The knight in the abyss

Chapter 780 Ravens and Wolves

If that femur was a tool for some kind of treatment, then the baroness was obviously not satisfied with just one course of treatment.She exhausted herself on that bone until she was nearly unconscious on the bed, and the scene was not so much a special fetish as a sacrifice in some cult ritual.

Lancelow was sure that the thighbone definitely had some special meaning, perhaps it was a sacred object of the female nobleman's secret belief.He considered whether to steal the bone for inspection, but quickly dismissed the idea. The reason was not entirely because of nausea, but because both scholars and priests had mentioned that items related to evil spirits were often extremely dangerous , the touch of non-believers is likely to be strongly cursed, even with his cultivation base in the foundation period, he will be hit if he is not careful.

For now, knowing the existence of the bone was enough, and it was enough to remove Lancelot's last doubts about the Baroness.

The next day, everyone checked out after breakfast and left. The baroness did not show up, and only the housekeeper Ke Ke said goodbye to everyone politely.Lancelow thanked him for his thoughtful service, and asked him to convey his regards to the baroness, and that his group would go forward to investigate the ancient temple as soon as possible at the right time.

However, when they went to the stable to pick up the mount, they encountered an embarrassing situation: Lancelot's mount was missing, and the night watchman swore that the fence was definitely locked last night.Lancelot didn't pursue this matter, because judging from various traces, it was obvious that the big black horse slipped out of the animal pen by itself. If you think about it carefully, expect this fierce beast from Jiaoyan Hell to stay in a ten-foot-long place obediently. In a small square room, it is not a wise decision in itself.

Lancelot summoned the mount again, and in a burst of red light, the burly Nightmare appeared again with a huge wolf carcass in his mouth.

Lancelow spent another five hundred gold coins and bought a stocky pony for Barend as a means of transportation.Unlike Brutal, the old dwarf knew how to steer his mount, and of course he would keep his feet on solid ground when encountering combat.

Different from the situation when we came here, there are a little more people on the streets of Chadgori Town, but all of them are gloomy and hurried.Lancelow realized that the weird situation yesterday was not normal. Most of the residents in the city were aware of the upcoming conflict. At that time, every panting creature on the street was a spy, and his group However, they went straight to the eye of the storm in a blatant manner, which might have caused the heads of many spy organizations to lose a few more hairs.

There were also some people whose eyes were full of vigilance, but they were not stopped by anything.Although no one knows what happened in the dungeon except for the prisoners rescued by the crows, many people are convinced that the Nightmare Knight and his companions are the key to the crows' victory, so as long as Lancelo and the others behave themselves If you walk in the middle of the road, no one will come up to make fun of you.

Soon, everyone left the town smoothly and stepped into the misty wilderness again.A group of people headed towards Raven Town in the east, and the road under their feet soon changed from paved with gravel to a muddy dirt road, and the surrounding scenery also changed from a field overgrown with weeds to a forest with malicious intentions.Tall, ancient hemlocks grew here, their thick, twisted roots like claws stuck in the ground, their overlapping branches like thugs shouldering each other, and the wind through the leaves was They chat in low voices, planning how to punish those fools who dare to trespass on their territory.

The ancient trees quickly sent out their agents, a group of hungry wolves with green eyes.These predators followed from a distance at first, and soon they gathered more and more, and ravens began to hover above everyone's heads. They made ugly squawking sounds, as if some kind of warning, or as if they were urging the kitchen The masters quickly brought their lunch to the table.

"Lancelow, there are a lot of wolves around..." Tanya, who was riding second in the team, said a little uneasy, "Those crows are warning us that more wolves are coming here. I guess once Get enough numbers and those wolves will attack us."

"Are the crows really warning us?" Lancelot frowned slightly, "Can you tell those crows to tell the wolves that we are not easy to mess with?"

"……cannot."

"Then if I act tough enough now, will it backfire and make the wolves retaliate even more crazily?"

"These are not ordinary beasts, they actually have not weak intelligence. If you can really show enough shock, I think they will retreat in spite of difficulties."

"Then I'll move around a little bit, everyone rest for a while." Lance Luo reined in and patted Nightmare's neck at the same time, "You too."

Nightmare snorted disdainfully.

Lancelot jumped off his mount and walked towards the pack of wolves.The beasts retreated subconsciously, but when the human knight was far enough away from his companions, the wolves immediately attacked.

However, Lancelot's figure flashed and disappeared in the same place in an instant.The wolves bumped into each other fiercely, their fangs and sharp claws caused a lot of damage to their companions, and it took a while to realize that they were all their own people.

A horrified whimper came from not far away, and the wolves turned their heads in astonishment, only to find that the strongest among them had been trampled under the feet of the human knight at some point.Its limbs were immobilized as if being crushed by a collapsed tree trunk, and only its throat could barely make a whine begging for mercy.

Lancelot drew out the Frost Slash from behind, and pressed it against the back of the prisoner's head. His eyes swept over the pack of wolves standing frozen in place, and he calmly uttered a word:

"roll."

A gust of wind came from behind, and Lancelot pointed the long sword backward without looking back, and a wolf corpse was attached to the sword.Lancelot shook his head, flicked the long sword lightly, and then stabbed heavily at the prisoner under his feet, the surging sword energy directly cut off the entire wolf's head.

To deal with wild beasts, you have to use a method that wild beasts can understand.

The human knight repeated the same action three more times, and the wolves finally realized that this was an enemy they could never defeat, and ran away with their tails between their legs in a blink of an eye.

"Finish." Lancelot held five wolf carcasses in one hand and hung them on Nightmare's saddle. "You like to eat this, right?"

Nightmare snorted again, it likes to eat what it kills.

"Choose and choose, I advise you to be honest." Lancelot slapped Nightmare's neck hard, "If you run out by yourself at night, who knows what you might encounter. If you are caught by those hags I will definitely put blindfolds on you, put on rigging, and make you grind like a mule every day!"
