The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 121 Monsters Slaughtered
Lin En hesitated for less than a second before making his choice.

He first took a few steps back.

Then he jumped out of the boat in one breath.

It fell on the head of the giant octopus, which, even after catching one person, was unwilling to let go of more delicious corpses that fell into the water.

This beast is incredibly large. An ordinary octopus would never be able to grow this big.

Even if this is a magical world.

Because no matter how big the Pontar River is, it cannot accommodate such a large octopus.

But Lynn is not a scholar from Oxburgh University, nor is he a monster enthusiast like Dorrigare.

The witcher didn't need any words to slow him down.

He just silently drew out the master-level silver sword and stabbed it into the octopus monster's head before the octopus monster swung its tentacles to knock him away.

The intense pain stimulated all the tentacles of the giant octopus, causing them to twitch as if they were electrocuted, slapping the surface of the river.

Lynn gripped the hilt of the master-level silver sword tightly with both hands.

Stir vigorously and then stroke.

More blood spread underwater, dyeing the river red.

Bang!
A thick tentacle swept over with terrifying momentum.

It hit the witcher hard.

Lynn is fine.

But the master-level Quen shield that appeared around him was shattered into pieces by this blow.

From this, we can imagine what terrible consequences would befall an ordinary person if he were hit by this attack.

Lin En stepped hard on the octopus monster's head, used the force to pull out the master-level silver sword, and at the same time stuffed a high-level Dragon Dream bomb into it.

He held his breath and dived into the water.

Then he snapped his fingers.

The Igni Sign lit the fuse of the High Dragon's Dream bomb.

The head of the giant octopus monster, which was so arrogant just now, exploded like a watermelon at this moment.

All the tentacles that were frantically whipping the water surface stiffened instantly.

Finally, the giant octopus's body began to sink slowly.

……

Losley had no idea what was going on.

After being dragged underwater, he struggled desperately.

But underwater, he couldn't breathe and could only hold his breath, and his struggles became weaker and weaker.

Just when he was about to give up.

The tentacles that had been tied around his waist suddenly loosened.

Then he felt a hand pulling him towards the surface of the water.

His eyes were tightly closed.

He tried to open his eyes.

But I just can't open it.

He was led to swim in a certain direction, and then a rope was tied around his waist.

next moment.

An upward pull carried him out of the water.

Then came the strength of many hands.

He was thrown over the bulwarks and onto the deck.

His body was covered in river water, mud, waterweed and blood.

It was only at this time that he was finally able to open his eyes.

He saw the sailors gathered around him.

And the young witcher who saved his life.

……

Soon after the giant octopus appeared, the pirates besieging the barge fled in panic, like mice seeing a cat.

The survivors finally got a chance to catch their breath.

The sailors who were less seriously injured, after having their wounds bandaged hastily, quickly drove the barge and left the waters before the pirates returned.

The more seriously injured sailors were carried into the cabin along with their captain, Losley.

The situation in Loxley is not optimistic.

When the giant octopus strangled his waist with its tentacles, the suction cups on the tentacles tore a large number of shocking wounds on his waist.

Even after applying medicine and bandages, blood still seeped out.

What's more serious is that after being rescued to the deck, Losley was briefly conscious, but since then he has fallen into a coma and has a high fever.

There was no doctor or sorcerer on the barge, and they could only find someone to treat their captain if they reached the floating harbor.

But the fastest way from where they are now to the floating port is half a day.

And Losley obviously couldn't wait that long.

In the end, Lin En had no choice but to give Losley a bottle of high-level swallow potion with a desperate attitude.

Swallow Potion is the mildest of all witcher potions.

The toxicity of the advanced swallow potion is further reduced compared to the ordinary swallow potion.

But even so, it could still be fatal.

But Losley was lucky.

The side effects of the potion did not show up on him.

He actually made it through.

However, after the previous battle, the sailors had suffered heavy casualties and were extremely war-weary, so it was obviously impossible to complete the voyage.

Therefore, Losley decided to take all the passengers to the floating port and refund them the excess fare.

As a transit point on the Pontar River, the floating port made it easy for them to find a captain willing to take them on their journey.

As for the boat fare for Lynn and his dwarf companions, it was fully refunded by Losley.

He personally added some extra gold coins to the refunded shipping fees.

As a thank you for the witcher's life-saving grace and the dwarves' heroic fighting on the ship.

……

Most of the day later.

evening.

"I hate the woods, and the bugs."

Percival muttered, swatting a mosquito that was sucking blood from his nose.

This caused the dwarves nearby to burst into laughter.

Compared to them, the surviving sailors couldn't laugh at all.

Because Fugang is located in a dense forest.

The barge sailed on the Pontar River in the forest, just like sailing inside a huge monster.

The lush forests on both sides of the river could, at any moment, be shot with the elves' hateful arrows.

That's why the sailors were nervous.

However, this did not happen in the end.

The barge slowly docked at a pier.

The sailors placed a thick wooden step between the side of the ship and the dock.

They helped the wounded off the barge, including Losley, who was wrapped in thick bandages and had a pale and bloodless face.

Only after they had all disembarked did it come the passengers' turn to walk behind.

Looking at the towering trees surrounding them, most of the passengers showed expressions of fear.

For them, who were used to living in towns and villages, it was hard to imagine how humans could survive in this forest.

The floating harbor is not far from the pier.

The guards had spotted them long ago.

Since the Sons of Liberty of this era were not as rampant and frequent as the later Scoia'tael, people's hostility towards non-human races was not as deep.

After checking everyone's identities, the guards let them pass.

No one was troubled, including the dwarves.

Yarpan, Zoltan and other dwarves were clamoring to go to the tavern to have a drink first.

As for Lin En, he went to find the mayor of Fugang alone.

Because he heard it from one of the passengers.

The mayor who manages the floating harbor has offered a high bounty to the octopus monster and pirates who are endangering the Pontar River.

As a result, when he was sitting in the mayor's office, he realized that the passenger must have had some misunderstanding about the word "very high".

The two bounties combined only amounted to one thousand orens.

In other words, if we only killed the giant octopus, or only drove away the pirates...

That's only five hundred orens.

Not even a hundred kroner.

It's really pitifully little.

Lynn took out five hundred orens and gave them to Losli, his sailors, and dwarves such as Yarpan as the reward for expelling the pirates.

He himself only wanted the five hundred orens that represented the cost of killing the octopus monster.
