Blood of the Hunting God

And what she couldn't see was Horold who was running to the right. He took out a dagger at some point, and cut a deep wound on his arm fiercely. Blood flowed directly from his wrist. gushing out.

"Come on, come on, this time I'm not the one who was protected and escaped."

The severe blood loss caused by cutting the artery caused Horold's cheeks to quickly lose color, making his staggering and running steps slower and slower.

His heart was beating wildly with fear and blood loss.

The roar of the monsters in the back became more piercing and approaching. He knew that those monsters that might have chased after Abigail had all gathered to his side under the stimulation of blood. possible.

Staggering steps, and finally fell down.

The man who was panting with difficulty, looked at the ugly voices surrounding him, and suddenly spoke in a mournful voice:

"I really... don't want to die..."

The next moment, his voice was drowned out by the crowd of crazy monsters.

And the second logistics team of the Hunting God team also ushered in annihilation at this moment.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"There's still no news about anyone else..."

Disma frowned, looking at the same forest in front of him, where every place seemed to be exactly the same without any difference, and felt a little headache.

The stone plate used for communication has completely lost its function. There seems to be some kind of hidden power in this forest, which can make almost all means of communication completely useless.The only thing that can work here is the magic pointer that can always point to the abandoned town in the forest.

"Then, are we going to that town next?"

Woodrona, who was following in the team, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked cautiously.

"The only direction now is there, but it is estimated that there is no way to get there smoothly. After all, there are quite a lot of troublesome things here."

Disma said very seriously, looking at the darkness at the far end of the tree, as if he wanted to see clearly what was hidden behind the darkness.

And at this moment, around them, the stench was spreading.

It was one after another, spiders with human faces, and now they have been chopped up, blasted, torn, frozen, cracked and shattered, lying all over the ground in various ways of death, densely packed A lot fell to the ground.

Not long ago, these spider monsters suddenly appeared and attacked them. They probably felt that the hunter team had brought a burden without combat effectiveness, maybe it was a soft persimmon that could be manipulated at will.But it was obvious that they picked the wrong opponent, so the entire spider group was directly wiped out, and none of them survived.

"...Let's go."

The hunter standing at the front spoke hoarsely, and walked forward first.

Tardiff spat, holding a hatchet and Disma on one side to guard against possible enemies on both sides and behind.

The hunter stood at the forefront of the team, advancing step by step according to the direction pointed by the pointer.

In the quiet forest, there seemed to be no other people at all, only their own breathing and heartbeat.However, this hallucinatory experience has not been paid attention to by a few people after encountering those spider monsters before. After all, they know that there are quite a lot of hidden scary things in this ghostly place. superior.

I don't know what's going on with Abigail...

The hunter couldn't help worrying about the girl's situation.

Although he knew that Abigail now possessed a certain degree of self-protection ability, and was not a child who could only rely on the protection of others.However, in the face of a truly bloody and brutal fight, the hunter didn't think that Abigail was ready to face such a thing, so he couldn't suppress his worry.

It's really... annoying...

Continue to move deeper, walking deeper into the entire forest.

The road became more and more rugged, and those twisted roots almost completely covered the entire ground, connecting every tree to each other.

Hunters had to trek back and forth between these several-meter-high tree roots, and sometimes even had to rely on some relatively low branches to move forward.

Some stinks began to spread, some resembling the filthy force that would be emitted after infecting the living body, enough to make anyone with a normal sense of smell and a normal mind frown. Hair thickened.

The hunter and Disma noticed that there were signs of rot on some trees. This statement is a bit strange, because those marks are more like the appearance of rotten meat.After the bark cracked and peeled off, something that didn't feel like a tree but more like rotten and dried flesh appeared.

Sometimes, they would even see faintly human hands protruding from the cracks in some tree trunks, withered, twisted corpses that even lost their appearance as humans, hidden in these existences.

Among the cracked trees, I don't know what the reason is.

"This is something from the first logistics team, a small hammer, which seems to be used by apprentices."

After advancing for a certain distance, Disma found some small things on the ground.

"Are they around here? Hey, is anyone there!?"

Tardiff roared loudly, startling Woodrona on the side.

A certain deep roar responded to Tardif, and a black figure suddenly sprang out. It was an ugly monster with all kinds of strange limbs and huge tumors, which seemed to be a fusion of a deer and a human. At the same time, it used human hands. and hooves to support the body.

This thing obviously didn't know what fear was at all. As soon as it came up, it went directly to the hunter closest to it, and then it was split in half by the broken giant sword on the spot, turning into broken flesh and blood that fell on the ground and slowly dissipated.

Following the direction of the deer-shaped monster, the four of them advanced a certain distance, and finally found the logistics team's...

Uh, dead body.

"Tommy and Lodikon, these two apprentices, have they been separated from the others..."

In a pile of bushes, two mutilated corpses that had eaten most of them looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

The hunter stared at the two corpses holding hands together, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Disma went straight up and rummaged through the two of them without thinking the corpses were dirty, and finally found a neatly folded sheet on the apprentice named Tommy, without any A suicide note with stains on it.

"Have you prepared the suicide note in advance? If possible, I will try my best to bring it back for you."

Sighing softly and shaking his head, Disma closed the eyes of the two, stood up and looked at the hunter behind him.

There is nothing worth paying attention to left around. It seems that these two apprentices came to this place hand in hand. As people who basically have no fighting power, they can go deep into this kind of place. In a sense, it can be said that Quite lucky, but judging from the final outcome, it may be more appropriate to say that it is a greater misfortune.After all, if they encounter ordinary monsters outside, they may still be able to escape, but if they encounter powerful monsters inside, there is only one possibility for the ending.

Next, it's almost time to move on.

