Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 174

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 174]

Ai burst into tears, turned and fell into Anthony’s arms, grabbed his back with his hands, and couldn’t help crying, the sound became louder and louder, echoing in the cave.

Ciel was in a complicated mood, and Enus’ violence was beyond imagination. He looked at the others and found that people not only had no sympathy for the cry, but also seemed extremely annoyed. The three villagers exchanged opinions in whispers, and an old villager pointed at her. Point, probably regarded this female adventurer as the master of self-inflicted hardships.

The remaining two mercenaries just sighed, one of them wore black leather armor, a sword, a chubby body, and a cold face, the other was well-equipped, wearing refined iron armor, a chain turban, a red face and a long beard. The spear looks very strong.

Five mountain people, three village households, two adventurers, two mercenaries, as well as Ciel and Elijah, these fourteen people are the survivors of the mountain team.

Elijah sat down beside Ciel, sat down cross-legged, and rested silently.

He had a serious face, and Ciel didn’t know what he was thinking about every day. Elijah had more things on his mind than everyone else.

Ciel looked out, and the time went by, and it was gradually evening.

He moved his feet, and it didn’t feel much pain. The wound began to scab over, and the coagulated blood smeared the linen. A little touch would cause tearing pain, but he had enough lying down, so he tried to sit up.

I hope I can walk normally tomorrow. It will be much more convenient for me to do anything by then. The current situation is still a bit difficult.

“Are you hungry?” Charles asked him.

Seeing Elijah nod, Ciel took out a piece of jerky, broke it in half, and ate it separately: “We have two days’ worth of food left.”

“Two days…” Elijah was surprised.

“It could have been replenished at any time.” Ciel shook his head.

Elijah devoured the meat very dearly.

Now he has to worry about food, Ciel stuffed the hard pork into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it, feeling it slowly decompose in his body, providing him with enough nutrients to continue his activities.

It doesn’t matter at this moment, the next two or three days can barely pass, but it will take longer…

A few villagers took out hard, sun-dried bread from their pockets to eat. Enus and his people didn’t know what they were eating in the dark place, and there was a faint sound of eating and drinking.

Anthony walked in front of Ciel, he looked up and saw Anthony’s face was extremely bad: “What’s the matter?”

“We didn’t… bring food.” Anthony bowed his head to Charles, “Can you give us something to eat?”

“Of course not.” Charles shook his head.

“…No…I’m sorry.” Anthony waved his hand and returned to Ai’s side. They didn’t look like well-trained and experienced adventurers with mediocre equipment.

Leather armor protects him from goblins and other little monsters, swords and simple tools hang around his waist, and nothing else, and Ciel doesn’t see any powerful spells.

Ai’s face was ugly, and they could only lean against each other, leaning against the wall of the cave, watching the sky outside gradually dim.

“I have to find something to eat.” The chubby mercenary sighed, got up and walked out, another man followed him.

“There are elves out there,” said Charles.

“The elves… are nothing.” The fat mercenary said lightly, “We are members of the pirate mercenary group.”

Charles was confused, he hadn’t heard of it.

Elijah helped explain: “The Star Thief Mercenary Group is the most prestigious mercenary organization in the southern region. They have high requirements for recruiting members, and each member is… very capable.”

“Yes, I still understand.” The fat mercenary nodded and patted the sword on his waist, “This sword once killed seventeen people on the battlefield. The elves blocking the road saw me and immediately retreated. Find a partner, or I won’t be able to get here alive.”

“You should be glad that we didn’t decide to rob you.” Another black-armored mercenary said in a deep voice, “What tribesmen, adventurers, travelers… Hmph… In front of us, you have no room to resist.”

“Okay, Pierre.” The fat mercenary patted his partner. “It’s useless to talk to them. They all have high self-esteem, and maybe they don’t take us seriously at all.”

“Fur.” Enus spit, “Disgusting Loman.”

“You’re going to find food?” Anthony whispered.

“Of course,” the fat mercenary patted the javelin on his body, “maybe catch a deer, maybe a bear, ha.”

“If you are willing to give us your girlfriend to play with, maybe it will be shared with you.” Pierre laughed.

“Stop joking with him, let’s go.” The fat mercenary walked out.

The moment he walked into the open space outside the cave, a black shadow quickly passed by, and the fat mercenary disappeared instantly.

The sound of the wind stretched the screams long.

“Hey-hey-” Pierre was startled and walked out quickly, drenched in blood and viscera in an instant.

The fat mercenary’s mournful screams rang out for about three or four times, and then it fell silent. His head and lower body fell from a height, hit Andre and rolled away again, blood splashing all over the sky.

Bruce stayed for a moment, then threw back while vomiting, fell into the cave, and crawled back in a panic.

Shadow Seras’s huge figure hung upside down at the entrance of the cave, and glanced inside, its blood-red eyes swept across everyone, its purple feathers were bright, and the huge eagle beak bit a large piece of fat and part of the spine.

Seemingly feeling that there is enough “food” here, Shadow Seras uttered a pleasing cry and fluttered away.

Charles looked around and saw that everyone held their breath and made no movement.

Chapter 222 Hunger

Ciel looked at the entrance of the cave, where there was a narrow open space. After passing through, and then climbing over a large undulating rock, he could return to the forest from the cliff, and then walk about twenty miles to return to Rose Town.

Put it lightly.

People turned their eyes to the outside of the cave, and they all looked nervous. Ciel knew what they were afraid of, but in fact he was a little worried, the shadow Seras was lurking in the blind spot of their vision.

