All my hunting commissions come from another world?

......

Twenty minutes later, the Rhodes Island SUV came to a smooth stop on the edge of the mobile city, and Aline and the others got out of the car one after another.

Looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, Elena frowned. She hated rain; the sea creatures seemed more energetic on rainy days.

The city remained as deathly silent as ever. Elena looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets before her. Not far to her left was a pile of ruins, blasted out by her teacher with a hand cannon. Even now, the gap between her and her teacher was still vast.

The dim light and the occasional rustling sounds coming from the surrounding houses made Saltwind City even more eerie and gloomy than before.

Elene walked ahead carrying an oil lamp. As an inquisitor who had fought against Hai Si for so many years, her experience in dealing with Hai Si was undoubtedly the most extensive among those present.

She carefully observed the traces around her, and then stopped in front of a house.

"Elena, have you found anything?"

"There should be a sizable group of sea creatures here."

Looking at the Nethermarks at her feet, Elena made a judgment: these Nethermarks, which resemble swarms of fungi, only grow in places with abundant marine life. Their main function is to transport nutrients and create favorable terrain.

With one hand holding a cannon and the other holding a lantern, Elena gently pushed open the door to the room. Her expression was very focused; if she sensed anything amiss, she would fire without hesitation.

The lantern's light illuminated the entire room, but apart from the necromantic marks crawling all over it, Elena didn't find a single dinosaur.

"Near Light, Rosemary, get ready, something's not right here."

Despite the numerous traces of the Netherworld, not a single dinosaur could be detected. It's as eerie as eating instant noodles and finding only the seasoning packet left in the box, while the noodles themselves sprouted legs and ran away.

At Elena's prompting, the group continued deeper into Saltwind City, but apart from the numerous Nethermarks scattered everywhere, Elena and her companions found nothing else.

They didn't hear the sound until they were completely deep in the city center.

The sounds of some kind of animal's hiss, indistinct roars, and Hai Si's voice.

Elena winked at Nearl, and judging from Nearl's expression, she had obviously noticed the commotion over there as well.

"Shuiyue, you and Rosemary go find that Deep Sea Bishop, Elena and I will go over there and take a look."

Without hesitation, Lin Guang quickly issued the order. She and Xiao Niao were much more agile than Shui Yue and the others, and could escape at any time even if there were a large number of Hai Si there.

"Be careful."

After Shuiyue finished speaking, she and Rosemary headed towards the church, while Elena and Nearl walked towards the direction from which the sound came.

————————————————————————

Zhou Si gently placed the sea foam in the petri dish. This child was very lucky. Although most of the data from the entire Deep Sea Research Institute had been transferred, the sea foam seemed to have been forgotten by the researchers.

By using a portion of the power of the Sea God, Zhou Si calmed down the highly active Sea Spawn cells in Hai Mo's body. At this point, Zhou Si was able to use some of the power of growth.

Looking at his palm, Zhou Si noticed that as the Sea Transformation lasted longer, he vaguely sensed that not only the Sea Transformation cells transformed by the predators, but even his own cells were showing some of the characteristics of Sea Transformation cells.

Now he is becoming more and more adept at transforming his body, and can even do some things that he never dared to think about before.

After entrusting Haimo to the doctor's care, Zhou Si looked at the hunters beside her.

“This search isn’t going to work. We might need to go back to Saltwind City. Cicero must know more information.”

Ulpian put down the documents in his hand and nodded. They had searched for a long time, and all that was left were useless scraps of paper. Zhou Si's idea coincided with his.

Instead of recklessly searching for the whereabouts of those deep-sea followers, it would be better to go back and find that deep-sea bishop to learn more information.

At least for now, the bishop seems to be able to communicate normally.

The group returned to the ground in the direction they had come from, while Zhou Si, who was at the back, ignited the laboratory with a burst of dragon flame before returning to the ground as well.

Haimo was carried on Grandia's back, and Ulpian and Ghost Shark obviously didn't need to worry. Zhou Si glanced at the Doctor, who had a bitter expression on his face.

The doctor walked over with his head down, resigned, and let Zhou Si pick him up.

"Then I'll take the first step."

Zhou Si spread his wings again and, amidst the bewildered gazes of the deep-sea hunters, carried the Doctor into the sky.

"What exactly is he?"

