The jet-black, 5-legged monster opened its mouth wide and swallowed a human head into its stomach.
「 Ooooooooo, how wonderful! How wonderful! 」
The wraith monster uttered a resounding roar with a human voice.
After eating the human head, its whole body wriggled up and down, and another long leg grew out.
The six-legged human-faced monster looked up, searching through the fleeing crowd and quickly locked onto a certain girl.
「 Ah, such a fragrant smell, could it be a believer of the Goddess of Flowers and Spring Water? 」 the monster smirked, then abruptly let out a cruel high-pitched laugh: 「 It must be delicious! 」
A second later.
A faint shadow flashed. The monster appeared in front of the girl, its two blade-like legs stabbing towards her.
The girl panicked and shouted: "Frost Spring!"
A cold current appeared out of nowhere and struck the six-legged human-faced monster's body.
The monster's body leaned back a bit, then stopped.
It looked down at the girl from above and casually spoke:
「 That's all? You really are the lowest form of believer — — your greatest value is to provide a bit of power for my evolution! 」
While it spoke, the monster reached out its four legs and caught the girl.
It opened its mouth full of tiny, sharp teeth — — -
All of a sudden, the sound of air being torn apart resounded in the wind. Five blue-white arcs of lightning struck its head.
The monster staggered from the attack.
The power of the lightning caused its entire body to twitch and freeze in place, unable to move at all.
— — -Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Dreamjolt]
Gu Qing Shan put her bow away and shouted: "Crow!"
Right at this moment, a black figure flew through the sky and landed on top of the monster's head.
The female knight wielded a rapier, stabbing it deep into the monster's head at an extremely slow speed.
"Explode"
She spat out a single word.
Boom!
Flames shot to the sky!
The monster's gigantic body crashed into the ground, no longer breathing.
Crow, on the other hand, had already retreated several dozen meters away with the girl in her arms.
"Beautiful girl, may I invite you for dinner?"
Crow looked down at the girl in her arms and displayed her usual charming smile.
The girl felt grateful and replied: "Thank you for saving me, of course you can, aunty"
Aunty — — -
Crow's expression froze.
Gu Qing Shan turned her head away and put the arrow back on the bowstring.
The longbow in his hand was one of the three items in the chest. It was the best bow in the town, and it was very fitting for the mayor's identity.
— — there was still one monster left.
Gu Qing Shan was silent for a moment, then her hands suddenly moved quickly.
Swish swish swish swish swish!
Archery, Chaotic Dance —
Seven or eight arrows flashing with lightning streaked across the sky in irregular arcs, all of them shooting towards the monster.
The monster stretched out its long legs and knocked away five arrows, but there were still two arrows stuck in its body.
The monster immediately convulsed, unable to move for a moment.
Lightning god art, Dreamjolt!
This divine ability had always been very useful.
Eight knights suddenly appeared and rushed forward. With extremely clean slashes, they dismembered the monster on the spot.
"Knight! It's someone from the Viscount Manor! "
"Young Master Rode has also made his move!"
"The monster has been killed —"
"We're saved!"
The crowd cheered.
The Viscount envoy appeared from the void of space, standing next to Gu Qing Shan.
"Young master Rode, do these kinds of monsters often appear in your town?" he asked.
"Never, and these people are clearly from the Wraith realm, I just don't know what happened to them" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The envoy fell into thought.
"How strange …" he muttered.
Gu Qing Shan reminded him: "From what that monster said just now, we can tell that it still remembers everything that happened when it was still a wraith"
The envoy nodded: "It seems they ran into some sort of misfortune, a bit like — — -"
The envoy turned his head and looked at the crowd who were watching the show from afar. He asked loudly,
"Are any of you believers of the Lord of Plague?"
No one answered.
The envoy then asked: "What about the Torment Serpent? And the Maiden of Pain? Are any of you believers of these two Deities? "
Everyone exchanged glances. An old man gathered his courage and replied: "Sir, we're all farmers, we usually worship the Deities of Dawn, Earth, and Spring, none of us believe in the Deities of Death"
The envoy also felt a bit helpless and turned his gaze back to the monster's corpse.
If there were believers of the Lord of Plague, they would be able to tell what kind of poison these two wraiths were afflicted with.
But for a small farming town, it would be a bit difficult to find such believers.
The envoy turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: "Very well, I'll bring these two corpses back to the prefecture, while investigating the cause, I'll also notify the people of the Wraith realm, perhaps they might know something — — young master Rode, what do you think?"
"I'm very grateful to have received your assistance in the matter of Ramon town" Gu Qing Shan said.
The envoy nodded, walked forward, and began to order the knights to collect the monster's corpse.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to follow to take a closer look at the corpse, he felt an intense pain from his wrist.
