"Click, click, click." The horse's hooves hit the ground quickly, bringing up patches of mud. A horse quickly rushed out of the woods and rushed to the exit of the sewer. Charles pressed his hat and looked at the exit of the sewer.

"There are many corpses. Is this where the City Guards disappeared?" Stopping his horse and turning down, Charles ran to the exit of the sewer without getting any closer to the corpses.

Looking at these shriveled and soaked corpses from a distance, the strange smell from the sewer outlet and the smell of decay entered the nasal cavity of Charles who was standing nearby.

This made him frown and feel very uncomfortable, but that was all. This guy who looked unreliable actually had a very good willpower, otherwise he would not have been attracted by Father Fang. action team.

After thinking for a while, a tarot card popped out from the pocket of the dress. It was in the right position, the wheel of fortune, and the magic flow. When it was thrown upward, the tarot card collapsed in the air and turned into translucent strips of light. Spread around.

These light strips autonomously cover the surrounding ground, revealing some special details. A relatively clear light footprint extends from the ground next to Shire until it disappears into a small bush in the distance. .

Glancing at the end of the glowing footprints under the bushes in the distance, Charles squinted his eyes and ignored it. Instead, he stared at an overturned corpse in the distance. The corpse fell face down in the puddle, immersed in the water. The body has begun to turn white due to water absorption.

In Charles' career, some inconspicuous luminous radio and television lights extended from the bottom of the corpse to the inside of the sewer.

"What is it? It's not dead yet..." Charles muttered, turned his palm, magic power surged, and he held a Sun Tarot card in his hand that was emitting light and gradually began to heat up.

The tarot cards were flipped in his hand, moving flexibly between his fingers. Charles passed the tarot card in his hand, shook his head, gave up the idea of ​​throwing it up directly, and made clear his position. His main purpose This is not your responsibility. Since you have teammates, then cooperate well.

"I hope Edward can hurry up." With a flick of his finger, the card flew up and disappeared into the air. Charles found a place to squat down and wait, looking at the body overturned in the water. patience? He has.



A large number of messy horse hooves and shouts reached Charles's ears. Charles stood up. At the same time, the branches and leaves in the forest swayed, and a large number of people and horses rushed out of it. The leader was Edward. They Wang Yuhe Aviya also followed on horseback, and the others were about a dozen Night Blade soldiers.

"Stop." Charles made a gesture from a distance, signaling Edward and the others to stop first and let the soldiers wait while Edward and the others came over first.

Quickly understanding what Ciel meant, the three dismounted and asked the other soldiers to wait for a while before running over.

"There is indeed a problem. A whole squad of City Guard soldiers are missing here. I'm not sure if it's the God of Gods Elfin, but he is the only one I can think of for the big problem in the sewers. Anyway, collect them first. Get some information, isn’t it ready-made?”

Charles gave a rough description of what he had found, and pointed at the overturned body with his finger.

Wang Yu took a look and did not release the ripples to explore. It would be bad if the ripples within a three-meter range could alert the enemy. Since Charles did not act rashly, they could not be so reckless.

"Edward and I will go up and control the limbs of this corpse. Aviya Shire, you can prepare to support us."

Wang Yu moved his body and looked at the body lying in the sewage.

"No problem." Charles agreed, while Edward and Aviya nodded slightly.

Without pausing, Edward and Wang Yu remained vigilant and approached the corpse that Ciel thought was problematic at a synchronized speed.

The ripples opened to the maximum without the blessing of the void, and Wang Yu concentrated on the corpse.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters, the corpse gradually entered Wang Yu's ripple range, and the full picture of the corpse also entered Wang Yu's field of vision little by little. The frightened face and the face that made Wang Yu feel somewhat familiar were seen on the missing list. The middle-aged soldier from the city guard team, Sam.

"The body of the missing member of the city guard? He should be the only one here. Sure enough, there is something wrong, and the ripples can't detect it...it is indeed alive."

Wang Yu had a rough idea after the ripples swept across it. If the ripples couldn't penetrate this guy's body, then there was only one possibility that this thing was alive.

