As the closest human city to the Greenland Forest, there was also a small team of demon hunters stationed in Blue Hills City.
According to the news from Vulture, this team of demon hunters had left the station seven days ago. After hiring some local mercenaries, they had gone into the Greenland Forest and had not returned yet.
This also meant that before their Magus team entered this world, the Demon Hunters had already been active in the Greenland Forest!
So Mary did not dare to delay. She quickly sent the news back to the wizard camp and informed Grimm, who was hunting monsters in the depths of the forest.
When he received the news, Grimm was leading his team of demon puppets to encircle a group of ogres.
This ogre tribe had a total of 27 members, including 22 adult ogres and 5 young ogres. The ogres were three meters tall, weighed 500 pounds, and had 14 points of strength. All adult male ogres had the strength of a quasi-wizard. Even the slightly weaker female ogres possessed terrifying strength that was not inferior to that of high-ranking acolytes.
If such an ogre tribe was left to the natives, it would probably require 300 to 500 fully armed and well-trained warriors to wipe them out. Even if the encirclement was successful, the team would probably have to pay a terrible price of nearly half of its members.
However, when this task fell into the hands of a wizard, it would be so easy!
If it was just a simple strangulation, Grimm would only need to send out the Lord of the Flame to destroy their nest. But if that happened, his plan to obtain a living sample would be ruined!
So Grimm only used a bottle of weakening potion to contaminate the water source of the ogres. Taking advantage of the fact that their strength had been greatly reduced, Grimm summoned six terrifying rock pythons and captured them.
An adult male Ogre had 16 points of Vitality and 14 points of Power. Coupled with the powerful regeneration ability of flesh and blood, with such abilities, he could actually contend with a slightly weaker Quasi Sorcerer in Body Refinement. Unfortunately, when they were contaminated by the weakening potion that was specially formulated for their race, their vitality and strength both dropped to 10 points. Their strength was greatly reduced.
On the other hand, the Quasi Wizard Level Rock Python Devil Centipedes had 16 points of Strength and 18 points of Physique. When the ogres were infected one after another, they all came out of their nests. He didn't attack the enemies and just used his rock-like body to force all the Ogres together.
Only then did Grimm appear, using the Secret Voodoo Scroll to cast a Sleeping Spell. The 27 Ogres fell to the ground, the thick wooden sticks and stone clubs in their hands smashing into the ground, creating shallow pits.
After instructing the Rock Python to open its huge mouth and swallow the sleeping Ogres one by one, Grimm finally had the time to deal with the information stored in the communication crystal.
Demon hunting squad … entered 7 days ago …
This information also attracted Grim's attention.
Calculating the time, the Demon Hunters had entered the Greenland Forest even before the Sorcerers arrived. Therefore, it was very likely that their goal was not the sorcerer camp, but another mission.
It couldn't be that some native spellcasters were hiding in the Greenland Forest and attracted the Demon Hunters, right? Although this idea was a little absurd, Grimm's guess was probably correct based on the class characteristics of the Demon Hunter Knights!
Therefore, while sending the captured Ogres back to the camp, Grimm summoned 10 Wind Breath Monsters and quickly scattered into the surrounding forest, looking for the traces of the Demon Hunters.
The Wind Breath Monsters were low-tier Monster Centipedes that Grimm created using a Wind Beginner Crystal Core. They were relatively weak and looked like a whirlwind about a meter tall. Their strength, vitality, and mental strength were all below 5 points, but their combat ability was extremely weak. However, the only good thing about them was their high agility and the ability to fly.
In fact, that was not a problem. It would be strange if a small whirlwind formed from green air could not fly!
Grimm attached a strand of his mental power to each of the 10 Wind Breath Monsters before releasing them. When they silently flew above the treetops, their green bodies were almost able to blend into the blue sky, and it was not easy to attract the attention of the enemy.
That was why they were specially created by Grimm to act as flying sentinels!
10 Wind Breath Monsters meant 10 different mental perspectives, and at the same time, the information they sent back was also massive. With Grimm's mental strength alone, he might only be able to vaguely track them using his vision. However, with the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm did not waste his mental strength on directing the Wind Breath Monsters' flight path. Instead, he handed everything over to the A.I. Chip.
The A.I. Chip commanded the Wind Breath Monster to search and investigate the area above the forest, using the most optimal flight path to search the largest area. All Grimm had to do was find a safe place to rest and wait for the A.I. Chip to bring him good news.
