God-level Demon Hunter

Under the carriage, several young and middle-aged men walked on foot.They are wanderers who joined the acrobatic troupe along the way, mainly doing odd jobs and doing hard work.The salary is meager, but at least I can have a full meal and see the scenery along the way.

It is also easier to protect yourself by hugging to keep warm.Among them, the wanderers who have followed the acrobatic troupe for more than two years have been there.

These are all from Aveline's narration, and Roy suddenly understood.

In this turbulent era, regardless of the north and the south, all dynasties were updated at a jaw-dropping speed.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, small-scale wars and conflicts continued, deserters hid in many remote areas and became bandits, forcing good people to leave their homes.

With no land and no fixed place to live, piles of homeless people came into being.These people in front of them will continue to live with the acrobatic troupe until they meet the ideal place in their hearts, and then leave the team.But most of their lives will be bumpy and homeless.

He suddenly felt that Emhyr's idea of ​​conquering the north and establishing a unified empire was not without merit.

"By the way, Evelyn, why did you leave the edge of the world..."

"Brothers of the same clan, I won't hide it from you." There was a trace of sadness in Aveline's eyes, her red lips parted slightly,

"The brothers and sisters of Dole Bretanna had been settled under the leadership of Ms. Field for a few years, and had a good life for a while. But Ms. Daisy of the Valley came and led the tribe back to the original way. I feel that they are A horrible conspiracy is brewing, and I don't want to get my hands bloody again."

Roy remembered the origins of the two ladies.

"Field Lady" and "Valley Daisy" are two completely different factions of the Ain Xidi tribe in Baihuagu. Human beings live in peace.She was born with a powerful magical talent, and everything grew wherever she went, bringing greenery and vitality.

"Valley Daisy" should be called the main combat faction. She is the future elf freedom queen of Baihua Valley and the head of the Scoia'tael party.For the atrocities of human beings, he was unceremonious and retaliated, and for the sake of the overall situation of the elves, he abandoned the brothers and sisters of the Scoia'tael!But that's for later.

"Cantila, why did you travel thousands of miles to join Sea Scorpion?"

The sword girl looked at the unknown distance with exotic eyebrows, "The people of Zerikhan are all born warriors. But I want to prove that I am the best of them!"

The corners of her lips are slightly curved, and the hard face lines reflect a mysterious brilliance in the sun.Her slender index finger pointed to the tattoo near her cheekbones, "It's fair to get an honor tattoo for defeating a fierce beast! These two honor tattoos were earned by killing desert spiders and venom lizards alone." .But I don’t want to wait until I’m gray-haired and I can’t hold a weapon securely before I can paint my whole body with honor from head to toe!”

"I must take a risk and leave my homeland to find Zerikhan's faith!"

"Uh... If I understand correctly, you want to find a dragon?" Roy remembered that the totem of the desert country Zerikan was a dragon, and the kingdom even built a dragon temple.

"Ok!"

Roy looked at the confident girl in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

Real dragons, no matter white dragons, black dragons, red dragons, green dragons, or rock dragons, can easily crush skin-winged scissor-tailed dragons, bird dragons, and dragon lizards, and of course they can also beat lonely demon hunters .

They are unparalleled in hand-to-hand combat. In addition to fangs and claws, they can also breathe dragon flames, strong acid, or high-temperature steam. There is also the most powerful golden dragon that is said to have mastered magical abilities such as transfiguration.

"Your ideals are very lofty!" Roy said insincerely.

The girl raised her chin proudly, "I know you are laughing at me in your heart, laughing at my overreach. But I have no intention of conquering that great existence by force. Believe it or not, the Zerikan and the dragon I am born with a spiritual connection, and I will impress them with my piety and Taoism!"

"Well, I wish you success!"

"Then Aaron, why did Aaron form the Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe because of his lofty ambition?"

"No..." Aveline's eyes carried a trace of a girl's yearning and longing for romance. "Boss Aaron started to travel around the world in order to find his other half, to find his true love. According to him, only by finding his other half and finding a new mother for his two babies, Ali and Ade, can he recover from the boundless Get out of the pain!"

"Uh... Is Boss Aaron a poet?" If Roy remembers correctly, Ali and Ade are an owl and a kestrel respectively. "It's a strange and romantic way of saying it."

He subconsciously thought it was a joke of the elf lady.

Evelyn glanced at him, and continued without waiting for him to ask, "Colinsty and Froz really love each other, but unfortunately they are not nobles. Their love cannot be called a disgusting 'elegant affair', so naturally there is no blessing , replaced by endless white eyes and discrimination. Only in Sea Scorpion can they be aboveboard and get along like a couple!"

Yes, aristocratic messy relationships are often romanticized, but when it comes to commoners, it's a capital offense.

"Roy, what do you think of them?" Lady Elf's bright eyes suddenly cast over.

The boy's heart skipped a beat, "Um...well...I wish them well!"

Not insulting, not advocating, this is his true attitude towards homosexuality.

"As for Amos..."

"Hmph!" Cantila said disdainfully with fierce eyes, "Not a good thing!"

