Kocal village has become a dead village!
This heavy news suddenly began to spread widely in Lanqiu City, and soon reached Niyingtel's ears.
According to some mercenaries who often go in and out of the Greenland forest, the Kocal village near the edge of the forest turned into a dead village overnight, and all the villagers disappeared! What is surprising is that all the items in the village are well preserved, food, clothing and housing, including the most cherished animal furs by the villagers, and rare treasures from the mountains and forests are all placed in place, but there are no living people.
From the frisky villagers and hunters to the hounds, cattle and sheep kept in captivity by every household, as long as they were living things, they all disappeared, and there were no clues or traces of their departure.
The few mercenaries who passed by were scared out of their wits. They kept calling Xiemen, ran back to Lanqiu City, and reported the matter to the City Lord's Mansion.
So all kinds of rumors in a day made Lanqiu City shaky!
Some said that some monster ran out of the forest, some said it was infected with some kind of plague, and some rumors were even more sinister, saying that there were some terrible evil people haunting there...
Just when the entire Lanqiu City was panicking, Niyingte had already invited those mercenaries into the camp, and had a detailed and comprehensive understanding of all the details.
Soon, on that night, these more than a hundred demon hunter knights suddenly left Lanqiu City, and hurried towards the Kocal village where the mysterious disappearance happened.
The mountain road of more than forty miles is nothing to the witcher knights who are on the go all the year round. Besides, all the elites of the witcher knights from all over the country came here, so they were not riding ordinary war horses. It is a special kind of magic horse that has been specially domesticated.
This kind of magic horse is far taller, more powerful, and stronger than ordinary war horses, and it also has fangs and sharp teeth like jungle beasts. What's even more frightening is that a special scale similar to scale armor has grown on their bodies, which can resist the attack of sharp objects.
Demon hunter knights are rare opponents in this plane, and the magic horse also plays a big role in it.
But this kind of magic horse can only be obtained by the elite among the demon hunter knights, so it is rare to see it in a small place like Blue Hill City.
It was relying on the beast-like dexterity of the magic horse and its sharp claws that were good at leaping and climbing, that the entire Demon Hunter Knights were able to rush to the village of Kocal on the mountainside so quickly.
When they arrived here, it was almost dawn, and a ray of white light had already appeared in the distant sky.
But walking in the empty, dark village, it just gave people a creepy feeling.
Most of the witcher knights stayed outside the village, and those who rode into the village with Niint were all the elite of the advanced law-breaker knights. In addition to being proficient in various knight combat skills, these people also have all-rounders with special means.
Dozens of torches the size of an arm were planted all over the village!
A few witcher knights who were good at searching and tracking immediately launched the most rigorous search and inspection of Kocal Village. Soon, some hidden clues emerged.
A large number of strange insect sloughs and some broken insect limbs were searched out, and even in a thatched cottage, a large amount of torn clothes and some human remains were found.
Judging from all these signs, Kocal Village was attacked suddenly the night before.
The direction of the attackers' coming and going vaguely pointed to the northwest of the adjacent Greenland forest. As for the attackers, they were likely to be some kind of terrifying insect-like monsters.
However, when the elites of the Knights gathered together to discuss how to track down this strange monster, the demon hunter knights who stayed outside the village suddenly erupted in terrifying shouts.
"Bugs... bugs..."
"It's a bug..."
"Everyone be careful..."
The noisy sound caused Niyingte, who was leading the team, to change his face. He turned over and jumped onto the magic horse, and rushed out of the small mountain village after applauding the horse.
The witcher knights who stayed outside the village were in a panic at this moment. Under the reflection of many torches, some knights near the forest kept stomping their feet, as if they were fighting with something. And beside them, three demon hunter knights had fallen to the ground, motionless.
As soon as Niyingt rushed forward on the magic horse, he was shocked by the terrifying scene in front of him.
Scorpions, a large number of scorpions, a large number of scorpions, scorpions everywhere...
The bodies of the three demon hunter knights who fell on the ground were already covered with creeping and terrifying black scorpions, and the weird noises of eating armor and bones could be heard endlessly. And the five witcher knights who were trapped in the swarm were struggling, and soon two were stabbed by the black tail needles of the scorpions, and then fell down staggeringly.
As for the remaining three, they caught the rope thrown by their companions and were lucky enough to be dragged out of the swarm.
"Where did these bugs come from?" Niint asked loudly.
"In the forest! They came out of the forest and attacked us while we were resting from our horses..." An elite knight who stayed behind replied loudly.
