The nights on the lakeside are exceptionally cold. There are also dense woods in the forest to keep out the cold winds. And beside this open large round lake, the cold wind can sweep through the wide area without hindrance.

Du Wei felt that his body was getting cold a little bit. The cold wind, as well as the cold ground, are pulling the heat out of the body little by little.

But Beinrich gets along well with Du Wei these days, and when he sees his friend in trouble, Du Wei volunteers to stay and help, even if he is frozen into a popsicle, he will only grit his teeth and endure it.

"Actually, you can stay in a tent. Beinrich lowered his voice, his eyes filled with gratitude, everyone knew that magicians were not in good physical condition, but Dewey, a thin-looking teenager, insisted on keeping vigil with a strong warrior at night.

Although Beinrich was furious at the loss of eleven of his men, he did not lose his mind. The experienced mercenary leader knew very well that he could make his eleven equally experienced subordinates evaporate collectively without a sound...... Then the opponent is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with.

So he chose some of the best of the people he brought to keep vigil tonight.

Beinrich's assumption makes sense: if it was a monster, it must be a powerful guy! And since a monster dares to attack a camp of hundreds of people in the middle of the night and evaporate eleven people, then this guy is certainly not a cowardly guy. It's probably going to strike again!

"Because, this cold winter, the monsters also need food. ”

When Beinrich said this, his eyes were cruel. He knew very well that the reason why he stayed was not because he wanted to rescue the eleven missing people! In this kind of ghost place where heaven should not be called earth spirit, eleven big living people disappeared for a day and a night, and the chances of survival were very small.

Beinrich insisted on staying, simply because he couldn't stand the humiliation, if after losing eleven people. I didn't even know what it was, so I ran away with the people...... Then it will be a fatal blow to the morale of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group! In the future, it is likely that everyone will have this feeling of fear and frustration in their hearts!

As the regimental commander, he must not let this kind of thing happen, so even if it is dangerous, he has to try it and do something.

Du Wei didn't speak, he was probably the only one of them who could understand Beinrich's thoughts. He only moved his frozen foot slightly, then smiled, "We're already friends." Head of the Beinrich regiment. I don't think it's a big deal to get a little cold for a friend. ”

The entire mercenary camp was silent. Most of the people were clutching their weapons, and no one was hiding in their tents. The mercenaries put their skills to good use, digging ambush pits in the snow, and some even buried themselves under the snowdrifts in thick leather suits.

Strier lay in ambush with a few archers in the surrounding trees.

And the old one-eyed dragon volunteered to act as a "bait".

The old man made a bonfire, and then sat down in front of the fire and drank a large pot of meat on the fire.

Smell the aroma of wine and meat from afar. But no one envied the old one-eyed dragon. Because everyone knows very well that the old guy is using his life as bait.

It was a long night because everyone was always looking forward to discovering something.

The night was short, because after time passed, nothing was found, and everyone found that they didn't know when. The horizon is already cloudy.

"Obviously, our opponents are smarter than us. Du Wei shook his head: "It didn't come." Perhaps we have already realized that we have been prepared...... Or maybe it's already eleven people and already has enough prey to come and attack us again. ”

Beinrich grabbed a handful of snow and wiped his face. He rubbed his face red, and the heat melted the snow. It dripped down his beard into the collar, and the regimental commander didn't care in the slightest. His face was serious: "Maybe you're right, but just maybe." But we can't just walk away. Otherwise, if you go back with this kind of setback, the young men of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will not be able to raise their heads in the future...... We are not afraid of death, since we have dared to come out of this kind of rì, there are no people under my command who are afraid of death. But we must not lose our courage, and that is the most important thing. ”

During the day, the mercenaries took turns to rest in the tent to replenish their sleep and strength, and Beinrich decided to stay here.

And that night, again, nothing was gained. The ambush that Jīng had prepared did not welcome any guests.

And just like that, three days passed.

Even the resolute regimental commander wavered in his determination.

His people were so tired that they didn't sleep for three nights, but they rested in quick turns during the day. And, after all, they had been adventuring in this forest for many days, and the mercenaries were already tired.

Although he was unwilling, the regiment commander also understood that it was too slim to continue to consume like this.

"On the last day, if we don't find anything tonight, we'll leave here tomorrow. ”

Beinrich had no choice but to make a decision.

And this last night, finally not in vain!

・

The mercenaries were tired from staying up late for several days, and that night, despite the best efforts of most of them, by the second half of the night, everyone was obviously a little overwhelmed.

Beinrich's eyes were bloodshot...... In the past three days, other mercenaries can take turns to rest during the day, but he, the head of the regiment, can't rest. For three days, he only slept for less than an hour at noon today.

In the second half of the night, some of the mercenaries even dozed off uncontrollably, and even the old one-eyed dragon sitting in front of the fire couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Dewey was a magician after all. His divine power is too much beyond ordinary people, and the lack of sleep will only affect his physical strength, but it does not mean much sleepiness.

He was the most sober of the more than 100 people.

** Took a breath, the cold air at night stimulated the nasal cavity with some faint pain, but the jīng god was refreshed! Glancing at Beinrich next to him, Du Wei obviously felt that the head of the group's jīng divine power had reached the limit, although his eyes were red, but a little sluggish. And next to him, Dardanelle couldn't help but half-close his eyes, and his chin ...... little by little

Du Wei was about to whisper something to the regimental commander. Suddenly...... One in his head

Spirit! As if I felt something!

This feeling is very subtle! Du Wei, who has a strong sense of induction, felt that a cool air behind him rushed all the way up along his back and the back spoon!

