The rain in the sky became lighter and lighter, and finally stopped in the middle of the night.

As if the haze in my heart had been blown away, the thick clouds were swept away by the wind, and only a few faint tulles remained in the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled through the tulle, covering the earth and all things with a layer of silver light.

Tia flew along the path, which was deep into a reed drift surrounded by shallow tidal flats.

Geralt coldly reminded, "Be careful, there's monsters around. ”

Before the white wolf could finish speaking, humanoid monsters appeared in the mud of the mudflats, looking like rotting human corpses with skin peeled off.

As they appeared, the air was filled with the smell of decay, the stench of the flesh that had been eroded by the mud and gradually melted in the thick muddy water. Now suddenly it gushes out of the ground, and for a moment it is exposed to the stench of the air.

"It's a corrupt demon, a corpse-eating creature with a natural craving for human and animal flesh. There is a large amount of miasma in the body.,Once you are highly attacked, it will explode.,Damage the creatures around it.,It's a very dangerous monster.。 Geralt cautiously introduced Luo Xian.

As the mist spread in the reeds, more than a dozen similar monsters stood on both sides of the path, and it seemed that there was a lair of corrupt demons nearby. They are not fast, a bit like monkeys that have just learned to walk.

"Let me try my new martial arts. Geralt volunteered to come up with the idea of fighting alone.

"Don't force it, if the situation is not right, I will act immediately. Luo Xian nodded, he understood that men's love for force is like a child who has just gotten a new toy, and he can't sleep without showing it off to his good friends.

Geralt refined the swordsmanship that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Demon Hunter Wolf School, and many of them involved the cultivation of telepathy, so he mastered the mental combat method very quickly.

I saw that the white wolf quickly looked at his nose and nose, and the whole person was cleared up in the environment of strong enemies, and the mighty figure suddenly appeared behind him again.

The mighty phantom of "Cherry Blossom Chop", holding a huge wine gourd in his left hand, took a few sips with his head raised, and then tightened his stomach and chest, and suddenly a stream of wine mist sprayed out from his mouth to the surroundings, turning into pink cherry blossom petals in the sky and falling down, and pieces of flying flowers fell on more than ten corrupt demons.

Immediately after, the phantom's entire body with a single sword in his right hand suddenly disappeared from behind Geralt. I saw a silky sword light, dancing on the petals of the cherry blossoms flying in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the bodies of all the corrupt demons, and reappeared behind Geralt, standing like a patronus.

Bang bang bang, more than ten muffled sounds came from the corrupt demon's body, and the monster's body seemed to be poked by the tip of a needle, and it quickly exploded in place, and the smelly blood poured all over the ground.

Luo Xian popped out a few sparks and landed on the pus and blood, immediately burning it clean, and the air immediately became fresh.

The phantom vanished from behind the white wolf, and Geralt smiled rarely, "Although this Sakura Slash is not very powerful, it is the best choice to deal with those weakly defended enemies when facing a siege. In particular, you don't have to get close to these guys who will blow themselves up, it's much safer, as long as you are careful, you don't have to get hurt at all. ”

"If you like it, if you like. ”

"I feel that this swordsman named Yajin Phantom Juro, each of his swordsmanship, there are still many things to think about, and there are many characteristics that can be changed, which makes me fascinated. ”

"Convenience is convenience, then be careful, it is people who use swords, not swords, don't be confused by the simple tactics of spiritual swordsmanship, and become a monster controlled by swords when the time comes. It is you who master his sword heart, not swordsmanship that controls your heart. ”

"Don't worry, I have been through the Grass Trial, the Hormonal Trial, the Badge Trial, and the Valley Trial, and I know what my heart is, what power is, and I will not be blinded by pure power. ”

"Well, you're the first friend I've ever met in this world, and I don't want to lose you. ”

Geralt nodded at Luo Xian, there is no need to say too much about the friendship of men.

After killing the Corrupt Demon, the two continued to follow the path deep into the reeds, and soon found a horse corpse on the side of the road.

Geralt was an expert at spouting, so naturally he was the one who took the lookout.

"The bones have been here for a while, and the corrupt demons have no sharp teeth, they rely on the miasma on their bodies to turn the flesh into pus and feed on it, and they can't gnaw at the bones of horses. ”

"There are still some metal residues left of the saddle, the saddle is not made of bone, it has melted away, and the corpse-eating creatures have eaten everything these days, has the world become so difficult?"

"Well, wait a minute, it doesn't seem like the corrupt demons did it, they don't have so much power, the horse's ribs have been broken raw, what kind of creature is it..."

"The cervical vertebrae were broken and the horse's head was pulled off, which required a lot of force. ”

"The horse is missing a horseshoe. Is it a coincidence... Or is this horse owned by the owner of the asphalt refinery we found earlier?"

Hearing this, Luo Xian was a little anxious, "So the baroness is in danger? This horse is the mount she took with her when she fled? She and her daughter were attacked here?

"Don't worry, I haven't found any human corpses around, only this one horse. If the horse belonged to the baron, then the two of them must have encountered a powerful monster, or was it the one that was raided, but luckily, they escaped. It should be so, Tia did not deliver the sad news, and Anna must still be alive. ”

"The path continues to stretch, but fortunately it is not a dead end, and they may have fled along the road. ”

The two got on their horses and continued to chase after Tia.

