The monster didn't seem to use much strength at all, but it easily chewed the soldiers in its mouth into blood foam.

You must know that this patrolling soldier is not wearing the same light hard leather armor as before, but a high-quality black steel helmet ordered by Dunbar to the blacksmith's workshop, the hardness of black steel is much higher than that of ordinary iron armor, even if he holds a sharp iron weapon, it is difficult to penetrate the defense of black steel, but this monster does not even have the slightest movement of being knocked on his teeth in the process of chewing, which shows how amazing its bite force is, and if it falls into its mouth, I am afraid there will be no chance of escape.

The monster smashed its mouth for a long time, and suddenly spit out two balls of things, one of which was the soldier's head as usual, and the other pile was his black steel armor, which had been twisted into a scrapped steel mass at this time, and it seemed that even monsters could tell which parts could be eaten and which could not.

The monster had two small flakes on the side of its huge head, like the gills of a fish, trembling slightly, and its round eyes looked into the distance, and kicked up with a low roar, and quickly chased after it.

That smell...... It was undoubtedly the prey of its trip.

......

Long before the monster jumped onto the dock and the soldier shot the crossbow arrow, Hodge took Daphne's hand and quietly pulled away from the crowd, even though he was out of the monster's sight, but the sense of crisis that permeated his heart never disappeared.

Intuition had rescued him many times, so he trusted his instincts as well, pulling Daphne through the alleyways.

"That's a dragon lizard. ”

There was a slight gasp in Daphne's voice, she was undoubtedly a powerful witch, even if she used her majestic magical power for Hodge, it didn't weigh too much on her body, but that didn't mean that her physique was just as good, in fact, the trotting had already made her feel a little tired and uncomfortable.

"What?" Hodge asked.

"A kind of sub-dragon, a derivative species of ancient dragons, is the overlord of the deep sea, with extremely strong physical strength, and can almost be immune to the resistance of ocean currents, it belongs to the extremely dangerous category among marine monsters, I once encountered one in the process of drifting, even if the power can suppress the dragon lizard in the ocean, it is difficult to completely defeat it. ”

Daphne's cheeks flushed with exhaustion, her brows furrowed, revealing a solemn emotion: "But I remember that dragon lizards only move in the open ocean, how could they suddenly come to the near coast?"

"Hell knows, maybe it was brought by tidal currents. His chest rose and fell slightly, and he said casually.

"No, no, I should have said that dragon lizards are almost immune to the drag of ocean currents, otherwise they wouldn't be so tough. "I don't know which tendon Daphne made the wrong one, and she was more serious in such a place.

Hodge still didn't stop, and although he had run a long way from the harbor, the dark clouds that hung over him still hadn't dissipated.

"Huh. Daphne tilted her ears in amazement, and in addition to the sound of the wind from the trotting and the noise of the streets, there seemed to be another discordant sound, "Did you hear anything?"

Hodge didn't have time to answer her, his face was already as black as ink.

He heard the voice.

Knock knock, knock knock.

It is like the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, but it can also be the sound of a large creature running on the ground.

Combined with the association he saw in the harbor horse, he finally understood where the sense of crisis in his heart came from.

When they turned their heads, they saw that the monster named the dragon lizard was chasing after them, and was constantly shortening the distance between them.

"Holy, why does this thing look like it's chasing us? ”

Hodge spat as they passed through a barely inhabited street, with no other pedestrians in sight, and it was clear that the dragon lizard was chasing the two of them.

"Could this monster be fond of the smell of some herb material, and you happen to have it on you?" he asked Daphne, turning to him.

Devany shook her head: "It is recorded that the only things that can attract the attention of the dragon lizard are the sea witch and the deep sea cragmus, how can such a high-grade material be sold in a store, even if there is, I can't afford it." ”

She looked at the dragon lizard that was approaching behind her, and proposed, "Either we can deal with it here, and without the help of the turbulent currents, I should be able to win easily with my strength." ”

"And then scorched the whole street, causing the City Watch to hunt down witches who had infiltrated the city? ”

Hodge vetoed this plan almost without thinking about it, although this street is empty, even if you use the power of a wizard, it will not be immediately discovered, but to defeat a monster of such a huge size as the dragon lizard, Daphne will inevitably use a large fire spell, which will leave obvious traces on the street, a city like Stone Fort will not ignore such an obvious clue, and will definitely start a city-wide investigation to find out who is the master of the flame who defeated the dragon lizard.

If the magicians were to say it, they might still be able to cheat at the town hall, but their identities are too sensitive to withstand such a toss.

"What then. Devine's tone became distorted, "I can't run!"

At the moment of emergency, Hodge's nerves were tensed into a string, and after hearing her words, he didn't even think about it, so he directly pulled her body back, suddenly squatted down, and signaled the other party to climb up quickly.

After a complete awakening and a certain period of subsequent training, his basic attributes have increased again, and at this time his strength has reached 12, his agility is 15, and his constitution is 13.

Not as thin as he was when he was a child, now he is definitely strong among his peers, and the lines of his abdominal muscles also support this, but after all, his strength is not too much more than ordinary people, and now he is not able to easily perform a stunt like "princess hug", so carrying people is the best and only choice at this time.

Devany didn't hesitate, and climbed onto Hodge's back, and then Hodge put his hands on her thighs, stood up, adjusted his center of gravity, and started racing with the dragon lizard again.

"You're so ......heavy," Hodge muttered under his breath, barely able to keep a distance from the dragon lizard with his 15 agility without carrying a man, but carrying the weight of a living person slowed him down by more than a stop, and in such a situation, they would soon be caught up by the dragon lizard.

Around the corner, he suddenly yelled at Daphne behind him, "Hold on to my neck." ”

He was running extremely fast at the moment, and the dragon lizard was approaching at an even faster pace, just one step away from them, and even the webbed hoofs and claws seemed to be able to reach both of them.

Just as Hodge was about to crash into the oncoming stone wall, he jerked his front foot sideways at the last moment and ran low down into the street to the right.

These actions happened in a moment, and the dragon lizard chasing after him obviously failed to react, and the angry roar could not make him stop his rushing body, and directly hit the solid stone wall, collapsing the entire wall, and the broken bricks and tiles burst out in all directions, and the dragon lizard in the ruins slowed down for a while before standing up again, and when he rushed out of the brick dust in the sky again, Hodge had already pulled away from him for a long time.

He didn't even have to look back, Hodge knew the result just by the loud sound.

Sure enough, the dragon lizard already has a huge body and fast speed, and if it could still have a reflex ability beyond ordinary people, then this world would have become their world long ago.

Before the dragon lizard could catch up, he quickly shuttled around the street corner with Daphne on his back, completely disengaging himself from the dragon lizard's field of vision.

"There is the entrance to the sewer river. Daphne acted as he rode through the eyes, pointing him to the wooden box in the middle of the weeds in the street, and when he pulled back the lid, there was a ladder leading to the sewer.

Both of them fell down the ladder into the sewer, and the stench was so irritating that they could barely breathe, and Hodge, who covered his mouth and nose, shouted, "How to go?"

"I don't know. Devonie's voice was dull, and she covered her mouth and nose, and even if she was walking down the street, she might not be able to recognize the direction of the Harbor Hotel, let alone in this small waterway where she didn't even dare to start a fire.

"Then let's go this way. ”

Hodge remembered where he had come, and chose to walk towards the right rear passage, even if he chose the wrong direction, at most it would take some effort to climb the streets of the city to get back to the hotel, which was better than staying here and facing the danger of being discovered by the dragon lizard.
