Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 267
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 267]
“Impossible.” Tani sighed, “The Calamity Walkers are the strangest and most mysterious monsters in the world, and only the Calamity Walker Hunting Team can deal with them.”
“Yes, yes, the most terrifying threat, the dwarf Xiaorui and the fortress iron guard are helpless to the disaster walker, not to mention you are a human!”
Their talk about the scourger spread loudly, and when the resting dwarves heard the taboo name, they couldn’t help but look gloomy and have no appetite, and put down their bread and beer.
The dwarf porters who shuttled through the hall were also listless, and even their work efficiency was affected.
The desolate horn sounded from a distance, and the Ciel and the dwarves followed the sound together, and he noticed that everyone’s faces became worse.
“What sound?” Charles asked.
“Another Scourge Walker invasion,” Tani complained. “If the Patriarch made me a sergeant, I’d be fighting them on the front line now! But now I’m just here, constantly drafting diplomatic rhetoric! I’m good at this. , but I don’t like this.”
“I want to fight the Disaster Walker too, but I’ve been guarding the trestle all my life,” said the sergeant major.
Charles frowned.
Be sure to meet this mysterious “disaster walker” for a while.
Chapter 337
The invasion of the Disaster Walker was swift and deadly, and after a while, the second horn sounded again, only sharper.
“It’s the horn of defeat, and the last marginal fortress has also fallen.” Tani shook his head, “What should I do now?”
“Ugh.”
“There’s nothing we can do.”
“The legacy of our ancestors was handed over to us and became like this…”
“Are you coming to this fortress?” Ciel felt the atmosphere dignified.
“No, but soon. There are five fortresses guarding each other around Xiongxu Fortress. They are defensive fortifications and our important output facilities… Snowmelting Well, Crow’s Lookout Rock, Black Pigeon Hill, Cliff Cave, and Drifting Fire Fort. .” Tani counted with his fingers.
“Are they all underground?”
“No, some are on the surface. It’s just that for every fort the Scourge Walkers snatch, we have to withdraw a fort and lose it. They are… invincible! Our ancestors warned us not to Try to fight the Scourge! They can easily bring down the most upright dwarves!” said Tani.
“You have an army and cannons, and you should fight to the death.”
“We want to fight to the death, too! But scourges are not something that cannons can handle, our gunners have given up honor and discipline before aiming at them, swarming away, running, fleeing, forgetting their responsibilities Yes!” Tani said.
Charles groaned.
“There are still many mysterious things in the world that I don’t understand,” Ciel said. “I’m afraid this is an eye-opening opportunity. How do I get to the nearest fortress? I want to meet the so-called ‘disaster walkers’.”
“I can take you there, but I’m afraid of being discovered by the Disaster Walkers,” said the sergeant major.
“Just pointing the way, I think I can touch the so-called Disaster Walker,” Ciel said.
“…Good luck to you, and come back alive, Helgagson,” Taney said to the sergeant major.
“Definitely.” The sergeant major beat his chest.
Hearing that they were going to see the Scourgewalker, the other dwarves could not help pointing at the charr.
“They’re killing themselves,” concluded a shirtless, tattooed dwarf.
Ciel followed Sergeant Major Hejgagson across the corridor.
Outside the exquisite corridor is a dark tunnel, which becomes narrower and narrower as you walk, which is more suitable for the body structure of dwarves.
The tunnels of different heights are connected by metal elevators, and the sound of gears is rattling.
These tunnels should have been dug out by the dwarves with a hoe.
“It leads to the kitchen, there is the noble room, there is… uh… I don’t tell you, there is the place where the garbage is piled up, there…” Hejgagsen pointed to the various tunnels.
The sound of footsteps and the clanking of heavy armor quickly approached.
They saw a group of retreating dwarves warriors, the dwarves face solemn.
“Oh! What’s going on in the cliff cave?” Heigagesen asked.
“Don’t go, Hejagesen!” The dwarf warriors were anxious, “Twenty! There are twenty Disaster Walkers! Dozens of brothers have been broken, nothing good.”
Helgagsen gave Ciel a frustrated look.
“Twenty.” Hejagesen sighed, “We can do our best to drive away three or five. Twenty… I’m afraid the entire fortress is in danger.”
“Which direction is the cliff cave? It doesn’t matter, I can observe the situation myself.”
“In the name of Bearbeard, the dwarves will never let humans go ahead. I will help you lead the way until I hit the Scourgewalker.”
Seeing that they had made up their minds, the other dwarf warriors could not help but sigh.
“May Dumark and the ancestors bless you.” They greeted the Shire and Hajjgsen.
They walked through the dark tunnel for more than half an hour, and then came to an exit.
Ciel walked out. He heard the wind and seemed to be very close to the ground. It is estimated that the ground is close to…
He was pulled abruptly.
“Shh!” Helgagsen grabbed Ciel’s arm, “Don’t run around! Disaster Walker is in the shadows ahead!”
Ciel looked carefully at the shadows between the rolling hills ahead.
He… saw it.
there!
The moment he saw “Disaster Walker”, Ciel couldn’t help but be astonished.
It has sharp claws, a tall lanky head, fangs and a long tail, carries a stick, poses, and wears thick scales and is bright red in color.
It’s obviously a big devil, an evolution of the little devil, but I haven’t touched the edge of the middle-level demon.
“You call this the Disaster Walker? I can hit a hundred of this thing,” said Ciel.
“What?” Heggerson was nervous, “Don’t be too proud! Now that you have seen it, you should go, don’t lose your life.”
Colder than a stone, stronger than a beast, terrifying, utterly vicious, with a cry that makes people vomit, no matter where the dwarves hide.
Now recalling the description of the dwarves to the disaster walker, after thinking about it, it is actually exactly the same as the devil, it seems that there are some differences in naming and cognition.
