I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The hunter among the heroes immediately ran to the window that Li Yue had smashed, touching and smelling it.

The other eight heroes didn't seem to have regained their strength yet, and were moving their bodies.

The hunter checked for a moment, twitched his nose, and narrowed his eyes.

In that instant, the hunter's eyes were like an eagle.

"Did you find it?" Among the other eight heroes were five thieves, who were already a group. The leader, a woman, had a sweet and deceptive voice.

The other three heroes were a dancer, a gunslinger, and a martial artist. The dancer and martial artist were fine, just waiting quietly; the gunslinger raised his hand, and the white paste seeping from his hand kept changing shape, seemingly tending to transform into some kind of gun.

Finally, it solidified into two pistols.

The hunter was silent for a moment, seemingly uncertain, then raised his head and said softly, "He didn't go far."

"Huh? Didn't go far?" The female thief didn't understand what this infidel who broke into the church at night was thinking.

He's not escaping even after being discovered by the church?

That bought time for the Hands of Thieves.

Before his death, the hunter was very puzzled.

The trap was triggered, and vines wrapped around Li Yue's body.

In the gap between his severed head and his body, seven Hands of Thieves stretched out, groped Li Yue all over, tore his clothes, stole the valuables from him, and even snatched a lock of hair.

It's just that the town is surrounded by non-believers, cleaners, and imperial troops searching inward, and outside, there's a team of 9 heroes tracking him... …

Even if Li Yue understands this world, he can see that the actions of these 9 people are directed at him, and he immediately understands what happened—the church's priests released heroes to capture people?

It's just that the current route is still clear, but Li Yue hasn't noticed the light penetrating the ground.

It's like being chased by 9 vicious dogs at the same time.

Li Yue felt that outside this world, the church, merchants, thieves, heroes… there was one that was…

Li Yue ignored the hunter's knife stabbing towards his kidney, and didn't make any movements against the trap, simply gouging and severing the hunter's head.

The sky's light hadn't even penetrated halfway yet; in a moment, it would completely envelop Li Yue.

Li Yue broke free from the vines and fled, without any hesitation—from the start, Li Yue's target wasn't this hunter, but only to blind their "eagle eyes."

"Of course, it's a tracking bullet, it's here." The gunslinger pointed to the mine tunnel.

The hunter raised his knife to block, but in the next second, Guan Xue rushed in front of him, and he only saw a bright iron sword stabbing straight at his face.

This was not the battlefield Li Yue had chosen.

A sense of unease came over her, and Guan Xue realized she had to leave.

Li Yue, on the other hand, was somewhat familiar with climbing in the mine tunnel, slowly moving upwards…

The hunter raised his knife to stab Li Yue's kidney, while simultaneously throwing binding traps, preparing to rely on the hunter's "endurance" to withstand this infidel's attack, and then use the traps and increased damage to wear him down.

Does this mean the church is capturing heroes and then converting them into believers?

There was a complete bullet that had been thrown on the ground by the shadow, gradually losing its shape and turning into white paste.

If, from the beginning, I had really gone to the church to pray as written on the flyer, would I now also be locked in this cage, receiving the whip of an unknown believer?

"He's here!" The hunter's eagle eyes locked onto Li Yue, and holding a hunter's knife solidified from white paste, he took the lead in chasing after him.

Even with the mental fortitude to steal from someone and then hide under their window, Guan Xue was actually a little nervous while waiting, constantly scanning back and forth with her X-ray vision to determine if there was any danger nearby.

"Damn it… he escaped! Chase!" The hunter immediately discovered the prey's departure, retracted the traps he had just set up, and led the other 8 heroes into the sewer.

"Join you… trust you… I can catch up to him…" The hunter's head opened its mouth, rolled its eyes, and invited the 8 heroes.

When the 9 heroes moved, the light in the town's sky also changed—in the direction of the 9 heroes' movement, the light suddenly intensified, seemingly marking Guan Xue's escape route.

The remaining 8 heroes were stunned for a moment.

Endurance!

The hero with the best physique was setting up traps at various exits of the ground and sewer, his eagle-like eyes constantly locking onto the area of the sewer he was in.

A chase is about to begin.

A gunshot rang out from behind, and a white bullet shot towards Li Yue's back, but was immediately blocked cleanly by the rising shadows, leaving no trace of injury.

Only his shadow knew how it all happened—when the iron sword slashed down on his neck, white paste surged out, which should have held back the sword, but the sword's shadow touched the hunter's shadow and directly tore it open…

This mine tunnel was about three hundred meters long, only allowing one person to pass; the end of the mine tunnel was an upward mine shaft, almost vertical.

Li Yue didn't know how much they knew about the underground mine tunnel, but this was undoubtedly Li Yue's advantage.

Eh? Discovered?

The hunter's "endurance" couldn't withstand that sword.

"What you should use best is a tracking bullet…" The female thief placed her last hope on the gunslinger's bullet, hoping to leave a clue.

The hunter's idea was very meticulous, but upon contact, the hunter was immediately decapitated.

Behind him were the seven Hands of Thieves and a gunslinger providing support. As long as they blocked for a moment, the traveler would surely die.

The 9 heroes, accelerated by the dancer, were constantly shortening the distance between themselves and Li Yue, and happened to see the traveler at the very end when they chased to this mine tunnel.

Then they saw 9 ragged fellows lurking on the ground.

But it looked like Guan Xue had cut off his head with one sword.

The safest place is the most dangerous place. Li Yue planned to hide underground in the town hall, survive the first wave of searches, and then find a way to leave Iron Mine Town.

Just then, Li Yue flipped over and landed, blocking the entrance to the mine tunnel; the 9 heroes were lined up in a row, in the order of hunter, thieves, gunslinger, and dancer.

Li Yue turned around and ran, iron nails flying from his hand, pouring towards the hunter's eye sockets.

"Are you sure?" The female thief stood next to the hunter and looked down into the ground with him.

Rufus and Vijes simply listened silently, without any words or actions, waiting for the light around Iron Mine Town to close in and cut off the traveler's retreat.

Of course, Li Yue didn't see any of this, and thought it was just that his body was tough and thick-skinned, able to block even bullets.

It was as if he had fought thousands of times, Li Yue was very clear about what he should do.

The hunter's head and body were separated because of the shadow.

The cages inside were holding heroes?

While waiting in the sewer, Li Yue was also calculating how long to stay before escaping—he had already seen the real halo lighting up around Iron Mine Town, knowing that the church was encircling him.

White paste also seeped out from his severed body, and he slowly turned around, holding onto the mine tunnel.

Turning and turning, Li Yue ran into a narrow mine tunnel, slightly controlling his pace, calculating the time it would take for the heroes to catch up…

Blocked by the hunter's corpse, they watched helplessly as the large man with torn clothes rumbled up the well and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Time was of the essence.

Seeing the 9 heroes chasing closely, Li Yue pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

The unchained female began to dance, making the 9 heroes as light as feathers; the seven wretched thieves and a guy holding white pistols were waiting anxiously.

The situation was not too optimistic.

The heroes chased halfway, the target was close in front of them, the thieves put on white paste gloves, and the gunslinger's pistols were already loaded.

Guan Xue thought for a moment, and after the hunter's trap took shape, she quickly ran deeper into the sewer.

Li Yue had to say that this approach was very pragmatic, greatly alleviating the church's problem of insufficient manpower.

At this moment, Li Yue was shrinking in the sewer under the town hall, motionless.
