Blood of the Hunting God

As Abigail said so, she pulled out her big sword, and the cold moonlight flowed on her body, adding a bit of domineering aura to the girl.

The people around were silent and did not move for a while.But soon, following Monrodez's first step, some people in a hurry followed suit, walking towards Abigail's direction.

"It's all bullshit!"

A bruised and unkempt man roared at this moment.

"If it wasn't for you hunting god squad, how could the church clean up the slums?"

"Obviously you are the murderers! Now you have the face to save us, shameless bastard, what is the difference between you and the church?"

The man who gritted his teeth stepped forward, pointed at Abigail and cursed directly, and all kinds of obscenities came out one after another.

"If the God of Hunting Squad doesn't come, the slums may not be cleared, but your ending will not change. The church's actions will only be delayed for a while at most."

Facing the man's anger, the girl just replied calmly, even though it was immediately exchanged for more violent curses.

"Everyone, don't be fooled by this little bitch!"

The man spat at the girl.

"The church didn't even think about what to do to us, it's all the fault of the hunting god team, it's all the fault of this bitch, this, this witch! It's her who caused us to be purged by the church, she is ours Enemy! Just kill-"

【Would you like to believe him or me? It's your business. I won't interfere】

Before the man continued to perform insanely, the girl mobilized her own strength to directly cover the man's roar with her own voice, so that all the people around could hear it clearly.

[I will take refuge with those who are willing to go, and I will protect those who believe in me]

[As for those who reject me, you are free to try to take mine down, you can try to see if you have the ability]

[As for believing in the church and what this man said, I have a question. The vast majority of you are not born poor, right?In the process of you falling from your original status in life to the present situation, has the church helped you?In other words, among the culprits that caused you to fall here, is there the church?If you really want to believe in such a church, if you really think that you can rely on my head in exchange for the church’s forgiveness, you can try it]

I slightly imitated Alhazred's mysterious scholar's sometimes yin and yang weird way of speaking. As far as the effect is concerned, it's pretty good.

The unkempt man suffocated and suffocated, obviously wanting to say something more, but he couldn't open his mouth because of the increasingly unkind gazes around him.

Regardless of the cohesion, at least for now, these frightened poor people are indeed on their side.

So the next key is the "method".

Abigail lowered her head and looked at the ground under her feet again.

Chapter 51: Elevators

"..."

In silence, the hunter opened his eyes.

Where are you now?

It was pitch black all around, and nothing could be seen.

He stood up, patted the dust off his body, then took out the burning stone, and pulled out a torch from his backpack.Soon the hunter lit the torch, illuminated the surrounding scene, and confirmed his location.

This is underground.

It is a deeper underground that is no longer within the scope of cognition, and almost no one has ever reached it.

So, what would be the place here?

The hunter couldn't help but recall some of the underground materials he had obtained from Marman before, as well as the buildings he encountered when he and Alhazred explored that deep area.

Is this the same place here?

Take a step forward and slowly move forward among the rubble piles.

The hunter's eyes turned to a standing man in front of him.

A man made entirely of stone, standing stiffly in place and raising his head, like a sculpture.

Is it just stone carvings?

Hunter isn't quite sure the answer.

Take a step forward and continue to move deeper.

Soon, another statue appeared in sight.

This time the statue is of a woman, kneeling on the ground, as if begging for something.

The statue itself was completely made of stone. The hunter tried to touch it with his hand, and the feeling from his hand told him that it was absolutely solid, and it was just a complete statue.

Go on, move forward in this dark place.

The third, fourth, and more and more statues began to appear in front of the hunter's eyes.

This seems to be a group of people who are fleeing.

Their steps were heading in the direction of the hunter. Some were running with all their strength, some fell to the ground, some were stepped on by others, and some raised their heads in despair. , seems to be looking at something.

The hunter turned his head, looked behind him, and looked in the direction those desperate people were staring at, but saw nothing.

What are these people running away from?

In previous exchanges with occultists, hunters already knew that the cathedrals of the mother goddess Davedora only existed in a relatively long time ago, so these are located in

The ruins deeper in the underground of the Eternal City should also be in that era, something in a long-lost era whose records have been lost.

What happened in the past made the Mother Goddess, who was once close to human beings, choose a neutral position.

That incident also caused these ancient human remains to sink into the ground, into the deeper, forgotten underground world.

why?

what's going on?

Why would a god who loves humans so much allow such a thing to happen?

Or……

During the gap of thinking, the hunter has already arrived at the place where these sculptures are running to, the place where these frozen sculptures originally wanted to escape.

It was a building, a building that was half-integrated into the rock and whose original purpose could not be seen.

The style of the building itself is very recognizable. It is similar to the style of the Mother God Church I saw before, and it can be seen that it is from the same era.It's just that the building itself is already in a relatively serious state of damage. The entrance is covered by the collapsed rubble, and several crushed statues can be seen, as well as statues kneeling and crying at the entrance.

They wanted to escape in, but they couldn't.

They were forced to face something, and then they became like this.

