The fighting between demons and demon hunters became increasingly fierce, and the fighting situation can be described as tragic.
The vitality of both sides was surprisingly strong, and they were not afraid of being injured. They were both accustomed to trading injuries for injuries. As a result, the bystanders only saw the flash of swords and whip shadows, flesh and blood flying everywhere, the tentacles of the demon monster were cut off by sharp blades, and a female hunter's
Half of her pretty face was beaten and torn, and even an eyeball hung out of its socket. However, she stuffed the broken eyeball that was sprouting with granulation back into place and continued fighting as if nothing had happened.
Normal people will feel scared after seeing such a bloody scene, not to mention the abyss demons have a strong sense of oppression and aggression towards natural life.
It is like a big source of pollution. With the terrifying howls, the abyssal aura radiates in all directions. Any half-elf who is close to the battlefield will feel uncomfortable, even Harvey, whose mind has been modified, is no exception.
"Sir, you said they are going to fight to the death here, then should we take the opportunity to escape?" Harvey asked worriedly.
Victor's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and then asked without answering: "You said those adventurers were killed by monsters and many of their companions were killed. Why didn't they escape and still follow behind?"
"There's nothing surprising about that."
Harvey suppressed his voice and said matter-of-factly: "Adventurers are a group of guys who are willing to take risks for the sake of wealth. I guess they saw someone who could fight with monsters and wondered if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters... They could wait for the monsters and bounty hunters to come together.
If you are defeated and injured, you will come out to look for the mayor's treasure. The mayor has run Water Snake Town for so many years, and his treasure must be considerable. If this vote is made, all adventurers can retire... Well, if the bounty hunter fights
If the monster dies and the monster is seriously injured, they may be able to rush out and kill the monster, avenge their companions who died tragically before, and then look for the treasure again."
Finally, Harvey added, "We used to do this when we were adventurers!"
Normal people cannot be adventurers, and adventurers are not normal people. This kind of job with extremely high mortality rate can only be done by those who are brave, aggressive, cunning and cunning. When faced with danger, they will not immediately think of escaping, but
Want to see if there are any opportunities to gain benefits.
In short, a bold person can maintain a strong fighting spirit in desperate situations. This is a prerequisite for being an adventurer. As for personal force, that is secondary.
Therefore, qualified adventurers can effectively resist the negative effects of abyss aura by virtue of their inner bravery and higher willpower than ordinary people.
Victor and Harvey were of course less affected. Their tenacity was almost a natural talent, and they had a high immunity to the aura of the abyss. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable at first, but they quickly got used to it.
This may be because the abyss demon in front of you is not strong enough, or its malice is not directed at any one person in particular.
Since the demon hunter and the demon were fighting to the death here, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and there was nothing left to worry about. Victor wanted to stay and see the situation before making any plans.
The Life Distortion Potion has an extraordinary appeal to him. Even if some big forces are involved and there may be all kinds of troubles in the future, he wants to try to seize it.
"Did you see those barrels on the ground?" Victor pointed to the three wooden barrels next to the small trailer and said to Harvey: "The potion inside is very important. If there is a chance, we must find a way to take it away."
Harvey looked over and said: "The barrels are not big, but if we take them all away, we have to use the hand truck to tow them, and then we will move slowly."
Victor felt that Harvey was right, so he lowered his requirements and said: "Bring as much as you can, even if you can only bring one bucket, that's fine."
While observing the two warring parties, Harvey nodded and responded: "Okay! I think the white-haired boy Rhine and the three women are also monsters. It would be best if they all died!"
The female hunter's tactics were effective and her coordination was skillful, making it difficult for the monster to resist. As the injuries accumulated, it gradually fell into a disadvantage in the fight. However, as the bone spur tentacles on its back were cut off one by one, the monster's attack on the female hunter became more difficult.
But the pressure keeps increasing. Its power becomes stronger, its attack speed becomes faster, and it becomes more and more brave as it fights.
