The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 817 Memory of Blood

The road to Fano is in a valley with dense rivers and birch forests.

Along the way, Zelin met the Leon gang mentioned by the station boss. These bandits riding horses were running around in the valley. Each of them had a modified hand crossbow that could use copper pipes to shoot small iron pellets. . These people suddenly appeared in the valley, riding horses and wearing windbreakers, appeared near the target, shot them with crossbow arrows, and then disappeared in the nearby woodland.

However, they met the demon hunter. After their first attack, Zelin didn't choose to chase in terrain he didn't understand, but continued to advance along the same path and use the seal to deal with the enemy. After three times in a row, the horses controlled by Yaksi Fayin took off the rider, these bandits realized that they had found a troublesome enemy, and if they continued, they might lose more people.

Zelin also saw the corpse of a Leon Gang victim on the side of the road. A corpse was lying in a pile of grass nearby. From the appearance, it had been dead for several days. However, due to the cold winter, the corpse remained as it was. Looks like. The corpse was hit by Tetsuwan behind, and this fatal wound made him unable to support him to escape from the range of Leon's Gang. He must have been hiding in the grass after being attacked. The property and clothes on his body showed that he had not been robbed, but after finding the ring and brand on the body that could indicate his identity, Zelin's heart sank.

The flame-burning inverted triangle pendant indicated that this was a member of the merchants' union, and the pocket watch on the neck of the corpse had its owner's name written on it.

Host.

This is the young businessman he was looking for. Zelin can only guess from his wounds. He died in an attack by the Leon Gang and after meeting with the Rat Gang members. The demon hunter carefully searched the surroundings and found no other corpses or traces of fighting. Obviously, Horst separated after meeting the rat gang, so that he was attacked by the Leon gang and died in this valley. Obviously, the Rat Gang members did not come here, otherwise Horst would not have died in the valley like this.

The Rat Gang members did not go to Fano Town, but went to Gilexi, and he looked in the wrong direction.

Simply burying Horst’s body, Zelin looked at the map and looked for a shortcut to Bilka Village. It was getting dark, and the sound of wolves reverberated in the valley. He urged the **** to cross a dirt road through the swamp. From time to time, he stepped into the stream. On his trousers, he saw many jumping shadows nearby, and a flash of light in the woodland.

This is the night demon and ghost dog.

Many people must have died in this valley. Gang looting coupled with the rebellion and civil war, there are more and more monsters and demon spirits in the Aibin area. If this world is still far from the next celestial sphere meeting, Zelin can be sure that there will be more monsters formed by evil spirits and evils in the future.

He did not stop, but continued to rush the horse. Strange and piercing songs sounded in the swamp, the place covered by the water mist shone with blue and light green light, and the moonlight was bright. It was a dance party of demon spirits, just like the demon spirits flying in the field during the day, and the same demon spirits at night. Will gather together on a bright moonlit night, anyone who approaches them will lose their minds, and eventually the soul will leave the body in the dance and become a member of the demon spirit.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Ze Lin bent down to avoid the pressed branches. These dead trees seemed to have come alive, waving the branches and slapped the rider on the horse's back. Arms stretched out in the swamps on both sides of the road from time to time, trying to grab the horse's leg. It was a monster that people who drowned in swamps and lakes turned into. The drowning undead was desperately wanting more people to be drowned in the water. Zelin had to draw out the silver sword and chop off several spiritual arms and swords. The Rune on his body was shining, and the drowning souls screamed and retracted their hands.

After about an hour, the **** ran out of the swamp.

Zelin now understands why the marshland is specifically shown on the map to indicate danger, and it is impossible for ordinary pedestrians to pass through this marshland without incident. There are not many demon hunters in the south, and there are not many monsters found near the city, but now it seems that the concentration of southern monsters in some remote places far exceeds that in the north. It's not without problems, but the problem will not appear in the eyes of most people, nor will there be water ghosts and pterodactyls in the sewers like the north. But Zelin couldn't think of what the price would be when the southerners were ready to develop this swampland.

