Kocar Village had become a dead village!
This shocking news suddenly began to spread in Blue Hill City and soon reached Niyingte's ears.
According to some mercenaries who often went in and out of the Greenland Forest, Kocar Village, which was near the edge of the forest, had become a dead village overnight. All the villagers had disappeared.! What was surprising was that everything in the village was well preserved, including food, clothing, and shelter, as well as the furs and skins of the animals that the villagers treasured the most. The only thing that could not be found was that there were no survivors.
From the villagers and hunters who were alive and kicking, to the hounds, cows, and sheep that were reared by every household, as long as they were alive, they had all disappeared. There were no clues or traces of them leaving.
Several mercenaries who passed by there were scared out of their wits, and they kept saying that it was strange. After running back to Blue Hill City, they directly reported the matter to the mayor's office.
Therefore, all kinds of rumors had stirred up Blue Hill City in a day!
Some said that some monsters had escaped from the forest, some said that they had been infected with some plague, and some were even more exaggerated, saying that some terrible evil had appeared there …
Just when the entire Blue Hill City was in a state of panic, Niyingte had already invited the few mercenaries into the camp to understand all the details in detail.
Soon, on the same night, these hundreds of Demon Hunter Knights suddenly left Blue Hill City and rushed like the wind to the Kocar Village where the mysterious disappearance occurred.
More than 40 miles of mountain road was nothing to the Demon Hunter Knights who were always on the move. Moreover, the ones who came on this trip were the elites of the Demon Hunter Knights from all over the world. Therefore, they were not riding ordinary warhorses, but a special kind of domesticated Demon Colt.
This kind of Demon Colt was much taller and more powerful than ordinary warhorses. It also had fangs and sharp teeth like the wild beasts in the forest. What was even more terrifying was that there were special scales on their bodies that were similar to scales that could resist the attacks of sharp objects.
The Demon Hunter Knights were rarely matched in this plane, and the Demon Colt played a big role in this.
However, this kind of demonic colt could only be obtained by the elite demon-hunter knights, so it was rare to see one in a small place like Blue Hill City.
It was thanks to the demonic colts' nimble, beast-like bodies and sharp claws that were adept at leaping and climbing rocks that the entire Demon Hunter Knights were able to rush to Kocar Village that was located halfway up the mountain.
By the time they arrived, it was already close to dawn. A ray of white light had already appeared in the distant horizon.
However, walking in the empty and dark village gave off a creepy feeling.
Most of the demon hunters stayed outside the village. Those who followed Niyente into the village were elites who had advanced to become spell breakers. Apart from being proficient in all kinds of knight battle techniques, there was also no lack of versatile people with special methods.
Dozens of torches, each as thick as a person's arm, were erected all over the village!
A few Demon Hunter Knights who were adept at tracking immediately began a thorough search and inspection of Kercar Village. Soon, some hidden clues surfaced.
A large number of strange insect molts and broken insect limbs were found. There was even a large number of torn clothes and some human limbs that had not been completely gnawed on in a thatched hut.
Judging from all these signs, Kercar Village was suddenly attacked the night before yesterday.
The direction of the attacker was vaguely pointing towards the northwest of the Greenland Forest. As for the attacker, it was most likely some kind of terrifying insect monster.
However, just as the elites of the Demon Hunter Knights gathered together to discuss how to track this strange monster, the Demon Hunter Knights who stayed outside the village suddenly let out a terrifying cry.
"Bug … Bug …"
"It's a bug …"
"Everyone, be careful …"
The clamor caused Niyente's expression to change. He leaped onto his demonic colt and charged out of the small village.
The Demon Hunter Knights who stayed outside the village were now in a panic. Under the illumination of the many torches, some of the knights near the forest kept stamping their feet as if they were fighting with something. Beside them, there were already three Demon Hunter Knights lying on the ground, motionless.
Niyente had just rushed forward on his demonic colt when he was stunned by the horrifying scene before him.
Scorpions, a large number of scorpions, a sea of scorpions, scorpions that covered the entire mountain …
The bodies of the three Demon Hunter Knights that had fallen to the ground were crawling with terrifying black scorpions that kept wriggling. The sounds of them gnawing on their armor and bones rang out incessantly. Two of the five Demon Hunter Knights who were struggling in the swarm were stung by the pitch-black stingers of the scorpions, and they swayed as they fell.
