Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

The giant trees in the primitive sea of ​​trees rose from the ground, many of which were much taller than the buildings of the six continents and the world tree, making people feel their own insignificance.

The exploration team set up camp in a lowland that was small from the perspective of the giant beast, but large for them, and prepared meals and tents.

At night, thick fog rose like clouds, and it was not known whether it was a demon wind or the roar of the giant beast. Most members were exhausted.

Under the interweaving of various factors, German decided to stop the team and set up camp on the spot.

It was just right, giving everyone time to digest and absorb what they saw and heard today.

Qiduo, Ge'er, and Sambika also had time to check the many members of the exploration team to prevent anyone from being infected with some disease without knowing it.

Some members hiding in the "four-dimensional apartment" also came out to get some fresh air, if they wanted to.

No matter how most members of the exploration team changed shifts, at least one of the three strongest fighters, German, Jin, and Bisgi, was awake.

The long night passed, and the camp did not encounter any danger. Those who felt uncomfortable due to the mind energy also recovered at this time.

The exploration team broke camp and set off again.

They still had a long way to go. It was estimated that it would take nearly a month and 400 kilometers to reach the ancient maze.

Most of the time in a month would be spent in this sea of ​​trees, so German, Jin, Bisji and others would need to confirm the route and direction.

Fortunately, everyone could resist most of the dangerous situations by doing their own job.

During this period, German's main responsibility was to drive away those giant beasts, especially the aggressive and dangerous ones.

The mind energy he released every once in a while was like the roar of a lion patrolling the territory, spreading far away and warning the giant beasts.

Don't get close, this is my territory.

Generally speaking, the giant beasts are very obedient, not to mention the small and medium-sized monsters.

Therefore, in the following journey, they rarely encountered attacks from monsters, and even around the camp, they rarely saw monsters.

This made it difficult for the professional hunters who wanted to investigate the creatures of the Dark Continent to collect the excrement, footprints, and claw marks of those creatures. It was difficult to see the specific appearance of the creatures.

In fact, this was a good thing for the exploration team. The investigation work could wait until they arrived at the ancient maze.

In this way, after a week, the exploration team actually created a record of zero deaths.

Only some members were injured or infected, but they were all within the controllable range, without life-threatening or infectious risks.

However, German soon found something wrong.

In their original plan, they deliberately set the route to pass through several tribes that had joined the Small Sub-human Races Overwatch Alliance.

German also asked the Moose Centaur Tribe to greet them in advance to ensure that the human exploration team could rest and adjust in their tribe.

However, when they arrived at the first tribe, they found something abnormal here.

The entire tribe seemed to have been ravaged by some giant beast or storm. The buildings were destroyed beyond recognition, and all the sub-human races living here were nowhere to be found.

"Strange." After Jin investigated the entire tribe, he walked to German, "Have they been targeted by some large species?"

"It's worse than that. At least there will be remains of corpses left, but this place is clean, not even rotten corpses or bones are left."

German has already learned the answer implicitly.

"This is a precursor to the invasion. The flesh and blood monsters are out in full force. They will undoubtedly devour and assimilate all creatures with flesh and blood."

German took out the "Hunter Badge" and used his perception ability to temporarily stay away from here and check the situation around the lantern teleportation point one by one.

Unexpectedly, he saw a strange scene at the first teleportation point he chose - the ancient maze.

On the top floor of the ancient maze tower, a man wrapped in a black robe was sitting cross-legged on the teleportation stone formation, with his head down, as if he was sleeping.

Even if he didn't see his face or hear his voice, German realized the identity of this person at this moment.

Dong Fulishi.

Why is he here?

Suddenly, Dong moved.

He raised his head slightly, and the hood covered the upper half of his face, but it was still clear that he was looking at the perspective that German perceived.

Dong also sensed me.

Sure enough, Dong slowly stood up, nodded to German's perspective, then walked to the edge of the tower and pointed outside.

Dong was explaining something to him.

German's perspective moved along his finger and looked over, just overlooking the ancient maze castle.

The ancient maze castle, which should have been lifeless, now had many dense black spots, as if crawling with ants.

German took a closer look and could see that they were all small sub-human races, and there were many familiar faces among them, such as Scela and Qiholshi from the moose centaur tribe.

This group of sub-human races that had always settled in one area actually appeared here.

They looked quite busy, as if one group was carrying supplies, and another group was patrolling the walls of the ancient maze castle.

German adjusted his perspective again, and what he saw was not the resurrected painful and bloodthirsty apostle, but a scene of a group of monsters fighting on the edge of the sea of ​​blood.

Some of them are parasitic species of plant weapons, gold and silver ingots, while others are ugly creatures that have never been seen before.

Their body shapes and structures vary in size, but they all have one common feature, that is, they are blood red, with blood plasma flowing, their stomachs ripped open, and their flesh turned inside out...

This group of flesh and blood monsters are fighting with plant weapons, gold and silver ingots, and at the same time, their extremely terrifying and dense numbers have surrounded the entire blood sea, including the ancient maze castle.

Their target seems to be the ancient maze castle, but they don't want to step into the blood sea.

German quickly found the reason why they didn't want to step into the blood sea-

As long as the group of flesh and blood monsters fall into the blood sea and soak for a period of time, they will melt and become part of the blood sea.

This blood sea is actually the nemesis of this group of flesh and blood monsters.

German immediately figured out many key points.

Why did the "God of Gu" build an ancient maze here at the border closest to the west coast, and why did he create monsters like the painful bloodthirsty apostles here?

Because this is the relic of the war thousands of years ago, it was originally the front line of the war between the "God of Gu" and the "God of Flesh and Blood".

After those flesh and blood monsters invaded the ancient maze, they would first be divided by the intricate maze terrain, and then they would be parasitized by plant weapons, gold and silver ingots.

The parasitized flesh and blood would either kill each other with those flesh and blood monsters, or take the initiative to throw themselves into the sea of ​​blood to nourish the "disaster" here - the painful bloodthirsty apostle.

The more nourishment the painful bloodthirsty apostle gets, the smoother the ritual runs, the stronger it will become, and it may even have the possibility of impacting the legendary level.

Of course, judging from the ending, its impact ultimately failed.

However, the ancient maze, as a trap that invites people into the trap, is indeed the nemesis of flesh and blood monsters.

In this way, there is also an answer to why Dong and those sub-races gathered in the ancient maze castle.
