The next morning, while Lilith was still sleeping, Lance had already gotten up and began to absorb the wind elementals around her.

By the time he escaped from the underground caverns, the elemental power in his magical heart had already been depleted, and he had to replenish it in time.

Although the power of the Godhead will be automatically restored, being in this unknown forest and always in the best condition is a necessary quality for every qualified adventurer.

Lilith slept soundly and didn't wake up until noon.

She looked at Lance, who had been guarding her, and her heart was extremely sweet.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the stream and wash our faces, and then we'll leave here and head to my hometown of the Southern Kingdom. ”

"Hmm. ”

At this time, Lilith, after receiving Lance's popular science, was like a well-behaved little girl, Lance was whatever she said, and she was very obedient.

After a light wash, lunch is still grilled fish.

Long before Lilith woke up, Lance had already determined that they were heading south.

He was eager to return to the Southern Kingdom sooner.

Ike must have thought something had happened to him, so he feared that Ike would do something crazy about it, such as seeking revenge on Grom Bloodfang.

After a half-day journey, Lance and Lilith came to the south of the forest, where there were already some traces of human activity.

Lance crouched down, looked at some messy footprints on the ground, and said to Lilith, who was following him, "Not long ago, there must have been a group of people walking by here, who seemed to be very panicked, let's be careful." ”

With that, Lance took Lilith and walked carefully in the direction of the footprints.

Soon, a small village with just over a dozen families appeared in front of Lance and Lilith.

The village is not big, the small houses with earthen walls look a little dilapidated, and a dirt and stone road extends more than ten meters forward, and then turns a right-angle bend to the left, so you can't see the situation in the village from the entrance of the village.

It was getting dark, but there were no lights in the village, which made the little village look a bit dead and eerie.

As Lance and the others approached the entrance to the village, a faint smell of blood wafted from the village.

Intuition told Lance that something must be going on in the village.

Although it is speculated that something is going on in the village, Lance, who has always been very curious, is ready to go in and find out.

He frowned and whispered to Lilith: "There may be something wrong in the village, since we are all here, let's go in and see what's going on!"

"Hmm. ”

Lilith obediently responded, and then followed Lance, who had already summoned the sword of Sohana, into the village cautiously.

The dirt and gravel roads in the village were dry, and the occasional sight of freshly coagulated red blood reinforced Lance's suspicions.

There was no sound in the entire village, except for the slight footsteps of Lance and Lilith.

When Lance and the others walked around the corner of the dirt and gravel road, the scene in front of them made Lance gasp.

Dozens of mutilated corpses appeared in front of his eyes, as if they had been bitten and eaten by some wild beast, and the internal organs of the stumps were dragged everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody.

These dozens of corpses, old and young, men and women, and even some of them were soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Northern Kingdom army.

Presumably, there must have been a very fierce battle before he died.

The moment Lance saw the corpse, Lance hurriedly blindfolded Lilith.

He didn't want Lilith to see such a bloody scene, but just as Lance had just blindfolded Lilith, Lilith forcefully broke Lance's hand covering his eyes away.

Clearly, Lance's worries were unfounded.

When Lilith saw such a bloody scene, she didn't show that the girl was scared, but closed her eyes and gently put her hand in front of her, as if she was feeling something.

After a moment, Lilith opened her eyes under Lance's puzzled gaze and said, "Not long after these people died, they were killed by some kind of crimson creature, and I can vaguely see those crimson figures from the souls of these deceased. ”

"You...... What do you say? Can you see what these people were killed by?"

Lance looked at Lilith with some confusion.

"Yes, their souls haven't dissipated yet, so of course I can see it!"

"Does that mean you can still communicate with the spirits of the dead?"

"I've always been able to communicate with souls, otherwise how would I communicate with my friends in the abyss? ”

Lilith's explanation made Lance understand something.

After coming out of the abyss, he no longer felt the evil aura on Lilith's body, which should have something to do with her weakened ability.

And when Lance was communicating with the mysterious woman, Lilith fainted inexplicably, presumably these were all done by the mysterious woman, she should also do this to protect Lilith from being regarded as an alternative on the Kstana continent.

Just as Lance was about to leave with Lilith, at the corner of the dirt road in the village, more than a dozen vicious dogs with fierce lights appeared, all red, and half a human high.

And in the center of the vicious dog, there is also a burly man wearing a red cloak and holding a long whip.

Presumably, this is the culprit who killed the villagers and these Northern Kingdom soldiers.

