The two who had been packing up walked out of the tall castle and walked towards the entrance of the village on the muddy road.

This time, Ethan and Tonks unexpectedly received the attention of the villagers. This time, the villagers were no longer the same as Ethan and Tonks had just come to the village to avoid them.

Instead, they stopped what they were doing, walked out of the house, and saluted Ethan and Tonks, as if they were performing some kind of special ceremony.

Reznov was standing at the gate of the village waiting for Ethan and Tonks.

"This is a special ceremony for our village! A tribute to those who are willing to step out of the fence to fight for our village!" Reznov explained the scene to Ethan and Tonks with a smile.

"Those who are still willing to step out of the village are warriors!" Reznov exclaimed to Ethan and Tonks, "However, there are fewer and fewer people willing to leave the village now."

Speaking of which, Reznov's mood seemed a little low again.

"Children, take this!" At this moment, Aunt O'Neill came out of her tavern and stuffed Ethan with a large bag of bread.

This made Ethan a bit dumbfounded, as if the two were going on a spring outing.

Although Tonks stepped forward to give in several times, Aunt Oni insisted that Ethan and Tonks take the bread she specially baked for them.

Ethan, who couldn't let it go, had no choice but to hand over Aunt O'Neill's bread after thanking him.

After that, Reznov took Ethan aside again and told Ethan a lot of things to pay attention to when entering the forest.

Ethan listened to Reznov's remarks attentively and wrote down some key parts.

Then, the heavy gate of the village was opened, and the cold wind poured into the village from the open gate, which was extraordinarily cold.

Ethan and Tonks stepped out of the village as they stepped on the creaking snow.

The two walked towards the mountain along the road pointed by the housekeeper.

On the way to the mountain on foot, Ethan observed the environment outside the village, and sure enough, despite the long hike, Ethan did not find any wild animals.

It seemed that the housekeeper was right, the wild animals in the mountains were really killed by those dogs.

The two soon reached the foot of the mountain, and following a path up the mountain, Ethan and Tonks walked up the mountain.

The two walked very carefully. Tonks held his wand tightly in his right hand, and Ethan had already brought the long sword back to me, ready to deal with emergencies.

But the two did not encounter any sudden monsters until they climbed to the top of the mountain along the path on the mountain.

At this time, Ethan had fully opened his demon hunting senses, and even his nose was constantly twitching, carefully analyzing all the environmental factors on the top of the mountain.

Unfortunately, there is still nothing to be found. There seems to be no living creatures in this mountain, and it is dead silent.

Tonks stood beside Ethan, not daring to let out the air. She had been with Ethan for a long time, and naturally knew that Ethan was extremely concentrated at this time.

So Tonks held his breath at this time and did not dare to disturb Ethan.

The two carefully searched the top of the mountain. Except for some unusual scratches on some trees, Ethan did not find anything unusual.

"It seems that the group of monsters have all run away, we can go for a walk in the depths of the mountain." Ethan said to Tonks.

Tonks looked hesitant, but still didn't say anything, nodded and agreed to Ethan.

Then the two walked cautiously towards the depths of the mountain.

The air in the mountains was dry and cold, but both of them were wearing magical clothes, so the cold wasn't a big problem.

In order to prevent getting lost in the forest, Ethan made a lot of marks along the way with his dagger.

Unfortunately, even though the two of them explored the depths of the mountain a lot, they still didn't find anything unusual.

As the sky gradually began to darken, Ethan was also ready to give up his exploration and go back to the village temporarily.

After all, the housekeeper had said that those dog people acted at night. It would be very bad if they suddenly encountered a group of dog people in the dark night.

"Okay, we can go back one by one," Ethan said to Tonks just as he was about to say, but his feet softened, and Ethan secretly said something bad, and the snow near Ethan quickly sunk into a large chunk.

Together with Ethan, he fell into this deep hole.

"Ethan!" Tonks screamed, trying to grab Ethan with his hands, but Tonks just ran out.

Ethan fell into the pitch-black hole at once.

After a short fall, Ethan fell heavily to the ground.

The severe pain drowned Ethan in an instant, and Ethan could clearly hear the crisp clicking sound of the bones on his body.

Ethan was crying secretly, he felt that he was injured this time.

"Ethan! How are you? Can you hear what I said? Are you okay?" Tonks' anxious voice came from outside the cave.

Ethan looked up and saw the blue sky outside the small hole. The treetops and Tonks were trying to probe into the hole to find Ethan's head.

"I'm fine!" Ethan tried to make his voice sound calmer.

"Great! Ethan! You're still alive!" Tonks' happy voice came from the entrance of the cave.

But soon Tonks' voice became anxious again. "Did you break there? Can you still stand up? Don't worry! I'll see if I can save you!"

Tonks said loudly at the entrance of the cave.

"I'm okay!" Ethan replied to Tonks.

At the same time, Ethan quickly looked at the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave was obviously some distance from the ground, so Ethan couldn't just go out.

The rest of the cave could not be seen clearly, so Ethan had to take out a bottle of cat potion and poured it with his head held high.

Soon the surrounding dark environment became clear in Ethan's eyes, and Ethan could only inquire about the whole picture of the cave at this time.

The floor of the cave is covered with a large number of various bones.

There are cattle and sheep, all kinds of beasts, and Ethan even saw human bones among them.

The smell of these bones was even more foul, even Ethan frowned.

Ethan also found some strangeness. This is obviously not a natural cave. Ethan found a lot of artificial carving marks in the cave.

Ethan looked up at the entrance of the cave again~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Tonks was still talking to himself worriedly.

"Go back to the village first! There seems to be some mystery in this cave, I want to investigate it!" Ethan said to Tonks.

"What?" Tonks exclaimed in disbelief. "You're taking too much risk! I can't leave you alone in the cave!"

"No! Tonks!" Ethan said, "It's getting late now, you have to go back to the village immediately! Besides, if you go down the hole too, if you encounter any danger, who will save us?"

Ethan told Tonks in a persuasive way.

Tonks thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay," Tonks said to Ethan, "you must go back to the village by tomorrow morning. If you don't come back by morning, I'll find someone else to rescue you!"

Tonks said to Ethan seriously.
