When Dack and the others came to the orchard, they saw nothing but scorched earth and blackened wood lying on the ground, some of which were still billowing white smoke.

Vanessa snorted, "Traces of destruction, stopping us from tracking?"

Fernandez said: "No, since the monster spared the witnesses, it is unlikely that it was deliberately set on fire to destroy the traces. The fire was set by someone else. ”

Woods, who arrived early, walked over with a few pages of interrogation transcripts: "Lord Dark, something you may be interested in, this orchard was originally a downstream supplier to the Rothschild plantation, but the relationship between the two sides has always been very bad, and Rothschild often uses means other than normal business activities. So the owner of the orchard submitted an application to Tuscano Wine Company after his contract expired last week, wanting to change his position. ”

"Murders due to commercial disputes, and what does this have to do with monsters?"

According to reports from the public, the female owner had an ambiguous relationship with a local church priest named Taancona, who had fought off Rothschild thugs who had harassed the orchard on several occasions before the incident. ”

"Oh, oh!" Duck liked it, "and then?"

The clashes escalated, and the pastor was seriously injured in a fierce confrontation and did not show up for two weeks. According to eyewitness reports from the discovery of the monster, the orchard caught fire this morning after the monster escaped, and the whereabouts of the owner of the orchard are unknown. ”

Vanessa sneered: "It's all a big fight, and no one reports it?"

Fernández said, "Don't underestimate the power of these big plantations. Unless we put the 'Eye of Light' here and catch the actual evidence, it will inevitably be a routine that the lower ones dare not report and are unwilling to investigate. Besides, before the monster appeared, this kind of civil dispute that didn't have much oil and water was not under the jurisdiction of the inquisition - sorry sir, I didn't mean we ......"

Darke ignored these and muttered, "Could it be that this Taancona is a Rothschild's man, deliberately tricked? No, if it was for the purpose of making a fortune, he would not have resorted to such an extreme method as burning the orchard." ”

"Also, just now I inquired about the pastor's membership information, and the reply given by the Sacred Doctrine Department is that there is indeed such a person within the Holy Church, who has a good reputation and is an honest and sincere person. However, he was excommunicated. ”

"Excommunication, what did you do?"

Many of his views leaned toward Urbino, such as, ......Woods was a little embarrassed," he said, "and he believed that professional clergy could get married." ”

Duck raised his eyebrows: "Yes!"

The surrounding clergy looked embarrassed. Woods didn't dare to take this stubble, let alone ask the boss if he meant "yes" for Taancona's deviant courage or his opinion "yes". He continued, "So, well, he later joined the Poor Men sect and was excommunicated from the Congregation of the Holy Doctrine. ”

Is it Urbino's men? Could it be an artificial monster created by Urbino?

Urbino stole Nicholas's technology, Nicholas had done a lot of human modification experiments, combined with the point that "monsters can use healing techniques", is this Taancona a monster?

At this moment, one of the team members searching by the fence shouted, "Captain Vanessa, footprints! in the direction of the Rothschild plantation!"

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and when they saw a series of deep footprints on the ground, each of them the size of a fan.

Woods gestured with his hand and sighed, "God of Light, is this guy an elephant? Look, it's as deep as a finger of mine!"

Fernandez said: "In my experience, even a three-meter-tall monster can't weigh to this extent, is this guy iron-beaten?"

Vanessa said, "Maybe it's a metal puppet disguised as a monster, wearing a layer of camouflage to confuse the public?"

"Well, it's possible!"

"No, no way," Duck fumbled through the footprints for a while, pulling something out of his hands, "what metal golem has this thing on it!"

It was a torn layer of skin, which looked like the scales of a lizard, but it was long and had a clear mucus that had not dried.

Vanessa took it and pulled it gently, but she didn't pull it: "It's so strong!"

Fernandez took it and looked at it, pinched it, and said, "It's quite tough, and if it's a monster that's shed, then it's quite resistant to swords - not only that, but you can see the other side of it, it's dry, like a scab from a wound on a person's body." ”

"You mean this guy has more than one layer of skin?"

"Yes, this layer alone can resist the damage of most individual long-range projectile weapons, and in close combat, I'm afraid only heavy weapons such as two-handed swords and war hammers can damage it. ”

"And how did it fall?"

"As the director said just now, this thing resembles a scab from a wound, and it must have fallen off after the muscles inside were basically grown. ”

Woods said, "A big guy more than three meters tall, fight with it in close combat......? Director, do you want to call for reinforcements?"

Darker said decisively: "Fernandez, I'll leave two people for you, you stay here, call the Inquisition, let Shaqi hurry over and use the teleportation spell!"

"What about you?"

"I went to the Rothschild estate with the others, and I felt that the black-hearted rich men were dying. ”

"However, there is no distress communication that has been attacked. ”

"It may also be that you can't get in touch! The arrest team, get on the horse, accelerate the blessing, target Rothschild Manor, go at full speed!"

The half-hour journey was finished in the blink of an eye, and all the war horses were so tired that they were snorting white air, and their whole bodies were sweating. Acceleration can increase speed, but it can't save effort.

When approaching the Rothschild estate, the arrest team dismounted and approached on foot.

Woods glanced at the magic energy fluctuation detector and whispered, "No magic energy fluctuation!"

Duck ordered: "Remain silent, start the team chat! Search the formation and move forward through the woods ahead!"

