"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ground shook, and every dull sound was accompanied by a large amount of gravel and dust falling from the roof of the cave.
Aiken and Lambert clenched the hilts of their swords, their cat eyes condensing into needles.
The fishy smell is getting stronger and stronger, making it nauseating.
In the dark shadow, two lantern-like orange pupils suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, a small mountain-like creature crawled out of the cave.
The size of an ordinary Basilisk is at most larger than a foal.
But the one in front of me, just the ferocious head with a beak like a vulture, is as terrifying as the wheels of a large carriage.
Below its throat, there is a large string of dark red tumors the size of a water tank, which are constantly filling with blood and expanding as it breathes.
The scales on the back exude a cold light, the crescent moon's membrane wings are slightly opened, and the hard feathers scrape against the stone wall, making a sound that makes people feel sour.
"Gods be the best----" Lambert showed fear for the first time that day on his fearless face.
The Adam's apple rolled violently.
"Damn it! This old guy Vesemir actually didn't lie to me. This Basilisk is really a fucking earth dragon!"
"Run!"
Aiken The veins on his forehead were beating wildly. As a demon hunter who has been in the industry for six years, he knew in his heart what monsters he could deal with.
When I saw the huge Basilisk in front of me, my inner alarm went off.
Push forward hard with your left hand and cast Aard Sign.
Extremely powerful energy burst out in a fan shape and bombarded the giant Basilisk.
"Roar!"
The giant Basilisk shook its body, slightly stopped its progress, and let out a deafening roar.
Extremely terrifying sound waves echoed in the cave, and the rock walls shook.
Aiken and Lambert's eardrums were about to burst and they were buzzing.
The former turned around and pulled Lambert's arm, like an arrow from a string, and ran as fast as he could towards the entrance of the cave.
Giant Basilisk has already been angered.
How could it let the prey delivered to the doorstep escape?
It spread its strong legs, put its membrane wings together as its forelimbs, and began to sprint madly.
All the stalactite pillars along the way were shattered by its brutal impact, making a rumbling thunderous sound.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
"How can this damn big guy run so fast!"
Lambert tried his best, gasping for air, adrenaline bursting, and still yelling.
Suddenly, there was a fierce wind behind him, followed by a blood-curdling scream.
The giant Basilisk's beak pecked hard at Lambert's back.
Lambert's pupils contracted violently, sensing the danger to his life.
This time, his internal organs can definitely be pecked out on the spot.
"Watch out!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Aiken stood beside him.
First, he pushed Lambert's body away with one hand and forcibly evaded the attack of giant Basilisk.
Lambert's body hit the stone wall, and the severe pain made his vision go dark.
But in the blur, I also saw a narrow gap in the corner of the cave.
The giant Basilisk looked violently and turned to peck at Aiken.
Aiken's cat eyes were fierce and he wanted to dodge, but he was too late to get off.
The silver sword was held in front of him, and his palms quickly formed the seal Quen Sign.
A translucent yellow magic shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Bang!"
The bird's beak slammed down, first with a banging sound, and then the magic shield made an unbearable sound like porcelain, shattering into pieces.
"Dang!"
The bird's beak went down and pecked at the silver sword.
The terrifying power was transmitted along the sword body to Aiken's arms, and his body was blown away and hit the stone wall, causing large amounts of dust and gravel to fall.
Aiken gritted his teeth and forced himself to maintain consciousness. His arms trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, but the tightness in his chest made him secretly think that something was wrong.
"Roar!"
The giant Basilisk roared, his eyes full of teasing and pride.
"Bang!"
A gray ball hit the ground and bounced up.
"Boom!"
A large amount of gray smoke exploded from it.
Lambert relied on his extraordinary perception to get out of the smoke and rushed to Aiken's side.
The light yellow cat's eyes indicated the gap right in front of him.
Aiken forcibly raised his strength, knowing that the smoke bomb would not bother the giant Basilisk for long.
Moreover, it is still quite far away from the entrance of the cave.
The two moved quickly and decisively got into the cracks in the cave.
"Roar!"
The giant Basilisk membrane wing swept forward, and the smoke was quickly blown away.
The ferocious body dived forward, the bird's beak pecked on the rock, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of gold and iron clashing erupted.
Fortunately, Aiken and Lambert have completely penetrated into the gap.
Behind the gap, there is plenty of space for two people to squat down.
