Dick Suppressed the nausea caused by the portal, opened his eyes, and found that he had arrived at a familiar place.
He carefully identified his surroundings, then squinted his eyes to look at the outline of the city wall in the distance.
"There is Longsong Harbor." Dick murmured to himself,
"Sure enough, the distance of the portal used by Dean Mary is several times farther than that of ordinary warlocks. This time it is a full 30 kilometers.
In this way, I believe we will be able to escape Northern Kingdoms soon."
He knocked on the outer wall of the carriage. "Xiya."
"I'm here, Dick."
"I plan to drive the carriage to an inaccessible place. Our safest route is along the foot of the Misty Mountains Mountain.
Although it is extremely cold there, few people go there."
"I listen to you."
"Okay, if you need anything, just call me."
"Hmm."
Dick then drove away along the official road.
He knew that it was not yet noon and there was still plenty of time.
Moreover, even if they are teleported, their traces are likely to be exposed. If they take the trail, the carriage will be slower.
However, he has basically planned his route in his mind:
Go to the ruins of Crossroads Inn first, then go to Hot Spring Village, then go straight to the foot of the Misty Mountains mountain, and just go all the way east.
The pale sunshine at noon was like a blunt knife cutting through the thick clouds, Dick tightened the reins.
The charred beams pierced the sky like the fangs of giant beasts, the unburned curtains twitched in the wind, and the smell of burnt flesh and rust floated in the air.--This is where Xiya Flames went berserk.
Dick was keenly aware that there were many people in the small town next to the ruins of Crossroads Inn.
Many people are wearing clothes other than Northern Kingdoms. It seems that many insiders have sneaked in.
Dick ignored these, and scanned the people slowly approaching the vehicle with his eagle-like eyes.
After those people were stared at by Dick's vertical pupils, they felt a chill from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and they retreated one after another, not daring to act rashly.
Dick ignored these little guys and continued to drive forward.
But there are still people who want to test the sharpness of the Demon Hunter Grand Master's sword!
This carriage sent by the Magic Academy should have some energy stones and rune arrays installed on it, and it can travel much faster than an ordinary carriage.
Moreover, the cabin not only has a certain defensive function, but also has thermal insulation, so Xiya will not feel too bumpy and uncomfortable sitting in it.
At the beginning, there were eight or nine people riding horses hanging far behind the carriage. At first glance, they looked like spies.
When Dick was driving through a wasteland, these spies felt that the carriage was running faster and faster, and almost disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's strange," one of the spies said, "Why is this carriage so fast?"
"Idiot, extraordinary people must have methods." Another secret agent responded, "We just need to find their whereabouts."
"Hey, look, the carriage has stopped."
The strong wind carried the snowflakes, and they saw the carriage parked quietly on the official road. There was no movement, and they only heard the neighing of the horses.
"What's going on?"
"Whatever, go and take a look, but don't get too close, okay?"
"I know, I know."
When these sentries picked up their weapons and approached the carriage, they saw no reaction from it. They came to the side of the carriage and looked at it. They found that there was no demon hunter in front of them, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"No, they ran away long ago. This is a ploy!"
Another person quickly dismounted and reached for the side door of the carriage.
But before he exerted any force, five translucent cyclones suddenly burst out from the cracks in the door, rushing towards the door like an enraged swarm of bees.
The secret agent at the front lifted half of his face instantly, revealing his bloody gums;
One of the second person's eyeballs exploded into berries in its socket;
A strange line of blood surged in front of the third person's neck, and his spine made a crisp sound like a bamboo joint bursting.
Dick's Mind Shockwave succeeded with one blow, seriously injuring five secret agents in an instant.
He didn't stop. After jumping off the carriage, he jumped up high with both feet, causing deep dents in the frozen soil.
Relying on the powerful jumping power brought by [Extreme Leap], he jumped onto the horseback of a secret agent and waved a White Heat with his right hand. The secret agent was split in half from the middle without saying a word, and the dark blue organs twitched and fell, exuding a strong stench.
Dick jumped onto the back of another horse.
Amidst the brief panicked neighing of the horses, in just a breath, only one of these spies was left.
This man finally recovered from the horror of the scene in front of him of the demon hunter killing his companions like a ghost. He yelled "Drive!" He clasped his horse with both legs and ran away in the distance.
Dick did not chase, but stood firmly on the back of a horse and drew the short crossbow from his waist.
He raised his short crossbow and took a deep breath. The movements of the secret agents in his field of vision also became slower.
According to the spy's trajectory, he fired a crossbow arrow toward a point in front of him.
When he retracted the short crossbow, the arrow had already cut through the air, making a sound of breaking through the air, and hit the secret agent in the back of the head.
With a "bang", the spy's body fell to the snow next to him, and the blood that spilled printed steaming mist on the snow.
Dick gently dismounted, came to the side door of the carriage, and asked inside, "Xiya, were you okay just now?"
"I'm fine."
"Then let's continue on our way. If there are no accidents, we can reach Hot Spring Village before dark tonight.
Let's take a short rest and then we'll start again."
"There's no need to rest, we just keep on going."
Dick gently stroked Xiya's pale face, "You don't look good, you must take a rest."
"But..."
"Don't worry, no matter who wants to hurt you, they have to break my sword first."
"I listen to you."
The two set off again, this time without anyone following them.
When the strong wind blew, even the traces of the carriage wheels were blurred.
Before the sun set, Dick looked at the scattered buildings at the foot of the mountain and gently knocked on the outer wall of the carriage.
"Xiya, here we are, Hot Spring Village.
I came here once and exorcised a demon for a little mute in the village.
The village chief Green also warmly entertained me.
The reason why this place is called Hot Spring Village is because there is a hot spring.
When you get better, take a dip in that hot spring, it will definitely be very comfortable."
"Yeah." Xiya also opened the window and looked out.
Dick relaxed his mind and drove the carriage slowly down the mountain.
As soon as he entered the village, he felt something was wrong.
He glanced at the surrounding buildings. The streets were still neat and orderly. Occasionally, he could hear the crowing of chickens and dogs, but strangely, not a single villager was outside.
It's not dark yet, and even though it's late winter, Hot Spring Village is obviously warmer than other places.
"Xiya," Dick leaned against the outer wall of the carriage, "Don't move here."
"Okay."
After getting off Dick, immediately concentrate on turning on Witcher Senses.
He looked at several vague traces on the ground in front of him. He did not mark them one by one, but relied on his enhanced senses to sense every movement around him.
He kept his senses open, slowly bent down, and walked along the corner.
When he walked outside the door of the village chief Green who had treated the little mute, he held his breath and turned on Second Witcher Senses.
In an instant, more than twenty bright and dark red lights appeared in the courtyard.
At the same time, he heard a familiar voice.
"Let me tell you, the demon hunter named Dick is not familiar with me. How could they come to Hot Spring Village to settle down?" This was the voice of the village chief Green.
"How did we know? Who could have expected that he would come here? But this is just the right place for us Hound Mercenary Company to stay.
Anyway, good wine and good food are on hand, otherwise all of you villagers will die, do you understand?"
Dick has already moved silently from the roof to the eaves, looking down from a high place:
The corpses of five villagers hung upside down on wooden thorns like lambs in a slaughterhouse. Frozen blood dripped down their toes, creating dense scarlet in the courtyard.
The youngest deceased's mouth was wide open, and the ice in his throat reflected the setting sun, freezing his remains in an eternal scream.
