He still remembered that when he was half-conscious and half-awake, the old couple took turns by his side, feeding him boiled food from time to time, and they probably didn't close their eyes much these two days.

But he can't help it... It is obvious that the Northern War has not yet come, but a terrifying monster in the cemetery suddenly appeared, posing a deadly threat.

This bad world.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, unknown threats will not give him time to grow slowly, he must actively seek growth.

He never wanted to experience the deep sense of powerlessness yesterday.

"Father, how does the village decide?"

"The day before yesterday, the village head went to the city in a carriage to find the lord for help..." Old Moore's tone was full of uncertainty, and the three present all knew from the bottom of their hearts that the lord of Lower Posada was not a good person. The last few people couldn't be more normal.The soldiers of the lord lord are the most active only when collecting taxes, and they are guaranteed to run faster than anyone else when dealing with monsters.In Kaye Village, at most, someone would come and ask a few words.

"The people who went with him posted a notice on the bulletin board in the city, waiting for the witcher to accept the commission. It will take a month or two, there will always be news...don't worry about it."

Roy sighed, still feeling uneasy.

After lying on the bed for two days, his whole body was rusty. He wanted to go out for a walk and go to the tavern to see old Jack.But under the strong request of the old couple, they lay down until noon before they were able to escape.

There was a strange atmosphere in the village.A few sporadic people came and went in a hurry on the street, their brows were full of worry and fear, the people who used to greet on the side of the road were all gone, and the farmland outside the village was gone.

Most of the villagers hid in their homes, looking nervously at the situation outside through the windows. No one knew whether the monsters in the cemetery would come to the village to take people away, so they had to stop all daily activities.

Occasionally, the sound of crying children and quarrels between men and women can be heard in the house, adding to the ominous feeling.

The bulletin board in the center of the village that had been covered with cobwebs and had been idle for a long time was cleaned up, and a commission was hung up again.It's a pity that Roy can't recognize a few common characters.

When we arrived at the tavern, Jack was sitting alone in front of the wine cabinet, lost in thought.

The wound on the old man's waist was replaced with a white bandage, his body smelled of herbs, his face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a bad state of mind.He lost his friend who had followed him for decades in one night, and he became much older, his beard and hair were dyed a dazzling white, and his one-eyed eyes lost their former brilliance.

"You're here, boy, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's all over." Roy sat beside him and fell silent. He didn't know what to say, he was just a deserter that night.

"Come and have a drink with me," Old Jack poured two glasses of wine with a look of pain on his face. It was not sour and sweet fruit wine, and the smell of alcohol was quite pungent. I beat Gwent with dwarven spirits..."

"To Pusig!" Roy's heart trembled, and he suddenly picked up the wine glass and downed it in one gulp. The strong and scorching spirit ignited a fire in his chest, making him make a decision.

"One more drink, to Fletcher..." Roy took a deep breath and paused, "and the little slug."

When he was flushed from drinking as if venting, old Jack stopped him.We talked about the situation of the past few days.

The village sent people to the barracks in Lower Posada City to ask for help, but they were rejected without incident. Just as Roy thought before, if there were not large-scale monster riots and bandit invasions, the army would not be dispatched at all.

Another thing that the old Moore couple didn't tell Roy was that four people died in Kaye.

In addition to the butcher Fletcher and his son, and the blacksmith Pusig, another villager has disappeared in the past two days. This stunned young man may not want to live anymore. He ran to the cemetery alone in the evening, but he never returned.

Ordinary people will only be tortured and killed if they encounter that thing.

After hearing this, Roy hesitated to speak, but seeing old Jack's poor state, he swallowed his words and left the tavern.

In fact, as a player who was addicted to the game, he knew all kinds of monsters brought by the celestial rendezvous.Looking back now, he was [-]% sure that the monster occupying the cemetery was a bloodthirsty creature called a grave witch.It likes to use its long tongue like a hidden weapon to knock the bones and suck the marrow from the corpses. If the corpses are eaten up, some particularly vicious individuals will go hunting in human gathering places, and bury the captured living people in the ground to wait for them to rot before enjoying them.

More importantly, he also knew the weakness of this thing.

Crypt Witches usually make their home close to a cemetery, like this one directly occupying the house of Gravekeeper Gongor.But they have a big weakness - they are afraid of sunlight, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced during the day.

But even if he told the villagers, would anyone believe him?How should he explain the source of the news?

If you can't gather more than a dozen people, even if you face the weakened version of the Tomb Witch, it still won't play a big role.

……

The blacksmith and the butcher died, and there were no relatives in the village who inherited the property, except Susie's distant relative who was three generations away.

The property they left behind is temporarily managed by the village chief. Once the death is confirmed, Roy believes that part of it will probably be corrupted, part will be dedicated to the lord of Lower Posada by soldiers, and the last part will be kept as a reward for hiring demon hunters. , a hundred crowns?

The money and valuables of the two families were taken away by the village chief, but there were other things in their house.

