Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"It eventually transferred its magic."

The woman walked over, looked at Luo Xiu, and slowly spoke:

"After this transfer, its essence has been damaged, and its strength will drop to the fifth rank. Although it can escape through the gap in magic power, it will no longer be a true fifth rank."

"Moreover, it can't run far. After the magic is transferred, the injuries you inflicted on it will be almost fatal, and it can only find a place to eke out a living."

Luo Xiu understood; this fifth-tier mushroom monster had essentially cut off its own flesh, like a cicada shedding its shell.

The severed flesh, it's easy to guess, was probably fed to that big guy above the casino who made the money.

The big guy that originally needed seven days to get through the critical period may now take less time.

"Congratulations, brat, you've eliminated a fifth-tier monster."

The woman spoke with a smile.

Luo Xiu found it hard to laugh. Losing a fifth-tier unit was indeed a good thing, but the battle situation was still very unfavorable. He didn't know what the outer perimeter had become. He could vaguely see the firelight in the sky over there.

"I'm going to the outer perimeter, do you want to come with me?"

Luo Xiu spoke, the sound of adding points still ringing in his ears; he used all the points he had gained to increase his speed.

He has to go find Leila.

He hadn't gone to that demon bat cave before because Leila's night patrols were enough to kill all the first and second-tier demon bats, while killing the third and fourth-tier demon bats would definitely attract the higher-tier demon bats in the cave.

Moreover, the Demon Bat Cave is different from the Mushroom Monster Cave. According to internal information of the Knights, the king inside is likely to have reached the sixth rank.

Like the Slime Kingdom at that time, this was a monster group that had already become quite powerful.

"No fighting is allowed above the fourth rank," that's the rule.

Now that the Mushroom Monster has broken this rule, it's hard to guarantee that the Demon Bat won't too.

He had to go find Leila; it was too dangerous there, and he couldn't leave her alone.

The woman nodded:

"I'll go as well."

"But I'm about to leave."

"it is good."

Luo Xiu nodded.

Whether a woman goes or stays is her choice; he only asked her for a ride.

……

In the cave.

The scene at this moment was simply bizarre.

Meanwhile, outside, Kanriel was in complete chaos and in a deep crisis, but the fifth-tier beings inside the cave seemed completely oblivious.

Since Sheke's position was suspended, the group has started discussing various matters, big and small, such as the thorough investigation of the Gold-Earning Casino, the repair of the alchemy array in the Bellflower Garden, and the questioning of Lucas about the contamination of the array.

This cannot be blamed on a few individuals. As the highest meeting in Canril, the Canril Conference always lasts for an extremely long time, sometimes even several days and nights.

After all, the outcome of this meeting will determine the future direction of the city and affect the fate of everyone in the city.

The strange thing is that, given their abilities, it's impossible for them to be completely unaware of what's happening outside.

“I agree to question His Excellency Lucas in detail.”

Hermes raised his hand and expressed his opinion.

After saying that, he crossed his arms and buried his face in the shadows beneath them.

No one could detect his recent joy and upturned lips, just as no one could detect his current astonishment and anger.

Chapter 193 Kanriel's Night

Just as Luo Xiu had hoped, the night sky tonight had a moon, but unfortunately, not a single ray of moonlight reached the city of Kanriel.

The overwhelming swarms of demonic bats blotted out the sky, covering the skies above Kanriel like a black curtain; boundless darkness was the dominant color of the night.

Luo Xiu was very fast; it only took him a dozen seconds to get to the outer perimeter with the woman.

But the situation on the outside now looks very bad.

The flickering flames became the most reliable light source in the darkness. They were not caused by the attack of the demon bats, but by torches lit spontaneously by the residents of Kanriel.

These damned beasts are afraid of light and fire; that's all they can do if they're below the third rank.

But that's clearly not enough.

There were just too many demon bats. It was hard to imagine where so many demon bats had been hiding before. Even with the magic circles inscribed on the high walls constantly bombarding them, they still couldn't stop some demon bats from rushing into the city and grabbing at the panicked crowd.

And this is not the only crisis.

As far as Luo Xiu could see, there were large groups of people whose clothes were bulging, and on their limbs, there were dense mushrooms growing, which looked like patches of herpes, but were obviously much more painful than herpes.