Roy wiped his chin, "Master Gwent...he played the Gwent card well, right? Are there any rare cards? I think we can communicate with him!"

Chapter 5 Corpse

In the afternoon, while everyone was eating and resting, the demon hunter called Roy, and the two found an excuse to temporarily leave the convoy and sneak into the bushes beside the road.

"Have you heard..."

Roy nodded.

The convoy carrying a large amount of goods had left Shire Village for less than half a day, and hadn't gone far, but there was an unusual smell of blood wafting from the side of the road.

"It doesn't belong to humans, it smells like insect biopheromones."

Lei Suo turned on the witcher's senses, looking for the scent particles and walked across a few crooked-neck trees for about 5 minutes. After uncovering a clover bush, he suddenly stopped.

"Hiss—" Looking at the scene in front of him, Roy couldn't help but gasped—surrounded by waist-deep bushes, a dozen corpses were piled up into a hill, and the faint stench and bloody smell radiated all around Non-stop spilling.

From a distance, they are all gray-brown, like spider-like arthropods magnified hundreds of times.

The temperature in winter is not high, and the corpse looks particularly fresh.

Roy and Lei Suo did not approach in a hurry, but picked up their weapons, kept vigilant and slowly moved over. Then Lei Suo used an Alder seal to blow the hill-like body upside down, confirming the monster in front of him All lost their attack power.

"How could there be so many monster corpses in the wilderness? They were gathered together. This doesn't seem like the behavior of monsters or wild beasts without wisdom."

Under Lesso's signal, Roy squatted down and began to examine a nearby corpse.

The corpse was almost as high as a human knee.

"The spindle-shaped body is covered with downy hair... and there are four pieces of chitin carapace... There is no obvious dividing line between the chest and abdomen... There are four jointed limbs growing on both sides... The head is small, and the facial features are almost invisible. ..."

"Public Andereg?" The witcher tentatively said next to him,

Roy shook his head, "You want to mislead me? This guy doesn't have the iconic scorpion tail and pincers, he's clearly Qi Qimo..."

Both Andraeg and Chikimo are insect-like creatures produced after the convergence of the celestial spheres. They usually live in groups in the wild and will attack other beasts and even passing humans.

It is also quite dangerous for witchers.

As he spoke, Roy turned the small bucket in front of him over again.Different from the back covered with thick gray soft armor, Qi Qimo's belly under the body is soft and pale yellow, which looks extremely fragile.

"The fatal wound...in the abdomen, half of the body was torn apart by sharp weapons or...claws." The smelly, green organs flowed all over the floor, and the four worm feet were covered with mud.

"It is almost conceivable that it struggled violently before death."

Roy reached out to touch the edge of the wound on Qi Qimo's stomach without hesitation, his eyes showed a trace of solemnity.

He changed to another body, and he continued to check.

"The hard carapace on the back is covered with claw marks, and there are multiple sprains on the body... It can be judged that the strength of the murderer is extremely amazing... It was almost torn in half."

"Several head-sized holes were opened in the abdomen. The shape of the wound is similar to the bite mark of some kind of beast. The center of the bite mark is relatively flat, but there are jagged tear wounds on the edge... It should be caused by canine teeth."

"Eh? There's still one that hasn't died completely, and the vitality of insects is really tenacious."

"puff--"

"Kill Qiqimo, experience +30."

"That's right, there are only two magic creatures missing."

Roy withdrew the green blood-stained arrow from the monster's petite brain, tore off a handful of weeds covered in light dew, and wiped his hands clean.

"Have you come to a conclusion?" The demon hunter looked investigating.

"A total of thirteen corpses, which is almost the standard number of a Qiqimo group. In other words, the murderer directly wiped out a whole family of Qiqimo." Roy frowned, his face was full of fear, "It has Dagger-sharp claws, four deadly canines..."

"Is it possible that it is a leopard, a wild dog, or a little mist demon?" The demon hunter asked while investigating,

"Leopards and wild dogs don't have that much strength, so they can tear Qiqimo apart so cleanly, and the characteristics of the little mist demon's teeth don't match. In addition——"

Roy glanced across the flat ground piled with corpses and green blood,

"Intuition tells me that there is only one murderer! This open space is obviously not the first scene. It is full of weeds and there are almost no suspicious footprints."

The demon hunter didn't ask him about the murderer's situation. "According to what you said, you can kill a Qiqimo group alone. The combat power is definitely not inferior to the demon hunter in its heyday... Do you want to continue?"

Roy wondered, "I'm afraid we can't help it. The slow-moving convoy may be attacked by this monster at any time, and we will also suffer. The investigation must continue, at least find out what that thing is, and take care of it." defense."

After speaking, Roy knelt down on one knee and folded his index and middle fingers together to pick up a handful of weeds covered in suspicious blood.Not the green of a chizimo, but the bright red blood of a mammal.

"I have to go back and say hello to Aaron, so that they don't have to wait too long. I'd better leave the tracking of the blood to a professional witcher."

