In the morning, when the dew was still converging on the tips of the leaves and grass, Yang Yi was called up and ready to go. Dizzy and climbed on the horse, Yang Yi's routine as a modern person made him wander on the back of the horse for a while, and he didn't fully wake up until he realized what kind of task he would have today.

The four men and four horses then crossed the river and continued on their way, and when they reached the village or so two kilometres in front of the village, Wood cautiously halted the group and did not move forward.

"Serge, find a tree to climb up and observe the condition of the village. Marna, you wrap the horse's hooves in flannel. Alfonso, take inventory of your potions again, and any magic you can use in advance. Wood instructed his teammates, and after last night's exchange, he no longer regarded Yang Yi as a stranger, and he omitted the title of priest when he called him.

Sergi slung his bow and arrows on his back, nimbly scurryed into the bushes and disappeared. Marna took out the flannel cloth that had been prepared and tied it carefully under the horse's hooves, so as to prevent the horses from making a clattering hoof sound when they entered the village, and alarming something that should not be alarmed.

Due to his lack of practical experience, Yang Yi dispelled the idea of implying that Wood's five senses were actually far superior to Serge's, and chose to honestly follow Wood's instructions and cooperate closely with his teammates.

As soon as Marna had tied the flannel to the horses, Serge came back and said to Wood with a gloomy face, "The condition is not good, I don't see any sign of smoke." From a distance, there is no movement in the village. ”

Wood stiffened his face and nodded: "Understood, I don't feel good either." We may be really late. ”

Yang Yi knew what the reason why Wood felt bad, because it was so quiet!

An active village, Tetra should always be full of energy when it comes early in the morning. The sound of chickens, ducks and geese begging for food, the cries of cattle and sheep, the greetings of people from one person to another, the sound of blacksmiths repairing and beating, including the bells of the chapel, all these were gone!

When such a thought turned in his heart, Yang Yi subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the village, but the mountain road was rugged, and the village was blocked by layers of rocks and forests, and he couldn't see the situation of the village even with his extraordinary vision.

Wood hesitated for a moment, the current situation forced him to hesitate. The outcome of his current judgment is likely to determine the fate of the squad: whether to stop some of the catastrophe before it comes, or to send the entire team into the tiger's mouth as a sheep.

After that, Wood looked at the other three and said solemnly, "I'm not sure what kind of danger Dakuru Village has. To go, or to retreat, I need everyone's opinion. ”

Serge thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "The reward for the task is not important. I think it's your fiancée's village, and it's your second home, and if you don't see it, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Malna also nodded: "Even if it does fall, the purification of the last will need to be carried out by people." ”

Wood looked at the two of them with gratitude on his face, turned to Yang Yi and said, "Alfonso, the situation is more complicated than I originally thought. It's too late for you to quit, and it's better to lose your life than to lose your pay. ”

Yang Yi smiled and said, "I listen to everyone, I am a member of the team, what you are, I will be like you." His face darkened, and he said a little sadly: "Even if we only need to light the torch...... I can also help a little. ”

Wood sighed, reached out and patted Yang Yi on the shoulder, didn't say anything, but looked at Yang Yi's eyes with a little more trust.

"Let's go into the village, then. ”

Four people and four horses, the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick flannel, and when they entered the village, they rode their horses slowly, and quietly touched the edge of the village all the way.

The entire village of Dakuru remained silent, as if completely unaware of the arrival of the four. When the horse's hooves stepped on an overturned object, Yang Yi dismounted and helped it up, only to see a broken road sign with the word "doakoonu" painted on it. ...,

"Dismount and walk. Wood said briefly.

All four dismounted, led their horses cautiously into the village.

Passing by the first farmhouse, Malna asked his teammates for permission and knocked on the door.

"Hello, is there anyone in there?"

Marna asked many times in a row, but there was no response.

Pushing the door with all his might, Malna noticed that it was bolted from the inside, and turned around and shook his head at the three men.

As we continued to move forward, the houses began to become denser and less sparse than they had been when we entered the village. Mulna went up to every house and banged on the door, and the response was the same, that is, there was no response. The whole village was dead silent, and the silent depression hung over the heart like a shadow, and people almost wanted to rush to the silent village and shout loudly, even if only one person heard the cry and responded. But everyone knows that this is not a rational approach, so they can only lead the horse forward in silence.

