A hint of coldness lingers in my heart.

Qiao's heartbeat for no reason several times, and his hair stood up one by one.

There were soldiers and knights carrying torches and horse lanterns all over the place, but Qiao still felt chill, a little guilty, and a little scared... The black pine forest around seemed to be suddenly filled with countless ghosts.

...

Well, this is the fear that Joe instinctively created.

And the root of all this... I can only say that when the child is still young, it is best not to tell a "ghost story" when he is about to go to bed!

When Qiao was a child, Lea would occasionally tell some folk legends in order to coax him to sleep.

There are many legends about "non-human".

‘Non-human’!

All non-human, all descriptive sea monsters, all understandable monsters, and all indescribable existences that cannot be accurately described by human language... All "weird" and "terror" can be called "non-human".

There are many extremely 'terrifying' and 'evil' existences.

For example, the circulating among the people of Tulun Port, "a walking small house", "a little fireplace for children", "a slipper for toes" and so on... These can all be classified as "non-human".

When Qiao was a child, he heard a lot of such "non-human" bedtime stories... It is conceivable how serious the psychological shadow these things left him.

Even though he was eighteen years old, he suddenly heard the word "non-human" by the Hydra Secret Guard, and even though there were so many extraordinary combat powers around him, Qiao still subconsciously burst into a cold sweat.

"Not human?" Qiao looked at the Hydra Secret Guard solemnly.

"There is no entity, but it has a very strong combat power... We have encountered similar things." The face of Hydra Secret Guard was a little ugly: "The tall and thin figure in the Black Pine Fort... The black figure specializing in trafficking children... In the past decade, he has been very famous near Hedra Fort."

Qiao stared at the Hydra Secret Guard with wide eyes and signaled him to continue.

"We have caught three, and are still imprisoned in the Hall of Clost for study by His Excellency Metiga... We have killed seven... but they are still appearing." Hydra Secret Guard said in a low voice in a hint of grimness: "Their strength is strong and weak, and they have just entered the fifth level, and the one just now is absolutely senior level six."

Qiao took a slight breath of cold air. He squinted his eyes and frowned, and looked at the dark black pine forest through the car window.

He murmured in a low voice: "Start up and rush back to Fort Heidra... The Corrosion Spirit can cause such a big mess..."

Qiao didn't finish his words.

When the Great Ivan and his group were preparing to attack Sharpth who had left the Golden Hammer Club in the Miller house, they met Archbishop Arya of Hill Church, Mia and Mico in the Miller house.

Today, in Heidra Fort, in addition to the corrupt spirits who escaped... there are also heresies from the Hill Church lurking.

Hurry up and protect Ferdinand back to Fort Heidra.

Qiao Ke was unwilling to admit that it was because of his inexplicable fear that he was unwilling to stay on this dark forest avenue for a while.

Ferdinand suddenly giggled: "Little guy, what are you afraid of? Ah, ah, the 'non-human' stories... those horrible bedtime stories? Hahaha, when Sallyan and Conrad were kids, I told them a lot of such stories... "

"Oh, oh, you don't know. Looking at your baby son, you were so scared that you hurried in the quilt and didn't dare to move. You obediently woke up until dawn. What an interesting thing this is!"

"Let me think about the bedtime story I liked to tell them the most at that time, about the 'non-human'... it was 'can crawl out of the slut'... hehe, 'can crawl out of the slut', Sallyan and Conrad liked this story very much."

Joe rolled his eyes and looked at Ferdinand.

This... old bastard.

Subconsciously touched the hairs standing up from the back of his neck, and Qiao instinctively looked at the Black Songlin.

Outside the prison van, the Hydra Secret Guards and the high-level knights made sharp whistles at the same time. They drew out their weapons and formed a battle formation next to the prison van.

Just where Qiao's sight was, in the black pine forest, there were more than a dozen people about nine feet tall, thin as bamboo poles, wearing a round hat and holding a slender crutch, standing in a row more than a hundred feet away from the avenue.

They stood there quietly, with cold air all over their bodies and evil air everywhere.

A team of soldiers raised the new rifle in their hands, and with the order of a captain officer, the soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time.

These soldiers are all elite field troops near Fort Heidra.

The new rifles in their hands are new things that are small-batch trial-made by Salian's arsenal.

Half inch, that is, the metric caliber of 12.5 millimeters, ten rounds of magazines, semi-automatic. Combined with mechanical sights, this new rifle has extremely high accuracy within nearly two thousand feet.

Within one thousand feet, this new large-caliber rifle is enough to pose a fatal threat to extraordinary warriors below level 5.

