The warm sunshine shone on his body through the mottled tree shadows, finally bringing a sense of relief to Mok.
A bird in the nearby jungle was frightened and flew rapidly above the forest tops, screaming, breaking the tranquility of the forest.
After running hard all night, in the dim jungle where he couldn't see anything, in the primitive jungle with branches stretching across the ground, vines everywhere, and thick bushes, although his forehead was bruised and the corners of his mouth were swollen, but in the end from there
Escape from the scary nightmare jungle.
While running wildly, even though there was no creature chasing him, Mork still kept looking back, as if there was some invisible demon following him.
Suddenly it dawned on me that the continuous jungle came to an abrupt end. Below the gentle shallow slope was a lush green grassland, and in the distance you could see the sharp corners of the small village wooden houses and the curling smoke.
Seeing this scene, Mock's heart was relieved.
After stumbling out of the jungle, Mock headed straight for the small mountain village without looking back.
That's the village of Colca!
A small village located on the edge of the Greenland forest. Although the supplies are not sufficient, it can still provide some meat and water. Therefore, many mercenaries and adventurers who make a living in the Greenland forest like to rest and stay there.
The small village was completely silent.
It stands to reason that this time should be the busiest time for the hunters in the small village. They will go into the jungle in groups to check whether there are any harvests in the traps. The old people in the village will gather at the end of the village to chat, and the women will start to chat in the houses.
Freshly tanned animal skins are drying in the front and back rooms...
Mok looked at the empty village in front of him with some confusion. He couldn't even see the few young boys who were always running around and playing in the open space of the village.
No one in the village is here?
No, there is someone in the village!
After all, Mock was a mercenary. Although he was not very good at killing people, he was very good at noticing subtle things. He could see the faint reflection of eyes from behind the closed gate of each wooden house, and he could also detect a beam of light.
A heavy breathing sound.
"Hank! Thor! Daka! Are you all here? It's me, Mork! Why are you hiding? Don't you recognize me? Mork from the Black Bear Mercenary Team..."
After hearing Mork yelling over and over again, the gate of a wooden house in the village opened with a creak, and the familiar figure of Orion Hank appeared at the door. Somehow, he did not come out to greet Mork as boldly as in the past.
Instead, he stood silently in the shadow inside the door and slowly gave way to the road.
Mock, who was in shock, had been running around in the jungle all night. He was already exhausted and couldn't wait to get into the house.
"Hank, no matter what you have here, bring me food and drink first. I need to get back to Lanqiu City immediately after taking a rest. I tell you, you must warn the people in the village that this period of time is extremely dangerous.
Don't go into the mountains anymore. There..."
As soon as he entered the house, Mock squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the dimness of the house. He was immediately surprised to find that the dozen or so hunters in the village were all here. They stood quietly in the house, their faces hidden in the shadows and it was difficult to see them clearly.
expression.
"Are you having a meeting? Why don't you light a lamp?"
Before Mork finished speaking, darkness suddenly dimmed behind him, and Hank actually closed the gate again.
As a result, the cabin became increasingly dark and evil!
Mok suddenly shivered and for the first time felt the strangeness of the scene in front of him.
As soon as he took a step back, someone hugged him tightly from behind, and then two more people rushed up, grabbing his arms and shoulders with their big iron-like hands.
"What are you doing? It's mine...it's me, Mok..."
Mok struggled hard and tried to reach for the dagger at his waist with his right hand, but he was held by three people from behind and on both sides, making him unable to move. The hunters in the mountains were already strong, but they were still fighting three against one. This time Mok couldn't move.
It’s really hard for Keke to resist!
Just as Mok was hissing and cursing, a rickety figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The man with gray hair and beard, and an old face full of wrinkles is none other than the old village chief of Kokar Village, Father Nohan.
However, before Mok handed over Nohan's name, the kind-faced old man suddenly opened his mouth, and opened it wider and wider. Because the mouth was opened too wide, the corner of Nohan's mouth even tore open.
, all the way to the base of the ear.
But what he opened wasn't his mouth, but... it was a ferocious four-petal mouthpart. The edges of the lips were full of fine interlaced canine teeth, which looked creepy. And in the middle of the four-petal mouthpart
, a strange and ugly scorpion suddenly emerged from the scarlet-bloody pipe.
And that father Nohan came closer step by step, actually pried open Mok's mouth with his lips, and spit the terrible scorpion into his mouth.
Mo Ke was frightened and struggled desperately, whining and screaming loudly.
Unfortunately, all this is of no help!
