The Divine Hunter Chapter 16: Experience
Toussaint.
Shanthreto Swamp.
Under the blue sky, the green hills on both sides of the bank are undulating, and the shallow puddles are dotted here and there to reflect the golden sunlight. A wide variety of flying birds and animals live here bathed in the breeze.
It can be called a paradise for wild animals.
A deer that was drinking water suddenly raised its head and looked sideways, its pointed ears twitching.
"Tap-tat-tat..."
The sound of slight footsteps broke the natural and peaceful atmosphere.
The fawn's streamlined body made an obvious sinking posture, then turned around and ran away.
The two slender demon hunters, carrying two swords on their backs, stepped lightly across the soft mud and approached the river bank.
Twelve much shorter figures cautiously followed them, walking on their footsteps, and a neat row of footprints appeared in the swamp.
The young faces looked around nervously and curiously.
"Teacher, how long until we can see the prey?"
"Calm down, little monkey..." Cat Vulture took off his sunglasses and gave the student a warning look with his gray-green pupils, "Remember, your main task is to keep an eye on these little guys, keep quiet, and don't let them run around. !"
"Yes, teacher!"
Facing the clever disciple, Mao Jiu bared his teeth, and a trace of helplessness flashed across his face. If not all the water ghosts around Nuo City were killed by this guy, he wouldn't have had to lead a group of newcomers. Through the portal, he traveled thousands of miles to Toussaint to find a training target.
Just in case, he also called Roy.
……
A tiny gray dot suddenly appeared in the sky. It quickly came closer and turned out to be a chubby kookaburra staring at its little brown hat.
It was entrenched in the sky above everyone, emitting a clear and loud chirp of "chirp" as if to say hello.
Roy, who was walking at the front, raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and smiled meaningfully at the little boys,
"The prey you want is here, and there is more than one."
A group of people followed the kookaburra's guidance and walked less than two hundred meters to the west. Their eyes focused and they quietly moved behind a willow tree with emerald green silk hanging down among the reeds.
Not far away, beside a log lying in the swamp, soaked black and rotten, three weird and ugly humanoid creatures were walking aimlessly with their belly full.
The body is naked, the skin is cyan and black, the limbs are covered with fish scales, the toes and fingers have duck-like webs, and the nails are as sharp as cones.
The white teeth in their grinning mouths are as broken as broken glass, and their eyes are swollen and pale, like cataract patients.
"That...that's..." A new boy with a watermelon head had a frightened expression, his teeth were chattering, and his small body was shaking uncontrollably,
"Keep your voice down, don't attract them here." Roy casually drew a Yaksi seal with his left hand to restore his calmness,
"Karl, prepare for war!"
"Yeah!" The boy nodded sharply, and under the witness of pairs of curious eyes, he took out a bottle of emerald green "Thunder" from the small leather pouch on his belt.
"Boo——"
"Gulu gulu——" After swallowing a bottle of magic potion, ugly and frightening black blood vessels appeared on Karl's originally delicate and white face. A flush of excitement appeared among the pale skin, and his breathing became heavy. He suddenly clenched his fists and looked determined.
Among the eleven children watching, half had envy flashing in their pupils, and half showed awe on their faces.
……
"Teacher...are water ghosts transformed from the dead?" A boy with double eyelids and green eyes asked,
"No, they are much scarier than the dead. They live by the river, usually in groups, and actively attack any creature that steps into the warning range," the cat vulture clenched its hands into claws, revealing a vivid look. The fierce expression and the low tone were like the penetrating autumn wind, which made a group of children's necks feel cold.
"Pull it under the water and drown it, then tear it into pieces with your claws and eat it like a soft biscuit."
"Gulu..." Swallowing sounds kept coming. Not to mention children, many adults had never seen such a terrifying monster in their lives.
"What if I get discovered by them accidentally?"
The cat vulture gave Karl a look, and the latter immediately explained patiently,
"Everyone has just started training, and the only way to encounter this thing is to run!"
Karl lowered his voice and pointed to ready-made examples to popularize science.
"But remember, the reaction and speed of water ghosts on land are not inferior to those of adults. They have sharp teeth and claws and are not afraid of pain. Most poisons are ineffective against them, and they will not recover from wounds. Bleeding."