"Yes. ”

All the way to the middle of the woods, the scout sent a message: "The Rothschild patrol was found on the path ahead, three people, with good armor. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and there was no attack here, or did the monster not go this way?

Vanessa ordered: "Approach with caution!"

"Yes. ”

Then there was the sound of squirming in the communication, and the two scouts moved from crawling to semi-crouching.

The crowd listened with bated breath.

"Hey, hey—they heard it and were looking in our direction...... They spotted us, were coming, and looked limping...... Something doesn't seem right - living corpses! enemy attack, enemy attack! Oh my God, there are so many in the woods, reinforcements, reinforcements!"

Darke stood up suddenly: "Assault! Cover!"

A strong flash of light appeared in the trees ahead, and it was the scouts trying to use the flash to disrupt the balance of the living corpses, slowing them down.

No, Duck's head is sweating, the woods are too dense, the effect of the flash shock wave will be greatly affected, and the shock wave will cover up the other dangers!

Really.

"Oh my God, what's it, that's what, monkey, a big-headed living corpse monkey, too fast, too fast, I can't hit it, oh my God, it hugged Marshall's head, it dragged Marshall into the herd of living corpses, I can't help him, help, help!"

Duck saw the scout retreating from Queen Cang, and he yelled, "Give me a shield, bless!"

Darker held a shield in one hand and the Morning Star in the other, and ran wildly.

With the blessing of acceleration and "Angelic Blessing", he felt as light as a swallow, jumped up, slid more than twenty meters in the air, and swept over the scout's head, the war hammer fell to the ground, the ground shook violently, and the living corpses that pounced were all shaken by the ferocious crushing blow.

The team members behind him used the Holy Light Technique, and countless silver rays rained down, nailing the living corpses that had broken their joints and wriggled on the ground.

Vanessa and Lewis, one with a giant sword and the other with a large shield, shielded the scouts, and the team stepped forward to form a double circle to form a stable defensive support point.

With the power of the shockwave, Duck rose up a second time, and flew past the corpses towards Marshall, who was struggling to the ground.

The living monkey spotted Duck, raised his head, hissed menacingly, and leaped up from the bottom to the top to hold Duck in the air.

Duck had already seen the trajectory of his jump: "It's too slow!"

The black and white hammer roared down, shattering the head of the living monkey with a single blow, and the yellow-green brains splattered everywhere.

With a thud, Duck landed, shaking the nearby corpses into a staggering fit and retreating from Marshall's side.

Marshall saw that the director had come to the rescue in person, his strength increased sharply, and he grabbed the hair of the last living corpse lying on the cuirass, and pulled it with brute force, and with a click, he pulled off the head of the living corpse, and the headless corpse twitched twice and fell to the ground.

"Director, thank you so much! If it weren't for the good protective gear you gave, I would have been ...... long ago."

"You're lucky," Duck smashes the living corpses that Marshall pounced on behind with a hammer, "The deep canal on the left has blocked a lot of living corpses, and there are only three sides of the siege, otherwise...... Get out of the way!"

Marshall was pushed down by Duck.

He watched in amazement as a living corpse more than two meters tall, with one arm as thin as a dead branch and the other arm as thick as a pillar, rushed like a bull, flew the director into the air, and fell into the boiling canal with the director.

As soon as he fell into the canal, Dark, who was caught off guard, choked on two large mouthfuls of water, his nose was sore, and his eyes were blurred. When he opened his eyes, the canal in front of him was bending, and the hard stone wall was rushing towards him.

"Death, death, death—"

With a bang, Duck's head hit a hard object, and it hurt hotly, but there was no blood flow from his head, and it turned out to be a large living corpse that was washed down together and became a meat shield. Duck hit its belly.

"Damn, this guy is so strong!

The living corpse's right arm was unusually thick, almost the width of an adult, and the palm of his hand was surprisingly large, one hand could hold Duck's chest!

If it weren't for the super-hard alloy armor refined by the Pillar of Hydra, maybe Dark's sternum would have been crushed, right?

The large living corpse slowly stood up in the rapids, pressed Duck to the ground at the top of the canal, and then clumsily stepped out of two large thick legs and climbed onto the canal.

"Not good!"

There was a tumbling just now, and the shield and the Morning Star of the Prison Eye were all out of his hands, and I am afraid that this guy's strength is still above his own, and he can't break free on his own.

"Uh-huh!" the big living corpse roared, slapping Duck's back to the ground, and Duck suddenly felt a star in his eyes, and he shook his head hard to keep himself from fainting.

Damn, who's going to help!

"Uh-"

A low roar rang out, and countless living corpses gathered in the grass beside the canal.

"Bastard, I didn't call you, get out, get out of here!"

At this moment, a fierce and low roar suddenly sounded in the dense forest behind the group of living corpses: "Roar-oh-roar!"

The earth shook violently!

The big living corpse felt the tremors, stopped bombarding Duck, and looked back to see that Duck's eyes were also on it.

He saw countless living corpses flying, being slapped away, yes, being slapped violently, some only flying a third of the way, and their bodies were shattered by strange forces before they could take off!

A giant living corpse more than three meters tall, with a red body and a puppet-like muscle, appeared in view, and each of this guy's arms was as thick as the entire body of a large living corpse!

Giant living corpses swoop down on you with murderous vigour!
