More than ten minutes later, the kidnapping of the adventurers by the cadres of spades and the escape spread throughout the royal capital, one of them has been identified as Brecht, the cadre of spades, and the identity of the other has yet to be verified. Judging from the reactions of the military, civilians, and adventurers, Lin Qiu felt that Medea did not make the news of the arrival of spades public, and people still subconsciously believed that Brecht was here to destroy the country.

Lin Qiu and Brecht hid behind a small hill on the outskirts of the city, and the mighty pursuers stayed in the city and did not dare to come out.

It was clear that Lin Qiu's statement about the "No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the World" had not won the trust of the residents of Leorea.

"Clark, what's going on with them?"

Lin Qiu secretly looked at the United Army that the cat didn't dare to come out of the city, and couldn't help asking. Before they fled the city, the crowd shouted slogans for blood sacrifices to the members of spades, and the simple impression left by them was gone. After asking the question, Lin Qiu found that Eugen was squatting on the ground at some point, holding his head in his hands, and his face was like ashes.

"It's really cute for a big man to do this kind of action!"

Lin Qiu kicked him to the ground: "Tell me honestly, did you do it because of the disappearance of Brother Ysera?"

The expression on Eugen's face confirmed Lin Qiu's guess, and he was stunned for a long time before he quickly explained, "It was his younger brother who kept saying that he wanted to become a treasure hunter, and he also entrusted us to provide him with information about the treasure...... We went to look for him later, but by the time we went, he had already gone nowhere!"

"And then you're using that as an excuse to trick Ysera into giving you so-called 'intelligence money'?"

"This ...... It's all the boss's idea!" Eugen did not hesitate to shift the blame to the fainting boss. He felt that he was really unlucky to get home, and every time the boss cheated him, he couldn't get much of the money, and as a result, he was taken hostage out of the city among the five people. He looked at the darkening sky, and there was a little desperation in his voice: "Forget it...... It's over!"

The voices of the people also came from the city gates, and after some consultation, they made a decision: "Close the city gates, those two spades are dead!"

"Anyone who leaves the city after dark will be eaten by monsters!"

"You're also an adventurer, aren't you a common thing to encounter monsters?" Lin Qiu felt more and more suspicious.

It was reasonable for Ysera to prevent him from leaving the city before, after all, it was normal for her brother to disappear like this, and it was normal to leave a little shadow, but the reaction of the others was obviously a little excessive. It is true that the night is the peak of monster activity, and it is not a wise move to go out of the city at this time, and it is an exaggeration to scare a group of adventurers and soldiers into the city gates.

"You don't understand anything! It's not an ordinary monster, it's the Shadow of Leorea!"

The rumors of the bards tell only half the truth, and the dragon Leorea did give everything to the people of the land, but before she died, she also left a curse to protect the source of power she left behind. It is rumored that her curse has evolved over the years, eventually forming a shadow dragon that breathes black flames and incinerates all adventurers who have gone astray.

And at night, it's when Leorea's shadow haunts.

Although no one has ever witnessed the so-called Shadow Dragon, the disappearance of countless people corroborates this legend from the side.

Suddenly, Eugen, who was crouching on the ground, became terrified, as if sensing something, staring alertly into the jungle in the distance.

"Don't ...... Don't come here!"

Lin Qiu followed his line of sight and found a squirrel with innocent eyes all over his head with black lines. The squirrel stood on a small mound with a chestnut in its paws, and after meeting Lin Qiu's gaze, it wagged its big furry tail.

There is a limit to cowardice!

However, a few seconds later, Lin Qiu discovered Eugen's anomaly. He fell backwards in horror, his face was hideous, his mouth opened wide, as if he was suffocating: "Don't come here! It was indeed our fault to do this, I know it was wrong, I will go and tell your sister the truth, please-"

In his sight, a smiling teenager walked towards him step by step.

"Don't you see, stop him!" he frantically turned to Lin Qiu and Brecht for help.

"What are you talking about, it's just a squirrel, isn't it?" Brecht was a little puzzled.

Eugen stared at the boy coming to him, only a few steps away from him, the boy's entire body suddenly twisted together, the next second, his whole person exploded from the inside, two wings that covered the sky and the sun blocked the vast moonlight, the red dragon eyes stared at him, and the next moment, the black dragon breath gushed out.

......

"This person is here to touch porcelain, right?" Lin Qiu touched the squirrel that jumped lightly on his shoulder, and the squirrel rubbed his face affectionately.

The strong man named Eugen was so frightened by this cute creature that he collapsed to the ground.

"Be careful Brecht, this may have come to touch porcelain or cheat. Lin Qiu told Brecht, who went to check on the situation.

Brecht reached out and probed Eugen, followed by a long silence.

"Brother Tyr, he's not acting. Brecht drew a heavy conclusion.

"Be careful, it's a classic like 'pretending to faint and actually waiting for an opportunity to sneak up' or 'pretending to go to the bathroom and slipping out of the back window'. ”

"That can't be done anymore - this man, dead. ”

He's dead?

Lin Qiu was startled, his hand shook, and the squirrel that crawled onto his palm was startled by him, and the fluff all over his body exploded.

This thing can't be some high-level monster, right?

At the same time as this thought arose, the stunned squirrel suddenly opened its mouth, its lips could not withstand its large movements, and two bloody openings were torn open, and its sharp teeth glowed with a cold light, and each tooth was left with indescribable minced flesh.

Lin Qiu shook his head, and when he looked at it again, the squirrel had changed back to its original state at some point, and it curled up in a ball aggrievedly, as if it was begging for Lin Qiu's touch with its eyes.

If it weren't for Lin Qiu's noticing that the squirrel's aura hadn't changed, he would probably have thrown it out by mistake.

How?

Hallucinations due to exertion should be an impossible situation for a knight of his level, in other words, the fleeting illusion just now was real, and this Eugen was indeed frightened to death by the "vision" he saw.

"Brecht, did you see anything unusual about this squirrel?"

"Nope. ”

......

Lin Qiu took a deep look at the jungle in the distance, and it seemed that something ominous was really hidden in the darkness.

"You ......"

A female voice sounded behind the two.

"Ever heard of a nightmare come true?"
