44 Chapter 44
The smell of blood gradually pervaded. In the misty forest shrouded in the night, such a smell of blood was a fatal temptation to the magical beasts.
Dick hid on the tree motionlessly as if he had integrated with the whole tree.
The trees shook for a while, and soon the magical beasts were attracted. They tussled with each other, fighting for the fresh meat, or simply wanting to prey on a fresher prey.
The whole woods suddenly turned into a bloody battlefield. The smell of blood rushed to Dick's head, which made him frown.
Didn't the dark castle appear tonight? How could he even refuse so many magical beasts but he didn't see the evil apes that night?
Just as Dick was confused, a black figure suddenly rushed up the back of a magical beast, which was fighting. The magical beast was stunned for a moment and before it could react, its head had been pulled off violently.
The brains fell on the ground, looking strange and disgusting.
The expression on the face of that magical beast, who was fighting against this magical beast, was extremely terrified. Its limbs suddenly bounced up from the ground and dragged its body to run far away. However, in front of it, another black shadow also raised its arms.
A heavy force slammed into the face of the magical beast. With a crackling sound, the head of the magical beast was smashed into meat pies, and now even the brains and blood were mixed.
Dick sat on a tree. Although he felt sick at the sight of the bloody scene, he was still very excited. He knew that most of the night's waiting was not in vain. He finally waited for the protagonist tonight!
It was the evil ape Dick had been waiting for most of the night that killed the two magical beasts! It was also the real target he tempted tonight!
The two evil apes didn't find Dick hiding in the tree. They just looked at each other, hammered their chests with their arms, and laughed weirdly.
The creepy laughter spread far away in the fog forest. For a moment, even the leaves that were still shaking stopped shaking.
Obviously, the magical beasts that smelled the blood and wanted to come here, stopped after hearing the laughter of the two evil apes.
After the evil apes stopped laughing, they began to tear the fresh magical beast corpses on the ground from left to right, making their fur stained with blood, reflecting an iron-gray light in the moonlight.
Dick quietly moved his stiff hands and feet and slowly slid down the tree trunk.
Although the evil ape sensed something unusual, it only took a glance at it and didn't pay attention to it anymore. Instead, it continued to enjoy the delicious food in front of it. Perhaps in its opinion, no magical beasts dared to provoke them.
Dick's body slid on the grass like a snake.
The strong smell of blood attracted the magical beasts, but it also helped Dick cover the smell on his body.
When the evil ape found him, Dick was less than five meters away from it.
The distance of five meters was only less than a second for Dick to cross. The moment the evil ape saw Dick, it opened its mouth wide, wanting to roar. At the same time, it spurted smoke to Dick.
But its head soared into the sky, leaving only its body without a head in its eyes.
All this happened in a flash. Dick's knife didn't even make a sound. After he killed the evil ape, he quickly lay on the ground and hid his body with the help of weeds.
It was not until now that the evil ape's head fell to the ground with a thump.
The other evil ape, who was enjoying its meal, had never thought of paying attention to the situation here, but at this moment, the unusual sound made it alert. It turned its head quickly, trying to search for its companion with its eyes.
But it was too late to look back. It could only see its companion's headless body slowly lying on the ground.
A hoarse roar burst out from its mouth. It threw away the piece of meat in its hand and quickly ran to its companion, trying to find its companion's head, or it wanted to wake up its companion that had lost its head.
It was beyond Dick's expectation that the evil ape was so anxious. But fortunately, the evil ape didn't notice that Dick was not far away from it.
How could such a good thing come to him!
Dick had been worried that he couldn't kill the two evil apes at the same time, he thought the second one would run away as soon as the first one was killed. After all, there was still a long distance between the two evil apes.
But now, since the evil ape was in front of him, he would not let go of such a perfect opportunity.
Bright blade light exploded from the side of the evil ape. The devil ape with its companion in its arms let out a hoarse roar. Before it could turn its body, it was cut in half by the blade of the moonlight machete.
Dick felt that it was a little unrealistic to do that so easily, but the body of the evil apes on the ground had turned into stones, which meant that he had killed the two evil apes.
Dick took a deep breath and bent over to check. As expected, he found fragments of the magic runes on the bodies of the two evil apes, which were put together with the two fragments Dick had obtained before, and pieces together to the whole magic runes.
"Hint: congratulations for getting the token of entering the dark castle: the dark runes. With this token, you can enter and exit the dark castle at will, but only when the dark castle exists."
"The dark castle appears at night and disappears in the daytime. If it doesn't appear, you can't enter it. If you don't come out when it disappears, you can only leave when the next time it appears."
"The dark castle is an extremely dangerous place, connecting all the Green-Hand Villages in the district. With the dark token, one could freely travel back and forth."
Hiss.
Dick took a deep breath as he looked at the information on the screen.
He had thought that the dark castle was just a mysterious place and there might be treasures inside, but he didn't expect that it could connect all the Green-Hand Villages in the district.
That was to say, in one district, only one dark castle could appear, and everyone with the dark runes could freely come in and out!
It seemed that he needed to speed up. If he went too late, the treasures in the dark castle would be taken away by other people of other Green-Hand Villages.
