After breakfast at the inn, Rachel was eager to find an excuse to stay and find the missing Elven Queen, but Ruan Chi told her that doing so would easily arouse Guldia's suspicions.

In desperation, Rachel had no choice but to listen to Ruan Chi.

Because of the disappearance of Sifarif, the director Zhan Zhan Shen Lan, the "sister who doesn't speak", also disappeared, Ruan Chi still casually made up an excuse, saying that Shen Lan left first because of something else.

Fortunately, there is usually no communication, and Dark Blue's "departure" Suldia did not suspect much, only Betty usually has a good relationship with Deep Blue, and she feels a little pity after knowing it.

The group then set off in the teleportation array and headed back to Fortinchel City.

However, Ruan Chi and Rachel didn't know that at the same time as they left with their front feet, near the teleportation array, the elven queen Sifarif happened to pass by.

At this time, Sifarif's hair was unkempt, her cloak hung crookedly on her body, her two little feet were bare, and her originally clear eyes seemed to be covered with a mist, looking blankly at the surrounding environment.

……

Neither Ruan Chi nor Rachel knew that they had missed out on Sifarif, and they sat in the teleportation array and returned to Fortinchel City.

After handing over the four Holy Grail fragments to the Adventurer's Guild, the 38 Women's Association also officially completed the first task, and it was also an extremely difficult A-level mission.

The adventurer guild officials who were in charge of receiving the mission items showed even more surprised eyes, although some adventure groups composed of powerful adventurers would also pick some high-level non-restricted tasks to do at the beginning, but very few could succeed, and what kind of 38 women's association was in front of them. And it did.

"Everyone, please wait. This is because the quest item, the Holy Grail of Versailles, is an ancient relic. In some years, it is necessary to find a specialized scholar to identify it. ”

"When will the appraisal be completed?"

"The results will be available at noon tomorrow at the earliest, and as soon as the appraisal report comes out, we will pay you directly."

Since it still takes time to identify, Ruan Chi and the others no longer waste time, and directly said goodbye and left the Adventurer Guild.

"Guldia, please take Betty back to our previous residence first, we Rachel have something to do." Just walked out of the door of the Adventurer's Guild. Ruan Chi said.

This is what Rachel had just secretly asked Ruan Chi to do, and she deliberately separated Guldia and Betty so that they could go back to Sifarif.

After Guldia and Betty left, Rachel hurriedly pulled Ruan Chi in the direction of the teleportation array.

……

Shirley is the captain of the guard of Fortinchel City, and as a woman, she was able to climb to such a high position at the age of twenty, not only because she herself has a city lord father, but also because she has good strength in her own right.

However, because of this, Shirley has been ostracized by others, especially the male members of the guard. They agreed that a woman should have a husband and children.

Shirley doesn't think she's worse than them, and in her anger, she wants to do something that proves her worth. Unfortunately, as the largest trading port in the Free Federation, Fortinchel is too safe.

It's because she's so good that Shirley hasn't found a chance to prove herself, and she's depressed about it.

However, several major events have happened recently, but Shirley has seen some opportunities.

First, a series of explosions occurred in the largest Roman port in Fortinchel, destroying hundreds of cargo ships owned by the Platinum Consortium and losing millions of goods.

Subsequently, there were several murders of corpses in Fortinchel, which was originally very peaceful, and one of the people killed happened to be the son of a noble viscount, so it attracted the attention of the city guard of Fortinchel.

The explosion and the murder case made Shirley excited all of a sudden, it is rare for such a sensational event to happen in Fortinchel, if it can be solved, Shirley feels that she will be able to prove her strength.

Wait and see, you stinky men.

Shirley, who was anxious to prove her strength, would now change into civilian clothes and patrol the streets even at night after her day's work, but Shirley never expected that an extremely terrifying thing would happen to her tonight.

Riding the horse, Shirley looked back from time to time, and after making sure there was nothing behind her, she slowed down again before putting her hand on the hilt of the saddle.

She couldn't remember the first time she did it, and several times she wanted to turn around and fight the murderer of the corpse murder, but she couldn't muster up the courage when she touched the inhuman horror of the other party.

Damn, why is this happening?

