Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

City of Sighs, Yongye Ancient Town.

A long time ago, this place was a well-known place in the country of Opas. It is said that a certain god with a dark fate fell here ten thousand years ago, and formed a special magnetic field protection layer, preventing sunlight from shining in forever.

The real land of eternal polar night!

In its heyday, tens of thousands of rich people crowded into Yongye Ancient Town at the same time to enjoy the unique beauty of the polar night here and experience a completely different routine from the usual.

But now, the ancient town is no longer what it used to be. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere, standing there empty, as if crying to the visitors about its decline.

The air is filled with a disgusting smell, the streets that have not been cleaned for several years are covered with moss, and all kinds of rotting garbage are piled up. The cobwebs laid by giant spiders spread wantonly among the streets, and dark creatures lurk in invisible corners, waiting for an opportunity to pounce Kill your favorite prey.

No one is willing to visit this long-forgotten place, except those hunters who come with a purpose and a mission.

In the dark street, six demon hunters came from a distance, four men and two women.

Holding a silver bow|crossbow in her hand, Herax walked in the middle of the team of six, carefully observing her surroundings. This was the first time she teamed up with senior members of the Demon Hunter Association, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, worried that she would drag everyone down. .

"Put on a mask, the air here may be poisonous." The man warned Hercules.

The man's name is Yasa, the leader of this team was once an aborigine of Yongye Ancient Town, but now he is full of hatred and disgust for this so-called hometown.

"Understood." Hercules responded succinctly.

She opened the backpack, which contained a special mask, a pack of sachets, and some basic medicines and dry food. These are all her belongings now.

Hercules took out the mask and put it on, glanced at the sachet again, and after a short hesitation, took out the packet of Ye Lai Xiangyu and put it in the pocket of his coat.

In an instant, a familiar fragrance floated into Herax's nose, it was the scent of Ye Lai's fragrance, she took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, the uneasy emotions were instantly calmed down, and the stiff facial expression Also softened.

This sachet is really calming and long-lasting, Hercules thought, so it seems that spending a gold coin to buy it does not seem to be a bad loss.

The six-member team marched to a crossroads, and Asa suddenly stopped and ordered: "Separate here, two groups, Jacob and Crete, you go to the east, Seis, follow Ino, go to the west .”

After speaking, Asa glanced at Herax and said, "You, crossbow|archer, follow me to the north."

Hercules nodded, Yasa briefly explained a few more words, and the six of them divided into groups to complete the task individually.

Although giant spiders are dark creatures, their danger factor is not high. They have no IQ and only know how to spin silk and wield their sharp sickle legs. Advanced witchers can even hunt them down alone.

The Demon Hunters Association needs the venom and silk of giant spiders to make props, and their eight slender feet can be made into spears. In short, this kind of spider is full of treasures to be excavated. The purpose of this trip.

- Hunt giant spiders!

Asaph was very experienced in searching for giant spiders. Not long after Herax followed him northward, a single large spider appeared in front of them.

"Crossbow | Archer, you don't need melee combat!" Asa rushed up with a long knife in his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Waiting for an opportunity to act, I need bow and arrow assistance!"

"Okay, sir!" Herax quickly took advantage of the favorable terrain, raised the silver bow | crossbow, and aimed at the man and spider who were fighting.

The giant spider waved its sickle-sharp long legs indiscriminately, bringing up a series of wind blades. Asaph dodged flexibly. The long knife in his hand seemed to have eyes, and it could always hit the target. In just a moment, the giant spider was gone. It's scarred.

During the period, Herax shot a total of three arrows, two of which were nailed into the spider's huge body, but one arrow almost hit Yasa who was drifting, stuck to his scalp, and hit the nearby building.

"Hey! Crossbow|Archer, what are you doing?" Yasa easily dodged a sickle kick, and mocked: "Are you trying to crucify me here and swallow this big guy by yourself?"

"I'm sorry, sir!" cried Hercules, "I didn't see clearly, it's too dark in here!"

"Focus!" Yasa ordered.

Herax let out a breath, and focused on the battle to avoid making mistakes again. She didn't want to be a pig teammate.

The giant spider was completely enraged, and frantically spit out dense silk at Asa, and Asa dodged one by one, but at this moment, a sickle leg struck him unexpectedly, and Asa jumped out of the way.

Finger-thick silk sprayed out suddenly, Yasa had no time to dodge, his right foot was entangled, the spider opened its huge mouthparts, revealing a row of fangs, and was about to bite Yasa, Herax saw that the situation was not good, and decisively ran Shoot two arrows, all of which hit the giant spider's two largest compound eyes.

