The Divine Hunter Chapter 1: Blue Mountains
The huge blue mountains separate the northern kingdom from the deserts and grasslands to the east.
The solitary mountain peaks covered with silver, the mist-covered river valleys, and the green primeval forests form an endless maze.
After the witcher left the cave marked by the sorceress, he kept climbing up for a long time.
Follow the narrow paths between the mountains and follow the simple animal skin map left by the wolf sect.
Move forward.
Roy and Leisuo both carry space equipment, so the demon hunters have enough space to place survival supplies. They are light and simple, and it is very convenient to travel through the mountains.
There is also a gray-black sacred sparrow hawk hovering in the sky above, guiding everyone in the direction.
But the road is difficult and winding, and the steep ascent is dizzying.
There is even more unruly strong wind blowing, and the gravel falls into the deep valley. If the challenger is distracted for a moment, he will slip down and fall to pieces.
However, extraordinary acumen gives the witcher excellent balance ability.
Although their cloaks were blown by the mountain wind, one by one, they jumped and ran dexterously among the paths on the top of the mountain, their bodies as steady as a rock.
You even have time to look back.
The land that we left before was left far away at the foot of the mountain, and in the far west, it was drawn into the blue horizon - Kaedwen under the rule of Henselt, the king who hated non-human races.
Everything becomes as small as an ant.
…
The four members of the Snake Sect walked from afternoon to evening without stopping. The terrain finally began to decline. They entered the zigzag mountain road on the side of the mountain. When they looked down, a wide valley suddenly appeared in front of them.
Dense pine trees sway their branches underfoot, and green water flows gurgling into the canyons between the mountains.
"Everyone, it's almost time today." Oaks put the map back in his arms and squinted at the sky.
The sun sets over the mountains and night falls.
"Let's find a place to camp and talk about it after tonight!"
The crowd walked on the mountain road paved with brown gravel and weeds, and reached the valley below before dark.
I quickly found a protruding duckbill rock, set up a bonfire on the dry ground under the ledge, and spread hay.
As per the old rules, Roy, the most junior member of the Snake sect, is responsible for hunting and preparing dinner.
The three seniors were sitting on the duckbill rock with their legs crossed, leisurely managing the camp and investigating the terrain.
Too lazy to object.
Having been accustomed to being squeezed, Roy stepped on the soft humus, tiptoed, and silently walked through the low berry bushes and towering ancient trees like a cat.
He comforted the pendant around his neck. On the winter solstice, the magic power of the entire world fluctuated very violently. The pendant would buzz sensitively and had to be stopped frequently.
Controlling the pendant, Roy pinned Gabriel's crossbow body with his left hand, lightly pressed the trigger with his right index finger, and could shoot a fatal arrow at any time.
The dark golden pupils looked around alertly, and through the crystal spider webs in the forest, there was a faint light like a beast.
At the same time, he quietly pricked up his ears, as if receiving information.
Because he has a good helper.
A kite with mouse-grey feathers and a small, divine horse flew quickly through the forest above the demon hunter's head.
Meticulously keeping watch for him, searching for prey.
"Gu——"
The sparrowhawk screamed sharply!
"Whoosh——"
Silver arrows penetrated the dark forest.
Thirty meters away, under the sharp thorns, a fat little animal burst out with blood on its dusty fur, and fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Kill the rabbit, experience +5..."
"Haha, let's have barbecue rabbit tonight!"
Roy gave a thumbs up to his partner in the sky.
Golfing Kites, who received the praise, let out a clear and low cry, landed on a branch and flapped its wings. The joy between looking and looking was beyond words.
The witcher crouched down and quickly moved towards the prey.
But halfway through.
He suddenly stopped and squatted beside a pine tree where two people were hugging each other. He held his breath and his face turned solemn.
The ground shook slightly to the extreme, and the body odor of a large animal rushed into the nasal cavity.
The sparrowhawk also sensed something was wrong, stood on the branch and stretched its neck. Its soybean-sized eyes transmitted the scene it saw to its owner through the mysterious connection.
Through the eyes of Gorfen.
The witcher saw a large, round gray head emerging from behind a bush of thorns.
A huge body covered in fluffy gray and black hair walked to the bush. It was more than 2 meters long and more than 1.5 meters tall.
While walking, the thick fat layer swayed under the bloated body, and it looked like he was shaking his head all the time, which was quite naive.
But the two long, dark claws, the shoulders and arms with bulging muscles like shields fully demonstrate that it is not that easy to mess with.
The big thing lowered his head, licked his scarlet elastic tongue, and directly picked up the plump little beast. He squatted on the ground, clawed and pulled, and his **** mouth cooperated with the bite. He easily tore the rabbit into half and began to enjoy it. food.

