Seven paces away from the little gray-haired man, a long strip of creature was approaching, and the weeds and lichens rustled against each other.

It was a dark brown thing, with a length of four to five meters, which made people think it was a snake at first glance.

But Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't think it was a snake, because he had dealt with something similar to this one not long ago.

It's still familiar to me.

"That's a big centipede!"

Brian immediately fell to his knees and pulled two arrows from his quiver behind his back, one on the string and one in his mouth.

She said vaguely, "It's Yugonn!" ”

It was only then that Geralt and Viselmir saw the monster in its entirety.

It had two rows of barbed yellow legs, and its slender body was divided into segments by its carapace. It's so much more dangerous than a snake!

The little man with gray hair retreated to the root of a large tree, leaning his back to the root and screaming mournfully.

Arthropods, which have no blood or tears, constantly make the sound of their carapaces rubbing, "squeezing".

It lifted its head from the grass, and it was using its unique organs to detect the temperature, humidity, and pheromones emitted by its prey.

"That kid! Don't move! ”

Geralt shouted rudely, jumping up and down as he went, hoping to draw the monster's attention to the ground with the vibration of the ground.

Viselmere's rosacea wrinkled, and he reached out and pressed Brian, who wanted to shoot directly.

Under the incomprehensible gaze of the dryad, the old man shook his head: "Its chitin carapace can't stand against steel, but the carapace's natural smoothness and curvature are enough to bounce your arrows at this distance. In the face of the stray arrow, that little man doesn't have the carapace of an insect, and he doesn't have the agility of a dryad! ”

The giant centipede didn't want to pay any attention to the earth platform ten meters above, it was a cold and pragmatic monster. In their eyes, the meat in their mouths, no matter how small, is more valuable than the meat ten meters away.

The two tentacles on its head were waving in the air to gather information, and it only took a few moments to locate it.

The little man was so panicked, his body temperature rose in panic, he exhaled the heat with moisture, and the 'fear' in his sweat.

The body of the insect monster called Eugon, known as the Dryant, curled up in a ball, and the next moment it ejected like a spring with full power!

The bright yellow limbs reflect the light of the carapace of the creature, swinging rhythmically like rows of oars.

Geralt stood on the edge of the high earthen platform and looked down, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

This anxiety came inexplicably.

It's just a dead man, even if it's a small man, it's just a little man who is unlucky enough to die in the mouth of a monster.

Geralt has seen a lot, and even gets annoyed.

But today, he was inexplicably panicked, as if the little man at the bottom was very, very important to him.

"It's too high. There's not even a cushioning table in the middle! ”

Geralt withdrew from the edge of the platform, and prepared to make a detour a little further to see if there was another way for him to jump quickly.

A ten-meter-high platform! Even if he pushes himself, [Quinn] and [Alder] will have to break both legs in a row!

When the time comes, let alone saving that little man, he will die himself.

But Geralt, who didn't wait for a panic, turned around and ran away, and a big hand pushed him aside.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

It's Lann.

The youngest witcher present was pulling out the elven long knife with a graceful curve and a gorgeous sword from his waist at this time, making a pleasant sound of metal rubbing.

He walked straight towards the edge of the platform.

"Don't be stupid! This platform has a height difference of at least 10 meters! ”

Geralt, who was pushed away, didn't even have time to get angry, and he shouted a warning to the young man not to lose his sense of proportion because he was in a hurry, and he prepared to run, looking for a cushion platform to jump on.

Even if he was so anxious, he still didn't forget to remind Lan En to stay safe.

But just in the next moment. The young demon hunter jumped off the ten-meter-high, unbuffered earth platform without the slightest hesitation!

"Lanne!"

"Kid!"

Vismere and Geralt screamed at the same time, and then ran to the edge of the platform together to look down.

People like them, who have been in armor all year round, know too well that a soldier in heavy armor can be fatal if he stumbles from a platform more than one meter high!

The standard armor of the bear school was worn on his body, and he jumped straight down ten meters. Even the internal organs of witchers will be shattered!

When the two members of the Wolf School squeezed to the edge of the earthen platform and looked down, Viselmir had even taken out a bottle of [Pure White Rafad] from his bag, ready to hang the impulsive young man's life first.

But when their vision was no longer obscured by the edge of the platform, they were able to see what was going on underneath the platform.

"What the hell?!"

"The plague is on top!"

The two seasoned witchers thought they hadn't seen anything in their lives?

Today they found out that they had never seen this scene before!

The light texture that Lan En showed during the fall did not match his own weight at all!

And when he landed, it was not at all like what Viselmir and Geralt had expected, when the heavily armored man slammed into the ground and splashed a puff of smoke.

On the contrary, when Lanne's feet retouched the ground, he simply changed from an extremely stretched position to a squat, a very simple unloading stance that made his landing more like a hollow piece of wood than a pile of steel-clad flesh.

This action completely subverted Geralt and Viselmir's perception.

The two of them subconsciously held the wolf head pendant around their necks at the same time. But I was surprised to find that this equipment that can detect traces of magic is quiet like a fake at this time.

Using the [Light Body Technique] to directly resist Lan En, who fell ten meters, there was no time to dwell on the surprise of the two demon hunters above.

That Eugon's tentacles are almost touching the little man's hair!

With a "poof", the soles of the boots and the turf made a fierce and brief friction sound.

Lan En, who had just landed, started to charge directly from the unloading posture of the squat!

The unevenly growing grass on the ground was slashed into an inclined plane by the sword of the Lake Maiden that he held diagonally at his side as he flew by.

Yggon couldn't ignore anything other than the piece of meat in his mouth this time.

Because this movement does not mean that there is a new piece of meat in the distance, but a threat is approaching!

It stupidly spun around and pointed it at the rushing Lane.

This action undoubtedly increases its force area.

"[Alder]!"

"Bang!"

An invisible shockwave, with an evenly diffused force, just the right amount to knock the big centipede away, away from the little man.

The chitin carapace slammed into the trunk of a tree, and the elastic carapace was supposed to allow Eugonn to bounce back quickly after hitting the tree, reducing the time it took to lose balance.

But before that chitin carapace bounced two centimeters off the trunk.

"Poof!"

Almost immediately following the impact, the twisted and sinuous body was nailed to the xylem with a clear blade!

Without stopping, before Ugonn tried to bite the attacker along the blade.

The sharp blade that pierced its body had begun to slash upwards without stopping!

The carapace, the appendages, and even the trunk of the tree behind it were all cut in half in a 'stab' sound!

In the eyes of a small onlooker, the flesh of the giant centipede spewed out much more than normal for unknown reasons.

It almost turned into a regional 'rain'.
