They didn't dare to run around, so they hid in a room in the basement. The strange thing was, this shelter was similar to an underground city. It was extremely spacious, and there were even small independent rooms.
Kate held a broom, and the two hid in a corner and pricked up their ears.
"Do you remember which direction we came from?" Kate asked quietly.
Reina shook her head with a bitter face. They ran too fast, turning left and right. They didn't know where they were.
Kate's face turned even uglier. He gritted his teeth. As a boy, he had to protect her, but he was scared too.
The fire in the distance couldn't shine on them. Suddenly, the fire flashed, and a terrifying figure appeared at the end of the passage.
The two held their breaths, and their faces were filled with fear.
It was a monster! A monster with a mouth like a mantis. It was wearing human clothes and carrying a human corpse in its hand. It was an adventurer like Reina and the others. It was eating the corpse like snacks.
Fear weighed down on their hearts like a mountain. They couldn't control their facial expressions. Their faces were taut.
Death.
This was the first time Reina and Kate faced the fear of death directly.
The insect-like monster looked in their direction. The two tried their best not to make a sound, and the sound of their heartbeats made them even more nervous.
What do we do? What do we do?
Kate gritted his teeth, and a large amount of sweat appeared on his face. He was trembling, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
If they were discovered, they would die!
Fortunately, the monster didn't seem to notice them, or it had its eyes on other prey, and ran away.
In fact, the monster just stopped at the intersection a few times and looked in their direction. The whole process took less than five seconds, but for the two, it was too long.
"It's gone," Reina said in a mosquito-like voice.
"Haa …" Kate opened his eyes wide and took deep breaths.
He was too scared. He wanted to escape.
"It's not safe here. We have to find a way out," Reina said.
Kate shook his head. He couldn't do it. He admired Reina for being able to maintain her rationality in this situation.
"Kate, let's go."
Reina got up like a cat, but Kite did not move.
"Kate!" Her voice grew louder, as if she was anxious.
Carter looked at her and shook his head. Reina realized that his legs were shaking badly. It seemed that his legs had gone soft.
There was no other way.
Suddenly, Reina grabbed his hand and dragged him away. Kite was shocked that she had so much strength that he didn't even have the ability to resist. He could only hold the broom and sweep the floor behind her.
…
In the wilderness outside the city, the Silver Knight who came to investigate the mysterious murder case had a dark expression on his face.
Behind him stood four orange-yellow adventurers, staring coldly at his back.
"So, the case you're talking about happened here?"
Silver Knight said coldly.
"Yes."
One of them replied with a murderous look on his face.
The Silver Knight did not turn around. His right hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
"When did this happen?" he continued to ask.
"Now!"
In an instant, a silver ring flashed. With a clear sound, the four of them were cut in half like pieces of paper.
This sword could not be used with ten years of skill. It was as fast as lightning, fast and accurate without any hesitation.
"Damn it! Isn't this guy crippled! "
However, the adventurers who were cut in half suddenly propped up their bodies. With a bang, the clothes on their upper bodies burst open. One of them grew wings, one of them grew a scorpion-like stinger, one of them grew a terrible giant jaw, and the last one turned into a strange earthworm-like object. Suddenly, it connected the other three and became an ugly and terrible monster.
The Silver Knight frowned.
"It's not a shapeshifting monster. It's a ghost worm!"
After that, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes glanced at the bright red blood on his hand, but his face did not change at all.
"Haha! You have already been poisoned by our insect poison. Whatever you do is just a last-ditch struggle! "
After the monster finished speaking, it launched an attack. Its terrible stinger stabbed straight at Sieg. Sieg took a step forward and stepped deep into the ground. Then he waved his sword with his right hand. When it touched the stinger, a lot of sparks burst out. He immediately used his left hand to clamp the opponent's tail.
Sieg instantly changed the direction of his sword. With a twist of his wrist, the stinger rotated. The direction of the stinger was changed, and it brushed past his waist armor, bursting out a lot of sparks.
In this short second, Sieg raised the tip of his sword and changed his attack. In an instant, he stabbed at the enemy's chest. Unexpectedly, one of the enemy's jaws bit his sword. Sieg twisted the hilt of his sword. In an instant, the inscriptions on the sword emitted a red light. It directly extended by two times and pierced through the enemy's head.
"What!!"
Sieg did not know which part of the enemy made a surprised sound. The next moment, Sieg's sword directly cut off half of the insect's head.
However, it did not fall down. The wings on its back suddenly flapped quickly and took Sieg to the sky.
Sieg frowned. Just as he was about to escape, his waist was suddenly bound by something. It turned out to be the enemy's stinger.
"You can't do anything in the sky!!"
The insect let out a terrifying roar. Sieg immediately pulled back his sword. The sword instantly returned to its original shape. In the next moment, the insect's hook-like claws tightly held onto Sieg.
"You have nowhere to run!"
The other voice was even more terrifying. It should have come from the insect's body.
At this moment, they were already dozens of meters in the air.
However, Sieg's expression was not surprised. He placed the sword in front of his chest. Suddenly, the sword emitted a blue light. At the same time, blue inscriptions appeared on his silver armor.
"I've never heard of you having this skill!"
The insect was shocked.
Sieg faintly smiled and said, "This is not my skill. It's the sword's."
In the next second, many spikes grew out of his armor and the insect's limbs were all broken.
"Ahhh!!"
The insect immediately let go and threw Sieg down.
It wanted to throw Sieg to his death.
Sieg, who was falling, immediately pointed his sword at it. At the same time, the armor on his body turned back into a round shape. The sword emitted a red light, and the sound of chains clanging could be heard. The tip of the sword shot out, and the rest of the sword turned into a retractable chain. It accurately hit the unsuspecting bug.
"What!! There's such a change! Ahhh!! "
The insect let out a cry. It desperately flapped its wings, but it was unexpectedly dragged down by Sieg.
Not long after, the Silver Knight's feet touched the ground. He gritted his teeth and held the sword with both hands. He threw the insect in the sky to the ground. With a bang, the insect was thrown to the ground and smashed into pieces.
Pu!
The Silver Knight knelt on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I have to hurry back to the union."
He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked towards the city.
