My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 126 Ghoul

Maybe the hunt two hours ago was too easy, and the werewolf didn't realize the attack from behind.

By the time it felt danger and wanted to avoid it, the three-edged arrow had already penetrated the back of its head, passed through two layers of skull and exited from the center of its eyebrows; another arrow had also been successfully embedded in its spine.

The werewolf fell straight down, crushing the wooden fence in front of it.

The noise in the camp quickly subsided as the two werewolves were killed one after another. The residents looked back in the direction of the tower with peace of mind and got back into their tents.

After being attacked again, only two people were slightly injured, the monster was also shot and killed, and most of the people's panic dissipated.

Two werewolves had their canines removed. Nick was worried that there was something bad inside them, so he ordered the bodies to be thrown into the gray fog outside the camp.

The priest looked toward the tower and gave a thumbs up.

Crown also noticed the priest's movements and waved the longbow in his hand.

He learned from books that although werewolves were transformed by humans due to some kind of infection, they could be divided into many types.

The first is that after transforming into a werewolf, you cannot change back to your original form. This kind of werewolf is relatively less dangerous, because you can tell it is a monster at a glance, and you can solve the trouble by killing it directly.

The second is to transform into a werewolf only on full moon nights.This kind of werewolf usually looks like a normal human, but only becomes bloodthirsty and crazy after transformation.

The most dangerous type of werewolf is the third type of werewolf. They can freely control their transformation and can choose not to transform even on a full moon night. This type of werewolf is the most destructive because it is extremely hidden.

Crown summoned the Golden Wall.

[Archery: 3456/5000; Level [-]]

After the attack by the cultists, he spent much less time practicing archery. He only practiced a lot in the past few days, and his proficiency in the skill increased to more than 3000 unknowingly.

Judging from past experience, a special effect will be produced after the skill reaches the third level. Crown plans to practice archery during the march to see what kind of special effects he can get.

All is quiet, nothing happens.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Crown came down from the tower, told Nick to let others take his place, and went back to his tent to rest.

After maintaining concentration for a long time, his spirit began to become exhausted and his concentration became insufficient.

. . . .

Crown meditated on the golden light spell for an hour, and most of his mental fatigue disappeared.

He walked out of the tent and handed over work to the staff on duty at midnight.

Under the tower, the priest and Geralt's apprentice stood side by side, talking about something.

Nick patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll get up early to take your place."

They said they were divided into two groups to keep vigil, but Croun's working hours were obviously longer than others, and the priest felt bad.

"Okay, come and replace me at five o'clock in the morning." Crown accepted the other party's kindness readily. "Geralt and Allen separated and followed the patrol. I will continue to stay on the tower."

Geralt responded: "No problem, but you should pay more attention to Alan, he is too young after all."

"Teacher, I am already a transcendent. If the two werewolves who were killed don't run away and fight me head-on, I am absolutely sure to keep them."

Allen argued dissatisfiedly. He raised his hand and issued an Igni seal, and blazing flames spurted out from the palm of his hand.

"Okay, idiot, save your energy," Geralt hurriedly stopped his students, "Remember, the first thing to do when encountering danger is not to issue the Igni Seal, but to immediately avoid it and use the Quen Seal at the same time. This is the advice of an old witcher!"

Crown waved the priest to leave, and then said with a smile:

"Ellen, I will try my best to take care of everyone on patrol, and I will not pay special attention to you. I believe that you can take good care of yourself as an official demon hunter."

Although he has become a demon hunter, Allen is just a boy under 13 years old. He is still at a rebellious age mentally and can only be treated like a docile donkey.

More importantly, preaching is useless. Broken bones are the best textbooks.

"That's right, I'm going on patrol," Allen replied arrogantly and ran away happily.

Crown looked at the young man's back and nodded vaguely to Geralt.

. . . .

I have been patrolling for three hours, and the freshness I felt at the beginning is gone.

Allen was looking forward to meeting some monsters so that he could show off his skills and let his teacher take a good look at him. He was no longer what he used to be. He was no longer the kid who was protected under his wings, but a capable person. Great guy.

"Why is there a corpse smell? Do you smell it?" Allen stopped, twitched his nose sharply, and carefully identified the source of the smell.

Hearing what he said, the men on patrol also stopped and twitched their noses.

"Wait, I think I heard chewing sounds."

"I heard it too."

Several men discussed, slowly retreating further away from the gray mist. They all raised their spears and turned to look at the tower.

As a demon hunter, Allen's senses are more acute, and he heard the sound of chewing when he just stopped.

From the smell of corpses and the sound of chewing in the night, he had already determined what kind of monster he would encounter, either a carrion demon or a ghoul.

Geralt trained him very strictly, and regardless of his boyish character, he did become a qualified demon hunter.

Allen took out the steel sword and skillfully applied the giant wave sword oil.In fact, the effect of using zombie oil would be better, but he didn't know what kind of situation he would face at night, so he only brought a giant wave that could adapt to any battle.

He cast the Quen Seal, and a pale yellow spherical light shield protected his whole body.

