Chapter 342 Are you sure there is only one?

After the Hound of Tindalos died, the blurry light and shadow on its body quickly dissipated, revealing its true form again.

Klauen squatted down, picked up a part of this strange creature with his sword, and looked at it carefully.

For some reason, he felt that the spine of this thing would be delicious if stewed. He knew that this should be the intuition of a magic scholar.

He decided to follow his intuition. This was a fourth-level creature, and its appearance did not look like a deformed creature caused by pollution.

Crown first summoned the Fire Cube and released a metal clone to provide security.

Then he took out a rune crystal bottle from the space ring that was half an arm high and two fists thick, and began to collect the blood that had not yet flowed out.

Silver blood and silver heart can be used to make Silver Soul Cream. Although this thing is of little use to him, it can increase the strength of the trainers if they advance to silver.

After digging out the blood and heart and putting them away, he reached out and touched the strange creature from head to toe along the spine, then took out a scalpel made of Valyrian steel and spun the knife in his hand like a rapidly spinning airplane propeller.

"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed delicious food alone. I'm such a hard worker."

With a self-deprecating smile, Crown stopped spinning the knife, tightened his grip on the handle, and began cutting the flesh.

The bone-touching just now enabled him to understand the body structure of his prey. His movements were neither fast nor slow, just like a butcher cutting up an ox, and the blade flew nimbly inside the prey's body.

In a short while, the scalpel moved all over the prey's body.

The skeleton had been completely stripped off. He chopped off the ribs, leaving only the spine, then smashed the skull and took out a piece of pink and white spirit flesh the size of a goose egg, and a gray crystal core the size of an egg.

By this point, everything of value had been taken out by him.

The smile on Clown's face grew. The crystal core was the core of the protective array, and he became rich because he obtained a crystal core.

He carefully put these things into the space ring. When he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly noticed a strange spiral pattern on the broken ribs of the monster. He then observed other skeletons and found similar patterns.

Out of curiosity, he decided to pack up all the bones of the prey and take them away for research. At the very least, he could make broth from the bones, which would be a delicacy for Fokine and Buster.

The bear cub didn't have this good fortune. It was still very weak, and it would rather drink the bone soup of the silver creature than drink poison.

After finishing his work, Crown took the Fire Cube back into his body and merged it with the alloy armor. Then he took out his shield and sword and set out on his journey again.

Inside the sanctuary, Flanders looked much better, with a hint of redness on his originally pale face. The priests had already given him a whole bottle of water of life.

Except for the broken bones, the smaller wounds on his body have healed and the larger wounds have also partially healed. It can be said that his injuries are no longer serious and he only needs to rest for a period of time to recover.

The Water of Life is indeed a special spiritual item of the Church of the God of Life. It can replenish a considerable amount of life energy for the user and greatly speed up the recovery from injuries.

There was once a rumor that the highest level of water of life is called Life Source Liquid, which can heal the injuries of gods. I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Purinton also woke up at this time. His injuries were lighter than Flanders' and he recovered better.

He saw the archbishop turned his head to look at him and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that I would become a wounded soldier when I came here. I have never been seriously injured before."

Flanders said sadly: "Even so, we are much luckier than Cavendish."

Cavendish had known him for nearly forty years and he was his most staunch supporter. It was a pity that he would die in a mission that was originally thought to be easy.

After decades of mutual support and joint promotion to the silver rank, everything was lost when an old friend died.

His seemingly calm gaze contained a burning flame, like a brewing volcano: "I don't know if Klauen can find the escaped evil beast mother. It is also seriously injured, but we don't know if this creature has the means to accelerate recovery.

What I am most worried about is that it will escape into the wild, which would mean that Rhine City would be under constant threat from it."

Purinton was silent for a few seconds. If the mother of the evil beast really escaped into the wild and reproduced, Rhine City would probably have no peace.

He was well aware of the power of the evil beast's mother. The residual soul of the Frost Dragon was unable to suppress the evil creature. If he used Frostfang's freezing ability to disrupt the monster's attack rhythm, he would most likely follow in Cavendish's footsteps.

The abilities displayed by the evil beast mother body far exceeded those of creatures that had just entered the silver level. He even felt that the other party was not far from the fifth level. This was really terrifying.

Dennis smiled and said:

"You two Excellencies just need to take good care of your health now. Let us pray that Master Crown will be able to succeed under the guidance of the Lord of Fire."

'Praying for someone more powerful to handle a task that you can't accomplish yourself? That feels really bad.'

Plimpton pursed his lips. He found that he seemed to be hit everywhere since he came to Rhine City.

The evil beast was bitten on the neck by the evil beast queen, and its shrill screams echoed continuously, and then stopped abruptly.

