Under the dark night sky, the sound of waves can be heard endlessly, and the battle on the beach has come to an end.
A young man in a hunting suit with a single ponytail, the sword in his hand was stained with blood.
Not far away, a huge sahuagin corpse had fallen unwillingly in the narrow rocky passage. Its dark black fish eyes were wide open. The huge wound at the joint between the fish's head and body proved the end of the attack just now.
How violent.
"The shadow ambush was launched, and the "steel long sword" successfully hit the target."
"Swordsmanship: Heavy Slash is activated."
"The vital attack is successful, causing 21 (+5) points of damage to the target, with additional bleeding and fatal effects."
"Target dies."
"You successfully killed the Sahuagin (variant) and gained 175 experience points."
Woody saw the data flashing across his retinas, and then he boldly moved forward to approach the dead sahuagin corpse.
In addition to the particularly eye-catching long sword on the head of the corpse, the four eye-catching arms of the sahuagin (variant) have also become incomplete. Either a claw is missing, or it is broken at the elbow.
After the death of the four arms, only one was still intact - they were all the masterpieces of his sneak attack just now.
Woody didn't feel despicable at all, and he couldn't control so much.
The four-armed sahuagin before his eyes showed astonishing destructive power and blood volume.
Obviously, the sword strike just now was enough to kill an ordinary sahuagin in an instant, but it could still endure the bleeding forehead and become more courageous as it fought, otherwise it would not have done so.
Frontal attack? That's what only a fool would do.
Even the most inflexible and pedantic paladin knows that when faced with this kind of indiscriminate attacking creature, the correct solution is to avoid its sharp edges.
If Woody hadn't been cautious enough, it's still unclear who would win in the end.
"Experience value: 571 points."
Woody glanced at the scrolling data on his retina, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, his efforts were not in vain. He would have enough experience to upgrade if he tried again.
Now he can no longer continue fighting.
The weak state after the effect of the potion faded has gradually emerged, making his originally round face become a little thinner.
However, this makes Woody's original face appear a little more mature than his age, and a little less immature.
In addition, Woody is now wearing a fitted hunting suit made of palm leather, slender breeches, and close-fitting clothing that make him stand out. The boy's heroic spirit is clearly revealed when he cleans the steel sword.
Under the night sky, Woody now became more like a warrior, instead of a helpless aristocratic boy.
Unfortunately, in order to avoid the impact of the battle, the ponytail was tied up with a band, exposing the dense soybean-sized bumps on the back of the neck...
Woody was disgusted by the sight, but he knew that this curse would never disappear on its own until he completely killed the caster.
With it, Woody can't do many risky things, because the price of injury means proliferation.
But it will be soon...
Woody looked at the progress bar of experience points. There were two unopened bottles of "Cockatrice's Wrath" left in his waist, and he looked up at the hazy night.
Close your eyes and carefully feel the strength in your body that has hit rock bottom and gradually recovers.
When he was able to move a little and had enough strength, Woody began to search the battlefield that was not yet completed.
There is still plenty of time.
This beach under the cliff is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Basically no one comes here. Except for the turtles that occasionally come up to lay their eggs, it can be said to be an excellent place to attract monsters without worrying about being discovered.
In addition to the tongue and gills, which can be used as medicine and magic potions, the most valuable thing about a sahuagin is the fish bubble that contains the source of the sahuagin and can be used to make underwater breathing potions. It can be sold for 2 on the black market.
The high price of a gold coin, plus two other things.
The average profit that a sahuagin corpse brings to Woody is more than three gold, so there are at least twenty gold here.
He skillfully cut off the corpse's small cheeks and about 30 centimeters long gray-white tongue, which had lost its former bright red color after the owner's death. Then he used a long-edged dagger to dig into the belly and took out a fist-sized piece of internal organs from a pile of internal organs.
Fish bubble.
After putting these three items into the cloth bag he brought, even he had to be careful in the early stage.
Not to mention moving all the corpses back, at least some of the best-selling monster materials must be kept.
What's more, sahuagin gills are the main material for making the alchemical potion "The Drowning Man's Lament".
If he plans to go sailing in the future, this bottle of potion will be essential in the early stage. It is much cheaper than the underwater breathing potion.
"The Lament of the Drowned"
"Effect: After taking it, a web-like transparent film will grow between the fingers and toes of the demon hunter, and the lung capacity will be improved. It will gain a +5 judgment value in terms of swimming speed and underwater breath holding."
"What does it feel like to drown? Your head explodes? Your lungs burn? Your skin swells? Your body becomes weak? No! None. With it, you can punch down the person who asked this question! Demon Hunter
Never drown!——"The Demon Hunter's Companion""
Cleaning up loot is tedious, these sahuagin are poor after all!
They actively go out to hunt. Apart from weapons, they rarely carry any treasures with them. Unless they are spell casters, sahuagins from professions such as priests, shamans, and warlocks may drop some valuable items.
But currently Woody has nothing to do with the spell caster.
Not to mention anything else, the directional zero-level spell magic missile can make him walk around without food.
However, when Woody was cleaning up the battlefield, he always felt that something was wrong, that he seemed to have missed something.
This feeling of irritability was hard for him to accept, but just when Woody opened the data panel to think about it and see if the relevant skill points had been increased in the battle just now.
When he saw the azure "professional skills" and the target spirit hunting oath being "extraordinary", he finally remembered what he had forgotten.
contract.
It is an exclusive contract for demon hunters and is also one of the important links for demon hunters to enter the third level.
He had forgotten about this. Fortunately, the sahuagin's soul probably hadn't left the body yet and headed to the River Styx.
Otherwise, by then, his oath will inevitably fail.
After all, if you want to get something from nature, you have to give something.
The demon hunter has the recognition of natural will, which is equivalent to holding a certificate to work, so the soul of the person he kills can be regarded as part of the ritual oath.
The ceremony is also very simple. You only need to place the offerings in front of the shrine with the nature or wilderness logo, and then pray with your heart, and you will receive a natural gift.
Nature and wilderness are both products of belief, and Woody was already familiar with the outline and rough manufacturing methods in his previous life.
Soon, Woody built a simple natural shrine with an outline made of stones and a pattern drawn with sahuagin human blood.
Woody placed the strongest sahuagin corpse under the shrine.
Then the first spirit-hunting oath in this life began.
