Chapter 111: Rules
"And one last thing, after I learned about this, I stayed in the library of the Scholars Association and rummaged through the history scrolls all night, and found some information that could be this monster, but I can't be sure, I need to verify it, if it's the same as the information, then the way to deal with this monster should also be able to be found.

Camp seemed proud of his discovery, and for such an old pedant, there was nothing more gratifying than showing off his knowledge.
"How do we need to verify it? We can't wait until we find that monster before we take our time. ā
Locke asked from the side.
"No, the kind of monster I found has the ability to control and transform other creatures in the description, I only need to find a few corpses of other monsters in the town, and I can rely on the records in the book to distinguish them, so you'd better not rush to the mine first, if you can find a few live little monsters, I can study them...... Then take a few specimens back. ā
"That's it, let's rest first and set off tomorrow morning!"
Everyone took turns to keep vigil and then went to sleep, Watson's turn was relatively early and did not get up in the middle of the night, so he slept quite comfortably, although it could not be compared with the bed at home, but people naturally had to be able to endure this environment outside, not to mention that it was not bad to be able to sleep on the grass, and the blankets were prepared on horseback, and a bed was laid on the ground.
In the early hours of the morning, Watson opened his eyes and slowly got up, looked at the spar watch and found that it was still early, only five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was only slightly bright, and he could barely see.
However, Gibson next to him was already sitting by the campfire, as if he hadn't slept much at all last night, and his spirit was still good, and a professional who had reached this strength would not have much impact if he didn't sleep for a night or two.
The next order of waking up is to start with the Demon Hunter, and only after Benjamin and Locke have all woken up will anyone among the Demon Hunters sit up, and Viola next to Watson is still lying on the blanket with saliva.
Watson didn't go out of his way to wake her up, and there was still a little more time to go, so he had to eat breakfast first, so it was okay for Violado to sleep for a while, and Watson had a better way to wake her up to make sure she woke up on her own.
Walked to the turnip, first took out a few carrots from the bag and fed it, then took out a few pieces of bread and a can with peanut butter, spread the peanut butter on the bread, and baked it on the bonfire that was about to go out.
"Rinse your mouth with juice first, otherwise it won't taste good. ā
He picked up Viola's flask from next to her blanket and put it in front of her, then handed over the bread, drank the cold juice to sober Viola a lot, rubbed a few handfuls of his hands on his eyes, took the bread and began to nibble.
Gibson found that everyone was almost awake, only a few people were still sleeping, and he did not wait for them to wake up, but went to wake them up one by one and let them get up for breakfast, and by the time it was almost half past six, everyone had already settled breakfast, and the mercenary team had already left.
Buried the campfire with dirt, the team assembled and prepared to hit the road, and Camp was placed in the middle of the group, because the fog was thick, no one knew if there were monsters hiding not far away, so everyone chose to dismount and walk at the beginning of the outskirts of Shire Town.
Along the paved gravel road in Shiretown, Watson took the turnip and asked Viola to put the horse on the outside like himself, if a monster attacked them, they would be the first line of defense, which may sound a little unkind, but Watson still felt that the horse injury was more acceptable than his own injury.
Because of the fog, everyone moved a little slowly, and after walking for about half an hour, some buildings began to emerge from the fog, and the sides of the road were no longer empty, and there were several horse-drawn carriages carrying goods parked on the side of the road, and some packages could be seen on them, but the drivers and horses were gone.
Asking Viola to help him lead the turnips, Watson walked quickly to a carriage closer to him, and reached out to touch the shelf There should be a 10-centimeter-long scratch on the shelf, like a mark carved by some kind of sharp blade, and there are some dark red marks on the grass next to it, you don't have to think about it to know what it is.
After looking at several carriages one after another, I found that the situation was about the same, almost all of them had more or less scratches on them, and there would be some blood stains around them.
Unfolded the dark energy sensing to detect the reaction of the dark energy, but the information that appeared in his mind first made Watson frown, and instead of shouting, he walked directly to Bellamy, who was closer to him.
"Bellamy, you're a gunsmith, you should be pretty good in terms of sensing......, right?
