Chapter 67: The Imprisoned Girl and the Monster

The search for the City of Angels has been going on for many days, and it has caused a certain amount of panic among the population, but nothing has been found. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Edric breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the elusive Chromie had left, but was furious that the wolf's search had been fruitless, and that he was very worried about the lord's obstinacy.

He really didn't understand how the wolf monster used to evade the search, you must know that this time he sent out the silverback that he had trained himself! These little ones are more obedient than the dire wolves, and at the same time more perceptive, even cockroaches hiding in the sewers will not be able to escape their search!

Could it be that the wolf monster is hiding outside the city? Edric felt that even the silverback wolf could not find the anomaly in the city, and he was afraid that this monster was from outside the city. But how did it get in? The soldier may snooze sometimes, but the silverback wolf won't!

Even the Rakshasa of the Seven-Nation Alliance can't sneak in silently!

"Your Excellency General, two more people who were attacked by monsters were found yesterday." Barrett's face was also very bad, and he received a report from the garrison early in the morning.

As if retaliating against them for a city-wide search, the monsters attacked the city's residents more frequently, but every time they arrived, they were always left with broken corpses, and now at least five people have been attacked!

Panic was evident in the city, and the residents gave the monster the name "Spring-Legged Jerry"! People swear that when this monster attacks, it is like a spring on its legs, and it can bounce up from far away and tear your throat with its claws!

Now two more victims have been added! Edric rubbed his forehead and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"The owner of Jack's dry goods store and his buddies." Barrett said with a blank face: "At present, the soldiers have cordoned off the place, and found the daughter of the owner of the dry goods store, but she is imprisoned in chains. ”

"You mean there's a live mouth this time? I'll take a look for myself. Edric's eyes lit up, he picked up the long sword on the table and tied it around his waist, and called the guards to hurry out.

This made the corners of Barrett's eyes jump, if he hadn't seen General Edric use magic with his own eyes, it was estimated that the old man would think that Xiao Yi had deceived him, but he was still very puzzled, why did His Excellency the General ask the young lady to learn swordsmanship......

Because of the monster attack, even during the day, the streets of the City of Angels were much more depressed, the vendors were nowhere to be seen, and the occasional pass-by inhabitants were all hurrying and carrying weapons.

Riding a wolf, Edric hurried towards Bucks Street. Bucks Street, which used to be the most popular, is now deserted, and many shops near dry goods stores have even closed their doors.

Handing the reins to the soldiers, Edric had just walked into the dry goods store when a strong smell of blood came over his face. The scattered corpses seemed to have been caused by fangs and vigorous tearing, and the fractures were not neat. The blood-stained linen mattress was torn to pieces, and it looked like the corpse of a fellow.

"General!" A tall, middle-aged man in leather armor came over.

He had short blond hair, and a twisted scar split his left eye in half, but he didn't choose to wear an eye patch, and the hollow eye sockets made people look hairy.

This person was a mercenary before, and later after Xiao Yi's promotion, he replaced the previous garrison officer who was a lumberjack, and he was very strict with his subordinates, so everyone gave him a nickname, called Iron Mask Dandy.

"Tell me about the situation!" After observing the man's body, Edric stood up and spoke to the garrison.

Dandy nodded, and he said in an indifferent voice, "The monster seems to have entered through the upstairs window, then killed the boss, then went downstairs again, and killed the guy, and finally fled the same way, and did not eat the corpse as usual. ”

"And a survivor?"

"Yes sir!" Iron-masked Dandy said.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Edric did not rush to ask witnesses, but looked carefully in the hall, and then asked very strangely, "Why do I think this guy was not killed in his sleep?" ”

There was blood on the futon, but not much. But if this guy was killed in his sleep, and then dismembered, the whole bedding should be infected with blood, how could there be only these blood stains? As a veteran, he knows very well how much blood a person can have.

"Yes sir!" Iron-Faced Dandy nodded and said, "My people think that the monster was discovered by the guy when he killed the boss, and then the monster left the boss and chased the guy who escaped." ”

He pointed to the staircase and said, "There was a trail of blood here, but it was lost by a fool!" ”

Edric looked down his finger and saw some faint bloodstains, but more vomit and shoe prints, probably some soldier was frightened by the bloody scene.

Ignoring this, Edric went straight to the second floor and found the boss lying on his back at the door of the room, and was surprised that the whole body was intact except for the marks on his neck that were torn by sharp teeth!

However, after thinking of the garrison's words, Edric thought that it might be because the monster found the guy after killing the boss and went after him, so the boss kept the body intact.

"Huh?" Edric couldn't help but hum in confusion, because he found that there was a shivering girl in the corner of this room!

The girl had brown hair, and it was impossible to see what she looked like because her face was buried in her knees, but the chains scattered around her showed that she seemed to be in captivity for a long time, as she had a shackle on her right foot that had not been opened.

"Why didn't you open it for her?" Edric asked? He understood that it might be the daughter of the owner of the dry goods store, though he didn't understand why she was imprisoned.

"She's not emotionally stable, and she kicks and screams when someone approaches her, so I think it's better to wait until you come and take her father's body before comforting her." Iron-faced Dandy said with some unbearability.

"Gather up the body, I'll go see her," nodded Edric, who came to the girl and whispered:

"It's all right, don't be afraid, there are a lot of soldiers here to protect you."

As he spoke, he used the key hanging by the door to open the shackles for the girl.

Who knows, as soon as his hand touched the shackles, the shackles came loose! The shackles were not locked at all.

"Whew!" Edric, who was surprised that the shackles were not locked, raised his head blankly, but was shocked to find that the poor little girl just now had actually turned into a monster with a wolf head and a human body!
