Blood of the Hunting God

Stars, twinkling?

William briefly showed a somewhat stunned expression.

No.

wrong!

Totally wrong! ! !

The next moment, the dog trainer, who stared wide-eyed, suddenly understood something.

That's not a star, that's not a star at all.

It was an eye, an eye that was looking at them.

What I saw just now was the blinking of that eye.

At this moment, the real appearance of the sky above their heads is a densely packed thing full of glowing eyes.

Since when did it start following his group?

How many does it have, and how much area does it cover?

And, is this dead wilderness without monsters caused by this thing?

"So...is that so..."

William's heart was beating wildly at this moment, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Chapter 38: The Shambler Who Fell From the Stars

The seemingly ordinary starry sky above their heads is actually some kind of weird monster, and it has been following them for a considerable distance.

This unfolding like a horror story can be said to be quite uncomfortable in a certain sense, but fortunately, the few people present are very experienced hunters, so they did not panic too much, but quickly sent information to other teams Let them stop, indicating that there are enemies nearby and need to be alert.

"Hunter Your Excellency, what do you think this is?"

William, who completely hid his body in the grass and observed the "starry sky" above, asked.

"……do not know."

Although the hunter has seen many monsters, he must admit that he has never seen this one.

This living "starry sky" has been following them for an unknown amount of time, and did not launch an attack, but just quietly followed.

This kind of weird action can't help but make people think whether it has something to do with them not stepping into the Kamasa hills and directly exposing their position completely.If you think about it from this point of view, this weird thing may not have seen them hunters directly, but sensed that they are nearby, but they can't determine the exact location, so they plan to wait until they enter the stone desert hill area in front of them. Attack later.

These conjectures went around in the hunter's mind, and he thought about how to speak these words to ensure that others could understand them.Then after thinking for a while, the hunter chose to give up, and continued to quietly shut up and stay where he was.

"Maybe that thing can't know our exact location, but it can probably confirm that there are people near us, so it has been following us?"

Disma tried to come up with a conjecture at this time.

The hunter immediately nodded and gave a thumbs up to show that Disma was right.

"Has there been such a thing in the Corruption Field before?"

William thought of going elsewhere.

"How is it possible? No one has seen this thing before. Think about it, if there is such a thing wandering around your head, which hunter can sit still."

Tardiff spit out a mouthful of phlegm, holding the ax cautiously and complaining.

The four of them stopped in place, secretly observing the floating "starry sky" above.

The hunter tried to estimate the distance between the two sides to see if there was a chance of hitting the opponent, but he found that the distance between the thing and the ground was at least hundreds of meters, maybe even thousands of meters, and he wanted to hit the opponent It is very difficult.

In addition, after careful observation, they found that the object did not completely cover all the starry sky, but should only partially block it.The evidence is that when they try to move around, they can see the "starry sky" in a small area move accordingly, but there is no change in other places.

But even so, considering the distance brought about by the distance, the size of this thing is probably quite exaggerated. It is hard to imagine how big it must be to cover part of the starry sky at an altitude of thousands of meters.

"Those stars are blinking faster and are still looking around. Is it searching for us?"

William noticed that the flickering of the false starry sky was becoming more and more obvious.

"This thing is very likely to have intelligence, so it has been waiting for us to appear, the starry sky... Could it be the starry sky that dominates the power of the evil god?"

Disma lowered his head to think, and a certain possibility that could not be ignored made him frown.

And at the same time they were observing the changes in the starry sky, the colors in the sky seemed to realize something because they hadn't waited for the hunters' actions for a long time, and some weird changes began to appear.

The distorted color changed from the original camouflaged starry sky.

It seemed to be a translucent mass with no fixed shape, wriggling, and separated from the original color.

The thing fell to the ground, and the twisted and entangled rays of light gradually became solid, and different parts grew out.

In the moonlight that was about to fall, people saw the blue-black tentacles and the chaotically arranged crimson eyes.

The human-like teeth lost the cover of the lips, directly exposed to the air, and connected to more densely packed dark red tentacles.

That weird existence was nearly three meters tall, and his body was as fat as a carriage with a wider frame.It fell to the ground without a sound and disappeared into the grass, without making any sound from the beginning to the end.If the hunters hadn't discovered the starry sky in question, I'm afraid they might not have been able to observe the appearance of that thing.

"What the fuck is that?"

From the first moment that strange monster appeared, Tardiff gripped the ax tightly.The hunter's instinct made him feel a strong sense of coldness. There is no doubt that the thing that just appeared is extremely dangerous, and it is likely to cause huge casualties.

"...the starry sky limps, they are called [Star God's Eyes], and they are a direct extension of the starry sky's dominant power."

This time it was William who spoke in a low voice. The expression on the old man's face at the moment was very complicated, and he didn't know why.

"Extension of Star God's power?"

Disma frowned.

"That's right, these things are monsters born directly from the power of the ruler of the starry sky. Their senses seem to be directly connected with the star gods. Many star god believers are actually calling them when they perform sacrifice ceremonies. Let them eat the tribute. Hmm...or maybe it's mainly from the Star Capital."

William explained a few words in a low voice, the expression on his face at this moment could not be seen clearly under the dim light.

"In other words, if they are here, does it mean that the star god is watching here?"

Disma understood at this moment.

Wait on the only way for the hunting god team, and clear the monsters in the area in advance to ensure that they will not follow the wrong target.

They are waiting for the arrival of hunters like them, no, no, I am afraid that what they are really waiting for is only the hunter.

"Damn it..."

Disma thought of quite a few possibilities at this moment.

These limpers are dropped as eyes, trying to catch the hunter's tracks.Then, the [tentacles] acting as their actions will definitely move around here, and it is even very likely that they have been following them for a while.

