The Journey of the Demon Hunter

I wish my sister a longevity.

-----My sister who loves you most.

"Why use this word?" Zelin asked curiously.

"This..." Yusefka scratched his head, Qian smiled, "I learned too little. After seeing the book my sister gave me that day, I was thinking about how to reply. Later, someone told me this word and Always healthy, so I wrote like this... Is there anything wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Chapter 73 The Hunter and the Prey

Zelin cautiously placed the crossbow arrow on the crossbow.

Not far away, the figure was shaking. The demon hunter squatted halfway on the ground. About forty meters in front, there were four creatures wandering around. Everyone had weapons in their hands. They were stained with blood. They seemed to have been used. Maybe An unlucky guy ran into them outside, and the blood dripped down the arc of the axe, pulling a long trace on the ground. Zelin pulled the crossbow tightly and stared at them.

Three men and one dog... Tsk tsk, standard criminal gang.

Zelin closed his left eye, and the gap in the trigger and the crossbow arrow formed a straight line in front of his right eye. The crossbow arrows are very sharp, the arrows gleaming in the twilight. This is a very common crossbow arrow in the northern countries. Its biggest function is not to kill the enemy, but to penetrate the enemy's defense. When confronted with the Nilfgaards wearing heavy armor, they can often achieve unexpected results. The werewolf given Zelin had the most intuitive understanding of the strength of these mutant veterinarians. The werewolf's body was very hard, and the griffon silver sword was even stuck in the ribs at the final blow. It is speculated that veterinary disease is likely to strengthen the body of ordinary people, just in case he would rather use armor-piercing crossbows to deal with them.

When Zelin walked alone on the streets of Yanan, he realized why Gascoigne was very cautious when moving forward. Because veterinarians are very dangerous and seem to have a certain tactical thinking. For example, Zelin often sees enemies hiding behind at the corner, or sees one or two people squatting in the corner with their heads down. When he was about to go around, he suddenly violently attacked him with a chopping axe. If Zelin hadn't reacted much faster than ordinary people, he would inevitably be ambushed by these townspeople.

The crossbow arrow in his hand slowly moved down, and finally aimed at the townspeople holding the pitchfork at the end, and they all turned their backs to Zelin. This is a good thing. The demon hunter can solve the enemy one by one from the back to the front without causing other people's alertness. Although the veterinarian is very smart in some conveniences, in terms of sight and hearing, Zelin Thinking that they are degenerating, sometimes he can even pass behind them silently without being noticed.

Why do these little deaf-blind make the Healing Church that rules here like a big enemy... The demon hunter shook his head very puzzled.

Looking at the target not far away, Zelin gently squeezed the trigger, and the arrow shot towards the head of the townsman at the back, down to the left. With a bang, the grass in the hands of the townspeople fell to the ground, his body twitched suddenly, and his body, which had lost half of his head, fell to the ground. However, Zelin only heard the thump of his body when he fell to the ground, because after shooting the first arrow, he immediately turned around and hid his figure behind the wooden barrel on the side of the road. There is no need to look at the result, it is already confirmed when the arrow is shot out.

The second arrow is fragmented, that is, when the arrow enters the body, the arrow splits into three or four pieces, which makes it easier to chop the internal organs. It is usually used to hunt beasts and is especially liked by hunters living near forests. This kind of arrow. This not only ensures that the precious fur will not become worthless with too many arrows, but also allows the hunters to quickly counterattack the beast. After all, sometimes the first arrow does not make the beast incapable of action, then the hunter catches the second. The beast might have already threw them to the ground by the time of the arrow.

Zelin heard the gasping sound of the big dog.

His hunch tells him that the big dog might have noticed the situation here. The demon hunter leaned against the barrel, pricked his ears and listened carefully to the sound coming from behind.

Soon, the rustling of paws on the dusty ground appeared in his ears, and he even heard the ticking sound of saliva dripping from the big dog's mouth to the ground. With a sigh, Zelin touched the skinning knife on his waist with his right hand---a knife for close combat is more convenient than a long sword.

In the next moment, Zelin used his right leg and jumped out sideways. In an instant, the eyes of the big dog close at hand reflected in his pupils.

