The representative of the Kate Comptoir flew out directly and smashed on the two guards behind him.

The huge impact force made the other party and the two guards behind him become a gourd rolling on the ground, and even the other two merchant representatives from Estaninburgh were affected.

The crowd fell to the ground.

The groans of pain rang out, but they stopped abruptly.

Because, the [Dark Medicine Spear] in Qin Ran's hand sparked.

Bang!

After a second of charging, the muzzle of the [Dark Potion Gun] erupted with the maximum number of air bullets.

These air projectiles, which were judged to be powerful enough, were activated in a fan shape at an angle of 120°, instantly enveloping and piercing the body of the creature in front of Qin Ran.

From Qin Ran's kick to the shooting, it was only a little more than a second.

Those present did not react at all.

It wasn't until seconds after the gunfire fell that the men screamed.

"Murdered!"

"Who are you?"

"Why did you shoot?"

"Put the gun down!"

Such shouts come and go.

The guards who rushed back from a distance were even more unsheathed swords, and the muzzles of the arquebuses were all aimed at Qin Ran, and Pol, who was standing behind Qin Ran, took out the arquebuses without hesitation, and pointed back at these guards without the slightest concession.

Pol still doesn't know why Qin Ran shot.

But this did not prevent Pol from choosing to stand in Qin Ran's camp.

He thinks it's right.

In fact......

The same is true.

The next moment, there was a sneering sound from the corpses.

The corpse, which should have been lifeless, swelled up and turned into monsters two or three meters tall, with gray skin and sharp teeth.

However, the essence of the corpse has not changed.

There is no change in the wounds on their bodies.

Death, long since enveloped them.

"What happened?"

"How could the grown-ups?"

The exclamations appeared again, but this time, each of the guards lowered their weapons, and they looked at Qin Ran with puzzled and inquiring eyes, expecting an answer.

Qin Ran looked at the remaining representatives in the previous negotiations.

Swept by Qin Ran's gaze, those merchant representatives retreated in fear.

They hadn't forgotten the way Qin Ran shot directly without saying a word just now.

Only, just as they took a step back, a scream rang out.

"Ahhh

The man in the cloth hat and cotton coat chosen by the merchants suddenly let out a painful roar from his mouth.

Then, something horrified everyone.

The other person's body began to disappear!

Starting from the limbs, it is as if it is being swallowed by something that cannot be seen.

Little by little.

The crowd even heard the sound of flesh and bones being chewed.

"Help, save me!"

The other party sensed the coming death and began to ask for help.

But immediately, the tongue in the other person's mouth also began to disappear.

And as the tongue disappears, the other person's head is also quickly devoured.

Soon, all the limbs of the other party, including the head, disappeared, and only a piece of torso fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at the torso that was constantly spilling blood, their faces turned pale and panicked.

"What the hell is going on?"

The head of the guard from Kate Comptoir couldn't help but ask.

However, not a single person answered him.

Because......

More screams followed.

The merchants who had paid the 'fee' before fell to the ground one by one.

They, too, are being devoured.

However, the direction and degree of devouring are different.

Some start with the hands, some start with the feet, and then, some hands and feet are swallowed and it ends, and some are swallowed by a small half of the body, which is considered to be the end.

Naturally, the latter simply won't survive.

As for the former?

Screams rang out one after another.

"Come on, bandage them."

"Hurry up!"

The head of the guard of the Kate Comptoir yelled at his men.

Then, he walked straight to Qin Ran and Pol.

After a little scrutiny, he judged who was the leader of the principal's guards, and bowed to Qin Ran.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry for my previous recklessness, and I beg your pardon."

"I'm Kagu, the leader of the caravan's guards."

"If you may, can you tell me what's going on here?"

The leader of the guard, named Kagu, asked politely.

Being able to become the head of the escort of Kate's firm responsible for the security of the Molsa caravan from Etaninburg to the border, Kagu's ability is naturally undoubted, but the most important thing is Kagu's insight and adaptability.

After more than ten years of running a business, Kagu has seen too many things.

With these things as a guide, Kagu already knew what to do when he encountered the unknown.

Sometimes, a little more etiquette isn't a bad thing.

"Evil has crept in."

"And, using its own characteristics, it has made some contracts."

"They are all people who have voluntarily signed a contract."

After Qin Ran briefly described the general situation of the matter, he walked directly towards the dense forest on the side.

Pol wanted to follow, but Qin Ran's speed was too fast, and as soon as Pol took two steps, there was no longer Qin Ran's figure.

Shaking his head helplessly, Pol turned around again.

"You're Mr. Pol, aren't you?"

"Can you explain it to me in detail?"

"Or how can we prevent this from happening again?"

Kagu called out Bol's name quickly and accurately.

And in the bottom of his heart, Kagu thought of Pol's details.

A merchant who eats mixed rice in Mursa on the border.

Ability is good.

Very brave.

Broke the mold.

But they won't take the initiative to make trouble.

A safe 'guest'.

As the head of the guard of Kate Comptoir, who can join the convoy and who needs to pay attention, Kagu is naturally clear.

And Pol is not surprised.

If the other party doesn't even have such ability, he will have to wonder what the other party relied on to get into this position.

By face?

Definitely not.

The other party may have looked okay when he was young, but the perennial running of the merchant had already made the other party's face full of wind and frost, his hair was bald for more than half of his hair, and his head reflected the brilliance in the moonlight and firelight.

No matter how good-looking a person is, once he is bald.

Then there is really no help.

Not only does it look old, but it also makes people feel obscene.

It's far less good than simply shaved.

Touching his thick hair, Pol said slowly.

"What happened, I can't be sure for the time being."

"But, we're safe."

"After all, we have Lord Colin here."

Pol said confidently.

"Lord Colin?"

Kagu frowned hesitantly.

"Believe me, there's nothing safer here than by the side of Lord Colin!"

Pol emphasized.

Kagu seemed to be convinced, nodded, and then, turning around, ready to go to reassure his subordinates and the others.

However, the moment he turned around, Kagu lowered his head slightly, but a sad smile leaked from his face, and he muttered from his throat.

"Really?"

Only he could hear such a voice clearly, and he didn't worry about being heard at all, but at this moment, a faint answer suddenly came from behind him-

"yes."
