Chapter 418
The guide's eyelids droop.
The thin body swayed left and right on horseback.
I glanced at the huge and weird statue and said, "This thing is in the Enfimund Mountains, there are a lot of them.
But I heard some Old Guy say , It’s best not to touch them.
Otherwise, you will be bad luck.
Unfortunately."
The horses carried Vera and walked slowly under the statue.
The girl lifts the head, two frightening faces frozen on the stone sculpture, passing her vision, frowning, and asking, "How did these things come from?"
The voice of the guide seemed to have not been awake, yawned, and explained, "Some people say that they are the people who disappeared mysteriously many years ago.
Because they offended Hydria’s Power of Darkness.
I was sealed alive inside.
I heard that they are sacrifices selected by the townsfolk of Hydria.
Use Come to worship the gods of hell they believe in.
But what is the real situation... I am afraid that only the people who made these statues will know."
Three hours later.
Trekking on rugged mountain roads for a long time made Vera and Hardy very uncomfortable with the bumps of riding.
Fortunately, there is an abandoned military post not far away.
The four are going to rest there for a while.
The military post is very shabby.
Very pre-revolutionary army style.
Military green felt tent.
The collapsed wooden sentry.
The basic perimeter defense built by Tribulus Terrestris and Juma.
Although these things have been eroded by the years and cannot be used, fortunately, the position of the post is on a flat clearing.
Can make a fire.
Perhaps the experience of the massacre in Bath has left an indelible shadow in Hardy's heart.
Sitting on the ground, while eating, the little man glanced at his watch from time to time, browsed tightly knit, and said, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon...Why is the fog still not clearing?"
Vera wrapped a thin blanket around her coat and approached the campfire, trying to warm her frozen body.
The guide swallowed a big mouthful of the hot canned peas and explained, "The winter in the Enfimund Mountains is like this, except for you demon-hunters who are not afraid of death.
No one in the nearby village dares to enter the mountain at this time.
I didn't mean to scare you. Even without Hydria, many people die in this mountainous area every year. Look around.
If you fall accidentally, no one can save you."
Compared with the high mountains of inland countries, the vertical height of the Enfimund Mountains is only less than 400 meters.
But the steep sheer cliffs and precipitous rock faces are more than enough to fall a person to death.
Enough to eat and drink.
The guide belched a full burp, patted the dirt on his butt and got up, said with a smile, "I'll go nearby for convenience and come back soon."
Cole motioned to Hardy to be with him past.
To prevent this cunning guy from taking money to run away.
Secondly, in such a ghost place as the Enfimund Mountains, heaven knows whether he will die unfathomable mystery in his own excrement.
After the two left.
Vera was holding the can, staring at the campflame hair blankly, as if thinking about something.
Until a burst of wild beast growls, abruptly ringing in the fog.
The girl suddenly looked up.
Throw away the can, and the right hand grabbed the long knife beside him.
The blanket slid down and turned around quickly.
Remove the scabbard and hold the handle horizontally in front of you.
Suddenly.
A very fast black shadow swept through the depths of the fog at a speed that naked eye could hardly capture.
At the same time.
When the animals are running, the gravel rolls, and the sound of dead branches breaking, one after another.
Vera frowned, moved carefully and backed up.
"Captain, there is something with us..."
The words are not finished.
A black shadow suddenly breaks through the mist!
The girl’s pupils reflected a wild beast of a ferocious face, a mouth with sharp fangs, and a smelly salivation flowing fiercely at her!
The moment of life and death.
Vera's pupils contracted suddenly.
The right hand holding the long knife tightly, the joints turn white.
The long knife is stuck in front of the neck.
Bang——!
It is like encountering a car driving at full speed.
The terrifying impact instantly knocked her to the ground!
The long knife dropped his hand and fell to the ground.
groaned.
At the mouth of the humanoid wild beast, the moment she tried to bite her.
The female demon-hunter has a fierce expression and roars, her left forearm is in front of her, forcibly blocking her opponent's mouth, freeing her right hand, and the Hidden Blade pops out.
Incomparably brutally penetrated into the side face of the dark creature, exhausted all strength, and cut backwards suddenly!
Puff——
Spattered sticky black blood that smelled like a corpse, splattered on her face.
The mouth and back of the dark creature were completely separated in an instant, losing vitality and pressing on her body.
Push the corpse away hard.
The sharp pain in her left arm made her browse tightly knit.
Get up.
Hurry up to see where Cole is.
I happened to bump into a long knife, piercing through the skull of the dark creature, flowing thick black blood, and stopped in front of her.
Cole pulled out the long knife, glanced at Vera, looked all around, frowned, said solemnly, "ghoul..."
tone barely fell.
I heard three consecutive gunshots in the fog not far away, followed by Hardy's anger, "Damn--!"
Vera glanced at Cole.
Hurry up to the place where the sound is coming from.
I saw Hardy brow beaded with sweat, with two ghoul corpses with broken heads behind his feet, half kneeling on the ground, and blocking the guide with his hands only half of his neck.
The blood is flowing crazily.
I can't save it.
Hardy got up.
Shake off the blood from his hands, kicked Ghoul’s body away, and fiercely stepped on the opponent’s head that had been smashed by bullets, and said angrily, "I’ll just light a cigarette, you Damn..."
Vera who ran over, frowned when seeing the corpse of the guide they finally hired on the spot.
Lost the guide.
In this kind of foggy weather, let alone continue to go deep into Hydria, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to return the same way.
Moreover.
There is one more thing that makes her very puzzled.
How could ghoul appear in such a place?
Such level 2 or level 3 dangerous dark creatures usually only appear in battlefields or abandoned cemeteries.
Unless...there are a large number of corpses in the mountains of Enfimund?
At this point, they didn't get any information from the intelligence and files provided by Rolando before they set off.
Covering the injured left forearm, ghoul's corrosive saliva made the wound tingling unbearable.
Hardy hears footsteps.
Seeing Vera’s left hand dripping blood continuously, she hurriedly walked over, grabbed the girl’s wrist, her eyes fell on the bite marks that gradually turned black hair, and looked straight at Vera’s eyes, said solemnly, "It's not a joke to be bitten by ghoul, Vera."
The more intense pain, the girl's expression gradually became painful, she gritted her teeth and said, "I know, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, it will I can only chop off the injured arm.
Go back first."
The little man looked back at the already dead guide, pulled out his gun, and walked over to his head and continued to make repairs. After three shots, they returned to the camp with Vera.
