Pirate's Devouring Fruit

Chapter 124 "Hunter" Island ([-])

In the dark night, the figures of Dawn and the others were quietly reflected in the owl's eyes.

At this moment, Dawn and the others have entered the forest like a dark curtain. The dense forest has already lost the daytime scenery at this moment, and the faint moonlight gives people a sense of bleakness.

All that leaked in this dark forest was silence, the leaves of the forest were rustling by the wind, and the roar of beasts that appeared suddenly from time to time made people feel hairy.

However, it doesn't matter.

At least this is the case for Dawn and his party. Not to mention this kind of king's hunting garden, Dawn and the others have lived in the deserted island of the New World. The force value of animals there cannot be trapped by mere walls.

Because Sola is the fruit of the tiger of the animal family, the eyesight of a tiger at night is six times that of a human, and so is Sola in the form of a half-orc.

So for this night operation, Sola, who has excellent eyesight, is in charge of scouting the surrounding environment.

Standing on the protective wall and looking into the wall, Dawn found that the trees around the wall had been cut down like a firebreak, but beyond here was the city wall to prevent wild animals from escaping, and he didn't know how to cut down these trees. What is it for.

"Could it be that wood is needed, and the surrounding trees are cut down in order not to damage the environment of the hunting ground?" Dawn thought for a while and put his doubts behind him. Let's wait and see for now.

After Dawn made the empty ladder, several people came down from the wall of six or seven meters one by one. The scene that caught Sola's eyes first made Sora look around and enter a fighting state in an instant.

"What's the matter?" The knowledgeable Dawn was the first to notice that Sola was wrong, and swiped in the direction Sola was looking at with a domineering look.

The others immediately entered into a fighting state upon hearing the words, ready to strike at any time.

"There's a corpse over there." Sora pointed to a direction full of darkness.

Dawn pondered for a moment and said: "Go over and have a look, Sola be careful around."

Following Sola to the direction of the corpse, only a few people found a corpse leaning against the protective wall.

Judging by his attire, the clothes on the corpse looked shabby, and the large and small wounds on his body proved that he had suffered many injuries before his death, but what caught his attention was an arrow stuck in his neck.

"We also walked from the center of the forest before, so this could not be the corpse calling for help!" Although Sola has a carefree personality, he can't help guessing with his intuition when he thinks about what Uncle Tucker said before.

"It's very possible, and this corpse was obviously killed by humans. Even if the king didn't collect his corpse, why wasn't it eaten by animals?" Tina asked with a serious expression.

Berigold shook his head: "It's not clear, but why don't we touch the corpse, maybe it's poisonous."

Dawn patted the silent Hawkins on the shoulder: "Hawkins' situation is a bit beyond our expectations, please make up for our safety during this trip."

"I see."

A few straws appeared on Hawkins' body, and then he took out the card and placed it on top of the erected thin straw, turned over the card, and the corner of Hawkins' mouth slightly raised: "We have a 90% chance of surviving this operation." .”

"So there is almost no danger on this trip?" Sola was naturally the first to accept this answer, because being safe means that you can continue your "adventure".

Dawn's curiosity was also completely aroused at this moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to move on, but he still said seriously on the surface:

"Since Hawkins' divination shows that there is basically no danger, let's move on and see what the hell is going on here, but we must be careful not to be discovered. Once our identities are revealed, it will be very troublesome."

"Understood." Everyone nodded and continued walking towards the center of the hunting ground.

Along the way, several people deliberately slowed down in order to keep quiet, but even so, it only took three to ten minutes to reach the central area of ​​the hunting ground.

As for why it is so sure that this is the central area, it is naturally not what Dawn and the others think, but that there is a barbed wire fence as high as the outer city wall.

Those barbed wires alternate horizontally and vertically to form a large airtight net. The densely packed holes are covered by the criss-crossed nets. The meshes on the top are so small that even larger insects cannot penetrate. prick.

Just getting close to here, one can smell the bloody smell floating in the air. This pungent smell seems to have settled here, lingering in everyone's noses and lingering.

After punching, they found that there was nothing useful, so Dawn and the others decided to take a look inside the iron cage.

Stepping on the empty ladder made by Dawn to enter the towering iron cage, after several people walked down the empty ladder, they found that there was more blood clotted inside.

The bloodstains on the iron net had dried up and turned black, dyeing the entire iron net black, as if this huge iron cage was like a giant beast that chose to eat people.

After walking around the iron cage for a certain distance, Sola found that the iron cage was almost covered with black dried blood, and there was also black blood left on the ground.

Hearing what Sola said, everyone's faces also became ugly. They thought that the corpse before and the scene in the iron cage reminded them of bad things.

"The dried blood is almost everywhere. I can't imagine how many lives this king has hunted here. It's almost time for the slaughterhouse."

Sora pinched his nose with one hand, and fanned his face with the other, as if this could drive away the bad smell in the air.

Dawn said with a serious face: "Go on and on. I seem to have heard a little movement just now. We have to be careful. Sola, go ahead and report the situation at any time. It seems that there are some beasts here to avoid carefully."

"Leave it to me." At this moment, in the darkness, in order not to attract attention, so now Dawn and the others mainly rely on Sola's night vision for their exploration.

Sola took the lead and went forward. Although he encountered a few wolves on the way, there was no wave at all in the hands of Dawn and the others.

After walking a distance of about [-] meters, Sola looked ahead and stopped to report: "Dawn, there is a hut here."

Berigold wondered: "Why is there a hut here, isn't it a hunting ground? Is it a place for the king to rest temporarily?"

"Go and see first."

Dawn led a group of people to the hut. The dilapidated wooden door was unlocked, and the knowledgeable domineering had already fed back the news that there was no one in Dawn's house.

Signaling that there was no danger, Sola directly pushed open the wooden door, and the creaking sound resounded in the darkness.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Sora looked at the surrounding environment.

There is only an old hardwood bed in the dilapidated hut. There is basically no workmanship on the bed, as if a few broken boards and some straw have been put together randomly to make a bed. .
Sola turned his head and took a look, and found several black suspected food-like objects scattered on the corner of the ground, other than that, there was nothing else in the room.

No, maybe the little dried black blood stains on the walls, the floor, and the straw bed can also be regarded as a kind of "thing".

Walking out of the house, Sola shook his head to express that he didn't notice it, but he already had a bad premonition in his heart. All the signs along the way indicated that this place was not just a simple hunting ground.

Just when several people looked at Sola who came out and wanted to ask something, a scream suddenly sounded in the quiet night sky.
