Late at night, Grant Manor is still immersed in revelry.

At this time, the town of Linshan near Grant Manor welcomed two strange travelers.

The two men looked very different, one was tall and burly, while the other was slender and pale, but extremely handsome.

At this time, this slender and extremely handsome man looked at the tall and burly companion beside him, and whispered: "Sasha, since you can't help it, then go forage, but you have to remember, don't make a big deal about it, otherwise our mission to recover the page of the 'Demon Book' left by the Blood Grand Duke is likely to be affected, and you should know what the punishment for failing the mission looks like." ”

As soon as the burly tall man known as Sasha heard the slender man's words, his burly body trembled involuntarily, as if he remembered some not-so-good memories.

Nodding slowly, Sasha whispered to the slender man: "Mud, you can rest assured, this Linshan Town is close to Snakeback Mountain, and being eaten by wild beasts is nothing, and it will not destroy the master's affairs." ”

As soon as the words fell, Sasha walked directly into the alley on the side, and then there was a faint sound of tearing clothes, followed by a beastly gasp and a low roar, and gradually faded away.

Glancing at the alley that Sasha walked into, Mudder looked in the direction of Grant's Manor, and there was a faint red light in his eyes, and then he smiled slightly, and said to himself: "I feel it, I feel the blood crystal left by my cheap brother, and the person who has the blood crystal must be the one who killed my cheap brother, so the page of the 'Demon Book' left by the Blood Grand Duke is obviously in his hand, as long as he finds this page." The Demon Book will allow the master to transform me into a true Bloodline, and then my status will be completely different!"

Retracting his gaze, Mudd forcibly resisted the desire in his heart, found a hotel in the town of Linshan, and quietly waited for Sasha's return to carry out his next plan.

......

At midnight, the taverns in Linshan Town are still bustling.

Linshan Town is located on the Snake Back Mountain, a mountain range rich in products, and the people in the town have a lot of income, and the standard of living is naturally far higher than that of other villages and towns of the same level.

This also makes many people in Linshan Town choose to come to the tavern at night to have a drink and be happy.

Scar was a hunter of the same period as Old Gun, but he was lazy and sloppy, and he liked to take advantage of small things, so he was not very popular among hunters, let alone compared to Old Gun, the former leader.

However, due to the abundance of the Snakeback Mountain, Scar, an old bachelor who no woman wants to give him, can barely make ends meet, and come up with a little money to drink some wine.

Tonight, Scar drank until midnight, and most of his money was spent.

Despite his reluctance, Scar had no choice but to leave the tavern and go straight home to sleep.

Walking on the bluestone road step by step, Scar turned into the alley and walked towards the street on the other side of the alley, where his home was.

Halfway through walking, a rush of urine came to his heart, Scar looked left and right, and after finding that there was no one, he walked to the corner and began to drain the water.

However, just as Scar unbuckled his belt and was about to drain water, an inexplicable coldness surged into Scar's heart, as if he was being targeted by some large beast.

The moment this coldness appeared, Scar shivered violently, and the whole person came to his senses.

He was a hunter after all, so he naturally knew very well what it felt like when he encountered a large beast, and now this coldness was also felt by Scar when he was young.

It was that time that Scar met an adult forest leopard, and it was that time that Scar had an extra scar on his face, and he changed his name to Scar.

Cold sweat dripped down Scar's forehead, and although he didn't know why there were wild beasts in Linshan Town, the hunter's intuition told Scar that his feeling was not wrong.

With trembling hands, he fastened his belt, and the moment the belt was fastened, Scar rushed towards the exit of the alley where he came, and in this rush, Scar used all his strength, showing a speed that he had never shown before.

However, just as Scar was about to rush out of the alley, a huge figure fell from the sky and fell directly behind Scar, and then a scarlet mouth opened violently, biting Scar's shoulder, and under Scar's screams, he was dragged directly into the alley by the huge figure.

Almost at the same time, the screaming came to an abrupt end, leaving only the sound of tearing and chewing slowly echoing in the alley.

......

Early in the morning, Al and Howard Sr., who had stayed at Grant Manor, returned to Linshan Town.

However, as soon as the two of them walked into the town, they immediately noticed that Linshan Town today was different from the past.

