Blood of the Hunting God

"Xuerong, you are not a hero, you are just a big fool!"

Pu's laughter rang out from afar, and the child was on the second floor at this moment poking his head out from the open window of Xuerong's room, still chewing something in his mouth.

"Ah, idiot Po, don't eat the snacks I hid!!!"

Immediately flustered, Xue Rong brandished the wooden sword and rushed upstairs, so anxious that she didn't even look at the road.

I always feel like something's going to happen.

Abigail, who was sitting in the corner of the yard, blinked and thought

As the girl expected, Xuerong ran into Buckle's body as soon as she ran into the building.This time, he bumped into the opponent's body solidly, knocking the little girl's head dizzy, and she took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

"Hahaha, Xuerong is a big idiot!"

Pu proud laughter sounded from upstairs.

"You, you wait for me!"

And Xue Mao, who got up from the ground, clutching the wooden sword that had been knocked down and didn't let go, was so angry that tears came out and continued running upstairs.

This look is really too childish.

Abigail sighed softly.

Hmph, she would never show this naive childlike appearance.

Mr. Hunter is also handsome, cold and powerful, and he will never show the state of these little brats.

Abigail can imagine, on the dangerous battlefield of the corrupt wilderness, Mr. Hunter and his companions, the four of them entangled and fought with the monsters with stern faces, and continued to move forward amidst the bloody face with determination. .

-

At the same time on the wilderness of corruption.

"So you don't know how to use this thing?"

Holding a small and exquisite binoculars, Tardiff sighed and looked at the three people in front of him.

"...(shakes head)"

"Ahem, I really haven't used this thing before."

"Hahaha, as a soldier who pursues the sun, I have never relied on such a small thing."

The responses of the three varied, but all clearly pointed to the same answer.

"That is to say, Disma, you spent two fucking silver coins to buy this bullshit telescope that can sense dirt. None of us know how to use it. That's it, right?"

Sighing, Tardiff put the telescope back in Disma's hand.

On the day before departure, Disma saw a brand-new experimental telescope at the workshop, which was said to be very high-end and could still see the concentration of filthy power.Although the price is ridiculously expensive, but out of trust in the Star Town Workshop, Disma decided to buy it and give it a try.

Then today, when he actually took it out to use it, he realized that among the four people present, none of them understood how to use this telescope with six different adjustment scales and mode switching functions.

"What you bought was scrap iron. No, two silver coins are just to buy scrap iron. The amount you bought is enough to kill a monster."

Tardiff complained mercilessly at this moment.

"Can you just say a few words less? It's not that you are too stupid to use this thing."

Disma, who was a little ashamed, fought back without hesitation.

"Damn it as if you know how to use it. It's a shame to spend money on junk."

"It's the courage to try new things, you know a hammer."

"Try your mother's mahua. It's reasonable to waste the space in the supply bag and pack it in tatters. If you have the ability, you can use this thing to hit the monster's head."

"You don't want to talk about me here, you shit, don't you put playing cards and dice in your bag, too?"

Ah, it's quarreling again.

The hunter reached out and covered his ears.

These two guys can't stop for a day.

"Hahaha, this is also a proof of vitality."

Solal, who was at the front of the team, smiled heartily, and reached out to pat the shoulder of the hunter beside him.

"But don't worry, under my strength, this journey will definitely pass safely."

puff-

Solal, who stepped into the mud, sank half of his body in the blink of an eye.

"Ahaha well, it seems that even warriors chasing the sun will stumble sometimes, please friends, can you stop quarreling and drag me..."

Are the teammates on this journey really reliable?

At the moment when everyone struggled to pull Solal out of the mud, the hunter felt a sense of heaviness and a sense of mission.

It seems that you still need to explore the way at the forefront.

In this inaccessible swampy area of ​​the Corruption Wilderness, a seasoned hunter like himself was needed to safely lead everyone in.

puff-

Well, the hunter suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have any experience in dealing with swampy areas deeper than humans.

"Save... life... Gulu Gulu Gu..."

The hunter, who was pulled out of the mud by the three of them after a while, decisively chose to stand in the second row.

"These swamps are not for playing around, let me take you there."

Tardiff walked forward with great momentum.

puff-

"I have far more experience with this harsh terrain than you, so keep your eyes open."

puff-

After about three hours, I finally arrived at a flat land after crossing a large swamp.

The four mud figurines sat around and remained silent for a while.

Then, thoughtful Disma suddenly spoke:

"You said, if we are seen by other hunters now, will we be regarded as monsters?"

No one responded.

Silence is the field of corruption today.

Chapter 76: On the Road

The difficulty of crossing the swampy area was more troublesome than expected.

Because there have been no hunters for a long time, the road has basically not been tidied up.Lush, filthy weeds grew taller than a person, completely obscuring the line of sight.There is hardly any flat land, and there are muddy lands everywhere, and some of them can't even tell whether it is flat land or a bottomless swamp.

The terrain problem is already quite annoying, but what makes it even more troublesome is that the swamps themselves are poisonous.In just two days, a group of four had already consumed a considerable amount of anti-drug pills.Even in this case there were three or four cases of poisoning, and some detoxification water had to be used to prevent the situation from worsening.

In addition, fighting is also very difficult. There are many monsters active in these swamps, the main one is a monster like slime, which is like a lump of mud in color.It seems that this kind of thing should have been transformed by humans or animals, but it gradually became like this in order to adapt to the environment of the poisonous swamp.When fighting, this kind of thing can protrude hardened spikes from its body. Once it is hit, it can bring about the accumulation of toxins, which is quite troublesome.And because it is an amorphous piece of meat, as long as it doesn't hit the core, this thing won't hurt at all.

