This heavy news suddenly began to spread widely in Lanqiu City, and soon reached Niyingt's ears.
According to reports from some mercenaries who often go in and out of the Greenland forest, the village of Kokal near the edge of the forest turned into a dead village overnight, with all the villagers disappearing! What is surprising is that all items in the village have disappeared.
The items for food, clothing and housing, including the furs of the animals most prized by the villagers, and the rare treasures of the mountains and forests were all placed in place, but not all living things could be found.
From the lively villagers and hunters to the hounds, cattle and sheep kept in captivity in every household, all living animals disappeared, and no clues or traces of their departure could be found.
Several mercenaries who passed by were so frightened that they kept calling the evil sect. After running back to Lanqiu City, they directly reported the incident to the city lord's palace.
So all kinds of rumors in one day threw Lanqiu City into turmoil!
Some said that some monsters ran out of the forest, some said that they were infected with some plague, and some were even more sinister, saying that there was some terrible evil person haunting there...
While the entire city of Lanqiu was panicking, Niyingt had already invited those mercenaries into the camp and learned all the details in detail.
Soon, that night, these more than a hundred demon hunting knights suddenly left Blue Qiu City and rushed to the village of Kokar where the mysterious disappearance occurred.
The more than forty miles of mountain road is nothing to the demon hunting knights who travel all year round. Besides, the people coming on this trip are all elites from the demon hunting knights from various places, so the horses they ride are not ordinary war horses.
It is a special kind of magical horse that has been specially domesticated.
This kind of magic horse is far taller, more powerful, and stronger than ordinary war horses. It also has tusks and sharp teeth like jungle beasts. What's even more terrifying is that they also have a kind of growth on their bodies.
Special scales similar to scale armor can resist attacks from sharp objects.
Demon hunting knights are able to traverse this plane with few opponents, and the demon horse also plays a big role in it.
However, this kind of magic horse can only be obtained by the elite among the demon hunting knights, so it is rare to see it in a small place like Blue Hill City.
It was precisely by relying on the demon horse's beast-like dexterity and sharp claws that were good at leaping and climbing that the entire demon hunting knights were able to rush to the village of Kokar halfway up the mountain so quickly.
When they arrived here, it was almost dawn, and a ray of white light had already appeared in the sky in the distance.
But walking in the empty and dark village gave people a creepy feeling.
Most of the demon-hunting knights stayed outside the village, and as Niint rode into the village, those inside were the elite knights who had advanced to the level of spell-breaking. In addition to being proficient in various knight combat skills, these people also
There is no shortage of generalists with special means.
Dozens of torches as thick as arms are placed all over the village!
Several demon hunting knights who were good at searching and tracking immediately launched the most rigorous search and inspection of Kokar Village. Soon, some relatively hidden clues emerged.
A large number of strange insect sloughs and some broken insect limbs were found. Even in a thatched house, a large number of damaged clothes and some ungnawed human limbs were found.
Judging from all these signs, the village of Kokal was suddenly attacked the night before yesterday.
The direction of the attacker's coming and going was vaguely pointing to the northwest of the nearby Greenland forest. As for the attacker, it is likely to be some kind of terrifying insect-like monster.
However, just as the elites of the knights gathered together to discuss how to track this strange monster, the demon hunting knights who stayed outside the village suddenly burst out in horror.
"Insects...insects..."
"It's an insect..."
"Everyone, be careful..."
The noisy noise caused Niyingt, who was leading the team, to change his expression. He jumped onto the magic horse, slapped the horse and rushed out of the small mountain village.
The demon-hunting knights who stayed outside the village were now in a panic. Under the illumination of many torches, some knights near the forest couldn't help stamping their feet, as if they were fighting something. But beside them,
, three demon hunting knights have already fallen to the ground, motionless.
As soon as Niyingt rode the magic horse and rushed forward, he was shocked by the terrifying scene in front of him.
Scorpions, a large number of scorpions, massive scorpions, scorpions all over the mountains and plains...
The bodies of the three demon-hunting knights who fell to the ground were covered with terrifying black scorpion insects that were constantly squirming. The strange and strange sounds of eating armor and bones could be heard endlessly. The five demon-hunting knights who were trapped in the swarm of insects and struggled hard were very soon.
Soon, two more were pricked by the scorpion's black tail needles, and then they staggered and fell down.
As for the remaining three, they grabbed the rope thrown by their companions and were lucky enough to be dragged out of the insect swarm.
"Where did these bugs come from?" Niyingt asked loudly.
"Inside the forest! They came out of the forest and attacked us while we were dismounting and resting..." A knight elite who stayed behind replied loudly.
