Under the leadership of the tall youth, they quickly moved forward in the rubble. Along the way, they saw some huge footprints, which were about the size of a bathtub. It was not difficult to imagine what kind of giant creature passed by here. 81 Chinese Network
Dean smelled the residual smell on the footprints. Through the tracking of the smell, he smelled the source of the smell in the distance of about 25 to 30 miles. It was extremely strong and moving slowly.
The tall youth flew in the opposite direction of the footprints with Dean and others. They came to a broken street and stopped, saying: "Let's take a break. Dean, come over and look at the map. We have to rely on you to track the ghoul."
Dean heard the words and went forward to look.
Suddenly —
The tall youth suddenly turned around, pulled out a dagger, and violently stabbed Dean's chest!
This sudden change shocked Dean.
Clang! A sharp sound echoed!
Dean flew out and fell to the ground.
The tall youth was a little stunned. He looked at Dean's chest. The black hunting armor had been pierced, but … the inside was extremely hard, like a layer of steel plate!
This sudden turn of events left the Huntress, Swordsman, and Thief completely dumbfounded.
"Captain …" The female hunter was a little confused.
Dean was horrified. He looked at the tall youth incredulously. The next moment, he suddenly thought of an idea. His whole body suddenly turned cold. He quickly climbed up from the ground, turned around, and ran!
The hunting mission this time was simply a pretense!
Or the target of the hunt was not the ghoul, but him!
The tall youth saw Dean escape, and hurriedly said to the swordsman and the other two: "Catch him. This is the consortium's task. We must kill him!"
The swordsman and the other two looked at each other, but did not move.
The tall youth didn't say much to them and quickly chased after Dean. He thought that after the sneak attack was successful, he would slowly explain to them. But now the sneak attack failed. If he let a newcomer like Dean run away from his hands, it would be a big joke, and it would also anger the people above!
Whoosh!
The tall youth ran. Although he was a knight, his flexibility was not inferior to the thief and the hunter.
Dean felt that the figure behind him was getting closer and closer. He was frightened. He had no chance of winning against an intermediate hunter. He hurriedly threw out the life bag on his back. Although there was a detonator inside, it was too late to ignite. It was just a burden.
Run!
Dean ran for his life.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sound of breaking wind swept over.
When Dean heard the sound of the wind, he instinctively wanted to look back, but an alarm sounded in his mind. He couldn't look back, and his body took the lead to hide to the side.
Although he dodged quickly, a piercing pain still came from his back. It was as if a truck had hit him from behind. His body involuntarily fell forward and rolled several times on the ground.
At this time, Dean saw that the tall youth was quickly catching up. He also saw the tip of the spear from his back to his abdomen.
"Ah ah ah ah …" Dean's eyes were red. Enduring the pain, he pulled out the spear from his back. Blood gushed out and sputtered on the ground.
"Humph!" The tall youth coldly snorted, quickly rushed in front of Dean, and kicked.
Dean suddenly rolled sideways, grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at the tall youth's face.
The tall youth hurriedly raised his hand to block, but his foot stepped on empty air. When he looked again, Dean had climbed up and continued to run forward.
"Damn brat!" The tall youth gritted his teeth, grabbed the spear that was thrown on the ground by Dean, aimed at the running Dean, and threw it.
Dean covered the wound on his abdomen and endured the pain. Although he was running, his mind was always paying attention to the back. Seeing that the other side picked up the spear, he immediately knew that the other side was going to throw the spear again. He immediately endured the fear and continued to run along the straight line. Then suddenly, he rolled to the side to dodge.
With a whoosh, the moment he dodged, the spear whizzed past him and shot into the distance.
Dean's wildly beating heart was slightly relieved, then he gritted his teeth and ran to the side of the street.
The tall youth froze for a moment. It seemed that he didn't expect Dean to suddenly dodge. Originally, he saw Dean running in a straight line, so he thought that the spear would hit. Who would have expected that the other side's action turned out to deliberately lead him to misjudge!
"Damn it!!" The tall youth reacted, and suddenly became angry. He no longer picked up the spear, and quickly chased after Dudian.
Dean only felt the pain in his abdomen. In the process of running, it seemed that something was constantly leaking out of his body, which made his heart feel frightened. He could only cover his abdomen more tightly.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Dean was a little flustered. He knew that sooner or later he would be caught. Just now, he used the opponent's spear to pull away a little bit. But the opponent was, after all, an intermediate hunter. The distance between them was too close. It was impossible to get rid of him!
Whoosh!
The tall youth rushed to catch up. He looked at Dean in front of him, who was covering his abdomen with one hand and running in the air with the other. His heart was angry and somewhat frightened. Such speed was by no means a newcomer could have. Dean was faster than many junior hunters, and not much inferior to him.
