The Divine Hunter Chapter 17: Dry bones
An hour later, the demon hunter, who had recovered some of his magic power, continued to explore the dark cave.
The fountain pool is not far away, and fire basins are regularly spaced to form a conspicuous passage.
Everyone lit a fire together.
When the light drove away the darkness and coldness, and after walking through a few decaying stone steps, they came to a closed door.
The dim yellow flame illuminated a silver ancient rune on the door.
A touch of magic lingers.
The school pendant trembled slightly.
"Dong, dong..." Oaks tapped his fingers twice, put his palm together and pressed hard, but the door did not move at all.
"With this kind of hardness and magical protection, Alder's seal can't handle it."
The amber pupils suddenly turned to Roy,
"What are you looking at me for?"
"This door may be a powerful illusion, and anti-magic metal may be effective!"
"Has your brain been bitten off by a water ghost?" Seret hit his brother's head hard with a bang, "Isn't there a keyhole here, what kind of messy illusion!?"
"Dear brother, I'm warning you..." Oakes half-bowed, with a fierce look in his eyes, and a mouth full of white teeth, "Don't think that you can insult me at will because you have made concessions in the store arrangement, and if you dare- ”
"Shut up, you two idiots!" The bald man pressed his palm like a leaf fan on the necks of the two men. Suddenly, the two brothers were like cats being held up by the neck, and they stopped.
"Find out the occasion before we start bickering. Now, the top priority is to find the key! As expected, the poor Cat Faction member in the kid's premonition is locked inside?"
The Cat Faction Demon Hunter looked stern when he heard this, and his fingers that touched the door trembled.
And Roy nodded, memories rolling around in his mind,
"The clay golem has become a trophy, and the biggest threat outside the laboratory has been solved. I suggest we split up to look for clues. But be aware that this cave is close to the ocean, cold and damp, and there may be some hidden dangers accumulated over the years in some corners. A highly poisonous miasma. If you smell something wrong, please be careful."
"Boy, you don't need to remind me of this."
Next, everyone divided into two teams.
The Oaks brothers, Furius, search the west, while Roy and Letso, search the caves to the east.
The two of them entered another narrow branch from the spacious cave hall. The journey was uneventful, and they collected a lot of herbs such as hair **** and mistletoe. They also discovered a wonderful plant, a fluorescent mushroom, growing in the cave. The top is shaped like a cluster of spider eggs, emitting light green light, like natural magic lamps, mysterious and beautiful.
The two of them waded through a cold puddle as they exchanged fluorescent lights all the way.
"Kid, do you remember the last time we went diving together?" His shiny head emerged from the water. Lei Suo stepped onto the land and wiped the water stains on his face. The ferocious abnormality caused by the magic potion was obvious. Fading, the complexion softened.
Unknowingly, that ignorant apprentice who likes petty theft has been in the industry for a year.
"Don't mention diving to me!" Roy took off a handful of moss and wiped his hair. He then thought of the pool filled with demon excrement at the end of the Smelk mine tunnel, and something inexplicably came out of his mouth. It smelled like shit, "That kick you gave me back then was such a ridiculous cesspit test! It made me lose my appetite for several days."
"The glorious tradition of the Snake Sect must be preserved." The bald man shook his head, "Besides, I remember how you and the Sea Scorpion chatted that night and ate barbecue until your belly was round-"
While they were talking, the pendants around their necks suddenly trembled.
Make a fighting stance tacitly.
Shake your wrist, "Whoa——"
The silver sword is unsheathed.
The fluorescent mushrooms on the roof of the cave shed light green light.
Not far away, a demon spirit holding a lantern and a long sword and wrapped in a translucent robe emerged from the void, howling hoarsely, and pounced on the demon hunter!
The five fingers are outlined, and the pale yellow light flows.
The bald man held Kunen's magic shield and placed the silver sword of the Snake Sect behind him. He stood up from the tail position like a predatory dragon lizard, swung his cone tail, and walked to the demon spirit in a few quick steps.
Shua——
The silver sword was as powerful as thunder, and it was raised diagonally.
It parried the rotating sword blade of the demon spirit, and the remaining force continued to cut into its half-empty and half-solid body, making it stunned.
Lesuo was light and short, taking the opportunity to circle behind him.
Pressing five fingers on the ground, the lavender magic circle rose up, and the Yaden trap instantly locked the demon spirit. The translucent body was forcibly transformed into a solid body, losing immunity to physical strikes.
"Whoosh, whoosh——"
In the distance, Roy continuously pulled the trigger, the crossbow arrows dragged the tail feathers, and the combination of guidance arrows and stun arrows hit its thin back.
