The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon jumped down.

When he noticed a ripple on the calm water, he jumped in.

Leon wanted to enter the one-meter-wide gap because there was something inside that attracted him.

However, he couldn't go in without defeating the monster lurking in the water.

Judging from the traces around the gap, there is definitely more than one monster here.

If he wanted to get rid of the monster that had discovered him, he would definitely attract more monsters while fighting the monster.

So, he felt the need to act immediately.

wow-

Leon jumped into the water, making a big splash.

The water here is not deep, just above the hips.

Without hesitation, he rushed towards the gap less than one meter in front of him.

wow——

He heard the sound of water splashing behind him, and it seemed that the other party was angered by his sudden action.

The monster had never expected that Leon would jump down so decisively. It was still thinking of lurking and then attacking suddenly.

Now, its plans have failed.

Dada-da-da-da

It was as if the sound of teeth colliding sounded behind me, followed by a sharp scream that made my teeth ache.

Leon lunged forward and stabbed into the gap accurately.

boom--

There was a loud bang and something hit the stone wall.

The shrill screams and the sound of teeth clashing continued as the monster tried to rush in.

He stood up with the help of the stone wall, turned around with the steel sword in his arms, and prepared to fight.

But he found that it was unnecessary because the one-meter-wide gap was not enough for the monster to pass through.

The monster's head struggled, but its shoulders were blocked outside the cave.

"This is..." Leon widened his eyes. He looked at the monster's head that kept poking inside and the huge teeth that were like slabs of stone.

This monster has a large face similar to that of a human, but the skin on its face is like that of a lizard.

Its body also floated out, just like a salamander, but with soft gills under its ribs.

Leon thought about the name of the monster in his mind, but after thinking about almost all of them, he didn't remember seeing this thing in Sicori's notes.

"Axolotl."

That's what Lyon decided to call it, and it's a very fitting name.

The newt looked at Leon who was so close and shouted angrily.

The teeth-grinding cry came from its throat, mixed with the sound of its big teeth colliding.

Lyon stared calmly at the furious newt in front of him, then turned and walked towards the gap.

This monster is very large, much larger than the dragonfly monster encountered on the Alba River before.

Leon didn't intend to kill him now. If he wanted, he could stab his head with his sword at any time.

But if that happens, the blood flowing from the human-faced newt will definitely attract more monsters.

He was about to get out of here.

Lyon walked in along the damp crevice. There was water under his feet, so it was not easy to walk.

However, this one-meter-wide passage was not as crowded as he had imagined.

Although he could not swing the sword, as long as he kept the steel sword in front of him, he could stab out at any time if a monster appeared in front of him.

However, no monsters appeared. The monsters in this passage might have been trampled to death by the goblins who were rushing out.

After all, the number of goblins McLaren killed in the cave was less than one-third of the total number of goblins.

Leon recalled what happened a few days ago.

McLaren cast his magic, and the goblins immediately fell into a state of chaos caused by fear.

They turned around and ran away, not having the courage to fight McLaren at all.

This was a one-sided massacre. After casting the magic, McLaren was like their nemesis, leaving them without the courage to resist.

There were at least a thousand goblins in this cave, but they did not resist. Instead, they turned around and ran away after seeing McLaren's magic - that's right, not seeing McLaren himself, but seeing his magic.

This fear seems to be engraved in the genes.

McLaren was chasing after him, and the goblin had no intention of resisting even if it meant death.

Including those goblin leaders who had command capabilities, they also turned around and ran away.

This is very unusual.

If all the goblins rushed forward at once, McLaren would not be able to kill so many goblins.

Instead he will be killed by the goblins!

As Leon continued walking into the cave, he felt the water beneath his feet becoming shallower and shallower.

At the beginning it was above the hips, then it submerged the thighs, and now it just covers the ankles.

He took a few more steps forward and finally stepped on solid ground.

The surrounding passages have not changed much. They are a bit winding, but it does not affect the passage.

Finally, after walking inside for more than an hour and getting used to the darkness, Leon saw a red light appear before his eyes.

At the same time, the Demon Hunter medal around his neck began to vibrate.

Leon was not excited by seeing the light. He approached it more carefully until he turned a corner and a magic stone tablet covered with red inscriptions appeared in front of him.

Yes, that's why he came here.

Magical stele!

Or another name, the inheritance stele.

A few days ago in the cave, when Leon was standing in front of the gap where the goblins escaped, he had a feeling. The Witcher Medal on his neck trembled slightly, proving that his feeling was correct.

But McLaren was next to him, so it was not convenient for him to go in and check.

He originally planned to come back after leaving, but when he was about to leave, Madison ordered the cave to be blown up and buried with rocks.

Therefore, he had to find another entrance.

Fortunately, his bet was right. The direction the goblins fled in was leading out of the cave, not a dead end.

This location is estimated to be very close to the goblin cave, and the straight-line distance will not exceed twenty meters.

Leon looked at the stone tablet in front of him, but he did not reach out to touch it.

He took out the prepared potion - Swallow - from his backpack.

The last time I touched the stone tablet, I might have hit my head on it and got dizzy.

But he slept soundly for half a month.

An ordinary person would have died after not eating or drinking for half a month, but he was lucky enough to survive.

And, thanks to the remaining bottle of Swallow, he was not consumed by hunger.

And now, he prepared five bottles of Swallow to deal with emergencies.

Previously, Lyon encountered a green stone tablet in Dan Rowan, but the one in front of him was red.

He was not a wizard and did not know what the color of the stone tablet represented.

But he understood that the magic inside the stone tablet could give him power.

"The green stone tablet contains the knight's breathing method and the wizard's meditation method, so what is in this red stone tablet?" Leon pondered.

But unfortunately, he didn't know much about magic. After all, he was not a wizard, he was just a demon hunter.

So, if he wants to know the answer, he needs to find it himself.

Leon took a deep breath and put his hand on it.
