Due to the needs of the Kingdom of Gasell, a group of people were recruited from the main temple of the Blood-killing Church, under the four squares of its tower, east, west, north and south, and sent to the city of King Garok, that is, the location of the general temple, also known as the general church.

The location of the tower is the city of Muslim, and some time ago, the group of people who were sent out from the tower seat were on the way to the city of King Garok, and a strange thing happened.

A whole group of people, including the leader of the team, disappeared for no reason on the way, and there was no more news, and even the archbishop's Chihiro Eagle could not find their traces.

It stands to reason that on the way, even if they die, there must be a corpse, but these hundreds of people don't even have a "living mouth", so they disappear without a trace.

Therefore, it is suspected that something happened in Lingdaoling, because it is a vast forest, and even Chihiro Eagle can't do anything about it.

After all, it was a forest, and Chihiro Eagle could only operate in the sky above, unable to explore the dense deep forest.

As the head priest of the tower under the quadrangle, the tower immediately sent a team to investigate the matter and find out what happened.

.

.

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the forest was becoming more and more gloomy, and the dark and strange forest seemed to be shrouded in a layer of death-like aura.

The team that set off from the West Tower of the Guard, at this moment, the team leader and a team of men and horses are walking towards the depths of the forest.

"Ahh——!h

At the back of the line, someone suddenly screamed.

"What's going on?" shouted the rest of the group in horror, probably terrified by the environment.

"What's going on?"

The captain of the team raised the torch and turned back vigilantly and asked.

I saw a person kneeling in the grass and said in a panic, "No, it's nothing, I just didn't pay attention and was tripped by these grass vines!"

At this time, someone looked around in fear and said timidly: "Captain Dawn, let's go back, it's dark here!"

"You are all clergy, how can your mental quality be so poor!"

The leader named Dawn scolded.

"Yes, what's there to be afraid of! Don't go back and embarrass the recruits! Besides, we are outnumbered, if the other party comes to kill one by one, ten pairs to kill ten pairs......

At this moment, someone in the team pulled out a one-star bronze and silver sword with an engraved cross blade.

Because the side of the sword protrudes from a small sharp corner, it looks like a cross blade, and there is a four-pointed star at the hilt, so it is called a star.

At this moment, at the end of his hilt, there was an energy crystal emitting a faint green light, which was embedded into the hilt like a levitating magnet.

It seems that the energy of the spar is absorbed by the hilt of the sword, and a faint green streamer from the core of the hilt extends to the inscription on the sword body.

.

"Captain, there's a corpse in front of you!"

At this time, not far away, a member of the team suddenly trotted over and shouted.

As soon as he heard this, the leader of the team, Dawn, hurried over.

But when he saw the corpse, his face was condensed, skin and bones, black as charcoal, for this way of death, he frowned suspiciously, squatted down, picked up a branch and turned the corpse to check.

At this time, someone said, "Captain Daun, it doesn't look like this man's death was done by the Bloodeaters!"

"Yes, all of them are dried corpses, and they are blackened, as if they had been scorched from the inside by fire. ”

Dawn held a torch and shone it in the vicinity, but there was no sign of burning at the scene, and there was no sign of movement, and for a moment, he didn't know what was going on.

"Looking at this person's movements, there doesn't seem to be any signs of struggle before he died, and there is not even a single wound on this corpse, how is this caused?"

One of the team calmly analyzed.

"Well, this kind of death, we have never encountered it, Zhou Ji, you stay to make a record, and the others scatter, continue to search around here, and see if there are any other clues. ”

Daun, the leader of the team, instructed Zhou Ji, who had just spoken, and said to the others.

"Yes!"

Immediately, everyone divided the labor and cooperated.

.

"Whoosh-"

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the depths of the jungle, and the surrounding leaves rattled.

"Who?"

Suddenly, a man in the group raised a torch and looked around vigilantly.

"What's wrong, Ricky?"

Richie frowned and said with a panicked expression, "No, it shouldn't be, it just felt like something was passing by." ”

"Where's the thing, there's nothing, I think you're too nervous!"

"Don't you think this forest is eerie, forget it, let's go back to the captain to meet!" said Richie, nervously pulling out the crossblade, holding the bronze and silver sword in his hand and walking back.

.

"Are there any other discoveries?"

Dawn asked when he saw some of the team members returning.

"Report to the captain, no!"

"Report to the captain, there is no one here!"

The others also returned to the meeting place one after another, but they all shook their heads.

"After a day's journey, you can eat something and rest for a while, and then we will continue later. As he spoke, he suddenly realized that the number was wrong, and asked:

"By the way, what about the others?"

"I don't know, we're all scattered. ”

"Captain, do you think they're going to get lost?" said someone else.

"Well, I don't rule out this possibility, this forest is so big that it's hard to see its whole picture, and this forest... It felt a little unusual, different from usual, and I couldn't tell what it was for a while.

In this way, I will take a few people out to look for it, you rest here, but ......" As he said this, Dawn glanced in the direction of the corpse and said cautiously:

"Be careful to send someone to stay!!" Dawn ordered and left with a few men.

.

Not long after, a black shadow flashed, like wind and mist, but there were phantoms, as if the darkness of the night had covered his figure.

At this moment, the clergy who remained here did not notice the anomaly and danger coming.

Just now, he was eating and talking, but he was just blinking an eye, but he was wrapped in a black shadow, and he died before he could react.

This kind of silent and life-threatening thing happened one after another, silently, and in two or three breaths, corpses were all over the field, like dried corpses......

At this moment, Dawn was leading a few people deep into the dense forest.

"Team, captain, Buda who just followed is gone!" suddenly one exclaimed.

Dawn looked back, frowned, and asked, "What's going on!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other and shaking their heads to indicate that they don't know.

Dawn looked around along the darkness in front of him, only to see the breeze and the leaves in the darkness rustling in the breeze.

He hadn't noticed anything wrong before, but now he noticed something unusual, and he seemed to sense danger.

I saw him carefully pull out, he would use the teacher's cross-blade two-star fine silver sword, look around cautiously and say, "Attention! Stand in formation and be ready to fight at any time!"

Dawn's voice just fell.

"Ah————!!h

I heard a scream, and suddenly another person disappeared, and disappeared before I even had time to call for help.

"Team, captain, what was that just now, I can't see the target at all!" At this time, someone began to panic, trembling and waving the bronze and silver sword and roaring wildly.

"Don't mess with your own formation! Listen to my command and set up a defensive formation!"

Daun shouted, his eyes fixed in horror.

To be continued......
