Blood of the Hunting God

Then she saw a huge body, a snake that looked three or four meters high, and was so long that it couldn't see its head at all, an extremely huge black and gray snake.

A body full of disgusting sarcoids, each of which is constantly wriggling, and it can be seen that there are densely packed sarcoids that are trembling and struggling.Just by looking, Abigail could see more than thirty of these wriggling sarcomas.

this thing……

The girl knew what it was.

Before entering the Cursed Forest, one of the powerful monsters active in the Cursed Forest that Disma had emphasized.

【Tumor snake】.

Will you encounter this thing here?

If I hadn't been pulled in by these hunters from the rotation team, I might have bumped into this monster just now.

Thinking of this, Abigail couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The five of them waited in the darkness for quite a while, and the snake finally left and disappeared into the distance among the woodlands.

People drilled out of the bushes, and immediately found a huge sarcoma abandoned there among the trees not far away.Even from a distance, the thing could be seen wriggling non-stop, and traces of something appeared in the flesh and blood from time to time.

"It's really disgusting..."

A little nervous, Drauen took out dry food and took two mouthfuls to suppress his shock.

"Let's go, we can't stay here, let's find a way to go to the abandoned town first."

Gilbard said as he took out a magic pointer, signaling that everyone in the team should follow him

.

Chapter 98: The Dead and the Monster

The rotation team shuttled quietly through the woodland, approaching the direction indicated by the pointer bit by bit.

Abigail followed among these people, trying not to make any noise like them, walking through the bushes and tree roots together.

There was hardly any sound in the dense woods. There were no insects or birds singing. The silence made the girl feel like a grave.And those people who stepped into it and walked in it made her have a strange idea of ​​"we disturbed the sleep of some things here".

This march lasted about an hour, and there was no danger encountered along the way.

The monsters in the forest seemed to be all hiding, hiding one by one, refusing to show up.

In the dense forest, they climbed those tree roots, walked through the rough terrain, or waded through some bushes. Although it was a bit tiring, there was no danger at all, and the accident made people feel like traveling. strange delusion.

Did you really encounter any enemies along the way?

It feels...a bit weird...

Abigail suddenly thought of hide and seek.

Are those deformed monsters hiding in the cursed forest playing hide and seek with them?

Laughing like children, hiding them, watching them while slowly approaching them without making a sound, so that the hunters have no way of finding out, and then suddenly appearing .

Such thoughts made Abigail feel shuddering.

"It smells bloody..."

Brereton spoke suddenly.

"direction?"

Gilbard asked while standing beside Brereton with a guarded expression.

"It's over there."

The other party pointed in a direction, and it seemed that they were behind several densely populated giant trees and shrubs, and the distance was not very far.

Abigail shook her nose, and tried to sniff it carefully, and it took a while to barely smell a little rust-like smell.

It's the smell of human blood.

It is impossible for filthy monsters to have this kind of aura. Their blood is extremely black, and the stench is unimaginable. It is completely different from the smell of human blood, and there is absolutely no possibility of mistake.

If you smell human blood here, that means...

"Go and see."

Gilbard said seriously after thinking for a while.

"Isn't it...do I have to go..."

Drauen said nervously, subconsciously took another bite of dry food.

"After all, it's a teammate. If it's dead, there's nothing to say, but if it's still alive, it's better to save it if possible. This thing is like a woman's... Forget it, it's nothing."

Paxide Cole was very supportive of such an action, nodded and subconsciously planned to tell some colorful jokes.But before he finished speaking, he noticed Abigail next to him, so he swallowed the dirty jokes that had reached the edge of his throat.

Although I like to play a little bit of color, but in front of children, I still have to be more or less reserved.

The hunters nodded to each other, and it was naturally impossible for Abigail to express any objection in front of such a matter.So several people quickly shifted direction, and approached carefully towards the place where the smell of blood came from.

Overcoming the obstacles formed by tree roots, he got into the bushes and carefully pushed aside some rotten branches and leaves.

Gilbard looked outside for a while, and the expression on his face looked a little uncomfortable.

"It's from the second logistics team."

He sighed and turned back.

After the members of the logistics team said this, their expressions changed a little.

Different from the combat team, the logistics team that is mainly responsible for carrying and transporting various materials is basically not very good at combat effectiveness, especially the two logistics teams that are responsible for food. There are not many decent fighters in them, and they have to rely on other Squad protection.

"Captain Kefu, Paul, and Van Luen, the three of them are all here. I didn't see Horold. I hope that kid is still alive."

Gilbert shook his head with a regretful expression and said.

Those people from the second logistics team... have three died already?

Abigail was a little stunned. Although she had heard of several deaths after entering the hunting god team, such a fact was suddenly placed in front of her at this moment. The bushes just blocked the picture, which made her feel unreal for a while.

Mr. Kefu... She remembered the other party. It was a middle-aged man in his forties. He once aspired to become a hunter, but he finally joined the logistics team because of his lack of ability and talent. Protecting your team members.

