The footprints "left" by Keyan are intermittent.
Sometimes not.
But Lynn relied on his professional and excellent tracking ability, as well as the enhanced senses of a demon hunter that surpassed ordinary people, and finally led a group of people to a reed field.
"Master Lynn, Master Kaiyan is inside?"
Lynn nodded.
Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed.
Raise your hands to signal everyone else to stop.
"Wait, did you all hear that?"
Professor Grogg and the others looked at each other in confusion.
They all looked confused.
"Master, you mean..."
"Look over there."
Everyone looked in the direction indicated by Lynn's gaze.
Then, they saw what Lynn wanted them to see.
The faces of the group suddenly turned pale.
Deep in the seemingly peaceful reeds, small, scary, deformed figures, no more than one meter tall, and as thin as skeletons were seen walking through it.
Their pace is weird.
On the flat and wrinkled face, there is a pair of bulging eyes like a jaundiced patient, and a small frog-like mouth revealing thick fangs.
From time to time, a creepy hissing sound would come out of his mouth.
Missiel instinctively wanted to scream.
Professor Grogg is a mature man and has the fastest reaction time.
Before Missiel's scream could escape her mouth, she tightly blocked it in her mouth.
Professor Gloeg's other two students, Marco and Gottfried, were much better.
But their faces are also earth-colored.
"Master Lynn, what kind of monsters are those?"
"Nekker, the strange creatures brought by Conjunction of the Spheres," Lynn's eyes swept over the faces of Professor Grogg and others one by one, and then said, "The footprints extend all the way to the reeds. I'm afraid Keyan has..."
This is a lie.
Of course Kyaen's death had nothing to do with these Nekker hiding in the reeds.
It was just yesterday that when Lynn was taking Keyan's body out of the camp, he discovered this reed bush and Nekker who had built a nest in it.
Lynn, who originally planned to burn Keyan's body, then thought of a good idea.
He first left with Keyan's body and found a place to cremate him. Then he disguised himself as Keyan and left the camp until he arrived outside the reeds and erased other traces.
"You guys stay away and I'll destroy them."
"This... Master Lynn, can't we leave before they find us?"
"Yes, but if there are unknowing people passing by, their lives will be harmed. The duty of a demon hunter is to protect humans. If I don't see it, then forget it. But since I see it, then I have to take care of it."
So everyone else retreated far away.
I saw Lynn pull out the master silver sword and walk into the reeds.
The Nekker group in the reeds discovered the intruder and rushed toward Lynn with a hiss.
The Nekker group was very fast. At the same time, they raised their slender forelimbs like wooden sticks, scratched in the air, and swooped towards them.
Missile didn't dare to look down any further.
Professor Grogg and the other two male students also couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats.
Then they saw that what Nekker's sharp claws grabbed was not the flesh, but the silver sword light.
Nekker's claws and head flew into the air together, dragging out two lines of blood.
This seems to be a signal.
Lynn broke into the remaining monsters, waving the master silver sword left and right.
The gleaming sword was as sharp as a razor.
Nekker attacked him from all directions, screaming and waving their limbs.
The two sides were fighting too fast and the scene was too chaotic.
Coupled with the obstruction of the reeds, Professor Grogg and others could not see anything clearly except for the silver light that flashed from time to time.
Monsters surrounded Lynn like ants.
The neighing sound of Nekker was endless, as if it was about to drown the demon hunter like a tsunami.
But then it was replaced by the sound of swords breaking through the air, screams and cries of pain.
I don't know how long it lasted.
Finally, after a blood-curdling cry of despair, everything suddenly came to an abrupt end.
There was silence all around.
It was so chaotic before, but now it's suddenly eerily quiet.
Professor Grogg swallowed hard, raised his head, and straightened up slightly.
Silence still enveloped the surroundings, even the reeds were motionless.
Finally.
A young man covered in blood walked out of the reeds.
And with his shining master silver sword.
Professor Grogg was the first to rush over.
His students were a little slower to react.
But he followed closely.
"Master Lynn, are you okay?"
Lynn waved his hand. "I'm fine, they are all dead, don't worry... you can go back to the camp first."
Professor Grogg was stunned for a moment.
"What about you, Master?"
Lynn took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wiped off the blood on the sword, and then put it back into the scabbard.
"I have to burn the corpses of these monsters, otherwise the smell of blood and corpse odor will soon attract other corpse-eating creatures."
At this time, Marco suddenly plucked up the courage and said, "Master Lynn, you and the professor go back to the camp first, and we will handle it here."
"You?" Lynn shook his head, "Can you really adapt to a scene where viscera and blood cover the floor?"
"Of course." Gottfried said with a pale face.
In fact, everyone present can roughly imagine what the scene is like in the reeds.
In bardic poetry, the heroic epic sung is one thing.
But in reality, the scene of corpses and blood everywhere is another matter.
Bards don't rack their brains to describe how heroes clean up the battlefield.
But what Lynn said just now aroused Gottfried's inexplicable competitiveness.
He admitted that he could not kill demons like Lynn.
But at the very least, he thought he could still do something as simple as burning the body.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you."
Lynn smiled and patted Gottfried on the shoulder.
Then he left with Professor Grogg and Missiel.
Only Mark and Gottfried were left, staring at each other with big eyes.
Feeling Marco's gaze, Gottfried couldn't help but said, "What are you looking at me for? Didn't you also ask to stay? Hurry up, don't wait, we can all leave this hellish place if we finish it early."
Lynn and the professor waited for the two of them in the camp for a long time.
Only then did I see the two people coming back with bad smells and very bad expressions.
Just as Professor Grogg was about to go up to greet them, the two of them vomited in an earth-shattering fit.
Lynn didn't say anything.
Just listening quietly, Marco and Gottfried told with ugly expressions what they saw in the reeds.
Professor Grogg sighed.
They immediately said that when they returned, they would definitely find a bard to compile the story of the "heroic" Kyaan into a ballad and pass it on.
That's fine.
This is enough.
At least, compared to another world line where he was used as experimental material and tortured to death, at least in this world line, Kiyaen is still a hero.
Will live forever in the bard's poetry.
