Chapter 373 You Know Nothing About the Truth of the World

Ningen.

A small town standing not far from the trade route.

In the bustling tavern, an adventurer wearing old-style armor walked in with a bag of dragon scales and slapped the stuff on the table.

"Oops, failed again?"

The bartender, who was also an employee of the Adventurer's Guild, counted the scales and exchanged them for bread to give to the adventurers.

"Yes."

The adventurer named Dam sat on a wooden chair, took off his helmet, revealing his scarred face, picked up a glass of leftover malt beer, and gulped it down.

He wiped his lips and smiled brightly, which was inconsistent with the pain revealed by the scars on his face.

"I heard that the Principality's army is coming. Would you like to join the army?"

"No."

Dam refused readily.

"I just accepted a big mission to hunt a golden fighter (Golden Lion) who knows Kung Fu."

“The one who came up from the first floor?”

"There is a team, and I just play a supporting role."

Dam picked up the bread and stuffed it into his bag.

"As long as there are rations, enough to eat and drink, and a place to sleep, isn't this heaven on earth?"

Dam has always been so optimistic.

The bartender heard the guy's stomach growling.

"Hey, you're so hungry, why don't you eat the bread first."

“I’m used to eating at home.”

Dam walked out of the pub.

He is the only adventurer in this town.

A level 2 adventurer, but a lone wolf.

But he is a very nice person.

Dam walked out of the tavern and picked up the cannon placed at the door.

The electromagnetic cannon was more than two meters long. He was just worried about disturbing the people in the tavern, so every time he went to the store, he would put the weapon at the door.

Dam walked alone.

For some reason, the weather was getting colder, white breath came out of his mouth, and he stopped midway.

With a shout of "Hey", he put the big electromagnetic cannon on his back again.

"My foot injury is getting worse again."

Dam limped away into the distance and disappeared into the mist of the town.

The sun shines through the fog.

It shone on the wooden boards of the old hut, casting a layer of cold green light.

Dam walked into the house, his feet stepping on the wooden boards, making a terrible creaking sound.

There was singing coming from the inner room.

The girl's singing is beautiful and melodious.

Dam's ears twitched, he put down his weapon, and walked into the inner room.

The wooden door made an old sound and a smell of blood came out of the room. Dam stood there. The broken body of City Bird lay on the ground. Blood soaked the ceiling and blood spots were on the ground.

The girl turned her head, half of her face facing the sun and the other half hidden in the shadow.

Dark eyes looked at Dam.

His face was expressionless, with blood still smeared at the corners of his mouth.

Dam smiled with relief.

"I told you, you can't eat that kind of thing."

……

Li Nuo and Cha Bai went back to Henry's residence first.

"So fast?"

Henry was shocked when he saw Li Nuo smash the big ○○ of the earth dragon on the grass outside.

"Well, the next one is the Sao Bird." Li Nuo quickly changed his words: "Well, the next one is the Colorful Glass Bird."

People in this world always give monsters some strange names.

At this time, Mr. Victor leaned his head out of the second-floor window and threw out the mask.

Li Nuo raised his hand to catch it.

[Emile's Mask]

【Excellent quality】

[Equipment requirements: Insight 100]

[Attribute bonus: Constitution +10]

[Effect 1: You can view the individual abilities of a single enemy. If the target's level is too high, you can only view five of its ability values. This can be used thirty times per scenario.]

[Effect 2: The frontal defense of the head is increased, and it can withstand the impact of a common 9mm bullet, but this does not mean that you will not be shocked to death]

[Effect 3: Magic particles are stored. There is a separate storage compartment in the mask, which can store any items weighing no more than 300 kilograms, including bound weapons and even creatures (all of the above actions will have a high probability of consuming the durability of the mask)]

[Effect 4: After killing the target, you can record the target's special data]

[Effect 5: You can choose to "hide the helmet"]

[Note: The data display method of specialized characters is different from that of ordinary targets]

[Brief description: The mask is smiling, its original owner is no longer sad]

Emil...

Li Nuo turned the mask over and put it on his face. Now the mask could become transparent with the arc of flame, and theoretically Cha Bai could fit inside it.

He needs to kill a monster to try out "Effect 4".

