Chapter 45: The First Sight of the Beast
Deciding to help Fenglu Town get rid of the intruding beasts, Yu Yi and his party changed their outfits and prepared to go. At this time, Yu Yi began to be curious about the enemy he had to deal with this time.
"No matter what land you are in, there is always a monster. It stands to reason that everyone should be used to these monsters. So what kind of demonic beast will be called a strange beast by them? He asked.
"As long as they can break their defenses and slaughter life-killing monsters, they will be called alien beasts." In this regard, Ying didn't feel that there was anything wrong. She tightened her belt and placed the spellbook in the wallet on her belt, and though she might not be of much help, she would undoubtedly follow her master.
"Whatever it is, just hope we find them soon. We're going to have to hire a wagon out of here. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be big trouble. ”
This is also what Yu Yi meant, now that the whereabouts of the dangerous demonic beast are unknown, it is naturally impossible for him to leave others in the inn with confidence. But in fact, he didn't feel much of a threat to any strange beasts, and he felt that the only thing that was troublesome was the process of finding the magical beasts. This town is not small, and if the monsters are hiding in it, it will definitely not be easy to find them all. And if the time drags on for too long, it is quite troublesome......
"Big brother, don't worry! Isn't it just looking for a monster, and I'll leave it to the little girl! Nothing escapes its nose! When Pearl woke up, the room was a bit lively. She swore by it as she kicked a black dog that had slipped under the bed.
Kicked by his master, the black dog pulled his head out of the ground. But it didn't come back in vain. "Jingle bell!" Its movements brought a crisp ringing of bells.
A few people looked down and saw that the black dog was holding a small silver chain tied to a bell in its mouth at this time. Apparently, it was the other guests who had inadvertently left it there. And this performance made Pearl also laugh proudly, she reached out and grabbed the silver chain and shook it in front of several people: "Look, I just said, it's a good hand at finding things!" ”
"I hope I can help." At this time, Ying poured a basin of cold water on the little girl. "If its sense of smell had been that keen, it would have discovered the existence of the Monster while we were still outside the town. But we didn't seem to respond all the way, right? ”
"Auntie, there are so many demonic beasts outside, does it have to call all the way?" The little girl retorted without showing weakness, and she dragged the little girl who was still wagging her tail at the feet of the silver-haired woman, and glared at her angrily.
Perhaps it was that that title made the look on Shadow's face even more cold, and he still said so plainly: "Even if that's the case, if we really face some dangerous demonic beast this time." It shouldn't even have the courage to track it, right? It's a biological instinct, you'll see. ”
"I said, Auntie, why are you ......?"
"Who is it?!"
The quarrel between the two women intensified, and they were about to quarrel. Yu Yi was about to step forward to persuade peace, but a shout from outside the door interrupted several people in the room first. It was the voice of the militia who were waiting for a few people outside the door, and he seemed to have encountered something.
And at the moment when the scream sounded, the energy lamp in the room was also black, and everyone fell into darkness. Needless to say, the militia must be in trouble. It's just surprisingly that after that exclamation, although there was still a lot of movement on the corridor outside, everyone never heard the militia's cries for help.
This is obviously not good news, Yu Yi felt a little bad, and in the current situation, the most likely trouble that the militia uncle encountered was naturally the so-called strange beast. "I'll go out and have a look." In the darkness, he spoke. As he spoke, he pulled out the blood fury from his back and prepared to walk out of the room in the dark.
However, it was a hand that held him. As soon as he turned around, a dazzling firelight appeared in front of his eyes. It's the fire magic of the shadows.
"I'll go with you." No matter how weak the fire magic is now, there is still no problem with lighting.
"I'll go too!" Seeing this, Little Pearl in the rear also screamed. Obviously, she was reluctant to give up her big brother to that annoying big sister.
After such a fuss, Bai Siling on the side seemed to have the intention of keeping up. Yu Yi only felt a little helpless, this is not going out to shop, in such darkness, it is obviously risky for so many people to go out rashly. "You all stay, don't mess with me." He patted his hand and grabbed the hand on his wrist and said.
The touch made Shadow bow her head slightly and withdraw her hand. In this way, Pearl naturally became honest.
Without any further delay, Yu Yi walked to the door. Just as he was about to reach out to open the door, something from the outside slammed into the door panel. The sudden muffled sound made him pause for a moment, and after slowing down for a few seconds, he remembered to open the door.
And when he pulled the door back, he already felt that an external force was also exerting on the door and pushing it inward. For a moment, he held his breath, his right hand clenched the blood rage, and his left hand pulled the door open.
Just as he wanted to deal a heavy blow to the guy outside the door, the black shadow fell to the ground as the door was opened, motionless. At this time, he realized that the guy leaning against the door panel was none other than the militia uncle.
Too late to take care of the middle-aged militiaman's injuries, Yu Yi stepped out of the door, wanting to see the appearance of the perpetrator. And in the end, it was he who got his wish and saw that thing. It's just that the light in the corridor is too dim for him to fully see what it looks like, and the only thing he can see for sure is a pair of eyes that are so red that they are about to ooze blood.
The figure didn't step forward again, but turned and slammed into the window on the side of the corridor, knocking out a huge hole with its body. Taking advantage of the situation, it jumped out of the third floor, then landed smoothly on the ground and flew away.
It wasn't until the thing fell outside the inn that Yu Yi saw the appearance of the thing a little bit in the moonlight. Indeed, the appearance of the long mane can be determined, and it is the so-called alien beast. At least, one of the alien beasts.
The demonic beast had already run away, and with this appearance, Yu Yi naturally couldn't catch up immediately. If it were him, jumping from the third floor, he would still suffer some damage. What's more, there is a wounded person behind him who still needs to be taken care of.
