The battle with the evil gods had cost the humans dearly. More than half of the frontline troops were killed in an instant, and the vanguard troops led by Anluo were completely annihilated. Furthermore, the world curse released by the evil gods allowed evil spirits to invade this world.
The dead warriors became enemies. No matter if they were demons or humans, they would not let them go. Most of them had no intelligence and only knew how to kill.
In every battle, tens of thousands of evil spirits would appear. In just half a month, they had already formed a force that could not be ignored. Fortunately, they were even more afraid of the sun than the demons. During the day, they would hide underground or in dark corners, and there was no ruling level existence.
Their appearance forced the humans to stop the winter war.
The headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild was a huge building surrounded by ten-meter-tall walls. It was a huge fortress built by gathering the wealth of rich merchants from various countries. It was known as the strongest fortress of the humans.
At this time, the Adventurer's Guild was having a serious meeting. The oldest warrior, Anmihu, was sitting in front of the three highest decision makers. There were supposed to be seven of them, but it was a little difficult to get all seven of them to sit together.
"I have something to say about the evil spirit attacks that have appeared in many countries." At this time, a young woman with green hair and round eyes stood up. She had a head of fluffy hair and looked very furry, but her expression was very serious and did not make people feel that she was cute.
She hugged a dozen pieces of paper and distributed them in front of the others.
"In just two weeks and three days, just based on the information we have collected, there have been more than 27,000 evil spirit attacks. More than 40,000 people have gone missing, and more than 700 villages and towns have lost contact. Among them, 13 dark level adventurers have gone missing, 80 red level adventurers, 370 orange level adventurers, and 35 blue level adventurers. The confirmed death toll is 60 people. "
The woman who finished speaking was called Rayle Phoenix. She was only 25 years old and was the youngest decision maker. Her father was one of the founders of the Guild, and now she was replacing him.
But! She did not just rely on her father's name to get to this position. Rayle was a magic genius and a rare talent. She could control the air and light. She was a powerful magician who had risen directly from the first rank of adventurer.
"Ah!"
Just as she was nagging, a man in a singlet with a lazy look like a bear yawned.
Bang!
Rayle slammed her hands heavily on the table, frowning and glaring at the man.
"Mr. Leo! This is a serious discussion, so please do something befitting of your status! "
"Sigh, you're always so rigid. To think that you're the youngest one. In my opinion, you're even older than the president. Why don't you stop calling me Leier and call me Old Leier instead?"
Leo said casually.
"What!! Is that so?! "
Layel clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Suddenly, everyone slowly opened their mouths and covered their necks, revealing a suffocating expression. They stared at Layel with wide eyes and said weakly, "Phew! Breathe! I can't breathe! "
Amihu's voice reached Layel's ears. She suddenly came back to her senses and immediately apologized in surprise.
"I accidentally lost control again."
The three of them were panting. Leo had a frightened expression on his face as he complained, "It's because you use magic whenever you lose your temper that the others don't want to come to this boring meeting!"
Hearing this, Lael took a step back and sat down on the stool.
"This! This! I didn't do it on purpose! "
"Both of you, the meeting is more important." At this moment, a dejected Nila who didn't have much presence said weakly. Her voice was like a mosquito.
But it seemed that no one heard her. Layel and Leo continued to argue, and Amihu seemed to be asleep as he sat in his seat with his eyes closed.
"President ~ You should talk to them too."
Nila asked Amihu for help.
But at this moment, Layel and Leo realized that Amihu was acting strangely. They stopped and turned to look at the president.
He didn't move, and they couldn't hear his breathing.
"Dead?"
Nila tilted her head and asked, but Amihu didn't respond.
Leir and Leo also stopped arguing. Although no one thought of him as an old man, Anmihu was indeed an old man who was more than a hundred years old. Furthermore, after the battle with the Evil God, he had rushed back to deal with some matters. It was not certain if his body would have some unexpected problems.
"Ah! It can't be! "
Layle's eyes widened as she looked at the old man. His eyes were slightly closed as he sat quietly on the chair. Although she did not know why, his appearance reminded her of an ancient tree that was shedding its leaves, and Amihu was sitting quietly under the ancient tree with a layer of leaves covering his body.
"The president ~ is peaceful."
Nila said sadly as she wiped her tears.
"Don't cry so fast! How could the president die like this? "
Leo felt that things were not going well. If the guild leader were to fall at this time, it would be a serious problem. The Adventurer's Guild relied on Anmihu, a powerful hero. Without him, the remaining six leaders would be like a sheet of loose sand. At the very least, they would have to find the next successor before they died!
But at this moment, the president suddenly opened his eyes and naughtily stuck out his tongue and said, "He's not dead yet. He just fell asleep. Hahaha."
Seeing this, Leo and Layel let out a long sigh of relief.
Nila was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"Then, let's get down to business." Amihu suddenly became serious and looked at the four of them. He glanced at the paper in front of him and then said, "The current situation is not optimistic. This is also my fault. I should have waited for the professional magic sealing team to arrive before dealing with the evil creature."
"No, no! If you didn't kill the Evil God, then our front troops might have been wiped out, "Layel said hurriedly.
"Yes! The Evil God's threat is far more terrifying than the Evil Spirits. If you weren't here, the situation might … "
Leo suddenly shut his mouth, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.
He said what the Adventurer's Guild was most afraid of, which was that Amihu would suddenly fall. This was also what most people were afraid of. He was like a steel wire that carried more than a billion people.
But this steel wire was already rusty and on the verge of collapse.
Everyone was very clear about this matter, but they just didn't want to face it directly.
"So, the most urgent thing now is the Evil Spirits. Inform all the countries to stop the war and quickly clean up the Evil Spirits in the country. We also need to send a special team to study those Evil Spirits. Can I leave this matter to you?" Amihu looked at Nila. Nila was stunned and said weakly, "Yes, I can …"
Leave it to Nila alone? Layel was a little worried.
"Guild Master, I will go and help."
She stood up and said.
"No." Amihu shook his head and said, "There is a very important matter that needs your help."
Hearing this, Layel was stunned.
"In the past six months, there has been less and less news about the shapeshifting monsters. This makes me very concerned."
"Isn't that good?" Leo was confused.
Amihu was silent for a moment. His eyes were unfathomable, like a dark mirror.
"Maybe, but I have a very bad feeling that they haven't disappeared."
Saying this, he clapped his hands. Suddenly, a secret door opened and a goblin appeared behind Amihu.
The merchant sat quietly in the magic cage and didn't say a word. It made people feel a little strange.
"This is a merchant I met on the road. No, to be precise, it's a shapeshifting monster."
Suddenly, streaks of lightning emerged from the cage. The Goblin struggled and turned into a strange insect in front of everyone.
"You guys! Mother Empress! And! That lord definitely won't! Spare you! "The shapeshifting monster cried out in pain.
Layel's eyes widened. She seemed to have sensed something was wrong.
Amihu's face darkened and said, "As it said, I think someone is controlling the shapeshifting monsters. They are now more organized and hidden. I think this is the biggest threat right now."
He looked at Layel and said seriously, "Layel, I can only leave this matter to you. Find the mastermind behind the shapeshifting monsters and find and stop their actions."
"Yes! Guild Master. "
Layel replied decisively. Then she frowned as if she thought of something and asked, "Guild Master, may I ask where you met it and where it wants to go?"
"On the yellow side of the road. Maybe it wants to go to the Luas Empire or the dragon boat, but one thing is certain …"
Layel's eyes sharpened as she looked at the shapeshifting monster and said, "Then it must go to Stone City first!"