"Where's the rest?"

"It's still in production, but this mask will be quicker to make."

Henry was sawing the monster's skin outside the house, biting a straw stick.

At this time, Cha Bai from the inner room shouted.

"Come here quickly!"

She was very excited. Although she asked others to come over, she ran out on her own initiative with a long-handled hammer in her hand.

Just now she was drawing random cards in the house.

Now she is responsible for drawing the cards, it all depends on luck.

Li Nuo recognized the hammer in her hand at a glance.

The explosive hammer from Bloodborne.

Henry took the hammer with a smile, and the magic gushing out from his palm covered the surface of the hammer, pulling out a silk thread like a viscous liquid.

“It can be integrated.”

Cha Bai became more and more excited: "Really?"

"You want to add a detonator to your hammer, is that what you mean?" Henry changed his tone: "No, I should say, add something to enhance the power of the heavy blow."

Cha Bai smiled and nodded: "Well, although the previous hammer was modified in the first-floor town, the detonation strength was far worse than I expected."

What she was referring to was Jero's modified axe, which was also equipped with a detonation system, but his axe could lift the ground in one go, while her hammer could only dig a small hole.

There are two reasons.

First, Jero's weapon detonator has been improved, and the installed power bottle is more powerful.

Second, the hardness of the "Vaporwave" world is not as good as that of "Tron Mountain".

"Do not worry."

Henry smiled confidently and naturally.

"Tomorrow, I will give you a hammer as big as a meat grinder."

"Ok!"

Cha Bai's obsession with the hammer is pathological.

Li Nuo sorted out his things, picked up the big bag, mounted the Eagle Dragon, wrapped the reins around his wrists twice, skillfully pulled the safety officer up, and whistled at Cha Bai.

"gone."

Cha Bai nodded, said "thank you" to Henry, then looked at Mr. Victor upstairs and waved.

A cloud of dust rose.

Uncle Henry sorted out the materials left by the two men and touched his chin.

"○○ of the Earth and Space Dragon (Sand Dragon)... the Overlord's Explosive Flame Egg. I just need the last two easiest ingredients... that's it."

He walked upstairs, talking to himself.

Meanwhile, Mr. Victor found a box in the attic.

"That thing is very important to me." Henry stood by the door frame, his tone calm and his face smiling.

"Oh, I'm looking for materials." Victor explained: "Sorry."

"nothing."

Henry opened the box and found a broken hand cannon inside.

"I used that gentleman's blueprint to make the Amster experimental gun."

Victor thought it was Malger's masterpiece, so he didn't say much. It was only after he went down the stairs that he felt something was wrong.

But I just don’t know what’s wrong.

……

The final destination is the city of Sao Bird, which is located in Ningen Town according to the adventurer's mission.

When Li Nuo arrived in Ninggen Town, he felt terrible.

It was the first time that Cha Bai saw his face turn so pale when there was no danger around him, as if all the blood had been drained out.

"Weird."

He tied the eagle dragon's reins outside the tavern.

Chuangjie Mountain has cars, and they also have cars, but cars have their own inconveniences, such as playing BGM, the Vulture Eagle Dragon can sense approaching danger, and the rental is cheap, so there is no problem for Li Nuo to choose this guy.

But when Li Nuo felt strange, the vulture dragon was eating the insects on the ground peacefully.

"Am I overly sensitive?"

"how?"

Chabai asked him.

"nothing……"

Li Nuo's "Hunter" sense of smell is much stronger than his previous sense of alertness. The last time the "Hunter"'s sense of alertness was so outrageous was when it was the Mirror Master.

He said it was nothing, but after just a few steps forward, he suddenly covered his mouth and retched.

Extreme disgust.

There are some extremely horrible things in this town.

Cha Bai was frightened by his appearance.

Li Nuo raised his head and said, "Let's take a look at the hidden BOSS."

Cha Bai checked left and right, and finally pointed at the security guard and asked him to turn around. He also found a dark corner and took out the [Hidden BOSS Location Code] from his chest line.

"No……"

She confirmed again and again.

"There is something moving towards me from hundreds of kilometers away. It should be a golden lion. At least there is none in the town."

Li Nuo: "Definitely."

His voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.