Because of the darkness around her, she didn't see what it looked like at the time, only its eyes. It was a bit illogical to say that, but she really couldn't imagine that "it" was a human.

Because no human being has the kind of eyes that look like a beast that has been hungry for a long time.

Originally, I just wanted to find clues about the murder case, but I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to meet the murderer's murder process with my own eyes.

In the first face of this situation, there was also a certain loss of control of Cheng dù, she wanted to stop it at first, but its movements were very fast, and after killing people, it dodged Shirley's slash, and its movements were sensitive Cheng dù did not match its body shape at all. Then, instead, it pursues Shirley in a vicious stance.

Shirley made two moves with the other party, and found that its power was amazing, Shirley felt a faint pain in the mouth of the tiger holding her sword, and in desperation, she had to ride the horse she used for patrol as fast as possible.

Luckily, I got the horse out today.

Shirley thought to herself.

Feeling that the thing was still chasing after her, she had a crazy idea that suited her profession to lead the thing to the nearby teleportation array, where there were many soldiers who guarded the teleportation array day and night.

After analyzing the feasibility of this plan, Shirley rode all the way, and the streets of Fortinchel were in all directions, and Shirley's area happened to be a wealthy area where the nobility lived, surrounded by tall walls, so there was no need to worry about the monster rushing into the house and hurting people.

The plan was set, and now all that was left was how to lure that thing to the teleportation array in the city. Deliberately tightening the reins to slow down, Shirley took the opportunity to look back.

Sure enough, in the distance, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at it.

Shirley's heart sank, and she tried her best to suppress her heartbeat. Remove a small crossbow from the saddle.

This crossbow was a birthday present from her father some time ago. It is rumored to be the work of a master dwarven craftsman. The crossbow strings are made of the tendons of the earth dragon, and the arrows are also specially made, and within a range of 100 meters, it is said that they can tear through the defenses of the fifth level of magic.

Shirley pulled the trigger, and soon there was a roar of a beast in the distance.

The woman's instinct told her that the guy had been shot, and it was a good start for Shirley. She began to have a vague sense that the plan might succeed.

Maybe you don't need to make a special trip to the teleportation array, Shirley thought to herself.

However, as she prepared to develop a second crossbow arrow, a huge claw that was more than twice the size of a human hand and had a black gloss at the end suddenly grabbed from the side.

Luckily, Shirley was alert and quickly dodged to the other side, the claw just slicing across her left arm.

A tingling pain came, and Shirley knew she was hurt.

If there were other members of the guard at this time, they would definitely sigh at their female captain's quick response, just now. In the case of ordinary people, the whole arm would have flown up a long time ago.

And when Shirley dodged, she also pulled the trigger on the thing at close range.

Two more roars filled with rage. Shirley hurriedly whipped the horsewhip, and an accelerated shake off the monster that was chasing after her.

Covering her bleeding arm, Shirley immediately rode her horse in the direction of the teleportation array, and when the monster caught up again, she deliberately slowed down again.

In this way, they chased and chased, and soon saw a light in front of them, which Shirley recognized as the unique light of the teleportation array.

"Roar!"

Behind him, there was an angry roar when the thing approached, if it was an ordinary beast, it would probably not be able to catch up with it if it was injured, and Shirley slowed down twice because she was worried about it chasing after her.

But in fact, Shirley was wrong, after the monster behind her was hit by two crossbow arrows, not only did not slow down, but ran faster and faster, almost catching up with the running speed of Shirley's beloved horse under her crotch.

What kind of monster exactly?

Shirley was frightened, and it happened that a turning position suddenly appeared in front of her, she subconsciously tightened the reins to accelerate, and then, there was another gust of wind behind her.

Shirley had to dodge the claw's attack again, but she never expected that the monster would attack in more than one way, and it suddenly roared, and the claw changed direction and slashed towards the horse's hip.

"Woo!"

The aching horses neighed, and Shirley felt only a violent jolt, and the man was thrown off the ground and fell to the ground.

"Xiaoxue?"

When Shirley stood up, she found her horse lying in a pool of blood, and the monster was standing nearby, and because the night was thick, she could only see a tall silhouette.

Met the pair of bloodthirsty eyes, Shirley's heart struck.

Oops!

