The Game of Demon Hunter

Chapter 14 The Sound of Horseshoes in the Mist

The fog in the forest was getting thicker and thicker. In the afternoon, even experienced witchers couldn't tell the direction. Fortunately, they could point out the direction before they could move on. The small team of thirteen people couldn't meet head to tail. Amidst the warning sounds of the witcher, everyone carefully stared at the shoulders of the person in front.

Ted, who was walking in the front, signaled everyone to stop and rest, and walked to the side of the witcher with the captain, and the rest formed a circle to hurry up and rest.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yichen looked at Ted with a heavy face and asked.

"It's not quite right. We've been walking for nearly five hours. According to our speed, we should be able to see the Arnhem River, but look!" Ted pointed to the stream beside him.

The water of the creek flows leisurely, and the water is crystal clear, but even Xu Yichen knows that if it is near the fork of the river, the water flow should be much more turbulent, not as it is now.

"I grew up in the forest, and I have never seen such a thick fog in thirty years." Ted looked at the witcher Gangze and Captain Rockefeller with his eyes, hoping to get an answer from his companions.

Captain Rockefeller glanced at the witcher and said: "I once encountered a heavy fog at sea. At that time, we had a total of six boats, heading to Florida in the New World. If we persist for the last day, we will be able to see Florida. We reached the strait, but there was a heavy fog that morning. We sailed in the fog for two days and one night, but we couldn't get through the fog. The magnetic compass pointer on the ship was fine. The direction shows that everything is normal, our course is correct, but according to our speed, we should have sailed the boat to the city of Miami."

The old captain narrowed his eyes, and the thick fog around him made him seem to have returned to those days of despair: "Then, the fog suddenly cleared, and the Celeste disappeared completely, O Sea God, on the fog Less than half an hour before I left, I asked the mage and the captain of the ship to locate each other, and it was less than 200 meters to my right. And the poor Rosalie, at the forefront of the fleet Pilot, when we found something wrong with it, there was no one on it, not even mice or cockroaches—”

"Captain, you are very lucky!" Demon hunter Gangze interrupted Captain Rockefeller's memory: "I guess your cabin is full of slaves from the Black Continent, isn't it?"

The old captain's embarrassed expression indirectly answered the witcher's question.

"There's no time to waste on horror stories, you just need to know that this thing is dangerous, very dangerous." The witcher's words were cold: "It's so dangerous, if you fully understand the truth, there will be people like me Someone came to talk to you, do you understand me, Captain?"

Under the direct gaze of the witcher, Xu Yichen saw the old captain nodded stiffly, not even daring to wipe the cold sweat off his face.

Ted was a smart man, so he didn't continue to ask this question. After a ten-minute rest, he called the team to continue to bury their heads along the stream, and the team was silent for a while.

----------------Dividing line----------------

"You don't seem to like talking to them?" Xu Yichen, who was walking at the back of the team, whispered to the demon hunter Gang Ze.

The thick fog obviously made the witcher not very happy. He turned his head and stared at Xu Yichen: "I am 264 years old. All my contemporaries are either dead or missing. After being a hunter, it won't be many years before you stop wanting to know these mortals."

Looking at Xu Yichen's youthful appearance, the witcher was silent for a while: "However, ordinary apprentices can only experience this after their first 100 years of age, if they don't die in the mouth of monsters before then."

Xu Yichen obviously couldn't understand the world view of the longevity species. As a player, he didn't worry that he would encounter such troubles in the future: "About these fogs, what do you know? Sir?"

"Someone is opening the door to the chaotic world. Every time this happens, it means that some guardians have failed to complete their mission." The voice of the demon hunter Gangze revealed deep dissatisfaction: "I should have predicted in advance that I couldn't Trust those religious lunatics, these dense fogs can disturb people's perception, after a while you may smell the smell of sulfur, you may also feel the temperature drop, the biggest possibility is to encounter a bunch of disgusting large bugs , the focus depends on the situation on the other side of the gate."

Sir Gunzer then gave his apprentices the opportunity to popularize the knowledge of witchers: "As an apprentice, you should not be allowed to know this knowledge before you can complete the valley trial, but in the current situation, you only Learn what you can meet.”