But when he turned around and looked at the militia on the ground through the light of the fire in Shadow's hand, he knew there was no need to take care of it. That militia uncle, who is already dead at this time, can no longer die, maybe for some monsters is harmless, but for humans, without a human head, it is considered dead.
Judging from the wounds, the militiaman's head was rudely removed, most likely by the monster bitten and then pulled off. And now, the severed head doesn't know where it went.
Now a few people can understand why after the militia was attacked, they didn't even make a sound for help. Perhaps, when he had just seen the monster and wanted to send out a cry for help, his mouth was already in another mouth.
"This is the beast, isn't it? I didn't expect to meet so soon. Yu Yi took his eyes off the corpse on the ground, after all, he was a person standing in front of him alive not long ago, and now he had turned into a cold corpse, which still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"He died a painful death." The little guy Pearl didn't shy away from the bloody scene, she crouched down and gently flicked the corpse's hand. "The fists are clenched so tightly that even the nails are already stuck in the flesh."
Indeed, in Late Moon Village, such a picture is already commonplace for her. For the painful death of people, I am afraid that no one present can have more say than her.
"Uncle's!" Hearing Pearl say this, Yu Yi's heart was even more uncomfortable. He had agreed to the militia's plea for help to rid the town of the strange beasts, but now, he had let the brutes kill them in front of him.
Seeing his angry appearance, for a while, the women next to him stopped making noise. Until he spoke again: "I'm going to slaughter these beasts for nothing." ”
"Imp, it's time for your black dog to prove what he's capable of. Come on, let it look around. At this point, Shadow turned to Pearl and said.
"Auntie, who do you call a little ghost?" Pearl said angrily, "Proof is proof, little girl, go smell and take us to the one who ran away to get something." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the black dog was hiding behind her feet, and she had no intention of tracking it at all.
Before the two girls could argue again, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway. "Hair ...... What happened? ”
Yu Yi naturally remembered that it was the voice of the mustachioed owner of the inn. Obviously, this guy waited until the movement upstairs had stopped before he dared to come up and find out. Thinking about the hole that was knocked out of the wall was enough for him to deeply feel the seriousness of the situation.
"The strange beast has appeared, and the dead man has died." Yu Yi replied truthfully.
"Dead people? Who...... Who died? The mustachioed man was already stammering a little in fright, but out of curiosity in his heart, he still walked towards the others.
After a few steps, he felt something kick under his feet, and he grabbed something on the wooden plank on the ground. He looked down with the lantern in his hand, and suddenly softened in fright. "Whew!" With an exclamation, he fell to the ground and curled up to the wall, but the smell of the wall made him look back, and then he realized that he was leaning against a blood-stained wall, and suddenly felt dizzy.
"Now you know who it is, right?" Yu Yi asked rhetorically, but he didn't have time to take care of the coward's feelings now, so he stepped forward and dragged the innkeeper directly from the ground: "Could it be that this demonic beast entered your inn, and you didn't notice it at all?" ”
"I didn't ...... No...... After I closed the door, I stood guard downstairs. Hear movement upstairs and catch up...... That's what it looks like. The boss said with a twitch on his beard.
As the voices of the voices in the corridor sounded, the doors on the third floor opened one after another, yes, there were no vacant rooms in this hotel. Apparently none of the other residents had a big heart enough to sleep peacefully at this time, and they all knew what was going on outside, but none of them dared to show their heads until they heard the voices.
"Then before dawn, you should honestly hide like a mouse, lest you die without knowing how you died." Yu Yi shook his head and handed the limp innkeeper to the attendants behind him, who were also panicking. His words were not just addressed to the timid innkeeper, but to the others present.
He took two steps back, but he turned around again and threw a gold coin at the crowd. Don't look at the darkness in the corridor at this time, but those waiters are accurate and steady in receiving gold coins. "This is my accommodation fee, you don't need to find me any money, for the rest of the money, you can wait until dawn to dispose of the corpse of that militiaman and bury it."
"The town will ...... about the burial" The waiter just wanted to say something, but was covered by his boss.
Yu Yi, on the other hand, was too lazy to take care of the small movements of a few people, and after taking a lantern from their hands, he walked towards the girls. Then the group left the hotel.
As soon as a few people stepped out of the hotel's door, the insiders locked it again. Yu Yi couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, there were obviously a lot of guards, mercenaries and the like in the hotel, but they chose to huddle in the room like civilians.
Even if these rooms can keep them safe, if no one solves the problem of the alien beasts, will they have to hide in the inn for the rest of their lives? The street, which was quieter than before, had already answered for these people.
"Big brother, where are you going now?" In contrast, the little girl standing in the open street was much braver than the seven-foot boys, and there was not even a trace of fear on her face. Her comfortable appearance was as if several people were on an outing.
Yu Yi looked at the direction where the demonic beast had fled just now and pointed, "Go in that direction and take a look." ”
"Aren't you going to join up with the other militia?"
"They can't help me, and I can't protect that many people." Yu Yi said, "To save this town, I must expel those demonic beasts as soon as possible, and there is no time to meet them and shout slogans." ”
"Sorry...... Little girl, I can't help this time......" The little girl said in frustration. Although I don't want to admit that what the big sister said is right, this is the truth.
"It's okay, I can find them."
Hearing him say this, the expression on the little girl's face also eased a lot: "That's right! We can listen with our ears, it's so quiet here, we can definitely hear something! ”
"I hope so." Yu Yike did not forget that the militia just became a cold corpse without asking for help. He walked all the way forward with the girls, and his increasingly anxious mood made his pace keep speeding up, but there was still no trace of any demonic beasts. Just as he took a deep breath in order to calm his mood, a smell of blood filled his nose.
