Chapter 170: From Hope to Despair, Completely Collapsed

Where is everyone?

Where did everyone go?

The fear in Victor’s heart was already boundless. His hands and feet were cold, and his body was trembling non-stop.

Although he was the captain of this team, the prerequisite was that he was a normal person.

When he first came into contact with this scarecrow through his earpiece, he knew that if he went up alone, he would only be courting death.

That was why he gathered all his teammates.

He pulled all his teammates to his side so that the scarecrow’s attention would not only be on him. He might even be able to use this opportunity to escape. Secondly, the more people there were, the safer he would be.

That was the deepest thought in his heart.

But now, his surroundings were empty.

Looking around, other than himself, there were only scarecrows and crows everywhere.

Where were his friends?

There were more than ten of them alive!

Where did they go now?!

Victor’s face was full of despair. He watched as the scarecrows around him closed in on him, sealing off all escape routes.

A few crows would fly down from the sky from time to time and take a piece of flesh from him.

There was nowhere to run!

Dozens of seconds later, the scarecrows around him had already surrounded him.

A few scarecrows lowered their heads and stared at him with their twisted faces. The fear in Victor’s heart rose, and he lay on the ground with tears streaming down his face.

“I found you!”

“Now… you know who I am!”

The voice seemed to come from all directions.

The last line of defense in Victor’s heart completely collapsed at this moment, and he lay on the ground without any breath.

Tsk tsk, this was too predictable.

After Victor lost his breath, countless crows landed on his body.

A few minutes later, the crows dispersed, leaving only a pool of blood.

…

At this moment, the village of Larma was completely shrouded in fear.

The villagers who had originally lived here had been filled with crows flying over their heads because of Flanders’s arrival. Most of them had become food for the crows, and some of them were so scared that they were foaming at the mouth.

There was nothing they could do. They were just ordinary people.

Even the mage team could not protect themselves, let alone them.

Victor had disappeared.

Pleater had noticed it immediately.

Their captain was probably dead.

In their hearts, although their captain was not weak, he was nothing compared to the ferocity in front of them.

After experiencing a short period of panic, as the team’s upper echelon, Pleater was the first to stabilize all the members.

However, it was only on the surface.

In reality, everyone’s hearts were in a mess.

Everyone’s current state of mind was not hoping that they would be able to walk out alive, but only hoping that the next person to die would not be them!

People’s hearts were vicious.

Pleater’s was no exception.

“Just a little more. Just buy me another minute!”

Pleater’s eyes were filled with malice.

He had a strange creature reptile that could leech on his team members and help them find and sense other strange creatures. However, there was one thing that he had never told anyone.

Or rather, it was his trump card.

Reptiles existed in the form of parasites. Other than being able to sense, they could also seize other people’s bodies!

And the current situation was that all the surrounding team members had reptilian clones on them.

In other words, he would be able to control these people’s bodies soon!

“Pleater, do you still have a way?”

A team member beside him with a body full of holes asked.

“Of course I do.”

Pleater’s voice was hoarse. “Just wait a little longer.”

Wait a little longer?

Everyone was puzzled, but they did not ask any more questions until one of their teammates suddenly cried out in shock.

“What’s going on? I lost control of my body!!”

Everyone was shocked.

Then, they saw that this teammate actually stood in front of pleater and helped him block the fatal blow. However, at the same time, this teammate died instantly. A crow pecked at his throat and blood splattered everywhere!

!!

Everyone was shocked.

Was this teammate so selfless?

How was that possible?! They all knew him. That person just now was usually extremely unscrupulous, let alone mention blocking to save someone’s life!

When they saw Pleater’s somewhat cruel smile, they immediately understood.

It was Pleater’s doing!

Everyone’s hearts suddenly shivered.

However, when they just realized it, their bodies did not listen to them anymore. They blocked all kinds of fatal injuries for Pleater. They were using their bodies to open a path for Pleater to live.

“Pleater, you bastard!”

“Damn Pleater, you will go to hell!”

Looking at all the team members blocking in front of him, Pleater’s expression did not change at all.

Until a ray of light passed through the gap between the crows, a trace of expression finally appeared on Pleater’s face.

That was the sunlight!

That was the outside!

They would be able to rush out of the crows soon!

Pleater waved his hand, and the team members under his control immediately rushed forward, using their physical bodies to disperse the crows for him!

Finally, as the gap grew larger, more sunlight seeped in. Pleater’s expression became even crazier, and the originally silent face finally had a trace of life.

“Hahahaha!”

Pleater waved his hand and let the last member charge forward while he followed behind.

Ta ta!

Pritt charged out!

He came to a yellow road.

He knew this road. This was a road outside of Larma village. If he wanted to enter from the outside, he had to pass through this road.

Pleater immediately charged forward, intending to leave this damned place completely.

“I’ve finally come out alive!”

He ran for dozens of meters, and when he saw the huge flock of crows still surrounding Larma village, the smile on his face could not be hidden anymore.

However, when he turned his head back, his expression completely changed.

The smile disappeared, and the color of blood faded.

A scarecrow that was more than two meters tall stood straight in front of him.

His face was almost touching the scarecrow’s face.

Countless cold sweat flowed down.

Pleater directly punched the scarecrow, but it was useless.

The scarecrow was still standing in the same place, its thin and twisted face facing him.

“You lingering ghost!!”

Pleater did not care anymore. He ran as far as he could.

He bypassed the scarecrow and ran along the road.

However, not long after he ran out, he saw a green ray of light shoot out from the scarecrow and connect to his body.

“What is this? !”

Pleater panicked.

He tried all kinds of methods but failed to make the green ray of light disappear, so he simply ignored it.

As long as he ran far enough, he would be able to get rid of this damn thing!

But he was wrong.

He ran out for only a few meters before he was completely powerless.

Pleater, who was originally quite strong, had now become a skinny skeleton with sunken eyes.

By the time he realized his situation, he was already surrounded by scarecrows. Each scarecrow shot out a green ray of light that connected to his body.

“Ahhhhh!!”

Pleater was in despair and broke down.

He had already escaped, but he did not expect that it was the scarecrow who purposely let him escape on purpose. The huge gap between them, coupled with the terrifying scarecrows that kept appearing around him, completely broke the string in his heart!
