Chapter 496 The Mysterious Disappearance

Two hours later.

"Sure enough, there are no children." Ye Liangchen shook his head.

Just now, everyone has searched the small village, and found nothing except the corpse at the bottom of the big round house.

"Maybe all the kids have escaped?" Fiona speculated.

"Well, that's probably the case." Caitlin nodded. "Maybe someone in the village knew that Trundle was coming, so they had all the children taken away."

"But, why don't these adults escape?" Wei En asked.

"Yeah, why is it just the children who escaped?" Ye Liangchen was also puzzled: "According to the houses here, there are 13 households in total, and there are 42 corpses in the basement, which means that at least half of the adults committed suicide below. Isn't it better to take care of those children if the adults run away together?"

"This is also where I am confused." Caitlin frowned: "However, no traces of battle were found, which means that this place has not been attacked."

"It's really disturbing." Fiona shook her head: "Forget it, don't think about it, let's bury those people first, the dead like this can't even see the Star God."

"Well, it's really pitiful." Wei En agreed.

A group of people dug pits and made tombstones, but they didn't know the names of these people, so they could only use the epitaph of Wumingshi from the unknown village.

Fortunately, everyone is not an ordinary person, and it was done very quickly. It only took an hour or so to bury everyone. Sarah even helped them hold a small burial ceremony, which seemed very skillful.

"Because people often die on Blue Flame Island, I'm used to it." Sarah explained.

"Oh." Ye Liangchen understood.

Blue Flame Island is a colony of pirates. More than half of the pirates in the entire Guardian Sea are there. It is normal for people to die often.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, Ali coughed.

"Ah Li, are you awake?" Ye Liangchen greeted her.

"Where are we?" Ari asked in confusion.

"We are in the Shishilifen Mountains, do you feel better?" Ye Liangchen asked.

After escaping from Amritsar and being seriously injured, Ali has been in a comatose state, and the time to wake up is very short, and now he looks much better.

"I feel much better, but I still don't have much strength." Ari replied, "I can smell human flesh."

Ye Liangchen: "..."

Is this girl hungry?And is that the smell of human flesh?It was the rotten smell of the dead people in this village. When carrying these corpses just now, Ye Liangchen was very disturbed. In the end, it was Tristana and Timo who found a lot of animal skins and cloth to solve the problem of moving.

"We just cooked meat, venison." Ye Liangchen smiled.

Wei En helped Ari serve the broth, which was also served with some wild vegetables, and fed Ari mouthfuls.

After a whole night of rest in this small village, everyone's spirits improved a lot, and Ahri could act without force.

Perhaps the attention of Trundle and Lissandra was distracted by Xiao Nu.Because he didn't find any connection with the chasing soldiers, Ye Liangchen simply summoned a few mutated mantises for transportation. The group of people rode the mutated mantises, and it was much easier to move around.

Go straight along the Schlieffen Mountains, as long as you reach Lokfar, you are not far from Pirtov.

However, along the way, the confusion in everyone's hearts became more and more intense.

After leaving the small Orion village, the group found several similar small villages along the way. Many adults committed suicide, but there were no children.

Ye Liangchen had an ominous premonition: "What's going on? Isn't this too strange? Why have all the children in the village disappeared, and all the adults committed suicide? Could it be that these children were snatched away?"

"I have this feeling too." Caitlin's feeling was similar to Ye Liangchen's: "In this way, it feels as if all the children were taken away."

"But, if it wasn't voluntary, why didn't there be a fight?" Fiona said: "Although the places where people commit suicide in different villages are different, some are in the open air, some are in their own homes, and some are gathered outside the village. There is no trace of the battle."

What Fiona said was something that Ye Liangchen couldn't understand.

There were no traces of fighting, which was strange, and almost completely negated the guess that the child was snatched away.

The hunters in the bloody hills almost have the fighting ability equivalent to ordinary soldiers in Demacia. If their children are taken away, they will definitely fight, but there is no sign of fighting at all.

"It doesn't matter, the bloody hills are none of our business anyway, we are still in a hurry to escape." Wei said to everyone: "Now, we should first think about how to pass Lokfar, right? Many people left, but Lokfar is Lissandra's stronghold, so there must still be guards."

"Yeah." Fiona nodded and agreed, "It's right to think about how we can escape first. We're not here to solve the case of the missing children in Bloody Hills."

