Chapter 0177: Luring the Enemy

Kokar Village has become a dead village!

This heavy news suddenly began to spread widely in Lanqiu City, and soon reached Niint's ears.

According to some mercenaries who often go in and out of the Greenland Forest, Kokar Village near the edge of the forest turned into a dead village overnight, and all the villagers disappeared! What is surprising is that all the items in the village are well preserved, including food, clothing, housing and daily necessities, including the villagers' most cherished animal furs and forest treasures, but all the living people are missing.

From the lively villagers and hunters to the hounds, cattle and sheep raised in every household, as long as they are alive, they all disappeared, and there is no clue or trace of their departure.

Several mercenaries who passed by there were so scared that they kept calling it weird. After running back to Lanqiu City, they reported the matter directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

So all kinds of rumors in one day made Lanqiu City precarious!

Some said that some monsters had run out of the forest, some said that some plague had infected them, and some spread something even more bizarre, saying that some terrible evil beings were lurking there...

Just when the whole Lanqiu City was in a panic, Niint had already invited those mercenaries into the camp and learned all the details in detail and comprehensively.

Soon, that night, the more than 100 demon hunters suddenly left Lanqiu City and rushed to the village of Kokar where the mysterious disappearance had occurred.

More than 40 miles of mountain roads are nothing for demon hunters who have been traveling all year round. Besides, the elites of the demon hunters from all over the country are the ones who came here, so they are not riding ordinary war horses, but a special kind of specially domesticated magic horses.

This kind of magic horse is much taller, more powerful, and more robust than ordinary war horses, and it also has fangs and sharp teeth like jungle beasts. What's more terrifying is that they have grown a special kind of scales similar to scales on their bodies, which can resist the attack of sharp objects.

The Demon Hunter Knights were able to roam the plane and rarely encounter rivals, and the Magic Pony played a significant role in this.

However, only the elite among the Demon Hunter Knights had the opportunity to obtain this kind of Magic Pony, so it was rare to see it in a small place like Lanqiu City.

It was precisely because of the Magic Pony's beast-like agile body and its claws that were good at leaping and climbing that the entire Demon Hunter Knight Group was able to rush to the Kokar Village on the hillside so quickly.

When they arrived here, it was almost dawn, and a ray of white light had already appeared in the distant sky.

But walking in the empty and dark village, it gave people a creepy feeling.

Most of the Demon Hunter Knights stayed outside the village, and those who followed Niint into the village were the elite who were promoted to the Breaking Law Knights. In addition to being proficient in various knight combat skills, these people also had many versatile people with special means.

Dozens of torches as thick as arms were inserted everywhere in the village!

Several demon hunters who were good at searching and tracking immediately launched the most meticulous search and inspection of Kokar Village. Soon, some relatively hidden clues emerged.

A large number of strange insect exuviae and some broken insect limbs were searched out, and even in a thatched house, a large number of torn clothes and some uneaten human remains were found.

Judging from these signs, Kokar Village was suddenly attacked the night before yesterday.

The direction of the attackers' coming and going all pointed to the northwest of the nearby Greenland Forest. As for the attackers, they were probably some kind of terrifying insect monster.

However, just as the elite knights gathered together to discuss how to track this strange monster, the demon hunters who stayed outside the village suddenly burst into a terrifying cry.

"Bugs...bugs..."

"It's a bug..."

"Everyone be careful..."

The noisy sound made the leader Niint's face change. He turned over and jumped on the magic horse, and rushed out of the small mountain village.

The demon hunters who stayed outside the village were in a panic. Under the illumination of many torches, some knights near the forest kept stamping their feet, as if they were fighting with something. And beside them, three demon hunters had already fallen to the ground, motionless.

As soon as Niyingte rushed to the front on his magic horse, he was shocked by the horrible scene in front of him.

Scorpion worms, a large number of scorpion worms, a large number of scorpion worms, scorpion worms all over the mountains and plains...

The bodies of the three demon hunters who fell to the ground were already covered with terrible black scorpion worms that kept wriggling, and the strange noises of gnawing at armor and bones were endless. And the five demon hunters who were trapped in the swarm of insects and struggling hard were soon stung by the black tail needles of the scorpion worms, and then staggered and fell down.

As for the remaining three, they grabbed the ropes thrown by their companions and were fortunately dragged out of the swarm of insects.

"Where did these insects come from?" Niyingte asked loudly.

"In the forest! They came out of the forest and attacked us while we were resting..." an elite knight who stayed behind answered loudly.

