At ten o'clock that evening, the night was as dark as ink, and two carriages were parked quietly beside a bonfire.

"Why don't we do it? Are you sure that those soldiers who seem to be unable to speak can get any useful information?" Carmen, Gunter and others sat around the fire, and they had a bunch of strange objects in their hands.

There was salt, straw, a strange-looking music box, and bread that looked extremely unpalatable... I don't know where they got these things from.

"Don't worry, they may not be very good at fighting, but when it comes to hiding ability, except for Bubuwang, there should be no one better than them here."

Hearing this, Bubu, who was lying on the ground, barked twice. It was obvious that he was very pleased with the praise and wanted Lin Yi to praise him a few more times.

"Well, I'm back."

Just as Lin Yi was arguing with a few people, the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps who went to investigate returned to the camp.

In the hands of these Shadow Corps soldiers was a thick stack of paper, on which were clearly drawn the portraits of the witches in this witch gathering place.

"Oh? You actually have this ability. I didn't realize it before." Carmen casually picked up a portrait in the hands of a soldier of the Shadow Corps. After taking a closer look, she found that the portrait was very lifelike, even clearer than the one on the wanted poster.

"Let me take a look. This one is a blood swallow, and it can control birds. I've never seen this one before, and it must have just become a witch not long ago. These two are elementals, and they didn't die in the last encirclement and suppression battle. It seems they escaped."

Carmen knew the origins of these witches very clearly. Every time she took out a portrait of a witch, the surrounding Sunset Red Team would prepare different props according to the characteristics of different witches.

These strange props are useless to ordinary people, but they are extremely troublesome to witches.

"This time the witches gathered here, it seems that they are planning to trade with some savages. It seems that the life of witches in the south is not easy either."

Looking at the intelligence brought back by the Shadow Corps, Lin Yi really didn't expect that the situation of the southern witches would be so difficult. They would go through so much trouble just for a few savages.

Initially, there were quite a few civilians in the southern region. However, since the Moy family drove other forces out of the south, the power of witches in the entire south has lost its checks and balances, which has made the witches become more and more wanton in treating civilians.

In the past few years, many black witches even massacred civilians in the gathering place in large numbers in order to conduct experiments.

As time went on, ordinary humans in the southern region were either slaughtered by witches or found ways to escape from this hellish place.

Today, the number of witches in the southern region is several times more than that of ordinary people, and ordinary people have become a scarce resource.

As a result, witches could only capture wild people to conduct experiments.

"Can we do it tonight?"

Gunter loaded the shotgun neatly with one hand. Ever since Lin Yi cured his dementia, the bloody smell emanating from Gunter was so strong that even Su Xiao couldn't help but look sideways when he saw it.

When Carmen heard Gunter's question, a dangerous smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

"Of course. Originally I just wanted to kill a few ordinary witches for practice. But now that so many people have come to my door, how can I not treat them well?"

After Carmen finished speaking, several old men gathered around the fire and started laughing. The eerie smiles scared Bubu Wang so much that he jumped away from the fire.

"How confident are you that you can win tonight?"

The drunk took the wine flask from his waist and casually took two gulps.

After finishing the wine, he threw the jug directly into the fire.

"100%." ​​Lin Yi responded to this question on behalf of Carmen.

To be honest, there are only more than 20 low-level witches, and Lin Yi can take care of them with the Shadow Legion alone.

However, since old men like Carmen wanted to use this opportunity to recover, Lin Yi naturally would not spoil their fun. After all, for these old men, prey is the ultimate pursuit in their lives.

"Leaving now?"

Blood Bear's eyes seemed to be shining. He hadn't killed a witch for more than ten years.

"of course."

"Let's go and take a look at how normal witch hunters hunt witches."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Su Xiao and Bubu Wang stood up from the fire.

Popgar was also planning to follow, but was stopped by Lin Yi, who asked him to stay and guard the carriage.

If these two carriages were gone, everyone would have to walk, which was not the situation Lin Yi wanted to see.

