Book of Gods and Demons

A trace of cold lingered in my heart.

Joe's inexplicable heart beat several times, and his whole body's hairs stood up one by one.

Soldiers and knights with torches and lanterns were all around him, but Joe still felt chilly, a little frightened, and a little scared... The black pine forest all around seemed to be suddenly filled with countless ghosts.

...

Well, this is the fear that the word ‘inhuman’ makes Joe instinctively.

And the root of all this... can only be said that when the child is young, the story before going to bed, it is best not to say ‘ghost stories’!

When Qiao was young, Liya occasionally talked about some pieces of folklore in order to coax him to sleep.

In this, there are many legends about ‘inhuman’.

"Inhuman"!

All non-human beings, all descriptable sea monsters, all understandable monsters and ghosts, and all unspeakable existences that cannot be accurately described in human language...all the "weird" and "horror" can be called "non- people'.

In this, there are many extremely ‘horror’ and ‘evil’ existences.

For example, the folk circulated in Tulum Port, the'small house that can walk', the small fireplace that eats children, the slippers that gnaw toes, and so on... These can all be attributed to the'inhuman'. Column.

When Qiao was a child, he heard a lot of such ‘inhuman’ bedtime stories...It is conceivable that these things left him with a serious psychological shadow.

Even if he was over eighteen years old, he suddenly heard the Hydra Secret Guard utter the word ‘inhuman’, even if there were so many extraordinary combat powers around him, Joe still subconsciously shed a cold sweat.

"Inhuman?" Joe looked at the Hydra secret guard solemnly.

"There is no entity, but the combat power is very strong... We have encountered similar things." Hydra's secret guard's face is a bit ugly: "The thin and tall figure of the black pine forest... The black shadow that specializes in abducting children... The last ten For a few years, near Hyderabad, he was very famous."

Joe stared at the Hydra Secret Guard, motioning for him to continue.

"We have caught three, and are still imprisoned in the claustrophobic temple for the study of Your Excellency Mediga... We have killed seven... but they continue to appear." Hydra's secret guard's tone was a bit secluded in a low voice. Said: "Their strengths are strong and weak, and the weaker, they just entered the fifth rank, and the one just now, absolutely senior sixth rank."

Qiao took a light breath, squinting, frowning, and looking at the dark pine forest through the car window.

He muttered in a low voice: "Hurry up and head back to Hyderabad... The Spirit of Corruption can cause such a mess..."

Joe didn't finish talking.

Big Ivan and the gang, in the Miller’s house, were preparing to attack Sharps who had left the Golden Hammer Club. In the Miller’s house, they ran into the Archbishop Arya of the Hill Church, as well as Mia and He Mike and his group.

In Hyderabad today, in addition to the escaping spirit of corrosion... but there is also the heresy of the Hill Church lurking.

Hurry up to protect Ferdinand back to Hyderabad.

Qiao did not want to admit that it was because of inexplicable fear that he did not want to stay longer on this dark forest road.

Ferdinand suddenly "chuckled" and laughed: "Little guy, what are you afraid of? Ah, ah, "inhuman" stories... those horrible bedtime stories? Hahaha, when Sallian and Conrad were young, I also told them many stories like this..."

"Oh, oh, you don't know, looking at your baby boy, so scared to shrink under the covers and dare not move, he obediently felt it until dawn, what a fun thing!"

"Let me think about it, the bedtime story I like to tell them at the time, about the'inhuman'... is'will crawl out of the kid's bedside table'... hey,'will crawl out of the kid's bedside table', Sa Lean and Conrad liked this story very much."

Joe rolled his eyes and glanced at Ferdinand.

This... old bastard.

Subconsciously touching the erect hairs on the back of his neck, Qiao instinctively glanced at the black pine forest.

Outside the prison vehicle, Hydra's secret guards and the high-ranking knights made sharp whistles at the same time. They drew out their weapons one after another and formed a battle formation next to the prison vehicle.

As far as Joe can see, in the black pine forest, there are more than a dozen black shadows about nine feet tall, as thin as a bamboo pole, wearing a round top hat and holding a slender cane, standing in a row. A hundred feet away from the avenue.

They stood there quietly, their bodies cold and evil.

A group of soldiers raised the new rifle in their hands, and accompanied by an order from a captain officer, the soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time.

These soldiers are all elite field troops near Hyderabad.

The new rifles in their hands are new things that were trial-produced in small batches in the arsenal under Salian.

Half inch, that is, the caliber of metric 12.50 millimeters, ten rounds of magazines, semi-automatic. With mechanical sights, this new rifle has extremely high accuracy within nearly two thousand feet.

And within a thousand feet, this new large-caliber rifle is enough to cause a fatal threat to extraordinary fighters below Tier 5.

