Watson hid behind the rocks and watched the situation on the battlefield, his eyes quickly focused on the other captain of the stronghold, Adra, who was now finally understanding the fruits of the evil sacrifice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Basically a human form that was almost twisted, hair in a messy shawl, a swollen body more than a burly body, the claws of a beast, and a mouth full of fangs, this Hidden Serpent Cultist was closer to some kind of monster than human.

"Is it necessary to sacrifice oneself as a characteristic of human existence? Strength is important, but the price is ......"

After staring for a moment, Watson lowered his voice and asked Marina next to him.

"No, not all sacrifices have this consequence, I have read about sacrifice in many books, generally speaking, sacrificing a specific thing will get a specific ability, and the goal of the sacrifice also determines the type of ability that can be obtained, just like if you sacrifice flesh or soul to a demon, then there is basically a high possibility of getting physical transformation...... As for the part of the transformation, it depends on the choice of the sacrifice target, that is to say, the sacrificer can only choose the sacrificial items, and the others can only be left to fate!"

The two were communicating, and the battle outside had come to an end, relying on the power gained from the sacrifice, Adela's combat power combined with the remaining 8 Hidden Serpent Cultists finally dealt with the mountain troll, Adela pulled the narrow claws from the mountain troll's head, stepped on its corpse and roared.

"What do you think of his fighting power? I mean the captain of the Hidden Serpent Cult, who should be called Adela, and I felt a thick aura of darkness from him. ”

"Very strong, if he fights us one-on-one according to his current state, none of us can suppress him, what he should get from the sacrifice is not only this disgusting body but also a strong recovery ability, you see, the battle is still going on, but he can still burst out with this attack ability that pierces through the troll's head, maybe he has a flaw elsewhere, but this alone is not something we can compare, after all, we can't do it to this extent. ”

"You're right, it seems that we need to avoid this Captain Adela, this is not far from the stronghold of the Hidden Serpent Church, but there is a captain in it, we need to avoid needless battles. ”

Shout...... Bang!

At this moment, a red signal suddenly exploded in the sky in the direction of the Hidden Snake stronghold, and the Hidden Snake Cultists and the two people in the battlefield noticed it at the same time, and then Watson found that the Hidden Snake Cultists who saw the signal flare immediately began to divert.

Adra, who was still roaring to show off his strength, immediately jumped off the corpse of the mountain troll after shouting a few times and rushed back, and the remaining Hidden Serpent cultists also began to gather and diverge, 6 people followed Adela back, and two people stayed next to the corpse and began to clean up the battlefield.

"Wait a minute, you don't have to do it, I'll just come, the means to deal with the mountain monsters have not been used, just take these two Hidden Snake Cultists to practice, you can help me pick up the heart when the time comes." ”

"I can't ask for it. ”

Since Marlena was going to do it herself, Watson also put back the long knife he had drawn out, and silently watched her movements, taking this opportunity to learn more about these mages.

Obscure spells flowed from Marina's open and closed mouth, and two magic circles, one blue and one green, formed in front of her, and then slowly overlapped and then merged into the ground, and the two Hidden Snake Cultists not far away just opened the chest of the mountain troll with their knives, reached in and pulled out a heart several times larger than that of a human.

"This is a composite spell, a combination of ice and poison, as long as I am given enough time, even a mountain troll can't stand the erosion of this compound spell!"

With Marina's explanation, a blue-green vine-like thing composed of spell energy suddenly rushed out of the dirt under the feet of the two Hidden Serpent Cultists, wrapping around their bodies in a matter of seconds, and from Watson's point of view, he could only see that the movements of the two of them who were originally struggling violently quickly became weak and slow, and their entire bodies began to be covered by blue-green ice cubes and became two humanoid ice sculptures in a short time!

"Shhh...... Your spell isn't just about freezing!"

"Yes, cold can slow down people's reactions, and toxins can erode people's nerves, the combined effect of the two spells is very simple, that is, the target loses all reflexes for a short period of time, as long as the spell is not expelled, then the target can only watch themselves be frozen in ice. ”

Explaining the effects of her spells, Marina only had a serious expression on her face, perhaps in normal times she looked confused and needed to disguise herself to communicate with others, but when it came to her own attainments in spells, this rigorous attitude was extremely real.

