Blood of the Hunting God

In addition, although the hunter's food supply is rich in nutrition, the taste is really so bad that dogs don't want to chew it.At least William's hound, Fergus, is very reluctant to eat those foods, and William himself has to persuade him to stuff it in his mouth every time.

Under such circumstances, the hunter thought for a while and decided to make a living by himself.

The first prey to be selected was an infected and corrupted crocodile. Although it was a crocodile, after killing this thing and cutting it open, everyone found that its internal organs were densely covered with human fingers and toes

, There are even four or five deformed babies connected to each other in the stomach, each of which has not grown a head.Faced with this scene that challenged the limit of the spirit, the hunter remained indifferent, and chose to cut off one of the legs of the crocodile monster, and then made it into meat slices and started grilling after setting up the camp.

I have to say that his actions did put some pressure on the other players.

Picking up the second skewer, under the watchful eyes of his companions who were holding the unpalatable dry food for the hunter, the hunter opened his mouth and bit down lightly.

"Ahh-"

Abigail showed a happy expression, and put down the barbecue in her hand.

"I can actually eat it..."

"Always, I always feel that it's good, but, it's scary..."

"It really is a force that cannot be underestimated."

Several forging masters and apprentices had different expressions, but Abigail had already picked up the second skewer, feeding it into her mouth and chewing slowly.

Outside the hiding place of the first logistics team, the corpse of a twisted monster that resembled a deer and a dog was basically completely burned in the flames.

It's just that before it was burned down, a girl made a certain decision after checking the team's supplies.

That is to cook and consume part of the monster's flesh and blood by oneself, so as to reduce the consumption of hunter's supplies and maintain more food.

This kind of behavior, which is tantamount to suicide in the eyes of hunters, was naturally not accepted at first, but Abigail argued hard on the grounds, and coupled with her own mysterious identity, Andre finally decided to let Abigail treat the cut off. Grill the flesh and blood of the monster under it, and the result is the scene in front of you.

"Do you have the power to completely ignore filth and infection? If you are someone who can save the world, it seems natural to have such power."

After Andre sighed, he turned around and ignored the situation here.

Abby himself ate several pieces of meat in a row, and then looked up thoughtfully into the distance.

Although I have spent a lot of energy, but——

This taste is really not as good as Mr. Hunter's baked.

Chapter 5: Leper Swordsman Baldwin

"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Disma climbed up a half-collapsed house to look out, jumped down, returned to his teammates, and spoke to them.

"Just finish it in one breath."

Tardiff yawned and waved his hands impatiently.

"Okay, anyway, the good news is that [Pilgrimage Town] is just ahead, and it is estimated that we can arrive within 3 hours. We can enter the town and settle down before the moon sets. However, the bad news is that there is an army ahead of us. The herd, it may not be so easy to cross over."

Disma shrugged and gave a very straightforward answer.

"A herd of beasts? No wonder the girl has been a little uneasy since just now."

William narrowed his eyes, and clenched his hand holding the mace slightly.

Herds, a very common situation in the corrupted fields, usually more than ten filthy monsters of the same type gather together, and the largest number observed is more than [-]. It is an extremely dangerous situation that hunters must avoid. exist.In a sense, it can even be said that those powerful monsters with souls are not necessarily as threatening as these herds.

The herd of beasts that appeared at this moment was about 200 meters away from the vanguard team where the hunters and others were. Because there were overgrown grass blocking them, there was no way to determine the exact number.Based on the visual inspection of some of the larger monsters, Disma judged that the number of monsters in this group was likely to be in the range of fifty to two hundred.

Obviously, this is not a quantity that a four-person team can handle, nor should it be the object of their direct conflict.The hunting god team itself has very limited supplies, and it is obviously not worthwhile to waste them on these monsters.Therefore, after roughly observing the trajectories of these monsters for a while, the group made preparations for a detour.

"Let's inform the other teams. We should be able to avoid these things by turning to the right, but it may delay some time. Maybe the teams behind will face the situation of driving in the dark, so we have to do it as soon as possible."

William raised his head to look at the dark sky. At this moment, the moonlight was gradually sinking, and he would soon fall into an extremely dark environment.

Do not explore the corrupt wilderness in a lightless environment, this is a lesson learned by the hunters with their blood.

An environment that is too dark will cause a great difference in perception between hunters and filthy monsters, and filthy forces are more likely to interfere with consciousness in a state of mental tension. Once a place is not grasped, it is likely to usher in The situation where the team is wiped out.

