The night is deep, the sky is dark, and the moonless night is not visible. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info).
A crow flew up on the tree, spun around, and landed on the tree again, its small eyes staring vigilantly at the surrounding Yiqiē.
Ron sat on a high rock on the side of the hill, his eyes closed, and through the eyes of the crow, every move around him did not escape his watch.
Scattered at the foot of the hill were a few tents, where the elves slept, and the evening breeze blew to extinguish the little spark in the campfire.
I don't know how long later, suddenly, Ron's brow moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were shining.
"There is a situation!"
A voice cut through the silence of the night sky, and Ron stood up, dark eyes glancing around.
"What?"
The elves were also very vigilant, and as soon as they rolled over and got out of the tent, Opavera was even more desperate, and the sharp sword was already in her hand, and it seemed that she was accustomed to keeping it by her side when she slept.
"...... by the river," Ron shouted, pointing to the creek where they were camping, as he leaped high and fell to the ground.
"What's that?" Sria put her hand on her forehead, and the river was far away with fog, gray, and faintly, she saw something gray.
"It's like a human ......" Aurora's eyes were much sharper than everyone else's, and she saw at a glance that it was a human, half-floating in the river, dead or alive.
Ilian muttered, "Who knows how to water, go see what's going on?"
Elves are warm-hearted people, and generally speaking, they do not die without help.
"I'll go!" Scouting is the duty of the thief, and Phil is obligated to do so, and a fierce man plunges into the water, and in a short time, he rescues the man.
The rescued was a young human woman, a magician, who looked very beautiful, dressed as a mercenary, but I saw that her face was pale, her eyes were wide open, her fists were clenched, as if she had seen something terrible, her body was stiff and motionless.
"She's dead?" said Sria, which was normal, and anyone who saw this would think she was dead.
The situation was a little strange, Illian leaned down and reached out to probe the young woman's nose, suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, "No...... She's still alive......"
"No......" Ron stood up and looked at the young mercenary with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, "she's dead!"
Illion looked up and said in dismay, "How is that possible?" she still has a faint breath ......
Ron shook his head, "Her soul is gone, it's just her body that lives......"
Illion looked up, stared at Ron with a pair of eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "How do you know?"
Ron nodded, "I'm a soul student, so I know better......," Ron said, crouching down and tearing the young mercenary's clothes with a thud, revealing a sleek back.
"Look......" Ron said, pointing to a blood hole the size of a coin, "right here...... I don't know what sucked her soul out of her alive......"
All the elves' eyes widened, with an incredible look in their eyes and a hint of fear on their faces, Opavera swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Who did it to take the soul directly from the body?"
Ron shook his head blankly.
Illion gasped, it was hard to imagine a person without a soul, like the walking dead, although the body was alive, the person was dead.
With a heavy heart, everyone fell silent and mourned for the young woman.
"It's a pity that she's so young and so beautiful, and she's dead......" Illian had a sad look in his eyes.
Ron was silent for a moment, "Let her go in peace!" he said and lightly pressed the woman's nose with his hand, and after a while, the woman's eyes became dim, and the clenched hands hung down weakly, and the face of the dead corpse had a smile of relief.
"Bury her......" Opavera said.
Everyone worked together to dig a pit and bury the poor mercenary who had died, and the wet earth gradually submerged her body, symbolizing the loss of life.
The mercenary had just been buried, when a voice came from afar, piercing the silence of the night sky.
"Ahh......h Help me......" The voice crying for help was extremely poignant, and it also implied extreme despair and fear.
Everyone jerked their heads up, eight pairs of eyes staring in the direction the voice came from.
"Over there......," Opavera said, pointing to the east.
"It's the upper reaches of the river...... "Illion sank his face.
"Let's go...... Go check ......," Ron said.
Whoever and for what purpose sucks out the souls of human beings is unforgivable in Ron's opinion.
......
"Boom...... Rumble ......"
The sound of thunder resounded across the earth, the clouds and mist rolled in the sky, and the surrounding space felt like it was about to collapse at any moment.
"It's another day, and the Sacred hasn't appeared yet......"
Ram, the scorpion knight, frowned and looked at the sky, with a hint of annoyance on his calm face, he had been waiting for several days, and this space seemed to be thundering and not raining, and the holy weapon had not yet appeared.
"Don't worry too much, father!" Renault next to him advised, "Since there are signs of instability in the space, then the holy artifact will appear sooner or later, it's just a matter of time......"
