The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"You never settled here? No wonder." The lumberjack put the wood on the raised rock aside. "What the **** is going on on the mountain? I heard the bell ring, and many people left."

"Do you think I look like someone who knows what's happening in the holy city of Losric?" Zelin opened his hands.

The lumberjack looked at the demon hunter, then shook his head, "It doesn't look like it."

"Is there any surface on the way to the quiet church?"

"It's nothing, just go forward, then left, right, right, left, back and forth like this."

Zelin stared at the lumberjack, who shrugged, "Is there any problem?"

"No, good luck."

The lumberjack is crouching, and it is certainly not an easy job to resist such a long tree. The trees were covered with dark green moss and silt, which also stuck to the loggers. It made them look like they were covered with moss. Reminiscent of what the priest told him before, Zelin hoped that they could wash these things away when they flushed at night, instead of actually growing on their skin.

There were several prison carts made of steel on the side of the road. When Zelin was passing by, he looked inside through the prison window and saw a man with a decadent breath sitting inside, but what was even more concerning was this man. Dense feathers grow on his arms, making his arms look like the wings of some kind of bird. I heard that this is a cage for the undead. It was supposed to be sent to the undead settlement, but now, the bell rang.

The working place of these people is limited to the high **** at the foot of the mountain. After all, even if the flame is not extinguished, the forest below is still so dangerous. But even so, there are some people in the swamp who are trying to find the treasures left in the Fortress of Fran and the ruins of Casas.

They camped in places where the swamp hadn't been submerged, or hid in ancient ruined eaves. On the way, Zelin also saw a magician from Peter Heimlong Academy, a man named Obek, who came here to search for Ula Xilu's magical heritage. But Zelin was neither a magician, nor did he know anything about Ula Xilu. There are many people who come here to look for magical heritage like Oubeck. They are all different, like a group of magicians, but the biggest feature is their silence, not saying a word, and always being indifferent to many people around them. .

Most of the mutant creatures that did not encounter too much trouble along the way, which can cause trouble. Some small creatures, like leeches, and mutant crabs that are often mentioned by people.

"Oh... this is really big."

Zelin saw the mutant crab for the first time when he didn't go far into the Punishment Forest, almost where he saw the outermost ruins of the Flange Fortress. At that time, the crab was lifting up an unlucky explorer, and with his screams, it would shake the crab claws, and finally snapped the unlucky fellow from his waist with a click. This mutant crab is almost three meters tall. The huge crab claws can not only kill humans, but can even break the surrounding tree trunks. Zelin tried to guide the crab to the dense trees nearby to restrict its movement, but the result was a pile of broken wood on the ground.

But this mutant crab also has the weakness of a huge size. Although its two legs climbed up very fast, the movement of waving the crab claws was relatively slow. After fighting with the crabs in the shallow swamp, Zelin found its weakness. The huge body makes the weak joints of the crab's legs extra conspicuous and unprepared. The long sword easily found the gap in the joint shell, and then broke the fragile muscles and joint tendons inside.

After the long sword destroys the four legs of the mutant crab, the mutant monster finally bears less than its own weight and crashes down. The splashing marsh silt almost covered the Kunen's seal protecting the demon hunter with a mud shell. While the mud crab fell, Zelin turned around to face it, and the blade easily pierced into the place between the crab's back shell and the two eyes.

In any case, even in different worlds, the body structure of these crabs is roughly the same. In the past, when demon hunters ate grilled crabs in the seaside fishing village of Sidaris, they often saw fishermen pierce the crabs with the cut wooden sticks very easily. It seems that the crab in this world, even if it mutates, Zelin's experience still applies to its body structure. Although this mutant crab can't make people appetite no matter how you look at it.

Walking between the prominent mounds and the architectural remains that have not been swamped by the swamp, Zelin tried his best to keep his boots from sinking into the silt. He believed in his leather boots, but he didn't want to test how long the new leather boots could last in the mud and swamp.

When night fell, Zelin found a collapsed ruin. There are just a few stone walls here, just to block the cold wind in the forest, and by the way, he can sit on the hard stone ground, not at any time. Climb out of the dirt of a giant worm. After seeing several corpses eaten by giant worms, the demon hunter became more convinced of the danger of this forest.