"Set fire... burn them to death with fire..."

As Niint shouted loudly, torches were thrown into the swarm of insects like raindrops. Some demon hunters even demolished several nearby hunters' wooden houses and threw thatch and worn-out wooden boards into the sea of ​​fire. With the pungent smell of crackling barbecued meat fat and protein, the rampant insects finally became a little afraid and rushed back to the forest like a tide.

"My lord, look!" A demon hunter suddenly exclaimed loudly.

Following the direction his arm pointed, with the help of the morning light at dawn, Niyingte saw a strange black figure in the depths of the forest where the insect swarm disappeared.

This was a strange figure wrapped in a black cloth robe, tall, with a pair of dark green eyes silently watching this side under the shadow of the hood.

"Evil one!" Niyingte said hatefully word by word.

He didn't need to remind him at all, and more than a dozen rune bows had been pulled into full circles. Clang clang clang... a series of bowstring explosions, more than a dozen flaming arrows with bright red halos pierced the dark night sky, and the forest where the black robe stood was inserted into a burning wheat field.

And the strange figure in the black robe only flashed at the edge of the sea of ​​fire, and then disappeared in the depths of the forest.

"Chase!" Niyingte waved his hand vigorously, turned his head and shouted to the back: "Edward, you lead the main force to slow down, I will take a few people to stop him first!"

After that, Niyingte and seven or eight companions urged the magic horse under their crotch, and disappeared in the dark forest in an instant.

The red sun in the distant sky has jumped out of half of its body, and the darkness in the mountains and forests is retreating step by step.

The light mist was dispelled by the morning sun, bringing a humid air to the forest.

The strange figure has been flashing in the depths of the distant mountains and forests. Niyingte's flaming arrows shot by the bow were all dodged by him alertly, but it did not slow down its speed.

The magic horses are like terrible demons shuttling through the forest, climbing rocks and crossing walls, crossing streams and ravines. A small hill three meters high, the magic horse leaped, and the sharp claws only needed a little leverage to climb over it. No matter how rugged and steep the mountain road is, the magic horse can fly over it as if it were walking on flat ground!

These well-trained demon hunters leaned down slightly, crawled on the back of the demon horse, followed its leaps and leaps, and ran quickly in the forest full of vines, bushes, and weeds half a person high, closely chasing the strange figure that appeared and disappeared.

This is not the reason why the demon hunters are arrogant and fearless, but their fighting style and habits have been like this for a long time.

In the demon hunting continent, the number of evil people is rare, and they are always the target of hunting and attack. It is difficult to gather a large enough force. So as long as the evil people are found, the demon hunters will hunt them to death, and rarely consider boring questions such as whether the other party has an ambush.

However, they didn't know that when they were riding their horses quickly in the dense forest, a strange figure was attached to the end of the team, approaching quickly from the top of the tree.

This is a group of strange vampire bats.

They have wide bat wings and flexible movements. They glide flexibly between the tall and impenetrable ancient trees and approach the demon hunter team silently.

The veteran demon hunter who stayed at the end of the team was a veteran. The demon horse he drove was a little older, so he could not match his companions in physical fitness and explosive power. After half a quarter of an hour of galloping, he and his companions in front of him opened up a distance of more than ten meters.

With the speed of the demon horse, this distance could not be called falling behind. But even so, it still attracted an unexpected and terrible attack for him.

Although he did not hear any sound, the danger alertness honed by years of honing still made him realize that something was wrong behind him.

He reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword alertly, leaned down slightly, turned his head and looked back with half his body sideways.

There was no movement in the dark forest, and there was no enemy figure in sight.

Could it be that the warning sign that just passed through my heart was that I was too suspicious?

While he was hesitating, he suddenly sensed something wrong above his head from the corner of his eye.

The enemy is above!

Unfortunately, he could not change anything. A vampire bat that slid in front of him suddenly rolled down, and its hairy and thin body turned into a young man with blood-red eyes and sharp claws in less than half a second.

The young man who turned back quickly knocked the demon hunter knight off the magic horse, and the two of them started fighting and biting each other madly in mid-air. Without waiting for them to land, more vampire bats swooped down, quickly transformed into vampires, and threw themselves directly on him regardless of the demon hunter knight's struggle.

In just a dozen seconds, under the crazy siege of five or six vampires, the demon hunter knight was sucked dry of blood and died. At this time, the demon hunter knight who was closest to him could vaguely hear the sound of crazy beating and biting behind him while running fast. When he turned around, he was shocked to see a rapidly growing fangs and sharp mouth.
