16. Lure

The city of Galapagos in the night fog resembles a ghost town shrouded in a canopy of the dead.

Walking down the street, you can't see any pedestrians.

The houses on both sides of the street were silent, with no lights or sound, as if they had stopped breathing.

A drop of water on the eaves fell into a small puddle on the stone slab, making a crisp 'pop' sound.

Joan and a white-haired girl covered in a black robe walked slowly down the deserted street.

Her face was strangely white, and her eyes were slightly frightened.

She walked cautiously, she stretched out a hand and pulled Deborah, Deborah seemed a little unaccustomed to walking such a night road, she stumbled a little.

Deborah is a girl with an exceptionally innocent face, with beautiful and smooth long white hair, and the skin on her face is extraordinarily fair.

But this white skin with an ivory sheen came to an abrupt end just below her neck, and she wore a Mithril collar around her neck, although the collar was engraved with the owner's name: Giga (magician). Below the Mithril collar, the color of the skin is slightly grayish, similar to the skin color of the girl named Joan next to her.

Uh-uh-uh......

There were a few low roars in the distance, the kind that burst from deep in the throat, like the howls of the demons of hell.

The scream sent chills through her heart, and Joan's face had completely lost its blood.

She stopped and turned to look at the girl beside her.

Deborah's face showed mixed emotions, as if she wanted to try to remember something from the past, but those memories seemed to be sealed, and she stood there with her brows on her face, listening to the roar in the distance.

There were doubts, there were difficulties, there were confusions, there were curiosity, but there was no fear, and Deborah was not afraid of the deep voice that could only come out of tearing her throat, like ......

"It's the roar of the Hellhound!" I said to Win Li, Noah, and Shirley Newman to the rest of me, standing in the shadows.

......

...... This is a hunt we have won from the Rand Knights.

The original plan was for me and Noah to walk in front alone, attracting those predators lurking in the shadows to appear, the fear of the night in Galapagos City these days has left a shadow in the hearts of everyone in the city, we want to help Boris Mensa secretly solve this trouble before going to sea, although he implemented some tyranny in Galapagos City, Noah and I disagree very much, but he is Noah's uncle after all, a member of Mensa family.

This is also a welcome gift that Noah wants to give to Boris when he meets him tomorrow.

When Noah and I made a hunting plan, Joan thought that Noah and I were crazy, the Rand Knight was adamant that Noah was in danger, and the swordswoman Miss Cherry stood firmly behind Shirley Newman, and they seemed worried about the unknown dangers, and even Caterina was a little reluctant to put me in danger.

At the last moment, Joan stepped up and said, "Then let me be the bait!"

Deborah is full of novelty in everything, even the matter of being a decoy, she just finds it very interesting.

So, after she was crying and shouting, she even hugged my big legs and didn't let go, begging me to promise her that she would also experience what it is like to be a bait.

Eventually, the hunt was implemented.

The Rand Knight agreed, and he and his team of Constructed Knights secretly followed Joan and Deborah to keep the two girls safe, with Karantso, Katerina, and Miss Cherry staying behind to keep us safe.

We planned to walk all the way from the 'Adventurer's Bar' to a pub called the 'Anchor Bar' on the South Bank Docks, and if all went well, we would return to the hotel where we were staying after finishing our business at the Anchor Bar.

Obviously, the predators of the night had no endurance than we did, and only after we had crossed three streets, Karantso had already felt the danger and whispered to me: "They are coming, I feel it!"

I lowered my voice and said, "Let's stay back a little bit and not let them find us!"

Seeing that our procession had stopped, Jacques was in a hurry, and he came up to me and said to me with great indignation, "You promised me to keep Joan safe. ”

I calmly said to him, "Yes, I promised you. ”

Jacques glanced at the Rand Knight and the others who were following Joan and Deborah, and said in a low voice: "You don't expect the Rand Knight to protect Joan! ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course I don't count on them, we're going to do it on our own!"