This is because the monster's appearance has changed, from crawling on all fours to moving upright. The muscles of its lower limbs are knotted and thick enough to support the weight of the whole body; its upper limbs have become longer, and the muscles have contracted and tightened, making it appear extremely
It is so strong that it can actually withstand the slashing of the female hunter's blade head-on. It only makes a dull "bang bang" sound without being injured. Its last bone spur tentacle acts as a tail behind it, giving the monster better balance and helping it to free itself.
The pair of sharp claws on its upper limbs are used for attack or defense, and also greatly increase its agility.
In addition, the monster's original half-elf male facial features are almost gone.
Three new curved horns grew on its head, its snout became protruding, and it was equipped with a mouth full of fangs. It looked like an abyss demon, and there was also the shadow of a half-elf?
On the contrary, Victor felt that this form of demon was more pleasing to the eye than the monster with a half-elf face.
Demons are supposed to have an inhuman appearance. However, the monster with a half-elf male face is extremely uncoordinated, showing some pain and awkwardness.
This feeling was like Victor watching a half-elf fall into a swamp, his face embedded in the mud, unable to struggle, and irreversible, until he was completely swallowed by the swamp.
Suddenly, Victor understood that this monster was originally the village chief of Oxtail Village, and the potion it prayed to the mayor of Water Snake Town might be the secret potion that could help him restore his half-elf form.
If it completely loses its half-elf characteristics, something terrible and tragic will happen.
In any case, the demon monster's combat power has been greatly improved. The muscles of its whole body are tightened and it can actually resist the slashing and stabbing of the female hunter. The demon monster uses claw strikes and tail sweeps to attack, actually changing the previous decline and gradually becoming more and more powerful.
Gain the upper hand in the battle.
The three female hunters cooperated with each other and were able to cope with the monster's fierce counterattack for the time being, but the encirclement they formed obviously expanded a lot.
The strong pressure from monsters forces the female hunters to undergo certain distortions, thus releasing more abilities.
The most obvious change is the eyes. The huntress's sclera changed from pure white at first to dirty black, while the pupils became as red as blood. They were exactly the same as the eyes of the demon monster, both black eyes and red pupils!
No wonder Harvey regards the witchers as monsters and hopes that they will die together with the monsters in the battle.
Victor is thinking about another question. Flesh distortion can enhance the abilities of monsters and demons. Will excessive distortion lead to irreversible consequences?
If this hypothesis is true, it is equivalent to the existence of a certain critical point. Once the critical point is reached, the current situation will immediately change!
The female witcher holding a spear was forced back by the devil with her tail. She turned to look at Rhine and suddenly said: "Master, the devil has begun to turn evil!"
She was obviously reminding Rhine to make an idea as soon as possible. However, the moment the witcher opened her mouth, Victor saw clearly that the neat teeth in her mouth were falling off one after another, and then there were sharp teeth sticking out.
This means that the female witcher has a higher degree of distortion!
Rhine, who was originally on guard next to him, looked particularly solemn at this moment. He gripped the giant sword tightly, frowned and looked at the cave on the left, and then looked at the shadow on the right, where Victor and Harvey were lurking.
"Why don't you take action, the white-haired boy? Come on, come up and fight!" Harvey, whose eyesight was not as good as Victor's, complained through gritted teeth, but did not see the hesitation on Rhine's expression.
Victor had excellent eyesight. He could see Rhine's entanglement and embarrassment even from a distance of more than a hundred meters in an underground cave with poor lighting. At this moment, he realized that the witcher could give up the hunt and choose to evacuate, leaving a powerful person behind.
The monsters are left to onlookers.
No, the onlookers with ulterior motives should be left to the abyss demon who is at the critical point of distortion!
White-haired Rhine may have a trump card to deal with the demons in the abyss, but the problem is that besides the demons, there are also a group of outsiders with ulterior motives hidden here. Rhine must think carefully before making the final decision.
On the other hand, in order to cope with the demon hunter's attack, the demon has changed from lying on all fours to walking upright, thereby freeing up his arms, strengthening the defense on both sides of his body, and diversifying his attack methods.
However, it moves slower.
Four-legged beasts can run much more easily than two-legged humanoids.
