The Divine Hunter Chapter 7: Cave
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
In the morning, on the northern outskirts of Sintra, two figures, one tall and one short, were walking on the path leading to the mountain forest.
One of them is wearing black leather armor, carrying two swords on his back, and has a slender figure. The other has a horse face, a thin body, and his mouth is constantly moving.
"Two months ago, my brother Hadawa and I were collecting herbs in the cave and accidentally discovered the little gryphon. It was not long after it was born, its feathers were still wet, and its claws and beak were soft and soft. He was shouting, his body was no bigger than a fist, and he was howling and screaming at us."
“We didn’t recognize its identity at that time and thought it was the cub of a vulture and an eagle. We planned to take it home and raise it, and then perform at the market to earn money when it grows up.”
Galal sighed, a trace of panic appeared on his face,
"Who would have thought that as soon as we picked up the little gryphon, something attacked! The monster was like a hunchbacked deformed man, with gray skin, exuding the stench of corpses, running on all fours like a beast...each claw There are four fingers, and the nails are black hooks..."
"I couldn't react at all. It emerged from the shadows and pounced directly on Hadawa... biting off half of his face in one bite, he pressed him to the ground, pulled and bit him."
"I'm so scared...my mind goes blank, just holding that little thing..." Ma Lian hesitated, with a look of shame on his face.
"Escaped?" Roy asked.
"I left my screaming brother Hadawa behind and ran away..." Galal lowered his head, his face ashen, "I am a coward and a shameful deserter!"
Roy sighed and didn't blame him.
"Running away is a normal human reaction."
The demon hunter knows how terrifying the image of a ghoul is, enough to stop a child from crying at night and scare the faint of heart into fainting.
"When ordinary people face that thing, their first reaction is to either freeze in place or run away. Less than one tenth of them dare to rush up and fight it... In front of the ghoul, don't say They are brothers, even if they are parents, wives and children, most people can’t care about them. This is an instinct to survive..."
"No, I did something wrong!" Galal still blamed himself, "If I hadn't run away at that time, I might have saved Hadawa!"
"Whether it is running speed or strength, ghouls are far superior to ordinary people, and their sharp teeth and claws can easily cut open human skin and crush bones. If you don't escape, you will end up like that brother."
"But if you die because of this, it can be considered an honorable death."
Roy said, looking ahead, they walked up a green hillside covered with alfalfa bushes,
"It's too late to regret now. Tell me about your commission... Do you want to kill that ghoul for revenge?"
"Yes, I want that beast to die a good death!" Crohn gritted his teeth, with a hint of remorse, "And then... collect the body for Hadawa again... He is a warrior, a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. Mercenary, but unfortunately he was hit by an arrow in the knee and his legs and feet were damaged and he was not allowed to retire early... He came to Sintra from Novigrad and started a small business in partnership with me."
"I didn't expect to be attacked by that bitch! He died so miserably."
The retired mercenary died in the wild and at the claws of monsters.
Roy couldn't help but sigh, this must be the destination of most demon hunters.
"As a shameful deserter, I feel sorry for him. The only thing I can do is to give him a decent burial...a sea burial in Sintra." Galal looked into the witcher's eyes and said sincerely Said, "If you can help me achieve my wish, I will give you the little griffon as a reward. If it is not enough, then I will add more..."
"The reward is enough, no extra money is needed." Roy didn't want to open his mouth unconscionably. The young griffon was a priceless treasure to him. "But you have to be mentally prepared. If there is a lack of food, the food will be lost." The wights will not waste Hadawa's bones,"
"Perhaps your brother has been knocked to the bone and his marrow has been sucked out, and not even the dregs are left."
Gallal suddenly stopped, his face turned blue and white, and after a long while he took a deep breath, "Even if I can find a bone... I want to bury him and confess to him."
"Understood." Out of careful consideration, the demon hunter's expression suddenly turned serious, "Last question. Are you sure there is only one ghoul in the cave and the parents of the little griffon are not inside? I think I can handle being alone. 's ghoul, but if there's something else... we both have to finish it."
"The impression was so profound that I will never forget the scene in my life... I was sure that the only one responsible for the attack was a ghoul, which silently emerged from the shadows of the cave and pounced on my unfortunate brother. ..." Galal's face was very complicated, with both rejoicing and a hint of regret, "If there was a second ghoul or an adult gryphon, I wouldn't be able to escape at all, let alone take the little guy away! ”
Roy nodded. Gryphons have a strong instinct to protect their cubs, and it is impossible to leave the children alone - they may have had an accident.
"A ghoul is a decent challenge."
The witcher looked at the sky and felt a little calmer.
