Chapter 263 Mutated Giraffe

"You, go to the back and protect Nicholas' safety, and then call Mi Lier over to me.

By the way, how long have you been following this thing?"

Liu Yonglu patted Kou Gang on the shoulder and asked Carol, who was concentrating on driving.

"It's been half an hour. I wanted to get rid of it at first, but its speed is gradually increasing. I guess it won't be long before it catches up with us."

Carol drove the carriage at full speed. Now several people were still walking on the main road. Carol had thought about taking a small road to try to get rid of them, but the horses had been galloping for several hours and could only maintain a full speed of one hour at most.

If we change to a more rugged path now, we will probably be caught up in a few minutes.

"Ricky, what's wrong?"

Millie Tang was still wearing Liu Yonglu's coat. She rubbed her eyes, not knowing what had happened.

"I was followed by someone, and I don't know what it is."

Liu Yonglu handed the monocular telescope to Millie Tang. He had just used the monocular to watch for a while and vaguely saw a group of dark fireballs, about seven or eight of them, crowded together in an irregular shape.

Judging from the height of the fireball, it was rising and falling, so it should be supported by something like livestock or a carriage underneath. It didn't look like it was floating in the air.

Millie Tang looked for a while, then handed the telescope to Liu Yonglu. She turned around and took her bag.

It was late at night and something was following a carriage on a deserted road. No doubt it was targeting the people in the carriage, so we had to strike first.

There were limited materials in the car, and it was difficult to accurately hit the target remotely, so she could only set up a simple binding spell called "Dark Agreement".

Tearing off a few sheets of paper from her notebook, Millie Tang drew spells on them, folded the paper into a small package in the shape of a uterus, and finally placed the materials inside and burned them.

When everything was done, she threw up the curtain of the carriage to block the view of the creatures behind, and then quietly sprinkled the potion behind the carriage.

"Puff puff!"

The carriage moved forward for several hundred meters, but the dark fireball continued to move at the same speed, following like a shadow. Milly Tang's potion had no effect on it, and it even got closer.

The three people in the front row even heard the sound of his palms hitting the ground.

The sound was very uncomfortable to listen to. It was not like the sound of the horny hooves of creatures like horses or donkeys stepping on the ground, but more like the sound of human palms quickly pounding the soil.

"Ricky, Millie Tang, hold the reins for me later, no need to adjust the direction."

At the critical moment, Carol even forgot to use the pseudonym he had used before the four men came. With a serious face, he took out his rifle from the car and prepared to fight.

As he was speaking, the dark fireball finally caught up to the rear of the car.

Only then did the three of them see its full appearance. Just as they had guessed before, the so-called fireball was more like the head of the creature behind them, except that the seven heads had no facial features. It could be said that the outlines of their faces were burned into charcoal by the outer flames as soon as they appeared.

Some burnt and carbonized organ tissues would fall to the ground while it was running, but the creature didn't care at all.

The seven heads were connected by a long thin neck. Liu Yonglu estimated that the neck was at least 1.5 meters long and very thin. As the heads ran at high speed, the neck would bend and shake from time to time.

The neck is connected to a humanoid body in a prone position.

Although it used its hands and feet to grab the ground and run forward, the monster's body was covered with a rectangular brass shell with four ugly holes in it, through which its hands and feet protruded.

A stuffed bird eating salt noodles - this is also stuffy.

Liu Yonglu took the reins handed to him by Carol and sighed sincerely, especially the shaking big head that was about to touch the roof of the carriage, which was quite oppressive.

"boom!"

Carol was definitely a veteran with strong tactical skills. Even in such a bumpy carriage, he still accurately shot the monster's head.

The dark fireball exploded instantly, and the scattered sparks were like blooming fireworks. But before the three people could breathe a sigh of relief, countless sparks seemed to come to life, and they turned around and flew towards the three people in the front row.

Even though he was two or three feet away from them, Liu Yonglu could feel the scorching heat.

Such a tiny spark has such great energy.

"You are not a bookmark, you are a shield. You are not a bookmark, you are a shield."

At the critical moment, Liu Yonglu leaned forward and used the black shield in his hand to block the three people.

"Bang, bang, bang." There were frequent collision sounds. Fortunately, these sparks only had temperature but not much strength, and they disappeared without a trace after hitting the thin black shield.

"Flame Spirit! You can't keep shooting."

Millie Tang squinted her eyes and observed that a small ball of flesh had grown from the place where it had just been shot, and a new head was ready to be conceived again.

"Dou.Nivar... Dou.Nivar..."

A sharp roar that makes one's teeth ache came from the monster next to the car. It seems that this name is an obsession for the monster. It is driven by it and will never stop until it achieves its goal.

