our family is gone

Chapter 323 Pigs are so cute
In such a dim environment, eyesight is not the first sense at all, and the two parties discovered each other before they even met.

"No limit, kill any enemy you see."

Lance raised his hand and took out a small shield out of thin air, holding a hand ax in his right hand. The giant sword is not very practical in this kind of space.

The space is narrow and difficult to move and dodge, the shield can resist part of the enemy's attack, and the ax is good for chopping, suitable for displaying his strength.

Boudica picked up the halberd, she didn't know what happened, she only knew that she was going to kill.

Tardiff also quickly pulled out his ax to fight, and his eyes under the helmet were fixed on the front.

Disma had a musket in one hand and a short sword in the other, and his sharp eyes seemed to pierce the darkness.

The distance between the two sides was close, and finally saw a few strange figures rushing out of the darkness.

One was the monster that Geralt had described.

The pig head has a strong body shape, but it is limited to the upper body, because the lower body is more like a pig's body proportion structure than a human, dragging a chain hammer in one hand, and the sound of the swaying iron chain makes it stand out.

The other hand held a serrated meat cleaver, which was dull in color and had no idea how much blood was stained on it, like a crazy butcher with a pig's head.

But the shapes of the other two are a bit weird, their bodies are thinner and thinner than the previous ones, and their heads are completely covered by a weird and non-standard full-coverage steel hood.

There are large-scale remodeling marks on its body. The left hand is a shield made up of various garbage and scraps. The right hand has been remodeled and added a huge hook. The palm was cut off and nailed into the flesh to fix it. Here and there, even the misshapen trotters are bound with sharp iron bars, like shoeing a horse.

The chaotic and illogical transformation is like a child's toy.

But whoever underestimates the sharp hook is doomed to suffer.

But this level is far from the limit of the beast den, until a monster smaller than the previous two popped out of the darkness with a strange posture.

That thing is not even half the size of its companion, it is about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, and its appearance is also very weird.

Although the other pigman monsters are weird, they can still be seen.

And this monster is a mass of twisted and deformed flesh and blood. The only obvious feature on its body is the pig's head. Seeing a clear human face, it seems that there is a skeleton growing in the body.

The lower body has completely degenerated and shrunk, leaving only deformed and crippled trotters, and inexplicably protruding bony spurs piercing through the skin. It is supported by a pair of arms. It crawls and jumps in the dark passage, but it is very flexible.

Neither the burly Pig Slayer nor the Pig Hook bothered Lance, but the appearance of this figure directly aroused his vigilance.

The crippled pigman was a sick hybrid of humans and pigs produced by the ancestors' research, a twisted fusion of flesh and blood.

But it was clear that the ancestor's ritual had failed, and his body was twisted into strange shapes and the host of countless unspeakable diseases.

And that's where Lance worries, aggressively they pose little threat, but their real danger is that they carry a plethora of diseases and are able to spread them through disease-ridden vomit.

And obviously the sharp neighing just now was made by this thing, because it is also neighing non-stop now, like killing a pig.

I don't know if it's the monster warning its companions or calling for reinforcements, but the sharp sound becomes more irritating and inexplicably stressful as it amplifies through the pipeline.

A Pig Slayer, two Pig Hookers, and a Pig Cripple.

This familiar team configuration seemed to make Lance return to the game in a trance.

But it only took him a moment to react, because the pigs were more enthusiastic than their visitors, and the battle was about to start!
"Disma aimed at the smaller monster and shot." Lance directly raised his hand to mark the disabled pig man, and then raised his shield and charged forward.

After the distance between the two sides approached, Disma was able to spot the enemy in the dim environment, and immediately raised his musket after hearing the lord's instructions.

The dim environment and narrow terrain, as well as its short body and flexible movements that are blocked by other pigmen, all these realistic factors are superimposed. Even though Disma has full confidence in himself, it is still a long-lost time to aim and find the opportunity to shoot .

Soon he got this opportunity, and the crippled pigman jumped up with the support of his arms and wanted to rush forward.

