Chapter 39 The Encounter of the Demon Hunter
Wander around, accept commissions, complete tasks, exchange for rewards, squander the rewards in taverns or pilings, and then continue in another place.

For the wandering witcher, this is the norm of their life.

Because playing Gwent in the tavern lost all the remaining money in his hand, in order to earn the next cost for equipment and galloping horses, the bear school demon hunter Junod had to accept the request of a monster who cleared the skein entrust.

The place of entrustment is near the ruins of Arthache Palace in the north of Toussaint. Local residents often see black figures floating in the water at night, and from time to time they can hear women's tragic cries. The merchants entrenched in the ruins The trade unions are panicked by this.

So, they spent a lot of money to entrust experts to solve this problem in the waters, and Junod just happened to be greedy for their commission.

In Junod's view, it was either the swamp witch or the night demon spirit that caused this situation. The demon hunter who had seen the world secretly laughed at the cowardice of those philistine businessmen, but he did not expect that the development of things far exceeded than he expected.

Mosquitoes bred in the water, and the stench of the swamp was annoying. After cutting down nine water ghosts and chopping up two swamp witches, Junod began to doubt whether it was the right choice for him to accept this commission.

At night, when Junod sighed again, something happened suddenly.

There was a loud noise like breaking glass in the pitch-black sky, and then gray mist came from nowhere like a tide, covering the entire swamp and the sea area north of Toussaint.

The field of vision was blurred, while Junod was vigilant, his badge began to vibrate violently.

There are sorceresses!

No, it's a wave of magic power!

Powerful magic power rushed in, and amidst the humming of the badge of the Bear School, Junod felt dizzy. After a burst of extremely uncomfortable dizziness, he was surprised to find that he appeared in a place he had never seen before. above the city streets.

The wide and tidy streets, the empty houses, the unseen characters, and the magnificent buildings made Junod feel confused and shocked.

The demon hunter who traveled all over the world had never seen such a clean and magnificent city. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, where is this?

The curious witcher searched the city. Out of caution, he didn't touch the delicious-looking food in the house, but took some valuable jewels in his bag, and then confused everyone in the city. Where did you go?
The demon hunter soon learned the answer. In the mist, he found traces of human actions, and searched along the traces. Soon the demon hunter encountered the humans here, but their situation seemed to be different. good.

A massacre, an extremely cruel killing without humanity.

Right in the center of a fountain square, the witcher saw dead bodies piled up in the fountain, including middle-aged men with exquisite clothes, young women with better faces, and even toddlers, their distorted faces Deep fear and despair remained on the ground, and the wreckage was melted and combined by some strange force, forming a blooming flower of flesh and blood.

The fountain was red with blood, and the flower of sin was in full bloom.

Even with the indifference of a demon hunter, seeing this evil and blasphemous scene, he couldn't help feeling angry.

The blood was still fresh, and not long after the massacre took place, the witcher followed the traces.

On the next street, he meets the culprit.

Those were a few people covered in black robes, they were gathering in front of a pile of fresh dead bodies, chanting words.

These men in black robes exuded a cold aura, and their faces were covered by hoods so they couldn't see their expressions, but with their keen perception, the demon hunter could hear the frenzy and madness in their words.

Strange to say, the demon hunter couldn't understand what language they were speaking, but he could feel a certain kind of majestic majesty and the core of twisted darkness from the tone of his gnashing teeth.

Hiding aside and listening quietly for a few minutes, he seemed to see the boundless dark abyss and the great phantom under the abyss, and the next moment, the demon hunter, who realized something was wrong, decisively blocked his Auditory, launched an attack on them.

"What was the result?" Qin Zheng asked.

Junod shook his head, "I killed them, but I was also seriously injured, so I hid first."

It's simple to say, but the battle process is far more complicated than the understatement of the demon hunter's words. The demon hunter relied on potions and magic seals, and managed to kill the group of black-robed men with his own serious injuries under a sneak attack.

As Junod said, he put his hand on his abdomen unconsciously, and there was a faint pain from the injured part. Thinking of those weird and ferocious men in black robes, Junod's heart was inevitably clouded.

"Those guys are not people."

"Ok?"