Several old men walked towards the carriage, ready to get their weapons, but Carmen did not move. His weapon was the cane.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao came to the top of a mountain. From this high place, they could see the entire view below at a glance.

"Would you like some melon seed drinks?"

After sitting down, Lin Yi took out two small stools from his personal space. Su Xiao did not refuse and directly took one of the small stools and put it under his butt, and took a handful of melon seeds from Lin Yi's hand.

Twenty minutes later, in a sheltered valley in a mountain depression, there were dozens of wooden houses scattered around.

Some of the wooden houses have collapsed, obviously people don't live here often.

This is a small market for witches. At the end of every month, witches will exchange items with each other here.

An extremely ugly synthetic beast was lying in the valley. It was pitch black all around. Its nose kept moving, as if it smelled something strange.

swoosh~
A crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness, and before the synthetic beast could even roar, its central nervous system was accurately severed by the crossbow arrow. The deadly poison on the arrow made it go into shock instantly.

A black shadow flashed through the night like a ghost, then stopped in front of the synthetic beast, reached out and grabbed the synthetic beast's paw pad, observing it carefully.

"Sharp teeth, hooked claws, and rock dust on the hair. It's a fourth-stage elemental guy."

"Force them out."

Hearing this, the drunkard took off the package on his back, then took out two pottery jars from the package. After opening the jars, a white smoke slowly floated out. He was standing in the upwind position at this time.

In a wooden house, a witch with scars all over her face sat up suddenly, but at that moment, a cold light flashed in front of her neck.

Carmen limped out of the cabin, while the fourth-stage witch covered her throat with both hands, and the cyan color spread along the wound toward her head at a speed clearly visible to the naked eye.

With a click, the whip in Carmen's hand instantly shrank and turned back into a cane.

The fourth-stage witch was quite powerful, but it was a pity that she didn't even have the chance to use her incarnation.

"Interesting, is it poison?" Lin Yi looked at the real-time broadcast footage transmitted by Su Xiao through the Apostle's Eye and found that the strange props in the hands of these old men actually played a significant role.

"It shouldn't be poison. The props in these guys' hands seem to have a restraining effect on different types of witches based on their specific properties." Su Xiao actually figured out some clues. To put it bluntly, the props in the hands of these old men are like diamonds.

It’s just that diamonds have special effects on all witches, while the props in their hands only work on specific types of witches.

"I don't know if there are any items that can specifically counter witches who cast spells. I'll have to ask these old guys later."

Five minutes later, there was a crisp sound, and the blood bear broke the neck of a witch.

At the same time, the wooden door behind him was pushed open, and Witch Grave walked out of the wooden house carrying a witch.

The raging flames were spreading rapidly in the market, and several old witch hunters were walking leisurely out of the valley.

They are all experts in witch hunting and are the most experienced witch hunters in the world.

Behind a wooden house, a witch with a look of fear in her eyes was leaning against the wall.

Her body was somewhat translucent, and since it was night time, she was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The witch escaped the disaster by luck because she woke up in the middle of the night because she had to urinate.

A dozen meters away, the witch who was about to walk out of the valley suddenly sniffed and stopped. This old man has a very obvious feature, that is, his eyes are a little different.

"Smells like a witch."

"Nonsense, of course this place smells like a witch." Blood Bear wiped the blood off his hands and strode out of the valley.

"No, I mean there's still the smell of a living witch." Witch Grave tilted his head, his wrinkled old face looking somewhat scary in the light of the fire.

Then, the witch grave laughed, moved her nose slightly, and began to search the surroundings carefully.

Not long after, the Witch Tomb pulled out a second-stage black witch from a shabby cabinet.

When the black witch was found in the witch's grave, she was so scared that she wet her pants on the spot.

She had seen what these old men had done just now, and she didn't want to end up in such a miserable situation.

The wood in the fire was burning with a crackling sound, and sparks would occasionally fly off.

The witch-hunting methods of the Sunset Red Team were truly brilliant, and throughout the entire operation, only a brief battle broke out at the very end.

For example, Blood Bear killed a second-stage witch with his bare hands, which is simply unimaginable for other witch hunters.

