Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"Not good, not good at all." The twenty-five-year-old man suddenly screamed, "It's too scary! Those tentacle monsters are too scary! I definitely don't want to go back to that place! They actually call that kind of thing a god!" ? It's just sick... ahhh!"

"This, this hunter is really embarrassing!"

Seeing this guy actually hugging his trouser legs and wiping his snot on his pants, Yi Guang cursed secretly, and then kicked the guy aside without hesitation.And after the boy rolled on the ground twice, he lay down straight on the ground, his upright body reminded Yi Guang of salted fish.

"So, how can we break this time point?" Estes frowned and asked, "There must be a reason for this phenomenon, right?"

"I don't know about this either. After all, I'm just an ordinary old woman. If you want to trace the roots, go to Church Town and find the way to 'Bilkingworth'." The old woman said, "The town's The secrets, the secrets of this dream, are all in that abandoned academy. Those people opened the forbidden knowledge of the superiors, so there must be records of these things there."

"Belkinworth? Is it the academy of the alchemists who first studied the blood of the ancient gods?" Yi Guang thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Chapter 354 The Blocked Church

According to the instructions of the old nun in the church, Yi Guang and the others began to search for the cause of the "backtracking in time" in the dream.However, because the old lady doesn't know much, so if they want to find the clues, they have to go to the research institute where the first batch of scholars who started to study the secrets of the ancient gods gathered a long time ago, Baier Kingworth College.

"But long, long ago, Byrgenworth was abandoned. Not only the college itself was abandoned, but the road leading to the forest where the college was located was also completely blocked by the Church of Healing, which is now called ' Forbidden Forest'." The old mama's words sounded in her ears, old and weak.

"Blocked?" Estes pointed out a problem, "If your so-called sect blocked the way to that academy, and then the academy itself was abandoned, then maybe all the secrets have been blocked. Did the people of the church get destroyed, or did they take it for themselves?"

After hearing these words, Yi Guang and the second-five-year-old hunter who approached with a sullen face also nodded.Indeed, according to common sense, if that academy really has any secrets, it might be taken away by the Church of Healing, right?

"I don't know, this is something you powerful hunters are going to find out, I'm just telling what I know." The old nun sighed softly, "Anyway, you are going to the church town anyway. Yes, because at present the only way that can fully lead to there is within the church."

Therefore, Yi Guang had no choice but to take Estes to the church town, followed by a skinless and shameless boy.

"Brother, please me! If I go on the road alone, I will definitely die again and return to the dreamland to be resurrected." The hunter, who covered his face as always, hugged Yi Guang's thigh and said in a sad tone, " I really don't want to see that tentacle monster again!"

"Damn it! Don't hug my leg, I can't walk anymore!" Yi Guang looked at this [-]-year-old with some pain.

"Brother doesn't take me, I won't let you go..." Erwuzi Hunter said very stubbornly, "I really don't want to go back to that ghostly place."

"You fucking stabbed me in the back before, do I still dare to take you?" Yi Guang said angrily, "Let me go, or I won't blame me for being cold-blooded and heartless!"

"No, absolutely not this time." Erwuzi expressed that he had reformed himself and would never be a Erwuzi again. run out."

According to this guy's intermittent description, it should be the system that fished this guy out of the "Hunter's Dreamland".After all, with the temper of the "Blood Princess of the Moon" and the current situation of being extremely weak and in need of "nutritional supplements", there should be no reason to release this product voluntarily.

[Yes, it was me, I fished him out.Although this guy is not a good product, but at least he has good talent and strength, which will be useful along the way.As for whether he will rebel again, with me here, I have already dealt with it. 】

The system confirmed Yi Guang's own judgment, and then said that there is no need to worry about this guy's betrayal.And when Yi Guang asked the system for verification, Esdes finally couldn't understand the behavior of the hunter, so he slapped him hard on the back of the head.The guy suddenly suffered from pain in his back. Although he didn't faint or get hurt because of the hunter's strengthened body, he still let out a scream and let go of his hand unconsciously.Esdeth had sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately pulled him up the moment he let go, and then threw him out.

