Chapter 62: The Woods on the Southern Outskirts of Karan
No matter what, Erha still has to be saved.
It's just that this has to pay attention to ways and means, otherwise Li Feng entered the sewer, and the person didn't save him but put himself on the hook, so who to talk to.
Xiao Hei thought about it, there was only one way.
Report!
Before going to report the crime, Caroline told the Countess about the cat.
The Countess didn't say anything, just asked a guard to follow Caroline to find the cat.
The one who took the case was a regular visitor to the Forgotten Tavern, the joking Cooper.
This time, though, he wasn't joking.
He doesn't care about those cats and dogs, he cares about those sewer monsters.
If those monsters really eat anything they can see, as Caroline said, will they eat people?
No one can guarantee this.
After Cooper reported the incident to his immediate boss Raymond, Raymond didn't even ask about the source of the information, and directly summoned 20 law enforcers from Third Street to walk with Caroline and Li Feng to the woods outside the city.
In order to facilitate control, there are only the east gate and the west gate in the whole of Kalan, and in front of the west gate is the Toqib River, so everyone can only start from the east gate and come to the woods south of Kalan.
Upon entering the woods, the enforcers in steel helmets spread out with iron shields and swords in hand.
This nameless forest has nothing special, only a few large trees that are about to die, and thorny grasses with spikes.
Only some outsiders who have no money to go into the city for the night will spend the night in this woods and pick some wild fruits to satisfy their stomachs.
Usually there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants here, but today, this land is too quiet.
After walking for half an hour, not only did he not encounter wanderers, but he couldn't even hear the low chirping of insects.
It seems that the shadow of death has enveloped this forest, strangling all living beings.
Feeling the anomaly around them, the law enforcers who had spread everywhere gathered a little more.
"Be careful, there's something wrong here. Raymond whispered.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a law enforcer cut off the thorns under his feet with a sword, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw the trunk of the tree beside him: "Captain, there is a bloody handprint here!"
Raymond immediately leaned over, his leather gloves were stained with a little blood from his handprints, he rubbed it with his thumb and middle finger, and put it in front of his nose to smell it: "The blood is very fresh, it shouldn't take more than two hours." ”
Then he crouched down and observed the thorns around him: "There are drops of blood, someone is injured! He is being chased by something, and those thorns have traces of being crushed by something, which must be the monster that Caroline said." ”
"Go to the five of them, look in this direction, whoever is sure to save him!" said Raymond, pointing in the direction he had just crossed.
The law enforcement team immediately split up and ran out quickly in the direction Raymond had pointed out.
Raymond turned to look at Caroline, "This forest has become unsafe, we need to speed up the search next, so..."
"Lord Raymond, I see what you mean, I'll leave now. After saying that, Caroline handed Xiao Hei to Li Feng and left the forest alone.
After Caroline left, Raymond and the others immediately quickened their pace, ignoring the thorns and weeds around them, relying on the iron armor on their bodies.
After searching for a while, the law enforcement team found more clues.
Bloody handprints, bloody corners, finger-deep scratches on the trunk of trees, leading to a bloody path deep in the woods.
This means that the forest is undergoing an unknown change.
"Two. Raymond stopped the team, looked at the Countess's guards and Li Feng and said, "Things have exceeded our expectations, and we are no longer able to protect you on the road ahead, why don't you go back and wait for news?"
"I'm just here to find a cat for Madame, protection, I don't need you to protect me. As soon as the guard's hands were forced, his thick arms were immediately covered with green scriptures and bulged.
Xiao Hei hid in Li Feng's palm, and gently drew a word with his claws, Li Feng shook his head randomly.
Seeing that he was unable to persuade the two, Raymond had to order to continue the search.
"Wang!"
A member of the law enforcement team pointed in the direction where the voice came from and looked at Raymond: "Captain, there is a situation." ”
"Catch up and have a look. Raymond said immediately.
The law enforcement team immediately ran quickly, Xiao Hei and Li Feng looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sense of relief.
Erha's running speed was fast, exceeding Raymond's expectations.
Sassy and sassy.
Something was swam swiftly over the thorns towards the law enforcement team.