Disma stood up and walked back to the hunter, and the group continued to move forward.

Swish - Swish Swish -

It seems to hear something?

The hunter stopped and looked around.

Nothing out of the ordinary was seen, and the surroundings seemed completely normal.

Swish-

I heard the rustling sound hidden among the trees again.

The hunter turned around abruptly, and cast his gaze to the several giant trees behind him, and to the place where the winding roots of those giant trees protruding from the ground meet.

And also at this time, a twisted tree root suddenly trembled, rushed up at an astonishing speed, and directly attacked the four-person team where the hunter was.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish

The twisted branches quickly passed through the dense forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The hunter put away the meat saw and stared at the chopped branch in front of him, which was still wriggling and struggling on the ground. There seemed to be some deep meaning brewing in his gaze.

"It's the branch of that bullshit demon tree again, this ghost thing is really everywhere."

Tardiff spit out a mouthful of phlegm and said very displeasedly.

【Bloodbound Demon Tree】, a tree that exists inside the Cursed Forest. It is said that it used to be a famous spiritual tree, but now it has been completely transformed into a twisted and terrifying monster under the infection and erosion of filthy power.

The hunting god team was attacked by this magic tree when they first entered the cursed forest, coupled with the attack of a large number of filthy monsters, finally led to the dispersion of the entire team.

But now, this thing is still constantly attacking the hunters in this forest. That is to say, if this magic tree cannot be destroyed, more hunters will be hurt, or even killed. killed in the forest.

At this moment, the hunter's eyes became cold.

"hunter?"

Seeing the hunter standing still, Disma came up and called him suspiciously.

"You...go first..."

Raising his head, the hunter's aura has changed at this moment.

"You...go to the town first..."

"I... came to hunt... that magic tree..."

The entire hunting god team was torn apart, a large group of people disappeared, and they are still hurting people.

Hunter doesn't intend to let this thing continue to do evil.

"Are you sure?"

Disma didn't choose to persuade the hunter not to do this, but asked earnestly with a frown.

"Um……"

Nodding slightly, the hunter stared at the branch that had turned into ashes and dissipated. He jumped up from the huge tree root he was stepping on, and landed on another twisted and entangled tree not far away. root, and then quickly ran further away to get away.

As a hunter, the hunter is still very capable in tracking and investigating the traces of the prey, so as to find the prey and start hunting.

Forceful.

The superhuman speed was fully displayed, and the hunter easily crossed a distance of tens of meters in two or three steps, followed the direction that the escaped branch had passed, and walked through the extremely dark forest.

【Roar! ! ! 】

A roaring sound suddenly sounded from not far away.

The hunter raised his head and saw an extremely tall giant-like humanoid monster with only blood holes left in both eyes.

This thing kept howling and waving its hands indiscriminately, making depressions and cracks in the surrounding trees.The hunter noticed that there were still a lot of burn marks and some kind of shock wave marks on this thing's body. Obviously, it should have fought with a certain hunter team.

Can't kill the opponent, just blind the eyes and expel it?

The hunter was thinking about possible developments, and the giant monster seemed to have sensed the hunter's existence, roaring and pounced, the giant palm was blowing with a gust of wind, and it was about to shoot the hunter standing on a tree root on the spot. flat.

boom!

Splintered sawdust flew in all directions.

The giant who lost his eyes roared and continued to punch, completely knocking down the tree root.

Then suddenly, it felt something standing on its back, right on its own back.

In the roar of anger, it shook its body violently, trying to shake the opponent off, and then a sharp pain was released from its back.The hunter's meat saw pierced into its flesh and blood without knowing when, and it swayed left and right as the monster struggled to shake its body, tearing more and more parts of its back.

The angry roar quickly turned into a mournful howl, and the hunter jumped down when the opponent was about to hit a tree with his back, raised his pistol in mid-air, and shot a mercury bullet directly into the opponent In the shattered eye socket, it caused even more pain to this thing.

The heavy wind sounded suddenly, and the furious monster slapped it down again, but it still flew away.

The hunter had already moved to the side of the falling palm at some point, Grendel drew out his long sword, directly pierced that arm, and then activated the ability of freezing, directly freezing the entire hand of the monster on the ground.

The howling sound seemed to be a bit panicked at this moment. The monster tried to pull out its hand, but it couldn't do it.The hunter stepped on its arm and rushed forward, and the threaded cane thrust forward, directly penetrating into the giant's eye socket, causing the third damage.

The next moment, the giant soul arrow was released directly from the monster's brain at zero distance, and with a roar, its entire brain was smashed to pieces, and a huge hole was directly blasted out of the back of its head.

【Roar……】

The roaring sound gradually weakened, and the huge monster that lost its voice slowly fell down, unable to stand up again.

The hunter waved his cane to his side lightly, sprinkled a little bit of black blood, then walked to the giant's nailed arm, pulled out the cold long sword, and handed it to the messenger who had been following him , and then continued to move forward.

As more and more invisible echoes are absorbed, the combat power increases more and more. This kind of monster, which is already very threatening to hunters, is already a monster that cannot even cause trouble for today's hunters. something.

However, there was still a slight delay.

The hunter searched carefully among the woods, and soon found the traces left by those branches.

Well, the traces here are fairly fresh.

Taking a step forward, the hunter continued to move forward and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

All the way to follow the traces left by those branches with the ability to move, all the way deep into the darker and colder area.

The temperature in the air seemed to start to drop, and a deep chill spread around.

The hunter gradually began to feel a little oppressive force coming from the front. Obviously, the unknown magic tree can exist in the cursed forest for many years without being attacked by any hunter team, which in itself means that its power level must be Tall and powerful.

Ok……

Hunter smells something.

Something fresh, obviously the smell of blood.

The smell of human blood.
