The night is as thick as ink that cannot be melted.
Tonight is also a moonless night, and the stars have disappeared. The overcast clouds have brought an extremely gloomy atmosphere, as if it is about to rain, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers.
The sea and the sky are extremely deep, as if they have merged into a whole in the night, and it is impossible to tell where the boundary between the sea and the sky is.
Perhaps due to coincidence, a very luxurious cruise ship is quietly moored at sea. The bright lights are magnificent, illuminating a large area of the surrounding sea water, and also reflecting the facilities and luxury on the ship in the water. The sound of people
There was a lot of excitement and excitement.
People coming and going on the ship are all well-dressed and upper-class people who exude an elite atmosphere. Of course, there are also people who are full of fat and potbellied.
People come and go, have cups and cups, talk and laugh, seemingly enthusiastic, and friendships are sincere and long-lasting, but in fact, the word "interest" is inseparable from the words, but I won't say it too straightforwardly.
And often the negotiations are not concluded immediately, and we always need to test each other again and again...
Of course——
The need to go around in circles like this shows that this is not a legal and reasonable power-for-money transaction, but this is also the purpose of this cruise ship here.
"...Then it's settled, let's drink to our friendship."
On the top observation deck, the owner of the cruise ship was sitting on a lounge chair, elegantly raising the red wine in his hand, and gently clinking glasses with an old man next to him.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some consensus.
The atmosphere was very pleasant, indicating that the result of their conversation was quite good.
When the ladies and other elites who were originally scattered around saw this, they also knew that this was a signal that the big bosses' conversation had come to an end. They all looked at each other, walked over tacitly, and behaved very naturally.
Drinking glasses, chatting, and toasting made the atmosphere on the originally relatively quiet observation deck become warm again.
But at this moment, a cold wind blew by.
The unusual cold feeling is different from the normal sea breeze. It is a terrible cold feeling that is bone-chilling. The moment the wind blows, the contrast between the front and back is huge, as if a person is sleeping soundly in a warm bed, and the sudden quilt is
The feeling of stripping off your clothes and throwing them into an ice cellar.
"..."
"..."
The sudden silence was as if someone had pressed the pause button. The whole ship was lively and cheerful, as if the cruise ship that had stayed up all night had suddenly stopped all movement.
Everyone on it, including guests, service staff, and security forces, stood frozen in place like a duck that was suddenly strangled by the neck, maintaining their original movements until several seconds passed.
They woke up one after another as if they were dreaming.
With a coaxing sound, the entire ship erupted into an astonishing sound. No one screamed or shouted out of control, but in the extreme silence, they suddenly reacted simultaneously, and the sounds that broke out overlapped, so
There will be this kind of noise phenomenon.
Some people were shivering in surprise, some people hurriedly put on the coats they had taken off not long ago due to the heat, and some people wondered where the cold wave came from and whether the weather was going to change...
But there was no weather forecast before, and it shouldn't have come so suddenly, quickly and urgently. The sea breeze was just right one moment, and the sea was calm at night, but why did it suddenly become so freezing cold the next moment, like
Is it able to freeze people directly?
"Haha... the wind is a bit cold..."
The old man who was so graceful just now didn't look good. His livid face didn't seem to catch his breath. He reached out for help to put on his coat and said this in a stiff tone to relieve the awkward atmosphere. After all,
Just now, I was chatting and laughing elegantly and calmly, but in the blink of an eye, I was trembling in front of the other person. It was really embarrassing.
It is impossible for people not to accept old age. Even those young and middle-aged people cannot bear the cold wind. Naturally, he almost lost half of his life at his age...
But that's not all.
The wind is getting stronger and more urgent, and the cold feeling spreads on the sea, causing people to change their colors.
In the restless night, the air is filled with an atmosphere of fear. A few pets on the ship are roaring restlessly. There is inevitably some kind of ominous premonition spreading in people's hearts. It has nothing to do with anything else. This is just a...
This is a beastly instinct related to danger that humans have had since ancient times.
Some people were eager to go back to their rooms to warm up, while others discovered an extremely terrifying problem with sharp eyes, and screamed like crazy.
"What's going on..."
"It's so cold, is it going to snow..."
"Look! Look at the sea over there! Look! It's actually frozen!"
Originally, in this situation, they would never be so rude, whether they were people with status, or people who got on the ship due to some reasons, whether they were maintaining their status or worried about leaving behind for the big bosses.