……

After separating from Roy, the witcher dragged his injured leg, limped with a cane and walked the way he came here for about 5 minutes, arriving at the source of the smelly blood.

On a piece of sand surrounded by a few bare tung trees, there are messy footprints and pits of different depths everywhere.

Among Qi Qimo's round hole-shaped and disorderly footprints, several huge footprints with three toes are extremely eye-catching.

There are also some unique shapes in the middle of the sand - fist-sized balls, tightly packed into a pile like frog eggs, and the whole body is green mixed with some black and red blood vessel-like scratches.

But now, they were brutally torn apart, and piles of viscous amniotic fluid flowed out, as well as shapeless kijimo larvae.

"Tsk tsk, kill them all and leave no future trouble." Lei Suo stroked a crooked tung tree nearby, on the bark of the tung tree, it is unknown whether the murderer intended or not, leaving a neat row And eye-catching claw marks.

Lesso's eyes lit up.

……

When the demon hunter returned to the convoy, everyone in Sea Scorpion was getting impatient, and Aaron even came over to negotiate.

"Master, please don't delay for such a long time next time when you go out for a briefing. After all, everyone is waiting. There is one more thing. I don't need to say more about the two of you who have rich experience in wild survival, but I think it is necessary. Just a reminder, that’s all during the day, don’t leave the camp at night.”

After receiving repeated assurances from the two, Aaron left with peace of mind.

"How is it, how is the harvest?"

"After you left, I went back to the morgue to check again, and found some interesting things." The demon hunter stared into the distance, which was the direction to return to Shire Village.

"Qiqimo's lair is not far from Shire Village, and there are signs of frequent activities between the two places."

Roy pondered, "What do you mean?"

"Those dead Qiqimo still have undigested poultry bones in their stomachs. In addition, I found a piece of human torn clothing."

The boy's expression changed, "According to this, the previous village chief's guess was wrong! It's not some leprechauns and the like that harassed Shire Village, but these Qiqimo."

Then he was full of doubts, "The murderer killed this group of Qiqimo, but killed the people for the people? This is too unreasonable."

Chapter 6 Please close your eyes when it gets dark (1)

On the driving carriage, Roy and the witcher were talking in low voices.

"Kill Qi Qimo who attacked the villagers. Could it be that the murderer is protecting the villagers of Shire Village?"

Roy himself couldn't believe this guess. According to his judgment, the murderer should be some kind of powerful monster, and almost none of them would actively help humans.

"After you check, can you confirm the real identity of the murderer?"

"I'm [-]% sure. Except for the lack of urine declaring territorial rights at the scene, the other traces are consistent." The demon hunter's face was also uncertain, "But it's hard to say anything until I officially see that thing."

"How to explain its behavior? Is it protecting the villagers?" Roy asked curiously.

The demon hunter said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. It may have just migrated nearby—because of its extremely strong sense of territory, it will kill this group of Qiqimo. Once the sea scorpion convoy moves a little further away, it will be out of its hunting range." , naturally you won’t be attacked.” The demon hunter comforted himself, “Don’t worry too much, don’t disclose it to the Sea Scorpion for now.”

The two were whispering on one side, and on the other side behind the carriage, several members of Sea Scorpion were also paying close attention to them.

"Bell, you have had a good chat with them during this time, and you should know something about these two people."

Aaron folded his arms around his chest, with deep questioning in his thick eyebrows and eyes,

"Although the Viper School is rarely heard of in the north, and they are not some crazy guys, but I always feel that they have other plans?"

Evelyn bit her red lips, "I'm sure that my fellow Roy has no malice, he is trustworthy, but—" her tone changed, "I can't understand Master Lei Suo. Reticent and calm, his cold eyes make people numb, and he seems to be observing something all the time. However, the injuries on his body don't seem to be disguised."

"It is said that demon hunters have emotional defects compared with ordinary people, so it seems that it is not completely fabricated."

Collins on the other side patted his well-developed chest muscles covered with black hair, "Don't worry, boss, I will keep an eye on these two guys. A lame demon hunter with a little fart with no hair at all They are so shabby that they don’t even have a decent weapon, forgive them and they can’t make any waves.”

"Pay attention to your attitude." Aaron reminded, "In any case, they are the guests of the sea scorpion, try not to offend them, maybe we still have things to rely on in the future."

He turned his face to the woman, "The task of supervision is mainly for Belle. It is best to stabilize them and keep them in our field of vision. Didn't you mention that your clan's card skills against Amos Very interested? Then let him get his wish, call Amos over to accompany them to 'seriously communicate', and earn some extra money for Sea Scorpion."

"As for that 'big chest and no brain' guy, Collins, watch them tonight and don't let them run around in the camp!"

"Follow the boss!"

After explaining, Ms. Elf changed to a carriage and returned to Roy's side.

And Aaron sat on the edge of the carriage, put the curled little finger of his right hand into his mouth, and blew a sharp whistle. In an instant, Ade, the kestrel, turned into a black lightning and rushed out of the carriage, flapping his wings and landing on him. on the arm.