The marsh gas in this swamp is not strong. He can safely use the Ignifa Seal to light the dry branches and set up a small bonfire in the corner formed by the two stone walls. Just like in the world he lives in, at night, the forest is full of dangers, and the fire that barely keeps him warm.

"I hope I can spend it safely tonight."

Finally, he glanced at the mottled shadow of the tree on the wall by the moonlight, and listened to the whine of the wind like a demon spirit, Zelin closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

Chapter 402 The Raiders

The first thing that came to the ears of the demon hunter was the sound of shoes stepping on dry branches.

Slightly opened his eyes, it was late at night, and the bonfire in front of him was constantly swaying in the night wind. Hula hula flew over many birds in the sky, maybe bats, but he doubted whether there were such creatures as bats in this world.

The demon hunter lowered his eyelids, and the burning branches made a faint crackling noise.

Someone is approaching here.

He quickly made a judgment.

He touched the package around his waist with his left hand, and after a while, he found the cat potion in the small glass bottle. He has a lot of potions, so Zelin has developed the habit of putting certain potions and sword oil in certain places a long time ago. No one wanted to find that he couldn't find the potion decoction and sword oil he needed when facing danger.

The cold potion poured into his mouth, and he exhaled. The muscles of the whole body tightened, and the animal's pupils almost shrank into a vertical line. Zelin closed his eyes, and under the stimulation of the potion, he heard more in his ears. Worms roll up the silt when crawling on the ground, the friction between the shells of the mutant crabs when they move, the rustling leaves of the night wind, the ripples on the water surface of the swamp, and the soft shoes stepping carefully on the ground and accidentally hitting the fallen leaves. There was a clicking sound.

Then, the footsteps stepped on the gravel.

Zelin opened his eyes suddenly, and he subconsciously made a rolling action and held the Kunen Fayin onto his body. The next moment, the pale magic suddenly lit up in the dark night illuminated the ancient ruined eaves and broken walls. The fire that was hit burst open, sparks splashed, and light burst out suddenly, but shortly afterwards, the ruins of the lost fire were returned to darkness.

However, this darkness can no longer affect the demon hunter. With the help of the cat potion, the night is like daylight in front of him. He can clearly see the cracks in the bricks on the ground, as well as the blown out of his previous location. Potholes. And the assailant standing by the broken stone pillar.

It was wearing a cylindrical hat with a height of almost half a meter. There were some bulges on the top of the hat. It took Zelin almost two seconds to realize that it was just a hat and not some disgusting strange mushroom. Except for the hat, the assailant looked normal in other places, simple cloth clothes, and a weapon like a lawn mower sickle in his hand. But as it swung its sickle, the spell shot at the demon hunter like a crossbow.

It used to be a two-story stone building, but the second floor of the building has disappeared. Only half of the floor and the well-preserved steps indicate that the building had two floors in the past. Zelin walked around behind an unbroken stone pillar and listened to the sound of the stone cracking when the magic hit the stone pillar. This allowed the demon hunter to judge the power of the opponent's magic.

No matter how sudden the battle is, never rush out until you know the opponent's combat level. You never know whether the enemy will be hacked to death by you after this sword is cut, or if you can easily block your attack and kill you backhand. Years of experience in fighting various insidious monsters kept Zelin cautious, so he could live to the present, and then proved that countless rumors about his tragic death were false.

Listening to the sound, the enemy's spells can create five magic arrows each time, with an interval of about two seconds. It can crush small stones, but it has nothing to do with pillars made of large stones. The attacker was constantly releasing spells, while approaching where the demon hunter was hiding. It seemed to be overwhelmed by Zelin's helplessness with magic.

At the interval of the fourth magic spell, Zelin jumped out from behind the stone pillar, but his target was not the attacker, but jumped onto the side steps, and disappeared on the broken second-story ceiling with the blink of an eye. The magic hit his feet, and the splashed debris rolled down the steps.

The enemy took out a wooden shield from behind and rushed to the steps quickly. The casters in this world are quite like the mage of Skyrim Winterhold Academy. Fortunately, the mage only uses weapons like a short cane like a sickle, but the conjurer looks no different from a warrior. He attacks with an axe and uses a shield. Defense, the only difference from a warrior is that when you get away from him, the conjurer will throw a fireball at you.

