Chapter 95 The Fate of the Bait
"Stay!" Clown swung his sword as the thought flashed through his mind.
The monster overestimated its own speed and was split in half at the chest. As it rushed forward at high speed, it cracked in the air and colorful objects fell down.
Crown did not look up to check his results because he felt the air current rushing towards him from behind.
He leaned forward due to inertia, took a step to the side, twisted his waist and turned his body, and swung a sword behind him with the movement of twisting his waist.
If the monster rushes towards you directly, you might end up with your head and body separated.
As he put one hand in front of him to protect his head and turned his head, he caught a glimpse of what was happening behind him.
Two monsters identical to the one that was chopped off attacked him from above and below, one opened its mouth as if to bite his lower body, while the other waved its claws as if to scratch his head.
The monster's fingertips were shiny black, and the tips were curved in a cruel arc.
Two crossbow arrows just flew past two meters behind the two monsters. It was obvious that the two crossbowmen shot too late.
Crown leaned his upper body back to avoid the claw attack from the monster above.
The fiery red blade swung out a fan-shaped arc of light. The monster below flashed fear in its eyes and tried its best to dodge to the side, but its mouth was still cut in half.
"Woo-goo"
With a creepy cry, one monster fell from the sky, and the other two roared and flapped their fleshy wings to fly over the treetops.
After landing on the ground, Crown immediately took two steps back and then stood firmly. He saw the head of the monster flying in the air regain its human appearance. Half of the cheek of the monster that was chopped was cracked, and the ear was split into two halves. Hot steam was still coming out of the wound.
"Does it hurt a bit?" he asked sarcastically. The monster just spoke in human language, and he felt that these banshees should still retain some human consciousness.
"Woo-hoo!" The two monsters jumped up and down like thunder. They circled in the air and pretended to pounce, but they didn't have the courage after all.
It is common for fishermen to come up empty-handed. Most of the time, the fish just eat the bait and swim away.
This time the three monsters caught a big fish, and one died and one was injured instantly. The surviving monster also lost the courage to attack.
Caulk and his men ran over and surrounded Crown.
Baru looked up and saw the half-dead body hanging above, then glanced at the monster on the ground that was not completely dead but was still crawling out, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
Behind the monster were long, bright red large and small intestines, as well as some other things.
"Puff!" Baru spat out the cigarette that was about to burn the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to shoot.
Two of the three crossbow arrows hit the monster, which had been stabbed an inch into its messy green hair. The monster let out a sharp roar, and continued to crawl forward while grasping the ground with its trembling hands.
"Woo-goo", the other two flashing flesh wings swooped down from the air, but quickly pulled up when they were still five or six meters above the ground.
Crown narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Baru, both of you shoot a few more times."
"Yes, sir," the short and fat man said with hatred in his voice. He reached out and pushed down the brim of his hat and reloaded the crossbow.
“Whoosh, whoosh”
The two men fired a round, and several crossbow arrows appeared on the monster's head. It trembled a few times, and its head hit the ground, and it didn't move anymore.
"ah"
Frightened shouts came from the direction of the camp, and Crown realized that something was wrong there as well.
Unable to do anything about the monster flying in the air, he prepared to leave and return to the camp.
He took out the revolver from his waist, raised his hand suddenly and fired a shot.
Seeing the speed of the monsters and the penetration of the crossbow arrows into their heads, he did not aim at weak parts such as the eyes, but chose to aim at the abdominal cavity, targeting the injured monster.
Sure enough, even though it was injured, the monster still dodged the position he was aiming at, but its flesh wing was pierced, leaving a hole as thick as a thumb.
The two monsters were circling at a higher altitude, making meaningless howls from their mouths.
"Go back to the camp, you go in front," Crown gave the order.
After receiving the order, the three rough men immediately turned around and rushed back.
The two monsters flew in the air for a while, and when they saw the people walking away, they let out a long roar: "Woo Woo".
Then, they both fell into the forest.
When Clown came out of the woods, he saw three monsters flying in the air, all of which had several crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, and one of them was clearly holding a person.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"There are too many targets to protect. I can't take care of them all." Geralt came over, his face gloomy as if water could be squeezed out of it. "I'm good at hunting monsters, but protecting so many ordinary people is beyond my ability."
"I understand," Crown nodded. "What kind of monster is this? Can you recognize it?"
"It looks a bit like a vampire bird," the witcher scratched his snow-white hair.
"Actually, have you ever encountered this kind of monster before?"
Klauen asked, he was now a second-level demon scholar and could recognize many kinds of monsters and evil spirits.
The vampire bird will not appear in the sunlight. Most of the time, that monster stays in dark tombs and only comes out to look for food at night. Human blood and liver are their favorites.
However, the monster that attacked them did not have any characteristics of a vampire bird. It was just similar in appearance, with a female face, fleshy wings and black claws, but that was all.
"Well, I can't recognize it," Geralt spread his hands helplessly, "Every few years, the Warlock Guild has to rewrite a monster manual. There will always be new monsters popping up. It's normal that we don't recognize them."
Crown did not continue the topic. He glanced at the situation in the camp and asked, "How many of them attacked you? Did you catch any?"
"Those monsters are too cunning. They know how to avoid me and the teacher and only attack ordinary people," Alan said angrily. He was unable to use his strength, which made the boy look very ugly.
Del came over in shame at this moment: "Sir, we have more than ten people scratched and one person has been captured."
Clown stared at the two iron pots on the ground and the black bread that had been trampled into powder, and smiled bitterly: "You guys clean up. I killed a monster, and Kalam's body is still over there. Send a few people to carry them back, and we'll leave."
Without food, don't expect the workers to have the energy to continue working in the afternoon. A new type of monster has appeared, which requires more vigilance. Simply go home and come back tomorrow to be well prepared.
Taking out a few bottles of holy water and giving them to Del, Crown said, "Give it to the injured for oral and external use. There may be other toxins on the monster's nails."
Afterwards, he brought a few people back to the place where the monster was killed, but found that half of Karam's body and the monster's body had disappeared, probably taken away by those things.
The group hurriedly loaded the wood and ore onto the carriage and headed for the town.
When they walked away, several dark shadows flew out of the woods and followed them in the distance.
