024: Monster

The barricades were built smoothly, and the exit was originally in the basement of the French Chamber of Commerce, but since Eve's disappearance here was exposed, Francis has disappeared from the world, and the Chamber of Commerce has become ownerless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info Knights used local materials, chests, barrels, tables and chairs around them, and a seemingly sturdy barrier was successfully erected.

Although this process did not encounter any obstacles, the time consumed continued, and after the magic in this passage was purified, it was actually not far away. Even if they were crawlers, those monsters should have already been nearby, but now there is no movement at all. Fennel gently patted Eve on the shoulder, and Eve took a deep breath to put her thoughts down for a moment. "Kagua, you take a few people and go down to see what is going on. ”

Kagua was more familiar with the situation below, and now that he had the ability to sense danger, it was only fitting that he would be given this task. But Kagua didn't move, just closed his eyes, as if he felt something. "Eve, they're here. He said, but there was some confusion in his tone. "But, for some reason, they didn't move on. ”

"That's right, we should go and see what the hell they're up to. Eve said, deciding to see for herself what the monsters were doing right now. "You, you, and Kagua come with me. Eve pointed to a few men and led them into a passage once more.

It didn't take much to find the monsters, and they gathered not far from the exit. When the oil lamps illuminated their figures, the knights could not help but exclaim, they had never seen such a terrifying and evil creature. The monsters were much more numerous than Eve had estimated, filling almost the entire passageway, and their semi-liquid bodies were even intertwined, which was extremely weird.

"What are they doing?" Eve looked at them closely, and found that not only did they not move forward, but they were still a little cowering, as if they did not dare to go further. But after observing for a while, Eve saw the clue. "They...... Waiting?" Eve had this ridiculous idea, as they looked like they were waiting for something to come, or something to happen. The thought scares Eve, because whatever it is, it's certainly not a good thing.

"Eve, their feet ......" Kagua looked at their feet, and couldn't help but remind. Eve looked over and saw that there seemed to be something, and through the constant flow of black substance, it was vaguely visible that something seemed to be covered under their feet.

"What's that?" asked Eve, unable to make out what it was. But Kagua seemed to be able to see clearly. “...... Corpse. Kagua said silently. "It's the ones we met before. Kagua tightened his grip on the borrowed knight's sword, furious at what was happening in front of him. “...... They seem to be 'eating' the corpses. ”

The act of blaspheming the dead is unbearable for anyone, and Kagua's words not only make Eve feel uncomfortable, but also the knights can hardly bear to have such a thing happen in front of them. Eve beckoned to one of the knights, who understood, drawing his sword from his waist. "Damn monsters, go back to hell!" he rushed at the monsters, slashing at one of them with his sword.

The iron sword cut through the monsters unhindered, as if it were cutting through a patch of mud. And this move didn't seem to do much damage to those monsters. The knight slashed several more swords, and instead of destroying them, he split them into several, and the number increased rather than decrease. There was also some black substance on his sword, which was flowing down the blade of the sword to his hands.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and threw away the sword in his hand immediately, the devil knows what would have happened. He retreated with palpitations, and the monster that iron could not hurt was enough to make him fearful.

Eve subconsciously wanted to draw her sword, but remembered that she had already given him back to the prince. At this time, I don't know if it was stimulated by the outside world, those monsters suddenly began to writhe and twitch strangely, as if something bad was about to happen.

If Eve hadn't been here, the knights would have run away. Even so, they completely lost the courage to fight, and only waited for Eve to order them to retreat.

But Eve had a hunch that if they couldn't stop these monsters here, they wouldn't have a chance. So she didn't retreat, she was waiting, she had to know what her real threat was.

She didn't have to wait long, and soon, the monsters stopped. Only Kagua knew what had just happened, and they had absorbed all the corpses. The monsters' bodies began to change significantly, from the fact that they had barely taken on a human form, but now, as if they had flesh and bones, not only did their bodies look stronger, but they also had real limbs. The black substance under their feet slowly disappeared, or rather, it was all absorbed into their bodies by these monsters. Now, they look exactly like humans, if not without their facial features.

Finally, a timid knight was tormented by the strange sight before him, and he rushed at the monsters without warning, and even if Eve stopped them, it was too late.

Although he already knew that the iron sword might not be able to hurt these monsters, at this time he didn't care about it, waving the sword in his hand indiscriminately and slashing at those monsters.

Unlike before, his sword felt a huge resistance, and only half of it was slashed in, and it was trapped in the monster's body, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.

Then, the monster he had slashed, his featureless face turned to the knight, as if looking at him with an eyeless face, and then, with his hand still dripping with black substance, took the blade of the sword, drew the sword, and snatched it from the knight's hand. The knight was so frightened that he forgot to run away, but his whole body trembled, staring at the monster in front of him.

The monster raised its hand and slashed at the knight with its sword. "Be careful!" the knight from before helped him parry the blow in time, but the force from the sword shattered his jaw, and he snorted, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Eve and Kagua took the opportunity to save the frightened knight, but they were too late to save the valiant knight. "Ahh

"Leave me alone!" he shouted. "Run!" was his last voice, and he drowned in the crowd of monsters. "No!" Eve was grabbed by Kagua to keep her from doing something stupid. "Let's go, Eve, there's nothing we can do. Kagua said with difficulty.

"It shouldn't be like this......" Eve felt so remorseful as she watched the valiant knight die in such an unknown way, she didn't even remember his name.
