Blood of the Hunting God

Use this giant sword that is heavy enough to chop the incoming enemies into meat paste!

"……let's go."

Following the hunter's steady voice, the hunters started to act.

Gently, step forward.

Several figures had disappeared into the gravel field.

Naturally, hunters who would not choose to wait for the enemy to come to their door, chose to attack without hesitation after discovering that the enemy was coming to their door.Under the cover of the night, everyone moved forward silently, slowly approaching the enemy's direction among the gravel.

Are they surrounded from all directions?

This method of dispersing the fighting power of the personnel always feels that they seem to be underestimated.

After noticing the distribution of the enemies, William and Karnis couldn't help but have such thoughts in their hearts.

Nearly.

A little closer.

Slightly, some of them could be heard whispering.

"The target of the reward this time is only five people. To be honest, there is no need to send so many people. We have more than 50 people here. I feel a little too cautious."

Among the raiders dressed in black, one of them was complaining softly.

"Employers are not

Is it difficult to say something?Who knows if there will be a few warlocks mixed in here, anyway, it's right to be careful.Alright, don't talk so much nonsense, first set up the encirclement and slowly push in. After killing these guys in a while, I will buy you a drink. "

The other person continued, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"How much is the score for more than 50 brothers, tsk, there must not be much in my hand, hey, forget it... It's not bad to have a drink after a while."

The previous person complained in a low voice with some dissatisfaction, then patted the shoulder of the person beside him and said with a light smile.

"..."

Didn't get any response.

The companion who was talking about buying him a drink just now fell straight down following his movements.

Under the dim starlight, one could see a sharp throwing knife inserted into the man's neck at some point.

"Hey you--"

Shocked by this sudden situation, the man opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to shout out.

But before his voice came out, a hunting dog had already jumped out of the darkness, came up and directly bit the man's throat, the huge bite force exploded and bit off the man's neck bone on the spot, making the man roll his eyes and stop. die.

After that, the others around the two tried to move in panic, but Karnis, who was holding a short sword and a machete, had already sprung out from the darkness, easily killing the two of them with one blow. The sword brushed past and sprinkled blood, followed by William on the other side and swung a mace and smashed it on a person's head, smashing the opponent's cap on the spot, causing the eyeballs to protrude directly.

On the other side, some mercenaries who were also slowly advancing in the dark were walking and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Wait, there are 16 people on our side, right?"

The leader who was in charge of leading the team on this side turned around and found that there were only 8 teammates left behind him.

"Where did the others go?"

"Why didn't there be any sound at all and disappeared..."

"Obviously he was still by my side just now."

Fear, restlessness.

Something unknown seems to lurk in the darkness.

Unable to suppress, these people who were supposed to be hunters fell into the panic of being prey.

However, the panic soon disappeared.

Because the thing hidden in the darkness has directly appeared in front of them.

From the viscous liquid, from the stench of the strange breath, the tentacles of staggered and twisted teeth are squirming.

No one made any sound.

Because before the sound was made, they were already swallowed by those wriggling tentacles, and the process of chewing and digesting began.

"It can be said to be the most suitable ending for ignorant people."

In the darkness, Alhazred walked out slowly holding the skeleton candlestick in his hand, watching those struggling desperately before death, wriggling from under the tentacles and stretching out their fingers with difficulty, and were soon killed The expressions on the faces of people whose digestion has disappeared are not touched in the slightest.

Blood spread in the darkness.

The people who finally realized something was wrong and began to retreat in a hurry, then saw the hunter holding a huge sword blade blocking the retreat.

Swipe, cut, smash.

There was a little decent resistance at first.

The sword swung down, but was dodged before reaching the hunter's body.

The muzzle of the gun was raised to try to shoot, and then the hunter who didn't want to wake Abigail cut off his limbs or torso with one blow.

Screams are also not allowed, and hunters' attacks are always aimed at the neck or head, so as not to give the enemies a chance to scream when they are dying.

Three, seven, ten...

The casualties of the enemies who dared to resist the attack rose steadily.

But the hunter was still taking steps, swooping silently towards the rest of the people.

The strength gap between the two sides became more and more obvious at this moment.Therefore, the people who tried to resist were scared out of their wits at this moment, leaving only the instinct of fleeing for their lives.

However, soon, these mercenaries who fled in all directions found in despair that they could not even escape in front of the hunter.The other party appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and it was easy to catch up with them who were running for their lives with all their strength.

Then, until most of the mercenaries were completely wiped out.

The hunter's gaze turned to the few people who had put down their weapons since the beginning of the battle and stayed in place.

"Please, please wait a moment, we surrender, we and those mercenaries are not in the same team."

The leader among these people forced a smile on the hunter who was still walking towards them with blood on his body.

"We are members of the United Merchant Group, Your Excellency Hunter, we have been trying to find you and your team."

"Mr. Nicholas, the head of the business group, has always hoped to contact and cooperate with you after he knew about you, and devoted himself to the great battle to liberate mankind."

"It's just that your actions have always been secretive. We had no choice but to join this kind of mercenary in order to find clues about you."

While explaining, the leading man smiled and took out a key from his pocket.

"we

The business group holds an underground passage into the star capital, and is willing to provide it to you as the basis of our friendship.Are you willing to accept it, my lord hunter? "

Chapter 18: Heading Underground

"Um...this is..."

When Abigail was shaken awake by the hunter, she sat up from her sleeping bag, and followed her to see the mercenaries lying not far outside the camp. Those dead were in different shapes, but basically there were not many mercenaries who could be considered peaceful. them.

The camp was attacked? !

The girl who immediately woke up suddenly got out of the sleeping bag, and stretched out her hand, ready to summon the moonlight sword.But before she could act, the hunter had reached out his hand and knocked on her head lightly, calming the girl down.