"You guys are too disgusting, aren't you? Seeing that you are also a warrior, don't you actually have no bones at all?"

"Forget it, follow if you want." After receiving the guarantee from the system, Yi Guang looked at Er Wuzi, who was thrown out by Esdeth, turned a few somersaults on the ground and looked embarrassed, " But first let's say we don't guarantee your safety, and if you do something you shouldn't..."

Speaking of this, Yi Guang compared his hands and made a "click" movement on his neck.Then, a meaningful smile appeared on his face—"You understand what I mean?"

"I know, I know, I know that I am no longer enough to win the trust of you, big brother." Erwuzi hunter got up from the ground, then kept nodding, and gestured with both hands, "But it's okay, I am satisfied if you are willing to take me away Yes. In the next journey, I will show my strength and loyalty, I have really changed my mind!"

"I hope so." Seeing the exaggerated and funny body movements of the other party, Yi Guang sighed softly.

Therefore, Yi Guang and his party followed the guidance of the old nanny and headed towards the church town on the top of the mountain.

After coming out of the temporary shelter called "Uldun Chapel", Yi Guang immediately realized that something was wrong.The setting sun, which was still faintly glowing golden red before, could no longer be seen after Yi Guang left the chapel, and was replaced by a dark and eerie mist.Moreover, although Yi Guang's power was severely suppressed by the law of this dream, his eyes that could perceive the soul could still see the distorted shadow looming in the sky.Obviously, apart from the "Blood Princess of the Moon" hiding in the "Hunter's Dreamland" and peeking at this superficial dreamland, there are other ancient gods nearby, or the existence of similar ancient gods.And unlike the "Blood Princess of the Moon", the other party was very close to him and the others, as if hiding behind a certain wall, watching him and the others secretly.

"This feeling of being secretly observed is very uncomfortable."

Yi Guang looked around for a while, and then could only say these words helplessly.This time, after all, the event was held at someone else's home court, and in order to ensure maximum safety, they had to follow the rules of the game specified by others.

The area where the chapel is located seems to have been abandoned. The courtyard built along with the church has been abandoned, and most of the ancillary buildings have become dilapidated, which is better than the so-called "destroyed walls".Here, Yi Guang met several ghostly-looking guys wearing strange white masks, some kind of loose robes, and wide-brimmed round hats, holding a cane and a lantern in their hands.After these guys who didn't know who they were discovered the existence of Yi Guang and the others, they attacked them without saying a word.And Yi Guang and the others were naturally unambiguous, and they copied the guys and greeted these masked weirdos. With long spears, knives, and mountain axes, these unlucky bastards who lost their minds were hacked into pieces in an instant. Several broken bodies.Then, Yi Guang found some kind of badge with unknown meaning from the clothes worn by the corpses.

"This is the badge of the so-called 'Church of Healing'. They should be the priests of the church." After seeing the badge, Erwuzi hunter studied it carefully and said to Yi Guang, "I also had it in the church before." I've seen it."

"It seems that these priests have also fallen into madness in this dream." Yi Guang frowned after hearing these words, "This is only the border area of ​​the church, so what should the center of the church be like? ?”

"Whatever, if they are all crazy, just kill them all." Estes felt that Yi Guang was thinking too much, "Didn't you also say that this dream itself is not normal? , then we shouldn’t expect any normal people to exist.”

"That's right, the entire dreamland is the domain of those guys, so mutation and region should have nothing to do with it." After thinking for a while, Yi Guang said, "The only thing that determines the degree of mutation should be the ego of those humans who are pulled into the dreamland. Will. So it seems that the priests who believe in the blood power of those guys are more likely to become monsters?"

With such speculations in mind, the three of them continued to move towards the mountain road in Church Town. On the way, they saw several similar priests who had gone mad.They also easily defeated them, and came to the entrance of the core area of ​​the church. From their position, they could already see the church building that was built on the hillside and scaled up.On the top of the mountain, the most eye-catching thing in the field of vision is the imposing cathedral—needless to say, that should be the central building of the church.