Specter, carrying his training greatsword, once again voiced the thoughts of the two beside him.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Killing... the Sea!!!

Eleanor and Nearl gradually moved closer to the direction from which the sound came, but the closer they got, the more Eleanor felt a part of her body warning her not to go any further.

The little bird continued walking in that direction with the lantern, expressionless, but Lin Guang keenly sensed that something was wrong with her.

"Elena, are you alright?"

"No need to worry, let's just keep going."

The little bird stubbornly shook its head, which made Nearl a little worried, since Dr. Kal'tsit had originally not allowed Eileen to come along.

But the little bird used her experience as a judge to persuade Kal'tsit to agree to Eileen's support.

However, at the same time, Kal'tsit also instructed Nearl to keep an eye on Eline before she set off. The Sealing cells in the little bird's body were not a problem, but if she came into contact with more Sealing blood, she was very likely to have a rejection reaction, and in severe cases, she might even have flesh deformities.

Nearl kept Kal'tsit's words in mind; if things went wrong, she would immediately take Eline away.

"Right over there."

The sounds of the battlefield grew closer, and Eleanor and Nearl quickened their pace. As they crossed the last obstacle, the horrific battlefield came into view.

A knight riding a highly evolved Hysterian warhorse and wearing Kazimierz-style armor was seen wielding his lance, slashing and thrusting, each attack taking the lives of many Hysterians.

The scene before them made Eleanor and Nearl's eyes widen. As children who grew up in Kazimierz and Iberia, they were all too familiar with the image of the knight in front of them.

Margaret Nearl read the novel, The Last Knight, countless times during her childhood, and the scene of the knight charging towards the sea at the end had stirred her heart countless times.

This was one of the reasons that led her to become a Radiant Knight.

"The Tide Hunter Knight...isn't that a legend..."

Elene was no less shocked than Nearl, and the story of the Tidehunter Knight was widely circulated in Iberia.

However, it seems that the Tide Hunter Knights are indeed charging towards the 'sea' without stopping, just as described in the story.

On the battlefield, Hai Si's blood had dyed the land a deep blue, like the sea, under the knight's tireless charge.

The number of sea bream gradually decreased until there were none left.

The last knight stood in the very center of the battlefield, surrounded by the bodies of the sea monsters, enough to form a small mountain. Eleanor and Nearl hid behind a building not far away, quietly observing the scene.

But the next moment, the two were stared at by a cold gaze. The last knight steed turned his horse around and prepared to charge again.

Its spearhead was pointed directly at Elena.

When Elena was targeted by the Tide Hunter Knight, she felt her hair stand on end and instinctively drew her rapier and hand cannon, pointing them in the direction of the Tide Hunter Knight.

At this moment, Nearl and Elene finally heard the voice of the Tidehunter Knight.

"Kill...the sea..."

A hoarse voice, like that of a demon from hell, rang out in front of the two. The warhorse Rosinant took off, its hooves now completely transformed by the sea, and the earth trembled with the sound of its hooves, which also made Eleanor's heart pound with tension.

Just as the little bird tried to avoid it, it was held down by Nearl.

She had heard her father describe the scene of the Silver Spear and Pegasus charging forward: the earth shook, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the tip of the knight's spear would be firmly locked onto his target. If he wanted to dodge, there was only one way: to seize that one-thousandth of a second opportunity.

Golden light coalesced into wings behind Margaret, her brilliant golden pupils fixed on the tip of the Hunter Knight's spear.

She had promised Dr. Kal'tsit that she would protect Elene and the others.

For a knight, keeping promises is the most basic and important principle.

For the Tidehunter Knight, traversing hundreds of meters was but a blink of an eye, and the lance stained with the blood of countless sea creatures arrived before Nearl in the blink of an eye.

But Lin Guang remained calm; she was waiting for that one and only opportunity...

It's now! ! !

The wings of light behind him bloomed instantly. Just as the spear tip was about to touch Elene, the Radiant Knight pushed Elene aside and thrust his sword into the side of the lance. This force successfully deflected the direction of the spear tip.

For the first time, there were survivors amidst the charge of the Tide Hunters.

Lin Guang pulled Elene up from the ground. Her movements had been a little rough, causing the bird to roll around on the ground a few times.

But this wasn't a miscalculation on her part. The moment the Tidehunter Knight approached, she felt a chill creep up her body, which slowed her down for a second. Fortunately, she managed to recover.

