Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1512 1484. Bull-Headed Ghost

A hungry ghost was squatting on the ground. Its two skinny claws were constantly grabbing things from a human corpse on the ground and stuffing them into the ghost's mouth, which was mumbling something.

The evil ghost's skinny body and misshapen, swollen head blocked the view from behind.

However, this unknown monster hunter was already familiar with the place and had almost instinctively associated it with the scene there.

The human corpse was ripped open and the evil ghost was stuffing everything in the corpse into his mouth.

Human flesh, the foul filth in the intestines, the foul fluid in the kidneys.
For the hungry ghosts who are suffering in the hungry ghost realm, these things are delicacies.

The only thing that comforted the demon hunter was that this man should have died before being eaten by the hungry ghost.

This was both a slight relief that the victim's death was not so painful, and also a relief for oneself that one would not have to face a difficult enemy.

Because a hungry ghost that has eaten the essence of living things will not appear in this original appearance.

The monster hunter's straw sandals stepped on the muddy ground, and the squeezing of moisture caused the soles of the shoes to make a "crackling" sound.

The hungry ghost immediately turned his head with alertness and excitement!

It opened its arms wide, with the corpse's intestines hanging on its claws. The yellow and green filth in the intestines flowed down its arms, emitting a strong stench.

It rushed over with a squeaking noise, as if it wanted to hug the monster hunter and start biting him!
If it were an ordinary person, he would most likely be like the militiaman that Lan En saw at night, frightened to the point of his legs going limp by the image of a hungry ghost and the foul aura of the underworld on his body.

But demon hunters are professionals.

"drink!"

The sword at his waist had been unsheathed at some point.

The well-proportioned and powerful arm had already raised the hilt of the knife high, and with a loud roar from the dantian, a spherical air wave spread outward with the demon hunter as the center!
【Sword Energy】!
Just at the right moment, the boundary of [Sword Energy] collided head-on with the hungry ghost rushing towards it!

This Qi-based technology, when used on humans, will only make people feel that their physical strength has dropped suddenly, but it can be mostly recovered after taking a few breaths.

It is very suitable for seizing the fleeting opportunity in a sword fight.

But when used on monsters, the effect seems to be even more outstanding.

Under the [Sword Energy], the demonic energy was just like human physical strength and was suddenly consumed!
But compared to humans, whose physical strength is consumed quickly but recovered quickly, the demonic aura of monsters is very stubborn.

Except for some particularly explosive techniques, none of their actions seem to consume any demonic energy at all.

The evil spirit just permeates around them, polluting the human world.

But at the same time, it is more difficult for the demonic energy to recover, and it must be communicated and absorbed from the underworld.

Once it is worn away, it cannot be easily recovered!
Hungry ghosts are not powerful characters and their evil spirits are very shallow.

The monster hunter's [Sword Qi] directly hit it on the head and exhausted all its strength!
The entire deformed body seemed to have been hit by a stick. It staggered backwards, making random noises.

He tripped over a stone on the road and rolled on the ground with his head before he finally calmed down.

The demon hunter didn't even make the slightest mistake in his pace.

In one second he drew his sword, in this second he exhaled and made a sound to release [Sword Qi], and in the next second he just kept walking forward.

Just when he passed by the hungry ghost whose demonic energy was exhausted by the [Sword Energy], he turned the sword in his hand upside down and stabbed it straight down!
‘Pfft’ sound.

It was like the sound of a knife piercing through thick cowhide.

The tip of the sword stabbed from its bony back to its glowing belly.

The monster hunter was already accustomed to dealing with monsters, creatures whose vitality was far stronger than that of humans. Before drawing his sword, he gripped the handle and cut hard.

The hungry ghost had a fist-sized wound on his back caused by the blade.

Compared to the sound of the blade entering the flesh just now, the sound of the blade being pulled out was much lighter because of the expansion of the wound.

By the time the demon hunter had completely passed by the hungry ghost, this monster from the underworld had turned into a pool of dispersing black smoke.

Only a few golden spots of light emerged from the hungry ghost's deformed and swollen belly, floating away like young swallows returning to their nests.

Faintly, through the cover of her shawl, it seemed to fall into something on her lower back and disappeared.

The demon hunter was so calm about this scene that he didn't even bother to look at it.

Just walk straight to the gap in the village.

At this time, after a long standoff at the entrance of the village, it was already approaching night. By the time the main gate was completely breached and the demon hunters arrived, it was already completely dark.

The forest that was lush and full of life during the day now only had a dark and gloomy look.

The river flowing through the village also makes people feel that it has a dangerous undercurrent.

The cemetery is already full of gloomy energy, and the tombstones and grave mounds at this time make people subconsciously quiet down, for fear of causing any noise and waking up some monster.

The main part of the village in the distance was filled with a red glow, the light from the burning wooden houses reflected in the sky.

The happy and excited howls of the bandits and the cries of the villagers blended together, but seemed to be far away on the horizon.

The demon hunter's eyes suddenly became stern!
She wasn't completely late!

This village can still be saved!

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and the demon hunter's attention was attracted by something else.

"Boom, boom"

"Clang, clang." The heavy footsteps shook the monster hunter who was standing at the gap and had not yet entered the cemetery. He felt the ground beneath his feet was shaking.

Along with the footsteps, there was the sound of a heavy and large piece of iron being dragged across the ground.

