Chapter Twenty-Three: Cloud and Thunder Attacked
Lin Fan and his party were silent all the way, and finally returned to the mercenary group base at noon, and were just about to enter the door, but found that the gate had been locked from the inside.
"Hey, why is the door locked?"
Diesel yelled at the door, wondering in his heart, in the past, when they went to the inner city to purchase, although they would let two people stay at the base, the people who stayed behind generally did not lock the door, what happened today?
I heard a voice coming from inside the door:
"Little ...... Miss, are you back? ”
"It's me, what's wrong with you? What happened? ”
Elvina felt that something was wrong with the voice, and she trembled, as if she was very scared and nervous.
"Squeak~"
The door was opened through a gap, and one eye saw through the gap, and after confirming the identity of the outsiders, the doors were finally opened.
"Miss, Uncle Diesel, you're back!"
Without waiting for everyone to ask, a young figure sat directly on the ground, crying and looking very pitiful.
This young figure Lin Fan couldn't be more familiar with, his name was Anthony, a first-order fighter strength, and he was the youngest member of the Yunlei Mercenary Group, eighteen years old, two years younger than Elvina.
"Anthony, don't cry yet, tell me what's going on?"
Alvina was a little anxious, although Anthony was young, he had also been in the Cloud Thunder Mercenary Group for almost two years, and he was also extremely brave when hunting sea beasts, and he was never afraid to retreat, and now he must have experienced some terrible things.
Barry...... Barry he was ......! Anthony cried even louder, frightened by what he had just seen.
Barry, another member of the Yunlei Mercenary Group, is a second-order fighter strength.
"What's wrong with him? Say it quickly! Alvina jumped to her feet in a hurry.
"Let's go in first, and wait for him to calm down before asking." Lin Fan stepped forward and patted Alvina and comforted.
"Well, let's get him in first." Alvina sighed and walked in first.
Diesel helped Anthony to the training ground, and everyone followed, waiting for an answer.
Anthony's cry faded, and he looked at Alvina with teary eyes.
"Anthony, don't be afraid, we're all back now, let's settle something together." Elvina patiently guided.
Barita ...... He may have been eaten! Anthony stabilized his emotions and spoke with difficulty.
"Eaten?" Everyone was shocked by his words.
"You have to explain things carefully, what is going on?" Elvina frowned, her expression solemn.
"After you left, Barry and I stayed at the base and didn't go out, we have been practicing on the training ground, and when it was almost noon, Barry got up and said to go to the kitchen to get some food, and let me go over to eat after I finished practicing in a while, and then left.
But when I went to the dining room, I didn't find him, and when I was puzzled, I suddenly heard a fierce fight from the kitchen, so I hurried to help.
As soon as I arrived in the kitchen, I saw a long tongue wrapped around Barry so tightly that he couldn't move, I hurriedly rushed up and slashed at the tongue, trying to save him, but I didn't expect that the tongue was so hard that the knife couldn't cut it, leaving only a white mark, nothing happened, and then Barry was dragged away and disappeared without a trace. ”
Anthony looked around with trepidation, fearing that the tongue would suddenly come out again and drag him away.
"Tongue? So you just saw one tongue and nothing else? I don't know what the other party is? Lin Fan asked.
"I didn't dare to chase it out, I could easily take Barry away with one tongue, and he was invulnerable, I've never seen anything so weird, I'm really scared!"
Anthony cried out again, people often have an inexplicable fear of the unknown.
"You don't have to blame yourself, you can easily kidnap a second-order fighter, and your strength is at least third-order or above, it's useless for you to chase it out." Diesel patted Anthony and comforted.
"Could it be the revenge of the Blue Flame Chamber of Commerce?" Alvina looked at Lin Fan.
"Let's go to the kitchen first, maybe you can find something." Lin Fan and Ervina glanced at each other and did not answer directly.
Everyone came to the kitchen, pushed the door in, a foul smell came to the face, everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, at this time the back window of the kitchen has been broken, and the utensils in the room have also been knocked over a lot, obviously after a vicious battle.
After Lin Fan carefully turned around the kitchen with his breath, he pointed to the ruined back window, turned his head to Anthony and asked, "Did the tongue come in from here?" ”
"Hmm!" Anthony nodded.
Lin Fan, who received an affirmative answer, jumped out of the back window again, and after a while, he saw him jumping back in a hurry, rushing out of the kitchen, and taking a big gulp of fresh air.
"Are you alright?" Elvina and the others chased after her, worried.
"It's okay, it just stinks!"
Lin Fan waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and continued:
"I just took a closer look, and there is a fishy mucus on the back window and the overturned utensils, and there is a puddle of silt next to the sewer outside the back window, and the stench is coming from above, the other party should have escaped from the sewer, and the other party used his tongue to attack, so I suspect that the other party is not human!"
"Not people? What is that? ”
Elvina's thoughts had always been limited to the Blue Flame Chamber of Commerce's possible next revenge, and when she heard Lin Fan's words, she reacted, attacking with her tongue was indeed not a normal person's means, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of a monster: the King of the River, Tam!" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
As soon as he heard Anthony talk about the other party's use of his tongue to kidnap people, his first reaction was that Tam, a hero in the League game, specializes in using his tongue to attack, and then the remaining slime and sludge confirmed his idea even more, because according to the background of the League game, Tam lived in the sewers of Bilgewater.
"Tam? I thought it was just a legend, but does it really exist? Elvina cried out.
"At least judging from the current clues, the possibility is relatively high, if it is really Tam, it should not be the ghost of the Blue Flame Chamber of Commerce, this kind of monster will only follow its endless appetite, for Tam, how much do you know?"
Lin Fan looked at Diesel, here Diesel is the oldest, and he should know the most, he wants to confirm how much difference the real Dam knows from what he knows, and the most important thing is how strong he is.
"I don't know anything, it's just that the legend is that it is an insatiable guy who often eats people to satisfy his appetite, and the others don't know, after all, everyone who has seen it has already entered its stomach." Diesel smiled wryly.
"It's a bit tricky!" Lin Fan was also a little distressed, the other party's strength was unknown, so it was not easy to do it.
"It should come again, and the insatiable guy won't give up his prey!" Alvina was in a heavy mood and explained to everyone, "We've all been a little vigilant lately, and it's best not to act alone. ”
This kind of passive defense and the feeling of being unable to use it made Lin Fan feel a little aggrieved, and the ferocity in his heart was also forced out:
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I don't believe it, so many people can't cure a catfish, as long as she dares to come, we will give it a guard and wait for the rabbit, and catch the turtle in the urn!"
