God-level Demon Hunter

Only then did the woman follow the village head Boyev into the most "luxurious" building with satisfaction. The two witchers who followed her were slightly surprised that the princess's current behavior was not as willful and arrogant as the rumors said. .

"The humble house is simple, Your Highness, please forgive me. It takes a day of horse riding from Vizima, and you must be very hungry. If you don't mind, my old lady is still cooking..."

"No need..." Yada sat comfortably on the rattan chair, leaning on the side of the chair carelessly, her two slender jade legs folded together, a trace of tiredness appeared on her beautiful face, "I've already used it." Dry food. If there is nothing urgent, you can go down first."

"Then these two adults?" The village head carefully glanced at the tall Lei Suo,

"These two are professional monster killers, Demon Hunters of the Viper School, Reso and Roy." Adda glanced at the two with her distinctive eyebrows.

"They just came to Vizima, and they don't know much about the surrounding situation. Poev, you can introduce them to them."

Seeing that Adda was exhausted, the village head led the witcher out of the room.

"My lords, how much do you know about the fallen murlocs?"

The two witchers looked at each other,

To be honest, Roy knew most of the monsters in the demon hunter world, but he only knew a little about the fallen murloc species.

And Lei Suo thought for a while and said, "The murlocs are amphibious species. They live near waters and feed on algae and fish in the water. They also have the weakness of most amphibious species. They are afraid of flames and strong light. Vizima Since the names of the half-murlocs in the lake area have the prefix "degenerate", they must be different from ordinary half-murlocs?"

Poev's chrysanthemum-wrinkled cheeks sank.

"As you said, the depraved half-murlocs are even more ferocious. Since the day they appeared, they have started attacking fishing boats in the lake... Everyone is afraid of being attacked, so they dare not go deep into Lake Vizima to fish, and the fish will be less More than half of it, life is tight..."

Poev paused, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes,

"Occasionally, corrupt half-murlocs will rush to the shores of Lake Vizima to hunt nearby small animals, and then use the flesh and blood of small animals to..."

Deep fear emerges from his cloudy pupils, "Sacrifice."

"Many years ago, Noel, a fisherman who accidentally landed on the island, saw a hearth-like building in the center of Black Tern Island, more precisely, an altar. The fallen murlocs used the flesh and blood of other creatures to make offerings to the altar. Horror creature sacrifice..."

"That fisherman is dead, can you come and talk to him?"

Boyev sighed, "Then Noel disappeared inexplicably."

"disappeared?"

Roy couldn't help but be disappointed. If he knew the characteristics of the altar from his mouth, he might be able to deduce what the fallen murloc enshrined.

"You know what they're offering sacrifices to?"

"That's not clear." Poev said blankly, "The deity of the murloc?"

How can a half fishman have a god?

Roy turned to ask, "As far as you know, how many fallen murlocs are there in the lake?"

The village chief shook his head, "I don't know the exact number, but it must have exceeded two hundred."

Roy thought for a while, a fully armed knight and soldier was enough to deal with two fallen murlocs at the same time, and Yada brought about forty men.

"Then the strength of the Knights this time is quite weak..."

Even with the addition of two witchers.

Now Roy could only hope that the plan he had prepared would work.

"According to your description, since there are fallen murlocs, there should also be normal murlocs?"

Boyev nodded, with a flash of memory flashing across his face, "More than ten years ago, the murlocs in Lake Vizima hadn't enshrined that evil altar. The half murlocs were still docile by nature, and lived peacefully with the residents of the lake area. I feel sorry for the fishermen. The old woman in Kona Village who passed away the year before last was rescued ashore by a murloc because she fell into the water."

"The relationship between humans and animals at that time was extremely harmonious... But now, the fallen half-murlocs are flooding, and the living space of normal half-murlocs has been greatly reduced. Their current situation is as precarious as the black fish in the lake."

"The two half-murlocs are opposite, so is there any way to get in touch with normal half-murlocs?"

Roy thought, this is a reinforcement that cannot be ignored.

Boyev's eyes lit up strangely, "Even Princess Adda didn't think of this. The old man heard that normal murlocs can still be seen on the eastern coast of the lake."

"They don't have the bloody and evil aura of the fallen, and there are no large black tattoos on the surface of their skin, and they won't actively attack humans, so they're easy to identify."

"But even if normal species are found, ordinary people cannot communicate with them."

"Boy, you're not a druid, this method won't work." Lei Suo said.

"Hehe." Roy smiled and said nothing.

