Above the earth, the hills are raised.

A bloody battlefield ruins, if viewed from a high altitude, will look like a picture of a "blooming" posture.

The golden-red flames still burned on the carrion, and the air was filled with a burnt, foul-smelling smell that of course made you accustomed to it.

The strong adaptability of human beings can make the owner enter the room of Zhilan without feeling its fragrance, and enter the abalone without smelling its smell.

With the blessing of the system's perspective, Shi Yinghu glanced around, and could faintly see several flashes of spiritual light, which were better trophies.

Of course, the biggest aura is in the body of the big guy in front of him.

"Don't laugh, keep working, if you don't do it again, the ghouls who have been attracted by the potion should disperse. ”

Without the existence of the giant ghoul king, the next battle was not difficult for Shi Yinghu and Finney, who had rested for a while, but only a little troublesome.

After making sure that all the ghouls in this area had been wiped out and there was not much left, Shi Yinghu returned to the pile of the giant ghoul king's beheaded corpses, and began to collect the loot with Finney:

This is the daily life of a witcher, and if it were only a small amount of money earned from the commission bounty, most witchers would starve to death.

After all, the Witcher profession is used to spending a lot of money, and many work-related consumables are also extremely expensive.

In many cases, the harvest in the process of completing tasks is the real income.

Using his long sword to slit open the chest of the giant ghoul king, Shi Yinghu dug out a leather helmet from the chest and abdomen of the dead monster.

Able to maintain the physical integrity of the giant ghoul king's stomach for a long time, this leather helmet is of course a good magical equipment, but Shi Yinghu casually threw the leather helmet aside, and he put his hand into the red and foul-smelling abdominal cavity, and after a long time, he caught the most dazzling thing.

It was a small stone.

It looked like a stone in the body of the giant ghoul king, but even through the thick blood stain, Shi Yinghu could still see the subtle patterns on the gray-white stone, and at the same time, there was also a hint from the system:

"If a special magic item is detected, do you need to consume 20 points of experience for identification?"

"Yes!"

With the golden red light in the palm of his hand, a strange pale rune floated on the shrouded gray-white stone, lingering like white smoke: Runestone El/El, +50 Accuracy Rate, +1 Luminance, +15 Defense - this is a stone of rules from Hell with unfathomable power. Now you can't imagine what a terrifying power these rules stones will erupt when they converge and form a language.

"I think I've seen this kind of thing, it's not quite the same, but it seems to be very expensive at auction! As he said this, Finney looked around at the large number of corpses in sight, and his face was bitter.

"Uh, we ...... You don't have to dissect every corpse, do you?"

"There is no need for that, there is a chance that a high-level demon will have a chance to condense this kind of rule power from the lower plane, and the chance of ordinary monsters condensing this kind of thing is too small. "In fact, after killing a monster, a high-level professional can determine whether a high-level monster has condensed the Hell Rune Stone by feeling the energy change through a keen energy sense, while a low-level professional will have a great chance of missing out on it even if he is lucky enough to kill a high-level monster and condense this kind of thing.

In addition to the leather helmet and the hell rune stone, Shi Yinghu also found a sleeveless double-layer thick leather armor with a very good craftsmanship on a ghoul who was shot in the head by a sword, even if he didn't need to be identified by the ability, Shi Yinghu could feel the solidity of this leather armor just by touching it with his palm, and he naturally peeled it off:

Tain Helmet (Treasure Gear), Leather Armor, +1 Fire Arrow Skill, +35% Frozen Defense Resistance.

Thick Leather Armor (Premium Equipment) Leather Armor that requires 12 Strength, +26 Defense, +22 Fire Defense Resistance - Thick leather armor with excellent texture and no action resistance, treated with nitrate to prevent burning.

After rinsing it with water and then wiping it with alcohol, Shi Yinghu handed the Tain helmet to Finney beside him.