The two of them ran on the street covered with moss, water, and mud. The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Soon, Dean smelled the opponent's scent. He was three or four meters behind him, and it was already within reach!
Is this the end …
A trace of despair flashed in Dean's heart. In vain, he saw a puddle on the side of the road in front of him. This was a collapsed street filled with accumulated rain. Fallen leaves and dark rotten things were floating on top of it. The water was muddy.
Dean gritted his teeth and jumped.
With a splash, he fell into the puddle.
The tall youth stretched out his hand to grab the air. He was slightly stunned and quickly stopped. Looking at the puddle of seven or eight square meters, his eyes became gloomy. "I wanted to leave you a whole body, but you actually courted death. You let the monster in the sewer take advantage of you."
He looked at the water and waited. Ten seconds later, a lot of blood floated up from the muddy water.
…
Dean plunged into the puddle. The first thing he felt was cold. The puddle was deep. He swam quickly and drilled into the puddle, for fear that the tall youth would also jump in.
After swimming for a while, Dean suddenly saw a black shadow, quietly and quickly swimming towards him. There were almost no fluctuations in the water as it swam.
An underwater monster! Dean's pupils shrank. He suddenly remembered that this was a sewer. Now that it was filled with water, there must be a lot of monsters living in the sewer for a long time.
Thinking of this, his heart was cold.
At this time, the black shadow was about four or five meters away from him. It swam quickly like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Dean tried to open his eyes. In the muddy water, he only felt pain in his eyes, but he still did not dare to close them. Suddenly, he saw the appearance of the black shadow. It turned out to be a crocodile-like monster. Its whole body was covered with fish scales. Its front mouth was extremely long. There were six extremely sharp claws under its abdomen. It was estimated that it could instantly tear a human body apart.
Dean kicked the water and wanted to escape in horror. But the opponent's underwater speed was too fast. It rushed forward and fiercely bit Dean's left leg with its big mouth full of sharp teeth.
A sharp pain came from his left leg. Dean painfully shook his leg, but the opponent tightly bit him. He suddenly thought of the dagger beside his leg. He hurriedly took it out and madly bent down to stab the monster's head.
The dagger stabbed down again and again. The monster's tail shook violently in pain, and the surrounding water surged.
Dean crazily stabbed, and a lot of blood floated out of the monster's head. It didn't take long for the monster's tight bite to loosen its strength. Dean hurriedly opened its upper and lower jaws and pulled out his leg. At the same time, he felt a sense of suffocation in his chest. Knowing that his holding time was almost up, he hurriedly looked around.
Soon, Dean found a hole in the wall and hurriedly swam toward it.
The hole was a drain leading to the sewer. Dudian pulled the rotting steel bars across the hole. The steel bars were broken with a gentle pull. Dudian immediately drilled into the hole.
The hole was facing upwards. Dean looked inside for a moment and finally surfaced. He couldn't help but gasp for breath. At the same time, he saw the surrounding environment. It turned out to be a moss-covered toilet.
…
…
The tall youth looked at the water in the puddle. As the water surged, a lot of blood floated out and dyed the turbid water light red.
At this time, the hunter and others caught up and looked at the blood in the puddle. They looked at the tall youth in bewilderment: "Captain, why?"
The tall man tilted his head to look at them and said indifferently, "This is a mission from the higher-ups, and it's from the Blon family. Each of you will be given a thousand gold coins to keep your mouths shut. You'd better not leak what happened today, or I won't be able to protect you."
The hunter and the other two looked at each other.
…
…
Dean didn't dare to break the toilet. The distance between him and the tall youth was less than 20 meters. It was easy to alarm the tall youth. He vaguely remembered that there were several collapsed buildings nearby. He should have come to one of the buildings along the sewer.
He gently gasped. He didn't dare to let his breath be too loud. His body was still soaked in the water. His palms were tightly covering the side of his abdomen. After soaking in the water, he felt that the wound on his back was getting more and more painful. It seemed that blood was constantly flowing out of it.
After a moment, Dean smelled the scent of the hunter and others. He immediately held his breath and sank his head into the water again. He didn't dare to make the slightest movement. He was afraid that they had perceptive magic marks and could find his position.
When he couldn't hold his breath again, Dean carefully floated his head out of the water. He controlled his chest to slowly inhale a trace of air. At the same time, he smelled their scent. He felt that they were still in front of the puddle. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He faintly felt that it was too dangerous here. He immediately took a deep breath and sank into the water. He continued to swim along the previous hole. He secretly prayed that he wouldn't encounter underwater monsters again.
