At nightfall, the checkpoints set up in the Nueva Porto region in the Newsky Mountains were much more lively than during the day, and the people who had gone into the forest during the day to hunt monsters and beasts returned to the checkpoints one after another, most of them were more or less wounded, and some of them were left in the forest forever.

Although the new Pota area will regularly clear the surrounding monsters, reducing the danger of monster attacks in the entire area, but after each clearance, there will still be some monsters who will continue to hide in the cleared area, unless the monster's activity area is in the core area of the new Pota area, otherwise, these monsters that have not been completely eliminated will be handed over to hunters and mercenaries to deal with.

These monsters are able to evade the liquidation of the army in the New Porta region, and some of them are even able to escape after fighting with the army and the special departments of the New Porta region, all of which prove that they are powerful, and unlike other monsters, they are more intelligent, and even some monsters mutated by transcendents are hidden in them, such as the monster entrenched in the forest around this outpost is likely to be a monster after the mutation of the transcendent or the family.

For ordinary people, monsters are just monsters, and whatever was before monsters, now it's just one thing, and that's monsters.

But for hunters, mercenaries, and other official departments formed specifically to eliminate monsters, there are actually many types of monsters that appear after the fog year, and most people are used to dividing them according to ethnic groups, such as beasts, supernatural creatures, and monsters transformed from humans.

More than ninety-nine percent of the monsters in these three categories are those beast monsters, because the reproduction power of the beasts has increased exponentially after the fog disaster, which makes the beast group grow explosively, and the mutated monsters have also increased rapidly, even if the human civilization society tries its best to hunt and kill these beast monsters, and even hunt and kill the beast groups that have not yet mutated from the root, but it still can't stop the growth of beast monsters.

If someone can make a complete map of the distribution of monsters, then they will find that whether it is the Vilun continent, or the Moisan continent, or even the Minsk continent, the towns of those civilized countries have all been surrounded by beast monsters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the world after the fog disaster belongs to the world of beast monsters.

If it weren't for the fact that these beast monsters prefer to instinctively devour other beast monsters to increase their own strength, perhaps the entire civilized world would have been swallowed up by the endless tide of beasts and monsters by now, except for a few core city-states.

Although the number of beast monsters is so large and so terrifying, for human society, there is no need to worry about these beast monsters for the time being, and it is only necessary to deal with the monster beast tide that occurs every once in a while.

What really poses a huge threat to human civilization and society are those monsters that transcendent creatures and human beings mutate, most of these monsters still retain their pre-mutation wisdom, and even become smarter, they are not like those beast monsters that still follow the animal nature of the past, and there are traces of attack methods, their behavior and ideas are disorderly, chaotic, and the means of attack are not fixed, and they even know how to avoid danger.

These monsters don't like to devour other monsters, they prefer to devour humans, and it seems that they can extract something useful for themselves from human bodies, so even if these monsters account for less than one percent of the monsters in the entire world, they are far more threatening to human society than those beast monsters.

Among these two types of monsters, the number of monsters mutated by transcendent creatures is even less, and most of them like to entrench in fixed habitats and activity areas, as long as they do not enter that area, or their activity area does not shift, ordinary people will not encounter danger.

However, this is not the case with monsters mutated by humans, some of them will even disguise themselves as normal humans to infiltrate human society, silently hunting ordinary humans around them.

These monsters are very strong in disguise, and they are in little danger of being exposed until they start attacking the humans around them, and among these human mutated monsters, those mutated relatives are the most difficult to expose.

Because these mutant families can not only transform perfectly into monsters and human forms, but can even disguise themselves as clergy through their own power, and they also retain most of the wisdom, memories and even behaviors of human beings, and some monsters are also married in human society, forming families, and so on.

For example, the primary hunting task on the bulletin board of this sentry post in the deep mountains is to hunt down a monster hiding in human society and disguised as a clergyman.

The bounty on this monster has increased several times in recent months, making it one of the highest bounties in the New Porta region, and the content of the bounty has changed from hunting to capturing alive, and even the latest content has been changed to just provide the correct location of the monster to be able to get this bounty.

Attracted by the huge bounty, a large number of hunters and mercenaries came to this outpost in the mountains, looking for the whereabouts of the monster in the mountains every day.

It's just that these hunters and mercenaries have been searching for many days, but they have not been able to find any traces of the existence of this monster, so some people wonder if this monster is in this deep mountain and forest area.

In the face of the doubts of the hunters and mercenaries, the New Portato region gave a very positive answer, saying that the monster was still in that area, but did not explain why the monster had not fled to other areas.

If it was just the news released by the new Bodo government, it would not have convinced the hunters and mercenaries completely, but after that, the Church of the Lord of the Sky also sent their holy warriors, high-ranking priests and Templar guards to the outpost and entered the mountains and forests every day to search for the whereabouts of the monster, and they completely believed that the monster was still hiding in this area.

The reason why the Church of the Lord of the Sky is so concerned about this monster, and even did not hesitate to agree to some requests of the Dodd Group, but also to send someone into the mountains to hunt and kill this monster is entirely because this monster pretends to be a high-ranking priest of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and it is not just an ordinary missionary priest, but the kind of priest who can perform the divine skills of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

If it hadn't happened to fall into the trap set by the special department when it was preying on humans, maybe it would still be perfectly disguised as a priest and admired by everyone.