Although it was a piece of magic equipment, and even had the effect of strengthening skills, in Shi Yinghu's opinion, its actual use value was not as good as the cowhide armor in his hand, although the latter was one level lower than the former.

(This leather armor can be used as a replacement for snake armor, which has higher defense than lower-tier snake armor and has special fire resistance.) ）

After experiencing a battle with the giant ghoul king, Shi Yinghu's strength attribute still increased by +2 and his energy attribute increased by +1 without using free attribute points, but his agility attribute was not improved, which may be that the total agility bonus attribute of the Azure Ring Stacked Snake Pie set was too high, which affected his own training improvement.

Early the next morning.

Shi Yinghu and Finney, wearing a helmet and thick cowhide armor, arrived at an abandoned cemetery together.

Although that leather armor is her replacement equipment, she can't be denied Finney's use, and if she dies in battle due to lack of defense, she will have a guilty conscience.

Unlike the incomparably powerful evil spirit on the Black Witch Ship, after five days of preparation and investigation, Shi Yinghu and Finney have found the hiding place of this evil spirit.

After clearing out most of the ghouls in the vicinity (dark creatures like ghouls can't be completely cleaned, and most of them are cleared even if the task is completed), Shi Yinghu and Finney rode their horses here, tied their horses to the woods relatively far away, and then walked into the abandoned cemetery where the white mist floated in the early morning.

"Are you ready?" asked Shi Yinghu with his head tilted.

"Whew...... Of course. Finney exhaled softly, after experiencing the evil spirit of the necromantic curse, she still had a psychological shadow until now.

Receiving an affirmative reply from his companion, the mutated skeleton elite soldier beside Shi Yinghu directly slashed open the coffin in front of the two with a sword.

The earth and stone where the coffin was buried in this meadow had already been excavated, so the silver sword rainbow flashed, and the coffin lid was cut diagonally, revealing a dry skeleton that had long since decayed.

One of the troublesome features of the Earthbound Spirit is that no matter how many times you kill it, as long as its Spiritbinder is not destroyed, then no matter how many times the Earthbound Spirit dissipates, it can be resurrected.

This is actually the origin of the legendary lich's "life box" and "horcrux" abilities, to put it bluntly, in fact, driven by a powerful obsession, the powerful necromancer chooses to transform himself into another form of earthbound spirit.

The profession of necromancer faces death head-on, delves into death, and gains infinite power from death.

"Ah...... Ahhhhhhh

As Shi Yinghu unscrewed a tube of reagents and poured the reagents into it, in the coffin in front of the two of them, there were decaying and dry bones that had been dead for I don't know how many years...... It comes to life!

Wailing and screaming, it writhed violently in the coffin, and finally, it suddenly opened its eyes, and there was a soul body between the real and the illusory, gushing out from its mouth and nose, but it was a spirit that Shi Yinghu forced out with the manifestation potion.

Evil spirits, creatures of the lower plane between the virtual and the real, are immune to almost physical attacks, and can devour the fears of humans for short-term or even long-term blessings, and are very troublesome monsters.

However, at this moment, the evil spirit in front of him was found by the demon hunter to bind the spirit, and was forcibly forced out by the manifestation potion at dawn.

Not only has it been suppressed in all respects, but its strength has plummeted, and its "physical attack immunity" has also disappeared temporarily.

When the evil spirit swooped out and swung its knife at Shi Yinghu with great viciousness, the three skeletons around Shi Yinghu attacked at the same time.

On the other side, Finney, who had been preparing on one side for a long time, also shot, and her flame arrow with the dual attributes of fire and poison came to kill!

"Ahh

In the midst of such a fierce blow, the half-illusory phantom of the dark green skeleton dissipated with a scream.

The three skeleton warriors around Shi Yinghu couldn't find an opponent for a while, so they could only wander around their master aimlessly, while Shi Yinghu looked indifferent and slowly stretched out his palm to the hilt of the silver sword: If it is solved so easily, it will not cause big trouble to an army.

Suddenly!

