On the afternoon of the second day of entering the mist, Wayne and the others went deep into the hinterland of the mist, and chose a small village that had been destroyed as a resting point on the past map of Kodwin.

Along the way, the number of monsters they cleaned up has exceeded thousands, although it is only a wave of intermittent monster groups, and the physical strength of the demon hunters can still hold up, but the continuous release of spells still makes the two female warlocks tired enough.

It just so happened that the buildings in this village could be used as a defensive facility, and after cleaning the village of monsters, they simply decided to stay here for one night to relieve the fatigue of the battle.

Wayne was the most popular chef in the group, with two sorceresses in charge of the work, and the three Rayso guarding the village's perimeter for possible monster attacks.

When the delicious dinner was ready, the group had a rare time to sit together and discuss their next steps.

"There are so many monsters here, I bet I've encountered more monsters in the past two days than I've encountered in the past year."

"And compared to the zombies resurrected by humans, evil ghosts and water ghosts are even more difficult to deal with after being resurrected."

"Most of their physical weaknesses have disappeared, and although their agility has decreased, their lethality has increased, and I was almost injured the last time I was besieged."

It was Oakes of the Pit Viper School who spoke, and compared to Resso's taciturnity, Oakes and the other Serrett were still younger and more active.

When Serrett heard this, he said with a worried face:

"It seems that those warlocks' fears are not wrong, if this kind of monster that can resurrect corpses is rampant throughout the world."

"It is impossible for any human kingdom to resist these undead creatures, and when those kingdoms are destroyed, they will even form an army of hundreds of thousands or millions of undead monsters."

"There are too many humans, much more than the number of monsters."

Hearing this, Lei Su was also a little silent, and seemed to be thinking about the possibility of such a thing.

Wayne sat on the sidelines, listened to their discussion, and suddenly said a little speechlessly:

"You are worrying too much, and when the time comes, everyone will be cremated after death, and the corpses will be burned, which will greatly alleviate it."

"And don't underestimate the spellcasters too much, monsters like this that move slowly and can only be lethal in groups, as long as you let go of your hands and feet and find the weak points, the warlocks can easily solve them."

Margarita, who was sitting next to Wayne, also smiled slightly when she heard this, and said in a rather confident tone:

"Yes, Mr. Resso, you don't need to worry about that."

"Our Warlock Brotherhood is actively studying the weaknesses of these monsters, and it won't be long before we can develop magic to deal with them."

"Just like these days, we've found that cold temperatures are especially effective for these zombies."

"If there is a need in the future, we only need to unite the three warlocks, and we have the ability to launch a large blizzard covering several kilometers."

"At that time, even tens of thousands of these zombies will be frozen in place and lose their combat effectiveness."

"Like large-scale dispel spells, spells that forcibly change the terrain, as long as we are given time to prepare, we Warlock Brotherhood can use them in a targeted manner."

"In fact, in this bounty competition, each participating warlock still has an invisible mission, that is, to collect information about the monsters they have encountered."

"I believe that after the end of this commission, with the combat data that so many warlocks have personally experienced, we will definitely be able to have a better understanding of these monsters from another world and formulate more effective strategies."

"As long as we can find a way to seal the gap that has been torn apart by the power of another world, it will not be a problem to solve the monsters in the mist."

Kayla also agreed, saying that most of the Warlock's power was limited by the Warlock Brotherhood and could not be used at all.

If necessary, an outstanding warlock like her, who can become a royal advisor, can use even the magic that destroys a city if she has the materials and time to cast her spells ready.

While the group was discussing tomorrow's itinerary, Wayne was keen to hear a group of noisy cries for help, cursing and desperate shouts.

He was slightly stunned at first, and immediately understood that it was the other warlocks who had been attacked, and the thought of not saving them if he saw death flashed in his mind, after all, it was a competitive mission now, although it was not allowed to kill each other, but there was no rule that the people in distress must be saved.

However, he soon changed his mind, because Wayne thought that all the people who could participate in this bounty competition were young warlocks from the north, and some of them were acquaintances from the original books.

Regardless of whether you save people or not, it is best to go over and find out, who was attacked?

