God-level Demon Hunter

"Oh, you know Ms. Merigold quite well!" Lamber made a playful face at the sorceress beside him, and Triss tossed her hair and ignored him.

"Well, this assassination ended in failure. Under the heavy protection of the High Priest of the Virtue Church, Her Highness Yada White, Triss, Kaila, Fikat, the army, and our three experienced demon hunters, even if Even a wasp can't get close to Foltest. Dozens of attackers are no problem." Lambert glanced at the misty hillside on the other side of the river,

"Thirty-eight of the assassins died in the chaos, and eleven were arrested and killed themselves by swallowing poison."

"But there were still a few who escaped separately. In his anger, Foltest sent a large number of soldiers to the east to hunt down. Oaks continued to stay in Soden. Let's chase west to Brugger, the river of Chotte!"

"Boy, since you have survived the second mutation, come and help catch the escaped assassin, we must find him before Temeria's soldiers!"

"What do you mean?" Roy asked in surprise, "You don't want to assist the king in arresting the assassin?"

"It's not ordinary people who escaped." Aiden quietly clenched his fists, his face complicated and his voice hoarse.

As soon as Roy's heart moved, he heard him say a name in a deep voice,

"Cat Pie Demon Hunter, Gaitan, my former companion, I remember that face!"

Having been a member of the Brotherhood for so long, Aiden almost forgot that Cats used to assassinate for a living.

But he really didn't expect that even today, there are compatriots who would accept such a disgraceful way of life, and it was not an ordinary assassination, but the killing of a monarch with a vast land and great talents.

If he succeeds, the entire Temeria will set off a bloodbath, resulting in countless casualties.

He emphasized, "Gaitan was originally a rationalist, and he was not too negatively affected by the decoction, but occasionally became emotional."

Gaitan?

As Roy listened, his expression suddenly changed, a bald, scarred face, and a memory flashed through his mind.

A few days later, a deer-headed spirit harassed Waylon's Honnauton village. Gaitan accepted the commission to hunt it down, but after completing the task, he was repudiated by the village elders and led to the barn, where he was attacked behind the back with a pitchfork. In anger, he went on a killing spree and slaughtered the entire village.

Geralt bumped into him just in time, setting off a dangerous romp between wolf and cat.

This is the butterfly effect. Because of his troubles, the assassination of King Fu was brought forward, and the assassin changed from Lei Suo to Gaitan who was attracted by the elves.

"I heard that the cat faction is the school with the most prosperous elves' blood, and quite a few demon hunters from the cat faction worked for the elves in Blue Mountain in the past." Roy pondered.

"It's quite an ancient tradition, and there are not many followers left, but Gaitan does have some elven blood, and he obviously regards himself as a member of the ancient race."

Aiden paused and said worriedly,

"Gaitan was hit by Kaila and Fikat's spells, and was seriously wounded by the sword. We traced the blood all the way to this point, and the river wiped away the traces."

"But he can't run far. If he wants to survive, he must find a foothold on the opposite bank as soon as possible to heal his injuries."

Aiden looked at Roy, his scarlet pupils were slightly moist, and his expression was sincere, "I want to find this brother who has gone astray, and give him a hand!"

"That's right!" Lambert waved his fist at the side, and excitedly chimed in, "Uniting all demon hunters worthy of wooing is the purpose of the association at the beginning! The meaning of our organization's existence!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." Triss said in a very natural tone, "I want to make sure that guy doesn't take action against any northern monarch, otherwise the country will be in turmoil and the people will suffer!"

Is there any mistake, you are obviously the bodyguards of King Fu, but now you want to save an assassin? !

Roy complained in his heart and fell silent.

Introduce a cat-pie assassin into the Brotherhood against the King of Fred.

Is it worth it?

Everyone on both sides of the telescope held their breath.

"Then find him first, and then everyone will decide how to deal with him."

Roy made a final decision,

"Lambert, why are you standing there in a daze? Immediately contact Kayan, Escal... There is an old saying that there is strength in numbers!"

"Haha, I knew you kid never disappoints!"

Chapter 4 Missing

At noon, the bright sun tore through the hazy fog.

As the river wind blows, a large piece of knee-deep water grass sways its slender waist, and the green reflection is bathed in the golden ripples by the river.

The scenery of the Choate River is pleasant, but Lambert, Aiden, and Triss are not in the mood to appreciate it.

The three of them waited until Roy, Kayan, Escal, Vulture, Cohen, and Coral descended through the portal, and after explaining the basic situation to them, they vigorously launched a large-scale search along the river bank.