A semi-illusory green skeleton phantom suddenly slashed out from Shi Yinghu's back, slashing at Shi Yinghu, but Shi Yinghu suddenly turned around and slashed obliquely with a sword, causing the demon hunting silver sword to sweep through the skeleton phantom's body at a faster speed than the ghost knife, and the silver long sword diffused a faint brilliance in the evil spirit's body.

Even if it was forced out by the manifestation potion, and at this moment it was in the morning light, the power of the evil spirit was greatly reduced, but even so, this evil spirit still had quite a strong power, and it could wander around Shi Yinghu from time to time: Shi Yinghu's side was too jealous of hatred, and Finney's side could let go and attack as much as he wanted.

The evil spirit that was broken by the manifestation potion of the "physical attack immunity" characteristic, the body was almost always bright with a halo of toxin damage, it was not rational, although all such evil spirits were almost the elite demon rank, but in fact, because of strong restraint, this evil spirit in the abandoned cemetery did not make Shi Yinghu and Finney feel too difficult to deal with.

In the end, after killing it, Shi Yinghu burned its wreckage, and it was only at this time that the system sent a kill prompt: "Kill the Hate Spirit and gain experience 729.6." ”

If you don't burn its wreckage, it can only be regarded as temporarily suppressed, and it won't be long before it can make a comeback.

After completing the tasks entrusted by General Hughton of the Duchy of Skadia, Shi Yinghu and Finney rested in the abandoned cemetery for one night, and after making sure that there was no second evil spirit, they rode their horses and began to return.

In the judgment of the system, the level experience of the evil spirits in the abandoned garden is higher than that of the giant ghoul king, but in actual combat, because the evil spirits are known, the giant ghoul king appeared by accident, so in terms of the difficulty of combat, the latter is higher than the former.

In the absence of targeted arrangement, you can only rely on hard power to take over all variables.

........................

Lush forests and clear water, the two rode together. On the black war horse that the man was riding, the head of the giant ghoul king was tied diagonally.

You have to prepare something to hand over to the public, otherwise, General Hughton's report will not be easy to write.

Shi Yinghu seems to be riding on a horse and closing his eyes to recuperate, but in fact, he is secretly mobilizing the qi and blood around his body, washing all parts of his body, hoping to complete the realm of dark energy covering the whole body and integrating the inside and outside as soon as possible.

In this world, the water seems to be quite deep, so if he does not enter the fairy realm of the Dan Dao people, Shi Yinghu does not dare to directly cultivate his true qi and expose his existence to this world.

"Senior Kate, in that direction, isn't it a town?"

At this time, Shi Yinghu heard the words of his assistant Finney, opened his eyes, and looked at the sky above Dog Town, where black smoke was faintly rising.

"Something happened. Subconsciously holding down the handle of the refined steel sword, Shi Yinghu frowned and said, the next moment, the two of them no longer walked slowly, and rushed towards the direction of the town at a faster speed.

At this time, the originally quiet town was already in chaos.

The corpses of several soldiers of the Duchy of Scadia were placed horizontally in the middle of the road, and in many cases, all problems could be suppressed without your strict military discipline and willingness to appease the civilians. In any case, for the people of the Ronalk Kingdom, after all, the Scadians are the invaders.

“...... I ask again, none of you have reported the murderer, have you?" General Hughton asked, standing in front of the many villagers of Dog Town.

And in response to him, it was a group of villagers and townsmen in front of him who bowed their heads and were silent.

"Good. That family, that family, and that family, killed me all their family. Ten of us have died, so I will destroy ten households, and I want to see if the necks of your bastards are really harder than knives!" With General Hughton's instructions and an order, the already indignant Scadia soldiers drew their swords and set fire to the house with torches.

The contradictions between the two sides already existed, and today's incident has intensified all this.

Civilians can't be a match for soldiers, but they can't be killed either, and the few families Hughton pointed out, some begging for mercy, some resisting, and the inhabitants of Dog Town keep fighting dogs, and at this time they release dogs to pounce on Scadia soldiers, and they are often killed with a sword.

