Hunters Are All Great Saints
Swift, Farron Dart rained down from the sky; their sheer number was enough to be described as Arrow Rain.
In the blink of an eye, the parasites gathered near the city gate were shot to pieces by arrows, leaving only mutilated corpses on the spot!
The smell of blood attracted even more monsters. Whether it was parasites or human blood, it would excite these ancient Sealed Object. Unfortunately, they were now facing professionals who dealt with aliens.
Before the first wave of Arrow Rain had even ended, the Farron Guard, transformed into wolf riders, leaped off the city walls, brandishing their weapons and charging into the enemy ranks. The giant wolves' bodies crushed the parasites like tanks, and the monsters that managed to escape were torn to shreds by the following weapons. Blood mixed with bits of flesh rained down from the sky!
The parasites posed no obstacle whatsoever; they stormed into the city, Execute all the enemies along the way.
The people who had just been rescued were stunned. The Rhett had never seen anything like it before; the Farron Guard, covered in blood, looked like gods of war descended from heaven.
If the Farron Guard hadn't all switched to helmets that exposed their faces, allowing people to clearly see their human features, people would probably have mistaken them for some cruel demon king's army!
Because in the past, when they killed demons, they often got carried away and their fighting style became increasingly reckless, leaving the entire scene a blur of red pixels. People they saved were often mistaken for non-human beings, so Da Er had no choice but to change his helmet to a style that exposed his face.
"Who... who are you?"
Someone asked tremblingly, and everyone looked up at Da Er. Judging from his aura and other aspects, he seemed to be the leader of this group.
Da Er did not answer the question. Instead, he jumped off the city wall and kicked the heavy, thick city gate.
The city gate slowly opened, and as he thought to himself how wonderful it was that the gate could be opened so easily, he said to the survivors, "Go outside the city; it's safer there."
People looked at each other in bewilderment. Although there might be wild beasts attacking outside the city, compared to the city that had already suffered a disaster, the wild beasts seemed particularly cute, so they all ran outside.
As Da Er watched the fleeing crowd, he couldn't help but recall the scenes he had witnessed on his way here.
After learning about the situation from Yi Sha, he and the Farron Guard rushed over without stopping. The reason for their urgency was twofold: firstly, Savis City was no longer a threat, and secondly, after learning about the situation in the capital, they felt that something might be wrong there.
As a result, the wolf pack arrived at full speed only to find the parasite outbreak had occurred. They happened to be there in time and naturally had to start preparing to rescue people. Thanks to Ur King's series of pretentious decisions, there were indeed no parasites in the suburbs outside the capital city, making it entirely feasible for people to temporarily leave the city for refuge.
There were nine Farron Guard present, originally ten, but Da Er sent Klan back to the Zane Dungeon to find out how to return to the Arnor Kingdom from Red.
As for the purpose, it was obviously to call in reinforcements.
However, although there were only nine Farron Guards, they had more than just those who came to help.
"Ugh, ugh!"
Suddenly, someone fell to the ground in the crowd fleeing out of the city, struggling and screaming in pain. Veins bulged on his body. The others quickly moved away from him, shouting, "Insects! Insects have crawled into him!"
Thanks to their powerful vitality, parasites still live in the flesh and blood of the monsters crushed and shattered by the Farron Guard. Breaking through the skin of ordinary people is no problem for them!
Once one case appears, another will follow. In the blink of an eye, more people show early symptoms of parasitism, collapsing to the ground and convulsing like epilepsy.
Just then, dozens of figures rushed out and charged at the parasitized person, shouting, "Let us have our way!"
Upon closer inspection, wasn't that Yi Sha, along with dozens of hunters from Savis City?
Initially, due to their limited strength compared to You Fei's speed, they could only stay in Savis City to carry out infrastructure construction and could not come to the capital with them. However, now that the giant wolves Farron Guard are broad-backed, bringing dozens of people with them is definitely not a problem.
If they had a choice, everyone wanted to fight and enjoy themselves. How could anyone be willing to stay in post-war Savis City to do infrastructure work? Without driving all the parasites out of Red, who would have the mind to rebuild the city!
But how can Yi Sha and the others save the people who are being parasitized? The capital city has a large population, and it seems impossible to give each person a Blood Vial for injection. Moreover, some people's symptoms cannot be treated with just one Blood Vial.
But it doesn't matter; only those who are deeply parasitized need to generously inject an entire Blood Vial.
For these residents who have just been invaded by parasites and whose minds have not yet been controlled, saving them is very simple!
"Bang!"
A crisp shattering sound rang out as Yi Sha threw the Blood Vial directly next to the parasitized person. Instantly, blood mixed with fragments of the container splattered everywhere, and the smell of blood, which could be detected by people, filled the air.
All the parasites suddenly stiffened, then pounced on the blood on the ground like madmen, licking it incessantly. However, the parasites had not yet taken control of their minds, and they could not sense the taste of this special blood at all, so they were naturally extremely anxious.
The next moment, the parasites, who were extremely anxious, swarmed out of the residents' bodies and rushed towards the blood on the ground. In the blink of an eye, a large clump of indescribable things formed by the intertwined parasites gathered on the ground. Yi Sha went up and threw a Molotov Cocktail to burn it to ashes.
Indeed, blood from the underground city has an extraordinary attraction for parasites.
If it's a parasite that has just infested the human body, upon smelling the unique scent of blood, it will most likely abandon the bland human body and head straight for the Blood Vial!
However, there are some stubborn individuals who will refuse to let go of the residents' bodies, and in this case, Yi Sha has a second strategy.