Herpes doesn't cause people to writhe in pain.

The only good news is that the transmission of mushroom diseases is limited, and the infected population has not spread.

Luo Xiu was glad that he had just stopped the fifth-tier mushroom monster from breaking through. That mushroom monster was the source of the mushroom disease, and if it had broken through, the epidemic might have become uncontrollable.

"Alright, I'll stop here."

Luo Xiu put the woman off his shoulder.

"Until we meet again, you brat."

The woman had no intention of staying, even though she witnessed the perilous battle situation throughout the city.

"Ah."

Luo Xiu didn't care about this. Even though the woman was, in a sense, his elder, they had only known each other for a few days.

He left, his figure like a gust of wind, heading towards the direction of the Knights.

The woman watched Luo Xiu's figure disappear in an instant, pursed her lips, and turned to leave as well.

She showed almost no emotional fluctuations. Given her long lifespan, as long as Luo Xiu didn't die in this battle, the two would eventually meet again.

She believed that Luo Xiu's story wouldn't end here.

……

Luo Xiu didn't charge directly into the Knights Order; to be precise, he fought his way to them.

He had arranged to meet with Hup in the abandoned gold pit in the inner city, but plans can't keep up with changes, and no one expected the battle to break out suddenly.

Along the way, wherever he passed, the low-level demonic bats were reduced to pieces.

He didn't even need to lift a finger; if any of the demonic bats touched his body while moving, they would be instantly smashed into a cloud of blood mist.

"Squeak-"

Above, several fourth-tier demonic bats among the swarm spotted Luo Xiu on the ground and witnessed their kin being wantonly ravaged and crushed by this blond man.

The next second, they spread their four pairs of fleshy wings that blotted out the sky, and swept up a destructive gale as they all rushed toward Luo Xiu.

They had already received word that there would be no fifth-tier beings among those guarding the city this time.

Since that's the case, they're prepared to tear Luo Xiu apart, so that this weak human will finally face reality.

Luo Xiu sensed the thoughts of these fourth-tier demonic bats, but he didn't care. He just ran forward and rescued people who were attacked by the demonic bats along the way. White healing light kept shining.

During this process, he became increasingly angry.

Because there will always be some people who are too late to be saved.

They had either had half their bodies eaten away by the demonic bats and could only crawl futilely on the ground, leaving behind a pitiful trail of blood.

Or perhaps his wife or child was snatched away by the demonic bat, and he knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Looking at the hellish scene before him, Luo Xiu felt a surge of sorrow and anger, like two mournful melodies, resounding and echoing each other.

This is a racial war, and even though he had experienced it once before, it still struck him like a heavy hammer on a bell in his heart.

There is no right or wrong here, only life or death. As long as you still consider yourself human, you will be unable to help but feel angry.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he broke off the wing of a third-tier demonic bat in front of him, turned around, and looked in a certain direction.

There was a little girl, filthy and covered in blood, running barefoot, crying as she ran:

"Mommy, Mommy, where is your debt?"

A second-tier demonic bat had already set its sights on the little girl, its scarlet eyes flashing with ferocity as it pounced towards her.

The little girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she didn't notice at all that a monster was rushing towards her.

All she knew was that her mother had just shielded her with her body and then been captured by a monster.

The monster's claws pierced her mother's waist, and bright red blood sprayed all over her face.

"Mommy! Mommy!!!"

Her cries were drowned out by the noise; barring any unforeseen circumstances, she was about to die, perishing in this battle and forgotten by the world.

Her father died in an alchemical explosion years ago, and her mother passed away tonight. She has never controlled her own destiny and is about to leave this world.

Fortunately, she is still young and does not understand what fate is or what suffering is.

"Oh!"

She tripped over a pebble on the ground, her knee bled, and she couldn't get up because of the pain.

"Mother……"

After her heart-wrenching cries, she had no strength left and could only lie on the ground, her eyes blurry with tears.

"call--"

A strong wind was approaching, and her small body was almost swept away by it.

The demonic bat's sharp, dagger-like claws were already close, carrying a foul stench, and its ugly face was only half a meter away from the little girl's body.

The little girl seemed to sense something; she lowered her head and muttered to herself in a trembling voice:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Niu Niu, don ...—"