"They are stupid and dumber than shoes. Don't foolishly communicate and negotiate with them, otherwise you will waste your chance to escape and become a meal."
"Their biggest weakness is their eyesight. Even in the daytime, once the target is more than 12 meters away, they will become half blind. In addition, they are most afraid of flames. When you learn Igni in the future..."
A bunch of little heads nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, let's just talk and don't practice the tricks. Now let you personally experience the fighting style of the water ghost." A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Roy's mouth, "This thing has a nickname, it's called a newcomer. Killer!"
"Let us see first, how many there are in total."
Roy grabbed a piece of rotten wood and threw it in the direction of the water ghost.
"Plop!"
"Ula Ula!" The three-headed water ghost looked at the place where the wood fell, and immediately bared his teeth and shouted, and rushed over,
At the same time, a series of huge bubbles emerged from the swamp behind him like boiling water, and two more water ghosts jumped out, spinning around like headless flies. However, due to limited vision, they could not see Gou more than 20 meters away. A group of people standing.
"Five heads, maybe more..." Roy and Cat Vulture exchanged glances. With two demon hunters as nannies, there wasn't much of a safety problem.
"Karl, deal with the two ends on the left."
"Leave it to me!" The young apprentice with dark veins on his face quietly squeezed the hilt of the sword behind his back with his right hand.
"Monty, Akamtom, Lloyd, Chanem, deal with the two ends in the middle, remember what I taught you on weekdays! Even the pre-medication ones got through it, cough, cough, although I peed my pants, but this stuff won’t be a problem for you!”
The four reserve apprentices took a deep breath with slightly embarrassed expressions, nodded, and held the four exquisite sheathed steel swords at their waists.
"The one on the far right, leave it to you!"
"Ah? Teacher, isn't it too fast? We have only been here for more than a month." A group of newcomers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and there was a slight hiss in their throats, and they almost cried on the spot.
The oldest of them is less than nine years old.
Have you ever seen such a formation before? If you don't run, you are already a coward.
"I will teach you a way to treat him as a **** who bullied you, and now go get revenge!"
"Seven against one, what are you afraid of?"
"You have eaten well and drunk well during this period. You have gained at least ten pounds. You are definitely strong enough to fight against ugly and evil monsters! Don't you even have the courage to fight back?"
The cat vulture continued to provoke, and there was a trace of blood on the pale cheeks of the seven boys. They were not bullied in vain during their wandering days.
Fighting is commonplace, although the result is usually similar to a one-sided beating.
"Water ghost, enemy..."
"Insult my bastard!"
The newcomers muttered to themselves, holding the training sword tightly with both hands, their knuckles turning white, because they have not yet learned basic swordsmanship, and their gestures are full of loopholes,
Just use the sword as a stick.
"Phew—I'm about to do it!" Karl pursed his lips tightly, his face extremely serious. Even though he had killed more than fifty water ghosts, he did not take it lightly.
Outlined with the five fingers of his left hand, Karl drew a khaki spell slightly awkwardly, and Quen's shield instantly enveloped his whole body.
He suddenly stood up from under the reeds,
"Come and catch me, you idiot!"
Five pairs of pale, bulging eyes turned around.
The five-headed water ghosts bared their teeth and claws, and attacked with clattering sounds!
The Snake Sect Silver Sword was unsheathed, and its sharp and smooth blade cut through the air,
Karl held the long sword in one hand and maintained the most flexible posture with the other hand. He leaned over and slowly approached the two water ghosts on his left hand, not paying attention to the ones next to him at all.
He believed the teacher and said that two ends are two ends.
The four reserve apprentices spread out while wielding wooden swords, slightly behind Karl, with their eyes fixed on the two water ghosts in the center!
The remaining seven people looked at each other in confusion for a while. The tallest boy, who looked like a thin bamboo pole, yelled "Mom" inexplicably and rushed forward!
Karl blinked and rushed in front of the two water ghosts, pushing with his left hand,
"Bang!"
The magic torrent hit the head of the grinning water ghost on the left like a wooden stick.
It fell to the ground with a clang.
There was only one water ghost left in front of Karl. It was much bigger than him. It rushed towards him from a high position. The two waving arms seemed to crush him into pieces. The stench spewed out from its open **** mouth, which made him feel uncomfortable in the chest and made him want to vomit. But he held back.
The face does not change.
Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the blade thrust upward like lightning! Like a soldier holding a spear to stab a giant!
"Shua——"
A white light flashed in mid-air.
The Snake Sect Silver Sword was crisp, decisive, and precise. It penetrated the water ghost's chin from bottom to top and penetrated into the brain.
The sword penetrated deeply, but Karl's strength far beyond that of ordinary people allowed him to easily withdraw the blade.
The body slipped.
The young cheeks are as cold as ice.
Karl launched the second blow without stopping - using his right and left foot as the center of gravity, he twisted his body and drew a straight line from the sword blade to the right.
The second water ghost just got up from the imbalance and stretched its neck.
It's like automatically putting your neck on the guillotine.
"Pfft..."
The water ghost tilted its half-broken neck and fell sideways, twitching like an epilepsy, leaving only half a life.
The boy stepped on its belly, and the sword he raised reflected the golden light.
……
"Bang!" The two water ghosts screamed and stumbled backwards.
Roy retracted his right hand and shook his head, "Your opponent is over here!"
Immediately withdrew, leaving a gap, four demon hunter apprentices immediately took up their positions, two in front and two in the back, surrounding the water ghost and waving their swords wildly.
However, this was the first time that Monty and the four faced a real and terrifying monster at close range. For the first time, they almost forgot everything they had learned in the training ground.
Four swords make it chaotic.
It failed to seize the opportunity when the water ghosts fell to the ground to inflict fatal injuries, and only drew a few shallow **** mouths on their chests, abdomen and thighs.
Wow, wow, the two water ghosts suddenly kicked their legs apart, jumped up, and attacked with sharp claws on their chests, roaring loudly!
The noise is harsh and the face is horribly distorted!
Akatom and Elaud, who were the first to bear the brunt, were frightened and froze on the spot.
"Plop!"
The water ghost threw them to the ground. The steel swords in their hands fell out and were inserted into the ground. The dirty muddy water submerged their backs and necks.
A pair of sharp claws like awls left deep scratches on the cowhide armor on their chests. Although they did not hurt the flesh, the heavy body of the water ghost pressed down on their bodies like a hill, making them gasp. Don't get angry.
"Crack, click, click!"
The tiny white teeth in the terrifying mouth were like two rows of hacksaws, opening, closing, and approaching their faces.
"Tick tock!"
The smelly saliva fell onto the two little faces that were deformed with fear.
Arkham Tom and Lloyd barely blocked the water ghost's neck with their small hands, their eyes showing despair!
For the first time, they felt the threat of death!
At the critical moment, Monty and Chanem each stabbed the water ghost in the neck with a sword.
He kneaded himself and pounced forward, his small body tightly wrapped around their bodies like vines, barely knocking them down.
The two escaped brats gasped loudly and backed away as if they were disabled!
"Why retreat? Attack!"
The violent roar like thunder is like a wake-up call!
The two people who retreated suddenly calmed down, and the teacher's usual words and deeds flashed before their eyes again.
Key point, weakness!
Like instinct, they suddenly stood up and pulled out the sword blades on the ground,
The most standard basic sword power!
"Shua——"
Two white lights stabbed, and two swords pierced the water ghost's eyes respectively!
……
"Huh?" An Jin's gaze turned to the distance. Roy felt a strange movement and the pendant around his neck began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly there were violent ripples in the swamp in the distance, and an old woman with bone spurs on her back emerged from the mire!
Her skin is green and red, her mouth is full of gaping teeth, and her claws are as long as hooks. She is so ugly that it can stop a child from crying at night!
"Swamp Witch? Sorry, I can't let you interfere with normal teaching." The demon hunter's face turned cold.
"Whoosh—"
A sharp and hasty sound breaking through the air!
The swamp witch trembled suddenly, blood bloomed on her forehead, she wailed and staggered back two steps, her body blurred and she was about to turn into mud and escape.
Roy, who was bowing and holding a sword, suddenly appeared beside it strangely, and a group of scarlet tentacles dripping with blood emerged from the void behind him, pounced, entangled, and tightened with incredible speed!
Lift it off the ground!
"Shua——"
Arondette drew a bright arc.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter.
Left behind Roy was a headless body spurting blood.
The **** and ugly head rolled down to his feet.
