In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

He gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"If we still can't find any clues tonight...we'll go back!"

"understood."

With this ultimatum, everyone looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and took on the task.

Everyone dispersed to search again.

But it wasn't until after dark when everyone gathered together again and looked at each other's slightly empty faces that they understood what was going on.

The leader of the guards didn't say much, just nodded and stayed there temporarily.

He will take his men back early tomorrow morning.

But things don't always go as we wish.

into the night.

The guard in charge of night watch yawned boredly and carefully stirred the campfire with the branch in his hand.

The dim forest is too far away to see... the pure darkness is about the most primitive fear of human beings.

"It's strange... Young Master, you're living a good life, why would you run away?"

Perhaps because they were too bored, one guard asked another, his voice sounding a little helpless.

At this age, wouldn't it be better for someone of the young master's status to stay at home and be a rich man?

Even if you are not willing to be ordinary, there are still many things to choose from.

Why do you want to be a field investigator?

After quarreling with the city lord, he ran out to this kind of place alone.

You know, even a skilled mountain worker wouldn't dare to enter such a mountain easily, right?

God knows what's in here.

"Who says it's not true? I heard that the young master listened to the nonsense of a group called... the Shanhai Clan and insisted on believing in some giant beast. In my opinion, what's the point of believing this or that? Just being alive is enough."

"Ugh."

Several guards complained uneasily.

And in the forest, some kind of air flow was slowly surging.

Another few minutes passed.

Suddenly, a guard raised his head sharply.

He looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The bonfire beside was dancing restlessly.

"Hey...do you feel anything strange?"

"Strange place?"

Hearing his companion's question, the other person also frowned.

After looking around carefully for a few times, he shook his head helplessly.

"Are you overthinking it? We've been stationed here for almost a week, and nothing has happened...Are you being too sensitive?"

“No… No!”

The other guard was not affected by his companion's inertial thinking.

He looked around carefully, and the more he observed, the more depressed and uneasy he felt.

The forests are quite dark, but... they are never so dark that even light can't penetrate.

Without any hesitation, he decisively picked up a red-hot piece of wood and threw it in a direction.

The companion next to him wanted to give a warning.

But then, seeing the block of wood suddenly disappear into the darkness, his expression changed drastically in an instant!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

He immediately shouted, holding up his weapon, his face solemn.

The companions around them who were awakened hurriedly raised their weapons and began to gather.

"Enemy attack? Where is the enemy?"

Everyone stood back to back, forming a circle, pointing their spears in every direction around them.

Many of them are still confused.

I looked around but didn't see any monsters.

But the captain in charge frowned.

"Did you really see the enemy?"

"...No, Captain, I didn't see it."

The two night watchmen who woke up the other guards also answered very honestly.

But they still added one more sentence.

"But the surroundings are... strange."

"around?"

The other companions were somewhat confused by each other's words.

They looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally stared at the black fog around them seriously.

Can……

"Isn't this normal?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Just by looking, it was indeed difficult for them to notice anything wrong with the black fog.

But the leader seemed to have discovered something at this moment, and his pupils suddenly widened!

"Get away!"

He growled and suddenly threw his companions away with a spear!

Before the guards around could react to what was happening, they were knocked to the ground by a single shot.

But when they hurriedly raised their heads.

However, he discovered that an attack of unknown origin had penetrated his boss' chest.

Blood was oozing from his mouth and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

That thin leather armor is not enough to protect its own safety!

"Boss!"

There were sudden exclamations and everyone stood up hurriedly, trying to protect each other.

But the leader's eyes widened.

Even if it’s only for a moment…

Although there was only the sound of a blink of an eye in the darkness, he had already seen the attacker!

Yes……

It’s their young master!

but……

how come? !

The captain of the guards widened his eyes.

He tried to get up and asked questions about the black fog around him.

But the blood from his pierced chest kept flowing like a stream, stinging his every breath.

He was in more and more pain and discomfort...

He has been in the army for quite a few years now, so he naturally knows that what he saw was definitely not the real young master.

Absolutely, absolutely...something is affecting his mind.

What he wanted to do was to question the other party whether it was really him who killed his young master.

Struggling.

But when the man stood up, he was horrified to find that his fellow guards had lost their minds.

They murmured to themselves, stretched out their hands in astonishment towards the black fog around them, and walked into it with an expression of disbelief on their faces!

An example of losing oneself in a daze.

"Wake up! Everyone wake up!"

The man roared, trying to awaken their minds.

But unfortunately, they seemed to be possessed at this moment and had no mood to listen to the man's words.

They were like puppets, being attracted by something in the black fog.

Not everyone is like him, an orphan who grew up with no parents and only followed the Li family...

"damn it!"

The man struggled, trying to get up.

He tried to control the actions of others.

No matter what, they must not get close to the black fog.

But unfortunately, the wound on his chest made his movements even more hesitant and painful.

"No! Don't go in! Listen to my orders!"

He growled, making a deafening sound.

But the soldiers around them seemed to have completely lost their ability to think, and could hear no other sounds. They walked step by step into the black fog...

then……

In front of him, one by one... shattered...

"!"

Suddenly, the man fell from the ground.

He looked around in astonishment, cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

On the side, the brothers who were safe and sound just looked at their boss strangely.

"What's wrong, Boss?"

They all stopped the equipment they were exercising with and looked at each other with strange expressions.

The man then realized that he was actually lying on the training ground, covered with a quilt...

"This……"

"this."

The brothers looked at each other and scratched their heads in embarrassment.

They looked at the man's puzzled expression and spoke.

"We saw that you were so tired that you were about to fall asleep, so we borrowed a blanket from Auntie to prevent you from catching a cold... Come to think of it, if you really can't do it, just rest for a while. You've been so tired recently."

"Yeah, Boss, why don't you just take a break?"

Everyone began to respond.

The man looked around in confusion.

After a moment, he suddenly became furious.

"Do you think I would stay in such a place?"
