Chapter 247: An Unknown Hero
Rowling, who was walking forward, suddenly heard a small sound coming from a house not far away.
The sound echoed in Rowling's ears like a low sob, and Rowling easily locked onto the house from which the voice came.
Thinking back to a similar experience before, Rowling knew that the room where the sound came from should be the same creature that existed before.
Rowling noticed that the only difference from her previous experience was that this time, the sound did not disappear immediately after appearing, but continued to come out. There seemed to be endless pain or boundless fear in this low sob.
Coming to the outside of the room where the noise came from, Rowling was about to push the door open, but the movement suddenly stopped.
In Rowling's mind, the previous experience seemed to resurface. At that time, in the deep room, a strange-looking creature stared at her like this, which made Rowling extremely frightened, and even screamed.
Thinking of the house in front of her again, this sense of fear appeared in Rowling's heart again, and listening to the low sobs in her ears, Rowling's outstretched hand couldn't help but settle there.
At this time, in Rowling's ears, Rod's words came again.
"If you're afraid, then crush your fear."
Rowling recalls Rod's actions, and when he realizes that he is afraid, he kills the creature in the room.
Rod's move shocked Rowling at that time, even in hindsight, Rowling would secretly complain in her heart, thinking that Rod's way of handling it was too extreme, but at this time, until she really stepped into the room, Rowling understood what the significance of Rod's move was.
Rowling knew that the creature in the room, in addition to its terrifying appearance, was actually extremely weak, and even ordinary children could easily be hit with sticks, and the only thing she needed to overcome was the fear of the unknown in her heart.
After figuring this out, the originally deep room in front of her was not so terrifying in Rowling's opinion.
Rowling overcame the obstacle in her mind. Fear had completely disappeared from Rowling's heart.
Rowling immediately pushed open the door and looked inside.
This room wasn't big compared to the houses on the surrounding streets, but Rowling noticed at a glance that three creatures similar to the previous ones had appeared in this room.
The one in the middle, the same creature Rowling had seen earlier in the city, was weeping.
Although she was treated by Rowling, the creature did not fully heal from her wounds. After escaping here with all his might, the creature lost the strength to hold on, and just fell to the ground, the only thing he could do was cry quietly.
Beside him, two other creatures were tending to him.
Seeing this scene in her eyes, for a while, although these creatures still looked terrifying, Rowling no longer had any fear, on the contrary, in Rowling's heart, there were more doubts.
After spotting Rowling outside the door, the creatures in the room became even more frightened, and they didn't even bother to deal with the creature that had fallen to the ground, and immediately fled towards the interior of the room.
Seeing this happening, Rowling was about to enter the room and ask the creature on the ground about it. Suddenly, Rowling's arm was firmly grasped by the centaur leader behind her.
Rowling turned back, only to find that the centaur leader's gaze was not on her at all.
Following the centaur leader's line of sight, Rowling noticed that in another room in the back, a creature had appeared at some point.
The creature was indistinguishable from the creatures in the room, and was very similar in appearance, with a bony body, extremely wrinkled skin, and not a single hair on it.
The moment she saw this creature, as a hero's instinct, Rowling immediately confirmed in her heart that this creature was also a hero.
Also as a hero, the Centaur Leader apparently spotted the creature before Rowling did, and confirmed his identity as a hero. At this time, the centaur leader had already grasped his battle axe and aimed it at the hero who appeared in front of him, ready to fight.
On the side of the street, the vampire is no longer hiding, revealing its body directly, turning from its original bat form to its main body, and if it finds something wrong, it will immediately take action.
During this time, vampires have been staying with ghost dragons. After absorbing a lot of nether energy from the ghost dragon's body, the vampire has gained a lot of improvement, both in terms of his own spiritual intelligence and combat ability.
Rowling noticed that the hero couldn't help but take a few steps back after seeing the undead creatures around him. As soon as something is not right, the hero will immediately flee back into the room.
Rowling realizes that this hero is not strong and has no malice, on the contrary, she may be able to get a lot of useful information from him.
Thinking of this, Rowling broke free of the centaur leader's grasp and took the initiative to walk out of behind the centaur leader, walking towards the hero's position.
Seeing this, the centaur leader immediately followed Rowling from behind, and together they approached the house where the hero was.
For the Centaur Leader, due to his advanced Scouting skills, a simple observation of this hero reveals that he is not really good at fighting, and like the creatures around him, he cannot pose any threat to himself.
Remembering Rod's previous instructions, in this case, the centaur leader would not have any way to stop Rowling. But if the creatures in front of you are too strong to be able to deal with Rowling, the Centaur Leader will still eliminate these threats as soon as possible.
When he agreed to allow Rowling to go it alone, Rhodes gave clear instructions to the centaur leader, and at this time, the centaur leader only acted according to these instructions.
Naturally, Rhodes would not put Rowling in danger, and when he found out that Rowling must delve into the environment in Valen, Rhodes could only let all the undead creatures under his command focus on protecting Rowling's safety.
High in the sky, the ghost dragon is still lurking quietly, and if Rowling encounters danger, it will immediately come down to support, which is Rode's last resort.
Even if Rowling encounters an attack by a strong enemy, under the protection of the centaur leader and vampires, as long as she drags it slightly, the ghost dragon will fall from the sky and destroy these enemies, which is why Rhodes dares to let Rowling move freely.
At this point, Rowling walked over to the house where the hero was.
Just as Rowling was about to speak, the hero took the lead and pointed to the room, motioning for Rowling to enter, and then walked straight inside.