Du Wei immediately realized: something is coming!!

His eyes immediately widened and he looked around!

At night, the snow on the snow is still shining, and the flowers are white. In the distance, apart from the occasional cracking sound of the ice, there is only the sound of the wind......

At this moment, Du Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

He saw it!

Far, far away, right on the surface of the Great Round Lake. There was a crisp sound of the ice cracking! and then far away, in the dark night. Du Wei could vaguely see a vague shadow slowly climbing up from under the ice!

With his keen sensibility, Du Wei could even hear the other party's body rubbing against the ice and making a rustling sound...... There was also the sound of ice cracking, with droplets of water dripping......

"That's ...... What ......" Du Wei couldn't help muttering to himself, and he was about to open his mouth to warn Beinrich and Dardanelle, when a strange voice came!

A moan, as if a sigh.

That's right. It sounded like someone was moaning...... The voice is related, but it is extremely soft and beautiful, Du Wei seems to be in a trance and can feel that the wisp of sound seems to be alive, burrowing into his ears, and then occupying his mind little by little!

The voice was long, long. But with a hint of indescribable weirdness! After the voice entered his mind, it was as if the strength and consciousness of the whole body were being withdrawn little by little......

The body became softer and softer, and the consciousness began to blur gradually......

The sound continued, melodious, as if it were a beautiful piece of music. Like the moon in the sky, cold and gentle, like a light breeze at night. It's irresistible, like a woman's light dance, which makes people indulge in it......

Gradually, the voice changed from melodious to tactful, as if with an invisible hooking hand, people couldn't help but follow the gentle sideways ...... It's as if the ears are going to follow the sound...... Then the whole head ...... And then there's the body!

After all, Du Wei is a magician, and his jīng divine power is the strongest one, and after a short period of confusion, he immediately instinctively woke up!

And then, he was horrified to find that he didn't know what to do and then stood up, and even his body had walked seven or eight steps out of the same place!

This discovery surprised him! It was as if he was sitting there just now!

Looking around again, something creepy happened to Du Wei!

Those mercenaries in the tents, and the mercenaries hiding in the trees, the mercenaries buried in the snowdrifts...... These people walked out one by one, and then they were in the snow, swaying their bodies, as if they were sleepwalking, everyone's eyes were wide, but their eyes were empty, their expressions were numb, their eyes were scattered, and their bodies were gentle, swaying, but in the direction of the lake...... Step by step, step by step, just walked slowly!

No one is an exception!

Even Beinrich and Dardanelles are the same!

The regiment commander had a quiet and peaceful expression on his face, his eyes were obviously out of focus, and the weapon in his hand had long been thrown into the snow, and his body was clumsy and loose, so he walked forward crookedly on the snow...... Dardanelle was like a drunken man, his hands ** grabbed forward, with a dementia-like expression on his face, and his eyes were half-closed and half-open......

Du Wei tried to stop Dardanelle, but he pushed him away!

Seeing that the mercenary at the front had already walked to the lake, and one foot had already stepped on the ice on the lake, Du Wei left and shouted loudly!

He yelled as loudly as he could, but none of those guys responded!

Du Wei ran over with all his might, trying to pull a mercenary, Du Wei even kicked him to the ground, but the man struggled to get up, and then just like the zombie Du Wei saw in the movie in his previous life, he staggered and continued to walk towards the lake!

"Damn,, what's wrong with you!wake up!!!" Du Wei jumped and screamed, but it was as if the guys were all deaf and stupid!

Seeing that he couldn't wake up these guys, Du Wei immediately ran to the lake, and then quickly recited a series of incantations, and a fireball flew towards the ethereal shadow on the lake!

Rumble!

The fireball pierced the night sky, illuminating the scene in front of him in an instant! Through the firelight, Du Wei seemed to see the appearance of the thing on the lake in the distance for a moment...... Although it was a little vague, Du Wei was sure that he seemed to have seen someone!

Yes, that's right, it's like a person!

And...... The man's appearance: he was wearing a soaked mercenary's leather suit, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead...... He had a big hole in his forehead, with a weird, miserable sneer on his face......

Half of his body was under the ice, half of his body was on the ice...... What made Du Wei feel chills from his heart was that this person's appearance was the mercenary who died unexpectedly while catching fish on the first day he came to Dayuan Lake!!

Du Wei saw with his own eyes that everyone sank his body into the lake!

...... Could it be a ghost?

Du Wei also felt that his idea was too ridiculous.

However, the scene in front of him couldn't help but surprise him!

The mercenary who died unexpectedly and tragically had a miserable expression on his face, his face was swollen by the lake water, and he had a terrible face, with a sad sneer on the corner of his mouth, staring at Du Wei's direction!

It was that strange, pleasant, requiem-like sound that came out of his mouth! All the mercenaries seemed to lose consciousness at this sound, and slowly walked towards the lake like puppets!

The fireball sent by Du Wei didn't go too far, and after smashing into the ice, it turned into sparks and scattered. And that ghost on the ice...... Let's call him that, but those vicious eyes immediately glared at Du Wei!

Du Wei could clearly see that this guy had a vicious mockery in his eyes, as if he was laughing at Du Wei's incompetence!

Despite Du Wei's efforts, he could only see that one of the mercenaries who walked in front had already walked to the ice on the lake, and then, a big hole suddenly appeared in the ice on the lake! The mercenary who walked in the front stepped into it in one step, and the whole person fell into the ice hole, and immediately sank and disappeared!
