Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 343 342. Tracking
The broken carriage revealed abnormal information.

Lane was less sensitive to the information, but Henrik and Gascoigne tensed.

Abnormality is information beyond common sense, and it means danger for a profession like hunters who rely on intelligence to arrange combat plans.

"We have to find that guy. It has a very high degree of animalization. It should have become a four-legged walking posture. It would be too dangerous to leave it alone."

Henrik stood up from a half-squat, straightened his yellow mask, and made a decision.

Gascoigne nodded silently, and Lan En had no objection.

Every profession has professional ethics.

The professional ethics of hunters is: if an abnormal monster is discovered, the discoverer must complete the hunt and leave a striking reminder even if he is unable to do so.

Other hunters passing by may not be aware of the clues, and if left alone, it may cause unsuspecting hunters to be ambushed by monsters.

There is a big difference between fighting in ambush and fighting in ambush.

Take the lycanthropy patient that Lan En solved within a few seconds as an example. If Lan En hadn't discovered it in advance, the battle time would have been extended to at least 2 minutes to 5 minutes.

And Lan En did not dare to guarantee that he would not be injured.

When you are attacked, you can really lose your life if you are not careful.

Henrik discovered the existence of anomalies, so he wanted to eliminate the 'abnormalities'.

"Do you want to look for them separately?"

Gascoigne transformed the long-shafted ax he was holding into a hand axe, and pulled out a flared musket from the lanyard on his back waist.

Different from the strategy when forming a team, this is a combination suitable for single-player actions.

"The smell of blood here is too mixed. Ordinary people, hunters, and monsters have all shed blood here. We can't use the smell to track the beast."

Under his eyes wrapped with white gauze, his nose twitched slightly as he made a judgment.

Henryk also agreed that he couldn't find the target from such a mixed smell of blood.The Yanan people are only sensitive to blood, but this sensitivity is not considered supernatural senses.

Immediately, Henryk was ready to nod and let the team disperse and search.

However, Lan En, who was still squatting beside the wreckage and pinching the blood that had turned into jelly from time to time, gave a different voice.

"Facing a monster in an abnormal situation, it would be too silly to separate the hands."

"What do you suggest, stranger?"

Henryk asked angrily.

Lan stood up, the cat-like pupils in his eyes constricted.

"Tracking doesn't have to use blood. I'm pretty good at it?"

"I found that guy's footprints, we can follow."

"Footprints?" Gascoigne asked cautiously: "Lan, do I need to remind you? We are walking on a stone and brick road now."

"There will always be traces, even if it is a stone brick road."

The demon hunter's tone is calm and determined. This is usually the tone that professionals will have when they encounter their own professional problems and have a clear understanding of it.

Henrik and Gascoigne nodded to each other after thinking for a while.

Henrik also took out his hunter's pistol, and the meat saw became retracted.

"Advance on alert, Lan En will lead the way."
-
In the demon hunter's extraordinary senses, the traces of the beast's claws scratching the ground are very bright bright red.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, or Yanan hunters like Henrik, the scratches on the stone pavement are just normal wear and tear that accumulates over time.

They couldn't tell whether it was a trace left half an hour ago, or a trace left a month or two ago.

Lan En kept walking, and he led Henrik and Gascoigne through alleys in the style of Yanan.Sometimes they will pass through the houses that are already in a mess.

The residents inside were either dragged out and killed by lycanthropic patients, or were dragged out and killed by hunters after turning into beasts.

In short, the scene will not be very good.

Among the houses, Lan En saw black powder scattered all over the place, as well as several fragments of wooden barrels.

In Yharnam, people literally put barrels of black powder in their homes.

This further reminds the demon hunters in other places not to play with fire easily in Yanan.

Tracking is an extremely time-consuming procedure in hunting activities.

In normal hunting activities, it may only take 10 minutes to kill the prey, but it will take ten hours to track the traces.

The efficiency of the demon hunter's extraordinary senses was very high, but Lan En still led the two of them to chase for three or four hours.

Following the scratches of the paws on the ground, Lan En's gaze slanted upwards, passing over the brick walls on both sides of the alley.

"Can patients with a high degree of lycanthropy still be able to climb walls with their ability to walk on four legs?"

Lan En asked in a low voice without looking back.

As the most experienced old hunter in the small group, Henryk gave a resolute answer.

"They can climb walls, but it's very difficult for them to climb walls. They can also hang on them outside of combat. But in the fast pace of combat, they mostly stay on the ground."

If monsters can run freely on the wall, it means that the battlefield environment has expanded from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional plane, and a huge change in processing methods and thinking is required.

The information Henrik gave was not that bad for the time being.

Lan En raised his palm slightly, signaling the two people behind him to stop.

The current terrain is a narrow alley, followed by a wider alley.

From one end of the narrow alley, Lan En and the other three could see through the wide alley at a glance.

From the witcher's point of view, bright red claw marks extend from the walls of the narrow alley, while the walls of the wide alley are clean.

"Obviously, our 'friends' are waiting for us at the corner where the alley widens."

Lan En drew the Lake Lady's sword from his waist, and subconsciously turned out a blade.

Gascoigne gritted his teeth: "The terrain is narrow, so it's hard to let go."

He's a hunter with a big axe, and he does feel limited in this kind of terrain.

Henryk has long been very calm because he has done a lot of work in this kind of terrain.

He checked the condition of the hunter pistol in his hand and reloaded a round.

Lan En noticed that the bullet was not made of common brass, but more like it was coated with a layer of mercury?
mercury?Wouldn't the high temperature in the barrel evaporate mercury vapor?
This is a bullet that has never been seen or heard of before, but Lan En already knows that Yanan cannot be judged by common sense, so he only thinks that this is a unique craft of the locals.

After both of them reloaded their bullets and checked the status of their guns, the three of them walked towards the corner of the alley together.

Henrik's hunter pistol was more accurate than Gascoigne's trumpet gun. He raised his head specifically, preparing to knock the lycanthrope patient off the wall as soon as it appeared in sight.

Lan En and Gascoigne, on the other hand, kept paying attention to their surroundings.

According to Lan En's prediction, it was just a monster with a slightly special situation. When Henrik shot it down, the three of them would be able to launch a strong enough offensive in an instant to make the monster lie down.

But when the three of them finally walked through the corner carefully, Henrik's finger was raised upwards, and the old hunter's eyes, which only showed a slit, suddenly opened wide at the moment when the finger was hooked on the trigger!
"spread!"
