Pale Emblem

Chapter 127 Meeting the Dragoon Again

The fighting between demons and demon hunters became increasingly fierce, and the fighting situation can be described as tragic.

Both sides have surprisingly strong vitality and are not afraid of injuries. Both sides are accustomed to trading injuries for injuries. As a result, the onlookers only saw the flash of swords and whips, flesh and blood flying everywhere, the tentacles of demon monsters were cut off by sharp blades, and half of a female hunter's pretty face was beaten and torn, and even one of her eyeballs hung out of the socket, but she He stuffed the broken eyeball that was sprouting with granulation back into place and continued fighting as if nothing had happened.

Normal people will feel scared after seeing such a bloody scene, not to mention the abyss demons have a strong sense of oppression and aggression towards natural life.

It was like a big source of pollution. With the terrifying howls, the abyssal spiritual energy radiated in all directions. Any half-elf who comes close to the battlefield will feel uncomfortable, even Harvey, whose mind has been modified.

"Sir, you said they are going to fight to the death here, so should we take the opportunity to escape?" Harvey asked worriedly.

Victor's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and then asked without answering: "You said those adventurers were killed by monsters and many of their companions were killed. Why didn't they escape and still follow behind?"

"There's nothing surprising about that."

Harvey suppressed his voice and said matter-of-factly: "Adventurers are a group of guys who are willing to take risks for the sake of wealth. I guess they saw someone who could fight with monsters and wondered if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters... They could wait for the monsters and bounty hunters to come together. If you are defeated and injured, you will come out to look for the mayor's treasure. The mayor has been running Water Snake Town for so many years, and his treasure must be considerable. If this vote is made, the adventurers can retire... Well, if the bounty hunter fights. If the monster dies and the monster is seriously injured, they may be able to rush out and kill the monster, avenge the tragic death of their companions before, and then find the treasure again.”

Finally, Harvey added, "We used to do this when we were adventurers!"

Normal people cannot be considered adventurers, and adventurers are not normal people. This kind of job with extremely high mortality rate can only be done by brave, aggressive, cunning and cunning people. When faced with danger, they will not immediately think of escaping, but will look to see if there is any chance of benefit.

In short, bold people can maintain a strong fighting spirit in desperate situations, which is a prerequisite for being an adventurer. As for personal force, that is secondary.

Therefore, qualified adventurers can effectively resist the negative effects of abyss aura by virtue of their inner bravery and higher willpower than ordinary people.

Victor and Harvey were of course less affected. Their tenacity was almost a talent, and they had a high immunity to the aura of the abyss. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable at first, but they quickly adapted to it.

This may be because the abyss demon in front of him is not strong enough, or its malice is not directed at any one person in particular.

Now that the demon hunters and demons are fighting to the death here, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and there is nothing left to worry about. Victor wanted to stay and see the situation before making any plans.

The Life Distortion Potion has an extraordinary appeal to him. Even if it involves some big forces and there may be all kinds of troubles in the future, he wants to try to seize it.

"Did you see those barrels on the ground?" Victor pointed to the three wooden barrels next to the small trailer and said to Harvey: "The potion inside is very important. If there is a chance, we must find a way to take it away."

Harvey looked over and said: "The barrels are not big, but if we take them all away, we have to use the hand truck to tow them, and then we will move slowly."

Victor felt that Harvey was right, so he lowered his request and said: "Bring as much as you can, even if you can only bring one bucket, that's fine."

While observing the two warring parties, Harvey nodded and responded: "Okay! I think the white-haired boy Rhine and the three women are also monsters. It would be best if they all died!"

The female hunter's tactics were effective and her coordination was skillful, making it difficult for the monster to resist. As its injuries accumulated, it gradually fell into a disadvantage in the fight. However, as the bone spur tentacles on her back were cut off one by one, the pressure from the monster on the huntress continued to increase. Its power becomes stronger, its attack speed becomes faster, and it becomes more and more brave as it fights.

