1212. Skeletons

"Where is she?"

Aphrodite stared at Hunter Crick and asked him.

Craike pointed to the valley across from the grass, and whispered:

"I've been living in a cave in an abandoned iron ore mine."

With that, continue to lead the way ahead.

The grass here was dense, and it was covered with thorns, many of which would stick to his clothes as he passed, but he still chose to walk among the grass.

The ridges on either side also have some bare gently sloping walls, and Hunter Clake didn't choose that side.

The magical robes that Aphrodite wore were of good material, and the thorns couldn't penetrate the fabric at all.

"Do you think the disappearance of the villagers in the village has something to do with her?" Aphrodite asked tentatively.

Craik nodded and replied, "Well, there are a lot of bones hidden in her cave. ”

Aphrodite continued, "But before that, you never told the knights of the guard battalion! ”

Craike stopped, glanced back at Aphrodite faintly, and then said, "I don't dare to expect those knights to do anything, in fact, the most they do in the village of Celestia is to post announcements, and then they will ride away." ”

Seeing that the hunter Crick stopped, Aphrodite immediately urged, "Okay, hurry up and take me to her......"

Craik walked forward without hesitation, and Aphrodite reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying to him, "This time, you may die!" ”

There was no fluctuation in Kreck's eyes, but he said with the last trace of determination: "I know, but how can I save my wife and children without this, I want to try!" ”

Aphrodite's eyes glowed red, this was the succubus bloodline's innate ability 'Charm', a magic that could be unleashed without spells and magic patterns.

"Have you ever wondered what your other two children will do when you die?"

Aphrodite asked Craik with a charm.

At this moment, Hunter Craike's body immediately stiffened, and he replied as if he was talking in a dream: "Although they are still very young, they can already face their lives on their own, and I am not worried about this. ”

The red light in Aphrodite's eyes gradually dissipated, and Craik's body shuddered violently, and then he came back to his senses, unaware of Aphrodite's charm just now.

Craik walked ahead, through a field of barren grass, and a bare mine appeared in front of him, only in the valley was overgrown with wild grass and bushes, and the whole stone mountain seemed to have been turned over by someone, and all the stones on the mountain were artificially pried up, and the abandoned ore was scattered all over the mountain.

"These are poor iron ores, and although they contain some iron, they are not worth throwing into the furnace." Craike whispered to Aphrodite, "This is the last cave in the iron mines, and I lost my job when this mine was abandoned......

"So you became a hunter?" Aphrodite asked curiously from behind.

Pointing to the bushy hills behind him, Craik said:

"There are a lot of small beasts in this mountain, most of them are pangolins and yellow-tailed lynxes, and the nobles who live here are very fond of eating these small beasts, and I happen to know their habits very well, and I know where to set traps to catch them, and I have been living on them since I left the mines."

"That's why you haven't left the village of Selia?" Aphrodite continued.

Hunter Clayk nodded, and replied calmly, "Yes, they can only be found in the mountains deep in the mines, and the village of Seria is the closest to this mountain, and I am used to life here, although the transportation with the outside world is not too convenient, but it is very easy to live here, except for those necessary daily necessities, there is almost no cost here." ”

Walking to the barren grass in front of him, Craike stopped, and instead of continuing out of the grass, he pushed aside the thorny grass in front of him that blocked the view, and a man-dug mountain wall appeared on the side of the bald stone mountain not far away, and at the bottom of the mountain wall was a dilapidated mine.

"Here it is, it's the entrance." Hunter Craik said nervously.

With that, Hunter Craik cautiously walked in front, carefully pushing through the grass, and could see that he was panicked to the extreme, but still gritted his teeth and approached.

Aphrodite knew that he was not under his own pressure, but wanted to go in to find his family, and it was this motivation that led him to approach the cave step by step.

It's just that I didn't expect a woman with a thin face to lean against the mouth of the cave in the rock wall, she was so thin that she almost lost her human form, and if it weren't for her eyes and still being able to move, she would look more like a dried corpse.

Beside her was a skeleton-made war beast that looked more like her mount, with a chair on its back.

