After passing through the back door of the clock tower, Fangzheng and Big-chinned Man arrived at a dilapidated fishing village under Maria's lead. The place seemed to have been abandoned long ago. The walls of the houses around were densely covered with barnacles. A strong fishy smell assaulted their nostrils, making them nauseous.
Murlocs with fish upper bodies and human limbs wandered among the ruins. They held weapons in their hands and tried to kill all intruders from the outside.
But it was a pity that it was of no use.
Back then, these murlocs couldn't resist the attacks of the hunters. Now that they were facing the joint attack of Maria and Fangzheng, they naturally couldn't resist at all.
"I feel like I'm a salted fish now."
Watching Fangzheng and Maria brandishing their weapons as if they were cutting melons and vegetables, Big-chinned Man who was following behind the two of them entered a state of idleness. He muttered to himself as he followed behind the two of them.
"Look, it's not that we don't want to fight, it's just that these two are too strong. There's no way we can beat them. Both of them have a large attack range. Look at that murloc wizard over there. He's about to cast a curse! What we have to do now is to dodge the curse, then touch his mouth with a burner, then quickly dodge …. "
Whoosh!!
But before Big-chinned Man could finish his words, Maria raised the weapon in her hand and pointed it forward. A streak of blood flew past and directly pierced through the murloc guard and the murloc wizard in front of the murloc wizard.
"… Well, this operation has no reference value for us. Pay attention to that big murloc over there. The anchor in his hand is very threatening, just like this …."
Following Big-chinned Man's words, a huge murloc on the other side roared and jumped out with the anchor in his hand. He smashed the anchor in his hand towards Fangzheng. But at the same time, Fangzheng's sword in his right hand burst out with a leap and flames, instantly burning the murloc into charcoal.
"… That's why we don't see any reference value at all …."
"What's wrong with him?"
Maria looked at Fangzheng curiously and asked when she heard the man with the big chin behind her. Fangzheng, on the other hand, glanced at the big chin behind him and shrugged.
"Don't worry about it. He's just like that. It's probably because his brain isn't working well."
"Another hunter who's been plagued by a curse and gone mad."
Maria looked at the chattering big-jawed man behind them with pity in her eyes.
"Look at his face. This is the fate of a hunter who has been immersed in the blood of the Ancient Gods for a long time. Fortunately, he seems to remember his duty.... I also hope he can be freed from this nightmare."
"I think he's quite happy like this."
Fangzheng turned his head and saw the big-chinned murloc staring at a spear-wielding murloc monster with widened eyes. He shrugged. Big-chinned Man slashed the Fishman twice with his sword, then quickly rolled away. Perhaps he had misjudged the timing of the murloc's attack, but the murloc's face was almost punctured by his anus. Big-chinned Man was so scared that he screamed and crawled to avoid the murloc's attack, then fell into the dry well beside him with a plop.
The murloc was also stunned by this strange situation. It immediately changed its target and pounced on Fangzheng, but Fangzheng burned it into charcoal.
At that moment, Big-chinned Man poked his head out of the dry well again and waved his hand awkwardly at the two.
"As a hunter, he's still not qualified."
Looking at this scene, Maria couldn't help but chuckle.
"But maybe that's why he hasn't been completely eroded by the nightmare.... A hunter's duty is a kind of restraint, and also a kind of curse. To tell you the truth, seeing him reminds me of the past. Back then, there were many rookies who joined the profession with all kinds of ideas. Many of them made mistakes on the battlefield, but.... it's never been this.... joyful. "
Maria was at a loss for words as she watched the Hunter waving his weapon and shouting, "This isn't my true strength. I'll show you what I'm capable of!" before he went to fight another Murloc. Maria didn't know what to say.
She had to admit that what Fangzheng said made sense. This hunter was probably out of his mind.
But that wasn't strange. After all, most hunters would gradually become crazy, but generally speaking, they would only become more aggressive, not like now....
"Let's move on."
Maria retracted her gaze and sighed softly. She led Fangzheng forward. After killing the murloc, the big chin also hurried to catch up.
Under Maria's lead, they arrived at a cave in the depths of the fishing village. The fishy smell here was abnormally strong. Not only that, but they could also see close to a hundred people kneeling on the ground on both sides of the tunnel. They lowered their heads and raised their hands as though they were praying or begging for mercy.
Strictly speaking, these people were not humans.
Their faces had taken on the shape of a fish, and their chins were full of octopus-like tentacles. Their lower bodies had completely turned into the shape of mermaids. Of course, with their livid skin and skinny arms, this was not "cute" at all.
Maria led Fangzheng through the passageway and came to a shore. In the distance, they could even see sunken ships. And in the sky, there was a sun that looked like an eye emitting a dim glow.
But the most eye-catching thing was the corpse of an unknown creature on the beach.
From a distance, it looked like the corpse of a large jellyfish or octopus. Because there were no bones supporting it, the corpse was lying on the coast like a piece of ragged cloth.
"That's Coase."
Maria looked at the corpse with a sorrowful expression.
"To be honest, we don't know much about it, but.... its curse has become almost all of our nightmares."
"Gurgle...."
At that moment, as Maria spoke, Fangzheng saw a part of the jellyfish skin suddenly swell up. Following that, something slowly crawled out from within. It looked like a skinny human with a pair of fins on its arms. Not only that, it was also carrying something that looked like a placenta upside down in its hand.
The monster stood on the shore, gazing at the sun in the distance.
"That's Coase's unborn child...."
Maria couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the undead in front of her.
"To be honest, I'm not even sure what we've done...."
But before Maria could finish, Fangzheng pressed down on her shoulder and interrupted her. Maria raised her head in surprise and looked at Fangzheng, only to find that Fangzheng had a strange expression on his face.
"Ms. Maria, you said you've been troubled. Are you doing the right thing?"
"This … this … is …"
"Then I can tell you now. Perhaps the motive of the Church of Healing isn't very good, but everything you've done has resulted in the protection of this world. There's nothing shameful about what you've done, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. You don't have to regret it, because the things you've killed are destined to be destroyed. I swear in the name of the Undead Squad that there's no fault or sin in what you've done. "
"Huh?"
Maria was taken aback when she heard Fangzheng's answer. She opened her mouth to ask something, but she found that Fangzheng was already walking towards the orphan Coase on the beach with his sword in hand. At the same time, his black greatsword once again burned with raging flames.
