Chapter 108: The Demon in the Well
Although it is the lowest-level demon hunting mission, for Yang Hao and Yan Ni, it is a life-saving job to dance on the tip of a knife.
Demon hunting quests are often issued by uninformed villagers, and their descriptions are often incorrect, so you may encounter high-level monsters during a low-level demon hunting mission.
Even if you're lucky, if the monster's strength isn't too outrageous, the lack of information and mistakes will make the task twice as difficult.
At this moment, Yang Hao has no way back, either pass the test and stay in Kylemohan to become a demon hunter, or die, and then resurrect in Baishi Town, these few days are completely wasted (only by obtaining a profession can he leave a mark on the resurrection points around the city, and Yang Hao's current resurrection points are still in Baishi Town).
"You can choose any task, but you can only complete it alone, I hope to see you again, I need to go take a nap."
Viselmir waved his hand, yawned, and staggered away, leaving the two staring at each other.
There were not many options in front of them, only four parchment rolls.

There are many large humanoid footprints outside the house, and the villagers speculate that they may have been attacked by large gnolls. Ask the witcher to expel the monster as soon as possible.
Reward: All Orion's legacy, 40 silver.
After reading these task scrolls, Yang Hao had to sigh that Baiguoyuan Village was really a place full of disasters and difficulties, and there were traces of monsters everywhere.
Burnee chose the quest "Missing", she has some friendship with the mission's publisher, Doon, and she has also had experience fighting ghouls.
Yang Hao is most interested in the quest "Demon in the Well", judging from the name, this should be the most dangerous mission, and he will most likely face ghost-like undead creatures.
Yang Hao had never seen the ghosts in "Wizarding World", and his curiosity was aroused.
As a materialist warrior, Yang Hao did not believe in gods and ghosts in his heart, and he felt that it was likely to be caused by the rumors of the villagers.
And your daughter has a problem drinking water, just drink some clean water? What the hell is this logic.
Yang Hao felt that this might be the easiest task, so he decided to take on this task and find out the truth.
…
After asking for directions a few times, Yang Hao finally came to Baiguoyuan Village, which is a very prosperous small village.
It is more than twice as prosperous as Albel Village, which Yang Hao used to go to before.
First of all, the population is much larger than that of the village of Elbel, and because of its proximity to the city of Craig, the economic conditions are very good.
There is a special market in the village, and many villagers open a small shop or set up a stall in the market to make a living.
"This village is about to develop into a small town, and it covers such a large area, no wonder there are so many unlucky things."
Yang Hao walked on the avenue of the village and muttered to himself.
The villagers here are also very hospitable, knowing that Yang Hao is a demon hunter who came to help, and took the initiative to bring him to the home of the client of this mission, Ou Duolan.
"Uncle, thank you, go get busy."
Hearing Yang Hao say this, the big tree that led the way seemed to remember something important and left as if he was burning his buttocks.
"Lord Witcher, you're finally here, save my daughter. She's still so young, she can't die! ”
Odolan led Yang Hao into the room, and suddenly fell to his knees and pleaded bitterly.
"Has your daughter seen a doctor when she is sick?"
With such a large population in Baiguoyuan Village, there will always be a doctor.
"Of course, I saw it the day before. But the doctor said that my daughter had fallen under the curse of the devil in the well, and that she had to get rid of the demon and drink clean water in order to be saved. ”
Yang Hao: "..."Damn, this is a doctor or a wizard, do you want to be so professional." Are there really ghosts? Wait, what am I stupid about, it's a game and not reality. Hey, it's a brain pump.
It stands to reason that ghosts do not take damage from physical attacks, and only witchcraft attacks are effective.
Yang Hao had already learned the third trick-level witchcraft on the way, and he was still very confident in his strength in witchcraft, so he didn't care much about the threat of ghosts.
"Well, tell me the story of the well in detail, and don't hide it or exaggerate it."
"Yes, Lord Witcher. As I posted the mission information, the well was dug 20 years ago, and it is located in the easternmost part of the village, near the woods, so to speak, that it is no longer within the boundaries of the village.
It is said that a couple built a house and dug a well there, but the details are unknown, after all, it is very old, and no one rushed there.
Someone who had stumbled into it at night when he was drunk and saw a ghost with her own eyes, and she was wearing a dirty dress, as if she had crawled out of a grave, her skin peeling off her bones, and she was still wailing in pain. ”
The more Odolan spoke, the more frightened she became, and her body trembled.
These two days have been really difficult for him, and the life of his daughter, who is regarded as a treasure, hangs by a thread.
If it weren't for the hope of the witcher, he would have risked death to meet the female ghost.
"Don't worry, I'll find out the truth, even a ghost can't stop the power of witchcraft, the flames will send her home."
Yang Hao patted Ou Duolan's shoulder and said confidently.
