292. Nether Dog
"Nether Dog?"
Lan on horseback let out a low cry of surprise.
In the lighting conditions of the underdeveloped world, it is still a cloudy and hazy winter day, and the view of the country road can be imagined.
Basically two steps away, it was pitch black.
Lan En filled himself with a bottle of [Cat] potion in advance before he could continue his journey.
In the current group of witchers, it is estimated that he will use expensive potions on the road.
After all, a torch can sell for a few coppers? I can make it happen.
Wave Pai didn't feel any uneasy about the light, and the war horse would have to charge with an eye patch during training, and it was very suitable for being led around without a field of vision.
But in the darkness that engulfed the entire world, several faint supernatural lights lit up the fence around the village.
It was yellow like solid sulfur, but it shimmered like radioactive material. It is a short-haired retriever with blood-red eyes.
At this time, his eyes that lit up slightly in the darkness were looking at the two or three Nether Hounds in amazement.
He had only seen this kind of monster in the legends of "chasing evil" in books and books.
It is rumored that the unforgivable evil deeds will bring this canine-like monster from hell to the world and punish it. They are the legendary sentinel hounds that hunt wildly.
Their trickiness is matched by their numbers, and packs of Nether Hounds are too afraid for even the most famous Master Witcher to fight head-on.
But with the number of these three or three now.
Lan En smacked his mouth, rolled over and dismounted.
He stroked Popai's neck to keep the mare from reacting to the monster's chaotic magic.
For natural life, the discomfort caused by the magic of chaos is very heavy.
After all, it's a supernatural force that is erosive, mutating.
Wizards and witchers can be said to be benign humans who have applied 'nuclear radiation'. But the deterrent effect of 'nuclear radiation' on ordinary living beings still exists.
This is one of the reasons why both types of people are generally frowned upon in society - the discomfort of being in contact with the magic of chaos is vaguely felt with them.
The long knife, which was as clear as the moonlight, was slowly pulled out of Lan En's waist.
The sound of steel rubbing against the scabbard was pleasant in this gentle movement.
The Nether Dogs, who had been circling outside the fence, turned their heads in unison and stared at the living creatures that were close to them with those pairs of blood-like eyes.
Ignorant people say that Nether Dogs are 'evil chasers', but expert witchers know more about monsters.
The witchers agree with the theory that crimes will provoke the Nether Dogs to converge, but they also believe that as long as they are living creatures, these monsters will be killed regardless of whether they are guilty or not.
The three Nether Hounds, who had confirmed the existence of the living creatures, rushed forward with a low roar like three real hounds.
Their agile bodies leave behind a sulfur-colored flame similar to their body color every time they step on the ground.
It was their nether fire, which usually stayed on the ground for a few seconds or so, and it didn't end well if you stepped on it or got sprayed right up.
But in the face of such a ghostly monster, Lan En still walked steadily.
The long elf-style knife with smooth and graceful lines in his hand shook out a gorgeous knife flower under the rotation of his wrist.
The first Nether Dog jumped straight up and bit at the witcher's neck.
Monsters in their semi-material form are many times lighter than flesh hounds, which makes them almost agile enough to play an old hunter.
But in the face of this light and swift bite, Lan En did not have any emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
"Compared to the wolf on Ashina's side that was stimulated by the water of the source and trained by the ninja. Well, pretty straightforward. β
A crisp sound of "poof"!
The dog's mouth that bit into Lanen's neck was directly bounced back by the clear Arondaite.
γReed Celebrity: Ascending Carpγ!
"Oh? Is the body structure the same as that of a dog? β
Not only did it bounce open the monster's fangs, but the superb oriental martial arts made the Nether Dog's body lean back after a moment of contact, completely unable to control the posture.
In the rules of the battle of the reed celebrities, this is already a 'collapse of the posture'.
The horizontal blade didn't even need to adjust its direction too much, Lan En just changed his footsteps from a half-bow to a forward step, and his body directly carried the blade like a gust of steel blade wind, slashing through the neck of the Nether Dog passively raised.
Arondette pulled a gap across half of his neck in the other's body, and sulfur-colored flames escaped from the hole.
After a split second of contact, the nether fire in a Nether Dog was about to run dry.
The monster's whimper as it was on the verge of dissipating sounded like a normal dog.
Lan En subconsciously shook off the non-existent blood stains on the long knife, and the slightly shiny cat eyes looked at the two yellow light dogs who ran to a stop halfway.
Hesitation, hesitation. And fear.
The nature of hunting for living creatures drives them, but the instinct to dissipate fear prevents them.
Rann made a difficult choice for them.
"Woohoo!"
The ghost dog with a large hand with a studded leather glove holding the skull whimpered and screamed like a house dog that had been pumped.
Lan En learned from the lone shadow's ninja moves book in a short sprint of steps, and with the strength of his legs, he was even faster than the semi-materialized Nether Dog!
Another Nether Dog reflexively culled, but when it pounced halfway, it was directly dragged by Lan En's body, and pressed its mouth against its mouth with the body of the same kind!
With a flat face, he raised his knife upside down, and then with a 'poof' sound he nailed to death the two nether dogs that were forcibly stacked together.
Lane calmly got up and thrust Arondaite back into his waist.
"Looks like I'm already a strong man, Mentos."
The cat's eyes looked at the full moon in the sky, and there was a kind of loneliness of the master.
The biological brain in the brain, the tone at this time also adheres to the style of the subject, which seems indifferent and high-pressing.
"Yes sir, you are strong. But."
The conversation took a turn abruptly.
"According to my meteorological records, every few minutes there is a wave of low air from the lake, which is known as 'ground wind'. Aren't you really going to put away the ghost dust on the ground at this time? β
The tall young man who was originally looking up at the full moon above his head hurriedly ran to the side of Bopai in the distance the next moment, and then took out his tools from his horse's backpack and began to collect the three small piles of crystal dust on the ground into the box.
The contrast between the front and back looks very embarrassing.
But Mentos knew: he had to thank us!
Sure enough, the next moment.
"Hey! Thank you so much, Mentos, a small pile of ghost dust is more than a dozen Oren! Pure money! β
The biological brain is very pleased with the frugal housekeeping of the main body.
Lan En's craftsmanship was very skillful, and it didn't take long for him to collect the clods of soil stained with ghost spirit dust, which would re-precipitate pure ghost spirit dust after being cleaned by the alchemy solution.
And when he had done all this, Lan stood up and looked at the small village not far away where torches were gradually lit and the villagers had gathered at the gate of the fence.
The smile on his face gradually faded.
Under the light of the fire, the villagers had a friendly smile on their faces, 'Meet the Hero'.
But Rann knew very well that the Nether Dogs were indeed attracted to sin.
The three Nether Dogs are really not many, but they do exist.
