This small commotion did not last long. Pierce was taken away by a bounty hunter, and his life or death was unknown. The people in the town were on guard to prevent outside gangsters from escaping in.
Arthur led Victor and the others to check the safety of the cemetery, which was located on the hill behind Black Gold Town, where there was a sparse forest.
They came to a cliff, where a lonely grave was surrounded by rough stone slabs, with the name of Joshua Conor engraved on it.
The sun was about to set, and under the golden afterglow, Arthur bent down and pulled out the weeds growing around him.
It can be seen that he is very careful, because there is not much grass around the tomb, which proves that Arthur often takes care of it.
"Where is the grave of Ms. Hannah?" Victor looked around and found that there was only this lonely grave on the edge of the cliff.
Arthur pointed to the hill to the side.
"I buried her in a place with blooming flowers. She loved to lie in the sea of flowers the most during her lifetime."
The hillside in that direction is colorful, and there are indeed many flowers growing there.
Ahem...
Father Sang leaned against the tree and stared at the tombstone on the cliff. His mind was far away and he didn't know what he was thinking of.
"It's not easy to guard a tomb alone, Mr. Arthur." Henry stared at the other person's face.
Arthur knew that he was from the Inspection Bureau, and the two also talked about the Conor Gang before going uphill. Henry gave the same advice as Victor. As long as Arthur was willing to cooperate, the Inspection Bureau would do something about it at some point.
Give him a lighter sentence.
Arthur knew that one day his past would be revealed. His request was very simple. If the Inspectorate really wanted to investigate charges, he hoped to let the town guys go. After all, he was the leader of the gang at the time, and he had nothing to do with these followers.
It doesn’t matter.
But first, Arthur must deal with Augusta.
"It is indeed not an easy task, Mr. Inspector, of course I need help."
As he said that, Arthur looked at the sea of flowers on the side hill again, where a man in a white hat was bending down and doing something.
"Everyone in the town trusts me, so I can easily hire young and strong helpers. Just like just now, we were confronting that idiot down there, and Luo Nan was taking care of the cemetery for me."
After experiencing a bloody and cruel first half of his life, Arthur was lucky enough to be able to find a way to calm himself in the silent cemetery.
The wind was very light, causing the branches to sway slowly, and the air was mixed with flying catkins, but it was extra refreshing.
Father Sang picked off a small white flower and placed it in front of Joshua's grave. He leaned on his crutch and lowered his eyes slightly.
"Ahem... As long as we still have memories, we can meet our old friends in dreams."
The old man's words made Arthur sigh with emotion. It was the first time he communicated with the other party today, and he subconsciously thought that this was a wise old man.
"So we have to guard this cemetery. Sooner or later, Augusta will come and steal their remains." Victor reminded everyone.
Arthur nodded in agreement. He was very grateful to Victor for coming over to inform him of this matter. After all, the grievances within the Conor Gang had nothing to do with the Damon family.
The town has been strictly monitored by Arthur's companions, and it is difficult for outsiders to break in and escape the eyes of those cowboys.
Victor also knew that Augusta would probably look for other relics first, or plan a new plan to sacrifice human beings.
In short, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. For Augusta, taking away the remains of his old friend should be the easiest step.
Victor walked into the sparse woods with his hands behind his back. He looked at the various tombstones and smelled a pungent smell.
"It smells so bad..." Henry also smelled it, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
But the next second, he and Victor looked at each other, and both of them thought of the same thing.
Suddenly!
There were ups and downs in many places on the entire ground, as if an excavator was working underground. The lawns in some places instantly sunk, and bottomless holes appeared.
Arthur stared at the cave entrances and immediately realized something. He stood on the edge of the cliff and shouted towards the town: "Saluba!!!"
As he roared, several eight-legged spider-like green monsters began to crawl out of the hole quickly. They crawled towards the cemetery, began to lift a pair of forelimbs, and frantically dug the graves of their ancestors, removing any rot inside.
The body that was still not rotting was dragged away.
This kind of monster is famous for eating carrion corpses in the Yindong Continent. Basically, even children know about it.
People hate them for eating the remains of their relatives, so they beat these monsters every time they see them.
Of course, hand-to-hand combat was no match for them. The cowboys in the town heard Arthur's roar and quickly climbed up the hills with their guns in hand to come to help.
Arthur took out his revolver and killed the nearest Saluba, but found that this wave of invasion was extremely violent. Salubas kept crawling out of the tunnel, and at this time, the hills were full of potholes.
.
Damn it!
Arthur quickly looked at the sea of flowers to the side. He didn't know if Luo Nan had any weapons. At first glance, he didn't see his shadow.
"Victor! Detective, I'll leave this to you, I'll go and rescue Luo Nan!"
Arthur ran anxiously in that direction, while Victor, Henry, and Downey had already raised their guns and joined the battlefield.
Living people are not the target of monsters, their primary purpose is to dig up buried corpses.
There were so many Saluba that it was difficult for Victor and the three of them to clean them all, and they could only watch many tombs being destroyed by monsters.
"Did you smell the smell just now?" Henry asked Victor loudly, "I seem to have smelled it somewhere!"
Of course Victor is familiar with this pungent smell. Isn't this the potion he prepared to attract ghouls not long ago?
In short, someone was behind this large-scale Saluba attack and deliberately lured them here!
Father Sang stared at the eight-legged monsters. He was standing alone in front of Joshua's grave. When he saw a monster crawling towards him, he lightly snapped his fingers.
The next second, the monster's body overflowed with dazzling light, burning from the inside out.
After killing it with an invisible technique, a look of exhaustion appeared on the old man's face.
A large number of monsters began to besiege Victor and the others. The three of them were surrounded by seven or eight Saluba, forcing them to the edge of the cliff.
At this time, the support people from the town arrived, and they began to deal with the monsters crawling around. Gunpowder bullets were poured out intensively, and the gunfire never stopped in and outside the woods.
Just when the monsters were about to be driven back, some guys among the cowboys suddenly turned over and pointed their guns at their companions!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Screams and blood went hand in hand, and at that moment, another battle broke out on the hill. Traitors appeared among the gunmen in Black Gold Town, and some people began to hinder Arthur's people.
Victor and others also reacted, taking out their guns and attacking the cowboys who defected before the battle.
At this time, he looked across the sea of flowers and saw his helper Luo Nan being surrounded by monsters.
Arthur rushed over and shot two of them dead, then pulled them up from the ground and protected them behind him.
Then, Arthur continued to reload and shoot at the monster in front of him at a very fast speed, but his attention was not on the white hat guy behind him.
Therefore, he did not see that this guy named Luo Nan slowly pulled out a shiny dagger from his sleeve...