"Where have all the people gone?" Yang Yi asked Wood.

Wood's face was ugly, and he led the horse silently, and his rough features were as stiff as rocks.

Yang Yi asked again: "Have you ever encountered such a situation before?"

Wood was still silent, and Serge shook his head at Yang Yi: "I haven't encountered it." ”

At this moment, Malnaqiang, who was leading the horse in front, pulled out his scimitar and swung it back with one hand to prevent his teammates from advancing.

Wood and Serge quickly interspersed from left and right to protect Yang Yi behind him, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Marna didn't squeak, Yang Yi tiptoed his gaze over the tall Malna's shoulder, and saw a big black dog slowly pacing out of which corner, looking at the three people with dull eyes, that is, not barking loudly, nor showing vigilance, just looking at a few people blankly. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, maybe it's because I don't know how long I've spent with Wolfe, Yang Yi has an illusion when he looks at it, that is, he feels that this dog's gaze looks full of sadness.

It stared at the four for a moment, then turned its head and slowly walked away in the other direction.

Yang Yi's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Keep up with it." ”

Wood also understood what Yang Yi meant, that the dog was just a very faithful animal, and if he followed it, he would definitely find his master—or the corpse of his master.

The black dog led the four men slowly, and as they passed through the center of the village, they saw the only well in the village.

The wells of the Middle Ages are not quite the same as the Chinese-style wells of Yangyi's original time and space, the wellhead of the Chinese well is not large, the well is built with stones, and the height is almost the same as the instep. In addition, most of the wells are covered to remind people that there are deep wells or to prevent children from falling into them. In the Middle Ages of the West, the opening of the well was relatively large, and the height of the well was built up to the height of the adult's waist, and pulleys, rocks, and wheels were erected on it, and this rotating mechanism was used to draw water.

Now Yang Qian saw that by the well, there were broken pieces of wooden barrels and some crude clay pots. Hanging from the crank used to rotate the water in the well, the rope had been loosened and fell into the well. The edge of the well was covered with a layer of dust, and even the moss between the cracks in the stones had dried up.

Seeing this kind of scene, the hearts of the four of them sank more and more. How long had it been since the well had not been used before the four of them arrived, and the well, which was the lifeblood of such a small village, had been abandoned for a long time, and it was already a faint sign that something must have happened in the small village of the four people.

"Go check it out. Wood Road.

Serge walked to the well, glanced at it and stepped back in panic.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yi asked, stepping forward and looking down at the well.

Yang Yi just looked at it, and he couldn't help but have a strong desire to vomit.

But I saw a floating corpse soaking at the bottom of the well, because it had been soaked for too long, it had already swelled and swollen, and the whole skin was exposed to a feeling that it would erode if it was touched slightly. The corpse was about the corpse of a woman, half of its long hair had fallen off her scalp, revealing a decomposing skull. The rest of the long hair was scattered in the water, floating like silky wisps, looking like aquatic plants in the water at first glance, but it also exuded a sinister aura. ...,

And her face was even more swollen into a huge steamed bun that had been soaked in porridge for too long. On the face that had long been unable to see the original appearance, he could only see one eye swollen into a walnut, and the other eye was horribly protruding, and the light-colored pupils of the Western race were open angrily, and the eyes were fiercely staring at the sky the size of the well.

Stared at by this vicious eye, Yang Yi instinctively felt cold, and swept off half of the horseshoe on the edge of the wellhead.

The horseshoe fell vertically and smashed directly into the woman's face, and almost unhindered it fell deeply, and the whole horseshoe was actually directly embedded in the inside of her face!

The already hideous and terrifying face had this horsehoe, and it was even more intense with an evil and cold aura that was many times stronger.

At the same time, the fall of the horseshoe was even more shocking to the things that were lying dormant on the well, and a swarm of petty flies buzzed out of the well, and erupted from the mouth of the well like a torrential rain.