Why are you looking for me again? Liu Yonglu felt wronged. He had never offended the giraffe with seven heads.

Millie Tang endured the distracting and crazy mutterings, leaned half of her body out and faced the monster. She wanted to pull it into her dream, but the necklace around her neck did not respond.

It's useless, this guy means no harm to us!
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Millie Tang suddenly guessed the identity of the monster.

"Bastoli!" It chased Ricky relentlessly. The brass box it was wearing was the same one it had seen in the restaurant that day, and it was not affected by its own ancient relics.

The only one who meets these three conditions is Bastoli.

After that day, Millie Tang also wondered why the other party could not enter her dream.

The rules of the Dreamland are absolute. Even though the Emerald Ascetic had such a high status, he would be taken to the deserted island by Ricky's Black Stone.

There is only one possibility for not being able to enter the Dreamland: the conditions are not met.

That is to say, Bastoli, and the monster related to him behind him, have no ill will towards the few people. He is just executing a certain procedure. He doesn't even think that crushing and swallowing you is an act with emotional tendencies.

That is not the purpose, just what it perceives as the result.

This kind of thinking mode does not seem like that of humans, but more like that of some specific gods or projections!
In the carriage, Nicholas actually woke up when Carol fired the first shot. He wanted to open the curtains to see what was happening outside but was stopped by Kogan.

"Sir, this is not the right time. Please hide in the carriage. We will ensure your safety."

The investigator manual clearly states that when encountering special events, civilians should be prevented from contacting and observing the clans and gods as much as possible. These creatures that are beyond their knowledge are likely to cause them to collapse and become insane.

Nicholas swallowed and nodded. At this moment he could only trust Ricky, the investigator that Prince Andrew considered to be the most capable.

Liu Yonglu, who was sitting in the front row, had just come out from his backstage. He gestured to Millie Tang and Carol to take the cotton balls out of their ears.

"It's no use. Giraffes don't have ears."

It's over. I've tried everything, but I can't kill it.

"What can we do, Ricky? The horse can only run for an hour at most. Sooner or later, he will catch up with us."

Carol tilted her head to look at the monster's hands and feet. The flesh and blood on them kept growing but were constantly burned by the flames above and were quickly carbonized and shrunken.

Slowly, the monster's hands and feet turned into a strange black and brown leather claws.

"Hurry up, are we far from the Dry Well Inn?"

"It's not far. Red Stone Town is on the way. I plan to rest for a night and take a detour tomorrow morning."

"Let's go to the Kujing Inn. We have reinforcements there!"

Liu Yonglu thought of Jacob. The six men were still waiting in the Kujing Inn. He would hide Nicholas first and use them to overcome the current crisis.

Milly Tang and Carol also knew that it was very dangerous to do so, but no one could guarantee that they could deal with the monster after the carriage stopped, so they decided to give it a try.

……

In a remote village outside the city of Novedon, Wordsworth was studying the brass toad in his hand and the note in its mouth.

"Just for fun."

Why does this pronunciation feel so familiar... I looked at the clockwork toy again. This thing also looked familiar. Where have I seen it before?
Oh…and there was a bunch in that backpack two months ago!
Just teasing you. Dou Niwar!
Wordsworth's muscles were trembling inch by inch under the black robe, and the brass toy was squeezed into a ball in his hands. Damn it, wasn't he stared at by the painter's hat before going to Novedon?

Could it be that even White couldn't seduce this boy's soul?
"What now, Mr. Wordsworth?"

Not all of the Father God's believers are mindless puppets. There are still many people who firmly believe that the green decay will eventually appear in the world. The believer in front of him is wearing the clothes of a sheriff.

It turns out that he was the spy in the escort team and the coachman in Hauser's carriage at the time.

“Now we can only hope that Alva can intercept Nicholas at sea.

Let's go back to New Newland first, and then visit Redstone Town on the way back."

The Father God's followers have lost contact at the Dry Well Inn. There must be something fishy going on there.

……

In the guest room on the third floor of the Dry Well Inn, Jacob had not yet slept. He was studying the scriptures word by word, referring to his notes, trying to find evidence to refute Dou Nivar's arguments.

But it must be said that although his interpretation is fanciful, it does make sense.

After they parted that day, the six inquisitors took turns to keep watch at night. On the one hand, they were afraid that Nicholas might slip away under their noses; on the other hand, they felt that the inn was eerie and that some pagans seemed to regard it as a stronghold.

Jacob stood up from his chair, stretched and looked out the window. He saw a ball of light approaching the hotel at a very fast speed.

He quickly hid his five-finger sword behind him, put on his windbreaker and went downstairs.

Before he could see what the light was, he heard a cry for help from afar:

"Murder! The bastard from the Gear Cult is killing people!"
