The Divine Hunter Chapter 46: Totem

After dealing with the wolves, the two continued to move forward.

Kelvin remained silent like a frightened quail all the way until he was about to reach his destination and finally couldn't help but ask,

"Master Leisuo, are all demon hunters so powerful?"

The big man said nothing, but the dwarf became more and more awed.

The two climbed another hillside and came to the Adria Death Point, which was almost exactly the same as the site found at the foot of Mahakam Mountain.

The same branches piled up into a steeple shape are buried under the snow on the ground, and you can still smell the faint smell of wild beasts and birds' excrement.

Leso's eyes narrowed into slits.

Kelvin explained, "A total of eight dead people were brutally lifted into the air by tree branches and disemboweled."

"I don't understand the purpose of the murderer. What is the meaning of the unique way of death?"

The dwarf asked doubtfully.

Lesso answered the question, "According to your statement, in the three months since the incident, the four dead in Sponsall, plus the four dead in Carbon Mountain, a total of eight dead..."

"No, in fact the crime occurred more than four months ago, and the first deceased was the dwarf of Mahakam."

"So this is equivalent to one death every half month?"

The dwarf stroked his beard and said, "In total, the frequency of death is almost half a month."

Leso breathed out, "I guess in the past four months, after every full moon night, a fresh corpse will appear?"

"When you say that, it seems true!"

The dwarf also became suspicious.

Lei Suo's tone became heavy, "Then I can almost confirm what I thought before. This is an ancient ritual, a kind of sacrifice originating from a foreign land. The murderer uses flesh and blood as a primer to stimulate the emotions that are nurtured in the mountains and forests. The source of power. Among the eight dead, the dead on the night of the full moon and the flesh and blood of another dead form a magical cycle, and the murderer will use this cycle to build a long-lasting totem and enhance his own strength."

"What do you mean?"

"There should now be four sets of totems."

The surprise in the dwarf's eyes flashed away when he heard this.

"So the murderer's power has been enhanced four times? Wouldn't that be very tricky."

The demon hunter's eyes darkened, "So we have to destroy his totems one by one and tear off its 'limbs'! Let's see how long this guy can endure."

The dwarf said distressedly, "The forest near Carbon Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. Finding four totems is like finding a needle in a haystack."

"No...didn't I just mention the cycle? The totem set by the murderer must be between the two corpses. So I need you to take me to another, nearest death point."

The dwarf nodded, with a hint of awe on his face, "As expected of a master, he found information that Carbon Mountain had not discovered for four months with just such a short period of investigation."

The two quickly left the place and moved towards another location.

On the way, Kelvin asked with some curiosity, "The Mahakam Mountain Forest is rich in species, and there are all kinds of wild beasts and birds everywhere. The murderer has many choices when it comes to sacrificing flesh and blood, so why did he choose to kill humans and ancient races."

As for the knowledge related to monsters, the demon hunter is not impatient at all. "Although humans often fight among themselves, kill each other, and have many despicable behaviors, we have to admit that humans are indeed less mature than those in the mountains and forests. The civilized ignorant beast is much more advanced."

"Compared with ordinary beasts, of course."

"In other words, the content of source power in human flesh and blood is higher than that of ordinary beasts, so it is naturally more favored by various evil spirits, demons, and demon spirits."

The dwarf couldn't help but ask, "Now that guy has four totems and is in the most powerful state. If we just go to the totems like this, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face. If 'it' shows up, wouldn't it be very... Danger?"

"How about... I go back and bring a group of warriors from Carbon Mountain over first?"

He seemed to feel that he was a little too cowardly and could not lose face. He explained, "It is safer to have more people. Since we already have clues, there is no need to rush for a little time and take greater risks."

"Don't worry..." The demon hunter stopped and comforted, "If the murderer shows up and I am defeated, there will always be no problem in escaping."

