Chapter 224 Top Secret Content

As soon as the next day, the mercenaries stood up and entered the dark valley. This time no soldiers came to stop them, and even half of the soldiers along the way could not see them. If the tents around and the smoking campfires still existed, maybe everyone would have thought that the soldiers had retreated last night. Only Yi Ming stared at the tents with some confusion. He opened his mouth to say something to Kufes, but in the end he said nothing.

The Dark Canyon is a very dangerous place.

Unlike the Undead Forest, the Dark Canyon is not completely gone without going back, but even so, there are only a very small number of people who can truly come out of it. However, this cannot stop people from being obsessed with it. As the battlefield during the War of the Demon King, the Dark Canyon is full of the demonic energy of hell, and there are also many hell creatures and plants here. They are excellent things for humans to make potions and magic props. After all, it is impossible for humans to form a tourist group to visit hell for a day trip, so this so-called "hell on earth" has become the best place.

However, interests are also accompanied by risks. The dark canyon is filled with thick magic fog all day long. Many hell creatures are terrible and dangerous. Even if it is just an ordinary snake, it will sometimes make it difficult for mercenaries who have experienced many battles to deal with. But even so, many mercenaries or people with various purposes come here every year and use their lives to gamble with their lives. After all, if you can kill a monster here and bring it out safely, you can get at least a few thousand gold coins. People can do everything for the sake of their interests.

Looking at the entrance of the canyon filled with smoke in front of him, the mercenaries couldn't help but slow down. They looked around with vigilance and held the weapons in their hands. God knows what was hiding in this thick fog.

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Lita suddenly screamed, which made everyone stop immediately, and then turned around and stared at the little magician uneasy. In the public eye, Lita seemed a little nervous, but she still tried to say calmly. "That... Sister Cuffes? Do you need a guide?"

Wizard?

Kufes looked at the little girl magician in front of him strangely. If there was a guide, she would really beg for it. You know, the place of Mingnan Canyon is either unable to go in and out. She doesn't want to go in and out after she comes out. She hasn't found those who have entered Mingnan Canyon. After all, even if they are unwilling to lead the way, the experience of their ability to come back alive is extremely valuable, but those people seem to have unified their caliber. No matter what Kufes said, he would keep silent and stop talking about the matter in Mingnan Canyon.

Now, Lita suddenly talked about the guide, which surprised Kufes.

"Guide? But we are here now..."

"Please wait a moment."

As she said that, Lita seemed to hear something. She gestured to Coofes to pause his words. She listened intently for a moment. Then Lita closed her eyes and began to sing.

The cold and dark wind blew by. The sad hymn appeared from Lita's mouth. The indescribable singing echoed in every corner. It seemed like the illusion of death. The mist surged. The vicissitudes of the air appeared. The faint sound of the collision of armor gradually became clear. The mercenaries took several steps back at the figure walking out of the fog with vigilant eyes.

It was a man, a man wearing white leather armor. His graceful and luxurious appearance showed his extraordinaryness. The long sword hanging around his waist was also unique.

"Hello, adventurers full of courage."

He bowed slightly and saluted to the scared adventurers - no wonder. It is not a normal experience to be able to see a person floating in the air without touching his feet.

"Hello…………"

After all, Kuffith is a mercenary leader, and she hurriedly replied to a mercenary ceremony. Although to be honest, it was the first time in Kuffith's life that a translucent human was returning. After seeing the etiquette of Kuffith, the man in white sighed with interest. "Mercenary ceremony, I haven't seen such a familiar etiquette in a century. But I think I'd better introduce myself first. I am the leader of the Unicorn Mercenary Corps. You can call me Kafka. Since I was buried in this dark valley a hundred years ago, I'm

The soul has been waiting here, watching the people who come to take risks. Although their goals and goals are different, the courage to face danger has always been appreciated by me. I have tried to communicate with them, but unfortunately I have never succeeded. But this time, I was obviously very lucky, and you are also very lucky. Mercenaries. There is actually a soul magician in your mercenary ice group. This is something I never thought of……” As he said this, Kafka bowed humbly to Lita who was smiling. Then he continued.

"I communicate with this lady, and I hope to help you, thank you for your help."

“But, but…………”

Lita said with some anxiety.

"In order to extend your existence, I can only undo the magic that materializes you. Sorry, Mr. Mercenary Corps Commander, I don't have enough power to materialize you."

"It's okay, dear little magician."

Kafka smiled slightly.

"I am already satisfied to be able to appear in front of people like this and talk to them. Perhaps after you die, you will be able to realize how lonely it is to be unable to communicate with people... Well, it is a bit too early to talk to you now, so let's get to the point as soon as possible."

As he said that, Kafka turned around again and looked at Kufes, then he moved his eyes slightly, stayed on Yiming's face, nodded at him, and then continued.

"So, beautiful mercenary lady, before entering here, can you tell me what you came for? For money? For those gem minerals full of magic? Or those plants and herbs with mysterious and magical effects? Or those ferocious beasts that can be worth ten thousand gold if they are just fur?"

