Blood of the Hunting God

Even though he was seriously injured, he was on the verge of death.

Still nothing.

There are no emotions that a hunter can feel.

There are also no fragments of memories that hunters can receive.

Those other powerful monsters, other goddess knights and all kinds of powerhouses, even the [Wreck of the Forgotten Knight] who is so weak that only half of his body is left paralyzed in the ruins of the town, when fighting the hunter, the hunter can Feel the remaining emotions of the other party, and read the memory that the other party refuses to give up and forget.

But here, the hunter didn't feel anything.

This huge monster is so empty, so...empty...

Rumbling--

The black air flow spread again, overturning all the soil within tens of meters.

The power of filth poured into the ground, and the spikes shot out suddenly, trying to pierce the fallen hunter and kill him.

For this, the hunter just dodged left and right in the gravel and mud lightly, and then approached the monster again, and the Senhan long sword cut off a skeleton finger directly, followed by another blow. Sweeping smashed the bones that had barely healed with great difficulty, causing the huge monster to fall to the ground in embarrassment.

The cane stabbed out, piercing through the skull that had already been knocked out with several cracks.

The magic light stirred, and the hunter directly released a huge soul arrow in the opponent's brain, which instantly shattered a large amount of flesh and blood, and completely overturned the sky spirit cover of this head, which was several times larger than the hunter's entire body. Get up, revealing the extremely ugly inside, flesh and blood crowded like sarcoma.

After the heavy explosion sound, the monster howled mournfully. It tried to catch the hunter, but it waved wildly and couldn't touch the hunter's seemingly small body at all.

The long whip swept out violently, hitting the head that had not had time to fully raise it.

The huge force was accompanied by a sonic boom, and on the already riddled skull, most of the sarcoid tumors were blown away by the hunter in one go.

The shrill howling sounded again, and this time the monster, which had obviously suffered severe injuries, staggered and fell to the ground again.

【…】

Nothing was felt.

Even in a state of near-death, nothing exists.

The hunter stared at the ugly and terrifying huge skeleton monster trembling and struggling in front of him, and the expression on his face became a little complicated.

He still couldn't feel anything from this monster.

He is obviously... a goddess knight, and he is a member of the most powerful human ranks in the old era.

Voluntarily sacrificing himself, using his own flesh and blood as a barrier for this forest, to prevent some kind of plan of the enemies in the darkness that have not yet emerged.

Such a person exists, but he has not been able to leave any self, memories of the past, people he has loved, the love he has received, everything, so those who can prove his existence, can also prove that he has left behind in the years. All traces of things are gone.

Hunter, can't feel anything from the opponent.

It's an empty shell.

An empty shell of nothing but the essence of a monster.

Those noble souls and memories that were once contained in it no longer exist, and have disappeared into the past forever.

Could it have been taken by some hunter?

But even if the soul disappears, the memory will still leave traces, which can be well explained by [The Wreck of the Forgotten Knight].

Well, because of the "hate" it received

?

A sealed skeleton beast that is hated.

Because it prevented certain things from happening, because it left hope for the human beings in this world, and left the possibility of living, so they were hated by some things in the dark, and were attracted by the existence of the evil root of filth. hated.

Therefore, he had nothing left.

There are only monsters left here, only this kind of thing is left.

【…】

The huge monster was still struggling to die, and was still trying to continue to attack.

The hunter stepped forward slowly, piercing the broken giant sword into the opponent's head, cutting off the remaining sarcoma one by one.

Finally, the monster lost its voice, collapsed completely, and began to gradually dissipate and disintegrate.

And in this battle, the hunter didn't even receive too many invisible echoes, as if even the filthy power that made up this thing was filled with false empty shells.

"..."

Without speaking, the hunter who ended the battle just stood there calmly, watching the huge monster turn into ashes and cease to exist.

And the huge door, which was pitch-black and the only one clearly visible in the mist, slowly opened at this moment.

【The Hated Sealed Skeletal Beast】

prey slaughtered

Chapter 95: Doors Open

The gate of the Cursed Forest, the only entrance that can be entered surrounded by the sealing fog, slowly opened at this moment.

