"Don't be nervous, outsider. "I heard from the villagers that you are very close to a few teenagers, and they have been collecting some herbs in the village two days ago, and I wonder if you have used them?"

"Yes. ”

"Although there is no shortage of living resources in our village, those herbs cannot be used by an outsider in vain, if you need the resources in the village, please exchange them for the corresponding items, or ask me for a trade, instead of instructing a group of young people to give you things for free. ”

Li Ben couldn't guess Terina's thoughts, if her words were pointed, but not true, did she really care about those herbs?

Or is it that she already knows about helping the barbecue master become a chaos hunter, but she doesn't plan to turn against herself right now, so she just plays a side game and hints at herself?

"I see, it's really me who is wrong, is there anything you need me to do?" Li Ben wanted to see what they were going to do next.

Terina said, "You can do me a little favor." She summoned Winnie and continued, "Please take Winnie back to her father." ”

It's the smell of traps.

"Why don't you go yourself? or call your men down. ”

"Does Mr. Li Ben even want to shirk this little favor?" said Niu Mo with a mocking tone.

Li Ben felt that there was only a layer of paper between them, and they were about to reach the situation of being poor and dagger. But I wasn't prepared enough, and it wouldn't be a good thing to rush into conflict with them here.

"Well, I promise you. But speaking of trading, I've heard that you've got a copy of an ancient wizard's notebook, and I'm curious if I'll ever have a chance to see it?"

"Do you want to join us? Mr. Leeben, it is much better to settle in this village than to risk your life in the wilderness. Terina said.

The implication is that the only way to read that notebook is to become a being like them.

"Okay, I'll go first if there's nothing else to do. When it comes to browsing books, Terina's approach is not surprising to Lee.

"Come with this gentleman to your father's, Winnie. ”

The little girl obediently walked up to Leeben, who found nothing unusual in Winnie's hunter perception. However, it is not surprising that his opponent is a person with sorcery beyond his own knowledge, and he can use some means to obscure his hunter's senses.

Walking out of the manor, Li Ben asked Winnie, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

The little girl shook her head.

"Didn't your mother do anything strange to you during this time?"

She still shook her head.

"Okay. Lee Ben gave up the question and took Winnie to the barbecue master's house.

When the barbecue master saw Winnie, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Ben, and then at Winnie, very incredulous.

Lee Ben nodded at him, and he was sure that it was his daughter, and came and crouched down in front of her, making himself as tall as Winnie.

The barbecue master didn't want to scare his daughter, and asked gently, "Are you doing well with your mother?"

Winnie shook her head.

"What did she do to you?" asked the barbecue master.

Winnie shook her head.

Li Ben sensed that something was wrong.

"Wait, this could be a trap. As soon as his words of reminder came out, a sudden change occurred.

Winnie's whole body began to tremble, rolled her eyes, and opened her mouth but could not speak.

"Get out of there!" Li Ben stepped forward and pulled away the barbecue master.

The little girl's neck suddenly cracked, and the spine on her back stretched violently, propping her head up in the air, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

Random her limbs, a similar change occurred, and in the frightened eyes of the barbecue master, a huge blood skeleton appeared from the little girl's body.

The Blood Skull slowly walked over to the Master Barbecue, hissing with its shattered trachea, and a few indistinct syllables came out of its mouth.

"Ahh Bar... Father... Daddy..."

The barbecue master was shocked by the horror of the scene before him, and even more painful was that he witnessed his daughter turn into a monster.

Now, the monster called out to his dad and walked towards him oozing blood.

The barbecue master doesn't know how to be good. Fear, pain, incomprehension, resentment, etc., these chaotic emotions made him sit on the ground with his mouth open and do not make any movement.

Li Ben felt Winnie's chaotic energy rise from nothing to the fourth-level level, and the terrifying blood skeleton in front of him was torn apart from the little girl's skin, and two eyeballs fell out of the scarlet skeleton's eye sockets and hung on the outside world. Some of her organs hung from large bones, while others were dragged directly on the ground.

With no other choice at the moment, Li Ben pulled out the victim and prepared to slay the monster.

But the barbecue master tugged at his legs.

"What do you want to do?"

"She's not your daughter anymore. ”

"No! Something went wrong! Maybe there's a way to get her to change back!"

For a moment, Li Ben thought of the crystallization of order, but that thing had disappeared, at least he couldn't let its effect come into play, otherwise the victim in his hand would be the first victim.

The thought flashed away, and he faced the current situation and understood the emotions of the barbecue master, but he also knew that it was just a self-escape that he couldn't accept reality for a while.

"I'm sorry!" Leeben broke free from his grip and swung out a change that turned him into a victim of the greatsword.

The blade sliced through the flesh and bones, easily slashing the blood skeleton to pieces.