Kill the swamp witch, experience value +180, witcher level 10 (580/8500)
……
After the last water ghost was forcibly separated by the demon hunter, it was surrounded by seven little boys.
For a moment, it grinned wide and stood there stupidly, its pale eyes kept looking around, as if it was using its barren brain to consider which one to chew first.
The children are also observing, their immature eyes full of nervousness and fear, and they reach out and draw their swords.
Just before the battle, they had pulled out the sword effortlessly, but now they couldn't pull it out, as if it was stuck with tar.
Their short bodies were shaking like chaff, and their teeth were chattering.
Adult men will lose the courage to resist when faced with ghouls.
Similarly, when a child faces a water ghost, it is like being under a body-holding spell.
Only the fingers are shaking uncontrollably.
"Woooo...help!"
The bamboo pole that called mom the loudest at first collapsed first, turned around and ran away. The other six children followed suit and took small steps back in unison, the training sword in their hands turning into a crutch for the lame man.
The water ghost's eyes immediately lit up and he rushed towards the bamboo pole.
How can a person with short legs compare to an all-around athlete who is good at amphibious, swimming and sprinting?
"Ula Ula" it yelled and ran a few steps with a gust of fishy wind, and like an eagle catching a chicken, it knocked the bamboo pole to the ground, and its mouth was full of mud.
"Woo, mom!"
"Bang!"
A strong air flow came from the side and knocked the water ghost to the ground. He was dizzy and couldn't regain his strength for a long time.
"Why are you shaking? Hurry up!"
And the cat vulture stood nearby, threatening with the most terrifying eyes, reaching out and making a gesture of wiping his throat!
The other Takuma with a watermelon head seemed to find the demon hunter more terrifying. He boldly approached the fallen water ghost, raised his wooden sword and slapped it weakly on the back.
"Ula!"
He became the next victim.
The water ghost threw him to the ground!
The witcher knocked down the water ghost again!
The cycle repeats.
In the next two minutes, all seven children enjoyed the warm and enthusiastic embrace of the water ghost.
Without exception, he became like a little cat with a bruised nose, swollen face, and mud all over his body.
Originally they were scared to death, but when they were abused by water ghosts one after another, they felt as if a jar had been smashed, and the fear in their hearts was gone.
Everyone gnashed their teeth like wolf calves. I don’t know who started it. The seven children divided their labors and cooperated. Each one dealt with one leg, one arm, and one head of the water ghost...
The koala hugged it like a tree.
The water ghost fell to the ground on his back with a "doll" weighing hundreds of kilograms hanging all over his body, his heels slowly kicking the soil ~IndoMTL.com~ His chest rose and fell slightly.
In fact, its internal organs were shattered by the Cat Vulture's repeated Alder Signs.
The remaining "thin bamboo pole", under the threat of the cat vulture's eyes, tremblingly stabbed its eyeball with a sword.
At the moment of relief, a trace of relief appeared on the water ghost's pale and swollen face.
"Ugh..."
The seven children finally let go of the corpse and collapsed in the mud. They retched with sweat and muddy water all over their bodies. Muddy tears rolled down their eyes. They looked excited, excited, and a little scared.
It took a long time to calm down.
"Ugh...we killed it! Ugly monster!"
"Congratulations, you cowards, for successfully winning the first drop of blood." A gratified smile appeared on the corner of Maojiu's mouth, "Although the process was tortuous, the result is still reluctant."
"Do you understand now? The more afraid you are, the faster you will die. If you work together, this thing is not invincible."
"Got it... woo woo... got it."
"Can I go home? I have to take a shower, my clothes are dirty!"
"I'm so hungry!"
The seven apprentices rubbed the bruises on their bodies with pleading eyes.
"No." The cat vulture's gray-green pupils glanced to the other side. The corpses of the water ghost and the swamp witch were stacked together by Roy and used as samples to instruct the five apprentices on how to taste and handle the spoils. "This trip is far from over. , there are still several exciting projects waiting for you."
"Come here all, let's play a fun game..." He took out his short knife, shook his wrist, and sliced open the belly of the water ghost as easily as cutting tofu,
Steamy, red, green, and vomiting internal organs were displayed in front of the children.
"Ugh——"
"Spit up, the more you vomit, the more meat you will eat at night."
"Woo woo..."
……
In the next few days, they experienced the most exciting and wonderful journey in their lives.
