- Chapter 62 The Murder
of Dayuan Lake The night by the
lake is exceptionally cold. There are also dense woods in the forest to keep out the cold wind. And beside this open round lake, the cold wind can sweep through the wide area without hindrance.
Du Wei felt that his body was getting cold little by little. This cold wind, as well as the cold ground, are extracting the heat from the body little by little.
But Beinrich gets along well with Du Wei these days, and when he sees that his friend is in trouble, Du Wei volunteered to stay and help, even if he was frozen into a popsicle, he would only grit his teeth and endure.
"Actually, you can stay in the tent." Baiinrich lowered his voice, there was gratitude in his eyes, everyone knew that most of the magicians' physical fitness was not very good, but Du Wei, a thin-looking teenager, insisted on keeping vigil with a strong samurai at night.
Although Beinrich was furious at the loss of eleven of his men, he did not lose his mind. The experienced mercenary regiment leader knows very well that he can make his eleven equally experienced subordinates evaporate collectively without a sound... Then the opponent is certainly not something that ordinary people can cope with.
So he picked some of the best people he brought tonight to keep vigil.
Beinrich's hypothesis makes sense: if Warcraft did it, then it must be a powerful guy! And since a Warcraft dared to attack the camp of hundreds of people in the middle of the night, and evaporated eleven people! Well, this guy is definitely not a timid guy, and he will probably attack again!
"Because, this cold winter, Warcraft also needs food."
When Beinrich said this, his eyes were cruel. He knew very well that the reason why he stayed was not because he wanted to rescue the missing eleven! In this kind of ghost place, where the sky should not be called the earth is not spiritual, eleven large living people disappeared for a day and a night, and the possibility of survival was very small.
Baiinrich insisted on staying, purely because he could not stand this shame! If, after losing eleven people, you don't even know what exactly it is, you run away with people in ashes... Then it will be a fatal blow to the morale of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group! In the future, it is likely that everyone will leave this feeling of fear and frustration in their hearts!
As the regiment leader, he absolutely can't let this happen, so even if it's dangerous, he has to try it and do something.
Du Wei didn't speak, he was probably the only one among everyone who could understand Baiinrich's thoughts. He only moved his frozen feet slightly, and then smiled: "We are already friends, Commander Beinrich." I don't think it's a big deal to get a little cold for my friends. The
entire mercenary group's camp was quiet, most of them were tightly holding their weapons, and no one was hiding in the tent. The mercenaries used their skills, digging ambush pits in the snow, and some even buried themselves under snowdrifts in thick leather clothing.
Strier ambushed the surrounding trees with a few archers.
The old one-eyed dragon volunteered to act as "bait".
The old guy built a bonfire, then sat in front of the fire and drank with his arms in his arms, while a large pot of meat was cooked on the fire.
Smelling wine and meat from afar, no one envied the old one-eyed dragon. Because everyone knows very well that the old guy is using his life as bait.
It was a long night because everyone was always looking forward to discovering something.
The night was short, because after the time had passed, nothing had been found, and everyone found that they did not know when, and the sky was already dark.
"Obviously, our opponents are smarter than us." Du Wei shook his head: "It didn't come." Maybe we've already realized that we're prepared... It may also be that it has already taken eleven people and already has enough prey to attack us again.
Baiinrich grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it hard, he wiped his face red, the heat melted the snow and dripped down his beard into his collar, but the regimental commander did not care in the slightest. His face was serious: "Maybe you're right, but just maybe." But we can't just leave in ashes. Otherwise, going back with this setback, the young men of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will not be able to raise their heads in the future... We are not afraid of death, and since we dare to come out and live such a life, there are no people under me who are afraid of death. But we must not lose courage, and that is the most important thing.
During the day, the mercenaries took turns to rest in the tent to replenish their sleep and strength, and Baiinrich decided to stay here.
And this night, too, nothing was gained. The well-prepared ambush did not welcome any guests.
And just like that, three days passed.
Even the resolute regiment commander wavered in his resolve.
His man was exhausted and did not sleep for three nights, just resting by taking hurried turns during the day. Moreover, after all, they have been adventuring in this forest for many days, and the mercenaries are already very tired.
Although unwilling, the regiment commander also understood that the hope of continuing to consume like this was too slim.
"Last day, if we don't find anything tonight, we'll leave here tomorrow."
Beinrich had to make a decision.
And this last night, finally not in vain!
•;
Staying up late for several days made the mercenaries very tired, and this night, although most of them tried their best, by the second half of the night, everyone was obviously a little out of energy.
Baiinrich's eyes were bloodshot ... In the past three days, other mercenaries can take turns to rest during the day, but he, the regiment leader, cannot rest. For three days, he only slept less than an hour at noon today.
In the second half of the night, some mercenaries even doze off uncontrollably, and even the old one-eyed dragon sitting in front of the fire couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
After all, Du Wei is a magician, his mental power is too much beyond ordinary people, and the lack of sleep will only affect his physical strength, but he does not mean to be sleepy.
He was the most sober of the more than a hundred.
Inhaled hard, the cold air at night stimulated some faint pain in the nasal cavity, but the spirit was refreshed! Glancing at Beinrich next to him, Du Wei obviously felt that the regiment leader's spiritual power had reached its limit, and although his eyes were red, they were a little sluggish. And next to it, Dardanelle couldn't help but half-close his eyes, his chin little by little...
Du Wei was about to whisper something to the regiment commander, when suddenly... He had a stir in his head! As if feeling something!
The feeling is subtle! Du Wei, who had a strong induction, felt a cool breath behind him rushing all the way up along his back and back spoon!
