Chapter 6: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes

For a hunter, his ability depends on his eyesight. Any ability to enhance eyesight will give the Hunter a boost.

The fire that had been extinguished in the hotel was still warm, and the girl had not been away for long. Although it is unknown what her purpose is, El, as a great hunter, has his own way of tracking and finding. The beasts of the forest do not speak, but the scents, hoof prints, dung, hair, and other subtle clues they leave behind are like torches in the night to the eyes of hunters.

The streets that had not been cleaned for a long time were covered with dust, and a clear trail of footprints could be seen even without using the power of the Insight Rune. There is no point in following any footprints if the city were as prosperous as it once was, and there has been no living movement on the streets for a long time.

El crouched down, looked down and carefully studied the traces left by the girl, and deduced her approximate position. He knew the streets of Queensland as well as he knew his own body, so he was a little more worried.

He jumped lightly onto the roof and ran quickly in the direction of the trail.

Tiana really didn't notice the problem beneath her feet, and of course because her enemies were also not experts in this area, the world had no color in the eyes of the undead undead, they could see the light flowing in the body of the living, and they were blind to other external objects.

The moment she turned her head, her pupils constricted, and she almost stopped breathing.

Although I know that I will fall into such a mortal situation sooner or later, and I am already mentally prepared. But until the last minute, she still didn't want to give up.

Tiana gritted her teeth and clenched her fists against her chest.

Feathered arrows flew past the girl's cheeks, and the strong wind pressure blew away the flames and shot into the mouth of the cursed priest, causing his strange laughter to come to an abrupt end. The next moment he had two identical arrows stuck in his chest, arrows spinning and peeking out of his back, stirring his entrails into a mess.

Not an enemy......

Tiana sat on the ground, gasping for air, her heart pounding.

She watched in amazement as El walked out of the darkness quickly, each trembling of the bow and arrow in her hand hitting a zombie's head accurately, and it took less than three or five breaths for them all to return to the arms of death.

The girl's tense nerves loosened, and she suddenly felt that her hands and feet were weak, and she suddenly lost the strength of her whole body.

"Be careful, he's not going to die that easily!" Tiana tried to cry out, but her throat was sweet and her voice was weak, and she didn't know if El heard it.

The flaming ghoul struggled to pounce, its body shattered by a magic missile, but still vicious. Elr strode up to meet it, slashing the other half of its head with an axe. The ghoul failed to do him harm, but it blocked his view, and when he turned his head, the cursed priest on the opposite side was nowhere to be seen.

"What the hell is this? The plague in the city is the ghost of them?"

El frowned and shook off the black blood from his axe, he grew up in the forest and knew very little about the world outside of the natural system.

"The Cursed Sect, a group of madmen who believe in evil gods. Tiana sighed and carefully put away the half of her staff. "You've got in a big trouble, Mr. El. ”

"At least you're not qualified to say that, are you?" El squinted at the girl, "Miss Tiana, no matter what, such a dangerous thing should not be borne by a girl. ”

"All beings are equal under the sun, and there is no distinction between men and women, old and young, in the face of death. Tiana looked up without showing weakness, her thin and petite body looking particularly thin in the night wind, but her eyes were unwavering.

El didn't know what the girl had gone through, but she could see the determination in her eyes and the exhaustion behind her perseverance.

"You need to rest now, Miss Tiana. It's not safe here, I'll take you back to the village. ”

"No, the cursed priest must be eliminated first. Tiana said calmly, trying to cast another tracking spell, but suddenly felt a wave of vertigo. The unexpected battle had exhausted her mental strength, and at the moment of life and death, she had even pushed her to the limit, and now she felt the serious consequences when she relaxed.

The girl staggered and fell backwards, a subconscious habitual action to avoid intimate contact between her face and the ground. It's not the first time she's fought to exhaustion, but luckily this time she's got a partner around her. She was no longer greeted by the cold ground, but by a pair of warm hands.

El carefully picked up Tiana, lest his own hands stain her clothes. The girl's body was even lighter and softer than expected, and the faint body fragrance mixed with the taste of tea made him twitch his nose twice, and his heart was uplifted.

The embarrassed boy shook his head vigorously, trying to forget his reverie. He turned his attention to the remains of the ghouls in the flames, his face slightly gloomy.

Compared to the beasts in the mountains and forests, the speed and strength of this monster are nothing. Rather threatening, it was the spellcaster of the Cursed Sect. El had heard of the mysterious ways in which spellcasters fought each other, and tonight was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Frankly, he didn't have a particularly effective way to defend himself.

"Find the Cursed Priest...... Otherwise he will come to you. Tiana leaned on El's shoulder and whispered weakly.

"They are outnumbered and will not let go of any clues...... They will find your village. ”

"Really? That's a real problem. El's face turned cold.

He walked over to where the Cursed Clergy had left and examined it carefully. It's a pity that the other party seems to have used a teleportation spell and left no trace of footprints.

However, El was not discouraged, and the other party wanted to know clues about him, and there was only one place to go. He turned his head to look at the only place in the dead city where there were still the living.

I don't know how long it will take for the Cursed Clergy to recover, so it's not a good idea to wait for the rabbit.

But El also knew that the girl in his arms needed a warm bed and food more than ever. She was so weak that she didn't know if she would be able to withstand the plague.

She knew more than I did, and if she recovered, it would have been even more useful, El convinced herself.

Tiana had closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and her condition was getting worse and worse. El no longer hesitated, turned and quickly left the place full of evil aura.

........................

The city of Queensland was still silent under the dark night, and a pair of blood-red eyes watched his figure disappear on the forest path, and then spread its bat wings and flew into the city.

"Just an ordinary hunter. ”

In the secret room, the pale young man in a black robe slowly opened his eyes and looked mockingly at his embarrassed companion in front of him.

"It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that the Snake of Light is no longer able to resist. ”

The Cursed Cler, who had been shot head-on by El, leaned against the wall and clutched the wound on his face and said viciously. Bitter green phosphorus fire leaked from between his fingers, corroding small holes in the wooden floor.

"The archbishop's order is to bring the woman back alive, and it took me so much to drain her to the point of exhaustion. If that doesn't catch her, it's your fault, Mr. Cross!"

"You and I know very well that this little injury is nothing to you, Master Devon. ”

The pale-faced man sneered, stood up and walked over to the Cursed Priest, and in the light of the moonlight, the black robe on his body glowed with pale green magic lines, elegant and noble yet terrifying.

"The Snake of Light has lost its minions, and your performance is just as clumsy. I think you just don't want to offend that woman too much, after all, the archbishop appreciates her talents. Maybe in the near future, we'll be there for her too, won't we?"

"Until then, she is still our enemy. Devon grinned quietly, "Don't say I didn't warn you, it will be difficult to catch that woman tomorrow after she recovers her mental strength." ”

The eyes of the two men were intertwined, each with a ghost in their hearts, but they tacitly did not come up with the information that reported the appearance of the Dancing Light Snake in time. Now that the goal is exhausted, this credit naturally does not need to be fought for by others.

"I have a good idea to give it a try. ”

Cross smiled confidently. He unhurriedly straightened his clothes, carefully combed his long gray hair, took out a mirror and looked at his pale face, and nodded in satisfaction.

Outside the window, a ghoul roared as bandaged monsters emerged from the shadows and converged outside the door.
