Fang Qiuling's voice stopped abruptly, and his gaze quickly changed from initial surprise to consternation.

I have seen similar scenes more than once in novels before. The protagonist and his friends go up the mountain to chop wood or hunt, and when they set out in the morning, the village is still calm and peaceful, and when they return in the evening, it is deserted - houses on fire, corpses strewn and scattered, and enemies are gradually disappearing......

Such a plot arrangement is undoubtedly a reason to put the protagonist on stage, and revenge is also an integral part of the development of the plot. But a novel is just a novel, and a story is always just a story. There are many ways to express the sadness and anger of the protagonist through the expression of words, the body language and voice of the animation, but it is difficult to make it immersive.

And at this moment, Fang Qiuling, who was gradually chilling in his heart, seemed to be able to understand the sadness and anger of the protagonists.

Lily had already walked into the house without saying a word. She pulled out the long sword at her waist, and her eyes scanned back and forth around the room like electricity.

"There was no sign of a fight." The first to speak was her sister Yuna, "There was no sign of a knock or damage to the gate. ”

Sister Yuya also spoke: "There is no trace of a large number of people moving around, and there is no trace of soil turning. ”

"There is no blood around......"

"There are no signs of destruction of the house......"

Yuya's ability is now quite powerful.

"Eliza, did they give up on this place?"

Lily moves faster. She went straight up to the second floor and walked around the house, but still found nothing.

The house was empty, not to mention the pots and pans that had been piled up next to the fire, and even the large wooden tables and long wooden chairs were gone. It's as if there was nothing in the first place.

"It's possible." From the initial shock to panic, until now gradually calming down, Fang Qiuling quickly adjusted his mentality, and his eyes became sharper little by little, "But it's still freezing now, where can they go?" It's a barren mountain and an old forest, and there's nowhere to hide......"

Sister Yuna blinked, turned and gestured to the position behind her, which, judging by the direction she was pointing, should be the entrance to the Agarwar Valley. Then I heard her say, "That direction...... About two hundred meters or so, there are two rows of footprints on the snow. The soles of the feet are relatively large, and they are presumed to be adult men. The direction is towards the outside of the village. ”

Sister Yuya suddenly frowned: "Something is approaching!" So fast! I can only catch one shadow! ”

"I saw it too...... So flexible! ”

Fang Qiuling immediately decided: "Back to back!" ”

He immediately drew his sword from his waist and pulled a shield from his storage bag. Lily also immediately rushed over silently, a slight magic fluctuation flashed, and a shield quietly appeared in her hand.

Fang Qiuling and Lily went one after the other, protecting the twins in the middle.

Yuna and Yuya closed their eyes at the same time, trying to catch the incoming sound. In the space of the sisters' minds, a figure that is not fast but extremely agile flashes left and right, constantly jumping from one shadow to another. If it weren't for the extremely shallow footprints on the snow, both of them would have thought it was their own delusion.

This situation was unprecedented, and Yuna and Yuya's brows furrowed tightly at the same time. In telepathic resonance, they worked together to track the trajectory of their target, but to no avail, only to make sure that the shadows were getting closer and closer......

The invincible "voyeur magic technique" actually met an opponent as soon as Elune arrived, which made Yuya a little unable to laugh.

- Close! It's close!

The twins held their breath, each holding out a hand, counting down on their fingers.

- Three!

- Two!

- One!

Suddenly, a small shadow sprang out of their shadows. The two daggers stabbed the twins in the back of the heart and throat respectively on the left and the right like poisonous snakes spitting letters.

If you don't know it, it's a deadly move. But Fang Qiuling and Lily had already taken precautions, and the shields in their hands were like eyes, and they slid slightly sideways to block the dagger's attack route.

There was a soft sound of "tuk", as if there was a slight knock on the door, and the front of the dagger pierced the shield.

As if he had discovered that the sneak attack had missed, the dwarf shadow retreated with the help of his strength, and disappeared in a flash. But the next moment, a shadow appeared behind Fang Qiuling, and the two daggers attacked the back waist and back of the heart respectively.

Fang Qiuling, who was engrossed, immediately turned around and slashed. The longsword picked out one dagger, and then separated another dagger one after the other. The sword and dagger collided with each other, and a series of crisp metal clashes were like pleasant notes.

The dwarf shadow realized that it was not cheap, and then slid sideways, turned and disappeared again.

This technique of constantly disappearing into the shadows and then raiding from the shadows was no stranger to Fang Qiuling, and there was even a period of time when he often trained with the owner of the technique. A name immediately popped up in my mind.

But before he could speak, the dagger struck from behind him again.

Fang Qiuling turned around slightly depressed, and the shield in his left hand pressed down, separating the two daggers at the same time. At the same time shouted:

"Shino!"

The dwarf shadow was visibly stunned, but it still slipped into the shadows. A moment later, a small hooded head poked out of the damaged window.

