[Your friend is on the way. I'll disperse the fog, but you'll have to wait a while.]
Ken was tense.
His steps were weak, and he could only dodge in panic. Finally, he simply ran into the bushes. The soft soil could not shake, and he could barely stabilize his body.
"Who are you?"
"I am the butcher who took your life, the knife that cannot be avoided in fate!"
Luffy grinned, as if he smelled fear.
[Really, he can hear it, a southerner, is he a forest ranger? It doesn't seem like it...]
Ken was not asking about the wanted criminal.
Since the dodge just now, the maddening whisper appeared in his ears.
The note kept shaking, converting the sound into language, which was very vague. When the whisper disappeared, the text would also be shattered at the same time.
Can the note be translated instantly?
The harsh whisper was like a steel needle piercing the brain.
The more you listen carefully, the more you will fall into a kind of terrible madness, your vision will shake, and your recognition of colors will be biased.
Ken habitually thought deeply, but he almost fainted. In a trance, he even had an illusion that he was a plant.
[Am I too noisy? He was very uncomfortable. ]
"Shut up!"
He used the steel sword to relieve the force, and the folding knife fell on his shoulder, bringing out bright red blood.
Lu Fu couldn't hear those sounds.
He thought the other party was provoking him, and kicked the young man fiercely against the tree trunk.
"Shh, listen, I may have been a little fierce just now."
Ken spit out half a mouthful of blood, his bones were a little damaged, but he was explaining to the air.
"We can have a good chat later..."
He whispered softly.
The swelling in the brain disappeared, the senses returned to peace, and the real notes fell in front of him, with stable handwriting.
[The spirit is paying attention to you. ]
Ken had a bad idea. He put his hands on the ground and felt it was getting softer and softer, as if something was overturning.
Lu Fu was riding a giant beast and was smashing through the bushes with great momentum.
He suddenly saw the young man rolling to the side, and he was still scratched by the thorns. His keen intuition made him look up...
An old tree fell down with a bang!
Clatter.
Boom.
The loud noise startled a flock of birds.
The chaotic battlefield was paused. They were all surprised. They didn't expect the fight between the leaders of both sides to be so fierce!
Ken climbed up from the branches.
The back of his neck was cold, as if he was touched by someone. He turned around and swung his sword, but only cut the air, and the coolness flowed down.
"It turned out to be snow."
...
"Little beast!"
Lu Fu roared deafeningly, rushed out of the mud, raised his folding knife and chopped at the opponent's black armor.
"I have to say, it's an unexpected move! But you crippled my beast, you little brat, do you know how much it's worth?"
He kept cursing, and the shadows of his swords crossed.
Kane responded to his anger with his superb swordsmanship.
Luffy was forced to retreat, and his steel sword picked up the armor, leaving a wound on the side of his sternum, and the red blood stained the insulation used for warmth.
He blocked the knife with his backhand, and the two sides pulled away.
At this moment.
[Spell: Damaged Body]
Kane suddenly felt something strange, he knelt on one knee, and realized that he was blessed with some negative state, and screams came one after another in his ears...
The chanter's hymn was forced to stop.
The riders were seriously injured in an instant.
Their skin began to turn red, and black mucus kept coming out of their mouths.
Kane quickly drove the experience points to heal his wounds.
Luffy was a villain with a lot of experience. He knew that this was the employer activating his ability.
Spells need a medium to exert their maximum power, but at this critical moment, remote interference can reverse the situation.
The fallen tree trunk was arched.
The crippled giant beast revealed its strange skin, and the branch pierced its other head, and it just broke free now!
Ken gathered his strength and was about to meet a brutal collision.
Suddenly, a silver storm passed over his head, and the scarlet eyes made the mercenaries dodge hastily.
Fei Wolf King!
It kicked its legs, broke the branches, and opened its mouth to bite the neck of the giant beast.
The torsion force made the two mounts roll among the thorns, the wolf hair and scales were hooked, and blood splashed in the mud.
[Your reinforcements joined the battle, and the morale of the team rose. ]
The rain of arrows was like a curtain, piercing several mercenaries in an instant.
The wolf riders and winter horse riders rushed over, piercing the remaining enemies with axes and spears. The reinforcements passed like a gust of wind, crushing the remnant clearly.
Ken drew his sword and looked around, only to find that the mercenary leader who had seen the situation clearly had rushed to the side of the road, grabbed a snow lizard, and had already fled.
Kuima came out of the woods, covering his arm.
There were bloodstains on his face, and his entire right arm was soaked in bright red, and it was still dripping into the soil, turning into dark spots.
"Well done, your sneak attack and decision this time were both beautiful."
Ken praised.
The data of the followers has been steadily improving, which is a good thing. When he gets the magic and upgrades the troops again, Kuima can lead the team independently and cultivate long-range combat power for Santonkaya.
Kuima grinned and asked Zhan Jing to help treat his injuries.
His eyes wandered, and he observed the surroundings with his peripheral vision. He approached and whispered:
"It's easy for me to hide in the woods, but the enemy's archers are always blocked by plants. Coincidentally, a leaf deflected the arrow. Otherwise, I'm afraid you can only find my body with an arrow stuck in it."
Ken hinted him to be careful.
The wolf stood up and growled at the corpse, its teeth stained with the blood of the giant beast.
Ken climbed onto his mount, handed the cleaning of the battlefield to the troops, and rushed in the direction of the spell just cast.
The dirt road covered with frost, the wheel tracks were disappearing visibly.
The mist was hazy, and the outline of the [Yumi box car] gradually became clear.
"Ah, um--"
Ken had excellent five senses and could hear the vague sound of struggle.
He saw from a distance that someone was dragged into the dark forest. As for whether it was a vine, a tentacle, or some kind of illusion...
It was not clear.
Ken waited for a while, until the riders arrived and the mist gradually dissipated, then he went forward to check.
The packhorses and traffickers had all disappeared.
The reins were violently pulled off, and bloodstains were all around the carriage.
One of the dark cargo boxes was broken open!
Ken found a lot of food, two evil ancient books, and a small amount of potions and consumables inside.
[A sorcerer once hid here, but was exiled back to nature by the spirit. ]
A note appeared in front of him.
The word "exile" was an understatement, but the process... seemed quite cruel.
Ken came to the cargo box at the back.
"War Banner," the riders called softly. "You have to come and see this."
Everyone worked together to pry open the baffle, and many unconscious children were curled up inside, wrapped in sticky black lines, like cocoons.
[War Orphan]
[Status: Deep Sleep·Curse]
Ken recognized Lili's brother. When he carried him out, he saw a passage of text on the wooden board next to him.
[Sokonis, an ancient language from the old god era, has been forgotten by the continent of Oshua. ]
There were no signs of chiseling on this passage, as if it had grown on the wood grain.
["He had a heartbreaking dream."]
Not long after.
Ken returned to the old place.
Lili fell asleep in the warm black cloak. All kinds of fighting and killing did not wake her up.
Dew naturally flowed along the stems and leaves, dripping on the lips of the mute girl, as if the "spirit" was taking care of her.
Ken picked Lili up from the tree roots.
He also saw a passage of Sokonis under the cloak.
["She's very interesting."]
The strange sound never appeared again, but all kinds of strange phenomena made everyone nervous. They hurriedly packed up their things, counted the number of people, and returned to the camp as if they were escaping.
The dense forest of silence was far away behind them.
The mist was very light and looming, like a dozing fairy...
You couldn't guess whether the other party was awake...
or waiting for you to get close.
