Chapter 1555 - 1555 The ghost village (1)
1555 The ghost village (1)
The team in charge of reconnaissance did not return. This abnormal situation made the regiment commander of the Knight’s Association vigilant. The small village in front of them seemed to be very dangerous?
Just as they were hesitating about whether they should send another team of people to investigate, a bird suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance and headed straight for the divine warrior.
The regiment commander of Knight Ace mecha clan frowned slightly and waved his hand towards the sky. The bird seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope and landed directly on his hand.
This kind of bird that could fly at an extremely fast speed was the war god temple’s main Messenger. However, once this messenger bird appeared, it meant that something big had happened!
He took a deep breath, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Taking out the letter from the kangaroo-like pocket of the messenger bird, the leader of the Knights slowly opened it. Then, his expression changed slightly.
According to the intelligence, strange things happened all over Harvest City in just one night. Suspected undead creatures appeared in dozens of villages, and more than 3000 people were missing!
Other than the ordinary villagers, there were also nearly 300 divine warriors who had died in various places. Their deaths were too horrible to look at!
This sudden incident infuriated the main God’s temple, and they ordered the war God’s temple of Harvest City to mobilize all of their forces. They had to figure out the enemy’s origin within a day, and they absolutely couldn’t allow this situation to continue.
All the divine warriors who were out on a mission had to put down their other missions after receiving the order to fully investigate the matter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, the regiment commander of Knight Ace mecha clan took a deep breath and turned to the people around him. everyone, prepare for battle. We’re entering Gus village immediately.
When the assistant next to him heard this, he asked in a hesitant tone, ” “Leader, do you want to wait a little longer?”
we can’t wait any longer. We’ve just received news that Gus village wasn’t the only one that was affected by the strange incident. Dozens of other villages have also suffered heavy casualties.
“The war god temple has already given the order to investigate the cause of the changes in these villages. We only have one day’s time, so we can’t retreat no matter how dangerous it is!”
Hearing the leader’s explanation, the Deputy sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at the empty village in front of him and his expression turned grave.
Since the war god Hall had given the order, they had to carry it out. Otherwise, they would be severely punished.
The group slowly advanced along the road in front of them. The regiment commander of Knight Ace mecha clan had a frown on his face the entire time. As they went deeper and deeper, his expression suddenly changed, as if he wanted to shout out a warning.
However, after a mere second, the regiment commander of Knight Ace mecha clan regained his calm, as if nothing had happened.
This happened in such a short time that the other divine warriors did not even notice it.
Soon, the group arrived at the center of the village. The big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves appeared in front of them, and there were some burnt charcoal scattered on the ground.
There was still no one in the village. The jizhi team was sent out to search, but they found nothing.
“According to the analysis of the traces left behind, the previous team disappeared here. Where did they go?”
There was a trace of doubt on the deputy’s face. He kept looking around, but in the end, he could only give up helplessly.
The regiment commander of Knight Ace mecha clan did not say anything. He just looked at the big tree not far away quietly with his eyes slightly narrowed.
“There’s no need to look for them, they’re already dead!”
Knight Ace mecha clan’s Regiment commander’s voice was as cold as ice. He spoke word by word, as if it was very difficult for him to speak.
“Dead?”
The Deputy was stunned for a moment. He followed Knight Ace mecha clan’s Regiment commander’s gaze and saw that there seemed to be something hanging on the branch of the tree.
“What’s that?”
With a trace of doubt on his face, the Deputy subconsciously took a few steps forward and finally saw the thing on the tree clearly.
They were charred bodies hanging on the thorns of the branches. Because the bodies were covered by leaves and there was no breeze blowing the leaves, he didn’t see them at first.
could these be the missing villagers? they were burned and hung on the trees!
Although they had found the whereabouts of the missing villagers, the Deputy was not happy because their mission was not to find the missing villagers, but to find the person behind the scenes!
To be able to do such a thing, the enemy must have been very brutal. To be able to kill a group of divine warriors without a sound, it meant that the enemy was very powerful.
The Deputy also saw the missing divine warriors. They were also hanging on the trees, their clothes intact, but their bodies were charred as if they had been burned by flames!
“Guild leader, what should we do next?”
The village had been searched thoroughly, but there was no trace of him. The Deputy was at a loss.
The commander, who had been observing the tree, turned around and pointed at it. “Cut it down, and perhaps you’ll find the answer!”
The Deputy felt that the leader’s words were strange, but he did not have time to think about it. Instead, he chose to listen to the command and called a team of divine warriors to walk toward the tree, ready to cut it down at the waist.
However, just as everyone approached the tree, the still leaves suddenly moved without any wind, followed by a burst of strange sounds. It sounded like countless men, women, old and young were crying and complaining, but if one listened carefully, they would find that it was not crying, but a strange laughter.
The bodies hanging on the branches started to twist and shake. Then, they fell to the ground like ripe fruits.
Then, the corpses looked like rusty puppets. They struggled to get up from the ground, and smiles appeared on their charred faces. They staggered toward the divine warriors.
A green flame rose from their bodies and burned brighter and brighter, finally turning into a burning fireball.
“Stay with us, don’t leave again!”
we’ve died so miserably. You guys have to help us!
leader, the people here are so passionate. You guys should stay too!
All sorts of strange sounds came out of the fireballs, as if they were demonic music that filled their minds. The divine warriors became drowsy and their eyes became bloodshot.
“Listen to my command, attack immediately!”
die! the Deputy shouted and muttered the God of War’s name in his heart. He rushed toward a burning corpse.
The sharp saber struck a corpse and easily split it into two. However, something even more terrifying happened. More dark green flames erupted from the inside of the corpse and splattered in all directions.
The Deputy and several divine warriors were unable to Dodge in time, and their bodies were stained with a trace of this strange flame. Then, the flame spread rapidly on the surface of their bodies like thick ink dripping into clear water.
A series of painful wails came out of the mouths of the Deputy and the others. They kept rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames on their bodies, but it was to no avail.
The sound of grease being roasted, accompanied by the smell of burning, spread throughout the village. The divine warriors who saw the tragic scene retreated in fear, afraid that the flames would touch their bodies.
After a few seconds, the divine warriors that were engulfed in flames stopped moving and lay on the ground, motionless.
Just when the divine warriors thought that their companions had been burned to death, the charred bodies suddenly moved and stood up clumsily from the ground.
The resurrection did not surprise the divine warriors, because they knew that the other party had become something that terrified them, and was no longer their companion.
Facing such a strange and terrifying existence, the divine warriors did not know what to do. They all looked at the regiment commander of the Knights behind them.
It wasn’t until this moment that they suddenly realized that after the Deputy had given the order to attack, their Regiment commander had remained silent. He didn’t take the lead and participate in the battle like he had in the past.
They turned around and looked at the captain of the Knights. The divine warriors noticed that the captain was smiling, but the smile looked so strange.
And this smile seemed very familiar, it was exactly the same as the villagers who were burned to death!
