Chapter 16

To the rear right, about fifty meters away.

Blacka opened his eyes and looked at the spear that shattered the wood along the way. It wasn't until the thing penetrated him and then penetrated the stones on the ground that he nailed it to the ground. A roaring sound sounded, and he didn't notice the overwhelming attack.

coming hostility.

"grass."

He heard the sound of someone moaning, and Blacka looked stiffly at the blond hair on the ground. The guy was still alive, the spear only penetrated his stomach, and he still had breath.

The scout took out a machete from his waist and cut off the half of the spear that passed through. He looked at Blacka who was dumbfounded and said displeasedly: "What are you waiting for?"

Blacka then reacted, ran over and cut off the second half of the spear. In this way, only part of the spear was left on his body.

"You go and notify the others, I'll try to drag that guy down first." Golden Retriever said this, took off the short bow from behind, turned to look at Anzola, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, and gritted his teeth.

But it was just gritting one's teeth, because indeed Anzola had nothing to do with him. The only target of the monster could not be her.

Blacka felt that her head had lost the ability to think, and she just subconsciously wanted to escape.

It was impossible to win, his subconscious intuition told him.

Because he had only noticed that guy for a short time, and now, he was nowhere to be found.

Being able to throw such a powerful weapon from a distance of half a hundred, and yet it only takes an instant to conceal the aura again.

If that is a soldier, he must be a legendary hero on the battlefield. If he is an assassin, he must be a killer who has been written into horror stories and makes people fear all day long.

Then he tripped and fell to the ground.

"Hey, what happened over there?" The guy who tripped Blacka pulled him up by his neck brace and asked loudly, "What's going on over there?"

Blacka raised his head and looked at the guy standing there - that was Andy, because originally there was not much security around the carriage, and most of their people were here.

He looked behind Andy again, and there was still Duoyan standing there. This guy was rarely joking, he was holding the crossbow and looking at it seriously.

"We were attacked." Blacka murmured softly: "One of the scouts was injured... He asked me to notify him, and he went over first."

"Attack? It shouldn't be, the guide shouldn't let us go to dangerous places." Andy said this, hesitated and said: "Is it a human?"

She said this, then pulled out her long knife and put it on her shoulder.

If it's humans, there's really no need to worry. Their team configuration is not something that just a random group of people can pose a threat to.

"Anyway, two knights should have passed by now." Duoyan said, "Did you see Anzola?"

Blacka nodded, and Duoyan didn't ask any more questions after receiving the confirmation. After looking at each other with Andy, he walked around Blacka's sides and approached the direction of the sound just now.

When they passed by Blacka, Blacka suddenly felt ashamed. After encountering danger, the only one who showed fear was himself.

Even the scout who was pierced by a spear showed no signs of panic despite being fatally wounded. Without any intelligence about the enemy, Duoyan and Andy still walked towards the most dangerous area without hesitation.

I was the only one who was scared and ran away.

...

When the sun went down, they set up camp in the black forest.

Because there is a guide, ordinary monsters will not come to make trouble. But they still feel the danger.

It's hard to figure out what the monster was thinking, as it never appeared again. And they didn't find the scout, and they disappeared into the dark forest together.

This was the first victim, who disappeared very suddenly and had no value.

If I had to say it, I just used my own life to express one thing - they were targeted by a monster. The monster even dared to snipe and kill humans from beside the undead guide, which was simply contrary to common sense.

Duoyan and Andy found nothing. It was as if nothing had happened around the carriage.

The traces were very, very clean. They searched there for a long time and only saw Anzola with a crow on his head.

And Anzola didn't mention what happened at all. He just told them to stop and camp where they were. The time of departure would be decided separately. But it was definitely not now.

Blacka took a sip of hot water and sat next to the fire, her pupils looking hollow as if she had no soul.

If I had followed the scout at that time, maybe that guy wouldn't have to die, right? The worst outcome would be to call the goblins, and one of them would be able to survive if he just contributed an arm.

But because of his cowardice, he escaped and the brave scout died cleanly.

"You don't have to blame yourself, your time in the Black Forest was too short." Duoyan said calmly next to him: "I was not as good as you when I was a newcomer."

This sentence is very empty, and no one will feel at ease because of such a thing.

Because it is true that someone died because of this. It was because of myself that someone died.

