Chapter 208 Trap

Originally, he wanted to find Nidise, but Dark told Rodise that Nidise was not in the tavern. Rodie felt a little embarrassed to meet Nidise, so he gave up.

The three of them went back to take Miao Ge to the Duke's House - although Dark was a little strange, he also knew the relationship between Miao Ge and Duke Tulip. But seeing Miao Ge's eyes at the young man named Roddy from time to time made him feel a little strange.

In the Duke's House, Miss Nicole and Miao Ge's first meeting was not as awkward as Roddy imagined - Nicole looked calmer, and Miao Ge was also very calm.

Nicole had long expected that Miao Ge must be an excellent woman. When she really saw Miao Ge standing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.

Nicole only felt that the woman in front of her was naturally extremely beautiful, and her long satin-like hair was gently pressed against one side of her face, making her look gentle and charming. What was particularly fascinating was Miao Ge's temperament - the beautiful face was faintly tranquility, which was a kind of indifference that seemed to care about the things around her, and a kind of indifference from the heart. The first thought in her mind was: for such an outstanding person, his younger brother was abandoned so easily?

But she naturally wouldn't say such words, but she couldn't help but sigh and grabbed Miao Ge's hand, and smiled and said, "You go in with me."

Miao Ge looked at Roddy, saw Roddy nodding slightly, then smiled gently and followed Nicole.

Obviously, after seeing the two women leave, Roddy breathed a long sigh. Dan Yuewu's expression was a bit complicated. She didn't say anything from beginning to end, but just bit her lips and gently stepped on her toes.

During the remaining time, the remaining three people prepared some tools. Under the guidance of two jungle experts, Dake and Danyuewu, the three of them found what they needed and then rode out of the city.

The army had already been blocked by the several large and small roads leading to the hunting ground, and Roddy led the two of them naturally and unobstructed. The guards were a small military camp outside the hunting ground, where 300 royal guards were stationed. Roddy ordered them to stand by outside, and he and Dak Danyuewu rode into the hunting ground...

The hunting ground at night was quiet. After all, it was a family hunting ground that had been operated for a century. The paths mined manually in the forest were simple, but they could barely allow horses to gallop. However, after the three of them entered the forest, they slowed down their horses' hooves.

The horse's hooves trampled on the grass and the land, making a rustling sound. Roddy rode his horse in front, and Dark and Danyuewu danced side by side, forming a triangle ridge. The three of them were holding weapons and were on guard at any time.

From time to time, animals such as hares who came out to feed at night were frightened and rushed out of the roadside. Dak and Danyuewu looked around carefully. As they got closer and closer to the lake in the middle of the forest, Dak and Danyuewu's expressions gradually became solemn.

The journey was calm and we arrived at the central lake. The remains of yesterday were still there, the damaged temporary camp, the broken trees beside it, and the huge body of the monster that was beaten to death by Roddy.

Dark behind him suddenly whispered: "Wait!"

Roddy immediately grabbed the reins and looked back. Dark rode on the horse, but closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something, and then sniffed violently twice with his nose.

His expression became more and more serious. He turned over and jumped off the horse. He grabbed a bag that was ready with one hand and slowly walked into the corpse of the huge monster.

Roddy and Dan Yuewu also dismounted one after another, tied the horse's reins to the tree beside him, and followed Dark over.

Dark suddenly rushed up a tree, squatted on the trunk, reached out to touch the branches, and sniffed under his nose. He jumped out of the tree, walked into the monster's body and looked around, and carefully searched the surrounding ground.

The cold wind at night was blowing, and Dake's face was solemn, as if he had noticed something was wrong. Dan Yuewu's eyes swept around and her brows also frowned.

Roddy said in a deep voice: "Have you discovered something?"

Dake took a deep breath and turned around and said, "It's a bit strange..." He glanced at Dan Yuewu and said, "Did you find it?"

Dan Yuewu nodded and said slowly: "The trees here are a bit strange... Have you noticed that all the trees near the lake look very tall and stout, and grow very well! This is very strange... According to common sense, in the jungle, near the water source, there are usually more animals! The plants and trees here should be often trampled by animals, but have you seen... I just looked around and there were few animal footprints!"

Roddy thought for a while and said, "It seems that yes, we came in to hunt yesterday and only caught some prey on the periphery of the forest. The more we walked inside, we rarely saw any prey. The last few wild boars we caught were met on the periphery, and finally we drove them to the vicinity before killing them. It seems that there are really few animals on the lakeside here."

Dake nodded and said, "This is a bit strange... Generally speaking, animals appear in places close to water sources unless... animals like to divide territory, especially for some large beasts. Unless there are beasts moving around the lake, they are marked as their own territory, and no other animals are allowed to get close to..."

Roddy shook his head: "Impossible... Although this is a forest, it is a family hunting ground after all. At most, there are some slightly larger things, wild boars, or something. No matter how powerful the beasts are, there will be no more. This is a place for hunting for the nobles. If you get some beasts, you may hurt people."

Dan Yuewu suddenly said, "Listen!"

"Hmm?" Roddy was stunned for a moment: "Is there any sound?"

Dan Yuewu glanced at Dake and whispered: "It's just that there is no sound! That's strange!!"

Dark whispered: "That's right! Such a big wood, there is no sound of birds singing..." He shook his head: "I have seen it on several trees just now. There is no bird's nest, and there is no footprint..."

After the two said this, Roddy was a little aware of it - when he entered the southern mountainous area, even in the mountains and forests at night, he recalled that when he came to hunt during the day, except for hearing the birds' screams outside the forest, after approaching the lake, there was really no sound around except the movements made by people - he had never heard the birds' screams.

