Demon Sage

v3 Chapter 12: blood and snow

?"How's it going?"

In the mountains and forests, there were several people riding horses in parallel, and the middle one was a blond man with a long sword on his waist, who was asking his companions.

He was not the one who first knew where the vampire castle was, but he was the first alien who knew the news. As the leader of a top alien team in Beluye City, this action was almost always in the initial stage. He went to matchmaking, and finally pulled up such a team.

Now that the day of the operation has come, a group of high-profile heretics who have never appeared in Beiruye City and its surrounding areas suddenly appeared. I had to find a way to confirm it, so after consulting with a few people, I decided to let a stranger with a talent in perception come over to explore.

"That team should be between three and six people, and the leader is a blond young man named Donald Grant, of medium build, I can vaguely sense a mysterious aura about him, maybe a wizard , there is a burly and strong man with two short knives around his waist, a magic weapon, there is a very beautiful woman in the carriage, I can't see the weapon on his body, I can hear other voices inside, but I can't see it their appearance."

He took a sip from the water bladder hanging on the side of the horse, moistened his throat and continued,

"I was talking to Donald Grant all the time, he looked easygoing, didn't look like he was looking for trouble, he said this time he was just passing by and wanted to see the vampire castle, he said they had no intention of fighting for anything things, but only take what they deserve, as long as no one provokes them, they will not take the initiative to pick things up... that's all."

"Just take what you deserve...hopefully."

What they can do now is limited to inquiring about information. They are about to face the vampires, and they can't be in civil strife at this time.

As the heretics gradually deepened into the Quesser Mountains, the last ray of light from the setting sun was obscured by the distant mountains, and the night came on schedule.

Snowflakes scattered from the sky as soon as night fell, falling on the heads of the horses, the coats of the heretics and all the surrounding scenery. Fortunately, there was no sign of expansion. If there is a blizzard, this action I'm afraid I have to go back without even seeing the vampire's face.

Wearing a mechanical mask, Anthony stretched out his hand to wipe over the auricle of the mask, turned on the light on his forehead, and the light immediately cast a spot of light on the snow in front of him.

Donald is also wearing a mask now, but on top of the carriage, there is still an oil lamp about the size of a street lamp in Beluye. The brightness of the light is adjusted to mid-range, which brightens the area around the carriage.

Human beings always pay attention to the light subconsciously in the dark. Most of the heretics around them use lighting devices like miner's hats or kerosene lamps. This side is approaching, and before you know it, there are many strangers around the carriage.

To a certain extent, this is a layer of peripheral defense that Zhu Jue relies on light to create. If there is an attack by dark creatures, these people next to him are the best guards.

"It's really unpredictable. Everyone knows that vampires are the most powerful at night. Looking at the snow around the ankles, how can a less powerful alien fight with a vampire that can give birth to wings? The action time is set in the evening, if the person just now came to explain, I would even have some suspicions that there was a conspiracy involved."

Vampires are sensitive to light and hardly move during the day. In Anthony's opinion, it is best to choose a sunny day to attack the vampire castle. Actions will be more effective with less effort. Therefore, he also privately sought Donald when he knew that he would enter the Quesser Mountains in the evening.

"We humans know that vampires are afraid of light, and they must know better. The secret passage that only appears at night... No wonder this vampire castle can exist for so long."

In the current environment where the vampire clan is being madly suppressed by major sects, and the blood clan castles have fallen one after another, it is quite rare that this blood clan castle can be hidden until now. Naturally, there are special reasons.

That's right, according to the alien who was sent to negotiate before, the vampire castle in the Quesser Mountains should be in a secret realm. The first discovery was a group of hunters. I don't know why, maybe it's just a simple blind cat Encountered with a dead mouse, and entered the secret realm by mistake.

After the aliens in Beiluye City got the exact location, they spent money to ask the nearby old hunters, and they also came to investigate in the middle of the night. The scene when vampires come out of the secret realm to feed at night.

Originally, they had also thought about taking action during the day. If they were lucky, they could get some bombs to blow up the ceiling of the castle. Maybe the treasures in the entire castle would be owned by them.

It turns out that they still think these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years are too simplistic. This enchantment outside the secret will automatically close during the daytime. No matter what method is used, it cannot be opened. It must be possible after the moon appears at night. on.