Roy sneaked into the blacksmith's house and carried out a big sweep. More than 50 crossbow bolts, a half-new steel sword, torches, grease, and a few strong hemp ropes were all hidden in the storage space.

In the butcher's house, dozens of pounds of raw meat were taken away. In the storage space, everything was in a static state, and food, raw meat and other things would never deteriorate.

He also found a fist-sized bag of yellow medicinal powder from the closet as he wished. Fletcher usually used the medicinal powder to anesthetize animals. A fingernail-sized amount mixed with water could incapacitate a [-]-pound animal in a few minutes.

This powder is also the core of his plan.

Storage space is packed to the brim.

In the end, Roy took away the short knife that had been used by the butcher for more than ten years and killed countless animals.

The forearm of the whole knife is long and short, in the shape of a boat, the blade is sharp and white, the blade and the back of the knife are dark brown, dyed by the accumulated animal blood for many years.No matter how you wash it, there is a lingering blood.

"Uncle Fletcher, little slug, uncle blacksmith, if given the chance," Roy swore in his heart, "I will use this knife to avenge you, and cut off that bastard's head!"

The battle with the wolves and the tomb witch has changed his thinking. He has a deeper understanding that the place he is in is no longer the peaceful world before. If he wants to gain peace by hiding and escaping, he can only get the opposite result. .

Having lost his stable source of experience as a butcher apprentice, Roy decided to change to a faster way and take some risks.

……

The cemetery is located to the east of Kaye Village, and the four dead villagers are enough to feed the tomb witch inside for a while. It is unlikely that it will leave the cemetery to hunt during this period.

However, to be on the safe side, Roy set his next plan in the woods less than a mile away from the cemetery to the west of Kaye Village.

During the day, he went to the woods to step on it, inspect the environment, find a suitable big tree, and make sufficient preparations.

At night, while the old Moore and his wife were asleep, they tiptoed out and waited for the patrolling night watchman to go around to the other side of the village, then sneaked out of the village and approached the big tree that was inspected during the day.

Then he tied a few pieces of raw meat smeared with anesthetic powder prepared in advance under the tree, and he deliberately made the meat dripping with blood and smelling stinky, so as to better attract the target.

After finishing all this, Roy quickly climbed up the tree, lit the torch tied to the branch, took out Gabriel, loaded the arrow, closed his eyes for a nap, and waited quietly...

During the whole process, Roy kept taking deep breaths, not only afraid of attracting terrifying things, but also worried that it was a useless effort, and no beast would take the bait.

But the bow did not turn back.

The bright moonlight shines through the gaps in the forest, outlining a mottled brilliance on a young and resolute face.

Roy pursed his lips, breathed slowly and remained motionless, and waited in fear for about an hour. When a dog barked in the distance, he knew he had succeeded.

Five or six hungry wild dogs with red eyes came out of the bushes and frantically snatched a few pieces of raw meat tied to the hemp rope. Because of snatching food, they bit each other.When the meat was completely eaten, they showed their teeth full of minced meat and blood at the people in the tree unsatisfied, and barked wildly.

Roy's eyelids twitched. He suspected that the group of gray-haired beasts had rabies, but he was not afraid.

"Dog, come up and bite me if you have the ability!" Sitting on a tree, he shouted condescendingly at the wild dog, while pulling the trigger, shooting the target under the tree... He also smeared the crossbow with potion, trying his best Nothing goes wrong.

Such shooting conditions were not much different from the previous four-person protection situation, and Roy had an absolute geographical advantage.After an actual battle, his mentality became more mature, his hand holding the crossbow was more stable, and his aim was better. Three arrows sent away two arrogant wild dogs.

When the remaining wild dogs sensed something was wrong and wanted to run away, the anesthetic in their bodies started to take effect, and they fell limply to the ground within a few dozen minutes of running.

Roy didn't go down to harvest rashly. He sat straddling the tree and shot arrow after arrow slowly, until three prompts for gaining experience appeared in the template, confirming that all the wild dogs that fainted were shot to death.

Level 1 (123/500)

"A total of 50 experience points. Both wild dogs and wolves have 10 experience points, which is much faster than being a butcher apprentice. You only need to do this eight times to level up." Roy looked at the wild dog corpse full of arrows, thinking heavy.

The risk is directly proportional to the benefit, and his dangerous actions were not in vain.

Continue to rest on the tree for a while to confirm that there is no danger around. Roy went down to retrieve the arrows and tools, dragged the corpse of the wild dog to the hard mud next to it, piled it up and poured grease on it, and turned back to the village.

……

The operation went smoothly, and the whole process was safe and sound. Roy still had time to wipe his body with cold water to wash away the slight smell of blood.

For the next period of time, he went out to hunt almost every night, and at the beginning, he could harvest once every three nights at most.

The baited animals were of all kinds, including wild dogs, wolves, foxes, and wild boars... There was even a huge grizzly bear that came and rushed back to the woods with the meat on the hemp rope. Roy didn't dare to catch up.

