Chapter 312 Monster Cub
Constable Guan carefully drew out the official sword from his waist, and ordered Zhou Chen behind him to also draw out his long sword, "Follow me carefully."
In his eyes, Zhou Chen was just an upstart with no skills at all, who had no chance to fight back against the monster. He wanted to leave him outside and go in alone, but it was too dangerous here. If he stayed outside, he might die faster, so he chose to let him go in with him.
Even though he knew that letting this guy follow him would be a burden, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. As for letting him go first, that was too much to think about.
Before coming, Shen Li had already given a death order: either kill the monster and the two of them would be released without charge, or die in there and sacrifice their lives for the country. If they dared to escape from the battlefield, there would be no need to wait until noon tomorrow, they would be killed on the spot.
The room was very large, and I could barely see some objects inside with the moonlight outside, but it was not very clear.
Constable Guan couldn't hear it outside, but after he came in, he could hear the animal's breathing, mixed with the sound of chewing.
However, the two of them walked around the room and did not find any trace of a monster. "Hey, Zhou Chen, did you hear any sound?"
At this time, Zhou Chen's voice changed, "Sir, I won't hide it from you, I heard it all when I was outside the door just now."
"What, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I, I'm afraid to say it."
"You," Constable Guan pretended to hit him, but after thinking it over he gave up.
"Sir, do you feel that the sound came from the belly of this statue?"
After being reminded by Zhou Chen, Constable Guan also felt that the sound seemed to come from his body.
At this time, Shen Li was outside and asked, "The boss and the others have been in there for such a long time, why is there still no movement? Have they been eaten by monsters?"
"How would I know? Let's wait and see. If nothing works, we'll retreat first." At this time, the attention of the group of more than 20 people was all focused on the front. They didn't notice that a hunting dog with shed hair appeared behind them. The hunting dog was just a little bigger than an ordinary hunting dog.
At this moment, he was looking at the twenty or so constables in front of him with bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help drooling.
At this time, in the ruined temple, Constable Guan had already come to the statue with an official knife in hand. Due to the dim light inside, he had not noticed it before. Now that he had walked in, he saw that there was blood on the ground in front of the statue, and the blood looked very fresh.
Not only that, if you look closely, you will find that the statue is stained with some blood, and at this time, strange chewing sounds are coming from the statue's stomach.
The sound was very strange, as if it was the sound of an animal gnawing on bones. At this time, Zhou Chen stood aside and tried to lower his voice as much as possible and asked, "How is your Excellency?"
Constable Guan ignored him and circled around the statue. When he came to the back, he discovered that there was a small hole the size of a human head behind the statue.
Constable Guan bent down, and the moment he bent down, he smelt a faint smell of blood from his nose. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he actually lowered his head and looked into the cave.
However, it was extremely dark inside without any lights, and he couldn't see what was inside. However, he saw a few pairs of blue eyes emitting faint light. The moment he looked inside, those pairs of eyes also looked towards him.
Although he was prepared, he was still startled. He screamed and then sat down on the ground.
At this moment, the thing inside seemed to rush out, and the moment it came out, he could see clearly what it looked like. It was a hairless hunting dog.
After rushing out, it bit Constable Guan's vitals. At this time, Constable Guan was sitting on the ground and had no time to react. When the dog was about to bite him, an official knife fell down and directly chopped off the dog's head.
In panic, Constable Guan quickly stood up and clenched the official knife in his hand. He never thought that the one who could save his life at the critical moment was Zhou Chen's family. At this time, he saw Zhou Chen holding the official knife and still chopping at the corpse.
The hole behind the statue was too small, and only one dog demon could come out at a time. The back half of this dog demon was stuck in the hole, making it impossible for other dog demons to come out. Seeing that Zhou Chen was still going crazy, Constable Guan hurried forward to pull him back, because although the hole was blocked, Constable Guan found that a dog demon had actually crawled out from the shoulder of the statue, and it seemed that there should be another hole on the shoulder of the statue.
The dog demon watched his companion being hacked to death by Zhou Chen, glared at Zhou Chen angrily, and then pounced directly at him. Fortunately, Constable Guan pulled him back at the critical moment, and soon all the dog demons in the statue rushed out and surrounded the two of them.
Constable Guan held his official sword in his hand and looked at the monsters around him. "These are all the monster's cubs. They have no fighting power, so you were able to easily kill one just now."
Zhou Chen looked at the four little dog demons surrounding them and said, "Sir, are you sure you can handle these guys?"
"Dealing with them shouldn't be a problem, as long as the big ones don't show up."
As they were talking, several small monsters pounced towards the two and bit them. The only difference between them and ordinary hunting dogs was that they were much faster, and their defense was not that strong, so they could be dealt with by the official swords of the two.
Perhaps they saw the difference in strength between the two, three monsters surrounded Constable Guan, and one surrounded Zhou Chen. He was very fast, and even though he had not yet awakened his magical powers, his speed alone was enough to give Constable Guan a headache.
These little guys are very strong. If you are bitten by them accidentally, at least a large piece of flesh will be bitten off.
Zhou Chen was naturally not afraid of this little guy. When he saw him about to come over, he pretended to be unintentional and blocked him. For a moment, the dog demon was so angry that he bared his teeth at Zhou Chen.
As long as he wanted, he could kill these monsters instantly with just a thought, but he did not choose to do so, because through spiritual exploration, he found that the outside of the ruined temple was not quiet at this time, because the ninth-grade monster was attacking Shen Li and his group.
Zhou Chen had no good feelings towards them, so he could use this monster to make them bleed.
Moreover, if we solve the trouble here directly now, given Guan's character, he will definitely go out to help. It is better to use these guys to delay him temporarily.
After all, the monsters here are just cubs, and their fighting power is not strong at all. They just look humble, and their attack power is just so-so.
What Zhou Chen didn't expect was that the guy named Guan was no match for the three little guys. As they were struggling, he was bitten on the thigh by the dog demon.
In an instant, he bit off a piece of meat from it. Seeing this, Zhou Chen's mind moved, and Yue flew out directly from the storage ring and turned into a sword spirit. With just a wave of his hand, he killed the three monsters.
Then he turned around and waved his hand to deal with the dog demon in front of Zhou Chen. At this time, Constable Guan was already scared silly. As a low-level constable, he had never seen a master of this level.
At this moment, his face was full of shock and even the wound on his leg didn't seem to hurt anymore. After dealing with several monsters, Yue broke through the window directly. Zhou Chen hurried forward to check his injuries, "Are you okay, sir?"
As he spoke, he moved to check the wound on his leg. The moment he tore open his trouser leg, Constable Guan screamed in pain.
Zhou Chen ignored him and looked down. At this moment, a trace of "poisonous" black gas was emanating from his wound.