Before, Victor discovered that Harvey couldn't catch up with the four-legged demon monster even if he ran with all his strength, and the moving speed of the witchers was second only to the demon monster. But now the situation has changed. The witchers want to go, and the two-legged monsters
The demon monster cannot catch up; Harvey also has a high chance of getting rid of the demon monster, because that group of adventurers is the slowest. If the demon really wants to chase the half-elf, it will chase the adventurers slower than Harvey first.
In this case, Victor no longer had any worries. He immediately stood up from the shadow where he was hiding and said loudly: "Rhine! If you need help, we can help you deal with this monster!"
Harvey didn't know what Victor wanted to do, but he came to his master's side without any hesitation and looked to him as his leader.
The white-haired Rhine looked over with cold eyes. Although Victor said something nice, his feet did not move and he stood firmly in place. One look showed that he did not really want to help at all.
"But..." Victor paused and continued to speak loudly: "There are eleven people hiding on the other side. I don't know whether they are enemies or friends... So, I advise you to run away quickly.
, if you can run away now."
This sentence has reached Rhine's heart. The monster in front of him is more difficult than he expected. He actually forced the three female hunters to release the second level of evil power, but they still couldn't take it down. You know, in terms of combat power alone, the third level is
Each of the female hunters is much more powerful than Rhine. If they continue to release the evil power, the cost will be huge, and it is hard to say whether they can return to normal in the future.
Of course, Rhine does possess some powerful secret skills for dealing with demons, but the conditions for releasing them are quite stringent, and there must be no interference from foreign enemies during the process.
From the looks of Victor and Harvey, it was clear that they were not prepared to help at all, and the other group of adventurers were also sneaky. From this, Rhine judged that he could give up the hunt.
Although an evil ancestral monster would bring disaster to the residents of Water Snake Town, even if he risked his own life and that of his companions, it would not help. It was better to save himself first and then think of other ways.
.
Rhine kindly reminded Victor and also reminded another group of adventurers: "This monster has begun to turn evil. It is about to suffer from thirst and blood thirst. It can only survive by sucking the blood of half-elves. If we give up the siege now
Monsters, choose to evacuate, can you run away?"
As far as movement speed is concerned, Victor, who has the blessing of wind movement talent, is more confident than everyone present and this demon. The wind movement talent can even bring Harvey with him, which also greatly increases his movement speed.
Victor laughed and said loudly: "As long as I am not the slowest one! I guess you are not the slowest either."
The noise of the battle between demons and demon hunters was very loud, but it could not cover up the shouts of Victor and Rhine, at least it could be heard by professionals with keen hearing.
Sure enough, the adventurers who were peeping in the dark finally couldn't hide anymore, and a loud voice came, "We don't have to run fast, we just need to kill this monster!"
Afterwards, ten vigorous figures formed a tight formation with both offense and defense and walked out quickly. Their equipment was very well-equipped, with four shield guards at the front, wearing a full set of hard leather armor with a mail chest protector, holding a large fine iron shield and a
The one-handed heavy ax is completely dressed as a heavy infantryman.
Behind the shield guard are three professional swordsmen, wearing full-body leather armor and holding long-handled axes, also known as two-handed halberds. They are heavy weapons and are full of lethality.
The four archers were scattered in a fan shape, walking at the end of the team, carrying bows, quivers on their backs, and two swords hanging on their waists. Each of them had a gaze as sharp as an eagle.
The shield guards are in the front row responsible for protecting their comrades and breaking through the formation; the professional swordsmen put pressure on the enemy, wait for opportunities, find the enemy's weaknesses, and then kill them with one blow; the archers support their teammates with bows and arrows in the rear to assist in the attack.
, defense, and can also cover retreat.
The personal strength of half-elf adventurers is not as good as that of barbarian raiders, and their numbers are not as good as that of orc bone collectors. The reason why they can gain a foothold in adventure activities is that they rely on well-trained training, well-equipped equipment, and most importantly, tactics.
Collaboration. What's more, the four shield guards in this group of adventurers are exceptionally tall and burly, walking with a faint sense of power, and their eyes are all yellow vertical pupils.
Victor repeatedly confirmed the strangeness of the Shield Guard, looked shocked, and whispered: "It's a dragoon!"