Although this kind of problem can be effectively solved by lighting a torch, the problem is that when the surrounding environment is extremely dark, the light of the torch can basically be regarded as waving to the surrounding monsters to indicate the position of the hunters, and they will inevitably be besieged by them. .The hunters who dare to light a bonfire when they are resting are based on the fact that the surrounding monsters have been effectively cleared, but it is obviously impossible to guarantee this when they are in action, so the hunters can only rely on them for their own safety. Operation Moonlight.

The light magnet lights up dimly, transmitting information to other teams.

From the surrounding vanguard teams, to the rear rotation team, the middle logistics team, and finally to the security team at the end of the entire team.

"There are herds ahead, we must

Detour, damn it at this time..."

Natia Vida, who was holding a serrated broadsword, spat out a mouthful of phlegm, with a disgusted expression on her face.

As a rare female warrior, Natia Vida was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and her solid arms made her look like a barbarian female warrior from the Fog Capital.In fact, because of the use of some special medicines to strengthen her physical fitness, she does have a combat power far beyond ordinary people, but as a price, her emotions can easily become extreme and sadistic. Regardless, and usually need a channel to vent to maintain sanity.

However, although she has a belligerent side, as an experienced hunter, Natia Vida is still very aware of the dangers of traveling in the dark.She's not a fool, not the kind of pathologically eager to fight and even risk her life, at least not compared to the other person in the team.

"Isn't this good? I've always wanted to see the so-called monster group. Let's not take a detour and go straight up."

Luig the hunter, carrying a short sword and rifle on his back, showed a somewhat bloodthirsty smile at this moment.

Being on the front line against filthy forces, hunters often develop various eccentricities due to tremendous psychological pressure, and the tall man in front of him, Luigi, is a hunter who is obsessed with bloody battles. By.

In the previous few days of operations, he had already left the team several times after discovering the traces of monsters, completely ignoring what his teammates would think.If it wasn't for him somewhat remembering his duties as a member of the security team, and wouldn't lure the monsters he found to the God of Hunting team, most of the other hunters who couldn't bear it at this moment would have killed him on the spot It's coming.

"Don't make trouble."

The third member of the team, the gunman named Vic, spoke coldly at this moment, looking at Luid with a very unkind expression.

"Are you afraid? Afraid of those monsters?"

Luigi laughed mockingly, looking at Vic with a disdainful expression.

"I will not let my personal interests threaten the safety of the team."

As a member of William's police force, Vic obviously hated unruly mavericks, so he looked at Luid with a more hostile expression than before.

"Because you're not sure, you feel like you can't do it, don't you? Weak people are people like you who only use excuses to hide their true nature."

The dagger on his back was untied and held in his hand, and a hint of cruelty seemed to flash in Luide's eyes.

"I'm just different from a selfish guy like you. Want to try if I'm strong? OK, come on."

Taking the gun out of his pocket, Vic was ready to fight at this moment.

Natia Vida watched the smell of gunpowder gradually filling up between the two men, with a playful smile on her face.She looked up at the sky, and realized that if she continued to delay, they would probably spend a longer time in the dark environment looking for the direction to the pilgrimage town after the moon set, then she frowned and put away the show helplessly. Thinking about it, I was going to open my mouth to persuade him a little bit.

"Enough is enough, don't waste your blood on meaningless internal friction."

But before that, a calm man's voice sounded first, attracting the attention of Luigi and Vic.

It was a man wearing a dilapidated cloak, some worn metal armor, and a mask, holding a huge, partly broken sword blade.The chin exposed under the man's mask was covered with dark red spots and pustules, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.

"..."

The man didn't speak at first, but stood silently nearby to guard against possible enemies, and he didn't come back until the atmosphere here was not right.There seemed to be a strange aura emanating from the man, which silenced the two hunters who were already tense.

"Our responsibility is to be responsible for the rear safety of the entire team, and not to disappoint the trust of others in us."

After the calm words fell, the man with the big sword turned around and walked forward.

"Hmph, forget it this time, I'll have plenty of time to play slowly in the future."

"..."

Lloyd laughed, put away his weapon and followed the man, and Vic frowned for a while, and finally put away his weapon and followed suit.

The man at the front just walked forward in silence, his eyes under the mask scanning the seemingly uniform grass in front of him.