"If it dares to expose itself in front of me, no matter how big the mountain forest of Mahakam is, there will no longer be a hiding place for it. I forgot to tell you, this is an experienced and cunning guy, it is not very Could show up so easily."

"Then...well...if there is any unexpected situation, please inform me in advance and I will be mentally prepared."

……

The two walked for nearly an hour, and the time entered the afternoon.

Two rows of footprints of different depths on the snow connected into long snakes.

In the vast mountain forest, a biting cold wind howled past, making people shiver involuntarily.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."

A slight sound like the vibration of a hummingbird's wings came from his chest, and the witcher pressed on the pendant to stop the vibration.

The dwarf raised the war hammer in surprise, bowed slightly, and looked around vigilantly for a long time but found nothing, "Where is it? Where is the totem?"

There is still a plain forest land in front of me, and there is no strange thing similar to a totem in the field of vision.

Lesuo went to a huge cedar tree nearby and found a special symbol on the trunk surrounded by the two of them.

"Antlers, spider webs? What does this mean?" The dwarf came over and muttered, but saw the witcher quickly went to the other end and patted a pine tree.

The third and fourth strains are next.

On the four pine trees, the dwarf found four marks, distributed in the front, back, left and right, faintly forming a square area of ​​20 feet.

The dwarf felt horrified and shrank his shoulders, "What kind of weird magic circle are we in?"

"Found it."

Leso raised his head with his back to the dwarf, and pointed his muscular arm towards the sky. The dwarf followed his gaze and couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Sir Mahakam, what the **** is this?"

Just above the two people's heads, fifty feet up, the huge fan-shaped branches and leaves of four pine trees were tightly squeezed together, and the clusters of needles were filled with snow, blocking the sunlight.

However, so high in the air, in the center of the intersecting branches of four pine trees, there is a spindle-shaped yellow-brown wooden stake hanging. From a distance, it looks like a huge honeycomb, but it is older and more decayed. .

The surface of the wooden pile is covered with dense holes, like an ant nest riddled with holes. It will crack and weather with just the slightest touch.

And in a row of holes at the top, a twisted and spiraling antler extends outward.

The antlers hold tiny biological skeletons, forming a string of ancient accessories.

"This is..."

"Totem..."

While the dwarf was in a daze, the demon hunter ~IndoMTL.com~ quickly came to the bottom of the totem and stretched out his hand to measure the distance.

Then he breathed into the palm of his hand, holding the steel sword with both hands to dig open the thick snow on the ground.

The sword is carried like flying.

Snow and mud splashed everywhere, and soon a huge antler symbol appeared on the bare ground. It was like a scar growing on the flesh, and the whole body showed an evil scarlet color. A faint heat radiates outward.

The witcher's palm passed over the surface of the symbol and said lightly,

"Rune is the core of the totem."

Then his right hand skillfully drew the Igni seal in mid-air, and a cone-shaped radial flame belt was sprayed outward from his palm, continuously burning the mysterious mark.

The dwarf on the other side stammered and hesitated, holding his warhammer and looking around blankly.

He was surprised to find that as the burning continued, four translucent tentacles strangely stretched out from the center of the ground symbol where the witcher was located. They seemed to be living creatures, winding and Twisting and slowly connecting to the trunks of the four marked pine trees.

Black-red liquid beads seeped out from the pine trees, and the liquid beads accumulated more and more, condensing into large strands of horrifying blood.

The baking went on for about thirty seconds, when the witcher looked tired and dispersed the sigil.

There was a loud "pop" sound, and the huge totem hanging in mid-air suddenly fell to the ground.

The dwarf leaned over and took a closer look, only to see that the originally yellow-brown totem had become as dark as dried charcoal, and presented a crisp powdery shape.

"Problem solved."

At this time, the demon hunter took a long breath and struck the totem with a sharp sword. Instantly, a large amount of powder and smoke rose up. Within a few seconds, the totem completely turned into smoke and disappeared into the air.
