Chapter 1726: Hunting for the Shadow (22)

The atmosphere on the first floor was still extremely eerie, and the surroundings were dark and black, and only the firelight of the weapons in the hands of the tiger man and the cat man boy could illuminate it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info cats have been shining with the light of the Guardian Tower for many years, and they are used to it, and they don't even have a basic night light in the house at night.

The tiger searched everywhere in the darkness, and the first place to look was the backyard, of course.

"Auntie, Auntie?" Albert called in a low-pitched voice, subtly audible within ten yards, but it was just low enough not to attract the various monsters in the forest. Because Luffy's home is too close to the outskirts of Melson Stone, it is vulnerable to attacks by monsters, and now that even the light of the Tower of Guardians has disappeared, it will definitely be the first place for monsters to attack, which is quite dangerous.

"She's not here. Mutter also whispered, "I doubt she's still in this room." There is no human breath everywhere here. ＂

"You want to say that Auntie has already taken refuge in the Tower of the Guardians?" Albert asked, "She has bad eyes and legs, and she should have relied on the light of the Tower of the Guardians to move at night." Do you think she'll make it to the Gatekeeper Tower safely?"

"Hmph, what is this------" Mutter walked up to Albert and shone the ground with the fire from the dagger in his hand.

It's not a soft, slippery muddy floor, it's actually quite dry and made of dry soil. Normal people walk on the road with almost no footprints. However, there were strange holes in the ground, about the thickness of two fingers. One by one, the strange hollows stretched into the distance, and they did stretch in the direction of the Guardian Tower.

After a few glances, Albert understood that it was a hole made by Luffy's mother's cane. Because Luffy's mother is not flexible in her legs and needs the support of a cane to walk normally, she also subconsciously leans towards the side with a cane when she walks. The cat-man woman pressed almost all of her strength on the cane, and the support points at the end of the cane left one pit after another in the hard, dry earth.

This is indeed undoubtedly the "footprint" of Luffy's mother. Luffy's mother was undoubtedly walking in the direction of the Guardian Tower, and it was impossible to stay in the hut any longer.

Case------

"Let's go over and see what happens. The tiger said, "Follow me closely, I don't know what the situation in the city has become, you must be ready to protect yourself at any time." ＂

"How many times have I said that I'm not a combatant------ "Mutter snorted under his breath, "you should protect me!"

"Are you still a child?" Albert didn't bother to pay attention to Mutter, chasing the "footprints" left by Ruf's mother, and ran towards the Tower of the Guardians.

Although the crystal at the top of the Guardian Tower no longer emitted light, tonight was not particularly dark and windy, and the light of the stars and moon could barely illuminate the way to the Guardian Tower. The tiger ran all the way, realizing that the path he was running along was a straight line, the shortest route to the Tower of the Guardians.

I don't know exactly when Luffy's mother left for the Tower of the Guardians, but judging by the woman's walking speed, the tower stopped glowing on the way to the tower. What did Ruf's mother, who had poor eyesight, rely on to find the shortest route to the tower in the darkness?

"Wait, wait for me!" Albert couldn't help but run fast, and the cat-man boy chasing after the tiger was really chasing enough. When Mut saw that he was about to be left behind, he shouted for the tiger to stop.

"Oh, hurry up!" The young man of the tiger man had almost forgotten about the need to recuperate after the operation of Mutt, and when the young man of the cat man had the strength to catch up, the tiger remembered this, "Can't run?"

"No, no!" said Mutt, who was out of breath and replied in an extremely weak voice.

Albert picked up the cat-man boy in one hand and lifted him on his shoulder.

"Wow, aaa

"Didn't you say you can't run?" said the tiger.

"No, don't be in this awkward position!" said Mutter, blushing, "carry me." ＂

"The stinky boy asks for a lot. Albert then shifted his position and lifted Mutt on his back, grabbing the Luna Steel Scimitar that served as a torch with his free hand, and holding Mut's kitten butt with the other, "Hold me tight, don't fall behind." ＂

"Hmm------" Mutter whispered in agreement, though extremely reluctant. In order not to be thrown off in the fierce running, except for the hand holding the dagger, the cat man had to tightly wrap his hands around the tiger's shoulders and hold Albert's waist tightly with his legs. His face was pressed against the back of Albert's neck, and his ass was being held up by the tiger's large palm. Mutt's face turned redder and hotter, an indescribable embarrassment------ even though he knew that Albert only treated him like a child.

However, this embarrassment only lasted about ten minutes, because Albert ran very fast and soon came to the city.

At this moment, the city of Melson Stone is also black, and the only light source in the entire city is probably the weapons (torches) in the hands of Albert and Muth. Houses are closed, and places like taverns, which are supposed to be open at night, are also dark, and God knows what has become of the people inside.

Albert wanted to run over to see what was going on inside the bar, but he had to rush to the Guardian Tower to check what was going on, so he ignored the situation in the city and ran straight to the tower in the center of the city.

The first thing Albert saw when he came to the tower was a large barbed wire fence, which appeared to be electrified. But the cat-man guard on the nearby sentry didn't react to any howl he screamed. Albert then probed the cat-man's snort with his hand------ breathing was still there, but extremely weak. The cat-man guard lying on the table of the sentry appeared to be in an unusually deep sleep, not so easily woken up.

"Well, when are you going to let me down?" The cat-man boy who was carried by Albert complained at this time: "Isn't there no need to run?"

"Oh, yes------" Tiger put down Mutt with one hand, and did not forget to tease, "So you can walk on your own, little kitten?"

Mutt gave Albert a blank look as soon as he stood firm.

The tiger didn't see the protesting eyes of the cat-man boy at all, but shone a torch (luna steel scimitar) on the sentry panel, and found the switch that opened the large iron gate in front of the fence.

Boom------ in the midst of a muffled, sliding noise of the bearings, the iron gate opened. The fence around it was still electrified, so Albert wouldn't be so stupid to climb it, and of course he would go through the main entrance.

"Well, they ------ too," Mutter said, gesturing to the two guards in front of the tower. The doorman also fell to the ground and fell into an unusually deep sleep.