"Set fire... burn them to death with fire..."
As Niyingt shouted loudly, torches were thrown into the swarm like raindrops. Some demon hunting knights even demolished several nearby Orion cabins and threw thatch and old wooden boards into the sea of fire.
. Accompanied by the pungent smell of crackling barbecue meat fat and protein, the raging insect swarm finally became a little afraid and poured back into the forest like a tide.
"Sir, look!" A demon hunting knight suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Following the direction pointed by his arm, and with the help of the ray of morning light at dawn, Niyingt saw a strange black figure deep in the forest where the insects disappeared.
This is a strange figure wrapped in a black cloth robe. It is tall and has a pair of green eyes silently watching here under the shadow of the hood.
"Evil one!" Niyingt said hatefully every word.
Without him having to remind him, a dozen rune bows had already been drawn into a perfect circle. Clang, clang, clang... a series of bow strings exploded, and a dozen flaming arrows with a bright red halo pierced the dark night sky, and the black
The mountain forest where the robe stands has turned into a burning wheat field.
The strange figure in black robe only flickered at the edge of the sea of fire, and then disappeared into the depths of the forest sea.
"Pursue!" Niyingt waved his hand vigorously, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Edward, you lead the large army slowly, I will lead a few people to stop him first!"
After saying that, Niyingt and seven or eight of his companions wildly drove the magic horse under his crotch, and disappeared into the dark forest sea in an instant.
The red sun in the distant sky has already jumped half of its body, and the darkness in the mountains and forests is receding step by step.
The light mist was dispersed by the rising sun, bringing a moist air to the forest.
That strange figure kept flashing in the depths of the distant mountain forest. Niyingt's several flaming arrows shot from his bow were cleverly avoided, but his speed did not slow down even half a minute.
The demon horses are like terrifying monsters running through the forest. They can climb rocks and walls, cross streams and gorges. On a small hill three feet high, the demon horse can leap forward with only a slight extension of its sharp claws.
With just enough strength, you can get over it. No matter how rugged and steep the mountain road is, the magic horse can fly over it as if it were walking on flat ground!
These long-trained demon-hunting knights bent slightly, crawling on the back of the demon horse, following its leaps and bounds, galloping quickly through the forest full of vines, bushes, and weeds half as tall as a person, closely following it.
He chased and photographed the strange figure that appeared and disappeared.
This is not because of the arrogance and fearlessness of the Demon Hunter Knights, but because this has been their fighting style and habits for a long time.
In the Demon Hunting Continent, evil people are few in number and are always being hunted and attacked. It is difficult to gather a large enough force. Therefore, as long as an evil person is discovered, the Demon Hunting Knights will chase him to death. Very few
Will consider boring issues such as whether the other party has an ambush.
However, little did they know that as they galloped quickly through the dense forest, strange figures appeared at the rear of the team, approaching quickly from the top of the forest.
This is a group of weird vampire bats.
They have wide bat wings and flexible movements, and can glide flexibly between the tall and airtight ancient trees, approaching the team of demon hunting knights silently.
The one who stayed at the rear of the team was a veteran demon-hunting knight. The demon horse he drove was a bit older, so his physical fitness and explosive power were no longer as good as those of his companions. After half a quarter of an hour of galloping, he
There was a distance of more than ten meters from the companion in front of me.
With the speed of the magic horse, this distance could not be called lagging behind. But even so, it still caused him an unexpected and terrifying attack.
Although he didn't hear any sound, the danger alert he had honed over the years still made him realize that something was wrong behind him.
He alertly stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, leaned slightly, and turned his head half sideways to look around.
There was no movement in the dark forest, and no enemy could be seen in sight.
Could it be that the warning sign that just crossed my mind was that I was being paranoid?
While he was hesitating, he suddenly sensed something wrong above his head out of the corner of his eye.
The enemy is above!
Unfortunately, he was not allowed to change anything. A vampire bat glided in front of him and suddenly rolled down. Its furry and thin body actually transformed into a young man with bloody eyes and sharp claws in less than half a finger's time.
The young man who came back quickly knocked the demon hunting knight off the demon horse, and the two of them started fighting and biting each other crazily while still in the air. Before they could land, more vampire bats swooped down,
He quickly transformed into a vampire, ignored the Demon Hunter Knight's struggle, and pounced directly on him.
In just a dozen seconds, under the crazy siege of five or six vampires, the demon-hunting knight was drained of blood and died. At this time, the nearest demon-hunting knight faintly heard something while running fast.
There were sounds of frantic slapping and biting behind him. When he turned around, what he saw in shock was a sharp fang mouth that was rapidly growing in size.
