* Bam! *
Caught off guard, Hasse was hit in the face by Hao Ren's superalloy brick. The sound was like two pieces of metal colliding. In fact, the veteran hunter had already reacted before the brick hit him. His eyes widened in surprise, and all the muscles in his upper body flexed in an attempt to dodge the close-range attack. His reflexes were fast enough, but Hao Ren was not slow either. Hao Ren had blocked all the blind spots. Hao Ren had learned how to use the brick from a master, and that was when he had nothing better to do when he had nothing better to do. Lily was a master of using bricks, and Hao Ren had trained with Lily for more than two years. It was an understatement to say that his skill with bricks was superb.
Therefore, Hasse was hit squarely by the brick at such a close distance, and the world immediately spun around him.
However, he swayed twice in the severe dizziness, and he did not fall. Not only did he not fall, but he also tried to stabilize himself and reached for the sacred silver dagger at his waist.
Hao Ren almost jumped to his feet and cursed. How did he not pass out? Is the brain of a demon hunter made of battleship alloy?
Hasse took half a step back. His years of combat instinct had allowed him to get into a fighting stance even when he was unconscious. At the same time, he was shocked and angry. He stared at Hao Ren and squeezed out a word. "You —"
Hao Ren immediately thought of Plan B and pointed at Hasse. A dark spatial rift appeared under the old demon hunter's feet. "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Before Hasse's voice trailed off, he felt the space around him distorting. He immediately tried to activate the demon hunter's teleportation ability to leave this place, but the space-time interference effect of the Dimensional Pocket canceled out his efforts. The next moment, the veteran demon hunter fell straight into Hao Ren's Dimensional Pocket.
After that, Hao Ren quickly looked around to make sure that the short commotion did not attract the attention of the hunters on night duty. Then, he strode out of the cemetery as fast as he could into the deep night.
After running for half an hour and making sure that the demon hunters did not catch up with him, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he did not want to have a conflict with the demon hunters. After confirming that there was a Malevolence sleeping here, he had to preserve all the forces that could be used to fight against the Malevolence, including the demon hunters. Hao Ren did not intend to throw Hasse into the dimensional pocket. It was not a comfortable experience to stay in that place when he was awake. It would be better if he had prepared an enclosed living environment in advance. Otherwise, there was only a boundless chaotic space and absolute silence that could drive people crazy. Ordinary people who went in would soon develop serious psychological problems. Hao Ren had used the Dimensional Pocket to keep Lil Pea and the little bat. But Lil Pea had a big, beautiful fish tank to play in, and the little bat had been sleeping all the time.
The unlucky old demon hunter was thrown into the Dimensional Pocket while he was sober.
Hao Ren sighed. He hoped that Hasse's strong mind would still work in the chaotic nothingness and not leave a long-term psychological scar.
Why did the demon hunters have such a hard skull?
With such a sigh in mind, Hao Ren began to run through the night in the wilderness of the Middle Ages.
At the end of the Middle Ages in Europe, although the Dark Ages were coming to an end, the wild darkness still shrouded the land for a long time. As long as the flames of the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance did not spread across the countries, the shadow of supernatural forces would not fade from the land. Outside of the cities and villages, there was a wilderness ruled by a terrifying and unknown force. Within the wilderness, the development was extremely low. Human farms and pastures were often not too far away from the settlements. Outside of the limited lights, it was a complete wilderness. And in the wilderness, for various reasons, abandoned human buildings could be seen everywhere.
Abandoned castles, dilapidated windmills, gloomy military barracks and outposts, as well as completely unrecognizable ruins and rubble, were not uncommon in the wilderness. They were basically the legacies left behind by the feudal lords of ancient times. After being abandoned for various reasons, it was very difficult for humans to rebuild these territories.
This was because the wilderness under the curtain of night was filled with indescribable and terrifying forces. Once the human lights were extinguished, these supernatural forces would quickly take advantage of the gap and fill in the gap.
In the dark Middle Ages, there was no lack of legends such as haunted mills, cursed villages, and vampire castles.
Hao Ren felt that the atmosphere of the place in front of him was very similar to those legends.
Following the guidance of the secret marks along the way, he came to a ruin far away from human habitation. It was located at the foot of a small hill, and a small river flowed down the hillside. A few dilapidated houses that were on the verge of collapse and a half-collapsed hydraulic mill were scattered on both sides of the river. More building wreckage could be seen in the distance, and on the top of the hill, he could vaguely see an even larger ruin standing in the background of the night sky.
The entire ruin was haunted by a strange atmosphere, cold and eerie. Even the wind seemed to carry a faint wail of the dead. Hao Ren was 100% sure that this place was not naturally deserted.
