The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

After burying this coffin, Simon walked towards the next coffin without stopping his thoughts.

Continuing to speculate based on the clue that the demon had a cub, he also figured out why the demon did not catch up with him when he escaped at that time.

He thought it was because of luck, but unexpectedly it was thanks to the cub.

The demon was bounced back into the house because of Quinn's seal, and he ran in the opposite direction out of fear.

As he ran away, the demon was obviously afraid of the power of the seal and was worried about his cub, so he let him go in the end.

If it weren't for that cub, the demon might not have been afraid of anything at all.

Thinking of this, Simon's face became even colder. Although he was able to escape because of the cub, it was also because of the cub that their town suffered this disaster.

And by continuing to deduce based on this speculation, we gradually have a clue where the demon is most likely to appear now.

There was no way that demon was going to the big city because it was too dangerous for the cubs.

But the cubs also need a lot of nutrition to grow, so the demon will definitely continue to hunt humans.

Therefore, the best hunting place is a remote town. Every time you feed, you change a town until the demon cub grows up completely!

Although I don't know the devil's feeding cycle, more than half a month has passed. The devil must be unable to hold back and may have already slaughtered another small town!

Thinking of this, Simon stood up and looked to the northwest. As far as he knew, there was also a small town over there, which was even smaller than their town. It would be an exaggeration to call it a town. It was more like a small village.

If the information is correct, that small town is also the target of the demon. If he is a demon, he will definitely choose a closer target. There is no logic or reason to look for other targets.

Thinking of this, Simon threw the last coffin into the pit and buried it quickly.

I hope his speculation is correct and I hope he can catch up.

Chapter 439: Strange Mist

Simon dug up the grave and opened the box to investigate at night, then restored everything to its original state when no one was paying attention. He quickly left the cemetery.

By speculation, he knew where the devil was most likely to appear, but if he wanted to get there, walking would never be as good as taking public transportation.

Before dawn, Simon rushed back to his home and packed up the things he wanted to take away.

All the money must be taken away, you can't do without money.

The investigating police officers will not take away the dead person's belongings at will, not even money. They are only here to investigate, not to act as vultures.

Since this was a house that was attacked by demons, no one wanted to come here, so Simon found everything he needed very easily.

Including but not limited to remaining money, bank cards, ID cards, key chains, some small souvenirs, etc.

Simon moved all the things he needed into the car. Yes, the car that his family drove when they came was still parked here safely, and miraculously there was no problem.

It’s just that they came as a family, but when they left, only one person was left.

When a ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, Simon had packed up everything. He was leaning against the car in a daze, holding a pack of opened cigarettes in his hand.

These are his father's cigarettes. His father likes this brand the most, but he doesn't understand it at all because he doesn't know how to smoke.

After staring at Chenxi in a daze for a while, Simon shook out a cigarette from the cigarette box, took it in his hand and gently shook it, then he put it in his mouth.

Simon, who was biting the butt of a cigarette, snapped his fingers casually, and a flame suddenly appeared at the cigarette end, lighting the cigarette.

This is one of the sigils obtained after becoming a demon hunter, the Igni sigil.

The Igni Sign can release flames, and different flame abilities can be used through different gestures and the amount of magic power transmitted.

Of course, in daily life, you can also use the flame ability by just snapping your fingers, such as lighting a fire or extinguishing a candle.

Simon held the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep breath. Since he didn't know how to smoke, he couldn't let the smoke go through his lungs, so he swallowed the smoke directly.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be choked to death from smoking like this, but he is a mutated demon hunter, and this little smoke has no effect on him at all.

That little bit of nicotine may not take any effect before it is automatically broken down by his body.

A minute later, Simon threw away the cigarette, which had burned to a butt, and crushed it with his foot to extinguish the spark.

Facing the morning light, Simon got into the car, started the car, and left directly.

Simon, who was sitting in the driver's seat, casually took out a pair of sunglasses from the storage box in the car. These were also his father's. If the sunlight was too strong, his father would wear these sunglasses.

Now, these sunglasses belong to him.

Not to block out the scorching sun, but to block out his mutated eyes.

His orange-yellow eyes were hidden behind black sunglasses, and his snake-like vertical pupils stared forward. If he wanted, his mutated eyes could completely ignore the influence of the sunglasses.

Soon, the car left the town along the road.

Simon did not look back. The next time he came to the town, he would carry the devil's head to worship.

………………

Two days later.

Simon was filling up his car at a roadside gas station, leaning against the car and waiting boredly.

Because it was at a gas station, it was not convenient to smoke, so he could only wait.

Before long, the car's gas tank was full and the spare gasoline tank was also filled with reserve gasoline.

After paying the money, Simon got in the driving seat, started the car and left directly. This place was not far from the town he wanted to go to, and it would probably take another day.

This was calculated through the car's built-in navigation. He is a modern man. Even if he becomes a witcher, he is still a modern witcher.

Since he had never been to that town before, if he didn't have a navigation system, he might have to spend more time asking for directions.

Not long after the car started, just when Simon was about to light up another cigarette, the demon hunting badge hanging on his chest suddenly vibrated!

"Buzzing..."

"Bah—!"

The sound of the badge vibrating was followed by a harsh brake sound, leaving two long skid marks on the road.

Simon opened the car door and quickly got out. He took off his sunglasses and stared around, holding the steel sword he had just drawn tightly in his hand.

After taking a deep breath and not smelling the scent of the devil, Simon relaxed a little.

