C3 Forest Chasers (1) (2/2)

”AHH!”

Another scream came from another corner of the crowd.

The sound penetrated the night sky, and the birds that were resting on the trees flapped their wings and quickly flew away. All of the scout s were shocked. Even though they had experienced hundreds of battles and were drenched in blood, their entire bodies still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

”Whether it's a human or a ghost, if you have the guts, show yourself to our grandfathers.”

The brave scout calmed his mind and shouted loudly, hoping to see some movement in the midst of his shouting.

”AHH!”

Another shout came from another place.

”Quick, all of you, come over here. As long as there's no one left to deal with, that thing will have no place to start. ”

The scout didn't know what was attacking them, they could only name it ”that thing”. They cried out three times, but none of them found anything. Neither did they find any trace of an attack.

When all the scout gathered together, they astonishingly discovered that three people were already missing. In this sort of situation, the remaining twenty-two felt even more apprehensive.

Their expressions were grim and ferocious. The sound of heavy breathing came from the mouths of every single one of them. Because they were leaning against each other, the sounds of their breathing could be clearly heard by the people around them. This made the atmosphere seem even stranger and more terrifying.

Suddenly, a corpse with a face full of blood was thrown over, scaring all of the scout s to the point of covering their heads and scurrying away.

”AHH!”

At this time, the scout that had just fled the furthest let out a miserable scream. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but they didn't see anything. In the blood-red moonlight, they were like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They did not understand what a swordsman was, nor did they see the corpses of the lambs that had already been slaughtered.

”Quick, light a fire!” A scout shouted.

Igniting the fire was a taboo in their night march. This way, they could be easily discovered by the enemy. But now, they couldn't care so much anymore. It was more important for them to stay alive.

However, they were in the dense forest. Even if the sun was shining outside during the day, there was nothing to burn inside. Moreover, it was night. The damp air and the dew on the grass, how could there be any inflammable dried wood left behind? In addition, they were already trembling with fear. Even if there was dried wood, they might not be able to ignite it with a spark.

”That's not right. What should we do? What should we do?”

The scout s panicked, not knowing what to do next.

”Surround them all. Next, throw over their bodies. Don't panic. Don't tell me we've seen a lot of bodies?”

Once again, everyone was gathered together. One by one, they drew their swords and stood back to back, ready for battle. It could be seen that their drifting eyes were filled with fear and panic.

Before the crowd of scout could calm down, another corpse, whose face was covered in blood, was tossed over. This time, although they were also frightened, they did not scatter in all directions. They knew very well that those who died were definitely their companions. The irreplaceable camaraderie in their hearts caused them to be unable to help themselves from carefully inspecting the people who had died.

Just as all the scout had taken a close look and hadn't even recognized the person on their bloodied faces, another corpse was thrown over from another direction. At this moment, not only did they not dodge, they even used their hands to catch the corpse. After all, the ones who died were their comrades, so how could they bear to be mercilessly beaten to the ground?

But this time, the body moved. The corpse held a dagger in its hand and stabbed the five people who attacked him. All the wounds were located in the arteries of the throat.

These five people clearly died on the spot before they could even react. The corpse quickly beheaded two more people before anyone could even react.

”It's a person, it's a person …” scout, who had reacted quickly, immediately exclaimed.

So it turned out that General Chen had always been hiding in the tall shrubs. Relying on his deep foundation in lightness exercise, he silently flew around the trees. He quietly killed the lone scout and then quickly carried the corpse up a tree, causing the incoming scout to be completely confused. A corpse placed on a thick branch would not fall down. He wanted to use this method to make everyone panic, so that they wouldn't dare to run off alone. This way, they wouldn't attract more pursuers.

The leader was very smart, and let everyone gather together, General Chen had no choice but to throw the dead body down from the tree, this would cause chaos again. However, after using it once, it became useless. Therefore, he made use of their friendship and threw himself down to engage in a close combat. The effect was very good, but this time he had exposed himself.

The General Chen's martial arts were excellent, his lightness exercise was exceptional, but he was already exhausted to a certain extent. He didn't know if he would be able to survive when faced with the fourteen remaining people.