With a sigh, the demon hunter patted the **** on the neck.

"Let's keep going."

Gilexi Village looks very inconspicuous in the wilderness, it is said that this village was not like this in the past. It used to be a very prosperous village. The village located in the valley is very beautiful. The yellow rice fields are shaded by the red brick roofs close together. The nearby hillsides are covered with trees and flowers. People outside the valley when spring arrives. You can smell the fragrance of flowers.

But until one day, an elf farmer fell in love with the local miller’s daughter, but the miller’s daughter laughed at the elf and promoted it as a joke everywhere in the village, so the whole village began to laugh at the elf farmer, and finally the elf. He collapsed and retaliated against Birka in the most extreme way. He set a fire, and a big fire burned the entire village.

After the fire, everyone lost their homes, many chose to emigrate to other places, and others became lazy and drunk. The funds for the reconstruction were diverted to drink. Now the village is poor and desolate. There are only a few messy and ugly shantytowns in the village. The slopes of the canyon are no longer beautiful and bare. The name of the village in the past has also been forgotten. People call this place Flam, which means flame, or Gilexi, which means jealousy.

With the help of moonlight, Zelin found this shanty village in the canyon in the dark. There were no lights in the village, all the windows were closed, all the doors were closed, and the demon hunters did not even listen. To the voice of livestock, there are no militias here, and it seems that the villagers have given up the idea of ​​protecting their village among the gangs in the wilderness. There is no fence in the village. When Zelin approached the village from a hillside, a gloomy wind blew from the other end of the canyon, bringing the dryness and coldness of winter, but when the cold wind blew through the village and passed the demon hunter At that time, Zelin smelled another smell in the wind.

The stench of blood and corpses.

ps: This is a dark horse that Horst gave Hiri before his death, and can be called with a magic bracelet.

Chapter 818 Jealous Village

After Zelin drove his horse into the village, he realized that the residents of this dilapidated village would have to cast another layer of shadow. There is a circle of open space between the low and slumped houses. The open space is next to a slope. That is the highest place in the village. A more complete and suspected hotel building is next to the circular open space. But now, everyone is hiding in their own homes, Zelin understands the reason, because just in the open space, a row of wooden stakes are erected neatly, a total of six, and each stake is tied to a headless corpse. .

"Fatal sword wound." Zelin squatted next to a corpse. The corpse had been dead for almost three days. The open wound on his body had turned black. The corpse had become stiff like a stone in the cold wind. There was only one sword wound on these corpses, and they were all killed by one blow.

Surrounded by six people, Zelin has seen many masters of swordsmanship, but few can swing their swords so fast that they can block attacks from six different directions at the same time without leaving any scars on their bodies. The hunter's sword dance can become a whirlwind, but it is offensive swordsmanship. While swinging his sword to deal with the enemy in front, he can also take care of several other enemies who are attacking from behind him at the same time, and he can also counterattack in the sword dance to accurately take the enemy's life.

This is definitely a master of swordsmanship.

He walked to the side of the corpse. These villagers were obviously frightened by the battle, or for some reason, had not dared to deal with the corpse. The head of the corpse was cut off. This is what a bounty hunter would do, take the head to receive the reward. The swords used by these people were scattered on the ground nearby. There were several gaps in the swords due to collisions. Zelin found all the swords, but none of them had blood stains on them. The bounty hunter was so strong that none of the six besieging him hurt him.

"Damn... is it late? No, six."

There are many tattoos on these corpses, some of which correspond to members of the rat gang. However, in these corpses, Zelin did not find a 16-year-old thin girl who matched Falka. Six, exactly one missing. He was very happy that Falka, who was suspected of Xili, did not appear in these corpses, but it was just as bad that his clue was cut off. All the people who had contact with Falka basically Shang is dead, unless the villagers here can tell him anything.