The demon spirit froze.
The bald man danced the Snake Sect steel sword into an afterimage at the same time, "Shuashua——"
Three swords were fired in an instant, striking its chest and abdomen. The silver sword corroded the body and puffed up puffs of smoke.
"Ah——"
The demon spirit suddenly let out a burst of extremely beautiful wails, rippling its body like water waves, and invisible sound waves swept towards the four scrolls.
However, the two demon hunters just shook their heads slightly and immediately regained consciousness - the high willpower was directly immune to the wail of the demon spirits.
……
Cooperation from near and far.
The hand crossbow and the silver sword struck violently.
Two seconds exactly.
The demon spirit was trapped in place, like a roly-poly, being whipped to the point of being unable to move.
Two seconds later.
The bald man suddenly stopped his hand and jumped back nimbly.
"Whoosh——"
The crossbow shooting continues.
Two fatal arrows struck from a distance, hitting the demon spirit's shriveled and ugly head.
It exhausted its life, and its whole body was covered with green light, as if it was ignited by invisible flames. With an unwilling and resentful wail, it turned into nothingness.
The bright spots of light fell to the ground, forming a pool of emerald green evil spirit dust.
There is a small green mutation inducer faintly mixed in it.
"Kill demon spirits, experience value +60, demon hunter level 7 (1240/4500)..."
"Huh..." Roy waved his hand, and all the evil spirit dust and mutants were put into the trophy package, leaving it to prepare the grass decoction.
With the blockers removed, the dark gold pupils swept towards the deepest part of the tunnel.
Under the fluorescent light of the mushroom on the cave roof.
Beside the wall covered with stalactites, a human skeleton lay quietly.
"Wait a minute, kid, don't rush over there..." The bald man sheathed his sword and glanced at the corner next to the corpse.
The nose moved, and a creeping white mist with a corrupt aura lay dormant in the corner.
This is obviously some kind of poisonous gas, so if you are carrying the Oriole potion, you will not be afraid.
But Oriole's materials were hard to find, so the two of them failed to stock up in advance. After exchanging glances, they tacitly agreed to put a Quinn turtle shell on each of them.
Leso took action and aimed an Igni at Miasma from a few meters away.
The fiery snake spits out igniting gas.
There was a "boom".
Dazzling sparks flickered, and after a slight explosion, the miasma was burned away instantly.
The two burned it a second time to confirm that it was correct, and then walked to the skeleton.
The bald man held up the skull with one hand and the hip bone with the other, looking at it carefully, "Male, the cause of death...the skull was hit hard and there were many fractures all over the body. The broken bones probably punctured the organs...bones There are signs of magic erosion in the quality, and thin elemental energy remains..."
"A warlock. The body that has been transformed by magic cannot tell his specific age, but he has been dead for at least decades. The demon spirit should be what this guy turned into after his death..."
Leso murmured to himself,
"But why did he die in this corner, and what does it have to do with the closed door?"
…
"I probably know a little bit about the reason..." Roy took out a thin piece of brown paper from under the sand next to the corpse, wiped the dust away, and stared hard.
Instituted by: Jehuda Low
Purchaser: Irenius V. Steingaard
Goods: Guard Golem (clay, ceramic)
Warranty: If the ceramics is damaged, please notify the nearest apprentice branch as soon as possible. This golem is maintained only by authorized staff.
……
"So, this unlucky guy is most likely... the maintenance engineer of the golem?" The fluorescent mushrooms illuminated Lei Suo's strange face, "After repairing the golem, some kind of program went wrong? As a result, he was regarded as an intruder. or attack."
"After suffering severe injuries, he fled to the bottom of the cave and died."
"Yes, judging from the clothes on the bones, the color is gray and the style is old-fashioned. There is no doubt that the maintenance engineer is there."
The reality is really ironic.
The two looked at each other~IndoMTL.com~ dumbfounded.
This receipt also contains another important piece of information.
"Irenius var Steingaard...a difficult name to pronounce."
The purchaser is the owner of the golem.
"He must be the real owner of the secret laboratory under the Temple Island."
Roy asked curiously, "Have you heard of this guy? I have a feeling that magic was probably more popular in his era than it is now."
“It’s exciting to think about a store that specializes in selling all kinds of golems.”
After all, golems are not only made of clay, but there are also more powerful and dangerous gargoyles made of stone.
"I don't know much about the history of the north." Leisuo shook his head and stood up, "Let's go and see if those three guys are lazy and bickering."
