Blood of the Hunting God

As for the guys lying in the alley, who have lost their voices, this kind of thing is very common in the slums, and after a while, someone will naturally collect the corpses.Abigail will not sympathize with these guys and show mercy. You must know that these guys came in to kidnap her and sell her to the Women's Branch.

The layout of the streets around the entire slum has been roughly understood.

Abby also recorded all the secret sentries and various patrol routes and patrol points.

Abigail does not plan to go to the residential area outside the slum for the time being. It is a place where ordinary residents live. Unlike the complex environment of the slum, it is easy for him to be found as a stranger from outside. If he is not careful, he may As a result, the entire Hunting God team was exposed.Abigail did not go to investigate the territory occupied by the Bloodfinger Gang inside the slum. There are gang members everywhere, and many of them seem to be just gangsters. It is wise to go to such places during the day.

Monrodez followed the girl carefully, and the two of them circled the street. After Abby confirmed that there were no other followers, they returned to Monrodez's hut.

Then, Abigail took out paper and a pen from her small backpack, carefully drew the general layout of the streets outside the slum, and added information such as every sentry point that needed attention.

There are six main roads, 67 alleys and [-] trails around the entire slum.

The church personnel assigned here are mainly knights serving the gods and fighting nuns. There are not many of them, about fifty in total.These people basically do not move during the day, and only wait until after dark, after the moon has set, to conduct night patrols.

Knights of God patrol the streets in groups of two, Sisters of Battle patrol the streets in groups of three, and there are also teams of two Battle Sisters and one Knight of Gods mixed.Basically every street has a patrol team assigned to kill anyone who is found out at night, and even those who stay at home must turn off all light sources and not make too much noise, otherwise they will be killed. They will also break into the homes of residents and kill them.

That is to say, any behavior that can be called suspicious, these church members will treat it with an attitude of killing the wrong, and there is no possibility of any luck.

"The southeast side of the slum is quite close to the church district and the noble district."

The girl's gaze was fixed on one side of the rough map she had drawn.

Probably figured out a lot of things, but if you want to get further information, you have to wait until night.

Speaking of which, Mister Hunter hasn't come back yet.

Abigail's eyes could not help but turned to the side of the house, to the dug sewer entrance in the house that was still emitting a bad smell.

Mr. Hunter, how is the situation now?Have you successfully found anyone else?

I hope there will be no surprises.

Walking here from Xingkong Town, I have already lost a lot of people who used to travel together, don't continue to lose...

The girl whose mood gradually became heavy, sighed in a low voice, and silently prayed for the hunter.

-

While Abigail on this side successfully obtained all kinds of information, the hunter on the other side had already penetrated into the sewer area and returned to the ant nest that he and the girl had discovered before.

The road back to the Eternal City has been blocked by collapsed rubble. Although it is not impossible to reopen the road with brute force, considering that the people of the church are probably still active in the ruined city, this behavior is obviously Too much danger and uncertainty, so the hunter gave up this idea after a short thought.

Then, you can only find a way to find other passable roads.

Thinking like this, the hunter crossed the huge sewage lake next to the ant nest, looked at the collapsed rock formation on the side, and looked at the deeper darkness where the water roared and flowed.

I don't know where this burrow leads.

However, rather than wandering around dizzily in the sewer, perhaps this is indeed a path that can be considered.

Standing on the edge of the muddy sewage waterfall, the hunter took a step after a short thought and jumped directly.

whoosh-

The sound of the wind gradually amplified in the ears.

Gravity captured the hunter's body, and the speed of the fall began to gradually increase. In the dim light of the lighting technique, the hunter looked around, beyond the rugged rocks, watching them rise rapidly as he fell.

Well, this is...

As he fell, he gradually saw something different.

Among the rocks, there are the remains of some buildings.

in this piece

After exceeding the depth of the Eternal City, extremely deep underground, among the broken rock formations, the hunter saw the remains of buildings distributed among the rock formations, most of which were almost merged into one, and it was difficult to separate them from each other.

In the depths of the Eternal City in that ancient era, there really are even more ancient ruins.

How many secrets are still buried underground in the capital of stars?

What happened here in the past to make it what it is today?

In the thoughts, the sound of the wind is still circulating rapidly.

Originally, I just wanted to investigate and confirm the situation below, to see if I could find a way to the Eternal City, but it turns out that this place is so deep?

After falling for more than five or six kilometers, the hunter finally touched the ground.

