Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 147 146: [Forgotten Garden] Fog
Sean, Elijah, Charles, Andrea and Laurentius took the lead in this "grave digging journey".

Before they left, Angie specifically told Sean and Elijah, "Don't be brave when you encounter things, the most important thing is to come back alive."

The two of them smiled and agreed, and waved goodbye to Anji, but the moment they turned around and walked out of the room, the smiles on their faces were instantly replaced by solemnity.

Sean wasn't against digging graves.This is a key action that affects whether they can get out alive. Even if he is asked to carry the dead back one by one for a dance party, he will do it, let alone just steal a coffin.

But such a crucial action, Anji handed it over to him and the other two strangers with confidence.

Elijah and Charles have the important task of distracting the Night's Watch.They will leave the team when they arrive at the cemetery, and the digging of the coffin will still be done by Sean and Weldian.

However, these two new companions were enemies not long ago. Even though they obeyed the arrangement on the surface, they might be thinking of finding a time to escape at any time in their hearts.

Thinking of this, the burden in Sean's heart became heavier.

He held the ax tightly in his hand, and followed behind the two men, not daring to lose his mind for a moment.

Elijah had the same concerns.It's just that he was more obvious, walking directly beside Lauren, staring at him the whole time, and this undisguised hostility also made Lauren's face ugly.

However, his face is still swollen and high, so no one cares about the emotions on his colorful face.

There was silence all around.

The pale moonlight passed through the gaps between the trees and sprinkled on these night walkers, illuminating their way forward.

This is the road on the westernmost side of the village.They deliberately chose this path that is most remote. Although it will take a little more time, they can avoid encountering the night watchmen patrolling the village to the greatest extent.

Sean knew the way.There should have been a five or six-minute walk from the forest here, and he had passed by here during the day.

But now, this road is surrounded by countless tall trees, and most of the once clear dirt path is covered by weeds and shrubs, as if this place was originally a part of the forest.

The village is being quietly eroded by the forest.

Everyone knows this, but they don't know what it means.They maintained a strange and tacit silence, and no one took the initiative to speak.

A strange rustling sound suddenly came from deep in the forest.

In the forest that was so quiet that there seemed to be no living things, this kind of movement was particularly abnormal.

Everyone stopped in their tracks immediately, their expressions paled.

Sand, rustle.

After they stopped, the eerie rustling became rhythmic.It is similar to the sound of small animals scurrying around in the weeds, and it keeps coming from all corners around, as if they are not in the forest, but have strayed into the mouse's nest.

At this moment, the five people who were not in the same mind chose to cooperate in unison.They gathered with their backs against each other, forming a "consistent outward" defensive formation. Those with weapons held their weapons, while those without weapons clenched their fists, leaned down slightly, and scanned their surroundings vigilantly.

In this dim forest, there are many dark corners that cannot be seen.They could clearly feel that their heartbeat was accelerating, but they never saw any suspicious shadows.

Those rustling noises didn't come near them.

They just lingered around them like ghosts, neither getting closer nor getting farther away, and seemed to form an invisible encirclement.

Faced with this phenomenon that cannot be explained by common sense, everyone was so nervous that their bodies tensed up, but at this moment, an unusually bright light suddenly radiated from between them.

It's Elijah.He took out the holy lamp in his arms, trying to illuminate the dark corners where enemies might be hidden.

But his sudden action made everyone, even his own heart tremble——

The forest disappeared.

From the moment the candle was lit, the surrounding dark forest instantly turned into a thick sea of ​​white mist.

They are surging, boundless, and even the night sky is gone, as if this is a white space isolated from the world.

But at the same time, the forest soil covered with fallen leaves was still under their feet, and the atmosphere around them was lit by candlelight at night, and this "atmosphere" was abruptly broken in the fog less than half a meter away from them .

The yellow halo of the holy lamp enveloped them, bringing with it a sultry feeling typical of summer nights.

At this point, the five people reacted belatedly: the cool feeling they have been having since entering the forest is not normal.

