The other members of the escort team were divided into three groups and scattered in every corner of the village.
Just like Albert and Rudas, they lit torches in pairs and searched every dark corner.
Gray and Pedro formed the only three-person team with guard Carl.
Although the serf village is not big, there are many small roads inside.
There is a distance of three to five meters between each wooden house.
The village without any layout is like a small natural maze.
"Carl, Pedro, I feel like something's not quite right here." Gray pointed at the dark path in front of him.
"Um?"
Karl's eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and a trace of caution emerged from them.
He directly drew out the iron sword from his waist with his right hand, and held the torch with his left hand.
Step by step, he walked towards the path pointed by Gray.
Phew~
Karl passed the torch he held high in his hand forward.
I saw a strange creature full of mechanical beauty completely exposed to the firelight.
Its slender figure is imprinted on the wall like a demon in the abyss.
However, Karl had not yet waited for further reaction.
A pitch-black long joint-shaped tail wrapped directly around his calf and pulled him over.
History is always surprisingly similar!
There are Marissa’s mistakes in the past, and Karl’s mistakes in the future.
In the blink of an eye, Karl disappeared from the sight of the two of them.
"Damn it, Carl!"
Pedro cursed angrily when he saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
"Pedro, don't be impulsive!"
But at this moment, Pedro only had eyes for the monster and Karl, and didn't pay attention to Gray's dissuasion behind him.
Seeing Pedro's disappearing figure, Gray had no choice but to follow him.
Bang bang bang~
Carl was dragged to the ground like cargo by the worker bee alien.
Inevitably, it hit the rocks, corners and other protrusions on the roadside, making a dull sound.
After all, there is no such thing as pity in the eyes of alien worker bees.
This alien was the one that was hiding in the dark and planned to sneak attack Sauron.
It's a pity that when facing Sauron with magic power, normal darkness is no limitation at all.
After a failed sneak attack, it went into hiding.
As a result, before Sauron came to the door, he encountered Karl and his party.
As for the compatriots it protected before, they have now become dead souls under Yan Ying's sword.
At this moment, Karl, who was being dragged to the ground by the alien, felt a burning pain in his back.
Even though he was wearing leather armor, he couldn't withstand being dragged on the ground all this time.
It can be seen through the leather armor and the linen clothing underneath the leather armor.
The originally smooth and intact skin was now full of broken skin.
Blood drops continued to seep out from the breach and were sucked up by the clothes.
However, even so, Karl did not throw away the iron sword and torch in his hand.
Because he knows that this is his only hope to survive.
Facts also proved that Carl's idea was right.
It was precisely with the fire in his hands that Pedro and Gray were able to follow closely behind the worker bee alien.
During this period, Karl also tried to cut off the thing binding his calf.
It's just that every time I want to take action, I always bump into various places unexpectedly.
Ahead is another fork in the road.
Looking at the growing wall in his eyes, Karl was unable to dodge at all.
boom!
Not surprisingly, this time he hit the wall directly.
But Karl still held the torch and the iron sword tightly in his hands and never let go.
…
In the alley.
A long distance behind Pedro, Gray, who was at the back, was breathing heavily.
"Pe...Pedro, slow...slow down! Wait for me."
"I really...can't run anymore!"
Gray bent his back, put his hands on his knees, and breathed calmly.
Even though he has been working in the fields all year round, he cannot withstand such strenuous exercise.
Looking at Pedro who was still chasing after him, Gray never thought that he could run so well.
It's just that the distance between the two has long since grown, and Pedro didn't hear Gray's words at all.
As the breathing calmed down, the surroundings became quiet after a while.
The atmosphere in the alley began to become dangerous.
In the darkness that Gray couldn't see, a pitch-black creature climbed over the wall of the house and silently came behind Gray.
He was unaware of all this.
As Gray walked forward slowly, the creatures in the darkness followed him quietly.
It seemed that this behavior was quite boring, and it slowly opened its mouth towards Gray's back, revealing the unique organ inside - the inner nest teeth.
Pfft~
A handful of bright red blood flowers bloomed from the darkness.
Gray's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes widened, and bloodshot eyes appeared in the corners of his eyes.
He turned his head with difficulty, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
A touch of moisture was constantly infecting Gray's clothes.
Although Gray couldn't see clearly what color the moisture was in the dark night, he knew it must be red.
Because that is his blood.
Handful after handful of blood couldn't stop spitting out from his mouth.
Gray wanted to say something, but all he could say was "uh", "uh".
When his consciousness began to drift away, he seemed to see little Annie's happy smile and his wife's tenderness.
"Dad, come back quickly!"
Gray seemed to hear his daughter's call in his ears.
That was a small agreement the two made before he went out.
It's just that this time the agreement between father and daughter is destined to end with Gray breaking his promise.
This may be the only time in Gray's short life that he breaks his promise, but it is also his last.
"Little...little Annie, I'm sorry! Dad can't go back!"
As if it was a flashback before his death, Gray desperately wanted to express the apology in his heart at the last moment of his life.
It’s just that no one is destined to hear all this.
With every word he spoke, a large amount of blood would spurt out.
"A...Amorin, take...take care of my...our little...little Annie."
"I really hope..."
Before Gray could finish his words, the alien worker bee hiding in the darkness took back the "instrument of murder."
Phew~
With the extraction of the inner nest teeth, it seemed that the last breath of Gray's body was taken away.
His weak body fell to his knees softly, and then he fell to the ground with a "bang".
Blood gurgled out from the holes in the chest.
This was a wonderful feeling that he had never experienced before.
emptiness!
Ice cold!
"This! Is this... what death feels like?"
As Gray lost his consciousness, space began to collapse in an unknown dimension.
The transparent human body that originally floated peacefully like a sleeping beauty continued to disperse into azure light spots the size of fireflies.
It is only because this mysterious space has not been completely broken that it is imprisoned in it.
But looking at the crystalline film full of cracks in the sky, it's only a matter of time before it breaks.
Pedro knew nothing about what happened to Gray.
At this time, all he could see was the light of fire not far ahead.
"Finally caught up with you!"
Looking at the disappearing fire around the corner in front of him, Pedro couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
At this time, he was also panting heavily and walked slowly towards the firelight at the corner of the path.
It was just when Pedro walked out of the path and came to the corner.
His expression, which was originally filled with joy at catching up with Karl who was swept away, turned ugly on the spot.
At the corner, I saw torches and iron swords lying messily on the ground.
Not far away, Karl was lying on the ground unconscious.
Of course, these alone are not enough to make Pedro's expression change drastically.
The main reason for his sudden change in expression was the pool of dark red blood under Karl's body.
Pedro quickly came to Karl's side and kept shaking Karl's body.
"Karl! Karl! Wake up."
"What's wrong with you? Is something okay?"
Under Pedro's violent shaking, Karl struggled to open his eyes.
Accompanied by a violent cough, bits of blood foam coughed out from his mouth.
"Cough cough cough~"
"Damn it! Smelly old man, stop shaking it."
"If you shake it any longer, I won't be killed by that monster, but you will be killed by you."