Subconsciously grabbed the crossbow on the ground, and Shirley pulled the trigger on the other party.

"Nail!"

The monster's figure flickered, and this time it dodged the bolt that came at it, and the arrow was nailed into the wall behind it, splashing a spark.

The next second.

Shirley felt a vicious wind rushing towards her, and she didn't care about the image of a rolling gourd on the ground, and the pair of claws slashed right where she had been, leaving a few deep strokes.

Forcing herself to calm down, Shirley crawled up and ran in the direction of the teleportation array.

Shirley had never thought she would be in such danger, and now her mind was blank and she just rushed forward.

Just hold on a little longer, a little longer.

Seeing the teleportation array getting closer and closer, Shirley kept shouting at herself in her heart.

100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters......

Finally seeing the surrounding area built outside the teleportation array, Shirley was overjoyed, and she didn't care about the soreness of the muscles all over her body, gritted her teeth and accelerated forward.

But just as Shirley was relaxing, a dark shadow suddenly flew over her head, and she stopped in amazement, watching the monster jump over her head and land in front of her.

Because of the face-to-face relationship, this time, Shirley finally saw the appearance of this monster who had been chasing her for a long time.

It doesn't look like a human at all, the proportions of its upper and lower bodies don't match the proportions of normal people at all, its bare upper body is full of bulging muscles, and there are several metal tubes inserted in its heart, glowing with a cold glow in the moonlight. The arms are also exaggeratedly large, and the surface seems to be plated with a layer of metal. The lower half of the body is the size of an ordinary person, incompatible with the huge upper body, and he wears a black hood on his head, and his bare eyes are full of blood.

Monster.

Those were the first two words that came to Shelly's mind, and she felt her heart beat hard, and the palm of her hand holding the crossbow kept sweating.

What am I going to do? To shout here? Let the soldiers on the other side of the teleportation array come?

Just when Shirley was swaying, an unexpected thing happened, and I saw that not far from the exit of the teleportation array, a pair of men and women walked out side by side.

Oh no, how could anyone come out at this time?

Shirley's expression changed drastically, because she could tell from the dress of the man and woman that they were just ordinary people, probably just finished the teleportation and were about to go home.

At this moment, Shirley was really annoyed, although the teleportation array between the major cities of the Free Federation operates 24 hours a day, but there are not many people who use the teleportation array in the middle of the night, not to mention that the qualifications and permits for the use of the teleportation array are particularly difficult to apply, and ordinary people will not choose to use it at this time.

In the unlikely event that an innocent person is harmed, or even killed, I will definitely take full responsibility.

Thinking of this possibility, in a hurry, Shirley hurriedly shouted at the men and women who were walking here: "Don't come here, there is danger here, you go quickly!" ”

But Shirley didn't expect it at all, because of her sudden scream, the inhuman monster turned around and shifted the target to the man and woman.

"Roar!"

The monster let out a low roar and charged towards the man and woman.

Seeing this scene, Shirley felt that she even had the heart to die, and hurriedly pulled the trigger again.

I don't know if it was because I was too nervous, but this arrow actually missed.

To Shirley's despair, one of the men was quickly pounced on by the monster, and she saw with her own eyes that the man's chest was cut open by the monster's claws.

"No!"

……

Ruan Chi and Rachel had just returned from the Newcastle Kingdom, and they had been busy all day, and they hadn't even eaten, but they never found Sifarif.

Rachel's mood is particularly heavy now, no matter what Ruan Chi says next to her, she is indifferent.

"Are you hungry? Why don't we find a place to eat? ”

"I'm not hungry."

"Not hungry? You haven't had anything to eat all day today, how can you not be hungry? ”

"Anyway, I'm not hungry, don't bother me."

Rachel was agitated for a moment, and quickened her pace to walk outside.

Ruan Chi felt bored and shrugged his shoulders to follow.

He had just stepped out of the portal of the teleportation array when a beast-like roar was heard in the distance, and Rachel saw a humanoid object rushing towards him.

"Be careful!"

Ruan Chi's voice came from the side, Rachel felt her body being pushed away, and then saw him standing in front of her, her chest slashed by a pair of beast-like claws, and a large amount of blood spurted out. (To be continued......)
