Chapter 43 The Reaper

Nobody noticed anything unusual at first.

The terrain near the melody camp is different from that of the arrogance, which is a combination of large mountains, plains and forests, while the melody camp is located in a huge dense forest.

The Melody Camp is several times larger than the Arrogant Plain. Lao Hu is the leader of the Melody Camp. Under his management, the Melody Camp is centered on the camp, and around the dense forest are arranged many organs that can warn adventurers that "the reaper is approaching". And traps, and many patrols, collected the action routes of the Reapers.

Lao Hu was explaining the management method of the melody camp to others at the time: "We all know that the reaper is a monster that the adventurer is killed and swallowed, so everyone who leaves the melody camp, whether it is going out to deliver supplies or When patrolling, you must wear corresponding ornaments on your body. The ornaments are marked, and after we kill the harvesters, we can recover the bones and return them to their relatives."

Liu Yingnian asked: "Dear relatives?"

"If you live here for a long time, of course you will start a family and have your own friends and lover." Lao Hu said with a smile, "If you want to live in Melody for a long time, just tell me."

Everything is very quiet and peaceful.They stopped to rest and share dry food only one kilometer away from the dense forest.

There were no harvesters along the way, perhaps because the remaining monsters on the Pride Plain were afraid of Fan Xing, but after entering the dense forest, they were the prey of the harvesters in this area.

In order to replenish physical strength and water, everyone worked hard.

When the reaper appeared, Yu Zhou, Jiang Xiao, and Ji Chunyue were walking from the river to the camp.

The river originates from the mountains of Prideland, and flows from the east into the center of Praser.It passes through the dense forest and the melody camp, forming a small clear lake in the melody camp.

Jiang Xiao learned to fish from Xu Qingyuan, but Yu Zhou didn't dare to eat this fish. He remembered Xu Qingyuan's words: "In case the water source is polluted..."

"If you eat it, you will be poisoned to death. If you don't eat it, you will die from starvation. Do you want to eat it?" Jiang Xiao said, "Besides, what if it is not polluted, but it is a clean and delicious fish? Right?"

The last question was addressed to the dried fish in Yu Zhou's hood.The dried fish turned its head and should not respond.

Ji Chunyue stopped suddenly.

"what is that?"

A black shadow, like a cave that absorbed all the light, crouched beside the carriage.

It is moving forward.

Yu Zhou was terrified: it was the first time he discovered that the horse didn't notice it.In other words, in the horse's cognition, the reaper is not dangerous to him.The shadow moved across the horse's hooves, sliding like a thin pool of black water across the rough green grass.

Almost at the moment Ji Chunyue sounded the warning, several people who were chatting jumped up at the same time.

Lao Hu moved the fastest. He flipped on the ground with one hand and landed behind the boulder.Xu Qingyuan grabbed Liu Yingnian by the collar and almost dragged him backwards, the two of them fell into the grass and rolled into a pile.

Standing between the Reaper and the others was Wen Feng.He flipped his wrist, and the shotgun on his shoulder was already in his hand. With a click, the safety was released, and he aimed the gun at the black shadow that was crawling towards him.

The barrel of the gun was suddenly raised!

The black shadow on the ground split apart!A small black object jumped out of the shadows and charged towards Wen Feng!

The bullet left the chamber, and there was a sudden loud explosion, which made Yu Zhou's ears ring.Ji Chunyue protected him and Jiang Xiao to the ground, and the little Reaper who was hit by the bullet bounced away.

But the one on the ground was already close to Wen Feng.

Wen Feng turned the gun, and the shotgun was like a spear in his hand, stabbing at the Reaper who was crawling on the ground.

The Reaper was like a punctured black water bag, the black mist suddenly burst and overflowed, and tiny black palms emerged from the mist, grabbing at Wen Feng's feet.

Wen Feng supported the gun barrel to borrow strength, jumped up using the gun barrel as a fulcrum, and landed behind the reaper.

"Bang!" Another shot.

"Guns are useless!" Ji Chunyue didn't continue to hide, "Unless it hits the skeleton's cervical spine directly, causing the skeleton to lose the strength to support the head."