The roar of the giant Basilisk continues to echo in the cave. The angle of the gap is too tricky, and it cannot get through at all due to its size.
Aiken propped himself up, leaned his back against the rock wall, gasped for air and made a hissing sound.
"Aiken----Boss, are you okay?"
Lambert asked anxiously with a disgraced face and a somewhat panicked voice.
"Don't make any noise, let me take a breath.
Lambert closed his mouth.
Aiken Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
I just withstood a blow from the giant Basilisk. It was like being hit by a siege ram. There were small bone cracks in both arms and all the ribs were broken.
Fortunately, I drank [Swallow] magic potion before and suppressed the excruciating pain.
Outside the gap, after the giant Basilisk hit it many times to no avail, it raised its head and let out a faint growl, as if it was summoning something. Aiken knew this sound, it was summoning other Basilisk to come over.
It can't get in, there are always a few smaller ones that can get through this gap.
Unfortunately, there is no way out today.
Aiken sighed and spit out the dust in his mouth.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lambert beside him. He usually looked carefree and kept his mouth shut. Under the threat of death, even if he could stay calm, there was still fear in his eyes.
A decision must be made.
"Listen, Lambert."
"Now, only one of us can get out alive."
"My ribs have been injured, I'm out of breath, and I obviously can't run fast."
"Wait a minute and I'll be the first to attract that damn beast. Find the right opportunity and run towards the entrance of the cave."
"Remember, if I don't survive, take revenge for me and kill this beast with your own hands!"
With that said, Aiken took off the wolf head badge on his chest and stuffed it into Lambert's arms.
"Take it back with you."
Lambert held the badge in his hand with a look of confusion on his face.
"Aiken, what nonsense are you talking about? You actually let me go alone?"
Aiken smiled bitterly, "I promised Vesemir that I would bring you back to Kyle Mohan intact, and I can't break my promise."
"Didn't you already take a fancy to my room? When you go back, that room will be yours."
"Heh," Lambert laughed strangely, "You want to be a hero? Then I'll really fucking leave you alone. You know, I'm just a heartless person. If I say I'm going to run, I'm going to run."
"Shut your stinky mouth and take a good look. My swordsmanship is among the best among the apprentices back then."
Lambert twisted the corner of his mouth, punched the stone wall, and gritted his teeth.
"What the hell! If you want me to run away alone, stop dreaming. I can't afford to lose this person!"
"I told you before I entered the cave that one day I will become one of their feces."
"If you want to die, let's die together."
Aiken Hearing this, the cat's eyes suddenly shrank.
Recalling his own appearance back then, he would be willing to die for his companions, even if he didn't talk so much nonsense.
The demon hunter apprentice in front of him has some shadow of the demon hunter.
"Heh----"
Aiken laughed out loud, recognizing the other party from the bottom of his heart.
"Hisssss----"
A slight gasp came from outside the gap, and there was the sharp sound of sharp claws rubbing against the rock.
Lambert took a deep breath and suppressed his beating heart.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you that your laugh is ugly?"
Aiken is still smiling, but his eyes have entered a fighting state.
The figure of a black-haired demon hunter appeared in his mind.
Back then, he said the same thing about him, his laughter was very unpleasant.
A dark figure emerged from the gap, its ugly head staring at the two of them.
It's a small Basilisk.
Lambert leaned forward and stabbed its head with a very neat sword.
The nerves in the small Basilisk's back were cut off, and his body kept twitching.
"Damn beast! Come on! Come in if you can!"
Lambert shouted.
"Ho ho ho!"
The rocks shook, stirring up large amounts of dust.
The giant Basilisk hit the stone wall crazily, furious.
Aiken's expression is ugly. If the impact continues like this, the space inside will collapse sooner or later.
The petite Basilisk continued to swarm into the rock crevices.
The two of them guarded the gap, but the space inside was so narrow that it was very difficult to draw the sword.
A Basilisk had half its body penetrated into the gap, opening its mouth and biting continuously.
The two of them were soaring with adrenaline that their eyes became red.
Suddenly, a fierce wind sounded.
Basilisk's forward body suddenly stopped.
Aiken Seize the opportunity and immediately step forward to hit the target.
Lambert also noticed this and hurriedly lay down, looking out of the gap with his peephole.
An arrow shot into the tail of Basilisk, nailing it firmly to the ground.
"It's an arrow, Aiken, the Viscount's men are here!?"
Aiken also hurriedly lay down, pushed away Basilisk's body, and looked to the outside world.