The blue pattern once again burst into flames.
Thousands of hurried voices resounded in his ears:
[An unexpected situation has occurred]
[A tiny fragment of the monster's world had suddenly intruded your location. From a dimensional perspective, it will overlap with Ramon town for about 10 minutes]
[After 10 minutes, this fragment will continue to float forward, the overlapping effect between it and Ramon town will disappear]
[Attention, you must ensure your own survival, as well as the survival of your people as much as possible]
Overlapping worlds?
Gu Qing Shan drew an arrow, nocked it on the bowstring, and cautiously observed his surroundings.
The sky was alternating between night and day, clouds occasionally appeared and completely disappeared at other times.
On the ground, various illusory scenes were slowly becoming solid.
Monsters!
Gu Qing Shan's heart tightened and shouted: "Militia! Where are the militia? "
A group of farmers parted the crowd and stepped forward.
They held various weapons in their hands and loudly replied: "Young master Rode, we heard that there were monsters eating people, so we immediately gathered and rushed here!"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze swept through these people.
— — indeed, this was one of the strongest worlds, but these people were only the most ordinary of farmers.
Perhaps they were experts in farming, or perhaps they were capable of dealing with some wild beasts, but it was still far from enough to rely on these people to fight against truly terrifying monsters.
Gu Qing Shan immediately ordered: "Gather everyone in the town and take refuge in the disaster shelter, go now!"
When they first explored this land, there were many wild beasts. To better defend against the ferocious beasts' attacks, the first group of pioneers worked together to create a sturdy disaster shelter.
The farmers were all stunned.
It's been many years since I've been to that place.
— — -furthermore, wasn't the monster already killed?
All of a sudden, a gigantic foot appeared from the void of space and stomped heavily on the ground.
Bam!
Everyone was shaken off the ground. Large numbers of houses collapsed from the impact.
The foot was as large as two houses, with no end in sight.
As it stomped on the ground, it disappeared into the void of space, disappearing without a trace.
This scene stunned everyone.
Gu Qing Shan's sense of unease was becoming stronger.
Quite obviously, what happened just now was the sign of overlapping worlds.
Once they completely overlapped, the owner of the foot just now would appear.
"Militia, heed my order, go! If anyone dares to screw up at this point, I, Rhode, swear that I will hang them in front of everyone! "Gu Qing Shan sternly shouted.
The farmers trembled as if they just woke up from a dream.
They immediately turned around, loudly calling for the villagers to head towards the disaster shelter.
"What's the situation?" Crow came over and sent his voice to ask.
"The overlapping worlds will last for about 10 minutes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow also appeared cautious.
The Viscount envoy brought 8 knights and walked next to Gu Qing Shan.
"Young master Rhode, you seem to know something"
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "Of course, there have been more and more strange occurrences recently. Today, I even found a giant wolf that I've never seen before in the wilderness. My knights and I had to use everything we had in order to kill it"
The Viscount envoy appeared cautious and asked: "What do you think the situation is? Is it the prelude to another Duchy's invasion? "
"No, I think it's even worse than that" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Viscount envoy glanced at the collapsed buildings, then at the monster corpses on the ground, asking: "Do you think we need reinforcements?"
"If we do, come immediately" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Viscount envoy drew his short staff without hesitation and lightly tapped the void of space.
He quickly chanted: "I, the priest of the God of War, hereby summon the Duchy's 5th border guard, requesting immediate reinforcements"
A few moments later.
The void of space opened up, revealing a fully-armored man.
He looked at everyone and declared with a cold and stern voice:
"I have accepted your summons"
"The 5th border guard is currently on their way, arriving in 30 seconds, ready to engage in battle at any moment"
"However — –"
"I must remind you, if you summon the Duchy's border guard, only to be found to be a false report, not just you, but even your Viscount will be severely punished"
All was quiet.
The knights of the Viscount prefecture gulped nervously.
The Viscount envoy maintained his calm and pointed at Gu Qing Shan: "This is the mayor, as well as a newly awakened Condemner, he is requesting your assistance"
"Condemner …"
"Condemner?"
The man glanced at Gu Qing Shan and took off his helmet.
He was a ferocious-looking man with an expression full of killing intent.
He looked at Gu Qing Shan, observed her for a bit, then loudly declared:
"A Condemner … how rare, why are you looking for trouble with our border guard?
"I'm not looking for trouble" Gu Qing Shan spoke with a serious expression: "I have an emergency here, I'm afraid that monsters will soon attack the town, the militia won't be able to deal with them"
The ferocious-looking man walked forward, the cold expression on his face slowly disappeared.
"So that's what it is, you should have told us earlier, we brothers will definitely help you deal with it"
The ferocious-looking man patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder and enthusiastically said.
