Chapter Eighty-Six: The Demon King and the Burning Village
There was a strong tremor in the space.
"Huh? What's going on again? Green clutched his chest and looked blankly in the direction of the village.
The kind of fluctuation that made people palpitate made Green feel a little uncomfortable.
Shaking his head and suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Green continued to the village.
Through the thick fog, the burning village could be seen in the distance, which made Green more and more worried. When Green arrives at the outskirts of the village, suddenly Thousand Shadows suddenly rushes in front of Green!
"Master, there is a situation!" Chikage stopped Grimm.
Green raised his eyebrows, and immediately activated the floating shield hanging from his back, and at the same time picked up his bow and arrows, and looked ahead vigilantly.
"It's me, don't be nervous." A figure emerged from the thick fog.
The person who appeared was the white-robed Assassin who had been abandoned in the village by Grimm.
"It's you." Finding out that it was an acquaintance, Green relaxed a little, "How's the situation in the village?" ”
"Very bad!" The white-robed assassin's voice was calm and indifferent, "That red dragon destroyed the gate of the labyrinth, and all the monsters in the labyrinth escaped. ”
"A ruined labyrinth? This is the first time I've encountered this. Green seemed a little excited, "I heard that the ruined labyrinth will turn into a monster lair, and every demonic night, endless monsters will turn into a wave of monsters and storm the surrounding towns?" ”
The white-robed assassin looked at the maid beside Green, "Who is this lady?" ”
"This is Chikage. Because she is a foreigner, she may not understand you. ”
"Foreigners?" The white-robed assassin looked the maid in front of him up and down.
"By the way, did you see the caravan that came with me?" Green asked the white-robed Assassin about the whereabouts of the Griffin caravan.
"Nope. It was so sudden that I didn't see anyone escape from the village. ”
Green looked up at the sky. High in the sky, a huge source of heat is hovering in the sky. The dragon seemed to be gone, but Beladonna and the others didn't come out.
Greene: "My companion may still be in the village, I'll have to go inside." ”
"Brave boy, I'll go with you." The white-robed Assassin seemed to appreciate Grimm's bravery.
Green raised his eyebrows and did not refuse: "Let's go to the tavern first." If Beladona hadn't escaped, she would probably still be in the tavern. ”
Green and his party hurried towards the village. As we got closer to the village, we could faintly hear the barking of dogs coming from the village.
Green's face sank: "It's a rabid dog." The monsters in the maze have escaped, we need to hurry. ”
Rabid is a mutated canine monster that will lose its mind once bitten by it. And the Rabid Dog Lord, the Soul Eater, will make the soul of the person bitten dissipate directly, and it is a very dangerous monster.
Green soon walked into the village. The village was filled with smoke, and the flames illuminated the whole village as if it were day!
Chikage glanced at the shadows on the ground. The light sources from different directions made it almost impossible to see shadows on the ground, so Thousand Shadows did not choose to sneak, but followed closely behind Grimm, while watching the white-robed assassin next to him vigilantly.
"Master, I don't like this man." Through psychic induction, Thousand Shadows whispered to Green.
"yes, I see." Green took his bow and stared at the hideous-looking rabid dogs in the village.
A herd of red and black hounds the size of a boar with angular heads roamed around the village, barking at the skyrocketing flames! When they spotted Grimm and his party, they barked twice in the direction of Grimm and rushed in the direction of Grimm and his group!
Green pulled the bowstring.
Shoot!
The rabid dog in the charge was killed instantly, and the glow of magic disappeared in a burst of magic. But the appearance of that rabid dog attracted several other rabid dogs.
Rabid dogs are very agile, but that's when fighting in close quarters. In the process of charging, these large dogs are not much stronger than the charging wild boars. In the face of Grimm's arrows, no rabid dog can get close to Grimm!
"Speed! These guys can't be killed. Green quickly cleared the rabid dogs from his field of vision, then headed straight for the tavern.
Luckily, the tavern's location is not too far from the entrance to the village. Unfortunately, the tavern was already surrounded by flames when Green arrived!
"If your friend hadn't made it, I'm afraid it would have been too late." The white-robed Assassin expressed regret.
Green's eyes narrowed: "I'll go in and have a look." ”
"Okay, I'll keep your guard out, you'd better hurry."
"Protective stance!"
"Flying!"
After empowering himself, Green rushed into the tavern like a rocket!
"Boom! ~"The fragile wooden building was mostly destroyed by Green's onslaught.
The white-robed assassin's eyes widened as he watched Green's actions.
In the firelight, Green saw charred figures and a blonde girl shrouded in a translucent protective shroud.
"Found it!"
Green rushed straight over, hugged the merchant lady and the hood, and rushed out.
Throwing a certain merchant lady to the ground, he reached out and knocked on the protective shield on her body.
Green: "Wake up!" ”
The merchant lady didn't react.
Green took a deep breath: "Drink!" ”
With a shout of rage, Green punched the shield.
"Click~" accompanied by a soft sound, and the protective shield shattered in response.
Watching Green's movements, the white-robed assassin raised his eyebrows.
"Wake up!" Green patted the girl on the cheek, and at the same time took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it into the girl's mouth.
Soon, the girl's face regained its ruddyness, and she opened her eyes in a daze: "I...... Where is this? ”
Looking at the girl who had regained consciousness, Green couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay." ”
"Hey~ man, now is not the time to chat, those puppies are here again." The white-robed Assassin lifted it up, and a crossbow bolt shot straight out of the Assassin's hand, plunging into the head of a rabid dog.
The rabid dog, with a wound to the head, ran forward for some distance before falling to the ground with a scream. At this moment, however, more rabid dogs rushed from the direction of the center of the village......
"I'll go first." Green picked up the merchant lady and flew straight up, rushing towards the outside of the village like a rocket squad.
"Wow, ahhhh ~" The merchant lady couldn't help but scream.
"Be quiet!" Green slapped Beladonna on the ass.
"Woooo~" Beladona, who was carried by Green like a sack, felt very aggrieved. Why not a princess hug?
The white-robed assassin looked at the rabid dogs that were rushing towards him, turned to Chikage, and said, "The two of us seem to have been abandoned. ”
Thousand Shadows glanced indifferently at the white-robed assassin and did not speak, chasing directly in the direction that Green had left. Chikage's speed was very fast, and when he encountered the rabid dogs blocking the way, he flipped his fingers and swept the blade of his sword, and he killed those rabid dogs that rushed towards him lightly.
Looking at the girl who was unparalleled among the dogs, the white-robed assassin was silent for a while, sneered, and raised his legs to chase after him.
