Mysterious journey

Somewhere in the forest on the border between Ennit and Kuwaitan.

The sky in the afternoon was dark yellow at the edge and black in the middle. It was covered with clouds and large black clouds were rolling and flowing.

The strong wind blew by in waves, causing the sea of ​​trees to rustle.

In the forest, a square square garden stands quietly in the middle. The garden is only a few dozen meters long and wide, small and quiet, with no one inside.

The interior of the garden is filled with rows of black tombstones, and in the middle stands a black spire, shaped like the tip of a pencil.

The minaret is dark, with dense reliefs of figures on the surface, and is surrounded by metal guardrails.

On the right side of the tower, on the green grass, Galen and Feng Chime were standing by the tower, looking up at the spire.

Both of them were dressed in black, but Garen's clothes were obviously much cleaner and neater. The wind chime was in tatters and looked a little embarrassed.

Garen walked in through the broken fence on one side, stretched out his hand and lightly touched the surface of the spire.

It was cold, somewhat like wood to the touch, and there were some hard and crisp shells stuck to it. A large piece fell off when touched, revealing a fat, light yellow flesh worm underneath.

"It looks very shabby. Are you sure this is where it is?" Garen looked back at the wind chime.

"OK!" Feng Chime nodded heavily. "This is one of the strongholds I know. They don't know that I was captured by you, so they shouldn't be transferred."

"Is it under this tower?" Garen asked again.

"right here!"

Garen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Back off."

The wind chime shuddered slightly and quickly backed away.

After walking less than ten meters, he saw a large black mist suddenly filling the place where Garen was standing.

The black mist turned into fog crows, spiraling straight into the air, making countless harsh squawking sounds.

Hundreds of fog crows gathered into a group and crashed down from above. Like a black hammer.

Bang! ! !

There was a dull crashing sound, and the ground on the right side of the minaret suddenly sunk completely. Everything within a radius of more than ten meters was smashed several meters deep. A huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared next to the minaret.

"Walk!!"

A sharp male-female voice came from the ground, and four figures broke through the soil on the ground, shooting out in all directions like arrows.

Garen snorted coldly, and hundreds of fog crows turned into a black stream, quickly surrounding the four people. A huge group of elements was drawn on the spot with him as the center.

The fog crow's speed was astonishing, with almost an afterimage, and it completely forced the four black figures back in an instant.

These four figures were all wearing black robes. The figure leading the figure could not distinguish between male and female, but he looked thin.

"Who are you!?" Sensing the powerful force field fluctuations around him, the man in black robes in the lead asked sharply, staring at Garen closely. "Do you know where this place is? This is one of the branches of the Black Sky Society! How dare you attack our branch! Do you want to die!?"

"The one I'm looking for is your Black Sky Society!" Garen sneered and waved his right hand.

Amidst the strange screams, a large torrent of fog crows rushed over and directly drowned the four people.

There are only four people, one of whom is a type three major general, and the other two are only at the school level, too weak.

The four of them had just summoned the totems. A giant black elephant, two giant dark yellow birds, and perhaps other totems were completely submerged by the torrent of fog crows before they were all released. He couldn't even scream.

It took more than ten seconds after the torrent of mist crows washed away. The situation of the four people was revealed again.

The four men in black robes had completely turned into four skeletons. All the flesh and blood seemed to have been corroded by something, leaving only white and clean bones.

There was a crunching sound, and the four skeletons collapsed to the ground at the same time.

Their totems were also drowned instantly in the torrent of mist crows. Only the giant elephant let out a long roar, and then turned into a huge elephant skeleton and collapsed.

Garen raised the pocket watch in his hand, put all the Black Mist Crows back into the pocket watch, and looked at the people and totems on the ground.

Then he looked at the increased potential points in his attribute column, and he immediately showed a look of satisfaction.

"Let's go to the next stronghold."

He took the lead towards the outskirts of the woodland.

Feng Chime showed a wry smile and followed closely, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the nearby woods.

*******************

In the pale yellow trees

The black mist is like a snake, constantly searching in the forest, changing into the form of a crow from time to time, and then turning into black mist again. Faintly visible.

A red bird with a fleshy head had just flown down and landed on a tree branch when it was swept by the black mist. The feathers of the red bird quickly fell off and turned into black ash, revealing the red muscles and skin underneath. Soon, the skin and flesh shriveled up quickly. In less than a few seconds, only the skeleton of a small bird was left, which snapped from the tree branch. It fell down with a clack.

The wind chime below had a wry smile on its face.

boom! !

Not far ahead, there was a violent shaking sound, and large tracts of woods were cut down, falling one by one. There was a swishing sound between leaves and leaves.

A white light shot out and turned into a silver halo above the woods. The light wheel shrank instantly and was about to disappear.

laugh! !