"Well, it's over..."

After being stunned for a moment, she noticed William and the others standing around, and found that she was all well and fine, while the enemies were all lying down one by one, Abigail was relieved, and then a little bit blushing.

Everyone was aware of the enemy's arrival in advance, and she was the only one who slept soundly.

Slightly, it feels a bit embarrassing to say...

"Okay, this big sleepy girl, it's time to act now."

At this moment, William looked at Abigail and said with a smile, and the girl quickly realized the fact that everyone around her had already packed their luggage.

Without hesitation, the girl quickly folded her sleeping bag and packed it together with her belongings.In less than half a minute, Abigail changed from a sleepy state to a marching state ready to leave at any time.

"Do you want to evacuate here?"

Looking around, the girl asked the hunter and William beside her in a low voice.

"Well, although the scale of the battle has been reduced as much as possible, this place is too close to the Star Capital after all, and the smell of blood is likely to cause trouble."

William nodded, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Star Capital while talking, subconsciously showing a little fear in his expression.

"We next...have a place to go..."

The hunter's answer was a bit unpredictable, but after all, because he had been with the hunter for a long time, Abigail immediately understood that what the hunter meant was that their group was not simply avoiding the possibility. troubles, but there is a clear destination, and it is an action to go to a certain place.

Did you discover something that needs to be investigated?Or is there someone who has contacted the hunters and told them where to go?

The girl didn't know the answer, but she knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she quickly followed the hunters and the hunters, and quickly cleaned up the traces left behind and left the temporary camp.

It didn't take too long for the group to leave the area.Advance in this gravel field not too far away from the capital of stars.

The area around the entire star capital is basically a desert, just with weeds growing and rivers that span the entire star capital.The original terrain here does not seem to be like this, but has undergone some changes to become what it is today, but the reason for it is probably no longer known.

All in all, Abigail followed the hunters and arrived at the destination of the operation very quickly, a hole under several big rocks that was covered up very secretly.At this moment, several people were already waiting at the entrance of the cave.The girl noticed that the clothes worn by these waiting people were very similar to those who were killed just now, and she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.But she didn't open her mouth to speak, she just hid this doubt in her heart and followed the hunter silently, as if she was really just a child who didn't know anything.

"Thank you very much for your willingness to trust us."

"As we said, Mr. Nicholas is willing to do his best to support you. I believe we can have a good friendship."

The leading man smiled flatteringly, led the way for the hunter and others, and walked towards the underground passage first.

"We will know whether your Mr. Nichols is sincere or not. Let's go."

Alhazred stood up at this moment and spoke coldly, but a few words made these people in black shudder, and they didn't dare to speak out for a while.

Obviously, this mystic scholar who possesses inhuman power is quite a terrifying existence for mercenaries who do not have any strong combat effectiveness.After all, no one can guarantee when they will be cursed by the other party.

You know, many people have seen the tragic situation of the "wolf" who escaped after tipping off the news.

Stepping into the underground passage, you can immediately feel a little cold breath.

Abigail originally thought that this might be an underground cave or something, but it turned out that the longer and longer she walked, the narrow and dark road in front of her seemed to have no end at all, and she couldn't imagine how deep it was.

Along the way, William and Alhazred occasionally spoke and communicated with the leading man. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Abigail, who was secretly listening to the situation, gradually learned something.

That is to say, while he was still sleeping, Mr. Hunter and the others found around fifty mercenaries surrounding them, and then directly launched an operation to eliminate them.It turned out that these mercenaries were actually captured by the city

The noble, who was sent by a man named Hilbert, was just cannon fodder who didn't know who he was going to kill.As for the team led by this man, it was the United Merchant Group from the Star Capital. Because the Merchant Group had to obey the orders of the nobles, this team was sent out to join the battle.

However, the head of the business group, a big businessman named Nicholas, had a slightly different idea about this, so the people he arranged in this team did not participate in the battle from the beginning, but directly Surrender to the hunters and offer to lead them into the star capital.

Always thought it sounded suspicious.

Abigail couldn't help thinking this in the bottom of her heart.

However, Mr. Hunter and the hunters are not idiots. If the other party really has any problems, they naturally have a solution.So the girl didn't say anything, she just followed quietly, quietly acting as the audience, but her attention had turned to the surroundings, to the mercenaries led by men, and the surrounding environment.

"Unfortunately, at least on the bright side, Mr. Nichols has no way to resist the nobles and the church, so the help we can give is naturally quite limited. It is already up to us to provide this secret passage into the star capital. It's the limit now."

The leading man said to the crowd with a little apology, and the grotto, which was constantly winding downwards, gradually changed a little.

From narrow to gradually extended.

Gradually in the vagueness, I can start to see some kind of underground in front of me.

"Then, welcome everyone, come to this underground eternal city, this once glorious city that has been reduced to ruins."

Then, in the man's somewhat smug voice, everyone in the next moment saw the scenery in the underground world at the end of the cave.

Chapter 19: The Forgotten Eternal City

How do you describe what you see?

At this moment, Abigail fell into a rare loss of voice.

At the end of the dark cave is a city, an extremely huge ruined city.

In the dim light of the fire, it can be seen that the position of the cave they walked out of is actually on the top of the cliff on the edge of the city, and there is actually an extremely long distance up and down from the city.

A large number of broken buildings are mixed with each other, interlaced between the rock formations.The tall towers collapsed, making many dilapidated areas even more fragmented, and moss and vines covered many areas, covering up the ruins even more messy.But even so, as long as you take a look, you can still feel the size and grandeur of this city, even more magnificent than the capital of stars with its majestic city walls and moats on the ground.

"That's... a dragon?"
