Pale Emblem

Chapter 130 The Eternal Sleeper Arrives

The luminous moss exudes a cold, pale light. The underground cave is not completely dark, but even a small amount of dim yellow light can make Victor see things as if it were daytime.

The battle was finally over, leaving behind a mess, including broken underground umbrella mushrooms, broken stalactites, and a tattered giant monster with its body and head separated.

The surroundings became much quieter. Deathclaw's Dragon Vein Shield guards all knelt on the ground, vomiting black water. They're really strong and will have no problem being tortured repeatedly by Riot Blood. The other adventurers were not so lucky. They were all lying on the ground unable to move and could only breathe. Moreover, their faces were haggard and their bodies had shrunk at least twice. Fortunately, they were all still alive.

After all, the blood of riot aims to absorb the flesh and blood essence of the victim to the maximum extent, and does not aim to kill the victim.

As long as the adventurer is alive and his body is not disabled, he can probably recover if he can find some secret medicine and take it later.

Now, they are so weak that they can't even hold weapons. Even though the Dragon Vein Shield Guard's recovery ability is amazing, without teammates to provide tactical cooperation, it is difficult to threaten Victor and Harvey.

At this moment, Victor did not need to consider the Deathclaw adventure team. He only made his request to the demon hunter Rhine, "I want to take away the few barrels over there. Do you have any objections?"

"We only want the corpse of the monster. The rest has nothing to do with us. You can do whatever you want." Rhine said.

Victor whistled, and for the first time a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Victor had helped Rhine and his three women a lot, and now Rhine wanted to show some kindness to him. The simplest way to repay him was to let Victor take what he wanted, to get rid of the monsters. The body cannot be given, and nothing else matters.

As for the Deathclaw adventure team, they didn't accomplish much and almost killed the demon hunter.

If these laymen hadn't been watching and then forced themselves into the battle, Rhine would have used his extraordinary power to kill the monster early on, without giving it a chance to use his powers.

Until now, Rhine was both scared and a little annoyed. The previous agreement with the Deathclaw Adventure Team had to be cancelled. At least, Rhine would not protect the interests of the evildoers.

"It will take some time for us to deal with the corpse of the monster. You should also solve your own problems." Rhine directly issued an expulsion order to Victor.

He is still in a weak stage and is unwilling to continue dealing with Victor.

Frankly speaking, Victor was deeply impressed by the extraordinary performance of the witcher in killing the monster at the end. And there are too many incredible things about them. Whether it is Rhine himself or the three cold female witchers, they all arouse Victor's strong curiosity.

Victor wanted to talk to Rhine more, but the three female witchers protected Rhine in the middle. The armor on their bodies was all broken in the battle, revealing their delicate and white skin that even the dim cave seemed to be a little brighter, as well as their slender and flexible waists, slender and well-proportioned legs, round and strong buttocks, and plump and straight breasts. Breasts, all prove that they are stunningly beautiful.

However, these three beauties had no intention of covering their bodies. They each held weapons and assumed a defensive posture.

Harvey next to Victor ignored the infinite beauty shown by the female witcher and faced them with fierce eyes.

The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense, and they were ready to start fighting at any time.

Neither Harvey nor the Witcher is normal, and general ethics and morals seem to have nothing to do with them.

Rhine thought that since the ladies had removed their evil traits and returned to the appearance of half-elf women, it would be inappropriate to be naked like this. Victor and his men should take the initiative to avoid them and not stare at them all the time.

Of course, Harvey and the Witcher were wary of each other, and Rhine understood. After all, in Harvey's eyes, the female witcher is equal to a monster. The female witchers are afraid of Harvey's powerful force. In order to protect the weak male master, they must be careful.

The person who really made Rhine feel uncomfortable was actually Victor. This guy also ignored the female witcher's beauty and stared directly at the implanted crystal on Rhine's chest. His eyes were full of pure curiosity, and he looked very stupid.

Rhine had no choice but to squeeze out from the pink arms and legs that surrounded him, picked up the leather armor on the ground and put it on his body, completely blocking the crystal on his chest.

Victor felt a little regretful, but he also knew that the secrets about Rhine could not be understood with the naked eye, so he had to ask him. Whether he would reveal it or not was another matter.

"Uh, Harvey, go to the small trailer over there and find some clothes for some ladies to wear." Victor tried to establish a relationship with Rhine, starting with the women around him.

Harvey rarely agreed and said bluntly: "Sir, there are many of them. You can send one person to find clothes. I want to stay here to protect you!"

Rhine nodded and motioned to the female companion beside him to get some clothes. A female hunter with short hair immediately turned around and ran to the trailer, rummaged through a pile of clothes and returned to distribute them to the other female companions.