The hunters simultaneously made cuts in their bodies, and fresh blood flowed out.
So the stubborn parasites went mad and immediately abandoned ordinary humans to attack them.
Yi Sha and her group welcomed them all without reservation; they would kill those they could, and even if they couldn't be killed, it didn't matter if they burrowed into their bodies.
Using both methods together is enough to make the parasites stop bothering the residents who have no appetite, thus protecting people's safety!
The survivors were stunned.
First came the Farron Guard, who killed parasites as easily as killing chickens. Now, a group of hunters have arrived who would rather be parasitized themselves than fail to protect everyone. The latter seem to have brought even greater shock to people than the former!
"They... they're courting death!?" The crowd's voices trembled.
The local residents had no idea that the hunters would be free from the parasites' control; in their eyes, Yi Sha and her companions were risking their lives to save them!
They elevated the moral implications of this behavior to several levels; it was no longer something that could be described simply as being helpful!
"What are you all standing there for? Run!" Yi Sha glared at the stunned people. If they didn't run, the parasites would keep swarming in. Did they really think the hunters would emerge unscathed after the parasites crawled in? Everyone was in pain, you know!
The residents immediately realized what was happening. Some bowed to Yi Sha with tears in their eyes, said a heartfelt "Thank you!" and ran away, finally managing to escape the city.
Almost everyone had to thank the hunters who had stayed behind to act as human Lure Skull before running away; the scene was a testament to the high quality of human behavior.
At first, the hunters found it quite useful, but after a while, they realized something was wrong.
"Why does it feel like they're holding a funeral?"
Yi Sha quickly banished the ominous thought from her mind. Seeing that the people who had gathered here earlier had all successfully escaped, she finally stopped enduring the harm the parasites were causing to her body. While wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she assigned tasks to the hunters.
On the way here, everyone had already discussed it. The Farron Guard were responsible for violent punishment and clearing out the vast majority of monsters, while the hunters were to rescue the survivors and, depending on the situation, gather the city's forces to organize a counterattack. The division of labor was clear.
If all goes well, saving the vast capital city is only a matter of time.
The hunters were under Yi Sha's command, the Farron Guard were under Wesker's command, and as for Da Er...
He sensed something and went straight to the Royal Palace, Execute the rampaging parasites along the way, until he finally arrived at the place where Ur King was.
The King, now emaciated and mentally confused, showed no reaction to the intruders. He even slapped a scroll containing Chaotic Magic on his head, creating a bizarre scene.
Seeing this, Da Er took out Healing Potion and used a throwing Flying Dagger to knock the scroll out of the other's hand. Ur King was an important witness, and he couldn't let the other die.
But just as he rushed to Ur King's side, before he could even sprinkle the Healing Potion, the entire Royal Palace suddenly shook violently. The ground cracked open instantly, and the collapsing palace left Da Er with nowhere to hide. He could only shield Ur King with his body and withstand the collapse, feeling himself falling continuously.
"Boom!"
The Royal Palace crashed into the underground space, stirring up thick smoke and dust that instantly covered everything, including the roars of monsters and anything else.
The ruins trembled, and Da Er crawled out from them. Apart from looking a bit disheveled, he was not injured. Fortunately, he was physically strong.
However, upon looking down, the emaciated Ur King's neck had turned 360 degrees, and he was dead beyond any doubt.
"."
Da Er's lips twitched, and he suddenly thought it would be nice if this were an underground city.
Numerous dangerous auras appeared around him. He looked up and surveyed the vast underground space, thinking that this must be the insect's nest, and these dangerous auras must be the parasites.
But the next moment, accompanied by a roar that sounded like both a human and a beast, a surging wave of air instantly blew up the dust and debris, along with a large amount of the parasite's flesh flying in front of Da Er.
He couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
There stood a tall werewolf, its ferocious appearance terrifying, waving its claws wildly at the parasites around it.
It's not a parasite?
Da Er's gaze sharpened as he noticed that the werewolf was wearing tattered Yharnam Hunter's clothing.
Not only that, the opponent's claws were also tightly gripping the Saw Cleaver, and even while wildly swinging the knife, some method could be seen!
He probably understood.
"You must be the brother Yi Sha was talking about. It's truly remarkable that you've fought this far."
Da Er cast a respectful glance at Fan En, who was clearly a beast in every way, but his voice caught the other's attention. Beastmen can't distinguish friend from foe. Is a scene of infighting about to unfold?
Strangely, although Fan En's eyes were cloudy, he only glanced at the other person before continuing to kill the insects!
"Is there still a chance?"
Da Er realized that the other party did not seem to have completely lost his mind. If he knocked Fan En unconscious now and took him back to the Zane Dungeon, would it be possible to reverse the beast transformation?
He calmly took out a tranquilizer and slowly walked towards Fan En.
"Crackling sound—"
Before he could take any action, a strange sound echoed throughout the underground space, and everyone except him looked up in a certain direction.
It looks like something is breaking out of its cocoon?
He followed Fan En's gaze and saw the solid rock wall in the distance.
A giant insect egg throbbed like a heart, while a non-human claw covered in an insect-like exoskeleton pierced the egg's shell from the inside out.
Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the insect eggs, and an extremely dangerous aura emanated from the cracks!
Da Er blinked.
"Squeak--"
The insect eggs shattered with a deafening roar, and a burst of demonic energy, almost turning into a blood-red substance, erupted, symbolizing the birth of a powerful life form.
You Fei's face appeared.
Is it her?
No, it's this!
You Fei opened her eyes, revealing insect-like compound eyes.
The Parasite King has been born!
