The rain was pouring down and the roads were slippery, and no difficulty could stop Iluri from returning home.

Don't get into trouble, don't get into trouble. Rena, please, nothing will happen!" Constantly shouting in her heart, Iruli was eager to grow wings and fly home immediately.

Carlin, who has choked his breath, is now a ticking time bomb!

It is certain that in such bad weather, it is not possible to bury the deceased, either according to custom, or out of respect for the deceased.

In other words, Carlin is now at home!

It took a long time for Iruli to travel from Nancheng District to Mage District, and now that the rain curtain was dim, she couldn't tell the time. But she clearly remembered that when night fell, it was the time when those monsters were rampant. Sisters, remember my arrangement?"

In the midst of the rain, a group of female elves lined up at the gate of the manor neatly wearing hooded cloaks, carrying scimitars at their waists, and their faces were awe-inspiring and solemn on the faces of the flying rain. Eslena glanced at everyone, paused, and lowered her voice: "It seems that the rumors in the city are true, and those strange things have evil traces behind them. Lockdown order, this is a last resort. ”

Sisters, we can't count on anyone else! Here, we depend on each other, and we can only rely on ourselves, on everyone, to protect our families from abuse. Do you understand?"

Understood!" replied in unison, echoing in the sound of the rainstorm.

These female elves are not cowards, their life experiences are more complicated than ordinary people, and they are much more bumpy. As a result, everyone has developed a tenacity, a united character, the courage to give everything for their families, and the courage to face evil.

And, of course, a neat and powerful martial arts.

Now let's start grouping!"

Esrena, who had been the captain of the rangers, had an angular face full of majesty, a pair of sharp eagle eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and the strengths and weaknesses of each person were synthesized in her mind, and the sisters were grouped into a team of three.

Everyone must remember who you are in a group with, and never act alone. If there is any disturbance, they must communicate with each other before choosing to investigate or return to report. I think everyone should understand that this time it is not the rabble of pirates that we will face, but the evil minions. Got it?"

Understood!"

Okay, now start allocating patrol areas. ”

The leased manor is not very large, but the location is not very good, with streets in front and behind, and long-abandoned mansions on the left and right, which makes it difficult to patrol.

Fortunately, the elves are good at climbing, and the left and right deserted houses can climb to the roof through the trees, condescendingly, and maintain enough vision.

As for the two streets in front and back, there are some residents scattered in the back streets, and the view from the street is also good. The main thing is this street in front of the door, which leads directly to the aqueduct, which is the top priority of the defense.

Excluding Iruli, who did not return, the number of female elves was only 24, and they were divided into 8 groups. On the roofs of the left and right deserted houses, one team is arranged, two teams are arranged in the back street, and two teams are arranged in the front street.

The remaining 2 teams, one of which was led by Esrena, chose the female elves with the best archery and knife skills as the emergency team. The last team is stationed in the front yard in case there are any accidents.

In Esrena's opinion, the arrangement was perfect. Unless those monsters crawl out of the ground, they can't invade the manor without a trace.

Once you find the monster's traces in advance, you can be flexible and choose to fight or evacuate.

Alright, sisters, take your place!"

At the sound of the order, these elves immediately and quickly began to move, rushing to their respective positions. Esrena, a daring artist, took Iriel and another older elf, Elbran, a former elven ranger, and chose a more precarious position, a fork in the road to the aqueduct.

Eliel. ”

A sloping beech tree at the fork in the road has become their hiding place, and the dense foliage blocks out the rainstorm, making the view clearer. Eslena held a curved bow in one hand, and her eyes wandered from side to side, which did not hinder her conversation: "Are you sure this is the direction?"

Yes. Iliel beside her nodded: "Follow the fork in the road on the left, and it is the canal that takes water." I've observed, there are ruined houses on both sides of the canal, and if, I mean, those monsters can follow the road, the only option is this fork in the road. ”

Hey, Eliel, you say those monsters look like frogs? Could it be that the frogs have changed?"

The slightly older Elbrand, with brownish-yellow hair like dead leaves, and turquoise tattoos on both sides of her forehead, was a special tattoo of an herbal juice when she and her sisters were connected to the magic web when she was a ranger.

Eslena also has tattoos, but not on her face, but on her back.

