Chapter 498: The Devil’s Valley
Chapter 491 – Devil’s Valley
After completing the mutual introduction, Hadil really gained the right to speak in the temporary squad, now he just needs to gradually build up his prestige, even if he enters the Demon Association, he will have a few more helpers, which can be of no small help to his future development.
Different origins, different ways, so that the squad line of people so complete the positioning, not to say that the dragon born of a dragon and phoenix, the son of a mouse will hit the hole, sometimes it is really the origin of the fate of the decision.
But what will be the future of these people who can know, if it is not in order to break through the restriction of the dead rank, no one is willing to join the Devil Association as an apprentice with a strange high mortality rate, so no one will always be willing to be a small, can have the opportunity to get ahead, the knife in the back is certainly not slow to stab.
Not yet contaminated a few people cooperation is still tacit understanding, since childhood with their father to go hunting outside the city of the two brothers did not lose their way, and also know the direction of the wilderness a few dangerous places, among them there is the Devil’s Valley.
Thinking about it, they knew what would happen if an ordinary person mistakenly entered the Devil’s Valley, and it was normal for it to become a forbidden place.
With the two brothers leading the way, a few people traveled a lot fewer detours and avoided some common dangers, which made Haldir couldn’t help but praise his vision in choosing people.
“There are fog wolf footprints, they’re fresh.” The hunter brother got down and carefully observed the footprints, making a judgment and then said to Haldir.
“How many?” Hadir gripped the hilt of his sword, still calm.
“Three to four heads.” The brothers concluded after glancing at each other.
This was generally the number of the smallest group of fog wolves, and it was not a big threat to their group.
Fog wolves were not considered large wolves, weighing only fifty to sixty pounds, and their bite strength was average, so they would not easily take action against larger creatures like people, because the success rate of hunting was too low and they were easily injured, so unless they had a numerical advantage or were too hungry, they would actively avoid them.
These common sense Hadil specifically looking for the hunters outside the city to understand, sniffed with relief, but still said.
“Do not be careless, in addition to the fog wolves, the bandits outside the city are the most dangerous, so Hammer, protect Jinx.”
“Good.” Iron Hammer nodded and stood towards Jinx’s side.
Actually, what Haldir said wasn’t right, because generally the bandits outside the city were more dangerous than the Misty Wolves, but it had to depend on when and to whom.
Everyone knew that today was the time when the Demon Association recruited new recruits, really killing these future demon apprentices angered those Demon Warlocks, they wanted to die faster than they could even dream of.
So even if the newcomers want to do it, those veterans will also personally solve these unstable factors, after all, you can’t expect the Demon Warlock to distinguish who is the murderer, the usual practice is to kill all the people within the range.
Therefore bandits who are afraid of being implicated usually stay away from this direction on this day, so there’s no need to worry about bandits.
This was something Hadir knew of course, but it helped him to strengthen his grip on the squad, and thus learned to keep his eyes open.
However, Hadir’s command was not useless, because not much farther, a tall and thin silhouette scurried past them like a gust of wind, not waiting for them to react, they heard a gust of howling wolves, now the crowd did not know that they were being used as a scapegoat. The tall and thin man was alone, so he was targeted by a few fog wolves, he couldn’t run away, he could only sacrifice a few random passers-by to save his life, he had no psychological burden about it, so he didn’t even leave a warning.
Fortunately, the hunter brothers is not the first time to encounter this situation, as often in the city outside the activities of the hunters, pit people and be pit has long been accustomed to, so immediately led the crowd to avoid the fog wolf pursuit route.
Because they were outnumbered, the cold light of their weapons was still quite intimidating, so the pursuing fog wolves only looked at them for a few moments before continuing to go after their previous prey.
This was the wisest choice, the first prey had already consumed quite a bit of stamina, and the number of newly appeared prey was too much, turning to hunt new prey while consuming quite a bit of stamina was definitely a wrong decision.
After avoiding an encounter as a scapegoat, the rest of Jinx’s party’s journey went smoothly, and although they occasionally heard screams in the distance, they still managed to arrive at the entrance of the Devil’s Valley before nightfall.
But no one dared to let their guard down at this time, because they had grown up listening to the horror stories of the Devil’s Valley, and knew very well that many of them were not fictional, at least there were real devils in the Devil’s Valley.
“Come in with me.” Enya walked out from the Devil’s Valley and said indifferently to Jinx, as for the other few people, they didn’t even have the qualifications to let her take more than a glance, let’s just get through the Devil’s Blood Ceremony first.
“Okay teacher.” Jinx immediately recognized the teacher that she only had a one-sided relationship with, and also the culprit who almost pitted her to death with a single sentence, but at this moment it was her lifesaver, so after nodding to the few people from Hadir, she didn’t dare to have any delays to follow after the teacher who had already turned to leave.
Hadil enviously looked at Jinx leaving, he knows very well, not every newcomer can succeed in becoming a real apprentice, many Demon Warlocks are just looking for some sacrifices in the name of apprenticeship, the big thing is to say that they didn’t go through the Demon Blood Ceremony on the line.
But Jinx’s teacher was willing to come to the mouth of the valley to pick her up, undoubtedly is truly regarded as an apprentice, it can be said that Jinx has already exceeded ninety-nine percent of the apprentices.
The good thing is that he took care of each other along the way, and in the future, if he begged each other, there must be more or less a favor in the head.
At this time Jinx simply do not know also get along with less than a day of temporary teammates have thought so much, she stepped into the Devil’s Valley after a heart after the teacher’s back do not dare to relax for a moment, because here is really too scary.
Devil’s Valley perennial fog does not dissipate, everywhere is wet, full of moss and other plants, the only good thing is that because of the existence of demons, so there are not many snakes and insects, but the bad thing is that this place eats people.
A group of no human-like demons equipped with rudimentary weapons are patrolling the valley, staring at her straight drooling, if not scrupulous Enya did not go far, afraid to come up directly to gnaw on the raw.
These demons are fusion of demon flesh and blood failure, many are demon warlocks to cope with the errands out of the newcomers, they are too lazy to use the complex ritual of demon blood, fusion of some random demon flesh and blood on the ritual failure, anyway, no one cares about the newcomers of the dead and alive, so the demon valley more and more demonic creatures, so they arranged for them to patrol, is considered a waste of time and use.
In addition to these demonic creatures, the valley is full of traces of blood sacrifice, occasionally see one or two living people also come and go in a hurry, and vigilant beyond measure, ready to strike at any time, which makes Jinx shudder, but also do not dare to follow and lose Enya’s back.
Although the two sides only met for the second time, but Jinx has clearly realized that the teacher is her only dependence in the Devil’s Valley, and this is also Enya’s purpose, after all, she and this apprentice can not have much emotional basis to speak, the only way to let the other side to produce fear and dependence, in order to continue.
