The Divine Hunter

The tomb of the Viriles family is located in the northeast of the village. Within a radius of one mile, it is an uninhabited open space. Birds and beasts are extinct, and it is deadly silent.

The two witchers walking side by side pushed open the rusty door of the cemetery, and looked around to see a dozen or so old tombstones sparsely standing on the ground. Surrounded by the tombstone, there is a large gray-brown tree with a crooked neck. Its bark is severely cracked, its roots and branches are dry and yellow, and its leaves have fallen off.

Just below the big tree, there is a faintly sloping concrete step that leads to the dark underground tomb. The two witchers did not rush down, but turned on their senses and first checked the soil near the tombstone.

"The soil is dry and there is no sign of being rummaged... We are lucky, there are no tomb witches or ghouls digging up corpses nearby." Roy breathed a sigh of relief, "There is no trace of blood or fighting in the cemetery. If there is a bat wing demon hidden below, it will definitely come out to hunt and leave fresh traces."

"Don't take it lightly!" Leto's sharp eyes swept away, and by the way he threw a torch wrapped in tarpaulin, "I have discussed with Cogrim many times before, this guy's skills are similar to mine, but he died below. , which is enough to illustrate the danger."

"Even if there are only demon spirits in the tomb, it's enough for us!"

"Understood." Roy nodded. Demon spirits are not unusual monsters. They are nothingness. Under normal circumstances, they are not damaged by flames, toxins, and bloody weapons. They cannot be dealt with by brute force alone.

And this is not a game, and you must be cautious, even if he has several ways to save his life.

The two began to check the weapons and equipment on their bodies: the sword evenly smeared with evil spirit oil, the potion within reach on the leather pocket on the chest, the alchemy bomb in the small cloth bag around the waist.

In the end, the two sides tacitly poured a bottle of the potion Thunder, and went down to the tomb one after another with black blood vessels on their faces.

...

Dark, cold and damp, this was the first impression they had of the catacombs.

Letoti walked ahead with a torch, followed by Roy. He leaned on his side, and after drinking the potion, his eyes that flickered vigilantly looked around.

This is the front passage of the tomb, so narrow that it can only accommodate two people side by side. The walls on the left and right sides are flat and smooth. On the wall not far from the stairs, there is a structural diagram of the tomb's head, which is very old, and the writing on the structural diagram is slightly blurred.

Looking at the densely packed tombs above, Roy couldn't help sighing, "The White Orchard is not large, but there are quite a few members of the lord's family... But it's so cold..."

He took a breath,

Compared with the warm spring weather outside, the temperature of the underground tomb has dropped by more than ten degrees, as if the cold winter has suddenly entered, and even the white air exhaled between the nose and mouth is clearly visible.

And this cold is gloomy, very strange, it seems that the cold wind is constantly blowing from the inside out, and it gets into the bones, making people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The two walked to the end of the corridor, and after turning a circle to the left, their vision suddenly became clear.

This is a boxy tomb with four pale sarcophagi quietly placed in the corners, and fifteen or six hollows were dug out of the surrounding walls, which were also filled with coffins.

Roy lit the brazier in every corner with torches. The blazing fire made the tomb instantly brighter, and the cold feeling was completely dispelled.

According to the rules of the tombs of Temeria nobles, only members of the immediate family are eligible to be buried in the center of the tomb after death, while members of the side branches can only be buried in the holes dug in the walls.

So he came to a coffin in the center, "Patrice Villiers...1150, died of dysentery." Roy read out the record on the side of the sarcophagus, "The dead more than a hundred years ago, no Knowing that it is the ancestor of the current lord..." His hand slowly rubbed the surface of the rough coffin board, he touched some black and rotten substance, and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. It's the petals, at least ten years old.

"It seems that this tomb has been unvisited for a long time." He thought to himself, "This is a noble tomb. No one dared to come in because of the demon spirits. Maybe there are precious jewels buried in the coffin that have not been stolen."

"Little devil, come and see..."

"Have you found anything?" Roy squatted down somewhere between the coffins and looked at the emerald powder on Letho's fingers. These powders seemed to be enchanted, and the particles were shiny and beautiful.

Roy's heart moved, "Evil spirit dust?"

Evil spirit dust, as the name suggests, is the ashes left after the death of demon spirits. This base is used in many of the witcher's alchemical products, such as Patri's potions. However, the output of evil spirit dust is very low, and one demon spirit can only produce half of it.

"There is no doubt that Cogrim fought against demon spirits in this tomb." Lesso, in the principle of not wasting, put away the pile of evil spirit dust in his hand, and quickly placed it against the wall on the left side. The second pile was found, and there was a deep sword mark on the wall.

"This guy is still so strong, and he should be in good shape at the time. There are two demon spirits in total. Although it takes a little effort, it won't hurt him."

After Lesso finished speaking, he called Roy to go deeper, but the latter stopped and glanced at the coffin in the tomb on the wall.

Passing a half-burned white candle, a few gray coins lay quietly on the coffin board. Roy walked over and picked them up and wiped them, but saw the front of the coins, depicting Foltest. The king's hooked-nose face.

"Five orens, although orens are not fashionable these days, they can still be exchanged for krona at Vivaldi Bank."

But after thinking about it, Roy still put the money down. He is not a tomb robber, so he can't be greedy for these small gains.