He coughed lightly and signaled Edward with his eyes. The two nodded to confirm, and the next second they used their strength at the same time to rush towards the corpse at high speed.

The sudden approach seems to have triggered certain reactions in this "corpse". The weird and disgusting-looking half-faced foam-haired corpse's joints twisted and bounced weirdly. It looked like it had eyes on its back and used the back of its head to rush towards the front. It moved closer. Its Wang Yu.

When it suddenly bounced up, a large number of soaked flesh fragments fell down from the thing that was no different from a corpse, revealing the dense white bones without muscle and fat inside, as well as the broken and rotten internal organs. Turn your arms and grab Xiang Wang Yu, the fleshy palms seemed to be covered with something light gray.

The movement of this thing was unexpectedly fast. It was obvious that the body had been shattered and there was no integrity at all, but the flexibility of the thing's bounce was astonishing. The arm pulled out the afterimage, and the palm with exposed bones grabbed Wang Yu's chest. , Wang Yu did not dodge, and just let this thing thrust its claws into his chest.

"Crack!" The claw shattered before it touched Wang Yu. Three different layers of barriers appeared on Wang Yu, including Charles's Chariot Tarot Card, Edward's Iron Sun Knight Secret Technique, and Aviya's Earth. Blessing, there is actually a witchcraft barrier that Wang Yu himself cannot see.

The four layers of protection were in effect at the same time. The claws of the bouncing thing only shattered a little bit of the outermost layer when it hit it. Even the first layer of the barrier did not break. Instead, the bones of the claws of the thing shattered and exploded due to the collision with hard objects. When it opened, it splashed out together with the remaining flesh on it, which was extremely disgusting.

This thing felt no pain at all. After its limbs exploded, this thing twisted its neck 180 degrees without stopping, opened its mouth that was soaked along with its entire face, and bit Wang Yu's neck.

But this time, the faster one was Wang Yu who forcibly ignored the first attack. He grabbed the thing's shoulders with both hands and easily pressed it to the ground. The head of the "corpse" twisted around, but when Wang Yu was It is impossible to touch Wang Yu when Yu is fixed.

Edward, who arrived at the same time, also controlled the feet of the "corpse" at this moment. The corpse struggled to twist its body, and the rotten flesh all over it continued to fall down, revealing its rotten interior.

"What drives this thing? It can't be muscles!" Edward pressed the legs of the "corpse" and frowned as he looked at this thing that was constantly struggling with every piece of good meat on its body.

"I don't know, Aviya! Help seal this thing." Wang Yu called Aviya, and immediately the ground on both sides of the body that was pressed began to squirm, and a big hand made of rocks and soil came out from under the body of the "corpse" The ground rose up and held this thing inside.

The soil climbed up the giant hand and filled the gap between the giant fingers, tightly controlling the "corpse" inside, like a chrysalis made of soil, leaving only the hideous and festering head. Struggled and twisted outside.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this thing is really disgusting with its length." Charles leaned in front of this thing and stared at its disgusting face for a long time, then let out a useless sigh, which showed that he knew nothing about anything. Did not see it.

Wang Yu released the ripples again to see if he could freely explore the body of the thing. He found that he still couldn't, which meant that the thing was still alive. Rubbing his chin, Wang Yu thought of the things he had seen wrapped around the hands of the corpse before. Gray matter.

"Do you know what this is?" Wang Yu described the appearance of the gray substance to the others, but all three of them shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

"Aha, you need a professional at this time." Charles snapped his fingers and made a few gestures to the soldiers in the distance. These soldiers had been paying attention to this side. After seeing it, they immediately took action and separated. The two teams surrounded a small bush.

Wang Yu saw the small bush trembling. There should be something inside, but the two groups of people had already determined the location. There was no point or possibility in escaping. Soon, these soldiers leaned against an old man with a sad face. When we got here, it was the old man who was running away.

"Hey, are you looking at the sewer? Why did you run away?" Charles patted the face of the old man who was brought to him and asked.

