"Abel didn't talk much along the way … It doesn't seem like a change in personality after a few months of hellish training. He seems to be suppressing something."
While walking up the mountain passage, Han Dong noticed Abel's depressed state.
He quietly opened his Mystic Eye and tried to observe Abel's body condition.
Buzz!
Han Dong's back was drenched in cold sweat from the shock of that moment.
"This is …"
Although it was only for a moment, he saw an indescribable shadow of a berserk beast in his body … It was similar to the situation when he fought against Deng Zong in Ghost Stories.
However, Abel was in a desperate situation at that time. His consciousness was hidden, so the berserk beast hidden in his body took over the main consciousness and fell into a berserk state.
Now, Abel, who seemed to be depressed and silent, showed a state of "forced self-control" … This was a huge change brought by Abel's hellish training for almost a year.
"If Abel can really control this power, he will definitely be able to defeat the Hybrid Demons alone and successfully break the seed, becoming the first person in the new era of the Holy City."
After understanding Abel's current state, Han Dong was relieved.
Thinking of this, Han Dong reached out and patted Demps who was walking in front of him.
He quietly sent a message, and Demps immediately made an OK gesture.
…
"The exit of the secret passage is in front of us. It corresponds to the southern foothills of the Adraga Mountain Range … It is also the area where the Scarlet Mountain Villa's forces are least distributed. As for the [Big Pet] that you are looking for, it will occasionally wander around this area.
After all, Count completely raised it. Whether you can meet it or not depends on your luck. "
As Simon reached out his hand, the surface of the stone wall.
The huge stone door that was used to seal the secret passage slowly opened.
Finally, it returned to its original height from the bottom of the valley.
"Hmm … Even the plants have changed?"
The group of people who walked out of the secret passage were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
It was completely different from the eternal night plants in Gein Forest that had sucker structures.
Most of the plants that grew in the mountains were bright red in color. A kind of bewitching red light was reflected from their bodies. The surface of their skin was translucent, and the red liquid flowing inside could be clearly seen.
Red and plump fruits grew on the tree branches one after another.
The ground was also covered in crimson flowers.
The plump and plump petals felt like they would explode at the slightest touch.
The mountain forest was also filled with a fragrant fishy smell …
Such a 'crimson scene' would cause any non-fresh blood life form to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Once one ate the bright red fruits in the mountains, or was cut by the thorns on the flowers, or drank the spring water in the mountains, there was a possibility that one would be infected.
"Everyone, use your concealment abilities. The flow of blood in the mountains is not normal … It is possible that Scarlet Mountain Villa has already begun to search for us."
Lucius had just finished speaking.
Jean gently tapped her toes on Lucius's shadow, and her figure quickly merged into it, becoming one.
It had to be said that Senior Sister Zhen's [Shadow] was very suitable for team operations. Through this method, she could "attach" herself to her teammates' shadows and launch unexpected attacks during battle.
Lun Ze took out a rag with black scriptures drawn on it and covered his body, concealing his aura.
While everyone focused on concealing themselves, Demps had a different idea.
He plucked a bright red fruit.
Through the guidance of the 'finger technique', he perfectly extracted the faint aura of the blood brew from the fruit and evenly distributed it on his body … It felt like he was an infected person.
Such a disguise was very clever.
Since Abel needed to stabilize and control the 'Berserk Beast' in his body, Demps also disguised him as an infected person.
"As expected of the most outstanding junior in the [Library] … Demps, help your senior disguise as well? Hehe … "
Necromancer Lun Ze, who was wrapped in a rag, let out a strange laugh.
"Okay, senior."
During the disguise.
Lun Ze stretched out a withered hand from under the rag and gently clasped Demps' wrist.
"Hiss … What delicate skin. No wonder the deputy curator 'admires' you so much."
"Senior, if there is anything, let's talk about it when we return to the city."
"Of course, of course, the mountains are too dangerous … Don't worry, if there is any danger, your senior will protect you."
Lun Ze's words were obviously directed at Demps.
At this moment, Captain Lucius suddenly turned around and glared at Lun Ze.
"Lun Ze, this junior Demps' ideas and methods are very good … This is a special time, you better restrain yourself."
"Yes …"
After being glared at by Lucius, Lun Ze immediately cowered.
Naturally, there was a reason why he disliked Demps.
The 'special treatment' Demps received in the academy was too obvious. Everyone in the library knew that he had an affair with the deputy curator.
Some ordinary students did not think much of it. Demps' talent was worthy of the special treatment.
However, a top student like Lun Ze, who was similarly talented but was treated a thousand miles away from his junior, was a little displeased.
Once, when Lun Ze was in his fourth year, he spent enough credits to borrow a high-class book in the library. He had to queue for an entire hour.
Later, Demps did not need to queue or spend any credits. He could directly borrow a high-class book of the same value … At that time, Demps was just a junior in his second year.
Lun Ze hated students who used 'private relationships' to get in through the back door.
…
Just like that.
The entire team disguised themselves as infected people.
The black man, Simon, turned into yellow sand and secretly led the way.
"Wait … It seems like something is approaching."
After walking for about a hundred meters in the foothills, Han Dong and Lucius both sensed something approaching at the same time.
Simon immediately transmitted his voice to everyone through contact with the soil.
"That's strange. Very few people from Scarlet Mountain Villa move around in this area, let alone a small team operation. I'm afraid that the moment you were discovered on the suspension bridge, Count ordered a search for you. "
At the beginning, Simon had also warned Han Dong that the uniqueness of [Blood Knight-Lucius] might attract special attention from the villa.
"As for what exactly is going on, we'll know once we capture them and ask." Lucius' expression was cold.
Han Dong immediately added, "There's only one Scarlet Team within 500 meters … We can make a move."
…
The team that slowly walked out from the forest was the Blood Kin Team near the villa that had received the bounty to capture the 'young knight mixed with the Blood God's aura' alive.
They did not belong to the insect variant.
There were a total of three people in the team, and all of them were pale.
They had messy white hair that reached their waists, wrinkled and withered pale skin, completely cracked blood-red mouths, and eye sockets that were full of blood clots instead of eyeballs … They judged and moved only through their sense of smell.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Their hands and feet were shackled, and it seemed that they were still handcuffed in the manor on normal days … They were a special kind of Blood Kin.
Along the way, they ate the bright red fruits on the tree and were extremely hungry.