This is because the monster's appearance has changed, from crawling on all fours to moving upright. The muscles of its lower limbs are knotted and thick enough to support the weight of the whole body; the upper limbs have become longer, and the muscles have contracted and tightened, making them look extremely strong. They can actually resist the hunter's sharp blade head-on, and only make a dull "bang bang" sound. And no harm. Its last bone spur tentacle acts as a tail behind its back, giving the monster better balance and helping it free up a pair of sharp claws on its upper limbs for attack or defense. It also greatly improves its agility.

In addition, the monster's original half-elf male facial features are almost gone.

Three new curved horns grew on its head, its snout became protruding, and it was equipped with a mouth full of fangs. It looked like an abyss demon. And there was also the shadow of a half-elf?

On the contrary, Victor felt that this form of demon was more pleasing to the eye than the monster with a half-elf face.

Demons are supposed to be inhuman. The monster with a half-elf male face is extremely uncoordinated, showing some pain and awkwardness.

This feeling was like Victor watching a half-elf fall into a swamp, his face embedded in the mud, unable to struggle, and irreversible, until he was completely swallowed by the swamp.

Suddenly, Victor understood that this monster was originally the village chief of Oxtail Village, and the potion it prayed to the mayor of Water Snake Town might be the secret potion that could help him restore his half-elf form.

If it completely loses its half-elf characteristics, something terrible and tragic will happen.

In any case, the demon monster's combat power has been greatly improved. The muscles of its whole body have been tightened to be able to withstand the slashes and stabs of the female hunter. The monster then used claw strikes and tail sweeps to attack, unexpectedly changing its previous decline, and gradually gained the upper hand in the battle.

The three female hunters cooperated with each other and were able to cope with the monster's fierce counterattack for the time being, but the encirclement they formed obviously expanded a lot.

The strong pressure from monsters forces the female hunters to undergo certain distortions, thus releasing more abilities.

The most obvious change is the eyes. The huntress's sclera changed from the pure white at the beginning to a dirty black, and her pupils turned as red as blood. They were exactly the same as the eyes of the demon monster, both black eyes and red pupils!

No wonder Harvey regards the witchers as monsters and hopes that they will die together with the monsters in the battle. Victor is thinking about another question. Flesh distortion can enhance the abilities of monsters and demons. Will excessive distortion lead to irreversible consequences?

If this hypothesis is true, it is equivalent to a certain critical point. Once the critical point is reached, the current situation will immediately change!

The female witcher holding a spear was forced back by the demon's tail. She turned to look at Rhine and suddenly said: "Master, the demon has begun to turn evil!"

She was obviously reminding Rhine to make an idea as soon as possible. However, the moment the witcher opened her mouth, Victor saw clearly that the neat teeth in her mouth were falling out one after another, and then there were sharp teeth sticking out.

This means that the female witcher has a higher degree of distortion!

Rhine, who was originally on guard next to him, looked particularly solemn at this moment. He gripped the giant sword tightly, frowned and looked at the cave on the left, and then looked at the shadow on the right, where Victor and Harvey were lurking.

"Why don't you take action, the white-haired boy? Come on, come up and fight!" Harvey, whose eyesight was not as good as Victor's, complained through gritted teeth, but did not see the hesitation on Rhine's expression.

Victor has excellent eyesight. He can see Rhine's entanglement and difficulties even from a distance of more than a hundred meters and in an underground cave with poor lighting. At this moment, he realized that the witcher could give up the hunt and choose to retreat, leaving a powerful monster to the bystanders.

No, the onlookers with ulterior motives should be left to the abyss demon who is at the critical point of distortion!

White-haired Rhine may have a trump card to deal with the demons in the abyss, but the problem is that in addition to the demons, there are also a group of outsiders with ulterior motives hidden here. Rhine must have thought carefully before making the final decision.

On the other hand, in order to cope with the demon hunter's attack, the demon has changed from lying on all fours to walking upright, thereby freeing his arms, strengthening the defense on both sides of his body, and diversifying his attack methods.

However, it moves slower.

Four-legged beasts run much more easily than two-legged humanoids.

