Chapter 6: The Heart-Removing Succubus·Sophie [Seeking for further reading] The
sudden sound of the horn made Chen Xuan stop in his tracks.
"Woo~"
Immediately afterwards, a second horn sound with a longer pitch came.
Looking at the direction of the sound source, he found that both horns came from the east.
By the time it reached him, it had become somewhat vague and profound.
After two horn blasts, the distant sky returned to silence.
Chen Xuan couldn't help frowning and thinking in his heart.
"There's something going on."
"The horn was usually used to convey orders in ancient times." "
The sound came from the east. Could it be a warning from the suspected settlement?"
He did not act rashly.
In line with the principle of not joining in the fun, we decided to release the drone again for detection.
The sky was dark at this time, like the morning sun had not yet fully risen.
If there is a fire in the distance, the drone will definitely be able to see it.
...
Eya Forest, Colo Leon's farm next to the River of Fireflies.
The open land along the river bank has very fertile soil.
The large fields cultivated here are also planted with alfalfa and soybeans.
It raises dozens of cows and twelve forest draft horses that are good at carrying and pulling.
The agricultural and animal husbandry products produced will be sent to Magtan City, which is more than 20 miles east.
This is a small city adjacent to the Eya Forest and provides a transit point for passing adventurers. It is also the long border of the Kingdom of Duroa. One of the more prosperous towns in the world.
On the other side of the Flowing Firefly River, at the foot of the northern hills, there is a small monster burrow.
Therefore, Colo Leon Farm has also become a resting point for adventurers here to frequently replenish supplies.
With the river as the boundary, wooden walls were erected along the bank, and six simple sentry towers were built to guard against monster attacks.
There are also two simple wooden cabins in the farm for adventurers to rest.
Of course, all this comes with a fee.
At this time, the Colo Leon farm was already brightly lit, with more than a dozen braziers hanging on the walls and corners of the house.
The oil-rich pine wood crackled as it burned, and the air was filled with the choking smell of incomplete combustion.
Just wait for the white sun to set, the blue sun to the west, and the six-hour pseudo night will come.
Then there is a moonlit night that lasts for eighteen hours.
Whenever night falls, most adventurers outside will choose to return early.
Because the monsters at this time will become extremely violent and bloodthirsty, they will often take the opportunity to attack the farms and towns near the cave.
As usual, adventurers who come to the farm to stay and rest will consciously assume the responsibility of guarding it.
Until the next day comes.
There are currently about twenty adventurers gathered in the farm.
Among them are strong mountain barbarians, as well as wild boars and iron fist dwarves with amazing endurance.
There are also half-elf rangers carrying longbows and quivers, dog-human swordsmen, cat-eared scouts, as well as human holy light priests and elemental spellcasters wearing blue and white robes.
The various humanoid races prove that this world is by no means a stage for the human race.
However, under the threat of monsters emerging from various places, most intelligent races have chosen to live in harmony.
The frontal battlefield is guarded by the alliance armies of the major kingdoms.
The small and medium-sized burrows that appear scattered around towns and resource points are solved by adventurers from all over the place.
In between are the monster threats and the organized mercenary groups.
In order to deal with monster disasters, the intelligent races of this world have formed a targeted system.
A balanced situation can basically be maintained.
Monsters attack towns/farms at night to rob and kill. Adventurers actively hunt monsters during the day, use energy storage crystals to absorb the magic power that escapes after their death, and dig out useful magic materials.
The two parties are hunters and hunters of each other, and their identities often change.
All the adventurers had reached an agreement a few hours ago and were divided into two groups to take turns on duty in a twelve-hour rotation.
On the guard tower next to the wooden wall on the river bank, two slim figures with long bows straddling diagonally and wearing black robes put down the horns in their hands.
Across the more than ten meters wide River of Flowing Fireflies, one could clearly see pairs of vicious eyes emitting scarlet light dormant in the low bushes on the other side of the river.
Further away, in the shadows of the forest, there were even shadows, as if there were giant monsters moving around.
The monster is coming!
This time they came earlier than usual.
He actually appeared on the shore before the pseudo-night had completely arrived.
Therefore, the rangers as sentinels blew the horns without hesitation.
After the warning, the adventurers who took turns also grabbed their weapons and walked out of the hotel.
Colo Leon Farm was established ten years ago.
At that time, there were no monster crypts nearby, and life had always been peaceful.
Until three years ago, after the underground cave appeared, adventurers also heard about it.
In order to cope with the attacks of monsters at night, the farmer Colo built fortifications.
There is no shortage of wood around it and it is blocked by the River of Fireflies, which is more than ten meters wide.
As long as the pontoon is removed before dark, it will be difficult for the monsters to launch an effective attack.
Moreover, in the past three years, the scale of monster attacks has not been large, and the total number has rarely exceeded fifty.
After all, there are usually several groups of adventurers killing monsters near the caves.
After the horn sounded, Colo Leon himself climbed up to the roof with his 16-year-old son, each carrying an iron crossbow with a waist trigger.
A shooting point was set up there, with not only a chest-high wooden wall bunker, but also a rattan basket ready to be filled with crossbow bolts.
The atmosphere in the farm was not tense, and everyone seemed familiar with the situation.
While everyone was holding high torches and preparing for the attack, a white-haired and red-eyed scout from the Cat-Ear Clan looked particularly solemn.
One of her hands was on the short blade at her waist, while the other hand was always holding the close-fitting leather bag on her chest, looking worried.
As time passed by, the three moons in the sky bloomed simultaneously at a certain moment.
The largest sun completely disappeared at the end of the world.
Pseudo Night has arrived.
"Ouch~"
"Roar..."
"Jie!"
Various bone-crushing roars came from the other side of the river.
That was the joy of the monsters. These guys never knew what fear was.
...
The view switches to the other side of the river bank.
The scale of the monsters dormant and gathered here seems to exceed the adventurers' expectations.
Hundreds of monsters carrying crude weapons were waiting for the order to charge.
In addition to the largest number of goblins who serve as cannon fodder, there are also many powerful monsters mixed in.
Under the three-color moonlight, a seductive figure was flapping its purple wings and hovering in the air a few meters above the ground, and its whole body was still exuding a vague light pink smoke.
Her face was extremely stunning, and her bright red eyes were like blood.
There are purple secret lines passing over the fair skin, making it even more charming.
The plump mountains and slender waist form a great visual contrast.
It's enough to drive any male creature crazy!
If it weren't for the pair of backward-curving threaded horns on her head, which showed her evil temperament, she would be a stunner in the world.
All the monsters are vaguely centered on her.
When the false night arrived, she slowly opened her red lips and whispered softly in a cold and cold voice.
"I, the Heart-Flayering Succubus Sophie, give you an order!"
"Go, go, good bastards..."
"Take back the demon species and kill the humble humans!!!"