Not long after, the two came to a river with a small pier with two boats and fishing nets woven to dry. One is wide and flat, the other thin and long, and it seems that the owner of the boat is not only a fisherman, but also a part-time ferryman, sending guests across the river.

Coming here, the light on Tia's body dimmed and slowly began to dissipate.

Geralt said, "It seems that this place has been out of the range of the house goblins, and Anna's body has not been found, so they should have escaped." There's a river, they've definitely been here, the fisherman should know about them, there's nothing Tia can do about it. ”

From the crow's nest, the straight-line distance is more than ten kilometers, and it seems that the detection range of the goblin is very wide. It's a pity that the use is limited, and only the location of blood relatives can be detected, and strangers can't do anything.

"Tia, thank you, you go back, we'll take care of the rest. Geralt bowed slightly to Tia's head and said politely.

Tia may have just been born, except for the head, the rest of the place is dissipating more and more, and after receiving Geralt's response, he did not refuse, and quickly left the way he came, disappearing at the end of the road.

In the fisherman's cabin, there was a candlelight flickering, and it seemed that he had not yet fallen asleep.

Geralt stepped up the steps, tapped lightly on the wooden door, and pushed it in without waiting for his master to respond.

"Who are you?" asked a boy who was bouncing around the room as he watched a stranger with a sword on his back break into his home.

"Go to another room, quick!" said a young woman, who seemed to be the fisherman's wife, was mending her clothes in front of the candlelight, and without asking who Geralt was, she asked the child to take refuge in another room.

One older and two younger, the three children came together and came to their mother's side, as if they did not want to leave the living room, and it seemed that they had not had enough fun.

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir, sir, our hut is remote and dilapidated, we have nothing but fish, it is under the rule of Lord Philip, and we pay our taxes on time. We live so far away that the news is closed and we don't know anything. The fisherman put down his pipe, and his right hand moved slightly closer to the dagger hanging from his chest, and it was evident that it was the tool he usually used to cut fish.

"Don't be nervous, bother. Geralt stretched out his hand and shook it to stop the fisherman, "We're just passing through here to ask you for some information." We are looking for two women, the wife and daughter of the bloody baron. ”

The fisherman slowly got up and walked in front of his wife and children, his hands lowered and crossed in front of his lower abdomen, "Sir, this is a very remote place, and few people have come here to cross the river except for those who like to save money. So, the person you said hasn't been here. ”

"Are you sure? I didn't even stop here? Come to think of it, I'm going to describe it in detail, my daughter is of medium height, about 20 years old, and her mother is skinny, about 40 years old. They're dressed in normal clothes and riding horses, have you seen them?" Geralt was probably in a good mood tonight, and was extremely patient.

"He's talking about the woman that night, isn't he, Mom?" the boy seemed to be extremely agitated, and immediately replied after hearing Geralt's description.

"Good boy, this is a reward for your careful observation, remember to share it with your younger siblings. Luo first took out a bag of things and threw it to the boy.

"It's fried chicken thighs, Mom, it's so delicious. "In the package is the food that Luo Xian bought at the Crossroads Hotel before, which is mainly convenient to carry, mostly fried meat, fried chicken thighs and barbecue jerky.

The fisherman may not be short of fish here, but there are no chickens around, and the source of meat is not necessarily stable, so Luo Xiancai took out something to find an excuse to give to the three children. He knew the craving for meat in growing children.

The eldest son spoke, and the fisherman and his wife looked at each other and fell silent.

"We want to help those two women, who may be in danger. In the process of searching for them, we found that they had traces of being attacked. Please, please tell us their whereabouts. ”

"Sir, my child has not seen anything, and not much of what he says is true, it is all a dream, maybe he sees it when he sleeps and dreams at night, don't take it seriously. The mother finally spoke, but only denied the boy's claim.

Geralt spread his hands helplessly, "Well, I just want to know what he dreamed about, it's okay." Kids, who did you see, who has been here?"

"My dad brought her back that night, and that lady would use herbs. She was scared and said that she had met a terrible monster nearby, and she kept saying that she had to go back, but I didn't know where she was going. ”

"The description should be Tamara, the baron's daughter has been here. Roxian said in Geralt's ear.

"Well, good, please continue. Geralt encouraged.

"My mom and dad comforted her and gave her old clothes to wear, which were all torn and dirty. The boy kept talking as he ate the chicken thighs.

The child could no longer be gagged, and the fisherman had no choice but to stand up, "Sir, I'm sorry for lying to you just now. But I see that your attire is not from the neighborhood, not even the Baron's men..."

"We are not the Baron's men. We were commissioned by Philip to find Tamara and her mother, and instead of taking them back, we wanted to make sure they were safe and sound. After their disappearance, Philip was concerned about their safety. ”

"Well, I'll be honest, Miss Tamara is fine, she went to my brother's house in the city of Redania, and I heard that she was going to seek help from the Eternal Fire Sect. And, Lady Anna... Not so lucky... Anyway, though. Wherever they went, it was better than staying with the Baron in the Crow's Nest. ”

"How?"

"Because... Because the baron beat her. Sir, this is a well-known thing in Willen, and the baron will beat Lady Anna. Everyone knew it, but no one dared to stop him. Miss Tamara asked me, so I had to do what I could, and send her away from Willen by boat, as far away from the Baron as possible. ”

Geralt and Luo Xian glanced at each other, and the baron's domestic violence had already shocked Willen.

"What happened to Tamara's mother, Anna? You mentioned that she wasn't with Tamara. ”
