"Teacher!" Mila who picked up the light crossbow and a crossbow bolt from the side threw it to Henry without winding it, and the sage didn't look at it, but pulled the string with one hand and held the crossbow finger in the other, and placed the crossbow bolt on the arrow groove - his series of movements took less than two seconds, but by the time the crossbow machine pointed over, it was empty.

"Where's it going?" said Mira, staring blankly at the window, as she pulled another crossbow machine into place with a "click" with a booster lever and placed the bolt.

The campfires were burning, and because the candles had run out of candles, they had no source of light outside the pit, so there were some flickering lights at the edge of the fire pit's radial range.

"Stand back, don't block the fire. Naturally, the people approached, but the sage turned around and waved his hand, asking them to stay away.

With only one source of light, their vision is severely limited, and the large number of people is only a hindrance.

Most of them, with the exception of Henry and Mira, retreated to the indoor area near the bathroom. The Luna Kuni-style wooden buildings are fragile, and the thin paper windows and doors do not provide real protection compared to the stone houses of the Rigalese. However, the contrast between the paper window and the glass lacks sufficient visibility, and the things outside the window are only hazy shadows, and there is no clear direct vision, coupled with insufficient lighting, so that even our sage man has fallen into a rare situation of insufficient grasp of the situation for a while.

People unconsciously held their breath, the food they had just tasted was placed next to the fire, and the two people in front of them listened intently, making up for the lack of vision with their hearing, carefully watching for any possible movement.

"Maybe it's because of the angle of the light? The moonlight and the like cast a figure on the window that wasn't actually standing in front of you. Still unwilling to believe how easily the traps and warnings they had carefully set up had been breached, Mira whispered to her teacher, but the Sage shook his head.

"The shadows are too clear. "And the size is normal, it's not from afar." ”

The two men whispered to each other, slowly leaning towards the place where the shadow had appeared earlier.

"One God is above, One God is above, One God is above!!" But at this time, Edge behind him suddenly couldn't help but start praying loudly, this sudden movement made Mira, who was a little distracted by the conversation in front of her, almost didn't react to stress and turned around and pulled the crossbow in her hand, but fortunately, the person next to her stopped Edge in time, and the missionary, who realized how stupid his behavior was, quickly covered his mouth.

His face was pale, he was breathing heavily, cold sweat seeping out non-stop, and for a moment he had soaked all the new underwear he had put on.

Mira rolled up her sleeves and tightened her waist, the commoners of the Moon Country did not know why they were all popular with particularly wide sleeves, this style that seemed quite pompous to the Roan maiden was an element of the nobles' top costumes in Rigal, and it was a bit of a hindrance for adventurers who were accustomed to light intimate clothing.

The two men who had leaned down and leaned closer to that side quickly stood up when they reached the window, and Henry opened the window with a "boom" after a glance at Mira, and then the two of them leaned out with their light crossbows together.

The sound of the wind immediately poured in through the open window, causing the bonfire in the fire pit to sway, and everyone's faces to flicker.

But other than that, they didn't find anything.

In the distance, the cordon of cables with black outlines in the moonlight and the spoons of nearby residents swayed in the wind, making a subtle "ding-ding" sound, which became distinct and audible when the windows were opened.

But there was no greater movement on top of that, and the traps on the ground were not triggered.

It's like no one has ever been here.

"Whoever brings a torch? Henry stretched out his hand to close the window, motioned with his eyes for the girl to retreat into the house, and turned around and hooked his hand in that direction.

"Bang!" said him, but as soon as he finished speaking, another loud noise rang out, and the two of them turned around, and Galeva, who had accidentally stepped on the wooden bowl, laughed wryly, and then took a relatively long piece of wood from the fire and walked over. 'You guy!' Mira expressed her displeasure in a small voice and a vicious look, while the soup behind her, which had been trampled by the young man, spread on the wooden planks and began to soak in, and some of it flowed into the fire pit and made a "sizzle" sound when it came into contact with the red-hot charcoal, and began to emit some smoke.

Some of the choking smoke caused many people to cough, and the moment Henry took the torch, a voice that was clearly not made by the people around him rang out.

It sounded like someone was retching, but with some weird trills.

The air froze, and everyone stayed in that motion, their bodies stiffening.

"The voice was, in the room—" the sage snapped—" and raised the torch in his hand with a loud voice, and the dark shadow lying on the beam of the room was immediately revealed by him.

It was staring down with its large, dark eyes, which shrank into pinpoints in the moment they were directly illuminated by the firelight. "Hit!" the sage shouted, and almost simultaneously withheld the crossbow in his hand at the same time as Mira beside him.

"Boom——!!" "Snatch!", "Click!!" "That thing is on the beam!!" the slow-moving Galava shouted loudly to warn the others, but both crossbows failed, Henry's nailed to the beams and Mira's shot directly through the roof tiles, and the moonlight fell through the leakage, and the unknown creature had disappeared without a trace.

"One God on One, One God on One!!" Age couldn't hold back his panic again, he muttered loudly, and Henry quickly rushed to the place where the equipment was stored.

"Find out where you got in. The thought of a guy about the size of a man sneaking into the hut silently was heart-wrenching, but Lulu was the only one who moved after Henry's words - she didn't fully understand Lamanite, but the sage's tone and movements were more or less intriguing his intentions.

