It was early in the morning, and the sunlight was extremely warm, illuminating the ground and bringing a bit of warmth to this cold world.
In the wilderness, there were dewdrops hanging on the weeds, and as the wind blew, the weeds swayed and the dewdrops slowly dripped down.
On this piece of flat land, Adil rode his horse, and after reaching a certain place, he raised his head and looked into the distance.
"Is this the place?"
Chen Heng asked as he looked around.
"Yes." On Adil's side, Hilaya had changed into a set of light black leather armor and was riding a horse with a longsword strapped to his waist. He looked like an elite knight.
In just a month, this bandit leader had changed his appearance, and after going through heavy training from a few veterans, he looked somewhat presentable.
He rode on a large horse, and his rugged face looked somewhat ruddy. Even though he was with Adil, he still looked quite nervous.
"Sir Baron, we'll be able to see the bandit group's campsite in another half an hour."
"Just ahead?" Adil raised his head and looked into the distance as he indiscernibly frowned.
In front of them was a lush forest. Patches of sparse shrubs grew quietly here, blocking most of their vision and preventing them from seeing the scene in the distance.
This was an excellent cover. Those who were not familiar with the surrounding terrain might get lost if they walked into this place.
However, to Adil, this kind of obstruction was naturally useless. He just silently looked into the distance and watched the scenery in the distance.
Due to his current strength and the distance, he could not see what was in the distance, but he could faintly see some things.
On a dilapidated swamp, there were some dilapidated buildings. In the sky, bits of blood-red aura were slowly condensing, forming a blood-red cloud. It was like a drop of ink seeping into water as it slowly spread out, causing the entire sky to seem a bit red.
Looking at this scene, Adil frowned and did not say anything. He waved the whip in his hand and slowly walked forwards.
As he got closer and closer, the scenery in the distance became more and more apparent.
When Adil reached the end of the line, the followers behind him were all stunned.
The place in front of him looked like a village, but there were many fences and mounds of earth outside, barely surrounding the entire village.
This village was very big. It could be seen that there should be a lot of people here in the past, and the area should be very lively.
However, at this moment, the place in front of him had completely turned into a land of death. Pieces of ruins stood on the ground, and a cold and gloomy aura permeated the surroundings.
On the ground, dark black bloodstains were spreading and staining the surroundings, making this place look somewhat terrifying.
Adil watched this scene in Silence.
Compared to the ordinary people around him, he could see much more.
In the sky above the village, there was a deep deathly aura. The sky was filled with blood-red ghosts struggling and wailing. Among them, there were countless figures shuttling back and forth. With the arrival of Adil and the others, they seemed to have been awakened and looked over.
Terrifying, pale and rotten faces looked over one after another. If an ordinary person saw this, their heart would probably immediately tremble and they would have the desire to escape.
Adil just watched calmly, quietly looking at these dead faces, looking at these badly mutilated and hideous figures. He didn't say anything and didn't say anything.
"Lord, there are a lot of corpses inside …"
Not long later, Hilaya ran over while gasping for breath. There was a bit of lingering fear on his face, as if he saw some terrifying scene, "Inside … inside …"
"En?" Adil turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. In return, Hilaya smiled bitterly, "Lord, you can go in and take a look yourself …"
Without saying much, and not paying much attention to Hilaya's expression, Adil lightly nodded his head, then got off the horse and walked into the small path that Hilaya opened up.
Walking into the small path, a cold aura immediately spread over. It was as if an extremely cold ice cube had instantly melted, and a large amount of cold air spread out, causing people to uncontrollably shiver.
"This place sure is cold …" Hilaya couldn't help but shiver. While standing behind Adil, Hilaya was clearly sweating quite a bit because of the strenuous exercise, but right now, Hilaya felt a burst of coldness.
The wind wasn't formed naturally, but for some other reason.
At a place that only Adil could see, there were currently pairs of eyes opening, and sinister and terrifying faces were revealed. Right now, all of them were coldly looking at everyone present.
Standing beside a specter, Adil could even see that on the face of the specter, there were drops of mucus continuously dripping down. On the face of the specter, there were a lot of ineffable wounds, and on the wounds, there were worms growing on the wounds, making people feel like vomiting the food that they ate the night before.
Taking a step out from these specters, Adil's entire body released his aura instinctively, and a bit of life energy automatically rose. Immediately, the aura that was emitted caused the bodies of these specters to have some reaction, and they instinctively moved away from Adil's side.
After doing all that, he turned around and looked at the surroundings in the direction that Hilaya was looking at.
Corpses were placed in the surroundings, and every single corpse was wearing a set of tattered clothes. Their entire bodies were pierced through by a huge tree branch, and the wounds on their bodies were densely packed, causing people's hair to stand on end.
On some of the more well-preserved corpses, Adil could see some black-robed people's marks. The marks were mottled with blood, and they looked like a unique tattoo, as well as a unique ceremony.
There was a strange aura lingering in the air, and as Adil and the others arrived, it seemed to have been activated, and it instinctively surged towards Adil and the others. However, it was dispelled by Adil's life energy.
"It's the Night Watchmen's sacrificial ceremony …"
Looking at this scene, a person in the crowd trembled as he spoke, his face filled with fear.
The so-called Night Watchmen were the followers of the Night Watchman, and they represented the approach of death, the moment when night descended.
This Night Watchman had many followers, but most of them were extreme and evil, and they caused terror in various countries, causing countless people to feel fear.
Ignoring the fearful followers behind him, Adil expressionlessly walked around in Silence.
Most of the corpses that were sacrificed here were the original bandits of this village, but there were also some passers-by who died in vain.
For example, there was a female corpse in front of Adil, and the corpse of a middle-aged man.
The female corpse looked miserable. Not only was she naked, but her body was also torn apart, and there were several cracks on her body. On the corpse, there were some traces of abuse that lingered for a long time, and it seemed that she had been subjected to extreme treatment before her death.
The corpse of the middle-aged man was missing a left arm, and the other pair of eyes had been gouged out. Even his tongue had been cut off. His face was hideous, and the flesh and blood had burst open on his face, making one's hair stand on end.
The female corpse was the daughter of the president of the Thistle Flower Chamber of Commerce, and as for the middle-aged man, he was the security officer sent by Tam to negotiate. He was a simple person born in a small noble family.
Two people who were usually well-behaved and had families behind them died because they came to this place, and what they experienced before their death was unimaginable.
This scene was cruel, and the massacre was terrifying and bloody. It made the bandits behind Adil tremble in fear, and some of them didn't even dare to open their eyes.
In a place where ordinary people couldn't see, the resentment of some of the dead lingered for a long time, and it was still lingering in this place. It was attracting some kind of power that was left in the surroundings, and it vaguely formed a small territory.
"Night Watchman …"
Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, Adil was expressionless, and he looked towards a corner as if he sensed something.
