Chapter 293 292. Netherworld Dog
“Netherworld Dog?”
Lan En on horseback let out a low cry of surprise.
Under the lighting conditions of the underdeveloped world, or on a cloudy and hazy winter day, the view of the country road can be imagined.
It’s basically pitch black just two steps away.
Lan En poured himself a bottle of [Cat] potion in advance before he could continue on his way.
Among the current group of demon hunters, he is probably the only one who uses expensive potions on the road.
How many copper coins can a torch be sold for? It's useful for making ends meet.
Poppa was not uneasy because of the light. During training, the war horse would wear a blindfold to charge. It was very adaptable to being led around without a field of vision.
But in the darkness that submerged the entire world, a few faint supernatural lights slightly illuminated the surrounding fence of the village.
It was yellow like solid sulfur, but shimmered like radioactive material. The appearance is that of a short-haired hound, with blood-red eyes.
At this time, his slightly shining eyes in the darkness were looking at the two or three ghost dogs in surprise.
He has only seen this legendary monster that "comes out to chase evil" from albums and books.
It is rumored that unforgivable evil deeds will bring this dog-shaped monster from hell to the world to impose punishment. They are the legendary sentinel hounds of the wild hunt.
Their troublesomeness is linked to their numbers. Even the famous master witcher dare not fight head-on against the hordes of ghost dogs.
But with the current number of twos and threes...
Lan En slapped his mouth, turned over and dismounted.
He stroked Poppy's neck gently, telling the mare not to have a stress reaction due to the monster's chaotic magic.
For natural life, the discomfort caused by the magic of chaos is very serious.
After all, this is a corrosive and mutable supernatural force.
Wizards and demon hunters can be said to be human beings who have made benign use of "nuclear radiation". But the deterrent effect of 'nuclear radiation' on ordinary creatures still exists.
This is one of the reasons why these two types of people are generally unwelcome in society - when you are with them, you will vaguely feel the discomfort of being exposed to the magic of chaos.
The long knife, as clear as the moonlight, was slowly drawn out from Lan En's waist.
The sound of the friction between the steel and the scabbard turned out to be somewhat pleasant in this gentle movement.
The ghost dogs that were originally milling around outside the fence turned their heads in unison and stared at the living creatures approaching them with their eyes like blood gems.
Ignorant people say that ghost dogs "come to chase evil", but expert demon hunters know the monster's habits better.
The witchers agree with the theory that 'crime will bring about the gathering of ghost dogs', but they also believe that as long as they are living creatures, these monsters will bite them all regardless of whether they are guilty or not.
The three ghost dogs that confirmed the existence of living creatures rushed forward with a low roar like three real hounds.
With their agile bodies, every time they step on the ground, they will leave behind a ball of sulfur-colored flames that are similar in color to their bodies.
That is their netherworld fire. It can usually stay on the ground for a few seconds. There will be no good results if you step on it or get sprayed.
But facing such a mysterious monster, Lan En still walked steadily.
The smooth and graceful elf-style long knife in the hand swayed out with gorgeous knife flowers when the wrist was turned.
The first ghost dog jumped up and bit the demon hunter's neck.
Monsters in semi-material form are many times lighter than hounds made of flesh and blood, which results in their agility that can almost outshine a long-time hunter.
But faced with this light and swift bite, Lan En had no emotion in his eyes.
"Compared with Ashina's wolf who was stimulated by the water of the source and trained by the ninja. Well, he is quite upright."
There was a crisp sound of "dang"!
The dog's mouth biting Lan En's neck was directly bounced back by the clear Alondette. 【Celebrity Wei·Dengli】!
“Oh? The body structure is actually the same as that of a dog?”
Not only did it deflect the monster's fangs, but the superb Eastern martial arts made the Nether Dog's body fall back after the moment of contact, making it completely unable to control its posture.
In Ashina's battle rules, this is already a 'breakdown of posture'.
There was no need to adjust the direction of the horizontal blade. Lan En just changed his steps from a half-bow to a forward step, and directly carried the blade with his body like a blast of steel blades, passing through the Nether Dog. up the neck.
Alondette opened a gap across half of the opponent's body, and sulfur-colored flames escaped from the gap.
After a moment of contact, the Nether Fire in a Nether Dog's body was almost drained.
The monster's whimpering when it was on the verge of dissipating sounded no different from an ordinary dog.
Lan En subconsciously shook off the non-existent blood stains on the long knife, and looked at the two yellow dogs that stopped halfway with his slightly shining cat eyes.
Hesitation, hesitation, and fear.
The instinct to hunt living animals drives them, but the instinct to fear dissipation prevents them.
Lan En made a difficult choice for them.
"Ouch!"
The Netherworld Dog, whose head was grasped by the big hands wearing studded leather gloves, whimpered and screamed like a domestic dog that had been whipped.
Lan En's step sprint within a short distance was learned from Gu Yingzhong's ninja move book. With the strength of his legs, he could even be faster than the semi-material ghost dog!
The other ghost dog reflexively pounced, but when it was half way, Lan En directly grabbed the body of the previous one, pressed its mouth with the body of the same kind and pinned it to the ground!
With a dull expression, he held up the knife backwards, and then with a crisp 'pop' sound, he nailed the two ghost dogs that were forcibly stacked together.
Lan En stood up very calmly and inserted Arondette back into his waist.
"It seems that I am already a strong man, Mentos."
Looking at the full moon in the sky, Mao Yan felt a sense of loneliness as a master.
The biological brain inside the brain, the tone at this time also adheres to the main style, appearing indifferent and high-end.
“Yes sir, you are strong. But.”
The conversation suddenly changed.
“According to my meteorological records, there will be a wave of low air flow blowing from the lake every few minutes in this area, which is the so-called 'ground wind'. You really are not prepared to take advantage of this opportunity. Can you collect the ghost dust on the ground?”
The tall young man who was looking up at the full moon quickly ran to Poppai in the distance and took out the tools from the backpack on his horse. , began to collect the three small piles of crystal dust on the ground into the box.
The contrast between the front and back looks very embarrassing.
But Mentos knows: he still has to thank us!
As expected, the next moment.
"Hey! Thank you so much, Mentos. A small pile of ghost dust is worth more than ten orens! Just picking up money!"
The biological brain is very intelligent. I am pleased with the subject's frugal housekeeping.
Lan En's workmanship was very deft. In a short while, he collected the clods of soil stained with ghost dust. After these things were cleaned with the alchemical solution, pure ghost dust would be precipitated again.
After doing all this, Lan En stood up and looked at the small village not far away where torches were gradually lit and the villagers gathered at the gate of the fence.
The smile on his face gradually faded.
Under the light of the fire, the villagers had friendly smiles on their faces as if they were seeing a hero.
But Lan En knows very clearly that ghost dogs are indeed attracted to evil.
Three ghost dogs are not many, but they exist after all.