Boom!

Amidst the heavy vibration, the hunter stepped on a shallow pit on the rocky and muddy ground.

Falling from such a high place, the hunter's body did not suffer even the slightest damage.It is true that his physical fitness is extremely strong, which has far exceeded the upper limit of human beings, but at the same time, after defeating the goddess of the earth, he seems to have established a certain connection with the earth, so as long as he falls on the solid ground There is no need to worry about the possibility of injury at all.

So, is there any other road connecting this place with the above?

Taking out the threaded cane, the hunter looked around and found that the place where he fell was on the bank next to a sewage river.

The river of sewage flows deeper into the darkness, with no end in sight.In another direction, the hunter saw a huge building with most of its structure integrated into the rock, which looked a bit like a church.

After thinking for a while, he took a step and approached the architectural ruins in this dark world.

Chapter 34: The Church of Forgotten

What is this place?

It seems to be a very familiar building, um, where have you seen something similar?

The footsteps jumped up and landed on the square in front of this huge church that was half-integrated into the rock formation. After stepping through the half-collapsed dry garden, the hunter arrived at the gate of the church.

Most of the structure of the church has been integrated into the rock formation, and now the remaining part is basically in a dilapidated state. The sewage washed down from the sewer made the cave very humid, and the water vapor eroded the rock structure. The constructed churches appear to be eroded and dilapidated.

The hunter raised his head and saw a huge statue, a broken statue that could no longer be distinguished from its original appearance, and could only be vaguely seen as a woman.

Will there be something here?

For a while, it seemed that there was nothing special about it.

To be honest, the hunter felt a little itchy. He was actually willing to spend his time exploring this unknown and mysterious place.But considering the current situation of his teammates is unclear, if too much time is wasted in such unnecessary places, there may be problems.Therefore, even though he had many thoughts in his heart, the hunter could only regretfully choose to give up, and was about to turn around and leave this place.

"……Um?"

If he hadn't found those footprints on the ground.

Someone has been here.

And it came recently.

Crouching down, the hunter looked at the footprints on the ground, stained with sewage and mud.

The size of this footprint, um, and the traces of shoe prints, should be Alhazred's footprints.Only that guy would show off wearing high-end leather shoes during dangerous hunting missions. I don't know if it's because of the scholar's self-esteem or other weird things.Even so, it must be admitted that thanks to this guy's desire to express himself and reflect his different personalities, the hunter was able to quickly determine his identity.

That mystic scholar, has he come to this place?

The footprints are quite fresh, it should have been within a few hours, and the other party should not have left this area.

Considering Alhazred's longing for various hidden ruins and his admiration and love for lost ancient civilizations, the hunter realized that the other party might be in this cathedral.

Where will it be?

Standing up, the hunter quickly approached the door of the church.

There is no way to open it, the entire gate has almost merged with the rock, and it seems that the gate has no signs of damage.

That's right, the mystic scholar was quite cautious when dealing with these civilization relics.This is in stark contrast to the hunters who are reckless when things go wrong, and it is precisely because of this that after the team adventure in Blue Lake Town, Alhazred never called out after discovering any mysterious relics. Come hunters to explore together.Well, probably that bombardment of the database really hurt him a lot?

In short, find out where the other party entered from.

The hunter took a few steps in the area outside the church building that did not merge with the rock formation, looked around and searched, and it didn't take too long. He found a cave-in on the wall and found another shoe print there.The mystic scholar had spent a bit of thought on dealing with his traces, but it was still slightly insufficient compared to more professional people.The hunter cleared the footprint, then climbed over the hole in the wall, and then fell into the dark interior of the church.

tread--

The moment he landed on the stone road, the hunter heard a crisp sound.

This sound echoed in the deep church, and almost immediately, in the depths of the darkness, the hunter saw a bright light of fire, followed by Alhazred's serious face appeared behind the fire light, and the bright lighting The hunters under the cover of the technique looked at each other.

"Your appearance startled me, Lord Hunter."

The mystic scholar nodded slightly, stepped out of the darkness, and came in front of the hunter.

"……other people?"

The hunter looked around again, and after confirming that Alhazred was the only one here, he asked.

"It's separated, and I don't know their situation."

The mystic scholar shook his head, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

"Those gargoyle monsters were chasing very closely, and it was already very late at that time. I didn't dare to fight back and make too much noise to attract the attention of the church, so I could only walk as far as possible to the narrow area where those things couldn't get in, and the result was Deep into a cave that winds down, and then all the way to this place."

