The moon is dark and the wind is high

Torrential winds and rains descended on a small hidden village.

Click!

Shocking white lightning tore through the night, and the bright light illuminated the small village under the rainy night.

Hundreds of simple wooden huts made of wooden stakes and thatch, surrounded by a large crooked neck tree that grows on the edge of a well, are compact and staggered.

Bang!

The sound of thunder exploded, and the whole village seemed to tremble.

Under such thunder, even the sleeping people have been awakened, one by one, the doors and windows have been pushed open one after another, the black eyes, mixed with the uneasy look, there is awe of nature, and there are also doubts caused by the thunderous movements covered by the thunder.

"Do you hear that?"

"Something seems to be approaching the village. ”

"Could it be a beast?"

"On such a thunderstorm night, wild beasts rarely come out. ”

“...... It's like cavalry!"

"Be careful! There are cavalry approaching the village. ”

A loud roar resounded through the village, and a burly seven-foot man walked out of the wooden house closest to the crooked neck tree with a solemn gaze:

"The sound of horses' hooves is directed at our village, the target of this group of cavalry is our village, brothers, take up your weapons, women and children are in the cellar and hidden!"

Rumble!

The whole village was boiling at once, and on a rainy night, the men turned and took out their hunting forks and bows and arrows from their houses, and at the same time sent the pale-faced women and children into the cellars of their respective houses.

"Why would the cavalry attack our village?"

"Since the village chief said so, there must be a reason for him, you should hide it quickly, and don't make a noise no matter what happens. ”

The people of the village were fierce, and the men completed the orders of the village chief in the shortest possible time, holding hunting forks, bows and arrows, and braving the wind and rain to come to the entrance of the village one after another.

Just as all the men in the village had gathered at the entrance of the village, a boy who looked to be fifteen years old at most ran wildly through the muddy water with the brim of his hat and his dagger in hand.

The village chief Liuya is the most powerful man in the village, and when he looked back and saw this thin young man, he frowned, not angry and arrogant:

"Meteor, what are you doing!"

"I'm a man, and I'm going to stand up and protect the village. ”

Under the brim of the hat, the young man's delicate face is revealed, but the eyebrows are very resolute.

Someone in the crowd at the entrance of the village laughed and scolded:

"Fart, didn't you hear the village chief, the woman and the child had to stay in the cellar......"

"I'm not a child. ”

Meteor puffs out his chest:

"Hmph! I'll be sixteen soon. ”

"No sixteen is not a man, hurry up and go back. ”

Liuya still didn't forget to listen to the movement outside the village while speaking, and the sound of horses' hooves approached and dispersed, which made him feel strongly uneasy in his heart, and after speaking, he no longer cared about Gu Meteor, gritted his teeth and said:

"The cavalry has surrounded the village, everyone is prepared for the worst, if it is a strong man passing by, take out the food and coins of the house, if it is for 'that thing', everyone, prepare to fight to the death......"

When the men of the village heard the vague mention of 'that thing' by the village chief, everyone's breathing became rapid and heavy, and their eyes were murderous.

That thing is the foundation of the village in this poor mountain and bad water, and it is a treasure left by the ancestors to protect everyone, and it must not be lost.

At this moment, the sound of wooden houses collapsing suddenly sounded from all sides of the village, and one by one, heavily armed cavalrymen wearing black metal scale armor and masks broke into the village like devils in the most violent and ferocious manner:

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

Click!

Under the lightning, the meteor was horrified to see that a group of cavalry instantly collapsed the wooden house made of thick wooden stakes, and the eyes of the eagle falcon sniffed like a dog to open the cellar hidden under the wooden house, and fired crossbow arrows into it, and in an instant, many cellars in the village let out screams of horror and despair.

Woman, child......

The men of the village were immediately enraged, and one by one they rushed into the village like crazy, and even the shouts of the village chief were useless.

The men in the village are all experienced hunters, but the moment they actually make a move, they immediately show their abilities that are completely different from ordinary hunters!

Right!

Ability!!

The first hunter to pounce out, his body trembled, and the person suddenly flipped three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, and when he landed, his clothes were burst, and two claws full of black hair fell to the ground, grabbing a half-foot-deep ravine, and he jumped seven or eight meters, like a human wolf, and his momentum was amazing.

The other two hunters, after throwing their hunting forks with all their might, fell into their hands, the bowstrings vibrating, and the arrows tore through the air in a shocking way, shattering raindrops and knocking several masked knights out.

But......

That's all.

In the face of the Orions who burst out with amazing combat power, the masked knight who was knocked out actually made a counterattack in the air, shooting out one by one with crossbow arrows, meteors chasing the moon, and a strange smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Rumble!

The first to pounce out of the human wolf Orion was suddenly hit by two crossbow arrows in the chest, the dazzling fire exploded on all sides, and the powerful explosive air wave disintegrated the castration of the human wolf Orion, not to mention, the latter was directly wrapped in flames and flew out upside down, and when it landed, it was already a mass of charcoal, and there was no life at all.

Boom!

As the first bolt exploded, more and more hunters trying to save the village were engulfed in flames and fell on the attack.

The counterattack of the village hunters was interrupted in an instant.

"Magic crossbow bolts!"

"Mask Knight!"

The village chief gritted his teeth;

The men in the village also had a very bad feeling.

Enemy......

It's so powerful!

The other party obviously came prepared.

Meteor's face turned pale.

