Chapter 14: The sound of horseshoes in the mist

　　 The fog in the forest is getting heavier and heavier. In the afternoon, even experienced demon hunters can’t tell the direction. Fortunately, they can point out the direction before they can move on. The small team of thirteen people couldn't meet end to end. Amidst the warnings of the demon hunters, everyone stared carefully at the shoulders of the people in front.
　　 Ted, who was walking in the front, motioned everyone to stop and rest, and walked to the demon hunter's side with the captain. The rest of the people formed a circle and took time to rest.
　　 "What's wrong?" Xu Yichen asked while looking at Ted, who was looking heavy.
　　 "It's not right. We have been walking for nearly five hours. At our speed we should be able to see the Arnhem River, but look!" Ted pointed at the stream beside him.
　　 The stream of the stream flows leisurely, the stream is crystal clear, but even Xu Yichen knows that if it is close to the fork of the river, the current should be much turbulent, not like it is now.
　　 "I grew up in the forest. I have never seen such a fog in thirty years." Ted looked at the demon hunter Gangze and Captain Rockefeller with his eyes, hoping to get answers from his companions.
Captain Rockefeller glanced at the Demon Hunter and said: "I once encountered a heavy fog on the sea. At that time, we had six ships in total, heading to Florida in the New World, and we can see Flory on the last day. We reached the strait, and as a result, there was a heavy fog that morning. We sailed in the fog for two days and one night, but could not pass through the fog. The magnetic compass pointer on the ship was fine. The direction shows that everything is normal, our heading is correct, but at our speed, we should have set the boat into Miami."
The old captain squinted his eyes, and the dense fog around him made him seem to be back in those desperate days: "Then, the fog suddenly cleared, and the Celeste disappeared completely. Poseidon, on the fog. Less than half an hour before dispersing, I also asked the wizard and the captain of the ship to determine each other’s position, it was less than 200 meters to my right. There was also the poor Rosari, at the forefront of the fleet. Navigator, when we found out that it had a problem, there was no one on it, not even rats or cockroaches—"
　　 "Captain, you are very lucky!" Demon hunter Gang Ze interrupted Captain Rockefeller's memory: "I guess your cabin is full of slaves from the Black Continent, isn't it?"
　　 The awkward expression of the old captain indirectly answered the demon hunter's question.
"There is no time to waste on horror stories. As long as you know, this thing is very dangerous, very dangerous." The demon hunter said coldly: "It is dangerous. If you thoroughly understand the truth, there will be someone like me. People came to talk to you, do you know what I mean, Captain?"
　　 Under the direct gaze of the demon hunter, Xu Yichen saw the old captain nodded stiffly, not even daring to wipe the cold sweat on his face.
　　 Ted is a clever man. He did not continue to ask this question. After a ten-minute break, he asked the team to continue to bury their heads along the stream. The team was silent for a while.
----------------Dividing line----------------
　　 "You don't seem to like talking to them?" Xu Yichen, who was walking at the back of the team, whispered to Gang Ze, the demon hunter.
The thick fog clearly made the demon hunter unhappy. He turned his head and looked at Xu Yichen: "I am 264 years old. All my contemporaries are dead or missing and become demon hunters. After the hunter, you won’t want to know these mortals anymore in a few years."
　　Looking at Xu Yichen's young face, the demon hunter was silent for a while: "However, most apprentices have to pass their first 100 years before they can realize this, if they didn't die in the monster's mouth before then."
　　 Xu Yichen obviously cannot understand the world view of the longevity species. As a player, he does not worry that he will encounter such troubles in the future: "What do you know about these fogs? Sir?"
"Someone is opening the door of the Chaos World. Every time this happens, it means that a guardian has failed to complete their mission." The voice of the demon hunter Gangsawa revealed a strong dissatisfaction: "I should have anticipated that it would not be possible in advance. Trust those religious lunatics. These thick fog can disturb people’s perception. After a while, you may smell the smell of sulfur, or you may feel the temperature drop. The most likely thing is to encounter a bunch of disgusting large bugs. , The focus depends on the situation on the other side of the door."
Sir Gangze then took this opportunity to spread the knowledge of the Demon Hunter to his apprentices: "As an apprentice, you shouldn’t let you know this knowledge before you can complete the Valley Trial, but in the current situation, you only Learn what you can meet first."
