Blood of the Hunting God

thump—

The shadow completely shrouded it, like the horror devil in the story.

The little girl curled up desperately in the corner, but such behavior could no longer bring her a sense of security.

"Ugh..."

Did the tears fall?

With eyes wide open, he stared at the hunter who walked up to him in fear, and stretched out his hand towards him.

The girl was already speechless, but trembling all over, watching that big hand getting closer and closer to her.

puff-

He heard the sound of the heart beating violently.

puff-

Time seemed to slow down, and his hands and feet were getting colder and colder.

Then, there was a rough touch from the top of the head.

"Hey?"

The blue eyes blinked and blinked.

The girl who couldn't understand the current situation stopped trembling, and just stared blankly at the hunter in front of her.

He squatted down halfway, no longer looking down at her hunter, and stretched out the hand that was not holding the weapon, gently stroking the top of her head.

"Don't be afraid."

In the deep and hoarse voice, it was revealed from the hunter's eyes, the calm gaze that has not changed from the beginning to the end.

The rough gloves passed through the smooth long golden hair at that moment. The touch was actually not very pleasant, and it was easy to pull the hair, which made the girl feel a little pain.

However, it feels warm.

It was like approaching an unquenchable fire in the cold of a long night.

It doesn't matter whether it's covered in the blood of a monster, or the moment of ferocious bloodthirsty slaughter, or the terrifying gesture of tearing flesh and blood.

From that moment on,

Abigail was never afraid of a hunter again.

From that moment on,

Abigail begins to trust the silent hunter.

That was the day that the story of Hunter and Abigail began.

----

Putting down her hands, the little girl opened her eyes and stopped shaking her little feet.

She heard a voice, coming from the door, slowly walking towards her.

She closed her eyes again, pretended to be asleep and leaned against the wall, sitting motionless.

thump-thump-

The sound of heavy footsteps slowly approaching from a distance, from blurred to clear.

Then, as always, the footsteps stopped in front of her.

Gently, I felt it.

The touch of rough gloves flowed between her long golden hair.

It was still that ungentle, clumsy, and although I tried my best to avoid it, it was still easy to pull my hair.

So she raised her head, and with those blue eyes, she smiled at the hunter who squatted halfway in front of her and looked at her level.

"Welcome back, Mister Hunter."

With her usual, soft and gentle voice.

Chapter 6: Gifts

The howling wind is gradually subsiding.

Still cold air, still cold and dead town.

The blood-stained butcher knife gave off a stench, and was randomly placed on the side of the hut, allowing the black stains to stain the walls and the ground.

The man named Disma was still lying weakly on the bed, and it seemed that he would not be able to wake up for a while.His complexion was terrible, as pale as paper rather than human.This means that this man is not out of danger. If he is not handled properly, he may fall into the end of death at any time.

"No, the injury is too serious, and he has lost too much blood. If he just bandages the wound, he won't survive."

After carefully checking the condition of Disma, Abigail shook her head slightly.

Can't save this person?

The little girl's blue eyes were slightly tinged with sadness.

She hopes to save this man, even though he has never met, Abigail still mourns the loss of a life.

She lowered her head and prayed silently. There was not enough medicine to alleviate the injury, and the girl could only think of such a futile way.

"Mr. Hunter, how did you find this Mr. Disma?"

leave hurt

In the room where the officers were resting, Abigail raised her head to look at the hunter standing quietly beside her.

"...(reaches out)"

No answer, just pointing in a certain direction.

Abigail realized that the hunter had saved the man near the church.

"Could it be in... such a dangerous place?"

The little girl was a little surprised.

The church district, that place is basically in the center of the town.Abigail knew there, she had seen that place from afar, so she knew exactly how dangerous that place was.

In contrast to the bloodthirsty men who roamed the town, the monsters in the cathedral quarter were something else entirely.Abigail alone has seen three kinds. Among them is a kind of mad dog with twisted flesh and blood, often with three to five heads, fast speed and extremely crazy desire to attack.She had seen a hunter besieged and injured by three rabid monsters like this, and she almost confessed directly to the church area.

The other is a huge, fat monster five or six meters tall wearing a church uniform. These monsters basically retain their human form, but their faces are so swollen that they cannot be seen. Every time they take a step, they can hear the sound of this thing in their bodies. The sound of buckets shaking.This kind of priest-like thing wields weapons like a large sword or a spear, and when a saw knife cuts them, it will burst out corrosive slurry. When dying, this ghost thing will even continue to expand. Approaching the enemy crazily and then exploding directly, spilling corrosive liquid everywhere, it is an extremely disgusting and difficult monster.

There was one last kind, Abigail had only seen one, and she wasn't sure if that was the only thing in the entire church district that existed by itself.But she can be sure that the other monsters are very afraid of that thing, so afraid that even if they lose their minds, they will not approach each other.

It should be a knight, wearing rusty armor that can show gorgeous patterns. The broken sword in his hand is less than half of the blade, but the sharp blade reflecting the moonlight can still be seen.

That thing only had its upper body, its eyes were stabbed blind, and its right hand was broken off, leaving only a small half. It just grabbed the broken sword with its left hand, crawled unconsciously in the church area, and wandered in the square in front of the largest church.