"Okay." Ye Liangchen touched his head.

Everyone no longer cared about those strange disappearance cases, and began to discuss how to pass Locke Law.

In fact, the place name Lokfar was originally a coastal peninsula located in the northern part of the Freljord. It was the most barbaric area in the Freljord. The leaders were Tryndamere and Olaf, and they belonged to the hometown of berserkers.

But a few years ago, Lissandra led the Frostguard Legion to capture Lokfar, drove Tryndamere and Olaf out of Lokfar, occupied that place, and made that place his base camp.

As for the place of Lokfar, Lissandra had only occupied it not long ago, and even the Special Warfare Academy didn’t have much information, only that it was very cold and connected to the north of Piltov, and nothing else was known.

In the end, when there is no information at all, it is impossible for everyone to discuss a good plan, and they can only take one step at a time.

"We are only about [-] kilometers away from Lokfar. No matter how we move forward, we have to be careful. Maybe someone will lie in ambush at the end of the Shishilifen Mountain Range." Ye Liangchen said to Caitlin next to him.

"In this case, shouldn't we approach quietly while searching?" Tristana also expressed her opinion.

"When will you be dawdling like this? If you want me to tell you, just rush over." Wei waved his fist.

"Hey! I'm going to the front!" Bobby looked full of energy.

Ye Liangchen: "..."

"Kane is right, I think we should search slowly." Kaitlyn frowned, and glanced at Wei and Bobby, the two explosive madmen: "Even Lissandra and Trundle's The entire army has gathered at the Path of the Glacier, and Xiao Nu has led away many pursuers, but Lokfar is Lissandra's stronghold after all, so we must be careful."

"Well, what the princess said is very reasonable, we will do as the princess said." Wei immediately flattered her.

Only Kaitlyn can control this violent woman.

"Then it's decided. Let's abandon the mutated praying mantis and approach Lokfar on foot." Ye Liangchen glanced at Caitlin: "What if we encounter an attack?"

"Then fight them. Anyway, you can borrow a lot of mutated praying mantises from the Star God. As long as you hold them back, we can escape." Fiona said in a relaxed tone.

In fact, Fiona was right.

In case of a fight, Ye Liangchen can summon tens of thousands of mutated praying mantises, but he is afraid of encountering the kind of frost guards of the eighth and ninth ranks. The mutant mantises have nothing to look at, and they can fly several times with a slap. Hundreds.

Ye Liangchen expressed his worries.

"There should be no frost guards of the eighth and ninth ranks." Caitlin shook her head: "Lissandra's army must have been mobilized, after all, she is going to fight Queen Sejuani."

"Well, it's also possible." Ye Liangchen nodded.

"I've always wondered, isn't Lokfar very close to Piltov? Why does Lissandra dare to transfer the army away? Isn't she afraid of being attacked by Piltov?" Sarah asked confused.

"Hehe..." Ye Liangchen could only smile wryly at Sarah's question.

"Because Piltov is a country that respects its own. To respect oneself means that it has very little restraint on the people, and it doesn't like to fight with others. Tove will not take the initiative to send troops." Fiona said.

"Oh." Sarah came to understand: "It's really strange, this way I didn't get beaten by others. If it was on our Blue Flame Island, I would have been beaten to tears."

"No one will take the initiative to provoke Pirtov. Although he is relatively weak in rune magic, Piltov's hex technology is still very troublesome. Even Lissandra dare not go to it casually. What a mess." Fiona explained.

In fact, Ye Liangchen has been thinking about a question, if Piltov's people didn't have this kind of character, they would have wiped out Zaun by now.He obviously hated the people of Zaun, but he allowed Zaun to move around him, and was even sneaked in by the Zaun people. This was the reason why Jinx could go to Piltov's capital so easily to make trouble.

If this continues, Piltov will probably be wiped out sooner or later.

But this kind of worry, with Kaitlyn around, Ye Liangchen didn't say it.

A group of people discussed, but did not discuss any other way.

Just as everyone was about to leave and follow the plan of "sneak in secretly, and if found, summon mutant mantises to block the escape", Timo ran back in a panic.

"Not good! I see the enemy!"

Timo spoke out of breath.

"Enemies? How many?"

"More than 100, approaching here!"

After hearing more than 100 people, everyone took out their weapons and prepared to fight.
