Chapter 258. The Strange Fishing Village

"Monster?"

Roger was startled, and he tore the net away with both hands. The broken fishing net couldn't withstand his strong strength and was instantly torn away. He rolled and landed on the boat, and quickly pulled out the steel sword on his back.

"Do not kill me!"

Seeing him pull out his weapon, the short murloc didn't take the initiative to attack, but quickly hid back, his body curled up into a ball, the greed on his face disappeared, and he looked at Roger in horror.

At this moment, a tall figure standing beside the little murloc rushed over and blocked the little murloc behind him.

He is about the same height as an adult, and there is no human appearance on his body anymore. He just opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak a word.

"What happened?"

The performance of these two monsters made Roger slightly startled. He didn't relax his vigilance, and with a forceful pull with his other hand, Henrik was pulled out from the water.

"Boom!"

One foot stepped on Henrik's chest, and the latter vomited a mouthful of sea water, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Where are we?"

At first, Henrik's eyes wandered a little, but soon he saw the monster not far away.

"Murloc?!"

"The little one can talk."

Roger added.

"It's impossible!" Henrik was surprised.

Murlocs are the lowest level of monsters. Even if they evolve to the limit, it is difficult to produce intelligence close to human beings, let alone speak.

"This is where?"

Roger looked back, and the small fishing village loomed in the distance, and the structure was very similar to the one he had been to before.

But he didn't think too much about it. Most of the fishing villages by the sea look the same, and it's normal for some of them to be similar.

"This is the village..."

The little murloc hiding behind widened his eyes, which were filled with tears.

Cuckoo.

As he was talking, there was a strange sound in his stomach, obviously he hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Is this a murloc village?"

Roger was a little strange, but Henrik took out his pistol and shot it casually on the edge of the wooden boat. The loud sound made the little murloc tremble, but the figure standing in front of him protected the little murloc.

"Who is he to you?"

Henrik asked.

"It's my father."

"He can't speak?" Henrik looked strange.

"People in the village got a strange disease, scales began to grow on our bodies, and our teeth became sharp..."

"It was the adults who changed at first, and then little by little, the whole village became like this. Now, except for a few children and the elderly, the rest of the adults can't speak."

The little murloc looked at Henrik in horror.

"Even... even some people gradually lost their minds and became like monsters."

Henrik and Roger looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Any other curses or spells that can turn ordinary people into monsters?" Roger asked.

Henryk nodded.

"Yes, there are, but if the entire village..."

"It's so hard, and it's not necessary."

He moved his gun slightly, and pointed at the tall figure standing in front of the little murloc.

"I know you can understand us, row a boat and take us back!"

The tall figure struggled for a while, but when he saw the gun in Henrik's hand, he could only nod considering the power of the weapon just now.

The distance from here to the fishing village is not far, and it didn't take long to get close to the coast.

The beach was soft, but the surroundings looked extremely dilapidated, and the village was quiet, with no one in sight.

The few people had just entered the fishing village when suddenly a figure in sackcloth jumped out from behind a house. He held a gleaming harpoon in his hand and stabbed Roger from behind.

"Ah!"

The little murloc uttered a scream, and Roger had naturally noticed this sneaking figure long ago. He turned around and kicked the harpoon away, stepped forward and bumped his knee on the chest of that figure.

"Boom!"

The steel fork in his hand came out, and the figure was also hit on the wall not far away, and the blue skin was exposed under the torn sackcloth.

With a whoosh, many figures sprang out from the surroundings, some of them were wearing clothes, some were naked, tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, and children.

Some held sticks, some held harpoons, and surrounded the four of them, with vicious defenses on their faces.

"Don't do it, he didn't hurt us!"

The little murloc shouted loudly.

"Outsiders, let my villagers go, get out of here!"

"We can't let them go. If those city people know that we have this strange disease, they will send hunters to kill us!"

Said another voice.

The crowd parted, and two old men, one tall and one short, appeared in front of Roger.

Compared with other people around them, their changes were very small, only their skin was slightly blue, and there were not many abnormalities in other parts of their bodies.

"You said that people in the village got a strange disease. When did it happen?"

"Don't the people in New Moon City know about it?"

Roger asked with some doubts.

"It's been a long time, but recently it has become more and more serious. Many people in the village can't even talk."

One of the tall old men saw the man who was kicked down by Roger just now struggling to get up, the expression on his face was slightly relaxed.

He sighed, "Disaster is about to strike. As for New Moon City, the situation in the city may not be much better than here. The entire city is under martial law."

"Only allowed to enter, not allowed to go out. I heard that people in the city also got a strange disease a few months ago, and many people turned into monsters."

"From day to night, people are being attacked all the time, and the killing is going on every second. The whole city is full of blood, and no one dares to walk on the street."

"What did you say?"

Henrik was taken aback for a moment, "People in New Moon City are also suffering from strange diseases, and at the same time, there are monsters rampant?"

"How can this be?"

Calculating the time, he and Roger would not leave New Moon City for more than a day at most, and even if something happened, it would be impossible for the news to pass through.

What's more, the old man in front of him said that the incident happened at least a few months ago.

But when he and Roger left, New Moon City still looked orderly.

Time anomaly?

"We don't need to lie to you about this."

The short old man looked at Roger and Henrik, "It seems that you should have come from somewhere else."

His eyes stayed on Roger for a moment, "You seem to be a local, have you just returned to your hometown recently?"

"If I were you, I would leave this land as soon as possible."

"The whole area is cursed. Everyone has been hearing rumors that disaster is coming."

"I've said everything I can say, can we let our villagers go now?"

Henrik had never encountered a similar situation. He glanced at Roger and understood the meaning in Roger's eyes.

"How far is it from here to New Moon City?"

The old man pointed to a dirt road at the entrance of the village, "Follow this road to the north, and you will be able to see New Moon City in a day or so at most."

"But I really don't recommend you go there. Because once you enter that city, you can never come out again."

Letting go of the little murloc and his father, Roger, and Henrik backed away, and the others around them also remained vigilant.

But when the two retreated to the entrance of the village, there was a roar, and the murloc who attacked Roger just now went crazy and pushed an old man to the ground.

He opened his mouth wide and bit the opponent's neck!
