"Dried human blood … It seems to have something to do with the missing knight team."
Lucius found a dried blood stain on the wooden stake at the end of the bridge.
"The missing knight team?"
Although Han Dong had heard some information from Mia, he was not clear about the specific situation.
"Official knights are required to form a small team to conduct an 'outside investigation' around the Holy City every month as investigators.
Especially for newbies who have just joined the Order of Knights, the investigation outside the city is an essential experience.
Three weeks ago.
Due to the flash of blood, an ordinary investigation team received the mission to conduct a basic investigation in the Adelaga Mountain Range.
The investigation did not necessarily require victory in battle. They only needed to obtain sufficient information.
This team had carried out no less than ten investigation missions before they went missing. This time, they were only asked to conduct a simple investigation in the foothills. They were allowed to retreat if they encountered a dangerous situation.
But … they mysteriously disappeared while exploring the Adelaga Mountain Range. "
"Did they send back any information?"
"No. Since they entered the range of the mountain range, there has been no signal at all …"
Han Dong nodded. "Captain Lucius, do you want to return to the Holy City now or continue to cross the bridge?"
"We promised Mr. Black And White that we would escort you to the bottom of the mountain range. Naturally, we will escort you across this dilapidated bridge … Before crossing the bridge, let me remind you.
This 10,000-meter suspension bridge was not built by the Order of Knights. It was built by the pagans in the Gein Forest decades ago.
There is nothing wrong with the suspension bridge itself.
But the bottom of the suspension bridge corresponds to a thousand-meter ravine. If you fall, you will definitely die.
Later, I will be the first to walk and reinforce the suspension bridge with my ability. You guys follow me in turn … Lun Ze, you bring up the rear. "
"Yes, Captain."
Just from the fact that he was a "leader."
This Blood Knight had a unique aura of a leader that made people feel at ease.
When they stepped onto the suspension bridge, lines of blood immediately spread out from the soles of their feet and reinforced the broken parts of the suspension bridge.
As for Lun Ze, who was walking at the back of the team, he reinforced the suspension bridge with White Bones to ensure that the bridge would not break during the walk.
The team had just stepped onto the suspension bridge and had not walked more than 20 meters.
"Hmm?! A long-distance blood contract secret technique?! "
A murderous glint flashed in Lucius' eyes as he turned around abruptly.
Whoosh!
A blood needle between his index finger and middle finger shot out.
Lucius was aiming at the blood stains on the wooden stake at the end of the bridge.
Currently, a bloodshot eyeball had grown out of nowhere and was observing Han Dong's group.
Whoosh!
The blood needle destroyed it.
Following the destruction of the eyeball.
Thick white fog gradually rose from the ravine and shrouded the entire suspension bridge. The visibility was less than five meters.
"Be careful, something is coming from the fog …"
Everyone was on high alert.
Han Dong, who had just experienced Mist, was very familiar with such a fog-shrouded environment.
Ga ga …
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen magic crows were released, circling around the team for reconnaissance.
Undead Lun Ze, who was at the end of the line, also waved the mysterious short staff in his hand. Three "skulls" used for scouting, and the skulls with blue flames in their eye sockets floated around the team as well, acting as an early warning.
"Let's go …"
The team maintained their normal movement speed and walked about one kilometer on the suspension bridge.
Haha! Ha!
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter came from the fog.
Lucius, who was in the lead, suddenly raised his hand. His entire arm suddenly transformed into a blood hand that could extend and enlarge without limit, accurately grabbing a target in the fog.
Soon.
A Blood Servant, who was wearing a noble's wig and had mosquito wings, was taken out.
"You … you emit the delicious scent of the Blood God! Count will definitely like it. "
Such a sentence made Lucius's expression turn ugly, and even a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
The blood hand squeezed.
Smack!
The mosquito was crushed.
Hahaha! Just as the Blood Servant died, more wild laughter came from the white fog one after another.
Hundreds of strange-looking Blood Servants were faintly discernible in the fog.
Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the Blood Servants, Han Dong, who was in the middle of the line, felt his heart palpitate. He suddenly opened the small magic eye between his brows and looked into the depths of the ravine.
"Be careful … there's something down there!"
"What?"
Several thick earth-yellow tentacles inlaid with rock components suddenly rose from both sides of the suspension bridge.
This was the first time Han Dong had seen this type of tentacle, and it seemed very heavy.
Without giving them time to react, the tentacle suddenly swung down … Crack! The suspension bridge shattered.
In the process of shattering the suspension bridge, it even smashed a few Blood Servants in the white fog.
The suspension bridge collapsed.
Due to the influence of gravity, the team of six fell down a thousand-meter-deep ravine.
Just as Han Dong was about to fuse with the Dozier Crow and fly with the Crow Man Form, he suddenly noticed a detail.
These tentacles that shattered the suspension bridge did not continue to attack them. They did not even have the slightest hostility. Moreover …
Smack!
Han Dong fell on the surface of the huge tentacle … To be precise, it was the tentacle that took the initiative to catch the falling Han Dong.
At the moment of contact, a low and old voice was transmitted to Han Dong's mind through the tentacle.
"Honorable Lord, the Adraga Mountain Range has been completely occupied by the Scarlet Mountain Villa.
At least one of the Barons has set his sights on you. If you recklessly go deeper, your lives will be in danger.
We were once the natives of the mountain and have no hostility toward the Lord from Gayne Forest. We just have some things to discuss with you.
Please let your human friends relax. I will take you to the cave at the bottom of the mountain and temporarily avoid the pursuit of the Scarlet Mountain Villa. "
"Okay."
Han Dong decisively sent a message to Lucius.
Who knew that Lucius seemed to have misgivings about the Scarlet Mountain Villa and accepted help from an alien race … With Lucius's words, Renze and Jane did not resist.
The six of them safely landed on the soft earth-brown tentacle and safely reached the bottom of the ravine.
The Blood Servants flying from above seemed to have misgivings about something and all stopped when they were halfway down.
As everyone reached the depths of the ravine, the white fog dissipated.
The earth-yellow tentacles that destroyed the suspension bridge and took everyone back into the huge array at the bottom of the mountain.
A group of 'natives' wearing yellow robes were gathered here. Some of their exposed body parts resembled humans, while others resembled rocks, mud, vines, and skeletons.
"Hmm?! You aren't the Arabian Ghoul, Duilio Stuart? "
The native's voice was still transmitted to Han Dong's mind.
"Shh … The deed has changed. I'm the new Lord of the manor.
In addition, I'm currently coming here as a knight. Don't let my companions know that I have the deed to the manor, and don't call me Lord. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. "
"Understood."