More than three hundred soldiers raised their guns and aimed at them at the same time, "bang, bang, bang"... A large-caliber steel core was whistled by copper bullets and drilled out of the gun chamber, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, they rushed towards more than a dozen black shadows in the dense forest.

The cold temperature made the black pine trees extremely hard. Large-diameter bullets hit the frozen black pine trees, bursting out large pits the size of human heads.

These soldiers are well-trained elites. Only half of the bullets hit the tree trunk, and most of the other bullets hit those strange shadows.

The black shadows appear and disappear from time to time. When the bullets hit their bodies, they become transparent in an instant. When the bullets fly by, they reappear.

In just a few breaths, the soldiers fired up all the bullets of the magazines. They took out the magazines one after another, took out the new magazines from the ammunition bag hanging around their waists, and quickly completed the filling.

The gunshots rang again.

A tall grenade was throwing heavy new grenades into the dense forest.

A huge explosion sounded, shrapnel splashed everywhere, and small steel balls kept hitting the tree trunk, causing the bark of black pine trees to crack, and countless dense pits were made on the trunk.

Ferdinand, sitting opposite Joe, stood up in a panic as the gunshots rang out, lay on the car window, and looked at the soldiers who were firing fiercely outside.

"The shape of this gun...is not right."

"The power of this gun...is not right."

"The rate of fire of this gun...is even more wrong... This is not a flintlock rifle, this is..."

Joe looked at Ferdinand and lowered his voice: "New rifle, good thing developed by His Highness Salian."

Ferdinand looked at Joe with a suspicion: "Salian's credit? No, you lied to me...Salian is my son, I know him better than you... He is indeed a good heir to the throne, but to say that he can invent such a thing? Do you think he is the mechanical madman from the Second University?"

Ferdinand narrowed his eyes and pointed at Joe: "Ah, those boxes moved out of the Royal Bank headquarters... and the Jules Silver Hammers family that Salian bought from me... Well, and you little guy!"

"You little guy, very interesting!" Ferdinand pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, his eyes swept over the medals worn by Joe, and the badges: "It's interesting... If you are willing to lend me a million gold mark."

Joe rolled his eyes, and he pushed open the door of the prison car and started shouting loudly.

The carriage shook slightly, and several Hydra Secret Guards quickly got into the carriage and sat next to Ferdinand. Joe stepped on the carriage pedals, walked out of the prison car, and then closed the door heavily: "You guys look forward to him... Ha, I'll get to know these uninvited friends."

Qiao breathed deeply, his pupils glowed red. He ignored the obstacles of Mr. Si Gengsi and Lan Mujin, gritted his teeth and walked a few steps towards the jungle, and arrived at the junction of the avenue and jungle.

The instinct of crimson rose quietly, and Joe felt great humiliation and anger in his heart because of the fear that had just been inexplicably aroused.

He actually... feared these...'despicable scum'?

Qiao's two eyeballs quickly turned red, and a faint red light flashed in the darkness. With the subtle sound, his sleeves were quietly shattered, and the Titan Fist turned into a streamer, quickly wrapping his arms.

"Hey, what are you guys...what are you doing here? Huh?"

"I heard that you are very good at abducting children?"

"Ha, we don't have children here... we are all big men!"

The gunshots and explosions stopped.

The soldiers had no choice but to find that their guns or grenades did not kill these black shadows at all.

The soldiers held the rifles in their hands tightly, and like Joe before, they breathed heavily and sweated all over their bodies.

A tall and thin black shadow walked forward silently. He raised the thin cane in his hand and pointed gently at the prison car where Ferdinand was.

Silently, with the movement of this black shadow, a faint layer of mist rose in the dense forest on both sides of the avenue. In just one or two breaths, the mist in the dense forest became thicker and gradually became thicker and milky white like milk.

The front and back of the avenue where the team is located are also blocked by white fog.

In the white fog at the front and back ends of the avenue, thin and tall black shadows also appeared.

Joe lowered his voice and asked the two Hydra Secret Guards who came close to him: "There are so many such things? Just next to Heidra Fort? Hell!"

The two Hydra Secret Guards also looked ugly.

Because these shadows are related to some children's disappearances, the Hydra Secret Guard and other powerful departments of the Empire have joined forces to encircle and suppress them.

However, after more than ten years of encirclement and suppression, the total number of black shadows they discovered was less than twenty.

Kill some and arrest some. In recent years, the disappearance of children seems to have disappeared. Everyone still thinks that these dark shadows have been completely extinct.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people there that emerged at the same time today.

Gripping his teeth, Qiao looked at the black shadow that was only fifty feet away from him, and he clenched his right fist hard and punched him out.
