The Divine Hunter

  Chapter 88 Bug Corpse

  In the afternoon, taking advantage of the time when everyone was dining and resting, the witcher called Roy, and the two found an excuse to leave the convoy temporarily and went into the bushes beside the road.

   "Do you smell it..."

  Roy nodded.

  The convoy carrying a large amount of goods left Shire Village for less than half a day. Before they had walked far, an unusual smell of blood floated from the side of the road.

  "It is not a human being, it smells of insect biopheromone."

  Resso activated the demon hunter's senses. After looking for the scent particles and walking across several crooked-neck trees for about five minutes, he opened a clump of clover and suddenly stopped.

"His—" Roy looked at the scene before him, and couldn't help but breathe in a cold breath. Surrounded by waist-deep bushes, dozens of corpses piled up into a hill, and the faint stench and **** smell turned to the surroundings. Spilled continuously.

  Looking from a distance, they are gray-brown all over, like a spider arthropod that is hundreds of times larger.

  The temperature in winter is not high, and the corpse looks particularly fresh.

Roy and Resso did not hurriedly approached, but took their weapons and stayed vigilant and moved slowly. Then Resso used an Alderfa seal to blow the hill-like corpse toss and toss, confirming the monster in front of him. All have lost their attack power.

   "Why are there so many monster corpses in the wilderness? They are also gathered together. This is not like the behavior of monsters and beasts without wisdom."

   At Reso's sign, Roy squatted down and began to examine a nearby corpse.

  The corpse is almost as high as a human knee.

"The spindle-shaped body is covered with hairs... and four chitin carapace... There is no clear dividing line between the chest and the abdomen... There are four arthropods growing on both sides... The head is small, and the facial features are almost invisible. ..."

  "Andreiggong?" The demon hunter said tentatively next to him.

  Roy shook his head, "Want to mislead me? This guy does not have the iconic scorpion tail and chelate feet. It is clearly Qi Qimo..."

  Anderlag and Zizimo are insect-like creatures produced after the celestial spheres meet. They usually live in groups in the wild and attack other beasts and even passing humans.

   is also quite dangerous for the Demon Hunter.

  Speaking, Roy turned the bucket in front of him again. Different from the back covered with thick gray soft armor, the belly under Qi Qimo's body was soft and pale yellow, which appeared extremely fragile.

   "Fatal wound...in the abdomen, half of the body torn by sharp weapons or...claws." The smelly, green organs flowed all over the floor, and the four insect feet were covered with mud.

   "You can almost imagine it struggling violently before death."

  Roy reached out without disdain to touch the edge of the wound on Qi Qimo's stomach, his eyes showed a dignified look.

  Changed a corpse, and he continued to check.

   "The hard carapace on the back was covered with claw marks, and there were many sprains on the body... It can be judged that the murderer's strength is extremely amazing... It almost tore it in half."

  "Several head-sized holes were broken in the abdomen. The shape of the wound resembles the bite mark of a certain beast. The center of the bite mark is relatively flat, but there are jagged lacerations on the edge...It should be caused by canine teeth."

   "Huh? There is still one that hasn't died completely, and the insect's vitality is really tenacious."

   "Puff——"

   "Kill Qi Qimo, experience points +30."

   "Yes, just two magical creatures."

  Roy retracted the green-blooded arrow from the monster's petite mind, tore off a handful of weeds covered with light dew, and wiped his hands clean.

   "Are there any conclusions?" The demon hunter looked into it.

"A total of 13 corpses, which is almost the standard number of a Qiqimo ethnic group. That is to say, the murderer directly destroyed a nest of Qiqimo mansions." Roy's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of jealousy, "It has The claws are as sharp as a dagger, four deadly canine teeth..."

  "Is it possible that it is a leopard, a wild dog, or a little mist demon?" The demon hunter asked and inspected.

   "Leopards and wild dogs do not have that much strength, so cleanly torn Qi Qimo, but the characteristics of the small mist monster's teeth do not match, besides—"

  Roy’s gaze swept across this flat ground piled with corpses and green blood.

   "Intuition tells me that there is only one murderer! This clearing is obviously not the first scene. It is full of weeds and hardly any suspicious footprints can be found."

  The demon hunter did not ask about his murderer again, “According to your statement, you can destroy a Zizimo tribe alone. The fighting power is definitely not inferior to the demon hunters in their heyday... Do you want to continue?”

Roy was embarrassed, "I'm afraid we can't help. The slow-moving convoy may be attacked by this monster at any time, and we will suffer at that time. The investigation has to go on, at least figure out what that thing is for Defense."

  After finishing speaking, Roy knelt on one knee and folded his index and middle fingers to pick up a bunch of weeds covered with suspicious blood. Not the green of Qi Qimo, but the bright red blood stains of mammals.

   "I have to go back and say hello to Aaron first, lest they wait in a hurry, and leave the matter of tracking the blood to a professional demon hunter."

  ……

After    separated from Roy, the demon hunter dragged his injured leg, limped on his crutches and walked for about five minutes, and reached the source of the smell of blood.

  On a piece of sand surrounded by a few bare paulownia trees, there are messy footprints and pits of various shades everywhere.

  In Qi Qimo's round hole-shaped, chaotic footprints, a few huge footprints of three toes are extremely eye-catching.

  There are also some unique shapes in the center of the sand-fist-sized balls, tightly packed like frog eggs, and some black and red blood vessel-like scratches are mixed in the whole green.

  But now, they are cruelly broken and flow out piles of viscous amniotic fluid, as well as the shapeless larvae of Qiqimo.

"Tsk tsk, kill all without leaving any future troubles." Resso rubbed a nearby slanted tung tree, just on the bark of the tung tree, not knowing whether it was the murderer intentionally or unintentionally, leaving a neat row. And eye-catching claw marks.

  Reso's eyes lit up.

  ……

  When the Demon Hunter returned to the convoy, the people of Sea Scorpion were already a little impatient, and Aaron came over to negotiate.

"Master, please don’t delay such a long time if you go out next time. After all, everyone is waiting. There is one more thing. I don’t need to say more about both of them, who have rich experience in wild survival, but I think it’s necessary. Just a reminder, that’s it during the day, and don’t leave the camp at night."

  After getting the two guarantees five times, Aaron was relieved to leave.

   "How is it, how is the harvest?"

  "After you left, I went back to the corpse site to check again and found some interesting conditions." The demon hunter stared into the distance, which was the direction to return to Shire Village.

   "Qiqimo's lair is not far from Shire Village, and there are traces of frequent activities between the two places."

  Roy pondered, "What do you mean?"

   "Those who died Qi Qimo still had undigested poultry bones in their stomachs. In addition, I found a piece of human clothing that was damaged."

  The young man's expression changed, "According to this, the previous village chief's guess was wrong! It is not the little dwarfs who harass the Shire Village, but this group of Qiqimo."

   Then he was full of doubts, "The murderer killed this group of Qi Qimo, instead of killing the people? This is too unreasonable."
