The Divine Hunter Chapter 8: Little Earth Spirit

It was an evening, the sun was setting on the horizon, and the brilliant sunset was rising.

A piercing scream suddenly came from the grass.

Bawi pulled out the rusty iron sword from his waist and rushed past behind the electric-looking demon hunter. Frick took out an arrow from the quiver and followed closely. There were also a few women holding sticks and holding torches running at the end.

Soon, they discovered that the person making the noise was a little boy from Liuye Village. He was thin and small, wearing a shabby and yellowed cotton-padded jacket. He was so scared that he froze in place, trembling and screaming, like a frightened animal. squirrel.

One of his fingers pointed to a dark tree hole more than ten meters away, about half a meter high, and vaguely tilting toward the ground.

Roy ran to him in the blink of an eye, turned him with his right hand so that he faced himself, and quickly and covertly sketched a Yaksi seal on him with the five fingers of his left hand, soothing his panicked mind and calming him down. scream.

Then, the demon hunter looked at the tree hole with his peripheral vision and frowned.

Could it be another child hunter?

Take a step back slightly.

While Bawei was about to rush forward with his sword in hand, Frick had already cocked his arrow and started taking aim. He noticed something moving in the tree hole.

Once or twice.

A sudden appearance revealed half of his pale face.

"Don't fire the arrow!" Roy finally caught a glimpse of the corner of the thing and breathed a sigh of relief. "Put your weapons away. Bawe, Frick, and the lady behind."

"What's in there?" asked a freckled woman with a voice as high as a soprano. "Fox, vole, or rabbit?"

"With the size of this tree hole, I feel it is more likely to hide a wild boar!" Bawe bowed his knees and said eagerly, "Maybe we can add some food and eat some meat. Wild boar meat is very flavorful, and since Nepal I haven't eaten for several months since the Fogadians came."

When the women and children heard this, they couldn't help but take a few steps back!

The wild boar is definitely not an easy thing to deal with, if it runs rampant in this flat place.

"Keep quiet, don't make any sound!" The demon hunter shook his head, "It's not a wild boar, nor a wild animal. In short, it's not a threat to us! Just leave everything to me, I'm a professional."

The two hunter brothers looked at each other after hearing this, looking at the sword behind him, thoughtfully.

Roy pushed the frightened boy to the woman behind him, who was probably his mother. He spread out his hands to show that he was not hostile, and moved closer to him step by step while squatting half-crouched.

"Hey! Friend! I see you, don't be afraid, we are just refugees passing by." Roy's mouth curved slightly, showing a gentle smile, "My name is Oakes, what about you? Can you tell me your name?" ”

Everyone was startled. Could it be that a person was hiding in a tree hole?

I couldn't help but hold my breath.

"Donny lives in the tree hole, he is a good guy!" A nervous voice with a bit of a drake's voice came out of the tree hole, and at the same time poked out a small head.

Everyone took a closer look under the light of the setting sun. This guy had straw-like dry and messy yellow hair. The cheeks under the hair looked like a childish child. His skin was pale with a touch of earthy gray, slightly Looks swollen, has a big fleshy nose, thick lips, and baby fat cheeks. But the skin is rougher than that of children.

The most eye-catching thing was his pair of big golden eyes, which glanced at everyone with curiosity, shyness, and a hint of anxiety.

If Roy could describe it in one sentence, it would be a little ugly and a little cute, which makes people feel inexplicably fond of it.

"I'm really making a fuss!" Bawe put away his weapon, walked to the demon hunter, and gave the little guy a simple smile, "I thought there were some dangers, such as wild boars, lizards, poisonous snakes, or holes. There is a Nilfgaardian soldier hidden inside! But what is this? Isn’t this the Lutin goblin? My father told me before he died."

"That's right, nature is so vast and full of surprises." Frick waved hello to it, and then shouted to the women and children behind him, "The crisis is over! Don't worry, everyone!"

"No, the Lutin goblin lives in mountains and mines, not tree holes, swamps, or forests. This is a little goblin that has nothing to do with him..." Roy corrected his mistake, "But you One thing is true. In most cases, he can make friends with humans, and he especially likes simple human children. Maybe he just wanted to say hello just now?"

Little Diling paused, shook his fist at them, and asked anxiously, "Are you really refugees, not accomplices of the bad guys? Don't lie to Downey, otherwise Downey will give you nightmares!"

"It's true!" Bawe stretched out his hand and pointed back, "Open your eyes and take a look. Could it be that these delicate women and children wearing crotchless pants are all executioners wearing armor and holding swords? We? I was passing by here, and I didn’t want to disturb you. If Little Kerry scares you, I’d like to apologize to you on his behalf!”

Donnie looked at everyone hesitantly, and the women were pointing at him and chirping like sparrows!

"Goddess Meriteri! Oh my God! He can actually talk."

"He looks a little different from our child. He looks like a wild child. Is he from the east side of the Blue Mountains?"

"Nonsense~IndoMTL.com~There is only hot desert on the other side of the mountains, and the skin is so tanned that it looks like charcoal! I bet he comes from the other side of the sea."

Donnie couldn't help but lower his guard.

Donnie knew that those cruel soldiers who burned, killed and looted would definitely not bring such a group of lively women with them.

Even if there is a woman, it is not in this state, but in a state similar to wood.

"Donnie believes in you! Refugee friends, Oaks friends, help me!" the little earth spirit shouted,

"What do you mean, how do you want us to help?" Roy asked.

He slowly climbed out of the tree hole.

Perhaps he has lived in a narrow underground for too long. He is hunched over like a little old man, squatting on the ground with his feet and pressing his hands lightly on the ground. His posture is a bit like a toad.

His body is as petite as that of a stunted child, with two rows of skinny ribs on his bare body, covered with weird tattoos that look like feathers or insects.

The lower body is covered with simple shorts, woven from straw, animal hair, feathers, and some linen.

But it is strange that the place where he lives is so bad, he does not have an overly unpleasant smell, but exudes the fragrance of grass and trees, with a bit of earthy smell.

"Get Dorothy out!"

"Rescue people?" Roy raised his eyebrows, feeling something bad for no reason. And everyone was also worried. Who among three men and a group of women and children could be saved?

"Tell me more carefully, is there a monster or something in the north?"

"Not long ago, a group of terrifying knights armed with swords, hammers, and axes, and riding black horses, attacked the Mud Village ahead. Blood, all blood! Many people died!" Danny stammered , scratching his head and ears anxiously, "Donnie was so frightened that he ran away and tried to find a way to bring in reinforcements. He happened to meet a refugee friend."

"Dorothy is in danger, please, save her!"
