"What, someone died again?"

The village elder's face became even more anxious, and he subconsciously looked at Viscount Fergus before suddenly remembering and said quickly.

"This is the Viscount. Hurry and meet the Viscount."

The villagers had already discovered that a big shot was coming to the village. After all, there were dozens of cavalry guarding the outside. When they heard that he was the largest viscount in the territory, they quickly knelt down and said.

"I have met the Viscount!"

"Get up!"

Viscount Fergus gestured to the other party to stand up and asked.

"Are the bodies of the two dead children still preserved?"

"Still, still keeping it."

Knowing that the person in front of him was actually a viscount, the middle-aged man felt a little awkward when speaking.

"Take us there!"

Viscount Fergus stood up and ordered.

"Yes Yes."

The middle-aged man with messy hair quickly led the way. After walking around the village for a few times, he came to a small flat mud field in the village.

There, more than a hundred villagers in coarse clothes gathered, including men, women and old, but there were no children. They were probably afraid of scaring the children, so they all drove the children back home.

The expressions on their faces ranged from worry, fear, to numbness.

Surrounded by them were two straw mats. Because there were so many people surrounding them, they couldn't see clearly what was on the straw mats.

"Everyone, come and meet the Viscount. This is the Viscount!"

The village elder ran over and shouted to everyone.

"Lord Viscount? It's Lord Viscount!!!"

"Quick, kneel down, it's the Viscount!!"

More than a hundred villagers, regardless of the muddy ground, all fell to their knees with a look of fear on their faces.

To these ordinary villagers, a lord is already an extremely important person, and a viscount who is two levels higher than the lord is an even more powerful person.

"Everyone get up!"

Accompanied by a group of soldiers, Gray and his party came over. Viscount Fergus glanced at the more than a hundred villagers and said lightly.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount!"

The more than a hundred villagers stood up one after another, and did not dare to dust their knees, so they could only stand cautiously.

"Lord Viscount, the bodies of those two children are right there!"

The middle-aged man with messy hair blamed the two straw mats behind the villagers and said.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The soldiers stepped forward arrogantly and drove away the villagers blocking the road to the two straw mats so that the five Grays could pass.

Soon the five people walked to the two straw mats.

On two tattered straw mats lay the bodies of two children under ten years old, both boys.

Next to them were two couples looking at the boy on the straw mat with sad expressions. They were probably the parents of the two boys.

The appearance of the two boys was very miserable. Their bodies were covered in flesh and blood, and traces of sharp teeth could clearly be seen.

One of the boys was wearing brown linen clothes, which were already stained red with blood. Most of his neck had been bitten off, revealing an obvious hole. At the edge, traces of teeth could be clearly seen.

The other boy's body was also covered with bite marks from wild beasts. On the left side of his belly, half of his body was gone, and even his internal organs and intestines flowed out of his body.

"Wow… "

Seeing the corpses of these two boys, Caroline's face turned pale, and she quickly looked away and looked aside.

Gray, Bernal, and Ellis had all been on the battlefield and killed people. Although the appearance of the corpses was bloody, it was still bearable.

But Caroline was different. She had never seen a dead person, and she had never killed anyone. Suddenly she saw such a bloody corpse, and her face suddenly turned bad.

"Sister Caroline, are you okay?"

Gray noticed the change in Caroline's expression and asked worriedly.

"No, nothing's wrong, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable!"

Caroline shook her head palely, but her eyes no longer dared to look at the bodies of the two children.

Seeing that although the other party's face was slightly pale, he was indeed fine. Gray looked at the corpses of the two boys again and frowned.

The two children were less than ten years old. They were so young, but they were killed by the sharp teeth of wild beasts.

Although I have long known that this world is a cruel world, with imperfect laws and human lives as cheap as grass, I still cannot help but feel deeply that this is really a cruel world.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, the body he took possession of was related to a noble. Even if it was an illegitimate child, he was an illegitimate child of a noble after all, so he would not have to face this unknown fate all the time.

Moreover, this body also has excellent cultivation talents, especially the inexplicable "transformation" that can quickly increase strength. As long as you give him time, he can grow up and have the strength to protect himself.

Compared with these two dead little boys, he can be said to be extremely lucky.

"Farr, can you identify the tooth marks of what kind of beast these are?"

After a few glances, Viscount Fergus looked at a tall and thin soldier next to him and asked.

"Back to Sir Viscount, the one who killed these two children should have been a leopard."

