White orchards are known for producing high-quality fruits.

The river that surrounds the village flows through orchards, large and small, irrigated with a wide variety of high-quality fruits.

In the white orchard, the most common thing to see is the fruit tree.

Starting from the river at the Bridge of Lamentations, the Demon Slayer Squad, led by Corporal Nilfgaard named Henry, followed a path south.

Along the way, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are shady, and the scenery is pleasant.

On both sides of the path, a variety of fruit trees stand side by side, among which the pear trees are the most numerous, and the patches are full of white flowers.

Some of the fruit trees are already full of heavy fruit, and the smell of fruit comes from both sides of the path, and from time to time you can see all kinds of birds standing on the branches and singing.

The sun had just shown its half-round face from the top of the mountain, and the golden sunlight passed through the gaps between the dense foliage, leaving patches of light of different shapes on the ground.

The ground was still damp because of the rain, which made it a little difficult to walk, but the smell of moist earth and green grass made people feel refreshed and energetic.

Instead of riding, Huck and the two led the horses to follow the lead Corporal Henry, while a dozen other heavily armed soldiers followed behind.

Emily, the sorceress, did not follow, and after receiving Huck's blood, she left in a hurry, saying that she was going to take it to Ada Amin, and did not say when she would return.

The soldiers on the road hurried silently, and it could be seen that the morale was not high.

In order to find out more, the demon hunters decided to use the time they were in a hurry to talk to them.

The white wolf handed the reins to Huck and took a few steps to catch up with the sturdy Corporal Nilfgaard.

"Corporal, about the situation in Hoover Heights, Captain Peter said, you know better, can you tell me?"

Henry, who had been assigned the task of exterminating demons, obviously knew something, and he looked very nervous, his face tense the whole time, and he looked like he was dying generously.

Hearing the witcher's question, the stout man smiled wryly.

"Hoover used to be a mill that was abandoned because it was haunted.

At the end of the war in White Orchard, the men of the 17th Regiment went to search the mill and heard that they had encountered a female evil spirit, and most of them were killed and wounded.

After that, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to go any further.

In the process of tracking the griffon's tracks, I once led people past that hill.

I remember it was noon, the sun was shining, and we were all tired and thirsty, so we rested in the nearby woods.

There is a veteran in our team who is very courageous, usually brave in battle, irritable, and boasts that he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

When I was resting that day, I somehow talked about the female evil spirit, and the guy made a bet with someone that he would go to Hoover for a walk and come back safely.

I didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and even if he encountered danger, he should be able to escape safely. ”

At this, the corporal swallowed his saliva, his face turned a little pale, as if he recalled the horrors of that day.

"It wasn't long before we were giggling and waiting to see the joke when a shout of horror rang out from above."

Henry's voice began to grow rapid, and his tone trembled, showing how impressive he was by the scene at that time.

"The warrior who usually only shouts and curses, brandishes his weapon and screams when he charges, runs at the front, and is recognized as the bravest soldier in the squad, is actually screaming and running downward.

At first, we thought he was pretending to be on purpose, but we soon realized that something was wrong.

He rolled and crawled, his face was full of terror, he didn't know that his helmet and sword had been lost, and finally, he even rolled down the hill..."

The corporal turned his head to look at the white wolf, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that a veteran who has been through a hundred battles has such an unbearable moment.

Then I saw a scene that I will never forget.

A white shadow floated out from behind him, and she wore a tattered and dirty white dress as if she had crawled out of a grave.

Her skin had fallen off her bones, there was still a little flesh on her cheeks, her blood-red tongue was spitting out, and what was even more terrible was her wail!

I've never heard such a painful sound, which makes my scalp tingle and my whole body weak.

She was wailing all the time, as if she was being tortured inhumanly all the time..."

Hearing this, the witcher frowned, he glanced back at Huck and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Judging from her appearance as a woman, it may be a vampire banshee, but if she keeps wailing, it is likely to be a daytime demon or a dusk demon."

"Corporal Henry, is the woman floating in the air, or is she walking on the ground?" Huck thought for a moment, and then asked again, in order to confirm his thoughts.

"She floated in mid-air, her feet didn't touch the ground, and she was so fast that she was in front of her in the blink of an eye, and ordinary people couldn't outrun her."

The corporal did not need to recall at all, he immediately replied, the situation at that time was still fresh in his memory, and he could tell every detail with his eyes closed.

"Did you attack her, and how did you get away?"

"Attacked," fear appeared on the Nilfgaard man's face again, "Bot and York fired crossbow arrows at her, and I threw my throwing axe.

But it didn't work, all the attacks passed through her unreal body, not causing a single damage. ”

His eyes were full of despair, and his tone was quick and trembling, "We can't touch her, we can't hurt her, there's nothing we can do about her."

She is like a phantom in the fog, you can see but not touch; She is also a life-seeking evil spirit, and whoever floats past her will fall to the ground screaming.

She can even cast spells that kick up a cloud of dust that can disorient people and lose sight of their surroundings.

When the dust cleared, I realized that there were only two or three people who could stand.

In less than a minute, a squad of people was almost wiped out."

At this point, the frightened faces of the Nilfgaard people were filled with sadness, but there was a hint of shame in their eyes, which then turned into luck again, "When I saw the situation, my first reaction was to turn around and run away, and at the same time shout loudly. ”

"There were still four people alive or standing, and they were scattered and fled, completely ignoring their companions who were crying out for help on the ground.

My only thought at that time was to run away and get as far away from that evil spirit as possible.

I was terrified by the screams that came one after another, but I didn't dare to turn back, I just ran as hard as I could.

I believe that day was the fastest I had ever run in my life.

But soon, I heard wails coming from behind me.

I suddenly felt the temperature around me start to rise, and it was getting hotter and hotter.

When I felt like I was being scorched in the fire, I finally couldn't help but turn around.

Then I saw that terrible white shadow chasing after me, and wherever she passed, the weeds on the ground were instantly ignited, as if she were a moving furnace.

In the midst of the dead, I stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at the terrifying woman who was getting closer and closer, and had to use my hands and feet to desperately retreat.

Just when she thought that she was in danger this time, the terrifying woman suddenly stopped.

Less than ten feet in front of me, she stopped, and wailed angrily at me.

She seemed desperately trying to rush over, but she was being pulled tightly by something, and she couldn't move forward in the slightest.

It wasn't until the white shadow drifted away that I realized that I had survived. ”

The Nefgaard people still seem to find it incredible.

"When weeds are burned, when the sun is strong, they can raise dust and blind, and they can turn into nothing."

Summing up what he's heard, Huck has already determined what he's going to face.

"It's a daytime wraith, and it's probably bound by something that can't go too far from Hoover."
