The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon was amazed at Visenna's magic. These vines could grow at such a terrifying speed and even lift boulders weighing several tons!

Moreover, these vines looked much stronger than normal ones, which must be the effect of the potion she poured down at the beginning.

"Don't worry, I changed the toughness of the vines. They won't collapse under this weight." Seeing Leon looking at the vines in front of him carefully, Visenna explained.

Leon nodded and walked in front with his sword.

Suddenly, he saw a light green light behind him flying forward.

"Fireflies?" Lyon was a little surprised when he saw the small insects flying in front of him.

February is already early spring, but fireflies won’t appear so early, right?

He looked back.

Sure enough, he saw fireflies flying out of a small bottle of Visenna.

After these fireflies flew out, they surrounded them like a layer of glowing fog, illuminating the area within five or six meters around them.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't have eyes like yours, I need light." said Visenna.

Leon turned around, and with the illumination of Visenna's fireflies, he felt much more relaxed.

He walked forward, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness and rotting grass.

Moreover, the further he went inside, the warmer Lyon felt, and the temperature inside was rising.

If it was summer, it would be cool under the ruins, but the opposite was true in winter and early spring.

Moreover, he also smelled urine and feces, which should be the traces of animal activities under the ruins.

"It seems that there are a lot of living creatures moving around in here." Lyon also saw some rat droppings the size of candied dates in the cracks of the rocks nearby.

"Mutated rats... I wonder what's behind them." Leon pondered.

He walked forward in silence. The road was bumpy, made of broken stones, and it was not easy to walk on.

Suddenly, he saw red dots appearing in front of him, and then more and more!

At the same time, a sharp squeaking sound was heard.

Mutated rat swarm!

Judging from the noise, there are probably more than a hundred of them!

"So many?!" Leon asked in surprise, "Is there something attracting them here?"

This ruin can't support so many rats, unless there is something in it to attract them!

Leon didn't have time to think about what it was, so he simply asked: "Visenna, can this vine withstand fire?"

"As long as it doesn't last, it's fine!" Visenna responded eagerly.

Then, she saw the scene in front of her suddenly light up.

boom--

A pillar of fire gushed out from Leon's palm, almost occupying half of the passage!

Igni Sign!

The mutant rat at the front was burned by the oncoming flames and screamed immediately.

The mice at the back bumped into the mice in the front and fell down one after another. Some were even stuck in the cracks of the stones and could not move.

Lyon raised his hand and cast a magic seal towards the passage in front of him.

In an instant, an irregular circle with a diameter of more than three meters appeared, blocking the passage in front of him.

The entire circle emits a faint purple light, which looks poisonous.

Seal of Arden!

One of the sigils commonly used by demon hunters, similar to a magic circle, integrating effects such as poisoning and paralysis.

Of course, its power is nothing compared to that of a normal magic circle, but it is still very good for dealing with some slow-moving monsters.

Especially now, the space is limited and these mutant rats can't hide even if they want to.

Sure enough, the mutant rat rushing from behind plunged into the control range of the Aden Seal. Its limbs immediately became uncoordinated and it fell down.

Undoubtedly, this is the effect of paralysis.

The mutant mice were unable to adjust to the sudden paralysis of their limbs, even if it was only mild.

Soon, there was a pile of mutant rats in front of him.

Leon cast the Igni Sign again, and flames spewed out at close range. In an instant, the air was filled with the stench of burning hair mixed with the aroma of barbecue.

Immediately afterwards, Leon stretched out his hand, activated the Alder Seal, and directly blew the mutant rat in front of him away!

The light of the Aden Seal gradually dimmed until it finally disappeared.

It was only ten seconds in between, but within these ten seconds, Leon killed no less than thirty mutant rats in one go!

The mutant rats were obviously more intelligent. So many of their companions died at once, and many of them had extensive burns on their bodies. They were lying on the ground and roaring at him.

For a moment, the mice behind stopped and dared not to pounce again.

But Leon didn't care about that. He just rushed forward and swung the steel sword in his hand to chop!

The screams of their companions, coupled with Leon's ferocious aura like a wild beast, caused the rats at the back to retreat and flee.

Some simply drilled into the gaps nearby, even though it was unclear whether these gaps were accessible after Visenna changed the nearby structures.

But the mutant mouse's IQ obviously wasn't high enough to take this into consideration, so it could only rely on instinct to escape.

Leon paused, waiting for Visenna to come forward.

Now the screams of injured mutant rats could be heard in the passage.

"What a strong vitality... It's not dead yet." Leon looked at the mutant mouse that was bigger than a cat. Its body was almost cut in half by his sword, and its internal organs were scattered all over the ground, but it was still alive!

Not only that, these seriously injured mice seemed to have no sense of pain, and even when they couldn't move, they opened their mouths to bite him.

Leon turned to look at Visenna and found that apart from a lingering fear, she had no other expression.

"I thought the druid would be very angry when he saw such a scene." Lyon said.

Visenna sighed, looked at the mutant rats screaming and struggling in front of her and said, “Indeed, this abnormal mutation is more harmful to nature.

There is also the magical pollution here. If it is carried out by these rats, the impact will be wider. This is what I am most worried about.

Moreover, these mice were obviously the result of sudden mutation of adult individuals, rather than being born from mice carrying magical powers.

This kind of mutation is more dangerous and more uncontrollable. I don’t know what they will become if they continue to mutate.

Moreover, once they run out and are captured by other animals, this magical contamination may also be spread.

If this continues, the damage to nature will be even greater!

Therefore, the mutant creatures here must be eliminated."

As a druid, Visenna would not feel comfortable allowing the demon hunter to kill so many creatures, even rats.

But compared to releasing these creatures carrying magical powers and causing more serious damage to the outside ecology, she could only choose a less harmful way of dealing with them.

"Then I feel relieved." Lyon said.

They continued to move forward, and in less than ten minutes, the space in front of them suddenly became wider.

At the same time, the green light shone on Leon's face, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
