"Okay, now take us to the mine where the haunting happened!"
After seeing the magic of John's magic, the two guides were no longer so timid.
"It's my lord!"
Led by two guides who were excited by the spell, the group moved forward quickly and soon approached the target area.
The old miner pointed forward and said respectfully to John:
"Sir, the place ahead is where the incident happened."
Everyone looked up and saw that in front of them was a mine transfer section that was as wide as the bottom of a gourd. On the opposite side were three narrower branch entrances to the mine. It was so dark inside that even the light from the torches in the hands of a few people could not shine.
There is no darkness there.
After awakening his own bloodline, John already has dim vision that allows him to see in the dark. As long as there is a little light, he can see the general situation. And if he transforms into the wild transformation form, he will also have the ability of dark vision.
, you can see things even in a completely dark state.
Of course, with the residual light of the torch, his dim vision was enough for him to see clearly ahead, so naturally there was no need to expose his wild transformation ability.
John looked back at Salvatore, only to see that the other person's pupils seemed to have turned into cat-like shapes in the dark, and he was also staring ahead. Apparently he also had the ability to see in the dark. He thought that this detective was a witcher, and most
Monsters and aberrations like to lurk in the dark, so as a profession that specifically targets aberrations and dark creatures other than humans, it is not surprising that the demon hunter will also have corresponding abilities.
"John Knight, I have smelled the smell of monsters. It should be ghouls, but there seems to be other smells, but they are very thin and I can't distinguish anything yet."
John laughed after hearing what he said:
"It turns out they are ghouls, so what are we waiting for? Let's destroy these undead monsters that go against nature!"
Ghouls are common low-level undead creatures that often appear in cemeteries, battlefields, or other places full of dead bodies. These terrifying monsters will hide in the darkness and use the surrounding environment to cover up their own corpse odor, making attacks impossible.
Creatures to be wary of.
John learned about it from Arthur and his teacher, and knew that the general capabilities of this thing were basically the same as the settings in the previous game.
According to the settings in the game, ghouls are only undead monsters with a challenge level of 1. It is rumored that they are undead creatures transformed from human corpses, so they like the taste of human flesh and blood the most, and they will also maintain the ability to speak during their lifetime.
A certain amount of wisdom.
However, in addition to its infection ability and beast-like attack ability, the most terrifying thing about this low-level undead creature is its ability to paralyze creatures that come into contact with it. However, for professionals like John and others, it is not a powerful role. Try to minimize contact.
That is, given the disgusting appearance and smell of ghouls, no normal person would want to come into contact with them anyway.
So everyone didn't pay much attention to it. There were three official extraordinary people present, and these little monsters could be easily dealt with even if they came to fight.
Only the two guides were afraid of this, especially when the witcher followed the smell and walked into one of the branch roads, and then the smell of corpses became more and more obvious. As for the dark man-eating mine ahead, let
The two guides, who were ordinary people, couldn't help but tremble.
The effects of spells that increase resistance cannot avoid mortals' fear of the unknown and death. Of course, the disgusting smell of corpses in the environment is also an inducement.
"Brandon, you are on the last alert. Ghouls like to make sneak attacks, although I don't think any ghoul can escape Detective Salvatore's nose."
"Yes, Master!"
John simply arranged the two guides behind him, John Salvatore, the demon hunter, to clear the way, and Brandon to guard the rear.
Although John doesn't care about the life or death of these two people, they are two lives after all. Although he is not a Virgin with the moral concepts of two worlds, he does not want to see innocent people die in front of him.
The monsters in the mines are more restless than everyone imagined. However, although the ghouls retain some of their wisdom in life, they are not as smart as truly intelligent beings. At most, they are just a little cunning.
With two puffs, two monsters that looked like skinned beasts and had some human characteristics just jumped out of the darkness, and were cut into four pieces by the demon hunter's two swords.
If replaced by ordinary weapons, perhaps as undead creatures, these ghouls can continue to attack even if only half of their bodies are left, or even put them back together and recover.
But John Salvatore used his own silver sword decorated with runes. This alchemical magic sword was an extraordinary weapon specially designed to target dark creatures. The two ghouls quickly lost their vitality.
Seeing Salvatore letting the monster breathe and pulling out a sharp knife as if to dismember the monster, John couldn't help the stench lingering on the tip of his nose and said:
"Salvatore, what are you doing?"
John Salvatore turned back to his employer and explained:
"Knight John, I am going to take out the sinews and heart of the ghoul. These are alchemy materials that wizards like. Each one is worth two or three gold pounds."
Ghoul tendons and ghoul hearts are indeed common alchemical materials.
Although John knows little about real alchemy, he has experience in the plague world and is Klaus's experimental assistant. He can still refine some low-level ordinary potions. He has heard about the alchemist circle and knows all the alchemical materials.
It was valuable and often in short supply. But this stuff was so disgusting, he didn't want to drink these refined potions.
Is it really hard for you to kill such a disgusting monster?
John looked at the two corpses lying on the ground, which looked like lickers in a certain biochemical game. He couldn't stand the sight and smell, so he waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I will compensate you in the entrustment reward later. For now, let's investigate where the missing miners are..."
John Salvatore immediately put down his knife when he heard this.
If it weren't for lack of money, who would dissect such a disgusting thing?
So the silver sword in his hand struck the two ghouls at their hearts and sent them to the underworld.
His heart was shattered by the extraordinary weapon, and the two ghouls immediately turned their bodies into dry black ashes.
After losing the source of pollution, the smell in the mine suddenly dropped to a lower level. John, who had also increased his resistance, felt much better.
Speaking of which, he has been pampered and pampered for more than 20 years, and his gentlemanly demeanor has been deeply cultivated in his bones. He is really not used to this situation.
The group of people continued to move deeper into the mine. Although there were still traces of ghoul activity here, the source of pollution was lost and the air smell was naturally much better.
During the process, they found some bloody clothing fragments, which two guides confirmed seemed to be miners' clothing, which also showed that the missing person they were looking for was probably in danger.
Soon the five people came to the end of the mine. Except for some mutilated bone residues, they did not find any signs of strangers. John no longer had any hope. Just when he wanted to return, he suddenly felt a strong
I tried to sense it carefully, but it disappeared quickly.
"This is?"
John couldn't help but stop and watch in front of the stone wall at the end of the mine that the miners had just dug.