A trace of fear flashed in Junod's eyes, and he said, "Their faces have no facial features, their bodies are like corpses, they have no temperature and are very hard, they can use some strange magic, and they can extend flesh and blood tentacles from their bodies to attack. "

"Also, I suspect that the monsters in this city were summoned by them."

"what?"

Qin Zheng was greatly shocked. He thought that the monsters in this city were pulled in from the wizarding world during the formation of the secret realm, but the demon hunter completely overturned this conjecture.

"At the beginning, there were not so many monsters in the city, and there were some living people hiding in the rooms, but those men in black robes found them out, killed them brutally, and took the corpses away to desecrate them. Gradually, the monsters appeared It's all over the place."

"They seem to have a way to control those monsters. Those monsters are constantly patrolling the city. Because I killed their people, they are frantically searching for me in the city." The demon hunter glanced at Qin Zheng, "I brought the ghouls , with them, they will not be found."

Qin Zheng showed an embarrassed expression when he heard the words, he finally understood why the demon hunter would say that the ghoul was his dog, and this is really a watchdog.

"Hey, kid, I've said so much, it's time for you to say it."

Junod looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "What's the situation in this city? At first I thought it was another celestial sphere convergence, but your presence made me unsure again."

The confluence of the heaven and the sphere, a cataclysm that happened about 500 years ago in the world where the witcher lived.

The worlds of different dimensions collide, and the worlds are directly connected and interpenetrated.

It trapped many creatures from different worlds in the wizarding world, such as ghouls, bloodthorn wights, high-level vampires, etc., which are the remnants left by the convergence of the celestial and spheres.

These creatures have their own unique ecology, relics of a bygone era.

Therefore, when he realized that he was transferred to this unheard-of city by space, the first thought that came to the mind of the demon hunter was, could he be so unlucky to encounter the celestial sphere confluence once in thousands of years?
"Hey, you actually know that the celestial spheres converge?"

Qin Zheng looked surprised. He was really surprised. After all, the demon hunters of the Xiong School understand everything.

As if seeing the meaning in Qin Zheng's eyes, Junod squinted at him and said angrily, "We are just reckless, not brainless."

Then he showed a subtle smile, "Besides, whoever the witcher doesn't have one or two female sorceress friends, can always learn a lot of new knowledge from them."

Hearing this, Qin Zheng's expression twisted slightly.

Good guy, Qin Zheng called it a good guy, knowledge (posture) exchange, right? Sure enough, knowledge can be spread through sex, which really makes people spit (xian) abandon (mu)!
Letting go of his disdain for the demon hunter's style, Qin Zheng replied to the demon hunter, "We don't know the specific situation, but your prediction is correct, this is indeed another world."

Qin Zheng didn't try to hide anything. In front of well-informed demon hunters, he couldn't tell a lie like drinking water.

However, Qin Zheng did not drag it all out, but solemnly issued an invitation, "Junod, we are going to find out what happened in this city, do you want to come together?"

The demon hunter was silent, looked into Qin Zheng's sincere eyes, and nodded slowly.

Just at this time, there was a huge roar from two or three streets away. When the three of them heard the sound, they all turned their heads and looked out the window.

In the hazy mist, there was a touch of distorted orange red.

Qin Zheng and the demon hunter looked at each other and nodded knowingly.

"Walk."

Qin Zheng called General Xing, who turned his head and continued to stare at the demon hunter angrily, and went out first.

"General Xing, let's go, why don't you keep your eyes dry?"

"My lord, let this thief go like this?" General Xing looked resentful.

"Anyway, there is no loss, at least now we need his help."

Seeing the actions of the two, the demon hunter's eyes flickered, and he followed without hesitation.

During the rush, Qin Zheng remembered something, and asked casually, "By the way, Lao Zhu, can you remember what those men in black robes said?"

The demon hunter who followed silently pondered for a moment, and then repeated the gnawing words from his mouth.

Qin Zheng was taken aback when he heard the words. In his ears, he was familiar with languages ​​and translated them into a string of Chinese with correct accents, which read:
It is not necessarily death that sleeps forever, and the undead who have experienced strange and ancient times will also die. All things will eventually wither, and only the stars will last forever.
