Oring Hunter

"But, you just had a relapse of your 'old trouble' in the tunnel...so, so how do you know that your 'special ability' is still working normally?"

"What I mean is...we can't just rely on conjecture or intuition...we always need definite evidence...for example, only by discovering the core of the abyss from them can we be qualified to make a conclusion..."

Hearing this, Yechen nodded calmly.

"Yes, so I'm also going to check this fact now."

After the words fell, he then raised his palm under the gaze of Weimon and Shia, spread his palm, and summoned a bright red blood cell from the skin.

"If I didn't deliberately generate the desire to attack in my heart, then my normal blood would not have a lethal effect on mortals, hunters, and knights."

"However, this is not the case in the abyss. No matter what the situation is, as long as they are contaminated with my blood, even if it is normal, their bodies will be corroded like strong acid. This is what I have experienced countless times over the years. The results of experiments and practice..."

"So, now, I'm going to experiment with these villagers with my own blood."

After Ye Chen explained his plan in a calm tone, the eyes of Wei Meng and Xi Ya flickered a few times, and then they remained silent, and did not raise objections or questions to him.

It's just because the two of them have already had a deep understanding of Yechen's character, and they both know that it is absolutely impossible for this man to lie and fool around in such a matter...

Seeing that the two teammates chose to remain silent, Yechen then turned around, holding a bright red blood cell, and slowly walked towards the village chief Markuz who was closest to him.

Seeing such a situation, the crowd of villagers in the rear suddenly became a mess, all of them showed panic and began to whisper.

"What is he holding in his hand!?"

"Why does he look so scary now!?"

"Why did the atmosphere suddenly become like this!?"

Watching the bloodsmith hunter approaching him step by step with the bloody liquid in his hand, and feeling the overwhelming coercion emanating from his whole body, Markuz swallowed his saliva with a face full of fear, and immediately expressed it with extreme fear. The tone hastily asked:

"Mr. Hunter! For example, if our behavior is so rude that you are upset, we will apologize! As long as you are willing to give the order, let us do anything! So, so..."

In the end, when Yechen walked in front of Markuz with a blank face, the latter's emotions finally showed signs of collapse, and a bit of crying burst out of the old voice.

"So... Please don't hurt us... Even if you can only keep the children in the village..."

Hearing the words of the old village chief, both Wei Meng and Shia felt a dull pain in their hearts, which was extremely unpleasant.

And Yechen didn't respond to Markuz's words, but took a deep breath secretly, and then condensed the summoned blood cells on his fingertips.

Before the old village head could react, the bloodsmith hunter stretched out his hand, leaving his own blood in the middle of the other's wrinkled forehead.

Snapped.

Markuz took two steps back with a blank expression, and reached out to touch the blood of Yechen left on his forehead.

Then, a wisp of scorched black smoke quickly emerged from his blood-stained forehead, which caused a hissing sound.

That was the sound of Marquez's flesh starting to burn and melt.

"what……?"

Faced with such a situation, Marcouz's face was full of incredible emotion, but it quickly changed from extremely confused to extremely painful.

"Ah... ah ah ah..."

His old face began to heave crazily, and his stooped figure began to twitch crazily.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

In the next second, the old man's body began to change strangely, and his limbs began to gradually liquefy and melt under the gaze of everyone.

Then, in the dark and damp cellar, Markuz's extremely painful, hysterical screams and wails resounded immediately.

Witnessing this scene, Wei Meng and Shia were so astonished that they could not speak, while the villagers in the rear completely lost their original joy and happiness, and their faces were immediately frightened to the point of pale ashes. .

Seeing Markuz shaking and struggling on the spot, Ye Chen flicked his fingers without changing his expression, causing the blood stained on the opponent's forehead to flow all the way down, and immediately flowed under Markuz's thin collarbone, and then he threw the opponent His chest was directly opened in the form of tearing.

hiss.

However, the internal things presented before Ye Chen's eyes did not have the organs or veins that can be seen in ordinary people, but a pile of dark, undulating mud-like sacs.