The obsession with strange creatures from demon hunters and bloodborne hunters affects the brain.

There must be a hidden boss, but it's hidden.

Cha Bai lowered his voice and warned: "Go back when you find Sao Niao, don't stay here any longer."

Li Nuo: "Yeah." Dark clouds appeared in the sky and the wind started to blow.

……

The wind blows.

There was an uneasy squeaking sound outside the window.

Dam lowered his head.

The girl clutched the corner of his clothes tightly.

"Are you afraid sometimes?"

Dam took out the food, which was the bread he had just got from the tavern, but the girl shook her head.

"What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"

The girl nodded and pointed to the pool of blood and flesh of the bird on the ground.

"I've told you many times that you can't eat raw food."

Damu spoke earnestly.

"Although I know you are a dragon girl, if you want to survive, you have to disguise yourself as a human."

After hearing this, the dragon girl carefully took the bread, reluctantly put it into her mouth, and chewed it in small bites.

Seeing her like this, Dam felt a little calmer.

Dragon girl.

1% of the dangerous creatures in Chuangjie Mountain are humanoid dragons.

The above statement comes from the Adventurer's Code.

But to date, there has not been a single sighting of a humanoid dinosaur.

Perhaps the witnesses were eaten.

Or maybe...

The so-called one percent is actually this dragon girl.

In any case, from the first time he saw the Dragon Girl, Dam had a feeling that this girl was not "bad".

"Listen, the bread I stockpiled is in a big bag that I keep in the house, along with some jerky."

"You must not hunt monsters anymore. It's very dangerous for you."

"Correct."

"If you are discovered, you will be captured and made into a specimen."

"No matter how strong you are, you will eventually tire in the face of overwhelming numbers and firepower."

Dam wanted to touch the girl's face, just like touching his dead daughter, but he just laughed dryly and watched the dragon girl trying her best to eat the bread.

The dragon girl raised her head, chewing, her dark eyes pointed at him.

Then, she asked in a girlish voice, "You, want to leave?"

Her pronunciation is terrible.

Dam nodded.

"Going on a long journey, ah... not too far."

"When are you coming back?"

"About a week."

"Can you help that... person?"

"What do you mean by 'hum'?"

A picture appeared in Dam's mind. Not long ago, a guy came here looking for bitches.

That guy always makes a "humph" sound.

He broke into the area at that time, and for some reason, the Dragon Girl was very hostile to him. If Damu was not there at the time, Maljie might have been killed.

"After reading the notes of "The Prince and the Village of Remains", that guy said he wanted to save the women in the Village of Remains..."

Dam was recalling, and suddenly something was wrong.

"This seems to be the first time you ask me to do something for you?"

"I, mean..." The Dragon Girl swallowed her saliva: "Go check it out, don't get involved..."

"And then you asked others for help, right?" Dam was still confused: "It seems like you have something on your mind, so you asked me for help."

The Dragon Girl could feel that in the distance, something dangerous and malicious was approaching her.

"I don't have much time left. They are coming to kill me."

When she finished speaking, her voice was so low that it was muffled by the wind outside the window.

And after she said it, she regretted it.

So, just a glare and two breaths later, Dam forgot her last words.

The town's clock tower rang dully.

Dam stood up.

"Then I'm leaving. You should hide yourself well during this time."

"Wait..." The dragon girl called him.

"Anything else?" Dam turned around.

"If, after you come back, I leave, do me another favor."

"Ok?"

"I have a strange memory... I found two 'lights'..."

The Dragon Girl had lost her memory long ago. She only remembered that she had to find something or someone related to the "two lights".

"Well... although I know you have lost your memory, there are too few clues... I'm leaving now. I'll think of a solution when I come back."

The Dragon Girl watched Damu leave.

Finally lowered his head.

"I, also want to become a human..."

……

"City Flirt Bird? He should be dead."

The bartender wiped the glasses.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai were standing opposite the bar.

"died?"

"Well, every time the town bell rings, that guy will howl to the sky." The bartender imitated him and howled "Ah", then said: "That's it."

In other words, I haven't seen that troublesome bird for two days.

