Chapter 389 388. Forbidden Forest
“Did you gain something?”
Henrik smacked his tongue again and again, while rubbing past the body of the gatekeeper and entering the door.
Lan En pressed his temples for a while, and then quickly adapted to the changes in his new senses.
“Master William’s research seems to be making great progress.”
How far has this great scholar, Byron Weiss, reached in his research on [Spirit Vision]?
So much so that even one of his crazy servants could stimulate Lan En's [Spiritual Vision].
"If you have gained something, it will not be in vain. Keep moving forward."
Henryk greeted and walked down the spiral staircase in the door.
This spiral staircase can still vaguely see its original magnificent appearance, but time has passed by and now there are large cracks and falling stones.
Although the old hunter had not walked this road for a long time, he was also a frequent visitor on this road before Byron Weiss closed it.
So now, Lan feels that although Henrik occasionally hesitates and pauses in certain places, he will soon be able to keenly find the right path again in the comparison between memory and the current situation.
"Ouch~Crack"
A lycanthropic patient, whose bones had been deformed but still barely wearing clothes, rushed toward Lan En waving a carpenter's saw blade.
The Sword of the Lake Girl gently blocked the path of the saw blade, and a circle of dazzling sparks shot out.
Then, the sharp sword blade rushed forward and penetrated the mouth of the patient who had turned into a wolf's head. After being pulled horizontally, the hairy and deformed body collapsed limply on the muddy ground.
On the other side, the old hunter's meat saw knife was being pulled out with difficulty from the ribs of a lycanthropic patient.
It took a long time until the corpse fell, and Henrik had not finished cleaning the hair and bits of meat from the knife.
"A useful weapon requires a lot of effort to maintain, right?"
Lan smiled and stabbed Henryk, then waved his hand easily, revealing the dirt on the Lake Lady's sword. He disappeared instantly and put the sword back into its sheath.
"Even the residents of such a remote place have turned into beasts. This hunting night is too terrifying."
Henryk ignored the thorn in the young man's last sentence. He knew that it was a comment on himself. The irony of that knife.
But he is no longer old enough to argue with young people.
So, he only explained Lan En’s emotion in the second half of his sentence.
“The connection between the Forbidden Forest and Yharnam has not been severed, and the lycanthropy of local residents is not unexpected.”
"Huh?" Lan En raised his eyebrows, "What should I say? Do you want to say that this password is actually not obscure?"
Henryk waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with the password, but to do with livelihood. You can't count on it. The local residents live by hunting and gathering in the forest, right? Byron Weiss and Yanan are officially separated, but at the ordinary level, they still have to make money to eat."
Lan En touched himself. On this night when almost everyone was going crazy and it was like the end of the world, he was talking to an old hunter in a pool of blood about 'making money and eating', something very life-like.
This even made Lan En feel unreal.
“You mean they are smuggling?”
"There should be a smuggling channel, otherwise how would so many people live? It's just that those channels are probably only known to the locals, but on this night, the first to die are ordinary people who know about it. Hunters like us , so we can only honestly find the password."
The two of them did not struggle with these matters for too long.
No matter what kind of discord the locals of the Forbidden Forest have with Yanan, it is all within the social structure.
On this night, all social structures were torn apart by endless animality.
Henric continued to lead Lan En forward.
The natives of the Forbidden Forest have established a small, rugged and rambling settlement in the woods.
This settlement has dirty floors, dilapidated houses, and dizzying messy terrain. Although it is not big, it is easy to get lost.
And these are not the main problems. The main problem is-the locals who have turned into beasts are actually quite well equipped!
“Bang! Dang!”
Gunshots rang out and rifle muzzles burst into flames.
Immediately afterwards, Arondette, who was blocked by Lan En in front of his face, exploded with the sound of metal being hit.
Under the studded leather gloves, the palm of my hand could only feel the trembling of the handle of the knife. The force of the bullet was more than twice as strong as the ordinary firearms in Bianan City!
He even almost hit Lan En’s face with Alondette!
The witcher decisively ducked behind a slope, and on the roof of a wooden house in the distance, three gunmen shot there again before stopping.
"What did you just do?"
Henric's eyes widened as he was caught between the tricorn hat and the mask, and he looked at Lan En in shock.
But the young man also stared in shock at his palm, which was slightly numb from the shock because he had blocked a bullet. He was still wondering here.
“What ‘what’?”
Henric, who had been hiding behind the slope for a long time, kept gesticulating and looked very excited.
"You just blocked the bullet! Use your knife!"
The old hunter's tone was as outrageous as if he had seen a pig flying in the sky.
“What if?”
Lan Enxin said you are not talking nonsense! So you won't block the obvious gun line?
"Instead of talking about this, why don't you explain to me why the bullets in their hands are so powerful?"
In Lan En's view, it was normal to use a knife to block bullets with obvious intentions and slow speed.
But it is abnormal for a group of lycanthropic patients to hold similar guns, but the bullets fired are so different in power!
"That's bone marrow ash! Bah!"
Another bullet hit the slope, and the splashed mud hit the side of Henryk's mask, making him do Instinct reaction.
“The power of mercury bullets is greatly enhanced. It is said to be extracted from corpses. I don’t know why they have so many of them!”
The shooting of the three gunmen on the roof attracted the attention of the lycanthropic patients in the room. They waved all kinds of things, starting with the roar of wild beasts, and rushed out towards the slope.
Even an old hunter like Henryk will try his best to avoid getting into a one-on-many dilemma during a battle.
Just when he wanted to show his head, he used the hunter's pistol to knock down one or two first. But as soon as his three-cornered hat came out of the dirt slope, three rounds of mercury bullets mixed with bone marrow ash blew up three craters in the small dirt slope where he was.
Tactically, this is a simple combination of distance and distance.
“Playing with tactics, right?”
Lan En licked his lips and squatted down, leaning on the slope behind him.
Henric, who put his arms on his head to block the dirt, saw this scene.
"What do you want to do? You want to go to the roof. The ladder is at the back of this wooden house."
Before he finished speaking, the old hunter saw the young man running like a flying arrow to the ground. go out.
His legs were wrapped with spiral white airflow, which was a sign of the use of [Acceleration Technique]. Much faster than an ordinary patient, he bypassed several lycanthropic patients rushing over from the side.
He touched the edge of the three-meter-high wooden house roof with a single jump.
Lan En's athletic performance and his self-respect created a visible conflict. The skirt of the Bear School armor drew a full arc.
Lan En grabbed the edge of the roof of the wooden house with one hand, turned over and rushed to the roof!