Yang Yi hurriedly avoided the swarm of flies, and only then could he feel a foul smell as strong as substance, like an activated biochemical bomb, bursting around the tip of his nose. And just now, the stench was so intense that he couldn't smell it with his non-human sense of smell!

At the same time, Wood and Malna, who were behind him, smelled the stench, and took a few steps backwards in unison, their faces disgusted and vomiting, and they had already guessed what was under the well.

Yang Yi buckled his mouth and nose and stepped back, asked Malna for a piece of flannel, poured the essential oil extracted from the sun hibiscus grass, and whispered: "Like me, covering your mouth and nose can prevent plague and stench." ”

The other three all covered their mouths and noses following Yang Yi's demonstration, and the nausea in them was much better.

Looking around, the sick black dog had disappeared.

Yang Yi frowned and asked, "Where did the dog go?"

Marna pointed northwest with his scimitar and said, "Over there." ”

After that, he was just about to leave, but Wood grabbed his arm and said, "No need." Let's get out of here!"

"For what?" Yang Yi said.

Wood said quickly, "If it's time to save the village, we're too late. If we're here to do the last job, we're here too early. It's still here! We don't have enough power to deal with it. Get out now, now!"

The last word, Wood, was almost shouted, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the sky, which had been relatively bright, was rapidly darkening. There were no clouds, no fog, no signs of rain, and it suddenly darkened without any warning, as if it had transitioned from early morning to evening in less than ten seconds. And the sky continued to change to the dark side, the blue turned to dark gray, and continued to turn into deep black, like night!

Early in the morning and in the dark of the night!

In that strange dark night sky, I can't see the stars at night, and the sun can still see it at this time. It looked like a pale white spot that had been spotted there weakly, and it didn't feel the light or heat it should have.

Immediately, the cold hit, and the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees in a short period of time. Although it was not so cold that it made people feel cold, Yang Yi's extraordinary vision was to see the white breath that Wood and the others were spewing out of their nostrils because of nervousness. Yang Yi didn't know if he had spewed out this kind of white breath that could only be seen at low temperatures, he just felt that in addition to the evil breath that spewed out of the well, he also smelled a strong smell of sulfur!

The next moment, the sun was completely obscured from the sky, and darkness descended on the earth. At the same time, a creepy sensation washed over like a shockwave!

It's like someone has put a block of ice in your tail vertebrae, and the chill spreads from the tail vertebrae to both ends, making your scalp tense and your toes tense and bent up. ...,

Almost instinctively, Malna retracted the scimitar in his hand and raised it flat in front of his chest in a defensive motion, Serge's bow and arrow kept changing the direction of the arrow in his hand, alertly trying to find the source, and Wood showed his weapon for the first time in front of Yang Yi, hammering a three-spiked flail underneath, and gently waving its handle to make it move, and pour the force of the shot.

Yang Yi's reaction was faster than the three of them, maybe he was still a novice in terms of missions, but when facing danger, his extraordinary physique made him chant quickly without thinking, and put a layer of light blessing on the three of them.

But he clearly forgot about the horses around him, and all four horses were frightened at the same time, and they all screamed in surprise, instinctively trying to escape. The four horses struggled in a panic at the same time, and the man stood up and raised his forefoot into the air, and the uneasy horse's eyes widened angrily, and his mouth spewed out a much thicker white breath than the four.

"Segi!" Yang Yi shouted, and suddenly rushed forward, slamming his shoulder into Seji under the horse's hooves.

Wood grabbed Yang Yi's vest with his free hand and pulled it back, allowing him to avoid the hind hooves of one of the horses.

In this way, the vigilance of the four people was disrupted, and the scene was chaotic!

Feeling that his horse was rushing to break free of the reins, the inexperienced Yang Yi would only pull it hard.

"Alfonso, loosen the reins of the horse, hold the horse's head and touch its face gently!" Wood shouted, first calming his horse.

Yang Yi immediately learned to do it, and the horse slowly quieted down.

By the end of the chaos, the village was completely shrouded in darkness, and something unknowable had truly arrived.

Wood looked at the darkness in front of him, and smiled bitterly: "I can't go now." Then his face froze, his eyes became decisive and calm, and he shouted, "Light the torch!"