"Roddy... Did anyone among you jumped into the tree to check it out yesterday?" Dark suddenly asked.

"No...what happened?"

Dake's face was gloomy: "There are footprints on the branches! That's the marks of people stepping on them!"

Roddy changed color slightly and frowned, "Did someone step on it?"

Dark sighed and whispered: "I just saw it. The trace is a bit strange... Although I'm not sure, I suspect... it may be those vampires!"

After saying this, Dan Yuewu couldn't help but chill and subconsciously leaned against Roddy. Roddy said in a deep voice: "Vampire? Are you sure?"

Dark shook his head: "Not sure... the smell is very vague. I guess even if it is a vampire, it is the lowest-level vampire. But only the little vampire bats will fly around and land on the branches."

Roddy frowned - things actually involved those blood clans.

Dake slowly walked to the two of them and whispered: "There are no birds here, so there must be some special reason. I'm afraid there is probably something strange here."

He thought for a while and said, "Did you really find nothing during the day?"

Roddy shook her head: "No."

Dan Yuewu thought for a while and said, "Will there be something that just appears at night? And after all, this hunting ground has been abandoned for a long time, and the Tulip family never come in on weekdays. There were so many people during the day yesterday, and even if there were anything, they would not dare to get close to it."

"You can try!" Dark suddenly opened his mouth and smiled.

Dak walked over, untied the reins of the horses that the three of them rode, and then whipped two whips hard on the butts of the two horses. The two horses were in pain and ran away. Seeing that the direction was to run out of the woods, Dak looked calm and led his horse over, removed the saddle and other things, and drove the horse to the woods by the lake.

After patting the horse's neck gently, Dark sighed in a low voice: "Although it's a little cruel, I have to be sorry for you."

He suddenly pulled out his sword and cut out two deep bone-deep wounds on the horse's front hooves with one knife! The horse immediately let out a sad neigh, struggled violently and fell to the ground with a bang.

Dark sighed, turned around and walked back. He pulled Roddy and Danyuewu back to the back of the tree.

The three of them looked at the injured horse kneeling on the ground and struggled. Their hind legs were struggling from time to time, as if they were trying to stand up, and a shrill sadness came out of their mouths, and the blood from the wound had already flowed to the ground.

Dan Yuewu seemed to feel a little reluctant on her face, and she couldn't help but gently pull the corner of Roddy's clothes. However, Roddy's face was calm - I don't know how many people on the battlefield have killed! I just felt Dan Yuewu's emotions, Roddy smiled at her and patted her shoulder gently.

Dak took out a black bottle, poured out some strange potions from it, and carefully sprayed some on his pants. Dan Yuewu looked at Roddy's surprised expression and smiled, "That's for hunting... The nose of a beast is much stronger than that of a human. He is to hide the smell on his body so that the prey will not notice it!" Speaking of this, Dan Yuewu also took out a bottle from his arms and smiled, "This is used by our Silver Moon Hunter, for you."

Roddy followed suit and gently sprayed the liquid in the bottle on her body - the liquid seemed to have a faint smell of grass.

"Is it useful for us to wait like this?" Roddy couldn't help frowning.

Dark shook his head: "I don't know... I hope this bloody smell can attract things." After thinking about it, Dark whispered: "It's not good for us to stand here, so wait in the tree."

The three of them found a big tree and jumped up, but Dan Yuewu stood with Roddy intentionally or unintentionally, and stood on the trunk calmly.

Dake had already taken off the longbow behind him, and he was also twisting a sharp arrow in his hand, looking at the surroundings.

Time gradually passed, and the injured horse was still struggling on the ground. Because the wound on the front leg was too severe, he could not stand up, and the sad and neighing gradually stopped, but it was not a helpless breath that ejaculated from his nostrils. It seemed that he had gradually lost some strength.

Roddy felt a little anxious, but when he saw Dark's face was as calm as usual, even Dan Yuewu next to him was very calm. He couldn't help but smile, thinking that they were indeed more capable than him in this kind of thing.

By the second half of the night, the horse was gradually stopped moving. It was obviously too blood-lost and was already dying. Roddy stopped talking at Dark's instructions. He just waited quietly.

Finally, I suddenly saw Dake waved his hand gently... There was a movement! Looking in the direction of Dake's finger, there was indeed a slight rustling sound in the woods by the lake in the distance... The sound was very low, almost covered by the wind. But Roddy's eyes were sharp, and he still saw a black shadow in the bushes at first glance, as if he was quietly waiting for something, and there were three green things like ghost fire flashing...

Dak made a gesture of banning voice, and Roddy nodded, but couldn't help but clench his fists gradually. Danyuewu leaned against Roddy's side with her waist, and her body leaned on Roddy's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was a little nervous.

I saw a rustling sound finally came from the bushes, and then the grass separated from both sides, and a dark shadow slowly moved out...

Although the distance was relatively far and it was night, Roddy still saw it clearly. It was something like a wolf!

The reason why it is said to be "similar" is because the appearance of that thing looks a bit like a wolf, but there are many differences: its size seems to be larger than the strongest wolf Roddy has ever seen, its black fur is black and shiny, its ears are pointed and upright... Wait, its eyes!

Roddy finally understood what the green ghost fire-like thing I just saw was - that was its eyes.

It actually has three eyes! In addition to its normal eyes, there is one more eye in the center of its forehead! At night, the three eyes emitted a scary green light.

It walked out of the bushes carefully, and its steps were very slow and its body was low. What was even more surprising was that behind it was two big broom-like tails!

Every time I take a step, the two tails behind me will gently sweep them to eliminate the footprints left on the ground!