The badge's vibration amplitude was not very large, which meant that the demon was either not very strong or too far away from him.

But Simon did not take it lightly. He carefully returned to the car, drove it to the side of the road, and then took his equipment out of the car.

After arming himself, Simon locked the car door and walked straight into the woods nearby.

The badge could vaguely sense the demon's location, so he was not afraid of going in the wrong direction.

After walking about a kilometer, Simon suddenly smelled the scent of the devil, and the vibration of the badge accelerated again.

It was clearly the first time he smelled this odor, but he was very sure that it was the smell of the devil. The strange smell was very obvious in the fresh air.

Simon held the badge and injected a magical power into it, causing the badge to stop vibrating. He needed to hide himself and must not let the devil find him first!

Simon, holding two swords, used a big tree to hide himself. Since he didn't know what kind of demon it was, he planned to use both swords.

If only it was that demon with the cub!

Simon thought silently in his heart, but the reality was not so smooth. When he followed the smell and found the source, he only saw a mist.

There was a strange grayish-white fog, and the smell of the devil was coming from it.

The fog covers an area of ​​about ten meters, and it starts to become clearer ten meters away. This fog does not seem to be naturally formed, but more like there is a source of fog.

If the information is correct, the source is the devil!

I just don’t know what kind of demon it is that can emit mist to hide itself. No, this mist is not just to hide itself, it’s probably a trap for hunting!

After all, who would have thought that an ordinary piece of fog could hide a demon that could take lives.

Through simple analysis, Simon has seen the cunning of this demon. The fog is too large and it is difficult to find the specific location of the demon.

However, this is not a big problem for him.

"Since we can't find it, let's just blow up the fog."

Simon began to mutter to himself unconsciously, but he did not stop the movements of his hands.

He took out a bomb from the bag tied around his waist. The bomb was wrapped in iron sheets and cloth strips, with a faint orange-red color in the center.

Honeycomb bomb, a type of alchemical bomb recorded in alchemy books, is so simple that only two materials are needed to make this bomb.

Moreover, it is quite powerful. Enemies within the explosion range of this bomb will not only be harmed by the explosion and fire, but also by the flying fragments.

One of the most popular bombs used by novice demon hunters because it is cheap and easy to make.

During his time in the mountains, Simon accidentally found the materials needed for the alchemical bomb, and after many failures, he finally made it.

This alchemical bomb is enough to blow away the strange fog.

Chapter 440: Fighting the Mist Demon

"Chi~"

Tiny sparks lit up at the fuse of the honeycomb bomb. In order to prevent the devil from noticing, Simon did not throw the bomb immediately.

When the fuse was about to burn out, Simon suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, tensed his arm muscles, and threw the bomb in his hand towards the center of the fog like a shot putter.

"boom--!"

Simon's timing was very accurate. As soon as the bomb entered the center of the fog, a violent explosion appeared along with flames.

A shrill scream accompanied the explosion, and the thick fog in the center was instantly dispersed by the impact of the bomb.

At this moment, the figure of the devil in the fog appeared.

It was a dwarf-like monster, only about one meter tall, and its entire body was as thin as a piece of skin wrapped around bones, with no excess flesh at all.

The cloudy eyeballs emitted a faint blue light, and the head was like a huge mixed-hair bat. The slender but sharp claws were blocking in front of the body at the moment, with several bloody holes on them. Those were the wounds caused by the fragments of the honeycomb bomb.

The fog monster seemed to be stunned by the explosion of the bomb. It was still standing there in a daze, and it didn't even have time to release the fog that was hiding its body.

But this was just convenient for Simon. At the moment the bomb exploded, he had already raised his sword and rushed towards the center of the fog.

The moment the fog monster revealed itself, he was already within five meters of it.

"Om~"

The enchanted runes on the steel sword also emitted a faint red light under the infusion of magic power.

The moment the fog monster entered the attack range, Simon suddenly jumped up, holding the sword in both hands and slashed down fiercely in a New Year's greeting gesture.

This is a powerful sword technique. If it is chopped down successfully, the demon will definitely be cut in half.

Simon showed no mercy to the devil.

"Bah!"

But at the moment when the sword was about to hit the fog monster, the fog monster reacted suddenly under the threat of death.

The fog demon grabbed the sharp sword with its hard claws without hesitation, and then quickly used the force to dodge to the side. As a result of the force, one of its claws was directly split in half by the sword blade, and then cut off at the elbow.

“Hiha!!!”

After suffering another heavy blow, the fog demon couldn't help but let out a painful roar, and even its blue eyes turned faintly red.

But it dodged the fatal blow and endured the pain, emitting thick mist from its body surface, preparing to hide its shape.

The demon had just appeared with a little red mist when it was interrupted again by Simon. He would not take it lightly and let this demon return to the battlefield where it could benefit him!

"Hey!"

Seal of Igni!

Simon quickly made a gesture of the fire seal, and a flame like a flamethrower instantly ignited forward.

Under the burning of the raging flames, the mist was evaporated by the heat before it could even form, and even the body of the mist monster was burned.

The injured wound was instantly burned, which stopped the continuous bleeding.

But the fog monster would not be grateful to Simon. The burns seemed to have aroused its ferocity, and its dark blue eyes were mixed with a hint of blood red.

The moment the flames disappeared, the fog monster opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Simon. The foul-smelling saliva flowing from its mouth made Simon frown uncontrollably.

His keen sense of smell couldn't stand such torture.

If you want to get rid of this situation, you have to kill this demon as soon as possible!

"Shh!"