I reached out and patted Jacques on the shoulder and said to him, "Let's go, follow us, and welcome you to be a temporary member of the Falcon Squad." ”

"Falcon Squad?" Noah's eyes lit up.

Later, he said to me, "It's a cool name, I love it." ”

I put my arm around Noah's shoulders and said, "That's right, the barbarian hunting team that belongs to Eyre City, when I was in Eyre City, I was an old falcon, I once joined the falcon team, and later formed my own falcon team, cough cough, but now the official member of the falcon team, only Karancuo, and another member, Minotaur Ruka, is still sleeping in the hotel, probably not in time for this hunt." ”

Under Miss Cherry's surprised and envious eyes, Karantso changed into the Spider-Man Overseer's hard leather armor engraved with the 'Giant Bear's Power' magic pattern, and put on the magic pattern makeup, Karantso's momentum changed significantly, and she stood in place and looked like an earth storm bear.

This is probably the charm of the Demonic Pattern Structure, a set of Demonic Pattern Construct can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of a warrior.

I said to Caterina beside me, "Go ahead, go protect Joan and Deborah, be careful not to hurt them, we're in the back, as soon as they appear, we'll come over!"

The magical effect of Katerina's Magical Pattern Construct is 'Concealment', allowing her to hide silently in the shadows in the darkness of the night.

Her demonic pattern was like a delicate layer of skin, which had been worn on her for a long time, and she hadn't taken it off since she entered the Vasqui plane.

Under the gaze of everyone, Caterina hid in the shadows and merged with the night, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After that, before we had reached the fourth street, we heard a roar from ahead.

That familiar voice, I've heard more than once in Eyre, is the roar of the hellhounds.

Unexpectedly, in Galapagos City, there were also such monsters of the Hell Clan.

I said to the likes of Win Li, Noah, and Shirley Newman, "It's the roar of hellhounds!"

......

Out of the night mist, a Hellhound emerged with a massive body, more than two meters long, like a yak calf, burning with infernal lava all over its body, splitting its dark skin into countless pieces.

The hellhound's lava that flowed from the Hellhound's body fell to the ground as the Hellhound moved, forming a faint flame that stretched out into the mist at the foot of the Hellhound.

On the left and right sides of the hellhound's collarbone, there was a huge bulge, which supported the skin of the hellhound, as if something was squirming at the shoulder blades of the hellhound, and the hellhound roared irritably.

Step by step, Hellhound walks in Joan and Deborah.

Its orange eyes bloomed with greed, but when it saw Deborah's appearance, its body stopped.

It took a step back in confusion, stretched out its big nose and sniffed tentatively.

Viciously, it continued to walk towards Joan and Deborah, its lips rolled to reveal a mouthful of fangs, and the saliva in its mouth kept dripping to the ground from the corners of its mouth.

And Joan, when she saw a hellhound coming out of the night fog of the front street, did not have the courage to go any further, but sat down on the ground with her legs limp, and she looked at the behemoth with a pale face and a horrified expression, but she did not make any sound, and she bit her lip so hard.

Deborah, on the other hand, looked at the hellhound that came out of the shadows with a hostile expression, out of instinct to bark her teeth at it, and learned its low roaring sound, she reached out and removed the magic robe covering her body, and a pair of black and white wings suddenly opened in front of Joan, protecting Joan under her.

When Joan first fell on Deborah, although she had been frightened by the hellhound, she still noticed Deborah's graceful body that made her a little crazy with jealousy, the bulging chest that wanted to break through the leather armor, the soft waist that she held in a hand, the round and plump hips, the long slender and straight legs, and she could just use her toes to show the lightness of her body like a dancer.

Who let Deborah have a pair of wings, although these wings did not make Deborah fly, but let Deborah's legs do not have to support the weight of the body, Deborah raised her hands with her teeth and claws, and looked like she was jumping next to her face.

At this moment, even I was a little confused, and I felt the mania in Deborah's heart in the sea of spirits, and her heart was like a tiger hidden.

It's what little bit of liger blood is left in her, and that's the courage that Rengar has bestowed upon her.