And the most disgusting thing is that this kind of mud-like stuff lives in groups, and every time hunters encounter this stuff, the number is never less than fifty.If it weren't for the very slow movement of this thing, I'm afraid that just dealing with these flesh and blood monsters would consume most of the hunters' time.

In addition to these mud monsters, there are also some tumor-covered flying birds with eyes all over the body that are active in the poisonous swamp. As long as they are hit, they will directly explode and spray venom around them; It is a centipede-like thing fused together by many people, which can quickly shuttle forward in the swamp.That kind of Monster Hunter and others encountered it three times, and each time they fought quite hard.

The final result was that it took a full two days, but in the end it only covered a distance of less than [-] kilometers.

"If you continue walking in this poisonous swamp, I will really vomit."

Tardiff, who was covered in mud, let out a long breath, shook his head and said.

"The distance shouldn't be too far. After finishing today's walk, we should be able to arrive tomorrow."

Disma took out the map, estimated the distance again, then nodded and said.

"That is to say, the distance between the abandoned city of Lusse and Xingkong Town is only about [-] to [-] kilometers. This is already a fairly close place. Why hasn't anyone come to explore it for so long? Very Make the entire area completely occupied by the poisonous swamp."

Solal asked curiously while taking a sip of water.

"It's not that I don't want to come and explore. The power of filth has invaded the depths of this wilderness, which is why the plants grow so vigorously, and there are these poisonous swamps. Even if we really use manpower to fill these poisonous swamps, we must It won't be long before it will reappear. Some of us have tried to burn these grasses and trees before, and as a result, a lot of filthy power hidden in the weeds has been aroused, and most of the people who tried it were transformed on the spot, and all the monsters in the grasses were destroyed. It was brought out."

"Only the old road of the pilgrims has been safe and sound, and it has not been completely eroded by the vegetation. Perhaps... it is because of something carried on that road? Hmph, there are always many things that make people confused in the age of the old gods." I do not understand."

Disma, who answered Solal very casually, patted off the condensed mud on his body, and took a bite of the hunter's dry food, which was so unpalatable that dogs would not chew it.

Without a safe house for hunters, sleep at night on mud and stones, smelling foul swamp gas.

The four people took turns to watch the night in twos, keeping vigilance at all times, even those who were asleep could not put down their weapons, so they spent the night nervously.

On the second day, we continued to move forward, exploring the road with difficulty in the mud.

However, it was probably because they fell into the swamp too many times in the past two days. The four of them summed up some experience, and they were able to roughly judge whether the road ahead was solid or hollow.

puff-

Well, there are occasional mistakes in judgment.

On the third night, when the moon disappeared and only the sky was full of stars, the four of them found a tower half sunk in the mud in the dim sky.

The hunter kicked through the windows of the tower and climbed in, followed by three other people. The place seemed to have been abandoned for many years, and some skeletons were scattered among the houses.It seems that there was a lot of food and books originally stored in the tower, but after years of corrosion, there is nothing left.

Some regrets.

The hunter frowned looking at the vacant bookshelves that were left with nothing but residue.

If there are still intact books, you can consider bringing a few back to Abigail.

"It's a bit strange to say."

Disma, who moved a stool and sat on the wooden floor of the tower, thought about it.

"We

Along the way, although I have encountered many monsters, the number is still a bit wrong to be honest. "

"Under normal circumstances, the number of monsters we encounter must be doubled no matter what."

"Especially in those poisonous swamps, there should be monsters living there, but the swamps with monsters we encountered basically only accounted for about [-]%."

"Is it possible that there is something that summoned these monsters? But it shouldn't be..."

What are you mumbling about?

The hunter looked over curiously, but Disma, who hadn't come to a conclusion at this time, was already lighting a cigarette and enjoying himself.

"Sure enough, there is a sign of the sun here. There must be something I want to find in the ruined city of Lusai."

Solal seemed very happy after finding something from the debris in the corner. He took out a flag that was half rotten. Although it was full of holes, it could still be seen that the painting was similar The pattern on the armor is a sun-like symbol.

There seemed to be more than one such flag. The hunter came forward to rummage curiously, and found several flags, including golden ears of wheat, a huge sword, patterns like flowing water, and snakes entangled with each other. pattern.

Are these the flags that symbolize the old gods?

Hunter didn't read a lot of books like Abigail, but he had only heard the girl talk about this a little bit, so he could only guess vaguely at the moment.

"Hey, come here."

At this time, Tardive, who had climbed to the top of the tower to look out, yelled at the three of them from the window.

"What did you find?"

After snuffing out the cigarette butts and carefully putting the unfinished cigarettes back into the package, Disma looked at Tardif and asked.

"Of course, our destination is already visible, come with me."

Tardive said so, turned his head and left, and climbed up the half-collapsed ladder.

The hunter and Disma followed. Solal originally wanted to stay where he was and study the flags, but because of the principle that he could not be left alone, the Sun Warrior shook his head and regretfully followed. come up.

Then, the four people who climbed to the top of the tower saw the distant scene.

After crossing the lush grassland and countless poisonous swamps, there is a collapsed land.

The entire land collapsed out of thin air at least tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters away, and countless dilapidated tall buildings could barely be parallel to the ground.It should be a city, a city that has been almost submerged in the poisonous swamp, with less than a third of the area still existing, and with the collapse of the foundation, it is looming in the grassland, even standing on a high place Also hard to see.

"You can't go wrong, it's here."

Disma took a deep breath and clenched his fingers subconsciously.
