0024 A water monster blocking its path
"I think we need to buy a private machine car, which is not the same as a bus. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After investigating the Hope Farm, the Underworld Hunters returned to the Underworld Capital, and immediately set off to the Underworld Medical College for the next on-site investigation, but the public agency car that went there did not appear for a long time, and Hong Ying looked at the stop sign and complained very anxiously.
"Due to the large passenger flow, this bus is the same as the two sides, but at this time, there is no stop at the two stations," Lu Yao looked at the two "on the way" signs displayed on the stop sign, and tilted his head slightly: "It is judged that there is a 'wanted ghost' on the way and is waiting to be processed." β
The term "wanted ghost", "wanted monster", and "wanted monster" is a proper noun for the Ranger Guild, which refers to a powerful monster that appears in a fixed location with little to no mind and only acts on instinct near the place where it appears. The Demon Realm and the Demon Realm had taken this monster away to try to educate them, but there were no successful examples at all, and they were eventually abandoned, and because they generally couldn't do anything to harm the residents, and they were not within the scope of the business of hunting, so almost all of them were dealt with by the Ranger Guild, which likes to prevent trouble before it happens.
"Although that is the duty of the Ranger Guild, their process is generally to send people to investigate the strength of that monster first, and then issue a corresponding commission according to the difficulty." Wei Yi thought for a while and made a decision: "This time, even if the wanted ghosts are blocking the way, but because it hinders the normal traffic of the underworld, we can take action, now it just depends on whether everyone still has the physical strength to go on another hike." β
The captain of the Underworld Hunt looked around at the three companions, Li Ya smiled and nodded, Lu Yao blinked and said "Yes", and the energetic Hong Ying ...... There's no need to ask him anymore.
"Okay, then let's go now," Wei Yi flicked his cloak and walked south along the main road first, "It should be noted that unlike the farm, which is almost always plain, there are more rivers and forests here, so you need to be more careful when walking on the road and the ghosts that may jump out of unexpected places. β
"Understood." The eldest lady straightened her wrist, made a gesture of holding the crossbow, and made some adjustments, and something like a shadow appeared and disappeared.
"Ring, turn on auto-seek enemies." The hooded girl whispered instructions as she fluttered along.
"Hehe, I'm afraid they won't come out." Hong Ying carried the giant axe and walked at the end.

The official road to the south is not a straight line, but three or four bends to avoid the steep mountains and the flow of the tributaries of the Styx, although the name is a tributary of the Styx, but these small streams and rivers eventually merge into the "Lake Styx" next to the Underworld Medical College, and they do not have the particularity of the real Styx, just a very cold ordinary flow, the water in these small rivers is so clear that it is almost non-existent, you can directly see the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river, and the fish in it are clear at a glance - except for the one that suddenly jumped out.
"Hostile monsters spotted." "Whoa!" "Poof!" "Bang!" When walking across a stone bridge across a stream, Lu Yao looked at the stream under the bridge with a little confusion, and when he stopped to observe, something suddenly burst out of the water and pounced, Li Ya raised his hand and shot a crossbow arrow glowing with black light, fixing the thing in mid-air, Hong Ying swept it far away, and the invisible monster seemed to be very angry, and when it fell back into the water, two water arrows flew back, which were bounced away by Wei Yi, who turned back.
"Invisible Fish, Goblin, Biting and Water Arrow Attack, Trait: Permanently Invisible, Threat: Low." Lu Yao's gaze swept across the water, raised his hand slightly, and three golden lights appeared under the water, with the outline of a giant fish half a human in height, they seemed to be very afraid of being revealed, and immediately turned around and fled, swimming far away until Lu Yao's mark disappeared before stopping.
"Hey, I should have kept one just now, I heard this thing tastes good." Hong Ying shook the water stains on the axe and said regretfully. "No, these fish usually inhabit the Stygian Lake, and their size makes it impossible for them to survive in the river," Wei Yi put away his twin spinning sticks and frowned slightly, "Unless someone specially catches them here and releases them, or some more powerful aquatic creatures drive them out." β
"Isn't it the reason for the 'wanted ghosts'? Even if it doesn't do anything out of it, it will scare other monsters away. Lea waved his hand away and guessed.