Elene couldn't help but shiver. Her long, gray hair was now covered with a layer of frost, and her hand holding the sword trembled slightly, only calming down under Nearl's Originium Arts.

But this was only the first wave of the Tidehunter Knights' charge.

Amidst the grim expressions of the two, the Tidehunter Knight had already turned his horse around, the tip of his spear once again pointing at Elena.

"Lin Guang, this can't go on."

"I can't outrun a knight's charge, so it's difficult to escape directly."

Lin Guang's answer did not surprise Eline. She took a deep breath, and the little bird's eyes gradually became resolute.

"Near Light, I'll draw its attention, you attack."

Elene's decision worried Nearl, but the opposing Tidehunters had already begun their second charge, leaving them no time to discuss plans.

"...clear."

Lin Guang decided to trust Elene and was prepared to provide assistance at any time.

Eleanor stared intently at the knight's movements. Due to its transformation into a sea creature, its intelligence was not very high, so its charging speed and trajectory were actually quite rigid. Eleanor had reacted to the charge just now, but the frost had slowed down her dodging movements.

But even if her body couldn't move in time, she still had other ways to evade.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of the Tidehunter's spear was once again in front of Elene, and the familiar coldness crept into her body once more.

boom--! ! !

With a deafening roar, Elene's hand cannon exploded, sending the ground not far from her flying.

But this also allowed them to evade the charge of the Tidehunter Knights.

Meanwhile, Nearl was already prepared. Light gathered on her sword and spear, and the Originium Arts that the Nearl family was so proud of shone brightly in her hands.

The next moment, the giant spear of light successfully knocked the Tidehunter Knight off his warhorse!

Chapter 40 The Crimson Star Returns! (4k)

The light spear shattered the armor of the Tidehunter Knight, and beneath the broken armor plates, the flesh and blood, now completely transformed by the sea, forcibly clung the armor plates to its body.

The once-powerful Tide Rider is no longer human; over countless days and nights, its body has become indistinguishable from that of its prey.

Its spirit has long since been reduced to the thought of charging towards the sea.

Like a machine, the Tide Hunter Knights relentlessly charged at all the surrounding sea creatures, never stopping.

That's why it immediately targeted Elena, whose body contained Haisi cells.

Simply knocking the Tidehunter off its horse wouldn't stop its movement, but it was undoubtedly a very good opportunity to escape the battlefield.

Nearl didn't want to continue fighting this knight; their goal was to find the Doctor and Bishop Cicero. She was about to step forward and leave with the little bird.

But the next moment, a bone-chilling cold crept up Lin Guang and Aileen's backs.

Centered on the Tide Hunter Knight, a chilling wave instantly spread from its body, and the blood of the Sea Kings on the ground froze into a blue ice surface, transforming the ruins into a world of ice and snow.

The knight raised his lance again, while in his other hand he gripped a longsword made of solid ice.

Accompanied by the teeth-grinding scraping sound of the armor plates, the voice of the Tidehunter Knight gradually became higher and higher. Even though Elena and the others still couldn't quite hear what it was saying, they could still feel the killing intent in its words.

Nearl activated Originium Arts once more, dispelling some of the chill from the two of them. Elene's teeth chattered slightly, but she still managed to grip her sword and hand cannon tightly.

She has gradually adapted to the cold.

The Tidehunter Knights didn't give them time to react. They raised their hands and unleashed a chilling blue sword aura. Eleanor and Nearl immediately scattered to the sides.

Even though the attack from Lin Guang had just caused considerable damage to the knight, it seemed that its eyes were only on Elene, who was not far away.

The Tide Hunter crouched low, as if flying close to the ice. Even without its mount, its speed was no less than before.

However, due to the ice beneath her feet, Elena's movement became even more difficult.

The impact of the hand cannon had already caused her considerable damage. If it happened again, even if Elinne dodged the Tidehunter Knight's attack, she would basically lose her ability to fight.

Seeing this, Lin Guang wanted to help, but just as she was about to move, she found that her legs were frozen in ice. It was this momentary obstacle that caused her this problem.

Nearl missed her last chance to help Elene.

As the knight drew closer, Elena prepared to fire again, but this time she didn't intend to fire at the ground. Instead, she pointed her hand cannon at the Tidehunter Knight.