"Set fire... burn them with fire..."
Following Niint's loud cry, torches were thrown into the swarm like raindrops, and some witcher knights even demolished several nearby Orion huts, throwing the thatch and old wooden boards into the sea of flames . Accompanied by the pungent smell of crackling roasted meat fat and protein, the raging insect swarm finally got a little scared, and rushed back to the forest like a tide.
"My lord, look!" a witcher knight suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Following the direction his arm was pointing at, with the help of the ray of morning light at dawn, Niint saw a strange black figure in the depths of the forest where the insect swarm disappeared.
This is a strange figure wrapped in a black cloth robe, tall and tall, with a pair of green eyes silently watching here under the shadow of the hood.
"Evil!" Niint said bitterly every word.
There was no need for him to remind, more than a dozen rune bows had already been pulled into full circles. Clang, clang... A series of bowstrings exploded, and more than a dozen flaming arrows filled with bright red halos pierced the dark night sky, turning the forest where the black robe stood into a burning wheat field.
And the strange figure in the black robe only flickered on the edge of the sea of fire, and then disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"Pursuit!" Niyingt waved his hand vigorously, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Edward, you lead a large army to slow down, and I will take a few people to stop him first!"
After saying that, Niyingt led seven or eight companions to urge the magic horse, and disappeared into the dark forest in an instant.
The red sun in the distant sky has jumped half of his body, and the darkness in the mountains and forests is receding step by step.
The faint mist was dispelled by the rising sun, bringing a damp air to the forest.
That strange figure kept flickering in the depths of the distant forest, and Niyingt's flaming arrows with his bow were dodged several times by him vigilantly, but he never slowed down his speed by a single bit.
The devil horses are like terrifying ogres that shuttle through the forest, climbing rocks and walls, and crossing streams and ravines. A three-foot-high small hill, the magic horse leaped vertically, and with a little force from its sharp feet, it could climb over it. No matter how rough and steep the mountain road is, the magic horse can fly over it like walking on flat ground!
These well-trained demon hunter knights leaned slightly, crawled on the back of the magic horse, followed its leaps and bounds, galloped quickly in the forest full of vines, bushes, and weeds half the height of a man, closely He followed closely the strange figure that flickered.
This is not to blame for the arrogance and fearlessness of the demon hunter knights, but their fighting style and habits have been like this for a long time.
In the Demon Hunting Continent, the number of evildoers is rare, and they are always the target of being hunted down and attacked. It is difficult to gather a large enough force. Therefore, as long as an evil person is found, the witcher knights will hunt him down to death, and they will rarely consider such silly questions as whether the other party has an ambush or not.
However, they didn't know that when they galloped quickly between the dense forests, there were strange figures at the tail of the team, approaching quickly from the forest tops.
This is a group of weird vampire bats.
They have wide bat wings and flexible movements, and they glide nimbly among the tall and airtight old trees, approaching the team of demon hunter knights silently.
The one remaining at the end of the team was a veteran demon hunter knight. The magic horse he drove was a little too old, so it was no longer as good as those companions in terms of physical fitness and explosive power. Half a quarter of an hour of galloping on horseback put him and his companion in front of him at a distance of more than ten meters.
With the speed of the magic horse, this distance can't be called falling behind at all. But even so, this still attracted an unexpected and terrible attack for him.
Although he didn't hear any sound, the danger vigilance honed over the years still made him aware of something wrong behind him.
He stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword vigilantly, leaned slightly, and turned his head half sideways to look around.
There was no movement in the dark forest, and there was no enemy in sight.
Could it be that the warning sign that crossed my mind just now was my own paranoia
While hesitating, out of the corner of his eyes, he sensed something wrong on the top of his head.
The enemy is up there!
It's a pity that he couldn't allow him to change anything. A vampire bat gliding in front of him suddenly rolled down, and its hairy and thin body turned into a young man with blood eyes and sharp claws in half a second.
The young man who came back quickly knocked the witcher knight off the horse, and the two started fighting and biting frantically while they were still in the air. Before they landed, more vampire bats swooped down, quickly transformed into vampires, and threw themselves on the Demon Hunter Knight regardless of his struggling.
In just a dozen fingers, under the frantic siege of five or six vampires, the witcher knight was drained of blood and died. And at this time, the nearest demon hunter knight was running fast and vaguely heard the sound of frantic flapping and biting behind him. When he turned his head, what he saw in horror was a sharp mouth with fangs that grew rapidly.
