Ryan's Sword

Chapter 229 No.40 Late Night Raid in Eight Acts
The adventurers' carnival lasted until midnight at the latest, and no one realized what had changed around them.It wasn't until Tam woke up Ian, who was well rested, that the other camps slowly fell silent.

The night wind howled, and as time passed, patches of dark clouds floated from nowhere, slowly occupying the entire night sky.A new moon quietly disappeared behind the clouds, and the hazy moonlight became increasingly dim.

The Westville Plain where Lewisburg is located is generally flat, with almost no changes in terrain such as mountains and valleys. Therefore, the wind in the wilderness intensified, and even the campfire placed in the leeward side was blown wildly.

Relying on the darkness that the campfire was still struggling to dispel, Ian easily incorporated the surrounding environment within tens of meters into his perception.From the beginning of the shift change, he has been paying attention to the small map in the field of vision from the corner of his sight, but the radar detection function in it has not shown the light point representing the hostile unit.

Ian did not relax his vigilance, and his intuition told him that there were indeed a considerable number of malicious groups in the depths of the darkness, but they kept restraining themselves and did not attack the adventurers.

Enemies exist beyond one's own limit perception distance, and only by using shadow vision can one get a glimpse of them.

Adding a few dead branches to the campfire, there was a "crackling" burning sound after a while. Ian stared at the slightly rising fire, but his heart was calm and peaceful.

It is not bad news that potential enemies did not attack immediately.Standing still is to seize the moment when the adventurers are least vigilant, which in turn shows that they do not have the strength of crushing level.

Including Ian and his party, there are a total of six or seven adventure teams who chose to stay and camp, and all of them have the strength above the iron level. The number of adventurers in all teams is already considerable. Can form a local combat advantage.

It is not easy to eat up this large group of adventurers, and it is no wonder that the hidden enemies are so cautious.

Ian reckoned that the enemy might not have so many concerns when dealing with those adventure teams that traveled overnight. As long as the ambush circle was set in advance, it would be difficult for the single adventure team to escape from the deep encirclement.

At this time, most adventurers have just rested, and if the enemy wants to attack, they will choose the time before dawn when they sleep the most.Thinking of this, Ian simply stopped sitting and waiting, but lowered his eyes and closed his eyes to rest.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon came to two or three o'clock in the morning.Several campfires burned out the firewood and gradually went out. Although there were night watchers in the other camps, the natural operation of the body clock brought them almost to the most exhausted time of the day.

Gennat is an iron rank rogue professional, since he joined the Venomous Bee squad, he has been serving as a scout.This time rushing to participate in the bounty mission issued by the military, the captain temporarily changed his decision to travel overnight and set up camp near several teams that also chose to stay.

It is true that the physique of professionals is far superior to that of ordinary people, but if they can enjoy a sumptuous dinner after dark and sleep soundly until dawn instead of smearing and traveling in the wilderness, everyone will make the right choice.

Including Gennat, the team members applauded the captain's wise decision with both hands. Among them, the ax warrior Josue, who had been a cook for a while, was the most hardworking. A sumptuous dinner.

This guy was a little timid when he went to the battlefield, but his cooking skills are really good.

Adding a few sticks of dry wood to the campfire, Gennat glanced at the gnawed meaty bones at his feet, and couldn't help but recall the crispy barbecued meat he ate before.

For him, being on duty at night has long been a habit, and the "Arranging Trap (D)" in the thief professional skill system makes him very handy in making temporary traps.

As usual, he arranged a few simple trigger warning devices in places close to the wilderness with thin wires, stones and other ordinary materials, and then retreated to the side of the campfire, leaning on the shelter formed by his teammates' tents to fight. Snooze—this place is less than a day away from the southern city of Lewisburg. The camp was built on the side of the road, surrounded by a wilderness. He couldn't think of any danger that would happen.

Gennat, who was gradually relaxing, did not realize that sometimes empiricism can kill people.Just as the eyelids were slowly closing, a rustling sound of movement spread from the darkness behind the camp.

Galala.

"Ok?"

The sound of falling and rolling stones in the early warning trap came suddenly, but Gennat, who was eroded by sleepiness, didn't react immediately.He frowned subconsciously, turned his head to listen to the past, and fell into a chaotic consciousness, still thinking about the source of the sound.

After this moment of hesitation, the originally subtle sound of rubbing and dragging around suddenly became dense and clear as if receiving a certain signal, rushing towards the camp of the Venomous Bee team like a tide.

"what!!"

The wailing screams resounded through the night sky, and Ian suddenly opened his eyes, and heard the camp in the distance quickly making noise.

"What's going on? Ah... what the hell is this!"

"Enemy attack!"

The silence in the wilderness was instantly broken, and the surprised adventurers had already fought the attackers.

Withdrawing the perception of looking elsewhere, the small map in Ian's vision seemed to be refreshed suddenly, and dense blood-red spots appeared.

"There are so many? But the density is not like a beast..."

Before he had time to think about it, Ian's expression remained unchanged, his fingertips touched the long sword in his hand, and he stood up all of a sudden.

At this time, the teammates behind him were also woken up by the surrounding noise, and Randolph, who had already slept for a while, opened the curtain of the tent and walked out, asking in surprise, "Captain, what's going on? "

"Ready to fight."

Ian said without looking back.

Before the words fell, a large dense black shadow appeared in Ian's line of sight and in the peripheral area illuminated by the firelight.Seeing this scalp-numbing scene, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the next moment he raised his long sword decisively, the fighting spirit around his body rose and fell like a flame, and he cut a crescent-shaped sword that tore through the air.

The sword qi that pierced through the air instantly hit a group of shaking black shadows and exploded. Immediately, black shadows that looked like severed limbs were thrown out, and after hitting the ground, they still persevered in the direction where Ian and the others were. crawled over.

"snake!!"
