Soul echo

Chapter 2 Demon Hunter

The man on horseback was facing the blood moon sideways, his dark yellow eyes shimmering in the night, and the long sword slightly drawn on his back reflected the moonlight, which was breathtakingly cold.

Zhong Ye took a breath, and said calmly, "A living person."

"Of course I know you are alive..."

The man frowned, and his lips were drawn into a straight line, "But there should be no living people in this place!"

With that said, the man turned over and got off the horse, holding the sword hilt tightly with his right hand and never letting go.

Although he could tell that the person in front of him was a real 'living person', but in this place, he couldn't guarantee that the 'living person' he thought was a real human being.

"Why are you here?" The man stared at Zhong Ye.

"I don't know." Zhong Ye answered truthfully.

The man's lips moved after hearing this, and he fell silent.

Afterwards, he let go of the hilt of his sword calmly, "My name is Amos, and I am a demon hunter. How about you?"

"My name is Zhong Ye." Zhong Ye hesitated for a moment, "...from the East, a warrior."

After saying that, he looked around and asked doubtfully, "What is this place? Why do you say that there should be no living people here?"

The demon hunter's expression was complicated, he was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply: "This was once the edge of the occupied area, but the power of the abyss has never set foot here, and it was the refugees who escaped from the occupied area that destroyed it... In short, this There are no living people in the place, and the nearest human settlements are a hundred kilometers away."

"Then why did you come here?" Zhong Ye asked curiously.

Glancing at him, Amos looked at the ruins, and sneered: "The great Eriksson sent a call to all Etruul to 'take back the land', we demon hunters are powerless to stop his crazy idea, we can only I can come here in advance to investigate."

Zhong Ye nodded thoughtfully.

Silence rendered the ruins, and Amos took off the rucksack from the horse, took out the camping supplies, and said: "There should be undead in this ruins, you killed them? By the way, if you don't mind, I hope You can pick up some wooden blocks, although there are still many doubts about you, but I will not do anything to you until I confirm that you are an abyss creature."

Telling the truth is a good way to dispel vigilance, and nothing opens people's hearts more easily than sincerity.

Flames rose in a dilapidated house, and although the house was also leaky everywhere, it was better than the outside.

Amos took out a bag of bacon from his rucksack, picked out one, cut it into fine pieces with a small knife, put it on a skewer, and roasted it over a campfire to soften it, otherwise, one bite would break his teeth.

Zhong Ye casually took the knife thrown by the demon hunter, and looked at him with doubts in his eyes.

Seeing the knife twirling between the fingers of the Eastern native, Amos raised his eyebrows slightly, "This hand is really powerful... Please eat it, don't worry, it's not poisonous."

although……

Zhong Ye looked at the meat on the knife, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but the next second he opened his mouth to bite down the rather hot bacon.

To be honest, the taste is not good, it can even be said to be unpalatable, but if you don't eat it, there is nothing else to fill your stomach.

"Although it is dangerous to take you out of the occupied area, I still decide to take you out of here tomorrow."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye looked up at Amos.

The firewood crackled and the flames danced, which made the witcher's face red, and clearly reflected the seriousness on his face.

The bright yellow vertical pupils reflected Zhong Ye's figure, and Amos said seriously: "There are people more professional than me outside the occupied area, they can confirm whether you are human, so I'm sorry, I want to take back what I said earlier , if you want to leave now, then I can only kill you first."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Ye let out a foul breath and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't know where to go right now."

After discussing the order of vigil, the fire quickly fell into silence again. The demon hunter closed his eyes and began to meditate. Zhong Ye called the panel in his heart, just like in the game, personal information formed a subtitle and appeared on his screen. on the retina—

level one...

Zhong Ye finally confirmed that this body was his real body.

Looking through the records, he was a little surprised to find that even the knowledge obtained from "Echo of Soul" was systematically recognized.

There are no undead creatures on Earth, and all his knowledge of undead creatures comes from the game "Echo of Souls" - and the area he was active in before was the Eastern Land.

What the hell is this place...

Zhong Ye sighed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Zhong Ye broke up the still smoking fire with a wooden stick, and Amos put the rucksack on the horse's back and tied it tightly.

There is an indescribable tacit understanding between the two. They are wary of each other but have a certain degree of trust. They get along very frankly. Although there is very little communication, every time they speak is almost the truth.

"From here, you can go north or east to Yitruul, but no matter which direction you go, you need to go through a desert."

Amos led the steed and pointed to the north, "After passing through the desert, it is considered to have left the occupied area. Before that, it is possible to encounter abyssal monsters.

"Especially, I'm still a 'witcher.'"

Zhong Ye walked aside in silence, listening quietly.

Hearing this, he asked, "What is 'Abyss'?"

The demon hunter glanced at him in surprise, but he understood when he saw Zhong Ye's appearance that was completely different from his own.

"You are an Eastern native. Maybe you don't call it that abyss, but your side should also be affected by the abyss—it can deform life and even the environment, and can awaken the undead. Of course, the most terrifying thing is the abyss monster." The demon hunter looked into the distance in a daze, as if he was recalling the past, "They come from the abyss and have the power to demagogue people. Just their appearance is enough to induce the distortion of living things. The only good thing is that except for the plague variant, other Aberrations do not have the ability to continue to spread the abyss."

Amos' words made Zhong Ye realize the danger of his situation, and frowned slightly.

In Dongtu, this kind of power is called "demon". Whenever the blood moon rises in the sky, the souls of the dead who have not been saved will wake up and cause troubles in the world.

Even if the moon god Changxi tried his best to suppress the demonic nature, there would be a blood moon every month, and this time must be the darkest day of the month.

Where the moon has light is called 'bright', where there is no light it is called 'po', after the new moon (the first day of the lunar month), the moon's brightness increases gradually, and the moon's soul gradually fades away, and when the moon is full (fifteenth), the light is full, Afterwards, the soul will disappear, and the day when the moon is dark (at the end of the month) is the time when the blood moon is in the sky.

Zhong Ye has never seen the so-called 'magic'. When he traveled over, "Echo of Soul" had just finished its closed beta, and the character level had not yet reached level six.

But from the tone of Amos, you can tell that this 'deep monster' is not something easy to get along with.

"You are a demon hunter, so you will attract monsters from the abyss?" Zhong Ye suddenly felt something, and raised his head with a frown.

Amos laughed, "The demon hunter was born for the monsters of the abyss. Since the day I chose to become a demon hunter, hunting the abyss has become my destiny—of course, so is being hunted by the abyss. "

He turned around and took out a few pieces of equipment from his backpack, and asked by the way, "Do you need any weapons?"

"Knife, sword." Zhong Ye replied calmly.

He is proficient in most of the martial arts on Earth, not just fighting skills, including the use of thermal weapons, he can use most weapons.

Amos took out a hand and a half sword from his rucksack and threw it over, "I only have this here, I don't know if you are used to it."

Taking the long sword, Zhong Ye stroked the edge with his finger, silently feeling the coldness of the blade.

The shadow projected on the ground quickly enlarged, and a strong wind blew up on the barren land, and the sand particles swirled, forming dust waves rushing in all directions.

The witcher patted the horse and shouted with a smile.

"Lettuce, run!"

The steed with the rucksack neighed, opened its strong limbs, turned around and rode the dust waves into the distance.

Amos and Zhong Ye were the only ones left on the ground. With their heads held high, they looked at the giant eagle that spread its wings and blocked the sunlight.

Amos raised his left hand, clenched the revolver called a 'hand cannon', and smiled very happily.

"Try this!"

boom--

A shot was fired, and fighting broke out.
