Chapter 709: The Land of Sacrifice
Ruth wasn't as physically tired as she had first come to the Academy, and she could detect any dark creature that entered the room, even the Winged Demon that had crept in without a sound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What for?" Ruth didn't get up during the questioning, she could see through the broken mirror hanging from the wall that was behind her the winged demon who had been guarding the gate both times.
“… Awesome, I wanted to scare you, get up, I'm going to explain something to you about hunting together. The Winged Demon very handsomely pushed his glasses and turned around to signal Ruth to follow, Ruth had no choice but to get up, she couldn't be sure how many hours she had slept, but looking at the fog outside, she knew that there was still some time before nightfall.
Her body was almost back to her best after resting, and her complexion was much better, and Ruth would use the bandages to do some simple tasks when she didn't have grooming equipment, but at least her hair had to be neatly tidied, after all, the Winged Demon was not a messy dark creature.
There are advantages and disadvantages to cooperating with dark creatures with human minds, they are cunning and know how to keep themselves from suffering, and the good thing is that they will also try to understand your way to cooperate, while dark creatures without thinking are more likely to make strange noises for you to go with them, and they don't say what they are to run where to kill, and after killing it, it will make a few more noises to tell you that it's over, but the good thing is that they don't know what fear and sacrifice are, and will always open the way for you.
Leaving the hallway, you can soon see the Winged Demons, they are not all gathered this time, but the three more familiar ones are waiting for Ruth, and they look very beautiful in the white mist, at least before they turn bloody.
"I'm sorry to have to bled to meet you, it's deadly to us during the day, and we can't be careless even though we're protected by the white mist, we may be much stronger than the rest of our kind at night, but during the day we're one of the weakest, and if we don't bleed, even a glimmer of light can take our lives. "The bloodied Winged Demon's voice was rough and high-pitched, and it was hard to hear.
"It's okay, although it's cooperation, I'm more used to acting alone, and it's okay to solve it alone. Ruth didn't care about the Winged Demon whose whole body was covered in blood, and she remembered even more of it.
"Of course, it's just that the prey this time is a bit tricky, and even you won't be able to win alone, so it's better to have us with you..."
"Island?" Ruth gave the answer almost without speculation, and according to the Winged Demon's recognition of herself, the only daytime target that could not be won alone could be the dark creature of the island.
"It seems that you think so yourself, yes, the prey is the corrupted young dragon of the isolated island, you should know very well that corrupt creatures do not distinguish between day and night, and in this fog they are more powerful and sensitive than us..."
"And dragons are our taboo, and the only thing we can do to help you in this hunt is to take you to and from the island. Frustrated in their voices, this tells if they are lying, and usually their expressions don't change when they lie.
"How many?" Ruth knew very well about the importance of cooperative hunting, and she had no choice but to go all out.
"Seventeen, and the rest of the same kind are also hunting on the island, maybe you can cooperate with their people. As he finished speaking, the Winged Demon took out a black soul ingot from his body and threw it to Ruth.
"Let's see, I don't have a choice anyway, can I go?" Ruth didn't activate the soul ingot immediately after receiving it, and she slightly checked whether the dagger seat and the sword on her back were secure.
"We're fast, you'd better cover your face with something, it's going to hurt. As soon as the voice fell, a pair of bloody wings were violently spread on the back of the winged demon, which was really uncomfortable in terms of appearance.
"No, you don't. Ruth didn't appreciate it at all, so she walked to the Winged Demon.
"It's really a troublesome human, Kunna, you left and I right, Kunyu will ask you in front. The winged demon who spoke slowly floated up with his eyes in motion, it really couldn't understand the thoughts of humans sometimes, maybe it couldn't trust humans because of this, right?
……
The flying speed of the Winged Demon is very fast, and the originally comfortable breeze has turned into a powerful majesty, if it weren't for a Winged Demon blocking the front to cover most of the wind, Ruth's face would probably be miserable, although it was high in the air, but Ruth could only barely see the three Winged Demons around her, and the other areas were all white and the side was very boring.
"If our intel is correct, you shouldn't have fought the Corrupt Dragons last time we were fully sacrificed. It may be that the winged demon on the right who was bored looking at Ruth took the initiative to speak.
