Looking at Geralt in the distance, Luo Xian was a little distracted, and his mind was thinking about going there to inquire about the deer head, when he heard a timid voice next to him asking, "This hunter master, do you have time now?"

Luo Xian turned his head in surprise, and the person who spoke was an old man with his hair neatly combed back, wearing a blue dress. A dagger hung from his waist.

"You're asking me?"

"That's right, the guards all said that there were two very powerful demon hunters in the Crow's Nest, and the Baron had to rely on them to solve difficult problems, and the fire that broke out in the castle stables the day before yesterday was also extinguished by their spells, so that we didn't have to move out. One with white hair and two swords on his back, and the other with a white hood and a silver mask on his face, were easily recognizable, but they came and went from time to time, and few people met them. Luckily, I woke up early today, and I happened to meet you around here. It seems that you are exactly the same as the guards say, so I came up to ask. The old man spoke very softly, as if his throat had been hurt in some way.

"Well, that's me, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm a lame veteran who retired from the battlefield. The old man said as he pulled up his trouser leg and pointed to his injured ankle.

Luo Xian saw that it was obvious that the ligaments had been cut with a sharp blade, and then they had not received the treatment they deserved, and now they were useless.

"Do you need me to help you find medicine for your feet? I only know one witch doctor, I don't know if he has any medicine for it, and I don't know what I can do about it. "A ruptured ligament is also a very difficult injury in his modern society, and professional athletes have many skilled doctors in the imperial court who cannot guarantee a complete cure, let alone have no idea about it.

"No, no, my lord, it's not this thing that I need to trouble you, I know my feet are no longer better, it is a reward for my years of fighting, I have nothing to complain about. I'm talking about monsters, there's a kind of monster living nearby, and we can't deal with it, so I want to trouble the adults and see if you can get rid of it. The old man became a little nervous.

"Monster, what monster? Can you tell me more about it?" Luo Xian became interested, he was worried that there was no place to find the news of the deer head spirit.

"Let's go somewhere else and say, it's not convenient here. The old man pointed to the main road, where the guards of the crow's nest were kept, and the crossbowmen on the towers were lying on the railings looking down.

Luo Xian nodded, and followed the old man to a wooden house.

"When I was wounded and retired, I wandered from place to place, and when I heard that the baron was recruiting, I came with me, and spent most of my savings to buy some cows, and sold them to everyone with their milk. I had eight cows, and five of them were ready to produce milk, but suddenly one day they took my cows out to graze, and suddenly the monster attacked the herd, and all that was left of the meadow was cow dung. ”

"Why don't you tell the Baron's men that they collect taxes from you, and don't they also have to keep you safe?"

"Lord Baron's strength has expanded too quickly, absorbing a lot of original ruffians and hooligans, these people have little ability to fight, and there are many means of extortion. Two or three times they have been paid from me and have not worked, and I have no savings. ”

Luo Xian can imagine that in troubled times, the unlucky ones are civilians, and in addition to military disasters, the most destructive ones are these ruffians, and they are the poison of troubled times.

"Can you tell me more about that monster? Have you ever seen it look like?"

"No, I don't go far because of my leg problems, but we all call it Screamer because it likes to make strange noises before attacking the target, so we all call it Screamer. ”

It turned out that it wasn't a deer head.

"That monster didn't appear nearby, there had been a small number of cows and goats attacking everyone, even if they met a lone human. My good friend Pozlo, a hunter under the old lord, said he was fed up with the screaming monsters and wanted to get rid of them. ”

The old lord is talking about the lord who escaped from the crow's nest during the war, it seems that when Philip occupied the crow's nest, he also collected some of the previous lord's men, which must have involved a fight between the old man and the newcomer.