As for the remaining three, they grabbed onto ropes thrown out by their companions and were dragged out of the swarm.
"Where did these insects come from?" Niyente asked loudly.
"From the forest! They came out from the forest and ambushed us while we were resting … "One of the elite knights who stayed behind replied in a loud voice.
"Set them on fire … Burn them to death …"
Following Niyente's shout, torches were thrown into the swarm like raindrops. Some Demon Hunter Knights even tore down a few nearby hunters' wooden houses, throwing the thatch and old wooden planks into the sea of fire. Accompanied by the pungent smell of roasted meat and protein, the rampaging swarm finally showed some fear and returned to the forest like a tide.
"My Lord, look!" A Demon Hunter Knight suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Following the direction he pointed, Niyente saw a strange black figure in the depths of the forest where the swarm of insects had disappeared with the help of the ray of dawn.
It was a strange figure wrapped in a black robe. It was tall, and a pair of dark green eyes under the shadow of the hood was silently looking in their direction.
"Evil!" Niyente spat out each word hatefully.
There was no need for him to remind them, as the dozen or so Rune Bows were already fully drawn. Clang, clang, clang … A series of explosive sounds rang out as a dozen or so Flame Arrows enshrouded in a crimson glow pierced through the pitch-black night sky, turning the forest where the black robe stood into a burning wheat field.
The black robe's strange figure only flickered at the edge of the sea of fire before disappearing into the depths of the forest.
"Give chase!" Niyente waved his hand with all his might, and turned to yell behind him, "Edward, slow down with the main force. I'll take a few people to stop him!"
With that, Niyente and his seven or eight companions spurred on their demon colts and disappeared into the dark forest in the blink of an eye.
The red sun in the distant horizon was already halfway up its body, and the darkness in the forest was receding step by step.
The faint mist was dispersed by the rising sun, bringing a gust of damp air to the forest.
That strange figure kept flashing in the depths of the forest in the distance. Niyente shot a few Flame Arrows with his bow, but they were all evaded by him, and did not slow him down even a little.
The demon colts were like terrifying demons traversing the forest, climbing over cliffs and crossing over creeks. The demon colts only needed to leap over a small hill that was thirty feet tall, and their sharp claws only needed a little leverage to cross it. The demon colts could traverse even the most rugged and steep mountain paths as if they were flying and treading on flat ground!
These well-trained demon hunters crouched slightly on the back of the demon colts, following their leaps and leaps. They galloped through the vines, shrubs, and weeds that were as tall as half a human's height, chasing closely after the strange figure that flickered in and out of existence.
This wasn't because the demon hunters were arrogant and fearless, but because it had long been their battle style and habits.
On the Demon Hunter Continent, evildoers were few in number and were always the target of pursuit. It was very difficult for them to form a large enough force. Therefore, the demon hunters would chase after the evildoer to the death if they discovered one. They would rarely consider the possibility of an ambush.
But little did they know that as they galloped through the dense forest, a strange figure was following behind them, rapidly approaching from the treetops.
It was a group of strange blood-sucking bats.
They had wide bat wings and nimble movements, gliding nimbly between the tall ancient trees as they approached the team of demon hunters without a sound.
A veteran demon hunter stayed at the back of the team. The demon colt he was riding was a little old, so its stamina and explosiveness couldn't compare to his companions. After half an hour of galloping, he had pulled more than ten meters away from his companions in front of him.
With the demon colt's speed, this distance wasn't considered falling behind at all. But even so, it still attracted an unexpected and terrifying attack.
Although he didn't hear any sound, his years of sharpening his sense of danger still made him realize that something was wrong behind him.
He reached out to the hilt of his sword alertly, crouched slightly, and turned his head to look behind him.
There was no movement in the dark forest, and he couldn't see a single enemy in his line of sight.
Could it be that he was just being paranoid?
Just as he was hesitating, the corner of his eye suddenly sensed that something was wrong above him.
The enemy was up there!
Unfortunately, there was no time for him to change anything. A vampire bat that was gliding in front of him suddenly rolled down, its thin and furry body transforming into a young man with blood-red eyes and sharp claws in less than half a finger's time.
The young man who quickly turned around knocked the demon hunter knight off his demon colt, and the two began to fight and bite each other in mid-air. Before they could land, more blood-sucking bats swooped down and quickly turned into vampires, ignoring the demon hunter knight's struggle and pouncing on him.