Kufes pondered for a moment. To be honest, as an ordinary person, she did not trust the soul that appeared in front of her, and no one could guarantee it. What if he deliberately brought himself in and let them die inside? After all, he was dead, and even if he wanted to take revenge, there was no way. However, although there was danger, if what the soul said was true, then...

Thinking of this, Kufes suddenly had an idea.

"So, Captain Kafka, I heard that there were chaotic demon dogs in the dark valley recently......"

"Ah... Chaos Dogs? They have been there, not just recently. They are the nightmare of adventurers. When you enter the canyon, you may not encounter them. But these cunning hell dogs will lurk in the dark and launch an attack when you are about to evacuate. Many adventurers will fail in the end because of their loss of vigilance. If you are here for Chaos Dogs, then I have only one suggestion, go in, go around, and come out. Only a few lucky people will not be attacked by Chaos Dogs for occasional reasons. Most others will be attacked by them suddenly when they are about to leave the Dark Canyon. They are everywhere, in the sky, underground, in the stone walls... I have to say that this is a very tricky enemy. And I am also its victim."

Speaking of this, Kafka showed a sorry smile.

"So, how did you die..."

"this………"

"He is trying to cover up the pastor girl he loves, right, Mr. Commander?"

Lita suddenly spoke. Then she explained to her in the eyes of Coofez.

"When I summon the soul, I will get all the memories and experiences of that soul, which is also what I have to do... If you are worried, Miss Coofes, I promise you that you don't have to worry at all. After all, the dead will not lie."

"Tell me, Miss Coofes."

Yi Ming also spoke from the side.

"Now we are about to enter the Dark Canyon. I think we should also know the content of the entrusted task."

Kuffith gritted his teeth. Then he looked at the old man beside him, then raised his head and looked at Yi Ming.

"Then, I said. She said solemnly.

"This time, our mission is to rescue two people from the Dark Canyon."

"Save someone?"

Yi Ming narrowed his eyes.

"Are you sure it's not transporting the corpse?"

"this…………"

In fact, Coffis himself was not so sure. Although their original mission was indeed to save people, it should be known that more than ten days have passed since the mission was released. If they were people who could live in the dark valley for ten days, they would not need to save them. Maybe they would have to turn around and save them. But this matter is not trivial after all. Moreover, the two missing people were not ordinary people, so Coffis had to take action himself, and even if there was no hope, he would have to go this way.

"Who saves?"

Yi Ming asked casually.

"One man and one woman, about the same age as Miss Lita's Magician..."

"I think we should really transport two coffins first."

Yi Ming looked at the carriage with supplies in the middle of the team, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

A man and a woman, just about the same age as Lita? Here? For God's sake, I hope to find the remaining bones they have been eaten.

"But, after all, there is no hope..."

It was obvious that even she could not convince Coffis's explanation. But she could not give up, so Coffis sighed and stopped entangling with Yiming, but turned to the ghost waiting aside.

"So, Mr. Kafka, are you here all the time?"

“Most of the time.”

Kafka nodded.

"Because I am now a soul, I can instead study something that I cannot study as a human being. I once followed the Dog of Chaos for a week to observe and study their preferences and ways of acting. I also fell asleep with the Dream Snake, and its sharp teeth could not bite me anyway. But most of the time, I like to wait for here, the mouth of the canyon, and the arrival of adventurers, which is more... exciting."

"So…………"

Kufez asked in a hurry and excitedly.

"Have you seen two children of this age?"

"Of course, because although they were wearing mercenary leather armor, they didn't look like mercenaries no matter how they looked. And the ones who followed them were the knights wearing armor I had never seen before. So I was very impressed."

"So, do you know how they are?"

"This...is sorry."

Kafka made a gesture apologetically.

"I was curious and wanted to see what the two children came here to do, but at that time I saw the rare chaos demon dog fighting the Death Falcon, so it took my time. When I recalled it, I could no longer find them. Of course, although I had been looking for it, their bodies were not found in the Dark Canyon. So, either they have not been eaten yet, or they have been swallowed up and there are no bones left. Of course, based on my personal experience in the Dark Canyon, I think the latter is much more likely than the former."

"so…………"

Kufes sighed in disappointment, and then she shook her head.

"Why don't you..."

"Follow them? Beautiful lady, I'm just a soul, and there's no soul magician among them. What do you think can I do with them? Seeing poisonous snakes entangled in the bodies of those children? Or watching the chaotic demon dogs bite their flesh and blood? Watching them struggle, cry, and then die under the humiliation of the monsters? Sorry, although I'm a ghost, I don't have such a weird hobby. If you follow the poor adventurers all day long, watch them step into the trap and die helplessly in the wail, but you can't do anything. I believe that in no time, you will become the same as me, right?"

The ghost's words were reasonable, so Kufes didn't say anything more. She stared at Kafka, as if she wanted to see him through, and then she bowed slightly.

"So, do you still remember the children's routes? Can you please lead us?"

"I am honored, ma'am...and this gentleman."

For some reason, Yi Ming discovered that the ghost suddenly winked at him while staring at him.