"A few days ago, he was carrying an axe and waiting for the monster to appear in the wheat field on the other side of the moat. But when we went there to look for him, his intestines were all pulled out and hung on the canopy, and they were long and thin. It took us most of the day to get his internal organs back and hold a simple funeral for him. Originally, I wanted to avenge him, but looking at my legs, I can't go to the battlefield anymore. So the guards said that there were two demon hunters in the crow's nest, and I came with the money, and as long as you can get rid of that monster, I'm willing to pay you enough, and if you can bring that monster's head back to me, so much the better. ”

"Professional matters should be handled by experts, and I take your request. But I need to know something more, does anyone else know about this monster?"

The old man's eyes darkened, and he nodded, "Pozlo's son Simko probably knows a little bit about it, I heard that he has seen monsters with his own eyes. But... It may not be easy for you to talk to him, he has not yet come out of his father's death. ”

"No matter how difficult it is, I have to try, where should I find him?"

"On my family's farm, after the cattle were gone, I had some goats and chickens and ducks to take care of, and I took him in after the child's father died, and his mother died a long time ago, and now the child is alone. ”

The old man's farm was actually a two-acre livestock pen with a warehouse for chopping wood to boil water and stacking grain, and the old man said that Simko was feeding chickens on the land behind the warehouse.

"Hey, Simko, can we talk? Talk about your father. ”

"Go away. "The child seemed very aloof.

"Be strong, your father is a brave man, and we all admire him. ”

"I told you to go away!"

"You're a man, Simko, listen. I'm here to avenge your father, I have a lot of experience killing monsters, but before I can do that, I need to know what exactly killed him. ”

"The screaming monster killed him, everyone knows, why are you asking me?"

"Good boy, the name screaming monster doesn't serve me much. I need some specific description, and if you can, you'll have to tell me what it looks like, and then I'll be able to get its head back for you to confirm. ”

"Well... All right... Looks a bit like a... But it's huge... It also has lizard-like scales and a tail. I... I... When I went out to look for my father, I heard the family dog barking in the woods, so I ran over to see what it was barking. At this time, I saw that the monster was flying away, and Daddy..."

"Dad was thrown like a broken pocket in the bushes with a big hole in his belly! I screamed so loudly, so miserable! I tried to save him! But how can I save him?!

"Understood, I promise you, I'll come to you with the monster's head. Luo Xian understood, this child watched his father die tragically in front of him, but he couldn't do anything, and his heart collapsed.

The only way to get him back is to kill the monster.

Luo Xian turned to leave, walked a few steps, and a very light sentence came from behind him, "Please be careful, thank you..."

"Hmm~" Luo Xian did not stop, but went away directly, he was going to go to the wheat field where the accident happened to find clues.

The wheat field is located in the northwest of the crow's nest, and the entrance and exit of the crow's nest are due south, so Luo Xian has to take a long detour to reach his destination, but fortunately there are crockpots, so you don't have to walk the trouble.

The body of the hunter Pozlo has been cleaned up by relatives and friends, and Luo Xian did not find any more clues about the hunter, but accidentally found the body of a dog, presumably the dog in Simko's mouth.

There was blood on the corners of the dog's mouth and neck, and traces of bites could also be seen with the naked eye, Luo Xian carefully observed the vicinity, and finally found a few marks that looked like chicken claws not far away.

Of course, these are not ordinary chicken claws, these claws are two feet in size, and their owners are probably about the size of elephants.

Roson doesn't have Geralt's beastly insight and detective reasoning, but he has his own way of dealing with it.

Luo Xian snapped his fingers casually, and a flame white crow flew out happily, jumping around Luo Xian.

There is a bear soul inside, far superior to ordinary birds, and the task of reconnaissance can be left to it.

The White Flame Raven jumped a few times on the claw-like mark, then flew in one direction.

Professional things are left to professionals, this sentence is true, the breath of monsters cannot escape the tracking of white crows.

Leaving the wheat field and heading towards the river beach, near a hill surrounded by rocks, Luo Xian found a hidden cave and went deep into the ground. The entrance to the cave was covered in dense vines and branches, but there were still faint signs of things coming in and out.

The white crow plunged headlong into the hole, and Luo followed closely behind.

