Chapter 209: Widow
"Go back to your own carriage and hide with your brother, we're in trouble. ”
The carriage came to a slow stop, and after Gehr explained to James, he didn't care about him anymore and jumped directly from the carriage.
A combination of a wandering merchant and a traveler like James, who often wanders in the wilderness, alertness has become his instinct. As soon as Gehr spoke, he immediately realized that he might be in trouble, and he stopped talking and immediately returned to his carriage. And his younger brother Morris also cooperated to take out a long box from under his seat, quickly opened it, took out the short sword and the rope tied to the stones at both ends, and gave it to James, while he himself took out a polished shiny hand crossbow, skillfully loaded the arrow, and vigilantly scanned the woods on both sides.
"What's the situation?" asked James softly as he took his short sword and shielded most of his body with the help of the carriage, carefully scanning his surroundings.
"There's the smell of blood and the stench of rotting, people. ”
Gehr said lightly, paused, and added the last two words, and the cross sword was already in his hand.
It was very quiet, and the incessant sound of insects in the woods was gone, only the rustle of the wind blowing through the treetops was left, which seemed a little weird.
"How's it going?"
Both Camerita and Belif were armed and protected the rear for Gehr, waiting intently for Gehr's decision.
"Found it. ”
In Gehr's eyes, the red stream of data rolled like a torrent, and soon, he found the source of all this.
Burst!
Gehr is not far from the ground in front of him. A fist-sized stone was easily picked up by Gehr, and after catching it with his left hand, he swung it forward. The stone instantly turned into a black dot and flew into the woods, with a dull crashing sound.
Then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded.
This time. The quiet woods suddenly began to boil like boiling water, and the sound of clattering through the trees was endless, and dark shadows came out of the shadows of the trees.
"Scarecrows, and puppets?"
Gehr looked at the guys who walked out into the sun a little strangely, and they were no different from the scarecrows that the farmers used to drive away birds in the fields, the same tattered clothes, the same big felt hats, the same withered yellow straw, the empty eyes and big mouths that looked like they were laughing, and they all had an indescribable eerie feeling, and they also held a long-handled scythe in their hands. The only difference is that the scarecrows in the field need to be supported by wooden stakes, and these scarecrows can walk freely on their feet just like humans.
Behind the scarecrow, there are also some puppets, compared to the one-man tall scarecrow, these puppets are a head shorter, but looking at their sharp blades below the elbow instead of arms, you can see that they are not easy to match.
"Wraiths are dead. ”
"Blackkeep Monsters!"
The first words are from the words of Camerita and Bellive, and the exclamations at the back are those of the Brothers Grimm.
"How can there be a monster in Blackcastle? Isn't this a fairy tale monster from Sigia?!!" Morris cried out, flipping through his precious notebook.
"Wraiths are servants made by bone pickers. Now that the Wraith Puppet has appeared, the bone pickers who are manipulating them must be nearby, Gehr, be careful. Camerita calmly reminded.
"Young Master. It's useless for these special minions to cut off their heads, and their drive cores must be destroyed, but the location of the core is known only to the maker. However, it is also possible to cut off their limbs, and the wraiths are stronger than ordinary people. It's not a big threat to us, it's the bone pickers in the back that we have to be careful. Beliff added.
Gehr glanced at the resentful puppets that appeared. There were eight scarecrows and eleven puppets, forming a semicircle and surrounding the carriage.
"Kill these first. ”
Passive defense has never been Gehr's character, and in an instant, he made a decision, and before the words fell, the whole person had turned into a black shadow, and rushed straight to the nearest resentful ghost puppet who had stepped out of the woods for some distance.
Clang!
Gehr blocked the scycrow's oncoming scythe with a sword and kicked it hard. With a muffled thud, Gell kicked the scarecrow in the chest like a piece of rotting wood, not at all as fragile as it seemed. However, this did not hinder Gehr, and the scarecrow flew upside down at his feet, slamming into a tree, shaking off a lot of branches and leaves.
"The strength is at the reserve knight level, the weight is about the same as that of an adult male, and the speed is average, I don't know if Lu Dao has any other special abilities. ”
In just a short contact, Gehr had already made a rough judgment on the strength of this resentful ghost.
The scarecrow who crashed into a tree and fell to the ground only paused slightly, and immediately got back to his feet, and it seemed that the kick didn't hurt him much.