At dusk or night, the ghoul's abilities will be strengthened, but in the morning when the sky is clear, the ghoul will be weakened, not to mention that he still reserves a full recovery.
We can fight!
Half an hour later, the two of them appeared next to a certain forest clearing. A hundred feet away, there was a dark and deep cave.
……
The Witcher and Galal looked at the entrance of the cave from a distance and observed it for a moment. The latter recalled the scene at that time, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then shook his head as if to cheer him up, "Master, what's next? What should I do? What should I do?"
"Your only job is to stay outside and hide. It's best to climb up to that poplar tree. Can you climb trees?"
After suffering a loss from Old Huck once, he was determined not to give any chance to outsiders to cause trouble.
Galal's face turned red, and he murmured and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Witcher with a wave of his hand.
"Be patient, I will give you a chance to vent your anger!"
Roy bowed and tiptoed, and tiptoed to the cave, turning on the demon hunter's senses - a row of colorful "ribbons" appeared in his field of vision, most of which came from wild animals he was familiar with, but There are several smells that are very unfamiliar, with colors, smells, and various characteristics that are highly consistent.
He breathed a sigh of relief, now he was sure that there was only one opponent, and he had returned from hunting not long ago.
Check the alchemy supplies in the space, take out the ghoul sword oil, and evenly apply Arondette's dark red sword body and the arrowheads of ten special crossbow arrows.
"Boo--gulu-gulu--"
After taking the swallow and thunder refined by his own hands, a row of black blood vessels appeared on the young man's face.
The five fingers are outlined on the chest, and the pale yellow light flows throughout the body.
He pressed against the wall of the cave and swam in with a ghostly figure.
In the dim cave, a pair of dark golden eyes looked around.
Under the gray bamboo-shaped pointed cone on the roof of the cave, there are messy piles of stones, spider webs, moss, and cave mushrooms. The space is quite spacious, but if you want to fight the ghouls here, the space to maneuver is extremely limited. , he had to take advantage of all the existing conditions.
The witcher memorized the cave structures along the way and rehearsed the fighting scene in his mind.
Two minutes later, after turning a corner in the cave, he suddenly stopped and hid behind a raised rock mass against the wall. In the open space not far away, the dim light reflected a head on all fours, wandering uncertainly. humanoid monster.
Its skin was gray-white like a corpse, and it exuded a stench of rotting flesh. Large bulging muscles could be seen on its limbs and back, and the connecting parts of its legs and feet were arched backwards, like the legs of a dog.
It had a thick, black mouth that reached to the base of its ears. The yellowed rotten teeth inside were as messy as maggots wriggling in feces. The pupils were so black without any impurities, as if they were possessed by the devil, which made people shudder.

……
Roy pressed the trembling pendant around his neck and breathed a sigh of relief. The target's attributes did not crush him, especially in terms of agility, which was not as good as him. This meant that there was room for maneuver.
What’s more, he has the upper hand now!
Quietly, the demon hunter traced the five fingers of his left hand and pressed it on the ground in front of him. In an instant, the lavender Arden trap rose up.
Call out the hand crossbow, squat behind the rock, inhale, and aim at the ugly head——
Guide the arrow!
"Whoosh——whoosh——whoosh——"
In one second, three crossbow arrows dragged their blue tails, like falling meteors in the night sky, and hit the target!
"Roar——ah——"
A hoarse and unpleasant roar like a file echoed in the cave, and the ghoul was shocked. His dark eyes turned to the sneak attacker behind the rocks, and he ran towards the attacker with three arrows on his bare forehead!
Roy continued to pull the trigger calmly and fired three more arrows. The hand crossbow disappeared and switched to a silver sword.
A total of six arrows, three guide arrows and three ordinary arrows. When the ghoul jumped on the rock in front of him, half of his life was gone!
The wind is blowing!
The hook-like claws swung towards the artery in the witcher's neck, and the smelly saliva between the rotten teeth almost dripped onto his face, but it was slow. Under the influence of Arden's trap, its movements were covered with an invisible layer. shackles.
The witcher rolled low to the ground, dodged the claw attack, rolled from in front of it to behind it, suddenly stood up, spun around, and swung his sword——
The dark red sword blade swung through the air and struck hard into the back of the ghoul's neck, instantly tearing open the skin and flesh, revealing the dense white bones.
In severe pain, it regained consciousness and turned around. A light green inverted triangle seal was reflected in its pupils, making it freeze in place.
Roy under the rock suddenly took a deep breath, and jumped with all his strength, like a big predatory cat rising into the air, leaping over its side, the blade of the plow in front of him stretched from top to bottom. Down - a slash, with all the strength and inertia of falling.
A crisp sound.
The sword blade struck the back of the neck, but was stuck in the hard bone.
