After escaping from Stone Hammer Town, it took two days to reach the nearest town of Sweetwater in the Moonlight Plains, and he did not dare to live in the town, so he could only choose an abandoned house in the suburbs to settle down temporarily.

Alex sat in the room, his right eye beating heavily.

The process of waiting for news is exhausting.

Regarding what happened in Stonehammer Town, he had sent it to Barbis City with the Eagle Falcon that delivered the news.

The day passed, and it was time to receive a reply.

The night was dark, and looking through the dilapidated window, there was still no sign of the falcon returning.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone was coming.

Alex was ready to hide from strangers, and quickly ran to the dark corner of the cabin, reached out and lifted the lid of the basement to get inside, and then closed it.

Look through the gap between the basement lid and the ground.

However, in the darkness without lighting, it is difficult to see too many messages from the visitors.

"Alex, it's me, come out. ”

A familiar voice rang out.

Alex didn't expect that it wasn't the Eagle Falcon who sent back the news, and the other party sent someone directly.

Climbed out of the basement unsuspectingly, and only when he got closer did he see that it was the man in the red robe, the man in the red robe would always follow the man in the black robe, and rarely spoke, this time he appeared alone, and things were a little strange.

But Alex didn't have time to worry about that.

"What does it say?"

The red-robed man lowered his voice.

"If it weren't for your recklessness, the rest of the story could have been avoided altogether, but the mercy from above, let me personally come and take you to a safe place, pack up your things and go. ”

Alex nodded, turning around to pick up the baggage.

"Flutter ......"

With a muffled thud, his head snapped off his neck and fell to the ground, leaving Alex's eyes wide open.

The red-robed man shook the blade in his hand, shook off the blood stains on the blade, then took it into his arms, leaned down to look at it, and finally brushed Alex's face with his hand and closed his eyes.

Someone walked in at this time.

"Is it taken care of, put the body away, we have to send it to his grave in Momiji Town. ”

It's a man in a black robe.

The red-robed man nodded, took out the sack from his arms, and put the head and corpse into the sack.

The black-robed man had already gone out and was waiting by the carriage outside the door.

When the man in the red robe carried the sack out and threw it into the carriage, the man in the black robe patted the man in the red robe on the shoulder.

"Well done. ”

Before the words fell, the red-robed man's shoulder made a hissing sound, looking frightened.

After about three seconds, the red-robed man was left with only the outfit and clothes on his body.

The black-robed man crouched down and carefully picked up the gold sapphire badge that the red-robed man had left in his outfit to represent the level of the supernatural power owner and put it in his arms.

"Sorry, that's what it means above. ”

Then take off the gloves and throw them on the ground, lighting them along with the rest of your outfit.

After watching the costume burn out, he turned around and jumped into the carriage, and drove forward himself, leaving Sweetwater Town in Moonlight Plains.

......

The easiest way to beat the time on long trips is to chat.

After a few days together, Downing's relationship with several people continued to heat up, Nasri was essentially a guy with a great sense of humor, telling a lot of jokes along the way, Cech was taciturn, more like a father, and Hunt was like a brother, tirelessly intersecting, including how to deal with people in the General Bureau.

As for the people of the plague church in the carriage, they were always silent and silent, and along the way, they kept in mind the reminder of the head of the general bureau, and no one took the initiative to contact the people sitting in the carriage.

As Nasri finished telling a new joke, the group had already passed through the cave passage behind the Pearl Falls, and their vision suddenly opened up.

The scorched red ground and the surrounding stone walls are hot and dry, and the hot wind carries the red sand containing a lot of iron.

Hunter looked serious.

"Cheer up, enter the Shadowlands and be attacked by strange creatures at any time. ”

Downing took out the Beretta 92F from his arms, opened the safe, loaded, and ready to shoot at any time, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his face.

After a long march, the carriage in front of it suddenly stopped.

Hunter motioned for everyone to stop, and stepped forward alone, keeping a distance of more than three meters from the carriage window.

The door opened, and the people in the car got down, and the heavy black cloak was draped over their bodies, and they could only see their height, about 1.8 meters.

Tang Ning was about twenty meters away from the black-cloaked man who got out of the car at the moment, and he couldn't hear what the other party was talking about, but it could be seen from the gestures of the two that they were communicating.

A moment later Hunter came back from his horse and jumped off his horse.

"We had to walk, and riding behind the horse would cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Downing jumped off his horse, removed the water bag from his horse, and waited until Hunter signaled before proceeding.

Nasri, who was always curious as he went, asked a question for Downing.

"Chief, what's the trouble with horseback riding?"

Hunter walked at the front, frowning, sweeping the grit from his hair with his hands and slowly speaking.

"There is a creature here, which has no eyes, no nose, and cannot judge its prey by sight and smell, but only by hearing, and this creature has a keen sense of hearing, and the sound made by the hooves of horses is louder, which may attract the attention of this creature. ”

As Hunter spoke, Downing noticed that the black-robed man who was walking at the front, twenty meters away from them, had taken off his shoes.

Presumably, it was also to reduce the noise emitted.

Seeing this, Hunt motioned for several people to do the same.

Take off your shoes and walk barefoot, the ground here is gravel, relatively soft, plus the gravel has a certain temperature, not hot or cold, barefoot stepping on it is quite comfortable, just like a massage.

After walking for a short time, a lake came into view.

The lake is as vast as the ocean, and the water is blood-red, like the blood of animals, and the occasional white foam can be seen on it. Until he reached the edge of the lake, the black-robed man who was twenty meters away turned back and couldn't see his face clearly. Raise your hand.

Hunter walked up, and Tang Ning and the others were still watching from afar.

Wait until Hunter returns and explains to the crowd.

"This lake is called the Sunken Sea, and now we are on the Bloody Coast, and he said that the Sunken Sea is the only place where the creatures here replenish water, and it is easy to encounter some dangerous creatures when walking on the shore, but if you pass through the water, the possibility of encountering danger will be reduced, so then we have to go through the water to the other side of the Sunken Sea, and after reaching the other side, we can see the entrance to Salon's lair. ”

Downing looked at this body of water, which was indeed a sea in terms of area.

Nasri was a little repulsed and whispered.

"Chief, it's probably impossible for this body of water to swim through, no one can swim so far, and I don't think he can believe his words, we don't know what is in the blood-red water, maybe there is something terrible in the water, he wants us to be buried in the sea of blood, and then slip away alone. ”

Hunter frowned, obviously not quite trusting the other party, and explained after a moment of silence.

"He said he was able to find the boat and take a boat over it, not swimming. ”

Downing was curious when he heard this, there was no sign of any ship on the shore, and the red bushes around the lake were towering, but there was no way to hide a boat, not even a flat boat.

Looking up, the black-robed man standing on the shore was walking along the shore, as if he was measuring something, and after a while, the black-robed man leaned down and dug deep in the red sand on the shore with his hands.

After digging for a short time, the black-robed man dug his hand deep into the pit he had dug out, and when he got up, he already had a thick rope in his hand.

The rope shook, and the otherwise calm shore of the lake rippled, and after a moment the ripples turned into waves, lapping against the shore with a loud noise.

A moment after the loud bang sounded, the waves were monstrous, and the red waves were like rainbows, as if they were about to swallow everything on the shore.

The black runner stepped back to a safe distance and stared at the waves.

Downing noticed a behemoth emerging beneath the waves, and the behemoth rose from under the surface of the water until its full face was revealed, and the waves subsided slightly.

"Giant Ship ......"

Nasri shouted in horror.
