"Whew...... Brat...... You—Do you know what's going on? ”

Old Tom put one hand on his waist and gasped for breath. In any case, he is already an old man who is about to turn seventy, and his body functions have already begun to decline. During the battle, I was in high spirits, and I didn't feel anything when I took a breath, but after the battle, I felt a little out of strength.

"I don't know, God knows where this thing came from. But, but I have a little clue,......" Fang Qiuling shook his head slightly, "Shouldn't we call the guards first now and ask them to help clean up the aftermath?" ”

A month only allowed Fang Qiuling to adapt to Elune's life, but many concepts have not changed. The fact that there are ghouls in the town and directly attack the townspeople is definitely not a small matter - an important law and order case! What to do at this time? Call the police! The day-to-day security of Huquan Town is the responsibility of the town's guards, and isn't it natural to send the town's guards to the town's guards when they are attacked?

Old Tom glanced at Fang Qiuling. Although the other party Qiu Ling agreed with his words, he really couldn't find the city guard office for this matter.

"Twilight, you should run right away. Go to Brother Charlton and tell him what happened here. Let him send someone at once. ”

"All right, Mr. Hadna, I'll go at once."

The fat boss nodded, put down the wood axe in his hand and immediately ran outside the yard.

"Wait a minute!" Before the fat boss could run far, Fang Qiuling whispered to the fat boss, "Dad, something is wrong!" It's not that simple! ”

Fang Qiuling's low drink made Old Tom slightly stunned, but he also realized it immediately, and his face became more solemn.

The woodhouse where Old Tom lives is indeed relatively remote, the yard is against the town wall on three sides, and there is only one alley leading to the main road of the town, and there are not many people passing by. But the remoteness is remote, but the yard is not yet remote to the point of being inaccessible. The battle just now didn't last long, but the movement was not small. The ghoul's cry is high-pitched and undisguised, and can be heard far away at night. It had been almost ten minutes since the battle ended, and the guards in the town did not appear, but no one outside came in to check the situation. This is clearly not quite right.

Fang Qiuling immediately proposed: "It's not safe here. Let's go together, let's go together, let's go to Brother Charlton together. ”

"Yes!"

"Pack up and go now!"

"Don't pack it up, just go. And nothing of value! ”

"Yes. Walk! Let's go! ”

Old Tom and Fang Qiuling quickly reached an agreement.

"Wait, wait, what about Shino?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Eliza couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "She seems to be asleep......"

Fang Qiuling said without hesitation: "Leave it to me." Fast, fast...... Daddy, the shield is for you, and the sword is for you. You go ahead. ”

"Good!" Old Tom stretched out his hand to take the wooden shield, and then instructed the fat boss, "Twilight, bring the axe!" You walk last, I'm ahead! ”

"Yes! Mr. Hadner! ”

Eliza struggled to pick up Shino. Both of them are relatively petite, and they look like they may fall together at any time. Fang Qiuling immediately stepped forward and hugged Shino with a princess hug.

"Eliza, Malu will be handed over to you."

"Yes, Mr. Seurik."

Eliza hurriedly hugged Ma Lu in her arms, and also picked up Fang Qiuling's camouflage cloak and other things.

"Okay? Walk! ”

Old Tom was the first to walk out of the courtyard, followed by Fang Qiuling with Xiunuo in his arms, then Eliza with Malu in his arms, and finally the fat boss with a two-handed axe.

"How's Brother Charlton, Daddy? Is it reliable? ”

Fang Qiuling watched vigilantly around as he asked Old Tom a question.

Brother Charlton is the chief priest of the Temple of Notos in Lakesprings. In the game, the first thing the player sees after resurrecting the temple is often him. However, he doesn't have any lines, doesn't sell items, and has no related tasks, and is a temple priest with little presence.

Fang Qiu Lingzhi knew about this main priest. After all, the death of characters in the game is a common thing, and they come and go, and they are more or less familiar if they are not familiar with them. But he only knew about the priest, and he didn't know anything else. After coming to Elune, Fang Qiuling occasionally encountered this priest on the road. However, because I was not familiar with it, I nodded at most.

"Brother Charlton? No problem, he's very reliable. Years of old friendship. ”

Old Tom looked around with the same vigilance, and from time to time he glanced down at the sword in his hand.

