Chapter 0011 Shocking the Snake
Today is not a good day. Early in the morning, Astali's blood axe slapped the table in the conference hall and roared angrily throughout the camp.
"Who? Who is it?" Astali? Blood Axe is a savage and strong man with a height of 2 meters. He is wrapped in a leather skirt made of animal skin around his waist. The leather robe on his upper body is half-wrapped and half-wearing, revealing his strong chest. The thick beard and body hair cannot cover the scars on his body. It is crisscrossed and the muscles rolled up. As the anger bursts, all the scars turned red, which makes him even more hideous and fearful. "Who attacked our three posts?"
The thieves who had just run back to report the news were obviously frightened, knelt there and shivered, and could not describe what happened to the guard post. The angry Astali? The Blood Axe shouted loudly, pinched the little leader and threw it into the air. A flash of axe light flashed, and the human body was split in half. The blood splattered on Astali's face, which made him even more excited and wanted to rush out and have a fight with the people immediately.
The bandits in the entire hall were all excited and clamored to find the murderer. There was only one thin thief Avr with a gloomy face, still frowned and thought hard. Seeing that the hall was really unreasonable, Avr jumped to Astelli? Blood Axe, pressed his arm and persuaded him: "Chief, this is not OK. This is very abnormal! The three posts are not close to each other and are still very hidden. They are all attacked, and there are not even those who come back to report the news. Is the attackers too powerful or the number of people that they are surrounded and cannot escape? We must figure it out and we cannot go out blindly!"
Astali? The blood axe suppressed his anger, threw away the thief Avr and drank: "What do you think you should do?"
"I will take a few brothers out to see and find clues. If there are many people on the other side, I will definitely find clues!"
"Okay! Let the bald man go with you!"
Hearing the leader clicked his name, a bald man came out with an axe and said, and it was one of the two level 7 berserkers.
The thief Avr nodded, greeted him, led a dozen of his direct subordinates and the bald man out of the camp, and headed straight to the small hillside post where the first to find something was wrong.
Li Xun stood on a treetop 1 mile outside the Blood Axe's nest. He just watched a group of minions running back to the camp to report the news. Not long after, he watched a group of about thirteen or fourteen people swarm out of the camp and headed straight to the direction of the small hillside post. In Li Xun's soul vision, the soul light of the two leaders appeared deep red, and it seemed that they should be the leader-level figures in the camp. His current experience value is (186/500). If he killed these people, he would not be far from upgrading. Humph, time will always stand by himself!
However, it is easy to defeat more than a dozen people, but it is a bit difficult to wipe out them all. Especially there is a Berserker professional inside. It is really hard to say whether his skeleton warrior can withstand it. It seems that you have to find a place to ambush, and you must act as the main force. You can't escape because of a pity that your magic power will cause you to escape.
...
Avul is worthy of being an old thief. Within 3 minutes of reaching the hillside post, he found that the mud behind the thatched hut was incorrect. With a command, more than a dozen men took action together, and soon five bodies were dug out. Avul quickly checked it. The one with the broken head was obviously attacked by spells, and the remaining 4 died of knife wounds. Judging from the number of wounds, the number of the opponent was quite large. In addition, there were many strange footprints around the thatched hut and the earth pit, which did not look like humans, but very much like the foot bones of skeletons! Skeletons... Undead creatures? When did these dirty bone frames appear in the forest?
From the scene, there should be spell casters and skeletons. Could it be that a mage summoned the skeleton and attacked several posts? "Summoning skeletons" is not a high-level spell. Many mages will master this spell for free labor, but the summoned ones are just the lowest-grade gray bone skeletons. A farmer waving a pitchfork can break two or three, which is even less than enough to deal with the thieves in the thief group, unless it is a reinforced skeleton warrior. The reinforced skeleton is the specialty of the undead mage!
Avr was shocked suddenly. Could it be that the fierce bone scepter in the south had sneaked into here? If those bone scepters want to do something to the Principal of Novis, there is really nothing more suitable than the whisper forest. Although the Avili Mountains in the south are also very hidden, the Duchy Army has stationed in various dangerous fortresses and is very close to the Avili Mountains. From this point of view, the whisper forest is far more suitable than the Avili Mountains. Once the Boys take root in the whisper forest, the wars in the south will attract the Duchy army to the future, and the here will immediately poke the butt of the Principality!
The deeper Avr thought, the deeper he thought, the more he became, the more he was afraid. The bones in the south were a big force, and they could not compete with a small group of thieves. No matter what the facts were, we must find the leader quickly and discuss future development. The Whispering Forest seems to be no longer a place to stay for a long time!
Avul never thought about the wizards of the Principality that that would not happen! Even if those wizards use the most gorgeous carriage, they should not be able to invite them out of the wizard tower, let alone whispering in the forest and burrowing the mud!
Avul suppressed his rapid restlessness and whispered and quickly ordered: "Take the body and go back to the mountain!"
The confidant beside him asked in surprise: "There are two more guard posts to see?"
Avr drank impatiently: "Don't ask so much, take the body and go!"
I found some linen from the thatched hut. Avr's men tied the body behind him with bitter faces, quickly cleared the laid-off post, and quietly set out on the way home.
The bald man asked impatiently, "I'm going back now? The leader asked us to come out and catch the bastards who killed us! Just bring a few corpses back like this, what should the leader do if he gets angry?"
Avr had no choice but to this rash man who only listened to the command of the leader, so he could only whisper: "Bald, don't be too slow, it's not safe here. You can see a lot of things from the corpse, and you need to find the leader to report it quickly."
The bald head shrugged indifferently and followed Avol to strode.
Turn left and right in the dense forest. Although there is a familiar path under his feet and a familiar jungle beside him, Avul is still a little scared. He always feels that there is a strangeness hidden in this familiarity, and there is a hint of hostility from it. Avul glances around vigilantly, and there is a voice in his heart that has been urging him to leave here quickly, but he cannot find the source of danger. Leave these people behind and flee back to the mountain village as quickly as possible? How to explain to the leader after he goes back?
Avr was almost tortured by this quiet jungle. Where is the enemy? Has his group been targeted by the enemy?
There was nothing wrong with it all the way, and most of the way home had already left. You could return to the parcel in three miles. Avr took the lead and walked at the forefront of the team. He raised his hand suddenly and the whole team stopped.
This is a familiar path. They just passed by here an hour ago, but now it is very different!
The wet mud was covered with strange footprints, the five-finger and footprints of the skeleton and the footprints of humans!
Avr climbed up the big tree beside him and looked around. Everything was so quiet and peaceful, and there was no one in the world. The forest was lush and the distance could be seen was limited, but there was no movement within at least a hundred meters.
Jumping off the big tree, Avul picked out three subordinates who were good at finding things and carefully went forward to check.
After a while, the three subordinates reported that from the signs, someone came from the direction of the camp and was attacked by two skeletons here. Then the body or corpse was dragged westward. No blood was found at the scene, and it took about half an hour.
Avul gritted his teeth and whispered: "You three lead the way, follow and take a look, and move less."
As soon as the team turned, under the guidance of three thieves, sneaked to the west along the traces left behind.
After walking about two hundred meters, climbing over a small hill, a thief returned to find the rolling mound.
It seems that someone in the clan village was killed again. From a time perspective, not long after his team set out, the clan village sent people out, which was the same route as his own group. Could it be that the leader sent someone to chase him and was attacked on the way?
Avul thought about it and still thought it would be better to figure out who was killed. He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to dig out the body. Five subordinates with corpses behind their backs were unable to move and stood nearby panting and alert. Avul and his bald head stood by the mound of soil and watched the seven subordinates dig.