She spoke quickly, and pointed in the direction where Lao Hu was: "Yu Zhou Jiang Xiao will come to Lao Hu immediately."

Yu Zhou didn't dare to hesitate and delay, for fear that his hesitation would drag Ji Chunyue back.He and Jiang Xiao ran wildly, and while Wen Feng was attracting the attention of the reaper, they met Lao Hu who was leaving behind the boulder.

The jacket Jiang Xiao wore was long-sleeved, and she secretly held a sharp knife in the sleeve.

"Come here!" Lao Hu yelled, "I'll take you to the melody!"

Jiang Xiao's fingers pinching the handle of the knife became tighter and tighter.Before departure, Xu Qingyuan taught her to kill.There is no secret, only hatred: killing him can stop the nightmare, the knife is sharp enough, and her speed is fast enough.Lao Hu was unprepared. He opened his hands and was greeting Jiang Xiao and Yu Zhou.He is so fragile and ignorant, just like Jiang Xiao that night.

"How to get there!" Liu Yingnian asked loudly in panic, "Why don't you ever tell me!"

"The route is the secret of the melody! Only I know it!" Old Hu said, "Stop talking nonsense, just follow!"

Jiang Xiao panted anxiously.Her chest throbbed, and the air ached in her nose, throat, and lungs.Tears welled up in her eyes, and when she fell in front of Lao Hu, the knife had already been retracted.

"Don't be afraid, follow me!" Lao Hu dragged her up.

When Yu Zhou turned his head, Ji Chunyue had already jumped into the carriage.

This was discussed by Lao Hu, Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng early in the morning.If you encounter a reaper who cannot be dealt with, who is responsible for the carriage, who is responsible for leading the way, and who is responsible for the rear.

As long as the carriage is protected, the rest of the people still have the possibility to move quickly.

After Wen Feng fired, Ji Chunyue had already swung the long whip at the horse.

The Reapers who had been crawling on the ground stood up.Wen Feng's prediction was right—any living thing devoured by the Reapers would become a Reaper, and in front of him were the bodies of a child and a kitten.

The kitten jumped into the child's arms, as if it fit together, and the thin Reaper suddenly swelled up.

All the reapers on the Pride Plain were adults, and Wen Feng had never encountered such a situation.The ammunition was limited, and he couldn't use it casually, so he quickly put away the shotgun, drew the long knife from his waist, turned around and ran towards the dense forest.

Xie Bai is good at using ropes to cut off the heads of the Reapers.Wen Feng is good at using knives.

The cold weapon in this "birdcage" is a sharp weapon for all adventurers to protect themselves.

Flat ground has nothing to rest on.There are at least big trees, stones, and shrubs in the forest, and Wen Feng has the possibility to maneuver.He has traveled through the dense forest many times, and he knew that as long as he entered the dense forest deep enough, he would encounter patrollers from the melody camp.Many to two, the possibility of winning is greatly increased.

The only question is: can he meet the Melody Man before the Reapers capture him.

After all, this was Wen Feng's first time confronting the two Reapers.

When driving away, Ji Chunyue looked back at Wen Feng.

Her pupils suddenly closed rapidly, and she shouted loudly: "Wen Feng!!!"

The thicker black mist fell like a waterfall.

Wen Feng was less than 500 meters away from the dense forest.

He led the two harvesters away, Ji Chunyue drove the car, Lao Hu led the way, and brought the others into the melody safely from another path-it should have been like this.

But he stopped.

The periphery of the dense forest is full of low shrubs. In summer, flowers bloom in layers, and some of them have already grown small orange-red fruits.

Dark shadows climbed up from the bushes, as if awakened by the commotion here.

It is several meters high, and the black mist lingering on its body is extremely thick. In its slender hand, there is a long and curved sickle.

Ji Chunyue grabbed the reins firmly.

But she can't stop.

Even if Wen Feng will die, even if she will lose her partner who lived and died together in the "birdcage", she can't stop.

Just because Wen Feng might die, she couldn't let his sacrifice be meaningless.Together with Lao Hu, she will bring the rest to the melody.