"Every time the door to the chaotic world is opened, hundreds of thousands of creatures are required to sacrifice their flesh and souls. Judging from the current situation, at least two thousand people are needed. The souls and bodies of intelligent creatures are Chaos' favorite sacrifice. I don't know how long we have, but when the danger comes, you need to participate in the battle as a demon hunter. I will never show mercy to any weak behavior!" Hunter Gangze has a solemn expression and cold words, anyone can easily tell that he is definitely not joking.

"Wonder hunters will not be ashamed!" Xu Yichen replied firmly.

As time passed, the forest began to slowly darken again. Driving in the mist all day made everyone exhausted. Even the white wolf of the witcher was sticking out his tongue and panting heavily.

Captain Rockefeller slowly approached Xu Yichen, and whispered, "Xu, are you a witcher now?"

Xu Yichen looked at the captain who spoke cautiously for fear of being overheard by Gangze, smiled and replied: "Yes, I am still an apprentice now, why are you so afraid of him?"

The old captain looked around: "Haven't you heard of them before? Demon hunters specialize in hunting witches and monsters, and they live forever like vampires. Anyone who knows their whereabouts or has information about them is here After being visited, they were all killed by them!"

"Most of them are rumored captains." Xu Yichen explained: "Do you think I look like a guy who can kill people indiscriminately? They just live too long and don't want to have anything to do with ordinary people."

"So, they are really immortal like vampires!?" Captain Rockefeller obviously grasped the point.

At this moment, a strange horn sounded in the mist, as if some creature was wailing before dying, with a sense of twilight and strange desolation.

"Run! Run! Go forward and don't stop!" the witcher shouted, urging everyone.

The survivors became tense, and everyone could hear the sense of urgency in the witcher's words, and everyone began to squeeze their little physical strength desperately, trying to speed up.

Xu Yichen approached Sir and asked what was approaching. The witcher didn't have time to explain in a hurry, but simply replied: "It's not the worst kind."

"If you are caught up, these mortals can't escape, you and I can only fight to the death." Handing Xu Yichen a short sword from the sailor, the witcher urged.

Intermittent horn sounds sounded from all directions, and they persevered in chasing the team of survivors. Everyone tried their best to keep from falling behind. The youngest Sildo was on the back of the white wolf, looking around anxiously, with a pair of His eyes were wide open, and he felt that the guarded mist was churning and twisting, and it seemed that monsters would come out of the mist at any moment.

Xu Yichen could feel a strong sense of uneasiness rising from the bottom of his heart. The sound of his heartbeat filled his ears like a drum of war. The witcher relieved him of the pressure by pushing on his back.

Running non-stop, I don’t know how long it lasted. The guard who injured his knee was the first to be unable to hold on. Although Ted and another strong sailor kept driving him forward, he still inevitably slowed down the entire team. speed.

"Give me up, I'm out of strength!" The guard struggled to shake off Ted's help.

"What are you talking about! I can't throw you here, we didn't die in the orc camp, how could we fall down on the way home?!" Ted roared, resisting the guards. On the shoulders, he continued to run forward involuntarily.

The captain sighed, and helped to support the body of the guard from behind. Everyone knew that Ted would not last long, and Sildo was riding on the back of the white wolf, clenching his teeth, not knowing what to say.

A disgusting feeling told Xu Yichen in his perception that the front right was dangerous! Death is already waiting!

"Danger!" Xu Yichen warned loudly, then pointed to the left: "Go over there!"

The witcher thought quickly, and firmly believed Xu Yichen's words: "Go to the other side!"

The survivors, who had lost their ability to judge, turned around the stream and fled in another direction under the command of the witcher without hesitation.

The shadows of the night shrouded the forest, and against the background of the mist, the tall trees were like arms with claws and claws, pressing towards them from all around, trying to hold them tightly and stay in this jungle forever.

The speed of the survivor who lost a lot of physical strength during the run began to slow down. Ted's eyes were red, and he was relying entirely on willpower to hold on. Now he has lost the power to speak, and every step seems to be the last step in his life Finally, Taylor tripped over a raised stone and fell to the ground. The wounded who also fell to the ground patted him on the back vigorously, took out a necklace from his arms and handed it to Ted. clear.

"No! I can still..." Ted struggled to get up, but his trembling legs told everyone that this was an impossible task.

"Shut up!" the witcher shouted in a low voice, "I heard the sound of hooves ahead!"