The man's name was Baldwin, a leper who was actually dying.

It is obviously difficult for such a seriously ill man to step into Xingkong Town and become a hunter.But Baldwin showed unimaginable strength, single-handedly eliminated a large number of monsters one after another on the night of the monster invasion, saved many townspeople, and made people recognize him as a hunter.Joining the Hunting God Squad now is also because of his powerful power, so Baldwin was placed at the end of the team, responsible for preventing monsters from behind.

The moonlight is gradually sinking, and the light is getting dimmer.

The shadows shining on the four people were gradually elongated, and before long, darkness would descend on this land.

Chapter 6: The Lightless Wilderness

"The distance towards

How far is the holy town? "

William raised his head to look at the sky, then turned to Disma and asked.

"It should be there within an hour."

After thinking about it for a while, Disma came to a conclusion.

"An hour? If that's the case, then the team behind may not have much time."

William looked at the increasingly low moonlight, and the expression on his face became serious.

So far, the road from the Corruption Field to the Forest of the Cursed has reached one-third of the distance, and there has been no downsizing for so many days, which can be regarded as good news.But at this moment, William is not sure if this good news can continue.

If it takes about an hour for the first team to reach the town, the time for the latter team will inevitably take longer. From the current situation, I am afraid that the moon will completely sink below the horizon in less than an hour and a half. It is very likely that several teams will have to operate in a dark environment.

"We don't have time to worry about others, old guy, hurry up and advance to the town!"

The bounty hunter Tardiff spat out, interrupting William's thinking, and walked straight to the front of the team.

"Indeed, now we can only go to town as soon as possible."

With a helpless sigh, William led the hound to speed up the pace.

In front of the team, the abandoned pilgrimage town can gradually be seen clearly.Even after thousands of years of erosion, the dilapidated buildings still haven't completely covered up their original appearance, and some tall building wrecks can be seen in the distance.The hunter can recognize the pointed building that seems to be a church, and some other houses with no specific purpose. Perhaps this town was once a very prosperous place, but now only these dilapidated ruins remain.

The light is getting dimmer.

The moonlight gradually fell into the earth, and soon the entire Corrupt Field would be plunged into darkness that was almost as dark as reaching out.

Before that moment came, Hunter and his party entered the town and found an abandoned residential building as a temporary resting place.

Then, not long after, several other teams also entered the town one by one.The hunter stood at the entrance of the abandoned town. He didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that Abigail entered the town with the logistics team, and returned to his team.

Then the moonlight sank to the wild end, and darkness enveloped the world.

"How many teams are still here?"

Disma looked at William who had been counting the number and asked.

"Two teams, the left wing back team and the rear security team, they haven't arrived yet..."

William frowned, looking at the already dark field with a worried expression.

Another 2 minutes later, another team entered Pilgrimage Town. They seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and several people in the team were not in good condition.

William quickly recognized that this was a member of the left-wing back team. After all, their leader, Lowes, who was a gladiator, was quite recognizable.After roughly confirming that the team was not seriously injured, William felt relieved, but then, after a full 5 minutes without waiting for the last team, his expression gradually became dignified .

"Did the four from the security team fail to catch up?"

It is almost conceivable how it would end if stranded in darkness in such a dangerous wilderness.

However, it is impossible for everyone present to come forward to search and rescue. The lightless wilderness is a fierce place that cannibalize people in the true sense. The result of sending people to search and rescue will only be to pay more sacrifices.

"I go……"

In a hoarse voice, the hunter took off the lantern he was carrying and put it on the table beside him, looked at the three companions beside him and said.

"Are you crazy?"

William showed a look of disbelief.

"...I can see."

The hunter just shook his head, then jumped out of the window of the hut and rushed out of the town.

"Hey, this guy—"

"Let him go, the darkness can't stop his actions, don't worry."

After stopping the anxious William, Disma sighed at this moment and looked in the direction where the hunter was going.

Everyone knows the danger of operating in the dark. However, after the experience of traveling in the dark under the leadership of the hunter after the operation in Lusa City, both Disma and Tardiff have a better understanding of the hunter's ability. Deep cognition, so it will not block at this time.

While the hunters on this side rushed to support the search, outside the pilgrimage town, the last four hunters who fell behind were advancing cautiously.

"Oh, it's really strong."

Wiping off the blood from the torn wound on her arm, Natia Vida smiled.