The Strike of Light was dim at the moment, as if it were an ordinary crystal sword.

- At this moment, it is better not to shine in the Strike of Clarity!

"That's good. Can you buy holy water from him? ”

"I can buy it. How? You want? ”

"Yes, buy a few bottles and keep them in reserve, just in case."

"Then don't buy it yet, Twilight has a few bottles there, I'll give them to you when I go back."

The farther he went, the closer he got to the town's main road, the more solemn Old Tom's expression became.

The town has just been invaded by orcs, and the whole town is under martial law. It stands to reason that the slightest disturbance will attract the town guards, but the distance from the courtyard to the main road of the town is silent for nearly 100 meters. Not to mention the town guards, the townspeople won't see a single one. It's very quiet, and it's not normal.

The alleys were filled with black mist from nowhere, and the alleys that came in and out every day seemed particularly unfamiliar at the moment.

Old Tom stopped with a solemn expression. As he stopped, there was a sound of light footsteps in the alley ahead. In a "click" sound, a short figure appeared in front of him. I saw him dragging one leg and limping.

"Welcome, Mr. Tom Hadner." The short figure spoke, his voice high and high, like a clown working in a circus, "You are actually the patron of the elves, and you actually have an elven weapon in your hand. It was a big surprise to me. Oh, hehe......"

A shrill laugh. Except for himself, who laughed, the rest of the audience undoubtedly frowned.

"Who are you?"

Old Tom asked in a deep voice.

"Who am I? It doesn't matter who I am, especially to a bunch of dying guys. The dwarf figure shrieked, "Hinder your master's plan, and you all have to die!" Especially you, Mr. Tom Hadner! The Strike of Light is not allowed to be passed on to the world! ”

The short figure stepped out of the black fog and appeared in everyone's eyes. He wasn't tall, a few points shorter than Eliza. He wears a red clown hat on his head and a blue-gray shirt and pants that resemble the costume of an adventurer's guild receptionist.

"It's you!"

Old Tom recognized the dwarf figure at a glance, after all, he had just been discussed, the sorcerer's physical puppet.

"Ouch, it's really rare that Mr. Tom Hadner actually recognized me. It's a little curious how a small person like me could be noticed by a patron of an elf. Mr. Tom Hadner, could you please explain? ”

The short figure walked slowly. As he walked, the black mist around him rolled, and the dripping red liquid was scattered all over the ground, and the thick smell of blood gradually spread.

Old Tom drew the blow of the blue light, and did not answer.

The blow of the light had an additional layer of hazy brilliance from the moment the dwarf figure appeared. One of the effects given to it by the elves' unique magic is that whenever an undead creature appears, the Strike of Clarity shines brightly. The more powerful the undead, the closer it is, the stronger the light it will shine on.

At this moment, the light on the Strike of the Clear Light is hazy, is this physical puppet not strong?

“…… That's the elven weapon, right? Hehe, it's a really ugly weapon! Tom Hadna, you show me such ugly things! You've me off! So, you, and your henchmen, go to death! ”

As his words fell, the Strike of Light instantly swelled. I saw that the short figure swelled up instantly, and the body that was originally about one meter two grew several times in just a few seconds. In a single breath, an undead creature covered in rotting flesh and emitting a foul odor appeared.

"W-What is this?"

Old Tom only felt that his scalp was numb, and his hands and feet trembled slightly.

He has been on the battlefield, and he has seen the scene of corpses in the field several times. He thinks he is no stranger to corpses, and he is not afraid. But the monster in front of him almost subverted his cognition. It made him feel like the acid water in his stomach was rising.

The completely decomposed head rests on top of a large, bloated body. The facial features were in a mess, the protruding eyeballs were out of the sockets, the bloodstained teeth were full, and only two holey noses remained. The blue-gray body was bloated, stitched with twine, and every now and then a mouth and an eye peeked out from the carrion. There are three arms in total, two of which are in the normal position on either side of the body, and the remaining one is on the right side of the abdomen. The abdomen is fully opened, and the tumbling red intestines inside can be seen, and from time to time red-black liquid splashes out.

"Stitch Monster!"

The characteristics of the undead creature in front of him were extremely obvious, and Fang Qiuling recognized it at a glance.

"How to deal with it?"

"How to deal with ......"