"Well, because there are no corrupt dragons in the sacrifice, but don't worry, I've fought with young dragons. Ruth recalls dealing with baby dragons, and although they are not very powerful dark creatures, each of them has a powerful body that completely surpasses that of the ordinary second type.
"The Corrupt Dragons will purify the island when they discover the intruders, you have to hide under the belly of the young dragon to escape, and don't think of any other way, there are already countless lessons to formalize this. "The Wing Demon doesn't want Ruth to be planted here, it may not make sense to remind you, but if you don't, Ruth will definitely dodge in other ways.
"Yes. Ruth knew very well that the Winged Demons would not deceive themselves at this stage, and that if the hunt failed, they would lose the most.
"Remember, we won't be waiting for you on a lonely island, take a pebble and throw it at the surface when you need to return, we'll be there in three minutes, you can't blame us, the sea breeze over there can blow the white fog away at any moment, we can't risk it. "The Winged Demons spoke in a very sincere tone, they didn't think that the cooperative hunt would choose the island in the first place, and they were ready to calculate Ruth...
"Your plan is not incomplete, what if the wind picks up at three minutes," Ruth picked at a point of complete unappreciation.
"Indeed, when the wind blows, we can't enter the island, so we can only wait for the white fog to cover again... There's no other way, but you can wait for us in the shallow waters, and a few undead should be fine with you. ”
"As long as you don't go deep into the water, merfolk won't appear during the day. "Winged Demon didn't think about it so much, and it's really unpleasant to calculate it temporarily.
"I'll figure it out, but you have to make sure you'll find me as soon as the wind stops. Ruth didn't care, since she was sure to break into Dragon Island, it didn't make a difference how difficult it was.
"I assure you... Remember... It doesn't matter if you fail, don't be pushy. The Winged Demon felt the change in the direction of the wind, and the island was not far away.
"I'm not going to fail! Absolutely not! Look!!" Ruth also felt the change in the direction of the wind, and she raised her hands up to make a landing and tumbling pre-motion.
"Three minutes, as long as there is no wind, we will be absolutely on time!!"
"Well, let go!"
The two winged demons let go at the same time, and Ruth was left behind in front of the wind, and she couldn't see the ground clearly, but she just rolled by feeling and landed safely, and there was no pungent smell around at this time, indicating that the young dragon's lair was not nearby.
The island of the corrupt dragon, there are only dead wood and huge black stones in the middle of the island, and the most powerful dark creatures in the land of sacrifice live in the stones, it cannot be defeated, even if it is chosen as a sacrifice, it only needs to remove its scales, and it is only completed once as a sacrifice, its cubs will build nests around the island, and some even build their nests in the shallow sea, they are not afraid of fishermen or sea monsters, because the other party does not want to anger the corrupt dragon, even in the deep sea, as long as it angers the corrupt dragon, it will also end in the same way...
The visibility on the ground is only about three meters at most, which is very bad for Ruth, on the other hand, the baby dragon has a strong sense of smell, even if it is completely invisible, it doesn't matter, they just bet on spraying poison.
“…… I can only wait for the wind to pick up. Ruth marked the ground to locate herself, and it was best to choose the same spot when she needed to return, so as to avoid wasting more time when the Winged Demon dared to come.
"Humans?"
"Well, who's over there?"
Ruth was shocked by the sudden male voice, she didn't relax at all, it was not easy to approach her without knowing it, the other party must have relied on soul ingots or spirit martial arts to cover up her breath.
"Great, I'm an experiencer from the Central Plains, Lu Youzhen, watching them keep calling and thinking they are prey, I didn't expect to meet people from the same way here. The person who spoke walked out of the white mist, his long hair tied with a whip dressed as a little Taoist priest, and a strange wooden sword in his hand, and with him came several unjust souls who were completely armed with various tools.
"......" Ruth couldn't answer for a moment, she never thought that she would choose the dock as a stronghold, and this dress has nothing to do with the demon hunter at all, she is completely a Taoist priest in the Central Plains...
"I'm sorry to scare you? they're my companions, and they won't hurt you. ”