Under the moonlight that was almost bleak with the light of fire and the smell of blood, walking among the Thirteen Sakura Village was a gigantic bull-headed monster!
Even with its back hunched, it was still at least eight or nine meters tall! In its hand was a mace that was almost as long as itself, dragging behind it.

The same gigantic warrior armor was hung on his body, with a ring in his nose, and a pair of golden crystal-like horns raised high into the sky!

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face and body were also red, as if he had been burned over a large area and then healed, with his muscles randomly stuck together and covered with each other.

And in the cracks of the skin and flesh, some golden crystals were exposed as if they were bulging out of the body.

Big monster!
At least it's a big monster that can summon [Eternal Darkness]!
The azure light in the eyes above the demon hunter's mask became even brighter!
She was sure of that immediately.

However, after a slight hesitation, the demon hunter still looked around and then walked into the cemetery that was shaking slightly due to the footsteps of the Minotaur.

It seemed that the evil spirit of the monster made her eyes shine brighter, and at the same time the power affected her mentality, making her more excited.

A big monster is a big monster! [Eternal Dark] is [Eternal Dark]!
It’s not like she hasn’t killed before!
There are still survivors in the village, she can't be stopped here!
Compared to the footsteps of the Minotaur, the movements of mere humans are like the flapping of mosquito wings.

However, the bull-headed ghost, which was wandering aimlessly in the cemetery and letting out long roars from time to time, seemed to have sensed something. Its body, which was originally walking around randomly, first stopped and then turned in the direction where the demon hunter was coming.

Although the human's movement was small, this naked and unconcealed fighting spirit and murderous intent really stimulated the Bull-Headed Ghost's confused consciousness!

Without any hesitation, the Minotaur let out a long cry: "Moo!"

Two streams of hot white smoke spurted out of the nostrils with a nose ring, and the huge mace that was originally lazily dragged in his hand was suddenly clenched tightly by it and was pulled to the ground!
The ground beneath a grave was completely turned over!

Under the eerie moonlight, the beautiful figure of the unknown demon hunter is reflected.

Her figure and attainments in martial arts, even the drawing of the sword while walking, seem rhythmic.

On the opposite side, the minotaur's nearly human-shaped feet were already plowing the ground like a bull before charging.

The man and the demon were rapidly closing the distance between each other! They were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat!

But at this moment!
"Wait! Qilin, turn the corner! This guy is not a monster!"

A man's voice suddenly sounded in the air behind the demon hunter, and mixed with it was a terrifyingly sharp and rapid sound of breaking through the air!

In just a moment, the pupils of the demon hunter's eyes above the mask suddenly shrank!
"This kind of sound of breaking through the air?! If it hits me, it will be...!"

The monster hunter estimated that the minotaur in front of her, which had already lowered its head and rubbed its feet on the ground, would not be as scary as the thing behind her!

But luckily.

In a hurry, the demon hunter had no energy to listen to what the man said.

But after that male voice sounded, the thing that made the demon hunters' hair stand on end actually turned a tiny angle at the last moment.

It almost brushed past her fur collar!
The shadow of that thing was snow-white with some sky blue.

The strong wind caused by the speed alone made the monster hunter a little unsteady!
Judging from the previous angle, this collision should have directly collided her with the Minotaur not far away.

But because of the wrong angle, the rapidly moving object didn't hit anyone. Instead, the ground and tombstones of the cemetery were torn into pieces along a line like pieces of paper!

The place where the Bull-Headed Ghost stood had a river flowing through the village behind him.

This thing made a loud bang and crashed into the underwater riverbed on the other side of the river!
The water splashed more than 20 meters high! In the meantime, there was also a muffled explosion sound as if there were explosives stuffed in the mud of the riverbed!

To be honest, at this speed, the demon hunter would be able to handle it in a head-on battle.

But the opponent's way of attack was too perfect.

There was absolutely no warning, and nothing too close.

In the perception of the demon hunter, it was equivalent to appearing suddenly! And when it appeared, it was already at this speed!
There's not even a process to increase the speed!
There must be something wrong with her reaction to this!
Immediately, cold sweat broke out from the monster hunter's pores.

My face felt a little chilly, probably because the mask was blown away by the wind.

At this moment, the monster hunter immediately discovered that there seemed to be a figure flying down from the thing that was trying to hit him.

He was a man who was much larger than an ordinary man, with dazzling silver hair and beautiful features.

There was an apologetic look on his face, and under the moonlight, his face was so beautiful that even the monster hunters were a little dazzled.

But the next moment.
"bass!"

The two swords reflected the cold moonlight, like a thread of silk, leaving two afterimages!

He raised both swords together and stabbed at the opponent fiercely!

The unknown demon hunter's way of dealing with the world is simple to the point of being crude - she has compassion for others, and is willing to use her own power to help others and prevent tragedy.

But in this chaotic Warring States period, if someone showed murderous intentions towards her, she would respond decisively without a moment's hesitation!
Just like the King of Mercy conquering the devil!

And in the next moment, there was a "click" and the sound of metal colliding was heard!
Lan, who had just landed from the Qilin's back, raised his foot and, at a precise and subtle time, used Smaug's boots to step directly on the two katanas that were put together and stabbed at him.

With a push of the sole of his boot, the two knives' originally parallel stabbing routes were pressed to create an intersection, and he stepped accurately on that intersection and pressed the knives to the ground.

Completed the suppression of two knives with one foot.

As for himself, he looked at the demon hunter who stabbed him twice with surprise and apology.
