The Divine Hunter Chapter 8: Please close your eyes when it gets dark
On a gloomy day, majestic dark clouds gathered in the sky, and there were faint electric snakes and muffled thunder brewing among them.
The rock walls on both sides were towering. The Sea Scorpion convoy passed through the central steep canyon and suddenly stopped. People began to whisper and glanced at the numbing bright red blood on the ground from time to time.
Roy's eyes became solemn. These traces were not simple flowing blood stains, but traces of human or animal bodies being dragged out from the ground.
He could almost imagine that the skin, muscles, and bones of the poor victim were scratched by rough and sharp stones under the high-speed friction with the ground, leaving fine pieces of flesh and blood all over the ground.
There is no doubt that this is the first scene of a fight - in addition to blood stains, the ground is also scattered with some scattered linens torn from clothes, a few fallen leather boots, and a few rusty pitchforks. , as well as some weapons that were sharpened and modified from agricultural tools.
Everyone's eyes continued to move forward along this path of flesh and blood. After passing through the overlapping boulders on both sides of the canyon, a smashed body was clearly visible at the spiked roadblock that was as big as a carriage.
"What can cause such huge destructive power?!"
Aaron made a prompt decision and ordered the team to temporarily withdraw from the canyon, and then retreated to the left and right sides. He was about to take a few young adults to find out.
Roy and the witcher are determined to get involved. Aaron tried to persuade them to no avail, so he had to let them go.
As they walked all the way to the vicinity of the bloodstains, a strong and nauseating scent of blood hit their faces. The demon hunter's nose twitched as if to discern something, and he squatted down and touched the blood and blood on the ground deeply with his fingers. The minced meat pondered for a moment and said, "The very fresh human flesh and blood should be left over from last night."
However, facing such a terrifying scene, everyone present was unusually calm, with no trace of shock visible on their faces.
Roy couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He was immune to such a **** scene only after crawling out of a sea of blood and corpses of evil spirits. But how could an ordinary team member of the Sea Scorpion have such a big heart? It seems that I have never experienced this kind of thing before.
"Master Leisuo, your body has not recovered yet. If there is any emergency, please be careful."
Aaron suddenly turned around and said lightly to the two of them.
"I still have the power to protect myself."
The team came to the vicinity of two flanking boulders, which were almost large enough to accommodate two carriages traveling side by side. It was almost the same size as the destroyed roadblock in front of them.
Roy's body moved, and he jumped onto the boulder and looked down, "This is a natural barrier. The terrain is perfect, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also the only way to Elland. road, I would also choose to intercept pedestrians at this place and collect tolls."
"What do you mean?"
"Obviously not a checkpoint set up by the regular Elland army."
"It's true as the old village chief of Shire said, there are secret posts on the road leading to Elland for bandits and bandits to collect money. But they are not very lucky."
"Are they dead?"
The team bypassed the boulder, and after walking a few steps, they saw the **** human corpses gathered into a hill behind the three-hundred-pound roadblock.
Their deaths were in various strange ways, with their throats stretched out, their stomachs disemboweled, their spines broken, and their corpses torn into several pieces.
They were covered in blood, and their plain and inferior clothing could still be seen.
Roy remembered that the revolutionary army he encountered outside the city of Edsberg had the same character, and he couldn't help but wonder. Temeria's wild resources are so abundant, even those who are not involved in farming at all, secretly You won't starve to death while hunting, why do you need to do this kind of murder and swindling?
In front of such a horrific pile of corpses, everyone in the convoy finally lost their composure.
A wretched man as thin as a monkey stood up and stammered, "Boss Aaron, why don't we take a different route?"
"Stupid donkey!" Another strong man with a mustache retorted, "All the robbers are dead and all obstacles to the convoy have been cleared. Why do we have to run?! Let's walk through it openly!"
"Yes!" Someone immediately echoed his words, "It's just the right time for these **** to die!"
"It must be the goddess Meriteri who sent down the divine punishment to punish these villains!" A devout believer said with confidence.
"Goddess?" Roy smacked his lips. The mutilated corpse in front of him obviously couldn't be the handiwork of the goddess who was known for her kindness.
He exchanged glances with the witcher and began the autopsy in front of everyone. After cleaning up, there were a total of fifteen corpses, mostly young adults, but there were also two young children aged eleven or twelve and a gray-haired old man.
When Roy took out twenty crowns from their underwear, the goddess's followers were immediately excited!
"Look, I said it before. This is the punishment of the villains by the goddess Meriteri. It is the grace of the goddess to me, a believer. The goddess is kind and generous. She will always let us down. Otherwise, it would be replaced by Who else would miss out on so much money?"
"It's quite a lot," another guy with a scabies-covered head joked, "enough for you to drink flower wine several times!"
"Asshole! Don't mention those nasty things when talking about the goddess!
However, others noticed that the more Roy and Leisuo checked, the more ugly their faces became.
The wounds on this group of human robbers were exactly the same as those on the Qiqimo group.
But they have left that place for a few days, is it possible that the monster is still following the convoy?
"What's wrong, Master Leisuo, is there something wrong?"
After hearing this, Lei Suo's eyes suddenly condensed and he circled around everyone strangely. The murderous scrutiny made several people shiver involuntarily.
"Master, what are you..."
The witcher remained silent.
Aaron's questioning gaze turned to Roy, and Roy woke up from his dazed state, his throat squirmed twice with difficulty,
"The murderer is not a human being...Human beings do not have such power, do not have such sharp body weapons, and the footprints on the ground are wrong...but the murderer is also not the goddess Meriteri!"
"What is that?"
Under everyone's nervous and expectant eyes, Roy changed his voice again, "Brother just now, you said that the goddess 'always' would look down on you... Could it be that the Sea Scorpion Racing Team also used to Have you ever encountered something like this? The goddess helped you clear the way?"
"Yes, I, Rulda, have followed the sea scorpion for two years, and I have encountered such a weird scene twice today."
Another person was unsure and said, "It seems...it actually happened twice. ~IndoMTL.com~Dole Bratner once."
"And Ad Kalai!"
The team began to discuss each other, until Aaron snorted heavily, and they immediately closed their mouths and remained quiet.
Aaron came closer to Roy, opened his mouth wide and showed his white teeth, and smiled heartily, "Master Leisuo, Roy, since all the thugs are dead, this matter can be considered over. That unexpected stroke of I will leave the money to you two as hard work. Now, let’s go back to the convoy and continue moving forward.”
"Whoever the murderer is? It finally did a good thing for us, brothers, are you right?"
"Yes!"
Lesuo replied calmly, "Well, as you wish, the matter has come to an end..."
……
Roy remained silent and returned to the convoy,
In the carriage compartment, he murmured in a low voice, "I saw a scar on his neck just now, a scar that has just healed... It seems that we made a stupid mistake and preconceived ideas. It turned out that the person who killed Qiqi Mo was The murderer was not at Shire Village at all. He stayed in the convoy."
"We are dancing with wolves..."
"At least for now, 'it' has no ill intentions towards us, and has not committed any unforgivable crimes." The demon hunter also had confusion on his face. According to his usual experience, that kind of thing is chaos. Disorganized, they only know how to kill.
"But can beasts really possess human reason?"
"Isn't the fact right in front of you? Stay on the sidelines for now." Lei Suo said as if to comfort himself, who put them at a disadvantage?
After speaking, the witcher wiped Gu Weisir carefully.
Roy's eyes drifted towards Aaron, who was constantly comforting everyone in the carriage team, and there was a flash of strange color.
