As night falls, cold fog gradually rises from the outdoor camp.

The air in the water season is relatively humid, and there is not much dry firewood for burning in the camp. In order to resist the cold, people wear thick cloaks and huddle around the limited campfire to keep warm and rest.

Where no one can see, there is a pair of ferocious eyes silently observing the camp. This is a night saber.

This ferocious predator has long, sharp claws that are as sharp as blades, its body is dark, and it moves swiftly and silently. It is the darling of the night and a nightmare in the fog.

Nightsabers are ferocious, cunning and vindictive. Being targeted by them means they will fight to the death. Therefore, the moonsabers are also called the Black Death by adventurers. Now, they are eyeing this camp.

This beast has been observing the camp for a while, and its intuition tells it that some prey in this camp are very dangerous, and can even easily kill it in a frontal battle. But it does not intend to give up, because a surprise attack in the dark is what it wants.

Housekeeping skills.

There are heavily armed guards guarding the camp, but this cannot stop this ferocious and bloodthirsty beast. It knows that fear will cause weak prey to create chaos in the group, and chaos will give it the opportunity to hunt.

, with just one surprise attack, it can drag the weak ones fleeing in panic into the darkness and make themselves a feast.

"Nelson, there are no people around the four bonfires outside the camp. Why don't you let some of the citizens go somewhere to keep warm?" I saw that the citizens were huddled around the limited number of bonfires in the camp. Because there were too many people, some of them were lying on the outside.

The people were shivering from the cold, and Victor couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, the four bonfires outside the camp are used to defend against wild beasts. Our scouts found the paw prints of night sabers nearby. This kind of beast becomes bolder at night and often attacks travelers, especially

The fog is thick now, and it is difficult for our guards to defend against such ferocious beasts without relying on campfires." Nelson was fully armored, with two heavy battle axes slung across his body, and he was scanning the outside of the camp vigilantly.

"Do you think the night saber would attack a camp with so many of us?" Victor was a little surprised.

"It will definitely attack. Although this kind of beast is not powerful, it will become very active at night. If we are a little negligent, it will drag away an unlucky guy and take it back for a midnight snack." Nelson said.

A professional mercenary knows this ferocious beast well.

"Then let me talk to Knight Bruce and ask him to arrange two trainee knights to help you defend against this beast?" Victor was a little worried that there were not enough guards.

"Sir, don't worry. These old guys of mine are all experienced hands. As long as that beast shows up tonight, we can kill it." Nelson said confidently.

"My lord and the scholar can stay in the carriage, and the knight's cavalry will protect the safety of the carriage." Nelson thought for a while, but still hoped that his lord could stay away from danger.

Victor nodded, boarded the carriage, and found Master Edwin.

"Master, how much do you know about the night saber?" Victor decided to take this opportunity to have some exchanges with the scholar master.

"Why, is the camp being targeted by such a difficult beast?" The scholar had just asked when he heard the howling of hounds and the fearful neighing of horses outside the camp.

The two people quickly got out of the carriage, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Knight Bruce walking over with a long sword and several knights' retinue.

"Sir, what happened?" Bruce asked Victor.

"Maybe it was the night saber that attacked the camp." Victor was not sure, so he walked towards the commotion.

Several people walked to the edge of the camp and saw several guards holding one-handed spears and bucklers, leaning on each other and facing the dark wilderness outside the camp.

Although nothing can be seen, the sound of the beast gnawing flesh and bones can be heard. It seems that the beast was discovered by the vigilant terrier as it approached the camp, and then it caught the poor terrier, and now this beast

The beast is devouring its prey in the dark.

"Night sabers are beasts that are very good at sneaking and raiding. They can always find the weakness of their prey and carry out surprise hunting in the dark. Once a victim appears in the prey group, the night saber will continue to hunt this group.

, it will not end until you kill it or leave its territory." After Edwin determined that it was a night saber attacking the camp, he couldn't help but frowned. Obviously, this kind of beast that is good at hiding itself with the help of night and thick fog is a headache.

.

"Knight Bruce, it seems I need to ask you to kill this beast." Victor requested Bruce.

"Happy to oblige." Knight Bruce gave Victor a knightly salute.

At this moment, a guard holding a spear on the outside seemed to be afraid, dropped the spear in his hand, turned around and ran towards the camp.

His exposed back stimulated the night saber's hunting instinct and bloodthirsty impulse. As the mist rolled, a huge beast jumped out of the darkness and moved toward him at a speed that was too fast for anyone to react.

The deserter pounced.

The huge black shadow was about to knock down the target, but the Bruce Knight was too far away to rescue him.

Just when everyone thought that the militiaman was doomed, the militiaman suddenly rolled on the spot and disappeared from the beast's sight in an instant. The night saber was a little overwhelmed by the sudden change and froze on the spot.

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded from the position closest to the beast. Nelson was seen carrying a tomahawk and a round shield and rushing towards the dazed beast. With a heavy shield blow, the night saber was killed by Narson.

Nelson hit the head hard with his shield. The strong force knocked the beast somersaulting in the air, but before it landed, the tomahawk in Nelson's hand had already passed over its soft body.

its chest and abdomen, and smashed its body onto the solid ground.

In the blink of an eye, everything was over.

Victor and Edwin walked to the still twitching body of the beast and saw Nelson pulling out the escaped guard from a hole in the ground.

"It's a great strategy. It makes people pretend to be panic, arouse the night saber's desire to attack, and then jump into the dug hole. Finally, the guards who have already ambush complete the killing of the beast." The scholar did not praise this ambush.

Absolutely.

"Captain Nelson can kill such a ferocious beast so easily. If I read correctly, Nelson should be a ferocious warrior." Knight Bruce said softly.

"Violent?" Victor's eyes moved from the ferocious beast corpse on the ground to Nelson's body and looked at it a few times.

"Ferocious transformation is a special mutation of ferocious creatures in this world. Violent animals will be more powerful and agile than ordinary animals. Their bones will become very hard, comparable to metal, and their muscles and fur will become particularly dense.

Strong, and can even resist some ordinary attacks. The vitality of violent animals is tenacious, and their self-healing ability is also extremely powerful. Ordinary injuries can heal themselves quickly. However, the probability of creatures becoming violent is very low, while ordinary humans can become violent.

The probability is even lower. It is said that the barbarians in the Turrell Mountains of the North generally become violent when they reach adulthood. Fortunately, their fertility is low, otherwise our human world will be ruthlessly attacked by the barbarians of the North." Scholars also

He looked at Nelson with interest.

"Oh, then what is the reason why humans become violent?" Victor asked, he was very interested in this.

"There is no conclusion. Over the past hundred years, the White Tower has investigated hundreds of cases of human beings turning violent. Unfortunately, no valuable clues or patterns have been found. The violent transformation seems to happen randomly. Not only are mercenaries who have been wandering on the edge of life and death all year round, but also

There are tailors, bards, and even nuns. Moreover, the degree of ferocity is not the same. Some people with high degree of ferocity can even compete with knights in combat power, while some are only slightly stronger than elite soldiers." Edwin shrugged.

shrugged.

"Indeed, there are strong and weak levels of ferocity, and Captain Nelson's level of ferocity is already very powerful, completely comparable to the Bronze Knight who has just entered the realm of knights." Although Knight Bruce is reserved and arrogant, he also respects powerful warriors.