But they soon discovered a very desperate fact, that is, the door leading to the church was lowered, and the pull rod that controlled the lifting of the large iron door was on the inside of the door.The three of them could only pass through the gap between the iron bars on the huge iron gate, and stared at the control lever that was close in front of them but could not be touched.

The entrance of the church was blocked in advance. The reason is unknown. It may be to prevent the disease in Yanan Town from spreading to the church. It may also be that at this night, the church is doing some unknown activities without being discovered.In short, the road leading to the center of the church was artificially blocked.

"what should we do?"

Yi Guang looked at the lever that was close at hand, and his eyes could see that there were some very strange-looking creatures on the lever that looked like house elves in the "Harry Potter" series.He tried to summon those creatures to help, and asked them to help pull the lever, but unfortunately, after a long time, these little guys didn't care about him.Yi Guang looked away from those strange little guys helplessly, then looked up, down, left, and right.

Well, it seems impossible to climb over the wall...

"Dangdangdangdang...!!!"

Esdesi's method was simpler and more brutal than Yi Guang's, and he slashed at the iron gate with the sword in his hand.The iron objects hit each other, sparking a stream of sparks, but in the end it was still useless, it could only prove that the Taidao named "Qianying" was indeed a magic weapon.If you were an ordinary knife, such a cut would have been full of gaps.

"Uh, I seem to remember... this badge, the old woman told me, you can use this to enter the door." When Yi Guang and Estes were at a loss, the hunter who had been silent since the beginning came After feeling around his body, he handed an exquisitely crafted badge to Yi Guang, "Try it, brother."

Chapter 355 There's Something Over There

"Where did you get this thing?"

Watching the door being slowly opened with the sound of gears rolling and metal parts rubbing, Yi Guang asked Erwuzi Hunter about the origin of the badge.All he saw was that the hunter handed the badge in through the gap in the fence, and waved it in front of those strange elf-like creatures, and those elves who had been ignoring Yi Guang immediately moved , manipulated the lever inside, and opened the iron door.

Obviously, this badge has some special meaning.

"It seems that I kept it from the previous dream reincarnation, and I don't remember the details very clearly." The hunter said to Yi Guang, "I didn't know what this thing was used for at first, but the old woman in the church, she and I said that this thing can be used to open a certain door in the church. It just so happens that this door is locked here, so I think it must be this door."

This dream itself has the power to blur people's consciousness. After all, the "dream" itself has some kind of vague imagery.According to the previous conversation with the old nun in the church, it can be known that even these so-called "conscious people" in the dream actually don't remember certain details of the previous round of dreams very clearly.This is probably caused by differences in personal physique and the environment in which they live.As far as is known, the old nanny is the one who retains the most memories of dreams. According to her own speculation, it is probably because of the incense, and she has never left the church, let alone hunted.

Hunting will blur people's mind and memory, and the endings of many hunters prove this point.From this, Yi Guang can deduce that, as a hunter, Er Wu Zai's memory may be being eroded by dreams.

This guy is always an unstable factor, at least as far as Yi Guang himself feels, he should not be trusted.It's just that as much combat power as possible is really needed now, so Yi Guang agreed to take him on the road.But since the system assured him that this guy is fine, Yi Guang should choose to believe it.Although the system is cheating, at least it will not intentionally kill him, at most it will just let him do more work.

"Okay, now that the door is open, let's go... I seem to have seen some crazy priests, so be careful. Since this is the core area of ​​the church, it must not be comparable to before."

After taking a deep look at the hunter, Yi Guang stepped into the door of the church first.Sure enough, as soon as they entered the door, they were warmly welcomed by the leaders of the church. A group of priests rushed towards them with various weapons. Among them, Yi Guang even saw flamethrowers and shotguns used by hunters.

"The equipment of this group of guys has actually been upgraded..."