"Hey-" Ram slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the Thunder Wasteland, "I'm not worried about the Hallows, but my heart is like a big stone pressing down on it, as if it ...... It's like something bad is happening!"
Renault smiled, "Maybe it'...... Father, you're so tired, it'll be fine to take a break!"
"I hope so!" Ram said with a sigh.
......
Eight figures sped along the riverbank, and in a short time, Ron and the elven team arrived at a mercenary group camp.
In the camp of the mercenary group, the bonfire has not yet been extinguished, and it is "crackling", but the surroundings are as silent as death.
"Anyone?" called Ilian.
No one responded.
Ron frowned, "Something is wrong...... he walked quickly to one of the tents, and with a flick of it, a man rolled out of it.
The man was a male human mercenary, and he was seen to have his eyes closed and his expression was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
The elves also hurried around.
"He's dead!" Ron's hand touched the man's body lightly and concluded, "It's exactly the same as the girl's situation just now, except that he was drained of his soul in his sleep......"
Ron tore open his clothes, and sure enough, in his chest, there was a small hole the size of a coin.
"There is also ...... at this time," Illion lifted a tent again.
"There are ...... here too"
"There are ...... here too"
One by one, the tents were opened, revealing dead corpses, maybe they couldn't be called corpses, because their bodies were still alive, but in the end, they would die completely because their body functions were slowly cut off.
"Who did that?" Opavera asked, a large group of mercenaries in an entire camp of thousands of men dying in silence, leaving her angry and terrified.
"I don't know," Ron shook his head, "I'm sure it's not going to be human............"
"Is it a strange beast?" asked Phil, and the answer was convincing that there were dangerous beasts everywhere in this alien plane.
Illion groaned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard of any kind of alien beast that sucks souls!"
"Look, this is where it just left...... Sria said, pointing to the corpse of a human, and she walked briskly over it.
The man was in a struggling position, and before he died, he looked terrified, as if something had dragged him into the woods.
The voice...... I'm afraid it was he who sent it......" Sria crouched down and quietly looked at the human man's corpse.
At this time, Edge's brows furrowed, and he sniffed in the air, and suddenly, his face changed greatly, "Slia, get out of the way?"
"Huh?" said Sria as she looked back, too late and too quickly, when there was a commotion on the ground.
"Boom-" With a thud, something like a snake suddenly stood up from the ground and swept towards Sria.
"Sria ......," the elves shouted urgently.
"Ahh......h
Slya's feet were wrapped up, and the whole person was pulled to the ground, and at the same time, a sharp thorn suddenly stretched out from the tip of the tentacles, stabbing at Sriya.
"Porphyry—" stabbed into Sria's arm, sucking her soul out of frenzy.
"Roar-" Edge, who was closest to Slia, roared angrily, and the whole person turned into a giant bear, pounced on it, stretched out its huge huge claws, and grabbed at those tentacles.
The tentacles were scratched off, and bright red blood was revealed from the fracture, and the blood was scattered, and then there was a low roar like a beast.
Frightened, Sria jerked the severed tentacle out of her arm.
"You...... Are you alright?" Opavera hurried to Sria's side, hugging her tightly.
"Sister Opavera......
Sria was so frightened that she threw herself into Opavilla's arms, but luckily Edges interrupted the tentacles as quickly as she could, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ron's face tightened, and his eyes searched everywhere for clues, and to his surprise, this mysterious creature had escaped the crow's detection.
"That guy is ...... underground" At this time, Ron's face changed, and as soon as his hand was raised, a bone spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and stabbed him on the ground under him.
"Porphyry—" As if it had been pierced into some flesh, blood splattered from the ground, and at this moment, the ground exploded violently, and a black mist poured out of the madness.
"Roar—" A wild roar shook everyone's souls slightly, and it was a kind of fear from the depths of the soul.
In a short time, a monster like a man stood in front of everyone.
What appeared in front of everyone was an extremely terrifying-looking monster, the monster was about two meters tall, standing like a human, its slender body was covered with dark gray spots, and its hideous face had a dark smell. The mouth was wide open and full of sharp teeth.
He had a pair of huge fleshy wings on his back, and his arms were tiny tentacles, just like the ones that had just attacked Sria, which was terrifying.
"This ...... What is this?" Everyone was stunned by the monster they saw. To see the first ad-free please go.
