The sky was cloudy, and a ray of sunlight on the horizon stained the clouds into a small pale gold.

Pumpkin Farm near an abandoned city.

The black-and-gray buildings are one after the other, silent. The surface of the building was gray and lackluster, and some doors and windows were smashed, leaving only a little remnant hanging from them.

In the central square, the sculpture in the middle of the circular fountain is slightly tilted, and the ground on the right side sinks, and a deep crack appears, as if someone has made a crack not far away with a knife, hitting the fountain pool, and shaking the sculpture crookedly.

To the left of the fountain pool is an oval meadow with only the base of a statue in the middle, and the sculpture is nowhere to be found.

The meadow was full of black-green hay, and it was dull and lifeless. The sides are connected together with iron chains and low stone pillars to form a guardrail.

By the guardrail, a tall man in black armor was standing at this time.

He stepped on the low stone pillar and took a closer look at his surroundings.

The whole city was silent, and in the distance there was a faint creak of doors and windows being shaken by the wind.

The man ripped off his hood, revealing a handsome fair face, with silky blonde hair draped over his shoulders and a three-point vermilion birthmark on his eyebrows. It was Garon, who had followed the fleeing silver-faced man.

He looked around left and right, as if listening carefully for something.

A faint golden halo shone from behind him, landing at his feet, illuminating the small half of the withered grass.

"Come out, I've seen you. Garon said calmly and loudly. The sound spread far and wide, reverberating in the city with a real reverberation.

"You've been on the run for a day, and you've run out of means. I don't believe you still have that kind of short-range positioning teleportation. Garon retracted his feet and walked slowly around the fountain pool.

Suddenly, the bottom of the fountain pool. The black sludge flickered slightly.

Wow!!

With a piercing scream, the mud arched open and scattered, sending out a blood-red shadow that slammed into Garon.

Boom!

The air behind Garon twisted slightly, smashing the red shadow back as if it were substance, and then falling back into the mud.

The red shadow rolled around in the mud a few times, and got up dizzily. That's when the whole thing is revealed.

It was a blood-red halfling with only the upper body and no lower body. From the waist down, there is no other part at all, as if someone has cut it off at the waist.

This blood-red halfling, with blood-red skin and solid muscles. but his head was like a locust. Long face. There are two straight tentacles on the top of his head, and there are hard shells on the surface of his body, as if he is wearing a layer of armor.

The halfling was only half a human height, and after rolling on the ground for a few laps, he shook his head and stood up, and actually floated directly in mid-air, and his lower body did not have any support, so he floated directly in mid-air.

He raised two sharp claws. Lunge at Garon again. Halfway through, he was bitten by an invisible giant mouth on his upper body.

Cha!!

Crackling. The halfling directly shattered into countless red chips and scattered them all over the ground, and soon, all the chips completely melted, turning into pools of blood and water deep into the ground.

"The fifteenth. Garon frowned slightly.

Since leaving the Red Group, he has been chasing down the silver-faced man who led the team, and he has come directly here from the pumpkin farm. Chased all night.

In this seemingly dead city, there are such blood-red halfling creatures everywhere, they are everywhere, hidden in any possible hidden corner, and often suddenly pounce to attack people.

The speed of these half-body monsters is very fast, and if they are replaced by totem masters who generally do not specialize in speed, it is impossible to deal with them, so they can only resist hard. But Garon is different, his strong five senses, and terrifying precision of secret martial arts, make him invulnerable to defend himself with only two dragon heads. Two invisible dragon mouths with a diameter of more than one meter, completely like two shields, surrounded and defended by Gareon's side at any time.

And this half-body monster liliang is not very strong, at most it is the level of an ordinary type of totem, and it is okay to deal with ordinary people, but Garon is

Even if he stood there and let them collide, he didn't know if he could break the defense for hours.

Suddenly, there was a familiar sound of footsteps in the depths of the city, hurried and tired. The sound was faint, and I didn't know how far away.

But Garon obviously heard it, a smile appeared on his face, and his feet walked directly in the direction of the sound, seemingly slowly, but each step spanned a distance of several meters, equivalent to the speed of an average person running wildly at all speed.

The other party should have no spare strength, and he can't even maintain the barely accelerated technique, and without the assistance of the totem, he can only run with his feet.

Garon estimated that even if he let him go, the other party would not be able to survive for long in this dangerous city, and there was not only a type of monster in this city.

I didn't chase far, and the footsteps in front of me became clearer and clearer.

