Not long after, Mayor Cole hurried over with several villagers holding torches.
When the firelight reflected the stumps and severed limbs on the ground and the dazzling scarlet color, the villagers let out a gasp of horror.
A few timid ones even vomited it out.
Cole Mayor was stunned on the spot. He looked at the severed head, his face turned pale, his eyebrows kept trembling, and finally he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Kill——kill well!"
Cole stamped his feet suddenly, his eyes turned red.
"My lords, don't be surprised. These beasts are all scoundrels in the town. The leader is called Ralph. He used to be a supervisor in the mine. He usually bullies the poor because of the large number of people."
"The mine collapsed and monsters came. These bastards didn't help, but only made things worse----"
He looked at the crazy woman, shook his head and sighed.
"Her name is Mana, and she is a miserable person. Her man, Piers, died in the mine a month ago and was mutilated by monsters under the mine----"
"She was stimulated at that time, and now she is a widow. Ralph and these people are thinking about how to get her every day. We can't guard her all the time, and she is not mentally normal."
"Hey, this damned world is worse than these monsters!"
Arwen stood quietly, listening to the crazy woman's chatter.
"Monsters, you are all monsters----"
"Woo----"
Elena took off his cloak and covered Mana as gently as possible.
"What are you still doing? Let's take her back to the house first."
Cole reacted, "Yes, yes, come on, help me."
Cole asked a strong woman to help Mana and walked towards the house not far away.
"Lord Commander, Master Demon Hunter, you have also seen the situation, the monster in this mine----"
Cole looked bitter.
Arwen said calmly, "After daybreak, I will go back to the mine to deal with it."
Cole's vicissitudes of life gradually brightened.
"Excellent, Master Witcher, may the gods bless you."
The next morning.
The black mine mouth is looming in the morning mist, and ice picks hang from the top of the rock wall, like the sharp fangs of monsters.
Arwen sat on his knees, opened his cat eyes slowly, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Drink----"
Stand up with one hand on the ground, [Meditation Afterglow] is triggered.
His senses were much clearer.
He took out two bottles of medicine from his leather jacket and drank them one after another. The cold liquid fell down his throat and into his abdomen.
The effects of the potion spread all over his limbs and bones, his heart pounded, and his veins popped out one by one, like twisted black earthworms.
The yellow pupils shrank sharply until they were in the shape of a needle.
The colors in his sight quickly faded, leaving only gray and cold tones.
[cat], [Tawny Owl].
"Shashasha----"
Arwen Looking out of the corner of his eye, several red outlines appeared.
Elena tightened the leather arm guards, "Check your equipment."
The commander gave an order, and the five knights behind him immediately carried out the order.
"Report to Commander, confirm it is correct."
Elena walked up to Arwen and saw the ferocious face, but did not feel afraid.
"Everything is ready, let's get started."
Arwen said, "According to the plan, you don't have to go down with me."
"No," Elena shook his head, "I asked the miners here. The topography of the mines inside is very complex. Even if it is well marked, it is easy to get lost in it."
"And more people can also bring more strength. As Upper March commander and knight, if you are really in danger, we will not hold you back."
Arwen nodded. Although the contact time was short, he could feel Elena's fierce acting style.
Elena immediately ordered, "Zachary, bring two people to meet you at the entrance of the cave, and pay attention to the surrounding areas.
"The remaining two come with me."
Zachary Knight took the order in a deep voice and led his people to guard the exit.
Arwen put his right hand over his shoulder, pulled out the Thor Ivy silver sword, and entered the mine first, followed closely by Elena carrying the hornbeam longbow.
The two knights also followed up, holding hammers in their right hands, coated with silver, which could cause greater damage to Ghoul.
They held torches in their left hands, the flames flickering, bucklers hung on their arms, and they were fully armed.
About a hundred steps into the mine, there are three forks.
Elena's eyes indicated that the two knights walked towards the two forks to carry out vigilance work.
She walked to the middle of the fork, squatted down, and picked up a broken wooden sign.
"This is a mark left by the mine. Unfortunately, it has been broken and the surface of the card is full of scratches."
Arwen came to Elena, sniffed, and smelled the rotten smell in the mine.
"On the right, follow me."
Elena's beautiful eyes lit up, he raised his hand to signal the knight, and followed Arwen to continue moving forward.
The terrain of the mine continued downward, twisting and turning, after passing several forks, about four hundred steps away, and again came to a fork where the terrain was slightly wider.
This time, everyone could smell the rotten smell.
Elena and the others frowned, and the light from the torch shone through.
The sloping ground was covered with solidified rotten meat.
Broken bones were scattered everywhere.
The stench is so bad that it makes people shed tears.
"It stinks----"
Elena cursed secretly.
Arwen glanced at the mess on the ground and spoke in a low voice.
"That's right, it was left by Ghoul."
The wolf head badge on the chest trembled violently and made a "buzzing" warning sound.
The ground shook. Arwen pinched Signs with his left hand, and the blue Quen shield covered himself.
"Attention."
Elena and others immediately became alert.
Not long after he finished speaking, the sound of rapid running came from the fork.
Several black shadows suddenly jumped out like arrows flying close to the ground.
The dim yellow flames shone, first shining on the cold fangs.
Ghoul.
Arwen's figure was slightly lowered, and he stepped out. Thor Ivy's sword drew circles of perfect silver arcs in the darkness.
[Whirling Blade] is triggered, dirty blood flies everywhere, and residual limbs are broken off, as if dancing a sharp waltz.
Elena and others did not have the visual enhancement brought by the [Cat] potion, but under the light of the knight's torch, her arrows were astonishingly accurate.
Every time the strings sounded, a silver-plated arrow penetrated Ghoul's head.
The knights did not flinch, relying on their geographical and equipment advantages to stay by Elena's side.
Whenever Ghoul approached, the knight would wield the silver hammer and swung it down violently, smashing the former's deformed skull into splattering paste.
In just over ten minutes, corpses were piled up in front of everyone.
"Oh----·----"
Ghoul's breathing echoed in the mine, as well as the sounds of dense scratching on the rock wall.
Arwen's eyes were dead, but the number of Ghoul was receding like a tide, and then rising again.
The knight behind shouted.
"The plague is on top, is this hell!?"