Hibernation (passive solidification): The magical biological clock in the grizzly bear's body allows it to reserve sufficient fat in advance when the temperature drops and food is reduced in winter, and choose a hidden tree hole or cave to enter a long-term dormant state. Reduce calories and physical energy consumption to survive the long winter.
……
"Good guy, you dare to take my prey instead of sleeping in a pit?" The demon hunter hiding behind the big tree looked coldly,
Gently rubbing the crossbow with his left hand, "Don't even think about leaving after eating my food, just leave hundreds of pounds of meat behind!"
"Let's have some roasted bear paws tonight!"
The five fingers of the Witcher's left hand were outlined, making a strange gesture in mid-air.
The pale yellow light of Quen's seal flows throughout his body.
Pressing the trigger with his right hand, his pupils shrank into a diamond shape.
"Whoosh—"
Two short bursts of silver light passed through the air in the dark forest.
Sitting on the soft ground, the grizzly bear had no time to react.
"Pfft", two blood flowers splashed out from its left and right eye sockets respectively.
"Ouch--" The grizzly bear was in pain and suddenly let out an angry howl.
Amidst the roar, the forest leaves trembled slightly and the birds flew away in fright.
It stood up suddenly, the fluffy gray hair on its chest and abdomen rippling like waves.
The fat and thick claws plucked the **** arrows from the eye sockets left and right, trying to pull them out.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
How could Roy let it happen? Seizing the opportunity, he fired two more arrows, hitting two huge furry palms.
The grizzly bear no longer cares about licking its wounds, lying on all fours on the ground, shaking its head and turning to the direction of the witcher, its proboscis shrinking, even though it is blind, its well-developed sense of smell instantly helps it lock on to the target.
"Ouch—"
It is like a tank, rushing towards the enemy.
The nearby woods trembled at the violent explosion of movement.
The bloated and huge body moves at an unimaginable speed!
With two breaths, he jumped thirty meters.
Opening its foul-smelling **** mouth, it waved its huge gray flesh claws without a peng.
The bear's paw is covered with gray fur and is larger than an ordinary person's chest. Its power is irresistible. One palm can break the Quen seal, and two palms can break the demon hunter's muscles and bones.
But Roy moved faster.
He raised his crossbow without changing his expression and aimed at the empty position behind the grizzly bear.
Pull the trigger with your index finger.
"Whoosh—"
Where the demon hunter was, the space was distorted and rippled - the figure beside the pine tree disappeared instantly.
Reappeared, already flashing to a tree dozens of meters away.
The hill-like grizzly bear slammed into the banyan tree. Its sharp and slender claws dragged out a row of pale wood chips, and the leaves shook off.
It only puffed up air!
The distance was widened again.
"Whoosh—"
Two arrows struck from behind, piercing both hind legs of the grizzly bear.
It turned around angrily and charged again wildly and fearlessly.
However, it is doomed to be in vain.
The demon hunter who seized the opportunity used this dark forest as the battlefield, constantly using the flicker skill to fly the grizzly kite.
Appears under trees and branches, firing cold arrows continuously.
With his current magic power of more than 180, plus the more than 50 magic points recovered by activating the skill, it is enough to use Blink eleven times in a row.
In less than a minute, many towering ancient trees were ravaged by grizzly bears.
As for it, its body covered with long gray fur has more than twenty arrows stuck in it. It looks like a hedgehog, and it consumes so much energy that even its roar becomes hoarse and weak.
My chest was rising and falling violently, and I was panting like an ox, but I didn't even touch a hair of the enemy.
The grizzly bear finally realized the life and death crisis and began to sprint out of the woods.
At this time, the twilight was closing, and a bright full moon hung in the sky.
The moonlight shines through the gaps in the forest, illuminating a solemn figure.
On the branch, the demon hunter pressed his hands down on the hilt of the sword, kneeling on one knee, with the sharp tip of Gurwyshir's sword pointed vertically downward.
When that huge body rushed forward with the smell of fishy wind and sweat.
He jumped.
The body fell like lightning!
Land right on the back of the grizzly bear.
Inertia plus gravity.
Gu Weisier penetrated the hard skull and penetrated the brain with overwhelming force.
The grizzly bear's sprinting body stumbled forward and fell to the ground. Its bloated body slid five meters away against the soft vegetation.
My head was buried in the sand and dead branches, without any movement.
"Kill the grizzly bear, experience value +150, the witcher calls..." The witcher jumped off the bear carcass, and Gorfen Kites fell on his shoulders, and the long beak touched the short hair beside his ears affectionately.