It is an indisputable fact that witches' physical fitness is far superior to that of witch hunters.

"What's the matter with this survivor?"

Lin Yi looked at the tied-up witch beside the fire with some confusion. There was no need to capture her alive at the moment. Besides, it was unlikely that such a wild witch would know anything about the Dustmash Altar and the Misty Castle.

"This is Gaunt's habit. Besides, we haven't hunted witches for some years, so we don't understand the changes here."

Carmen glanced at Melody as she spoke. The witch knew the other witch better. Although it was risky for their team to bring a black witch with them, they needed to know about the changes in the south.

"The original plan remains unchanged. We will still head straight for the Gate of Dawn and split up once we get there."

"Okay." At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the distance, and a blazing fire appeared half a kilometer away.

Several people who were gathered around the fire stood up at the same time, including Melody, who did not have the habit of going over to watch the fun out of curiosity.

In this area in the south, danger is the eternal theme.

Since Melody managed to get out of the south alive, she naturally knew that she shouldn't just watch the fun.

"Let's go."

Lin Yi stomped out the fire in front of him. The four members of the Sunset Red Team had already jumped onto the carriage and were driving towards the opposite location where the fire was emerging.

"The height of that flame is at least that of a fourth-stage witch."

Carmen sat on top of the car, her weathered eyes slightly narrowed, her look revealing a seriousness.

The aura of the other old men also began to become dangerous at this moment. It was not difficult to see that this witch-hunting activity had completely activated the witch-hunting nature in these people's bones.

For the fourth-stage witches, these people have already come up with more than a dozen ways to hunt them down.

It was not wise to travel overnight, but the group did not want to stay in the south for long. Mud and water splashed, and the two carriages disappeared into the night.

The South is known as the Land of Witches, so you can imagine the number of witches there.

At noon the next day, Su Xiao and his group encountered a second group of witches. To be precise, this was a group of witches who were fleeing for their lives.

Su Xiao had no intention of taking action against the witches he encountered by chance. Carmen and others also did not take action. They just let the three witches escape into the distance.

However, not long after, a dozen witches appeared in the distance and ran straight towards the two carriages.

But when they saw the two iron-black carriages, the dozen or so witches suddenly stopped.

"Is this... a witch hunter?"

The leading witch had an obvious look of surprise on her face. A witch behind her came forward and whispered something to her.

Su Xiao's hand was already on the hilt of the knife. With his strength, he could indeed get rid of these witches in a very short time. However, doing so would most likely cause some unexpected troubles.

The carriage was still moving forward slowly, and the team of witches was also coming this way. Just when the distance between the two sides reached the shortest, the leading third-stage witch raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Why seek death?"

Carmen glanced at her sideways. The witch's incarnation had already materialized, and it was obvious that she was preparing to keep all the people in the group.

Su Xiao drew out his long sword, and a cold light flashed in the sunlight.

Popgar seemed unable to hold back and jumped off the carriage.

Half a minute later, the surrounding woods were engulfed in flames.

Popgar's attack is accompanied by fire element attack, and every attack will cause a burning effect on the enemy.

"How is this possible?!" At this time, only the leading third-stage witch was still alive, and all her subordinates had died at the hands of Su Xiao and Pop Gar.

Su Xiao didn't have the habit of talking nonsense with such a small character. With a flash of the knife, the witch's head fell to the ground with a gurgle, splashing a small piece of dust.

Then the two of them got on the carriage. Under the burning flames, the bodies of the dozen witches would be burned to ashes in no time.

As for the incarnation fragments and blood left behind by the witches after their death, they were given to Bubuwang to collect.

three days later.

The Dokens pulling the cart roared, and the metal wheels sank deep into the mud.

Lin Yi jumped out of the carriage and summoned several soldiers from the Troll Corps to lift the carriage out of the sticky mud.

Judging from the surrounding environment, they should have entered the swamp that Carmen mentioned.

He met many witches along the way, but Lin Yi discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, not all black witches would show hostility towards witch hunters.