As if there was no emotion in his eyes covered with a gray mist, Zelin saw his reflection in it, but the reflection was replaced by a bloodthirsty light, and the **** mouth that cracked to the point of dividing the face began to widen. Zelin believes that if its mouth is fully opened, it can definitely bite a person's head in.

It's just that the demon hunter's reaction speed is faster than that of the beast. When the big dog's mouth is just beginning to open and its fangs are about to be exposed, the skinning knife nails its chin and upper jaw together from the bottom up.

With a successful blow, Zelin squatted down subconsciously, and pulled out the steel sword behind him to cross his chest. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the last townsman did not rush over like another person, but raised a weapon similar to Father Gascoigne's left hand and pointed at him. Although Zelin has not been able to figure out how this weapon works, this does not prevent him from analyzing it.

The townspeople are more than ten meters away from him, but they are in an attacking posture. Zelin believes that this weapon can definitely attack a target twenty meters away, just like a person holding a sword will not stand ten meters away from the target and swing it. The person who cuts and pulls the bow and arrow will not choose to stand in front of the target and shoot. The effect of this weapon must be similar to that of the bow and arrow, or it is a long-range weapon. As long as it is a long-range weapon, it must have an attack trajectory, and an attack with a trajectory can be avoided or blocked with the sword. Neither the fireball thrown by the warlock nor the arrow shot by the sharpshooter can attack continuously. As long as he dodges the first blow, Zelin can definitely kill him quickly at a distance of 20 meters.

Sure enough, the sparks previously seen on Gascoyne’s weapons emerged from the townspeople’s hands. Zelin’s pupils shrank to the limit. He seemed to see a black object flying out of the metal cylinder, which he had cultivated over the years. Before the fighting consciousness made his brain react, the sword in his hand was swung out. Just listened to a melodious, metal collision, an object hit the sword and then was bounced into the air. Zelin was caught off guard by the powerful force from the steel sword, and his right hand holding the hilt nearly let go, and at the same time there was a black gap in the middle of the sword. But anyway, he did block the attack.

The townspeople behind began to do something with the long-barreled weapon. Zelin guessed that he was preparing for the next attack. At this time, another townsman had run to a distance of only ten meters from him, and had no time to consider other issues. The demon hunter flew towards him at an extremely fast speed, so fast that when the townspeople had just raised the axe in their hands, the sword blade pierced his throat, making the townspeople's movement of raising the axe stiff in midair. When Zelin turned and circled behind him and the sword cut half of his neck, the townspeople walked three steps like drunk, and finally loaded them into the pile of wooden barrels that Zelin had hidden before. The barrel was smashed to pieces, so he fell into a pile of sawdust.

Zelin has no scruples outside, unlike in the Yusevka Clinic, where you have to consider the damage and protect Yusevka and the patients. Outside, he can dance swords to his heart's content.

When the last townsman raised his head again and held up the long metal pipe, Zelin did not want to continue playing the parry game with him. Steel Sword estimated that he could not withstand more attacks, so he grabbed the body of the big dog on the ground. He swiped a circle with his left hand and threw it at the townspeople, which happened to hit the gray hairy face of the other party. When the opponent pulled the corpse of the big dog from his body and raised his head, the blade of the steel sword was already full of his vision.

Finally, the long sword was withdrawn from the opponent's corpse, Zelin carefully wiped off the blood on it with a piece of cloth. No matter whether the blood contained a curse or a plague virus, he didn't want to touch it. According to the path described to him by Yusevka, he is not too far away from the base camp of the Healing Church. He only needs to walk for a while to see the bridge connecting the cathedral. If there are no veterinarians hindering him, he can be more Soon, it is even possible to rush to the gate of the iron fence before the church hunter leaves.

After wiping the blade, Ze Lin looked at the blood-stained cloth in his hand, his mouth stretched.

It feels very fragrant...

After sighing, the demon hunter shook his head and threw the cloth into a ball on the ground.

What am i thinking...

Chapter 74—Intuition

Each world has its own unique things, like Camelot’s looking up at the stars and Yanan’s weird metal weapons. Zelin always believes that any new thing has research value. For example, the former can study the psychology of the producer, and the latter can Discover new ways of fighting through new weapons.