Previously, Victor discovered that Harvey could not catch up with the four-legged demon monster even if he ran with all his strength, and the demon hunter's moving speed was second only to the demon monster. But now the situation has changed. The demon hunters want to leave, but the two-legged demon monster cannot catch up. Harvey is also very likely to get rid of the demon monster, because the group of adventurers is the slowest, and the demon really wants to chase half of them. The elf also chased the adventurer who was slower than Harvey first.

In this case, Victor no longer had any worries. He immediately stood up from the shadow where he was hiding and said loudly: "Rhine! If you need help, we can help you deal with this monster!"

Harvey didn't know what Victor wanted to do, but he came to his master's side without any hesitation and looked to him as his leader.

The white-haired Rhine looked over with cold eyes. Although Victor said something nice, his feet remained motionless and he stood firmly in place. One look showed that he didn't really want to help at all.

"But..." Victor paused and continued to speak loudly: "There are eleven people hiding on the other side. I don't know whether they are enemies or friends... So, I advise you to run away quickly. , if you can run away now."

This sentence has reached Rhine's heart. The monster in front of him is more difficult than he expected. He actually forced the three female hunters to release the second level of evil power, but they still couldn't take it down. You know, in terms of combat power alone, any of the three female hunters is much more powerful than Rhine. If they continue to liberate evil forces, the cost will be huge, and it is hard to say whether they can return to normal in the future.

Of course, Rhine does possess some powerful secret skills for dealing with demons, but the conditions for releasing them are quite stringent, and there must be no interference from foreign enemies during the process.

Judging from the looks of Victor and Harvey, it was clear that they were not prepared to help at all, and the other group of adventurers were also sneaky. From this, Rhine judged that the hunt could be abandoned.

Although an evil ancestral monster would bring disaster to the residents of Water Snake Town, even if he risked his life and that of his companions, it would not help. It was better to save himself first and then think of other ways. .

Rhine kindly reminded Victor and also reminded another group of adventurers: "This monster has begun to turn evil. It is about to suffer from thirst and blood thirst. It can only survive by sucking the blood of half-elves. If we give up the siege now Monsters, choose to evacuate, can you run away?"

As far as movement speed is concerned, Victor, who has the blessing of wind movement talent, is more confident than everyone present and this demon. The wind movement talent can even bring Harvey with him, which also greatly increases his movement speed.

Victor laughed and said loudly: "As long as I am not the slowest one! I guess you are not the slowest either."

The noise of the battle between demons and demon hunters was loud, but it could not cover up the shouts of Victor and Rhine, at least it could be heard by professionals with keen hearing.

Sure enough, the adventurers who were peeping in the dark finally couldn't hide anymore, and a loud voice came, "We don't have to run fast, we just need to kill this monster!"

Then, ten vigorous figures formed a tight formation that was both offensive and defensive and walked out quickly. Their equipment is very sophisticated, with four shield guards at the front, wearing a full set of hard leather armor with a mail chest protector, holding a large fine iron shield and a one-handed heavy axe. They are completely dressed like heavy infantry.

Behind the shield guard are three professional swordsmen, wearing full-body leather armor and holding long-handled axes, also known as two-handed halberds. They are heavy weapons and full of lethality.

The four archers dispersed in a fan shape and walked at the end of the team, carrying bows, quivers on their backs, and two swords hanging on their waists. Each of them had eyes as sharp as an eagle.

The shield guards are in the front row responsible for protecting their comrades and breaking through the formation; the professional swordsmen put pressure on the enemy, wait for opportunities, find the enemy's weaknesses, and then kill them with one blow; the archers support their teammates with bows and arrows in the rear to assist in the attack. , defense, and can also cover retreat.

The personal strength of the half-elf adventurers is not as good as that of the barbarian raiders, and their numbers are not as good as that of the orc bone collectors. The reason why they can gain a foothold in adventure activities is that they rely on well-trained training, well-equipped equipment, and most importantly, tactics. Collaboration. What's more, the four shield guards among this group of adventurers are exceptionally tall and burly, walking with a faint sense of power, and their eyes are all yellow vertical pupils.

Victor repeatedly confirmed the strangeness of the Shield Guard, looked shocked, and whispered: "It's a dragoon!"