Seeing that the hunters who made fun of themselves on weekdays were burned to char one by one by the bursting crossbow arrows, and hearing the screams in the village cellar one after another, the short sword in his hand did not know when it fell into the muddy puddle, and tears, mixed with the rain, washed away the delicate face without the slightest blood.

"Why?"

"Why?!"

Meteor just wants to see all this just a dream, a nightmare that will soon wake up.

"Shooting Star!"

As if he had made a very difficult decision, the village chief Liuya pulled off the wood carving ornament on his chest, stuffed it into the hand of the young man wearing a big straw hat, and whispered under the latter's shocked and frightened gaze:

"I'll give you a task, and if it's a man, keep it safe, don't lose it at any time, remember!"

“......”

As Meteor's eyes gradually regained their senses, his dilated pupils saw a pair of huge black wings spread out from behind the village chief, and the sharp eagle claws passed over the village chief and landed accurately on his shoulders.

A huge black eagle, grabbing a meteor, soared into the sky.

"Someone's going to run!"

In the village, a team of about twenty masked knights gathered and rushed towards the men at the entrance of the village, and happened to see a huge black eagle grabbing a teenager and trying to leave, the masked knight led by him quickly raised the magic crossbow in his hand, and the crosshair locked on the black shadow and pulled the trigger.

However, at the moment when the masked knight pulled the trigger, a giant bear appeared in front of the crossbow arrow, and with a bang, half of the giant bear's body wrapped in flames fell to the entrance of the village, but the black giant eagle disappeared.

"Shh

"Ran one. ”

Beneath the mask was a frosty killing intent, and the other party was obviously very dissatisfied with the sacrifice of the village hunters to disrupt their hunting operations.

"Get serious!"

"Run away with any of them, and the adults will kill us all. ”

With a loud roar, dozens of masked knights outflanked the destroyed wooden houses from the left and right sides of the village, and after a round of crossbow arrows, they grabbed two jet-black semicircular scimitars from the sides of their legs.

When the meteor was carried into the air by the black giant eagle, he realized what was going on, struggled hard, and tears couldn't stop flowing:

"Let go!"

"You let me go back!"

The continuous explosions and firelight were particularly dazzling in the rainy night, and the meteor turned its head in horror and struggled more violently, but it could not escape the clamp of the black giant eagle.

"Village Chief!!"

"Wicked Uncle ......"

"They are all dead...... All dead...... Woohoo......"

"Lay me down and save them...... There must be someone alive!"

The black giant eagle ignored it, but increased the frequency of flapping its wings, and the wind and rain suddenly became more bitter, the wind blew in its face, and the meteor was filled with rain as soon as it opened its mouth, and its body floated high, and began to overlook the earth in a flying posture.

From a distance, it can be vaguely seen that the war at the entrance of the village is nearing its end, and hundreds of masked knights are forming a circle near the crooked neck tree, and the atmosphere is very eerie.

What are they doing?

It wasn't until this moment that Meteor realized in horror that the group of mysterious masked knights who had raided and destroyed the village didn't seem to be coming for money and food, but for ...... In the center of the village is a crooked-necked tree that is worshipped as a god by all the villagers.

But......

Why?!

"Ahh

At this moment, the meteor only felt that his shoulders were loosened, and his body quickly planted downward, and the black giant eagle disappeared without a trace at some point, and fell straight to the ground in terror.

......

In the village, hundreds of masked knights surrounded the Crooked Neck Tree, which seemed to be calm, but in fact, the ground had drawn a mysterious and obscure blood-red array, even if the storm continued, it was blocked by an invisible force, unviolated, and the shimmering light on the Crooked Neck Tree seemed to be trapped by the power of the array, echoing with the thunder of the sky from time to time, roaring and roaring.

In the center of the array, a knight wearing a silver fanged mask stood with his hands in his hands, holding a horsewhip in one hand, like a cold sculpture, not moving in the rain.

"Your Excellency!"

The masked knight at the entrance of the village ended the final battle, dragged the corpse behind the silver fanged masked knight, and knelt on one knee:

"This man is the strongest man in the village, and we took it after we wounded a few brothers. ”

"Hmm. ”

The Silver Fanged Mask Knight turned, his silver eyes swept over the face of the stray arrow, and fell to it, "What about the fish that slipped through the net that was taken away by the giant eagle he summoned?"

"As soon as the host died, the giant eagle immediately dissipated, and the fish that slipped through the net was dead or alive, but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, his subordinates had sent thirteen to search for him, and he must be brought back his body. ”

"Hmm. ”

The Silver Fanged Mask Knight nodded, and his gaze fell back to the crooked neck tree: "Now that the sacrifice has been prepared, the ceremony ...... Let's go. ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of masked knights retreated a hundred meters;

Hundreds of corpses in the village were piled together, and blood covered the entire village in an instant;

Soaked in the abundant blood water, the array was full of light, the blood light was prosperous, and the rainbow light cracked into the sky, gradually condensing into a demon with two horns dozens of feet high.

The moment the latter's body was condensed, he couldn't wait to lean over and grab the crooked neck tree.

"No!!"

A golden humanoid phantom was forcibly torn out of the crooked neck tree by the demon, and with a desperate and unwilling roar, it was stuffed into the mouth of the blood-colored demon and chewed on.

The gods who sheltered the village were also powerless to resist the enemy.

Boom Boom ......

The Silver-Fanged Mask Knight's gaze was cold.

The group did not notice that in the nearby well, a wisp of the roots of a tree with crooked necks quietly squeezed out of the crack in the stone, and a wisp of golden mangs sank into the underground river in horror through the well.
