Chapter 721 703. 'Not good'
Lan En gently told the story of the deer-headed spirit. This kind of monster that hunters in this world have never come into contact with, unknowingly made the whole quilt The surrounded command vehicle fell into a deep and eerie atmosphere.
“In some places, the creature even became the center of local belief. Farmers living near their woods would bring sacrificial offerings to them, usually rabbits or birds, but in some places human blood It is also a traditional choice. "
"Therefore, in many legends, the deer-headed spirit is a kind character who helps lost travelers find their way in the forest or rescues them from bandits."
"Unfortunately, this legend has no basis in reality."
"In the eyes of deer-headed spirits, human beings are just a source of energy. Deer-headed spirits will suck away the vitality of nearby humans until only their bodies are left."
Lan En's tone sounded strange to the hunters, obviously it was The straightforward description gives people an inexplicable feeling of being ridiculed.
This is because the demon hunters have seen too much ignorance, superstition, and stubbornness in their careers.
The farmers wishfully believed the nonsense raved by the village witch doctor after taking hallucinogens, and were unwilling to believe the advice of a professional who made a living by hunting monsters.
Therefore, the vast majority of witchers, even if they are spreading knowledge to their employers, will unconsciously make their employers angry, thinking that the witchers are looking down on them.
But in fact, the demon hunter is not satirizing people, but ignorance and superstition.
This sarcasm, even if their faces are expressionless and their tone is calm, will make people feel it unconsciously.
What about the other witchers, Lan En doesn’t know. However, the few demon hunters who had contact with him mostly behaved like this when talking about monsters besides communicating with peers and knowledgeable people.
Among them, Geralt’s expressionless and neutral irony is the most irritating.
So much so that Lan En was slightly infected by their friends.
"Whether they are evil or not, one thing that is undeniable is that the deer-headed spirits can indeed be called the incarnation of nature. They have an extremely close connection with the forest and nature. Deer-headed spirits in relatively vast forests are often older than their peers. Bigger, more powerful, mastering more evil magic and rituals."
"Magic?" Guy's pointed ears twitched, showing an expression of discomfort.
“After all, how does this so-called deer-headed spirit establish a connection with the forest? Through some kind of hormone it secretes? Or build a food chain centered on it? There must be traces, right? ”
The dragon tribe has a long lifespan, and is hardworking and kind. Therefore, although Guy is a powerful hunter who can use an insect stick to adventure alone in the New World, this does not prevent him from being a qualified scholar.
His thoughts and ideas are typical of ecologists in this world.
But reason and logic are sometimes not omnipotent and universal in magic.
Lan spread his hands in the face of Guy's question: "This is magic, uncle. As long as it sets foot on the natural land and sets up a totem on that land, it will naturally establish a connection with the land. . It has nothing to do with hormones or ecological chain construction.”
“And this deer-headed spirit is incredibly powerful. Although we don’t know the final outcome of its battle with the Nergigante, it even He can bury his claws into the chest of the Nergigante to dig for precious jade."
Lan En said in a solemn tone: "I estimate that it has probably established a connection with a certain land in the New World, and then started from there. It draws strength from the natural ecology."
The commander-in-chief also intervened at this time: "If it is a creature that can draw strength from the prosperity of nature, then it is indeed qualified to be ranked at the same level as the ancient dragon. . Especially in the new world where the ecology is so prosperous.”
"Ah, it's difficult." Wen De covered his forehead and sighed.
"The Molten Mountain Dragon is about to explode, the Deer-headed Spirit is about to invade, and a war-crazy Nergigante is turning out to be three ancient dragon-level creatures. What kind of trouble is this?!"
“That’s not all.” Guy made a stab at the side with an expressionless expression.
“According to my observation, the original route of the Molten Mountain Dragon was not towards the Earth Corridor at all, but was supposed to be going to a place where it could die peacefully. It was given the power by something or a force. Distorted the direction of progress. ""And the guy who can distort the route of an old lava dragon to choose the place of death, we haven't even investigated that thing or the true body of energy."
Shocking news one after another broke out today as if it was worthless.
This made both the hunters and Lan a little confused.
Why did you suddenly go from leisurely hunting and investigation activities to rushing to save the entire New World?
Facing the young hunters who were even shocked into a daze, the experienced commander-in-chief restored his calm mental state and expression in a short period of time.
When the Hunter Guild dispatched the first phase of the regiment, it was a huge trust in itself to appoint him as the commander-in-chief.
And obviously, he is capable enough to bear this kind of trust.
"No matter what, do things one by one. To deal with multiple ancient dragons at once, even in the Old Continent, it would require mobilizing the actions of several countries. The investigation team does not have the ability."
The dark-faced and white-haired commander-in-chief spoke in an orderly manner, and this tone quickly infected the young hunters.
"The action of the Molten Mountain Dragon is imminent, and the damage caused is the most unacceptable, so the target is obvious."
He slammed the table hard, raised his head and looked at him with blazing eyes.
"I declare! The Molten Dragon interception operation begins now! All personnel activities of the investigation team will be launched for this purpose!"
"We must not let this big guy enter the Earth Corridor!"
Unlike all armies in the feudal era, the commander-in-chief did not hide this dangerous and difficult combat goal from his subordinates.
On the contrary, he held a meeting and released all the current information to the investigation team.
Let everyone understand their next plan, what difficulties they will face, and why they are fighting against several ancient dragon-level creatures.
The investigation team's reaction was just as he expected.
"Since it is for the ecology of the entire New World, there is no reason not to do our best."
"Although it feels a little wrong to drive away the Molten Mountain Dragon from the 'tour' route before it died. , but since it is a distorted route, let’s do it! This is what we hunters do!”
No one will back down, even if they have to face the legendary The ancient dragon made people tremble with fear, but no one took a step back in front of the concept of 'protecting the ecology'.
Even technicians, even little old men and old ladies among scholars.
"Not good, not good." Lan En and Wind stood among the crowd. The demon hunter scratched his head, feeling a little distressed.
“It made me ignite, to be honest.”
However, the demon hunter said ‘not good’, but there was a slight curl in the corner of his mouth. , arc of excitement.
