The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Karu, the king of beasts in Trub Mountain, is a kind of beast that even Hoffman finds it difficult. He once saw with his own eyes how a Karu who left the mountain forest slaughtered a hunting group of more than two hundred people in full armor. The team, who took back his cub from the hunting team, so far he still remembers the look that Karoo looked at him when he left with his cub in his mouth. The look in his eyes was cold enough to freeze the soul. The King is more of a monster than a monster.

Although his strength is not a little bit stronger now than it was then, every time he thinks back to the original scene, he still has no confidence that he can survive the attack of the Kalu back then.

At the beginning, when he found out that the accompanying beasts of the head of the Luffy family, Bain Luffy, were actually two Karui, he subconsciously thought it was just a lie, but as the news was confirmed, he began to feel that Bain Luffy En Luf should be regarded as the strongest member of the lumberjack family.

But what happened afterwards made him suspect that Bain Luffy's companion beast was Karu again, because Bain, who had two Karu, was emptied of power by the old man of his own family and could only be a puppet patriarch. Seriously inconsistent with Karoo's power in his mind.

The arrest of Bain Ruff this time made him affirm his guess. Bain Ruff's companion beast is not a Kaluu at all, but a beast that looks like a Kaluf, because with Kalu's power, those The person responsible for capturing Bain Luffy would have died in Karoo's attack long ago.

It wasn't until later, when Hoffman released Bain Ruff and asked him to summon his companion beast hidden in the fog to help him maintain order, that he realized that he had thought wrong before. The companion beast possessed by Bain was indeed It is Karui, the king of beasts, but these two Karui are different from normal Karui.

I don't know whether it was Bain Ruff who disabled his companion beasts, or the two Karui had their own defects. All in all, Hoffman just felt that these two companion beasts had Kalu's appearance and sharp claws. And fangs, even strength, but it was too different from the Karoo he remembered.

Hoffman doesn't know the difference between the two, but he knows that if there is a difference between the two, it is the difference between a wild forest leopard and a domestic pet cat, like Bain Ruff's companion animal Karube said One or two, even ten he can handle it.

So when he guessed that Bain Luffy, who was framed by someone, might release his companion beast to hurt people out of anger, he rushed towards the square without any fear, and when he arrived at the square, he saw a Karoo When he was biting a high-level member of a lumberjack family, he was able to calmly draw his sword and repel the Kalu.

Although the overall combat power of this Karui cannot be compared with the real wild Karui at all, its body is still a Karui, and the skin, scales and hair on the surface of the body still have strong defensive power, even if Hoffman The sword was struck with all its strength, but it still could only leave a small scar on that Kalu's body, and it would not cause too much damage to it.

After the attack was repelled, the Karoo also seemed to feel that Hoffman was posing a threat to him, so he stopped attacking other targets, but quickly ran back to Bain Ruff, and then attacked Hoffman. He bared his teeth and growled.

At this time, Bain Ruff also saw Hoffman. He knew how strong Hoffman was, and immediately called the other Karoo back to his side, then turned towards Hoffman with a gloomy expression, and said: "Hoffman, are you going to intervene in this matter?"

"You were released by me. I can't let you hurt them." Hoffman said while gesturing for the others to leave, holding the knight's sword and walking in front of Bain.

Bain said in a deep voice again: "You also think that I killed old Bjorn?"

"No, I think you were framed." Hoffman spoke directly from his heart.

Bain was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hoffman to answer him like this, and he could hear that Hoffman's words were not just perfunctory him, but really believed that he was not the murderer who killed old Bjorn, So he was silent for a moment, and the anger on his face due to being framed, misunderstood and provoked was slightly reduced, and he said to Hoffman: "What are you going to do now? Prepare to arrest me again, after everything is over , judge me again?"

Hoffman said solemnly: "I don't want to do this, I hope you can put on the shackles yourself, and I can guarantee that during this period of time, nothing harmful to you will happen again."

"What about after that? What about the family trial? Can you guarantee that I will get a fair and just trial?" Bane asked again.

This time Hoffman didn't answer him.

Although Hoffman didn't answer, Bain already knew the answer. A sneer of disdain appeared on his face, and he said, "You are no different from those guys."

As he said that, his body suddenly seemed to be congested and turned red, even the pair of mutated big horns on his head were bloody red, and the two Kalu bodies beside him also appeared similar to him. Blood red covered the surface of Karoo's body, and Karoo's eyes also became red, looking more ferocious than before.

If only the appearance changed, it would not make Hoffman too nervous. The problem is that at this moment, whether it is Bain Ruff or the two Karui, the overall momentum has changed. , and he can feel the power surging from the bodies of the three.

If it was said that the three just made him feel a little troublesome to clean up, then now the three can already pose a threat to his life, and it is a great threat.

The change in the situation made Hoffman's look extremely solemn, and he no longer casually held the knight's long sword with one hand, but clasped it with both hands, and did not preemptively attack, but very cautiously displayed the general knight's sword technique The defensive corner in the middle is planning to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Bane and his companion beasts.

However, what Bain Ruff thought of at this moment was not how to attack Hoffman in front of him, but was a little surprised by the improvement of his body strength. This method was the first time he used it, so he didn't think of his own attack beforehand. The power will increase so much that he doesn't know what to do for a while.

While staying in the basement of the manor, Bain Ruff and his two companion beasts were used as experimental subjects by Leo, sometimes drawing their blood, studying their bloodlines, and sometimes testing some weird and strange things. Mysterious rituals, and taking some unknown potions from time to time.

Although these experiments did not bring any substantial harm to Bane, they made him always worried. He was deeply afraid that he would lose his life because of a mistake by Leo. As for escaping, he had no similar thoughts at all. Dare to move.

