It was getting dark, and the streets with few pedestrians were more deserted.
"Well... Thank you." the rescued girl ran panting and thanked victor.
[you go, don't follow me.] stop and warn the girls who follow all the way.
"Mr. Dharma Master... Those hooligans will not let me go." the girl twisted her hands and looked pale.
[it's more dangerous to follow me. You saw the situation in the adventure guild just now. Their target is me.]
"Please..." her smart eyes exuded moisture. She took a tentative step forward and carefully tested the bottom line of distance: "my father is still waiting for me to go back at home. Without me, he would die..."
[how far is Davao village from mivila?] the suffocating silence turns sadness into joy under the dark red words floating one by one in the air.
"Not far! There are only four distances."
[do you ride a beast?] wearing a washed white dress, it's not like you can afford an expensive horse.
"No... I came on foot." the girl whispered in embarrassment.
[then we can only walk to Davao village.]
"But..." it's getting late. It's not suitable for travel.
I looked up at the dark night sky. The girl's inner thoughts were completely revealed on her face.
[it's better to travel at night.]
Left this sentence with unclear meaning. Victor stepped forward again. The girl was powerless to fight. He had to trot to keep up and give his name.
"My name is Feili. Feili March. And you, Mr. mage."
[victor.]
"Eh? Eldest son... What's the last name?" the girl who called herself Feili turned her head to the expressionless mage.
[my last name can't tell the living...] a chilly sentence immediately made her stop her curiosity.
Looking at the hanging door of the town behind her, Feili reversed her previous enthusiasm and looked dignified at the sunset disappearing into the horizon.
Mivila town is located in a hilly area, surrounded by undulating hills.
The winding Brown dirt road is like a twisted and crawling snake. On both sides of the road are covered with lush weeds almost as high as people. On this winding road, which depends entirely on people's feet, two people walk in front of and behind.
Fei Li followed Victor step by step, and the silence remained from leaving mivila until they met the strange landscape.
The rare open land is covered with more than ten small earth bags. The color of the soil is still very new. It is obviously just excavated. These mounds are like a malignant tumor, which makes the originally flat grass full of embarrassment.
Looking at the strange little earth bags, Victor immediately understood the reason for the disappearance of livestock and villagers - a spider monster took this place as a new home. Strangely, arachnids prefer hot and humid, rather than northerly areas like mivila.
But... Just this degree of abnormality is not enough to change its facial expression.
In the grass not far behind victor and Ferrari, there were two guys who had followed him since they left town.
The dense grass at the same height as people is very suitable for hiding. The two wanderers who thought they were acting secretly were found long after they left the city. As an undead, Lich has extremely keen perception of life. Especially in the sparsely populated wilderness.
"There seems to be something behind..." Fei Li's panicked tone exacerbated the atmosphere of terror.
[don't worry, just some beasts that don't pose a threat.].
It thought, it's a good place to do it.
Walking quickly towards the boulder, pretending to take a nap, is actually giving the stalker behind the opportunity to move.
Seeing the target stop, the two people who followed looked at each other, then made a gesture and surrounded the boulder from left to right.
It seemed that she was aware of the danger transmitted in the air. Feili looked uneasy and looked around like a very weak herbivore.
Under her puzzled gaze, Victor took out a bunch of purple grass plants from the magic pocket hanging around his waist and rubbed them gently in the palm of his hand.
The crumpled grass stems sent out a strange fishy smell, which was blown by the breeze and immediately scattered and fell.
The wanderer on the right stopped suddenly because his right foot couldn't move. Surprised, he quickly looked down. There seemed to be nothing in the grass, but the right foot felt wrapped by something.
Pick up the small stones scattered on the ground and throw them gently in the distance. The stones did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air. Through the faint starlight, the wanderer saw the black filaments looming in the dark.
Just then, there was a rustle in the grass. A strange creature came out of the earth bag. Felie hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and stopped the scream in time.
Monsters as tall as adult men have exactly the same appearance as spiders. They have eight strong feet thicker than human thighs. They have visible bristles on them, one by one like sharp barbs. The monster is less than 10 Turks away from Victor and Ferri sitting on the boulder. As soon as it turns around, it can find prey breaking into its territory.
The appearance of the giant spider surprised the two wanderers hidden in the grass, especially the one who had been entangled by spider silk from his right foot. He was closer to the spider monster than anyone else.