"I didn't expect you to be such a mage...... I've always thought that mages are the kind of mobile turret-like beings who just stand in place and use massively lethal spells and then kill all of them, regardless of friend or foe, of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but I believe that this is the image of mages in many people's minds. ”

"This kind of mage is not unavailable, you go down first and get my heart back, and then I will tell you. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Watson ran over it with one hand over the pile of rocks, ran all the way to his destination, stood still and looked at the two blue-green ice sculptures, then smashed the one holding the heart of the Hidden Serpent with a single punch, picked up the heart of the mountain troll, walked over to its corpse, bent down and cut off its ears, and turned on soul absorption.

Because a lot of time has passed, there is not much soul energy left in the troll, Watson has long been mentally prepared for this, this time the harvest is enough, how much can the soul energy of the troll absorb in his opinion, fortunately, his luck this time is really good, the soul of a large monster like a troll is still large enough, even after a period of time, it still gave him a lot of surprises.

Soul Mending...... Current progress 2.5%, current lifespan: 7 years, 11 months, 19 days and 6 hours. Inability to obtain, physique strengthened...... Complete!

Compared with the soul energy provided by the previous ghost, which itself exists in the form of a soul, the soul energy of the troll is still a lot less, and the increased lifespan is only a few months, and there is no ability to gain, but the physique is strengthened, but Watson is also content.

As mentioned before, his soul is constantly being repaired, and it is constantly strengthening, which means that the demand for repaired soul energy will only increase, for example, the soul energy that he was able to increase his lifespan by one year a month ago is now only a few months at most.

"Physique Enhancement...... It turns out that it can be done to this extent!"

Watson, who was running back with his heart, suddenly stopped halfway, and the physique enhancement information from the system just now seemed to him to be just the previous effect of improving physique, but he didn't expect that his heart began to beat violently before he ran a few steps, and a fiery energy flowed out of it, and the muscles all over his body seemed to be activated at this moment, constantly devouring the energy that flowed through his whole body.

Bang! Bang!

The strong beating sound of his heart sounded in Watson's ears and in his body, and the sense of power that surged into his heart like a tide made his whole body become excited, and he slowly clenched his fists and felt the surging power surging up and down his body, so that he now had a sense of urgency that he wanted to rush into the Hidden Snake stronghold to fight a fight!

Closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, suppressed these feelings back, his calm mind reoccupied his mind, and smiled a little helplessly, Watson understood that the feeling just now was just an illusion given to him by his suddenly stronger body, his current physique is indeed a lot stronger than before, but it is not to the point of exaggeration, if he really returns to the Hidden Snake stronghold according to his feelings, then it is estimated that it is the result of being educated by the other party.

When he returned to Marina's side, the soreness in Watson's legs before because of the use of muscle explosions had completely disappeared, and the enhanced physique allowed him to use muscle explosions for more time in the future, and he didn't have to worry about the sequelae of the cheating father.

"It seems that something has changed in you just now...... When I didn't ask, the secret is something that every demon hunter should have, and if you want to be a good companion, you shouldn't ask it, and that's what my mentor told me. ”

"Hehe, it's good that you know, because even if you ask, I won't tell you. ”

"Stingy...... Tell me that I won't die, in exchange I can tell you the color of my underwear today. ”

"To be honest, I'm not interested in the color of your underwear, and your mentor still teaches you this way of exchanging information?"

"No, this is what I read in some miscellaneous books, which says that as long as women are willing to speak, then no man can refuse their request, of course, provided that she is beautiful enough. ”

Watson tugged at the corners of his mouth, put his heart into a pre-prepared cloth bag that Marlena pulled out, and put back the troll's ears as mission credentials.

**

The evening sun shone on the walls and streets of the buildings on the outskirts of the eastern part of Wildas, giving an inexplicable sense of stability, and after completing their mission, Watson and Marina finally walked out of Myral Wasteland before nightfall, and on the way back, they also saw several truckloads of goods being returned, presumably the lost wagons of Miller's Tavern.

Arriving at the Demon Hunter Guild by taxi, although the flow of people is much less than that of the Mercenary Guild not far away, compared to the desertion in the early morning, the Demon Hunter Guild at dusk still seems more lively, at least along the way, there are already many demon hunters wearing brown trench coats like Watson and Marlena to cast kind glances at them.

Compared with other guilds, the members of the Demon Hunter Guild, which have stricter employment requirements, are relatively small but very united, so most of the time, Demon Hunters will maintain a kind attitude when they meet demon hunters in the same guild, after all, the danger level of this profession is very high, maybe you will encounter some tricky monsters in a certain mission, and then these colleagues who are usually good friends will be a crucial existence.
