Chapter 4, follow up
Above the vast wasteland, you can't see the border at first sight.
There are various powerful monsters living on this wasteland, and the wasteland is close to the demon race. Therefore, except for well-equipped and powerful mercenaries and adventurers, ordinary races dare not wander on this wasteland.
………
After all, in the eyes of many weak races, demons are one of the most unprovoked races, because they are naturally ferocious, that is, bloody and cruel, although the higher demons are not as ugly as they imagined.
But the lower-level demons really look like ferocious, and because they are naturally strong, most of them are bloodthirsty and fierce people.
Especially in previous wars with the human race, the demons seem even more rude and bloodthirsty, because demon soldiers often tear the human race soldiers apart on the battlefield, so it is reasonable for those small races to fear the demons.
However, at this time, next to a stream in the wasteland, an adventure team with more than ten people was staying by the stream to rest. Although there were only a dozen people, the lineup was very professional, including warlocks, warriors, priests, hunters, and two wooden spirit girls holding bows and arrows. Obviously, this is a very perfect adventure team, and it is not difficult to see from their exquisite equipment that the combat effectiveness of this adventure team must be quite strong.
"Captain Barlow, you will reach the border of the demons further. If you move forward, there will be a demon. My suggestion is that we cannot move further. A middle-aged man in a hunter outfit told a burly man in armor.
The burly man lowered his head and thought: We went out to find the lady this time. If we didn't find it, we would go back. I'm afraid we won't be able to get a job. And according to the clues about the lady's final disappearance, we may have entered the territory of the demon clan. If we can act carefully, we may not encounter the demon clan.
"So I decided to keep moving forward with caution. What do you guys think?"
All the team members looked at each other and didn't say anything. Even though the captain had decided, the other team members would not object on the spot even if they were unwilling to do so. After all, they came here with their salary this time. If they could not find the lady, they would be severely punished when they returned.
Moreover, the candidates for the captain are generally held by people with high prestige and strong strength and rich experience. Therefore, once the captain makes a decision, it is difficult to refute anything as a team member.
However, just as everyone was about to pack up and set off, the middle-aged hunter suddenly moved his ear and immediately crawled on the ground, signaling other team members not to make noises, then put his ears on the ground, and listened for a while.
Then he looked at the burly man and said, "Captain, there is a group of people running towards us from the demons ahead. And the sound of their messy footsteps is not like a demon or a monster, but more like a group of ordinary humans."
Captain Barlow immediately frowned and said, "Cleaning the traces on the scene, scattering and hiding, and be ready for battle at any time."
After waiting for a while, a group of humans with panic and ragged clothes ran and appeared in the sight of the adventure team members. When the group of humans saw the stream ahead from afar, they were both excited and shouted, and then ran towards the stream without hesitation, burying their heads in the water without regard for their image, drinking their heads in the water, and then some people burst into tears.
Captain Barlow, who was observing in secret, was stunned and pondered for a moment. When did there be no force in the wasteland appear on the wasteland? Then he stood up and called on all the adventurers to appear with weapons to surround the more than a hundred humans.
Suddenly, screams came one after another, and a group of people squeezed together, looking at the adventure team that suddenly appeared in front of them.
After seeing that there was no danger, Captain Barlow signaled to the team members around and asked them to put down the weapons in their hands.
Then he asked in his Hong Ke's voice: "Who are you? Why did you appear on the border of this demon for no reason?
At this time, a goatee-bearded young man walked out of the crowd and stood up, bent down and said in a trembling voice: "My warriors, we were originally traveling merchants on the border of the wasteland. We were captured here by the demons killed by the sky on the edge of the wasteland."
When Barlow heard this, he suddenly had a question in his heart. As far as I know, although the demons often do this plundering, they have never left a living mouth, but judging from the reactions of these people, it seems that they have not lie.
Therefore, he asked, "Since the demons captured you, how did you escape?" It was obvious that it was impossible for them to escape from the demons, because even a few demon soldiers were not something that ordinary people like him could resist.
"After all the words of the masters, the reason why the demons let us go was entirely due to a human girl, because those damn demons said that if that girl refused to obey him, they would kill all of us. Now it seems that the beautiful girl is probably defiled by the evil demons." After saying this, the old man burst into tears and looked very sad.
When the adventurers heard this, their eyes were even more angry and they seemed to be extremely worried. If the girl was their young master, she might have been defiled now.
Thinking of this, he wished he could kill the demon clan immediately and tear the despicable demon clan into pieces.
Although Barlow was extremely angry, as the captain, Chengfu's knowledge was not comparable to that of ordinary people, and his mind would be more calm.
Therefore, after listening to the old story, he always felt something was wrong, because in terms of the despicable demon clan, even if the demon clan got the body of that human girl, he would never let these humans go, and would definitely kill these useless humans afterwards.
As the captain of the adventure team, Barlow was extremely meticulous, so he asked all the team members to question this group of humans and did not let go of anything that happened to them in the demon town.
When the goatee talked about the girl holding a purple guqin, the entire adventure team members seemed extremely anxious because their lady also had a black guqin.
When Barlow asked again to learn more, he only got some beautiful, beautiful, fairy-like answers, but there was no other useful information.
"By the way, the girl was wearing a white dress with a purple-green bird on it." Just as Bishop, a timid middle-aged man stood up and said. Although they were caught by the demons at that time, he had never seen such a beautiful girl before, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"What big bird is it? Is it a purple-green ice phoenix?" Even Captain Carl, who had always been calm and calm, was so excited that he couldn't help but grab the middle-aged man's hand and asked.
"Bing... Binghuang? I haven't read a book, and I don't know what Zhuque looks like." The middle-aged man was so scared that he couldn't speak smoothly. He thought to himself that he would have encountered a group of robbers again.
Barobi also realized his lack of composure, but because this time it was related to his future, he seemed a little undesirable. Then he drew the Ice Phoenix on the ground, but then asked the middle-aged man again.
"Yes, it's such a big bird." Seeing this picture, the middle-aged man quickly confirmed.
The adventurers standing beside Barlow suddenly became extremely excited, and a happy smile appeared on their faces.
You all heard it, the human girl must be the lady, no doubt. What do you think, let’s talk about it.”
"Captain, we might as well fight. If we cannot save the lady, even if we return to Binghuang Pavilion, we will not be able to escape punishment. It is better to fight," said one of the team members.
"Captain, we agree too." The other team members agreed in unison.
