Chapter 138: Return (II)

Polar Night ......

Beginning. More than 20 days have passed since the night fell, and seeing that the sky shrouded in polar night will enter daylight, it seems that outside of Gulunhar Xiongcheng, it seems that some of the haunting popularity has been restored.

In the past few days before daylight, the flow of tourists who haunt the gates of Gulunhar has become more and more huge, and from time to time you can see a strange shadow, flashing in front of your eyes, and disappearing into the dark city gate in the blink of an eye.

Or hordes of decaying creatures, crawling on all fours, as tall as an adult's chest, but crawling on the ground with rickety bodies. It is not uncommon to see a group of deformed monsters in formation, howling and dragging packed corpses, and rushing towards the north of the city.

The tense atmosphere stretched from the gates of Gurenhar to the dark forest miles away. These days, it is rare to see a mortal-level person go to the dark forest to abduct lambs, and it is almost difficult to see a mortal-level rookie in the wild.

Gulenhar is the closest main city to the borders of Camelot's power, and it is conceivable that many witchers will come here and venture to hunt demons in order to refine the spell seal. The first thing newcomers do when they arrive at Athallas is to survive the elimination trial twice, and then immediately leave Gurenhar and go deeper into the safer hinterland to avoid being bumped into by the witchers.

Safety is relatively speaking, and if you escape the hunt of the witcher, you may not be able to escape the killing of other demons......

The main city of Gulunhar, a place where life is in danger both inside and outside, has a new person who is different from the other, and at this time he arrived at the gate in the west of the city.

Newcomer. Scold......

It's been less than a month since Isalas, Jory, he's still a delicate newcomer!

But he is a newcomer, and his hands are already stained with blood. In just over 20 days, Jory seemed to be broken and reorganized, and from him, he could no longer see the nervous, lazy and playful office white-collar worker in the past.

All that is left is a defiled, dark soul, and by now, Jory is determined to give his life to it. Bring it to its brightest brilliance. Even if it was like a meteor, at least he was shining.

If you live like a walking corpse, you might as well die quickly!

Looking up at the majestic and wide city gates, Jory looked at the gates that were taller than the high-rise commercial buildings he had seen in the Republic. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of mockery.

A city gate of such height. I'm afraid it's not just humanoids, right?

Footsteps move quickly sideways. Jory let go of a group of black-armored knights who had charged out, and he turned his head to look at the figures coming in and out of the city gate, and walked towards the dark city gate.

The city gate is more than 20 meters high. Surrounded by a ring of miserable green waters of the Dead River, Jory walked across the bridge that spanned both banks, and paced into the dark entrance.

In my memory, a short section of the road at the city gate was dimly lit, and I had to walk through this section of the road before it suddenly became clear. In the dim light of the secluded forest, Jory looked at the light in front of him with a very calm face, and walked forward unhurriedly.

The only light he has is above Jory's head.

Dotted on Jory's head, two small hands each grabbing a strand of Jory's black hair, it opened its cautious and vigilant eyes, scanning the darkness back and forth around it.

The only glow came from the dotted body, a naturally glass-like body that emitted a faint glow of night blue, rendering the top of Jory's head a dark blue. It's just that the little bit of body, including the ghostly light emanating from its body, can only be seen by Jory.

With the help of the glowing dots in the darkness, Jory saw that he was about to walk out of this dark road unharmed.

"Woo......"

The eerie cry that suddenly came from his ears, as if he was close behind Jory, did not turn back as if he had seen a ghost, but stopped expressionlessly, standing in place, not squinting and looking straight ahead.

The gloomy dark environment, the cold breeze blowing, and the only light in front of it seemed to be the light that teased the hope of survival in the fear of human beings. If an ordinary human was here, he would definitely be frightened by the sudden "cry" in his ears and scream and flee.

Behind him, a cold breath blew on Jori's neck, and a pale hand slowly stretched out from behind to Jory's face.

"What a tender smell of human flesh, is it the lamb that has just come to Ethallas, hiss...... I haven't eaten ...... in a long time."

Slowly turning his face, dense green tendons suddenly jumped, Jory's dark eyes, and the iris gradually appeared a blood-like red.

Jory turned his head slowly, a hoarse, muffled syllable coming out of his throat.

Just one word.

"Roll ............"

In this dark environment, the dark red color of the iris in Jory's eyes turned like two blood lights gradually brightening up in the darkness.

The blood light in the darkness shot like two sharp swords, and the gray claws that stretched out towards Jory froze instantly.

Behind Jory were three dead creatures like old corpses, their thin faces as if elongated, their eye sockets completely black hollow, and a large black mouth that occupied almost a third of the long face.

Three dead old corpses dressed in black blood, with a large black hole in the mouth, flowing with a foul yellow viscous liquid.

"Warning!" At this time, the coat of arms suddenly conveyed a message to Jory: "Please don't conflict with the City Watch, otherwise, the host will suffer unexpected misfortune in the city!" ”

Guard?

Jory doesn't remember any bullshit guards the last time he left.

In the cave of the dark city gate, the vicious yellow liquid from the big mouth of the white-clothed old corpse spurted out, and the three old corpses couldn't wait to reach out and grab Qiao Li.

"Come here, give me a bite, I'll let you in with a bite......"

Seeing a few dead arms grabbing at him, Qiao Li stood in place without changing his color, and asked silently in his heart: "Herald, let me ask you a question, is the place where I am staying now in the city?" ”

A very simple question, and the heraldic response was very succinct: "No." ”

"Me and these three stupid. Will there be trouble when you force a fight? Jory asked again.

This time, the coat of arms responded more succinctly: "Yes." ”

The moment the dead claws were about to grasp Jory's arm, Jory's body suddenly turned into a blood mist and flew towards the city. Jory just asked about the coat of arms, the three old corpses can be the guards of the main city, and they must have good abilities. But the moment Qiao Li saw the three old corpses, an inexplicable longing actually welled up in his heart.

The thirst to hunt, the desire to get more collectibles......

However, Jory suppressed the urge to hunt and wanted to leave, but the entanglement was not over. The three old corpses followed Jory into the city, standing at the junction of darkness and light, and let out an unwilling roar.

The roar spread, alarming the countless passers-by who entered and exited the city gates, their eyes swept between the gate guards and the distant blood mist, but they did not say much. At this moment, a huge claw covered with gray scale armor suddenly stretched out from the dark city gate cave, and grabbed the three old corpses in the claw.

"You three foodies...... What's the noise? ”

Immediately, this terrifying giant claw grabbed the three old corpses back into the darkness, and in the dark city gate cave, a scream suddenly sounded, followed by a continuous chewing sound.

"Grass! That thing woke up again! ”

The passers-by inside and outside the city gate who were about to enter and exit stood still in front of the city gate and refused to go any further. In the dark city gate hole, there was another sound of chewing, and it took a long time before the chewing sound slowly weakened, and after waiting for a long time, passers-by who were about to enter and exit the city gate dared to enter the doorway.

The old corpse that Jory saw just now was the guard guarding the darkness of the city gate cave, and the behemoth that could hold three old corpses in its claws......

The demon who lives in the western district of Gulunhar knows that it is the supreme guardian of the West Gate!

Inside the dark gates, the sound of chewing had disappeared, but the terrifying artifact that made the chewing sound did not return to the surface of the water.

It tasted a tender smell on the flesh of the old corpse. It hadn't eaten fresh meat and fresh blood for a long time, and it was difficult to resist the hunger that tickled its heart.

"Just now, the ...... who entered the city Person...... It's so fragrant......" (To be continued......)