But the scattered bone fragments did not stop moving, and they flew towards Li Ben one after another.

The right arm of the skeleton caught the hunter's sword-wielding hand, and the left arm locked his throat, and the tremendous force pinched Li Ben's throat to deform.

At the same time, its two legs and skull also pounced, kicked with its legs, bit with its teeth, and smashed Li Ben into the wall of the wooden house, broke through the wall, and fought on the road, the surrounding villagers screamed in fright when they saw this, some ran to hide in the house, and some rang the bell again.

The swamp monsters hiding beneath the silt are summoned by the bell to join the fight, and instead of the Blood Skeleton, they attack Leeben.

Seeing that the situation is not optimistic, the hunter no longer reserves and exerts his full strength.

First of all, he forcibly ripped open the bone claws that strangled his arms and neck, and although he tore off a large piece of his flesh, he also recovered it in an instant.

The blade of the victim was deformed again, forming a thick, three-edged pyramid with three rows of bone spurs distributed across the blade.

Lee Ben slammed into the swamp monsters that came at them, long ribs of bone spurs pierced into their bodies and pulled out, and the rancid green flesh pieces were brought down. The dead monster rotted like a puddle of silt.

But when he kills a swamp monster, more of the same kind emerge from the mud.

The Blood Skull Fragment that tried to take advantage of Li Ben's attack failed to succeed, and the Hunter's speed and strength far surpassed it.

The flying skull was smashed head-on by the victims, and the red and white streams inside fell to the ground.

The monster's limbs hadn't given up yet, and they attacked at high speed.

Li Ben grabbed its right arm with his left hand, stepped on its left leg with one kick, and then opened his mouth to clamp its left arm, swinging his sword to break the right leg of the blood skeleton flying in. Coherent.

Immediately afterwards, the victim smashed the leg bone at his feet, then the right arm in his left hand, and finally the left arm and smashed it with his sword.

At this point, the Blood Skull was completely destroyed.

He then had to face dozens of swamp monsters that were growing in number. It was not difficult to break through their encirclement, but Li Ben had not forgotten the barbecue master in the house, and leaving him in this place now was just sending him to death.

I thought they were targeting me, but I didn't expect it to be a barbecue master. Li Benxin said. What is the purpose of doing this?

Li Ben broke into the barbecue master's house, and the man who was severely mentally hit was still sitting on the ground. He was able to pass the Chaos Trial and become a hunter because of his unparalleled courage and determination to go to the trouble to save his daughter. If you can't get him to cheer up again, I'm afraid you won't even be able to use the Chaos ability, and even if you can, it will be extremely easy to be completely swallowed by Chaos.

"Master Barbecue, stand up! Your daughter isn't dead yet!"

Hearing this, the man suddenly regained his spirits, and his eyes revealed a look of strong anticipation and hope.

"Really?"

"I didn't lie to you. Although he is not sure, Li Ben does have relevant speculations, and at the moment, in order to make the barbecue master no longer decadent, he can only pretend to be categorical.

Hearing this, the barbecue master stood up, and he asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"We have to get out of here first. With that, Li Ben walked into the basement and retrieved his backpack, and the swamp monster broke in through the hole in the wall and the door.

"Come out with me. ”

The barbecue master has made up his mind to transform into the true posture of the Chaos Hunter.

He set his hands on fire, thick smoke swirling around him, and the heat in it distorted the air.

The two rushed into the monster group together, Li Ben slashed with his sword, and the barbecue master directly tore the monster with his hands, or burned it into dry soil and shattered it.

They escaped from the village, and under the leadership of Li Ben, the two fled north, came to the flooded forest land, and returned to the place where Li Ben killed the crow monster.

As soon as he stopped, the barbecue master couldn't wait to ask Li Ben, "What's the matter with you saying that Winnie is not dead?

"I don't know if it's Winnie or not, but I know that Terina must have other plans for Winnie and won't sacrifice her like that." ”

When the barbecue master heard this, he became anxious, grabbed Li Ben's collar and said, "You lied to me! How can you be sure!?"

Li Ben said calmly: "I have seen a doll in her backyard, there is Winnie's hair on it, the doll is used to seal and manipulate the soul, even if that girl is Winnie, her soul must still exist in the doll, as long as you master the doll, you will have the opportunity to find another body for her and make her reborn." ”

"Nonsense!

"You're not really a Chaos Hunter, you've never been trained, of course you don't know, and I've seen a female soul attached to a high-level machine made in the past!"

The barbecue master let go of his hands tremblingly, and he said, "You, you really didn't lie to me?"

"I'm telling the truth, I swear to death. ”

The man heads down, his eyeballs bobbing back and forth in his sockets, indicating that he is thinking quickly and trying to find a way out of his chaotic thoughts.

