The number of miners in the ore town built to facilitate the ore mining in this area of the Golden Plains is about 300 people, and then it is divided into two shifts through the shift system, and the number of people in one shift is about 150 people, according to the news obtained before, the alienated monsters are those miners who have returned, so the number of these monsters should also be around 150.

How many demon hunters were present? Judging from the data on the form in the hands of the clerk who I met along the way and accidentally looked at when I registered before, it should not exceed 50 people, and Watson also asked the priest just now, and their Holy See has sent two elite clergy teams, with a total of about 20 people.

"How's it going, will they ever wake up again?"

In order to prevent more civilians from being victimized, Watson's side must speed things up...... It's just that these people can't be ignored, so they can only wait for the priest to finish purifying them, and seeing that they have completely returned to their original state, but their faces are still a little pale, Watson asked.

"Don't worry, no problem, although these dark breaths may cause them some physical discomfort in a short period of time, they will get better soon, and it should not affect the rest of their lives. ”

Stopping the output of holy light energy, the priest raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and turned his head and said, these people can't just be thrown here, Watson and Benjamin carried them, opened the door of a flat-bottomed house next to them, and put these unconscious people on the ground inside.

At this time, Watson, who could see the soul light spots, suddenly noticed that black and red soul light points began to appear on these people's bodies, but when they were investigated, their own souls were intact, and the priest also said that these people were fine, so how did these soul light spots appear......

I wanted not to waste these soul energy, and opened the system to collect it, but at this time, there was obvious resistance from the system, and the system refused to collect this soul energy! This made Watson have to be curious, trying to feel these points of light with his mental power, and he unexpectedly felt a kind of fear and sadness.

This emotion did not arise on his own, but inexplicably appeared in his mind after coming into contact with these soul light spots......

"Painful Souls...... This isn't the soul energy that can appear on ordinary monsters, isn't it ......?"

Staring at these points of soul light that gradually drifted to the east, Watson's face was a little gloomy.

"What's wrong? Watson, your expression looks a little solemn, do you notice something is wrong?"

"Yes, because of some special experiences, I can detect soul energy, and these miners actually have painful souls on their bodies after the curse was expelled! I think these must have been collected from the miners who were killed by monsters...... It's a demon's favorite!"

Painful souls, this is a special kind of soul energy, they are born in the souls of humans who are soaked in the pain of fear and sorrow, and the demons are very fond of collecting this kind of soul, because these energies are the food they grow stronger and the currency that circulates in the abyssal trade.

This is also the reason why Watson's face was wrong after he realized that these soul light spots were painful souls, in fact, since he arrived in Ore Town, he was thinking about why these miners became like this, and now when he sees these painful souls, he doesn't have to think about it to know that this time is definitely not an accident, but a demon is manipulating behind him!

"I've certainly seen this in the Mentor's collection, where some Abyssal Demons like to use humans to kill each other to create such painful souls in large numbers, and they attack humans by cursing some humans and turning them into monsters, and actively absorbing the painful souls of the humans they kill. When the number of souls accumulates to a certain number, they will be transported back into the demon's soul through some channel......"

Marina frowned and recalled some of the scattered information she had seen from her mentor before, the information about demons was something that every high-level demon hunter would often read, in addition to some notes from the experience of demon hunters themselves, which would be provided to her students, and it could be regarded as one of the inheritances of demon hunters.

"I think we can go east, and I noticed that these soul points of light all started to move in that direction after they appeared, and there must be something over there, most likely the demon body or the clone that receives the painful soul. ”

Carefully observing the movements of these soul light points, Watson found some patterns from them, except for a small number of soul energy that dissipated in the air after appearing, most of the black and red soul light points will move towards the east, and after thinking about it, he feels that there is very likely to be a breakthrough point in this incident over there.

"We follow you, you follow these soul points of light, you must find out the hidden demon, dare to destroy the human town so blatantly, we must destroy it!"

The mission of the Demon Hunter is to protect humans from demons and monsters, and this incident has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the Demon Hunter Guild, and the large-scale civilian death will cause a great blow to the credibility of the Demon Hunter Guild in this area, so in this case, an explanation must be given.

