Alan's right arm suddenly began to tremble wildly.

What happened?

He shoved the giant axe in his hand into the mouth of the goblin in front of him, and with a single force, the goblin suddenly split in two from its mouth.

"My right arm ......"

He turned his head to look at Mia, who was not far away.

Mia also looked down at her right arm, as if she was a little confused.

Suddenly, a pungent but familiar stench reached Alan's nose.

Is that......

The smell of magic mixed with desire.

Whether it's a goblin, old Jerry, or a slime, it smells like this.

But Alan had never smelled such a strong smell.

The smell is almost substantial, disgusting.

Looking at the source of the smell, Allen's eyelids twitched wildly.

It's a monster.

The three heads of the dog are huddled together, like the three-headed dog in ancient legends.

On a huge body, he wears a shabby black leather armor.

The black tail wagged incessantly.

The most terrifying thing was that a huge long sword was inserted into the monster's chest, and as the monster moved, pitch-black blood kept oozing from the wound stabbed by the long sword.

Even if they are separated by a distance, Alan can feel the feeling of oppression that makes people breathless.

Alan felt the urge to run away.

This is by no means his timidity, but the survival instinct in the bones of the weak in the face of the strong.

It's definitely not a one-star monster!

Old Oak and Mia, who were standing next to Ellen, also saw the monster.

"That's a three-star monster!"

Old Oak gasped, his eyes full of fear.

"No, we have to leave now!"

He turned, his great axe slashing at the top of a goblin's head, slicing a massive wound in its forehead.

Three-star monsters!

Hearing this term, Allen's heart was full of shock.

As a two-star magician, he can easily deal with one-star monsters, and if it is a three-star monster, if you want to kill him, it should be similar to killing a chicken.

The surrounding monsters had been almost emptied after they had been fighting for so long.

But it's not that the three of them didn't pay a price.

Almost all of the sacrifices were depleted of their vitality in battle.

The three of them stood in place, looking at the three-headed dog monster in the distance, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

They prayed, that the monster wouldn't attack them right away.

The three Allens, who had lost almost all their sacrifices, were unable to deal with monsters that were one level higher than them.

Suddenly, the monster kicked its limbs on all fours and sped towards the back gate, bringing up countless flying dust.

It was lightning fast, and even Allen's enhanced eyesight couldn't easily catch it.

"Let's go now!"

Old Oak said in a deep voice.

If you look closely, you can see that his forehead and palms are all covered in cold sweat.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the root of the fire tree that Eren had been holding in his left hand snapped.

The flames above were extinguished in the blink of an eye, and the roots began to melt into the air.

Anna!

Alan's heart couldn't help but pound.

Anna, who has lost the protection of the root of the fire tree, even encounters the weakest goblin among the monsters, it is a dead word.

But if he doesn't leave with Old Oak and them now, and wait until the three-star three-headed dog monster comes back, Alan may also explain here.

The drums were beating wildly in my heart.

Suddenly, Alan remembered Anna's eyes.

"Alan, what are you doing in a daze?"

Old Oak and Mia were running towards the back gate, but when they saw Alan still standing still, he was not only a little anxious, but urged loudly.

"I need to go back to town!"

As soon as Alan finished speaking, he ran to the roof of a nearby house and rushed towards Graystone Town.

"Bastard!"

Old Oak stomped his foot fiercely and couldn't help but scold.

He stepped on the goods next to him, got up to the roof of the house not far away, and followed Allen.

Mia stood still, her brow furrowed, as if she was making up her mind.

Finally, she sighed, went up to the roof, and chased after the two Ellens.

......

At this time, outside the town of Greystone.

A group of people are running wildly with all their strength.

Behind them, there were twenty or so goblins, frantically chasing.

Every now and then, someone slips on their feet and accidentally falls to the ground, being chased by those goblins.

It didn't even take three seconds, but in the blink of an eye, the man wouldn't even have a bone left.

Humans are always tired, even those who have escaped despair and are running for their lives.