"It's better that the guy is dead. He likes to steal things, and recently he has turned to robbery. He bites anyone who doesn't give him what he wants. Four people have died, and as many as 26 have been injured. You know, there are only about 200 people in this town."

The bartender kept talking and putting the wine glasses on the shelf. When he turned around, Li Nuo was holding a portrait of Maljie in front of him.

"Have you seen this person?"

The bartender rolled his eyes upward.

Li Nuo raised his foot and took out a copper coin from the secret compartment in his heel.

"A glass of ale."

“I have seen him.” The bartender was affected by the memory recovery technique. He turned around and poured wine while saying, “Just like you guys, I came to find the City Bird, but I didn’t see that guy later. Maybe he was eaten.”

When he finished speaking, there was no one at the bar.

The door of the tavern creaked open.

Cha Bai looked at the dark clouds in the sky, stretched out his palm and felt the direction of the wind.

A truck carrying adventurers passed by not far away. Li Nuo noticed Dam sitting in the car. He seemed to smell the scent of Maljie at that moment, but it was only a brief flash, and what followed the smell was disgust for the monsters hidden deep in the town.

Cha Bai took off the small bag on her back, took out two lunch boxes and handed them to Li Nuo, and took out a skewer of [Fire Dragon's synthetic meat skewer] from them.

Cha Bai didn't want to eat it, but Li Nuo forced it into his mouth.

[Fire Dragon's Synthetic Meat Skewers: Increases the destructive power of the "fire" attribute]

[Eternal Spirit Sword Bonus: Gain the right to use a random Overlord Male Fire Dragon's skill once]

Cha Bai chewed the skewer reluctantly, puffed his cheeks and asked, "Where can we find him?"

Li Nuo looked at the direction that he hated the most: "There."

Half an hour later, in the woods at the westernmost part of the town.

In front of a cottage.

Li Nuo's disgust reached its peak, and he really smelled the scent of Maljie.

Although a demon hunter's nose is sensitive, it has many limitations. For example, when tracking in the wild, if it has rained, the journey is too long, or the target has been gone for a long time, he will not be able to smell the scent.

There are exceptions.

If you are very familiar with the target's smell and the target has stayed in a closed space for a long time, there is a chance that you can still smell the smell even after a month, but it will be very faint.

He was sure that Maljie was not here now, but he had definitely stayed here.

Li Nuo didn't rush in, but looked deep into the woods.

He smelled the corpse of a monster.

Behind the cabin, he found the bird's body in the mud.

“It’s been eaten.”

"The flesh on his body was violently dismembered, just like in a drama."

Li Nuo picked up a piece of meat from the bird.

"The death occurred no more than four hours ago. There is a lingering fruity scent, a young girl's scent...but..."

Very disgusting smell.

He knew that the thing that made him feel extremely disgusted and even irritated was in the cabin.

Cha Bai, who was standing behind him, paced around to the other side of the room.

Facing a broken window, a linen curtain inside the glass blocked the view inside.

A gust of wind blew and opened the curtains.

Black eyes, long black hair, white clothes, and a girl's face.

Dark room.

The blood-stained floor.

The girl trembled in the room.

Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.

"Come and kill me, huh?"

outside the window.

Cha Bai felt the coldness all around him.

The tactical goggles recorded the little girl's data.

She tried to check.

Suddenly, the goggles became hot, the eyeball became hot, and the right eye exploded!
overload!

Blood splattered, staining the goggles and cheeks, clearly red and white.

She felt no pain because her whole body was shaking.

What kind of creature is that...

"Fool."

Li Nuo put his hand on her shoulder, pulled her back, and flashed in front of her. The cane flashed with silver-white light, and the cane body was burning with blue fire and crystal magic.

The fire was blazing, and in the smoke and dust, Li Nuo was blown away by the recoil of the bullet that was ejected from the house. He jumped several meters away holding Cha Bai, and slid to stop the inertia.

He put the tea down.

A little warm liquid slid into his mouth, and without even looking, Li Nuo knew that his face was disfigured.

The dragon girl's dark eyes pierced through the smoke and dust.

She saw the blue flame on the cane and opened her mouth slightly: "Light...?"

When Li Nuo confronted her, a panel popped up:

[True Hidden World Line: You know nothing about the truth of the world]