Wrapped in the center by these disgusting flesh and blood is a pitch-black rough stone the size of a thumb.

Although its own size is very small, it really exists there, and it just appeared in front of Weimon and Shia, giving them iron proof of the fact.

Yechen's induction and guess were not wrong.

Even though the old village chief looked normal on the surface, his inner being had been infected by the abyss, to the point that he had formed an abyss core with a definite shape.

Then, after confirming this fact with her own eyes, Shia felt her heart ache immediately, her teeth clenched her lips unconsciously, and Weimon's brows showed a deep regret, and then he clenched his hands tightly. Fist, muttering to himself in a gloomy voice:

"How did it become like this... In the end... so we are still late?"

Yechen didn't speak, obviously he knew that things would develop like this, and then he transformed the blood he released into a sharp needle between the gaps in Markuz, and then under the dumbfounded eyes of the old village chief , piercing through the core of the abyss in his body in one fell swoop.

Ka!

The blood needle penetrated, and the core shattered.

I saw Markuz's mutated figure twitched a few more times, then bent over and collapsed on the ground, and finally turned into a piece of pale fly ash in front of Yechen, and dissipated so quickly in the air...

Chapter 0594 Resistance and Human Nature

I saw with my own eyes that the village head Makuz suddenly ushered in the horrible end of being wiped out, and the villagers who didn't know the situation behind were shocked and confused.

"He, he killed the village chief—!?"

"Why!? Didn't these hunters come to save us!? Why did they do it for no reason—!?"

"What the hell is going on!? What the hell is going on—!?"

The crowd was noisy, chaotic, and terrified. The old people and women in the inner circle cowered into a group timidly and tremblingly. They could only use words to comfort the children in their arms, while the adult men in the outer circle were frightened. , even though they each held their weapons tightly in their hands, they understood that all this would not pose any threat to the hunter at all...

Weimon and Shia watched all this quietly, just stood there motionless.

Ye Chen secretly took a deep breath, and immediately stretched out his hand to summon a ball of bright red blood that was bigger than his whole body, and waved his arms at the remaining villagers.

Before everyone could react or turn around and flee, the huge blood cell deformed and split into hundreds of slender blood threads in an instant, and each of them clung to the limbs of hundreds of villagers at lightning speed.

So, in the next moment, the villagers were full of pain and hoarse wailing, which resounded through the entire dark and damp cellar warehouse.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

"No, don't! I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"Mom... Dad... Where are you... Help me..."

No matter male or female, old or young, none of the villagers present could be immune to the harm of Yechen's blood, just because their bodies have been infected and corrupted by the abyss, so the contact with Yechen's blood itself, For them, it is no different from flame possession, they can only make useless struggles such as rolling on the ground when they are dying.

"..."

Faced with such a tragic scene, Shia bit her lower lip tightly, Wei Meng clenched his fists tightly, and Yechen closed his eyes slightly, but then opened them again impressively.

With a hard heart, I shook my hand.

Driven by Yechen's determination, the blood threads coiled between the villagers' limbs instantly transformed into sharp needles, and then each pierced into the skin of these victims, piercing through the abyss core inside. crack.

crackling.

Accompanied by one after another muffled sounds, the villagers distorted their bodies in an inhuman manner, and then began to limp, fall, disintegrate, and collapse one after another. Finally, like their village chief Markuz, they ushered in under the ashes and smoke. his own demise.

The victims disappeared one by one, and finally, among the debris all over the ground, the dying figure of a little girl immediately attracted the attention of the young hunters.

Her appearance is extremely immature, she looks less than ten years old, and her big watery eyes have completely lost the luster of life now.

And between the little girl's twisted body that gradually dissipated, there was another dead child lying down.

He was even younger, he didn't seem to be three years old, and he was hugged tightly by the little girl, as if he was a younger brother who was desperately protected by his sister before she died.

However, even such a young and innocent child eventually disappeared with other villagers, just like that, disappeared forever before the eyes of the hunters.

"..."

