Blood tax

409 Speed ​​Up

The Son of Domon that just appeared was a degraded version that was much weaker than the form Griffith had seen before.They have a strong ability to hide and are very cunning, but their attack, speed, and defense have all been greatly weakened.

If there is any value in this thing, it is mostly placed in densely populated areas, causing casualties and spreading panic through large-scale attacks on civilians.However, judging by the strength these monsters have just displayed, they are not yet strong enough to contend with the official Beyonders and army.

After Griffith chased into the sewer, he lit a lantern he was carrying.

Bayerland has planned complex municipal facilities since its establishment, and important towns like Bremi Town have also built underground pipes and reservoirs. Today, it has become a large-scale underground world.

In the middle of the sewer is a knee-deep sewage river, and on both sides are stone roads several steps wide. It is very similar to the sewer structure in Canaan, but narrower and dirtier.

This is where the city's bums and criminals live.On cold winter nights, these people had nowhere to go but huddled in dark corners.

Griffith walked along the rocky shore for tens of meters, and found that the space suddenly opened up.The waterway just passed by is connected to a vaulted hall, and the pillars supporting the top have been corroded over the years and become uneven.From a structural point of view, this should be the cistern built by the city hall a long time ago. After it was abandoned, the wall was dug out and connected to the sewage pipe.

The terrain here is higher, there is less water, the surrounding ground is drier, and the odor is also reduced.

All in all, it is a good place for homeless people to gather, and there should be many talents.

The fire of the lantern illuminated the water surface, and the gurgling water seemed to be covered with something, just like the swelled and precipitated milk skin of newly heated milk, but the color was extremely dark.

Griffith mustered an ice gun, carefully picking up anything that drifted by, examining it in the dim light.

This is a brown-black film, very thin, like the skin of something, and the front and back are glued together.Griffith shook it away, only to see that there were still clumps of hair on the skin, and the folds and lines looked like human facial features.

Griffith was also shocked by the disgusting horror scene.Reminiscent of the sons of Domon transformed from the demon hunter Diaz, it is unavoidable to think that these monsters may have the power to transform their own kind from human flesh and blood.

If this is the case, these monsters have the ability to expand rapidly just like the tide of corpses.

Griffith took a few steps forward.There was an open space at the end of the hall, and the tattered pieces of cloth were scattered on the ground, and there were two men lying on the ground.Their faces were crushed by the terrible force, the eyeballs and gums fell off their faces, and blood was still bubbling from the remaining holes.Under the dim light, Griffith found sticky crumbs of meat on the ground, and at the corner a few steps away, a huge black shadow was making rustling sounds.

Griffith was about to shoot the thing, but it suddenly sensed the danger, jumped forward, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, Griffith heard a slight gasp.He followed the sound and found more citizens in a corner.They were still alive, but most of them were covered with blood clots, and they all stared blankly at the ground, completely unaware of the existence of Griffith.

"I am Officer Bayeram. Citizens, follow me and I will escort you out."

Griffith yelled again, but most of these people didn't respond, they just looked at him with stiff and distorted eyes, apparently all of them had lost their minds in extreme fear.

"Knight?" A familiar voice came from the crowd, like Tina's voice, but as faint as a candle in the wind.

After finding the person he was looking for, Griffith immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyone who can move will follow me and get out of here."

As he spoke, he drove his blood energy.The scorching, vigorous breath spread out, which lifted the spirits of everyone present.Somewhere, it seemed that some kind of icy shackles were dissolved, and the desire to survive overcame their fear, allowing them to stand up.

Tina felt that she suddenly gained some strength, and stood up unsteadily.She was amazed, and couldn't believe the magical power, but she still grabbed the knight's arm and said, "There are many of them, and they will come back anytime."

"Leave these things to me to worry about." Griffith pulled a few people up from the ground, and walked along the way they traveled.There are still many people who still seem to have lost their souls, lingering slowly and stiffly.

Griffith couldn't care less about it.Just because he is not afraid of monsters in the dark does not mean that ordinary people here are not afraid.As long as the Son of Domon attacked from nearby, the frightened citizens could only wait for death.He could only pick up two slowly moving people, lead them to the exit, and then turn back to help others.

"They came out of the ground suddenly, grabbed us and dragged us in here," Tina led some people who were in better condition, supporting each other and followed, "I saw monsters eat some people, and then use others to hatch their own similar."