Faced with such a weapon of mass destruction, Yi Guang certainly did not dare to be negligent, and immediately dodged at high speed, then jumped into the middle of the group of priests, and the spear in his hand circled in the air.His speed was so fast that before the clergy could even react, Yi Guang stepped over the strikers holding melee weapons and appeared in front of the clergy who were using firearms. The worker was swept away by the powerful spear in a dazed state.Afterwards, Estes and Erwuzi were also unambiguous, and they gave priority to hacking to death the priests carrying muskets and flamethrowers. Once these long-range attackers died, the rest of the priests would not be a threat.

A group of people came to the central square of the church easily in this way. It was not until this time that the three met what could be called a slightly threatening existence.

"boom--!!!"

A monster as huge as a hill, with a skeleton-like appearance, guarding this square with a huge ax in hand.Their huge bodies and heavy weapons fell on the three of them like a mountain. Although the three of them dodged in time, the vibration produced by the exaggerated giant ax hitting the ground still made them feel the terrifying destructive power contained in it. .

"It looks amazing, but it's a pity...it's too slow!"

Facing the giant monster she met for the first time, Esdeth was very calm. After dodging many times and briefly observing the attack method of this huge skeleton, she quickly showed a disdainful expression.Then the figure flickered, and at the same time, the sword at the waist was unsheathed, leaving a blood-red light in the air.

"Roar……"

The huge skeleton monster let out a deep roar, and its movements stopped at the moment when it raised the ax to prepare to chop.The blood-red knife light flashed across several parts of its huge body at the same time, and there were faint sounds of blunt instrument blows in the air, and time seemed to have fallen into a strange stagnation.

Esdeth's figure has passed through its body and appeared behind it, retracting the knife and sheathing it... The whole movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any stagnation.Then, the body of the huge skeleton trembled slightly, and in a blink of an eye, it collapsed like a collapsed building.It's just that after the huge monster died, it didn't leave a body behind. When the huge wreckage was cut off, it began a smaller disintegration process, and finally turned into a cloud of blue mist and exploded in the air. Come, form a strong air current.The long flowing water-blue hair of the strongest female general in the empire drifted with the wind in this air current, which seemed a bit chic.

"This knife feels really good."

Turning around and looking at the scene where the huge skeleton monster just killed by him disintegrated, Estes recalled the scorching power that filled his body just for a moment.That was the first time she really activated the runes in the knife. The moment she drew the knife, her hand holding the knife seemed to be burning.This wonderful pain spread from the hands to the whole body, but I didn't feel the pain at all, because at the same time as I seemed to be burning, a force that made me feel like I was about to explode filled my body and mind.Driven by this power, she almost subconsciously launched an attack, and precisely cut open the basic vital parts of this big skeleton.

Of course, her own powerful martial arts are the main factor, but the power of this knife is also obvious.Under the entanglement of the blood mist, the feeling of cutting this huge skeleton with this knife is actually similar to cutting tofu.

Just as Yi Guang told her, this is a magic knife that can become infinitely stronger by sucking blood.

"boom--!!!"

However, Yi Guang didn't notice a certain kind of expression on Esdes's face at this moment that was enough to make him feel very bad. Killed the skeleton monster on the other side.After clearing the road, Yi Guang and Hunter Erwuzi patrolled the empty square before returning to look for Esdeth.Unfortunately, the gate to the road ahead was blocked from the inside as before.

"It seems that no matter what era it is, the superiors are afraid of death." Yi Guang said with some dissatisfaction, "These guys deliberately blocked the road to Yanan on the 'hunting night', and also blocked the road leading to the top of the mountain. The roads are blocked layer by layer. Needless to say, this must be to protect the safety of those big people above..."

"Safe? It's not safe up there." Hunter curled his lips. "Although my memory is not very clear, I can tell you very clearly that there are terrible things in the church above."

"Scary thing? What kind?"

Yi Guang frowned, and glanced at the hunter. As one of the few waking beings in this dream, this guy should have experienced this dream many times.Although his consciousness was a little blurred due to hunting, he should still remember a lot of things that impressed him, so Yi Guang couldn't ignore what he said.

"A certain leader of the church has turned into a monster." The hunter recalled with some difficulty, "Yes! That's it, the church can't help those people at all, because their leader has also contracted lycanthropy and turned into a monster .”

