Time flows backward and disappears from the night sky...
As dawn arrived, one scout team after another left the military camp and walked into the grass on the outskirts of Samp Town.
In addition to the regular equipment, each of these scout teams also carries a clay pot on their backs. This clay pot is no different from the jars used to store honey and olive oil at home. Each jar has a flat round lid. Open the lid and you can just put one hand in.
Each scout filled this clay pot with the finely crushed ashes of hellhounds. This fine ash-like powder rose into the air, like smoke, and could almost be blown away by the wind.
This is one of the ways Aphrodite told Surdak to deal with the Shadow Demon.
The moment the shadow demon disappears, it does not turn into smoke, but becomes invisible through the awakened bloodline talent. Not all shadow demons are as strong as the shadow demon in the mage tower in Mukusuo City. The warriors of their tribe are also strong and weak.
It is precisely because of this racial talent that the warriors of the Shadow Demon clan usually do not want to make progress, always thinking that they can solve everything by relying on their bloodline talent.
Therefore, the strong ones among the shadow demon group are even rarer...
These scout teams left the camp this time basically to go out and hunt the shadow demons. I heard that the skins of the shadow demons are very valuable, but not all shadow demon skins are very valuable, but very few shadow demons have the attribute of invisibility. Magic skins, many magicians like to use their leather to make invisibility cloaks.
…
A scout team walked through the excrement-filled grass, surrounded by dead silence.
There is even a kind of lavender columnar plant growing around the feces of those hell dogs, which looks a bit like a morel mushroom, but with white spots on it. This plant is very invasive, and they emit some black pollen from time to time. If these powdery substances get on the leaves of other plants, those leaves will quickly wither.
Pushing aside the jagged blades of grass, a bloodstain was drawn on the face of the scout captain.
If he was scratched by some vines containing neurotoxins, the wound would be particularly painful. He wiped his face with the back of his hand. He had been walking around in this deserted meadow for a long time, but he did not find the invisibility that Commander Surdak described. Killer.
He looked at the sky and felt that it seemed a little early to return to the military camp.
He reached out and touched in his arms, took out half a piece of scone, tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth...
The biscuit is a bit dry, chew it slowly and feel the rich wheat flavor.
A charred hellhound suddenly appeared from the grass in front. There was a faint green smoke coming from their bodies, and they were breathing heavily, as if there was water in their lungs.
The captain pressed his body lower, just waiting for the hell dog to get closer, even closer.
He even reached behind his back and made a code gesture to the members of the scout team behind him, asking them to get ready...
He felt his body suddenly sink, and his head seemed to be hugged by someone. The scout captain felt a chill in his heart. He even asked about the smell of tobacco.
At this moment of life and death, the captain nodded quickly.
A spark immediately flew out from the armor plate on the neck, like a knife cutting on the armor plate at the neck, and the friction sound was very harsh.
The captain threw himself towards the grass on the left side in the next second, feeling a sharp pain in his left shoulder.
The weakest part of the shoulder armor was cut open, and the entire shoulder was bleeding.
Without hesitation, he reached into the clay pot and grabbed a handful of ashes. The moment he fell out, he turned over and threw the ashes violently behind him. A stream of dust dispersed in the wind.
The next second, the ashes powder outlined a human shape in the air.
The captain almost fell into the grass, and the figure followed him. The scout captain pulled out his long sword and stabbed the outline of the ashes...
The outline of the ashes dodged nimbly, but he didn't even prepare to block, and the dagger in his hand stabbed the scout captain again.
The scout captain was a little dumbfounded.
Gu Tong
He was a little confused. Was the outline of the ashes stupid? Aren't you afraid that he would cut him in half with his sword?
Without any time to think, he swung his sword and successfully cut the outline of the ashes in half.
Purple blood gushes out, and he quickly avoids it.
A short figure slowly emerged, but there was a huge scar on his abdomen. The whole person was cut off at the waist, leaving only a little bit of skin behind him connected together, and his internal organs flowing all over the ground.
At this time, the other members of the scout team had easily defeated the four hell dogs and were happily cutting off their heads.
The scout captain took out a piece of oilcloth from his arms, quickly wrapped the corpse of the hell demon with a green and red stripe on his face and a sharp horn on his head in the oilcloth, and then put it into a linen bag.
"Mission accomplished, call it a day!"
The scout captain touched his neck and saw a deep mark on the armor plate.
Throughout the day, more than seventy scout teams dispatched by the Heavy Armored Infantry Corps hunted a total of seventeen shadow demons on the outskirts of Samp Town.
I have to say that this hunt was very successful. Twenty-seven scouts were injured in the fight with the Shadow Demon, but no one died. However, when hunting the hell dogs, five scouts had their necks bitten off by the hell dogs.
.
Unfortunately, as rumored, shadow demon skins with the life magic pattern of 'invisibility' are very rare. Surdak was not able to find the life magic pattern from the corpses of these shadow demons, even incomplete ones.
Surdak pushed the chopped Shadow Demon into the trash can, then soaked a piece of bloody leather covered in purple blood in a wooden barrel to remove stains, then stretched it tightly on a wooden frame and took it out
The large tent of the military camp was placed outside to dry.
The entire military camp looked a bit like a slaughterhouse, but unfortunately nothing was gained.
Nearly half of the twenty catapults have been assembled. Tomorrow there will be a round of debugging on the catapults, and then these twenty catapults will be pushed onto the battlefield.
…
At night, Bella Norma Lake is like a quiet deep sapphire.
Siya stepped into the lake. When she was waist deep in the lake, she looked back at Surdak on the shore and waved to him.
Her clear, big eyes are full of encouragement, and her face has a confident and sweet smile.
Suldak took a deep breath and stepped into the lake.
When they came to Siya, they found that she had already turned into a long fish tail in the water. Siya stretched out her arms and let Suldak hug her shoulders from behind. Then Siya fell sideways into the lake.
The three-color fish tail made a huge splash and slid into the lake with Suldak.
Surdak just hugged Siya from behind, and Siya took him for a swim in the lake, letting the lake water hit him head-on.
Siya's arms kept moving the water of the lake, swimming across the lake as fast as a dolphin.
Soon, Suldak saw the bearded Edgar and sixteen infantry soldiers holding a log and quietly approaching the dock in the north of Samp Town.
But Thea didn't want to get too close, after all, she was a little shy in the water.
When approaching the North Pier, I saw more than a dozen fishing boats next to the pier. Occasionally, a few desperate roars came from the town. Surdak was not sure if there were any survivors inside, so he did not dare to rush in at this moment.
.
I can't see any hellhounds guarding the dock. Hellhounds don't like water very much.
The bearded Edgar successfully approached the fishing boat. Seventeen soldiers leaned forward almost at the same time and used daggers to cut the hemp rope tied to the stone pier of the dock. Then they did not get on the boat, but pushed the fishing boat out of the dock little by little, until
After they were far away from the dock, they all climbed onto the boat, holding on to the wood pulp inside the boat, and rowed all the way to the camp...
Thea followed at a distance with Surdak on her back.
When they saw that they were exhausted, they created a wave and the waves pushed the dozen or so fishing boats all the way to the camp without any danger.
