"Huh----"

Arwen exhaled a breath of turbid air and clenched his fists tightly.

A stinging pain flowed down the spine and into the limbs, the muscles began to squirm, and the body grew faintly.

With a wave of his hand, Dracolizard Golem standing in front of him let out a low roar.

The huge body shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, turned into a silver point of light, and entered Atamont Ring hidden in the right fist glove.

The passage fell into dead silence, leaving only the disgusting smell of burning.

Elena swallowed subconsciously, his elf-like blue eyes filled with unconcealable horror.

As the commander of Upper March, when he followed Marquis Luitpold to the palace half a year ago, he saw Dracolizard Golem presented by Ban Ade Magic Academy.

There is also the scene of burning the palace some time ago, which is also vivid in my mind.

And now this terrifying Dracolizard Golem appears in front of you, and is controlled by the black-haired demon hunter in front of you.

It's really unbelievable.

Arwen concentrated, the tips of his ears twitched slightly, and listened carefully.

When [Dual Souls]'s mental power increases, all movements within a distance of fifty meters can be heard.

The vibration of rocks, the direction of wind, and even the smallest sound of breathing can be accurately captured.

"Let's go."

Arwen Turned his wrist and shook off the blood on Thor Ivy's sword.

Elena finally came to her senses. She opened her mouth, but after a moment of hesitation, she did not express the question in her heart.

She knows what to ask and what not to ask.

"Wait a minute," she looked behind her, "Nigel them."

Nigel is the name of one of the two knights who followed.

Arwen said, "They are very smart and run very fast. From my perception, I can't hear any movement behind the rocks, and there is no sound of Ghoul gnawing."

"In the current situation, we can only choose to believe that they escaped."

Elena heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly covered his mouth and nose.

The hot and dirty air made her trachea ache.

"We can't stay here long," she whispered.

"Hmm."

Arwen looks forward.

It has to be said that the power of Dracolizard Golem is very amazing, and with the control of the mind, it is not a fan-shaped flame jet, but a condensed flame ray.

This prevented the flames from spreading over a wide area and destroying the pillars supporting both sides of the rock wall, causing the mine tunnel to collapse.

However, the high temperature still caused many pillars to carbonize.

This is indeed not a place to stay for a long time.

Arwen casts Quen Sign, and continues forward with Elena.

The corpses of Ghoul and Giant Ghoul can be seen everywhere on the ground, and even some carrion is still sizzling and oily.

Passing by a Giant Ghoul corpse, Arwen looked out of the corner of his eye.

Its chest was pierced by condensed flame rays, and its body was leaning against the rock wall.

Arwen touched its body without leaving any trace.

[Corpse Feeding Feedback] Triggered.

A faint scarlet light followed the corpse and penetrated into Arwen's palm.

Instantly, a stream of pure energy spread throughout the body, and the endurance that had been consumed by the battle was now restored.

Arwen felt it carefully. This skill combined with [Tawny Owl] potion greatly enhanced the endurance of the battle.

It is a very good auxiliary skill and is in line with the characteristics of Giant Ghoul.

After crossing the scorched corpses on the ground, we came to the fork where we met Ghoul again.

It's unusually quiet here now.

Elena said, "What should we do now? Do we need to go back and reorganize?"

She pointed at the fork behind her, and there was one way to come.

Arwen shook his head and said, "The source should be not far away. There are so many Ghoul here. There must be some terrible guy hidden. The next battle may be very difficult."

"Also, the environment here is dark and your bow and arrow will be difficult to use. Commander, you can choose to go back."

Elena hesitated and said with a smile, "Baron, don't underestimate me. My elf eyes can see things clearly in the dark, just like your cat's eyes."

"Also, I don't have the habit of giving up halfway."

Arwen paused, shook his head and laughed.

"Then come with me."

The two of them followed the sloping mine tunnel and headed deeper.

The further down you go, the surrounding temperature gets lower and lower, but the smell in the air gets weirder.

In addition to the disgusting smell of blood and rotten meat, there was also an extremely pungent, strong smell like rotten eggs.

Elena frowned, "What does this smell like? Sulfur?"

"No," Arwen shook his head, "It should be gunpowder."

As soon as these words came out, Elena's face turned serious.

"The smell of gunpowder means that there is no need for an open flame down there, then you----"

Speaking of this, her voice suddenly stopped and she did not say Dracolizard Golem clearly.

Arwen glanced at her from the corner of his eye, he was indeed a smart person.

That's right, using Dracolizard Golem's flame ray here, or even Igni Sign, is very likely to blow this place to pieces.