“Don’t worry, let me take it lightly,” said Charles.
“Don’t even think about it.” Hejagesen held Ciel, “I won’t let you die in vain!”
“Gah!” The big devil turned his head to hear the movement, waved the wooden stick in his hand, and charged towards the tunnel entrance with a strange cry.
Ciel rushed up with a single stride, facing the big demon.
“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, raising the wooden stick in his hand.
Ciel kicked out and knocked it over, and the big ghost fell down with a groan.
He snatched the wooden stick from the big ghost’s claws, swung it three times at his head, and smashed it flat. The big ghost was beaten beyond recognition, and the soul leaked out from the broken shell, dissipating invisible.
“Isn’t this done?” Charles turned back.
Higgerson has disappeared.
Ciel drilled back into the tunnel and saw Helgagson walking back in dejection.
“It’s my fault, it’s my fault.” Heigagson muttered, “I didn’t hold him back… what a poor man…”
“Hey!” Charles stopped him, “It’s done!”
“Ah?” Hejgsen turned his head and saw that Ciel was intact, grinning with joy, “You escaped! Thank you Dumark!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I killed the Calamity Walker,” Ciel said.
Hejgsen looked at Ciel for a while, then ran out of the tunnel, and came near the corpse of the big ghost. He squatted on the ground and stared straight at it with a surprised expression on his face.
“You really killed the Disaster Walker!” Hejageson murmured.
“Are Scourgewalkers strong against dwarves?” the Ciel thought.
“Certainly,” said Helgagson, “this Scourgerunner is too small, so you have a chance. But big, grown-up Scourgerunners are not so easy to deal with! Once Scourgerunners enter the field, we can only Run away! We can’t look at them or listen to them, or we’ll go mad! Just aiming at them and seeing what they look like, we can’t fight back! Dumark warned us to stay away from them.”
“I’ve heard the name Dumark more than once, is it your god?” Ciel didn’t know much about the gods of the underground world.
“Yes, that is our god and creator, the great god of covetousness and industriousness,” Hejgagson said.
Greed and diligence… go well together.
Charles thought to himself.
“…Has this ever happened? For example, a dwarf saw a Scourge Walker for so long that he became abnormal and became a half-dwarf, half-disaster walker?”
Hejageson thought carefully.
“No,” he said.
“That’s fine.” Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
With the evil power of the devil and the toughness of the dwarves, if a demonic dwarf really appears, it will definitely be difficult to deal with.
“I’m not afraid of your ridicule. The moment I saw the disaster walker, my brain was buzzing, and many strange sounds echoed in my head, screaming and crying. Many dwarves suffered cardiac arrest after seeing the disaster walker and died a little bit. There is no trauma, and those who survived were also exiled by the patriarch because of madness. I am really worried that it will turn out like that.” Hejagesen was nervous.
“I won’t laugh at it, because this kind of thing is indeed a big threat to you, and it is not only a threat to you, but also a threat to the whole world.” Ciel picked up the big ghost’s body and threw it aside into the subterranean abyss.
It seems to be clear now that the mind of a dwarf is easily destroyed by demons. After seeing a demon, although it will not become a half-demon, it will go crazy, lose its combat effectiveness quickly, and even die suddenly.
No wonder demons are called scourges by dwarves, and for dwarves who lack basic knowledge of demons, demons are indeed invincible.
I have received professional training and have fought against demons for a long time, of course I am not afraid, but on the dwarf side, it seems…
“Anyway, even though it’s only a juvenile Disaster Walker, it’s really incredible that you can easily defeat it.” Hejgagson looked at Ciel with awe.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that the underground world has also been eroded by demons, which makes me a little worried…”
Although I tried my best to distribute the white wedges, it was obviously impossible to cover everything, the sea, the ground, and maybe some people didn’t plant the white wedges out of vigilance.
The cracks expand, and the intensity of the demon’s destruction will only get stronger and stronger. I really want to return to Loman as soon as possible, unite everyone again, and find a way to drive the demon out.
Ciel looked into the distance. The terrain of the underground world was rugged, about a kilometer away. There was a looming hole above it, which connected to the ground, and gusts of frosty wind blew from it. There was also a dim light, which dimly illuminated a fortress. Some dwarven buildings are distributed along the intricate terrain.
“That’s the cliff cave,” said Heiggson.
“Is there food, weapons and armor in it?” Ciel groaned as he wrapped his tattered sackcloth tightly.
“Of course, the cliff cave is a big fortress! It can be stationed by hundreds of dwarves for a long time, and there are a lot of materials in storage.”
“Let’s work together to recover the cliff cave.” Charles laughed.
“What? I’m the sergeant major, and I have to go back to guard the Rift Trestle Bridge.” Hejageson shook his head sharply.
“It’s good that the dwarves are doing their jobs! But I think I can bring a new profession to your dwarven fortress.” Ciel put his hands on the dwarves’ shoulders.
“what?”
“Want to be a Demon Hunter? Blast Scourgewalkers in the head with a single hammer! You won’t go mad, or go mad or have a cardiac arrest even looking at them. You’ll be the first dwarven Scourgerunner slayer ever! A Dwarven Demon Hunter! Powerful and terrifying! Every dwarf hears your name in awe!”
“…Actually, I don’t like being famous very much, but I think you are right!” Hejagesen looked at the cliff cave, “That is the land of the ancestors, and it must not be occupied by disaster walkers.”
“It’s time for me to find equipment and food.” Ciel set off immediately.
Chapter 338 Preliminary Exploration
There is a narrow rock bridge leading to the 1st cliff cave. Ciel needs to pay attention to his feet so as not to fall into the abyss on both sides.
Hajjgsen was familiar with the road and took big strides ahead.