Its desertion may have something to do with the activities of the unusual creatures, and the strange atmosphere that lingered until now was mostly related to the awakening negative forces in this land that the demon hunters had mentioned.
Vivian must be sleeping nearby, and her Malevolence had begun to infiltrate the real world.
Hao Ren looked around and saw a small tuft of imperceptible silver-white hair on the wall of an abandoned wooden house. Hao Ren was sure that this was the last resting place of the witches. He took two steps forward and said loudly, "Come out, I'm not being followed."
A silver-white figure scurried up to the roof of the wooden house and said to Hao Ren with her arms akimbo, "Secret code, secret code! You must say the secret code when you meet up! "
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows and glanced at the husky maiden. "You are not stable there."
"Huh?" Lily was stunned for a moment. Then the wooden board under her feet cracked and collapsed. "Whoa!"
The witches came out of hiding, including Hessiana. The last one to arrive was Lily. The husky maiden had sawdust and mud on her head. When she saw Hao Ren, she muttered, "This would not have happened if I was in my prime. I still have a sense of balance."
"I didn't expect you to come back alive." Hessiana looked at Hao Ren as if she was looking at an alien. "You escaped under the nose of the demon hunters? Who the hell are you? "
"I didn't just escape unscathed." Hao Ren smiled and waved at Lily. "Come here and help me."
The husky maiden's eyes widened innocently. "What?"
Hao Ren handed the alloy brick to Lily. "I will release a person from the Dimensional Pocket. Knock him out immediately. Just knock him out, but don't kill him. The rest of you, back off. Don't get scared. "
Hessiana seemed to have guessed something. A horrified expression appeared on her face. "You … you didn't catch a demon hunter, did you?"
Hao Ren smiled and then nodded to Lily. He carefully opened his Dimensional Pocket.
Under Hao Ren's precise control, Hasse did not come out of the Dimensional Pocket directly. Instead, only the part above his shoulders floated in the air. He had been running around in the void, trying to find an exit. When he saw the outside world again, he was stunned. Then he saw Hao Ren's face, which looked particularly annoying at the moment.
"You —"
"Hey!"
Whoosh! Bang!
With a gust of wind, Lily smashed the brick on Hasse's head with all her might. This time, the old hunter passed out as expected.
The husky maiden only saw who she had hit after he passed out. She screamed in surprise. "Ah! Hasse? "
"The version six hundred years ago. It doesn't know us." Hao Ren deliberately spoke in Holletta language, motioning Lily not to yell. At the same time, he sincerely admired the husky's stupidity. Even with this' puppy body 'that was said to be weak in all aspects, the husky's strength was still stronger than his!
"Finally, he's under control. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." After confirming that Hasse had passed out, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He then dared to release the old demon hunter from the Dimensional Pocket. At the same time, he took out a set of powerful restraints used to deal with dangerous humanoid captives and put them on Hasse's neck, wrists, and ankles. "Lily, carry him on your back. I'm not fully prepared. I'm afraid that something might go wrong if I put him in the Dimensional Pocket."
"Oh — what if he wakes up?"
"You beat him up again."
Lily was not stupid. When she saw Hao Ren 'tying' Hasse up, she had already guessed what he was planning. She happily agreed. "Okay! Leave it to me! "
It was only then that the witches dared to come closer.
Because of their special bloodline, the witches did not have any innate hostility toward the demon hunters. But the experience of being hunted by the demon hunters had planted a psychological shadow in their hearts that was no less than facing a natural enemy. Even Madam Marie almost screamed when she saw the demon hunter being thrown out. It was not until Lily and Hao Ren easily removed the threat of the demon hunter that the witches gathered the courage to gather. The witches pointed at Hasse, who was on Lily's back. Witch Helen frowned and asked, "Why didn't you kill him?"
"He's useful," Hao Ren said casually. "This is the domain of ancient magic. You won't understand even if I explain it to you."
Hessiana also said, "It's your right to dispose of the captive. But I have to remind you that the demon hunters are very dangerous. Keeping one alive is the biggest threat."
There was a rare serious look on Little Bat's face.
Facing Hessiana, Hao Ren did not want to beat around the bush. He cleared his throat and made himself look serious. "Don't worry, I have a plan. This demon hunter will play a very important role. As you have seen, Lily and I can easily control the situation. He will not be a threat."
Hao Ren felt guilty when he said that. If it were not for the fact that he and Lily had been playing a trick on Hasse, it would not have been so easy for them to control the elder demon hunter.
Hessiana glanced at the shackles on Hasse. "I hope your shackles are strong."
"Of course," Hao Ren nodded with a smile. "Let's put the demon hunter aside. The important thing is … Wait, why do I feel someone is missing?"