Although this enemy has the demeanor of Skyrim spellcasters, it does not have their vigilance. When it catches up to the steps, it forgets. When going up high, its head will be exposed to the enemy first, just like when a person walks down from the top, the enemy will see its legs first. .

When its towering hat completely appeared in Zelin's field of vision, and the moment his eyes reached the second floor, the long sword swept across its forehead almost sticking to the ground.

The long sword swept across the shield, and the assailant stood unsteadily on the steps, dumped backwards, and rolled down the steps like the broken stones that had just been crushed by it. Zelin took the opportunity to jump down from the crack in the ground on the second floor, and the blade of the sword struck down the enemy who had not yet risen on the ground. The latter rolled on the ground, took advantage of the situation, and got up, the sword slashed on the ground and splashed a burst of sparks. In the next moment, Zelin raised his hand with an Alderfa seal, causing the enemy who had just stood up to fly directly backwards, almost flying out of the ground of the ruins of the house, colliding with a crumbling wall, and falling outside with the rocks. In the muddy swamp.

After taking a few breaths, the enchanted shirt under the griffin armor made him almost immediately recover from the slight exhaustion caused by the release of the seal.

"Dead?"

He walked cautiously towards the stone wall that the opponent hit, holding a sword in one hand, and looking into the marsh quagmire where the attacker had fallen. The muddy water in the quagmire was still sloshing, but no one was seen inside. The demon hunter jumped down, watching the enemy's attack, looking back and forth, hoping to find any clues left.

In the end, he found muddy footprints on a dirt **** on the left. It must have caused a lot of damage to it at once, and there are some bloodstains beside the footprints, like vomiting out, then it may hurt its internal organs. Anyway, if there is no nearby camp or emergency treatment tools. , The attacker would definitely not be able to survive such a forest night.

Seeing the traces left by the enemy, Zelin followed.

The opponent's footsteps are very rapid, which makes the demon hunter a little surprised. Normally, a person who has been injured like this will definitely be affected in their actions, but the speed of the attacker is no less than that of an intact demon hunter. . Following its trail, Zelin gradually walked to the vicinity of a raised soil **** in the swamp.

The 403rd chapter crystallized old man

Some wooden piles were erected beside the soil slope, as if they were swearing their own territory, enclosing the road leading to the soil slope, leaving only a gap as an entrance.

With a gesture, the Kunen's Fa Seal covered his body again, and this layer of protection could at least keep him safe from the first wave of attacks.

Walking up the road, the road took him around in a circle, and finally came to the top of the slope. The closer you get to the top, the more artificial traces there are. There are some bluestone slabs on the ground and some wooden fences nearby. It seems that there are people living here. But before Zelin could investigate more carefully, the flames suddenly lit from the three surrounding braziers made him have to raise his hand to block the dazzling light that had passed for him.

The next moment, three identical figures suddenly appeared beside the brazier, as if they had emerged from the ground, forming a triangle to surround the demon hunter.

"Report your name, intruder!" The dazzling crystalline light all around lit up at the same time. All three figures wore the same wide robe, and a large hat with a diameter of almost three meters, like a mushroom canopy. The magic power can make the hem of the robe hunt and hunt like being blown by the wind, and the triple sound at the same time resounds like an echo in the valley "or die here!"

Following his words, many crystals on the ground around him rose from the ground like ground thorns. In an instant, the demon hunters were surrounded by crystals that shone in the light of the fire. Trapped him in the middle like a prison.

"I'm a traveler from Losric! I was attacked nearby, tracking the attacker here." Zelin squinted his eyes, thinking about a new battle plan in his heart. In any case, he must destroy the brazier first, and now the darkness is more advantageous for him.

"What can prove your words?!"

The demon hunter put his hand on his waist, and he touched the emblem of the Youth Pledge wrapped in a small ring flag, as well as the Dragon Dream bomb.

He put his hand on the bomb and hesitated for a moment. In the end, what he took out was the emblem of the Youth Cult. "I accept the entrustment of the Imam from Losric to go to the Youxie Church."