There were some things that Lao Hu and Xie Bai didn't say clearly, but Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng both understood.Fan Xing asked to bring Yu Zhou, Jiang Xiao and others with him, which is very inappropriate.But the reason why Lao Hu finally agreed was because he knew that these people were Fan Xing's valued partners and would bring strength to Fan Xing.

And another necessity is: when necessary, Yu Zhou, Jiang Xiao and others will become Fan Xing's handle.With these hostages in the melody camp, Lao Hu thought that Fan Xing would be more obedient.

So Xie Bai told Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng: take good care of Yu Zhou.

The horse stumbled and continued to gallop forward.

By the river, Ji Chunyue meets Lao Hu.

"Where's Fan Xing?!" Lao Hu has already yelled several times, "He can't be dead already!"

Yugan yelled in a voice that only a few people in Yu Zhou could hear: "Fart your stinky fart!"

Fan Xing went fishing by the river with Yu Zhou, Jiang Xiao and Ji Chunyue.When the three left, he took off his clothes and soaked in the water.

He heard Ji Chunyue's warning, and when he got up, Wen Feng had already fought two little harvesters.

Fan Xing didn't move, he wanted to know how Lao Hu and Wen Feng would deal with the Reapers.

But the development of things was beyond his expectation: Lao Hu didn't intend to make a move, Wen Feng dealt with two enemies alone, and a third reaper appeared.

Even Fan Xing had never seen such a huge harvester in Arrogant Plain.When it is fully upright, it looks like a small mountain.

That thing swung its sickle at Wen Feng.

The Reapers love to act alone, and the black mist on them will approach and erode each other, which seems to make the Reapers slow down.Wen Feng had never seen the three Reapers acting in concert.

When the Reaper in front of him swung his sickle, Wen Feng turned his head and hid.

But he fell to the ground suddenly, his feet bound tightly by the reaper that turned into a kitten.The black mist passed through the clothes and corroded the skin. Wen Feng swung his knife and slashed at the black mass a few times.No neck bones were injured, and the knife made a crisp sound on the cat's skull.

The black sickle carries the wind, unstoppable.

As if being pulled up by something, Wen Feng was suddenly tied up from behind by a strong force, and was instantly pulled up.

The reaper on his feet opened his mouth and bit down on Wenfeng's calf.A vine struck from behind Wen Feng, passing through the cat's black mouth.With a click, the black mist on the kitten reaper disappeared, and the bones fell to the ground.

Wen Feng was still in shock, the huge scythe slashed across the ground, cutting off a large area of ​​bushes like cutting grass.The sections of the branches and leaves of the trees were eroded by the black mist, and they quickly withered and smelt.

It was Fan Xing who saved him.After Wen Feng landed, he looked at Fan Xing whose arms had turned into vines in disbelief.Fan Xing still maintains a human shape, but his arms have been completely deformed, spreading long on the ground, forming an extremely incongruous contrast with Fan Xing's body.

"What are you looking at," Fan Xing said, "Have you seen any monsters?"

Suddenly, Wen Feng got a slap in the chest!Fan Xing swept him away, and the vines blocked the bouncing little Reaper.

After landing, Wen Feng quickly grabbed his weapon and ran towards Ji Chunyue, Lao Hu and others.

"It stinks, it stinks!" Fan Xing laughed wildly. From the tallest reaper in front of him, he clearly smelled a familiar smell: the same smell that originated from his mother, but it was completely different, "...the cage So the master is you, sister."

Whether it was the giant reaper or Fan Xing who showed his abilities, people who had never seen this scene were shocked.

Ji Chunyue jumped into the carriage and waited for Wen Feng to come.

Jiang Xiao suddenly asked: "Aren't you going to help?"

Old Hu: "I can't help, that's not something we ordinary people can deal with." He turned his head to look at the young adventurers around him, "I didn't expect you to bring a monster, I should have said it earlier!"

Yu Zhou: "He's not a monster."

