Outside the city walls, there were many trenches. When the demons invaded, the soldiers would ignite the alchemy oil on the trenches, and the blazing flames would turn into walls of fire.
But now, those who were crossing these trenches were also human refugees. They were covered in black oil. Many exhausted refugees collapsed in the trenches and did not come out. Those who reached the city walls found that the gates were tightly shut. The walls were very slippery and flat. They could not climb up.
The soldiers on the city walls looked coldly into the distance, ignoring the cries of the refugees.
But at this moment, a mother's voice attracted An Luo's attention.
"I only have one request. Please save my child, I beg you."
Her voice was not loud, but An Luo heard it clearly. His sharp eyes immediately found the mother.
It was a woman covered in wounds, holding a four or five-year-old child.
In that instant, An Luo was shaken. He stretched out his hand, but at that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed him.
"What are you doing!"
An Luo was shocked to find that it was General Xia Long.
"There's a child!"
An Luo shouted.
"Think about it. What does it mean if you save him?"
Xia Long's expression was very frightening. When An Luo reacted, he realized that the surrounding soldiers were silently watching them.
The soldiers were also made of flesh. They felt the same as An Luo.
An Luo withdrew his hand and left, accompanied by a woman's heart-wrenching screams.
Looking at his back, Xia Long sighed softly. Then, he faced the people below the city walls and shouted, "Don't crowd around here! The city gates have been sealed long ago! You should go to the west. Go around the canyon forest and head east. There's a village there. "
With that, desperate screams came from below the city walls.
"We can't make it there alive! Even the demon army won't go there! "
"There are terrifying monsters there!"
"We have no strength left. At least give us some food."
The desperate voices reached the ears of every soldier on the city walls. Xia Long was silent for a moment, then whispered to the counselor beside him, "Give them some food and send them away."
"Yes …"
General Xia Long raised his head and frowned as he looked at the mountains in the distance. He knew that this would be a difficult time, but as long as they could hold on for a few days and hold on until reinforcements arrived, they would be safe.
…
The black hound panted as it ran through the dense bushes. It shot through the dense grass like an arrow and came to a bright place. It saw a carriage stop in the middle of the road. Many guards got off the carriage and looked around vigilantly.
The hound came to the hunter's feet, its tongue hanging out as it panted quickly.
The hunter bent down and patted the dog's head. Then, he took out a bone from his pocket and threw it to the dog. The hound quickly bit the bone and enjoyed it alone.
"How is it? Are there any demons? "
At this moment, a merchant wearing a top hat appeared behind the hunter. He had a staff in his hand, and there was a lion head ornament on the staff. He slowly walked over and glanced at the hound on the ground.
"No, there are no wild beasts nearby, but I can't guarantee that there won't be any lurking demons."
Hearing this, the merchant frowned and said, "Why did I pay a high price to invite you back?"
After hearing this, the hunter's face turned slightly ugly. He stood up and said, "Black Bones can detect most demons, but there are some special demons who can hide underground and hide their presence. No one can detect their ambush."
"I'm not here to listen to you, Mister Barton. You only need to tell me if we can continue."
The hunter was silent. He looked at the dog on the ground and said, "We can continue."
Hearing this, the merchant nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk back to the carriage.
"Everyone heard it. The famous hunter Mister Barton said that it's safe ahead. Why are we still wasting time here?"
The carriage drivers were hesitant because the place they were heading to was the Great Forest of Ufa, which was marked on the map as the territory of the demons. It was a terrifying place full of demons.
Their hesitation displeased the merchant.
"Three hundred elite guards, three pitch black adventurers, and seven crimson adventurers are in charge, and you people are still afraid to move forward!" He scolded and pointed his staff at them, saying, "Do you know why you're poor and I started from scratch and became a millionaire? Is it because of fate? Bah! My money was earned by risking my life. It's that simple. "
The coachmen who were being scolded had ugly expressions. They looked at each other. Under the threat of death and the temptation of money, it was difficult for them to make a decision. It was like a balance. At this moment, the merchant hit the carriage with his cane.
"Those who want to leave can leave now. Those who continue, I'll give them three thousand more!"
Hearing this, the carriage drivers wavered. Three thousand, that's more than thirty trips!
"Let's go."
"Whoosh! Go! "
And so, the stagnant carriages continued forward.
Soon, they passed through the first forest and followed the new road to a tunnel.
Cold wind blew in from the tunnel. It was immediately bright, but the cold wind made the carriage drivers shiver.
The black hound ran back again, but it was accompanied by a low growl. The hunter's face changed when he saw it. He turned to the merchant, saying, "There's something over there. It's very likely a demon."
The merchant took a step forward and looked at the other end of the tunnel, which was a white dot. He looked across, the hunter did not know what he was thinking.
"I know."
He said so.
Hearing this, the hunter was stunned, saying, "Then why did you come to this place?"
The merchant turned to look at him, saying, "Do you believe in miracles?"
With that, he turned back and looked at the carriages.
"Let's continue forward."
The hunter stood in place, he did not understand the merchant's actions.
"He must be crazy, I have to stop him …"
Just as he was about to do something, a carriage passed by him. At this moment, the wind in the tunnel blew the cloth tied to the carriage. He accidentally saw the thing in the carriage.
No! It was not a thing, it was a living person!
He saw a group of people wearing the same linen clothes. There were children, adults, men, and women.
Their eyes were numb, their faces expressionless.
At that moment, the hunter's eyes widened. He realized that he had helped a human trafficker who sold his own people to the demons!
"This can't be real!"
At this moment, the black hound beside him let out a growl. Suddenly, the hunter felt his vision go dark. His face was covered by a cloth. He heard his beloved dog barking, but it was whimpering as it was being beaten.
"What are you doing! Let me go! Wu wu! Don't hurt my dog! "
