore and beckoned to him.

The big clear eyes are full of encouragement, and there is a confident and sweet smile on the face.

Surdak took a deep breath and stepped into the lake.

When she came to Thea's side, she found that she had already turned into a long fishtail in the water, and Thea stretched out her arms and let Surdak put her arms around her shoulders from behind, and then Thea fell sideways into the lake.

The three-colored fishtail made a huge splash and slid into the lake with Surdak.

In this way, Surdak hugged Thea from behind, and Thea took her to swim in the lake, allowing the lake to shoot head-on.

Thea's arms kept plucking the water, swimming across the lake like a dolphin.

Soon, Surdak saw the bearded Edgar and sixteen infantry soldiers quietly approaching the dock north of Samp Town, holding a log.

Thea didn't want to get too close, though, as she was a little shy in the water.

When he approached the North Wharf, he saw more than a dozen fishing boats next to the wharf, and a few desperate roars occasionally came from the town, and Surdak was not sure if there were any survivors inside, so he didn't dare to rush in at the moment.

There are no hellhounds to be seen guarding the docks, and hellhounds don't like water very much.

The bearded Edgar approached the fishing boat smoothly, and the seventeen warriors leaned in almost at the same time, cut the hemp rope tied to the stone pier of the pier with their daggers, and then did not get on the boat, just on the side of the boat, pushed the fishing boat out of the pier little by little, until it was far away from the dock, and then they all rolled over to the boat, and rowed all the way to the camp with the wood pulp in the boat......

Thea carried Surdak and followed far behind.

When he saw that they were a little exhausted, he made a wave, which pushed the dozen or so fishing boats all the way to the camp without any danger.
