Mercenaries and Adventurers

The white mist is gradually expanding, and because of the lack of lighting in the forest, Knight Lanisa will soon lose sight of the old hunter not far away.

In her supernatural senses, she vaguely felt that a huge monster was gradually approaching from the top of the big trees in the forest.

It was a very special feeling. She clearly knew that there should be nothing there, after all, she couldn't see anything, but she herself could feel the approach of a huge object.

Is it the vibration caused by the weight of that monster approaching?

It doesn't seem to be, because she gently pressed her palm with armored gloves on the ground, and didn't feel any vibration.

Is it the sound vibration caused by the possible breathing of the Warcraft?

But it doesn't seem to be the case. Although this fog is only experienced for the first time, she already knows that this thing can eliminate the sound in the fog.

what is that?

She remembered what her father had said to her.

"After becoming a knight, you will experience a new world. It is a new perception beyond the usual experience. It is not the eyes, nor the ears, nor the keen perception brought by the skin of the body. What? It is the telepathy that everyone says Is it? Not that weird. Let's just say, it's probably the magician's sight that often appears in the stories. It might be that, haha, I think so. You'll understand later."

But her father died, and it was difficult for her to understand what kind of perception it was.

However, at this moment, Knight Lanisa vaguely understood what her father was talking about. At this moment, her sight was blocked by the white mist, her hearing was blocked by the sound-absorbing mist, and her body was also hidden in the thick steel armor.

Nothing can help her.

Then, the perception that had been neglected since she became a knight seemed to suddenly appear.

Closing her eyes, she grasped the feeling, put the whole body's perception inside her body, and then opened her other pair of 'eyes' again.

Not far away, a huge existence that is constantly releasing unknown power is hovering on the tree above their heads. That being seemed to be picking out suitable prey.

Unlike other free prey, the animals prepared by the knight hunters in the forest clearing were all tightly bound with strong ropes. This makes this huge existence seem to be in doubt.

Just when Lanisa Knight looked at the huge existence on the big tree in surprise, the huge existence paused, then turned around, and turned its body to Lanisa Knight.

Immediately afterwards, both the knight and the old hunter next to him heard an unknown grunt coming from above.

'It was discovered! The knight immediately realized this, she opened her real eyes suddenly, leaped out of the hole, threw away the dead branches and rotten leaves used to cover the outer armor, pulled out the armor-piercing rapier at her waist, and shouted angrily: "it's time!"

The female knight's angry shout spread widely in the quiet forest filled with white mist, even the mist with sound-absorbing power could not stop her voice.

Immediately after the female knight jumped to the surrounding trees, an old hunter from the pit next to her came out later, pulled the bowstring and straightened his arms, and shot an arrow towards the place where the grunt came from.

At the same time, arrows pierced through the mist in other places around, and some other hunters lit the torches that had been prepared with kindling, and quickly aimed the torches and threw them on the surrounding trees.

Boom, the flames ignited.

A few big trees around immediately exploded with brilliant sparks, and then the whole tree burned at an extremely fast speed.

Knight Lanisa pedaled on the trunk of the big tree and jumped up quickly, and directly kicked back a few times to use her strength to jump under the body of the monster that was at a high place.

Only when you get really close to the monsters can you realize how big the monsters rule this forest.

Knight Lanisa felt that this magical beast might be slightly larger than half the size of the knight villa where she lived. That is already the size of four or five houses.

She herself is even bigger than a colorful pattern on the monster's body.

Following the momentum of the upward charge, Knight Lanisa used the armor-piercing stab sword in her hand into the body of the monster.

boom! Puff.

The monster's body has a hard outer shell. If it is an ordinary weapon, it may not be easy to hurt the monster, but it just so happens that her weapon is used to penetrate the hard armor.

With only a slight hindrance, the entire blade of the sword was stabbed into the body of the monster.