Even if you have a bad impression, you have to maintain the most basic restraint in public.
But now it's different, because they saw extremely terrible things!
People near the guardrail looked in the direction of the shouting people's fingers, and their pupils suddenly tightened!!
In the distance that the ship's searchlight can illuminate, a layer of frost is spreading on the sea surface at a speed visible to the naked eye. From there to this side, it is as amazing and terrifying as the special effects in a disaster movie. As the sea surface freezes, the frost
The special effects are spreading towards this side, and the cold feeling in the air is becoming more and more terrifying.
"Quick! Go back to the room!" Someone finally woke up in time and shouted loudly.
"Over there! What's over there!" A very sexy lady in a red dress shrank her pupils to the size of needle tips and exclaimed. She stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly at the sky over there, where the unparalleled cold current was spreading.
In the direction of the source, people looked up one after another.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
They saw an incredible sight.
A group of knights composed of ghosts, wearing rusty armor, holding lightning-shaped swords in their hands, riding skeleton horses across the sky in groups.
The noise is getting louder and louder.
As the nightmarish cavalry got closer and closer, the stunned people could see more and more clearly, including the horns on the former's helmet, as well as the skull-like face behind the face shield. The skeleton-like cavalry rode on the skeleton-like cavalry.
On the horse, light blue flames burned in the ethereal eye sockets.
"..."
"..."
The brief silence was finally followed by the first scream, breaking the silence on the cruise ship.
The nightmarish wild hunters also noticed the cruise ship appearing on the road ahead. They suddenly turned around and swooped down towards the sea below, like eagles trying to catch rabbits!
"Help!"
"Don't! Don't——!!"
The well-dressed people on the cruise ship could no longer care about their grace and ran in panic on the deck, screaming for their lives.
The scene was a messy and chaotic scene.
I don’t know how much time has passed. On the cruise ship that had become quiet early, some closed doors were carefully opened a crack, and the eyes inside looked outside in fear.
There were no horrific signs of massacre with blood all over the ground, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and broken limbs everywhere. There were only signs that some tables, chairs, meals, and red wine had been spilled, and they were all frozen in a layer of frost.
A bone-chilling chill emanated from it.
Of course, some people who had no time to run away disappeared...
"Wild Hunt! It's the Wild Hunt..."
"I've heard that anyone who stands in the way of the Wild Hunt will be taken away!"
"Mr. Victor and the others must be like this too..."
"Call the police! Hurry!"
It seemed that the people who were surviving the disaster were trembling with fear and no longer had any upper-class demeanor. They checked the people on the ship and found that a small number of people, mainly the owners of the cruise ship, seemed to be missing. According to some people, it seemed that they were missing.
In the panic, they did not run away, but were taken away directly by the ghostly cavalry.
This is a European region, and the Wild Hunt is a very important element in the myths and legends of various European countries.
The image of this concept in culture is very similar. Groups of phantoms are fully armed in the form of hunters or armies, riding horses and hounds to chase their prey crazily across the sky or the earth... For those who are unfortunate enough to appear on the wild hunting route.
People or people chasing the Wild Hunt are usually believed to be taken away by the Wild Hunt and eventually taken to the underworld.
Such highly overlapping situations made them understand it almost instantly, and they all excitedly made the same guess.
Although this kind of speculation is a mistake, it is rare that there is no mistake in the result - what just appeared is indeed the Wild Hunt, and the missing people were indeed captured directly by the Wild Hunt. Those crazy people
The ghosts hunt their targets and continue their traditions.
It is necessary to kidnap a few weak natives and interrogate some intelligence about the current world to help hunt down the real target, or to prepare for future plane conquest wars.
Shivering from the cold, the group of people were excited and scared and called the police uneasily. The excitement was because their past world view was impacted and they saw another side of the world. The fear was because they were afraid that the threat was still there.
At the end, the safety of myself and others is still not guaranteed.
The people on the cruise ship were either well-known or wealthy. Even if they lost control of their emotions and called the police for seemingly absurd reasons, they still had great appeal.
And precisely because of this, certain things spread further...
Many people began to wonder whether there is an unknown side to this world.
…………
……
In fact.
The Wild Hunt, which made the unplanned witnesses tremble and fear, had already crossed the sky and rushed into the airspace of an island further out in the sea shortly after leaving the cruise ship.