A priest who can perform divine magic turned out to be a man-eating monster, this matter is a very heavy blow to the reputation of the entire Sky Lord Church, although this is not enough to shake the foundation of the Sky Lord Church, but the follow-up impact is very far-reaching, if this matter is not solved in time, then sooner or later, sooner or later, there will be a crack in the Sky Lord's Faith Tower.

This is because this incident has caused the people to have extreme distrust of the Order of the Children of the Sky, one of the core forces of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and many people even think that the Lords of the Sky Clan of this Order are all man-eating monsters.

Before the Year of the Fog Plague, almost all the Dependents were no different from monsters in the eyes of ordinary people and even some secret forces, but with the gradual return of the gods, coupled with the rapid mutation after the Year of the Fog Plague, people have begun to understand the special group of Dependents better, and can distinguish them from monsters.

Compared with those ownerless clans who are still regarded as monsters, those who believe in gods and spirits are still in a completely different position, most of them are regarded as children of God by ordinary people, and the church also recognizes their status, and even gives them the right to match their identity, and even some of the rights of the church have been transferred to these sons of gods, such as the Church of the Sea, the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and so on.

This is not because these church leaders are willing to give up their power and hand it over to others, but with the return of the gods, the strength of these gods' families is rapidly increasing every day, and they can even obtain extremely clear oracles directly from the gods, no matter how strong the church leaders are, but in the face of the pressure of the gods, their strength will all become invisible.

Although this disguised clergy incident can hit the prestige of those sons of God in the church, and the high-ranking clergy within the Church of the Lord of the Sky will be happy, but only if this blow does not affect the entire Church of the Lord of the Sky, no matter how much they fight for power, they know very well where their roots are.

Therefore, the incident of the monster disguised as a priest within the Church of the Lord of the Sky is also extremely unified, and all the sects in the church are trying their best to cooperate, and the team is composed of two sons of God, two high-ranking priests, four holy warriors who have been baptized by the gods, and eighteen temple guards, such a strong lineup is very rare, and some people joke that if such a lineup cooperates with the believers of the Lord of the Sky, it can even start a large-scale religious war.

Originally, everyone thought that with such a strong lineup, that monster would inevitably be killed quickly, but the result was completely beyond everyone's expectations, this elite team of Sky Lord Church has been in the mountains for dozens of days, but they have never completed the task, and even lost three Templar guards.

Although no one in the church said how they lost the three Templar guards, it is not difficult to guess from what their words and deeds revealed that they should have encountered their own target, and not only did they not succeed in hunting the target, but several Templar guards died at the hands of the target.

Although the soldiers at the outpost were not allowed to drink alcohol, there was a tavern for hunters and mercenaries inside the outpost, and at night, the hunters and mercenaries who returned to the camp would gather in the tavern to exchange information obtained during the day, or to replenish the lost manpower to form a new team, and some people would teach the daytime harvest with the merchants who had been staying in the place for a long time, etc.

The vast majority of the hunters and mercenaries here are ordinary people who have received combat training, and if people like them encountered monsters in the past, there was only one way to die, but with the weapons and equipment developed by the Dodd Group against various monsters, these ordinary people also have the strength to fight after encountering monsters.

Normally, these hunters and mercenaries don't dare to be rude to the people of the church, but as the hunting team sent by the church suffers a big loss, they are very embarrassed every time they return to the camp, so that these hunters and mercenaries who have long put life and death aside gradually lose their awe of the church, and under the influence of alcohol, they even dare to blatantly mock some unbearable things of the church.

After the Fire Dancer caravan set up camp, Leo came to this tavern at the outpost with some of the caravan's merchants, the caravan merchants did not come here to drink, they mainly wanted to see if there was a chance to buy a batch of hunt from the hunters and mercenaries here, and Leo wanted to gather useful information from the conversations between these hunters and mercenaries.

Not long after entering the tavern, the merchants of the caravan had already completed several transactions, which could be said to be very fruitful, and Leo had also collected a lot of information, such as the composition and classification of monsters, such as the reason why a team of elites of the Church of the Lord of the Sky were stationed here, and so on.

Although these materials can be said to be public underlying information, for Leo, the information he needs to collect most now is these underlying information, and what he lacks the most is also these underlying information, because with the change of the world, the way of life of human society has completely changed, and then analyze things according to the previous information, I am afraid that there will be a very big fallacy, so he needs to re-establish the data database from the bottom.

In order to be able to gather all the information, Leo will naturally say some guiding words at some point, so that the drunken hunters and mercenaries can say more useful things, such as the monster that can perform the magic of the Lord of the Sky.

Leo could understand why the bounty on a monster had changed from a kill to a catch, as he was equally curious about why the monster was able to perform magical spells.

However, as spectators with special emotions, the clergy of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, who also came to the tavern to relax, had other thoughts after hearing Leo's conversation with the hunters and mercenaries, and they felt that Leo's guiding words were deliberately aimed at them, wanting to humiliate them and mock their incompetence through the drunken words of the hunters and mercenaries.

Originally, the lack of success and loss of manpower in this operation had already made these clergy extremely depressed in their hearts, coupled with the contempt and contempt that the hunters and mercenaries had revealed intentionally or unintentionally during this time, which made their mood even worse.

However, Leo's deliberate guided questioning now seemed to poke at their most painful point, causing the two worst-tempered holy warriors among the clergy to stand up and walk towards Leo in unison, and the other clergy did not mean to stop them, as if they wanted to use Leo as a model for teaching other disrespectful people.
