Nightmare Corrosion

"Including the hunters and herb collectors who entered the forest, we have a total of six missing people, but the only one we can find is the one in front of us."

The old butler's voice was a little raspy. He was standing next to Lu En. This was not because he had a cold due to the weather, but because he was covering his nose with a piece of cloth, hoping to block the pungent smell in the air.

There was a smell of blood and decay.

On the ground in front of him, covered with white cloth, lay a terrifying corpse, or it could be said to be a corpse.

It can be seen that this person should have been a human being in life, but what is left now is only half a broken skull, a smashed thigh bone and some fragments of the sternum, along with some other dirty tissues, exuding an ominous smell. The smell of nausea.

The servants of the castle have been driven far away. Now, apart from the housekeeper and the captain of the guard beside him, the only one left here is Lu En, who is squatting in front of the wreckage and concentrating.

"The news hasn't spread yet, but the blockade won't last long as it will cause panic among the residents of the territory!"

The burly guard captain, who was also controlled by witchcraft and was loyal to Lu En, took a step forward, bowed to Lu En and said, "Sir, I apply to go to war and lead the guard team to deal with this beast!"

"The guards cannot be mobilized easily. You shoulder the important task of protecting the earl!"

The old housekeeper frowned and objected.

"It's just a ferocious beast. Leave it to the hunters to deal with, or hire those dirty and shameless mercenaries and greedy hyenas in Macca City."

"Are you saying that we are worse than those hyenas?"

The guard captain's eyes widened immediately. Although they were both loyal to Lu En, this only distorted the object of his loyalty and did not completely change a person's temperament. Therefore, it was normal for the two to conflict.

"I have no doubt that on a frontal battlefield, you can cut off the heads of ten hyenas, but what you need to protect is not the humble citizens, but the noble Earl in front of you!"

The old housekeeper shook his head slightly, looked at the guard captain whose face was stagnant, bowed to Lu En and said: "Sir, I think using some insignificant money to buy those cheap mercenaries is the best choice now. ”

"You have a point."

Lu En clapped his hands and stood up, took off his gloves and threw them aside, looking at the old butler.

"But it's not an ordinary beast that caused all this!"

Lu En walked up to the two of them, looked at their confused expressions, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"What is the most powerful beast in this forest?"

The captain of the guard took a step forward and replied in a deep voice: "Sir, there are groups of forest wolves and violent brown bears!"

"Brown bear or wolf"

Lu En sneered. It was clear that such an expression on a child's face was meant to be described as cute, but both of them felt a chill in their hearts and directly ignored the age of the adult in front of them.

"Can they crush a person's skull, or can they squeeze a person's sternum dry like sugar cane and spit it out, or can they actively distinguish and discard the dirty parts of the human body?"

Now Lu En, who is quite proficient in anatomy and biological structure, has slowly sketched an image in his mind.

He is at least twice as tall as an ordinary person, has extraordinary strength, has sharp and dense teeth, and is very agile in his movements. Such a huge body does not leave many traces, indicating that this guy must have a lot of intelligence.

Is this the danger in the forest that the mysterious man warned about?

Lu En did not expect that the other party's warning was like words, and things happened suddenly just after it passed, but this was exactly what he wanted.

"But my lord, if it's not a wolf or a bear, what kind of beast is it?"

The guard captain followed Lu En with a confused expression.

"I'm also curious about this question."

Lu En grinned: "But I thought of a good way, maybe I can know the answer."

He turned around and walked towards the dungeon.

The night is dark and the sky is dark tonight.

When everything was quiet, the gate of the castle, originally named Windsor Castle, now called Green Castle, opened wide, and the crisp sound of horse hooves sounded, followed by a group of knights wearing black armor and red eyes. They filed out, followed by three carriages, and quietly followed the road into the darkness.

There were no lit torches, and no words were spoken. Only the breathing of the horses and the occasional roar from the carriage broke the silence around them.

From the stone road to the muddy road, the team kept moving forward silently, like the legendary Ghost Rider, until it suddenly stopped after almost an hour and a half.

Hundreds of meters away, the standing trees were like a prone monster, intertwining together into a deeper darkness. The window of the front carriage was pushed open, revealing a warm light yellow light. Come.

A child can be seen slowly closing the book in his hand.

"Are you here already? Open the carriage at the back."

The puppet knight beside him remained silent, stretched out his hand to draw out his long sword, and then suddenly cut off the iron chains wrapped around the two carriages following him. A fishy roar immediately sounded in Lu En's ears, accompanied by the activity of some huge creature. The movement was rapidly approaching Lu En.

Soon, outside the light, three pairs of eyes reflecting scarlet light lit up, looking at Lu En quietly.

"Number one."

Lu En spoke softly, and a ferocious head suddenly appeared in the darkness. His eyes looking at Lu En were filled with admiration and expectation. He wanted to get closer but was afraid of the revealed light.

"Father."

Bang!

A puppet knight threw the thing in his hand in front of No. 1. After rolling a few times, it picked it up in his hand. It was a half-human skull, and the brains, including flesh and blood, had been licked by some kind of creature. Clean and tidy.

"Follow the smell, find it, and bring it to me."

Lu En looked at No. 1 with a certain kind of warmth in his eyes. No. 1 suddenly opened his eyes wide, showing great excitement and joy, like a child who was eager for care and was encouraged by his parents, and suddenly let out a cry. roar.

"Roar!"

"Father."

Next to No. 1, another timid voice sounded. It seemed that he also wanted to be encouraged by Lu En, but he was immediately knocked to the ground by No. 1 and punched in the face.

"Go and bring it back, dead or alive!"

Luen has become accustomed to this kind of situation. There is no concept of friendship between these Luoluo monsters. There is only the leader and the ruled. Luen originally prepared five test subjects, but one failed along the way, and there was another one. , but when he was discovered the next day, he had been beaten to death by No. 1.

The reason was just a casual compliment from Lu En.

Carrying the other two Loluo monsters, No. 1 went directly into the forest, sniffing the smell left in the air, and soon disappeared.

Lu En calmed his expression, his eyes returned to indifference, and he closed the window.

"Go back, the housekeeper and the others must be going crazy."