When the time comes, whether it is to die or not to be saved, or to be a favor, it is a good choice.

With this in mind, Wayne said to the others:

"I hear the voice of the enemy, stay on your guard, I'll take a look."

Rayso and the others nodded, no objection, but Kayla opened her mouth and wanted to go with Wayne.

"I'll go with you, Wayne, and the two of you can take care of each other."

Wayne glanced back at Kayla and saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but feel a little more fond of this petite sorceress.

Sure enough, as Margarita said, there are only some precious qualities that can be seen in young sorceresses like Triss and Kayla.

However, he still rejected Kayla's kindness, and comforted him:

"Don't worry, it's better for me to act alone, and there won't necessarily be a fight."

"Do not act rashly, lest you get involved in a worthless battle."

After leaving the rest point, Wayne immediately put on an invisibility cloak for himself, although he is not afraid of any battle, but more is better than less, if the other party is not worth saving, then he will only stand by and watch.

Soon, after about two hundred meters of distance, he was on a ramp outside the village and saw a massacre in progress.

About twenty archers wearing leather armor, with blue-black skin all over their bodies, and demonic tattoos on their faces, were chasing and killing a group of mercenaries from all directions, using the bows and arrows in their hands.

These archers move very fast and shoot with great accuracy, even if the mercenaries who are being pursued are cornered and want to reflexively attack them, they will not be able to catch up with them.

On the contrary, because the movement was too big to protect, he was shot in the eye socket and neck by several bows and arrows, and died tragically.

Originally, there were about thirty or forty mercenaries, but after only resisting for about seven or eight minutes, most of them were killed by those archers.

However, the sacrifice of these mercenaries was not in vain, they managed to hold back the archers, and gave a comfortablely dressed middle-aged man running at the front a chance to escape.

The middle-aged warlock was emaciated, even obscene, with a mustache under his nose, his face was full of fear and sweat, and he just gritted his teeth and ran towards the village.

Wayne stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something and recognized the identity of the man.

The guy's name is Kalkstein, and he is a master alchemist, chemist, inventor, scientist, soothsayer, writer, runesmith, and warlock from the capital of Temeria, Vijma.

Once in the game of The Witcher One, he worked with Geralt and is a very talented researcher.

The reason why Wayne knew him was not only because this guy was well-known in Virgin, but also because he once wanted to recruit this very talented researcher to join his Witcher Order.

However, during that time, Kalkstein went out to conduct other research, and the two sides did not have a chance to meet at all, and the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Unexpectedly, he met this guy here, and the other party was in danger of losing his life.

Since this is the case, it is also a good choice to save the other party.

Wayne's mind only thought about it for a moment, and his body reacted immediately.

When he was hundreds of meters away from those demon archers, he took out his dragon bow from his bracelet, first put a strengthened version of the Kunn Law Seal on himself, and then used his superb archery skills to shoot at each other.

The powerful arm strength made the arrows he shot extremely fast, and the distance of a hundred meters roared by, instantly piercing the head of the demon archer, killing him in place.

Not only that, Wayne's archery speed is also very fast, even if you count the aiming time, you can basically reach the speed of one arrow in three or four seconds.

Soon, before those demon archers could react, they had already shot three or four.

Seeing this, those mercenaries who were dying immediately realized that reinforcements had come from their side, and they desperately gathered together, and did not charge, just wanting to save a dog's life between the gaps between the sharpshooters on both sides.

When the fallen archers realized that Wayne was a formidable enemy, they also gathered around them, trying to use their numerical superiority to suppress Wayne's long-range attacks.

However, Wayne's Quinn shield at this time was already extremely hard, even if he didn't dodge or dodge, he could carry more than a dozen arrows without moving, standing directly with those archers, and quickly taking away a few lives from the other party.

And once this shield is broken, the cunning witcher will immediately flash into the cover on the side, and in just a few seconds, he will immediately put another layer of hard shield on his body, not giving these archers a chance to fight back at all.

Coupled with the containment of those mercenaries between the two sides, in just a few minutes, more than half of these twenty or thirty fallen archers were shot by Wayne.

The rest of them all had bad insights and quickly disappeared into the fog.