But at this time, the flames suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the shocking gunshots continued to go back and forth in the passage, directly overwhelming the screams.

Propelled by the gunpowder, the projectile exploded with powerful force, whistling through the cover of the monster, and precisely penetrated into the body of the leaping crippled pigman.

It was shot down halfway as soon as it jumped up, and the chest of the monster was torn apart by this shot, but it was far from directly killing it, at least the thing was still lingering.

"Damn it! I missed your eye." Seeing this, Disma frowned and cursed, and hurriedly reloaded the next bullet.

In fact, the battle has already begun.

The pigman slaughterers didn't care about the life or death of their companions at all. They didn't rush up without thinking after they got close, but threw the heavy chain hammer at Lance.

If it was hit by this fist-sized hammer covered with rusty spikes and mixed with countless kinds of filth, the horror would not be the tearing of flesh and bones, but the subsequent infection that could not be cured at all.

This is the scary thing about this place.

Lance raised his shield in front of him, sparks flickered across the metal shield in the next second, and the attached force was removed by the inclined shield, making it impossible to repel him.

And Lance also seized this gap and stepped forward, not giving it a chance to retract the chain hammer, swinging an ax and fighting with the pigman slaughterer.

Boudica raised his halberd and charged away, while a pigman blocking the way hurriedly raised a shield made of broken wood and iron chains to resist.

But the use of shields is also skillful. The big taboo is to block from the front, so that all the power of the enemy's attack will act on the shield holder.

Lance was taught by the master Barristan, but it was obvious that these pigmen were just imitating certain behaviors bluntly.

They only know that this can resist attacks, but they haven't reached the level of summing up experience.

The tip of the halberd pierced directly into the shield, and the broken wood actually blocked it!
But the exaggerated power carried by the charge instantly poured into the skinny body of the pig-man's hooked hand. With a pig cry, it began to lose its balance unconsciously. It seems that the transformed pig's feet didn't have much effect. effect.

Boudica is not only good at dashing, on the contrary her fighting skills are quite powerful.

After inserting the wooden shield, she picked it up one by one. She originally wanted to lift the shield up and let it go, but she didn't expect that the modification of the pigman's hook hand was so weird. tied together by chains.

Under such circumstances, under the frenzied struggle of the pigman's hook hand, he still pulled out the shield, and then rushed forward screaming to give Boudica a hook.

Boudica didn't care about the failure of one blow, but swung the halberd towards it, and the small space didn't affect her movements at all.

Tardiff had only seen pigman slaughterers, and thought they were all of this type, but he didn't expect the species here to be so diverse.

But that doesn't affect his kills in the slightest.

He threw out the hook chain and hooked the huge iron helmet of another pigman's hook hand, and pulled it hard, and the moment the rope became tight, there was a whipping sound.

The pig hooker probably didn't expect that it would be fine if he didn't hook others, but he was hooked by others.

It was obviously big in head and small in body, and Tardif's irresistible force was pulled forward by this tug.

Tardiff rushed up and swung the axe. Instead of cutting anywhere else, he slashed at the unarmored right arm of the pig hooker. He chopped off the pig's hand and dropped the hook to the ground.

The hooked pig lost its hook, just as the West lost Jerusalem.

The pigman, who had lost the ability to fight back, was hacked to death by Tardif with an ax within a few hits.

What armor?Wouldn't it be enough to cut at the place where there is no armor!
On the other side, Lance had already hacked the Pigman Slayer to death. In fact, he just rushed forward and hit him with the axe. Tardiff couldn't get in, but with the blessing of Lance's brute force, it was nothing to stop him.

The first stroke of the ax penetrated the entire surface of the ax and directly opened the pig's head. The second stroke of the pig's brain was cut open, so there was no possibility of survival. After all, the pig was not a member of the ancestor.

Boudica also dealt with the enemy. The wooden shield of the pigman's hook was broken by her just the second time, and the halberd pierced through his body.