Stitchers first appear in the game in the five-player quest "Eberlock's Crypt" at level 25. In this quest, they have a challenge level of twenty-six and come with an elite template. They tend to wander the main roads of the dungeon in twos and threes, and will attack frantically once they spot the player. The weapons they wield are extremely ferocious, and you can see in their hands huge cleaver axes, meat hooks, and various heavy weapons such as hatchets and sticks. Heavy weapons in the usual sense of the word are as light as nothing in their hands, but every blow is enough to kill!

However, the ferocious attack power is not the most headache for the Stitching Monster. The most intractable thing about Stitchers is their carrion. Their carrion is so thick that neither light nor heavy weapons can effectively damage them.

- Lots of blood and thick skin.

This is the player's unified perception of the stitching monster.

Stitching monsters are a product of the "dark arts", powered by negative energy, and are one of the results of necromantic research. The lowest-level stitching monsters can also possess the strength of the Black Iron Rank, coupled with their far superior strength and extremely thick body. Even silver-tier players need to think twice when faced with it.

As for how to deal with the suture monster, to be honest, Fang Qiuling didn't know much about it, and he didn't have much experience.

When you encounter a stitching monster in the game, you can just start fighting.,There's no way to play.,As long as it's not the boss of the boss, the boss creature doesn't have to care at all.。 The caster uses a spell to directly beckon, the melee kitchen knife slashes horizontally and vertically, the archer keeps arrowing from a distance, and then the stitching monster falls, and then the corpse is opened and the person is gone. The stitching monster is that the model is relatively large, and the other monsters are no different from the general ones.

But in reality, see the stitching monster, like look at this guy in front of you. It was almost as tall as a two-story building, and a few points wider than a horse-drawn carriage. Just a wall in front of you, doing nothing, the extremely impactful carrion, the constant stench, and the constant dripping blood, any one of which was enough to make an ordinary person collapse to the ground.

“…… Daddy, is there any other way to your backyard? ”

"No, what's wrong?"

"I think it's better for us to turn around and run away."

There were only three people on the scene. Fang Qiuling, who has no position, Old Tom who is at the peak of Black Iron, and the fat boss who has never made a move but is estimated to be the most beginner of Black Iron.

Although I don't know what the strength of the stitching monster in front of me is, it is certainly not something that the bard can deal with. If Old Tom can only exert the strength to fight the ghoul just now, then he will definitely not be an opponent in the face of this stitching monster who also has the strength of black iron. Old Tom is not an opponent, so the fat boss definitely doesn't have to think about it. As for Eliza, who "can do lightning magic", her lightning can't even knock down the bear monster, let alone the stitching monster whose physique far surpasses the bear monster.

Old Tom's face darkened. However, I have to admit that between the two options of turning around and running away and facing head-on, he is also more inclined to turn around and run away.

"I can't run, there's no way back. What weaknesses does it have? ”

The corners of Fang Qiuling's mouth twitched: "This guy doesn't have any other weaknesses except for being afraid of holy water. The power is terrifying, the skin is also very thick, and he is not afraid of light and heavy weapons...... Hey, you don't need to talk about that, do you? ”

"Nonsense, just look at it!"

The Stitch Monster took a step forward. "Boom", its footsteps were extremely heavy, and there were immediately countless cracks on the stone-paved alley.

"Does this weapon work against it?"

"Of course it works, this sword is a magic weapon made by the elves for the characteristics of the undead. But...... The sword was the size of a toothpick to it. A few times with a toothpick, do you think you can kill it? ”

“……”

Old Tom stopped talking.

Stitching Monster has taken another step. As it walked, the slabs shattered and turned into rubble of various sizes.

"This guy is generally used to siege cities, and to deal with it, you need to use a heavy siege crossbow, and it is a concentrated shot! Or if you have the strength of the silver rank, you can dismantle it directly! ”

"Stinky boy, don't talk about it! Think of a way! ”

"I'm thinking!"

As he spoke, the Stitch Monster took another step. The heavy footsteps were like the scythe of death, a little closer, a little closer.

The stone pavement of the alley has been completely ruined. And as the blood on the stitching monster continued to fall, the road surface gradually became muddy.

Looking at the road that was mixed with blood and water and gradually became difficult to walk, Fang Qiuling's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Daddy, I've got a way!"

"What a way!"

"Don't ask, go first, go back to the yard first!"

"Good!"
