After a while, Gu Xiaoheng and his group stood straight in place with their horses, staring at the tragic scene on the ground with a serious expression.

On a sandy slope near the main road near the stream on the road, two NPCs were lying.

Shocking blood marks flowed on the two NPCs' bodies and on the sand and stone ground.

The tragic scenes all prove how the two NPCs suffered before being brutally attacked and killed by monsters...

Leading Maeve with frowning, Gu Xiaoheng followed Geralt's pace to check the situation.

The NPC corpse on the ground wearing a white sheepskin jacket and a blue skirt was covered with dense needle-like wounds.

It was obvious that the thick black blood clots condensed on the back of her leather jacket were from these dense fatal injuries.

Gu Xiaoheng, who saw the first corpse, joined Maeve and frowned.

The difference is that Maeve frowned because the angels prefer cleanliness.

Gu Xiaoheng felt it was difficult for the monster to be cruel. After all, it was a scene that made people lose SAN value when they saw it, and it was a modern person who was unwilling to watch it too much.

In the precedent of the first female corpse, Geralt soon found the same dense needle-like fatal injury on the back of the male NPC.

After observing all this, the witch hunter pulled off the leather wallet hanging from the wide belt tied around the waist of the male NPC.

Don't get me wrong. Of course, witch hunters who have a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of monster attack on pedestrians are not greedy for this little money.

But in this era when detection technology is not developed, the best way to identify corpses is to check their wallets.

Usually, the unusual small objects in the wallet, even the type of coins, can reveal where a person comes from, what profession is in, and what identity is.

After searching and exploring, Geralt and his group looked at each other at the two objects in front of them.

A copper ring that proves the identity of the ordnant master of the male corpse, and a bank loan certificate with a considerable loan amount.

Due to the blood stains of the wallet owner, the bank seal on the loan voucher and the borrower owner column have long been blurred and invisible.

Looking at the handwriting of the dragon and the phoenix dancing on the certificate, and the place where the bank seal turned into a pool of black blood plasma, Geralt rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

As for Gu Xiaoheng, he was puzzled by the task panel and prompt system in confusion.

What surprised him was that from just now, the system and prompts were like broken and nothing was displayed.

After shaking the paper loan certificate in his hand, Geralt finally spoke in a long silence: "Eternal, it seems that the situation is worse than I thought."

Having attracted the attention of Gu Xiaoheng and the others, the Witchhunter then added: "Based on the paper material of the loan certificate, coupled with the surface handwriting and terrible magical waterproof enchantment, there is no doubt that this is not a style habit of dwarfs or human banks. Therefore, they are likely to come from the wizard bank issued by those stingy fairies - Guling Pavilion!"

Gulingge? Hearing this familiar bank name, Gu Xiaoheng's eyebrows rose wildly.

"But Geralt, the nearest Gringot Bank here is also in Winterfell! At such a long distance, why did these two people go so far with an unpaid loan certificate?"

"My brother, here's the problem! Besides, the monsters that attacked them are not dark creatures common in the northern borders such as werewolf and woodland dwarfs. If these two were really the same, they would definitely chew off the corpse on the spot. If there was a swamp nearby, it might be a Chichimo or a swamp snake. But as you can see, there is no swamp nearby here at all!"

The atmosphere at the scene became completely cold after Geralt's analysis.

The cold winter wind at the northern border at night was blowing on Gu Xiaoheng's body. Even when recalling Geralt's judgments, he unconsciously added a bit of horror to his words.

Just as the anxiety and faint uneasiness in his heart climbed to Gu Xiaoheng's emotional high ground, a jade hand with the charming fragrance and warmth quietly held his palm. After firmly holding the palm of the man beside him, Maeve smiled slightly.

"Don't worry or worry too much. I'm here, sir! I will always be by your side."

"Thank you, Maeve."

After seeing the two of them looking at each other with a grumpy look, Geralt could only look up at the sky with great difficulty.

"Ahem, let's go on! The night is still long, and we need to find a suitable place to stay in front of the monsters hunting most of the nights."

....

After half an hour of long journey, Geralt was the first to discover a dim beam of light in the thick night in the distance.

The location of the beam may be where the farm can stay!

When Geralt shared the news with Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve, their expressions immediately became excited.

In fact, from the afternoon trip to the present, Gu Xiaoheng's physical strength has been in danger, and has dropped to a rather dangerous low value.

After all, no matter how strong his combat power is now, his body is just a level 5 little swordsman.