No matter how ferocious a fighting dog is, it is only a dog after all, and they can play a very limited role in the face of well-trained elite soldiers.

Billowing smoke rose into the sky, and some other villagers who wanted to resist were directly suppressed and killed by the Scadia soldiers waiting on the side, and under the shock and fear of death, most of them could only quietly watch their old friends and neighbors being killed.

Hate?

Angry?

But what's the use of that? Both positive and negative emotions need to be embodied by force, otherwise they will have no effect on the objective world of reality except for harming themselves.

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

At that moment, a violent roar suddenly sounded in General Hughton's ears, and in a burning man's house, a calf-like bulldog suddenly burst out, and it helped its master to pounce directly on a Skadian soldier, tearing the soldier's neck open.

The soldiers surrounded him, but the big dog was extremely agile and agile, and under the threat of several long swords, he still swam left and right to rush forward and backwards, and in the midst of the roar, revealing unspeakable ferocity.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

The big dog was shot down directly, after all, it was just a fierce fighting dog.

"Dart!Dart!What's wrong with you?" a chubby little girl pounced on her, desperately clasping on the badly injured bulldog, her face soon covered with tears.

"General, her parents are dead, such a young child ......," said the young adjutant Bandart, who leaned over to his top superior, a little unbearable.

"Hmph, do you want to leave a little girl who is full of hatred for the principality to grow up? ”

"I, understood. Feeling the disgruntled eyes of his immediate commander, Bandart gritted his teeth, and then he pulled out the sword at his waist and walked towards the enemy girl who was crying with a badly injured dog.

"I'm sorry, but we are right and righteous, long live Skadia!"

Dart (the dog) struggled to his feet, screamed again in terror, and bit the young officer Bandart.

Bandart, who didn't expect this change at all, subconsciously reached out to block it, and was bitten on the elbow by the seriously injured bulldog.

Seeing that the commander was attacked, the Scadia soldiers around him drew their swords one after another, stabbed the bulldog Dart into a sieve, and even cut off his head with a sword.

Throwing off the dog's head on his left elbow, Bandart was really angry at this moment, and he stepped forward again and raised his long sword to kill the crying little girl.

However, at this time, there was a fierce sound of horses' hooves, because it was coming straight towards him, Bandart subconsciously raised his head, and the next moment, he saw that above the war horse, there was an extremely dazzling sword light slashing down.

Boom!

With the sparks splashing, the young adjutant's sword was swept away by Shi Yinghu on the horse.

Although Shi Yinghu is very clear about his identity, it is difficult to watch a little girl die in front of him like this.

"Mr. Kate, if I am not mistaken, the sword in your hand was given to you by my dear adjutant, and you will repay him like this?"

"We are demon hunters, and we will naturally do what we promise our employer, and from today onwards, neither you nor your army will be attacked by evil spirits, No, this will be given to you as a gift. With that, Shi Yinghu cut the rope and threw the rope bag containing the giant ghoul king's head in front of General Hughton.

“...... Since Mr. Kate knows that he is a witcher, he should match his identity, and the reward is ready, so you can go to the barracks to collect it yourself. Kate?? Brian, you're too presumptuous!" Seeing Shi Yinghu send the chubby little girl onto his horse, General Hutton's voice became more and more annoyed.

The Scadia soldiers surrounded him, and at the same time, Finney was also on horseback with arrows.

There were a large number of Scadia soldiers around, including swordsmen, spear and axe soldiers, archers and even a gun team, and if the two sides really fought, Shi Yinghu and Finney might not be able to fight their way out of the encirclement.

Shi Yinghu picked up Dart's head on the ground, put it in a hemp rope bag, and tied it around the neck of the war horse. Then, Shi Yinghu turned over and got on his horse.

"General Hughton, the two of us are just demon hunters, and we don't have too many positions, you may not need us in the future, why do you have to fight to the death?" When he said this, Shi Yinghu's body leaned forward, and a faint coercive momentum shrouded General Hughton's body.

