Chapter 263 Disposal
"ah!"
Several young noblemen screamed, whipped their horses hard, and fled as fast as they could.
It's not that they are timid, but they know how terrifying the mysterious attack is.
That bodyguard is also an extraordinary person!
"Um?"
When Hank appeared, Fang Xian felt something was wrong and stroked his forehead gently.
[Danger Premonition] was activated, making him realize that the real danger was not the horribly dead body, but the stench of corpses that filled the air.
"This kind of attack is somewhat similar to a wizard's curse..."
"And... it seems that someone is manipulating this. They are not targeting those noble men and women, but... me and Peter?"
Fang Xian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Those who came to hunt were all local nobles, and the death of one or two of them would be a shocking case.
Therefore, the murderer at most killed Hank, the groom, and a bodyguard.
This makes this mysterious incident look more like a warning and temptation rather than an attack.
"Of course... This is the case for the others, but it's hard to say for me and Pete... ...Besides, I'm still too weak. I'm just an [Ancient Bronze], and I don't have many attack methods. Should I just rush in and rush into anything when I encounter it? That's a warrior, not a warlock... Although my talent is indeed more suitable..."
Thinking of this, he pulled Pete and kept backing away, shouting, "Cover your mouth and nose, they might be poisoned!"
This was obviously more acceptable than cursing, and Pete quickly covered his mouth and nose.
At the same time, Fang Xian's eyes suddenly changed, with only the whites of his eyes remaining.
In an instant, his thoughts rose, as if rising to the high sky, overlooking the entire forest, and combining with the perspectives of each small animal.
This is a combination of the talents of [Animal Affinity] and [Soul Out-of-Body].
After all, these are abilities that Fang Xian himself has honed countless times, and they can be used with great flexibility.
On the treetop, a squirrel holding a fruit suddenly dropped the fruit and ran away quickly.
In the forest, a giant bear roared and rushed towards the direction where Hank had fetched water before.
A triangular snake head suddenly emerged from under the fallen leaves, and the scales on its body blended with the surrounding colors.
More mice, insects, pigs, birds...all kinds of small animals became busy, forming a large surveillance network together.
At this time, this forest suddenly became Fang Xian's home ground.
It didn't take long before Fang Xian discovered something was wrong through the gaze of a falcon.
Deep in the forest, a guy in a gray cloak is performing a mysterious ceremony.
"The taste of curse..."
He immediately switched perspective, transforming into a squirrel, and carefully observed the ritual.
"Hmm... It's only the second level, [Ancient Bronze] level, but if we can't find him, it will be a bit troublesome..."
Curse-type mysterious attacks are indeed very powerful and difficult to deal with.
If you are caught off guard, you can curse the enemy even by jumping over a staircase.
However, it also has a weakness, which is that the caster is relatively vulnerable. If the source is found, it is possible to solve everything.
Thinking indifferently, Fang Xian changed his perspective again.
He turned into a poisonous snake that crawled through the dead leaves and slowly crawled to the gray-robed man.
Sudden!
He arched his body, jumped up suddenly, and bit the gray-robed man's throat with his sharp fangs!
The other party obviously did not expect to be attacked. He fell down with a scream, grabbed the poisonous snake and pulled it in half.
"Damn it, there's also snake venom..."
The man in gray robe no longer cared about the ceremony and hurriedly searched his pockets, trying to find a tube of antidote.
Roar!
At this moment, a wild boar rushed out of the dense forest in a brutal manner, like a tank, and crashed into the mysterious man in gray robe.
A sharp sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out.
There was a mountain bear and a group of wild wolves running towards them, with a faint green light in their eyes.
…
Pete covered his mouth and nose, looking at the forest in horror, fearing that some monster would jump out of it again.
But he had another feeling.
It seemed that just in the instant, the gloomy and cold feeling around disappeared.
"Walk!"
Beside him, Fang Xian pulled his shoulders, and a group of noble young masters and young ladies mounted their horses with the help of servants and quickly fled from here.
The extraordinary bodyguards also felt strange because the curse was no longer active.
However, they were happy with it. None of them had the courage to face it, but instead protected their own goals and left the forest.
Only after they had run a long distance did they slow down slightly and breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. At the same time, they were a little confused: "Could it be... really just a mysterious outbreak by chance?"
…
A young nobleman who was hunting in the wild was suspected to have been attacked!
This is definitely big news in the small county of Worcestershire.
Before nightfall, the sheriff had already arrived. After a test, he cordoned off the scene and waited for professionals to take over.
At this time, inside the dense forest.
Two men in black windbreakers were already standing where the man in gray robe had been.
One of
After swallowing the 'mystery', ordinary beasts have a certain probability of turning into magical creatures.
Of course, that is unlikely. The biggest possibility is that you will become irritable, angry, and easily hurt others.
"The curse ritual, the source is here, but the curse caster was eaten by a wild beast..." Another middle-aged man frowned, "This is a bit like the work of a 'druid', the ability of the enemy of nature... Are there any 'druids' among the bodyguards of those noble young masters and young ladies?"
"According to the registration, there isn't any... I always find it a little strange. Why would a 'curse master' attack a bunch of young masters and young ladies? Is it just revenge?"
The young man stood up and asked, "After all, we all know may have offended someone without realizing it..."
"I know you are angry, but don't forget the purpose of our special department. We are just people who deal with extraordinary cases and don't need to worry about other things."
The middle-aged man warned.
"Yeah... I just... feel a little emotional." The young agent looked sad.
"But it's normal to retrieve some information for the purpose of investigating a case, isn't it?" The middle-aged agent blinked his eyes. "If there is something that will cause great public outrage, it might be picked up by a conscientious tabloid reporter... They are willing to risk their lives to make a big news story."
“That’s right!”
The young man's eyes lit up. He took out his notebook and checked the noble families one by one. He pointed to one row with interest: "The Roland family? The latest upstart?"