They have not launched an attack because they just want to find the hunter himself.Moreover, as long as the traces of the hunters are found, what greets their group of people will inevitably be a catastrophe, a merciless destruction.

How many people on the other side have invested in it?

Disma once heard Father Marman mention that the number of tentacles of the Star God is several hundred, each of which can easily kill an experienced hunter in a frontal battle.

If so many people are all ambushing in the corruption field, waiting for them...

"There is a message from the optical magnet, and other teams have also found those limping people. It seems that a total of six monsters of that kind have been released and are searching for us around here."

At this moment, William noticed the color change on the magnetite, and whispered to the others.

"We have to find a way to get out of this area, we have to avoid these limps."

Disma spoke in a deep voice, talking about his thoughts to the people around him.

The brief exchange came to an end soon, and Tardif and the hunter were a little surprised, and couldn't help thinking about what to do

Question, but William frowned and thought for a while after hearing Disma's words, and then gave a negative answer.

"The situation you mentioned should not happen. It is unlikely that the Star God's tentacles will appear here. Even if there are, there will only be two or three."

Saying this, William patted the hound next to him to appease him, and then continued to speak.

"One thing you may not know is that it is very difficult for the tentacles of the star gods to step into the [corruption field] and [filthy swamp]. The range of radiation of these old god powers has a strong repelling effect on the power of the three star gods. , once too many tentacles penetrate deeply, it will immediately cause a large-scale riot of filthy forces."

"These [eyes] will not directly touch the corrupt field, and the overall strength of the limping person who is put down is not as strong as the [tentacles], so it will not cause too strong rejection, but if it is the tentacles, it is completely different. Once the number of things increases, it is estimated that all the filthy monsters with a radius of hundreds of kilometers will riot, and it is impossible to hide that kind of movement from anyone."

"And the most important thing is that neither the [eyes] nor the [tentacles] are actually very intelligent. These guys are not that smart, and they need the [brain] to regulate them. And the brain itself cannot leave the capital of stars. Yes, so they can only act through a single action mode set in advance. If I guessed correctly, then the mode should be a simple and easy-to-understand routine of 'discovering hunters'-'besieging and killing'."

At the end, the expression on William's face seemed to have changed, but he quickly concealed the change and returned to his usual appearance.

"You know a lot about the things going on in the capital of the stars."

Disma whispered, looking at William's expression slightly changed.

"I was originally the sheriff sent to Xingkong Town from Star Capital, isn't it normal to be familiar with it?"

William replied very calmly, without showing any abnormal reactions.

"That is to say..."

Tardiff probably understood what he was going to do next, and moved his body while holding the hatchet.

"Well, yes, that is to say—"

Next, in order to ensure the safety of the operation, it will not be further traced by the power of those star gods.

It must be ensured that the hunters can get rid of the limps without the hunter himself showing up.

Chapter 39: The Encounter

On the premise that the hunter does not participate in it, complete the hunting of these [eyes].

What William revealed, the most straightforward way to break the situation, made Disma's brows furrowed even more.

"Are you sure other teams can deal with this kind of enemy?"

"Unless you have a better way, then pretend I didn't say it."

During the conversation, one could hear the sound of the distorted monster approaching gradually.

This twisted thing called the Limper seems to be able to sense the location of the living more clearly after landing, and if it continues like this, the hunters will soon be found.

Or rather, it has actually been discovered.

"What the hell is this?!"

Vic frowned, watching the twisted thing appearing from the grass in front of him, frowning.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the sudden appearance of the terrifying monster made the whole team into a mess.If Vic hadn't been vigilant about his surroundings after vaguely noticing something was wrong, and sent a timely reminder one second before that thing appeared, maybe the four members of the team would have been completely disrupted by the sudden attack of this thing. shape.

Even though it's messed up now.

Baldwin, who was supposed to be at the front, accidentally fell to the back of the line because of the thing attacking from the middle of the line.Vic and Natia Vida were in the second and third positions. As for Luid, this man had already rushed to the first position and directly headed towards the enemy's position.

"Come on, let me see what you're capable of."

The firearm in his hand suddenly burst into sparks, attacking the chaotic thing.But in the dim moonlight, Vik could clearly see that the bullet didn't hit any target, but only scratched a bloody mouth by rubbing against the evil thing.

Immediately after those squirming tentacles burst into a bloody flower, five or six small, but actually more than half a meter-sized tentacle monsters rushed out of it, and rushed towards the hunters amidst ear-piercing screams. come up.

Harsh, screaming that seemed to tear people's nerves.

"Drink ah ah-"

Natia Vida roared, and swung the serrated long knife forward, rushing out from Vic's side, piercing a small tentacle monster approaching.

The thick, viscous juice exploded and stuck to the bodies of Natia Vida and Vic, causing them to feel a piercing pain.Only then did they realize that there were obvious burn marks on their skin where the juice was splashed.

"Be careful, don't be touched by the blood of this thing!"

Vic yelled to remind him, but Luigd at the front didn't care, roaring and waving his dagger and continuing to charge forward.

Waving it, the dark red blood splashed along with it.

Lu Yide took a step back, accurately avoiding the spilled poisonous blood, and sent the firearm in his hand to the side, resisting another small monster that rushed over, and pulled the trigger to penetrate it.

He took another step to the side to avoid the blood flowing out of the pierced monster, and during these few steps, he

It was already close to the huge monster, and it was about to attack directly by waving its blade.

Boom!

In the next moment, everyone heard a dull roar, and Lu Yide himself was hit by a tentacle, and he flew out in mid-air, fell to the ground and rolled into the grass more than ten meters away. When he got up, Mouth full of blood.

"You really are a big guy!"

Luig with red eyes grinned grinningly at this moment and stood up again.