Before the monster could react, she immediately stirred the rapier and pulled it out, then used her free left finger to hold the wound of the monster that had been opened, and then exerted force on this fulcrum, and the rapier in her right hand was in succession There were five or six holes and wounds pierced on the monster's body.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!" There was a terrible loud noise from all over the body of the monster. I don't know how this monster didn't use its mouth to make such a strong and loud sound.

Lanisa was in a trance for a while, but when she was in a trance, she still saw a faint shadow sweeping from the side, and she immediately realized that it was the counterattack of the monster.

It is possible to let go and fall naturally to avoid the monster's counterattack, but it is still very risky. Her subconscious told her that she must not do this.

Because once she was in free fall, there was no force around her body, and she was attacked by a monster, she had no other means to dodge, and could only resist with a shield and armor.

So, in this extremely short period of time, she immediately turned her body, and at the same time let go of the fingers held by her left hand, and her whole body made a 180-degree U-turn on the spot.

In this very short period of time, the monster's attack has already approached the female knight from far and near, and she can already see what it is with the naked eye.

It was a sharp and thin monster leg like a blade, and the luster could tell people, it must be very tough. If you get hit, half your life will be lost.

But the corners of Lanisa's tightly pursed lips turned up slightly, and she kicked her legs, and with a bang, she fell downward at an extremely fast speed.

Swish, the monster's sharp legs hit an empty space.

At the same time, the other two legs and feet that were hidden before were also missed one after another.

Knight Lanisa flipped in the air, and then landed on the ground with a thud. The soil on the ground was smashed into a deep pit of more than 30 centimeters.

Rubbing his wrist, the knight stood up and looked around.

The bow and arrow attack and the burning of the big tree that stopped after the monster's body made a loud noise just now also continued to attack at this moment.

Returning the armor-piercing rapier back into the scabbard at his waist, Knight Lanisa drew the one-handed epee from behind his back. The rapier has some effect on this amazing monster, but not much.

Or this heavy one-handed epee can do more effective damage.

---

The old hunter who was the closest to the monster continued to shoot arrows from the quiver at his waist, while relying on his ears to distinguish the fighting situation between the monster and the knight.

He wasn't worried that the arrow would hurt Lord Knight. After all, the strong steel armor on the knight was not a joke. Even if his bow and arrow accidentally hit the knight, it would be bounced off directly.

Compared with human knights who have armor defenses, ferocious beasts living in the wild, even including the monster above their heads, do not have hard armor to protect themselves, and most of them can only rely on other means to protect themselves.

Such as this annoying fog.

It obscured the sharp eyes of the hunters, and they could have ambushed and shot from a distance. In this case, they had to listen to the sound and position at such a dangerous distance to probabilistically shoot the weak parts of the monster's body.

Those boys around did a good job, igniting all the big trees that were requested in advance in a short period of time.

Very good, next, when everyone gets closer, you can shoot more arrows. There will always be bows and arrows that will hit the magic beast's vitals, giving the knight a boost in his attack.

--

This mist is not without benefits, and Knight Lanisa realized this at this moment.

She has always used the armor-piercing rapier that is popular in the south as a weapon, but few people know about the one-handed epee that she practiced hard in the dark. She didn't have many opportunities to train with other knights, so it was a good idea to hide this matter.

She had to do this. After all, her father died for no apparent reason many years ago, and the murderer has not been found so far. How dare she not hide it.

Now that it is covered by the fog released by the monster itself, there is no need to worry about being discovered by others.

Once again, she quickly approached the monster through the big tree, and the monster was waiting for her. The sharp legs cut from three directions, much faster than before.

But it was useless, Knight Lanisa held the epee in one hand, unlike before, she dared to use the weapon to resist the attack of the monster this time.

The weapon and the monster's legs rubbed against each other and sent out rotten collision sparks. Compared with the exquisitely crafted weapons of humans, the legs and feet naturally grown by the monster seem to be a little worse. Only a few confrontations, the legs of the monster originally looked The very tough and sharp limbs are snapped everywhere.