"Detect the trajectory of energy flow in the enemy's body. ”
A blue grid instantly appeared in Geer's vision, and when he looked at the bodies of these wraiths, countless tiny red spots were immediately reflected, and these spots merged together to form tiny red streams that flowed through the bodies of the wraiths.
"Detection completed......
A smile tugged at the corners of Geer's mouth, and in the eyes of others, he only paused slightly after kicking the flying scarecrow, and then immediately lowered himself and rushed forward again.
The next moment, the bladed arm of a puppet standing in front of him soared into the sky and left its body, and the cross sword in Gehr's hand sliced through the puppet's right waist with a single spin, and penetrated deep into it.
Click......
With a few crisp sounds, the puppet's other bladed arm that the puppet wanted to swing paused in mid-air, and then hung down weakly, and as Gehr pulled out the sword, the puppet's body fell to the ground as if it had lost its support, no longer moving.
Having found the weakness of these wraiths, these terrifying-looking creatures were completely devoid of threat in Gehr's eyes, and were not even as threatening as a real reserve knight.
As for dealing with these resentful ghosts, although they did not have the ability to directly see through the core of the energy operation of these monsters, they had learned how to deal with the unique monsters in their respective churches, so it was very easy to deal with them.
The triangular impact formation of the three of them was rampaging through these wraiths, and these terrifying-looking man-made monsters had no way to take the three of them.
Seeing this scene, the Brothers Grimm's eyes straightened.
"James, hey, James, I read that right......" Morris elbowed his brother next to him, who was also a little sluggish.
Smack.
The dagger fell.
James woke up like a dream, quickly picked up the short sword, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and his words were also incredulous: "It should be right, it's true." Maurice, take a look at your notes and see what the story says?"
"Wait, I'll flip it again...... Found it, found it!"
Maurice put his crossbow down and flipped through the notebook in his hand.
"What does it say?"
"I'll see...... Ok ok. Maurice put his index finger to his mouth and licked it, then pinched a page and leaned his face closer to look at it: "Legend has it that the Black Castle Monster was born in a very secret castle located deep in the forest, its real name is unknown, because the castle is made of black masonry, so people call it Black Castle. Every full moon night, the monsters of the Black Castle leave the Black Castle and walk out of the forest, attacking the humans, devouring their flesh and blood, and the people are miserable. At this time, a group of brave demon hunters came out, and they killed the monsters, destroyed the Black Castle, and restored the people to a peaceful life......"
"So, the three of them are legendary demon hunters?" James watched in disbelief as Gehr was killing in and out of the Wraith.
"Wait, I'm a little confused......" Morris frowned, and after a moment, suddenly jumped out of the carriage.
"What are you doing, Maurice?!" cried out to his brother's actions, and jumped out of the carriage as he did.
"It's all right, James, right away. Maurice ignored his brother at all, and with a low voice and a few trottes, he came to the edge of the battlefield, pulled up a puppet on the ground that had been destroyed by Gehr, and immediately turned and ran towards the carriage.
"Maurice, you're looking for death!" At this time, James also followed, and their brothers were lucky, the Wraith Couple was attracted by the three Gehrs, and did not target the two brothers.
"Hey, help me. Compared to the fear of the Wraith's appearance, Morris's face was only excited, he didn't pay attention to what his brother James was talking about, and when he saw James appear in front of him, he called his brother to help.
James had long understood his brother's personality, and at this time, he was completely in the excitement, and could not listen to what he said, so he could only go up and help Morris drag the puppet, while swearing in his mouth.
After a while, the two of them were back to the carriage.
"Why is this thing so heavy?" James shook his somewhat weak arm, and couldn't help but shudder as he looked at the bladed arm on the puppet's hand on the ground, which was still shining with cold light.
"Give me your dagger. Maurice ignored his brother's emotions and reached out and asked him for a weapon.
"What are you going to do?" he said, but James subconsciously handed over the short sword in his hand.
Morris, who took the short sword, did not stop for the slightest, and directly held the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword pointed downward, and stabbed into the chest of the puppet below.
Poof!
A stream of blood arrows spurted out along the puppet's pierced opening, staining the upper half of Morris's body red.
"The blood of human beings is the source of strength, and the flesh of human beings is used to construct the body...... James, it's true...... It's true, there really are Black Castle devils, and there are demon hunters......"
Morris's expression was frenetic, and he trembled with excitement. (To be continued......)