"It's not too late to leave now."

Arwen reminds you again.

Elena holds the hornwood long bow tightly, his blue eyes are bright.

"Let's go, I'm curious about what secrets are hidden down there."

Seeing this, Arwen stopped trying to dissuade him.

After walking down for about a hundred steps, we reached the end of the mine tunnel, and our narrow vision became brighter.

The wolf head badge on his chest began to tremble violently.

Arwen also heard the sound of intensive gnawing.

The two squatted down, stood on the high rock platform, and looked down carefully.

It is an underground open space about the size of a basketball court.

However, the sight in front of him made even Elena, who was used to seeing life and death, feel nauseous.

Arwen frowned.

The clearing was covered with a thick layer of red and black blood, which was made up of exposed bones and rotting flesh.

There were two Ghoul walking on it, their ankles sinking deeply into it, making a chirping sound.

In the four corners of the mine, there are several dark red blood scab balls as high as half a man piled up, and the shadow of Giant Ghoul can be faintly seen.

The whole place was like a huge and disgusting hatchery. Those blood scab balls were insect eggs, and they were even pulsing slightly with some weird rhythm.

There is a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and there is absolutely no spark here.

"How many more silver arrowheads do you have?"

Arwen asked in a lowered voice.

Elena weighed the quiver hanging on his body, "Nineteen silver arrows."

Arwen looked at the field, there were only seven Ghoul and two Giant Ghoul.

As long as the processing speed is fast enough, it will be enough to deal with the enemies here before the remaining Ghoul come back.

I took another look at the width of the hole behind me. If that didn't work, I could throw Dracolizard Golem out to completely block the intersection.

"You help me with this."

"Understood."

Elena has no fear in his eyes.

Arwen Put your left hand on the countertop and jump down.

The spiked boots sank into the bloody mud and made a slight sound.

Arwen blew a whistle, attracting Ghoul's target in the field.

"Oh----·----"

Ghoul turned towards him, showed a cruel look, and rushed towards his position.

"Whoops!"

Elena The arrow is shot out at the same time.

Arwen's body swept out, and the silver light cut through the darkness.

With the cooperation from the previous times, the two of them dealt with these Ghouls and easily killed them in less than a few breaths.

Arwen raised his left hand, and with a Aard Sign, he smashed the blood scab eggs in the corner beside him.

The Giant Ghoul larvae kept making hoarse sounds from its mouth, its body twitched, and soon lost its movement.

[Kill Giant Ghoul, get Giant Ghoul Mutagen 25%] 5!

Roar----

Arwen glanced at the panel.

Another Aard Sign, and another six Giant Ghoul heads.

Looking at another place, there is a blood scab egg that is a circle larger than Giant Ghoul.

Weird red pulses kept emerging on the surface, and the closer you got to it, the more violent the wolf head badge trembled.

Heart palpitations arise spontaneously.

Arwen first put a Quen shield on himself, and then used Aard Sign.

The fan-shaped shock wave exploded the blood-scab eggs around him, and blood spilled all over the floor.

But only this blood scab egg is still intact, and its surface is still covered with a dark shell.

"Buzz buzz----"

The strange red pulse became more and more intense, making a slight sound.

Arwen's eyes were silent, he held Thor Ivy tightly with both hands, and took a few steps back.

This guy has finished hatching and is about to come out.

"Tear----"

There was a crisp sound like cracking silk.

Spider web-like cracks appeared on the blood scab egg, and a hand reached out from it and violently tore the blood scab open.

Immediately afterwards, a monster half a head taller than Giant Ghoul emerged from the blood scab egg, accompanied by fishy mucus.

Its appearance is very similar to Ghoul, but its head has three intertwined white bone crowns like a crown.

Under the blue-black ulcerated skin, disgusting poison sacs swelled.

It opened its arms, stretched out its slender nails, and twisted its neck slightly.

Open your mouth slightly, the interlaced yellow teeth are like dense steel knives, and a long and narrow scarlet tongue hisses.

The scarlet self-light looked greedily at Arwen, in urgent need of fresh bone marrow.

Arwen's cat eyes shrank, and Kyle·Monster Bestiary, which he had seen in Mohan's library, came to mind.

Ghoul has many categories, such as Giant Ghoul, Bloodthorn Ghoul, etc.

There is a king among them, a powerful alien among Bloodthorn Ghoul.

Bloodthorn Ghoul King.

It has no fixed ecological niche and is a residue left over from the Conjunction of the Spheres period.

Not only is it extremely powerful and can easily throw away soil and crush bones, but the most terrifying thing is that its entire body is covered in deadly corpse poison.