"No, it shouldn't be. This is not the Redania standard arrow."
After seeing the death of his compatriots, the giant Basilisk slowly turned around and stared fiercely at the location leading to the cave entrance.
There, a man in black appeared at some point.
The man in black was holding an elf longbow in his right hand, his fingers were slightly loosened, silver light suddenly appeared, and the longbow disappeared immediately.
He jumped off the ledge and walked slowly towards the location of the giant Basilisk like a leisurely stroll.
Giant Basilisk was angered by the actions of the man in front of him.
It is the mutated Basilisk, the future king of this area.
A tiny creature like human beings can only be its blood food.
This kind of behavior is a naked provocation.
"Roar!"
The sarcoma under the bird's beak stirred and roared loudly.
Its thick legs exerted force and rushed towards the man in black like a chariot.
Wherever it passed, rocks shattered into pieces, and even Basilisk blocking the front was crushed into bloody foam by its terrifying power.
Arwen took a deep breath with no intention of flinching.
He arched his right hand, clenched his fist with his fingers, his bones crackled, and [Giant Servant Bloodline] was boiling.
Punch out.
The extremely terrifying force exploded the air, forming a circle of air waves, which bombarded the head of the giant Basilisk that was charging from the front.
"Roar!"
The head of the giant Basilisk deflected, and its beak, as hard as iron, made an overwhelming crunching sound.
After a moment of dizziness, its beastly pupils were filled with astonishment.
As an overlord-level monster, strength is its powerful talent. I never thought that it would be repelled by someone like you.
It raised its head angrily and continued to peck at your body in black with its beak.
But just as he raised his head, the fierce punch came again.
"Boom!"
Visible air waves slammed its head against the stone wall, causing its muscles to deform.
The terrifying force shattered the stone surface, extending out spider web-like cracks.
With stars in his eyes, he received another heavy punch in the abdomen.
The body like a hill fell violently backwards like a meteorite falling to the ground.
"Boom!"
The giant Basilisk fell to the ground, the scales on its chest cracked, and blood flowed down like a stream.
The bird's beak was half broken, Miili kept wailing, its eyes were bloodshot, and it was extremely miserable.
Lambert under the gap saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he was shocked.
"Fuck, how is this possible? You punched that beast away!?"
Aiken was also shocked and speechless.
The giant Basilisk shook its head, and the man in black gradually approached in his sight.
Its eyes were about to burst with anger. As the king of this territory, it had never suffered such humiliation before, and it roared.
"Roar!"
Deafening sound waves echoed in the cave.
But this cannot stop Arwen at all.
The orange-yellow vertical pupils of the giant Basilisk burst out with a misty gray luster.
This luster turned into two beams of light and shot towards the former's body.
Everywhere he goes, space becomes distorted.
Arwen stopped, [Giant Servant Bloodline]'s boiling blood stagnated under the beam.
This feeling is very similar to the feeling of powerlessness caused by the Hydra Evil God curse.
According to folk records, Basilisk's eyes have the function of petrifying enemies and servants.
But you have hunted so many Basilisk as a demon hunter, and you have never encountered one before, so you regard it as superstition.
But rumors are never groundless.
Just like now, Arwen can clearly feel that the flowing blood is slowly stagnating.
The giant Basilisk has a very smug expression, showing a proud look.
"Roar!"
With a low roar, the surrounding Basilisk received the order and all moved towards Arwen's position.
Arwen's stagnant steps suddenly moved forward.
The heart beat like a drum, [Giant Bloodline] boiled again, instantly tearing apart this feeling of stagnation.
The curse of Hydra Evil God can be suppressed, not to mention the magic beam of Basilisk.
Pushing his hands forward, magic power surged out from the organs, and his mental power mobilized the surrounding chaotic magic power to form a Signs.
"Boom!"
An icy blue fan-shaped impact shot in and out of the palm.
The cold frost hit the ground and clung to it like a wave.
The biting chill froze the original Basilisk.
With a clicking sound.
The half-transformed body of the giant Basilisk was quickly frozen, its fierce eyes full of horror.
Under the gap, Lambert's breathing became rapid, "The plague is here, what the hell is this? Aiken! Have you seen it?"
Aiken, on the other hand, opened his eyes wide and stared at you in black robe.
This action is all too familiar to you as a demon hunter.
"I----I saw----it's----Ah----Aard fa----