As night fell, the A.I. Chip brought him good news.
The team of Demon Hunters had been found!
… …
In a col 80 miles away from the Magus camp, four bonfires were lit.
Even though there were many dangerous monsters in the forest that were not afraid of fire and would even be attracted by light, the knights who had trudged for tens of miles needed these.
The mercenaries quickly set up their tents and sat around the bonfires, preparing a sumptuous dinner for themselves.
A wild boar they had caught on the road was skinned and gutted. It was washed in a small stream, then skewered on a wooden stick and slowly roasted over the bonfire. The experienced mercenaries spun the wooden stick and used a brush to evenly spread the sauce and spices on the boar.
The golden brown boar meat continuously dripped with amber-like grease, sizzling as it dripped onto the charcoal fire. A rich aroma filled the air.
The entire camp was filled with the joy of a great victory!
The mercenaries were busy in the camp, while the 13 knights of the demon hunting squad helped each other to remove the heavy armor on their bodies and treated their injuries.
Today, they successfully found the evil lair hidden in the depths of the Greenland Forest and trapped seven evil spellcasters inside. After a fierce battle, they successfully killed six evil spellcasters and captured one alive. Although the Knight Squad was injured, there were no heart-wrenching deaths. This undoubtedly made the leader of the Knight Squad heave a sigh of relief.
As for the four auxiliary mercenaries who died in the battle, they were never included in the list of casualties by the leader of the Knight Squad. These mercenaries were greedy for money. As long as the remaining gold coins were given to them, these mercenaries would only be grateful and would never be dissatisfied.
Mercenaries had been doing the most dangerous work since ancient times!
So ever since they accepted the employment in Blue Hill City, they had long been aware that they could not return smoothly. Now that they had successfully completed the mission, the Knight Squad had promised them generous rewards. Therefore, the pain of losing four teammates was quickly replaced by the desire for a better life in the future.
The camp was filled with cheers and laughter, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement.
In sharp contrast to the knights and mercenaries, there was a thin figure with his hands and feet tightly tied. Seriously speaking, he was just a teenager who had not yet reached adulthood! Long-term malnutrition made his body look extremely thin. Under the broken gray robe, his abdomen was thin, revealing ribs.
His exposed skin was full of blue-black ecchymosis and countless small scars. A rope was tied from his mouth, and a rough gravel was stuffed inside. These were used to prevent him from casting spells secretly!
He could not cast spells or use hand gestures. This made him, who had just awakened that strange power, completely lose the ability to resist. He could only lean his body against a tree root and glare at every smiling face in the camp with a hateful gaze.
These were all his enemies!
It was this group of people who forced him to have no fixed place to live, making it difficult for him to return home. He could only wander like a lonely ghost in the deserted mountains and forests all day long. If it wasn't for a kind "companion" who lured him into the forest hut, he was afraid that his ultimate fate would be to become a delicious meal in the mouth of some wild beast in the Greenland forest!
Unfortunately, the peaceful days did not last long. The forest camp built by a few wandering spellcasters was destroyed by the demon hunters who followed them. And his companions, the companions that he had been with for half a year, fell under the swords of the knights.
The knights were the murderers, and these mercenaries were the accomplices!
Looking at their smiling faces, it was as if a ball of fire was ignited in his heart. Anger, sorrow, hatred … These extreme emotions slowly flowed through his heart, and he clenched his teeth to not let the tears flow out.
As long as I have a chance to escape, I will use the cruelest and craziest means to kill each and every one of them!
He roared crazily in his heart, but he knew that it was just his delusion.
Immediately after, the thought of despair engulfed his soul!
At this extremely torturous moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head in surprise. His eyes stared at a certain place in the sky above the camp.
There was something strange there!
This … This was the unique elemental fluctuation of the wind element!
In the sky above the noisy campsite, in the dark night sky, there was clearly nothing there. But this young man, with his awakened elemental talent, sensed a special gathering of wind element there.
A natural gathering of elements? Impossible!
Because there was nothing unusual there half a quarter of an hour ago. It was impossible for the wind element to gather there for no reason!
But in the next second, the young man clenched his teeth to prevent himself from screaming.
Because there were three special gathering points of wind element in the sky, and they were slowly swimming there.
It seemed … as if they were investigating something!
There's a change! This camp is going to change soon!
The young man's eyes lit up with hope, and he began to observe the surroundings of the camp quietly.