Among the witches that they met by chance, most of them would turn around and leave after seeing the two carriages. As for this kind of witches, the Sunset Red Team did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but chose to go their own way and live in peace.

Su Xiao stepped forward and untied the noose tied to the three Dokens in front of the carriage. The three Dokens that were untied looked at Su Xiao blankly, with a bit of confusion in their eyes.

"Wang."

Bubuwang called out to the three Dokens, and the three cute Dokens immediately turned their gazes towards Bubuwang.

“Woof, woof, woof…”

After Bubuwang called out several times, the three Dokens seemed to understand something and turned around and ran out of the swamp.

From now on, they no longer need to pull the carts.

After entering the swamp, what appears before your eyes are patches of emerald green grass, and near the grass there are puddles of various shapes.

These puddles are connected to each other and have varying depths.

When your feet step on the soft grass, the mud and water on the edge of the grass will splash far away.

The swamp is vast and full of dangers.

This kind of swamp is not like ordinary mud. When people step on it, they will not be slowly swallowed up, but will most likely disappear without a trace in an instant.

Mud and water are completely different. Even if you are a good swimmer, you will not be able to survive by swimming in such thick mud.

A group of people lined up in a row. The drunkard in front had a rope tied around his waist. If he fell into the swamp, the blood bear behind him would pull him out as quickly as possible.

For ordinary people, this wetland swamp is almost an insurmountable chasm, and crossing it is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

But for this team of experienced witch hunters, this situation is just a piece of cake and there is nothing to be afraid of.

The group moved quite fast in the swamp. By dusk, a large piece of dry land appeared in front of them, which meant that they were about to get out of the swamp.

Not long after walking forward, a steep cliff suddenly appeared before their eyes, blocking their way.

Seeing the cliff, Carmen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said, "We have arrived at the Gate of Dawn."

The so-called Gate of Dawn is actually a strip of sky formed between mountains.

The entrance to the Line of Sky looks like a huge arch, which is why it is named the "Gate of Dawn".

"The territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Moi family is oval-shaped. In the past few years, we have tried all other possible entrances to that area except the Gate of Dawn. Let's go. It is unlikely that the witches of the Moi family will be stationed at the Gate of Dawn all year round."

"and many more."

Su Xiao patted Bubu Wang's back. Bubu blended into the environment and ran quickly into the Gate of Dawn.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao received information from Bubuwang.

Su Xiao put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"Be prepared to fight your way out."

"Hmm?" When Lin Yi heard Su Xiao's words, he immediately released his perception and explored the surroundings.

On the top of the mountain, there were densely packed figures of witches. The scene was enough to make people feel nervous just by looking at it.

"Are we exposed?"

"If the more than one hundred witches in Dawn's Gate are not here to have a party, then they are exposed."

"The prophecy witch..." Lin Yi understood that they might have encountered an extremely tricky situation this time. A prophecy witch had noticed their whereabouts in advance, which put them in such a passive situation.

On the mountain wall inside the Gate of Dawn, Bubu Wang was squatting quietly beside a dozen witches.

It put its dog face in front of a young girl, as if it was observing something.

Suddenly, Bubuwang took the initiative to separate himself from the environment.

One can imagine how nervous the girl would be as she was lying in ambush and preparing to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, especially since the enemy was already outside the Gate of Dawn.

A dog's face suddenly appeared in front of the girl's eyes. Her body trembled violently and she almost threw the iconic witch hat on her head off.

"ah!"

The girl screamed, and Bubuwang disappeared from her sight again, her screams echoing.

At this moment, the originally quiet narrow gap was even quieter, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly. Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the screaming girl.

"I said, there really was a dog here just now. Do you believe it?"

The girl realized what a stupid thing she had done. The enemy was about to fall into an ambush, and by making such a fuss, she was simply tipping off the enemy.

The scream in the narrow gap was not only heard by the witches, but also by Carmen and others outside the Gate of Dawn.

The old men looked at each other and roughly guessed what was going on.

The possibility of there being a traitor in the team is quite low.

Since there is no traitor, then there is only one possibility left, that is, a prophecy witch has noticed their whereabouts. (End of this chapter)