"Every time you open the door to the chaotic world, you need hundreds of creatures to sacrifice their flesh and soul. According to the current situation, at least two thousand people are needed. The soul and body of intelligent creatures are Chaos’ favorite sacrifice. I don’t know how long we have, but when danger comes, you need to participate in the battle as a demon hunter. Any weak behavior, I will never show mercy!" Hunter Gangze's expression is solemn and his words are cold. Anyone can easily tell that he is not joking.
　　 "We will not let the demon hunters be ashamed!" Xu Yichen also replied decisively.
　　 As time passed, the forest began to darken slowly again, driving through the mist all day, leaving everyone exhausted, even the white wolf of the demon hunter stuck out his tongue and gasped.
　　 Captain Rockefeller slowly approached Xu Yichen, and whispered: "Xu, are you a demon hunter now?"
　　 Xu Yichen looked at the captain who spoke carefully and was afraid of being heard by Gangze, smiled and replied: "Yes, I am still an apprentice now, why are you so afraid of him?"
The old captain looked around: "Have you never heard of them before? Demon hunters specialize in hunting witches and monsters, and they are immortal like vampires. All those who know their whereabouts and those who have news of their interest are there. After being visited, they were all killed!"
　　 "Most of them are captains based on false rumors." Xu Yichen explained: "Do you think I am like a guy who can kill people indiscriminately? They just live too long and don't want to have anything to do with ordinary people."
　　 "So, they are really immortal like vampires!?" Captain Rockefeller clearly grasped the point.
　　 At this moment, a strange horn sounded in the fog, as if it was the wailing of a creature before it died, with a twilight, strange sense of desolation.
　　 "Run! Run! Don't stop forward!" The demon hunter shouted, urging everyone.
　　 The survivors became nervous, everyone heard the sense of urgency in the words of the demon hunter, everyone began to desperately squeezed their little physical strength, trying to speed up.
　　 Xu Yichen approached Sir and asked what was approaching. The demon hunter had no time to explain, but simply replied, "Not the worst kind."
　　 "If you are caught up, these mortals can't escape, you and I can only fight to the death." Handing Xu Yichen a short sword from the sailor, the demon hunter exhorted.
The intermittent horn sounded from all directions, persevering in chasing the team of survivors, everyone tried their best to stay behind. The youngest Sildor was on the back of the white wolf, looking around nervously, a pair His eyes were wide, and he felt that the guard's mist was tumbling and twisting, and it seemed that monsters would burst out of the mist at any time.
Xu Yichen could feel a strong sense of uneasiness rising from the bottom of his heart, and the sound of his heartbeat filled his ears like a war drum. The sweat on his body wetted the bandage, and the pain in the wound caused him to slow down involuntarily. The demon hunter pushed his back with his hands, reducing his pressure.
Running non-stop, I don’t know how long it lasted. The guard with a injured knee was the first to hold on. Although Ted and another strong sailor kept driving him forward, he inevitably slowed down the whole team. speed.
　　 "Give up on me, I'm out of strength!" The guard struggled to get rid of the help from Ted.
"What are you talking about! I can't throw yourself here, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, we are not dead in the orc camp, how could we fall on the way home?!" Ted roared. He put the guard on his shoulders and continued to run forward without any explanation.
　　 The captain sighed and helped to support the body of the guard behind. Everyone knew that Ted could not hold on for long, and Syldo was riding on the white wolf's back, gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say.
　　 A disgusting feeling, telling Xu Yichen in perception that the right front is dangerous! Death is already waiting!
　　 "Danger!" Xu Yichen gave a loud warning, then pointed to the left: "Go over there!"
　　The Demon Hunter thought quickly, and decisively believed Xu Yichen's words: "Go to the other side!"
　　The survivor who had lost the ability to judge, under the command of the demon hunter, turned around the stream and ran in the other direction without hesitation.
　　 The shadow of the night enveloped the forest. Against the background of the fog, the tall trees were like arms with teeth and claws, pressing them from all around, holding them tightly and staying in this jungle forever.
The speed of the survivor who lost a lot of stamina in the running began to slow down. Ted's eyes were red, and he was completely supported by willpower. Now he has lost the power to speak, and every step seems to be the last step in life. Finally, Taylor tripped to the ground by a raised stone. The wounded who fell to the ground patted him the back, took out a necklace from his arms and handed it to Ted. He meant that everyone understand.
　　 "No! I can still..." Ted struggled to get up, but his trembling legs told everyone that this was an impossible task.
　　 "Don't talk!" The demon hunter whispered, "I heard the sound of horseshoes ahead!"