...

The tomb of Veli Reis is not a cobweb structure extending in all directions, but is arranged vertically forward in the order of passages, tombs, and passages. Each time it reaches the end, it turns its head and continues to extend inside like sections of overlapping ropes.

The two passed through three tombs one after another, counted the number of coffins in the center and side walls of the tomb, and then based on the structure diagram of the tomb at the entrance, they determined that there were at least two hundred people buried in the tomb.

"The Williere family used to be so prosperous that it made people jealous. Now there's only one of Ignacio Willieth's lone family left." Roy thought of Brina's last words in the tavern. "Maybe the Lord of White Orchard has been tortured mad by loneliness, so he can do such a crazy thing."

...

During the exploration, the two also found seven piles of evil spirit dust and a mummified corpse that was randomly placed and dressed in shabby clothes. They agreed that it was the corpse of a tomb robber. If the tomb robbers only took the property of the first tomb, they might be able to escape from the minions of the demon spirit, but they were obviously too greedy.

"Little devil, greed makes people crazy, you have to take precautions."

"We are different, I can at least run for my life." Roy shook his head and changed the subject by the way, "So far, Cogrim has killed nine demon spirits single-handedly, and it seems that there is no sign of injury at all, do you think he will not Will it be cleaned up directly to the innermost tomb?"

Roy truly admired this Snake Sect senior who he had never met. If the witcher wants to kill the demon spirits, they must first use the Moon Dust or the Seal of Arden to convert the demon spirits into entities, otherwise they cannot be harmed at all.

And he only has a one-month dust bomb on him. As for the Arden Seal, his attainment in this area is far less than that of Lesuo, and his influence on the demon spirit is extremely limited.

If he is in Cogrim's position, killing three demons will immediately stop.

"If your guess is true, it means that there is an extremely powerful monster inside..."

After Lesso finished speaking, he suddenly raised his index and middle fingers behind him, arching like a cheetah, holding his breath, Roy also kept quiet tacitly, leaned against the wall, and moved quietly towards the corner ahead.

Approaching, there was a faint vibration from the snake pendant that was attached to the skin of the chest.

Magic is approaching.

The vibrations became more and more intense, but there was no footsteps. A monster floating in the air, such as a demon spirit, would not make any movement.

At a certain moment, two pairs of eyes met in the darkness.

The bald-headed man quickly carved an hourglass-shaped seal toward the front. As the seal was formed, purple rays of light emerged, and a circular magic circle rose from the ground beneath his feet.

Just cover the corners.

Almost at the same time, Roy rounded the corner and saw the scene on the other side completely.

A translucent cyan demon spirit was bound in the Arden Formation. It had a basic human shape, dressed in a light gauze, holding a bright yellow lantern in one hand and a small lantern in the other. dagger.

Its eyes are like cyan ghosts, and its face is a thin skull, with an extremely ferocious image. At this moment, this demon spirit is struggling desperately like a man in a quagmire, his body flashing between nothingness and reality.

Wailing LV3: Demon spirits are those who harbor resentment, and who have suffered pain and grievances in their lifetimes. Their wails are soul-stirring and can arouse fear in people's hearts and make people lose the courage to resist.

Void body (passive solidification): The demon spirit's body is between the entity and the void, and any physical attacker will be reduced by half. They can also escape into the void at any time, dodging all damage and launching insidious sneak attacks.

...

Roy didn't give her a chance to break free. With five fingers outlined, Igni hit the face, a row of cone-shaped fire snakes wrapped around the translucent body of the demon spirit, sparks splashing everywhere!

The demon spirit soared into the air bathed in the flames, and suddenly let out a mournful cry, and an invisible sound wave swept around the body.

On the floor of the tomb, thick dust was flying.

However, Roy just shook his head at will, waved his hand in front of his nose, and his eyes returned to clarity-the super-high will made him directly immune to mental shock.

He dragged Arondai and rushed towards the demon spirit, jumping up suddenly, the blade in his hand lifted from bottom to top, slashing across its skirt, chest, abdomen and neck.

In the crisp sound of "Zizi", the silver sword smeared with evil spirit oil corroded its body into a large cloud of blue smoke.

But the demon was powerless to resist.

Bound by the Arden trap, its figure cannot be turned into an incorporeal body, and it is even more shackled. It moves slowly like a snail, and there is no way to dodge.

Only clumsily swinging lanterns and daggers, hit back at the witcher!

Roy was short and turned against the direction he turned, his footsteps slipped on the ground, and he nimbly jumped to the side of the demon spirit. At the same time, he leaned on the silver sword in a plow-like shape on his chest, and stabbed it hard at the back. A sword.

"puff--"

Five fingers outline.

In the dazzling firelight, the bound demon spirit trembled violently, and with a burst of unwilling screams, it dissipated into the air as light smoke.

Little bits of emerald powder fell on the ground and piled up into a pool of evil spirit dust.

"Kill the demon spirit, experience +60, witcher lv6 (700/3500)"

"It's really ugly, like an old witch who's been spit on." Roy put Arrondette in the sheath, squatted down and put the evil spirit dust into a small jar, "But with the seal of Arden, This thing is not as powerful as I imagined."

"Stay vigilant, kid—" Leto stared at the dark passage, "This is just a demon. If two or three ends are double-teamed, how will you deal with it."
