The remnant sun is like blood, and the twilight is low.

Leon and his party made their way down the Rhine, and by the time they reached the gentler section, it was already dusk.

Although the Rhine is said to be relatively gentle, the upper part of the river is still very turbulent due to the narrow valley and rugged terrain.

In a mountainous region like Switzerland, if it weren't for the fact that all three of them were strong witchers, they could climb mountains and flow water, and their advance speed would have been compressed to an extremely slow pace.

Leon came to the water's edge and asked, "Have you found your people?"

Poof-

A small head popped out of the water, it was Fina, the mermaid who had followed them all the way, she shook her head a little anxiously, and said, "No, but I can smell her." ”

Li Ang frowned and said, "Since there are already clues, why are you still in such a hurry?"

Fina said with a crying voice, "The smell of her body is mixed with blood, and I am afraid that she has been killed." ”

Li Ang's expression was slightly stunned, and then he said: "Don't worry, the result may not be as bad as you think." ”

He looked at William and Inrily again, "Do you have night vision?"

Inili said angrily: "The two of us are also witchers carefully cultivated by the Beast School, how can we not even have night vision." ”

As a witcher who often deals with demons and evil creatures that like to go out at night, night vision is almost a must-have skill.

Even a wild hunter who has a little extra money in his wallet will choose to buy a "night vision potion".

"Alright, let's move on. ”

Leon said with a solemn expression, "I have a hunch that the disappearance of the Fina people is likely to be related to our first mission target. ”

By this time, they were approaching the "demon-worshipping village" marked on the road map.

However, the accuracy of the maps of this era is questionable, and a small marked point may represent a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is not easy to accurately locate this village.

It is not uncommon to worship demons, and almost every big city has lurking demon believers, and it is common for some remote mountainous areas to worship demons as righteous gods.

They often retain the custom of blood sacrifices and human sacrifices, and because of their remote location, it is difficult for the church's judges and knights to find them, so these demon believers often go unpunished for a long time, and if they don't make too much noise, they will not be detected by the outside world at all.

In fact, although the church itself is not clean, and the judges and knights are covered with sin on their hands, it is still very hard to clean up these demons who have come to the world to grab food in the same basin as them.

The three of them, led by Fina, moved forward quickly.

After about an hour, Li Ang twitched his nose: "I smelled a faint demonic aura, that strong smell of sulfur, it should be a fire demon." ”

Although he is a "wild" hunter, when the three of them act together, he naturally takes the lead, which is due to his ability to be comprehensive enough to lead to the result.

Inri asked, "How far is it from us?"

"About a kilometer long. ”

William, who was working with Leon for the first time, was amazed: "How do I feel like you are omnipotent, can you detect the demon from a distance of a kilometer?"

Li Ang said casually: "This is a side effect of the transformation of werewolves, and the sense of smell of wolf demons is much more sensitive than that of humans. ”

The Fire Demon is an elemental demon that generally lives in the abyss, due to the lava in the abyss, including the "Hellfire", many fire elemental demons have an extremely privileged living environment, and they are also collectively known as the Fire Demon.

Frost Demons, on the other hand, are rare, and only exist in certain abysses that are extremely cold.

After more than ten minutes, they could already see green flames burning in the air like ghost fires.

Under the light of the fire, a ghost village like a hell on earth was revealed to the eyes of the three of them.

At this time, the smell of sulfur in the air was so thick that even ordinary people could smell it.

Leon asked, "The end of the smell is here?"

"Yes. ”

"Sure enough, it has something to do with demon believers. ”

"Fina, you have limited mobility on the shore, so stay here. ”

Fina nodded with red eyes, "Okay." ”

But she was already well aware that the outcome of her people was basically doomed.

Sirens, or merfolk people, are also known as the darlings of the sea, and they have certain spell-casting abilities, and can even drive all kinds of huge sea beasts.

As long as they are in the sea, they are almost invincible except for their close relatives who are countless times more numerous.

As a result, the Sirens contain the essence of water, which is extremely precious in their bodies, and has an extraordinary effect on any kind of creature.

And to take out this essence, there is no more gentle means than disembowelment.

"William, Iniri, you two are ready to pick me up, I'll go first to explore the way, and if the Fina is still alive, I'll get her out first. ”

William hurriedly said: "It's better for me to go, I have rough skin and thick meat, if I fall into a siege, I can still hold on to waiting for you to come to the rescue." ”

Li Ang decisively refused: "No, your skills are not as agile as mine, once you startle the snake, it is very likely to bring variables." ”

The demons who can enjoy the sacrifice are at least high-order demons, and although the demon believers are not difficult to deal with, once they are given time, it is very likely that a clone of the belief demon will be summoned to the world.

This kind of high-sequence demon, even if it is only a clone with weak strength, is more dangerous than the ordinary medium-sequence demon.

Inelle naturally knew this, and persuaded: "William, just listen to Leon, he has never let us down all the way." ”

"Okay. ”

Leon nodded to them, then turned into a ghost and quietly infiltrated the "ghost village".

As soon as he got closer, Leon saw the shriveled corpses, either hanging or nailed to trees, without even the slightest moisture, and their skin even glowed with a burnt yellow.

Like air-dried beef that has been grilled at high temperatures?

This association succeeded in making Leon's impression of air-dried beef fall to the bottom.

Leon shifted his gaze to the middle of the village, where he could clearly see the mermaid's body that had been cut off by the waist.

There was still a faint fear of death on her shriveled face.

"Sure enough, it was too late. ”

Li Ang frowned, and didn't pay attention to these anymore, dealing with demons, this kind of human tragedy is destined to see many more in the future.

He approached the outside of a hut and peered through the window.

Although people in this era generally went to bed early, the whole village was still too quiet.

At this glance, he suddenly met a miserable white eye.

It was a villager, as white as a paper figure, who seemed to be waiting by the window to look at it, and was staring at Leon.

"What are you looking at?"

A gloomy question rang out.

Without the slightest hesitation, Leon raised his sword of victory and decisively stabbed through the window, severing his neck, and dark black blood suddenly gushed out of the broken section.

It twitched twice, then stopped moving.

Bang –

As if pushing the dominoes, one door after another was opened, and the white-covered villagers rushed out of it like walking corpses.

When the moonlight shone, their bodies were impressively transparent, revealing a white skeleton burning with emerald ghost fire.

At this moment, the villager whose neck had been severed by him got up again, raised his head with both hands, put it back on his neck, and grinned.

"We have received the grace of God to live forever. ”

These monsters have probably actually turned into undead, and even the two toxins "corrosion" and "erosion" attached to the Sword of Victory have no effect.

"Immortal?"

A hint of mockery flashed between Li Ang's eyebrows, and the black flames quickly wrapped around the Sword of Victory like life, and then cut off his head again.

The black flames directly engulfed it, and even the skeleton was burned to the ground before gradually dissipating, and the strange thing was that the black flames did not even ignite the thatch on the ground.

This is the Flame of Vengeance!

Leon chuckled, "That's it?"