But those monsters, from the beginning to the present, can't even see a trace of exhaustion, only those pairs of red eyes, constantly staring at the humans not far away.

Graystone Town is far from Boulder City, and if you walk, it will take six or seven days to go.

Sooner or later, these people will run out of energy, and by that time, it will be time for the goblins to feast.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew from the direction of Greystone.

It didn't take long for the breeze to gradually increase in strength and turn into a strong wind.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking came from the direction of Greystone.

The voice was still approaching.

All the human beings heard the heart-pounding sound.

"Monsters, monsters are coming!"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted.

People gritted their teeth one after another, and the speed that was already at the limit couldn't help but speed up a few points.

Even so, the voice was approaching at a rapid pace.

A man could not contain his curiosity, and as he ran, he turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

His pupils dilated, and his footsteps stopped, staying where he was.

A man running behind him tripped and fell to the ground when he suddenly stopped, "Bastard!

The man struggled to get up, but when he saw the man's blank gaze, he couldn't help but look behind him.

"Weird...... Monsters!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

The monster with three dog heads, on all fours, was running towards them.

The people who were running heard the voices of the two and didn't even dare to turn back, they only hated their parents for not giving them two extra legs.

But all these efforts were to no avail.

At the end of the day, they're just ordinary people.

The two men stood in place, their eyes glazed over, as if they had accepted their fate.

A group of goblins had come up to them and lunged at them.

A few seconds later, their traces of this world were erased.

The monster had already caught up.

In the eyes of ordinary people, its speed is like an afterimage.

Savagely crashing into the group of goblins in front of him, the monster frantically ran towards the group of humans.

The dog's head in the middle of the monster suddenly opened its mouth.

"Deserter...... Must die ......"

"Anna!"

"Anna!"

Alan jumped off the roof and ran briskly to the bakery.

It was a mess inside, just like it had been when he had left.

"I'm ......"

Anna crawled out of a corner cupboard.

Her eyes are still so clean, people can't help but have a feeling of wanting to protect.

"Are you alright...... It's so nice......"

Alan opened his arms and was about to hug her, but after thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong, and he just wanted to retract his hand, but he didn't expect Anna to take the initiative to hug her.

"Are those monsters solved?"

Burying her head in Alan's arms, ignoring the filth on his body, Anna asked softly.

"No, something unexpected ......"

Xiangyu was full of arms, Allen's face involuntarily turned red, and his breathing couldn't help but start to be short.

Fortunately, he did not forget that the danger had not been eliminated, and quickly pushed Anna away, grabbed her hand, and walked briskly towards the outside of the bakery.

"We have to leave now. ”

Anna gripped Allen's hand tightly, feeling a tongue licking at her palm, and two fiery clouds popped out of her face.

"The one in your palm...... What is it?"

"It's a symbol of the magician, called the devil's mouth. ”

Anna nodded plausibly.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the store, Old Oak jumped from the roof, his chest rising and falling, obviously tired.

Seeing Anna behind Allen, Old Oak frowned, but didn't say anything.

After taking a few breaths, he pointed in the direction of the front gate of Greystone.

"Let's go to the front gate. ”

Alan was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood.

The three-star monster left through the back gate, and once they walked through the back gate, there was a good chance that they would encounter that monster.

As long as you walk through the front gate, wait in the wild for a day, and then turn back to Greystone, the possibility of encountering that monster will be greatly reduced.

"That's it?"

Mia fell from the roof, looked at the hands held by Alan and Anna, and said coldly.

"Just for an ordinary woman, you don't hesitate to put us all in danger, you are really infatuated......"

Leaning against the wall, Mia raised an eyebrow, her words full of contempt.

"That's enough, Mia, now isn't the time to quarrel about this, we'll go now. ”

Old Oak left the sentence behind and turned and went up to the roof.

Mia stared at Anna for a moment before she snorted coldly and followed Old Oak.

"Am I giving it to you...... Sorry for the trouble......"

Anna looked up at Allen, who was covered in blood and looked exhausted, and said timidly.

"Say what. ”

Alan turned his head and looked at the little girl's pretty face, and couldn't help but touch it.