It was as if everyone had lost their smiles, and there were only a handful of people who could see the smiles on their faces, and everyone was in a hurry, as if they were worried about something.

Seeing this, Al and Old Howard glanced at each other, and both saw the look in each other's eyes, something was wrong!

The two of them walked two steps briskly, preparing to go back to the bookstore first, and went in to ask someone what was going on.

But at this moment, the two of them happened to meet Old Gun and Aunt May's eldest son, Garon.

Since the last time Al rescued Garon from Uso's house, Garon has become much more poised and has taken the old gun's bow and become a hunter, recently following the old gun's former companion on hunting.

Garon was naturally overjoyed when he saw Al, and without waiting for Al and Howard Sr. to ask, he took the initiative to tell Al and Howard Sr. about the matter.

Hearing Garon's words, Al finally understood the reason why the atmosphere in Linshan Town had become so solemn.

Beasts kill!

In the early years, it was not uncommon for wild beasts to kill people in Linshan Town, after all, it was adjacent to a rich mountain range, and it was not uncommon for a wild beast to break into the town at night and injure people, and even kill people.

But this time things were slightly different, three people died in a row last night, and each of them had only some stumps left in their bodies, and most of the bodies were gone.

However, judging from the traces left on the remaining limbs, it was clear that the three dead men had been eaten by the same creature that had attacked them.

And judging from the time and place of the three people's deaths, the three of them were killed one after another, with a certain time interval between them, and it was obvious that they all died at the mouth of the same beast!

However, when things came to this, a very serious problem was also defeated in front of everyone, there are many hunters in Linshan Town, but all hunters with a little experience know how many corpses there are in most of the three people, and in the common sense of hunters, the beast that can eat three people in one night basically does not exist, even the largest beast in the Snakeback Mountain, the forest storm bear, does not have this ability!

After listening to Garon's words, Al and Howard Sr. parted after a few words with Garon.

Along the way, both Al and Howard Sr. fell into deep thought, but neither of them figured out what kind of beast would eat three people in a row in one night!

After Al sent Howard Sr. back to the bookstore, he thought about it and walked straight to one of the crime scenes.

Al was just outside the alley where Scar had been killed last night, and a cordon had been formed outside the alley, where town guards were guarding to keep people from approaching the scene of the destruction.

While inside the scene, Xiulan inspected the scene with two soldiers and the town's chief of guard.

Seeing Xiulan here, Al suddenly said: "It turns out that Uncle Xiulan came here early in the morning, no wonder I didn't see Uncle Xiulan when I had breakfast." ”

Thinking of this, Al took a step forward, and without waiting for the town guards to stop him, he directly shouted: "Uncle Xiulan, let me go in and see how it goes, I am one of the best hunters in the town after all." ”

Xiulan actually saw it when Al walked in, so when Al shouted those words, Xiulan thought about it and nodded and agreed to let Al come in to take a look at the scene of the crime.

Looking down through the cordon, Al walked quickly to the blood and stump left on the ground, looking at the black and smelly blood on the ground, Al frowned slightly, and looked at the marks left on the walls of the surrounding alleys and the ground.

Looking around, Al found a few traces left by the beast that committed the crime, judging from the traces, this beast must be very large, no wonder it has such a large amount of food.

As for the traces of Scar's struggle before death, there were very few traces, and it was obvious that he was quickly killed by the beast.

Al looked around, turned his head and was about to discuss his gains with Xiulan, but at this moment, Al suddenly saw a shallow claw mark on the wall of the alley on the left.

Looking up along the claw marks, there was also a shallow, almost invisible claw mark at the top of the alley wall, and if it weren't for El's amazing eyesight, then there would be no trace of that trace at all.

With the discovery, Al jumped onto the wall on the side of the alley without saying a word, and stood on the wall, Al carefully looked at the claw marks on the wall.

I saw that the claw marks gradually extended to the other side, and as the claw marks extended, these claw marks gradually changed, and finally Al actually saw a person's bloody footprints imprinted on the wall.

Based on the gradual change of these claw marks, Al could clearly tell that these claw marks were actually the transformation of the last foot with the bloody footprints.

And to be able to do such a change, and also to have the need to eat people, there is only one creature in El's impression that has such a trait.

That's the werewolf among the creatures of darkness!