The cave has been extending downward, about a hundred meters down, the white crow flew up to a high platform in the cave close to 20 meters, and then a huge chirping sound similar to a chicken and duck came from the high platform, which was extremely unpleasant.

It seems that the monster is in the cave at the moment, and has found the main owner.

The sound continued to echo on the stone walls of the stone cave, shaking people's hearts, but fortunately, Luo Xian had already surpassed the scope of human beings, and some unfavorable factors for human organs and characteristics were useless to him, he was just a magical skeleton now.

The monster seemed to be angry at the intruding crow, hissing incessantly.

Although the white crow is said to be a fusion of the bear spirit, but the bear spirit is still very weak, and it is not the opponent of the monster at all, if it is an adult mountain giant bear that has been integrated before, it is another matter.

Luo Xian and the white crow had a heart-to-heart connection, and the white crow just harassed the monster and made it irritable, and finally after a few rounds, it was unbearable, and the monster's hissing sound went away from the cave, and the white crow flew away.

There are other exits to this cave! Luo Xian suddenly realized his mistake, and immediately reflexively walked out of the cave.

The sky was a little gloomy at the moment, and the wind was raging outside, and there was no dawn at all.

In the midst of the wind, a huge shadow chased this white dot and flew in the sky.

The white dot couldn't fight against the shadow, and after a few small circles, it immediately fell to the ground and threw itself into Luo Xian's body, the previous few harassments and chases, it was already the limit of the bear spirit, and now the target was drawn out, and the spiritual power was exhausted, and he returned to Luo Xian's body and waited for it to be restored.

As soon as the white dot fell on Luo Xian, a gust of fishy wind followed, and the shadow immediately rushed to the top of Luo Xian's head and pressed straight on.

The mysterious monster finally revealed its true face at this moment.

The huge head of an ugly rooster was covered with a dense pimple comb, a huge flesh hanging from the beak of the chicken, a body that should have been full of feathers covered with palm-sized scales, and two three-fingered curved claws at the tips of the wings, which could support the monster to stand on the ground like a bat.

The monster pounced on top of Luo Xian's head, and Luo Xian's whole body was retracted, like a petal blown by the wind, and it was powerless, and suddenly turned into a firework the size of a fingernail and flew away from the gap between the monster's shoulder blades.

This is a method of escape, fire-shaped escape, which can turn the entire body into flames and escape to a distance, with Luo Xian's current cultivation level, it can only be effective within twenty or thirty meters, although it is useless in the eyes of immortal cultivators, and he can't even escape the attack range of a casual blow, but it is enough to deal with the monster in front of him.

The roo-headed monster swooped into the air, searching its head wrapped in a hard periosteum, its eyelids turning upwards to reveal the cold yellow pupils inside, and beyond that, it was the gray body like a rock.

As it landed, a huge amount of air pressure poured out of its body, pressing down on the weeds and shrubs around it, forming a huge circle around it.

Suddenly, the monster seemed to have spotted Luo Xian's trace, its eyes fixed on one place, its two forefeet and three fingers firmly grasped the rock buried deep in the ground, only a little bit of the surface of the ground, and leaned forward. A scratched, badly worn rooster beak opened and hissed, and in the wind, a strong sense of oppression struck abruptly.

As soon as Luo Xian re-transformed from the flame form into a human form, a gray light appeared from the mouth of the monster here, following it like a shadow, converging into a pillar of light, which shot directly at where Luo Xian was.

Luo Xian suddenly warned frantically in his heart, only to feel that it was a great danger to stay in place, and immediately turned into flames again and turned to other places.

After the monster missed a blow with a gray light from its mouth, it also looked much tired, and there was an unwilling roar in its mouth.

Luo Xian fled away, looking back, the strange gray light that had attacked him just now had dissipated, and the place where he had landed just now was all gray. A two-foot square piece of ground, not only the soil, grass and trees, but even some insects and pigs have turned gray and white, and they do not move for a moment, like stone carvings.

The gray light just now turned all the shrouded things into stone in an instant, Luo Xian's eyes tightened, it turned out to be an extremely rare petrified supernatural power?!
