Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

late at night.

The world scars.

The night sky here looks a little different compared to other places.

It became darker, and even the stars seemed to be blocked by clouds and something. The dim time is realized, and the night here is darker than other places.

Also quieter.

A bonfire flickered in the dark night.

There were several large and small bonfires around here, and the people following the convoy were sitting around the bonfires in twos and threes.

12 vehicles used to carry goods formed a ring, surrounding everyone in a circle.

While it can withstand the night breeze, it can also be used as a city wall in times of danger.

After all, the vehicle compartment and the materials inside have been protected in various ways through protective spells.

Alka sat on her sleeping bag and stared at the campfire in front of her.

Some people around were grilling some meat over a bonfire, and some were sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating.

Because of their chat during the day, Putuo and his mercenary team were acquainted with Alka, so they gathered around a campfire together.

People around share a campfire, and most of them gather together in this way.

Putuo looked at Alka and said, "Don't you take a break? After today, it will be difficult to rest."

Alka rubbed the bonfire with a wooden stick, raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because the distance we walked today is relatively safe. After all, it is relatively close to the port city, right?

Most of the new recruits in some training will go through the city to train outside from time to time, cleaning up the monsters around them.

But the further you go, the less safe it will be, and it will be impossible to rest like now at night. Instead, we will be on the road day and night, and we have to take turns taking breaks in the car. "Putuo explained two sentences very patiently.

After all, Bai Tian already knew that Alka came to the world of Scar for the first time.

"Isn't it more dangerous to travel at night?" If it's for safety.

"It is certainly dangerous to travel at night, but if you stay in the same place for too long at night, you will be a very conspicuous target and easily attacked."

Putuo said as he picked up the small wooden stick in his hand, shook it and pointed at the people and cargo vehicles around him.

"It may seem like there are many of us, but you know. The breath of the abyss will infect those animals, plants and so on.

There are also those monsters from other ghost places. Many of them are brainless and will not care whether you are in danger or not. They just rush in and want to kill everything, so the longer they stay in the same place, the easier they become a target. "

Putuo said, and at this time another soldier sitting by the campfire nodded.

"He's right. The safe passage is too long. There are small sentry towers or camps at regular intervals. These camps can be said to be attacked every day, and there will be casualties from time to time." As he said this, The soldier also showed a recalling expression, obviously he had also guarded such a place.

It is said that the soldiers in this kind of camp are a mixture of escorts from the transport team and some new recruits or wounded from the front line.

Alka nodded, understanding.

"By the way, where is your destination this time? The transport team will only stay at the logistics camp on the front line." The guard looked at Alka and asked.

Their goods will stop about dozens of kilometers outside the city wall, and all the supplies will be placed there.

Every place connected by safe roads is a logistics camp.

The wounded, new recruits, soldiers who need rotation and rest, and various supplies will be stored here.

Then the logistics camp distributes it and transports it to various parts of the city wall.

"We got the Kavas defense node." Putuo said.

On the city wall, there are defense nodes one after another. These nodes range from large to small.

The so-called defense node is the gathering point in charge of a long section of the city wall on both sides. Specifically, it is equivalent to a fortress. There will be soldiers and supplies inside, as well as a command post in an area.

"I have to go here, the Demon Hunting Fortress."

The fortress node of the city wall is equivalent to a larger defense node. The largest number of soldiers will gather here, which is equivalent to a small castle.

It is also the most guarded location in every place, because it is the easiest to be breached.

Attacking from there is also the easiest way to invade the rear.

"Demon Hunting Fortress." After hearing this, Putuo looked at Alka with strange eyes.

"You're not going to find someone here, are you?"

Alka nodded. Looking at Putuo's eyes and the eyes of the people around him, he knew that there was something different about this place.

"What happened to the place?"

The soldier who spoke had a strange expression. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, he finally said: "It's regarded as the base camp by the demon hunters, you know. It's those guys who are a little gloomy and don't like to talk.

In addition, it is also a very important node and a fortress. We call this kind of place a meat grinder.

There will be demon attacks every day, and every once in a while there will be a large-scale siege by demons. It can be said to be a place similar to a meat grinder.

For most ordinary people, it is nothing short of hell. "

"Those demon hunters are all the remnants of this continent, or people whose homes were destroyed by demons and have a grudge against demons." A mercenary sitting next to the campfire said.

Putuo patted him and said to Alka: "My brother also wanted to go there before, but it's a pity that he is not strong enough."

Alka turned to look at a bonfire not far away. There were only two lonely people beside the bonfire, the two demon hunters who were following them.

He followed silently without saying anything along the way, obviously not very gregarious.

"Although these demon hunters are gloomy and not talkative, they are all people who can trust them with their backs. Moreover, they are very powerful and will kill demons without mercy." Putuo said with a smile beside him.

He also made two gestures with his hands and made an onomatopoeic sound of a knife blade with his mouth.

