Herman and Vera escorted them to the Furious Wing City caravan for three days.

Caravan trade between the two cities has been going on for hundreds of years, and roads have been built perfectly. Every hundred miles, there is a hidden cave for temporary rest, which contains not only all kinds of food, but even precious water.

And the guards of the caravan are all soldiers who have been eliminated from the dragon servant army, although they have not cultivated their fighting spirit, they are also very good at martial arts, and in most cases they can be well qualified for the escort duties.

There are no powerful demonic beasts on the road, this road has been operated by the two cities for many years, and the high-level demonic beasts have long been eliminated by the temples of the two cities.

So this mission seemed to be the easiest.

Herman, however, was very uneasy, because he knew that pie would not fall from the sky, and such a simple task would not be worth a map.

"Although there is still a wizard in the caravan, the surrounding surveillance is still up to you." Herman said to Vera.

The girl in the green dress did not like the smell of burning coals, so she sat far away.

The fire was dim, the girl in the green dress closed her eyes tightly, and her spiritual power spread around: "I know, I won't be careless." ”

Herman noticed that she sprinkled some powder on her feet every time she reconnoitred these days, and he knew that this kind of thing should not be asked, but he couldn't help but wonder and asked, "What are you spilling under your feet?" ”

Vera frowned slightly when she heard this, and Herman hurriedly said, "I can't say it, forget it." ”

Vera said: "There's nothing I can't say, it's just some plant seeds, just in case of accidents." ”

"Seeds?" Herman thought of the demonic plant that killed the Tiger King, "Blood Demon Vine? ”

Vera shook her head: "No, the Blood Demon Vine does not bloom and bear fruit, this magic plant usually cuts off the rhizome to cultivate new bushes. After a pause, she said, "The magic plant seeds I sprinkled are called Black Thorns, and the ripe Black Thorns are not only delicious and satisfying, but also the plants are extremely tough, and the magic spells below the third level are basically indestructible, so it is best to protect the body." ”

"I see."

Herman suddenly realized, and then thought that Claire was also good at manipulating all kinds of vines, and this kind of black thorn was very suitable for her, so he smiled and said, "Do you have any extra seeds?" I want to buy a little. ”

Vera tilted her head and wondered, "You're not a wizard, what do you want this for?" Black thorns have an extremely long maturation cycle, and if they are not urged by magic, they can only grow one centimeter taller every ten years, and bear fruit after thirty years. ”

Herman smiled, "I have a wizard friend who doesn't have this magic plant over there, so I wanted to give this to her as a gift." ”

Vera's face was a little unnatural, and she asked, "That friend of yours, is it a woman?" ”

Herman was a little surprised: "How do you know? ”

"Humph!" Vera snorted lightly, and then the lion opened her mouth and said, "One gram of one hundred C-grade energy stones, do you want to buy it?" ”

"Huh?" Herman was taken aback, the price of this thing was about the same as a second-order demonic beast?

(This guy isn't going to kill me, is he?) ）

Herman squinted at the past, but saw that the girl in the green dress had an indifferent face, which made people doubt everything.

"Okay, deal!"

After all, he is not a person from the dark world, and Herman made several windfalls during the war, and there are more than 500 B-grade energy stones on his body, so he is not stingy with energy stones, and he bought them immediately.

Anyway, before raising a moss lizard, I spent a lot of energy stones every month.

"You promised?"

Vera opened her eyes suddenly, incredulous.

What kind of fool would spend a hundred C-grade power stones to buy the seeds of a magic plant? So many gems are enough to buy a mature clump of black thorns.

Herman gave her a strange look, how did the secret way make money or this expression?

Without thinking too much, he quietly took out the energy stone from the magic ring and handed it over, and whispered: "Hurry up and put it away, don't be seen." ”

Vera looked at the large bag of energy stones handed over, and her heart was not very happy, but Herman was so happy after receiving the seeds that Vera wanted to beat him.

"Once you're rested, keep going."

The caravan steward, with the consent of the attendant, ordered the team to set off again.

The guards took action, and Vera also took the opportunity to squat on the ground and pick up thirty black seeds the size of rice grains, and carefully put them in the small pocket around her waist.

The priest who accompanied them was none other than Anderson, who was said to be second only to the high priest in the Dragon Temple, and was so powerful, that such a figure did not know why he came out to do business, which was really strange.

It was because of Anderson that Vera once secretly looked at the goods on the caravan wagon, and sure enough, she found something unusual.

Together, these goods happened to be the most valuable parts of the two third-order demonic beasts, and the two third-order crystal nuclei were guarded by Anderson himself, and the old priest never left the carriage after eating, drinking, and Lazar.

The team kicked off, and Herman heard Vera suddenly mutter.

"Strange, is it my delusion?"

Herman tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Vera replied with a puzzled expression: "I seemed to notice a trace of unusual fluctuations just now, but it disappeared in an instant. ”

Herman asked, "Does the power of the spirit fluctuate?" ”

Vera replied, "I don't know, it looks like some kind of creature, but even a magical creature can't hide its aura in an instant." ”

"What could that be?"

The two discussed for a while but to no avail, and then heard the caravan supervisor send someone over to inform everyone that there was a forest of a thousand stones ahead, reminding everyone to be careful.

This kind of human-faced demon spider inhabits the forest of a thousand stones, the venom spit out by this magical beast can make the prey decay quickly, and after the human-faced demon spider catches the prey, it wraps it into a cocoon with spider silk, and after the venom melts the prey, it will suck the flesh and blood of the prey in the cocoon like a human drinking juice......