The monster entrenched on the stone suddenly roared, a strange red light emitted from its body, and its withered life quickly soared - it jumped down, and swung its sharp claws towards the chest of the attacker.
The latter tapped lightly on his toes, retreated quickly to avoid the attack, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes - shocked!
In an instant, countless waving **** tentacles were reflected in the dark pupils of the ghoul, as if emerging from the void, tightly wrapping around it, making it difficult for it to move.
The wind is surging.
The silver sword appeared in the demon hunter's palm, and the muscles under the leather armor swelled. For the third time, he slashed hard at the same position - a dark red blood light flashed through the dim cave.
The next moment, Douda's head was thrown away and rolled to the feet of the demon hunter.
With a circle of blood splattering around its neck, the headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.
"Kill the ghoul, experience +100... Demon Hunter LV5 (2850/2500)"
"Huh..." Roy shook his wrist and shook off the blood on the silver blade, his cold expression slowly thawing.
The whole battle lasted less than ten seconds. His goal was clear from the beginning, to attack the fatal weakness and never give the ghoul time to recover. Facts have proved that his strategy was correct, and by seizing the opportunity, he won the battle.
But in retrospect, he still felt a little bit unsatisfied. He was used to being tortured by Oaks.
Roy smiled self-deprecatingly, squatted down and skillfully dissected the ghoul, and was pleasantly surprised to find an ordinary-level red mutation inducer. He was one step closer to becoming an intermediate-level demon hunter. There were ten types that needed to be killed. Monsters also become 3/10.
After dealing with the ghouls, he scanned the entire cave again and unexpectedly found several clusters of herbs, such as datura, big-leaf vine, and buttongrass.
In addition, the bones of various animals are piled around the cave: deer, roe deer, wild dogs, and even two unlucky humans.
In addition, he also found two huge buffalo-like skeletons close together in the cave's hinterland... Judging from the long beak on the head, hook-like claws and tail on the corpse, it should be that The parents of a young griffon.
As for the cause of death, one of them had multiple severe fractures on his body. Perhaps he fell from a high altitude due to special circumstances while flying, and then died of his injuries.
The other skull was shattered, and Roy used his witcher senses to find a dried blood stain stained with feathers on the wall next to the body, a very consistent crack, which proved that it committed suicide.
Dark Gold's pupils showed regret,
"Undying love...Griffins are indeed the most loyal animals, but you just leave your children alone, okay?"
Suicide can certainly fulfill love, but their children would be unlucky. If they hadn't happened to be bumped into by the Gallar brothers——
The ghoul was obviously attracted to the cave by the rotting bodies of the two griffins. If Galal had not taken away the little griffin, the latter would have suffered sooner or later.
……
"Hadawa...Brother...I can't help you, I'm a big **** and a coward!" Galal knelt down in front of a human skeleton wrapped in blue cotton armor. Behind him, lying The headless corpse of a ghoul is riddled with holes. "I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I swear that I will comply with your wishes during your lifetime and give you a glorious burial at sea!"
"Bang, bang, bang!" Galal knocked his head hard several times to the bones in front of him, causing his forehead to turn red and tears to flow from his eyes.
He sobbed a few times, and deep guilt appeared on his face, followed by relief.
"Master Roy, I will give you your reward as soon as I return to the city."
"Don't worry...Actually, you can continue to hold a rare animal exhibition in Sintra." Due to lack of willpower, Roy was unable to forcefully tame the little griffon. It was extremely inconvenient to take it with him, so he could only find a temporary shelter. nanny.
"Are you serious, Master?" Galal couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
"The money earned from the exhibition is all yours, but you have to be responsible for the little guy's food, and you must not treat him badly!" Roy explained, "I will come frequently to check and pick him up when I am fully prepared. .How about it? Any questions?"
"Then, I'll do as you say!" Galal agreed immediately~IndoMTL.com~After all, making money by guarding a booth is much easier than other jobs, "Master, please don't worry, I will definitely take care of it." It!"
"Don't play tricks, otherwise you will end up worse than a ghoul! And remember, reinforce all the cages, don't let it escape and hurt people again! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the market to see it."
As for now, the witcher needs to clear out the herbs in the cave.
……
When Galal returned to the city with his brother's remains in his arms, he still looked a little confused...
So many things happened in one day. The demon hunter was entrusted to kill the ghoul, collect the brother's remains, and the little griffon was recovered, although it was only temporary.
But it all feels like a dream.
It wasn't over yet. When he returned to the tent, the girl in the yellow dress who had questioned him suddenly appeared and smiled at him, her dark eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Your name is Galar, right? Can you tell me what you did with the witcher this morning?"
