God-level Demon Hunter

Roy smiled happily. This guy is somewhat similar to an endangered animal protector named Dorrigaray.

The demon hunter is very interested in the rare animal breeding park he said, because rare animals mean experience and mounts.

If you make friends with the other party, you may be able to go and see it in the future.

"I have very little knowledge, so I can only chat a few words. Please be more specific first, what kind of underwater creatures do you want to search for?"

Linus rubbed his hands together.

"It is rumored that this kind of mysterious underwater ghost haunts the watershed east of the Pontal River, the waterway from Foam City to Novigrad. They will occasionally attack the passing ships there."

"It's a pity that this year is the same as previous years. No valuable clues were found there. We can only change another river and come to the Yaruga River in the south to see if there are any traces of them near the mouth of the sea."

"Mysterious underwater creatures attacking the shipping ship?" Roy turned his mind, recalling what Serrit had taught, "If you say that, I really have a clue."

"Oh," Linus asked excitedly, "you've seen it..."

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of a mysterious underwater creature in the nearby watershed. According to the habits of demon hunters, that thing should be called a dragon lice."

Linus was taken aback when he heard the words, "Can you describe it in more scientific and systematic terms?"

"I mean a lumpy, rough-skinned monster a good four yards long, looking like an algae-stumped stump, with ten claws and teeth like a circular saw."

Linus suddenly realized, "It does look like a type of insect in the family Dracidae."

"You agree too?" Roy said, "This creature is extremely vicious and will eat all creatures that invade its habitat."

"Wait, let's not discuss here for now. Is there something wrong with your Excellency?" Linus said sternly, "The salinity of the Yaruga River is not suitable for the survival of the dragonfly."

"It's not dragon lice, so what is it?"

"Have you ever heard of a giant octopus the size of a hill?" The Niubao scholar suddenly approached the demon hunter mysteriously, "It is rumored that this creature can adapt to fresh water and sea water, and it can survive in several main rivers and rivers on land. Cruising back and forth between oceans."

"Giant octopus?" Of course, the demon hunter has an impression. He killed that thing in his acting experience in his previous life, but isn't the giant octopus a floating port sleeping in the Pontar Valley?

"I think those who attacked the cargo ship were its cubs! But first you have to see for yourself!"

……

"what!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream from a woman came from not far away, and the conversation between the two was interrupted. When they turned around, they saw a middle-aged woman lying on the side of the boat, her face full of horror and despair.

"Calm down, lady, what happened?!"

Everyone surrounded the past.

"My son, my little Bruce..." the woman wailed and pointed to the rough river, "he fell, he fell into the water. Please, save him, save Bruce!"

"Not right."

The witcher looked through the crowd—that little guy, he had a little impression, was about as high as the railing beside the boat, how could he fall?

The vast river, the thin boy...

The crowd shook their heads pityingly,

"Hopeless……"

"poor child……"

"Sorry, ma'am."

At this time, a rough man with a full beard made a gesture to the sailors on the boat, tied a hemp rope around his waist, and jumped into the river without saying a word.

"Plop" a few waves splashed, completely submerging his figure.

Roy couldn't help giving the man a thumbs up, and withdrew the Lake Lady's sword.

He stood beside the boat with everyone holding his breath and staring at the water waves. The sailors controlled the barge to stay in place as much as possible. The child's mother clasped her hands and prayed urgently...

Chapter 15 Capture

"Gollum, Gollum..."

A huge bubble like a glass cover bubbled out of the water, and then a faint spray of blood spread rapidly to the surroundings like red ink.

"Blood! How could there be blood?"

Everyone on the boat was terrified, suddenly a pale arm with thick body hair broke through the water, grabbed the rope on the side of the barge, and the head of the big man who had entered the water before popped out.

"Adonis, are you injured!?"

"There's...something in the water."

The big man raised his face and said intermittently,

"...Catch...save him first." His facial features wrinkled into a ball in extreme pain, and then he lifted his other hand out of the water with difficulty——

"Bru!" The big man put his other hand around the waist of the thin boy impressively.

At this time, the boy's face was pale, covered with green algae, curled up like a boiled prawn.

Seeing this, the desperate mother hung half of her body over the side of the boat without hesitation, and then dragged the boy onto the boat with everyone's concerted efforts, "Doctor, is there a doctor, save my child! He Not breathing!"

……

"Strong! Everyone, pull up Adonis!"

The sailors desperately grabbed the hemp rope wrapped around the big man's waist, while the other hugged his arms and slowly pulled the weak man out of the water. Soon, his body was suspended between the boat and the water, his waist and back Several dark red strangulation marks and a circle of circular bite wounds were exposed in front of everyone.

"What the hell is in the water?"

"Don't talk nonsense, come on, give me strength."

No sign!

The surface of the river suddenly boiled, and two long and sucker-covered tentacles stretched out, as thick as an adult's arm.