Raymond had to give up catching up with Erha, and immediately ordered the team to stop and prepare for battle.
The eight enforcers in front of them crouched on the ground, took out their shields and blocked them, and their swords grazed into the gaps between them.
The next seven enforcers placed their shields on top of the former's shields, and also inserted their swords between the shields.
The rustling sound is getting louder and louder.
At the end of the woods, the mermaids with white eyes, sparse hair, thin bodies, pale skin and pus in some parts, crawling with maggots and sharp claws, with a height of 2 meters, pressed against the thorns, crowded and swam towards everyone.
There are more than 20 fish-men, and their mouths emit low, oozing sounds.
Seeing this ferocious-looking mermaid, some of the law enforcers trembled a little.
"Hold on! they have nothing to fear!" Raymond slowly drew his sword, his gaze gradually coldening: "For Kalan, for Odo, kill me!"
Bang!
The fishmen didn't seem to see the iron wall of enforcers, and rushed straight up.
The tip of the sword pierced through the fish-man's skin, piercing through his back.
Just when the enforcers thought they had defeated the fishmen.
There was another bang, and the human wall of enforcers collectively took a step back.
Bang bang!
The enforcers retreated one after another, and cracks appeared in the impregnable copper wall.
Two more fishmen crashed into the iron wall, and the entire defensive formation was instantly torn apart.
The enforcers hurriedly drew their swords and prepared to face the fish-men who came later, but they saw that the fish-men who had been hanging on their swords suddenly came to life again, yelled at the law enforcement officers, spat out a stinking breath, and then slapped the enforcer's helmet into a dent and buzzed.
"How can it be alive?" Raymond was shocked, couldn't this thing be killed?
No, it must be killed, there can be no unsolvable monsters.
Raymond strode forward, slammed his shield into the fish-man pressing on his team, and then stabbed his sword into the fish-man's heart with both hands.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Hei hurriedly whispered to Li Feng: "Help, that captain is going to suffer!"
The heart is the vital point of all living beings, and nothing can survive when the heart is pierced.
Raymond had always thought so, but today, his perception has been overturned.
Without even a moment's pause, the fish-man who had been pierced through the heart waved his arm and grabbed at Raymond's calf.
In order to facilitate movement, the thickness of the iron armor is far less than that of the helmet.
If he catches it this time, even if Raymond does not become lame, he will be seriously incapacitated due to injury.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky, stepped on the merman's arm, and then kicked the mermaid in the head with his other leg.
The fish-man's head, which had long been rotten, was immediately kicked and exploded.
There was no plasma splattered as expected, just blackened, smelly carrion, and a small amount of maggots.
Raymond looked at his calf with palpitations, looked up and said to Li Feng, "Thank you." ”
Li Feng nodded.
"Everyone, the monster's weakness is the head! Attack their head!" Raymond shouted at the surrounding enforcers.
Several enforcers who were not suppressed by the fish-men immediately raised their swords and stabbed them at the fish-man's head.
The strong stench, disgusting, and dizzy smell immediately spread.
A law enforcer smelled the rushing smell and sprayed a mouthful of filth on the face of the fishman who was trampling on his feet.
More enforcers simply shook off the enemy in front of them, crouched on the ground, and retched at the lawn.
A fish-man who had been suppressed by the enforcers, after breaking free from the suppression, struggled twice on the ground, stood up, and rushed towards the enforcers who were retching at the lawn, his claws already raised, pointing directly at the enforcer's vest.
The enforcer was on the brink of battle, and when the other enforcers found out about their companion's situation and wanted to rescue, it was too late: "Creighton be careful!"
"Get out!"
The sturdy calf kicked horizontally, and the fish-man who struck at the enforcer's vest cut off his waist.
Looking at the upper body of the fish-man who had not yet died, the guard directly kicked the fish-man and trampled the fishman's head to pieces.
Raising his head, the guard looked at the group of law enforcers in front of him: "If we knew that the will of your law enforcers was like this, we should have sent someone over ourselves." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the law enforcers were not very good-looking.
But the battle continued, and there was no time for them to be ashamed.