It seemed that due to the influence of some kind of strange force, the knight's size became very large. Although only half of his body was left, he was about three to four meters tall.But it is so crippled that people have to wonder how they can survive. No matter who looks at this crippled thing, I'm afraid they won't feel that it can cause any serious threat.

Abigail saw the thing and killed the hunter once.

That time, she watched the hunter kill two rabid dogs on the roof, and then carefully dealt with a swollen priest, and then stepped into the square in the inner church area.

It only took half a second for the knight with half of his body to crawl over from the other side of the square 50 meters away, swinging his broken sword and slashing towards him, but the hunter slid sideways to dodge him.

Then there is no more, the posture of swinging the sword is just a fake action, the knight's broken sword changed direction halfway through the swing, just right to catch the track of the hunter who just slipped away, and cut him in the middle with one move broken.

Five minutes later, behind Abigail, who fell to the ground at a loss due to excessive shock and despair, the unscathed hunter returned silently and patted her on the head to express comfort.In the next few days, the hunter did not approach the church area again.

Is Mister Hunter immortal?

The little girl didn't know this question, and the hunter didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask, because she believed in the hunter.

However, even if you really have the power of immortality, it is impossible to be free, and that crippled knight is so terrifying, the girl does not want the hunter to go head-to-head with that kind of thing, but seems to know Abigail's thoughts, after the hunter No more attempts were made to enter the church quarter.

But this time, maybe the situation is different.

"Mr. Hunter, do you want to go to the church again?"

Abigail raised her head and asked in a low voice.

"...(pats head)"

As always, he didn't answer, just stretched out his hand to gently stroke the girl's long golden hair.

She knew he had already given the answer.

"I know that there is a medicine in the church that can cure Mr. Disma, just like the one that Mr. Hunter ventured into and brought back for me last time, but..."

That time, Abigail suddenly fell into weakness, as if suffering from some kind of disease.

The hunter searched around the town, and finally searched the church area, and tried to bring back a strange-looking luminous potion. After drinking it, Abigail immediately recovered.But it was also on that occasion that the hunter walked into the square in the church district and was killed by the wandering knight once.

Abigail knew that the hunter had basically searched the outskirts of the church area during that exploration.

In other words, if he wanted to try to find the potion from last time, he had to enter the inner area, and he had to pass through that square.

"Can... not go?"

Lowering her head, the little girl could feel how dry her voice was.

"To say such a request, Abby, is already a bad boy."

"However, I don't want Mr. Hunter to be in danger."

"So Mr. Hunter, can you not go?"

A hard-spoken request that didn't get any

Ho's response.

Of course, she knew he had made up his mind.

Just like when he first met her, in that hut, the hunter naturally chose to protect her who had never met before.

So now the hunter will act again. In order to save the dying person in the hut, he will once again break into danger and try to use his own strength to save him.

If you think about it this way, does it mean that I am not a special existence to the hunter, but the hunter has always been like this, no matter who the person who appeared there when they first met, the hunter will be willing to protect the other party?

Closing her eyes, the girl who knew that the hunter had made up her mind didn't make a sound, just quietly waiting for the hunter to leave. "

Then, I felt a touch on my head again.

Not the rough touch of a glove, but the softness of a furry toy.

"Hey?"

Dazed and stunned, the little girl subconsciously reached out and grabbed the little thing on top of her head.

A dusty stuffed teddy bear, seemingly hand-stitched, looked adorable.

"Mr. Hunter? Is this a gift for me?"

Gently, hugging the little cloth bear in her arms, the girl asked in a low voice, and opened her eyes wide, the emotion of surprise could not be hidden in the blue eyes.

"……(nod)"

As always, no answer, just a slight movement of the body.

Afterwards, the hunter waved his hand as a farewell, turned around and picked up the meat saw in the corner, then turned on the lantern on his waist to make it emit a faint blue light, and then said nothing. He hurriedly walked towards the door.

A new hunt has already begun to be summoned.

"Mr. Hunter, please be careful and return safely."

Amidst the farewell sound of the little girl sounded behind him, the hunter walked into the moonlight.

Chapter 7: The Blessing of the Goddess

The hunter knew that if he wanted to find the medicine, he had to go deep into the church district.

He knew exactly where the medicine was, because he had already obtained information about it before that.

From the mouth of Disma who is now in a coma.

When the hunter first found Disma, there were three of them, but when the hunter caught up, there was only Disma left.They seem to be a small team with a division of labor. One person stands at the front with a shield and a hatchet, and Disma follows behind with a gun and a knife. In addition, there is a crossbowman supporting him in the distance.It's a good staffing, provided that they don't want to challenge the half-body knight.

"The church area of ​​Fengrao Town is one of the few areas that has not been explored by the predecessors. There are likely to be many secret treasures of the old gods left behind. With this effort, we will be able to find them successfully!"

The three people encouraged each other to move forward, and then they were killed by the crippled knight in front of the square in the inner area of ​​the church. In the end, only Disma, who was not bad, escaped from death and escaped from the small church at the last moment. square.The range of the knight's activities was only in the small square. As long as he left that area, as long as he didn't try to attack it again, he would basically not be chased again. That's why Disma was able to recover his life.

"Are you... are you another exploration team? There are people who happen to be in Fengrao Town..."
