Chapter 2: Humanoid Monsters

After the meal, the caravan chartered the tavern, which also doubled as an inn business, with a total of more than 30 rooms on the second and third floors! Of course, the people who can live in the room are mercenaries such as merchants, as well as the mercenary guards are the most powerful, and most of the mercenary guards can only lay on the floor in the corridors on the second and third floors and the first floor, of course, even this is much better than being forced to camp on the trade road and face the cold!

Because of his good strength, Wright was arranged to live in a small room on the outermost side of the second floor, and on the left of Wright lived a family of four, the husband with his wife and a pair of daughters, who accompanied the caravan to the homecoming city. And living on the opposite side is also a mercenary guard, a very cold and arrogant young man.

Late at night, Wright sat on the bed and meditated, with his current level of mental power, meditation has basically replaced sleep, of course, every longer time, he also needs to sleep and relax, usually meditation alone is enough.

The cold wind was howling, and although it was loud, most of the merchants and mercenaries had been tired for a long time, and most of them had fallen asleep except for a few night watchmen.

Late at night, Wright sat on the bed and meditated, with his current level of mental power, meditation has basically replaced sleep, of course, every longer time, he also needs to sleep and relax, usually meditation alone is enough.

Suddenly, Wright seemed to hear a murmur in the wind, similar to the sound of wings flapping, opened his eyes, his steps were light and did not make a sound, he approached the window, his eyes looked out, and his pupils shrank!

The three figures were suspended in the air, as if they were talking to each other. The faces of these three figures were blurry and couldn't be seen clearly, but looking at the limbs and bodies, they were indeed humans, not some humanoid magical beasts. At the same time, the weapon in the hand proves it!

They have a pair of huge bat wings on their backs, and each time they slap the air, they form a rising buoyancy before they can be suspended in the air.

Thinking of the humanoid monsters that the two old men talked about at dinner, these should be these guys.

But what are these humanoid monsters? Humans are, of course, wingless. Could it be a vampire, or a winged man?

Wright thought silently, there are no such creatures as vampires in the Magnolia Continent, but there are in other planes, and Wright has read a lot of classics about ectopeous creatures in the academy. However, unlike the handsome bloodline on the earth in the previous life, whose main job is to fall in love with humans, the vampire in the world of Panlong is more similar to a kind of monster, closer to the vampire bride in the movie "Van Helsing" that he watched in his previous life, or the form of the vampire lord in the game "Lao Roll 5", and the difference between its body structure and human beings is very obvious!

If it's a winged man, but although there are many races of winged people in the different planes, they are all feathered wings, and these humanoid monsters are bat wings.

As Wright pondered the origins of these monsters, the three monsters seemed to have agreed on something, one monster flew out of the town to the west, and one monster seemed to fly east to a church in the Holy See of Light. The smaller one, on the other hand, circled in the air a few times, and then went straight to the tavern where Wright was, looking in the direction of the room next to Wright.

Wright's face was cold, and living in the next room was a young couple with their two daughters, both of whom were very cute and called him uncle, and he couldn't let them be hurt.

A flying knife appeared in his hand, and the fighting spirit poured in, and with a "whoosh" sound, the flying knife shot straight out from Wright's palm, and the fiery red fighting spirit flashed away!

The humanoid monster froze in the air, its head shattered, and slammed into the tavern wall by inertia, before falling limply to the ground.

In order to disguise himself as a warrior, Wright naturally can't release magic, but with his skill and fighting spirit, throwing knives is also extremely powerful.

Although not as strong as hand-to-hand combat, Wright's flying knife can easily inflict heavy damage on a seventh-level warrior within a hundred meters, and it is also quite a threat to an eighth-level warrior. However, Wright looked at this humanoid monster as if it was quite extraordinary, but he didn't expect to shoot it down with one move.

The flapping of the monster's wings was inconspicuous in the wind, but the sound of crashing and falling was loud, and several rooms were lit up with lights, and the more experienced mercenaries were clinging to the walls and scanning around.

Since Wright was disguised as a mercenary with good strength but average experience, he also lit the lamp and shouted.

In less than five minutes, the owner of the tavern, the steward of the caravan who chartered the tavern, and the mercenaries surrounded the monster.