In the distance, a small black dot had just scurried into an abandoned library building.

The library is mountain-shaped, topped by three spires, and in front of the gate stand two black-and-ash statues of human beings with batwing wings.

Garon hurried after him, his footsteps echoing through the empty city, as if there were many people running together.

Mars!!

As if the sound of the big man roaring, a dull and huge roar came out of the library, and even the ground was shaking violently, and some small stones were actually directly shaken by the sound.

The sound seemed to be a language, and it seemed to be a meaningless roar.

Boom!!

With a crackling sound of glass, a figure shot out of the library, flew upside down and drew a parabola, and slammed into a sculpture in front of the library, and after a muffled sound, rolled down from the sculpture and lay on its back.

It was the black-clothed silver-faced man who had just run into the library.

He gasped for breath and lay on the ground trying to straighten up, but it seemed that his waist was twisted and he couldn't get up at all.

Bang! Bang Bang!!

Heavy footsteps could be heard from inside the library, and there seemed to be some giant monster walking back and forth.

Soon, the footsteps died down, and silence returned.

Garon glanced at the library from afar, and he didn't know what monster was hiding inside. It looks amazing.

However, his first goal is to capture the Silverface.

With a step on his foot, his whole person brought out a black afterimage, spanning hundreds of meters in an instant, and stood directly in front of the silver-faced man.

The other party also saw a figure that suddenly appeared, and the shadow covered his head and appeared from behind.

He froze suddenly.

"You're finally chasing after you. Beneath the mask, his voice was unusually bitter. "According to the decree of the nobility, I have the right to pay for my actions in exchange for my life and freedom. I hope that Your Excellency, who is also a nobleman, will allow me to redeem myself. ”

"What's in there?" Garon didn't answer, instead looking in the direction of the library with interest.

The other party was stunned by his jumpiness, and then reacted. "I don't know. He smiled wryly.

"I've only been here last week, and there wasn't even this monster at the time, and now it's suddenly appeared. It was as if it had suddenly popped out of a crack in the stone, and it was clear that we had surveyed the surrounding area, and there was no such a giant monster within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. ”

"You don't know?" Garon was slightly stunned, "Didn't you make these monsters?"

"That's right. The silver-faced man shook his head, "But after the people of the Great Black Sky discovered the black copper mine, it seems that everything is out of control." I swear I've been involved in most of the monster experiments in the Great Black Sky and I've never seen a monster in its form. Never!"

Garon suddenly recalled the existence of the city troll, if the city troll was also created by the monster experiment of the Black Sky Society, it is estimated that no one would believe that the key Black Sky Society can create a monster that is so strong, and it would have been able to unify shijie a long time ago.

"What is that?" he asked, again, something he had never heard of.

The silver-masked man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you promise not to kill me, I'll tell you all I know. ”

"Yes. Garon nodded in response. "I still need you to help me contact other members of the Black Sky Society, why am I willing to kill you?"

The silver-faced man was stunned for a moment, looking at Garon's natural expression, and he was speechless for a while.

"I regret it now, I knew that this matter was so tricky, and I would never have acted on my own before. ”

"Tell me, what is Cuprite?" Garon asked lightly.

The silver-faced man struggled to his feet from the ground, leaning back against the base of the sculpture and gasping for breath.

"Copper Ore can be said to be the source of all monster mutations. I was originally a senior workshop master who conducted shiyan in Daikokuten, so I know these secrets very well. ”

He pulled out a small bottle of red liquid from his bosom.

"You don't mind if I drink some medicine, do you?"

"Of course. Garon nodded, "You're in terrible health. Even if I can still run, I can catch you back. ”

The silver-faced man smiled wryly.

"Initially, we found an abandoned altar beneath a ruin. The altar was made entirely of a metal that was neither gold nor silver. The whole body is pitch black, but it is not the iron and copper that we are familiar with. One of the explorers of Daikokuten was the first to discover the altar, and then after discovering this brand new metal, the whole of Daikokuten was interested. We sent a large number of researchers into the altar to study this strange metal. ”

"The altar itself is useless, it has long been old and completely abandoned. But the metal from which the altar was made, after a study of cutting, scholars made a surprising discovery. ”

"What discovery?" Garon was also intrigued by him.

They found that the properties of this metal were very similar to copper, so they simply named it black copper, not only for the altar, but also for the altar to have an amazing reserve of black copper. The silver-faced man smiled bitterly again, "This black copper metal actually carries an amazing activity in itself. ”

"Active?" (To be continued......)
