The Divine Hunter Chapter 67: Hotbed
After swallowing the blood of the sun, Roy and the demon hunter walked in the mine tunnel for an unknown length of time. Because the food and drinking water were almost exhausted, they speculated that four days had passed. In total, they walked nearly 100 meters in the mine tunnel. One week.
The witcher’s broken leg was fixed with two daggers and a piece of canvas, and Gurwishir was used as a crutch, so he could barely walk.
Fortunately, the journey was calm. Food was probably so scarce in the middle of the mine tunnel that not even the monsters could survive.
The long-silent air currents and breezes in the cave began to surge, and they realized that they were not far from the exit and were about to escape from the deep darkness and see the light of day again.
……
“Shh——”
The two of them had just emerged from a narrow tunnel and entered the spacious cave buffering between the tunnels. The witcher suddenly made a silent gesture and extinguished the torch.
Roy followed his finger and looked forward. At the entrance of the tunnel, there was a vague ghost warrior dragging his claws into sight.
Perhaps it is well-nourished on weekdays, and its size is obviously larger and more burly than the evil ghost at the front of Smirk.
At a glance, there was a strong man with an ugly face, slightly prostrate, a pair of pale and huge eyeballs blooming with a frightening cold light in the dark, and his nose twitching like a hound.
It smelled a strange smell and slowly approached the demon hunter master and apprentice.
“Whoosh——” A bright silver arrow shot through the air, instantly piercing its head, and it fell to the ground without a word.
“Kill the evil ghost warrior, experience value +30.”
Roy retracted his crossbow and planned to go over to harvest the loot out of habit, when he was suddenly held down by a demon hunter on his shoulder.
Two more ordinary evil spirits emerged from the tunnel.
The next scene is extremely bloody.
They failed to discover the demon hunter master and apprentice hiding in the dark corridor opposite. Instead, they were completely attracted by the corpses of the same kind.
After sniffing the corpse for a short while, they pounced on it and started to bite it, one at the neck and the other at the thigh.
The evil ghost’s tiny sharp teeth can easily tear apart the skin of its kind, pulling off oval pieces of blood vessels and muscles, picking it up like a dog, gasping and chewing twice, and then raising its head, the flesh and skin on its neck squirm. Swallow it into your stomach.
Finally, he stuck out his lizard-like scarlet tongue, greedily licked the blood and scraps of meat around his mouth, and continued to eat.
In the dark cave, the sounds of swallowing and biting were extremely clear, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the scene was horrific.
This cruel eating lasted for thirty seconds. The corpse was chewed in many places to expose the pale bones, and nearly one-fifth of the meat was missing. They suddenly stopped and dragged the corpse back into the body again. in the tunnel.
“These two beasts seem to be very hungry!” Roy took a breath of cold air and felt a shudder. “Why don’t you finish eating?”
“The demons are a race with distinct classes… ahem…” the demon hunter explained, “Similar to lions and wolves, after the hunt is completed, those in higher positions have priority in enjoying the prey, such as the demon warriors and chiefs. ”
“When they are full, they will distribute the corresponding amount of meat to the mother’s nest, and finally it is the turn of the evil ghosts at the bottom to fill their stomachs. Those two beasts dare not eat too much for fear of offending the superiors.” Demon Hunter The man took a breath and said thoughtfully, “In addition, they eat the corpses of evil ghost warriors in order to evolve… For this kind of creature, eating higher-level flesh and blood is conducive to the evolution of life forms.”
“Compared to pure appetite, they are more eager to evolve.”
The young man nodded, and his face turned gloomy again, “The superior? I hope it’s not the evil ghost chief!” The evil ghost chief is more advanced than the evil ghost warriors, and is more difficult to deal with. It can make the originally scattered population become cunning and cunning. co-operate.
The demon hunters are still unable to fight. They absolutely cannot have a head-on conflict with the dozens of evil ghosts. If there was an evil ghost chief among them, even escaping would be a problem.
