Palladia followed Qin Ran's line of sight and looked in the direction they had come.

I don't know when a figure appeared there!

But!

Definitely not human!

The tattered cloak covered the body, and the gaps and holes could not cover the body at all, revealing the scarlet bones of the other party, under the hood, the soul fire in the eyes kept beating, and in the hand was holding a string of rosary-like things, as they walked, the rosary turned as they turned, and the skeleton let out a rattling laugh.

The monster in the air also spotted the skeleton, and as if frightened, it flew high into the air at once, and flew into the distance without looking back.

But, just as the monster was about to leave Palladia's field of vision—

Rumble!

Flesh and blood shattered.

Without the slightest warning, the monster in the air directly turned into a skeleton under Palladia's gaze, and just fell from mid-air.

And it didn't fall to the ground.

Instead, along with the shattered flesh and blood from before, the skeleton flew straight towards the skeleton.

Quack, quack.

Let out a strange laugh again, the skeleton opened its mouth, as if sucking, sucked the flesh into the body, and the huge skeleton turned into sparse bone fragments, burrowing through the cracks of the tattered cloak, and sticking to the skeleton's body one after another, but the skeleton's body shape did not change in the slightest, but the scarlet color became more and more intense, and a faint fishy smell permeated the surroundings.

Moreover, the rosary in the skeleton's hand also rotated faster and faster.

Looking at the spinning rosary, Palladia felt dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit.

It's not just speed, it's also disgust and fear that comes from the body's instincts.

It's like seeing a scarlet skeleton in front of you.

It's a creature at the top of the food chain being crushed by a creature at the end.

If it weren't for Qin Ran pulling him, he would have collapsed to the ground at this moment.

What kind of monster is this?!

Palladia was horrified.

He had never seen such a monster before.

I haven't even heard of it.

In the information he had worked so hard to gather, there was no information about the 'Winter Night War' at all.

But what made Palladia lose sight and frighten the new people had just begun.

I saw the scarlet skeleton and suddenly raised my hand.

The last moment, it was still bright, and it was just the sky in the west of the sun, and it was ...... in an instant It's black!

A crescent moon takes the place of the sun!

The moonlight fell, and the bright moonlight bathed the whole city.

All of a sudden, the quiet city seemed to wake up.

Roar.

Roar.

Shouting and swearing.

Wailing.

The sound of battle.

One after another.

The scarlet skeleton undoubtedly liked the sound very much, and after opening its arms and making a gesture of embrace, it turned around and slowly returned to the way it came.

Palladia used all her strength to keep her eyes away from the scarlet skeleton.

He didn't know if his gaze would be noticed by the other party.

But he knew that the other party was far more terrible than he imagined.

Another day!

This kind of thing is rare, even in legends.

And the existence that can have such abilities, each has its own name.

Of course, there is also a general term.

People call them God!

Is that guy a god?

Or is it the bones of God after death?

Why is the other party here?

One question after another appeared in Palladia's heart.

But there is no answer to any question.

Suddenly, Palladia's already ugly face changed again.

He thought of the other herders.

Face the scarlet skeleton......

No!

There was no need for that scarlet skeleton, the monsters that lacked the restraint of sunlight were enough to wipe out the others.

Palladia, of course, doesn't want all the herders to have an accident.

After all, there are a few guys among him who have a good relationship with him.

But......

There was nothing he could do.

He had no confidence at all, and returned to the monster-infested city to rescue those people.

As for speaking to Qin Ran beside him?

Let's not talk about the identities of both parties at the moment.

Even under normal and equal circumstances, Palladia does not know what price to use to make others 'work for him'.

And forgetting life and death, and putting yourself in it?

Palladia can't do that yet.

Sorry.

Silently said in his heart, Palladia was ready to follow Qin Ran away from the city at this moment.

At the same time, in the bottom of her heart, Palladia also admired Qin Ran more and more.

If it weren't for the person in front of him, he would probably have fallen into that desperate situation at this time.

But just when Palladia's heart was full of joy, this herdsman from the Southern Gem Region was stunned to see that Qin Ran was actually walking towards the city at this moment.

"Y-What do you want to do?"

