Two cavalry guards in armor were standing in front of the castle, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

Li Ang pulled Jon, hid behind the bushes behind the castle, poked his head out, and looked at the castle.

The outer walls of the castle are mottled and dilapidated, and the walls are covered with cracks like knives and axes. It seems that it has a long history.

Moreover, the outer skin of the castle has fallen off completely, exposing the surface of the rock.

The gate of the castle was opened, and wisps of smoke and dust drifted away, indicating that the owner had just gone out for a walk not long ago.

"Who built this castle?" Li Ang asked in a low voice.

"It's Carl Fick."

Jon lowered his voice and introduced: "As far as I know, he is a traditional Wandering Xia. When he was young, he helped the mercenary group hunt and took root in the north of the Sauron Mountains.

This guy is hot-tempered and belligerent, always impulsive and reckless, and likes to compete with others for prey, but he is a kind and enthusiastic person with a strong sense of responsibility.

If you want to find him, you probably have to go deep in the desert. "

Li Ang nodded, "In that case, let's go."

"good."

Jon agreed, took two steps forward, turned his head suddenly, and said to Li Ang, "By the way, I heard before that you are an alchemist."

"yes."

"You are amazing... you can actually refine magic items!"

There was admiration in her eyes, and she continued, "I want to be an alchemist too! I learned a lot of new things from the book!"

"oh?"

Li Ang glanced at her with interest, and then teased, "Unfortunately, alchemy requires professional skills. Without Talent, even if you study for a few hundred years, you may not be able to succeed."

"I'm not afraid of suffering!"

Jon said eagerly, "As long as I can become an alchemist..."

"Hmm~"

Li Ang interrupted with a smile: "Alchemy is not cooking. It not only requires hard work, but also has enough wisdom, courage and wealth."

"..." Jon was speechless.

After a while, Li Ang led Jon, left the abandoned castle, and walked deeper into the Sauron Mountains along the desolate wilderness.

The road is not far away. After crossing a long and narrow canyon, there is an endless hilly area ahead.

These hills undulate continuously, forming a huge basin, with gentle terrain, green grass, and full of vitality.

"Is this the core part of the Sauron Mountains?"

Li Ang slowed down and observed his surroundings.

Under the sunshine, this vast hill is grayish brown, with soft and moist soil and sparse vegetation.

The soil bags of different heights are patchwork, like a honeycomb, forming the topographical structure of the entire basin.

On the edge of the basin, wooden houses and simple sheds stand sporadically. The houses remained largely intact, but lacked protective materials.

The huts and sheds appear to have been weather-beaten, with the heavily painted boards mostly corroded and peeling.

Cobwebs and carcasses of insects and crawlers hung from the tops and beams of the wooden roofs, and there was a disgusting sour smell in the air.

Due to the complex and rugged topography of the basin, there are no shelters, and the line of sight is easily blocked. Therefore, there is no bright sunlight in the basin.

Dark, dank spaces are extremely repulsive.

Li Ang frowned, forcing himself to adapt to the environment here.

In the central area of ​​the basin, a black tower with a height of five meters stands tall. The whole body is cast with a rough and strong alloy, and there are hideous scars all over it, like a sculpture of an ancient wizard.

Next to the tower are two cavalrymen in full armor, holding shields and hammers, and are heavily guarded.

"It looks like this is Carl Fick's castle."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his legs to go around the tower, and continued to search deep into the basin.

At this moment, Jon stretched out his arm in front of him, pointed to the right, and reminded in a low voice, "Be careful, there is danger over there."

"what happened?"

Li Ang followed the prestige, and saw a group of men, women and children wearing animal skin skirts running towards this side quickly, shouting, panicked and pale.

Behind them are dozens of bloody skeletons.

The heads and torsos of these skeletons are evenly distributed, and there are obvious bite marks on the chest, abdomen and neck, and they have obviously been attacked by ferocious beasts.

Behind the skeleton, a dead branch can still be seen vaguely.

"These people... seem to be hunted down by skeletons?"

Li Ang was stunned, and after careful identification, he found that most of these men, women and children were mercenaries, some with weapons on their backs, and some with bows and arrows in their hands.

"I remember that they were alive and well last night."

Jon Dai frowned, and muttered to himself, "Could it be because of us?"

She thought of the few vampires she and Li Ang had killed last night.

Vampires are not pure-bred humans, but a type of half-elf. They are good at casting psychedelic spells. They can manipulate other vampires to work for them, and even directly change the way of thinking of vampires, turning them into puppets.

Logically speaking, vampires would not put Common humans in their eyes.

But... What if they deliberately pretended to be Common people and sneaked into the mercenary team?

or……

After these mercenary members were killed by the undead, the blood in their bodies was absorbed.

After all, vampires are the granddaddy of evil creatures.

Jon's thoughts turned, and he quickly speculated a series of reasons, and the anxiety on his face became more intense.

She turned her head and glanced at Li Ang behind her, trying to ask for his opinion.

However, Li Ang's reaction disappointed her.

Li Ang stared at the running vampire expressionlessly, pondered for a long time, and said calmly, "Jon, stay where you are and don't run around.

I'll join you after I get rid of these troubles. "

Jon froze for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Uh, no, I can be with you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Li Ang jumping up, several meters away.

The next second, two cavalry patrolling on horseback noticed Li Ang, raised their halberds, and stabbed at Li Ang in unison.

Li Ang waved his arms, dodged the halberd attack, and walked around the back of another cavalry in a vigorous posture, bowed left and right, and slammed on the enemy's neck.

Click, click!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the necks of the two cavalrymen tilted to one side, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then swallowed their breath.

"..."

Jon stood there in a daze, watching Li Ang kill two cavalrymen, his heart was filled with turmoil.

How on earth did he do it?

These two cavalrymen have the strength of Tier 3 professionals, even if they don't ride mounts, they are definitely not weak.

However, in front of Li Ang, the two cavalrymen died instantly like paper dolls!

"Roar--"

At the same time, an angry scream erupted from the jungle behind Li Ang.

Li Ang turned his head to look at the sound, his pupils suddenly constricted.