Tina's sense is quite high, and she can take the initiative to explain the situation to me under such circumstances, she is indeed a good candidate... Griffith nodded: "The army will arrive soon."

Griffith brought these people back to the ground, and the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard in the distance.Continuous flames appeared at the intersection of the street.

The town of Bremi is also under the curfew.Although the nearby city defense forces may have been attacked and did not have time to support and act, the stronger garrison forces will be vigilant and act anyway after Griffith demolishes the second floor.

Seeing the army approaching, some terrified survivors breathed a sigh of relief.They were already so frightened that their hands and feet were weak, and they insisted on fleeing back to the ground only by their desire to survive.Now, as soon as the breath is relieved, they all go limp like mud

"Everyone gather and don't get separated," Griffith ordered, then pulled Tina over and stuffed a bag of money, "From now on, you will work for me."

"Ah?" The hostess didn't respond for a moment.

"Fighting will break out here at any time, and there is even greater danger. You have to be careful. After the situation stabilizes, you can collect news for me near Bayeran, what the council, wizards, and wealthy businessmen from other provinces are doing, what they are talking about, who Who are you walking with?"

Tina weighed the full purse, and immediately replied: "I can find the waiter and the coachman, they know these big people best."

"That's good. Once you have collected the information, write to me. The Lamor Mansion will tell me the address." Griffith said his contact information, and explained a few more words before going back to the sewer to save some people. come up.

"Understood." Tina thought for a while, and then asked another question, "The money is all for me, so let me handle it?"

The use and auditing of intelligence funds~ This is really a difficult problem... Griffith has no time to implement this, so he can only nod: "It's up to you."

……

After returning to the sewer, Griffith immediately went to look for those citizens who hadn't followed.

However, this time, before he got close to the survivor's hiding place, a strong smell of blood came to his nostrils.

This also carried a little warm blood, giving the sewer the illusion of walking into a slaughterhouse.There is even a strange slippery and greasy touch on the cold ground.

Griffith looked down and realized he was stepping on a fuzzy mass of guts.Fragmented corpses piled up randomly, and the wounds were obviously cut by sharp instruments, and the smoothness was shocking.

The closer to the corner where the survivors were hiding, the more tragic the scene was.Intestines and viscera hang on the corners of the uneven walls, like hell in the shadows.

Griffith was taken aback.He only took people away for a few minutes, and the scene was already so terrifying.

In the deepest part of the underground hall, the fresh bones that have just been stripped from the flesh and veins are piled up into a crazy symbol, like words, and like a huge eye. There is even a faint trace of abnormal evil. How sublime it is to bow down and surrender!
"Warning, level 6 psionic ripples have been detected," Bone Ring reminded at the same time, "Some kind of ritual is starting."

When he first encountered the Son of Domon, Griffith was wondering who arranged these monsters, and whether there were other chosen ones or forces that took advantage of the crazy life characteristics of the monsters.However, after seeing this astonishing scene, he was almost sure that this was a ceremony arranged by Naira, the hand of God who weaves life in the Void Realm.

When Griffith saw the ritual of bones, an invisible storm suddenly roared, almost blowing him down from the ground.Immediately afterwards, the white bones piled up into weird shapes began to disintegrate and collapse, turning into fine powder dregs in an instant, scattered away by the wind.

This has surpassed the level of tactics, and has characteristics in a certain mystical sense.

"What the hell is this?" Griffith asked.

"Together with the psionic energy nodes in the Void Realm," Bone Ring said, "Minos detected a large number of similar psionic energy signals appearing nearby, a certain high-level psionic life form completed the sacrifice, started the ceremony, and completed the specific target. interact."

"A specific target?" Griffith was surprised to find that it was not aimed at himself, "Who could it be?"

……

Outside the town of Bremi, by the window of the Palace of Sanssouci.

Prince Commodus looked out the window, and in the distance within sight, the town of Bremi, where senators, councilors and representatives from other provinces gathered, was panicking amidst waves of commotion.

Several knights, a team of imperial guards, and attendants pushed the door in. Seeing the fully armed prince, they asked respectfully:

"Your Highness, we have detected a powerful psychic signal, which may come from a chosen one, do you want to take action?"

The prince turned around and shook his head: "The sacrifice of the chosen one has been accelerated, and the second stage will come earlier.

"I'll be out of here soon. Steiner, Wink, Busey, stay, the others go."