Those days were the days he was least willing to recall, but he was not without any benefits. For example, the blood-burning ability he uses now was inspired by him and Kalu after taking a bottle of Leo's potion. Yes, or more correctly, it was inspired by Karoo, and he only has this ability because of the particularity of the companion beast.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking, if he knew this ability was so useful, when he was caught at the appointed place that day, he could have used this ability to remove the poison from his body, and then counterattacked to get rid of his captors , there will be no trouble now.

Thinking of this, Bane's thoughts returned to the current battle. After seeing Hoffman's defensive posture, he immediately directed Karu to attack Hoffman without hesitation, and he dismantled the He got off a street lamp made of a stone pillar in the square, hugged the stone pillar, and threw it at Hoffman.

Although the two Karui's attacks were very fierce, they were just beasts after all, and their attacks followed instinct, and every movement was full of flaws.

Hoffman handled it with ease, and was even able to find Karoo's attack flaws, and counterattacked at weak points such as eyes and mouth, so that the two Karoos could never play a cooperative role.

But Bane's joining the battlefield made Hoffman a little bit hard, because Bane's attack was unreasonable at all, it was simply using his strength to smash randomly, easily disrupting Hoffman's fighting rhythm, and even he Don't worry about Hoffman's counterattack, because with his attack speed, he can completely damage Hoffman while he is hurt by Hoffman.

Although Hoffman has rich combat experience, this is the first time he has encountered such a rogue style of play. If Bain is alone, he can still deal with it. Karoo, this made him unable to find a countermeasure for a while, so he could only retreat while fighting, using the method of delay to consume the opponent's strength, and also hoped that Bain and Karoo's special method of stimulating combat power would not lasts too long.

Although Bane was a little dazed by the power he suddenly aroused, he was not completely irrational. He was very clear about the shortcomings of his current method of arousing power, so he found that he couldn't do it in a short time. When he took down Hoffman, he began to consider retreating.

When he waved the stone pillar in his hand and forced Hoffman back again and again, he suddenly threw the stone pillar towards Hoffman.

Because of the inertial thinking caused by the previous attack, Hoffman didn't expect Baine to make such a move, and he couldn't dodge effectively for a while, and was hit by the stone pillar.

However, when Hoffman was hit by the stone pillar, he quickly adjusted his body based on his own experience, allowing his body to fly outwards with the force of the stone pillar, and when he landed, he also rolled a few times. While removing the excess power from his body, he also guarded against possible follow-up attacks by Bane.

However, when he stood firm and began to look for Bain, he found that Bain, who had always had the upper hand from just now, was sitting on the bumpy back of one Kalu, together with the other Kalu. Running towards the dense fog not far away, it seemed that he was about to escape.

Seeing this situation, Hoffman also knew that there might be a problem with Bain's method of motivating his power, and his chance to fight back came, so he didn't hesitate, and chased after him with the knight's long sword, and shouted The people in Bain's fleeing direction blocked Bain.

Although the members of the lumberjack family could see that Bain was running away and heard Hoffman's shouts, they had no intention of blocking Bain at all. When Bain rushed over, they hid one by one. It was so far away that no one dared to approach it.

Seeing that Bain easily escaped from the square, Hoffman couldn't help cursing in his heart, but he didn't stop and scold those who got out of the way, but speeded up and caught up.

Although Hoffman felt that he might not be able to catch up with Bain who was sitting on Karoo's back, his duty prevented him from stopping, at least until Bain entered the thick fog and was determined to escape. Stopping, this is not only to be responsible for one's own responsibilities, but also to stop the mouths of some caring people, so that they have no excuse to find trouble for themselves.

However, something unexpected happened, just when he saw that Bain in front was only a dozen meters away from the thick fog wall, and would soon be able to rush into the thick fog and get rid of his pursuit, Bain stopped. When he got down, he stood in the same place with his companion beast, as if he was held by some invisible force, which looked very strange.

This abnormal phenomenon also made Hoffman slow down his pursuit. When he was only about ten meters away from Bain, he changed from running to walking, and he clenched the knight's long sword in his hand, and approached Bain cautiously. kindness.

He didn't know why Baine stopped suddenly and stood where he was, but he was sure that there should be something in front of Baine that caused Baine to make such abnormal movements. He didn't want his battle with Baine to end. All benefits are taken away by a third party.

Soon Hoffman bypassed the huge bodies of Bain and Karoo, came to the side, and saw the scene that Bain was watching at the moment.

I saw five people walking out of the thick fog in front of Bain, three of whom Hoffman knew, they were members of the Powell family, and they were also rangers appointed by Shancheng. The appointment ceremony of the three was Hoffman Hosted, so although Hoffman is not familiar with these three people, he still understands them.

After the dense fog appeared, Hoffman and the Powell family also discussed that if the location of the three people patrolling the forest was in the dense fog, it would probably be more ominous. Unexpectedly, the three who were considered to have died At this moment, people appear in front of Hoffman under such circumstances.

However, judging from the overall state of the three of them, the three of them seem to be very bad and feel that they have suffered a lot.

In Hoffman's view, these three people were definitely not the reason why Bain Roof stopped, so he quickly shifted his attention to the two strangers.

His sight was first attracted by that woman, because he had never seen such a beautiful and noble woman. Although she was only wearing an ordinary noble hunting suit, she still gave off an incomparably noble feeling. , and made people feel ashamed, and couldn't help but bow their heads.

However, while the woman was so radiant enough to attract everyone's attention, the man who looked more like a bodyguard gave Hoffman a sense of danger, a sense of danger enough to suffocate him, this danger The feeling even overwhelmed the woman's attraction to him, so he couldn't help but want to turn around and run away.
