Ghouls roared outside the inn, their mournful voices swept through the heavens and the earth by the wind, the two intertwined to make the scalp tingle, this imintelligent creature that came back from the dead annihilated their complex emotions as humans, and the only thing left was the instinct to hunt life

The brilliance overflowed from between Max's fingers, and the silver pendant turned into a cross weapon that was almost the same as Max's, and the cross, which looked like it had been etched by vicissitudes, was engraved with lines of mottled and broken ancient characters, which were like ancient stone tablets that solidified the weight of time.

"Young master, you better rest, just leave these garbage goods to me. ”

The two silver nails in Klindo's hands were sharp, the silver was the nemesis of ghosts, and in the hands of the believers of the Holy Church, these dagger-sized silver nails were transformed into weapons of destruction against ghouls.

"Bang bang," a few dull gunshots shook people's eardrums.

Several bounty hunters couldn't help but say that they had pulled the trigger of the flint gun, and the white smoke after the gunpowder burned was instantly blown away by the wind and sand, this old-fashioned firearm was notoriously powerful, but it was still very effective against ghouls at such a close range.

The projectile shattered the ghoul's scales and exploded into a patch of flesh, but with this painless creature, it would be difficult to restrain their frantic counterattack unless they were killed with a single hit.

Sure enough, the ghouls became even more hideous in the face of the humans' first attack, and they threw away the stumps of their horses and approached the inn vigilantly.

"No, Klindor, you go and guard the back door of the inn from the ghosts from behind," Max said, carrying the cross behind him, "and be sure to protect the wounded horses, without which we will not be able to go anywhere." ”

"I see, young master. Clindo put away the silver spikes and hurried away.

As we spoke, the bounty hunters had already stormed the door, dropping their single-shot flint guns and slashing at the ghouls with their glaring blades.

Max was about to join the battle to kill the ghouls when he took two steps when a slender arm stood in his way.

Max looked sideways at Monica in a tight red dress, and at this time she was like a blood-dripping rose blooming in the smoke of gunpowder, cold and dangerous.

"Bounty hunters never need outsiders to intervene in their battles. ”

"Your weapons can't kill ghouls. Max tossed a silver coin and caught it steadily, he stretched out his palm in front of Monica, "It's okay." ”

"We have our own plan of action, so you better take care of yourself first," the knife flew nimbly in Monica's hand, "No one cares about your safety when you strangle the ghoul." ”

The clanging of blades was incessant, and the rest of the bounty hunters were already in the hunt for the ghouls, who had clearly underestimated the ferocity of the ghouls, and the sharp steel knives slashed at the scales, leaving nothing more than a white mark on the ghoul's body.

"Big sister, this thing's shell is so hard!" Scar shouted as he kicked a ghoul away.

"Scar, hold on, I'll be right here!" Monica responded.

Monica lifted her red dress, took a flint from the holster strapped to her thigh, and threw it to the waitress who was shivering beside her. Bounty hunters by profession, armed with weapons they have honed to survive as they wander the entrances to hell.

"Xiao Yi, protect the guests who come from afar. ”

"I... Me?" Xiao Yi was frightened by what was happening outside the hotel, and he pointed to himself in a bit of confusion, "Okay... All right. ”

Monica glanced at Max meaningfully, then spread her fingers and rushed into the battlefield.

Max put his hood back on, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned and walked back as he faced the increasingly bloody sand outside the door.

"First... Sir, are you really not going to help the eldest sister?" Xiao Yi asked with a trembling voice.

"Are you also a bounty hunter?" Max stopped and looked at the boy, who was three or four years younger than himself.

"Sister Monica said that after this mission, I can officially become a bounty hunter. Xiao Yi looked down in shame at the somewhat unfamiliar weapon in his hand.

"Use this. ”

Max handed a silver-gray pistol to Xiao Yi, the shape of the pistol was different from the ordinary old flint gun, and more like an evolved model.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi took the pistol, and the cold touch contained a lot of power, much smaller than the one in his hand.

"Silver bullets are more lethal to ghouls. ”

"Sir..."

Looking at the back of Max walking up to the second floor, Xiao Yi's chaotic heartbeat gradually stabilized, recalling that the man's gaze at him just now was as warm as a big brother, and his soft gaze made people feel reassured.

Standing in front of the window of the corridor on the second floor, Max patiently observed the situation on the battlefield and its surroundings.

Based on the last encounter with the ghouls, there must have been a grave or other burial ground near the Frankie Carriage Hotel, and there were almost no people on the way, except for the dry riverbed, and the forest next to it was crying in the wind.

However, the sandstorm had erased the dead forest from view, and only a dozen ghouls and the bounty hunters fighting with them could be seen against a pale yellow background.