"Princess Yada brought a large number of troops this time, preparing to attack the lair of the fallen murlocs and destroy the altar on Black Tern Island. As the village head of Kona, do you think this method is feasible? The princess is not here, you Just tell the truth!"

Poev looked slightly hesitant,

"My lords, forgive me. Although the knights are highly skilled and skilled in martial arts, Black Tern Island is after all the base camp of the fallen murlocs..."

"You're such a large group of people going to Black Tern Island by boat, they will be alarmed. There is no doubt that they will attack the boat on the way. This will cause some losses first, and the rest will have to suffer both front and back when they arrive on the island. I'm afraid it's not easy to pinch."

Roy glanced at the old man in surprise. He didn't expect the head of the small swamp village to have such insight.

He observed the other party again and confirmed that it was an ordinary person.

"I also have this concern, but Princess Adda is determined not to listen to advice at all. We can only make full preparations and the rest depends on God's will!"

"Oh..." The village head sighed. "I hope His Royal Highness Yada's trip will go well, and that group of evildoers will be eradicated thoroughly, so that the village can resume normal fishing as soon as possible."

"Do your best."

Roy looked at the dark bags under his eyes, and couldn't help asking,

"Why do I feel that the villagers in Kona Village are not in a good state of mind."

Boyev's throat twitched, and facing the bright eyes of the two, he pinched the gray beard on his chin vigorously, "This is another matter. In the past year or so, the villagers of Kona have often done The same nightmare. The sleep condition was greatly affected. We all went to the herbal doctor for physical examination, but we couldn’t see any symptoms, and some people specially investigated the food and drinking water, and there was no problem.”

"Two masters, do you think the village has been entangled by some dirty thing?"

"I can't be sure now, I have to check to find out."

The demon hunter shook his head, his dark golden eyes revealed doubts.

Could it be that other than the fallen murlocs, there are other monsters raging in the swamp?

"Then you two need to worry about it." Poev continued, "Kona Village is okay, but the other village..."

"What's wrong?" Roy asked,

Boyev looked to the northwest out of the window with cloudy eyes, "That Xinte village that stands on the shore of the lake and makes a living by dredging mud and making bricks... some of the villagers were attacked and killed by crazy depraved murlocs, and the rest Unwilling to move out, the mental state has become extremely bad."

"Nightmare again and again, the frequency far exceeds that of Kona Village."

"The old man went to see it half a month ago. I found that among the [-] or so villagers in Xinte Village, some of them were in a daze and couldn't concentrate all day long. The gibberish speaks some languages ​​that others cannot understand, like reciting strange spells."

"Normal villagers have less than one-third."

The two witchers were suddenly silent for a while.

"What kind of dream did you have, can you describe your dream in detail?"

Boyev frowned when he heard this, and recalled it for a long time, "I'm sorry... I just remember a vague shadow appeared in my dream, and I couldn't see what it was... It kept saying something obscure and strange to my ears. The clumsy words are definitely not a common language, nor are they like ancient languages...Anyway, the old man can't understand a single word, but he often suffers from insomnia because of it. The villagers are also in the same situation."

"Besides nightmares and babbling, are there any other symptoms?"

"I haven't seen any other symptoms," Boyev asked worriedly, pinching his beard, "will it continue to worsen?"

"Don't worry, it's just a guess...we'll talk about it when we get back from Black Tern Island."

"Well, the old man represents Kona Village, and I wish all the adults and His Highnesses a triumphant return!"

When Boyev left worriedly, the two witchers began to exchange their thoughts,

"Invading the dream of the swamp dwellers, whispering strangely in the dream?" Roy's face was solemn, "Is this Sim's ability, or the little earth spirit?"

"Neither the devil nor the earth spirit has such a great ability, and they can't affect hundreds of people at once." Lei Suo pondered, "But it must not be a coincidence... There are problems with food and drinking water? They also ruled it out."

"Could it be that the altar... the thing enshrined by the fallen murloc is doing something wrong?"

"It's possible..." Lei Suo nodded and said, "The altar enshrines a powerful alien, such as a special half murloc, just like the ancient species among the deer head spirits, with some extraordinary abilities, such as manipulating dream."

"No matter what, there will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow. Now check all the alchemy bombs, potions, and everything in your interspatial bag, and be fully prepared..."

Chapter 10 All in One

The next day was only four o'clock in the morning, the stars and the moon were dim, the sky was dark, and Kona Village was already brightly lit.

Having had two crusades, the team led by Yada has almost figured out the schedule of the fallen murlocs.

They sleep from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am.Four o'clock is the time when they sleep the deepest and their defenses are weakest.