The Queen of Evil Beasts used her claws that looked like the front claws of a Tyrannosaurus Rex to tear open the abdominal cavity of her offspring, and the gushing acidic blood corroded a large hole in the ground.

It ate rudely, and after finishing its meal, it called another offspring. The injuries of the Evil Beast Queen improved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually the broken skeletal skin returned to its original state. Its body size even increased a little, and the spikes on its skin became thicker.

"roar!"

It opened its huge mouth and let out a ostentatious roar, as if announcing its return.

The images in Clown's mind faded, and he stood up. Under his feet were piles of evil beast corpses. This was the place where the evil beast queen slaughtered her offspring to recover from her injuries.

There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes. The growth rate of this creature was not in line with common sense. It seemed that it only needed to eat as much as it could to grow rapidly and constantly break through its levels.

"You're more of a cheat than me. You're dead."

Klauen muttered to himself and followed the direction the Evil Beast Queen left.

No one knew where this creature came from, and as far as he knew, no similar creature had ever appeared in the past.

It is impossible to quickly increase strength simply by devouring food, even for those with divine blood.

They should have other constraints and cannot grow wildly endlessly, but he cannot be sure what the end of their growth will be.

If the evil beast can quickly improve to the sixth level, it will be a huge threat to Rhine City and even the entire Church of the Lord of Fire.

Time was urgent, so he used a drop of moonlight to replenish the spiritual power of the time hourglass, and adjusted the bullet time to 15% acceleration mode, and quickly chased forward.

Not long after, Crown saw the traces left by the Evil Beast Queen's march.

He released time again to go back and verify his judgment.

The image of the Evil Beast Queen appeared in his mind. She had indeed passed by here one hour and eight minutes ago.

He replenished the Golden Light Body Protection and the Heart Purification Mantra, then activated the Breath of the Flame Dragon to release the Source Armor. The bronze sword retracted into his body and entered the storage space of the Fire Cube, and was replaced by the Thunderous Fury that flashed with a cold blue flame.

There were no forks in the passage ahead. The rose-gold wings behind him spread out gracefully, and then his feet left the ground and he rode the wind.

The passage tilted upwards, and as the wings flapped, Crown felt the space suddenly expand. The outside was already filled with gray fog, and the sacred fire on the bell tower in the distance could be vaguely seen.

It was already night, and the Queen of Evil Beasts stepped into the wilderness.

He was suspended in the air, frowning slightly. He was wondering why the Queen of Evil Beasts wanted to go into the wild. The Whitechapel area should be its paradise, with a huge flow of people. It was a good choice both for hunting and reproduction.

Was he strategically moving after being wounded? Waiting to become stronger before returning for revenge? "Crown!"

Clown was suddenly startled. He remembered that in order to reduce the population loss in Whitechapel, the Archbishop temporarily expelled the residents of Whitechapel and settled them outside the city.

He immediately flew high up, observed the position of the clock tower to calibrate the direction, and looked for a place to temporarily set up the camp.

After confirming his location, he found that in order to reach the temporary camp, he would need to cross half of the White Church area from the air.

"I hope my guess is wrong," Crown tightened his grip on the weapon.

The golden light was like a meteor, dragging a long tail as it flew towards the resettlement camp.

At the edge of the resettlement camp, there were some obstacles placed in a mess.

Due to the hasty evacuation, many residents were still wearing thin clothes.

Although we can already hear the footsteps of summer approaching, it is still quite chilly outside at night.

The grass and trees in the wild are very lush, but they cannot sustain so many people using them. In addition, burning damp wood will produce thick smoke, and it cannot be used for heating at all.

Shortly after nightfall, most of the campfires in the camp had gone out.

Those with weak constitutions huddled together, using the crowding to keep themselves warm. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

"These guys just said there was danger and rudely drove us out. Do they know how difficult it is to be in the wild? Damn it."

Gru came to the edge of the camp cursing. There was only porridge for dinner, and he barely drank enough water to fill his stomach.

“Clatter.”

After the water was released, a breeze blew by.

Gru shuddered suddenly and squinted his eyes subconsciously, not noticing that the man-high grass on the side parted, revealing a huge dark body.

Although the Queen of Evil Beasts is huge, she is very agile.

There is a thick layer of flesh pads under its toes, so unless it runs very fast, its steps are so light that people can't feel that something is moving.

It can smell food from thousands of meters away, so it comes here.

When the Queen of Evil Beasts walked out of the bushes, she happened to see Gru at her feet. She opened her mouth and bit him without thinking.

Gru felt the wind blowing on his face, and when he opened his eyes he found that the world had become completely dark, without a trace of light.