After bypassing a ridge, the aliens turned to climb the mountain. Donald and his party rode a carriage. Mountaineering was troublesome for them. Fortunately, the **** between the mountains was not too steep. At least for now, the carriage can still move.

They are now in the middle of the team, and there are strangers in the front and back. This is also the result of Donald's deliberate control of the speed of the carriage. He doesn't want to be the first bird or the tail of the crane. The former is too dangerous, and the latter can only be Picking up what others have left can easily be regarded as a priority for the disadvantaged.

However, there are always some people who think first come, first served. The danger of early birds is good, but it is also the easiest to eat the first bite of the freshest worms.

At the forefront of the alien team, the most powerful group of aliens gathered in Beluye City and its surrounding areas. At this time, they were already waiting for the people behind on the halfway of the Kuise Mountains.

"These people are really dawdling, and I feel really unhappy when I think that they will have to share our spoils later."

Carrying two vampires to the middle of the woodland, slapped the snowflakes that accumulated on both sides of the shoulders, and looked back at the aliens who were still behind. The aliens at the end of the team knew that their strength was not good, so they planned to pick up cheap ones. , naturally not welcomed by these pioneers.

"Heh, without these people to spread the firepower and hold back the vampires, we will fight those vampires with us later. Can you bear it? Even if you can, do you have a chance to go into the castle to hunt for treasure?"

The heathen who was checking the equipment looked up at the complaining man and said.

"It's almost there, don't wait any longer. At this distance, they should be able to follow in our footsteps."

The two vampires confirmed that the location of the entrance to the secret realm was correct as they planned, and after a while of busywork, they finally opened the passage through a few wizards who had researched the magic circle. Before entering, there was someone who specifically shouted to the rear, The entrance to the secret realm is only open for fifteen minutes. If you don't enter now, when the secret realm is opened next time, it will be when those who entered first will come out.

This is not the case of course, this is just to give the people behind a sense of urgency, making them think that they can't even drink soup if their feet are slow.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to enter this blood clan castle. Since the two vampires took the initiative to come to investigate the situation, it means that they actually expected the aliens to have this action, but they don't know the exact situation. It’s all about the time and number of people to act, Anthony, remember not to run around in a fight later, leave it to me if you are more than ten meters away, and use this carriage as the boundary within ten meters, you control the front, Lilo is behind.”

Approaching the entrance to the secret realm, Donald stared at the blurred mountain lines in the dark in the distance. The trees in the mountains and forests were full of branches, and the interlaced light and shadow always created the illusion that they would jump out at any time.

"no problem."

Anthony put his legs on the horse's belly, speeding up a little to lead the way in front of the carriage, Lilo got out of the carriage, turned over and got on the roof.

On the other side of the secret realm, more than 20 figures stood still in the snow, dressed in black cloaks, their eyes focused on the dots of fire that gradually emerged from the entrance to the secret realm 100 meters away.

"Kill half of these humans before they reach the castle! Let the gargoyles come first, disrupt their formations and consume their silver weapons."

As soon as the voice fell, the speaker leaned forward. When the body and the snow presented an inclination of nearly 60 degrees, a pair of broad bat wings suddenly opened under the cloak, and led him through the trees. Disappeared in the darkness among the woodlands.

"Start Gargoyle, Raid!"

The vampires behind them raised their hands from their cloaks, and on the tree branches around them, a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes lit up.

Nearly two meters high, the monster covered with stone texture fluttered its wings and flew forward~lightnovelpub.net~ with a humanoid body. The hanging limbs were not divided into hands and feet, but four sharp claws.

People who have just entered the secret realm have not yet adapted to the mental trance when they hear the strange roars in the mountains and forests.

"Enemy attack!"

There is a sturdy man holding a long sword and shouting back, the cheeks on both sides of his mouth are drooping, like two airbags, roaring loudly, this is his talent, so his task It's about delivering messages in a timely manner.

However, just as he reminded the heretics to be careful, he didn't notice that two gargoyles were swooping down in the darkness behind him, their hook claws grabbed each shoulder on one side, and suddenly flapped their wings and pulled them towards both sides.

One second was a living person, the next second it became two pieces of minced meat hanging on the claws, the internal organs were scattered in place, and the blood fell on the body or the top of the aliens below with the flight of the gargoyle. , and more fell on the snow, melting into small holes.

blood, snow.

This moment is indistinguishable from each other.
