Chapter 136 Kidnapped Child
Flame is the natural enemy of all flesh and blood creatures, not to mention Triss's flame is not an ordinary flame, but a magical flame that condenses higher energy.
After the preparation of her fire spell was completed, in less than three minutes, both the wolves and the crows in the sky quickly turned into corpses on the ground with the cooperation of the two.
After killing the incoming monster, Triss let out a breath and looked at Wayne with strange eyes. During the last battle in the catacombs, the two sorceresses did not see the witcher's actions during the battle. Heroic appearance, I just saw it with my own eyes today, Wayne's fighting ability that is beyond ordinary people.
Although spellcasters naturally have a certain sense of superiority over warriors, Triss couldn't help but praise:
"Your strength and speed are several times higher than ordinary people." "
Is it true that every demon hunter is like you? Do you have such a powerful body, Wayne?"
When Mr. Wayne heard this, his face was calm, but his tone was a bit Versailles and he said:
"It's okay, my talent is a little stronger, and I'm probably better than all hunters. Among the demons, they belong to the top level."
The red-haired beauty covered her mouth and smiled softly after hearing this, looked at the corpse on the ground, and then asked:
"What should we do now, Wayne?"
"As a monster expert, Do you think we should go directly to the target location next, or do we need to make some preparations?"
When Triss asked for his opinion, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This is how Triss respects the opinions of others.
If it were other sorceresses, such as Yennefer or other members of the Sorceress Association, with their strong personalities, they would definitely make their own decisions and not follow other people's arrangements.
After thinking for a few seconds, Wayne said:
"Based on our demon hunters' experience in dealing with deer-headed spirits, they usually build three to four totem poles like this on the periphery of their territory. If these totem poles are not destroyed, the deer will be destroyed." The strength of Shou Jing will probably get a relatively large increase."
"Although it is not impossible to destroy it, it will definitely be more troublesome to deal with."
Triss nodded. She had also learned some of this knowledge. She even checked the information about the deer-headed spirit a few days ago. However, the warlock obtained The information is not as detailed as recorded by the demon hunter group.
Many of the demon hunter materials are actual combat data of the ancestors hunting monsters. They are far more authentic and credible than the books written by warlocks who rely on analysis and guesswork.
"In this case, let's use this as the edge and circle around here to see if we can find other totems. They are so conspicuous, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them." "Okay, that's it.
"
Wayne After nodding in agreement, the two rode horses around the forest.
This is a primeval forest. Although the mine is only about five or six miles away from here, based on the geographical location, their location is already deep in the primeval forest.
All kinds of huge trees cover the sky and the sun, and there are all kinds of vines and stones entangled on the ground. You can also see some poisonous insects and snakes clinging to various inconspicuous places while walking, which is quite dangerous.
After searching for about ten minutes, I suddenly heard some fighting and screaming sounds coming from the front. It seemed that a group of people were fighting something.
After Wayne and Triss looked at each other, they immediately sped up their horses and ran in front of the sorceress, towards the location where the sound came from.
Soon, the two passed through a dense forest and saw a group of plainly dressed villagers, holding various hoes, pitchforks and other tools for farm work, fighting with a group of wild wolves and crows.
A huge troll, wrapped in stones, brandished a huge wooden stick and protected a terrifying totem made of various bones. It was surrounded by some men and beat them hard.
Although there are forty or fifty villagers, and the number of wild beasts that attack them is only half of them, this group of humans who have not received combat training are afraid of fighting against those ferocious wild beasts. , unable to exert its combat effectiveness advantage at all.
Wayne's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately saw the black-haired young man Allen among the villagers. He was holding an ax for cutting firewood. He was behind the troll and struck the troll's back with the axe. superior.
Unfortunately, the back was the place where the troll had the strongest defense. When the ax struck, only the stone chips flew away, and it did not cause any harm to the troll.
And the troll was not a vegetarian. After feeling the attack from behind, he immediately swung his stick and threw Allen high into the air. If other villagers hadn't struggled to catch him, they would have definitely suffered a lot of damage. .
