My team members turned out to be heroic spirits

But it doesn't look like a modern transportation vehicle, but more like the traces left by the wheels of a carriage.

He squatted down and observed the depth of the marks.

The ruts were somewhat sunk into the ground, as if they were transporting something.

"...Human beings are not being transported as cargo, right?"

Jiang Li murmured to himself.

The distance between the two ruts is not close, so it is not a small people-carrying carriage, but more like a carriage transporting goods.

Standing up, the knight remained silent.

It is not yet known what is being transported.

However, this mark appeared in the direction pointed by the poor man who was captured.

He had a bad feeling.

I'm afraid that's not the only one who was taken away, there are many more people.

They were even put into carriages like livestock and transported away as goods.

"No, I have to take a look."

His eyes became firm.

Even though the person who was kidnapped should be a Middle Easterner, it is impossible for him to pretend that he didn't see anything when his fellow human beings were treated like this.

The guy who was killed like a butcher was an abyssal creature.

If the abyss creatures want to do something, he has to stop it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Jiang Li began to trace the traces of the ruts.

…………

"The traces are gone."

A man wearing a skull mask looked at the marks on the ground and judged this.

"The captured Apostle No. 2634 is dead." Another person wearing a skull mask said.

"There was a battle here. Maybe Apostle No. 2634 died in the battle."

The apostles of "Assassin", a restoration force in the Middle East, tried to restore the truth.

A group of people from the Middle East were kidnapped by unknown forces. Apostle No. 2634 tracked the relevant clues and then lost the news, leaving only a few hints.

They tracked all the way here, but ultimately failed to save their companions.

Unsurprisingly, the force that arrested people was the Ring Seal Order entrenched deep in the abyss territory.

"Wait, there are additional traces here."

One of the apostles noticed footprints on the ground.

"Are they from the Ring Seal Order?" another Assassin member asked.

The person who found the footprints closed his eyes and felt it.

"I'm not from the Ring Seal Order. There is no disgusting abyss aura left in the footprints." He responded.

"Is it the guy from China who the intermediary commissioned us to track?"

If there is no disgusting abyss breath, then it proves that he is not a guy from the abyss side.

The businesswoman who called herself Goyanskaya commissioned Assassin to kill a guy who called himself "Patch" and give her the head. She was willing to pay a generous reward.

Therefore, when these apostles belonging to Assassin were searching for their captured companions, they did not mind completing the commission smoothly.

"Then continue to follow this footprint. The last place where the captured apostle left his breath is here. Maybe the guy who left the footprints knows something."

"Wait a moment."

An Assassin apostle detected other traces.

"There are traces of burial here. We can dig up and take a look."

There are currently no A-level abyss creatures nearby. With their unique "breath blocking" ability, B-level and below-level abyss creatures cannot detect them unless they are close to a certain distance.

Typically, this distance is in the double digits.

The specific situation is related to the individual's "breath blocking" ability.

The best Apostles of Assassin can walk behind an abyssal creature without being detected, and will not be noticed until an assassination is launched.

The leader of "Assassin" - the high-ranking heroic spirit "Old Man of the Mountain" did better than this when he was still an apostle.

Even if you try to assassinate an abyssal creature, the abyssal creature cannot detect it.

Because it was dead before it could react.

As the apostles dug, they came across a decapitated body.

Judging from his clothing, he is the companion who was captured.

Seeing this scene, every Assassin silently offered the unique etiquette of the Assassination Order.

The sacrifice of every companion is worth remembering.

But all this is for the sake of national restoration.

Completely destroy the abyss territory and rebuild the Middle East——

This is the goal of "Assassin".

The victims will be remembered, and then the comrades will carry the dead on their shoulders and move forward.

Until he falls again.

And then reincarnation happens.

Chapter 59 The knight makes his debut

"..."

He took out a lighter from his pocket, then took out a special portable fuel and poured it on the body.

These items can not only be used to ignite fire, but can also be used to deal with abyss creatures that are afraid of fire, such as B-level human pus, and D-level twisted carrion like slime.

If a companion dies in battle, the companion's body can be turned into ashes to prevent the other party from being contaminated by the abyss and becoming a minion of the abyss.

Such an ending is the one that Assassin is least willing to accept.

The other Assassin apostles lowered their heads and stared at the blazing flames silently.

Another comrade died in the battle, but it didn't matter.

They will inherit his will and continue to fight to banish the Abyss.

Soon, the body was completely burned and the ashes were specially collected by the apostles using magic power.

If conditions permit, they will take away the last remaining ashes of their companions and scatter them on the land of the "Assassin" headquarters.

"You go and take this back."

Assassin, who looked like a leader, ordered.

"Captain, I..."

The person being ordered opened his mouth to say something.

"This is an order. Ashes to ashes, soil to soil. If possible, let all traces of Assassin be engraved on the land of our hometown."

He solemnly handed the urn to the other party.

They are only responsible for the investigation, and they are not the only team responsible for investigating this matter.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you send someone to bring back the ashes of your sacrificed companion.

"...Yes, Captain."

The apostle bowed his head and accepted the order.

Watching the other person's figure disappear over the horizon, the leader looked at the others.

"We continue to investigate and it is important to understand where our fellow citizens were taken."

"Yes."

…………

"Huh? Is there a sound of fighting?"

Jiang Li, who was trying to trace the ruts, noticed a fight happening nearby.

He followed the sound.

There are only two types of existence in the abyss territory, abyssal creatures and humans.

There is no other love than this.

Therefore, since there is a battle taking place, it proves that humans are nearby.

In this case, he, who is just, cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

The traces of the ruts would not disappear immediately, so Jiang Li planned to help those fighting nearby first.

…………

"..."

He bent down to avoid the slash of the extra-large sword.

The hammer and spear struck down with the sound of wind

An ominous light bloomed in his eyes.

The magic eye was activated by Medusa.

As a result, the attack of the hammer spear was slowed down.

Taking this opportunity, she dodged sideways and escaped the siege.

There was pain in my legs.

The maggots that had not been removed clung to the legs, trying to bite through the skin and burrow into the body.

Now, these maggots have bitten through the clothes and are gnawing at the fair skin.

He bent down and wiped the dagger in his hand on his leg, killing some maggots.

There are still a few biting the legs.

These maggots bite very hard, and her magic power is limited. It is impossible for her to use magic power to shake these maggots away.

After all, Medusa was already unable to cope with the siege of the knight monsters.

Magic power needs to be used where it is more needed, such as dealing with the attacks of knights and monsters.

"Boom!"

The sound of a bowstring being loosened sounded.

The crossbow bolt hit the ground and exploded.

The heroic spirit did not escape.

She just slightly adjusted her position so that the maggot-gnawed leg was near the explosive crossbow bolt.

The air wave shook down the maggots that were biting at the calf and even had some maggots inside.

Of course, the debris from the exploding crossbow also scratched her leg.

Regardless of her bloody calf, Medusa was trying to find a way to escape from the siege.

But she couldn't.

Knights holding large shields blocked some directions in which she could break through, and more pale living corpses were piled together, hindering her breakout.

"Damn."
