. . . . .
Hiding behind the broken tree stump were a woman in her early twenties and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
The woman was wearing a black cloak, hiding her good figure in the shadows, only revealing some wavy long brown hair and stunningly delicate facial features.
She also held a silver chain in her hand, with a yellow crystal pendant at the bottom, which was rotating counterclockwise.
The woman was looking at Li Yan in astonishment at this time. She lowered her head and looked at the yellow crystal, the look of confusion on her face became heavier, and then she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something.
But she never asked, so Li Yan ignored her and turned his attention to the young man.
The young man was wearing white coarse clothes and looked clean. At this time, he was blocking the woman in front of her. He looked at Li Yan with a wary face. At the same time, he clenched his hands into fists in front of his chest, as if he was going to attack him at any moment. to attack.
The two people's clothes are black and white, which is a sharp contrast.
Li Yan put one foot on the wooden stake and looked down at the two people with an elusive smile on his face. He didn't say anything and just looked straight at the two people.
Li Yan made a judgment at the first sight of these two people.
He thought these two people were NPCs, not players.
Because generally speaking, when players encounter danger, as long as they can still move, they will always attack subconsciously.
Moreover, even when players face a life-and-death crisis, their emotional fluctuations will not be too intense, unlike NPCs, which are not as realistic.
After all, for players, this is just a game. Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn money, and even if you die, it will be the next game.
But for NPCs, life is life, only once.
Before, Li Yan could see the real fear on the faces of the two people in front of him.
Even great players can't perform such acting skills in an instant, so Li Yan thinks that these two people cannot be players.
The scene was deadlocked for a long time, and finally the woman couldn't help it and spoke first.
"Mr. Mercenary, my name is Anna, we..."
As soon as the words came out, the young man standing in front of him suddenly trembled, his figure quickly grew taller, and black hair grew all over his body.
The ears move upward, the sharp claws pop out, and the face protrudes forward.
In just a few seconds, the transformation from human to werewolf was completed.
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and felt happy.
Ouch, this is such an unexpected surprise.
And it seems that the time has come. Werewolves are rushing to transform during this time.
First it was Little Red Riding Hood, then this boy, and probably all the other werewolves had also transformed.
We're done here, now we have to go find the remaining werewolves.
Thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind, but Li Yan pretended to be frightened and took a few steps back.
After the boy transformed into a werewolf, he suddenly raised his head and howled while facing the moon.
When the woman named Anna next to him saw this, she immediately took out a piece of black bread and stuffed it into the young werewolf's mouth. Then she also took out a small wooden stick and stabbed it hard in the young werewolf's mouth.
At this moment, Li Yan seemed to hear Drunken Sword Fairy behind him giving an earnest education to Little Red Riding Hood: "Did you see, people can only eat black bread and have to use small sticks to make buckets, but you can also eat white bread, don't you know?" foot?"
Little Red Riding Hood: "嘤嘤嘤嘤~"
The young werewolf looked up to the sky and let out a long "oooooooo" sound, then stretched out his arms and rushed towards Li Yan.
"Bump", the tree stump in front of him was smashed into pieces of sawdust, and the cold light from the sharp claws was directed towards Li Yan's facade, and the fierce wind brought pain to Li Yan's cheeks.
Li Yan looked indifferent, tightened his grip on the long ax in his hand, and swung it at the werewolf like a golf club.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
The werewolf was hit hard by this blow and was sent flying, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times.
Li Yan twisted his neck and said, "If you dare to attack me again, you won't use this ax next time."
The young werewolf was obviously dissatisfied, covering his chest with one hand and supporting the ground with the other, as if he wanted to get up to resist.
Li Yan walked slowly to the young man's side, picked up the ax, and pressed the tip of the ax handle against the young man's chest.
"You naughty kid, this thing stabbed your heart. Even if you are a werewolf, you will still die no matter how strong your healing power is."
The young man didn't understand what the naughty kid meant, but he still knew that it was not a good thing to say. He still frowned and glared at Li Yan.
"Hey." Li Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You are the one who is following us, and you are the one who attacks me first, and you are still a werewolf. Don't you think I will treat you like a child and kill you?" You? Huh?"
As he spoke, Li Yan exerted force on his hand, and the spikes of the ax handle slowly penetrated into the young man's chest.
There was a look of pain on the young man's face, and he subconsciously reached out to attack Li Yan.
"No!" Anna on the side suddenly screamed, ran to Li Yan, and looked at Li Yan with pleading eyes.
Li Yan glanced at her sideways: "First, tell me why you are following us?"
"I...Actually, we are here to seek asylum." Anna said hesitantly.
"Huh? Why do you think we mercenaries will protect a werewolf?"
Anna bit her lip, and then said: "I am a fortune teller. I predicted today that something very dangerous and terrifying will happen to us. We cannot solve it with our own strength. According to the results of the fortune telling, Look, you’re the only ones who can help us.”
"Then why don't you come to us directly instead of following us secretly?"
Anna gave a bitter smile and said: "You also saw it, Juan - that is, this child, he is a werewolf. I was also surprised at first, why the divination result would be you, but after seeing this girl, I understood. "
With that said, Anna pointed at Little Red Riding Hood who was in the werewolf state behind Li Yan, and continued: "If you are willing to help this girl, and you have such strong strength, then you must be like me, a person with unusual power, and you must be the same in normal times. We have been persecuted by the Holy See, so you will definitely be willing to help us, right?"
Anna used three "sure"s in a row to try to get closer.
In fact, Anna originally wanted to find the witch with whom she had a good relationship, but for some reason, the witch actually refused to see her behind closed doors today, so she had no choice but to rely on divination to bravely come to find these mercenaries. .
"Well, it's not impossible to protect you." Li Yan rubbed his chin and said, "But, it seems that he killed the priest in the village, right?"