Crown had already paid attention to the stopped night watchman. He took out arrows and put them on the bowstring, ready to provide archery support at any time.

But before that, we still need to see what kind of wonderful performance the little demon hunter brings to him.

When he saw the Quin's Seal shining on Allen's body, he nodded secretly. It was a good habit to stack armor before fighting.

Allen's heart was filled with eagerness to try. He turned around and said, "You guys stay back first and don't help. I want to try my true strength."

He recalled the teacher's instructions, stamped his feet vigorously, and softly shouted provocatively: "Hey, hey"

These scavengers only like dark environments and hate light places.

Under normal circumstances, they will not fight with people in bright places, but if they are disturbed while eating, they will become irritable and will not mind rushing over to tear up those creatures that interfere with their delicious meal, even if they are exposed to the light.

Everything was silent, and the sound of the little witcher could be heard in the distance. Geralt heard the voice of his student and quickly looked up at the tower.He felt slightly relaxed when he saw that the man at the top was already taking aim.

"You two, be careful, I'm going to see what's going on," he said quickly and ran towards Allen quickly.

His steps were as light as a civet cat's, and he didn't make much noise while running at such a high speed.

"Woo!" A low roar came from the gray mist, and slightly heavy footsteps approached the camp step by step.

The gray mist rolled, and a calf-sized humanoid creature standing on all fours that looked like it had been skinned came out.

Allen, a ghoul, was even more excited. He had never killed a monster alone.

The ghoul's forelimbs are similar to human palms, but are unusually wide and have long nails.The hind limbs look like thick, curved legs of lamb, but they have hooves.

Its mouth has criss-crossed and crooked fangs, and green drool drools from time to time.

Allen shouted and slashed with his sword, and the monster roared and rushed towards the enemy who provoked him.

One man and one monster were fighting together. Crown saw Geralt rushing to the scene and jumped from the tower. He also wanted to try his own method.

Sun Flame Technique has not been tested in actual combat. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to try out its effect.

. . . .

"If you don't want to use the sigil, the quickest way to kill ghouls is to chop off their heads. You want to chop off the neck, not the skull."

When Crown arrived, he happened to hear Geralt instructing his students.

He saw several deep wounds on the ghoul's head, upper limbs and back. Allen's attack seemed fierce, but it did not cause fatal injuries.

The body of this kind of monster is different from ordinary creatures. There is no way to bleed to death. Their muscles seem to be just a layer of armor, and they may not feel pain.

Allen was very anxious. Of course he understood the monster's weakness. He could either use the Igni seal to grill or cut off the head.

The battle would be too boring if he used the seal, so he chose to use a weapon to chop off the monster's head.

However, he underestimated the speed of the monster and the toughness of its muscles and bones.

Ghouls also know their own weaknesses and protect their necks very tightly.Allen slashed several times, but was blocked by his arm.

Now that the battle has reached a stalemate, his original plan to quickly defeat the enemy and show off in front of the teacher has failed.

If he used the seal again at this time, he would feel even more incompetent and could only continue to attack fiercely to create opportunities.

Crown walked to Geralt's side and took out a few golden talismans, and then watched the battle with interest.

Allen glanced at one more person watching the battle, and his heart became even more anxious. He gradually lost his control when wielding the weapon. He was hit by monsters on the shield formed by the seal several times, and the aura of the shield became increasingly dim.

Geralt shook his head in disappointment: "Pay attention to the enemy's movements, don't fight blindly, and conserve your energy. The strength of this ghoul exceeds that of ordinary extraordinary beings. For you, don't expect to be able to quickly deal with it."

Crown asked: "Were the ghouls in the wilderness not so powerful before?"

"Yes, not many ghouls reach the extraordinary level. After they reach the extraordinary level, they will turn into giant ghouls. Giant ghouls are different from ordinary ghouls in size, strength, and color. The most important thing is The intelligence is also different, he knows how to sneak attack.

This ghoul obviously does not have the characteristics of a giant ghoul. It seems that the gray mist can also affect these monsters that have died once. "

Perhaps the teacher's words had an effect, and Allen's attacks became organized again.He no longer blindly attacked, and began to be able to leave wounds on the necks of ghouls.

There were more and more wounds on the ghoul's neck, and its attacks began to become more cautious, slowly moving towards the edge of the camp.

"It's about to escape. If you want to kill him, it's best to use the sigil," Geralt reminded.

Allen also discovered the enemy's intentions and immediately stepped forward to attack.This time he no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand to release the Igni Seal. Anyway, he didn't succeed in pretending, so just use it.

A pillar of fire rushed out, and the ghoul was unable to dodge and was burned.

"Woo", it roared sadly, turned around and rushed towards the gray mist.

Crown activated the golden light talisman and launched his own attack, hitting the monster in the head before it rushed into the gray mist.

A dazzling golden flame rose up, and the ghoul's head was as bright as a small sun.

As the golden light spread, the gray mist immediately emptied into a sphere, and the ghoul let out an even more mournful howl before falling to the edge of the gray mist.