"Cool forest summer night" is just an illusion.Although they don't know what this cool feeling represents, they can also blindly guess that it is something bad, and...

The holy lamp in Elijah's hand seemed to protect them to some extent.

Realizing this, everyone involuntarily leaned towards Elijah, and at the same time saw Elijah asked Lauren with a gloomy face:

"Have you ever encountered such a situation?"

"Of course not. We never knew this lamp could illuminate such a ghostly thing! Is this the holy lamp of the church?"

Lauren deliberately lowered her voice.He was also very shocked by this, and even squinted his only remaining eye, trying to tell if there was something hidden in the white mist.

"Well... I'm sorry to disturb you at this time," Charles, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly, his eyes fixed on the front, "I seemed to see something jumping through the fog just now."

Everyone froze suddenly.They stopped talking, and kept scanning all the places they could see, but suddenly they heard Elijah say something:

"I'm going to find the master, you can do whatever you want."

"???"

This sentence made the eyes of the four people present widen in shock.They even forgot to guard against the white mist in front of them, and looked at Elijah in astonishment, only to find that Elijah had turned and walked to the right.

"I'll go with you," Sean immediately reacted, and walked quickly to his side, "Hurry up, do you know where the farm is?"

"Wait a moment!"

Lauren and Andrea hurried forward to stop them, the former looked at Elijah, and said persuasion:

"I know you are worried about that girl, but these white mist are just weird, haven't they posed any threat to us yet?"

"If these white mist are what the church calls the evil breath, without the protection of the holy lamp, the owner will be in danger."

Elijah spoke hastily, feeling more and more irritable, and winked at Sean.

"It's just the church's nonsense." Seeing that Sean seemed to be on his side, Lauren became even more nervous. "Compared to these, we should get the silver coffin earlier. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be." -"

But before he finished speaking, Elijah made a move without warning, and Lauren suddenly pushed him out.

Originally, Lauren just staggered back a step, but before his heel hit the ground, Elijah kicked him in the stomach.

"Elia!"

He couldn't help roaring, his body lost his balance, and he was kicked into the fog by the opponent.

At this moment, Elijah and the others disappeared into the thick fog ahead.

Lauren immediately stabilized her body and rushed forward a few steps.He wanted to return to the halo quickly, and also wanted to settle the score with Elijah, but he froze in place for a second——

Elijah and the others who were supposed to be standing there have disappeared.

There was nothing but whiteness around.He was startled, and ran a few steps forward, but he still couldn't see any candlelight, nor did he see any figure.

Everything has disappeared, whether it is the ancient trees that block the sky, or the soil and fallen leaves on the ground, they are all replaced by these strange white mist.

An unprecedented sense of fear enveloped his heart, and he felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help shivering, but the chill had already spread to all parts of his body in that instant.

It turned out that the chill just now did not come from the bottom of my heart, but was real.

The surrounding temperature was dropping rapidly. At this moment, he even felt that he was standing in a winter blizzard, and the angry roar of the winter wind that he was familiar with seemed to come from his ears.

He was so cold that his teeth chattered, and he wanted to leave here quickly, but his body couldn't move at all, and at the same time, he heard a burst of ethereal laughter.

"Hehehe..."

The laughter came from nowhere, and it just floated around him like this, as if mocking him or teasing him.

Her neck was so stiff that she couldn't turn it, Lauren could only look down at the ground, only to realize that her feet were covered with thick and hard ice, and these ice were rapidly spreading all over her body.

But he was already so cold that he was about to lose consciousness, so he couldn't notice these abnormalities in the first place.

Mind is being frozen.Just as he was dying, a warm hand grabbed him.

It came from the thick fog on Lauren's side and pulled him back vigorously, but the thick fog firmly blocked the owner of the hand, making it impossible for him to tell who it was.

Lauren turned his eyes slowly, looked at the hand, and saw a familiar burn mark——

It's Andrea.