Qin Ran's sudden behavior caused Palladia's voice to stammer.

"Go back."

Qin Ran said lightly.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Do you know what you're going to face when you go back now?"

"It's full of monsters!"

"If you go back, you'll die!"

Palladia's voice unconsciously raised a point.

Even in the covenant state of the [Stone of Siodi], Palladia is still very persistent in the face of death.

He didn't want to die yet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have struggled for a while, and then signed the [Stone of Sioudi] with Qin Ran.

He's trying to survive.

Even if it's just a lingering breath, it's good.

And now, Qin Ran is going to die!

This is unacceptable to him!

"I'm not going!"

"I'm going to stay here!"

"It's safe here!"

Palladia insisted.

"It's messy, there's a chance!"

"The monsters are all out, their lair ......"

"No guards!"

Qin Ran said and walked out.

Palladia was stunned.

The monster's lair is no longer guarded!

The fear is still there.

But a burning heat rose in my heart!

Moreover, I can't hold it down!

Looking at Qin Ran, who turned around and walked away, the scorching heat finally washed away the fear.

Palladia not only dispelled the feeling of paralysis just now, but also filled her whole body with vitality.

He hurried after him.

"Wait for me!"

"We have a covenant, do you remember?"

"Of course I'm going to follow you!"

……

With his fiery red hair, Ponnard stands out among the herdsmen.

Of course, it's not just because of the fiery red hair.

And because of the strength!

Of the entire makeshift camp before, with the exception of Lucan, Ponard was recognized as the strongest.

Even, Ponard thinks he's the strongest!

Because, he has brains more than Lucan.

As we all know, the Northlanders are recognized as reckless.

The Gulf region, on the other hand, is known for its shrewdness.

Whether it is business or economy, the Gulf is far beyond the Northland, and even other regions, which makes the Gulf people very proud.

The same is true of Bonard.

In the hard-to-go strength, he admits not to be Lucan's opponent.

However, the 'Winter Night War' is not just about strength!

Brains are still needed!

And......

Talent!

Ponard trusts his mind very much.

And talent?

Ponard is even more confident!

Otherwise, he would not have spent all his efforts and paid a great price to become one of the representatives of the Bay Area in this 'Winter Night War'.

For the special items scattered throughout the city, Ponard has been tempted for a long time.

Especially when his talent told him that there were very valuable treasures in that tall building as soon as he entered this world, Ponard rushed over excitedly.

However, he did not act immediately, but silently observed everything.

When he found out that Lucan was helpless against the monster in the office building, Ponard immediately shifted his target.

Although the treasure is good, the small life is more important.

His talent guided him to look at those hidden, remote places.

The depths of several alleys.

After easily eliminating a few skinning monsters, Ponard made a small gain.

A few potions in my arms are of great value when placed outside.

More importantly, it is easy to come and there are not so many hand tails.

Unlike outside, although he can 'perceive' a lot of treasures, those treasures are either extremely dangerous in themselves, or they will pull him into the whirlpool of trouble when he reaches out at will.

As for the money?

Born extremely wealthy, Ponard had no regard for money at all.

He doesn't think money is everything.

He wants to pursue something of higher value.

That's why he became a herder.

Compared to these, his original life?

Worry-free food and clothing, fine clothes and jade food, beautiful clothes and beautiful clothes?

Sorry, that's not what he wanted.

What he really wants is the life he has now!

This process and result of relying on himself to harvest treasures is what he has been pursuing!

The harvest after harvest made Bonard very happy in his heart, and he began to set his sights on what attracted him even more-

Bank.

Or, to be precise, a long-abandoned bank in the city.

The attraction from there is only a little less than that from the tall buildings.

However, it was the ...... that really attracted Ponnard Ground floor!

The fight with those skinning monsters just now was enough for Ponard to understand what the weaknesses of these monsters were.

Fear of the sun and hiding underground is nothing.

By the way, it is also reasonable to bring the collected treasures underground.

And he?

Definitely not going!

Looking up at the sun just setting west, Ponnard made up his mind.

After finding the treasure hidden in the abandoned bank, he left the city for a while.