From the observation before entering the cave, there is a cliff above the cave entrance, and there are many rock blocks for climbing. Shadow Theras can use there as a foothold at any time to launch a deadly raid.

In fact, he has made this one of his dens, and he often wanders around the cave, bringing back a deer or a lynx, and feasting on their heads, and the sound of griffins gnawing and devouring flesh is loud and clear, through the thick rock. The walls are still clearly discernible.

If he rushes out and fights it to the death… Ciel tried to walk a few steps in place, the elf arrow hurt his bones, and there was still a dull pain while walking.

Fighting when the state is not good, the opponent is in the dark, and he is exposed to a place where he is extremely vulnerable. This is undoubtedly a self-destruction. Ciel believes that it is necessary to remain cautious.

When Shadow Theras left to hunt, people stared at the outside of the cave, everyone wanted to sneak out while it left, but no one dared to move.

I can use the flowing shadow to escape by myself, but I am afraid it will be difficult for Elijah to go with me. It is too late to teach the shadow spell immediately. The process of shadow transformation is very dangerous. If you can’t concentrate, you may stay in the shadow forever. It is impossible to get out, and it is difficult to identify the direction in the shadow state, and it may go to some unexpected places.

It was boring to lie here, and Ciel had a dull episode until a smart-looking villager came to the middle: “Hey, everyone!”

“……Uh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Ah…” People looked at him in confusion.

“I’m John from Rose Town.” He introduced himself to everyone with a frank voice, “I don’t think it’s okay to be depressed like this.”

“What do you think?” said Enus gruffly.

“I think we can have a good talk.” John was confident.

“What are you talking about?” Pieri sat on the ground, as if he had not recovered from the sudden death of his companion.

“For example, why did we end up here, and looking at the past can give us a better understanding of the future,” explains John.

“…Why? Because of bad luck.” A mountaineer muttered.

People exchanged glances, sighed, and didn’t want to open their mouths.

Ciel felt the heavy atmosphere, and just watched silently, saving his energy.

“My comrades and I are here to complete the commission.” Pierre murmured, “‘Iron Courage’ Paine hired us to protect him and explore the source of gold, but we got separated in the chaos, he …it should be dead.”

“Hey.”

“He was also a good man when he was young.” The villagers muttered, “He used to be the toughest man in Shili Baxiang.”

“Gold kills!” shouted another villager. “We should have followed the priest’s instructions and devoted ourselves to serving the gods. Oh, Edvar! Lord Edvar! Reach out and save us!”

“God can’t save us!”

“damn it!”

Enus straightened his back: “Only Mr. Monteiro can help us.”

“The great mountain god will protect us, and this cave is the blessing that the god gave us.” A mountain person shouted, “Luoman people, you must know how to be grateful!”

“Uh……”

“Hey…” People looked ugly and couldn’t refute for a while.

Whether it’s the cave or the protection of the gods, I was the one who found it first, Ciel thought to himself.

“Montero ordered me to protect you from entering the Higalore Mountain.” Enus scratched the fluff on his arm, “Everything is the will of God, God will not polish us for no reason, there must be His intention.”

Ciel captured the startling message in Enus’ words: “God… ordered you?”

“I saw God when I was praying, and God gave me a foreshadowing.” Enus closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, giving them a confused and annoyed look, “Hey…”

“Foreshadowing doesn’t work when you’re hungry,” a villager sneered.

In order to save food, they were in a dilemma in the cave, but they didn’t dare to eat more. They just kept silently sitting or lying down, and spent most of the time resting together.

In this dark environment, Ciel felt an unrealistic tension.

“It’s your turn, men and women.” The mountain people shouted to Anthony and Ai.

Anthony opened his tired eyes, Ai slept in his arms, he watched everyone silently, everyone looked at them with a sense of fun, everyone else more or less brought some food, only the two of them entered by themselves. There was nothing to eat from the cave.

“We want to be adventurers,” Anthony whispered. “We’ve known each other since we were very young.”

“Ha ha!”

“Fool’s egg.”

“How can an adventurer be so good!” People immediately jeered happily.

After Ai’s face was broken by Enus’ punch, his face was very ugly, and even if the wound healed, it would leave permanent scars.

Not only did Enus feel no guilt about this, but every time he looked at Ai, there was a bit of obscenity in his eyes, or he was extremely contemptuous of them, and Ciel could see it clearly.

Even when people laughed, Anthony just kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

“Hey, what about you? What about you?” The good-hearted villagers turned to Ciel and Elijah.

Elijah didn’t speak much, glanced at Ciel, and still bit the bullet to deal with the other people in the cave: “This is where we travel.”

“What? Travel?” The mountain people were puzzled.

“Rose Town used to be very beautiful, but after the news of gold came, everyone just went to the river to pan for gold, ignoring the roses in the town.” John sighed.

“Who the hell cares about this, who can get some food.” An elderly villager shouted while sitting on the ground, hammering the ground with his hand, “I’m starving to death.”

“Go out by yourself if you want to eat, you old pig.” Enus cursed.

“The dog…” The old villager muttered, they looked at each other with hatred, and even if the light was dim, they could see their respective faces.

So Ciel made up his mind that he would rest for a while every night, and then Elijah would rest for a while. The two of them couldn’t sleep unprepared at the same time, and they had to be vigilant at all times, lest someone come over and cause trouble.

Midday, evening, then sunset the next day.

Charles finished eating a piece of hard cheese in the package, ordered Elijah to keep watch, and then lay on the ground to rest. Before closing his eyes, he thought of the male and female adventurers again, so he turned to look at them, Anthony sat on the ground, Holding Ai in her arms, she stared straight at the outside of the cave, wondering what she was thinking.
