The Divine Hunter Chapter 11: The treacherous forest

Under the pitch-black sky, one long boat after another broke through the fog and sailed into Black Tern Island.

The soldiers of the White Rose Knights disembarked from the boat and landed on the island in an orderly manner, dragging the wooden boat into the nearby grass and hiding it.

Behind the grass, the land on the edge of the island has been washed by the lake water for a long time and has become moist and soft, leaving behind rows of dense footprints.

When the dim oil lamp shined, the messy human shoe prints were also mixed with a huge number of deformed three-toed web prints.

"Half fish man..."

Roy and Leisuo each took out a bottle of "Cat" they had prepared and drank it in one gulp. Dark blood vessels appeared on their faces, and their strange vertical pupils suddenly glowed like cats and wolves.

The originally slightly blurry vision became clearer than during the day.

His eyes moved along the row of deformed web prints, across the empty beach, and extended to a dark forest ahead.

The trees are towering.

There is an extremely lush forest growing on the island in the lake.

"Your Highness Yada..." Roy approached the woman and whispered, "Have you ever gone in before?"

Yada followed his gaze and shook her head, "In the past two times, I have been operating in a small area on the edge of the lake area. I have never been to the island, let alone the woods. This time it is a huge success."

As she spoke, she propped up her small chin with the whip in her hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "But why can't there be even a half-murloc on the island? Did they all come out in full force in the attack just now?"

"It's best... but we can't take it lightly." The demon hunter reminded, "Beware of scams!"

It was clearly time to sleep, but the fallen half-murlocs launched a surprise attack, as if they had predicted their actions.

This is a pretty bad signal. Who can say for sure whether there might be other traps in the woods?

……

The knight holding the shield walked cautiously in front with his body hunched over, and the knight holding the crossbow followed behind with bright eyes, scanning the surrounding environment vigilantly.

And Roy's fingers flexibly drew an inverted triangular array in mid-air. As the light flickered, an earthy-yellow oval cover was born from the array, covering the surface of his body, and the brilliance began to flow and disappear. now.

"Is this a spell? No need to chant?"

Yada, who was firmly protected by the two demon hunters, asked curiously,

"The Witcher's Seal..." Roy explained in a low voice, and then touched his lips with his index finger to silence.

There are two worlds inside and outside the woods. As soon as you step into it, you will immediately feel a cold breath.

The leading knights could not help but turn pale, and suddenly stopped. Their backs and necks felt cold, as if invisible pale dead hands were brushing against their skin.

In addition to being cold, it also makes people uncontrollably scared, and an uncontrollable urge to turn around and run away surges from the bottom of their hearts.

But long-term formal training allowed them to resist this impulse and continue to advance.

"It's too quiet...be careful!"

The ground under the feet of everyone in the woods is no longer the soft and fine sand in the outside world, but is covered with a thick layer of humus.

In addition to the dark dead branches and leaves, there are also other things mixed in. It is sticky and sticky to the feet when stepped on, and there is a faint rotten and fishy smell.

At the same time, the surrounding environment became darker and narrower. Under the firelight, tall ancient trees stood quietly in all directions, casting hideous shadows on everyone.

They stretch their limbs to the extreme, and slender and long vines hang down from the branches, woven into a layer of emerald green gauze.

The wind roared through the forest, and for a moment, the vines and branches swayed with the wind, like countless large nets, ready to cover everyone's heads at any time.

"Kid, stay alert," Leisuo looked around warily, "There is something strange in this forest."

Roy nodded, suddenly closed his eyes and let go of perception.

After a while, I had the illusion that a group of myself were standing on the tongue coating and stomach wall of a huge creature.

He quickly pulled out Gu Weisir and stabbed the sword **** the ground. But when he pulled out the blade, he found that except for a thick layer of mud, there was no blood or broken flesh on the sword. class stuff.

"Am I overthinking it?"

Another difficult time.

The team's formation shrank inward again, becoming like a turtle shell.

And Roy quietly handed Leisuo a round black object that was not cold in the winter - the alchemy bomb, Dragon's Dream.

He noticed that it was obviously very cold in the woods, and no one was doing any strenuous exercise, but several knights were sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

"What's going on? The knight's physique is not so weak."