Those clothes were originally the skirts of the mayor's wife, but after the female witcher put them on, they turned out to be surprisingly beautiful, fully displaying the softness of the female figure, and even the tense atmosphere was relieved.

"Rhine, I have a few questions to ask you." Victor took the opportunity to speak.

"Wait a minute, we still have a lot of things to deal with. We don't have time to listen to your nagging, and we have no obligation to answer any questions!" Based on an intuition, Rhine immediately interrupted Victor's question and decisively refused.

Victor felt depressed, but he still controlled his temper, thought for a moment, and then said: "At the party at the mayor's mansion, you expressed your intention to tell me the information about the Wolf Shepherd. We can talk first this……"

"Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, I'm sure!"

The two of them were still fighting here. A dragon-blooded half-elf from the Deathclaw adventure team slowly came over to ask for help. He said in a low voice: "Demon Hunter, several of my companions were injured and are now unconscious. Can you help us?" Situation. If you can save them, we Deathclaw are willing to pay..."

After the four dragon-veined half-elves vomited the black water, they each got up and went to look after the unconscious professional companions. They moved them to a place first, and then sent one person to ask the demon hunter for help.

"We are not doctors and do not know how to treat ordinary people's injuries," Rhine said.

The dragon pulse man suddenly became angry and said in a sullen voice: "We did this just to help you..."

"Idiot, don't you understand? Demon hunters themselves can resist or heal the damage caused by monsters. You dragon veins can also survive it. But if ordinary professionals are injured by monsters, they can't help! Demon hunters are not ordinary professions This is something you should be involved in!" Victor yelled, and finally said impatiently: "Get away!"

The Dragon Vein Shield guard clenched his fists in anger. As Harvey turned his solemn gaze, he could only take a deep breath and turned around angrily to leave.

The Deathclaw adventure team had seen Harvey's combat prowess and determined that he was a powerful mirror-centered warrior. If the Death Claw team can still maintain a relatively complete tactical formation, even if the manpower is reduced by half, it will be enough to suppress the opponent. However, their professional swordsmen and archers are all unconscious now. There is really no good way to defeat Harvey with only four single-means Dragon Vein Shield guards.

After driving away the annoying guy, Victor's mood finally improved. He was about to continue testing with words, but suddenly he found the monster's fallen head crawling on the ground! Before, the monster's head fell off with its neck. Now, the monster's neck has unknowingly grown many times longer, reaching 1.5 meters. After careful observation, it can be found that several wriggling fleshy tendrils protrude from the fracture of the elongated neck cavity. They were entangled with each other for a while, and then crawled separately, with the monster head spinning around. The scene looked particularly scary and disgusting.

Victor finally opened his eyes and couldn't help asking: "What is this thing? Is it not dead yet?"

The demon hunter was not surprised by this and said: "It's the 'snake touch'... After the monster dies, its flesh, bones, internal organs, various tissues and organs, and even skin will turn into living solid tendrils. They It looks like a snake, but it has no head or tail and looks like tentacles, so it is called snake touch.”

"Snake touch...oh, it does look like that."

Victor nodded and asked impatiently: "I heard the adventurer tell you before that the body of monsters has no fatal weaknesses or vital parts. Is it because the various organs and tissues of their bodies are actually made of snakes? "

"……It can be said like this."

"I have another question!"

"Mr. Victor, we don't have time to answer your questions. The snakes here will die soon. We have to hurry up and collect the valuable parts. You can also go about your own business. Do you understand?" Lai Yiyi Said eloquently.

Victor's eyes flashed, but he still managed not to lose his temper. Now, the Deathclaw adventure team is no longer able to compete with him for the Life Distortion Potion, but the Demon Hunter's strength is not trivial. Just looking at Harvey's nervous look, he knew that if he really offended Rhine, the consequences would be dire. After all, the three female witchers are all demonic half-elves who are good at fighting.

Although the curiosity of the wind element affinity was very strong and the mood was changeable, Victor's mind was the most agile at the moment. He only had a second thought and decided to dig out the mayor's wife from the rubble first.

The mayor's wife, Christine, a demonic half-elf, was not killed in the conflict. She was just treated as a stone by the mayor of Oxtail Village and hit the demon hunter hard, and then she was buried in the rubble. She must have been seriously injured at the time, and there was no movement. When the battle ended, the surrounding environment became quieter, and Victor's sensitive hearing caught her thin breathing again. It was certain that the mayor's wife's body had been repaired and she was gradually getting better. .

The most valuable thing in Water Snake Town is the mayor's wife, Christine. She is as beautiful as a flower and is priceless. Whoever masters Christine can continuously create life distortion potions and open up a new field of secret medicine!

Mayor Middleton recorded in the experiment log that two organs and tissues in Christine's body were not contaminated by demon flesh and blood. One was the brain, and the other was that the intact reproductive system was retained.

