At noon, the sun is shining.

Temeria is in the north of the continent, the air is relatively dry, it is dry and hot, and there will not be the situation that it is useless to hide anywhere in the heat like the Nilfgaard Empire in the south.

At noon, when it's the hottest, as long as you don't stand in the sun, even if you hide in the shade of a tree, you will feel much better.

Outside the grove, several people were hurrying away under the scorching sun.

", it's hot and deadly?"

It was a short man in thick cotton armor who was carrying a short wooden stick wrapped in iron and kept wiping the sweat from his face with his hands.

"This freak really chooses a day, early or late, but the hottest day comes..."

The other tall and thin man also scolded and kept fanning the corners of his clothes, he was the least dressed compared to his companions, only a single coat, but it was still too hot.

"Shut up and go into the woods ahead"

With a bearded face and a sturdy physique, Soter changed into brown leather armor, wore a Temerian standard helmet, and carried a long sword and round shield in his hand.

He walked briskly to the front, and as he went, he admonished:

"Wait until we all act according to the plan, no one will move until Marin's arrow is fired, as long as the witcher is hit by a poisoned arrow, we can easily take him down..."

"But head, I've heard that these freaks aren't afraid of poison, are you sure that poisoned arrows coated with snake venom are useful?"

Armed with a short bow, his hair disheveled, his skin armor in tatters, and a short sword and quiver around his waist, Marin asked uncertainly.

His arms are longer than normal, and as the only ranged person in the team, he was a hunter who hunted for a living before the war.

"As long as you shoot the vital point, what if he is not afraid of poison?"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Sauter's eyes, and he continued with a fierce face:

"This witcher is so young, his strength is not too good, how much strength can he have after fighting with so many monsters?

Besides, if we take him by surprise, as long as he is injured, can he still open a portal and run away like a mage? ”

"Haha, the boss has a point, so don't worry about it.

When this is done, I will leave Temeria with the money and go to the free city of Novigre..."

As they spoke, they gradually approached the woods, and at the signal of the leader Soden's eyes, they all stopped talking and drew their weapons together.

They soon came to the other side of the woods, gathered quietly, and hid in the grass by the side of the road, before they came out to look at the pier.

"Strange, why is the witcher gone?"

Soden searched around the dock and found no figure, and couldn't help but wonder, "Did any of you see where the others were?" ”

"I guess I'm hiding in a wooden house..."

Marin carefully searched the dock for a while and found nothing, thought about it, and gave a reasonable answer.

As he spoke, he faintly heard a strange noise overhead.

Looking up in confusion, he saw a round brown jar falling from the sky.

What is it?

Watching closely, a bright light came into view, which was the lead on the top of the jar that was rapidly shortening.

Not good!

The alarm bell rang in his heart, and although he didn't know what it was, his intuition told him that something was wrong.

With no time to care about others, Marin rushed out like a frightened rabbit.

The others turned their heads in surprise when they heard the sound, and before they could see what was going on, the alchemy bomb exploded in the air less than 1 meter above their heads.

Rumble~

Accompanied by a terrifying explosion, the air wave visible to the naked eye instantly swept all places within a radius of 3 meters.

The strong wind pressure caused the surrounding bushes and thatch to swing violently, and in a hula sound, they fell outward at the same time, instantly forming a circular "explosion site".

Yellow dust quickly swept through the entire explosion area with a wave of air, and the thick yellow powder mist immediately completely enveloped several people at the scene.

The few people who didn't have time to react at all had just recovered from the loud noise, and they were immediately blinded by the dust again, and the tingling pain made them can't help but close their eyes.

However, closing the eyes did not solve the problem at all, and the stinging sensation like a chili pepper in the eyes stimulated the tears that frantically welled up in the eyes.

When I opened my eyes despite the pain, I couldn't see anything at all.

"My eyes~"

"Oh my God, I can't see anything~"

In the midst of a wail, Marin, who had moved in advance, looked back in horror while running wildly.

He didn't care about any of his companions at the moment, and there was only one thought in his head, escape, and the farther away he could, the better!

A violent palpitation brought the experienced hunter to a halt, and with fear, he raised his longbow and placed an arrow on it.

His long hunting career has taught him that when he is targeted by a beast, running away can only accelerate the speed of death, especially when the other party has already arrived.

The faint inaudible voice behind him made his face change drastically, and before he could move, a bright light flashed in the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, his vision began to roll, and before the world fell into darkness, he saw the headless body standing on the ground with a bow and arrow, and the young witcher behind him who didn't know when.

After cleaning up the alert hunters, Huck leaned down and quickly pounced on a man who was screaming out of the powder mist.

It was the stocky man in cotton armor, who was clearly aware of the danger, and staggered out as he staggered out, waving the iron-clad stick in his hand.

"Fuck off, freak, I know it's you, you deviant, weird..."

Angry curses erupted, and the steel sword avoided the wooden stick he swung and stabbed straight through the neck.

Drawing his sword indifferently, Huck ignored the short man who was covering his wounds, gasping for breath with a 'ho-ho' sound and blood spitting from his mouth, and continued to pounce on the next enemy.

Witchers don't attack people easily, and once they do, they won't let anyone go.

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no future troubles, is the rule that Huck has set for himself.

He didn't want to be hunted down or prosecuted and sent to the gallows.

As far as he knows, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Besides, he didn't feel the slightest need for mercy for these people who were preparing to carry out a sneak attack, and it could be seen from their ruthless style that human lives were absolutely indispensable in their hands.

The invisible mercenaries were completely defenseless, and even if they wielded their weapons, they could not slow down the speed of death.

When the dust settled, Huck counted the number of people and found that there was one person missing.

Sauter, who had taken the lead, was nowhere to be seen, standing on the grass and looking around, but Huck didn't see his shadow.

Ran away while the chaos was made?

It can't be, it should be lying on the ground and trying to dodge.

Thinking of this, Huck chuckled, this is not difficult for him, no one wants to run away today!
