Chapter 7: Loved Ones
The wails of the two monsters grew more and more terrible, and the more Canette listened, the more he understood what was going on: judging by the sound, it was just a big monster outside the village, and most of it was still a mother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
No wonder the monster has been out of control for the past few days...... After analyzing it, the witcher frowned: the little wolf would also languish when he heard the howl of the wolves and tried to resist and return to the pack, and so did this monster.
The villagers were already highly nervous. They shouted everywhere and began to gather all the night watchmen around the hut. Even others were awakened and began to rush out of their houses with their weapons in hand.
Just as the monster outside the village let out another angry roar, it slammed down from the edge of the cliff, broke through the fence, and stopped next to the cemetery.
The monster was revealed, a monster that resembled a tailless lizard. It is all black, with only one giant one-eyed. On his back was a small low tree bearing that blue fruit.
Damn! It turns out that this monster is ...... Immediately thinking about it in his mind, it dawned on Canette: I don't know.
If you had read it, Carnet would have remembered it. Memorizing the information of monsters is the key to the survival of demon hunters. For this reason, no witcher's apprentice is less guilty: memorize those thick books!
There are no official textbooks for demon hunters, and each academy will pass on knowledge to students according to the experience of their predecessors. In each world of the World Tree, different houses also regularly exchange information with each other. Therefore, how much knowledge you can learn about various monsters can basically be said to be completely dependent on the knowledge of your predecessors.
One of the purposes of Carnet's trip was to expand the college's collection. After all, the more a monster that future generations know, the more chance they may have to escape from death.
Rare monsters have, and are constantly mutating, generating new abilities. To this day, there are still many monsters that have not been left in the literature. One of the great advantages of Demon Hunters is that they can use their knowledge of enemy monsters to develop a strategy to ensure that they are defeated as safely as possible. After all, if you don't know enough about the monsters you are facing, the whole process of hunting demons will be extremely dangerous: they are likely to suddenly use some unimaginable tricks, and if they are hit, they may be killed.
It's like the move of Kalupol (Iron Armor Demon) to crush people after hugging in a group, I don't know how many witchers who saw this monster for the first time died on this move. That doesn't give reaction time at all and is almost unstoppable. And then there is a mutant creature like the acid great mantis, and no one would have thought that after dodging the scythe attack, they would suddenly be sprayed with strong acid.
In many demon hunting missions, the client does not know what the monster is, and at most provides some information such as the appearance of the monster and the location where it has appeared. Therefore, the witcher will go to the person who has witnessed it and visit the haunt to investigate, trying to determine what the monster is through clues, so as to set up bait and traps, and make alchemy items to prepare. Even if you can only face encounters with monsters, after seeing the monsters you have known for the first time, the demon hunter can quickly recall its weaknesses and deadly moves, and apply them to actual combat.
The words of the delegator can never be too trusted, they are not experts, and they may have seen something wrong. No matter how well you learn theory, you may encounter many variables in practice and fall into a crisis. Sufficient experience is the most important thing for a demon hunter, more important than hard power. When dealing with unknown monsters, the Witcher will face the greatest challenge, and must be careful and observe the opponent's tricks step by step. Then, as soon as an opportunity arises, use past experience to outsmart it.
Demon hunting is quite brainy, and no academy would want to hire idiots - unless you're an Aiya who isn't afraid of death. In a sense, this kind of race is surprisingly suitable for the work of demon hunters, because they can go up and observe tricks when they encounter monsters, and they are not afraid of death.
Demon hunters will carry a notebook to record the unknown monsters they have seen at any time, and write down the record of their combat experience. But the worst part is that many demon hunters didn't have apprentices in the past, so they hunted demons by themselves. Then after encountering an unknown monster and dying in the process, the corresponding experience cannot be passed on.
Because of this, every demon hunter basically has the need to accept disciples. lest his own unique knowledge form a fault and fail to pass it on. At the same time, I will return to the academy regularly to leave a copy of my notes as an insurance policy.
If the locals don't have a good way to call it or have trouble communicating with each other, then I'll have to name the monster myself...... It's called the blue-eyed lizard. Clenching his cane, Canette looked at the villagers who were clenching their weapons in fear and keeping a distance from the monsters, and suddenly wanted to laugh because of the schadenfreude: Why are you all cowardly now?
If you let me in, maybe I'll help you deal with the monsters...... Canette coughed triumphantly and shook his stiff shoulders: Maybe. Maybe I'd be happier to see the monsters reunited. But these money-grubbing people certainly don't want to see this.
The blue-eyed one-eyed lizard slammed into the ground in a furious manner, as if to send out a warning deterrent. The monster that was locked up in the ground kept screaming miserably, and the big monster began to scream in response. Although arrows began to shoot at the lizard, they were all blocked by the hard skin of the monsters.
Well...... Skins protect against arrows. This has to be noted along with the healing effect of the fruit on the back...... Pulling out his notes, Canette wrote down the name of the monster and drew the appearance as well.
This big lizard must have dozens of fruit trees on it...... Staring at the monster, Canette pinched the pen and sighed: it was really interesting to have such a short fruit tree growing on his back.
A villager carrying a medicine bottle quickly rushed into the hut and climbed down the straight ladder. In a few moments, the little lizard's miserable wail came to an abrupt end. The big monster hurriedly tried to call the child a few times, but there was no response, so it became completely enraged and began to roar in anger. In an instant, the one-eyed lizard raised its claws high, grabbed a tombstone, and smashed it into an archer. Then, another large rock was lifted and thrown into the crowd. In the next few consecutive attacks, the dizzy monsters are picking up things and throwing them around.
Well...... It seems that this monster likes to pick up things and throw them at people...... After thinking about it for a while, Cannet, who had just used his proud rapid sketching ability to draw the appearance of a monster in twenty seconds, also wrote it down: it doesn't seem to be a very threatening monster, just ordinary physical means.
In an instant, the one-eyed lizard's big eyes suddenly glowed red, shooting out a thick red ray.