A translucent liquid burst out of it.

Lanisa Knight is also having a hard time, she can't use her strength in the air, so after every confrontation, she will be knocked out unconsciously by the huge force of the monster. But the rest of these confrontations can't hurt her in the slightest.

You can slow down and go up by grabbing the branches that pass by.

Seeing the opportunity, Knight Lanisa then fought several times to force the monster back to the side of a burning tree, making it impossible for the monster, which is afraid of flames, to retreat.

It is impossible to use all the multiple limbs evenly distributed around the body to attack the knight. No matter how you say it, it has to let a few legs stand on the surrounding trees to maintain the height and balance of the body.

At this time, several legs could not move away from the body, and some legs could only dodge and curl up next to the body due to the pressure of the flames. It only had one leg that could stretch out to attack this dangerous metal-wrapped body. of humans.

Many bows and arrows shot up from below, and happened to hit the leg that was waving wildly to prevent humans from approaching. The legs and feet, which were already cracked in large pieces, were hit by these swiftly passing bows and arrows, and got into the cracked opening.

Lanisa, who was very close, seized the opportunity and grabbed the monster's legs that paused in the air, then swung her body slightly in the air, and approached the roots of the monster's legs in an extremely delicate and bold way. , the one-handed epee disregarded everything else, and directly stabbed and slashed at the heels of the Warcraft's legs and feet.

With two strokes, the not very strong outer shell of the monster was broken, and a large part of the body tissue inside was cut off.

Just as Knight Lanisa cut off the limbs of the monster and climbed up the front of the monster's body with hands and feet, she took a very close look at the front of the monster's body.

This glance made her stunned.

The original information showed that this was a magical beast transformed from a spider on its own, and the place where spider eyes should have been originally did not have the many spider eyes that Lanisa Knight originally expected.

She had intended to pounce on the spider eyes, which were an obvious weakness.

But when she climbed on top of the monster's huge body, she could see clearly what was in the monster's eyes at a very close distance.

Unexpectedly large eyeballs are scattered and arranged.

Some are just human heads that have replaced the eyeballs one by one, and are comparable in size to monsters.

Where the original eyeballs grew out of the Warcraft body was a human head. These heads don't look like dead objects, some of them are surprised, some are angry, and some are full of confusion.

What made Knight Lanisa tremble was that she still had a newly grown head underneath, and she could tell that it was the young subordinates of the three hunters she knew.

These three were full of pleading expressions. After opening their mouths, intermittent words that did not form a sentence came out: "Riding, Lord Knight."

"don't want."

"Hurt, hurt."

"Me, and us."

"Everyone, everyone, no, I don't want to."

"Death."

She didn't recognize the other heads, but they all had the same young faces. These heads raised their heads vigorously, as if trying to squeeze their necks out of the monster's body.

They wriggled weirdly, and all kinds of strange sentences and thoughts came out of their mouths.

"Human, human. Join us."

"Isn't the metal clad human?"

"Don't hurt me, no, us."

"You hurt me, **** it, **** it, **** it!"

Knight Lanisa, who had never seen such a thing before, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and she felt as if the hairs all over her body were blown up. What the **** are they hunting, and who are those humans? Is it the humans who have been devoured by this monster all this time?

They are still alive? Or is it dead? But those few hunters know me, and the others don't know me, which means that they may still maintain independent consciousness and soul from each other?

Knight Lanisa was in a trance for a while, and fell from the edge of the monster's body.

When she fell in the air, her body's instinctive reaction made her turn around and land on her legs. She was not injured except that her hard armor legs pierced the ground with two not shallow holes.

But Knight Lanisa was still a little confused. She hesitated whether to retreat first, and went back to the city to discuss with other knights and the baron what she had just seen.

Is there any salvation for those who were devoured by monsters? If not, will their souls go where they should go after they die?

In other words, not only their bodies were devoured, but their souls were also devoured by monsters.