Smelling the smell of prey, the spider monster, whose nose is more sensitive than its eyes, collected the sticky web on the grass and tripped over the somewhat nervous wanderer. He quickly waved the dagger in his hand and tried to cut off the spider silk wrapped around his feet, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut off the highly tenacious mucus.
To make matters worse, the arachnid sensed the wanderer's struggle and secreted more mucus from the abdominal spinner. As soon as they encounter air, these liquids immediately solidify into highly tenacious spider silk and entangle their prey firmly.
The wanderer regretted that he had not cut off his right foot ruthlessly just now. He was entangled by more spider silk. He couldn't escape. He could only watch in despair as he was pulled to the spider monster a little bit.
When the shadow under the hood made him instinctively tilt his head, although his head avoided the sharp mouthparts rubbed against his scalp, his shoulders were not so lucky. The claws that pierced into the skin were injected with paralytic and digestive venom. The killer soon felt weak and soft, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
Struggling to turn his neck, he saw the young man still sitting on the boulder, looking at himself indifferently. For a moment, an idea flashed through his mind.
It's cloudy!
This guy knew that someone was following him. He deliberately sat in such a prominent place in order to use the spider monster's web. The black silk is too obvious during the day and difficult to detect at night. Even the killer who is used to wandering in the dark can't see every object on the ground carefully.
The venom is working rapidly. The wanderer can no longer feel the pain. His consciousness is gradually lax and his breathing is weak. The last thing left in my eyes is the sharp and terrible mouthpiece.
The sound of sucking was particularly loud in the quiet night. Fina retreated to victor in fear to seek spiritual and physical protection.
Another wanderer approaching from the left seemed not to see the tragic death of his companion. He approached the target attentively and carefully.
He waved his knife unexpectedly and wanted to finish the task as quickly as possible.
At the same time when the wanderer shot, felie, who was originally a little bird like person, suddenly took out a crossbow the size of a palm from the small bag sewn on her dress. With a slight pull of the trigger, the magic barrier close to Victor's body was broken by a special magic breaking arrow.
The two muffled sounds from front to back made the two attackers clearly feel that their weapons had plunged into the mage's body.
The rogue from the shadow guild just showed a happy face, and his originally ugly facial features wrinkled into a ball in an instant. Because he saw the young man stabbed in the chest, he only looked down at the poisonous dagger, and then raised his hand slowly and gently between his forehead as if he had nothing to do.
There was no heat between the pale fingers, and the slight tingling began from the place touched, like the wheat field on fire in autumn, and soon spread to the whole body.
The killer threw away the dagger and began to scratch his hands all over his body. His face was flushed, his eyes were slightly convex, and his low roar like a beast startled the eating spider monster. He put down the food that had been sucked into * human dry food and ran towards the boulder.
"The entrustment of Cohen jaradi... The Yellow haired boy really couldn't help it." the low, magnetic voice had no emotion, which made the other person who carried out the sneak attack pale in an instant.
Fei Li clearly remembered that she had cut off the man's tongue on the night two days ago.
Why can he still talk?
"It's just a preconceived illusion. The body really can't speak. What you hear is the voice of the soul." Victor turned his head and didn't move his mouth, but his cold voice was still telling.
Feili, who jumped back suddenly, watched Victor carefully and nervously, and raised her weapon - an exquisite broken magic crossbow.
"Good night, dark family." Victor bowed politely, which made Felix step back involuntarily.
"When did you find it?" the dark clan refers to the race that believes in the dark gods. She knew that the other party was referring to half of her dark elf blood.
"From the beginning." it was clearly a joke, but Victor said it without due lightness. The flat tone was particularly strange in the night full of killing opportunities: "although the smell of death is very weak, it is enough for me to guess your identity."
In the adventure guild, before the woman entered the hall, the Lich felt the smell of death from her and a special smell - the blood from the puppet corpse it attached to. At that moment, Victor determined that the well disguised girl was the killer who killed wood.
"Don't come!"
The invisible pressure made Fei Li aim at Victor's head with a broken magic crossbow. As long as he dared to take a step forward, she would mercilessly break his head.
"Meaningless threat." the indifferent tone accentuates the feeling that whatever you do is meaningless.
The spider monster climbed up the boulder and slowly approached the wanderer who seemed to be possessed by the devil. He was stabbed by the spider monster who raided from behind, gave a scream and fell into the grass under the boulder.