The terrible scorpion wormed its way into his throat. After a moment, when the three of them let go of their arms, Mok stopped struggling, and all the painful expressions on his face disappeared and turned into a
A numb and stiff look.
He lowered his arms, and a hint of dark red appeared in the depths of his eyes. Like other hunters, he stood silently in the darkness, waiting for his master's orders.
At this time, a nearly transparent wind-breathed monster was floating above the wooden house, silently waiting for something.
"Hmph, Greem, you have crossed the line!" A hoarse and noisy mental wave that resembled the hiss of an insect suddenly sounded in the core of the wind-breathed monster's consciousness.
"This is not called crossing the line, but tracking!" Greem's lazy voice was also transmitted through this temporary mental channel: "You can also see that I am tracking my prey! Should I go to Korgan?
I'm going to sue you, but you actually intercepted my prey halfway?"
"Hmph, you can sue if you want! The order that Korgan gave me is to seal off this area of the forest and prevent anyone from entering or exiting. I'm just following the order. As for you, you are such a powerful fire wizard.
, you actually let a human mercenary break into your territory. Shouldn't you explain your incompetence to Korgan!"
"No, no, no... Since you have captured this prey, forget it, I'll leave now!" As soon as Greem finished speaking, the wind-breathed monster began to rise slowly, looking like it was about to leave here.
appearance.
"..." Entik, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly became alert.
Ever since he had dealt with this Greem, he had never been easy to talk to. This time he showed weakness and retreated so happily, which immediately made him feel a little inappropriate.
Just when Entik was suspicious, the wind-breathing monster that had risen to the sky suddenly sent out another mental wave: "By the way, Entik, don't you check the body of the insect man every time you make it?"
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind-breathed monster rushed into the jungle without looking back.
At this time, Mok's body in the wooden house suddenly began to heat up rapidly, and his whole body turned into a human bomb in an instant. When the energy and blood in his body boiled and expanded to the limit, it exploded with a bang.
Since the "worm-turned" Orion stations in the hut were relatively dense, Mock's explosion also affected the remaining 7 bug-men. These 7 bug-men were beaten by flying bone fragments and terrifying high-temperature plasma.
His body was riddled with holes, and then melted away in pain.
Each bug-man has a Heart-Eating Insect bred by Entik in his body. The eight Heart-Eating Insects were destroyed in an instant, and the mental pain caused to Entik can be imagined.
The next second, Entik screamed and cursed in anger.
It's a pity that the wind-breathing monster has already escaped and disappeared!
…………
When Grim returned to the wizard camp with a series of prisoners of war, the boy followed him.
The boy's name is Edwin, and his hometown is in a distant place called Keliti. It is rich in grape wine and is also a famous area with beautiful scenery. Unfortunately... after he awakened that weird talent, he was forced to leave
He left his hometown and lived a life of wandering around and hiding in various places.
It's a pity that even though he hid deep in the Greenland forest, he was still blocked in the cave by a group of mad-dog-like and fanatical demon-hunting knights. Six of the seven companions who had been together day and night for half a year died, and he was the only one who survived.
This was because the group of demon-hunting knights wanted to capture him and publicly execute him in the city, so he was temporarily spared his life.
However, his life changed drastically last night, setting him on a completely different path!
I haven't seen him for only two or three days, and there have been huge changes in the camp.
A three-story stone tower has been erected, and a dozen mechanical beasts are floating outside the stone tower, carefully etching special rune lines on the tower wall.
Although this is not a real wizard tower, after continuous strengthening of solid runes, anti-magic runes, and anti-prophecy runes, it is enough to temporarily serve as a wizard's residence. There are more and more sophisticated magic items and wizards.
If you want to refine magical potions, you cannot do without the alchemy laboratory and the alchemy table.
Therefore, prioritizing the construction of the witchcraft tower has become a top priority!
After returning this time, Greem found that there were twice as many wizard beasts outside the camp than before. Moreover, Greem also found traces of the trophies he had sent back on several powerful wizard-level wizard beasts.
For example, bloodthirsty ogres, violent giant apes, poison-eyed giants...
The refinement of these powerful wizard-level wizard beasts is too rough, and the life system is not stable at all. At first glance, they are temporary and defective products. Although such guys have no loss in combat power and can reach wizard-level strength, their vitality is only
In just one or two months.
And when Greem and Korgan began to hand over the newly captured demon hunting knights and human mercenaries, the young Edwin was watching everything in the camp with a feeling of worship.
To him, this place is simply the holy land of spellcasters in his dreams, and it is also a place he is willing to protect to the death!