The operation continued, with the experience of direct contact with the monsters just now, the next was much smoother, this time several people no longer searched for monsters everywhere, but focused on following the light points of the painful soul, and the occasional strange monster was solved by Watson, Viola and Marina, Benjamin and Locke were a little poor in stun means, so they simply stopped attacking and stayed by Marina and the priest's side.

After chasing for about ten minutes, the soul light flew into a warehouse in Ore Town where mining tools were stored and disappeared under the gaze of everyone.

"Everyone, be careful, there is a strong negative energy reaction in this warehouse...... I think the existence we're looking for is inside!"

Using his perceptual ability to detect the huge amount of negative energy inside, Marina couldn't help but remind, Watson also tried to open his mental power perception again, and almost instantly he felt the negative energy that was almost overflowing in the warehouse in front of him.

"Holy Light Blessing!Healing Quick!Weapon Enhancement!Defense Enhancement!"

Although the priest profession has little combat effectiveness as a support class alone, once it enters a group battle, the role it can play is indeed beyond imagination, and as an elite priest, the priest has finally shown the strength that suits his identity.

Rapid healing allows for rapid recovery of physical strength, weapon enhancement provides light elemental energy damage bonus for a short period of time for everyone's weapons, and defense enhancement puts a layer of holy light shield on melee personnel except dumplings.

The three auxiliary spells have given several melee personnel a lot of confidence, no wonder all the melee professional teams on the road want a priest to follow, which is equivalent to a mobile healing potion, stamina recovery potion, weapon enhancement holy water, and a shield generator that does not need to add hedrons!

It's just that the number of priests is too small, because the extreme nature of this profession is destined to have extremely poor survivability for a single person, and the danger is extremely high, and the priest is often the primary target of attack in battle, and the priest cannot survive without a good team as a foundation.

Therefore, up to now, only the Holy See has the confidence to cultivate these elite priests on a large scale, and create a team of clergy that cannot be dragged down or defeated.

After all the buffs were blessed, Benjamin and Locke began to approach the storeroom first, Watson followed behind them as a strategy, and the others stood in the distance to support, because the wide wooden door was closed, the situation inside was unclear, and if you wanted to investigate, you had to open the wooden door.

Benjamin, who was walking in the forefront, was the first to approach the wooden door, turned his head to look at Locke and Watson, who were already in place behind him, and made eye contact with each other to prepare, Benjamin clenched the giant sword with both hands, and raised his foot to kick the wooden door, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of stepping on the ground from inside the door!

"Be careful, get back!"

Thinking of a possibility, Watson shouted to be careful, and his hands were not slow, pulling Benjamin and Locke, who were listening to the footsteps, to the wooden door.

The next moment, the nearly three-meter-high wooden door collapsed in the position where the three of them were standing just now, and the huge figure stepped on the door panel, revealing it in front of everyone's eyes.

"Huh......h Demon Hunter! Priest, I didn't expect to find me so soon, so let me see how strong you are!"

The nearly three-meter-tall behemoth body, dark blue skin, complex black patterns all over the body, and the iconic curled goat horns, a monster that looks very much like a standing goat looked at the people around him defiantly, and laughed playfully.

"Goat Demon, hum...... I didn't expect to meet it so early, and it's really the stupidest of the demons!"

Take out a black signal flare from your waist and shoot it into the sky, the signal flare atmosphere of the Demon Hunting Guild has three colors, one is a yellow call for help, one is a red warning color, and the last one is a siege black that indicates the discovery of the target demon!

In the face of this kind of demon, Watson would not say anything fair to it, and immediately planned to gather all the nearby demon hunters and priests to besiege it.

And all they have to do now before help arrives is to hold back this demon and prevent it from escaping!

In the distance, Marina made the first move, and the huge blue-green magic circle was instantly outlined at the demon's feet and in front of him, several long whips composed of ice elements and poison elements gave birth to the magic circle on the ground, winding the goat demon, and a spear that also mixed the two elements appeared in front of the demon at the same time and stabbed it in the head! )
