Chapter 0380: Hilichurls
The two glanced at each other, Su Ge did not relax his vigilance, his spiritual energy was not released, and he clenched his cane and did not move.
The butcher stood on the door panel, his body was very thin, but he gave people the feeling of a rock.
Like a black stone that has been beaten by countless winds and rains, it is hard and stable.
Zheng!
The friction of metal suddenly sounded, and the serrated machete in his hand folded up with a flick, making a dry and hard sound: "You are really a master." ”
Hearing him speak, Su Ge's heart was at ease. Because at least that means that the butcher is not controlled by those strange things, and he is not out of control and crazy because he sees something.
For now, at least, he is still human, on the same side as himself.
Su Ge slowly relaxed his cane and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency's momentum just now is too terrifying. ”
The butcher looked down at the door panel under his feet and said, "The fist I just used can pierce the iron plate with one punch." ”
"Fist!?" Suge's heart skipped a beat.
The sound like a sledgehammer chiseling just now was actually caused by his fist!?
"How horrible is this guy's body!?" Suge was full of vigilance.
The butcher continued: "But there is nothing wrong with this thing, don't you think it is strange?"
Suge suppressed his shock and looked down at the door panel on the ground.
At this time, the dust cleared, and Su Ge could see more than a dozen shallow fist prints on the gray-black door panel.
"What is this?" Suge's eyes sparkled.
From the sound of the impact just now, he clearly knew how terrifying the power of that fist was.
And what surprised him even more was that this wooden door, which seemed to be about to decay, actually withstood this power.
The butcher walked down from the door, glanced at Erha beside Su Ge, and asked lightly, "Have you met anyone else?"
"I met one and was killed by me. Suge said.
The butcher was silent for a moment: "I met more than a dozen, and I killed all of them. ”
"Are they all possessed by those bone ooze monsters?" asked Suge.
The butcher shook his head: "They seem to see something, black hair grows all over their bodies, and they go crazy. ”
"Have you encountered a demon?" asked Suge.
"Demon!?" The butcher was more talkative and seemed to be more willing to talk than before.
Su Ge nodded, and recounted in detail what he had just seen.
The butcher responded, "It is indeed the means of the Fire Demon. ”
Then the two men suddenly fell silent, each thinking about their own business.
"What do you think has to do with the Abyss?" the butcher asked after a few minutes or so.
Su Ge shook his head: "I don't know, but since there are demons infested, it has something to do with the abyss." ”
The butcher turned to the sea of fog not far away and said, "Now you should find the three archbishops as soon as possible. ”
"It's a very weird city, I just walked for an hour and got lost. Suge talked about what he had just done.
The butcher looked back at the road and said, "It's very strange, although we both fell from the sky, we are in completely different positions, as if we have experienced spatial confusion." ”
"How so?"
"I had obviously fallen from the sky, but when I came back to my senses, my body was in a closet, and that closet seemed to be some kind of living thing, ready to eat me, and then dismembered by me. ”
"The same goes for other people I saw along the way, some in the trash can, some in the sewer, and even I saw a person with half of his body stuck in the wall, which was weird. ”
After hearing this, Su Ge immediately thought of the two clergy who had just gone into the sewer, and his heart suddenly changed.
They didn't walk in, they weren't dragged into it by anything, they fell from the sky and went straight into the sewers.
Thinking of this, Su Ge was more cautious in his heart, turned his head to look at the situation around him, and then his eyes suddenly fell on the jars that were smashed by Erha.
These jars are pottery fired from clay, the inside is relatively rough, the outside is very smooth with dust, and there are subtle and delicate lines on them, which shows that the author was very careful when the porcelain was first fired.
Su Ge bent down and picked up the bottom of a porcelain bottle that was still complete, and after looking through it carefully, he found that this kind of porcelain firing method had never been seen before, and the technique and heat were very backward.
"These things should be a long way away from modern times. Suge said.