"Maybe, everyone be more careful, there may be monsters that are scared," Wei Yi nodded, turned around and continued to hurry, pausing slightly when passing by Lu Yao's side: "Tell us what you find next time, don't investigate by yourself." β
"Its attack is for the [Aura]'s autonomous defense-" Lu Yao seemed to be planning to analyze the comparison of the strength of the two sides, and finally gave up under Wei Yi's gaze, turning his head to the side: "-Okay." β

"Ghost Horned Sheep, Half-Spirit, Dash and Stampede Attack, Trait: Unicorn Break, Threat: Very High...... Hey? After that, the road was quite unpeaceful, and many ghosts that should not have appeared in this environment jumped out inexplicably, but compared to attacking passers-by, their behavior was more like frightening and attacking whatever they saw, so they didn't cause much trouble to the underworld hunting team, but when a goat with a single horn appeared, it startled Lu Yao.
"What do you say? This thing is powerful? Hong Ying, who was far faster than he thought, had already swung his axe and knocked the goat to the ground, and was a little surprised to hear the girl's words.
"I probably guessed what Xiao Yao's threat evaluation is based on," Li Ya walked to the place where the ghost horned sheep fell and picked up the smooth unicorn left behind after it disappeared: "It should be the level of threat to yourself, right?" Since this thing will ignore all spell shields, your Aura should count as a spell as well. β
"Generally speaking, you can make it into the tip of a spear or a gun, but none of us will make it, so it's better to go back and leave it to Director Ren," Hong Ying was not interested in this thing: "After all, no one will poke people with a single horn, and if it is damaged even a little, the magic breaking effect will disappear, which is simply chicken ribs." β
"Even this kind of monster with almost no natural enemies has been scared away, it seems that the wanted monster we are looking for is not trivial," Wei Yi was vigilant: "Everyone be careful, I think that monster should be in front." β
"Aangβ"
"Damn, this is obviously a wanted ghost, how could it stop us?" "Master, driver, are you holding down its tail?" "Turn around, turn around!" "Get out of the way!" "Hold on, it's here again!"
"Boom!" A high-pitched roar proved that Wei Yi was right, and the sound of steel crashing and screaming and scolding showed that the public office car that had not arrived until it had arrived was nearby, and that it was not a small trouble, and the Hunters looked at each other and hurried to the direction where the sound came.
ββββ
It was a huge blue monster, two or three stories tall, with a huge body covered in scales, two huge fins on each side of the body, and three long necks and three very vicious heads at the top, which looked like dragons. It was constantly attacking the yellow machine car trapped in front of it, no, it was not so much attacking as playing, it alternately rammed the machine with its three heads, and as soon as the car was about to leave, it rushed over with its fin-like limbs to intercept it and repeat the impact, and judging by the spirit of the passengers, no one should have been hurt.
"Lord of the Styx, Half-Demon, Impact, Breath Attack, Traits: Extra Strong, Regeneration, Earth, Water and Wind Immunity, Internal Strife, Threat: Medium." Lu Yao looked up at the big blue man for a while, and analyzed its information.
"Tsk, the Ranger Guild can't give it a first-level evaluation now." Hong Ying was completely unaffected by the enemy's size, and was eager to try it with his axe.
"Since you are the Lord of the Styx, why did you climb ashore to such a distant place?" Li Ya's focus is different from Hong Ying's. "If you want to defeat it, I'm afraid you'll have to rely on that 'infighting' trait......" Wei Yi narrowed his eyes as he watched the giant water monster move.
At this time, one of the heads of the Lord of the Styx hit the machine car more, but the other head did not hit it, and was run far away by the car, and it quickly ran over to stop the machine car, but the head that missed the impact turned around and bit the head that hit more, and the other party also bit back without showing weakness, so the remaining head happily hit the machine car by itself, until the other two fighting heads felt that they were both at a loss, and then returned to the situation of alternate collisions.
I see.