Then he stared at the wooden stick in Alka's hand and pointed behind him.

"You can actually move with the two of them then. They should be going here too."

Alka nodded, accepting his suggestion.

After chatting for a while, everyone began to get into their sleeping bags one after another and rest.

…………

"Roar!"

A violent roar.

Putuo, who was covered in blood, looked like a mad beast. Hairs as hard as spikes also grew on his body.

Wolf-like claws emerged from his hands, and he was like a bloody butcher among the monsters, killing crazily.

As he waved his hands, a large amount of blood and pieces of flesh flew out.

The appearance of the mercenaries following him did not change much, but their teeth also had fangs, and they had that blood-red aura coming out of them.

These mercenaries held swords or giant axes in their hands and slaughtered crazily among the monsters.

These mercenaries are like meat grinding machines when they gather together. They cooperate with each other to harvest the monsters around them crazily.

On the other side, a thick and long fire snake kept surrounding it, interspersing among the monsters. Every time it passes through and around, it will hit and ignite a lot of monsters.

Alka just stood there, with red flame cards floating around him.

These monsters seem to have mutated from wolves, but each one mutates in a different way, which makes people feel a little sick and uncomfortable.

These monsters passed through the flames and rushed towards Alka regardless of the burning on their bodies.

Looking at the monster rushing towards him, Alka waved his hand, and flames were generated out of thin air and ignited it into a ball of fire.

The backhand was to kick the monster sneaking up from behind into the pile of monsters behind. Then the monster kicked by Alka suddenly exploded, and a large amount of flames spread to the surrounding monsters like ignited oil.

Although mutated, the hair on his body is extremely strong and can be easily ignited.

The only pity is that these monsters seem to have no pain and no fear. Otherwise, Alka's flames could have even more exaggerated effects.

Alka became the brightest place in the entire battlefield, almost completely illuminating the night.

This was a late-night attack. Alka's convoy seemed to be targeted by a group of monsters while traveling at night.

This group of monsters attacked them without hesitation.

No one in the audience was surprised by such a sudden attack, and it was easy to deal with it.

Twenty soldiers stood around the convoy, and they cooperated with each other and easily resisted these monsters.

Obviously this is not the first time they have faced these problems.

And those two silent demon hunters killed monsters even more violently than the group of mercenaries.

When Alka stopped clearing the monsters in front of her, she was still observing them with her peripheral vision. There will be a gray-purple aura coming out of the two demon hunters, which seems to give people a bad feeling just by looking at it.

It's not that it's disgusting, but it has a rather permeating aura.

And I don’t know where they took out a two-handed giant sword that was taller than a person. Alka felt that the giant sword was two meters long.

Each swing can harvest a large area of ​​monsters.

The sullen-looking witcher fights extremely wildly, attacking in a wide range of ways, like the earth is shattering.

The gray-purple aura wrapped around the big sword, and the monsters that were cut randomly with the slashes fell to the ground as if they were seriously injured.

Alka felt something and waved his hand, and a fireball flew out and knocked several monsters away.

The mercenary who was rescued by Alka nodded and said thanks: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After a brief exchange, they entered the battle again.

Fortunately, although there are hundreds of monsters in this group, their quality varies.

Most of them are close to the level of perfection in the second stage, and there are also many individuals in the third stage.

But none of the people following the convoy were below the third stage. Alka saw that the weakest mercenary was in the middle of the third stage.

For example, Putuo is in the fourth stage and must have mastered a treasure.

The kind of monster he turned into should be the function of the treasure, and it also infected his teammates.

The captain of the transport convoy is also in the middle of the fourth stage, and he also has the treasure.

To put it simply, there is no one with less than three levels of strength who dares to run out of the city, and their combat skills are extremely superb.

Outside, everyone can be considered a strong person.

With mutual cooperation, only some mercenaries were slightly injured, and they were able to kill these monsters very efficiently.

As the last monster was killed, the mercenaries and soldiers skillfully took out various short knives and daggers. Start cutting up these wolves.

Only Alka stayed where she was.

"Why don't you harvest it, brother? These furs are still very valuable, don't underestimate them. I feel uncomfortable after being tired for so long without harvesting anything."

Putuo, who was skinning, looked at Alka who was standing there and said. Then he looked at the monsters in front of him and silently closed his mouth.

One by one of the monsters around Alka, they were all burned into various kinds of charcoal. It's nice to have fur, let alone fur.

The embarrassed Putuo thought for a while and said, "Although the most precious fur is gone, the teeth are also a rare material.

Some mutated organs are still very useful, but sometimes I can't distinguish them. "

Alka looked at the various cokes scattered around him and waved his hand.

"Forget it."

He thought it was too much trouble, and he was considered rich enough not to bother with it.

Putuo didn't force it, these wolf monsters were only worth a little more for their fur. After all, he was infected by the Abyss, so he couldn't eat meat at all.