The butcher bent down and casually picked up a bottle and looked at it, and said directly: "This is the firing method in the Shen Dynasty period, and it is the method of firing in an earthen kiln. ”
"Clay kiln firing, you know a lot about this?" Su Ge stood up and was stunned.
The butcher said lightly: "I like to carve porcelain, so I have some knowledge about this aspect." ”
"These jars are at least 8,000 years old, and any one of them is a priceless treasure. It should be painted with the main patterns and words of the time, so you can know the social situation at that time. I don't know who broke it like this, it's a pity. The butcher held the fragment with a look of regret.
Hearing this, Erha leaned slightly towards Su Ge's side, and turned his eyes to look outside the church, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.
The corners of Su Ge's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart was full of regret and embarrassment and asked, "Can you get any clues?"
"It's all broken, and it's completely messy, and it will take at least ten hours or even longer to restore it, which is a waste of time. The butcher said as he placed the fragment in his hand on his body as a memorial.
Su Ge lowered his head and glanced at Erha, who shrank his head and hid behind the black cloak, looking innocent.
The butcher then said, "If you don't have any clues here, then follow me back to mine." I found a passage on the bridge that led to the rest of the city, but there was a group of hilichurls on it, and I couldn't get through. ”
"Hilichurls!?" Suge immediately thought of the dwarf, ugly monsters he saw as he fell,
The hilichurls are a low-level clan and need 28 psionic vision to see.
The average height of these creatures is about 1.2 meters, their skin is red, they live in groups, and they have intelligence similar to that of humans, but they are even more crazy.
Extremely cruel by nature, and devotion to the Black Blood Twins, they are always thirsty for blood, tearing them apart when they encounter them, draining all the blood before killing them.
Hilichurls have a physique far beyond normal people, possess certain mystical resistances, they are very powerful, fast, can use weapons, cruel and cunning, equivalent to a professional-level martial artist.
The herd hilichurls are led by a hilichurl sacrifice that uses two or three spells, which is very difficult.
A group of hilichurls is about a hundred, and they don't usually go it alone.
Su Ge was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay." ”
Then, the two men walked down the stairs where the butcher had just come.
Walking through the dark and damp corridors one after the other, the butcher said, "Since we are going to fight together, we should familiarize ourselves with each other's knowledge. ”
Suggen sighed: "I agree. ”
"My knowledge is simple, I can only use one spell. The butcher said very generously.
"Only one spell?" Suge was stunned.
The butcher continued, "I'm going to only have one basic spell: Strengthening, which I've been using since I became a Mystic. ”
"You relied on the knowledge of this basic spell to go all the way to the master?" Su Ge's expression was full of shock.
The butcher nodded, "Yes." ”
Su Ge came back to his senses and introduced, "My knowledge is sound waves, you should know some of it. Through the vibration of sound waves, shields can be formed, throwing knives can be formed, and pathfinding can also be carried out. ”
After a brief introduction to each other, the two had already walked down the steps to a circular room.
It resembles a dungeon, circular in shape, about ten meters in diameter, surrounded by solid walls, and a chair is placed on one side.
There was a man sitting on the chair, and this man was a witcher.
His limbs were shackled to the chair and he couldn't move, and his eyes were gone for some reason, leaving only two bloody holes.
Blood ran down his face to his chest, and he was no longer breathing.
There was no one around, and based on the previous situation, he was probably handcuffed to a chair when he came back to his senses. The butcher said.
Suge looked closer, and found that the shackles were covered in dust and rust, and even the dust on the chain collars was still there, and it was obvious that the last time the shackles moved was an unknown number of years ago.
And the witcher seemed to appear here out of nowhere, his limbs just in the middle of the four shackles.
"Who gouged out his eyes?" Su Ge looked a little puzzled.
The butcher replied, "Scourge hunter." ”
"How do you know?"
"Guess. ”
“......”
Suge didn't go any further, but got up and saw the butcher climb up the top of the ladder in the middle.
Su Ge also climbed up, and after taking two steps, he suddenly thought of Erha underground.