He swam along the wall of the sewer. Although the light inside was dim, fortunately, his vision wasn't affected by the darkness. After swimming for more than 10 meters, he saw a huge seaweed-like monster in the distance. Its whole body was floating like seaweed-like tentacles.
The monster seemed to smell the blood on his body. It immediately swam over slowly.
Dean was scared and stopped in a hurry. He looked around and saw another hole similar to the previous one. He immediately drilled into it.
After entering this passage, Dean quickly swam up. The position exposed to the water was still a toilet, but this toilet had long been smashed. The surroundings were flat. Dean saw a rotten and dark skeleton not far away. The ground was full of rotten dust and some unknown monster feces.
At this time, Dean smelled the smell of the tall youth and others in front of the puddle. He turned back along the original road. It seemed that they were worried about the underwater monster and gave up jumping in to search. After all, Dean was seriously injured and there was blood on his body. The hope of surviving underwater was close to zero.
Moreover, although these hunters often went outside the giant wall to hunt monsters, they didn't know the structure under the ruins of the city.
Dean quietly felt that they had gone far away. His tense heart also relaxed. At this moment, he felt pain in his feet. Then countless cold and soft things wrapped around his legs and climbed all the way to his upper body.
Dean suddenly thought of the seaweed-like underwater monster. He was scared and hurriedly climbed out of the toilet.
Although the area under the toilet was very small, the surrounding ground had been soaked in water. The concrete had long been rotten. Dean pushed hard and broke a hole.
He crawled out and looked back. He saw that the tentacles of the seaweed-like monster were like green snakes. The top of the tentacles opened a sharp mouth and gnawed his body. Fortunately, he had the hunter armor to block, so he wasn't bitten too seriously.
Dean felt numb. He held the dagger and madly stabbed it.
The monster was in pain. The green snake-like tentacles bit Dean's face.
Dean hurriedly waved the dagger and cut it off.
The monster screamed in pain. The tentacles wrapped around Dean's body suddenly retracted. Its body slid into the puddle near the toilet. Blood floated on the surface of the water.
Dean was relieved when he saw that the monster was scared away. He didn't dare to stay here any longer. He carefully climbed out of the collapsed building.
"I have to deal with the wound as soon as possible." Dean felt the pain in his thighs and back. His face was ugly, but he didn't dare to stay in the vicinity for a long time. He didn't want the monster to suddenly turn back.
He took off the hunter armor and threw it into the roadside water. Then he took out a soaked gauze from the first aid kit and wrapped it around the wound. He found some vines and green leaves and crushed them. He let the plant juice mix with the bloody smell to suppress the spread of the blood.
Then he washed the blood off the hunter armor and smeared mud on it. He put it on his body. The smell of rotten mud wafted from his body.
"I have to leave here as soon as possible. Once I'm targeted by a large monster, I'll be dead." Dean was very nervous. Concealing the smell was a relatively safer method. But in front of some level hunter monsters, this kind of camouflage was useless.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Dean appeared at the border of area no. 2. From the surrounding buildings, he could vaguely see the flag of the Mellon Consortium. There was also the emblem of fuel sprayed on the ground. It symbolized that this was the territory of the Mellon Consortium.
"In front is area no. 9. From area no. 6, I can go to area no. 9."
Dean crossed a flag, clutched his abdomen, and limped into area no. 6. In the past two days, he almost didn't dare to clean the wounds on his body. All the first aid items on his body were soaked in the water and lost their effect. Only a few bottles of hemostatic medicine had a little effect. But the wound was infected by the water and had rotted. He had to cut off the wound and bandage it.
Cutting off the festering tissue also meant that there would be a bloody smell.
In a dangerous area like area no. 2, Dean could only endure the rotting of the wound. He only hoped to return to area no. 9 as soon as possible. It was the closest safe area to him.
"I didn't expect that his purpose was to kill me and not to test me …"
Dean's heart was full of pain and sadness. He thought that his father-in-law was really merciful. Like Jenny said, he didn't despise his civilian identity. He didn't expect that he was too naive and overestimated his value.
In the eyes of the other, he may be a humble worm. How could he allow such a worm to drag down his daughter?
"This matter, Jenny shouldn't know …" Dean recalled Jenny's happy appearance before leaving. From her every move, it was obvious that she was kept in the dark. This made his heart feel a lot better.
"Before returning to the giant wall, I have to improve my strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will send consortium assassins to assassinate me. Even the magistrate won't be able to help me. At most, the consortium will lose an assassin." Dean secretly said: "As long as I am careful of his plot, even if he is a noble, he has no right to kill me. After all, the magistrate has executed nobles in the history of the magistrate. He won't dare to take such a risk!"
"When the time comes, I will promote the position of the clergyman and take Jenny away." Dean secretly calculated.