He squeezed the palm of his hand and was surprised to feel a layer of sticky wet sweat, and he was not immune.

"Stop! Stop now——"

"Keep quiet!"

The bald man suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, stopping everyone's actions,

After two breaths, the grass not far away suddenly trembled, and a strange high-pitched scream sounded.

"Chirp——chirp——"

The sound is small, but in this quiet and strange forest, it makes people shudder. A group of people couldn't help but clenched their weapons and stared at the grass without blinking.

The grass shook even more violently, as if something terrifying was about to break out of its shell.

The two demon hunters formed a seal, held down the hilts of their swords, and walked to the front of the team to prepare.

The shaking in the grass stopped, and the thing finally jumped out, revealing its full appearance in front of everyone - a white, round and fleshy rodent with a pair of long pointed ears - a rabbit.

"Call——"

A long pine breath sounded in the woods.

"Little thing, you came here to die. Are you tired of living?" A young knight cursed and squatted down.

The thrill of the sudden surprise just now, but the sense of urgency that had accumulated in his heart since entering the woods was completely gone. He couldn't help but start stroking the soft hair on the rabbit's body.

The little beast ignored the familiar knight, but buried his head and kept moving his teeth.

"If you continue to eat, your life will soon be gone!"

"It's so **** amazing, these days, even a rabbit doesn't care about the Knight of the White Rose!"

"This thing is not afraid of people at all." Another knight said in surprise.

"Whoosh——"

A sharp sound broke through the air in the forest, and the next moment, the rabbit fell to the ground with trembling legs, with a **** arrow stuck in its belly.

"Be careful!" The demon hunter retracted his crossbow and shouted with a cold face, "This is Black Tern Island, the home of the fallen half-murlocs. How can there be small animals that are not threatening!"

"The master is right,"

Knight Cleveland squatted down and turned the dying rabbit over in front of everyone, exposing its belly.

In the snow-white fur, a cluster of black fleshy growths like a fungal infection stood out.

"What is this?"

Yada was not afraid at all. Instead, she was extremely excited and touched the black growths with her leather-gloved palms.

"Exactly the same symptoms as the fallen half-murloc."

"Your Highness Yada, please step back...let me check."

The knight then lifted the rabbit's lips to examine.

The firelight illuminated its two ordinary big teeth. However, on both sides of the big teeth, there was another set of staggered serrations growing in its mouth. When you press the ends of its limbs, it actually stretches out like a cat. Hook claw.

"Hiss - this thing has mutated and turned into a carnivore..."

"It seems that in addition to the fallen half-murlocs, other animals on this island have also been affected in some way, and their bodies have become deformed."

Leso looked around, "For the sake of safety. I suggest everyone leave the woods now and return immediately."

"No!" Yada stared at the darkness deep in the woods, as if burning with blazing flames.

"We have already walked halfway through the journey~IndoMTL.com~ Are you willing to give up now? Not to mention the poor people in Kona Village are still waiting for us to bring back good news!" Yada stretched her arms and faced the knights and shouted loudly Question,

"Should we completely resolve the crisis at Lake Vizima and return in triumph, or should we become a deserter?"

The knights' faces became firm upon hearing this.

And Yada continued to confuse, "From the time we landed on the island until now, we have only encountered such a small animal that can be killed easily..."

"It's a mutated animal..." the demon hunter emphasized.

"So what?!" Yada glared at him with a slightly red face, "The really dangerous fallen half-murlocs on the island have been cleared out in the lake long ago. A few mutated animals, with a little help Be careful, it’s no problem at all!”

"Keep moving forward. I believe that this time I will be able to destroy the altar of evil. I will reward you based on your merits."

"I have never been a stingy person, everyone knows it!"

Yada watched with satisfaction as the knights bowed their heads to her again and turned to the witcher,

"Two masters, I am commanding this operation. Please stop making any remarks that undermine morale."

"Your Highness, aren't you worried," Roy retorted, "Since the altar can affect the bodies of animals, who can guarantee that it will not affect us?"

"Stop nagging me, witcher."

A cold light flashed in Yada's eyes, and she took a few steps forward to follow the knights,

"Stay a little further away," the bald demon hunter stared at the woman's back and whispered, "If the situation cannot be controlled, use some extraordinary means to tie up this arrogant princess and run away!"