Then——
The momentum came fiercely, and the group was naturally destroyed.
"This...this..."
Xili stood on the top of the mountain and was speechless. She was holding the silver sword extremely nervously, her palms were full of sweat. Her continuous escape not only made her homeless, but also made the psychological shadow left by the Wild Hunt in her heart larger and larger.
It's getting more and more serious, like the deepest nightmare that you don't want to face.
That's why she was shocked by the scene just now. The wild hunters came in groups across the sky. Their blades were like twinkling stars in the night sky, and the hoofs of the ghost horses were like phosphorus fire on the swamp. Her eyes were filled with tears.
The blue flames shine through, and the number of layers makes it almost impossible to distinguish the outline of the Wild Hunt...
For a moment, Ciri instinctively wanted to open the portal and escape. It was almost an instinct and habit engraved in her bones.
However, she suppressed it forcefully. At the same time, she was anxious and became more and more suspicious, because the Wild Hunt had already killed them, but the people on her side did not make any move. She even doubted whether she had really been deceived, and became more and more suspicious of herself.
I feel doubtful about my thoughts and decisions at that time.
But in the next moment, everything came to an abrupt end.
The wild hunting that came like a tidal wave suddenly stopped.
The demon spirits of the Wild Hunt were like puppets whose strings had been cut. They suddenly stopped all movements. They seemed to be frozen in the air. After a second, their bodies collapsed, as if they were transformed into ghost-like bodies.
The fluorescence generally dissipates completely.
Only a few figures screamed, and the sound with the Doppler effect seemed very funny. They fell from the high altitude and fell freely into the distant mountains and forests...
The cold current and wind also stopped, and the entire island was instantly surrounded by silence.
The white-haired girl stood on the top of the mountain, unable to react. She didn't even see clearly what was going on. The whole nightmarish army... was so easily defeated?
Subconsciously, she turned around and looked at the crater over there. The Witcher girl hesitated for a moment, then walked quickly to the other side. A few people seemed to have fallen over there just now. They must have been caught by the Wild Hunts.
She knew something about the innocent people, so she was ready to go and take a look.
Xili remembered that the "mage" who asked her to repay her debt said that this island is actually alive... so those few people should be able to survive and not be reduced to pieces.
"Although I have expected it, it is still a bit ridiculously weak..."
Standing on a mountaintop near the volcanic zone, Gu Mo stretched out his slender index finger with some distress and rubbed his temples. He found that he still overestimated the level of the Wild Hunters, so that he used too much force and directly defeated the entire group.
An army——came into his sight, and then was wiped out by his spiritual power in an instant!
Of course it's because his current spiritual power is unfathomable, but it's also because the sand content in the Wild Hunt is too high...
Perhaps the demon spirits in the Wild Hunt are all in the form of ghosts, and they are also spiritual-like entities. Although they are immune to physical damage to a certain extent, this in turn means that mental attacks and magic attacks can actually deal real damage.
Hurt?
Gu Mo could only guess this way, and at the same time he couldn't help but ponder it.
Speaking of which, the ancient blood really contains extremely wonderful mysteries.
Not to mention that Ciri can travel across the world at will, but the Wild Hunters who have lost this complete talent can still appear in other worlds in the form of ghosts, which is equivalent to their entire clan being in control regardless of strength or weakness.
It has a magical skill similar to "plane projection". The real body is in the home world, and the projection appears in other time and space.
Thinking about this, he became even more interested in the secrets hidden in Ciri's bloodline.
At this time, several figures appeared on the mountain road in the distance. The white-haired girl was rushing here with a few guys who were not sure whether they were unlucky or lucky. The former had considerable potential because of his bloodline, and he also
Having received part of the training from the demon hunters, they were naturally able to walk quickly, but the few people behind them did not dare to neglect them even after they had calmed down.
They gritted their teeth and kept up, but they were surprised to find that their physical fitness seemed to be better than they thought. They walked through the woods and over mountains and ridges without feeling any fatigue. Their bodies were breathing in the extremely fresh and natural air.
On the contrary, it feels more and more smooth.
The old man among them was even more surprised by this. He followed closely along the way. At the same time, he had calmed down and quickly looked at the surrounding environment. Then he looked at the top of the mountain in front, where the man was quietly waiting for him and others to pass.