It's close at hand, and it's all over the enemy. The distance between the two sides is not that far.

(If I had given the order to attack, he would have rushed over and killed me...... The soldiers around me may not be able to stop him. ）

(Damn, this military region still needs me to suppress it, and once there is chaos here, the supply of the front line will inevitably be affected.) Staring at the man in front of him, a faint sweat slowly slid down General Hughton's cheeks.

After a while, the man finally said with some difficulty: "You can take her away, but she will never come back." ”

"Naturally. After receiving an accurate answer, Shi Yinghu pulled the horse's head and left with the little girl in his arms and Finney.

If there is a fight, the net will break, but the fish may not die. With his current martial arts combat strength, it is difficult to kill all the Scadia soldiers around him, but after the death of General Hughton, Skadia's soldiers will inevitably fall into chaos, and even the villagers in Dog Town will riot, at that time, it will not be very difficult for him to get out of Finney, but in the chaos army, it is difficult to protect the safety of the little girl in his arms, the arrows are okay, and the bullets fired by the rifle team are too difficult for him now.

What's more, if there is a real fight, Shi Yinghu and Finney will become wanted criminals in the Principality of Skadia, and they are wanted by a big country, and this kind of thing can still be avoided.

He left with a little girl who had no relatives, and then found a village, entrusted her to an old woman with no children and left her enough money.

This is already the limit of what Shi Yinghu and Finney can do, as for how this little girl will live in the future, as for whether General Hughton will kill more people after the two leave, Shi Yinghu and Finney don't know, and they can't intervene.

Demon hunters are not judges, let alone gods, and many times even themselves are struggling between life and death against the torrent of fate.

On the other hand, Shi Yinghu saved the little girl, not just because of a moment of righteous indignation, Finney is indeed the same. And Shi Yinghu, his motives are not so pure.

........................

In a deserted mountain forest, Finney, wearing a leather helmet and armor, and holding a dark green poison bow in both hands, was on guard.

During the period when Senior Kate didn't come out by herself, she had to prohibit all living creatures from entering here to interfere with the senior.

Shi Yinghu told Finney that he suddenly realized that he was going to advance to the first-order necromancer rank, and Finney was surprised and stunned.

Despite knowing Kate?? Bryan graduated not long ago, and in fact he was still a necromancer apprentice who was not particularly outstanding in his studies, but as an excellent graduate, Finney, who was already a first-order peak Amazon professional, had always regarded the other party as a stronger, more mature, and better high-level witcher than himself, so that now that the other party was about to advance, it made Finney feel that there was a conflict between feelings and reality.

After clearing a piece of land in the middle of a mountain forest and guarding the outside, Shi Yinghu took off his snake witcher suit, changed into a college robe, and began a dark magic ritual from the forbidden book "Whispers of Darkness".

Academy Robes, (Premium Equipment) Leather Armor, +5 Mana, +25% Mana Regen Speed.

Using the remains of human ashes, draw a six-pointed star circle on the fully burned earth, erect wooden branches around it, and then set its tops on fire.

After doing all this, Shi Yinghu meditated, pondered, sorted out and confirmed the whole process, and then began to officially cast the spell.

In fact, in the case of a little skill point, Shi Yinghu can fill that skill point in the corresponding spell slot. However, although he has not failed, Shi Yinghu knows that even if there is skill point filling, the learning of spells has its chance of failure.

The less relevant knowledge you comprehend, the higher the chance that the spell slot will fail to solidify after the skill points are filled.

It's okay to fill in the fixed spell system according to the Necromantic Meditation Method step by step, but at this moment, he wants to summon the three-headed dog of hell and replace the clay stone demon summoning, which greatly increases the probability of failure to solidify the spell bit.

If the solidification fails, not only will a little skill be wasted, but it will also cause mental trauma to oneself.

