Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 63 The Lost Village

Judith's expression was serious, her figure sprang out like electricity, and stopped in front of the frightened horse as if teleporting in the blink of an eye.

"Get out of the way!" The Orion showed shock, and hurriedly controlled the horse's rein to try to stop suddenly.

But he saw a jade-white palm suddenly raised, holding down the raised horse's head, making it difficult for the rushing horse to take a step forward as if it was frozen.

"You—" Orion's eyes widened, looking at Judith as if he was looking at a monster in human skin.

With a cold face, Judith scolded, "Do you know that what you just tried to ram into was the carriage of the Rudolph family?"

The hunter just caught a glimpse of Tulip's family crest, and his face was pale.

"What happened?"

Luna came over coquettishly, motioned Judith to back with her eyes, and asked the hunter, "You are so desperate to drive an unfamiliar horse, must there be some compelling reason?"

Hearing Luna's judgment on the "unfamiliar horse", Orion's face was a little ugly.

He got off the horse obediently, gritted his teeth, and replied in a trembling tone: "It's a devil, my lord! A devil has attacked our Ham village! I, I have no other choice!"

demon! ?
Hearing this word, everyone present changed their expressions.

It was an evil creature bred from the abyss.On the Continent of Kanya, there is only one space rift known to be connected to the abyss in the northern border area.

A demon running from the northern border appeared in the southern part of the empire?This is obviously unrealistic. The biggest possibility is that new abyssal fissures have also appeared in the southern region.

When everyone was shocked by the news, Li Yong stepped forward, but said: "You are fleeing alone on a horse that is obviously not your own. Obviously, you have abandoned the people in your village. Well, don't use that expression, We just want to know how many demons appeared when and how? What is the situation in Ham Village now? You just need to tell the information you know as much as possible. Where are you going? That time gets in the way."

Orion saw that Li Yong was well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and realized that the young man in front of him was also a nobleman, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey, and only then hurriedly continued to escape after telling what he knew in detail.

As for relying on the nobles and his party, he didn't even dare to mention it.

There is only one demon, and it seems to be the type that is good at using fire.

The source is unknown, the duration of appearance is unknown, and the intensity is unknown, but it cannot destroy the entire village in an instant.

More than 10 minutes have passed since Orion fled the village. When he left, nearly half of the villagers were fleeing.

Based on comprehensive judgment, the absolute power of this demon should be between the black iron level and the bronze level.

"I want to go and see."

After Li Yong spoke like this, no one raised any objections. The group stopped their rest and rushed to the direction of Ham Village before night fell.

Ham Village is a day's journey away from Maple Leaf Town by horse-drawn carriage. If the target is walking around aimlessly, it is not easy to bump into it.

But the most important thing is not the demon itself, but its reason for being here.

In order to deal with the only abyss rift before, the northern part of the empire specially arranged a defense line.If a new abyss fissure appeared near here, Maple Leaf Town existed like this, but it was just a piece of duckweed in the big waves.

……

When Li Yong and his entourage arrived outside Ham Village, the flames surrounding the entire village in the mouth of the hunter had already been extinguished, leaving only a ruined wall, no human breath, and no trace of the demon that manipulated the flames.

Looking north along the road at the entrance of the village, on the waterway, the wooden bridge they originally needed to pass had broken, which meant that they had to detour the same way.

But before that, the most important thing is to find traces.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and Haruna was stationed there, while Li Yong, Luna, and Judith searched around Ham Village and inside the village respectively.

Li Yong shuttled through the ruins of Ham Village alone, and from time to time he could smell the smell of burnt protein and see corpses that were black as charcoal.

This tragedy made him frown.

Demons are creatures that feed on negative emotions. Of course, in order to taste the ultimate fear, they do not reject the use of human flesh and blood as food, just to increase the firewood of fear.

From the scene in front of him, it can be seen that this demon seems to be more inclined to create panic directly through destruction.

On the contrary, there are traces left by the demon everywhere, so it is difficult to judge the direction it left in the end.

But suddenly, he stopped.

He heard breathing.

Li Yong didn't say anything, he held his breath slightly, and looked intently in the direction of the faint breathing sound.

It was a half-destroyed stone house, and under the backlog of what seemed to be destroyed cooking utensils, an old woman with gray hair was left alone here.

Most of her body was buried by rubble and objects, only the part above the collarbone was in the air. From the red spots on her body, it can be inferred that most of her body under the rubble should have been necrotic.

She looked up at the sky, her eyes were loose, and it seemed that only a faint consciousness remained, and she did not notice that there were others coming from the village.

Li Yong's face changed, and he hurriedly called out to Luna's direction: "Luna, here!"

Its sound is controlled by the muscles of the throat, very penetrating, and transmitted through the wind.

After Li Yong finished calling, he hurriedly walked up to the old woman, and carefully and quickly removed the backlog of things on her body.

Fluorescence suddenly flickered around her, and Luna came quickly driving a unicorn. She summoned the natural flower spirit Linowei, and the breath of life emerged, and the old woman's complexion improved a lot in an instant.

Luna sighed to Li Yong, and said, "Li Yong, she is hopeless."

Li Yong clenched his fists tightly, and then quickly released them.

Why is there an old woman left here alone?
The reason can be figured out without much thought. In all likelihood, when the devil attacked, the villagers would not care about her at all. The old woman probably didn't get any warning. She is getting older and has many inconveniences in her legs, feet, eyesight and so on. Before he even had time to leave the house, he was affected and buried here half alive.

Perhaps it was because the old man's spirit was too weak, and the demon even accidentally ignored his existence, allowing him to live until they arrived.

"Kaya? My dear granddaughter, where are you..."

It seems that Luna's healing has had some effect. The old woman seemed to be returning to the light, whispering softly, and suddenly realized something, her eyes widened slightly.

"No, no, I can't die yet, she, she was captured by a monster, I'm going to rescue her!"

Power from nowhere made the old woman straighten her upper body, but most of her lower body was necrotic. After straightening her upper body, she staggered and was about to fall face down.

Li Yong stretched out his arm suddenly, supported the old man, and asked in a deep voice: "Your granddaughter, where did she go?"

The old woman opened her mouth and turned her head slightly to look at the place where the setting sun was setting.

"Okay, I see." Li Yong nodded vigorously.

The old woman seemed to be relieved, her tense cheeks relaxed, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Although speechless, Li Yong did hear the old woman's voice of thanks.