The tall and thin soldier approached, looked at it carefully, and said.

Before becoming a castle soldier, he was a hunter who often dealt with all kinds of wild beasts. He was very familiar with the tooth marks of all kinds of wild beasts. The tooth marks of ordinary wild beasts could be distinguished by just one glance.

"Um."

Viscount Fergus nodded, looked back at Gray and the others and said.

"The four of you are coming with me to explore the Red Leaf Forest!"

"yes."

Gray and the four of them nodded.

Although they had indirectly seen the ferocity of wild beasts from the corpses of the two boys, they had no intention of being afraid.

They are not ordinary people. Even Ellis and Caroline have the strength of low-level blood warriors, so naturally they are not afraid of mere beasts.

There was a look of eagerness on Gray's face. The last hunting was a lot of fun. This time, it was the "big guy", and he was looking forward to it even more.

The only thing I'm worried about is the blood beast that is speculated to exist. However, with the "great master" Viscount Fergus here, even if there is a blood beast, there is no need for him to face it, as long as he doesn't act stupidly. Rushing towards the blood beast, safety is still guaranteed.

Together with Viscount Fergus, Gray, and five elite soldiers, a total of 10 people walked toward the Red Leaf Forest.

Not all the soldiers were brought along. There were too many people and too much movement. In the forest, it was easy to expose their whereabouts and be attacked by wild beasts.

Moreover, the five elite soldiers who followed were not randomly selected. The five of them either had hunting survival experience or search experience, and the soldier named Farr was among them.

Snap, snap, snap!

The ten people were either young adults or people who practiced blood magic and were at least as powerful as a low-level blood warrior. They walked very fast and arrived outside the red leaf forest in less than ten minutes.

It is not difficult to see from this that Giethoorn is too close to the Red Leaf Forest and is indeed easily attacked by wild beasts.

The red leaf forest is a red forest that spreads to an endless distance. The end of the red color cannot be seen, and it is like a burning cloud spreading across the sky.

Among them, most are trees with red leaves, and only a few are trees with green or yellow leaves.

The red leaves on these trees with red leaves are not exactly the same. Not only are they different in shape, they are also different in color, ranging from light red, dark red, and vermilion. Obviously, there are many types of red-leafed trees here.

This is probably also the origin of its red leaf forest.

Click, click, click!

When they came here, the ten people became cautious and moved forward slowly and gently.

There was no sound of conversation, only the occasional slight crisp sound of feet stepping on dry leaves.

The soldier named Farr was walking at the front. Because he had experience in hunting in the forest, Viscount Fergus asked him to lead the way and explore.

Gray walked in the center of the team. Like him, there were Bernal, Ellis, and Caroline. Next to them was Viscount Fergus. In such a position, in an emergency, Fergus Viscount Si was able to react immediately and help them.

As he followed, Gray looked around with vigilance and a hint of appreciation.

Straight trees, crooked vines, weeds growing tenaciously in the gaps between trees...

The forest is beautiful, and anyone who sees it will be amazed by its beauty.

Of course, Gray was more vigilant.

The forest is beautiful, but also dangerous. It is beautiful because it is rare, but it is also dangerous because it is rare and you don’t know what is in it.

His hand touched the hilt of the long sword hanging on his left waist. It was given to him by Viscount Fergus when he went to Viscount Oliver's territory last time. He did not take it back afterwards, knowing that he might encounter wild beasts this time. He brought it over.

Uh-huh!

Suddenly, a long figure with a faint red color quickly jumped down from a red leaf tree and attacked Caroline who was next to Gray.

It was a snake about one meter long, with a light red color all over its body. It was hidden in the red leaf tree, but it was unexpectedly unable to find it.

Click!

Gray's hand quickly reached for the long sword on the left side of his waist. He unsheathed the long sword, took two steps forward, blocked Caroline behind him, and swept the sword out.

puff!

The long sword was swept slightly below the long red snake's head. Suddenly, with a little blood spattering, a triangular snake head flew up and fell to the ground not far away.

Because of the long sword's obstruction, the snake's body lost the power to pounce forward, and fell straight down, hitting the ground full of fallen leaves. It twisted a few times, causing the fallen leaves to rattle.

Even after losing the snake's head, his body did not lose vitality immediately. Gray seemed to have read in some book in his previous life that it was the snake's spinal reaction. Whether this was the case or not, his memory was a bit fuzzy, and he was not sure.