As he spoke, Alhazred looked around, and his tone couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

"I really didn't expect that I would find such a place. The underground of the star capital, where I stayed for a long time, actually hides such a secret."

"It's really exciting, an irresistible excitement. This is, this is the Church of the Mother God, it is the missionary place of Dave Dora, and it is the relic of the mother of all living beings on this planet."

In the emotional voice, the hunter could see the excitement in the scholar's eyes.

The church of Goddess of Reproductive Goddess Davedora?

The name surprised the hunter a little bit.

He knew this name. Abigail had introduced him to several gods on this land when he was in Fengrao Town. One of the most important gods in the gods, he was born with the birth of the planet together with the father god. It is their existence that all things are radiated by their power and grow stronger. Davedora, who has the power of life, was in the early days In the natural evolution, a lot of adjustments and optimizations have been made to the entire ecological circle. It can be said that today's human species developed under her cultivation.

Unlike the Earth Goddess, Twin Gods, and God of War who are close to humans and live together with humans, the Mother Goddess has always kept a certain distance from humans. She will not be too close, but she will not be indifferent.As one of the two oldest old gods, the Mother Goddess always treats the development of all things with an absolutely neutral attitude. She will express regret and sorrow for the life eliminated in the natural development and the race that ended between the rise and fall of civilization. But she will not stop them, and those races and individuals that have developed strongly will never receive her special attention.

In some unofficial legends, there is a saying that the mother goddess who excessively interfered with natural evolution had caused great trauma to civilization, and even caused some kind of rebellion and contradiction. Therefore, she chose to keep a distance from humans and respect natural evolution. interfere in any way.

Also after that, because they could no longer get a response, the human beings who originally believed in the Mother God gradually decreased. Although small and medium-sized believers have always existed, it is impossible to build such a large church.

Therefore, this also means that the age of this church relic probably dates back to a very early period.Maybe it's very likely that the first filthy invasion hasn't happened yet, and the old gods and humans still lived on the original planet in a long time ago.

Would you encounter such a ruin here?

"At the beginning, I didn't dare to confirm that this was the church of the Mother God, but, as a scholar, I am very clear about the architectural features of the churches of various old gods. Such a large scale, such a beautiful place, is actually hidden in an underground ruined city, hidden under a dirty sewer, who would have thought of such a thing? Such a place... such a place... ..."

Alhazred, who was just sighing normally, became a little excited as he spoke.

Such a hidden relic from such a long time ago must be able to find valuable things.

The blood of the mystic scholar as an investigator boiled for a long time at this moment.

Then, he suddenly became aware of his companion, and realized what the companion next to him had done before.

Destroy the wall casually, bombard the database...

The hunter with the muscle growing in his head, if he explores this place with himself...

"The future is long, there is no need to force it for a while, let's go, Lord Hunter, let's go find other companions."

So, Alhazred, with a serious expression, patted the hunter on the shoulder, and suggested to him very seriously.

"?"

The hunter, who had already been told that he wanted to explore, was stunned for a while when he saw the serious look of the mystic scholar.

Chapter 35: Assassins

In the end, Hunter and Alhazred did not go too deep into the ruins in front of them because the matter of finding teammates was more urgent.

After leaving a small mark, the occultist led the hunter to leave this place with some regrets, and headed towards a road leading to this ruin that he had found before, preparing to return to the eternal

City.

"Speaking of which, before you came, Lord Hunter, I had already investigated and explored that area. Well, this is my little discovery. This thing is not very helpful to my spells, but maybe it can be helpful. You also have Abby's little girl to play some role."

While speaking, Alhazred threw an amulet made of rags to the hunter.

The amulet itself has become very dilapidated after a long time, but the power contained in it has not faded.The hunter can feel that if he casts a spell while wearing this amulet, he should be able to slightly enhance the power of the spell.

Well, it is said that there is an increase, but overall the difference is not that big, it can only be said that nothing is better than nothing.

However, the appearance of this amulet...is it a female?

Although the sewn pattern itself was blurred and difficult to identify due to the age, the hunter still managed to recognize that it was sewn as if it were a woman.

Because it is an amulet issued by the Church of the Mother God, so is this the image?

The hunter didn't think much about it. After accepting the amulet, he left the church area with the mystic scholar, then entered the cave that Alhazred had discovered, and moved upwards.