Roy patted its little head, wiped the blood on the sword body with the bear skin, and quickly pulled out the arrows one after another.
A trace of relief flashed across his face.
In just two minutes, he killed a giant forest beast and tried some kiting tactics.
Benefited a lot.
"Roy, you stepped on Keville's smelly salted fish this morning? You can actually hunt something big!"
A voice interrupted his joy. The hooded demon hunter suddenly jumped down from a nearby branch, picked up one of the grizzly bear's front paws, and gave him a look.
Roy understood immediately, picked up his other paw, and worked together to drag the grizzly bear toward the camp.
"It's a pity that this bearskin has been so tattered by you that its value has been greatly reduced."
"There is no way. With my current skills, fighting it in close combat has certain risks." Although Roy believed that using the Yaksi Seal and shock skills, he could also fight in close combat in just a few seconds. Kill this big guy inside.
But I will inevitably be photographed.
It’s not perfect when you’re injured.
……
The moonlight was dim and smoke rose into the night sky.
Four huge bear paws were set up on the bonfire beside the duckbill rock. The young demon hunter happily used a brush to smear honey and various seasonings, and rotated the grill at a constant speed, full of elastic crystals. The flesh of the palm split with crackling sparks and became sizzling with oil.
The tangy aroma of meat made the vertical pupils of the four hungry demon hunters glow faintly red.
"Everything has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis. I dragged it back to the camp, so this front paw belongs to me!" Oakes licked his tongue, rubbed his hands, and swallowed saliva, looking impatient.
"Do you know how to respect your elders?" Seret waved his hand to drive away the moths and mosquitoes floating in the air, "The other front paw belongs to me!"
Then he looked sad and asked, "Do you still remember that the last time you enjoyed bear paws was two years ago or three years ago?"
"Three years, right? At that time we were still in Nilfgaard, living leisurely in the mountains not far from Gesved." The bald man aimed at the bear's hind paws on the grill, which were bigger than his head. As for the front paws, which are often used for digging out honeycombs and eating, the meat of the back paws is not as tight and elastic, but more plump and juicy. "Since I came to the north, things have happened one after another, and I have been so busy that my feet have not touched the ground. The two bear hunting traps were also abandoned for many days."
"I didn't expect to be so lucky today, kid. You are lucky to be able to defeat such a big guy before the winter solstice!"
"Look, you can get a big harvest on the first day in the mountain. This is destiny! It's definitely a good sign!" Roy smiled from ear to ear, drool dripping from his mouth, "When we get to Kyle ·Mohan can definitely make friends with the Wolf Faction? More than that, we can go further."
"Don't think too much, and don't mention the brotherhood," Leisuo retorted, "Let's see the attitude of the wolf sect first. If we can have a good conversation, then invite them to enjoy life in Nuo City."
The four snake sect members suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Most of the same kind are still struggling with fatal commissions and food and clothing, but they have opened apothecary shops that make a lot of money every day.
Even if I don’t do anything in the future, I still have food and clothing.
I feel a little superior for no reason.
Although, most of the money was collected by one person.
"By the way, last time I saw the White Wolf, what did he say, how many men are left in Kaer Morhen?" Oaks took off the roasted bear paw, took a sip, and spit it out after being burned. tongue, but he squinted his eyes comfortably because of the delicious taste that melted in his mouth.
"Exactly the same as us, four people, Vesemir, the great mentor of the wolf faction, as well as Geralt, Eskar, Lambert..." Roy looked at Oaks, who was jumping out of his mind, and suddenly said maliciously He smiled and said, "I think you and Lambert will definitely have something in common."
"Have you ever seen him, and how did you know about him?"
"Premonition!" Roy smiled without saying a word and turned his eyes to the side. The grizzly bear's declawed carcass lay alone by the campfire, unnoticed.
"By the way, just throw away the remaining bear meat?"
Serrit shook his head with disgust, "As an experienced bear hunter, I must guide you. Except for bear paws~IndoMTL.com~, other parts of this animal are so fat that no matter what No matter how you cook it, it still smells terrible."
"Pick the bear bile later, peel off the skin, and leave it to the Wolf Faction as a gift."
"Bury the rest and feed nature back!"
"Alright!" Roy used a knife to cut off a piece of meat from the bear's neck while turning the grill, and threw it behind him.
A Golfing Sparrowhawk jumped out of the night, took the meat in its mouth, and swallowed it happily.
It's not picky at all.
"How long until we reach the agreed cabin?"
"At the current speed of travel, there are still two or three days."
When Roy heard this, he looked into the dark night, his eyes penetrating through the woods and mountains in the mist.
It's like seeing a towering ruined castle fortress.
Kaer Morhen, here I come!
