"Demon hunters?"
Chung Shen-soo walked a few steps closer and looked at the group of wanderers curiously. He saw that the leader was a woman in her forties. Her face was covered in dust, but there were weird cross-shaped marks in her eyes.
Some of the demon hunters behind her had scales and sarcomas on their faces or hands, while others had obvious physical deformities.
In short, he could tell with a single glance that he was different from ordinary people.
"Demon hunters contain the organs of monsters. When they're emotional, they're prone to mutations. They're unstable bombs. Vagrant demon hunters are even more so because of the pressure to survive …"
It was unknown when Zola had stopped beside Zhong Shenxiu. She sighed and said, "Therefore, our Sky City only occasionally takes in some normal people to improve their bloodline. Other than that, we only train a small number of our own demon hunters. We do not accept foreign demon hunters … You are very lucky that you are a normal person."
"We … we have great power!"
A demon hunter with obviously deformed legs stood up behind the woman with cross-shaped pupils. "I can hunt monsters alone."
"But … you can't jump as high as me, and you can't fight as well."
Rachel sneered. Suddenly, a strong gust of air shot out from her leather boots, which made her jump more than ten meters high.
She pulled out a delicate revolver from her waist and aimed it at the lake.
Splash!
A strange fish that had been hiding in the lake suddenly jumped out of the water, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. It was about to bite Rachel.
Bang!
Rachel pulled the trigger. Sparks flew from the strange fish's body, and it fell straight down.
Halfway to the lake, Rachel's sharp claws flew out from her wrist and pulled her to the lakeside.
"Hehe … I'm going to eat grilled fish tonight. I've been thinking about the fish here for a long time."
Rachel said with a smile.
Meat was precious. Many monsters in the wilderness couldn't be eaten because they were heavily polluted. Only certain monster parts could be cooked and turned into food.
This lake was an important resource supply point that the scavenger team had marked.
At least the pollution here was low. After the strange fish were processed, they could all be eaten!
"See that? A little girl here can kill you."
The man who spoke earlier waved his hand as if he was chasing away a puppy. "Hurry up and leave!"
The man with the deformed leg wanted to say something, but the leader stopped him.
"Xavier, enough!"
Zola stopped Xavier and stepped forward. "I'm the captain of the scavenger team, Zola. I'm sorry we can't accept you, but we can trade with you. We have medicine here …"
She was clearly aware of the needs of the people in the wilderness. Upon hearing that there was medicine, many of the demon hunters became excited and even dangerous.
However, when he saw the tall and majestic fortress war chariots and the excellent equipment on most of the scavengers, his gaze turned gloomy.
"Can you save little Robben?"
A male Demon Hunter walked out with a child in his arms.
The little boy's face had a large number of blisters, looking like sarcomas that were constantly piling up. It was a very disgusting and terrifying sight.
The Demon Hunter carefully placed Young Robben on the ground and smiled bitterly. "His attempt to swallow the organs of the Tumour Worm has failed, and we don't have any medicine … Every time we risk our lives to go to Black Fog City, we can only try our luck to find a little …"
The wanderers in the wilderness did not have a stable place to live, nor did they have technology. They could only search for medicine in the abandoned cities, and their numbers were decreasing.
However, Sky City could already produce its own medicine and blood serum. This was a huge difference.
Chung Shen-soo curiously went up to them and heard Rachel's angry voice. "He's not even ten years old, and you let him go through the ritual. Are you trying to kill him?"
"No …" The Demon Hunter's voice suddenly became a little sorrowful. "There's no ritual … It's forcefully accommodating …"
Rachel was like a duck being strangled. She could not say anything.
Chung Shen-soo could only stare at Zola with a confused look.
"The advancement of a demon hunter requires all kinds of methods to swallow and accommodate the organs of monsters. This usually starts from the lower servant level … In the Original Opus, there are also some special methods recorded. For different monsters and different organs, using different methods can effectively reduce the rejection reaction and increase the success rate … It's a pity that it's scattered. Many demon hunters can't strictly follow the standard procedures. They can only forcefully accommodate or use the wrong steps of another race. They use all kinds of cruel methods to try and make mistakes, forming a stable experience … They call this' trial '!"
Zola sighed and explained.
"This is not a trial, it's murder!" Rachel finally shouted what she wanted to say.
"He's my child. If I don't go through the trial, he might not survive this winter …" The Demon Hunter, who looked very old but was actually still young, answered with pain.
"This is fate …" Zavier said in a mocking tone.
"If you didn't go through the trial for him, we might have accepted him. But now, even if we save him, he's already … a monster."
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, he was sent flying by a punch.
It was another Demon Hunter. His whole body was covered in a cloak, and one could only vaguely see the countless bandages wrapped around him.
"You f * cking hit me? Attack! Someone is attacking us! "
Zavier's face turned red and he suddenly pulled out his dagger.
The atmosphere in the camp became very tense.
"Stop!"
The middle-aged woman with the cross-shaped pupils hurriedly stopped him.
Another voice came from behind them. "What happened?"
"Chief Commander Mond!"
Zola bowed slightly and told him what had happened.
"Zavier, go back."
Mond's oppressive gaze immediately stared at Zavier. "If there's a next time, I'll put you in confinement."
He then looked at the middle-aged woman. "There won't be a next time, or else my cannon will destroy you all!"
"Thank you for your tolerance and mercy."
The middle-aged female Demon Hunter bowed.
"What are you waiting for? Get to work! Collect the fish! "
Chung Shen-soo originally wanted to continue watching, but Zola pushed him to collect the strange fish that had been caught.
When he returned to the camp, he saw that the transaction had already come to an end. From among the Demon Hunters, a few clearly normal children walked out. After being examined, they joined the caravan.
"They're lucky to have met us … Who knows how many years it will be before they meet this team again …"
Rachel looked at the crying children who were separated from their parents and suddenly sighed. "Zavier was right about one thing. If Robben's father knew that he would meet us, he definitely wouldn't have held the trial for Robben …"