The bodies of these young gang members were swaying slightly in the cold wind. Zelin found that the bounty hunter seemed to want to advertise to everyone. He killed all the rat gangs and carved under each stake that was tied to the headless corpse. Named the corpse.

Giselle, Esser, Reeve, Iskra, Michel and Carlyle.

This allows Zelin to be sure that Falka is still alive, at least for now.

The demon hunter chopped down these wooden stakes. He used the shovel placed near the house in the open space to dig some holes in the nearby slopes, buried these stiff corpses in them, and scattered some in the grave pits. Jiahu petals, this is something that ghouls hate, like formalin, at least it won't attract scavengers like ghouls. He didn't know the monster activity in this area, so he decided to do it according to his habits in the north.

He buried the last shovel of soil, turned his head, and just saw a gap opened in the wooden window of a wooden house. It seemed that the demon hunter was watching here, and the window quickly closed again, for fear of being noticed. .

Zelin walked back, put the shovel back to its original position, and then walked towards the house.

He knocked on the door.

"Excuse me."

There was no response behind the door. He tried to push it. Something blocked the door. There was no candle in the house. He couldn't see who was inside through the gap between the door panels.

"I just want to know something, it won't take long."

He knocked on the door again, but there was still no response from behind.

"Listen, this is a very important thing to me." Zelin said word by word, making sure that the people inside could definitely hear what he was saying. "I have to know it, and I hope to be in peace. I got the news I wanted in the environment. Now, my patience is running out and there are still two knocks on the door. Don’t doubt whether I have the ability to open this board."

Now, it was a mutant who remained in the story standing in front of the door in the dark, and then he gave two ways to open the door or be opened.

When Zelin knocked on the door for the fourth time, the door opened with a creak. He opened the door, and the bright moonlight passed over his shoulders and shone into the house, spreading silver threads in the shabby clothes and frightened eyes of the man whose half-crouched body was in the shadow of the demon hunter.

Falka and Xili are too alike. If there is such a swordsman who is hunting down and killing all her companions, Zelin can't just sit back and watch.

The demon hunter walked in, snapped his fingers, and the extinguished oil lamp suddenly lighted up. The light instantly drove the moonlight out, allowing Zelin to see the people in the house completely. There was a woman, about thirty years old, hiding in the corner against the wall. She might be a washerwoman nearby. Her hands were peeled with blisters and turned purple and red in the cold winter. Glancing in horror at the burning oil lamp on the other side, a look of pity immediately appeared in her eyes, as if regretting the burnt oil.

"I'm sorry, but I will pay for the news." Zelin took out a few, and the Francis coin reflected golden light in the light of the fire.

"I, um, I, I will tell you that I know. But, but I don't know you... Uh, that is, I thought, you, are you a rat gang?" She didn't seem to have recovered from her panic. Then, some stammers asked Zelin, "I, I swear, none of this has anything to do with me or this village, it has nothing to do with it! This is not done by any of us."

"Calm down, calm down." Zelin drew an inverted triangle rune in front of her, and white light flashed across the opponent's forehead with the sound of glass breaking, and the frightened washerwoman slowly calmed down.

"I won't do anything to anyone, I'm just here to ask about something." Zelin put down his hand, turned and stood at the door, glanced over the doors and windows of other nearby houses, and then closed the door. "Tell me, what is going on outside? What happened, on which day and what happened. Tell me everything you know."

Chapter 819 The Trail of Berhart

A bounty hunter came to this village a few days ago.

"Burhart?"

"I, I don't know the name."

After some inquiries, Zelin finally knew why the village became so nervous after seeing someone approaching. When the Rat Gang came to this village, they told them that as long as a crossbow arrow was shot at them in this village, they would kill everyone. These villagers thought that Zelin was here to seek revenge, so they all hid in the house and drank all the wine to get courageous.

"I'm not a gang member, I'm just a... investigator."
