After she discovered the monster, she huddled in the shadow by the wall, not daring to come out.
It wasn't until she felt that the monster had walked away on its own that she slowly poked her head out from her hiding place.
In order to make sure that the monster with a wolf face had gone far, she picked up a small stone from beside her and threw it towards the place where the monster was just now.
Bang...
The stone bounced on the ground a few times, making some noise.
The girl clung to the wall, nervously observing what was going on there.
There were also the blood stains of the big white chicken and feathers scattered all over the ground, and it seemed that the monster's deep footprints on the ground could also be seen.
Although these things made the shocking scene reappear in my mind again and again. But the monster seemed to have really gone away, with no sign of coming back.
Because she was still a little scared, she hesitated for a while. When she thought that her mother was still at home alone, she mustered up the courage to crawl out from the corner.
Nia didn't know what kind of monster it was. She had never seen such a creature before:
It looks like a wolf, but can walk upright like a human.
The hands have sharp nails, like claws of beasts, and I believe they should be as sharp as sharp knives. But it seems that this monster is wearing clothes, to be precise, it is wearing some kind of protective gear similar to armor, and
He also had a weapon on his waist.
She had obviously never seen this kind of monster before.
But I don't know why, but it feels familiar to me. It seems that in some corner of my memory, I have encountered something similar to this.
"Could it be that...that's the orc?"
Nia thought of the news she had heard before, it seemed that orcs were coming.
Then the reason why everyone disappeared suddenly can be explained: because people have gone to seek refuge.
Many years ago, Difenni Village was often invaded by such uninvited guests.
That’s why alarm facilities such as watchtowers and bell towers are built, and drills on emergency evacuation of villagers are conducted once or twice a year.
The fact that these villagers were able to evacuate so quickly is also related to the village's tradition of preparing for a rainy day.
However, she and her mother seemed to be "forgotten" by the villagers.
"How could this happen? What about dad? Why didn't dad come to us?"
Realizing that there was no monster that captured everyone, Nia breathed a sigh of relief.
But she was full of doubts about this seemingly reasonable guess in her mind.
She did not believe that her father would choose to flee alone regardless of the safety of their mother and daughter.
But if this was really the case, it was equally unlikely that he and his mother would be left behind by the evacuation team.
But Nia didn't expect it, or Belkas and others didn't expect it:
Just because of a moment of carelessness, everyone actually thought that the mother and daughter could catch up with the convoy on their own, and they did not think that anyone would ignore the alarm bell and continue to stay at home.
It was precisely Yuffie's sudden birth change that caused all of this to happen.
Think about it, this is your destiny...
Nia held on to the wall, paying attention to the noise around her, and ran towards home.
Her mind was empty at the moment, and Nia gave up thinking and why the mother and daughter were left in this place where an orc might walk out of a corner at any time.
She couldn't explain what happened to her, and she didn't want to believe that they would be abandoned by her beloved father and those friendly people.
The girl simply focused her attention on the matter in front of her.
Now she has to go home quickly and escape from this place with her mother.
"Ugh!!"
She was about to pass a corner, then she turned another corner and walked straight forward for a short distance, and she could see the door of her house. But Nia froze in place.
Three or four monsters she had seen before blocked her way back.
They were probably robbing their neighbors. The doors of these houses were all pried open. It seemed that they thought the houses were too cramped. They moved a lot of furniture out of them, opened cabinets, rummaged through drawers, looking for things that might be valuable.
thing.
However, Nia, who walked a little faster, now had nothing to hide and no time for her to hide. She just stood in front of them without any obstruction.
Facing the human girl who suddenly appeared in front of them, the monsters were stunned. It was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the joy of robbery.
"Drink!"
But this also gave Nia time to breathe.
After realizing the situation in front of her, she shouted loudly, causing her frozen body to move, and immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
"Pablo (catch up)!"
There was a wolf-like roar from behind, and the monsters with wolf faces were chasing her. Although she did not look back, Nia could intuitively feel that the monsters were approaching quickly.
The stench of those monsters, the heavy breathing, the amplified footsteps, and the increasingly urgent pressure.
This information is fed back to her mind through her sense of hearing, smell and even sixth sense. Nia can now clearly know the number, distance and specific location of these monsters even without looking back.
Combined with the appearance of the village streets in her memory, she had a blueprint of everything happening around her now.
At this time, two monsters had already rushed towards her, but Nia shrewdly dodged towards the wall and entered the next street intersection.
She swerved on the roads in these villages and immediately got rid of the clumsy guys.
But she was not out of danger.
Originally there were only four chasing her, but when she was running on the street, another group of wolf-faced monsters sprang out from the surrounding streets amidst the calls of those wolf-faced monsters.
Then, as she continued running around the village, several more wolf-faced monsters ran out of the houses and streets.
There are sixteen wolf-faced monsters chasing her now.
But at this time, Niya relied on her familiarity with the terrain and her almost infinite physical strength inspired by the crisis. These wolf-headed people, who boasted of their agility, were unable to catch up.
Suddenly a wolf-faced monster rushed out from in front of her. As soon as it saw the girl who was being chased by her companions, it immediately rushed towards her with its claws and fangs bared.
"Drink!!"
Nia didn't panic, or her body started to move before her thoughts could react.
She shouted loudly, leaned down and passed directly under the wolf-faced monster.
This wolf-faced monster not only missed the target, but also hit the wolf-faced monster that was about to catch up behind it.
Although Nia dodged the wolf-faced monster, her steps were too big and her body instantly lost her balance and she fell directly to the ground.
At this time, a wolf-faced monster following closely behind rushed towards Nia who fell to the ground, but the girl also rolled aside without stopping.
The wolf-faced monster flew away and fell to the ground. But it fell next to Nia, and the girl could feel the monster's hot breath on her hair.
Facing the girl who was now within reach, the wolf-faced monster immediately stretched out his claws towards her, intending to wrap his arms around the girl's slender waist.
"drink!"
There was another clear shout, and Niya grabbed the discarded bamboo basket next to her at the critical moment and smashed it into the wolf's face that was full of saliva and dust.
Ouch!!
The wolf-faced monster suddenly felt pain and let out a howl. Nia took advantage of this moment to get up and ran towards an alley.
The wolf-faced monsters behind did not take care of their injured companions, but continued to chase the girl.
But when they ran into the alley, they were stunned.
Because it is a dead end. A high wall blocks the way. Even these wolf-headed men are not sure of climbing over this high wall. This should be a real dead end.