"If you say that, then we must go back at once. ”

"What are you going back to do? Looking for death?" Li Ben immediately asked him, "With your current strength, can you deal with Terina? Can you deal with Boris? And the dark aggregate that hides in the shadows and never appears, tell me, what is your plan?"

"I..."

"You don't have a plan, you can't even stop and think rationally, why would they let us leave so easily?"

"Easily?" the barbecue master remembered that Terina had never made an official move so far, "yes, why?"

"And what are they planning for me to bring Winnie to you and turn her into a monster in front of your eyes?" Li Ben looked at the barbecue master expressionlessly, he already had a guess, and the reason why he didn't know what to say was to see if the man in front of him still had the value of cooperation.

The barbecue master was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "It's to force us to leave, to make me give up saving Winnie, they must be planning something big, and they won't allow others to disturb them." ”

"That's what the words say, only then can you save your daughter. ”

"Do you already have a plan?"

"There are some. It's rude to say that, but if I hadn't told you that your daughter might still be alive, then you were dead, and according to their plan, the result would have been to kill me and flee, and then I wouldn't have any reason to go back to the village to trouble them, in fact they were afraid of me and not you, and if things did come to that point, I really wouldn't go back. ”

The barbecue master said: "Actually, you can leave me completely now, you told me that information is enough, and I have no way to repay you." ”

"Is this like what a person who wants to save his daughter should say? If I really leave, you will never be able to save your daughter, you should try to keep me now. ”

The barbecue master thought about it, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

However, Li Ben didn't feel that his current self was really such a person with ancient ways, and he also had his own purpose - the wizard's notebook.

After the Winnie incident, he became more and more convinced that it contained information that would be useful to his study of the Old Gods and the threat to the depths of his soul.

Turning a person from a normal state to a level 4 chaos monster is not a common form of sorcery or magic, and I haven't even heard of similar examples in the hunter course.

"The world is full of unknowns, and if you want to know the truth, you can only grasp it with your own hands. Li Ben inadvertently uttered the words of his heart.

The barbecue master on the side listened and thought thoughtfully.

At night, they build platforms between tree trunks, light bonfires, and hunt some fish to eat.

"Don't you know about that otherworldly man?" asked Li Ben.

The barbecue master replied, "I don't know much, but I've heard of a guy who doesn't speak the lingua franca coming to the village, and it wasn't long before someone took it to Terina." From that time on, I would often go to the entrance of the village to try to warn those who wanted to enter the village. ”

"Actually, I'm also from another world. ”

"Oh... Huh?" The barbecue master looked at Li Ben in surprise, and immediately said with relief: "I really didn't see you transform in the previous battle, and your sword doesn't look like an ordinary silver sword." ”

"Are you an alien belonging to the Navigator Order?"

"Nope. Li Ben shook his head, "I was taught the skills by a Chaos Hunter leader of a tribe, his name is Jeffrey. ”

"But that's all in the past... If I were them, I would definitely spread unfavorable remarks about you and me in the village, claiming that you and I have been corrupted and controlled by chaos, whether the villagers believe it or not, they will understand the attitude of the masters, and if they want to get close to the village again, they will definitely be aware of it. ”

"We can't go toe-to-toe with them, and they don't want to dwell on us in a pinch, which is what we're in. All we have to do is figure out what their real plans are and grasp their weaknesses. And on the other hand, seek other help as much as possible. ”

"I'm going to sneak into the village and get in touch with Aaron and them, and investigate more. And you, you need to do it......"

"No, it's too risky! And I can't involve anyone else. The barbecue master showed extreme reluctance after hearing what Lee Ben wanted him to do.

"This is the only way we can possibly fight them, and you have also seen those monsters coming out of the swamp, seemingly endless, and how many unknown things are hidden in them, who can tell?"

"I don't have much contact with Terina, but I can tell that she doesn't exactly treat the villagers as livestock, she has her own ultimate ideals, and I guess her goal is to turn everyone into monsters with the power of chaos. ”

"Why do you think that?" asked the barbecue master, puzzled.

"She's a prophet to your tribe, isn't she? Her mission is to keep the villagers safe and needy, and until she gets her hands on that wizard's notebook, these things are crushing her heart like a mountain..."

"Are you saying that Terlena will be what she is for us?"

"Of course, there are those weird forces at work, but from another point of view, it's true. She still hasn't given up that responsibility, but under the influence of the forces of chaos, the way to fulfill the responsibility has become unscrupulous, distorted and terrifying. ”

"If you do what I say, Terina won't let the villagers get hurt. Li Ben said categorically. He couldn't show the slightest hesitation at this point.

The barbecue master was silent for a long time, thinking of his daughter, and finally said, "I understand, just do it according to your method." ”