Therefore, the use of the dark magic ritual in the forbidden book "Dark Whispers" is to reduce the difficulty of casting spells and increase the probability of successful spell bit solidification.

As his thoughts gradually cleared up, Shi Yinghu poured a small amount of explosives on the dark ritual array, and it was like a spark burning the plain, and the crimson flames soon burned in front of this man.

"How to keep, what is there, what ......"

"Is it nowhere to be found, no one knows......"

"Pin, brooch, or webbing, ribbon, or ribbon?"

"Door plugs, window clasps, big locks, keep the beauty, keep the beauty...... Don't let it go away. ”

"Can't you be distressed by a deep frown?"

"Can't drive away these messengers of sorrow?"

"The messenger of sorrow, the white-haired messenger of theft. ”

"No, nowhere to be found, no one knows. ”

"No, nothing, nothing keeps the present...... The face of the present. ”

"Do your best. Do all in one's power. ”

"The wise man has seen through everything...... And then...... Despair. Chanting the forbidden song "The Devil of Years", with the injection of magical power, the fire in front of Shi Yinghu is burning more and more, but it is no longer masculine, but blazing and violent.

It was as if it were the flames of hell.

"Gray hair...... Folds...... Dying ...... To death, to death, to a terrible death!"

"The shroud, the grave, the worm, go to decay, fall into decay...... Is it just because of moral discomfort that we have to watch sorrow happen?"

While chanting and injecting his own magic power, Shi Yinghu bent down and took out the things prepared in the bag under his feet.

First of all: three broken rubies.

Gemstones are divided into five grades: "broken", "cracked", "ordinary", "flawless", and "perfect".

Three shattered rubies, with Shi Yinghu's professional level and magic power, it is just right to control it, if it is a higher magic level, the magic circle in front of him will directly explode, of course, Shi Yinghu will be far away from the previous moment.

Secondly: the claws, the heart, and most importantly, the head.

"Sharp claws, running from the depths of hell with your master, quick, quick, quick!" said Shi Yinghu, throwing the treated air-dried dog paw into the fire.

This is the paw of the ghoul raised by the old village chief of Derek Village, Dillanke, and its final outcome was when he was guarding the skinning cellar, and was beheaded by Shi Yinghu with a sword, but since that time, Shi Yinghu has consciously collected items related to the completion of summoning spells.

"A violent heart, loyalty and righteousness are only exchanged for hate...... Instill power, take your master, your resentment, back into the world!" Throw the blackened embalmed heart into the fire, this is the heart of the fallen druid on the Dark Witch ship, the wolf and the dog are actually a creature, and between them can give birth to the next generation, the dog, that is, the domesticated wolf.

On the Black Witch Ship, the wild wolf fought to the death for its master, but was devoured by the fallen druid's heart, so its resentful spirit was always entangled in that heart, and was later plucked by Shi Yinghu, squeezed out the blood, embalmed, and collected.

Its sacrifice will bring greater and more power to the newborn Hellhound.

"Fury Soul...... Okay, I really can't make it up, anyway, I know you can hear it, think about your little master, if you are willing to serve me, I promise you to go and see her in the future, and take care of her for the rest of her life. With that, Shi Yinghu threw the head of Dart in his hand into the fire in front of him.

Immediately after, his hands were pushed forward and spread, facing the raging flame, Shi Yinghu closed his eyes, and felt with all his heart the fluctuations of every wisp of power that was gathering and forming in the flames.

"Show up, the testimony of my promotion to official necromancer, terrifying three-headed hellhound!" pushed his hands forward, converging his spiritual power and magic power and pushing it in, outlining a circle that overlapped with the dark ritual circle.

Summoning magic is summoning magic, and the dark ritual is the dark ritual, the two are actually two systems, but the dark ritual is all that is needed to summon the three-headed dog of hell, reduce the probability of spell failure, and increase the power of the spell.

With the overlap between the two systems, the hellfire within the circle became more and more intense, like a volcanic eruption.

Everything, revealed!
