Chapter 295 294. Entity
The next day, just like in Oriden, Lan woke up from the village elder's house.
But unlike Oriden where there are just water ghosts, there are evil beings in this village that can attract ghost dogs. Lan En didn't allow himself to perform [Memory Diving] as usual when he went to bed last night.
Early in the morning, before the sun was still high, Lan En had already packed up his equipment and walked onto the field that had been abandoned for two years.
This field is not far from the village. Even if you turn your head, you can see the smoke coming from the village chimney, at most seven or eight hundred meters away.
The presence of daytime demons at this distance could indeed scare the entire village into silence.
About half a kilometer in the opposite direction of the village, it is already the corner of Brok Leon Forest.
"Okay, let me see"
Lan En stepped on the dry and cracked field without any hesitation in his boots with external armor plates.
It makes a 'clicking' sound like dry soil being crushed.
The field had been abandoned for two years. No one dared to cultivate it because of the monsters, but it did not become overgrown with weeds.
Obviously there is no shortage of water here, and there is even a big forest not far away. But the fields seemed to be in constant drought.
"Supernatural power, no doubt."
Lan En murmured, first squatting down and pinching a handful of hardened soil, then stood up and looked around.
Beyond the field ridges are lush weeds.
He walked for a while and came to the corpse in the field.
This was the only victim, the widower. He died two years ago when the demon spirit first appeared, and until now no one dared to take the risk to collect his bones.
After two years of corpses being exposed in the wilderness, it stands to reason that only the bones should be left.
But now, the dry and dehydrated muscles and skin clung to his frame, and the clothes and body tissues were in a state more like weathering than biodegradation.
If Lan En were to describe it, it would be as if it had just been dug out of a pyramid.
The dehydration technology of pharaoh mummies is not as good as this.
Lan En took out the dragon bone dagger with a calm expression and began to make "caracara" signs on the dry and crisp corpse.
"Myolysis occurred before death. He was forced to perform excessive exercise, causing the muscle fibers to collapse. Dance of demons to death?"
Valyrian Steel The tip of the knife seemed to open parchment, exposing the remains of muscles inside.
Lan En's biochemical knowledge easily recognized the traces of muscle dissolution.
Various signs made Lan En certain that the type of demon spirit entrenched here was the day demon spirit.
"Mentos, retrieve the monster information. I remember that the demon spirit will not be far away from my corpse during the day?"
Lan En half-crouched in front of the corpse, but his eyes But he began to search for traces on the ground around him.
"Sir, day demons are not trapped around their own corpses. According to the data, what keeps them lingering is the resentment left in the place of death. This is not necessarily a burial ground. , but this must be the scene of the crime.”
“Thanks for the correction.”
Lan En expressed satisfaction with Mentos' correction in his mind. On the other side, he was trying hard to use his extraordinary senses to see if he could grasp the clues from two years ago.
Although this is a bit unrealistic, you have to try it.
While Lan En was looking down, the temperature in the field began to rise, like boiling a frog in warm water.
The heat evaporating from the ground is entangled with the cold air in winter, causing the refraction of light to become distorted and blurred.
The vertical pupils of Lan En’s cat’s eyes began to narrow in the eyes that he originally lowered his head to search.
"Oops!"
A sharp sound of a blade coming out of its sheath. That was the sound of Lan En suddenly pulling out the Sword of the Lake Lady from his waist, and then slashing horizontally towards the back!
The sound of rags flying in the air was heard.
The figure floating in mid-air was slashed across the chest by the Sword of the Lake Lady in Lan En's hand, but because it was not in physical form, it caused no effective damage at all. So even though his reaction couldn't keep up with the speed of the knife, he still drifted away on his own.
After Lan En made a horizontal slash, he turned his body around and faced the 'floating object' head-on.
It was like a half-burnt corpse pulled out from the fire, with tattered clothes and tattered body.
The hair seemed to be floating in the water, the entire chin completely disappeared, and the long and ulcerated tongue drooped out of the throat.
——Day demon spirit!
After it fully appeared, Lan En felt his mouth began to go dry in the windy winter.
"It's not that it can't be cut at all, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to hide just now."
If it were an ordinary demon hunter who saw the demon spirit in the daytime for the first time, and saw that it had no effect after he hit it, he would probably Start panicking and then lose your cool.
But Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly and he always remained calm.
Superimposed on his own observation ability, Mentos quickly noticed details that were easily overlooked.
The demon spirit during the day seems to be incompatible with the material world. On the edge of the outline of its body, the color of the surrounding scenery will turn into a vague gray-white.
It's like a conflict of painting styles.
But when Arondette slashed across the chest, although the demon spirit in the day seemed not to care at all, the gray and white color suddenly disappeared in the path of the long knife.
It has not been restored to its original state until now.
The [Evil-Destroying] attribute of the Sword of the Lake Lady is not given in vain. It is just that it cannot be encountered on the material level, so it is a bit weak now.
“Flat cuts can hurt it, but the efficiency is worrisome.”
Lan En quickly clarified the situation.
The day demon spirit, which had already lost its mind, was screaming and rushing towards the demon hunter.
Stepping sideways, Lan En nimbly dodged and avoided the direct attack.
By the way, after moving sideways, he quickly corrected his direction, holding Arondette in both hands and raising it above his head.
【Wei Mingren·One word kill】!
There was a loud sound of "Bang!", which was the roar caused by the violent flow of air driven by the blade through swordsmanship skills.
But when it hit the demon spirit, it didn't feel like hitting an entity. Instead, it made a whistling sound like a weapon being swung in the air.
The rotten female corpse floating in the air screamed with her throat missing her jaw, and her helpless rotten tongue flicked in the air.
A circle of sound waves that almost turned into a transparent sphere centered on it and spread to a radius of three meters.
Within three meters, sound waves of this intensity can even cause physical damage. Three meters away, ordinary people would feel dizzy even if they just heard it.
Demon hunters are not ordinary people. They are created to deal with monsters.
"[Arden's Seal]!"
Lan En stood outside the substantial sound wave, calmly sheathed his sword, and made a series of handprints on the ground with one hand.
Then runes exuding violet magical aura emerged from the ground and formed a circle.
[Arden's Seal], its effect is similar to a magic barrier or trap. It can cause the enemies in the circle to receive a stagnation effect, and force the demonic enemies to materialize.
The scream of the demon spirit has come to an end, and the [Aden Seal] just happens to trap it inside.
The body that originally looked like a poor TV signal reception now appears as a 'high-definition' entity.
The demon hunter has already lowered his center of gravity, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle of the knife with his right hand.
The cat's eyes were nailed on the demon spirit's body, and with a smooth sliding step on his feet, he maintained the Iai Slash preparation posture and got close to the demon spirit.
[Ashi Mingli·Special Skills·Ashina Cross Slash]!
