Chapter 67: The Old Ones 1(1/2)

Chapter 67

The white mist still hasn't dissipated and is as thick as a colloid.

Blacka followed Bai Ling's instructions and opened a hole in the tree with the dagger in his hand, looking at the tree trunk that was riddled with holes inside.

Unlike other trees, this tree has completely turned into a nest of insects.

The big tree was set on fire, and the fire snakes circled the trunk and licked the strings.

It was too late for the bugs still inside to escape. The entire tree started to twist due to the flames inside, causing the residents to escape, and exuded the stench of roasted meat.

"It's a big job to burn them all one by one." Blacka said softly, looking around in the flames.

About one out of every seven or eight bugs will be used as a nest by insects, turning it into a lodging cave from the inside out.

"This will anger that guy." Bailingn paused and said, "We just have to wait for that guy to get impatient and come to us."

Blacka nodded and watched the fire burning in front of her eyes.

This was the third hour they entered the extremely high-risk area and found nothing.

The previous expeditions that came here were all wiped out, with no survivors at all. This made Wu Ming think that they would encounter enemies as soon as they entered.

Three hours later, they visited almost every place here, but found nothing.

This made Wu Ming start to feel anxious.

They misjudged the enemy from the first step. The opponent seemed not to be a so-called group at all, but an individual who could go around with them in such a place.

This situation was completely unexpected. If the guy hid in a dark place after sensing danger, then it would be impossible for them to find him in this fog.

They started to disperse, Blacka and Bai Ling, Wu Ming and Noelya. An hour and a half later, they were at an appointed place.

At the same time, burn the fully infected trees along the road according to the markings made when you came.

Five hours is the limit for their continuous exploration. If they go any further, as humans, Noelya and Wu Ming will lose their ability due to exhaustion. In that case, the completion time of the mission will have to be postponed.

But it was almost time to gather, and Blacka and Bai Ling still found nothing.

The place where the burning tree was located was the meeting point agreed upon before. Blacka couldn't find any decent traces, so he had to come over and wait for them.

But then again, is that really there?

Blacka thought this way, looking at the forest in the mist.

They found nothing, it was too clean here.

Except for plants and this rare nest, there are no monsters or human corpses.

This is not a place infested with bugs. It stands to reason that there should be twisted things everywhere.

It's clean and there's nothing here.

But Blacka sensed danger. Ever since he entered here, he felt that he was being watched.

Someone is watching me.

He was extremely sure that it was a human being, and this inexplicable feeling gave him a slight chill.

"I don't know much about this thing either." Bai Ling said softly: "White Wolf didn't tell me much about it, he just mentioned it a few times."

"You have been of great help." Blacka said, raising her hand to rub Bai Ling's head.

Just like Ghost could read the emotions from Blacka's expressionless face, Blacka also felt that she could feel Ghost's emotions.

To him, Bai Ling's true emotions seemed to be written on her face. No matter what this guy looked like, he could instinctively know how she was feeling right now.

For example, it's not very good now. Because they have spent almost five hours with no results, it makes people wonder if their trip was in vain.

Bai Ling had high hopes because she was the one who made Wu Ming confirm that this was a bug-related disaster from the very beginning. So during this trip, she was regarded as a magic weapon by Wu Ming.

But even she had no effect, so she rarely showed a disappointed look.

After Blacka rubbed her head, she looked a little less disappointed, but looked around curiously.

Then Bai Ling turned to look at himself, hesitated, and said.

"Do you know the person over there?" She suddenly asked: "He has been looking at you."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Blacka stiffened for a moment and slowly turned her head to look in the direction indicated by Bai Ling.

It was a human figure wrapped in a brown robe, and it was in the woods.

It's not that Blacka didn't feel this guy's aura, but he was confused with the plant - in his perception, it shouldn't have such a form at all.

Because the smell of this thing is like dead wood.

The moment the ax was thrown, it started to stir up wind. The airflow formed by Blacka's turning force even dispersed the surrounding fog. The trajectory of the ax could not be seen at all. It flashed as fast as it could.

The robed man and the ax disappeared into the woods at the same time.

What happened at the same time was a tree that was knocked down at the same time.

When Blacka encountered someone in this situation, he didn't regard it as a human being at all, and he attacked the moment he reacted.