Erha shook his head, very chic, which means that you go up first, don't worry about me.
Suge shook his head with a smile and climbed up the ladder.
In such a miserable and desperate place, Erha can always relax and soothe his faintly trembling and fearful heart.
"When did the Hound of Tyndalus have such a funny character. Su Ge couldn't help but think in his heart.
The ladder is completely vertical, about ten meters high.
After the two of them climbed up one after another, Suge unexpectedly found that this was a small and simple wooden house.
The house was made of wood and stone, and the interior was very simple, with a bed, a desk, a chair and nothing else.
The ground was not even paved with bricks, but uneven dirt.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, and Erha's form appeared in the wind and stopped at Su Ge's feet.
The butcher's face was a little moved when he saw this.
Because of this creature, he had never seen it, let alone heard of it.
"It's a grave keeper's room. The butcher said, and walked out through the door.
"How do you know?"
As soon as Su Ge finished asking, he realized that he had asked a lot of redundant words.
Because outside this hut is a very desolate cemetery.
The cemetery is large, circular in shape, and has a diameter of 50 meters.
And there is no regularity in the cemetery.
The tombstones were piled up in a mess, and there was even a large number of coffins in the middle that had not had time to be buried in the ground.
These coffins are stacked with those tombstones like discarded building materials, which is strange and oppressive at the same time.
The cemetery was surrounded by crooked tombstones, overgrown with weeds, and the ground was damp and muddy.
At the edge of the cemetery there are many long crooked trees, and four gray stone sculptures stand at equal distances.
The stone carving is about five meters high and is exquisitely crafted.
Only one of the stone carvings is human, and the remaining three are non-human.
At the end is a giant monster with a snake-like body and wings on its back.
Directly in front of it was a giant spider-like creature with many legs, hideous and terrifying.
On the left is a robot-like human with two giant pythons wrapped around its body.
Finally, near the two of them was a tall, robed man.
However, what is strange is that these four statues are different in shape and lifelike, but at this time there are no heads.
Except for the absence of a head, the rest of the statue is very neat and sturdy.
Su Ge looked at the four statues suspiciously, and thought of the statue in the square before.
The statue also had no head.
"What does that mean, why don't all the statues have heads?" asked Suge.
The butcher looked up at the statue and said calmly: "There is no such thing as perfection in the world, and man is not qualified to look directly at the gods, even the statues of the gods. ”
Su Ge's heart jumped: "You mean, these four statues are statues of gods?"
The butcher nodded, but did not speak.
Suge fell into deep contemplation.
Woowoowoo......
In contemplation, the piercing and high-pitched scream sounded again.
This time, Suge heard it more clearly.
It means that the two of them are closer to the monster.
The butcher walked down the steps of the cemetery and said, "Let's go, our target is the monster, but before that, we need to deal with the hilichurls." ”
Suge nodded and followed him out.
There are three forks in the road leading out of the cemetery, each leading into the town, and directly in front of it is a relatively low square.
There were many corpses of the clergy in the square at this time.
All of them were dismembered by an indescribably sophisticated method, like brutes being handled by the most skilled butchers.
These people, naturally, were killed by butchers.
"How did you do that?" Suge asked, looking at an arm, shocked.
The arm was precisely severed through the gap in the joint, without injuring excess muscles, not even bones.
The butcher waved the serrated machete in his hand.
"I used this thing to carve the shading of porcelain for twelve years in a row. ”
Su Ge's eyes widened: "How do you use this inscription?"
"First the porcelain without lines is fired, and then you control your force and angle, and use the serrated tip to pierce and cut. ”
"Pay attention to some force, otherwise the porcelain will easily break. ”
"You said that the inscription shading was carved hard after the porcelain was fired!?" Su Ge looked incredulous.
This difficulty is dozens of times more difficult than carving stone carvings.
After all, porcelain is so thin and extremely fragile.
"Practice makes perfect. The butcher said four simple words.