White hair, red pupils, delicate but expressionless little face - sure enough, it's Shino!

Perhaps it was the difference between the decorations on his body and when he left, Fang Qiuling was wearing a long navy blue windbreaker at the moment, and Shino tilted his head sideways for a while before nodding slightly.

I saw her disappear with a "swoop", and then appeared in front of Fang Qiuling in a kneeling posture.

"My lord, you're back......"

Shino kept his head down, unable to see her expression. However, Fang Qiuling easily understood her body language.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......

“…… Shino, Huh...... It scared me a lot. Lily breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, I should have thought of that. ”

The shadow of the thought was gone, replaced by a short girl, and Yuna and Yuya opened their eyes in unison, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of just adding a dagger is quite terrifying. Although he has also been trained in dagger fighting skills, there is no mention of what to do if someone suddenly emerges from the shadows! It really scared the two of them a lot.

Now the threat is lifted, but the necessary "retaliation" cannot be less! Yuya didn't stop her ability, but directly put the "voyeur magic skill" on the short girl to "scan" in an all-round way!

- Let me be healthy, let me be healthy. I'm going to pull out all your measurements!

I don't know if I don't look at it, but I don't know if I look at it...... Yuya was shocked.

- It's a little taller than the rabbits, but it's so good! Especially, especially......

My sister's gaze dropped slightly, and she saw her toes unsurprisingly. This made her more or less lost.

"Shino, long time no see." Fang Qiuling immediately stretched out his hand to help Shino up, "What's wrong here, in the village?" ”

Lily also hurriedly asked, "What about everyone?" Where have they gone? Mr. Hadner, and Pastor Eddard, what about them? ”

Shino's little face can be seen with obvious embarrassment and joy to meet again, as well as a strong attachment. There were no negative emotions such as sadness and anger at all, which made Fang Qiuling and Lily nervous but also slightly relieved.

Something must have happened to the village, but it shouldn't be a big deal, at least there should be no loss in terms of personnel. And as long as there is no loss of personnel, anything outside the body will be gone.

"My lord, everyone is okay......"

Shino stepped back from his hood. The first to show were the ears that were erected, followed by the long white hair.

Her long hair, as white as fresh snow, slipped out of her hood and immediately attracted the attention of the twins - so beautiful!

After some communication, the group quickly learned about the situation in the village.

On the third day after Fang Qiuling and Lily left, Grand Elder Rune, who had been confused all year round, suddenly had a convulsion. That's right, it's a convulsion, the kind that really has a convulsion. Grand Elder Rune was old and suffering from old cold legs, which would get sick every time a storm or snow fell. According to his personal experience, the worse the pain, the greater the upcoming snowstorm - this is the experience accumulated over decades! Now the pain in Lao Han's leg is enough to make him faint directly from the wind, and the upcoming wind and snow will undoubtedly be an unprecedented violent blizzard!

Pastor Ed immediately confirmed. As a priest serving Notos, the god of wind, he has been warned by the gods that a sudden snowstorm will soon sweep across the Mist Lake region, and the Agarwal Valley will face an unprecedented white plague!

The houses built by the cats in the valley are made of logs as the main material, and they are built one by one. The wooden houses built in this way are very sturdy, and in previous years there were people who froze to death because of the cold, but there were never people who were crushed to death because of the collapse of the wooden houses. The wooden house is definitely a bargain in terms of "durability".

However, because the house is made of logs, it is impossible to fit the logs tightly, so the cold wind carries snowflakes from the gaps between the logs and the logs to drill into the house one by one. In the beginning, the cat charms also worked together, trying to seal the gaps in the logs with dirt. But it didn't take long to realize that their blockade was completely pointless. The wooden house is completely leaking on all sides, and no matter how much you block it, you can't block it!

In order to escape the wind and snow, the cat charms in the village had to pack up their belongings and go to a cave in the north of the valley to escape the wind and snow.

The day after entering the cave, a snowstorm that had never been seen before swept through the valley. The cats who had taken refuge in the cave looked at each other. And the tribesmen of other villages who fled in the wind and snow afterwards left the cat charms silent.

Speaking of the cave where he was hiding from the wind and snow, Fang Qiuling immediately nodded, he knew this place.

In the game, this cave is a sacred place for the Agarwal Cat Charms. Except for a few players who sneak in to visit with their high stealth ability, even if they brush their prestige to worship, the cat charms will still not allow players to enter.

However, players who sneaked in also said that there was nothing in the cave except for a waterhole. The water flowing from the waterhole is of high quality, and it is quite good for both cooking and alchemy. But after entering the cave, just carry a few buckets of water home, isn't it idle to panic. The player enters the cave mainly for possible hidden missions, but after going around in circles, the infiltrators are very disappointed.

Players who are interested in the setting of the story have not been able to find this setting information, only to learn that the cave is the residence of the first cat charms to arrive in the Agarwal Valley, and nothing else.
