Is the campfire out?

This is no joke!

Although the guards who stayed at the carriage camp were not the rangers in the legendary stories, they still had basic knowledge of the industry.

It's absolutely impossible to put out the campfire at night like this!

It couldn't have been this group of people who had summed it up and ran away with the goods on the carriage, right?

Or did the residents of Montenegro turn into robbers and take care of the guards over there?

Or maybe there was some kind of emergency, and the campfire was accidentally extinguished?

In an instant, all kinds of guesses popped up in Ronald's mind.

But the camp was too far away, and even a silhouette could not be seen clearly through the dark and gloomy air, and it was impossible to verify it immediately.

so-

What exactly is going on?

Just as Ronald's pupils shrank and his heart felt uneasy.

Nessus, who was walking side by side with him, obviously noticed something, and then followed Ronald's eyes and looked back.

click—

In an instant, a subtle metal cracking sound emanated from Nessus' hands.

Noticing the situation behind, although the businessman did not show any expression on his face, the fingers that suddenly exerted force directly broke the pull ring of the lantern!

"..."

Yes, this guy found it too.

Walking side by side, there is no reason why Ronald, who is in high spirits, can't find this.

So in silence.

Ronald and Nassos stared at each other for a few seconds, then turned their eyes forward in tacit understanding.

As if nothing happened.

But in their hearts, both of them are aware of the current problem.

- It is impossible to go back and check the camp.

Without any warning, the camp guarded by professional guards turned bleak in an instant. This is definitely not a scene that can be solved by a few businessmen.

——It’s not enough to make a sound to remind your companions.

This kind of action is bound to make ordinary people panic. This team is in chaos, and it is clear that it is to remind the surrounding "danger" that may exist, and that he has discovered the other party's matter, which will lead to a direct attack by the enemy.

You can't go back either, or remind your companions.

So how to deal with the problem?

Ronald and Nassos, who were silent, began to think about countermeasures, but the few people in front had not yet noticed this.

In addition to complaining about the difficult mountain road at night, their main conversation revolved around whether Gaien could sell the fruit.

"..."

After a few more breaths, and after advancing about ten meters, Nessus, holding the lamp, spoke to Ronald in a seemingly small talk:

"Mr. Ronald, do nobles like you usually like to hunt?"

"I heard that many nobles now use muskets instead of bows and arrows to hunt."

"..."

Before answering, Ronald took a careful look at Nessus' eyes.

Xingshang's steel-blue pupils swayed under the light of the lamp, but the expression in it was condensed and deep. The upper eyes and face were higher than usual, which set off the other party's current mental state.

When he said this, Nassos was very serious!

This guy definitely didn't open his mouth just to chat, or to paralyze the dangers around him, but to communicate information with himself and discuss the next countermeasures!

"In my case, I've never used such a novelty as a musket."

"That's something only the big nobles in the city can enjoy."

"And when it comes to hunting, that's also my father's memory when he was still alive. After independence, I don't have that kind of opportunity."

After answering Nessus' question, Ronald did not forget to ask the other party with the same serious eyes:

"Mr. Naissus asked this, do you like hunting very much?"

In the exchange of eyes, Xingshang also confirmed that Ronald understood his thoughts.

Immediately, his eyes gradually calmed down, and more attention began to be directed forward.

As if he was really chatting, Nessus also responded:

"A noble like you doesn't have time for entertainment, let alone a businessman like me."

"It's just that I brought some hunting goods this time."

Speaking of which, Nassostum paused before continuing:

"Ah, that's right!"

"I still remember a time when I was on the road outside, and I happened to meet a big noble who came out to hunt. I will never forget that scene in my life."

"Could it be that you were fortunate enough to be involved...?"

"Participate?" Hearing Ronald's question, Nessus waved his hand regretfully, "I ran away at the time. Otherwise, I would be entangled by those knight masters who guarded him, and I would have to make a profit for two or three months. "

"Is that so..."

"That's really the only way to run."

"is not that right?"

"..."

After a few brief exchanges, Ronald and Nassos completed the exchange of information and determined the next action plan.

As for the content, it can be summed up in one word.

- Escape.

Actually in conversation.

Using hunting as a reference to the current crisis, Nassos asked Ronald if he could fight, and if he had encountered such a situation before.

And Ronald's answer was that he had no combat experience, and asked the opponent's abilities.

The result is regrettable.

Nassos said that he had weapons, but he was also a man with little combat power.

That's why the suggestion to escape was made at the end.

—And then there is the way to escape.

First of all, it is impossible to go back down the mountain. The danger of the campfire being extinguished behind is self-evident.

Just bumping into it like this is tantamount to committing suicide.

In this way, there are only two options left.

Running into the mountains, using the terrain to try to escape, and extinguishing the lights in the dark is a natural strong protection;

Or speed up and ask for help in a small town on the Black Hills.

Although there may also be danger in the town, according to Thomson, who has been here, the residents of Montenegro are not particularly dangerous.

With these things in mind, Ronald was actually more inclined to go to the mountains.

Although Thomson, who had been to Montenegro in the team, had a good impression of the town, he also thought that the residents were simple and honest when chatting.

But there is one problem that cannot be ignored-

Just now, the road they encountered that was destroyed by rain three days ago has not been repaired yet.

For a town in such a remote place, it is absurd that important roads are ignored.

In this small town in Montenegro, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not like a safe place.

Therefore, Ronald still trusts his own inferences more than the businessman's experience.

In the cloudy night, the air was low, and with the help of the only three lanterns in the team, the small team swayed and sneaked in the darkness.

Especially at the end of the line.

In the eyes of the two who have already realized the crisis, the darkness around them seems to hide the crisis everywhere, as if some human-devouring beast is lurking in it, and it will bite at any time!

The light that the lantern can bring is too small to support people's hearts at all.

Suddenly, someone from the merchants ahead shouted loudly, and there was a hint of panic in the doubtful voice:

"What's that thing in front of?"

"Gaien, be careful!"

"What did you say..."

"what!"

After a scream, the team became silent.

Not far on the road, Gaien, who was holding a fruit box at the front of the team, saw the end of the road.

The planned town has long since disappeared.

Instead-

It is a dark fog that is constantly churning, darker than the dark night.

There is no top on the top, no tail on the bottom.

The twisted and sticky darkness is slowly spreading forward, something brewing strange things is in this thick fog, and the darkness that surrounds all sides is as hopeless as the desert that devours the land.

This is a cue from biological instinct.

It's dangerous!

pat—

The fruit box in Gaien's arms fell to the ground, and the yellow fruit was scattered on the ground.

"me......"

"Run!"