After all, the way of fighting is always improving. As a long-lived demon hunter, Zelin hopes that he will not die in the hands of monsters in the wilderness one day, and it is best to continuously improve his skills, just like at the beginning of the year. The demon hunter only has two long swords. The fighting method of using the seal, magic bomb and crossbow is the product of years of experience. It is these experiences that enable later demon hunters to fight monsters as much as possible. Survive.

When Zelin took a closer look, he realized that this is not purely made of metal. The long metal tube is wrapped with a layer of brown wood. The second half of the metal tube is completely made of wood. , And tied a few circles of cloth strips. The original white cloth strips are full of tar and dust accumulated over the years, as well as traces left by oily food residues. The owner of the weapon does not seem to like to wash his hands, but this is not the key.

Flames can emerge from this weapon, and then something bursts out of the metal long tube. Although Zelin didn't know what was flying out, he could be sure that flames did appear out of thin air. It’s just that he didn’t see burn marks on the wooden boards and cloth strips, just like a good archer would leave a mark on his right hand with a bowstring mark. The tar-ignited stones would attack after being thrown from the catapult. Burn marks were left on the city's equipment, but it was different here. The flames did not leave marks on the weapons, or in other words, they didn't leave marks where he could see them.

"Is it confined to a metal tube...what's the point of this?" Zelin looked at what was in his hand in a puzzled way. Maybe he could turn around and ask Father Gascoigne, who is very skilled in the use of this weapon. , Especially when paired with the hatchet in the hand. Perhaps this is a weapon suitable for close combat, and the townsman may not be able to use it properly because of the effects of veterinary disease, but as far as Zelin is concerned, he prefers to use this weapon as a blunt weapon. , Such a heavy weapon hit the temple fiercely, a certain effect.

Finally, looking up at the iron gate of the cathedral, Zelin stuffed the weapon into the cloth bag. This should be a good souvenir, you can take it back to decorate the castle. But its combat effect is not very good. The interval between two attacks is too long. An excellent archer can shoot at least three arrows at the same time, maybe more. He has even seen one from the Blue Mountains. The elf archer shoots twelve arrows in five seconds and knocks down eight robbers who are trying to rob. In the same time, a warlock can throw a more powerful fireball. Even in the army, who will give you a long time The preparation time, maybe when you are lowering your head to prepare for the next attack, the enemy's saber will come in close contact with your neck.

It is possible that Zelin would not be able to use it, but before he learned it, he did not plan to use this weapon. He believed in the long sword in his hand, especially in this dangerous place.

"Damn crow..."

Zelin snapped his fingers and lay on the ground not far away. The crow covered in black feathers pretending to be harmless to humans and animals was instantly ignited. It is not the first time that the Demon Hunter has used the Seal of Igni to deal with these hairy and feathered monsters. Dry feathers are an excellent fuel-supporting material. Originally, Zelin thought he was only going to deal with the townspeople and mutant dogs suffering from veterinary disease, until he walked past a place full of wooden barrels and boxes, and was almost pecked in his eyes by a few crows lying inside. The Demon Hunter realized that this town was full of malicious and malicious enemies.

The iron gate in front of the cathedral was indeed locked, as Yusevka said, and Zelin was waiting on the stone bridge leading to the cathedral. The sunset hadn't completely set yet. Although Zelin's brain told him that time had passed for a long time, the position of the sun clearly indicated that time had passed only less than two hours. From time to time, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the cathedral through the iron gate, but unfortunately no human figure appeared.

There are many statues beside the stone bridge. There are a group every five steps. They are similar to the statues Zelin saw in the Orton Chapel. They are all women in cloaks. The only difference is that the statues here are different from the church. Either sad, or pleading, or even burying their faces in their hands and crying, but there is no praise, as if their gods can no longer bring hope, and there is only despair in the hearts of believers.

The statues stand in groups of two or three, symmetrically standing on both sides of the stone bridge. Each statue is about two to three meters high, and the stone fence behind the statue is even higher. Zelin can only look to the sides and below through the hollow stone pillars, and below, there is only a bottomless abyss. I can't see the bottom at all, it seems that the whole city is built on a mountain stream.