Are they real people, or are they just some kind of leftover records?

The hunter with the torch turned around and looked at the group of silent statues behind him.

Their positions seem to have changed slightly from just now.

"..."

He raised his head again and looked at the darkness above.

The hunter could feel that the people of the church were gradually approaching.

The dark light apostle will definitely try his best to kill him. The previous contest between the two sides was nothing more than a temptation. In the next contact, they will have to decide the outcome, life and death.Before that, I have to do something.

Without hesitation, the meat saw knife in the hunter's hand turned around and slashed out, splitting the stones blocking the entrance of the building.

Inside the dark building, a strange-looking thing appeared in the hunter's sight.

The hunter walked in with big strides, and found that in this small room there was an obvious square stone slab embedded in the ground, and a stone pillar was erected at each of the four corners of the slate, which propped up a statue like this. is some kind of platform somewhere.There is a raised part in the middle of the slate, which is a bit like a switch.

So the hunter who came forward came to the stone slab, stepped on the raised stone with a light foot.

click-

Something started up immediately.

Tremors gradually sounded from all around.

Then, the stone platform embedded in the ground began to move down slowly, gradually descending like this.

The hunter turned his head and looked at the entrance behind him.At some point, dozens of statues have blocked the entrance densely. Every statue is stretching out its hand towards the hunter, as if it wants to catch the hunter, or it seems that it just wants to step into this room. among.

At this moment, the hunter felt strong malice from these statues.

Was it once human, then transformed into a statue, and gradually transformed into some kind of monster again?

As the stone platform descended, the hunter soon lost sight of the distorted expressions on the faces of the statues.He just stood silently on this falling stone platform, quietly waiting for the moment when the platform stopped, silently calculating the depth of the descent.

It seems that this time there is no way to return to Abigail on time.

The way to come has been blocked by the people of the church, and now for the sake of overall stability, the dark light apostle must be held back, and a direct decisive battle cannot be made.Under such circumstances, hunters can only choose to travel deeper into this unknown underground ruins.

Where will it lead next?

There is no way to get an answer by asking, and only by going deeper can we find clues.

Although this is not the most important thing right now, if there is no better way for the time being, it can only be done first.I don't know if I can find some souvenirs that I can bring to Abigail to make the kid happy. In that case, it will be worthwhile to run around.

thump—

The cranky hunter stopped thinking at this moment and focused again.

This wonderful [elevator] has stopped.

But in front of the hunter, he had already seen a stone door that was ajar.

Chapter 52: Memory

The heavy door seems to have been closed for a long time.

With the arrival of the hunter, the door was slowly pushed open.

where is this place?

Dim red light scattered in the air.

The hunter took a step forward and walked towards the ruins of a city that was even more dilapidated than the Eternal City.

It seems that this place was originally a very prosperous place. You can see huge bridges, one tall building after another, and a luxurious palace far away.However, all of these things are showing a state of destruction.There was some kind of extremely terrifying force that almost crushed the entire city directly. To describe it specifically, it was like a huge roller rolling around the entire city, crushing most of the buildings. directly crushed.

Only a handful of buildings, and some roads located outside the city

The structure is still barely intact, but perhaps because it has been too long, even these barely intact buildings have basically collapsed into disrepair, and they are nothing more than dilapidated ruins.

Taking a step forward, the hunter moved forward, over the fallen building wreckage, and walked deeper into the city.

The light of dark red color was scattered and circulated.

These unknown rays of light scattered in mid-air, as if they were the remains of something alive.

Hunters can feel a little uncomfortable evil from these dark red rays of light. No matter what the original appearance of this light is, it is certain that it is definitely not something that can empathize with human beings, and it is not something that can live in peace.

It's getting more and more confusing.

In the underground of the star capital, these forgotten and nameless ruins, what kind of secrets did this ruined country come into contact with in the past, and why did it usher in such an ending?

If it is not the most important thing right now is to lure the people of the church into this area and hold them back, to be honest, the hunter actually wants to investigate and explore this place. After all, as a hunter, he does not only hunt monsters My biggest hobby is to investigate various ancient ruins to find treasures.

Continue to move forward, continue to go deeper and deeper.

The hunter thought about how to use the ruins to set up a place where he could fight with the church's pursuers, and a suitable place to deal with the dark light apostle.But soon, he couldn't help but stop.

there is something.

Though vision has not yet been seen, perception has responded.

In this ruin, something exists, and something is moving.

direction... distance...

Click!

The meat saw that popped out suddenly, as the hunter turned around, flew out like a wild beast, biting fiercely towards the front.

The initial feeling was that something solid was hit, and then, after the surface was shattered, the sound of blood and flesh tearing followed the next moment. During the violent shattering tremor, the hunter saw the thing he hit. .

statue.

It was a statue-like monster in a priest's robe, whose whole body including the clothes had been turned into rocks.

The meat saw sliced ​​into the torso of this thing, piercing through the surface stones, and under the surface, there was sticky and rancid blood flowing out of the inside, as well as festering, wriggling flesh and blood. .