Demons and half-elves coexist in the same body. In order to maintain this fragile balance and prevent the pollution of demon flesh and blood from affecting the whole body, Christine must give birth to new life. If she never gives birth to a child, the entire reproductive system will be infiltrated and polluted by the demon's flesh and blood, eventually causing the body to become unbalanced and collapse; but if she does give birth to a child, the fetus in her belly will not be reborn after childbirth, but will continue to devour Christine. The essence of flesh and blood, and then a real abyss demon was born from the remains of the mother's body.

The half-elf's womb contains the embryo of a demon.

Therefore, Middleton will forcefully remove the demon embryo from Christine's belly in advance, and then use the demon embryo as material to create a life distortion potion.

Christine's life is so miserable. Even if she has high research value, Victor cannot exploit her as inhumanely as Middleton did.

Victor never regarded Christine as his target from the beginning to the end. He just wanted to take away the life distortion potion that was used as little as possible.

Another reason, besides being pitiable, is that Christine is particularly dangerous. She always goes out of her way to seduce the men around her and then manipulate their desires for fun. Mayor Middleton can also be said to have died at the hands of Christine.

He spends all day with the demon-born half-elf who controls desires, how could he end up well?

The mastermind behind the taboo experiment probably considered Christine's hidden dangers, so he did not keep such precious experimental materials close to him, but placed them in the remote Water Snake Town.

To abduct Christine, not only must she be careful about herself, but she will also be pursued and intercepted by the masterminds behind the scenes, such as sending a team of Deathclaw adventurers equipped with dragoons.

The four dragoons pretended to take care of their unconscious comrade and lingered beside them. Didn't they want to wait for the opportunity to capture Christine and send them to the top?

Victor certainly can't take Christine away, but he can dig her out and sell her to the witchers without them paying, as long as he patiently answers a few of his questions.

"Harvey, come here and help." Victor did what he said and called his capable men to dig gravel together.

At this time, one eye on the monster's head suddenly opened. For some unknown reason, it regained its consciousness before it died completely. However, it found itself in this miserable state. Knowing that death was irreversible, it used The broken voice issued a final vicious curse: "You killed me... despicable half-demon, stupid mortal, you made a big mistake... I will never forgive you!"

"O God of eternal sleep, I offer my soul here to ask you to wake up!"

"...please come!"

"...Please open your eyes!"

"...Look at the enemies who killed me!"

"...They are the sacrifices I prepared for you, come on, enjoy their flesh and blood, and absorb their souls!"

The roaring curse of the Oxtail Village Chief before his death was weak and weird. After all, it only had one head left, and the rest of the body did not belong to it. However, as the curse ended, with a "pop" sound, the monster's last head exploded, and a large mass of snakes exploded out of it.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, probably thinking:

"That's it?!"

Soon, they discovered some abnormalities.

"Something's wrong, the light is dimming!"

"It's getting darker, and the ground seems to be shaking..."

Victor was the first to sense the source of the abnormality. He said with fear and a little excitement: "The light has not dimmed, it is a shadow... The shadow under the monster's corpse is expanding. There is no vibration on the ground. The vibration comes from the monster's corpse. internal."

The monster stood nearly four meters tall and weighed more than a ton. Even though Rhine had used extraordinary means to kill a hole in its chest, the remaining body was still huge. However, when it fell to the ground, the shadow under it did not expand. However, the shadow was indeed expanding now, just like a dark spring gushing up from the bottom of the body, and then spreading silently, giving people an unreal feeling, as if the monster's shadow connected to another space, and the darkness inside was entering reality.

Rhine's half-closed eyes suddenly widened. He thought of something and said in disbelief: "This...is this the power of shadow?! Is there a real abyss demon?"

The dizzy shadow of darkness revealed a particularly obvious evil and filthy aura. It spread to a certain extent, suddenly shrank, and almost instantly squeezed into the remains of the monster. Immediately afterwards, countless snakes broke out from the wreckage and rushed into the air like a fountain. They squirmed crazily, multiplied, split, entangled, merged, and differentiated. In a dense rain of whipping sounds, they turned into a bearded monster that was even bigger than the monster!

After the snake's touch absorbs the shadow, the resulting monster has not yet fully formed. It is like a hill covered with fleshy tendrils, and its size alone is suffocating. Its head was not yet fully differentiated, but it opened a huge one eye first, looking down at every half-elf with a greedy and evil gaze that seemed to be able to suck away people's souls.

When the evil one-eye glanced at Victor's body, it froze instantly. The widening movement of the eye tore the flesh and blood tentacles, and a completely differentiated eye emerged from the one-eye, with an extremely black sclera and a pale golden broken pupil. .

"I saw...the soul of the ancient abyss king!?"