"There's something wrong in that sewer! I've already warned them, sir!" the old man said with a humble expression, almost kneeling down in front of Charles.

"Okay, okay, then let him go and help us find out what this is?" Charles did not embarrass the old man and asked the soldiers to take the old man to the "corpse" wrapped in rocks and soil.

Pointing to the corpse, Charles asked the old man to tell him what it was. "I...I don't know." The old man looked at the sewer mouth and said tremblingly, and it didn't look fake.

"Really?" Charles asked him suspiciously.

"Really, I just discovered these weird corpses this morning, so I reported them immediately!" The old man explained again and again, fearing that Charles, who seemed to be moody, would mess with him.

"Then what are these bottles and jars?" Charles poked the small bottles hanging on the old man's body. These bottles were filled with powdery things, and they made a tinkling sound after being poked by Charles.

"It's used to detoxify and treat wound infections." The old man continued to explain in a panic, and he picked up a bottle, opened it and stuffed some into his mouth.

"It's true." Charles scratched his head.

"Show me." Wang Yu reached for the old man and asked for the bottle of stuff that the old man put in his mouth.

"Okay, okay." The old man didn't dare to refuse and immediately handed it to Wang Yu. In the process of taking it, Wang Yu suddenly grabbed the old man's wrist and pulled hard before the old man could react. .

Subconsciously, the old man struggled hard, and the problem became apparent at this moment. The old man who was supposed to be looking at the sewer exit showed strength that was inconsistent with his status. Wang Yu, who did not turn on the blood-burning drive, actually just pulled the guy a little, waiting for him When he reacted, he and Wang Yu were in a stalemate.

"Huh?" The old man, who hadn't realized what happened in a short period of time, noticed something else wrong. At some point, his ankles were framed by a pile of rising vines, but they didn't touch him.

When he and Wang Yu were wrestling, these vines showed their effect. A large number of vines quickly climbed up the guy's legs, binding his legs layer by layer. He tried hard to break free, and many of them broke with one force. , but this affected the confrontation with Wang Yu.

The moment he caught this guy distracted, Wang Yu's pull on him suddenly loosened, and the old man immediately staggered backwards. The fact that his ankles were tied made it even worse, and he fell directly backwards.

Waving his hands to maintain balance, he suddenly exerted force between his legs and broke free of these vines at once. This guy's strength was definitely not weak. He turned his body in the air and tried to support the ground with his hands. However, the old man faced more than just Wang. Yu is alone.

As if just waiting for him to do this, the ground where his hand was resting suddenly sunk. Unexpectedly, the old man lost his balance again, and what was waiting for him this time was a sudden wave of the lion with a flashing glow. 's shield.

The shield swung from the side was hit hard by Edward on the back of this guy's head, and the solid muffled sound made people's scalp numb.

The old man was dizzy after being hit, and the old man tilted his body and fell to one side, and a tarot card also flew to the guy at this moment with great tacit understanding, and hit the guy.

Reversed Chariot, the translucent thing is no longer a shield, but a shackle. The shackles turned into tarot cards are wrapped around every joint of the old man, making it difficult for him to use his strength.

He still didn't give up the struggle. Although the old man was restrained, he was still struggling and twisting on the ground like a maggot, looking extremely embarrassed.

Then, the four of Wang Yu and a dozen Night Edge soldiers surrounded him tightly. Looking at the swords and weapons stuck on the ground by Wang Yu and others, he finally became honest. , struggling is meaningless.

"How did you find out?" A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the old man's mouth. The words were full of anger and disbelief, as if he was very unbelievable that he was discovered.

"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard. With your disguise skills, I can't tell." Ciel acted normally as usual and came to the side of the restrained guy and said with a proud look on his face.

The old man's eyes were fixed on Charles, as if he wanted to know how he was discovered.

"Why should I tell you, you killed those city guards, right? Beat me to death first as long as it hurts, just leave a breath." Charles' expression and tone suddenly changed, from a playful smile to a cold and emotionless one .

The old man with a stunned look on his face was left behind, along with the Night Blade soldiers who were eagerly approaching.