The long-distance consumption that he had been rushing along the way without having time to rest directly consumed his physical strength of more than 100 points.

And this is the result of Gu Xiaoheng's use of various labor-saving techniques to save money.

If you change a passerby player for such a long journey, it would probably not be enough to give them double or even triple physical strength!

....

For consideration, Gu Xiaoheng, who had exhausted his energy, decided to let Mave hold the reins and control his mount to advance invincible.

And he himself sat happily behind the wide saddle and took on Mave's original job - alert, or it could be said to be fishing!

Of course, under Geralt's reminder, Gu Xiaoheng held the witch hunter badge in his left hand and the Frost Sadness in his right hand, looking alert to fight at any time.

Through the backs of Maeve and Geralt, he saw a tall stone wall on the side of the road.

A sapling that he couldn't say was strangely attached to the ivy and grape vines on the high walls, and finally joined together and twisted into a strange and curious circle.

Gu Xiaoheng looked up and there seemed to be a little tingling pain in his neck, as if some invisible soft creature had wrapped around him, and a trace of his hair was blowing provocatively...

He was targeted.

Just at this moment, the witch hunter badge on Gu Xiaoheng's left hand that could sense the existence of all magic creatures trembled slightly...

"Everyone be careful, be careful behind it! There is a situation!"

The moment he shouted to remind Maeve and Geralt, Gu Xiaoheng calmly turned around from the invincible saddle of the war horse.

With a loud sound of horse hooves and a sniff of war horses, a girl appeared on the gentle slope he had just ridden over, holding an ancient tree with her white and bloodless fingers.

The girl was wearing a dazzling white long dress, and her long hair scattered on her shoulders looked even darker.

Under the wind and snowy night in the northern border, her appearance, and even the smile that had been hanging on her face, added a bit of ghostly to the atmosphere present.

"Let me negotiate with her forever."

After quickly rolling over and dismounting, Geralt, who also felt the trembling badge of the Wolf School, looked at the girl who was smiling at them.

"Hello! We're just passing here. You-"

Before Geralt finished speaking, the girl who felt Geralt approaching a step forward turned around and ran away like a frightened deer.

She skillfully walked through the tangled woods of branches, and disappeared like a gust of wind. The bottom of the skirt that grew enough to mop the floor did not affect her running speed from beginning to end...

As she disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye, a deep thought appeared in Geralt's calm eyes.

After pondering for a while, the witch hunter finally turned back on his horse and announced: "Let's go! The man has disappeared, it's more important to hurry up!"

After confirming that the task was not triggered and the girl's level was a strange monster with a level 30 detection limit under the exploration technique, Gu Xiaoheng had to give up the investigation.

As a mature rebirth, he knows when to go and when to choose to follow his heart.

After walking along the tall stone wall that appeared before for dozens of minutes, everyone finally stopped in front of a solid gate.

The door is inlaid with iron nails and rusty hinges, which are used as knocking to remind the owner of a light gray area. The brass door knocker that reminds the owner of a guest is also covered with a layer of light gray.

After hesitating for a moment, Geralt, the leader, still knocked on the brass door knocker.

The next second, the witch hunter took Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve quickly retreated.

Behind the door with a creaking sound, the weeds, stones and branches in front of the door were presented to everyone in a clear view.

Bang! After a loud crash of objects, the windows and doors of the house near the courtyard opened at the same time.

He suddenly looked up and saw a monster appearing at the end of the cobbled path, attacking Geralt, who was leading with anger.

In the flash of lightning, Gu Xiaoheng and his group drew their weapons together, forced the monsters to rush directly to them with their sharp blades, and finally retreated to a safe distance where both sides could look at each other.

Having sufficient confidence to ensure that the monster could bring him a heart-warming feeling with one sword, Geralt and his group began to carefully look at the monster in front of him.

The monster resembles a human figure and wears human-style clothes - although its clothes are already ragged, they can vaguely reveal a bit of luxury from the style and fabric. The style of clothes that are now slightly outdated may have been considered the standard clothing of a nobleman more than ten years ago.

The reason why this monster looks like a human is that it can be seen under the tunic that he has a human neck like a human. But above his neck, he has a head as big as a bear. In his bloody face, his curved fangs are exposed naked to the outside world, which looks scary.

The moment he saw him for the first time, Gu Xiaoheng threw a Explosion technique on his head.

[The cursed human "Newellen" - the owner of the manor here LV.25]

Just as they looked at each other, the monster in front of them roared and opened their mouths.

"Get out of my estate, humans! Otherwise, I will eat you all!"