The demon hunters who are best at tracking and tracking worked together, and within a short while, they dragged out from the reeds a half-wrapped canvas, covered with gray and white spots, old and rotten, as if it would disintegrate at any time.

A few patches of light red blood were scattered on the bow deck of the swollen ship, and the demon hunter moved his nose in unison——

Fragrant and fishy sweet, the smell of herbal plants and monster organs is extremely pungent.

But everyone is very familiar with this, it is the unique smell of the conventional potion "Swallow".

"It seems that Gaitan's injury is more serious than I expected." Aiden stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his fingertips, and his red lightning-like vertical pupils turned, "Riding from Fort Amelia to the Choate River, it took a full One night passed without a second of rest. Even with the potion to suppress the injury, he would lose too much blood, so he didn't have the energy to deal with the traces of escape perfectly."

It's disturbing that the Cat School, the school best at stealth, leaves such obvious clues.

Roy even began to suspect that conventional means would not be able to save that colleague's life in time

"He is very weak, and the next road can only be supported by willpower, and he can't run too far!" Aiden turned around and looked at his companions with tense expressions, and gritted his teeth. he!"

He took a deep breath, blushed and growled,

"Demon hunter, you must not die in a panic!"

Everyone was silent.

To die like a bereaved dog is so disrespectful and pathetic!

"Let's be optimistic, folks, since fate led us to find this ship, it's only natural to find Gaitan. Isn't that how stories are written?"

Roy patted Aiden on the shoulder comfortingly, and looked up along the position of the wooden boat, a bright red ribbon that smelled of sweat mixed with blood was reflected in the silver-gray pupils.

The silk ribbon winds in mid-air, and a row of band-like blood footprints pointing to the distant dense forest simultaneously appears on the soft mud floor below, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, without a trace of cat-like lightness and agility.

Everyone realized that they had to race against time, and decisively ran along the bloodstains.

Even Lambert, who is always lively, was too silent to joke.

The two female sorceresses knew that their physical strength was limited, so after blessing everyone with lightness spells, they watched them pass through a wet grass field and enter the lush birch forest.

Dappled sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

A series of lean and fierce figures form a column and run at lightning speed, jumping over the fallen dead trees, brushing over the humus layer made of moss mushrooms and fallen leaves, like a pack of hunting wolves.

Roy rushed to the front, and Lambert and Aiden stood guard on both sides, looking around from time to time, looking for cat pie.

The clues along the way are more and more shocking. In addition to the blood, a series of iconic objects gradually appear——

Drinking potion jars, three alchemy bombs, five sharp throwing knives the length of your index finger, a leather jacket full of hidden pockets, poison bags, animal hides that were scratched by swords, scorched by flames, covered in resin, blood and sweat cloak……

In front of everyone's eyes, there was a messy figure staggering around clutching his wound, his figure was precarious, his chest heaved violently like a broken bellows.

Every time he took a strenuous step, blood poured out from the open wound.

Obviously, Gaitan, who was seriously injured, was at the end of his rope and could no longer sustain himself. He began to abandon most of the "burdens" he carried with him, and struggled to survive with his last strength!

But in the wilderness, where can he hide, without the conditions to heal his wounds, how can he save himself then?

Maybe he was just moving forward on instinct.

Roy's sense of urgency grew stronger, he simply greeted everyone, took out the hand crossbow and pulled the trigger continuously.

The bowstring kept vibrating.

shhh-

Amidst the sharp sound of breaking through the air, Roy jumped a distance of [-] meters in the forest, flickering and tracking at a jaw-dropping speed.

He made up his mind that as long as Gaitan was still alive, he would immediately use a dose of high-absorbing decoction to save his life!

In a short while, he left his companion far behind, and came to the two forked roads at the exit of the dense forest. A crooked wooden sign stood at the intersection, pointing to Kent Village on the east, and the writing on the west was unclear.

Roy squatted down to check the pool of blood that lingered among the fallen leaves under his feet, touched his index finger, and brought it to his nose for sniffing.

It was very fresh, and it existed for no more than three hours. It had a considerably larger amount of blood than the remaining places along the way, so Gaitan should have stayed here for a long time, and even fell down and passed out here.

But where is he?

Roy subconsciously pricked up his ears, restrained his breathing, and carefully turned around to look at the surrounding green nettles, thorns, and low birch trees...

Sparrowhawks chirped on the branches, and myriads crawled among the moss, making rustling sounds.

There is no human gasp or heartbeat.

Five minutes later, the unwilling Roy searched the neighborhood. Unfortunately, except for the blood, the demon hunter failed to detect any marks belonging to Gaitan from the surrounding senses. His whereabouts were unknown, as if he had fallen in a pool of blood Melt out of thin air.