The woman's face was indifferent, her eyes showed a deep hatred and resentment, her voice was more like a piece of sandpaper rubbing the bottom of the pot, and there was a strange metallic voice in her voice: "Craike, I knew you couldn't be trusted, one day you would bring people from the outside over, I have already given you a warning, but you still have to go your own way, you will be punished by me, right now!" ”

Hunter Krek finally couldn't help it at this moment, he almost broke down and rushed forward, but he was grabbed by an ankle by a bony hand sticking out of the rubble, he couldn't react, and fell the gravel floor.

His forehead hit a piece of rubble, and blood came out of his way.

Craik tried to struggle to get up, but two more bone hands reached out of the ground and grabbed Craike's body fiercely.

Hunter Crick shouted at the woman with some despair:

"What about my wife and children, you should release them quickly, otherwise once I am freed, I will go outside to find those adventure groups and mercenary groups, and I will spare no effort to find a way to get rid of you."

"Hahaha, you're intimidating me?" The woman let out a bitter, hoarse laugh, and she looked at Kreck, but she had been on guard against Aphrodite, and heard her say, "It's been a long time since anyone has spoken to me in such a tone, and this feeling is a little nostalgic." ”

At this time, Aphrodite also came out of the grass, holding a whip in her hand, and remained silent.

The woman stared at Aphrodite, saw the magic robe she was wearing, her pupils narrowed slightly, and asked coldly, "You are the helper that Craike found from outside?" ”

Aphrodi shook her head slowly, and said frankly, "I am here on behalf of Ruyt City to investigate the case of the missing people in the village of Selia. ”

The thin woman looked at Aphrodite with a smirk before she said, "Then you came to me, and you suspect that I did it?" ”

"That's right, that's it, so I'm going to take you back to the Ruyt City Guard Camp for censorship!" Aphrodite said unhurriedly.

"Hahaha, it's up to you?" The woman's tone was full of disdain.

Aphrodite didn't even see her move, and suddenly there was a wave behind her, and two pale skeleton warriors came out from under the stone, stretched out their bony hands, and tried to hold Aphrodite to death.

Aphrodite was like a pair of eyes behind her, she didn't even look back, she took a half step forward, leaned a little to the left, dodged the grab of the skeleton warrior on the right back, and threw out a long whip with her backhand, the whip was slightly like a spirit snake pointing backwards at the soul fire of the other skeleton's eye socket.

The skeleton warrior instinctively raised his hands and wanted to block the whip slightly, but he didn't expect that the long whip seemed to be a living spirit snake, and it actually changed its path halfway, and the slight turn firmly tied the skeleton warrior's hands.

Aphrodite did not slack off in the slightest, with her left hand on her chest. He quickly drew a magic pattern circle, and a dark shadow arrow shot out of Aphrodite's hand, instantly piercing the skeleton warrior's eye socket, and the soul fire in the skeleton warrior's eye socket was suddenly extinguished.

Without the soul fire, the bones were immediately scattered to the ground.

At this time, another skeleton warrior quickly pounced on Aphrodite, trying to hold Aphrodite in his arms, but he didn't expect Aphrodite to turn around violently and lift the mask with one hand. A black flame erupted from her mouth.

A strong flame immediately burned on the skeleton warrior's body, and in the black flames, the skeleton warrior's bones immediately began to shatter.

"You're not human...... the skinny woman exclaimed.

Several sturdy zombie hyenas immediately rushed out from her side, and those zombie hyenas exuded a faint stench, and the fur on their bodies seemed to be eaten by insects, tattered, and people could easily see the skeleton inside.

The eye sockets of these zombie hyenas were also filled with pale blue soul fire.

At the same time, around the mine, even the sound of laughter could be heard in the barren grass outside the mine, and some bone hands brushed aside the grass and slowly walked out of it.

On the gravel-strewn ground, there were more bone hands sticking out, and these bone hands seemed to have no vision, just scratching indiscriminately towards the sky.

In an instant, the entrance of the mine cave became ghostly.

Hunter Clake was even more severely pressed to the ground by those bone hands, and some of the bone hands even scratched his body, bleeding blood......