"Don't make a senseless struggle. You can't leave alive today."
Victor's hands overlapped with each other in a very natural manner, as if he were a devout believer, but the atmosphere of on-site killing and sacred prayer could not be touched at all.
"If you are willing to cooperate, I will let you die without pain. If you want to resist in vain, I don't mind cutting off your limbs or opening a few blood holes in you."
"Who the hell are you?" he is not Victor wood. His confidence and sense of oppression are very different from those two days ago.
Fei Li stared at the man in front of her, trying to find traces of disguise on him.
As if he had guessed what Ferrari thought, Victor opened his mouth and spit out the rest of his tongue. The newly healed wound opened the frost wolf killer's eyes.
"Miso!" the bowstring sounded slightly, and the broken magic arrow shot out.
Different from the previous sneak attack, the small Mithril arrow only broke through the first layer of the border and stagnated. It solidified in mid air and was blocked by several layers of magic defense walls.
"It seems that you have made a choice, half elf."
Victor took a breath, and the turbid dark black gas slowly spread around.
"This is the return gift of Buhe village, the touch of withering."
The spider monster, who was preparing to attack other invaders, stepped into the range of black gas, and its cold touch made it alert to stop moving forward. Fei Li looked distracted, and saw that the arachnid's body suddenly looked like a plant that had lost water. With a terrible and strange sound, it withered and shriveled rapidly.
Seeing that the spider monster turned into a corpse in an instant, Felix jumped down the boulder. As soon as she landed, her feet were suddenly clamped by something.
She thought it was another spider monster. When she looked down, she found that the wanderer who had just been knocked down was hiding in the grass.
He's not dead?!
There was no spare time to be surprised. After kicking hard, she couldn't get rid of it, so she had to pull out the short dagger she carried with her. As soon as she was going to cut off the hands that prevented her from escaping, the black fog with strong corrosiveness had caught up with her.
Two screams sounded at the same time.
Fei Li felt pain all over, her muscles seemed to be torn off one by one, and the air in her lungs was squeezed out every time she breathed. Watching her limbs turn into shriveled rotten meat, she couldn't help crying, and the lonely wilderness echoed with painful cries.
"If you want to end this pain earlier, say everything I want to know."
Panting rapidly, Ferrari squinted at the young mage falling slowly from the boulder.
Killers cannot reveal the identity of their employers, even if they fail. To betray an employer is not only to be removed from the shadow guild, but also to face the pursuit of bounty from other peers. This is a trade rule.
"I'm so sorry... I should have been softer."
He stroked his shriveled arm and touched the bark like skin. Victor's low voice made the rest of Frey feel cold.
"It's a pity that I don't know how to pity and cherish jade, especially for those who use tongue punishment." waving the dagger she fell on the grass, the blade with fluorescent green light reflects Victor's cold eyes, and the gem green is gradually changing to red.
"The reason why the dark elf's poison is so powerful is that it adds some... Very special things." the pale fingertip stroked the sharp edge and pulled out a slender blood mark. Fei Li stared at victor who tried his knife, unable to understand his purpose.
The poison quickly penetrated into the wound, and the nearby muscle tissue was soon destroyed. It also gave off an unpleasant odor while rotting. The unstoppable toxin spread along the blood vessels and soon made the whole arm swollen, showing a strange and morbid black.
Just when she couldn't guess what Victor wanted to do, her low voice sounded again. The magical voice was low and eager, whispering incomprehensible language. Feili was surprised to see that Victor's whole body condensed flash runes visible to the naked eye, which weakened the erosion of the black fog, smoothed the pain of his limbs, and no longer had the pain of tearing his heart and lungs.
Soon, she realized the intention of the mage to show this similar light spell.
The mage's arm was demobilized, and there was no scar on his smooth skin. Everything seemed to have never happened.
"No..." Ferrari shook her head and was afraid that she was about to face suffering.
Victor's always indifferent face finally showed his first expression tonight.
"Do you want to try? How many times can you bear the poison? Ah ~ please don't worry. Your body won't collapse under the action of magic until all your life energy disappears."
"I won't say, kill me." there was never a moment when she was so eager to die.
"Don't make a decision so quickly. It's still a long night."
The cold smile completely crushed the last glimmer of hope of Felix.
"You have no humanity."
"Miao Zan, just lack."