It's a frog, and it's the kind of disgusting toad. Eliel had a disgusted expression on her face: "It's disgusting, in groups." I now wonder why our lives are so bad, there are disgusting fish monsters in the Broken Rock Islands. Finally gaining a foothold in the city of Arabe, another group of frog monsters came. ”

Isn't that the lockdown order sealing these monsters in the city?" Albran couldn't understand the decision of Arabe City: "Don't they have powerful mages, can't they just destroy them?"

I'm afraid it's not that simple. Eslena shook her head slightly, "I've seen the mages of Arabe City, they do have powerful spells, but they also have weaknesses. Now there are fish monsters on the outside and frog monsters on the inside, and I always feel that there is something in common between these two things, but I still can't figure it out. However, there is no doubt that the lockdown order must have been given by the mages after careful consideration. This shows that the situation in Arabe is in a rather critical state. ”

Iluri has gone to inquire about the situation, and I really hope for good news. ”

The best news is that the rain has stopped. ”

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the manor, in a dimly lit room. Uncle Carlin's corpse, lying quietly on a straw mat. According to Iruli's instructions, even if she dies, she must die cleanly. The corpse went through a simple episode, the wounds were bandaged with a burlap, and they were also changed into clean clothes, and their faces were covered with a black cloth.

There were people around me who died, and everyone was very sad and nervous.

As Esrena's family, these relatives are not actually elves, including little Joel, who were originally slaves enslaved by pirates. Eslena and her elven archers robbed a pirate ship with the intention of returning to the Eternal Forest, but they lost their way at sea with no sailing experience.

Eventually, they encounter another notorious group of pirates. After a fierce battle, the pirates were defeated, and the elves, who had been adrift at sea for a long time, had to choose to dock because of lack of supplies.

Back on the island, the elves, out of empathy, freed the slaves and took revenge on the pirate tongue cutting off as a slave. Over time, they gradually became family.

At the door of the morgue, sat two middle-aged men, both of whom were Carlin's former friends, Triem and Conca, staring silently at the rain curtain with a heavy heart.

There are a lot of rats in the South City, and in order to prevent Carlin's corpse from biting it, they volunteer to guard the corpse.

Alas...... "Conka, who had a dark complexion and a wrinkled face, looked back at Carlin, who was still talking and laughing yesterday, but now lying on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Man, I'm in the same mood as you. Trim shook his head: "It's really not easy for people to live well. ”

Conca was silent for a moment: "It would be nice if he could die peacefully, but Carlin, who knows what happened to him? And Sokem and Piseco, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't be able to come back alive. ”

Buddy. Trim patted him on the shoulder, "Let's get a little more open, it's better than when we were slaves to pirates." Rena and the others are good people, and they have been very protective of us. ”

Well. ”

There was silence again, save for the sound of torrential rain crashing on the ground.

Hiss~"

Conca sniffed suddenly, and he smelled a strange smell, like the smell of dirt after rain, but it was even stronger.

Soon, Trim's brow furrowed, and he whispered, "Man, do you smell a stench? Like, like a rat has been dead for a long time." ”

You smell it too?" Conca was a little surprised: "I just smelled it, it must have been a rainstorm that washed dead rats out of the dirt or something?"

Trim sniffed carefully for a moment and shook his head, "No! ”

The two of them turned back together, and in the dimly lit room, Karin's body could be vaguely seen in place, but the smell was getting stronger and stronger, and it was coming from the room.

Odd. Is there rain leaking in the room?" Conca grunted, pricking up his ears and narrowing his eyes as he carefully discerned.

Suddenly, Karin's corpse shook violently, quickly and for a short time.

Just as he was staring intently, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder, which frightened him, and when he turned his head, he saw Trim's eyes wide and he swallowed heavily.

Companion...... Man, I just saw Carlin move. ”

Did you see that too?"

The two looked at each other, their faces full of surprise.

At this moment, Karlin's corpse moved again, more widely, and his arms shook like chaff, and his entire body began to squirm.

What the heck?

The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment, then Conca swallowed and spitted: "Man, Karin...... Isn't he dead yet?"

"Carlin is their old buddy, and he doesn't have much fear psychologically. Trim boldly stepped into the room, and Conca followed.

As they watched, Carlin really moved, and it moved faster and faster.

Carlin?" Trim crouched down in front of him, screamed tentatively, and slowly untied the black cloth with his hands.

Then, the whole person was stupid.

Under the black cloth was not Carlin's face at all, but a green, bruised, slightly shriveled, triangular head that looked like a frog.

Oh, my God!

Trim gasped.

In the next second, 'Karin''s green eyes and face suddenly opened.