After waiting for about half an hour, the two approached the eating ground. After the body was dragged away, a large amount of blood and minced meat remained on the ground. They skillfully applied the remaining blood to their skin with their hands, and finally painted it on their faces. Five bright red slashes appeared on the top.
Then he crouched on the ground and followed in imitating the posture of an evil ghost.
After turning a few corners and getting out of a long tunnel, my pupils caught a piece of white light – the color of sunlight, emerging at the end of the distant tunnel.
The exit is just after the tunnel on the opposite side.
But as their eyes chased the sun, their faces turned pale in an instant.
It’s thirty feet away.
In the spacious cave in front of the tunnel, the sparse light coming from the distance revealed a group of evil ghosts scattered on the ground… Their limbs were intertwined, and they were squirming amidst the grunting sounds one after another, like a group of pythons in heat. .
There were at least ninety of them, larger than any evil ghost tribe they had encountered, completely blocking the road to the exit.
The corpse of the previous evil ghost warrior was placed behind the pile of sleeping evil ghosts, with half of the honeycomb-shaped nest exposed on the ground. Most of it had been eaten out and licked clean, and a row of pale ribs stood between the chest and abdomen.
Reminiscent of the cattle and sheep that are cut up and put on display at a meat stall.
And squatting next to the nest was a strong evil ghost with blue skin and muscles like armor. He was holding the flesh of his chin with his claws, closing his eyes tightly in the posture of a “meditator” and making a thunderous snoring sound. .
As the chest expands and contracts, two unique fangs at the corners of the mouth are exposed from time to time.
Ordinary evil ghosts are only 5 inches and 4 inches (1.6 meters) tall, but this guy has grown to 6 inches (1.8 meters). He is bigger than all the monsters present. Even in his sleep, there is a ferocious feeling lingering all over his body. , violent temperament.

……
“Fuck!” Roy cursed in his mind. In the current situation, bombs, potions, and sword oil were all used up, and the demon hunter lost his combat effectiveness and became inconvenient to move.
They are almost at the end of their rope. How can they fight against such a group of evil spirits led by a chief in front of them?
He thought for a moment and wanted to escape from the cave. There was only the last way in front of him——
Go through these squirming “pythons” without disturbing any of them, otherwise you will be swarmed by the evil ghosts and there will be no chance of survival.
Roy squinted his eyes and searched the crowd of evil ghosts with all his strength, trying to find a passage, even if it was a patchwork of narrow gaps.
The witcher suddenly grabbed his hand and motioned with his eyes to return to the tunnel.
“Kid, listen to me,” the witcher’s amber pupils stared into his eyes, and said in a commanding tone, “You will leave by yourself later… With your flexible skills, quietly It’s not a problem to pass through the ground. Hurry up, the evil ghost doesn’t sleep long, miss this opportunity…”
“But what should you do?” Roy interrupted him, glanced at the witcher’s broken right leg, and asked expectantly, “Do you have other ideas?”
“Yes! Rather than both of you being trapped in the cave, it’s better for you to escape first.” The demon hunter paused for two seconds and nodded, “I’ll find someone to help me then. Based on my experience, It’s easy to hide for a while.”
“Come on… Leisuo, don’t bluff me. It’s hard for you to even walk, how can you avoid those beasts?” The young man shook his head and firmly refused, “Now is not the time to show off as a hero… Later I’ll go out with you on my back, that’s what I’ve decided!”
The witcher’s lips moved and he wanted to say a few more words.
“Do you want me to abandon my comrades and become a deserter and a coward?” Roy described such a scene, “Even if I escape alone, my conscience will always be uneasy… Isn’t it just another Sevier Howe?” Ge. The shadow in my heart makes me unable to live in peace, and the trial of green grass will definitely become my grave!”
The witcher took a deep breath, and the other party’s words hit his weak spot.
“Okay, let’s fight side by side again.”
……
The two of them tiptoed to the pile of ghosts and observed them carefully for a long time.