Even a demon hunter with a high resistance to this corpse poison will cause his internal organs to rot and die within a few minutes if he does not drink the antidote potion in time.

"Elena, don't come close!"

Arwen Before his voice fell, his figure was like an arrow leaving the string, stepping on the bloody ground and rushing away.

Bloodthorn Ghoul King stretched out his claws and blasted the air.

Arwen swung his silver sword while dodging.

The tip of a needle is facing the wheat awn.

"Roar!"

Bloodthorn Ghoul King let out a deafening roar.

The surrounding blood scab eggs that had not yet been destroyed responded, and the immature Giant Ghoul emerged from them, staggering and rushing towards Arwen.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Elena stood on the high platform, perfectly demonstrating her elf blood talent at this moment.

In just one breath, three silver-plated arrows formed a Z-shaped shape in the air, drawing a deadly stream of light in the darkness. They accurately shot into the eye sockets of the three Giant Ghouls rushing at the front, directly penetrating their soft brains.

Well done.

Arwen praised it in his heart.

Without the interference of Giant Ghoul, he could concentrate on facing the Bloodthorn Ghoul King in front of him.

The latter had just come out of the blood scab egg and had not yet fully adapted to the body, so it waved its thick giant claws and smashed it on the head with a fishy wind.

Arwen With the right foot as the center of the circle, he can easily avoid it with a small spin.

The giant claw hit the ground from beside Arwen.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, and blood splattered everywhere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arwen pressed down in the air with his left hand.

Chaos magic power surged out from the palm, with Bloodthorn Ghoul King as the center, and six purple runic light pillars rose from the ground.

Yrden Sign.

Bloodthorn Ghoul King, who was within the range, subconsciously wanted to sweep across the position of Arwen with both hands, but his movements became very slow.

Arwen's eyes were cold and without the slightest pause, he grasped Thor Ivy with both hands and drew a perfect half-moon arc in the air, heading straight for the monster's neck.

"Qiang!"

Spikes emerged from its neck one after another, making the sound of gold and iron clashing.

Bloodthorn Ghoul King had a proud look in his eyes.

[Bloodspike Thorns], Bloodthorn Ghoul King's innate ability is as strong as steel and can be unleashed at will.

This ability is very similar to [Draconid Scale], but it is absolutely impossible to trigger it again in a short period of time.

Arwen turned around and changed the angle, this time the blade cut into the monster's chest.

The runes on the sword had a red-gold luster, and where there was no protection from Bloodspike Thorns, the thick flesh was cut open like butter.

The smelly black poisonous blood spurted out like a high-pressure water gun and scattered on the blue Quen shield, making a sizzling corrosive sound.

"Roar!"

Bloodthorn Ghoul King roared in pain.

It completely ignored the wound, and its long scarlet tongue was like a snake coming out of its hole, carrying highly toxic mucus, and pierced Arwen's face at an extremely tricky angle.

[Dual Souls] Use your strength to accurately capture its intention.

With his left hand, he pressed the special lock on his waist, pulled out the special silver chain made by the Witcher, which was about the thickness of his thumb, and flicked his wrist.

The silver chain wound and tightened in the air like a swimming dragon, locking Bloodthorn Ghoul King's tongue, and in the next second it wrapped around the three bone crowns on its head.

"Get down."

Arwen twisted his waist and raised his strength from the ground. The muscles of his left arm were knotted like a horned dragon. [Giant Bloodline] exploded and forcefully pulled the huge monster's body, causing it to fall heavily on its head.

Immediately afterwards, he released the silver chain with his left hand, pinched Signs with his fingers, and Aard struck out from zero distance.

"Bang!"

Bloodthorn Ghoul King's body was completely immersed in dirty blood, and the powerful impact blasted out a bloody ring.

"Crack!"

Bloodthorn Ghoul King [Bloodspike Thorns] at the neck is broken.

Taking advantage of the moment when the monster completely lost its balance, Arwen had murderous intent rolling in his eyes. He raised his arms high, grasped Thor Ivy tightly in his palms, and slashed an extremely sharp sword with the help of his waist strength.

The cold silver-white sword light goes from top to bottom!

"Pfft."

Bloodthorn Ghoul King's head with three bone crowns was chopped off by this sharp sword.

Black poisonous blood spurted out like a fountain.

The ferocious monster head had eyes full of fear and vicious hatred.

Obviously it has just hatched, but it has already reached the end of its life.

Elena stood on the high platform, shot the last Ghoul to death, put down the fully drawn long bow, his eyes full of awe.

He murmured softly, "This--is it over?"