So in this way, is the soul of this monster a human or a monster? can it communicate

Has it been trying to talk to us?

Confused thoughts until the old hunter heard the sound of the knight landing, and found it.

"My lord knight, I didn't hear the sound of fighting. What's the situation now?" As soon as the old hunter came over, Knight Lanisa immediately put the one-handed epee in her hand into the weapon box behind her.

She pulled out the legs and feet that were deeply embedded in the mud, and raised her head to look at the huge monsters rushing left and right in the mist above, trying to break through the surrounding burning trees.

"Nothing, nothing. I cut off one of its attacking legs just now. You told everyone not to shoot, and set fire to the surrounding trees to make the trap bigger to prevent the monster from escaping. It wants to run, so we don't Let it go."

After the old hunter arrived, he immediately ran to the place where the other hunters should be and informed the others.

Knight Lanisa kicked the legs and feet of the monster that fell on the ground with her steel boots, opened the helmet visor, and spit.

He looked at the monster above his head with complicated eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he still took out the one-handed epee again, stomping on the trees and charging forward.

The monster noticed that the metal-wrapped human who hurt it was coming again, and immediately let out a panic-sounding scream: "Squeak!!"

Multiple legs wanted to hold onto the surrounding tree trunks, and escape from this place full of flames. He also wants to kill and swallow this difficult human being, and run away from a lower place, where there is no flame.

Although it doesn't like the forest floor full of mud, if it really has no choice, it can only ignore cleanliness and force its body to escape on the ground.

However, Knight Lanisa, who had already figured out the attacking routine of this monster, relied exclusively on moving and forcibly colliding with the legs and feet of the monster, forcing the opponent into a corner surrounded by flames.

Seizing the opportunity, she cut off the root of one of the monster's legs again when the monster was unable to advance or retreat. In this way, there are not many limbs that this monster can use to attack and counterattack. It has to lean its body on the surrounding trees, avoid the burning trees, and attack her.

No chance, this monster.

Knight Lanisa thought that maybe she could cut off several legs and feet of this monster, and then find a way to bring the body of the monster as big as a house back to Kendall City.

On the one hand, it can show her bravery and ability, on the other hand, maybe those who are swallowed can be saved?

The priests of various churches might have a solution, or the kingdom mages who heard the news?

But just as Lanisa Knight confronted the demon again and was safely knocked into the air, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and grabbing a branch to slow down, the monster that had lost two legs screamed again Finally, he stopped staying on the big tree, but landed on the forest floor at an extremely fast speed.

"Not good. Everyone! The monster has fallen to the ground! Hide well and be careful!" Knight Lanisa shouted out the situation, and then she stopped staying on the tree. Jump in the air to where the monster is.

--

The hunters heard the knight's call, and quickly hid behind the trees one by one, or directly drilled into the hole where they hid.

The monster panicked and threw up a large piece of dead leaves and soil after it landed. It didn't care that the bottom of its body would be soiled by the soil. It crawled and found two gaps in the traps of the surrounding flame trees.

Lanisa Knight blocked the monster once in a gap, but the monster immediately fled to another gap and escaped.

Knight Lanisa strode forward and jumped up to chase, but after chasing one person and one monster for a while, the monster escaped from the flames, and then climbed up the tall trees in the forest, and found a very tall big tree. The tree, after using its tail to spray a thing in a certain direction in the dark sky, then stuck the thing to the top of the big tree, then used its six legs to grab the thing and slid and ran away.

Knight Ranisa, who was unable to catch up, punched the big tree, bang, half of his arm was smashed into the solid trunk of the big tree, and sawdust flew.

Not reconciled, she followed up with a more ruthless punch, directly bursting a pothole the size of a washbasin in the trunk of the root of the big tree.

She saw the direction in which the monster was escaping, and quickly made a mark indicating the direction, and then went back to organize the team. They had to chase to the south, and the monster fled in that direction.