Witnessing this scene, Shia's eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, while Wei Meng's face turned into a shadow after a short moment of astonishment.

Yechen watched the villagers disappear before his eyes without saying a word.

After a few seconds of brief silence, he then reached out and pressed the walkie-talkie next to his ear as if nothing had happened, and asked the rest of his teammates outside in a calm tone:

"Oke, how is the situation over there?"

Oke, who was left on the outskirts of the village, immediately responded to Yechen:

"Haven't come into contact with the abyssal beast horde yet, but we can already see them rushing from a distance on the top of the mountain. There are about 3 minutes to fight."

Yechen responded calmly:

"Okay, let's meet you now."

After hearing this, Ou Ke subconsciously asked Ye Chen:

"Has your problem been solved?"

Yechen paused for three seconds, and then added:

"Yes, it has been, all resolved."

Ouke stared blankly, comprehending something instantly, then exchanged glances with Filona and Errigat beside him, and finally responded to Yechen in a calm tone:

"Okay, I know."

Yechen stopped talking, put his fingers down from the walkie-talkie, and swept his eyes over the deserted wet ground in front of him, then turned around and walked towards the exit of the warehouse where Wei Meng and Xi Ya were.

"Yechen..."

Seeing Yechen walking towards him with a calm face, Wei Meng finally raised his head which had been lowered for a long time, and then said to him with his eyes tightened:

"Although the villagers here were indeed infected by the abyss, even after you officially attacked them, they never used the so-called power of the abyss to resist you..."

"In my eyes, I can only see these innocent people struggling in despair and dying tragically. I can't find any acting elements in it..."

"However, even so, do you still feel that everything that happened before our eyes...is all a deliberate performance by the side of the abyss to confuse people?"

After hearing Wei Meng's words, Yechen asked back without changing his face:

"What do you want to say?"

Weimon hesitated for a moment, and then clarified his thoughts in a low tone.

"I mean... these villagers... don't even know that they have turned into an abyss? I mean... when you kill them, they may still retain most of their humanity... So at that moment, they may still be the original self..."

Ye Chen's pace slowed down slightly, but his expression remained unchanged, and then he responded to Wei Meng in a flat tone:

"In fact, I have also considered this point, so when I do it... I will try my best to let them go away as quickly as possible."

"After all, no matter what, these villagers infected by the abyss are hopeless."

"As long as the core of the abyss is formed in the body, we will no longer be able to bring these people back to the Holy Light Pure Land, Wei Meng, don't you understand this in your heart?"

Hearing Ye Chen's questioning in turn, Wei Meng's brows furrowed more, obviously suffering from some kind of torment in his heart.

Chapter 0595 The Most Correct Judgment

Of course Waymon knew that the core of the abyss was a symbol of irreversible tragedy.

Regardless of whether it was the past or the present, once the abyss created a core within the host, there was no turning back for any creature.

The infection of the abyss is equivalent to a terrible terminal illness that has been incurable for thousands of years. Even the Church of the Holy Light with a long history has not been able to find any antidote or method that can save the infected person...

However, even if he has known this fact for a long time, it doesn't mean that he can calmly accept what just happened in front of his eyes.

Weimon frowned and was silent for a while, then couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"I know...I know all of this...but...do we really have to kill them here...is there really no other choice?"

Ye Chen walked towards Wei Meng with a blank expression, and then replied with a serious look in his eyes:

"Yes, we have no choice."

"Even if these villagers are left here, their bodies and minds will gradually mutate into creatures of the abyss after that, and they will be enslaved by the abyss forever. In the end, they will only become enemies of the Holy Light Pure Land in the future."

"Moreover, it is precisely because we cannot save these civilians that we should let them die as human beings. This is the most correct judgment I personally think."

After Wei Meng listened, his eyes were full of blankness, and he could only repeat Ye Chen's words in a low voice.

"correct?"

Seeing the other party's gloomy expression, Yechen didn't intend to continue the conversation, but just stretched out his hand and patted Wei Meng's shoulder.
