Chapter 169 The Hunting of the Black Fairy

"You guys, have you heard of the Black Banshee?"

The flames in the brazier in the tavern swayed endlessly under the blowing of the evening wind. The orange fire light shone on the wrinkled face of the old homeless man. Matching his cloudy eyeballs, a strange and terrifying breath came over his face. .

The homeless people around listened intently, and some couldn't help swallowing.

Surrounded by everyone, the old homeless man said slowly:

"It is said that on the even-numbered days of every week, in this rubbish mountain, after 27:00 midnight, there will be a beautiful and dark-skinned banshee wandering on the inconspicuous path, and it will seduce every man who passes there , dig out the man's heart after a night of fun, and finally eat the whole body, leaving nothing..."

What the old man told was a legend that had been circulated in the past five years, and this kind of weird legend was undoubtedly very appetizing to the homeless, and they began to express their opinions first.

"I heard that just a few days ago, Will, who wanted to be a soldier every day, disappeared at night. Maybe he was..."

"Don't talk about it, Will was hacked to death by the boss of Rotten Tooth. Everyone in Donghua knows it very well, and it has nothing to do with the Black Banshee!"

"You said how good-looking the black banshee is, is there any comparison with those noble ladies in the city?"

"So what in some competitions, he's not a slut......"

Seeing the vagabonds discussing the black banshee who doesn't know the truth, the bragging Jack was the first to be overwhelmed. You know, when he was bragging, he was not surrounded by a group of people asking, why? He had received such disregard from time to time, so he planned to do something to restore his "prestige".

"Hey, y'all come over here, I have a big announcement to make"!

Jack endured the cold and stood up and said loudly, but the other homeless people were talking about it with gusto, and no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing such a result, Jack blushed with anger, and he hurriedly continued:

"I tell you, I - Great Jack is going to find this black banshee today, and bring her back for everyone's fun, and I mean it, I'm not bragging this time"!

When he said this, even Jack himself was taken aback. He felt a little regretful at the time, but at this time the other homeless people had already looked over, and those watching the excitement didn't care about Jack's embarrassment, and they immediately chattered Tongue discussion started.

"Yo, Jack, I'm so ambitious, I don't want to be a lady in the city anymore"?

"Also catch the black banshee, the black banshee must scratch you to death when she sees your virtue."

"Silly Jack, to be honest, I don't even want you to catch any black banshees. Just today, if you dare to go to the alley where old Kai'sa lives in the garbage mountain in Dongpian, hang old Kai'sa on the door If you bring back one of the dead crows on the road, I'll give you a silver coin!"

One of the homeless men who didn't deal with Jack was even fancier. Seeing this scene, the other homeless men also added fuel to the fire. They all shouted that Jack must not refuse, or they would be cowards who love to brag.

Maybe it was because the water in the tavern was mixed with a little more ale today, maybe it was because everyone's booing suddenly had the effect of an orc's war drum. Jack, who was ridiculed by everyone, didn't sit back resentfully as usual, but suddenly shouted impulsively:

"Okay, I'll go and bring back a dead bird. If I meet any black banshee, I'll catch it and show it to you. I hope that some rascal won't take my silver coin!"

After speaking, Jack jumped off the stone platform and stumbled out of the tavern.

Seeing this scene, the tramps couldn't help but look at each other. They were just booing in boredom. Who would have thought that Jack would actually go out to find some black banshee.

"I said it's not good for us to do this. I heard that many people have indeed disappeared recently..."

"Come on, those who disappeared must have starved to death somewhere, who has nothing to do to catch us tramps?"

"Yes, yes, and even if there is a black banshee, it might still be a good fortune. I have never tasted a woman in my life, and it is not in vain to meet a monster before I die."

Speaking of this topic, all the homeless fell silent. They silently stared at Jack as he walked further and further away in the cold wind, wondering what they were thinking.

No matter what the homeless man in the tavern was thinking, Jack was in a terrible mood at this time. After the cold wind blew, he also woke up a lot from the impulse. Now Jack's body and whole heart were trembling, He didn't want to go to any dark alleys at all. Even if the Black Banshee was just a ghost story, it was unbelievable, there were often some terrible criminals hiding in those alleys.

But Jack was not reconciled to running home so disheveled. He still remembered the silver coin promised by his opponent. It was a silver coin. How many tramps have never seen a silver coin in their lives.

And in the group of homeless people, gambling is the only thing that can't be played around. As long as Jack gets the dead crow from old Kai'Sa's door, then he will really get a beautiful silver coin.

"Well, isn't it just going to a small alley, when the time comes, I will drag a dead crow and run away. I am the "Fast Leg Jack" back then, even if there is a black banshee, I can't catch up with me."

Unknowingly, the distance to the tavern was already far away, and Jack was secretly ruthless, but the surrounding night and cold never abated. The dead night was like a big hand holding all living things firmly in his palm. From Jack's point of view, the surrounding rubbish mountains seemed to have turned into ferocious monsters, ready to pounce on him at any time and tear him to pieces.

Fear quickly grew in Jack's heart. Unknowingly, he even forgot about the black banshee, the bet, and even the pile of cowhide he blew down. Now Jack only feels that he is being chased by an extremely terrifying beast Then, he involuntarily started running wildly.

Jack, who was running wildly, had no ability to think at all, and he seemed to no longer have the perception of the surrounding environment. He didn't even notice that he ran into the alley that all the homeless were afraid to avoid. Of course, he couldn't see the night The weird scene that is happening here.

At some point, a black goblin with a grinning face appeared beside Jack. It embraced Jack's neck and refused to let go. This little monster with dark skin kept spitting out wisps of black mist from its cracked mouth.

The black mist twisted and twisted into Jack's nose and nose like live snakes, but Jack didn't notice the black mist he was breathing. He was still stumbling towards the depths of the alley. In the process of running, he was scratched by the rubbish around him, and he didn't realize it at all.

Finally, half asleep and half awake, Jack ran to the end of the alley, and then stood by the wall in a daze, motionless. Beside him stood two other "wooden men" with dull expressions, also motionless.

The black goblin smiled ferociously and patted the heads of the three "prey". Obviously, for this black goblin, this night was a harvest night, since they were only allowed to hunt single "prey", so Hunting three hungry people like this tonight is considered a good harvest.

But just when the black goblin was about to jump off Jack's shoulder and bring the new "experiment" back to the base as usual, a sudden change happened.