Mr. Paul, he is a very courageous person. It is said that when those limping people appeared, he dared to secretly follow one of them to observe them and guide the others to evacuate in a safe direction.

Mr. Van Luen is a very young logistics apprentice. The meals he cooks are not very delicious, but he has been working hard to improve his craft.His load-bearing ability is very good, and he has been responsible for the main transportation and load-bearing work when he was in the team. He is a gentle man who loves to laugh.

people.

They have all been...

After a moment of silence, Abigail moved forward.

"Don't look at it, this picture is not good for children."

Gilbald put his hand on Abigail's shoulder.

"I've seen worse...at least, let me see them one last time."

The girl with a slightly sad expression begged softly.

"Okay...but don't be scared to cry."

Gilbald sighed and let Abigail go.

The girl slowly moved to the edge of the bush, stretched out her hand to push aside the branches, and looked outside.

She saw Kofu holding a dagger, leaning against a tree, with three long branches piercing through his chest and abdomen, the dead Kofu with his head hanging down.

Behind him were Paul and Van Luen who fell on the ground. One half of his body had been smashed into a pulp, and the other had several sharpened branches stuck in his body.

Blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing a large area of ​​land in a dark red color. The three dead logistics personnel just fell silently in the middle of the woodland. Apart from the pungent bloody smell, there was nothing left. there is none left.

Have you been attacked by a filthy monster?

May you... rest in peace...

The girl closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart.

"Do you want to recover the packages on them? There are a lot of food supplies in it."

At this moment, Gilbard was discussing the next course of action with the team members.

"I think it's necessary. I'm so hungry right now. You all know that the more nervous I am, the more I want to eat."

Delaunay said with some embarrassment.

"I think it's best not to. They were obviously attacked by monsters, and judging from the wounds, they were at least two different monsters. We can't be sure whether those things have gone far."

Paxide Cole gave an opposing opinion.

"Indeed, the corpses were not eaten, but were randomly discarded in place. This is not a good sign. Maybe those things are waiting for others to approach?"

Gilbard himself is clearly more in favor of a cautious course of action.

"...Leave?"

Brereton asked at last.

"Well, let's go."

Gilbard nodded, sighed, and spoke.

To be honest, he still wanted to recover the supplies from the three deceased. After all, the space packages and food supplies carried by the logistics team were very important.Moreover, if possible, he also wanted to take away the ears or fingers of those three people and bring them back to Xingkong Town so that they could get their due burial.

However, as a rotating team, their combat effectiveness is not strong, especially now that they have a teenage girl with them.In such a dangerous place, they must consider their own safety as the most important thing, and sometimes they can only make this kind of helpless choice.

"Okay, let's go."

Gilbard, who said so, was about to retreat to the tree root area behind him first.

Then, his movements stopped halfway.

"Damn it, it doesn't look like it's going to be so easy to leave."

In the cursing voice, Gilbard signaled the team members to be on guard, and he also drew out the giant sword on his back.

Click - click click -

This is how the same thing?

Abigail heard the sound of branches breaking.

Harsh, the sound of something being twisted.

Right behind them, there was a sudden sound.

Something, appeared from behind them?

whoosh-

The next moment, the sound of the wind suddenly magnified in front of his eyes.

Boom!

Amidst the heavy collision, Brereton suddenly stood up and blocked the shield full of spikes in front of Abigail.

The wide-eyed girl saw a sharpened branch fly upside down, fell to the ground and broke.Brereton, who blocked the blow, let out a muffled grunt, and took a step back, almost bumping into Abigail behind him.

"When you come up, you just pick on the little girl. Monsters are really shameless."

Paxide Cole said with a ferocious smile on his face after he untied his hammer.

"So...these things have already found us, have they been waiting for us to come out?"

Delauen's face turned paler, but instead of sitting still, he quickly calmed down and picked up the musket in his hand.Although he has some mental problems, he obviously still has the fighting ability as a hunter, and he won't make a mistake on this kind of problem.

Quickly, the four hunters surrounded Abigail and retreated from the bushes to the open space where the three dead men lay.

Immediately following the sound of heavy footsteps, they saw the enemy following them appearing from behind the bushes.

A... giant?

Abigail saw a deformed monster with a height of more than four meters, holding a huge branch, a grotesque and terrifying giant with a human-like appearance, but with completely distorted facial features and an inflated body.The body is extremely muscular, and the whole body is naked, but there are no gender characteristics. The blood vessels all over the body are constantly drilling under the skin, as if there are countless snakes in the body. monster.

And an equally misshapen, pale humanoid monster about two meters tall with twenty or thirty sharpened branches on its back.The appearance of this thing looks even more distorted, with twenty or thirty fingers covering the entire palm, and the face is actually made up of two nearly torn cheeks, and the four disordered eyes are constantly moving. Turning around and staring wide, the mouth full of fangs split from the middle of the face is more like an ugly monster that has completely torn the entire face apart.

These two things are obviously not ordinary monsters, but elites with certain special combat abilities. Even if they are not as powerful as those powerful monsters with their own names, they are still enough to become terrifying enemies for hunters.