Old Hu was obviously furious: "I said why the reaper suddenly became agitated, why did the arrogance suddenly lose [-] reapers... It's your companions who did it! What is his origin? He devoured the reaper and got Got strength?"

Jiang Xiao pushed him: "What the hell are you talking about? Who is saving us now!"

Her sudden toughness and rudeness surprised Lao Hu, Wen Feng jumped into the carriage, but did not urge Ji Chunyue to leave.

"Old Hu, bring your weapon and turn around to help."

"You're crazy!" Old Hu said angrily, "We can't beat that thing!"

"He's the only one!"

"He's not human!" Lao Hu suddenly raised the short gun in his hand. This gun can't be used to deal with the reaper, but at least it can be used to threaten adventurers, "Go! Immediately return the melody! If you don't want to go, give the horse I!"

"Old Hu!" Ji Chunyue shouted sharply.

Wen Feng stared at the barrel of his gun, sternly and fiercely: "Put it down, don't point this thing at me."

His momentum completely overwhelmed Lao Hu.Lao Hu suddenly aimed his gun at Jiang Xiao. "Just create a corpse here. It will take time for the Reapers to devour the corpse and transform the corpse. We can leave during this gap."

Wen Feng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, and then he said after a while: "...that's why you can always escape safely every time the people with the melody shuttle between the camps?! You're killing people, old Hu!"

"It's all like this, don't fucking teach me morality!" Lao Hu yelled, "I have already killed people before I entered this ghost place!"

The barrel of the gun was suddenly pressed lightly.When Hu Weiyi didn't notice, Xu Qingyuan had approached him at some point.The eyes on the brim of the fisherman hat were smiling, and he said word by word: "I advise you to go back and help my friend. That's right, he is not a human, but a monster. Reapers can't turn any living thing into their own companions." ? If this monster is eaten by a reaper and becomes a reaper again, what will be more terrifying about this new reaper?"

Xu Qingyuan's words are more effective than any reason, Lao Hu hesitated.

There was a huge cracking sound, Xu Qingyuan protected Jiang Xiao, and grabbed the thing that was shooting from a distance.It's a broken vine.

Fan Xing wrapped the vines around the neck and arms of the reaper, but was unable to match its strength, and he broke free.

Fan Xing, who fell from the sky, fell to the ground, unable to move.

"No, no..." Yugan grabbed Yu Zhou's ear, "That thing has a mother's smell on it... It must be very close to the cage owner, it's too strong, Fan Xing can't deal with it."

The scattered fragments of vines fell around like raindrops, making noise in the river.

Liu Yingnian was the closest to the river, and when he looked back, his hair stood on end.

Two new reapers were climbing up from the river, like crooked dead souls, drifting towards them.

—not three, but five Reapers!

They are completely surrounded.

At the same moment when Wen Feng raised his gun and Ji Chunyue raised his crossbow, Lao Hu grabbed Jiang Xiao's arm and put the gun against Jiang Xiao's back.

Xu Qingyuan and Liu Yingnian rushed towards Lao Hu at the same time, Jiang Xiao moved his wrist, and the knife fell into his palm.

The two water-drenched reapers extended their arms and legs like fluttering black long streamers.

Yu Zhou grabbed the dried fish.

He only had this way, only by putting himself in a crisis of mortal death, could he awaken the huge bones of An Liu.

The dried fish struggled in his palm, and Yu Zhou rushed towards the approaching harvester.

His voice vibrated from his chest: "—An Liu!"

A hurricane swept up from the edge of the dense forest, as if someone sighed deeply in the sky.The sun was like a torch, illuminating the silver scales.

No one had ever seen such scales: one after another, they lined the tail of a huge, thick, cold-blooded animal.

Like a long tail delicately plated with silver, it surrounds everyone.

The little dried fish was still struggling in Yu Zhou's hand.It didn't become An Liu, a strange fish.

The Reaper was bounced off by the strong airflow, and a truly tall monster protected everyone in the small space circled by its tail.

His figure was human, like his mother, with four human arms, and blood-red slender welts on his bare back.The scales run from the tail down to its legs and rump, tucking into the skin at the loins.