After a month-long trip to the corrupt wilderness, the hunters, after a lot of torment, finally arrived at this door at this moment, and arrived at another checkpoint before heading to the old god's seat.

The hunter turned his eyes to the back of the door, but he could only see a thin layer of white mist.

The white fog that seals the cursed forest blocks all possibilities of prying eyes, even in front of the opened door. Only those who have really stepped into it are qualified to see its true appearance and know its true nature. situation.

The hunters in the past, there are only a handful of teams that can come here, and according to the records they left, the terrain structure in the forest of the curse is obviously completely different, this ghost place has the ability to change the terrain by itself , It is said that it comes from a very strange magic tree.It was a twisted tree covered with filthy power that was full of human remains. It possessed extremely terrifying power, and almost no hunter could reach it alive.

Because of the existence of this magic tree, it is extremely difficult to thoroughly understand the internal structure of the cursed forest. Hunters are often attacked by the man-eating vines that spread from the magic tree in the forest, so the team is basically scattered. normal thing.In the Cursed Forest, all kinds of wandering twisted monsters are often much stronger than the monsters in the corrupt field outside, so once they are scattered, it is basically equivalent to death.

And not only that, the threat inside the Cursed Forest is far more than the existence of the magic tree. The [Snake Cave] is also an extremely disgusting thing that makes hunters terrified.It is said that it is a huge//poisonous snake with a length of 40 to [-] meters, and its body is covered with sarcoma, and each sarcoid contains hundreds to thousands of disgusting monsters with a length of one or two meters of highly poisonous poisonous snakes.

That thing kept wandering around in the forest of the curse, and every time it wandered a certain distance, the sarcoma on its body would split off and hide in the forest.These sarcomas will rot on their own and become food for trees if no one approaches them, but if someone approaches, as long as they get close to a distance of about ten meters, the sarcomas will explode on the spot, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Poisonous snakes are scattered all over the place.

It was too terrifying physically and psychologically, an indescribable scene, basically anyone who has a phobia of snakes could die suddenly on the spot.

Of course, even if you are not scared to death, you will most likely be bitten to death next, because these little snakes are all monster-like poisonous snakes with strong poison and strong filthy power, and they will attack the hunters madly without fear of death. , it can be said that if you accidentally collide with these things in a dense forest with low visibility and inconvenient movement, basically there will be no way out, especially for those hunters who are within the range of the explosion.

But despite this, it is true that there is still a safe area inside the Cursed Forest.

It was an unnamed abandoned town. According to the calculations of the hunters, it should be about 30 kilometers away from the main entrance of the Cursed Forest and the Pilgrim's Gate. It is quite possible to reach this place in one day.

The abandoned town is the last place to rest before going to the last area of ​​the battle of the hunting gods [Garden of the Old Gods], and it is also the front entrance of [Garden of the Old Gods], the former garden of the gods.The garden was also shrouded in the sealing fog, and only through a gate guarded by the [Gatekeeper] could one truly step into it.

The name of the town itself is no longer known, the only thing that is certain is that there are no monsters in this town, and those filthy monsters will instinctively avoid this town, and the most amazing thing is that hunters can escape in this town Find natural springs to drink and non-toxic mushrooms to eat.Some hunters have successfully brought the water and mushrooms back to the Land of Stars, and they have been confirmed to be completely non-toxic and non-toxic through multiple official and private tests.

Anything that could have a negative effect on a hunter, such as hallucinogenic substances.Those mushrooms were even successfully planted in the Star Country and became one of the rations of the common people, because those mushrooms are so easy to survive, they can adapt to almost any environment, and they basically don't need care.

"All in all, what follows is a truly difficult journey."

Disma couldn't help sighing at this moment.

"[Bloodbound Demon Tree]."

"[Turned Snake]."

"These two are dangerous monsters that no hunter would ever want to encounter. They are no less threatening than any powerful monsters we have ever encountered. on a par."

