The three girls didn't seem to notice this. They just searched around the town, hoping to find survivors - of course, logically speaking, this place has become a paradise for monsters, so there would definitely be no survivors.
But we couldn't even find the body...
The further they walked, the more confused Fang Zheng became. He silently exchanged a glance with Kuriyama Mirai, who had a little more worry in her eyes. Because as an alien, Kuriyama Mirai knew that youmu could attach to human bodies and transform humans into monsters, and she had encountered some very sad past events because of this.
So after seeing this strange situation, Kuriyama Mirai immediately had another idea...
“Help…Help…!”
However, at this moment, suddenly, a faint cry caught everyone's attention.
"Someone's shouting for help over there!"
Shido Hikaru was the first to jump up, and Ryuuzaki Kai also nodded.
"Let's go and have a look!" As they said this, the two girls hurriedly ran towards the place where the sound came from. Looking at the two figures, Kuriyama Mirai opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and just sighed. At this moment, Phoenix Temple Feng looked at Kuriyama Mirai curiously for a moment, and then followed her two companions to run towards the place where the sound came from.
Soon, the group arrived at a house on the edge of the town. It looked like a warehouse. After pushing open the door, everyone could soon see a small figure huddled in the corner, trembling.
"Little boy, are you okay?"
Seeing the pitiful figure, Long Qi Hai couldn't help but step forward to help, but just as she stepped forward, she was grabbed by Fenghuang Si Feng.
"Wait a moment."
"What's wrong? Xiaofeng?"
Hearing what Fenghuangji said, not only Longqi Hai, but even Shitang Guang were stunned for a moment, while Fenghuangji Feng shook his head and glanced around him.
"Be careful, something's wrong."
"……?"
Hearing this, the two turned their heads and found that Kuriyama Mirai and Fang Zheng beside them were staring at the child vigilantly. Noticing their gazes, Kuriyama Mirai hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"Be careful, this child...I don't think he's normal."
"Abnormal?"
Hearing Kuriyama Mirai's answer, Ryuzaki Kai frowned.
"Any questions?"
"Those monsters have occupied this town for some time."
At this time, Fenghuang Temple Feng also reacted.
"Logically speaking, this child has been hiding here all this time, so it's impossible for him not to be discovered..."
"Xiao Feng, are you trying to say that this child is in league with those monsters?"
Hearing this, Long Qihai couldn't help himself, this was too unbelievable!
"roar--!"
While the girls were still struggling, Fang Zheng did not hesitate and rushed forward with a roar. Others might not know, but did he? The child pretending to be a coward was actually Aztec, one of the four kings under Shegatu. All of Shegatu's men had been contaminated by Chaos, so there was no need to ask what his purpose was in appearing here!
"noob?!"
Seeing Fang Zheng suddenly attack the shivering child huddled in the corner, the others were also shocked. However, soon, something even more unexpected happened - at the moment Fang Zheng pounced on the child, the ground around the child suddenly cracked, and then dozens of strange tentacles emerged from the ground and wrapped around Fang Zheng.
A trifle!
Seeing this, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, and then the first fire suddenly appeared, and the pitch-black sword instantly cut the tentacles in front of him into pieces. Then Fang Zheng bit the hilt of the pitch-black sword, flipped and landed steadily on the ground, staring coldly at the little ghost in front of him. The other girls were also stunned by the scene in front of them, and didn't know what to say.
"It hurts, it hurts so much... Why, why do you want to hurt me?"
Along with a shrill scream, in front of everyone's eyes, the little boy hiding in the corner of the warehouse stood up. Everyone was surprised to find that the lower half of his body was densely covered with tentacles, which looked like entwined tree roots, and his fingers also became long tree roots, piercing directly into the ground.
Is this also a monster?
"Why? Why are you attacking me? Aren't you a monster?"
At this moment, the child glared at Fang Zheng fiercely, his tone revealing sadness and anger.
"Aren't we friends? All monsters are my friends! Why aren't you my friend? Look, I turned everyone into monsters. Everyone is my friend, so why aren't you my friend?"
"What?!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Shitang Guang looked at the child in surprise and asked.
"Are all the monsters in this town transformed by you?"
"yes."
In response to Shitang Guang's question, the child nodded proudly.
"They all dislike my friends, saying that monsters are too scary, but monsters are not scary at all! It's them who are scary! So I turned them all into monsters, and then everyone can get along well. Big sis, am I doing great?"