Excluding the statue, there is an abandoned carriage on the bridge. One of the wooden wheels on the left side of the carriage is missing. Zelin speculates that it might be that the carriage was attacked and the wheels were collapsing, and finally the carriage fell on its side in front of the fence. If it were not for the stone fence, the carriage would probably fall directly. The style of the mast is the appearance of being pulled by two horses side by side. One horse has disappeared, and the other horse is not far away from the carriage. The shriveled intestines and internal organs that had been exposed for time were scattered on the ground, exuding foul smells.

Zelin shook his head. He could hardly believe that in front of the base camp of the Healing Church that ruled Yanan, a long dead body would be placed for such a long time but no one cleaned it up. If someone threw the corpse in front of Vizima’s palace, or in front of Van Geborg’s castle, it is estimated that the next day the royal guards would be able to clean the corpse without a trace and then catch the perpetrator in the dungeon for torture. Now, Zelin The common sense in my head seems to be unable to keep up with the world.

Leaning against the stone fence, Zelin pressed his left temple, closed his eyes and rubbed it. He originally thought that he had understood from Yusevka and Gascoigne what was happening in this town --- the veterinary plague broke out, and the church sent hunters to clean up the incurable patients to contain the plague. But now, he found that there were more and more doubts in the world, and the lifeless church in front of him gave him an ominous premonition.

And whenever he thinks he has found something, he feels dizzy from time to time, sometimes, such as when he learns about hunters. Sometimes it doesn’t happen. For example, when he thinks he understands the veterinary disease plague, for the latter, Zelin now thinks that it is probably wrong, but when he thinks about this and intends to continue thinking about it, he feels dizzy. The feeling of nausea will come up uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Zelin heard a sound of footsteps in his ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Behind the iron gate, a group of people tightly wrapped in black appeared in his vision. Each of them is holding a corresponding weapon. Chopping axes, saw blades, walking sticks, all kinds of things, this team said nothing, the sound of walking on the road is very soft, like a group of cats, if it weren’t for the many fallen leaves on the ground, Zelin would have a hard time staying with them. I heard the sound when I first appeared.

Looking at these men in black, for some reason, a chill suddenly appeared in the heart of the demon hunter.

Chapter 75—Healing the Church

Stepping on the stone road quietly, this group of people wearing the same uniforms and holding special weapons walked across the stone bridges. There was no sound, no conversation, they just walked over.

The stench lingering in the abandoned carriage, Zelin clinging to the carriage, trying to listen to the outside sound, the overturned carriage can be used as his hiding place to avoid the hunters walking out of the church. If Yousefka’s description is not wrong, then these men in black should be hunters in the Healing Church who were hunting. The clothes called windbreakers blocked their bodies, and the black mask made Zelin unable to. See their faces clearly, but when facing them, Zelin felt that he was not facing a group of people, but a group of resentful spirits.

Zelin has received many commissions to clear the wraith spirits, such as day demon spirits, night demon spirits, wheat field demon spirits, and all kinds of demon spirits. He has seen all kinds of demon spirits. The cold impressed him. This has nothing to do with courage, it is just a biological instinct, and the hunters outside, they seem...like those evil spirits without self-awareness, and like beasts with only primitive instincts.

When he returns to the Yanan Center to meet Gascoyne's identity, perhaps he should discuss the hunter's question.

In the carriage, there was not only Zelin, but also a human corpse with floral folds and red and green striped tights over it, with very little blood. Zelin speculated that this should be the owner of the carriage, or one of its owners. From the outside, there were no fatal injuries on the corpse, only a few bruises and blackened bruises. Reminiscing about the outside scene, Zelin quickly recovered from his mind the scene at that time---the carriage was hit by a huge carriage. The beast attacked, the beast...or the monster’s attack was so powerful that it knocked one horse away, and the second horse crashed into the bridge fence with the carriage, and the owner of the carriage was already weak. Died directly in this impact.

The monster at the door of the church...this is not a **** fairy tale!