"I'm holding you, it might be a little bumpy. ”

As soon as the words fell, Alan actually hugged Anna directly in his arms.

With Anna's exclamation, Alan jumped and went up to the roof of the house.

The main reason why they walked on the roof was because there were still a few goblins wandering on the street, and in addition, walking through the roof was equivalent to walking in a straight line, much faster than walking from the street.

"That monster should be Baron Angelo. ”

It didn't take long for Alan to catch up with Old Oak and say beside him.

"It should be ......"

Before Old Oak could finish speaking, scarlet blood suddenly overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay...... The sequelae, it will be fine after a while. ”

The conversation between the two drew a turn from Mia, who was ahead.

She looked at the corners of Old Oak's bleeding mouth, frowned, didn't say anything, kicked her feet, and flew towards the roof not far away.

Just as the four of them approached the front gate, Allen's heart suddenly began to pound.

"Your right hand...... In the ...... of shaking"

Anna looked up and looked at Alan's face, her brow full of worry.

Alan lowered his head, a smile squeezing out of the corners of his mouth, "It's okay." ”

"Out of the city gates...... We'll be safe. ”

His right hand trembled.

Alan panicked.

It was the first time since the crossing that he felt so uneasy.

"Old Oak ......"

Without slowing down for half a minute, Alan turned his head to look at Old Oak.

"Do you feel it too?"

Old Oak turned his head, almost startling Allen.

Old Oak, who originally looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, has now become eighty or ninety years old.

Wrinkles spread all over the face, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken, revealing two huge bulging eyes.

When I opened my mouth, I couldn't see a few teeth in my mouth.

"You ......"

Alan's heart was beating faster.

All this, what the hell is going on!

Mia also turned her head, and when she saw the appearance of old Oak, she frowned.

"Alan, stay away from him!"

听到米娅那焦急的喊声，艾伦的脚猛地一用力，身体下意识的窜出几米远。

"I ...... It's okay......"

Old Oak opened his mouth, and a stream of scarlet blood poured out of his mouth.

No, the blood isn't scarlet anymore.

Their color is getting darker.

It's close to black.

Alan held Anna in one hand, and involuntarily reached into the sacrificial bag in his arms with the other.

There was nothing inside, except for the white mask that he had received from the woman.

Eren had no choice but to take the mask out, his right hand grappling tightly at the cold, cracked edge of the mask.

"Alan, what's the matter...... What's going on......"

Anna hugged Alan tightly with both hands, and even breathing became difficult as she watched Old Oak's increasingly strange appearance.

"Don't be afraid, there's me. ”

Alan sped up and came to Mia's side.

The four of them had already arrived at the city gate.

"Old Oak, don't come again. ”

Alan stood at the gate of the city, looked at the old Oak who came from behind, and shouted coldly.

Old Oak stood on the ground strewn with corpses and stumps, one hand on his chest, bent over his body, looking exactly like the old man who was about to sink into the earth.

Hearing Alan's voice, he stopped and barely raised his head.

Blood had turned black and dripped from his shrunken jaw.

That's the color of desire.

It was the blood of the monsters.

"Ugly man, I should have thought of it. ”

Mia stood in place, her eyes locked tightly on Old Oak, neither on her face nor in her words, there was not a trace of emotion.

Ugly?

Alan was puzzled, but he didn't say anything.

Old Oak opened his mouth, as if to say something, but more black blood poured out of his mouth.

Under his feet, there was already a pool of black blood.

Old Oak knelt down.

With his head down, his body twitched incessantly.

"Sacrifice me. ”

His voice was crystal clear.

Mia didn't say anything and stepped forward, the red light on her right arm flickering incessantly.

Alan's heart was beating wildly.

The mouth of the right arm is motionless, but the magic in it is rioting.

"Alan!

Frante's anxious voice came out of Alan's head.

Wrong!

The threat I feel doesn't come from Old Oak!

Allen's gaze snapped into the distance.

His eyes froze.

Is that...... The direction of the back gate!