“…”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They stared at the child in front of them, not knowing what to say. Kuriyama Mirai was somewhat prepared, as he had long felt that the situation in this town was not normal. However, the others had never thought that the monsters they had just killed were actually transformed into humans, and they were from this town!
"You, you actually did such a thing!!"
At this moment, Shitang Guang also tightly grasped the sword in his hand, looking angrily at the little devil in front of him, while the other party laughed.
"Big sister, you guys are amazing too, why don't you stay here and be my friend? Let's all become monsters together, and we won't have to fight anymore!!"
As the little ghost spoke, the entire warehouse suddenly collapsed, and countless tentacles rushed in from all directions and pounced directly towards everyone.
"careful!!"
Tentacles have always been a natural enemy of magical girls, and this place is no exception. Everyone had no idea that there were already countless tentacles lurking on the ground beneath their feet, and they were caught off guard. The tentacles that broke out of the map wrapped the girls tightly in the blink of an eye, so that they had no way to break free.
Fortunately, not everyone is unable to deal with these strange tentacles.
Facing the tentacles that were entangled with her, Kuriyama Mirai frowned, and then the blood blade in her hand stretched out instantly, like a snake, instantly cutting off all the tentacles that bound her body. On the other side, Fang Zheng also bit the big sword and chopped off the tentacles of other people with a few "swish".
"Let's get out of here!"
After breaking free from his restraints, Fang Zheng also started shouting hurriedly. The others immediately obeyed his words, turned around and hurriedly ran out of the warehouse that was about to collapse.
“BOOM!!”
Not long after everyone ran out, they saw the entire warehouse collapse in an instant, and then a huge monster emerged from it.
It looked like a large jellyfish, but it was green all over. On top of it, the child who had been curled up in the corner was standing there. At this moment, his clothes had completely burst, and you could see that his body was almost fused with the giant jellyfish, indistinguishable from each other.
“Hahahahaha, big sisters, don’t run, stay here.”
Along with that childish voice, hundreds and thousands of tentacles as thick as the roots of ancient trees broke out of the ground and rushed towards everyone from all directions - it turned out that this small town had completely become the territory of this chaotic monster!
"Xiao, Xiaobai, what should we do now?"
Looking at this chaos monster that was as big as a small mountain, the girls didn't know what to do, but Fang Zheng made a decision on the spot.
"run!"
His current primordial fire energy has not yet fully recovered, and Fang Zheng can see at a glance that this one of the four heavenly kings under Shegatu has also been severely corroded like Elshiole, but his degree of erosion is deeper than Elshiole. From his body shape, it can be seen that he has reached a realm... Frankly speaking, in Fang Zheng's opinion, Shitang Guang and others are not able to compete with it.
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, the girls turned around and ran without hesitation. However, the monster clearly had no intention of letting them go. Although everyone had quickly left the town, it still followed them closely and did not give up at all.
"My, how far are we going to run?"
Long Qihai supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath. It had been more than half a day since they escaped from the small town. They thought they had gotten rid of the terrible monster long ago, but what they didn't expect was that although the monster seemed to be slow in movement, its speed was not slow at all. It followed them closely, and it looked like it would not give up until it caught them.
"It will be bad if this continues... I'm afraid we won't even have time to rest."
Fenghuang Sifeng turned his head and looked behind him. Not far away on the hillside, he could still vaguely see the shadow of the huge chaos monster, as well as a faint tremor coming from the ground.
"There is only one way now, and that is to awaken the Demon God immediately. With the Demon God's assistance, destroying this monster will not be a problem."
Fang Zheng finally spoke at this time, and upon hearing this, Shitang Guang asked worriedly.
"But Xiaobai, where is the devil?"
"Right here."
Fang Zheng raised his head and looked forward, and everyone else looked up as well, their eyes widened.
"here?"
What everyone saw in front of them was nothing but a huge lake. It seemed to have almost no end, as if it had merged with the sky.
"Wait wait, Xiaobai, you said the demon is in the lake, so do we still need to swim down there?"
At this moment, Long Qihai sat directly on the ground.
"I can't walk any more!"
"Don't worry."
Seeing Long Qihai's expression, Fang Zheng also laughed. After confirming that this was the world of magic knights, he had of course been prepared. Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his head and howled at the sky.
“Ouch——!!”
The next moment, accompanied by Fang Zheng's howling, a huge black object suddenly fell and hit the water in front of the girls.