None of these animals had more than 10 experience points.When the raw meat in the space is used up, he cuts the meat from the prey.As an apprentice butcher, he is quite skilled in operation.

But it's a pity that even though he would change places every time he set a trap, he even went to the woods in the north and south of the village, and after half a month, the frequency of prey taking the bait decreased uncontrollably.

It only happens once every five days, so the animals in the woods are obviously on guard.

The speed of gaining experience declined again, until one night a month later, when the last wild dog was shot and killed, Roy finally accumulated full experience.

Chapter 11 The Witcher

This morning, Roy woke up from the straw mat.

After a lapse of one month, he saw the "+" after his personal level again: level 1 (503/500), close to 500 experience, which is the result of his recent fierce battles, and a pair of dark circles are also included. Although it failed to brush out the long-range weapon skills.

But he was very satisfied.

In addition, his three weaker attributes have also been improved, although the improvement rate is not as good as last month: Strength 4.2→4.3, Constitution 4.1→4.2, Will 4.5→4.6.

The four attributes of agility, charisma, spirit, and perception are standing still.This made him realize that if the attribute exceeds 5, if there is no targeted training or other factors, it will not be able to grow naturally.

The slaughter level in the skill is still at Lv2. Obviously, the more than 40 animals he killed this month are not enough to upgrade it.

……

Roy poured his thoughts into the experience bar, and the text in the template jumped instantly and became——

Personal Level: Level 2 (3/1000)

You gain 1 attribute point and 1 skill point.

The attribute points are the same as before plus perception, and after the wonderful feeling that everything is under control, perception has changed from 6→7 to become the highest attribute, and there are more reminders in the template.

You have unlocked a new skill.

Unnamed Lv1: Your perception is far beyond that of ordinary people, and you have evolved a new sense. You can obtain the basic information of the target through a special observation method.The higher the target awareness, the stronger the suppression on you, and the more limited the information you can get. Lv1 grants you a 1-point Wisdom bonus on observations.

Roy was stunned for a moment. If the attributes increase to a certain level, will they automatically acquire skills?This was something he had never thought of, and it was a surprise.

The new skill is of great strategic significance. If you can observe the basic attributes and abilities of hostile creatures in advance without making a fuss, wouldn't it be the first step to do a good job of targeting and formulate a combat plan.After all, the higher the perception, the farther he can see, and the more hidden his position is.

He became excited, and such a scene couldn't help appearing in his mind - he hid thousands of feet away and quietly observed the enemy's weakness in the distance, while pulling out a long-range weapon from space.

Tsk tsk... With a thought in Roy's mind, the name of the skill changed to "Observation".

The skill points are useless for the time being. He plans to find an experiment subject to experience the effect of the new skill before deciding whether to add it to the slaughter Lv2 or the "observation" Lv1.

The Night's Watch and Old Jack are good targets.

Roy greeted the old Moore couple and rushed out the door excitedly.

After walking a few steps, he was surprised to find that there were uncharacteristically many people on the street today.Dozens of men, women and children gathered at the bulletin board in the center of the village, making a lot of noise.

The shadow of horror left by the tomb witch was swept away.

Roy's heart moved, and he leaned forward.

"The demon hunter is here, Kaye Village has been saved!"

Among the chaotic crowd, there are three dusty figures. Their distinctive appearance and clothing characteristics are impressive.

The man standing on the left side of the bulletin board has a red hairband wrapped around his forehead, with a cold face and sharp features; the man on the right side has half of his face covered under a gray hood, with deep nasolabial folds on his cheeks. There is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.The facial features are vaguely similar to the man with the hair tie, and the two probably have some blood relationship.They are all about 6 feet (1 meters) tall.

The last one had a bald head and shiny tiles, a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes, with a rigid and serious expression.He has a hunchbacked figure, huge muscle blocks that are as clear as rocks, and a height of over 6-4 inches (1 meters). Just standing with his arms around his chest gives people a strong sense of oppression, which makes people feel uncomfortable. asphyxia.

The three of them were all wearing black leather armor, with mottled scratches and faint dried blood all over them.

There is a fist-sized leather bag buckled around his waist, small glass bottles can be seen on the medicine belt around his shoulders, a pair of short swords are crossed on his chest, and several finger-length throwing knives are pinned to the leather armor on his thighs .

Everyone has a strangely shaped necklace hanging on their chest - a poisonous snake with its body coiled up, forming complex and mysterious patterns.

The sword on his back - under the unpretentious black scabbard, the blade is nearly 4 feet 4 inches (1.3 meters).

The most peculiar thing is that the color of the pupils of the three is similar to the amber color of cats, which is strange and frightening.

Roy stared at the giant bald man in the lead, always feeling that the other party seemed to be similar, and his eyes instantly became dark and deep.

A translucent information sheet appeared on top of the bald man miraculously.