The limbs of most evil ghosts are intertwined over and over again, tightly without any gaps. But occasionally, between a few arms and thighs, there was a small space between the two bodies that was enough to put their feet. The two looked forward and barely found a feasible passage.
Roy nodded to the witcher and the action began.
The bald man weighed almost twice as much as him. When he put his upper body on his back, it was like a mountain pressing down on him. The boy was immediately bent over, his face turned red, and veins and blood vessels appeared on his neck and temples.
His body shape and the breathing between his nose became extremely heavy, but he kept his mouth tightly closed, his cheeks bulging, and his teeth gritted, trying desperately to suppress all sounds.
The left foot stepped into the open space between the chest and abdomen of the two demons, and a strong, rotting corpse-like stench hit his face.
With his face lowered, he could clearly see every detail of the evil ghost: the pimpled, extremely rough and disgusting skin, the yellow and tattered canvas on the crotch, the bloated blue flesh on the neck, and the large and thin mouth of the **** basin. The long sharp teeth and the rotten pieces of meat between the teeth are all vividly visible.
This was an unprecedented and novel experience. He was observing living evil spirits at a distance that was within reach, but his heart was racing and he was uncontrollably worried that these guys would suddenly open their eyes and pounce on him!
But it’s just a hypothesis.
Roy stabilized his body, rested for ten seconds, and took the second step, stepping between the intertwined arms of the two demons. But as soon as he put his feet down, a drop of sweat dripped along his forehead and hit one of the demons. Ghost, half-open and half-closed mouth filled with blood.
Ding!
It slapped its mouth and its face squirmed.
The boy held his breath for a moment and was stuck in place like a log.
The witcher’s arm crossed his shoulder, his palm stretched out, ready to strike with the Axi Sigil at any time.
But five seconds later, the evil ghost turned over, hugged the thigh of his companion on the other side, and snored again.
I have experienced such a thrilling situation several times.
This is a long and torturous process, like walking across a single-plank bridge between cliffs with your head tied to your waistband. If you take a wrong step and accidentally step on the body of the evil ghost, they will die without a burial place.
But the agility of 6 is enough for him to maintain his body balance and control his limbs properly, and the spirit of 6.5 allows him to maintain his concentration ~IndoMTL.com~ for a long time, so that he will not hesitate at the sight of the demons dancing under him.
For a long time, a voice seemed to ring in Roy’s ears, “You passed the triple test, and you successfully crossed the ‘evil hotbed’.”
Just twenty feet (6 meters), it took a full five minutes.
After he let go of the witcher, he seemed to be in collapse. He bent over and supported his knees, his chest heaving violently… dripping sweat slid down his tight waistband to his ankles, and every cell was heating and heating. sore.
But looking back at the group of evil ghosts behind me, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. I finally made it over without leaving my comrades behind!
Before they could relax, the two quickly passed by the evil ghost chief beside the lair. This guy seemed to be unaware of it. He still lowered his face and closed his eyes tightly, maintaining the “thinker” posture.
We arrived at the tunnel leading to the exit and got in. Since there was only room for one person to pass through, the demon hunter walked in front and behind him, but as soon as he took a few steps, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart. Turn around suddenly——
At the entrance of the tunnel, the strongest evil ghost tilted his head and looked at him. This guy bent his body slightly, with one pale and slender claw hanging to the ground, the other wrist hanging on his chest, and his eyes as big as light bulbs. Flashing with cunning and cruelty. The corners of his mouth were cleft to the base of his ears, and he suddenly smiled.
His whole body was still smeared with alien blood, but the disguise that was effective for ordinary evil spirits could not be hidden from the cunning chief.
“Ah——”
A huge scream suddenly broke out!
As if a drop of water is sprinkled into a hot oil pan, the sleeping evil ghosts suddenly wake up and boil! A tidal wave emerged from behind the chief and poured into the tunnel.
Run?
Roy sighed and shook off this thought in an instant. Even if he could escape, the demon hunter could not escape, so he had to fight!