"And if we want to enter the Garden of the Old Gods, we have to face the gatekeeper at the end of the abandoned town in the forest, [Glenn the Decayer], I don't know who came up with this nickname, anyway, that guy used to be a goddess knight Come on, now it's just a stinking monster of rotten meat."

"Of course, in addition to these powerful guys, those monsters wandering in the cursed forest must not be underestimated. If I remember correctly, there are many rotten giant monsters in this forest that can use tree trunks as weapons , there are also all kinds of terrible things that are highly poisonous, and there seem to be some freaks who can use throwing guns. Anyway, there are extremely rich types of monsters in this forest in the records, from animals to humans to various hybrids There are more than [-] types in total, and even every exploration record will discover new types of monsters.”

"After entering this forest, the proportion of hunters who come out alive has never been higher than [-]%. That is to say, every time the people who survive to leave the forest, even if it is the best time, only [-]% .”

"I don't know if we will be the one or the nine."

Disma, who was explaining the situation ramblingly, smiled, threw the cigarette that was almost smoked at the corner of his mouth on the ground, and looked at the door in front of him with a little emotion in his expression.

Abigail, who was beside him, listened carefully, without saying anything, but looked at the hunter not far ahead, standing at the forefront of the team.

At this moment, the hunter who stood quietly in front of the gate raised his head and stared at the opened door and the white mist behind the door.

Mr. Hunter, what are you thinking about now?

Are you thinking about how to complete this mission?

Are you thinking about how to make more people survive?

Or are you actually not thinking about anything, just waiting for the departure time?

The little girl was thinking, but couldn't come to a conclusion.

She turned her head and looked around, looking at the hunters of more than sixty people who had gathered at this moment.

Now that they have reached the gate, hunters no longer need to think about gathering.After all, there were basically no monsters in this area, and a considerable part of the area in front of the gate was extinct from monsters in the true sense, so even if they settled here, they would not encounter any danger.

But despite saying so, now the hunters will set off to enter the cursed forest immediately after finishing the final outfit.

After all, it has been determined that the enemy behind the scenes is still following them, and through the information of Disma and the left-wing vanguard team, it can be known that they are even trying to ambush the hunters to attack, but the attackers were discovered and wiped out in advance.

The danger involved, coupled with the warnings brought by the four hunters who died before, made the people present make a decision to enter the cursed forest immediately after a short rest.

Now, it's almost time.

"Are you sure you want to stay with the hunter? Although it is dangerous no matter which team you are in after entering, I don't think the vanguard team is a good choice."

Disma looked at the petite girl beside him, hesitantly or persuading her.

"I'm not a weak person without any power, I have the ability to protect myself."

While speaking, Abigail manifested the Moonlight Great Sword from her hand, and put the huge blade emitting blue-green fluorescence on her shoulder, showing a somewhat triumphant expression .

"Besides, since it's dangerous no matter where you are, staying by Mr. Hunter's side is the best choice I can think of."

"I don't want to be separated from Mr. Hunter anymore. I will be his helper, someone who can help him!"

The little girl was furious at this moment.

"Well, it's not bad anywhere anyway, maybe it's better in front of you."

Disma raised his eyebrows, and said in a slightly helpless tone.

The hunter stretched out his hand and gently stroked the little girl's head.

Such an intimate movement made Abigail subconsciously show an expression of enjoyment, and even instinctively stood on tiptoe to get closer, wanting to bury her whole body in Mr. Hunter's arms.

But immediately, Abigail, who realized that this was not a place where she could do such things, came to her senses. After blushing for a while, she tried to restrain her expression, with a serious face like a little adult.

The hunter just smiled at this, and continued to look at the team ahead without saying anything.

And it was also at this time that the order to set off spread throughout the entire team, and one by one people

One by one, they took a step forward and moved towards the huge door ahead.

Tread through broken dirt.

Stepping over withered flowers.

Walk through the fog that hides everything.

Step through the unknown darkness ahead.

The 6th Hunting God Squad, the remaining 61 hunters, formed to fight against the filth of the earth, officially entered the cursed forest at this moment.