Screams, cries for help, sobs, and hysterical shouts came into Crown's ears on the wind. He could even distinguish the fear and despair in the air.

The thing he was most worried about happened. If he had not miscalculated, this monster should have been wreaking havoc here for dozens of minutes.

Crown saw people running around in panic, and they kept tripping and falling to the ground, and then being trampled.

He adjusted the bullet time to a 25% speed-up mode. At the same time, he pushed his flying magic to its limit, transforming himself into a dazzling light, and rushed in the direction the fugitives came from.

Closer and closer, he saw the Queen of Evil Beasts trample a slow-moving fat man to death with her feet, and then use her tail to string a child from the crotch to the top of the head.

Then a smaller head emerged from the head again and had intimate mouth-to-mouth contact with a fat woman.

He immediately activated the Breath of the Fire Dragon, and the golden and silver dragon soul glowed brightly in the darkness. It then let out a powerful dragon roar, shaking the whole area.

The evil beast queen, who was performing unspeakable actions, suddenly let go of her unconscious prey. She felt a strong threat from the powerful dragon roar, and felt a trace of fear of being suppressed by a superior predator.

It spotted Crown and immediately roared, announcing its presence: "Roar!"

The hard golden shield suddenly turned into soft clay, and then stretched into a spear in his hand.

Klauen suddenly threw out his spear, and it flew towards the Queen of Evil Beasts with a flash of golden light.

Not willing to be outdone, the Queen of Evil Beasts raised her front paws, trying to interrupt the attack.

It could sense the powerful aura of the golden figure, but it believed that it was stronger! "Boom!"

When the spear was touched by the Evil Beast Queen, a ball of bright white light immediately burst out.

Stupid Klauen grinned as he injected a large amount of Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew into his spear. There was only a layer of copper as thin as a cicada's wing between the two solutions.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If the spear is subjected to a large shock, it will immediately become a powder keg.

The Queen of Evil Beasts roared in anger after being fooled. Its entire left front paw disappeared in the explosion, its chest was blown to pieces, and its skeletonized skin was also damaged to varying degrees.

When Clown opened his spiritual vision, he discovered that the evil beast's spiritual light had reached that of a fifth-order extraordinary creature. He was shocked but also very grateful. Fortunately, he had added enough materials just now. He added the amount that would cripple a fourth-order extraordinary person, otherwise it would probably waste materials and not have much effect.

The Queen of Evil Beasts picked up the prey on her tail and brought it to her mouth and swallowed it, then rushed over fiercely, causing the earth to shake with a strong sense of oppression.

The wings behind Clown flapped suddenly and he flew high up. He decided to use magic to solve the problem here.

The blood of those third-level evil beasts can corrode the alloy armor. If it is splashed with the blood of a fifth-level evil beast, I don’t know how much iron essence will be corroded. It’s not worth it.

He attacked from both sides, continuously releasing Sun Flame Technique and Palm Thunder.

The Queen of Evil Beasts was unable to attack the enemy but kept getting hit, becoming more and more irritable. However, she had extremely high intelligence and turned around and fled after being attacked several times.

Crown kept a relatively safe distance from it and chased it closely.

When the Evil Beast Queen was hit by the Sunfire Magic again, she suddenly fell to the ground, wailing and rolling over.

what the hell?

Crown was stunned for a moment, but remained unmoved and continued to launch attacks.

The enemies no longer run, making it easier to hit them, and more Sunfire spells hit the target.

The body of the Evil Beast Queen expanded rapidly like a blown-up balloon, and then exploded with a loud bang, sending countless pieces of flesh and bones flying everywhere.

Klauen was stunned. This thing could also self-destruct? But why didn't other demonic beasts have such an ability? The information provided by the Archbishop did not mention this situation either.

He couldn't understand this result, but fortunately he had a good habit of putting aside things he couldn't figure out and thinking about them slowly later.

Klauen landed and took some of the evil beast queen's flesh, ready to study it.

He returned to the place where he first encountered the enemy and found that the fat woman who had been raped by the evil beast was dead, killed by the explosion.

He took a look at the woman's obviously bulging belly, and held the bronze sword in his hand, lifting her shirt. When her abdomen was cut open, Clown saw the embryos with hideous appearances inside.

The embryos were still alive, twisting their bodies restlessly.

He sighed and turned away.

The dragon soul exhaled dragon breath and set the tragically dead woman on fire. The evil beast embryos screamed and soon turned into ashes in the flames.

The door of the sanctuary rumbled open, and Crown stepped inside.

"It looks like both of you have recovered well and are in good spirits."

He saw that Flanders and Plimpton were both awake, their faces were slightly flushed, and they nodded with a smile.