Under Yada's command, the knights quickly checked their luggage. In addition to weapons and equipment, each team also brought a dark wooden barrel that gave off a strange smell.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the villagers, the horses carried dozens of knights and soldiers to the north, walked about two miles, and came to the end of the swamp.

"Your Highness, no trace of the murloc was found."

Yada nodded to the scouts, waved her hand, and the crowd rushed towards the lake behind her.

In the cold wind in the early morning, the water vapor permeates hazyly. Standing on the shore of the lake and looking far away, one can vaguely see a faint black shadow, and behind the black shadow, the neon lights of Vizima city on the opposite bank.

And one after another of the wooden boats, like hungry animals in the night, lurking in the reeds on the shore, there are about a dozen of them.

The knights were divided into four people, one person took care of the barrel and watched the movement of the lake, and the two slid their oars, quietly sailing towards the dark island in the center of the lake.

There is a distance of about [-] l between each boat. From a distance, it looks like a huge fishing net is cast from the shore of the lake towards the island in the middle of the lake.

At this time, there is wind and the lake water is swaying, and the continuous sound of paddles splashing water is buried by the undulating waves.

Actions are more subtle.

Princess Adda's ship was in the middle of the fleet, and she was standing at the bow with a whip in her hand, looking at the island in the distance with hard eyes.

The sharp red lips were pursed into a line.

For today, she has been preparing for a month.

She also endured for a month.

Half murlocs and depraved half murlocs, although they were just humanoid creatures with low intelligence, their blood still tasted far better than those lowly livestock and poultry, enough to satisfy her desire.

Even after five years, she regained her human sanity, and her hair gradually changed from red to white.But still some things haven't changed, she still retains a primitive eating addiction - bloodlust.

To her, human blood is a rarer brew than the finest wine.

But she didn't want to be called a monster by her own people anymore, so she settled for the next best thing. Animals became her target, followed by the murlocs.

But this is not the main reason for attacking the fallen murlocs.

In the five years since her recovery, under the doting of the guilty Foltest, she has learned another kind of enjoyment higher than bloodthirsty—power.

She enjoys the sense of accomplishment of a group of soldiers charging into battle and conquering land under her command.

She enjoys the attention of thousands of people, and the appearance of countless people bowing their knees in front of her.

The half murloc was just her first target!

She grinned her lips presumptuously, revealing her white teeth.Half-closed the long and narrow eye slits, the white hair at the temples was lifted high by the wind from the bow.

Roy and the witcher stared at the high-spirited woman in front of them, and moved the oars slowly, but his slightly pointed ears were pricked up.

The cold water vapor splashing from the lake on both sides blurred his vision, but a strange movement entered his perception.At this time, it was only 10 minutes before the departure of the fleet, and there was still nearly two-thirds of the journey to reach the island in the middle of the lake.

The oars were still moving, Roy quietly closed his eyes, and used his witcher senses towards the deep lake.

Amidst the noisy sound of water and the sound of wind drawn away layer by layer, he soon clearly felt an abnormal gurgling sound of dying breath, as well as the sound of a high-speed moving object shuttling between the water layers.

His gaze turned to the water surface on the right side of his body. Under the night, the water surface was pitch-black, as deep as ink, and waves appeared from time to time along with the oars and the dark tide.

And within these waves, there is a strange round thing that is ups and downs.

It cruised in the water close to the side of the ship, constantly changing its position, and at a certain moment, it revealed its upper part surreptitiously.

A long, narrow and flat fish head emerged from the water, but it was bigger than a normal human head. Along the sloping forehead, on the catfish mouth full of messy sharp teeth, two night pearl-like white eyes were bulging. Turning, looking at the boats in the water.

It even revealed a soaring hostility, but the next moment, its sight coincided with Roy's.

Both sides found anomalies.

"Er Woo...Wow...Wow...Wow."

With a strange roar, the murloc's head plunged into the water.

"The target has been awakened, give an order, Your Highness Adda." Roy growled towards the woman in front,

Without saying a word, Adda held up a lighted torch on the ship's side.

The fire shone through the night, like a signal, followed by the sound of "plop, plop" falling into the water from all the ships—the knights unanimously opened the wooden barrels they had prepared long ago, and shot up to the sky. Amidst the stench, he took out piles of black lumps and threw them into the lake water.

"Clatter!" A foul-smelling filthy rain suddenly fell in the air above the lake. It turned out that those flocs were crushed pieces of rotten fish and rotten shrimp.After fermenting for an unknown number of days, the smell is extremely stench.