And then. Henry rewound the crossbow in his hand and handed it to Lulu, and the petite girl understood how to use it after a little observation. On the other side, Mira also handed the crossbow in her hand to Galeva, and then quickly ran to the vicinity of the equipment with the sage, and quickly put on the plate armor on her body.

"Gather in a circle, and take something to protect yourself. "There aren't enough real weapons, but together with axes and clubs and the like, they're barely enough to arm everyone. They leaned close to the fire, and it didn't take long to pick up the torches made of firewood, but they couldn't make more reliable lighting tools due to the lack of grease.

"Any ideas. Mira and Henry formed a shield on the outermost periphery, she reached out and hooked the little unicorn to lean in, she thought about the horror of this creature and was drenched in a cold sweat, not only escaped Henry's perception, but even the alert little unicorn did not react.

"This place can't stay! this place can't stay!" Edge's panic began to spread, affecting the others around him, and his shouting caused several other missionaries to turn their questioning eyes on the sage as well.

There weren't many torches available in the fire pit, and the campfire gradually began to grow smaller and darker as the visibility of the environment decreased, and fear began to spread.

"Evacuate to the bathroom. Henry made the decision, because the wood was damp, and the small bathroom in the house was the only place where the stone structure was used, which was relatively more stable, and the roof was lower, so as to avoid the recurrence of the situation just now.

But before they could move, a very loud "jingle bell" sound suddenly sounded outside, followed by a huge "snap" sound of the trap closing with a strange scream, and then the outside of the window was covered by countless black shadows, and before they could react, the fragile paper window was pierced.

"That's a lot!" "What a daze, shoot an arrow!" "Bang bang!!" Three crossbow bolts were fired, and Kaleva's shot missed.

"Boom-" Henry kicked the cauldron and threw it at the inhuman beings who threw themselves into the window, and then glanced at it but couldn't find another exit.

"Run!" he shouted, and then pulled out Kramer with a "bang."

"Vomit—" A retching sound came from the strange creatures that rushed in, and the sage managed to cut off the head of one of them with a blow from Kramer, and the foul blood splattered out, and he immediately pulled away and the blood that had fallen on the ground suddenly ignited a green flame.

"What the hell. The group behind him panicked, and the blood from the flame on Henry's greatsword seemed to have some kind of confrontational reaction with Kramer, he frowned, and at the same time Mira behind him commanded the little unicorn to turn over and kick the wall on the other side directly.

"Teacher, hurry up!" she shouted as the cold wind poured in quickly, and the others quickly walked out through the breach, but the sage stayed where he was.

The humanoids who rushed in, ignoring the death of their companions and Henry, who was close at hand, all threw themselves towards the cauldron, and the rest approached the torches that had just been extinguished on the ground.

"Attracted by the heat?" Henry noticed, but the creatures finally turned their heads to look over at him—or more accurately, past him to the makeshift torches in the hands of the group running outside.

"Drop the torch and stay still!" the sage shouted, and several hesitated, but did as he was in a panic as they saw the creatures pass past him and begin to move towards the breach.

"Huh!!" several torches were dropped on the muddy ground with some snow, making a noise but still swaying, and the creatures that hobbled and looked like humans gathered around the torches again, shaking their heads at the light of the flames.

"Let's go!" Although even the sage himself did not figure out the reason, he seized the opportunity and waved his hand to signal the group to withdraw again towards another hut on the other side.

"Didn't catch up—" The Luoan girl and the others who looked back also noticed this, and a dozen or twenty humanoid dark shadows gathered around the fading torches, as if they had not even noticed the presence of these living people.

"This one. "By the moonlight they chose a relatively large house that looked like the village had a big face to live in, there were two floors here, and if those things were attacked again, they would have more room to move around and a place to retreat.

"Ha-ha-" "Bang-" Edgy, who was covered in cold sweat and had weak feet, sat directly on the floor covered with straw mats, gasping for air, and no one would accuse him of making any more indisputable noise.

"What the hell is going on, Teacher?" said Mira to Henry, the sage holding Kramer with one hand and the wooden door with the other, he shook his head, "I just know that I will be attracted to the heat." ”

"Then we can't light the fire, can't we?" Galeva next to him finally clevered himself, and Lulu tugged at the corner of Mira's coat to ask her to answer, and the girl began to explain in a somewhat dry language, while the sage observed for a while, and then closed the door.

"It's terrible to keep warm without a fire in this kind of weather, and the change of clothes is still hanging in that house. Crossbow Bolts—" The people who had been evacuated from the house in a hurry looked panicked, most of their supplies were still stored there, all three light crossbows had been fired, and there were no usable crossbows and they were all waste.

The sound of rustling and retching, accompanied by the sound of the wind, was still clearly captured by the nervous ears of the people.

"Anyway, check this room first, be careful, you can't light it anyway. The complete unknown situation caught the group off guard, and it was the first time for Mira and Henry that they had fallen into such a passive predicament, but the matter was not over yet, and the introspection of their own carelessness could wait until they were safe to come.

"Lulu and I will go up to the second floor for an examination. Relying on the armor she was still wearing, the Luoan girl took the long sword in her hand and spoke through the dark night.
