The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"This is the dwarf's clothes, and here..."

Leon followed the traces of the ghoul and found some bloody clothes less than one kilometer away from the cemetery.

He continued to move forward and found more.

And after his observation, he found that the bloodstains on the clothes were very fresh, appearing in the last few days.

Moreover, among these clothes, he saw a pair of pants that looked somewhat familiar.

These trousers belonged to the dwarf who was stripped naked in public by Baron Crean.

"The dwarf is dead. It seems that Creon sent someone to kill him." Leon thought to himself.

There is more than one piece of clothing here, and the bloodstains are from different people.

So far, Leon has found the blood of four people, and none of them are human, but dwarfs.

"I'm afraid no one knows what happened here now." Lyon thought to himself.

The dwarf was insulted, but Baron Crean did not offer any compensation or even a proper apology.

If he really went to Salm to complain and brought his dwarf friend with him, it would be enough to make Baron Crean very upset.

“With the ghouls here, not even bones will be left of the corpse. This is a great place to get rid of the corpse.

Hmmm... I smell goblin blood."

Leon followed the trail all the way and smelled the goblin's blood.

Their blood has an extremely foul smell and is easy to identify.

He guessed that the bodies of the two goblins were also thrown here.

Leon looked up at the sky and it was already afternoon.

If he continues chasing like this, and if the zombies' lair is still in the forest, he can only fight at night.

However, perhaps he was lucky, and soon he discovered a large number of traces of zombie activities.

This is a small valley, filled with the stench of decay, which wafts over from the swamp ahead.

Even without the tracking ability, Leon knew where the ghoul's lair was.

He dismounted and walked along the foot of the mountain, avoiding puddles and heading towards the shade.

He took one deep step and one shallow step, and the water soon covered his feet.

He came to the swamp, but his target was not the swamp, but an open cave not far from the swamp.

In an area outside the cave, the reeds fell and broke on the ground, as if they had been crushed by some creature, forming a sharp contrast with the reeds around them.

“The traces are very recent, and it seems that these ghouls indeed appeared recently.

No wonder there are no legends of ghouls around Tegamo. It should be not far from the town and people can reach it. "Lyon thought to himself.

There is a ghoul nest near the town. Even if the villagers cannot eliminate the ghouls, they will definitely spread the legend that there is a monster here.

However, no, the ghouls have really only appeared in recent months.

"Something strange..."

Leon looked up at the sun. It was still a few hours before it set.

He focused his magic power on his eyes so that his vision in the darkness would be clearer.

After gaining magic power, the special parts of Leon's body also underwent subtle changes, and he could rely on magic to strengthen them temporarily.

For example, his tracking ability and night vision ability.

Leon held the steel sword, smeared sword oil on it, and carefully entered the cave.

The ground underfoot was fairly flat, so he didn't have to worry about tripping over anything.

The only thing he needed to be careful about was the stalactites hanging upside down above his head. Given his height, he could easily get hit on the head if he wasn't careful.

What puzzled Leon was that this was a zombie's lair, but there was no smell of decay.

It’s a bit incredible!

"That's strange, this shouldn't happen." Lyon became alert.

This is a bit abnormal. Ghouls are extremely fond of rotten corpses. This is their lair, so there must be a smell of rotten meat.

There must be something strange!

He cheered himself up and moved forward cautiously. After walking for about ten minutes, he suddenly felt a magical force.

At the same time, the Demon Hunter Medal began to tremble slightly.

"Magic?" Leon frowned and continued forward.

Soon, a cavity appeared in front of him.

In the cavity, Leon vaguely saw a huge tumor, beating vigorously.

The Ghoul Lair has arrived!

However, he did not step forward immediately, as his eyes were attracted by the arc-shaped stone arch in front of him.

There was a three-meter-high stone arch in front of the cavity. On the stone doorhead and the stone door frame, he saw a large number of twisted runes that looked like decorative patterns.

These runes were engraved on the door and door header, but cracks of varying sizes appeared on the door header and door frame, destroying the continuity of the runes.

Leon felt a faint magic emanating from the door head and door frame.

Leon now understood why there was no foul smell in the cave when he came in earlier.

The previous section of the cave is obviously a disguise, and this disguise is to cover up the situation here.

This is a man-made cave, or a cave that has been modified by humans!

The wizard cast a spell here, and the runes on the door frame might be a magic circle like a barrier.

Perhaps because it was too long, the magic circle gradually lost its power. In addition, for some unknown reason, perhaps a natural disaster such as an earthquake, the door frame cracked and the magic circle completely collapsed.

The sealed ghouls inside revived and went out to prey.

This place should be a wizard's secret laboratory or a treasure trove, but now it has become a zombie's lair!

Leon felt that he had guessed the truth.

The traces of magic here could not be faked, especially the runes on the door. Although he did not recognize them, he knew that they were the work of a wizard.

Whether it is the secret laboratory of some ancient wizard or his treasure trove, it is a huge fortune for a wizard like Leon who has just changed his career.

He now only has a book in his hand, which is full of Lucius's personal opinions. He is not sure which way to go as a wizard. What if the other party has set a trap in the book?

A wizard is not a philanthropist. It is impossible for him to reveal all of his experience in cultivation. He will definitely keep some things to himself.

Leon needs other relevant books to correct his path of cultivation, preferably ones that are written in great detail so that he can have a reference.

Maybe it's inside the cave in front of us?

Leon took a deep breath and stepped forward cautiously.

It was the first time he saw a ghoul's lair. As a gatekeeper monster sealed inside by the owner of the cave, Leon did not dare to be careless at all.

He couldn't guarantee whether there were any other magical means besides the zombies.

The wizard's methods are mysterious and unpredictable, and you will fall into his trap if you are not careful.

He came to the edge of the cavity but did not go in immediately.

He had a plan. Ghouls were nocturnal monsters and they must be resting now.

He planned to sneak in first, kill a few of them, and then rush out before the other zombies could react, relying on the passage behind him to deal with the remaining zombies one by one.

This is the safest way.

However, the moment Leon stepped into the cavity, the purple light was suddenly activated.

A magic circle was directly activated, blocking his way back.

At the same time, the zombies who were resting on the ground raised their heads one after another.
