141 Where are the monsters?

Tokai Town, originally a quiet town, although it is only a small town in the east of San Jose, is not as prosperous as Kyoto City, and the buildings in the town are also a little dilapidated. But thanks to the fertile black soil that spreads throughout San Jose, the town's inhabitants have always lived and worked here.

Then the tranquility of the town was shattered some time ago, it was an ordinary night. At the end of the day, the townsfolk usually choose to have a drink in the tavern and then return to their homes to rest, and when the red and blue planets rise again, the townsfolk who have rested for the night will get back to work. However, on that very night, the whole town heard a loud scream, a "woo-woo" sound, sharp and piercing, and the whole town was awakened, including the mayor and the clerk.

People who don't know why came out of the house, walked to the streets of the town, looked up into the air, only to see a strange flying animal hovering over the town, the animal is so strange, the image is not clear, the part of the head is completely covered by long hair, in the dark night sky, its body is actually emitting a bright green light, it looks very strange. I don't know what stimulated me, the animal was screaming wildly, and many children couldn't stand the sound and desperately blocked their ears, and the adults couldn't stand it.

The well-informed Mayor Baron, he didn't know what that animal was. Before everyone could react, the animal turned into a monster, perhaps it was stimulated by the torches, or perhaps it was ferocious in its own right, the animal roared overhead, stretched out two sharp claws, grabbed a male townsman with lightning speed, and then flapped its wings away, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

The people who were stunned by this anomaly shouted to chase the monster, but they couldn't see where the monster had grabbed people. The next day, not far outside the town, people found a skeleton that seemed to have been eaten, leaving only a partially broken skeleton and a small amount of soft tissue, and all other muscles, including internal organs, completely gone.

The family of the captured townsman quickly recognized the skeleton as the one who had taken it by the monster, and apparently the rest of his body had been eaten by the monster.

Lord Mayor Baron told this, and Koster felt a chill, although it was still daylight, he still shivered involuntarily, and then looked at the mayor and the clerk, both of them were a little frightened, "What happened later?"

As events turned out, this was just the beginning, and seven days later, the monster returned, this time capturing a child, and the next day, a mutilated skeleton was abandoned near the town. A group of farmers put down their farming tools, picked up their kitchen knives and hammers, and went out to look for traces of the monster, but the monster was as if it had never existed, and the townspeople searched the vicinity, but found nothing.

And another seven days later, on the night, the monster arrived as scheduled, this time taking a woman, the last time the monster had done evil.

"Didn't you report to your superiors and let the San Jose army handle it?"

The baron sighed, "In a small place like our Donghai Town, it will take dozens of days before and after the report is handed over to the army, and it will definitely not be counted on in a short time." ”

Kerst understood, "How long ago was the last time?"

"Three days ago, the woman's body was found outside the town, and this time it was eaten cleaner, leaving only a few broken bones. The clerk replied preemptively.

Kester pinched his chin and thought, "That means that according to the law, the next time the monster appears will be ......"

"Four days later!" like a "four" gesture, the mayor replied in a deep voice.

Kester now understood why the town seemed so lifeless after coming here, there were not many living people on the streets, and even the taverns that had always been lively, where only a few old drunkards stayed. "If it is not resolved, the townspeople have decided to flee en masse in the evening of three days, but I am afraid that on the way to escape, I will be more vulnerable to attack. Lord Koster, do you understand what I mean?" added the mayor.

Kerry nodded in understanding, "I'll have to go back and discuss this with my companion, Lord Baron." Walking out of the town hall, Kester already basically understood what the other party meant. The bureaucrats in San Jose were too slow to do things, and it would take dozens of days for the situation here to be reflected and then dealt with, and during this time, the mayor of the town, Lord Baron, had no way to deal with the monster.

I, Feida, and Rika all carry weapons with them, and when they come here, they may be targeted by the people in the town, and all three of them are dressed as adventurers, and adventurers have always been the most enthusiastic about eradicating monsters, so the mayor of the town will make this decision and invite himself to help.

"But what kind of monster could it be?" Kerst also seemed a little curious, after returning to the tavern, Ferda had already sobered up, and Nicker relayed what the mayor said to Ferda and Rika, "You say, can we help?"

Maybe it was because he drank too much wine, but Feida, who has always been warm-hearted, was particularly excited, "Of course I have to help, there are still so many women and children in the town, if we don't help them, they will definitely become the rations of the monsters!" Kerst hurriedly pounced on and covered Feida's mouth, "Be quiet, it will cause panic, Feida!"