Wright, relying on his strength, also squeezed into the front row. This humanoid monster is almost exactly the same as a human except for a pair of bat wings---- because this monster is naked and has no clothes, but this is also different from humans, after all, even if humans are seventh-level warriors or even eighth-level warriors, although they can resist the cold, they will not be deliberately naked in this weather.

Having vindictive protection doesn't mean you're not afraid of the cold. The humanoid monster was unclothed, but it was armed, and the female, or rather female, monster, had a sword in her hand.

Wright looked closely and found two more differences, one was that the skin of this monster was still slightly different from that of normal humans, there were no pores, and the color was a little gray. The second is that this monster's face is very weird, and the expression is weird, and there are strange dark silk threads in the eyes.

And if you look closely at the position where the monster's bat wings are connected to the human body, it feels very abrupt and awkward, and I want these wings to be installed artificially.

"Boss Lake, we're old friends, what the hell is going on with this monster!" Apaz's face was very bad, although this monster had heard some rumors, and this one had really seen it, it gave people a completely different feeling.

"I—I don't know!" The owner of the hotel, Lake, is an honest man, and even children can't be deceived when he lies!

Being watched by a group of merchants and mercenaries, Boss Lake turned white with fright.

A hand was placed on Boss Lake's shoulder, "Don't worry, let me ask Boss Lake!" "It's old Duck who speaks, but everyone, including Wright, is a little convinced by this old mercenary.

You know, just now this old man touched and pinched the body of this monster, which made everyone almost think that this old man had a 'necrophilia', after all, this monster, except for the bat wings, the difference between human women is very small.

However, the old man touched it for a while and gave his judgment on the strength of this monster.

"If this monster doesn't know how to fight, its physical fitness should be between level six and seven, and it's nothing great except that it can fly!"

Such a comment reassured everyone, although this is a small caravan, but there are seven or eight fifth- and sixth-level warriors, and Wright is also counted as one of them, and a seventh-level warrior is also invited! A monster between the sixth and seventh levels has nothing to fear, not to mention that this monster has been stabbed in the head with a throwing knife, maybe there is a master hidden in the caravan!

After a detailed discussion with Boss Lake, Old Duck turned around and called Apas Steward, several relatively large merchants of the caravan, and several strong mercenary masters, and under the firelight, Wright could see that Old Dark's face was not very good-looking.

"Several, this is not easy!"

"I said old Dack, what do you say, don't pinch it!" The strong man who spoke was none other than Wright's 'fellow countryman' Luther, and this strong man also had a fiery temper.

"What's the hurry, listen to me." Old Duck rolled his eyes, "Listen, the legend of this monster has been in Sunset Province for more than six hundred years, and it is said that every thirty years, a few monsters will come and take people!" Since there are very few people arrested, this is not a big deal, but according to my guess, there are few people arrested this time, a few people in each small city! There are hundreds of small cities in the entire Sunset Province, and even if half of them are arrested, there are quite a few people! ā€

A blond-haired man suddenly said: "I've heard what Old Duck said, I lived in Beilian City when I was young, there is such a saying!" But I thought it was just a story. ā€

"If you arrest someone, you will arrest someone, what does it matter to us!" This is a mercenary who is usually silent.

"Here's the problem!" Old Duck spread out his hand and said with a wry smile: "If you don't attack these monsters, at most you will capture a few people, tens of thousands of people in a small city, unless you are particularly unlucky, it's no problem." But once injured or killed, the person involved will be retaliated! More than one hundred and fifty years ago, an eighth-level warrior died in revenge, and several ninth-level powerhouses came to investigate, but there was no result! ā€

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces couldn't help but be a little ugly, even Wright changed slightly, an eighth-level warrior died in revenge, and it was difficult to say whether he could beat an eighth-level warrior on all the mercenary guards in the caravan.

Steward Apas immediately decided: "Then we will pack up our things tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, and go to the southeastern province, after we arrive, our caravan will be disbanded, I want to know if these monsters can hunt us down in the Empire!" ā€

"By the way, I also heard a news just now, these monsters never appear in the daytime, as long as they don't come to take revenge on us today and tomorrow, we can enter the Southeast Province the day after tomorrow!"

The mood of the crowd was slightly relieved.