“Thanks to the water of life you left behind, otherwise it would take us several days to stabilize our injuries.

When I recover, I will convert the water of life into money and return it to you."

Flanders showed a grateful look. He paused and asked softly, "Is it done?"

Clown said, “Hmm.”

“Yes, I killed the mother of the evil beast, but it left the underground passage and ran to a temporary resettlement camp, where it gave birth to embryos in many women’s bodies.

I have ordered the Church, the City Hall, and the Brotherhood of Warlocks to mobilize forces to operate throughout the night to find all the poor people who are being used as fertility vessels."

The archbishop responded with a look of relief: “As it should be, our diocese has been through so many disasters today, but fortunately everything is over.

There is one more thing I want to tell you. A Tindalos hound escaped from the Ruins of the Spirits and should be lurking somewhere in Rhine City."

Then, he described the scene, the abilities, habits, and appearance of the Hound of Tindalos, and finally said, "This is a hidden danger. If you find it, you must do your best to kill it."

"Are you sure there was only one? How did you determine that? You said everyone present was dead."

"We carefully compared the teeth marks on the wound and found that they matched perfectly. In addition, your subordinate Luo Lin was requisitioned to restore the scene on Belsk Street, so we made this conclusion."

Klauen looked strange. "If you are sure there is only one, then don't worry. When I was chasing the mother of the evil beast, I encountered a sneak attack by a Tindalos hound, and I took care of it."

"ah?!"

Flanders and Plimpton shouted in unison, and then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Good!" The archbishop felt relieved immediately, and he continued:

"Right now our only enemies are the cultists. I will send Daniel to finish off the evil beast incident and kill those who escaped. I will also send Audrey to help him.

As for your arrangement, I still hope you can lead everyone to resist the cultists."

Crown nodded: "This is what I should do. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the soldiers to take on this responsibility."

After the evil beast incident, the Whitechapel district suffered heavy casualties, with countless deaths, most of whom were women and children.

The population of Rhine City has been greatly reduced, which will affect the development of the parish for a long time.

Crown paused and asked:

"Have you told Fanny about Bishop Cavendish?"

"Not yet. After you came back, I gave an order to inform Nick to come see me immediately after he returned. I told Nick, and I hope he will tell Fanny at the right time."

Crown left the sanctuary and returned to his house on Baker Street.

He took a comfortable bath to wash away the fatigue from the long battle.

While taking a bath, he habitually summoned a golden wall to check which skills had improved.

[Breath of Flame Dragon: 42683/120000; Level 1]

[Flying Magic: 4692/30000; Level 3]

[Zhan Feng: 266/8000; Level 3] (After countless trials and tribulations, you have realized the true meaning of swordsmanship.

Special Effect: Wind. When using melee weapons, your attack speed increases by 5%.) These three skills were the ones he used the most yesterday. Wind Slash was upgraded from level 2 to level 3, and it also had an additional special effect.

Although this special effect only applies to melee weapons, it is better than nothing.

Crown got up from the bathtub, changed into pajamas, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.

Diligence leads to success while laziness leads to failure. The incident with the evil beast mother body sounded the alarm for him. He thought it would be best for him to work harder now.

There are races in the world that can progress rapidly as long as they eat as much as they can. In the future, more evil and powerful creatures will surely emerge. Only by having greater power can you be fearless.

St Peter's Cathedral, Blaye.

Theo is reporting the situation to the Pope: "Your Majesty, several third-level extraordinary people from small families have disappeared recently. Just like the heads of several large families who disappeared at the beginning of the year, they seem to have evaporated from the face of the earth and no trace of them can be found. I found that these missing people have several things in common.

First, they are all third-level transcendents, and are considered the best among the third-level transcendents.

Second, they all purchased some high-level spiritual materials before they disappeared. We speculate that these materials were used to set up some magic array or ritual.

Now, the nobles are dissatisfied with the security in the cathedral district, and they have united to petition, begging the church to send high-level extraordinary people to deal with the matter. "

Osman grinned silently. If I were to deal with this matter, wouldn't it be my own responsibility?

"Never mind those barking nobles. The law and order in the cathedral district is the best in the parish of Bligh."

At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door.

"Come in."

Moon pushed open the door and handed over a document: "Your Majesty, news has been sent back from Xintland that the coastal city of Xinsalo has fallen and the guarding troops have been wiped out, including two silver-level storm priests."

"When did it happen?"

"Half a month ago."

Osman took the document and read it quickly, sighing in his heart, this is going to change! According to the investigation of the Church of the Lord of Storms, the energy level of the enemy attacking Xinsalo has reached the level of fifth-order extraordinary creatures, or even stronger.
