"Leave, quick, leave this place!" yelled Pan Jin.
The number of people falling to the ground was still increasing. It felt like they were going to be the next victim. Black blood clogged their throats and turned them into black ashes. No one would want to end up like that.
The Golden Battle Hunters began to run for their lives, heading for the exit of the manor.
There were still people falling to the ground as they were running for their lives. More than twenty of them had died …
Everyone finally reached the boundary of the manor. As they were about to leave the place, the leader of the Golden Battle Hunters, Ge Ming, stood at the boundary and stopped the people who were trying to leave the manor!
"Leader, we don't even know what's attacking us. It's like it's spreading through the air. The speed of the attack is terrifying. There's no sign at all!" Pan Jin was almost on the verge of tears.
He had been a Hunter for more than ten years. He had stumbled into all kinds of terrifying demon creatures, and was used to people dying around him. However, he was on the verge of losing his mind when he saw the unexplainable mass poisoning. The only thing he could think of was to leave the place with his team!
Ge Ming moved aside slightly, allowing Pan Jin to see the situation outside the boundary …
Black blood, the ground was covered in black blood. The viscous liquid was flowing on the sparse grass outside the manor, and slowly formed a small pond along the slope.
On the ground, black corpses were strewn about one after another. When the night wind blew past, the corpses would turn into powder, and they would truly be reduced to ashes!
"Those who stepped out of the manor are all dead. Not a single one of them survived!" said Ge Ming in a deep voice to the panicking crowd.
The Golden Battle Hunters had around a thousand people in total. A portion of them were on the move in the manor, while the rest were stationed outside to prevent the people of the Black Vatican from escaping after hearing the news. The manor was quite spacious. They would need a lot more people to keep an eye on every corner.
When Pan Jin's group of Hunters was losing their lives due to the black blood, the same thing happened to the Golden Battle Hunters stationed outside the manor too. Some of them were running away in fear, but those who stepped out of the manor died in less than fifty steps …
As a result, there were even more black corpses outside the fence of the manor, and black blood flowed like a stream.
The leader, Ge Ming, was having a mental breakdown too. The Golden Battle Hunters had more than a thousand Magicians, and almost four hundred of them had died out of nowhere. Most terrifyingly, they had no idea how they had died, or who would be the next to vomit black blood. The manor had turned into a hell filled with black corpses, and the people who tried to escape immediately lost their minds …
"We can't go out, we must not go out!" Ge Ming told them sternly.
"I don't believe it. I don't want to wait for death here. They died too miserably. It must have spread. It must have spread through the air!" One of the Huntresses was so scared that she lost her mind. She ignored the others and rushed out of the manor.
When Pan Jin saw this, he hurriedly rushed out to stop them, but who knew that Ge Ming would grab him.
Pan Jin lowered his head and realized that he was about to step out of the fence of the manor, and the Huntress was about ten meters away …
"Wah ~!!"
Fresh blood spurted out from the Huntress' mouth. She finally came to a stop and ran back like she had lost her mind!
Pan Jin saw the Huntress running back with black blood flowing out from her mouth. She screamed desperately, as if she was asking for help, or praying that the poisonous demon would not take her life.
She fell to the ground as soon as she reached the fence. She tried her best to crawl into the manor. Her hands covered in blood grabbed the fence, trying to crawl into the manor from the outside, as if she would be able to survive if she crawled into the manor.
Her body began to shrivel. She was finally able to crawl through the narrow fence. Half of her body was inside, but she could not crawl any further.
It was obvious that the deadly demon would not pity her just because she came to her senses in time. Half of her body was stuck at the fence, and slowly turned into black ashes …
Pan Jin burst into tears upon seeing this. His tears were filled with sorrow, pain, and fear!
No one could explain it. It was as if the people of the Golden Battle Hunters were being targeted by a demon that had descended upon the human world. They were forced to follow the rules of the demon's game. They were not allowed to run out of the circle drawn by the demon, and each of them might become the next target.
They hid in the cage and waited in despair for the demon to pick them!
…
The sudden outbreak of the poison completely terrified the tourists of the manor. The Close Combat Hunters were not the only ones that had died. The one thousand five hundred tourists and the servants of the manor were dying too. The probability of them dying was a lot lower than the Golden Battle Hunters, but it was still quite terrifying!
The members of the Close Battle Hunters noticed that some of the tourists had died too. Their expressions changed when they saw them fleeing for their lives, too.
"Quick, stop them, set up the barrier, don't let them leave the fence!" Ge Ming yelled. He used his communication device to notify the other Hunters scattered around the manor.
"Do we still have time to care about them?" said Pan Jin.
"What are you talking about? It's all because of us. If we drag innocent people into this, we, the Golden Battle Hunters, are going to be a bunch of sinners. We don't know how the poison started, but we can't just watch the innocent die, even if you are the next victim!" snapped Ge Ming furiously.
The Hunter Group was a group of people that had experienced life and death. As the outbreak of the black blood was not as frequent, the Hunters calmed down and stopped the tourists from escaping, driving them back to the manor.
Luckily, the barrier was not fully lifted. They managed to stop the tourists from escaping in time, saving many lives. Otherwise, the area outside the fence of the manor would be littered with corpses!
"Leader, it seems like the poison has stopped."
"A Mage tried to escape through a gap in the barrier, but he died not long after."
"I don't think the poison is spreading any further, but anyone that leaves the manor is dead for sure. Tell everyone to stay calm!" ordered Ge Ming amid the chaos and death.
Many people were so scared that their minds had gone blank. They were instinctively trying to survive, yet their instincts ended up harming them instead. Pan Jin could not help but be impressed by Ge Ming's ability to remain calm under such circumstances …
However, they did not understand.
It was supposed to be a well-planned operation to hunt down the Black Vatican, yet it had suddenly turned into a demon's lair!
