I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 977

In the north of the Kingdom of Solons, in a hidden forest.

There are many scattered villages with no fixed affiliation. These villages have existed here for so many years without the protection of knights or adventurers.

Travelers rarely pass by here, and even if they come here, they rarely come into contact with the village, because ordinary people who come here will notice that this forest always exudes a strange atmosphere, and there is an indescribable discomfort.

The villagers in the village are doing farm work diligently, taking care of the farmland and the animals at the same time. At first glance, it is a harmonious pastoral scenery.

But if there are normal people nearby who observe carefully, they will find that although these villagers have been working, they have no intention of communicating with others verbally.

With their mouths closed and their heads down, they work silently as if they have no interest in other things. The whole village lacks the vitality it should have.

There are not even children. Looking around, there are only adults, and there are not even a few elderly people.

At night, strange noises often come from under the village. Sometimes it sounds like tentacles or sticky liquids wriggling, sometimes there are even human screams, and even worse, there are sounds of flesh and bones being chewed and crushed by some giant.

It is such a suspicious and weird existence, the future hope of this world, the killer of the devil, the girl known as the hero is lurking nearby.

The girl was hiding alone in the bushes. A closer look showed that there was a deep scratch on her abdomen. The contaminated black blood kept flowing out of the wound, staining the cloth used to stop the bleeding black.

"Damn it."

The hero, Elena, couldn't help cursing because of the pain. She finally escaped from death, but now she dared not move at all.

The reason why she appeared here was because of the instructions issued by the King of Sorens, asking her to explore the forest in the north and try to find out the real reason why people have been missing in the north recently.

Very early on, there were often cases of disappearances in the forest in the north. Some traveling merchants who wanted to travel far away, some adventurers who wanted to find new types of monsters, and people who wanted to explore the forest in the north for various reasons often disappeared in this strange forest.

At first, the Kingdom of Solons didn't care, thinking that there were more monsters in the forest and it was dangerous, and passers-by were easily attacked by monsters.

But until recently, there have been more and more missing cases, and there are even signs of development in the direction of the Kingdom of Solons.

During this period, a bloody tragedy occurred in a village in the north belonging to the Kingdom of Solons. The villagers in the village disappeared overnight, and the whole village was left with only traces of fighting and struggling, and the village was full of blood.

As soon as this incident happened, it instantly attracted the attention of the Kingdom of Solons, and they immediately wanted to send people to investigate.

As a powerful warrior, Elena's team became the priority of everyone.

After all, the current heroes are still immature, with strength but no experience in facing danger, so it is necessary for the heroes to let Elena go to more dangerous places to train.

So Elena took her companions deep into the forest, trying to find the secret of the disappearance, but this happened half a month ago, which was the time period when Elena just solved the crisis of the Duke's Mansion.

"Damn... I'm trapped here for so long when the situation on Vivi's side is still unclear."

Covering her painful and cold body, Elena gritted her teeth and said unwillingly.

She didn't want to participate in this operation at first. After all, according to the note left by the missing Vivi, the other party might have left with Sofia, and might even have encountered some danger.

As a result, she was forced to be sent here by the Kingdom of Sorens before she had time to explore the situation. But she couldn't refuse. As a hero, she needed to make certain achievements, otherwise she would be sorry for everything the Kingdom of Sorens had done for her.

However, before carrying out the mission, Elena sent someone to report the situation to Elena in the Principality. She could only hope that the messenger could find Elena as soon as possible and let Elena find Vivi's location quickly.

However, what Elena didn't know was that Elena had long been away from the Principality and had even stayed in the Empire for a while.

Back to Elena, she originally came with Elena and the others. The members of the brave team who stayed in the Kingdom of Solons went out directly to complete this mission.

But in the end, not long after entering the forest, everyone encountered a powerful monster.The werewolf monster attacked the werewolf monster. It was a humanoid creature that looked like a werewolf.

It was covered with black and hard hair, with sharp claws and a huge body. It moved like a giant Gram.

The brave team fought with it, and the battle was extremely difficult. The attacks of the people could not hurt the werewolf monster at all. Elena was even pierced through the abdomen by the claws of the other party because of her carelessness.

Elena, who was in pain, took the opportunity to stab the holy sword into the other party's body. It also felt extremely painful and immediately ran with Elena. It broke into a village and the werewolf fainted due to excessive blood loss.

But Elena was also seriously injured and lost her companions.

The good news is that she is now in a village and can seek help from the villagers near the village, but the bad news is that the villagers in this village are not good people. They seem to be controlled by something like zombies. They immediately attacked the injured Elena after receiving some signal.

This scene reminded Elena of the riot she had seen at Freya College. The teachers and students who were manipulated were the same as the villagers, except that the villagers were manipulated to a deeper degree and could not be rescued.

They seemed to be ordinary villagers, and it seemed that even if they were manipulated, there would be no fighting. But when Elena actually fought with them, she found that the power they had exploded was much greater than she had imagined.

The farm tools used for farm work were turned into weapons that could kill people. Elena, who was no match for the four hands, could only run all the way despite the pain.

When she came to her senses, she fled the village and ran in one direction. When she ran out of strength, she arrived here, which was the location of another village.

But with the experience of being attacked last time, Elena became more cautious and did not directly show up to ask for help. Instead, she observed the status of these villagers. As a result, she found that these villagers gave the same feeling as the villagers in the previous village.