The difficulty of the human-faced demon spider is that its spider silk is very tough, and it has reached the point where it is not afraid of swords, fire and water, and once it is entangled in cobwebs, even the source knight will have to work hard to get out. But fortunately, its body is relatively fragile, and as long as the archery is accurate, ordinary archers can kill it.

But subject to the dark environment, only knights and wizards can deal with this kind of thing.

The caravan slowly entered the forest of a thousand stones, and the tall stone pillars were erected like a jungle, and on the surface of the severely beautiful stone pillars, some broken figures could be faintly seen, and some stone steps and broken walls could be seen everywhere on the surrounding ground, which was obviously a relic of an ancient civilization.

Herman was the first to walk in the front, and it didn't take long for him to come across a huge web made of spider silk, the horizontal fence was in the middle of the road, and the spider silk showed a strange pure black color, if it weren't for Herman's excellent eyesight, seeing the spider web gently swaying by the breeze, he would probably have crashed into it.

"Stop."

Herman shook his torch to signal the convoy to stop, turned and drew his sword, slashing it hard.

The black web shook violently, and the sound of the steel cable breaking sounded, and the cobwebs were not cut off, but the stone pillars connected to the cobwebs were torn off by Herman's great force, and they fell to the ground with a bang.

The sound traveled far and wide.

"This ......"

Herman was very surprised, wouldn't these strong spider silk be very good materials for making intimate soft armor?

Sticking the torch on the ground, Herman grabbed a spider silk with both hands, pulled it with all his might, the spider silk was as straight as a sharp arrow, and finally could not withstand Herman's strange force and broke into two, but Herman's palm was cut open with two slender and deep wounds.

The guards behind him were stunned by this scene, this was the first time they had seen someone tear spider silk with brute force.

One of the guards couldn't help but remind, "My lord, this spider silk will become very crispy as long as you pour hot oil, and it can be torn off easily. ”

I really don't need you to do that......

"I see."

Herman suddenly realized, no wonder the caravan did not change course, it turned out that there was a way to deal with Spider Silk.

Just as the guards began to burn the hot oil, a lot of spider silk suddenly shot out of the darkness, overwhelming the sky and making it impossible to escape.

Herman looked at the stone pillars around him, and there were at least twenty or thirty gray spiders the size of a basin, and the abdomen of these spiders had human faces with twisted faces and protruding fangs, and those indestructible spider silk was spit out of the mouths of human faces.

The caravan guards had already taken a countermeasure, and immediately threw the torches in their hands into the air, and by the light of the fire, the guards opened their bows and arrows and shot at the big spiders on the stone pillars.

Just as the guards breathed a sigh of relief and were about to slowly clean up the spider silk, Vera's face suddenly changed and she shouted, "Herman, there's a monster approaching!" ”

Before they could finish speaking, everyone felt the ground shake.

Click! Click! Click!

It's like a giant beast charging across the land!

In the faint light, everyone saw two monsters armed with giant axes rampaging through the stone forest, one in front of the other, and one after the other.

The monster was born with two horns, a tall body, shrouded in orange flames, and the huge axe held in both hands was cold and cold, and it was terrifying to watch.

"What kind of monster is that?"

The guards were terrified, and even the most daring people could not help but weaken their hands and feet when they saw the giant with a giant axe rushing towards them.

"Damn!"

Why did the people from Castlevania come?

Herman couldn't help but curse.

But now is not the time to think about this, once the horned demon appears, the wizards of the hermit will not be far away.

Herman quickly stepped back to Vera's side and whispered, "This is a monster raised by Castlevania, find out where the other party's wizard is as soon as possible." ”

Before Vera could answer, the wizard of the Abyss Hermitage had already appeared automatically.

"No need to look for it, I'm right here."

A middle-aged man with a cold face emerged from the darkness and stood at the feet of the two horned demons with a big grin, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth and a calm tone.

"Who are you, and why are you intercepting our caravan?" Anderson's old voice came from the carriage.

The arrogance of the middle-aged man replied, "Didn't your companion already know that I am none other than Neil of the Abyss Hermitage." ”

"Abyssal Retreat? Which city-state is this? ”

Not only Anderson, but Vera had also never heard of the name of the Abyss Hermitage, and Herman explained in a low voice: "This is a force called Castlevania, which worships the abyssal god Vegalia, is good at flesh magic, and is very difficult. Wait to be careful. ”

"The Abyss." Vera exclaimed silently, she knew the term. It was one of the few words that was taboo by the tribe, a plane full of evil and chaos.

Neil looked surprised: "You, a little source knight, actually know the name of my lord?" ”

Herman was noncommittal: "No one knows the name of the Lord of Hellfire and the King of Flesh. ”

The goddess didn't seem to be the same small, so he didn't feel a little frightened in his heart.

"You're really insightful." Neil sneered.

Anderson's words came from the car: "Abyssal Hermitage, you haven't answered my question yet. ”

Neil smiled undiminishedly: "It's very simple, I want that thing, I will leave when I get it, and I will never entangle." ”

"What's that?" Anderson asked.

"Don't pretend to be garlic, you know what I'm talking about." Neil put away his smile and said coldly.

Anderson, who was in the car, no longer responded, but sent a message to Herman and Vera: "Ready to do it." I'll hold him back, and you deal with those two monsters. ”

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