Seeing this situation, Wayne could no longer stand by and watch. He turned to Triss and said,
"You go deal with the troll, and then destroy the totem. I'll help the villagers deal with the beast." After that, he couldn't wait any longer. To listen to the sorceress's answer, he jumped off his horse, used the electric blade in his hand to fall from the sky, pinned a wild wolf that wanted to attack with one knee under him, and the sharp blade passed through his skull.
After killing the wild wolf, Wayne suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to collect the trophies of the beasts he had just killed at the previous totem. Although the wolf liver was not a rare material, it could still be sold for some money.
Of course, this thought only passed by for a moment. After killing a wild wolf, Wayne did not hesitate in his actions, and soon used a sneak attack to kill several more wild wolves that wanted to attack the villagers.
The electric blade in his hand is no better than an ordinary weapon. The skin and bones of wild wolves are no stronger than melons and fruits under the sharp edge of this weapon. As long as the angle of the slash is appropriate, these wild wolves can be easily killed. The wolves were cut in half or their heads cut off.
And Triss acted very quickly. After reciting a jerky and awkward spell, the sorceress shouted to the villagers who were besieging the troll.
"Leave that totem, I'm going to cast a spell."
The villagers who were besieging the troll were stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, but fortunately Allen knew Triss, and he immediately called on the villagers to retreat to a safe area. .
As Triss raised her hands like something, with her palms facing upward, she raised her head above her head. After a loud boom, bursting flames soared into the sky from where the troll and totem were, and ignited to a height of more than ten meters. The huge pillar of flame enveloped the trolls and animal bone totems in the scorching flames.
A few minutes later, when Wayne killed all the beasts that besieged the villagers, both the trolls and the terrifying totem made of animal bones had been turned into charcoal in Triss's flames.
After Wayne observed the surrounding environment and confirmed that no other monsters were coming, he grabbed Allen and asked, "
What's going on? Why are you and the villagers in your village here?"
Allen rubbed his hands. With his injured shoulder, he looked at the injured villagers around him with a somewhat sad expression.
Some people had their limbs bitten by wild wolves and might become disabled, a few people were blinded by crows, and some people were attacked by trolls and had their bones broken, and they were lying on the ground wailing, but even so , everyone did not escape, but wanted to continue fighting.
"Lord Wayne, I don't know very well. When I returned to the village from Lord Triss's mansion, the villagers were excited." "Because after we
left, that Link returned to the village with the monster. He While people were fleeing in panic, they kidnapped five children in the village and fled into the forest." "The
villagers in our village have always been very united. Seeing this situation, they immediately organized this team and wanted to We have to go into the forest to rescue the children."
"We chased all the way here, but when we came near this totem, we were attacked by a group of monsters. There were too many of them. Fortunately, you and Triss With your help, we didn't suffer heavy casualties."
Wayne and Triss looked at each other, feeling a little heavy. They originally thought they were just dealing with a deer-headed spirit and its monsters, but now it seems that these monsters are There will also be five children as hostages.
With their kind-hearted nature, they would definitely be timid during the battle. Wayne thought for a few seconds, then looked at the injured villagers around him, then reached into his pocket and took out some first aid such as bandages and needlework. He handed the item to Allen and said,
"Don't continue to chase it. The deer-headed spirit inside is very powerful. Ordinary people like you will only die if you run over." "Let's do the following
. Leave it to us. You can treat your wounds first." "
If you insist on doing something, you can help us find one or two such totems around this forest." "
Find them. Destroy them."
"We will go directly to find that monster now. In order to deal with the two of us, it will probably not send any more beasts to attack you."
After saying that, he and Triss looked at each other and said: Triss nodded at Wayne's decision and did not refute it.
Although the totem was not completely destroyed and it would be a bit dangerous to deal with the deer-headed spirit, in order to save the children as soon as possible, it was necessary to take some risks.
