The Divine Hunter

   Chapter 41 Under the Horn Tree

  What is the "Shusha"?

   is the sound of salt particles sliding down the fingers.

  The first quarter moon illuminates the House of Cardell. Under the tall horn trees in the courtyard, there are three silhouettes of people wrapped in thick cotton clothes. They immersed their heads in front of the hornbeam held by several people, with a torch in their hands, letting the white salt between their fingers scratch the rough bark...

After a while, the intact bark cracked a strangely and quickly enlarged, and gradually became like an opened vertical pupil, suddenly rounded, huh-the corners of the eyes were pulled open to the sides, and the hornbeams were on the ground. An elliptical tree hole half human height was formed.

  Roy took a photo of the torch towards the entrance of the cave, and a soothing **** extending downwards was seen. The **** was covered with vines, broken leaves, dead branches and soil, and at the same time a strong smell of earth wafted from the entrance of the cave.

"What should I do next?" Roy turned and glanced at the two ladies in pink cotton-padded clothes. He also wore pink cotton-padded clothes. He looked funny, but there was no way. There were two women living in the whole school. They were willing to share. A cotton coat is good for myself.

  He still wants to listen to the demon hunter’s advice.

"Don't you tell me, then let me say! Three people can't go down at the same time..." Roy said solemnly. "

  "I have to go down..." Roy took a deep breath. There was still a big killer hidden in his space. According to the demon hunter's notes, he had every chance to kill the monster.

"This is my territory. I have been occupied by the dog for so long, and I have stolen some of my children. This is a good calculation!" The middle-aged woman dropped a word with a serious face, and she was short. Sliding in down the slope.

  "Then you stay outside!" Roy got into the tree hole before Vivien opened his mouth. "Relax, Sister Vivien, I will help you bring him out!"

  ……

  Roy held a torch in one hand, and slid across the dark corridor with the soft **** in the other.

  Slid down less than ten minutes (3 meters), and he landed smoothly.

  The next second, the short boots on the feet were wet, and there was water on the ground under the tree hole, which just submerged the ankles, but the water was cold to the bone. Roy couldn't help taking a cold breath, shivering all over. No wonder the demon hunter would make him wear more clothes, and the temperature in the tree hole was seven or eight degrees lower than outside.

  The torch swayed around, Roy saw Cadell not far ahead, bent his knees and squatted to maintain a guard posture, quietly hooking towards him.

  And what they were in was a dim underground space. The surrounding walls were covered with slimy mud, slippery moss and vines, and the ponds were full of strange-shaped rocks.

  In addition to the more spacious space in the center, there are several narrow holes in the corners on all sides. How narrow are they? People can only crawl on their hands and knees on the ground. From time to time, weird frogs and snake hissing came from these holes, rippling back and forth between the central stone walls.

  Roy can't imagine, is there such a space under the hornbeam, or was it created by the monster called the Hunter Ghost?

  He waded through the dirty and cold groundwater and came behind Cardell, glanced at the holes everywhere, and a terrifying thought emerged in his heart?

  Is it possible that there is a child hunter in every hole?

  No, the demon hunter will not pit his apprentice so much. If this is the case, he will definitely mention it in his notes.

  So the hunter was in one of the holes, strangling the newest prey with vomit.

Roy and Cardell exchanged glances. The latter raised his chin to the nearest hole and silently took out a dagger from his waist. The dagger was evenly smeared with small salt particles, and the other hand held a torch. , Got in when he was short.

  Roy followed closely behind. Inside the hole is a narrow and cramped tunnel with a height of no more than two minutes. The trousers that just climbed into the calf were soaked with ice water, and the sticky soil on both sides of the wall clung to the shoulders, making it extremely inconvenient to move.

  The two of them crawled in cautiously, converging their breathing. From time to time, there were "hissing" grotesques and erratic air currents coming from the front and back passages.

  This makes Roy feel terrible, his face is tight, and the atmosphere does not dare to breathe. If the monster sneaks from behind the **** in this awkward position, how can he resist?

  He could only look back, lest a grimace suddenly appeared in the dark tunnel.

   Soon, the two climbed to the deepest part of the tunnel without any risk, in a slightly drier spherical nest covered with branches and leaves and small animal bones.

Although there is no child hunter, there are traces of its feeding in the nest. Human bones, small skulls, leg bones, and spine bones are piled in disorder in every corner. The size is much slender than an adult, and the surface is still dyed strangely. yellow.

  Obviously belongs to children.

  Kadell picked up a bone, her face was murderous, and her teeth were about to smash. She may have other purposes in creating the school, but she did not have any reservations about treating students.

  They quickly searched for two more holes, and each time they searched one place, they hugged the deceased’s bones to the entrance of the hole as a mark.

  When I reached the fourth hole, I heard a clear grunt halfway through the climb, as if something was vomiting.

  They held their breath, the fire light shone forward, and a ghost appeared in the darkness.

  A slender human figure, with dark silt and moss on his skin, with slender limbs like branches, lying on a corner of the nest like a dog, facing a bunch of bulging things, spewing yellow fluid intermittently.

When    was illuminated by the fire, it immediately turned its face. The cheeks were dry and thin like skeletons, the two dark nostrils were sunken inward, and the pale eyes were bloodshot, full of hostility and madness. Its mouth was plucked out of its upper and lower lips, and its gums were exposed, because it had just vomited and its teeth were covered with translucent saliva.

  It was frightened by the fire, and in the blink of an eye, it retracted into the shadow in the nest like a spider.

  The two quickly chased after carrying torches, but they didn't find the thing.