More than three hundred soldiers aimed at the guns at the same time,'bang, bang, bang'... a round of large-caliber steel core was roared out of the barrel by a copper bullet, and with a sharp blast, it turned towards the ten in the dense forest. A few dark shadows shot past.

The low temperature made black pine trees extremely hard, and large-caliber bullets hit the frozen black pine trees, exploding large pits the size of human heads.

These soldiers deserved to be well-trained elite, only a small half of the bullets hit the tree trunk, and most of the other bullets hit the weird shadows.

The body of the black shadow disappeared from time to time, and the bullet hit their body, and they instantly became transparent. When the bullet flew by, they reappeared.

In just a few breaths, the soldiers burnt out the bullets of a magazine. They unloaded the magazines, took out new magazines from the ammunition bag hanging around their waists, and quickly completed the filling.

The gunfire sounded again.

A tall grenadier threw a heavy new grenades into the dense forest.

A huge explosion sounded, shrapnel spattered everywhere, and small steel **** hit the trunk constantly, causing the bark of black pine trees to crack, and numerous dense small pits were punched out on the trunk.

Ferdinand, who was sitting across from Joe, stood up at the moment the gunshot rang out, leaned on the car window, and looked at the soldier who was firing violently outside.

"The shape of this gun...wrong."

"The power of this gun...not right."

"The rate of fire of this gun...not to mention it...this is not a flintlock rifle, this is..."

Joe looked at Ferdinand and lowered his voice: "New rifle, a good thing developed by His Royal Highness Salian."

Ferdinand looked at Joe suspiciously: "Salien’s credit? No, you lie to me...Salien is my son, I know him better than you... He is indeed a good heir to the throne, but Do you think he can invent this kind of thing? Do you think he is those mechanical lunatics from the Second University?"

Ferdinand squinted his eyes. He pointed at Joe: "Ah, the boxes that were moved from the Royal Bank headquarters...and the Jules Silver Hammer family that Sallian bought from me... , And, you little fellow!"

"You little guy, it's funny!" Ferdinand pursed his mouth, nodded vigorously, and glanced over the medals and badges worn by Joe: "It's funny... If you are willing to lend me a million Golden Mark."

Joe rolled his eyes, pushed open the door of the prison wagon, and yelled loudly.

The car shook slightly, and several Hydra's secret guards quickly got into the car and sat beside Ferdinand. Joe stepped on the carriage pedal, got out of the prison car, and then closed the car door heavily: "You look good on him...ha, I will meet these uninvited friends."

Qiao was breathing deeply, his pupils glowing red, he ignored the obstacles of Mr. Segens and Lan Mujin, gritted his teeth and walked a few steps towards the dense forest, and came to the junction of the avenue and the dense forest.

The crimson instinct quietly floated, and because of the inexplicable fear just now, Joe felt great humiliation and anger in his heart.

He would actually... fear these... ‘the next three indiscriminate scums’?

Joe's two eyes quickly turned red, flashing a faint red light in the dark night. Accompanied by a faint sound, his two sleeves were quietly shattered, and the fist of the Titan turned into streamer, quickly wrapping his two arms.

"Hey, what are you guys... What are you doing here? Huh?"

"I heard that you are very good at kidnapping children?"

"Ha, we don't have any children here...we are all big lords here!"

The gunfire and explosions stopped.

The soldiers reluctantly discovered that their guns ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ grenades did not kill these shadows.

The soldiers clasped their rifles tightly. Like Joe before, they breathed heavily and sweated all over.

A tall and thin shadow walked forward two steps silently. He raised the thin cane in his hand and gently pointed towards the prison car where Ferdinand was in.

Silently, following the movement of this dark shadow, a faint mist rose up in the dense forest on both sides of the avenue. In just one or two breaths, the mist in the dense forest thickened rapidly, gradually becoming a creamy white like milk.

The avenue where the team was located was also blocked by the white mist.

In the white fog at the front and back ends of the avenue, there are also faintly thin and tall long strips of black shadows appearing.

Joe lowered his voice and asked the two Hydra's secret guards who had approached him: "There are so many things like this? It's on the edge of Hyderabad? Damn it!"

The faces of the two Hydra's secret guards were also very ugly.

Because these shadows are related to the disappearance of some children, Hydra's Secret Guard, as well as some other powerful branches of the empire, have joined forces to encircle them.

However, after more than ten consecutive years of encirclement and suppression, the total number of shadows they discovered was less than twenty.

Some were killed and some were captured. In recent years, the disappearance of children seems to have disappeared. Everyone thought that these shadows had been completely extinct.

Unexpectedly, they still have so many people, unexpectedly appeared at the same time today.

Gritting his teeth, Joe looked at the dark figure only fifty feet away from him, he clenched his right fist hard, and then blasted it out.

With a loud noise, the dense forest in front of him shook violently, countless falling pine needles on the ground exploded, and a fist the size of a water tank condensed in red light hit the black shadow in a straightforward manner.