The giant spider was in pain and had no time to take care of Yasa. Yasa raised his hand and chopped off the spider's thread with a knife, then turned over beautifully, stepped on the spider's back, raised the knife, and pierced the spider's head in a split second until it sank into the handle.

A shrill and ear-piercing howl emanated from the giant spider's chest, green blood spurted out, and the mouthparts of the giant spider turned outward, spraying acid outward.

"Get out of the way! It's corrosive!" Yasa shouted, and at the same time jumped off the giant spider's head gracefully, avoiding the range of the acid spray.

Herax quickly backed away, staring at the giant spider in front of her vigilantly. Soon it was like a bombed-out building, staggering, and finally collapsed, turning into a foul-smelling corpse in an instant.

Asa walked over, the long knife in his hand was still dripping green blood on the ground, and he said casually: "Nice job! Crossbow|Archer, but please don't shoot arrows at my head next time."

"Sorry." Herax was a little embarrassed, but the man said generously: "Split it apart! You can choose a few parts to take away, exchange for gold coins, and the rest will be mine."

"I'll just take two things." Hercules said.

She is very self-aware that this battle mainly relies on Asaph, and she is only an auxiliary support, so it is not fair to distribute the spoils equally to the opponent.

Yasa was noncommittal, but shrugged and motioned for her to take it first, so Herax stepped forward, ready to take the spoils she had planned.

She planned to take some venom from the mouthparts of the spider and use it to smear the crossbow | arrows and daggers, which would help her kill the enemy with one arrow in future battles.

In addition, she also wants to get some spider silk, which can be sold for a good price. After all, she bought a sachet for a gold coin before. Although she thinks it is worth it, it is too extravagant in the end, and she has to find a way to make up for it.

However, just as she was about to make a move, the gray mist hidden in Ye Lai Xiangyu couldn't bear it anymore.

It slowly separated into two filaments in this extremely dark environment, so thin that the naked eye could not detect it, one thread penetrated into Herax's ear, and the other thread sneaked into the ancient town of Yongye like a ghost, which was even darker In the deep area, there is no trace.

They don't have enough energy, so naturally they don't want to miss the gluttonous feast that they can feast on.

Xixi Suosuo's voice suddenly sounded in Heracles' mind. It was vague at first, but soon became clear. It seemed to be a woman, whispering to her constantly, with an irresistible sense of oppression.

"Take the heart..."

"The heart is of great use to you..."

Hercules was stunned, while Yasa was resting at the side, looking at the surrounding environment boredly, not noticing her strangeness.

what?

Hercules shook her head, trying to wake herself up, but there were more and more babbles in her head, the voice sounded very familiar, her unique intuition was activated instantly, and a thought came to her suddenly: How about trying to use the heart this time? ?

So, the witcher lady put down the bow|crossbow in her hand, pulled out the dagger tied to her leg, and cut a big hole in the giant spider's heart. Resisting the feeling of wanting to vomit, she reached in and took out a bright red bewitching The heart——is still beating tenaciously.

She put her heart into the cloth bag prepared in advance, at the same time, the ravings disappeared suddenly, as if everything just now was an auditory hallucination.

Staring blankly at the giant spider heart in the bag, Herax felt a little uncomfortable.

She never imagined that after hunting a giant spider, she would choose a heart that even an alchemist would not care about.

This thing probably isn't even worth fifty silver coins, is it?

What's more, the heart is easily corrupted and deteriorated. If you don't get rid of it in time, let alone fifty silver coins, even if you throw it away, you will be scolded by people who know how to clean.

Why would I take a useless heart?Hercules muttered in her heart, what happened to the whisper in her head just now?Why is there an inexplicable sense of familiarity?

Miss Witcher was speechless and asked the sky, but unfortunately no one could tell her the answer, but Herax still stubbornly believed in her intuition that never made a mistake, since her intuition told her that she should do this, then take it.

So, after collecting part of the spider venom, she said to Asa, "I've got what I want, and the rest is yours, sir."

Yasa came over, glanced at her, did not make any comments on her taking the heart, and began to process the corpse, and said at the same time: "I will need about 10 minutes, during which time you can walk around here, go to the building to find someone There is nothing of value, so be careful not to leave me more than 500 meters."

"Yes, sir," replied Hercules.

"Also!" Yasa stopped, looked up at her, and said indifferently: "If you haven't come back after more than 10 minutes, I won't wait any longer, but return to the meeting place alone."

Herax was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what Yasa meant, and replied seriously: "I understand, thank you sir."

Yasa nodded, stopped talking, and continued to focus on dividing those valuable parts. Herax turned and left, and walked to the door of the store not far away.

The shop was full of spider webs, and there were many products that had been there for an unknown period of time. She took out the lighting stone in her pocket, and walked in slowly with the help of the faint light.