Teeth and fur were the only resources. Mutated organs could only be useful if they relied on vision and luck. Compared with fur, teeth are indeed less valuable and difficult to peel off. It's not worth it if you accidentally hurt yourself.

He worked by himself for a long time, completely ignoring the mouths of those monsters.

At this time, a soldier came to Alka: "Friend, could you please burn the corpses of these evil wolves later?"

In the Alka battle just now, his ability of fire was clearly demonstrated.

Alka nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Just a little effort.

Seeing Alka agreeing, the soldier smiled: "Thank you for your help."

From the battle just now, we knew that the strongest among them might be Alka. He almost killed half of the wolf corpses by himself, and he was still willing to help the people around him.

It looks very comfortable and comfortable.

Without Alka's help, one or two of them would have to pay a certain price.

Therefore, everyone in the team became more and more friendly to Alka.

A doctor traveling with the convoy began to bandage everyone, and some mercenary teams also had their own doctors taking action.

Everyone is more or less able to deal with some simple minor injuries, and the medicinal materials are given free of charge by the team.

"Although it's just a few minor injuries, after all, they were scraped and touched by these mutated wolves infected by the abyss. There may be some weird virus, and it still needs to be treated properly." Putuo, who has basically completed harvesting the fur said.

Then everyone moved the corpses to a pile and piled them into a hill.

After finishing it, Alka's red card floated beside him and flicked it against the pile of corpses.

A fire bomb flew directly over and hit the pile of corpses. Then a raging fire instantly ignited the body and wrapped it.

Billowing smoke floated out, and you could smell the smell of roasted meat.

Seeing the place burning, the convoy began to move on.

I don't know when it was already bright.

"This smell makes me hungry." Putuo said, rubbing his shoulders.

Then he thought of something and looked at Alka walking over and said, "Brother, do you mind if we barbecue while we walk?"

"?" Alka looked at him with some confusion.

Putuo smiled and took out a piece of meat, clamped it with the prepared steel tongs and sprinkled condiments on it.

"You hold the fire and I'll bake."

Hearing this, Alka glanced at him speechlessly.

But he was indeed a little hungry. He raised his hand, and a bunch of gathered flames burned out.

"Oh, yes, yes, believe me brother, I can't do anything else, but this barbecue technique, there is absolutely no problem."

With good skills, he could still be better than Juanlu, Alka thought silently, but still controlled the heat.

After the roast was done, the roast was distributed to several people around him, as well as Alka.

Alka took a few bites and could only say it was pretty good, but not terrible. But compared to Juan Luna, it is indeed far behind.

Looking at Alka's dull expression, Putuo said: "It seems that my barbecue is not to your liking."

"It's okay, but compared to my companions, it's really not good." Alka looked at him and said with a smile.

"You are not alone, you have companions."

"Yes, they are waiting for me at Boulder Port. If we meet again in the future, I can take you to have a taste of his craftsmanship.

He can be considered a well-known chef. "

"A famous chef?" Putuo became somewhat interested, nodded and said, "No problem, you must invite me to have a try next time we meet."

Walking and chatting, we continued to move along with the convoy.

…

After more than a week of non-stop marching day and night, the convoy was finally reaching the logistics camp.

In the distance, Alka saw a fortress on the horizon.

There were a large number of soldiers patrolling around, and Alka saw various potholes around him.

The fortress covered a larger area than Alka had imagined.

It can already be called a fortress.

At this point, they were about to part ways.

"Good brother, I hope we can meet again in the future." Putuo led his mercenary team and said to Alka.

Alka also crossed his hands: "May the Holy Mother bless you and be safe."

Putuo and the mercenary team behind him also returned the salute and then parted ways.

There are also some guards who need to return after resting here, and they also know Alka.

After greeting each other, Alka learned some things and left.

However, he did not leave immediately, but found the two demon hunters.

I had had a brief exchange with them before, and they didn't mind. Mainly because Alka helped him once in the previous battle.

In just one week, they actually encountered three battles.

So the three of them walked together and started to move forward.

Arrive directly at the city wall through the troop transport channel.

Alka watched the city wall winding forward with no end in sight.

At this time, the height of the city wall where he was located was only about three or four meters, but the terrain here was relatively high. If you add the hillside below, it would have been twenty or thirty meters tall.

However, soldiers can be seen defending at regular intervals.

Silently, he followed the two demon hunters through the city wall and headed towards the right side of the city wall.

After walking for a while, Alka had a certain understanding. The height of these city walls would be different depending on the surrounding terrain.

It can also be regarded as saving materials.

Some will be cut off directly and rely on protruding peaks for defense. In such places, there are small supply stations or rest houses built on protruding peaks.

Sometimes one or two arrow towers would just be erected.

Through the city wall, you can also see the area occupied by demons in the distance.

Alka could see from a distance that there were traces of various battles in that area. You can even see some imps and inferior demons cannibalizing each other's dead demon bodies.

Even the earth is a scorching area flowing with magma.