At least wait for dawn again, or after the Inhuman group and the weird group enter, they are looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

Ponard clenched the dagger and magic gun in his hand and stepped into the bank.

No search is required.

Following the breath from his perception, Pennard walked directly into the vault under the bank.

The security system here has long since been broken.

The alloy door opened directly.

The road was unimpeded, and after daring to drop several skinning monsters, Ponard came underground.

In his field of vision, a box glowing with silver light had already appeared.

However, instead of rushing over immediately, Ponard pulled a special grenade from his belt.

It's like a magic gun in your hand.

All are branches of ancient alchemy.

Bite!

Pull open the safety and throw the grenade with a flick of your hand.

Rumble!

In the roar and explosion, the dazzling brilliance flashed out like this.

Like the sun.

A huge skinned monster hidden in the shadow on the side of the silver treasure chest burst open without a snort.

Looking at the exploding corpse, Ponnard smiled.

It's as if his talent allows it to perceive these treasures.

These treasures also have a fatal attraction to these monsters.

And the better the treasure, the more powerful the monster will naturally be entrenched next to it.

Ponnard was sure that the reason these monsters were entrenched here was to open the chests and devour the treasures inside.

It's a pity that their side has already been fully prepared.

Except for the bait at the beginning.

Most of the treasures are protected.

Those boxes aren't just for stuffing.

The chest, which is a combination of human, inhuman, and strange powers, is not something that just some monsters can crack.

Stepping forward, Ponard opened the box.

Looking at one of the rings that appeared inside, Ponnard couldn't help but smile.

Just by looking at the runes on the ring, Ponnard was able to deduce that this was an extremely high-quality, very rare offensive ring.

As for what it is, you need to figure it out and experiment slowly.

His mystical knowledge was not enough for him to see what it was at a glance.

Without a hurry to put the ring on, Ponnard packed it into his backpack along with the silver box, and then turned and walked out.

He was ready to leave the city full of treasures for a while.

However, when Ponnard stepped onto the ground, his face changed abruptly.

It's dark!

He looked at the dark sky outside in disbelief, and subconsciously took out a potion to dispel illusion and poured it straight down.

A cool sensation permeates the forehead.

However, the darkness did not change.

Not an illusion!

But it's still early afternoon, how can this be?!

Penald's eyes widened.

The sudden accident let him know that something was wrong.

Listening to the roar in his ears, Ponnard retreated underground without hesitation.

There is a safe in the bank vault.

The alloy gate was enough for him to withstand most dangers.

And, as he had checked when he had just entered, the vault was a two-way lock from the earlier years.

The outside opens, requiring three keys and a password.

And to open it from the inside, you just need to lift the handle.

The plan is good.

Accidents are common.

Rumble!

Just as Ponard had retreated into the steps of the underground vault, a tall, burly figure fell behind him.

"Lucan?!"

Looking at the person who fell to the ground, Pannard exclaimed, and when he saw a monster with a bull's head, a human body, ten meters high, and a strong and unspeakable monster outside, his face was instantly ugly.

To make matters worse, the monster saw him too!

And, he also showed a cruel smile.

The bull's mouth overflowed with fangs.

Without hesitation, Ponard grabbed Lucan's arm and wanted to run down.

He wanted to leave this stunned bastard behind.

But he alone was not sure how to deal with the monster.

Alloy safes don't necessarily stop each other.

Even the height of this passage should be able to limit the other party.

Throwing Lucan into the vault, Ponnard turned and closed the door.

Just as the door of the safe was about to close, Pannard clearly saw that the ten-meter-tall minotaur had shrunk down.

Reduced to a height that can walk through the passage normally.

What a monster this is!

Frightened, Ponard closed the door of the safe with even greater speed.

Bang!

The door to the safe closed tightly.

Ponard breathed a sigh of relief.

Lukan on the ground also shook his head, gradually getting rid of his vertigo.

"You guy, you almost killed you...... Ahhh ”

The word 'I' in Ponard's mouth didn't come out, and it turned into a series of screams.

At some point, cracks appeared on the solid vault floor.

It's blazing fast!

Almost instantly, the entire ground collapsed.

Before Ponard and Lucan could react, they fell into it.