"The natural result can only be said that desire makes people lose their minds."

Yi Guang smiled disdainfully, no one knew the power of the blood of the ancient god better than him.Of course he knew that with pure human technology and spirit, it was impossible to suppress the power of distortion and chaos brought about by the blood of the ancient gods.To be reasonable, if Yi Guang hadn't been helped by the system to steal a ray of divinity from Karna, the son of the sun at the beginning, he would have sunk into this dream long ago and become the pawn of the ancient god.

And now, after going through so many things, Yi Guang can probably know what these guys did from the fragmented clues of Yanan's dream, which turned the whole town into what it is today. Eerie look.

Although the gate was blocked, there were still several side doors in the square for people to enter and exit, so Yi Guang and the others went through the small side doors, trying to find a way up the mountain from the path.

Then they were warmly welcomed by a group of beastly townspeople with pitchforks and shotguns. Caught off guard, the three of them almost fell for it.But at the end of the day, the three of them are all experienced people, even if they were taken aback at first, they still easily took care of the "tricksters" that this group of hunters called "tricksters".However, from the perspective of Yi Guang and Erwuzai hunters who have experienced Yanan Town, they can clearly feel that the animalized townspeople here are obviously stronger than those in the inner city of Yanan.

There is no doubt that the previous guess is completely correct, the mutation in the church center is much more severe than that in Nan Town.

"Wait a minute, this is..."

The three continued to move forward, but within a few steps, Yi Guang felt some kind of inexplicable whim, some kind of powerful spiritual force, invaded his mind without warning.This made him show a somewhat shocked expression. You must know that even now that his power is suppressed by the dream, his spiritual power is still frighteningly high.It is almost impossible to directly invade one's brain with mental power.Even the ancient gods may not be able to do this.

And Esdesh beside Yi Guang also began to show some abnormality at this time.

"There, what is there..." Yi Guang looked towards the highest point of Church Hill, "There is something, over there."

Chapter 356 The Weird Cathedral

Some kind of spiritual will quietly invaded Yi Guang's spiritual world, and it seemed that it also affected Esdeth beside him by the way.As for Yi Guang's most untrustworthy hunter, this guy looks abnormally normal now.

"Lanza, I'm so dizzy..." Esdesh shook his head slightly, frowning, "It seems that someone is ringing a bell nearby, and there is singing."

Yes, Yi Guang also heard the singing and the sound of the bell.The crisp ringing bells and the long and melodious chant like the long cry of a giant whale in the sea have no practical meaning, but people can't help but be intoxicated by it.

From the moment the crowd left the square and walked through the side door in the central square of the church, Yi Guang had not noticed the existence of the singing and ringing bells.More importantly, this sound was not emitted by any normal sound source, nor was it transmitted through any material medium. It directly appeared in the minds of Yi Guang and Esdeth.

Yi Guang asked the hunter of Erwuzi, but the hunter said that he didn't hear any sound at all.

"Is it only the two of us who can hear the voice?" Yi Guang frowned, and glanced at the cathedral on the highest peak, "It seems that there is something extraordinary there."

Yes, something incredible, a certain answer has already flashed in Yi Guang's mind.However, according to his habit, he will not jump to conclusions before confirming with his own eyes.He just approached Estes, then patted her on the shoulder, and gently hugged her in his arms to comfort her.Although she couldn't use too much power in this dream, doing so would probably relax her a little.

"Let's go, it seems that there is someone who wants to see us."

After a while, Yi Guang let go of Esdeth, and then walked forward first, Esdesh followed behind, while Erwuzi Hunter showed some hesitation.

"That thing meets us, I don't want to see it at all."

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster. We can't avoid it. We don't seem to have a choice. If we don't go forward, we won't be able to find the entrance to the 'Forbidden Forest'." Yi Guang shrugged his shoulders in response to Erwu Zai's speech. "Either you continue to wait until that point in time and let the dream continue to reincarnate, and you won't be able to get out anyway."