Seeing that he was not good, Lance immediately crossed his sword in front of his chest and assumed a defensive posture.

He whispered to Lilith: "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after I walked out of the forest, looking at this person's appearance, he should be an animal trainer, and he must follow me later." ”

"Hmm. ”

Just as Lance was talking to Lilith, the burly man also said coldly: "I didn't expect that I had already hidden in such a remote place, and I was still found by you ghostly mercenaries, since this is the case, then you will become food for the treasures!"

With that, the burly man waved his hand forward, and more than a dozen vicious dogs immediately rushed towards Lance and the others.

The burly man's words made Lance depressed for a while.

It turns out that this is the target of the mercenary's want, and they are also considered mercenaries.

But at that moment, seeing the vicious dogs rushing over, Lance didn't have time to think about it, the long sword in his hand shook, and several wind blades that were more powerful and faster than before, he broke away from the long sword and flew out towards the vicious dogs.

With Lilith, who had no combat power, Lance did not dare to rush up to fight the vicious dogs, so he had to choose passive defense.

When the first red dog dodged the wind blade and pounced on Lance, Lance's sword quickly slashed at the dog.

The strength of these vicious dogs was average, so they could not pose any threat to Lance at all, and the first red vicious dog was split in half by Lance without any suspense under the sharp sword of Sohana.

The strong smell of blood immediately aroused the ferocity of other vicious dogs.

Their muffled growls became even more ferocious.

When the second and third vicious dogs also pounced, and Lance was about to slash out the second sword, he was surprised to find that Lilith, who was blocked behind him, quickly put her little hand forward, and with a wave of her hand, the two vicious dogs that pounced on him were shot out as if they had suffered some major blow.

However, what surprised Lance even more was still behind, only to see Lilith grab the void with her hand, and a long sword on the corpse of a soldier in the Northern Kingdom immediately flew into Lilith's hand, and then Lilith put on the same sword posture as Lance's basic swordsmanship.

Under Lance's surprised gaze, she moved her steps, stepped on the basic footwork, and rushed into the group of vicious dogs, like a swordsmanship warrior.

Seeing that Lilith had taken the initiative to attack, Lance didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly came to Lilith's side, and the two jointly launched an attack on the red vicious dogs.

The strength of these vicious dogs is not strong, and although the strength shown by Lilith is not as good as that of Lance, it is more than enough to deal with these red vicious dogs.

Without scruples, Lance's attack became even more aggressive.

He didn't bring out the power of the godhead, and relying on basic swordsmanship alone, after a few rounds, he had already killed four or five red vicious dogs.

This is the difference in strength.

And at this moment, the burly man shouted: "If you dare to hurt my children, I will kill you." ”

The burly man saw that his red vicious dog not only failed to hurt Lance and the others, but was also killed seven or eight heads, such a loss was completely unacceptable to the burly man.

Originally, when Lance and the others entered the village, the burly man had already noticed them, but who would have thought that these two young men would have such a strong strength.

However, the burly man who fell into a state of rage didn't care about the difference in strength at all, and with a long whip in his hand, he made a whip in the air, and rushed straight towards Lance and the two.

Seeing the burly man's sudden and menacing attack, Lance's face showed a contemptuous smile, and then he blasted away a vicious dog that was grappling with him with a punch, roared, and rushed towards the burly man.

The distance of more than ten meters is almost a blink of an eye.

Just as Lance swung his sword and was about to slash at the burly man, he saw the burly man flick the long whip in his hand, and he was already wrapped around the long sword that Lance swung.

This whip of the burly man is made of animal tendons, full of toughness, as long as the sword is entangled, he doesn't want to break free at all, as long as he exerts force, he can easily disarm it.

Is Lance's Sword of Sohana a normal sword?

Apparently not.

However, Lance did not take advantage of the sharpness of the sword of Sohana, and as soon as his mind moved, several wind blades were vibrated from the edge of the sword and were stimulated, like a saw that was quickly pulled by someone, and easily cut the long whip into several pieces.

The sudden change surprised the burly man.

He didn't expect that his whip would be cut off so easily, and the blonde young man in front of him was actually a magic swordsman.

Horrified, the burly man threw away the severed whip, quickly drew a short knife from his waist, and began to engage Lance in hand-to-hand combat.

But this burly man was also Lance's opponent.

When the burly man began to fight with Lance in close combat, Lance immediately activated the wind element and the power of the godhead, and suddenly Lance's speed and momentum skyrocketed.