A black spike shot up into the sky from below and hit the silver light wheel hard. Immediately afterwards, there is the second way, the third way, and the fourth way.

Densely packed black spikes rushed out, accurately stabbing the silver light wheel in mid-air.

Finally, the light wheel began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Wind chime! You must die a good death!!!" An angry old woman's voice echoed from mid-air.

Silently, the light wheel completely dissipated and turned into large silver light spots, flying and falling one after another. Like raindrops.

Those protruding spikes suddenly softened and twisted, turned into streams of black mist, and flew back to the woods below.

Soon, with the sound of calm footsteps, Garen walked out of the dense forest, holding the Mist Crow Formation pocket watch gently in his hand.

"Do you know each other?" He looked at the wind chimes waiting outside.

The latter nodded.

"Continue?"

"The two people who escaped earlier were not caught." Garen said calmly. "What do you recommend?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. They're on the same level as me and they just came here at my invitation." Feng Ling spread his hands to show that he was helpless. "You wasted too much time in that library. They would have gone away long ago."

"Then next one." Garen nodded and continued walking towards the woods outside.

"We can only find the stronghold nearby. The others must have received the message and evacuated. We can only intercept them when they leave." Feng Chime reminded.

"You show the way."

****************

In the next three days, Garen and Fengzhong led the way and quickly attacked seven strongholds.

They were all secret strongholds of the Black Sky Society, and more than twenty members of the Black Sky Society were killed, including four elite members above the rank of major general.

They crossed directly into the Ennit border area and traveled quickly through the vast wilderness and forest.

But then, the nearby strongholds all retreated to avoid their hunting range. Apparently, the Black Sky Society finally reacted and determined their approximate location.

After many fruitless attacks, Garen simply let the wind chime lead the way, crossing the entire forest sea and inserting himself into the town area in the hinterland of Enite. Start to clear strongholds in human urban areas one after another.

***************

Near a town in Ennit, in a small birch forest.

White tree trunks stand tall one by one, and the ground is full of green lawns, mixed with some white flowers, and a few white butterflies flying back and forth among the flowers.

"Ansel, hasn't the target come out yet?"

Three men in black robes were standing in the forest. They were watching a country road outside the forest quietly.

"Not yet." A woman's voice came from the man in black robe at the front. She lifted her hood, revealing an ordinary, slightly plump face. "Why do we have to execute Navik? Can't there be another way?"

"What method do you want?" The man who spoke earlier showed a slight mockery. "Navik hindered the actions of our branch, which has already determined his subsequent fate. And we should be grateful that we are on the side of the arbiter of fate."

"Stop having such naive thoughts, Ansel." The last person said in a lukewarm voice, his voice was hoarse and his age could not be heard.

Ansel actually did not want to join the Black Sky Society branch, but she had no choice. Her husband chose to join. For the sake of family harmony, she had no choice but to join.

But soon after, her husband was killed in a monster attack. So she was left alone again.

She was assigned to this group from above.

She didn't like the two people in the group. One of them was cruel and perverted, the other was selfish and vindictive.

But she had no choice but to go forward. After joining the Black Sky Society, she also made many wrong things, but she could only continue to move forward hesitantly.

Now, because of a trivial matter, an old friend who has worked together for many years has to be assassinated.

Ansel felt more and more disgusted with this kind of life.

"I heard that a ruthless man who specializes in hunting strongholds has appeared in the border area. The superiors have attached great importance to it and set up a task force, codenamed "Hunting the Mist Crow." A general from our branch here has also been transferred. Do you know? "

The hoarse-voiced man in black robe started chatting in a low voice.

"Many strongholds in the border area have been withdrawn. I asked why the branch has a lot more manpower recently. It turns out that so many strongholds have been withdrawn." Another person said in surprise, "What is the situation now? I can still survive until now by opposing the headquarters. People?"

"Yes, that man is very powerful! It is said that he was enraged because he was surrounded and attacked by the people above. At that time, he arrested an elite member of the headquarters and hunted the stronghold everywhere as revenge." The hoarse man clicked his tongue in admiration, "Headquarters Although a hunting and killing team was set up, they still did not dare to go out, and now they are withdrawing again and again."

"Isn't that similar to the royal blood tower and the Azure Dragon Swordsman? The last operation to siege the blood tower also failed." Another person followed and praised.

"Anyway, I got the news from my cousin. To the south of the town of Mesende, past the Maple Leaf Bridge, there is a possible hunting area for fog crows. Don't go there if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

The two chatted quietly for a long time, and soon, the sound of horse hooves suddenly appeared on the path outside the forest.

The three of them immediately became quiet and hid in the woods.

Before the horses appeared on the path, there was a muffled sound in the distance behind them.

Bang! ! !

The ground was like an iron felt under a hammer. It was hit so hard that it almost started to vibrate.