  Roy kept a vigilant glance, while Cardell digs at the ball of vomit frantically. Actually shaved out a little golden head,

   "Hey, child, can you hear me?" Kadell wiped the dirt off his face with his hand, revealing a thin, delicate face, and the boy's eyelids moved twice.

  Roy looked at this face, and the fog in his mind was instantly lifted...a dusty memory became alive again.

  He suddenly realized,

   "I remember, it turns out that you are missing, little Tom!"

  The little boy who greeted him on the first day, the orphan with a bright smile and two big front teeth, who lived in school.

  Has more than half a month at Cardell’s House. Every day after school, this guy will review with him. The two of them have a little friendship... "I almost completely forgot about you."

  He rubbed the child's head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend, the previous tension and fear disappeared suddenly, and his mood was uplifted. "Fortunately, we arrived in time this time! How do you feel, little Tom?"

   "Roy? Principal Cardell? What's wrong with me?" Tom opened his eyes in a daze, his voice weak, "Little..."

"What did you say?"

   "Small... above the heart!"

  噗——

  A ghost fell from the ceiling without warning, threw Roy down, crumpled it up, and rolled around twice.

  One volt together.

  It has the upper hand, sitting on Roy and raising his right paw. Under the firelight, those awl-like slender and sharp nails, shimmering with cold light, suddenly swiped towards the neck——

  With the other hand, he stopped his wrist halfway.

  Roy's abrupt left hand grasped the claw that struck, while his right hand grabbed a filled crossbow arrow out of thin air, clenched his fingers tightly, and **** the arrow into its eye socket first.

   "Woo——Woo——"

The hunter ghost made a weird cry like a baby crying, billowing white smoke and dark green blood flowed out of the eye sockets, suddenly burst out a huge force, broke free of Roy's hand, screamed frantically and rushed to the side. Into the tunnel.

  It wriggled in the tunnel with an extremely awkward posture, like a slippery loach, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

   "Roy, you take Tom out first and leave this thing to me!"

  Kadell dropped his words, carrying a dagger and a torch, and chased him along the bloodstain.

   "Whh... it's dangerous, I almost capsized the boat in the gutter!" Roy breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, the sharp claws pierced his throat, and then everything was meaningless.

  "Are you...injured?" A weak greeting came next to him.

"Tom, don't worry, I have nothing to ass." Roy wiped the cold sweat from his face and quickly rescued the boy from the sticky vomit. He didn't know what the vomit was and how it tasted It also looks a bit like boiled cheese. Roy rubbed a ball of his fist casually and stuffed it into the space.

   Then he climbed out of the tunnel with Tom on his back. There was no twists and turns in the middle, and the hunting boy did not know which tunnel Cadell had driven into.

  Roy rushed to the entrance of the tree hole smoothly, pulled the vines up the **** and handed Tom to Vivien outside.

  The woman was surprised and delighted, and quickly put on a coat for the shivering boy.

   "Roy, you found..."

   "There is no time to explain, the monster has not been solved yet, I have to help Cardell and take care of him!" After leaving a sentence, Roy returned to the tree hole without waiting for her to ask.

Following the blood stains, he found the confronting two sides in the deepest part of the fifth cave. Both Cardell and the Hunter were injured. The former covered the **** abdomen with one hand, and the other hand shook the torch to protect himself. His face was pale. Obviously it won't last long.

  The boy hunter was also uncomfortable. He was blinded by one eye, and Cardell used a dagger to cut dozens of fine wounds on his body, but these wounds did not bleed anymore.

  Obviously, the salt on the weapon is far from enough to kill.

  Roy thoughtfully called out the crossbow.

   "Swish——" A cold arrow hit the hunter's knee. It trembled all over, bowed halfway, and opened its mouth at the sneak attack Roy, let out a threatening growl, and tried to rush.

  Roy ignored it, pulled the string and set the arrow, and another arrow hit its other knee.

  In a few seconds, the hunting boy will become a lame. Even if it can heal itself, it will take time, at least in a short time, it will not move faster.

   "Principal Cardell, get behind me!" Roy stepped back and continued to shoot the monster's legs.

  Kadell was puzzled when he heard the words, but still followed Roy's words, maintaining a defensive posture, slowly backing with him.

At the moment, the scene becomes two people retreating into the tunnel, and the hunting ghost is hiding in the innermost of the lair. After a distance of twenty years, the ugly face like a skeleton is grinning at the two people constantly, and the black claws like evil ghosts. Waving frantically in the air, making a threatening gesture.

  It is like a mad dog provoked by humans. Even if it is full of anger, it is scrupulous about the weapons and torches in human hands and never dared to rush over.

  When the distance between the two parties reached thirty, a green glass jar suddenly appeared in Roy's hand, and he threw it forward with a little charge. The glass jar drew a straight line in mid-air and hit the boy hunter.

"boom--"

  The glass shattered, and there was a short and violent knock instantly, and a brilliant fire broke out in the entire nest. The fire snake jumped and twisted wantonly, the air seemed to be ignited, and the temperature rose several degrees.

The boy hunter in the center turned directly into a human-shaped torch, with astonishing heat and light, and walked towards Roy and Cardell in pain and wailing. However, most of its legs had been abolished and could not catch up. The speed at which the two retreated.

  The power of the dancing star is amazing. Even the sparks falling from it will quickly ignite the dead branches and leaves around it.

  The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and after the tunnel, the entire nest is burning.

  It walked in the lair of flames for about two minutes, exhausted all its strength and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of coke.

  "Kill the Hunter Ghost.

  Get 100 experience points. "

   has retreated to the entrance of the tree cave, Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

   "We must hurry up and take out the bones of those poor children!"

  　 Thank you for your reward and monthly ticket support! thanks for your support!