How can this make people feel at ease? This kind of rhetoric will not even have the slightest comfort effect.

"I can't feel that guy's breath, not at all." Blacka glanced at it multiple times, and then said softly: "If it hadn't made a sound, I wouldn't even know where that guy is."

"This is very normal. No one present could sense the approach of these twisted things in advance." Duoyan said: "You don't have to blame yourself. This is not your fault."

Blacka didn't say anything, just drank hot water silently.

Even now he is of no use.

It's night now, and the night in the black forest is really dark without any light.

Except for the fire in front of him, there was no light source in the entire forest.

Human beings are afraid of the dark, and everyone is the same. Especially in a place like this, monsters and monsters hide in the darkness, ready to drag anyone to hell at any time.

There are currently only two priests guarding the carriage, as well as Duoyan and Blacka.

Some of the remaining people were resting, and some were on alert. Although one person had died inexplicably today, no one showed much sadness. Because this is so common, there is no need to come here for such an excuse.

Do more protection.

"What is that?" Blacka asked softly: "Can monsters also use weapons?"

He remembered that they used throwing spears at that time, and they also brought many of these common weapons.

It's just that Blacka didn't expect that there would be things other than humans that could use it.

"Maybe it's just a rat man, or a group of them." Duoyan said, "That's a very common guy in the black forest. It's about a little over one meter long. It can stand and use simple weapons."

"Can that thing throw a spear like that?" Blacka asked softly.

He also knew about that kind of rat man, and heard him talk about it many times in the tavern when he was in his hometown.

But it is definitely not a dangerous thing. Relatively speaking, human beings can even defeat many with one. It has nothing to do with being difficult to deal with.

"This is a black forest, anything is possible." Duoyan replied: "Don't think too much."

Blacka was silent, took out the iron pot from the fire, put a cushion on it and ate the stew with a fork.

Eating, drinking, and sleeping is the only thing he can do now. Although everyone is willing to admit Blacka's excellence, here, he has almost no role.

Looking at the child curled up next to the sleeping bag and sleeping next to the carriage, he sighed and looked into the dark forest.

Of course it couldn't be the Rat Man. Duoyan and Andy also saw the traces of spears piercing the stone.

A two-meter spear is made of wood and is relatively light.

Such a thing flew for more than fifty meters, and even penetrated several gaps in the trees along the way before hitting the trunk and piercing the rocks.

Like a horror story.

"You missed a lot of good things along the way."

Duoyan heard Noah's voice. He turned around dissatisfied and saw Duoyan approaching the fire with an iron box - inside were some things that needed simple processing to be sold at a good price. At this time when people are panicked

, this priest is still focused on making money.

"We shouldn't have gone out on this trip. We have just left Qianya." Duoyan said softly: "Sure enough, we should still watch the time. There is no right time and place. It is my responsibility to set off just thinking about people and people."

He lowered his head, and after a long moment, sighed.

This was their first day of departure, and it would take at least seven days to reach the first outpost where they could breathe. He couldn't imagine what they would encounter next.

Already encountering the worst possible outcome, they were targeted by monsters.

"Haha, you can't say anything to death." Noah looked at Duoyan and said, "As long as we set off with the corpse of the pig-thief guide, we will definitely encounter something like this."

"You sound like you already knew."

"I have encountered a similar situation. You haven't realized that you have angered the god." Noah looked at Duoyan and said: "Your current behavior makes me suspect that you are not in the black forest at all.

A team that hangs out for a long time.”

Duoyan didn't answer. He had indeed been in the dark forest for a long time, but he didn't know everything.

"But you still follow us." He said softly: "If you have seen the risk a long time ago, why did you come again?"

"Let me keep some secrets to myself." Noah replied: "I don't like lying, and I don't want to make it up if I can't answer it."

"Are you from the human side?"

"I stand firmly on the side of humans, but you are so embarrassed to say, do you really think that all the people here are humans?" Noah's hand stopped for a moment and he looked at Blacka in the sleeping bag.

The guy woke up at some point and stared at the forest with his eyes open in fear.

"This direction is about twenty meters away." Blacka said in an almost trembling voice, "There seems to be something there."

Duoyan and Noah looked at each other. The former pulled out a handful of burning wood from the fire and threw it away. The open space was illuminated by the fire. Noah quickly approached the carriage, waking up and still resting.