Du Wei immediately realized: something is coming!!
He immediately looked around with wide eyes!
At night, the snow on the snow is still shining, and the flowers are white. On the lake in the distance, apart from the occasional cracking sound of the ice, there is only the sound of the wind...
At this moment, Du Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart!
He saw it!
Far, far away, on the surface of the Great Round Lake, a clear soundThe sound of crisp ice cracking came! Immediately, in the dark night, Du Wei could vaguely see a vague shadow slowly climbing up from under the ice!
With keen induction, Du Wei could even hear the other party's body rubbing against the ice and making a rustling sound... And the cracking of ice cubes, with the sound of water dripping...
"That was... What..." Du Wei couldn't help but mutter, he was about to open his mouth to remind Baiinrich and Dardanelle, and at this moment, a strange voice came!
A groan, again as if it were a sigh.
That's right, the sound is like someone moaning... The voice was close, but it was extremely soft and beautiful, and Du Wei seemed to feel that the wisp of sound seemed to be alive in a trance, burrowed into his ears, and then occupied his brain little by little!
The voice is long and leisurely, but with a trace of indescribable weirdness! After that voice drilled into his mind, it was as if the strength and consciousness of the whole body were withdrawing one by one...
The body is getting softer and softer, and the consciousness begins to gradually blur...
The voice still continues, melodious and melodious as if it were a beautiful piece of music, like the moonlight in the sky, cold and gentle; It was as if the breeze of the night was irresistible; It seems that the light dance of a woman makes people addicted...
Gradually, the voice changed from melodious to tactful, as if with an invisible hooking hand, people couldn't help but follow the gentle side-of-the-head... As if the ears were going to follow the voice... Then the whole head ... And then the body!
Du Wei is a magician after all, his spiritual power is the strongest one, and after a short period of confusion, he immediately woke up instinctively!
And then, he was horrified to find that he no longer knew what to do and stood up, and even his body had taken seven or eight steps from the place!
This discovery surprised him! It was as if I was still sitting there just now!
Looking around again, something that made Du Wei's creepy happened!
Those mercenaries in tents, and mercenaries hiding in trees, mercenaries buried in snowdrifts ... These people walked out one by one, and then they were in the snow, shaking their bodies, as if they were sleepwalking, everyone's eyes were wide, but their eyes were empty, their faces were numb, their eyes were scattered, their bodies were light, swaying, but in the direction of the lake... Step by step, step by step, step by step, just walked over slowly!
No one is an exception!
Even Beinrich and Dardanelles are the same!
The regiment commander had a quiet and peaceful expression on his face, his eyes were obviously out of focus, and the weapon in his hand had long been lost in the snow, and his body was clumsy and loose, so he walked forward crookedly on the snow ... Dardanelle, on the other hand, was like a drunken man, holding his hands forward hard, with a demented expression on his face, and his eyes half-closed and half-open...
Du Wei tried to stop Dardanelle, but was pushed away by him!
Seeing that the mercenary in the front had already walked to the lake, and one foot had stepped on the ice on the lake, Du Wei left and shouted!
He roared as hard as he could, but none of those guys reacted!
Du Wei ran over vigorously, trying to pull a mercenary hard, Du Wei even kicked him to the ground, but the man struggled to get up, and then just like the kind of zombie that Du Wei saw in the movie in his previous life, his steps faltered, and he continued to walk towards the lake!
"! Damn it! What's wrong with you guys! Wake up! Wake up!! Du Wei jumped and screamed, but those guys seemed to be all deaf and stupid at once!
Du Wei saw that he couldn't wake these guys, he immediately ran to the lake, and then quickly recited a series of spells, and a fireball shot towards the ethereal shadow on the lake from a distance!
Rumble!
The fireball pierced the night sky and instantly illuminated the scene in front of you! Through the firelight, Du Wei seemed to see clearly the appearance of the thing on the lake in the distance for a moment... Although it was a little blurry, Du Wei was sure that he seemed to see a person!
Yes, that's right, it was like a person!
And... The appearance of the man: he was wearing a leather coat of a mercenary who was already soaked, and his wet hair was stuck to his forehead... He has a big hole in his forehead! With a weird, miserable sneer on his face...
Half of his body is under the ice, half of his body is on the ice... What made Du Wei feel chills from his heart was that the appearance of this person was the same mercenary who died accidentally while catching fish on the first day he came to Dayuan Lake! ! !
Du Wei saw with his own eyes that everyone sank his body into the lake!
... Could it be a ghost?
Du Wei also felt that his idea was too ridiculous.
However, the scene in front of him could not help but make him not frightened!
The mercenary who died tragically and unexpectedly, with a miserable expression, his face was already swollen by the lake water, and he was blue and white with a terrible color, with a sad sneer at the corner of his mouth, staring at Du Wei in this direction!
It was that strange, pleasant, requiem-like sound that came out of his mouth! All the mercenaries seemed to lose consciousness under this sound, turning into puppets and slowly walking towards the lake!
The fireball sent by Du Wei did not shoot too far, and after smashing on the ice, it turned into Mars and dispersed. And that ghost on the ice ... Let's call him that, but those vicious eyes immediately glared towards Du Wei!
Du Wei could clearly see this guy's eyes with vicious mockery, as if mocking Du Wei's self-sufficiency!
Despite Du Wei's efforts, he could only see that a mercenary walking in the front had already walked to the ice of the lake, and then a big hole suddenly appeared in the ice of the lake! The mercenary who walked in the front stepped in one step, and the whole person fell under the ice cave, and immediately sank and disappeared!
