Chapter 69: Tracking (I)

"You shouldn't be so impulsive. ”

Back on the second floor, Rhodes pulled Caroline into his room......

"He's questioning the truth!"

Caroline said dissatisfied.

"It's normal for people to question when they don't see the truth. ”

Rod replied lightly, unwrapping a pack of coffee. This is one of Caroline's favorite drinks.

"You risked your life in exchange, why should he question its authenticity?"

Despite Rod's patience and comfort, Caroline was still a little resentful. After all, on that day, she also took part in the campaign. I saw the tragedy of the war for myself. And the people in the rest of the kingdom are just putting on a posture that they don't care about themselves, which is really very unpleasant.

"It's just a few people who question it, and you can see it, and most people don't listen to it with relish? Some people are even enthusiastic on the spot. Most people still believe it, don't they?"

Rod continued to be relieved. Of course, he knows that the middle class and the lower common people are different, the middle class has experienced some cruel and dark competition, and has seen some dark insiders, and their road to wealth accumulation is not so smooth and bright, so it is normal to be suspicious of other people's words. Like Kidd, the owner of this tavern, who knows if his family played some shady tricks when they bid for this treasure land, growing up in such a family environment, it is natural to be a little suspicious of anything.

"You're always so indifferent. ”

Caroline crossed her hands over her chest and pouted.

"Shh......h

The coffee was quickly brewed, and Rhodes brought it up, and just as he was about to enter it, a strange sound came to his ears.

"What's wrong?"

Caroline looked confused, she didn't have Rhodes' good hearing, and in the silence of the night, all she could hear was the rats tinkering in the ceiling of the tavern, and nothing else. Unlike Rod, Erson's incomparably keen sense of smell and hearing allows him to hear subtle sounds that ordinary people can't hear.

"There was movement, not in this tavern, but from the house opposite. ”

Rhodes opened the window and looked out into the darkness of the night.

Just as Rod sniffed the danger of the night like a wild wolf, Yeskovich also stomped on Rhodes' door with restless steps. Beauty Nest

"I smelled, a familiar smell. ”

Yeskovich whispered. He closed the door of the room, and of the five people, except for Bogur, who was still asleep, everyone else got up, and although Tallinnam could not hear the slightest sound, he did not dare to be careless after being woken up by Yeskovich. He had clenched the crow crossbow that Dafort had left for him.

Soon, Rhodes decided to go out and have a look, and made a gesture that everyone quickly understood. Started jumping out of the windows one by one. Yeskovich was the most agile of his creatures, and having lived in the wild for many years, he was most familiar with climbing, but the object of climbing changed from wild forests and mountains to stone houses.

The shaman was the first to climb out of the window, and with a vigorous jump, he jumped into the street and quickly disappeared into the night. Talinnam then jumped off, and after landing on the ground, a nimble forward roll relieved the force on his legs and feet, and then jumped with Yeskovich into the opposite house.

Caroline, who did not dare to jump out of the window, was forcibly jumped out of the window by Rhodes. When he landed, the soft ball on his chest just pressed against Rod's chest, but there was no time to be pretentious, both Rod and the Frost Witch quickly got up and ran to the opposite house.

The sound came from the alley, and even after a few minutes, it didn't go away. Where the moonlight shone, the shadows of the four men were like ghosts, leaving shadows that hurriedly passed by the walls.

Their footsteps were extremely light, and they quickly approached their target silently. On the roof of a three-story residential house, Rod and Yeskovich see their target, a vampire who is drinking blood. However, it didn't look like an old vampire, but a very young vampire, and his appearance was almost human. Aside from the outstretched claws and nearly lost hair, the rest of the body was almost indistinguishable from a human. Perhaps because of this, he didn't notice that someone was watching him overhead while eating.

And the target of his hunt is not humans, but ponies in the stables...... Rhodes doesn't know how he managed to keep the pony from making a sound when attacked. But it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that now, I found it myself. As Tavern Owner Kidd said, most of the people killed in the attack over the past two months were livestock, not humans, which is why there has been no mass panic here.

Rod made a gesture, and Tallinnham understood, aiming his crossbow at the vampire who was eating.

The trigger pulled, and the crow's light crossbow fired a venomous arrow at the black shadow in the stable. A crossbow machine specializing in hunting vampires, the bolt is almost silent when discharged, and it slides like a shadow into the night sky and shoots into the body of a monster in the dark.

I heard a terrible scream, and all the people in the surrounding houses were awakened. Hit by an arrow in the leg, the vampire screamed and pulled out the arrow, and ran wildly.

And Rhodes and his party quickly followed. Under the bright moonlight, Yeskovich let out a low roar, and his body quickly deformed during the run, thick hair quickly grew all over his body, his arms instantly became twice as thick as before, sharp claws stretched out from between his fingers, his head was quickly deformed, and soon, the whole person turned into a vigorous cheetah!

The speed is several times faster than before.

He jumped from rooftop to rooftop, chasing the wounded vampire. Rhodes followed closely behind, and although he had no shape-shifting ability, he was also strong and fast, like the chase scenes in countless movies, where the prey and the hunter jumped and ran one after the other.

Perhaps because of the poisoned arrow, the vampire's speed fluctuated and slowed down, but it was about to keep up, and it was quickly thrown away some distance. It jumped on the roof and into the alley, and Rod drew his tomahawk and threw it with ferocity.

The Thunder Tomahawk pierced the night sky, but it didn't hit its target, it just smashed the fruit seller's stall, and as he ran, Rhodes called out to the Tomahawk. The Mithril weapon, engraved with the Master of Flight's rune, spun and flew back into his hand.

Caroline and Tallinnham were soon left behind, and Rhodes noticed that on the roof of the house on the other side, there was a man chasing the vampire, just like himself, who was fast, fast, and light as any Assassin or Ranger.

And this person is the man in black they have seen in the tavern these days......
