976 Adventurer team _1
At the entrance of hewang village, a team covered in dust was slowly approaching.
This was a team made up of humans, orcs, dragonkin, and other races. They were dressed in standard adventurer attire and seemed to be quite strong.
Stopping in their tracks, they looked at the quiet village not far away with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
“Captain, we’ve confirmed that the heavenly demon is near this village.
Previously, a scouting team from the snow City had been ambushed here. Other than the cultivator leading the team who had used a teleportation scroll to escape, the rest had all died here!
If we enter rashly, I’m afraid we’ll encounter danger!”
A skinny elf man in leather armor constantly looked around as he spoke to his Captain.
The captain had a muscular build, but he had the head of a Tiger. Coupled with the heavy armor he was wearing, he looked extremely majestic!
After hearing his team member’s words, his eyes became serious, as if he was considering whether he should earn this generous Commission.
Unlike the believers who believed in different gods, their team was just a pure adventurer team. They had decided to take on the mission at the last minute because they had seen the high reward for the mission.
The reason why they were the first to reach River View Village was that their companions in Snow City had sent a message using a messenger bird, and they happened to be near River View Village.
Therefore, as soon as they received the news, they rushed here without stopping, trying to collect valuable information in order to exchange for generous rewards.
Bargof would never be stingy to those who provided valuable information!
However, when they arrived at hewang village, they began to hesitate.
For the otherworldly demons to be able to cause such a huge commotion and make the Xue man territory feel as if they were facing a great enemy, they were clearly not easy to deal with.
Could an ordinary adventurer team like them really deal with such a terrifying opponent?
However, as the first team to arrive at River View Village, they were the most likely to be the first to obtain information about the otherworldly demon race. Everyone knew what this meant.
It was a pity that this bounty was not easy to earn.
As the Tigerman Captain was weighing the pros and cons, the dragonkin man in the team stepped forward and said to the Tigerman Captain, ” “Didn’t we rush here with all our might just to get some useful information?
Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate?
If we wait a while longer and the other teams arrive, then the bounty will have nothing to do with us!”
The other members of the team nodded at the same time. Obviously, they also believed in the principle of seeking wealth from danger. They knew that it was absolutely impossible to earn a rich bounty without taking risks.
“But what if we’re ambushed by the otherworldly demons? can we really escape safely?”
There were also members who were extremely wary of the otherworldly demons and did not want to take risks.
“We’ve killed vampires, necromancers, and escaped from death countless times. How can we be scared by the extraterrestrial demon?
Maybe snow City was just exaggerating, saying that the otherworldly demons were so powerful, but in reality, they couldn’t even withstand a single blow!”
Another team member spoke. The meaning behind his words was clear. It seemed like he didn’t care about the heavenly demon race at all.
So far, there was no specific information about the otherworldly demons. They didn’t even know what they looked like.
It was actually very normal for the team members to doubt the strength of the otherworldly demons and think that they were not as powerful as they were rumored to be.
The Tigerman Captain, who had his head lowered in thought, no longer hesitated and immediately waved his hand at the crowd.
They were adventurers who were willing to exchange their lives for money. If they were afraid of danger, they might as well go home and farm!
Therefore, even if it was dangerous, he still had to try!
Following the command of the Tigermen Captain, all the team members immediately got into a search and defense formation, took out their weapons, and slowly approached River View Village.
Even though they had doubts about the strength of the heavenly demon race, they still maintained their best state of mind to guard against any sudden attacks from the enemy.
As they got closer, the corpses at the entrance of the village came into their sight. Looking at the corpses, it was obvious that they were the scouts from Snow City who had been ambushed.
“Everyone, be careful. There’s something wrong here!”
The Tigermen Captain raised his shield and battle axe, and after reminding his team members, he took the first step into the gate of River View Village.
At this moment, there was not a single person in the village. It was as quiet as a ghost’s domain, making one’s heart tremble.
A gust of cold wind blew, and a few fallen leaves on the ground swirled up and drifted past the crowd.
This oppressive atmosphere made everyone’s breathing become much heavier, and their eyes constantly swept across any suspicious corner.
However, other than the strange atmosphere, there did not seem to be anything unusual here. It seemed to be an empty village.
“Check the surrounding houses and see if there are any clues left behind.”
The leader of the Tigermen team gestured to the team members beside him. Immediately, three of his team members rushed to the front of a wooden house and kicked the door open in cooperation.
A minute later, the three of them came out and shook their heads.
the villagers left very suddenly. They only ate half of the food on the table. There are no signs of a fight!
The Tigerman Captain nodded. Just as he was about to go deeper, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow that had suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the appearance of the black shadow, he was shocked.
“Enemy attack!”
The captain of the Tiger Squad roared. As he warned his team members, he also raised his shield and looked at the black figure that had suddenly appeared.
At the same time, all the members of the adventurer team raised their weapons and looked around with solemn expressions.
It turned out that there wasn’t just one shadow, but more than twenty of them!
They were wearing black armor made of an unknown material, and their faces were covered by helmets. They were slowly walking out from behind the wooden houses with sabers in their hands, blocking all the retreat routes of the adventurer team.
An almost tangible murderous aura spread from the black-armored cultivators, causing a cold wind to blow in the originally quiet village.
Upon seeing this, the hearts of the adventurer team’s members sank, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
...
Although the two sides had not fought yet, they could be sure that these enemies were not simple just by looking at their aura and equipment!
Could this group of black-armored cultivators be the otherworldly demons that Snow City was looking for?
After realizing this, the members of the adventurer team knew that the crucial moment had arrived.
Valuable information that could be exchanged for a large amount of gold coins was definitely not as simple as providing a location. It had to include a lot of information such as the enemy’s strength, equipment, number, and so on.
And the best way to obtain this information was naturally to fight with real weapons!