The figure couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
After all, he has experienced strong winds and waves, but the series of things that have happened from just now to now are still overwhelming him... Of course, it is not only him, but also the boy Victor opposite, and there is only one other man and one woman. Look
It seemed that the waiter on the ship was the one who went up. He was trembling with fear and couldn't think rationally at all.
The sudden wild hunting caught me and others abducted unexpectedly...
Being dragged across the sky behind the horses in a magical yet humiliating way...
The roaring wind and the terrifying height made them wonder if they were dreaming, and their hearts were filled with fear. They didn't know what terrible treatment they would suffer next, or whether they would be captured by the Wild Hunt like the legend.
Will people be taken to the underworld?
And all kinds of terrible speculations came to an abrupt end when the Wild Hunt army was suddenly wiped out by an unknown force.
They fell from a high altitude and were miraculously unscathed in the end. Then they were accurately found by a white-haired girl and taken there... Although Xili didn't say anything and just asked them to follow her, the shocked few...
People are naturally extremely obedient, and even after the fear cools down a little, what remains is excitement and anxiety.
They...seem to be in contact with a new world!
…………
"There are just a few people, right?"
Gu Mo blinked his eyes. The witch turned around and went back as soon as the matter was resolved. She probably didn't expect that the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and the Wild Hunters came with such great momentum that they actually couldn't finish one round.
There is no need to let Platycodon do it.
However, for the sake of caution, he still blurred the image of Ciri in the eyes of those unlucky people, as if he had made a layer of illusion disguise for himself.
"Well, it's all here...Wild Hunt...is it all solved?"
Arriving in front of Gu Modian, the demon hunter girl hesitated for a moment, staring at him with complicated eyes, and there was still a sense of disbelief in her tone.
"The Wild Hunt was defeated by you like this?"
"They are not strong to begin with...but they are just shadows. There is nothing to worry about." Gu Mo looked at the white-haired girl in front of him up and down, and then replied calmly.
Xili gritted her teeth gently, so she was a weakling when she was chased and could only keep running away? But thinking about it from another angle, this is definitely a good thing. It seems that this person did not deceive herself, and she does not need to
Go back to the wandering life of escape.
The words of the two people did not escape the lucky audience. Under the resonance of magical spiritual power, they could clearly understand the conversation of these two strange people.
It’s indeed the Wild Hunt!
But even such a terrifying legend was directly defeated by this mysterious young man in front of me!
There is also this magical power of being able to directly understand the meaning of the other party's words despite the language barrier!
They communicated with their eyes excitedly and nervously. Taking advantage of the silence, the middle-aged man who looked very stable took a step forward and tried hard to calm down his tone: "This, this distinguished gentleman
, thank you for your help..."
"No need to be polite, you are just involved in our conflict..."
The young man wearing a green robe glanced at them and said casually as if he didn't care.
"You can leave now and walk along this road toward the forest..."
"No." The middle-aged man's face froze, and he couldn't maintain the expression on his face. He said eagerly, "No matter what, we have to thank you properly. Please give us a chance..." p>
This time is a blessing in disguise, you must seize this opportunity!
Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to forgive himself, and he is afraid that he will slap himself several times in the middle of the night!
"I don't need anything..." The young man opposite waved his hands indifferently and gave a desperate reply, "You can't give me anything, just treat it as a dream and forget about it after you go back.
Well, just go back to your life..."
"Dear Sir..." Staring closely at Gu Mo's attire, the old man who looked very wise finally spoke. What was surprising was that what he spoke was actually in Chinese, although he couldn't get rid of the distortion.
Jen has a strange and awkward texture to Chinese, but at least the enunciation is clear.
"Can I ask... are you a fairy in Eastern legend?"
"..."
"..."
"Ha, it's interesting. Do the people here actually know something about this..." The young man wearing a green robe looked at the old man, and then he smiled strangely as if he had thought of something, "You can think so.
."
"I used to be very obsessed with this aspect. I also learned about it when I was young, and I studied Chinese specifically for this purpose..."
The old man tried hard to conceal the excitement in his heart. He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and made his words clear and not urgent, as if he was worried that he would miss the opportunity because of being too impatient: "I...I have a presumptuous request.
That is, can I learn from you? I, I really, really hope..."
emmmmm……
This development was really unexpected, and Gu Mo's face looked a little strange.