This is really counterintuitive.

Roy rubbed his chin involuntarily, lost in thought at this incredible scene.

Soon, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and the demon hunters headed by Lambert rushed out of the woods in a hurry.

"Boy, what's the situation? I lost my way in broad daylight, or did I suffer from insomnia and drowsiness last night?"

Lambert scanned around eagerly, pressed his companion's shoulder and asked,

"Why don't you continue to track Gaitan if you don't find it? Human life is at stake, and we must not slack off in the slightest!"

"The clue is broken here, where do you want me to chase?"

Roy patted the mud off his palm, looked around at the crowd, shook his head and sighed,

"Sorry everyone, Gaitan is missing."

"Don't talk stupid!" Escal's sharp-edged face transformed by high-absorbing decoction was full of doubts, and he said in a low voice, "How can a person who is seriously injured and dying, and can barely walk, disappear inexplicably? As the old saying goes, everyone If you walk by, you will leave traces! You must have missed the clue."

"Then open your eyes and take a good look!"

Three minutes later, the demon hunters looked at each other.

"Damn it, that's impossible!"

Aiden growled in disbelief, "If a hungry beast drags him away, it's impossible to leave only this bloodstain."

The vulture squatted beside him, with a look of doubt in its gray-green eyes, and murmured,

"I didn't find any footprints or excrement of wild animals, and there was no sign of a fight around, or spurts of blood or minced meat formed by sharp teeth biting."

Roy held the cold and quiet snake pie pendant in the skirt, and added,

"The chaotic energy is unusually calm, which means that at least in the past week, no one has cast a spell here, ruling out the possibility of escaping with a portal."

"Guydon, a cat pie, it's impossible to grow wings and fly away, or to burrow into the ground to escape?" Lambert said rather annoyed, "This is more absurd than a trick to fool children!"

"Calm down, buddy!" Keyan punched Lambert hard in the chest and looked around, "If you have the time to complain, it's better to use your brains and use your rich experience and experience, everyone think about it! "

"Is it possible that Gaitan was rescued?" Cohen stroked the slight depression on the fallen leaves with both hands, and a sunny temperament naturally appeared on his tough face, which made people feel relieved. There are some messy footprints, which means that other people passed by here. If they properly treated Gaitan’s wound on the spot, there would not be too many smells and traces left! Maybe Gaitan has been transferred to a safe place. The place."

Hope ignited in Aiden's eyes when he heard the words, it was better to be rescued than to die on the spot.

Roy shook his head, this is just self-deception.

Even the most skilled field nurses couldn't bandage up blood, or even leave a trace of smell, so that the collective perception of the demon hunters failed!

As for footprints, this road is the only way from the forest to the Chote River, and there are all kinds of footprints along the way.

What matters is the smell, Gaitan's breath is gone.

"Everyone, I know that this possibility is very small, but it is the most reasonable at present, or do you have a better idea?!" Ke En said in a deep voice, "There is no time to hesitate, I suggest going to the village in the east immediately Ask about the situation."

A pair of vertical pupils of different colors flickered, and after a while, everyone nodded.

"Then divide the troops into two groups. Don't forget, we have to deal with not only the missing cat faction, the army sent by King Fu is rushing here, we must not let them get involved and affect our actions?! "

Roy quickly made an arrangement. He took Aiden, Cohen, Kayan, and Escal, and followed the footprints outside the dense forest to the Kent Village, where humans gathered in the east.

But Lambert was reluctant to stay in the birch forest with the cat vulture, and continued to search for clues, meet the two sorceresses, and by the way, use the identity of King Ferrer's bodyguard to fool and mislead the coming Soden soldiers.

Chapter 5 Unrest

When the breeze blows, the rape blossoms and corn in the golden field roll up and down, and not far behind, a small village stands.

Five or six farmers wearing straw hats were wielding hoes in the field. The sun illuminated a large area of ​​healthy blush on their faces, and glistening sweat slid down the sides of their faces.

In the fence, hundreds of gray and black wooden and stone bungalows are lined up on both sides of the muddy street, hay-roofed barns are dotted around the edge of the village, and clucking chickens, croaking ducks, and barking dogs are having fun on the main road. .

A rural picture full of life is slowly unfolding.

The demon hunters stopped to observe for a while, and finally decided that Roy and Aiden would approach the village, while the rest of the guys stayed outside and waited for an opportunity. After all, five or six heavily armed mutants pouring into the village at the same time would definitely arouse unnecessary vigilance.