He chased out, and the moment he stepped on the ground, he accelerated to a ghostly speed - the power poured directly into him even left cracks on the ground before him.

Unlike when he fought with Anthony before, Blacka is now familiar with his body and knows how to use this super-standard body to fight.

He found his ax almost instantly, but the ax just hit an innocent tree. The tree where the ax fell didn't look like it had been chopped at all, it was like a bamboo pole that had been hit hard.

There are cracks and shattered grooves from the inside out.

Blacka grabbed the ax and turned around to chop it to his side. He remembered the scent of the thing and it was now invisible in front of him.

But this guy still dodged Blacka's quick attack, but Blacka's pressure from the beginning was a series of back kicks. It didn't react to this, and it was firmly blocked.

The last person who received a strong blow from Blacka broke two walls and was embedded in the flour, and it was not much better. The whole person was knocked away, and the impact brought by it broke the trees and fell to the ground.

It rolled and hit another tree.

This time it is conservatively estimated that a bone was broken, assuming this guy has bones.

It slowly raised its head and saw Blacka, who was completely tightening herself like a bow.

He was about to throw the ax in his hand, and there was no way for this guy to dodge. To be honest, no humanoid thing has officially eaten Blacka's axe, so it's not surprising what it will become.

But when he was about to throw it out, Blacka was stunned.

He finally saw the guy's face clearly.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked. It was like a trap. Where was Blacka stepping on the ground? Under his feet was a cliff tens of meters deep!

He fell into a trap when Blacka was separated because of the face of his old friend.

Blacka raised his head in confusion. He couldn't find a point of leverage now, and he couldn't think of finding that thing now. He just looked at the guy standing on the edge and smiling at him.

Those were multiple eyes. He was still the same as before, with only half of his hair and the scalp with eyes on the other side. His mouth opened and closed as if he was saying something, but Blacka couldn't hear it.

Blacka couldn't fly without any help, so all she could do was try to figure out whether that guy had extra eyes.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth, probably from the injury he had just sustained, and he was smiling to himself, as if he was happy that his plan had succeeded.

But he didn't laugh for ten seconds.

Bai Ling held the broken tree and struck him on the back. This heavy blow knocked him off the edge.

Just as he was about to turn around and find a place to stay, he was hit directly on the chest by the tree. Bai Ling stepped on the tree trunk and fell with him.

It was as deep as a cliff. When they landed on the ground, the tree trunk had been accelerated to the point of being shattered. Along with it, the entire upper body of the guy's chest was broken, even dividing him into upper and lower parts.

Two parts.

Duoyan opened his mouth, but nothing came out. His lungs were completely gone, and there was nothing behind the trachea that was connected to him. He really couldn't say anything.

"Are these all still alive?"

Blacka said softly, he tried to stand up, but the pain from his broken leg forced him to kneel on the ground temporarily.

Although kneeling is not a good posture, it can help him recover faster from the injuries he suffered from falling from a high altitude.

"Blaika?" Bai Ling landed on the ground, looked at him and called his name softly.

"I'm fine." Blacka said softly. Although he was answering Bai Ling's words, he was looking at her with many eyes.

He was still looking at the sky with his eyes open. From here, he could see the cliff with no end in sight.

"Is that you?" Blacka asked.

He didn't know if this guy had extra eyes... That guy shouldn't be here. He took a big order and wanted to take the body of the thief pig guide to find the undead.

As long as he can come back, he can get the title given by the empire! As long as he can come back alive, no one will care about his inherent ugliness.

Duoyan shouldn't be here, he was vomiting blood. He was already in this state, please die quickly.

Blacka didn't know where the blood came from, and there shouldn't be anything connected to his throat.

The extra eyes were a lifesaver for him. Without his help after his battle with the mutilated bandits, Blacka probably wouldn't have been able to encounter everything that followed.

He had thought about thanking him properly the next time they met. If Duoyan needed help, he would help even if he had to work hard.

In any case, any kind of meeting will be better than this. Even if they haven't said a word from the beginning to now, the relationship between the enemy and ourselves has been clearly distinguished.

What should I say? What else can I say? They are still irreconcilable enemies. Blacka doesn't know what happened to him, but now, there is no room for adjustment between them.
To be continued...