It's just that in the next second, the situation changed again.

In the thick fog of the night, two more hellhounds covered in hell lava came out, they were about the same size as the first hellhound, but there were no two wriggling bulges at the collarbone, and the momentum was slightly weaker.

Seeing Deborah put on a desperate posture, he also had to protect himself.

Joan didn't know where the strength came from, like a rabbit, she jumped up from the ground, took Deborah's arm, and shouted, "Don't stand stupidly, run!"

Deborah was surprised to look at Joan, who burst out of amazing physical strength, staggered and followed Joan to run behind her, in order to keep herself from falling, Deborah was like a swan on the lake with wings ready to fly, her feet alternately stepped on the stone slabs of the long street, and her hands were flapping behind her, looking like she was about to fly.

After all, she has the dual physique of a succubus witch and a harpy, and Deborah's amazing physique that burst out in a short period of time rushed to the front at once, turning her into running in front, dragging Joan to run wildly.

......

There were just three hellhounds on the long street.

I exhaled softly, and it didn't look too bad, at least not the three hellhounds.

However, I can't help but be a little suspicious in my heart, with the strength of three hellhounds, can I casually kill three knights of the guard battalion in Galapagos City?

This kind of thing doesn't happen even in El City.

There is no way to compare the scale of a small border town like El City to an island city like the Galapagos, so why are these hellhounds so rampant in the Galapagos City?

This is one thing worth thinking about, and there are three factors:

The strength of the enemy is strong, and the three hellhounds are just the tip of the iceberg...... If that's the case, why should this force hide in the shadows?

The strength of the Knights of the Guard Battalion is limited, and even if all the knights of the Guard Battalion are dispatched, they will not be able to destroy these hellhounds...... In that case, not only the three knights were killed in battle.

If it's the third point...... I was afraid to think about it.

At this time, I couldn't help but look at Noah next to me.

......

When the first Hellhound appeared, I knew that Rand Knight and his team of Constructed Knight were ready for battle, but the two squads were a little far apart.

At the beginning of Joan's performance, it was reasonable, but when she met the hellhound, although she was so scared that she almost collapsed in place, she didn't let out a frightened scream, which is what made me sigh with admiration.

Later, when she saw Deborah desperately trying to block her with her body, confronting the Hellhounds with her teeth and claws, Joan burst out of strength and was able to take the initiative to pull Deborah backwards to buy herself and Deborah a little time to wait for rescue.

Finally, the Rand Knight, armed with Paglio's greatsword, and his team of Constructed Knights burst out of the shadows.

The moment the first Hellhound flew at Joan, he actually grabbed a small silver hammer from his waist and threw it directly at the Hellhound, the small silver hammer emitted a brilliant white light in the night, and when it flew in the air, it suddenly increased and struck the Hellhound on the head fiercely.

'Hammer of Judgment'

The Hellhound was beaten with a small silver hammer and fell to the stone slab, and the hellish lava on his body darkened with it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eight knights managed to keep the two girls at bay.

The three hellhounds also seemed to feel the danger, and did not dare to pounce easily, and of course, they did not dare to flee rashly.

In front of the seven Constructed Knights, these three Hellhounds are really a bit unsightly.

Three knights in armor, armed with crusader swords and knightly light shields, stepped on their feet with a pious halo under their feet, and slowly pressed towards the three hellhounds.

They held the sharp Crusader sword in their hands, a weapon with a bit of divine attributes, which was inherently useful to the Hell.

The breath on the three constructed knights made the three hellhounds also feel a little frightened, they kept carefully retreating, the hellhounds were forced into a corner, and when they had no way to retreat, they finally couldn't help the wildness in their hearts, and in a low roar, they opened their mouths and spewed out a lava fireball.

However, the three lava fireballs were blocked by the Constructed Knight with his shield, and then one of the Constructed Knights seized the gap and took a sideways lunge, the long sword in his hand stabbed through the neck of the Hellhound, directly through the heart of the Hellhound.