The pigman was crippled and dead, and his head was replaced by Disma's second shot. His brain turned into paste and flowed out from the bullet hole. It seemed that even the tenacious vitality of the monster could not resist the power of gunpowder.

Now it's exactly what it should be - a quiet lump of rotten meat.

The battle may actually take three to five minutes from the beginning to the end, which is the actual situation of most small-scale battles.

"Check for injuries."

While Lance was talking, the flames suddenly appeared in the darkness, directly extending a circle of light, causing the few people who were accustomed to the darkness to subconsciously blink to avoid it.

However, the light of the fire is mild, not as hot as the sun, and it just takes a blink of an eye to get used to it.

It was not difficult for them to fight just now. The pigman looks hideous, but in fact he is not strong, as can be seen from the encounter just now.

"I think this hooked pig is too weak, next time I will deal with the big pig!"

Boudica was obviously not satisfied yet, and seemed a little dissatisfied, kicking the hooked pig in front of him away.

"What's really scary about these monsters is not their fighting ability, but their weapons and bodies are carrying countless viruses and bacteria. As long as you are injured, there is a high probability of getting sick, wound infection, and even if you don't die in the end. have to be amputated."

As soon as she said this, Boudica became honest in an instant. The time when she was blind was really torture for her. She couldn't imagine her life after amputation, so how could she fight?

"But don't worry, I'm still here. Even if you are injured, as long as you deal with it in time, you will be fine. Therefore, you must check whether you are injured after the battle. If you find it, speak up quickly, and don't delay the treatment time. "

Tardiff was also a little surprised when he heard this. It is normal to get injured in this business, but he usually handles it by himself. This is the first time he has encountered an employer like a lord who is responsible for both logistics and treatment, and pays a lot of money.

"The equipment of these pigmen has a close relationship with cultists..."

This is the first time for Lance to come into contact with pigs in real life. To quickly understand their situation, they need to examine these pigs more carefully.

"Damn it, we haven't fully unified our equipment, but these pigmen have unified first. Don't they still have blacksmith pigs?"

These pigmen were mentioned in the previous meeting, and Disma found that the equipment on these pigmen is very uniform.

The knife pig is wearing the same weapons as Geralt described, and the transformation and equipment of the two hook pigs are also highly similar.

"The knife pig's disc belt and rags and leather are the equipment of those cultists. It is obvious that these pigmen have a lot to do with the Ascension Sect, and these equipment may be provided by them."

Lance doesn't really care about this. He is now focusing on the hooked pig. After removing the weird hood, there is also a pig's head underneath, but it looks a little deformed, and then there are traces of transformation on the body.

There is nothing special about the body structure of the knife pig and the hook pig, but they are very cautious about the disabled pig Lance, and they don't even dare to touch it directly, just use the dagger to cut and move.

It's not that he's afraid of infection. His [Natural Purification] feature can get rid of most diseases and toxins. It's just that his appearance makes people feel physically and psychologically disgusting.

"The human-shaped face on the pig's chest can tell that those monsters are all monsters created by the cultists using magic. They are sick hybrids of humans and pigs, a kind of forcefully fused and distorted flesh using magic. Their crime against the laws of nature."

From the knife pig to the hook pig, and finally to the disabled pig, Lance probably saw a series.

Knife pig is considered the most successful transformation, with a strong body, rough skin and thick flesh, and also has human-structured arms, which can hold weapons, and the lower limbs can also support the body and perform various activities.

The hook pig may have some problems with the ritual, and its development cannot reach the level of the knife pig, so it can only use waste for physical transformation.

As for the disabled pig, it is the most failed work. Its deformed body is not even worth transforming, because it can't even walk normally.

Of course, it is also possible that the product is constantly iteratively updated. From the crippled pigs that failed the experiment at the beginning, the third batch of knife pigs were improved after the ancestors improved.

Lance guessed like this. It doesn't matter whether the truth is true or not. Anyway, they all have to die, so there is no need to entangle this.

　Thank you [Peerless Mad King] for the 100 reward.