Three days later, Koster led Felda and Rika and hid outside the town, beside the mayor, Lord Baron Dennis. In fact, even though he is the mayor of the town, Baron Dennis is really not very old, and he is quite thin, compared to him, his clerk is more like a mayor.

As a nobleman, Dennis is also wearing a set of armor that has been around for a long time, as well as a one-handed sword that is a little rusty, seeing the look in Koster's eyes when he looked at his weapon, Dennis sneered, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, the last time I took this sword, I was still working as an attendant for an earl." This Donghai town is our family's domain, and I have never held a sword since I inherited the baronial title. ”

"Then you're still here?" Feida was a little puzzled, "aren't you afraid of monsters?"

The baron smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid?" Kerst stopped Feida from continuing to ask, "This is the duty of the nobles, this is the baron's fiefdom, and it is naturally his responsibility to protect this land." But Lord Baron, you'll follow us in a moment, don't act rashly, understand?"

Dennis nodded, and gestured with his hand, which caused Feida to laugh again. The crowd soon fell silent, and lay quietly in the woods outside the town, according to Baron Dennis, the monster came from the direction of the woods several times in a row, and after catching people, it also disappeared into the woods very quickly. And the corpses that were eaten up would be left in the woods on the way to the town.

The townspeople of Donghai Town, who had already suffered three times, were hiding in their cellars today, and they did not dare to come out, and the windows of the houses were nailed with wooden bars to make them very strong. However, the townsfolk who had seen the monsters were a little apprehensive, thinking about who would suffer today.

In silence, he suddenly heard a low exclamation from Feida, "Ah, here it is!

Hearing Feida's prompt, Vester hurriedly looked up to the north, only to see a strange green fluorescence moving rapidly in the black night sky, gradually coming this way.

"Fly so fast!" Kerst was a little shocked, this is obviously not comparable to ordinary animals, such a huge size can still have the speed of a flamingo, not to mention the strange fluorescence emitted all over the body, this is a creature that has never been seen before.

"This won't work!" Dennis' stammering voice came from behind him, "it's flying so fast that we can't stop it." Caster turned his head to look at Feida, who had already taken off the Elven Hunting Bow, but after estimating the distance, he still put it down, "Maybe Xiaohan can, I'm not sure." ”

By this time, the monster had already passed over the heads of the people and was speeding towards the town. Chester immediately decided, "Let's go, go back to town!"

In order to prevent the monster attack, the rest of the town hid in the cellar of their house, the doors and windows were tightened, and the outside was nailed with wooden sticks. The monster approached the streets of the town, circled a little, and found no sign of man, and for a moment it sniffed its nose, felt the smell of the air, and then let out a shrill and shrill cry, and threw itself at a house, bringing a gust of wind.

Before approaching the house, the monster stretched out its claws, and then pulled it up suddenly, and with a little force, it grabbed the roof of the house, and with the howling of the hurricane, the roof was actually lifted by the monster, and then the monster that dived again grabbed the floor again, and there was a "landslide and crack", and a couple hiding in the cellar and shivering, were exposed to the monster's eyes.

"Ahh Many townspeople are glad that they didn't meet the monster when they went to look for it before, and if they did, I'm afraid that a group of people wouldn't have enough for this monster to eat.

The monster still grabbed the man in the husband and wife as it did the previous times, and its claws dug deep into its body, and the man cried out in frenzy, but no one could help him. Caught by the monster, he flew towards the north with the monster's wings. At this time, the people hurried into the town, and the collapsed house in front of them and the screams in the distance made the people in the distance palpitate.

"Lord Baron, please save my husband, please!" said a woman, crying out of the rubble, rushed over, and wept as she ran, and as soon as she knelt at the feet of Baron Dennis, and clung to Dennis's feet, she began to weep bitterly.

"Brenda, speak slowly, has your husband been taken away?" the baron obviously recognized the woman, and the woman named Brenda shuddered and pointed to the north, "go there, the roof can't stop it at all, Lord Baron, please save him!"

Koster looked in that direction and said categorically, "Let's go, let's chase!" and ran forward first, Feida and Rika followed, Baron Dennis gritted his teeth and grabbed Brenda's shoulder, "I'll go and save him back, wait for me!" and then followed Koster's figure as well.