Under the horrified eyes of the sailors, two tentacles wrapped around the shoulders of the big man and pulled him down.

At the same time, there was a muffled sound like a baby weeping from the water, and countless white waves appeared on the water surface, as if a pump was constantly beating the water surface.

The demon hunter stared at the tentacles, his dark golden eyes became deep——

"Linus Pete, what a crow's mouth! This thing must have something to do with the sleeping giant octopus at the floating port!"

Roy sighed secretly, and pulled out Arondette.

At this time, almost all bystanders were frightened and dumbfounded.

The sailor was no exception, he couldn't help but loosen his grip, and the big man's body was instantly pulled halfway down by the creatures in the water.

However, the good psychological qualities cultivated by long-term work on the water made them wake up quickly, and immediately stopped the momentum of the big man's fall, and used all their strength to compete with the monsters in the water.

The poor man was caught in the middle and became the target of both sides wrestling. Under the action of the two, his face turned red and he couldn't breathe.

But he still didn't howl, his eyes were round and his teeth were bleeding.

The demon hunter no longer cared about revealing his identity, grabbed the rope by the side of the boat with one hand, and swung in the air like a swing. Arondite dragged a wonderful red light in his hand, and passed the monster's forelegs.

All the sailors felt that the strength of resistance in their hands disappeared in an instant, but the two tentacles of the monster wrestling with them were cut off and fell into the river.

The bright red blood splashed from the severed limb, and the monster let out a "beep" cry and got into the water.

The sailors successfully pulled the big man onto the boat.

"Cough...cough..." The big man lay weakly on the boat, took a sip of strong wine to repel the cold, and then showed a grateful smile to the witcher.

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Demon hunter..." Linus strode over and said loudly to the crowd, "Your Excellency is a demon hunter, with him, the monsters in the water are not to be feared!"

"No wonder, the skill is so superb!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the people on the boat, and the fear of seeing the monster for the first time dissipated a little.

"Demon hunter, do me a favor and kill this beast!"

The little boy on the other side woke up after being rescued, only showing a pair of eyes full of fear, and hid tightly in the woman's arms like a small animal.

"Heal your wounds first, and wait for me to deal with this monster."

As the witcher spoke, he blinked at Ciri, who was full of surprise in the distance.However, compared to the surprise of Her Royal Highness, Clause, the leader of the round-faced maids and soldiers, looked at the witcher less friendly.

"Demon hunter, are you following us?!"

"The situation is urgent, I will explain later."

Roy went straight to the side of the ship to observe.

On the surface of the water not far from the barge, a fusiform water wave trailed the barge not too far away.Everyone followed his gaze and saw the faint oval monster under the tentacles, and couldn't help but get scared.

Obviously, the injured octopus did not flee, nor approached rashly.

Demon hunters understand that this creature is extremely vengeful, like a mad dog, and will never let anyone who offends it go.

And as a mollusc, breaking two tentacles would not do much harm to it.

"Get rid of all evil..."

Roy borrowed a harpoon attached to a rope from the crew and dumped a vial of paralyzing poison straight up.

Then, amidst a bunch of strange gazes, he raised the harpoon over his shoulder and aimed at the moving shadow under the murky water.

To be honest, he hadn't used this thing before, but his extraordinary agility, strength and perception allowed him to quickly adjust his state and find the best touch.

Eliminating the complicated disturbances around him and opening up the witcher's senses, he felt the howling wind, the rushing water, the moving barge and the wandering octopus.

Time seemed to stand still.

The whipping tentacles under the water were magnified to the extreme in the field of vision.

"Whoosh—" There was an ear-piercing piercing sound, and no one could see the demon hunter's movements clearly, only a very faint phantom passed by in the field of vision.

"Pfft!"

Splashes splashed on the water in the distance, and the swiftly moving ripples trembled suddenly. Half of the octopus was supported by a slender harpoon, spinning and circling in the water, struggling desperately.

Blood mist filled the turbid spray.

It didn't take long for the paralyzing poison to take effect, and it stopped struggling, turned over on its stomach like a spherical water bag, and was dragged by the barge.

The sailors tightened the ropes and dragged the monster onto the deck.

This evil beast domineering under the water finally reveals its full appearance in front of the world!

"Look, what a tenacious vitality!" Linus squeezed through the crowd, stretched out his hand and touched the calf-sized monster, his thin cheeks blushed with excitement, "The powerful tentacles on the abdomen... I'm sure it was these tentacles that dragged the boy into the water. Fist-sized suction cups, big mouths like chrysanthemums, and messy sawtooths..."

"Be careful, it's still alive!"

The witcher squatted down and patted the octopus monster's wriggling tentacles like a nerve reflex.

"Mutated animals..."

He came to a conclusion.

The onlookers looked at it with terrified eyes, and subconsciously backed away.
