Chapter 77 is the enemy
The Night Demon is dead. Some of the dark creatures gathered by the Night Demon ran away, and some continued to attack without any brains. The brainless ones are generally weak, and those who are weak The dark creatures were quickly dealt with. Instead of cleaning up the scene, Lei Meng and the others quickly came to Zheng Yichen's side.
"This kind of wound doesn't seem to be left by a normal weapon." John checked the wounds on the Night Demon and said with some amazement. Whether Zheng Yichen could defeat the Night Demon, they only thought it was possible before. possible.
John knew very well that he would not survive against such an opponent. He might be able to struggle a little while running away, but he would definitely be dead if he was caught.
But such a powerful creature was actually killed.
"I have a Hell Sword that I snatched from the Headless Horseman." Zheng Yichen said. The demon hunters present were all veterans. Even if he deliberately damaged the wounds on the Night Demon, he could not completely eliminate the traces. It was better to explain it directly.
"...So that's it." John took a deep look at the sword Zheng Yichen was carrying. No wonder Zheng Yichen had never used that weapon in many commissions. At most, he only used it once. The roots are very sharp and pointed.
The sword of the Headless Horseman, he has heard of it, and he also knows that the owner of that weapon will not die well, but now he can successfully eliminate the threat of the Night Demon with this sword, and he also It’s really hard to say much.
“Let’s leave quickly.” Raymond said simply.
Just because Night Demon is dead doesn't mean it's safe here. The most important thing is to run away quickly. As for Zheng Yichen's use of the Hell Sword, they are companions now, aren't they? The demon hunters are not members of the church. John's attempt to join the church failed. They currently have no relationship with the church and are not taboo about this matter.
After staying away from the battle area, Raymond looked at the map, compared it with some reference objects, and let out a long sigh: "If there were not these obstacles, according to the itinerary, we would be able to leave the dangerous zone in two days at most."< br>
But now the delay is different, and no one can guarantee that there will be no other obstacles on the way. There are scattered things along the way. They have encountered too many attacks from dark creatures, some in groups. Forming a team, some suddenly jumped out.
"The most important thing now is whether we want to give up this commission..." said the demon hunter in the team.
I learned that there was something wrong with the suppressant I was carrying. The bounty this time was higher than the last time I dealt with the vampire lair. However, after encountering a large number of werewolves and night demons, the nature of this commission changed. Yes, if they had known this was the case, they would not have agreed easily even if the bounty was doubled.
They thought they would encounter some dangers along the way, but they never thought the danger would be so great. Almost extinct night demons appeared, and no one knew what would appear next.
"We have come this far, wouldn't it be a shame to give up?" Another demon hunter said: "If we move forward at the fastest speed now, how long will it take to cross the dangerous zone?"
"It will take three days at the fastest. We have delayed too much progress." John hesitated and then continued: "If we give up the horse, it can be one day earlier."
With the horse, they have to go around some places. That's right, those places are inaccessible to horses, and without horses they can try to take a new path.
"Captain, what do you think?"
"..." Raymond stared at the black metal box in his hand, with anger on his face: "Give up the horse! We have all come this far. , no one is willing to give up, the best thing is to find the Dusk Church, we need an explanation!”
John no longer hesitated and took out the map: "If we give up the horse, we will go to these places next." When riding on horseback, they have to make a circle. After giving up the horse, the road will be almost a straight line.
When giving up the horse, Zheng Yichen looked at the horse that helped carry a lot of things. Fortunately, this time he did not ride the white horse that Katrina liked very much when he went out.
After taking away the things they needed to carry, their forward speed was obviously reduced a lot after giving up the horses, but the choice of route also became more flexible, and they could quickly pass the bumpy terrain they encountered. Generally speaking, the speed has accelerated.
There will be attacks by some dark creatures on the road, but as long as there are no elites and mini-bosses like werewolves and night demons, it is not that difficult to deal with them.
"Almost there!" John looked tiredly at a mountain in the distance, which was an important reference on the map: "We will be leaving the danger zone soon."
Zheng Yichen looked at the mountain , let out a long sigh of relief. Although I was tired while riding on horseback, at least I had a means of transportation. The accumulated fatigue could be easily relieved. But it was different when I put on my legs. I had to carry a lot of things with me, and there were also many dangers. The environment needs to be overcome, and the two days are the same as the previous week of traveling.
Coupled with the harassment from those dark creatures, Zheng Yichen felt that he had become more and more vicissitudes of life.
The beards on the faces of John and others seemed to have accumulated for two months, and there were even a lot more white hairs.
An arrow suddenly flew over and shot through John's arm.
"Damn! It's a human being!!" John, who was attacked, cursed angrily. He quickly judged the source of the attack, found a place to avoid it, and broke the crossbow bolt inserted in his arm.
He was still within the acceptance range after encountering dark creatures. Now he was attacked by people, which made him really angry. There is definitely something wrong with the entrusting employer this time!
Zheng Yichen hid behind a stone, observing the attackers who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. They were a cavalry squad of more than ten people.
The moment Zheng Yichen just showed his head, a crossbow arrow was shot at him. He quickly retracted his head and the crossbow arrow hit the stone. Zheng Yichen glanced at the tail of the crossbow arrow and was slightly moved. He curled his lips and realized that the crossbow arrows were not bullets after all.
He could still deal with this kind of attack. A cavalry team with more than ten people would be in trouble. Zheng Yichen touched the Hell Sword he was carrying, and Lei Meng, who was hiding in another place, also paid attention. When it came to Zheng Yichen's move, the distance between the two of them was not far. Raymond whispered: "I will cover you later and try to kill those people and steal their horses!"
"Be careful."
Raymond nodded, and made a few gestures to the injured John and the other two demon hunters. When the sound of horse hooves gradually approached, Raymond was the first to rush. He went out, and when he rushed out, he threw out two bags.
The cloth bag exploded in mid-air, and a large amount of pungent smoke poured out. The smoke was not a smoke bomb. It interfered with the sight of the cavalry, but the interference was limited. When Raymond and the others rushed out , the cavalry began to fire arrows.
One crossbow arrow hit Raymond's chest suppressor, and another crossbow arrow hit Raymond's thigh. John and others also encountered the same attack.