There were already three or four convulsive ghouls waiting to be killed in the clearing outside the window, and it seemed that the guys in the Hunters' Guild weren't vegetarians either.

Monica was right, they were prepared, and the bounty hunters had a silver dagger at their waists, and each flash of silver would cut a deep wound on the ghoul's body.

Raising his head and looking around, Max's vision was severely obscured.

"No, the height is still not enough. Max tried his best to see what was hidden beyond the wind and sand, but in the distance there was chaos, and he couldn't see anything.

I don't know why, Max has a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, this embattled situation is a taboo in military theory, and he must turn passive into active in order to increase the bargaining chips for winning, and he has never been a person who likes to be grasped by his opponent.

Max always felt that there were a pair of eyes watching what was happening here, and this sense of crisis had been haunting him from time to time since he approached Snowfog Town.

Outside of the wind and sand, there must be some ulterior secret, Max confirmed his inner guess.

The crumbling windmill creaked in the strong winds, and the crumble hit the windmill's fan blades with a palpitating "ping-pong" sound, which attracted Max's attention.

The boy with the cross on his back pushed open the window closest to the windmill.

The members of the bounty hunters were leaning together in a ring defensive posture, and there were already several ghoul corpses on the ground, while there were still a dozen or so ghouls staring at them outside, and neither side dared to act rashly, and they were frozen together for a while.

"How's going on over there, big sister?" asked a man who looked like a chef.

"Just got one out, and two more on the roof of the stable," Monica turned her back to her comrades who had been born and died, "where are you?"

"Ledo and I just killed one, and the rest of the one is a bit big and may take some time. ”

"Pay attention to their claws and the venom that comes out of their mouths, the employer said, it's highly poisonous," Scar shook off the viscous liquid from the tip of the knife in disgust, "and it's disgusting, I knew I hadn't eaten so much just now, and I feel sick to my stomach now at the thought of steak." ”

"Why don't you call those two Holy Church guys to help?" asked a man with a beard.

"Bearded, are you stupid?!" the cook said to his companion behind him, "Xiao Yi still has to take the hunter qualification certificate, if the people of the guild know that this operation has the help of outsiders, how can Xiao Yi join the hunter guild." ”

"Who knows where this bird doesn't poop?"

"We'll do it ourselves!" Monica looked at the boy with the pistol in the hotel, her eyes flashing with warmth for the first time.

"The eldest sister is right!" Scar sharpened the two sharp knives in his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, let's solve the current crisis first, this group of monsters is not as easy to deal with as the employer said, damn, you must take care of the guild after you go back!"

The remaining ghouls may have sensed that the creatures in front of them were enough to threaten their lives, and they roared for the next time to attack, as if they were pleading, as if they were emboldening themselves.

The next moment, the ghoul's voice abruptly stopped without warning, and all that remained in the hunters' ears was the whirring of wind and sand.

"What's going on?" the cook clenched the steel kitchen knife in his hand, and the ghoul he had confronted before stopped screaming.

Not only this ghoul, but all the ghouls seemed to have been suddenly choked by the throat, and they twisted their heads in some panic and looked around, and there was a hint of fear on the faces of the strange people who had been eerie just now.

The ghouls retreated in silence, gradually disappearing into the wind and sand, silent, and then scattered and fled, not even daring to stop for a moment.

"What happened?" Monica frowned, she didn't think it was that simple.

"Were you scared away by the heroism and handsomeness of your brothers?" the bearded man teased.

"It's just you, your mother didn't dare to enter your house with the blind date you found, it must be because of me..."

The bounty hunter named Ledo was about to taunt the bearded man, but before he could finish speaking, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

A thick red arm easily pierced Ledo's stomach, and then a face even more terrifying than a ghoul emerged from the sand, dark red scales covering its entire face, and a pair of curved fangs in its mouth.

The monster's viper-like eyes stared blankly at Ledo, without any emotional fluctuations, the most primitive sense of conquest, the slaughter of the strong against the weak.

"Ledo!" the crowd exclaimed.

Only now did they understand why the ghouls had scattered and fled, and like the wolves, the other wolves were not allowed to come near the food while the wolf king was about to eat.

Obviously, this behemoth more than two meters tall in front of him is the leader of this group of ghouls.

"Leave me alone, let's go!" Ledo grabbed the monster's arm with one hand, and then stabbed the sharp knife at the monster with the last of his strength, he wanted to die with the monster.

But Ledo's knife stopped in front of him before it could touch the monster, and it was difficult to move forward.

The monster directly bit half of Ledo's body and tore him in half, and the bounty hunters of the Imperial Capital Hunters Guild were brutally tortured and killed before they could even launch an attack.