"I've sensed it for a long time, and I've had a vague sense of something watching us from the time I entered the outskirts of Shire, but the fog is too heavy to orient us, and I've mentioned it to Gibson, and he says he's been able to find out, but like me, he can't find a target. ā
Before Watson could finish speaking, Bellamy whispered what he wanted to ask, and from the moment he entered the fog, the demon hunters who were present with strong sensing abilities had all felt this way, and could detect something peeping but could not find any targets.
After confirming that everyone knew what was in their hearts, Watson also retreated to Viola's side, her mental power sense has also made great progress now, and she actually has her own reaction to external peeping, and she is frowning and thinking, Watson told him his thoughts as soon as he returned.
"Everyone feels it, don't worry, the strength of our side is not afraid of them, we now hope to have a small-scale combat contact, so that we can have a preliminary understanding of the monsters lurking here, ignorance is the most terrible, and when we understand those monsters, then they will not be so vicious." ā
Taking the reins of the turnip, Watson continued to maintain the range of dark energy, making it easy to spot monsters that could rush out from any direction.
However, until the front of the town of Shire, the surrounding area of the team was quite quiet, and although the feeling of peeping still did not dissipate, there were no monsters appearing in the sense of everyone.
When the team walked into the town of Shire, there were not even a single corpse scattered all over the field, there were only a lot of scattered packages and some miscellaneous items on the road, and it could be seen that there had been chaos here before, and those townspeople should have been attacked here, but only a large amount of blood was left.
"Everyone be careful, it is very likely that you will be attacked by monsters at any time in the future, according to the rules, I must emphasize one point here, when you encounter a life-and-death crisis, you are allowed to escape, and even allow you to abandon your companions and escape, after all, everyone is not familiar with each other, and there is nothing to risk your life to save!
But if I let me know that someone had done something to hurt his companion and make him delay the monster in order to create time for himself to escape...... Even if he can escape the monsters, I will report it to the guild and then hunt him down!"
When he said this, an extremely strong momentum suddenly appeared on Gibson's body, and a roaring ice-blue giant bear condensed by energy flashed around him, this is the guardian spirit that has reached the level of a demon hunter, mysterious and powerful!
This is a unique hard rule in the Demon Hunter Guild, every time before the start of a large team mission, the demon hunter who leads the team must emphasize this point, because the Demon Hunter Guild has always been known for its unity, so it hates this kind of thing of hurting his companions to buy time for himself, and the high-level demon hunter who leads the team is not just talking, he will really take on this responsibility, and carry out an endless pursuit of the demon hunter who hurts his teammates to escape.
And when a demon hunter has done this kind of thing and it is reported to the guild and it is confirmed, the guild will directly and unilaterally disqualify the reported person as a demon hunter, put him on the wanted list, and send it to all the top professional guilds in the form of a commission, including the mercenary guild, the assassin guild and the mage guild, so that they can refuse the person's possible request to change to the guild and help chase them.
This is a unified cooperation of all the top guilds after communication, that is, once a guild has a traitor or is forcibly revoked by the guild for some reason, other top guilds that have made an agreement will boycott it and inform each other after discovering its whereabouts.
Therefore, this kind of punishment can be said to be extremely severe, which is why few people will violate the principles established by this kind of top guild, because once you offend a top guild, it is likely to cause a large-scale chain reaction, and then you will find that no matter where you go, you will be hunted down by various professions.
However, there are always some people who like to risk their lives, and almost all of the wanted lists of major guilds have people from their own guilds, and these people often fight against the pursuit of these top guilds by joining some dark sects, and at the same time constantly retaliate against their own guilds, high-level demon hunters have basically experienced this kind of hunting mission, and the target is not a monster but their former colleagues.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
"No! for the glory of the Demon Hunter!"
"Very good, this is the rules of the guild, I can't break it, if you don't do that kind of thing, there will be no problem, now let's move on. ā
After going through this process, Gibson withdrew the giant bear shaking his head beside him, the expression on his face softened, and he smiled at the people who were amazed by his guardian spirit and said, as for the camp in the middle, he was already full of excitement and came up, probably wanting to study how this guardian spirit came out.
But he was immediately pulled back by the two demon hunters, just kidding, it's so dangerous now, if this old man runs around and is killed by monsters, an important source of information will be lost!
