Chestnut turned around, faint black smoke coming out of its mouth.
"Was it an illusion?"
Hunter Heilig looked at the two halves of the corpse and was a little suspicious. Perhaps the black smoke was dispersed by the powerful impact. Besides, the soul of a Hybrid Demon could not be seen. The black smoke was just a phenomenon. Even if there was no black smoke, it could not prove anything.
Compared to this, he was more curious about why Reina did not listen to his instructions.
"Why didn't you do as I said? Hybrid Demons are very strong. What if your attack did not work? "
Hunter asked.
Lena handed her spear over, saying: "I was thinking, if the enemy has the ability to learn, and is able to predict my attack from my comrade's attack, then wouldn't it be bad if he used the same move?"
"That sounds bad, but don't worry. The Distorted Demons don't have that kind of intelligence. Against known enemies, it's best to make use of their weaknesses and spend the least effort to get rid of them. That's how we hunt."
Heilig said and then handed over the hunting knife in his hand.
"There is a kind of black stone in the body of a Distorted Demon. It is in the stomach. You can pick it out with a knife. Do you want to try?"
Looking at the opponent's strange blade, Linnai frowned slightly. This wasn't a good job, it was extremely dirty. When she was traveling with Mr. Ball, almost all of the prey they hunted was handled by Mr. Ball, so she rarely did this kind of thing.
Since traveling alone, except for eating some wild fruits, almost everything else was self-sufficient.
But she knew that traveling alone had to overcome this kind of thing.
"Okay, I'll try."
Reina took the hunting knife …
There were two black stones. It was like a stomach stone, and it had a sour smell.
"Hehe, it smells bad, right? This kind of thing will make you feel uncomfortable at first, but when you use this thing to exchange for something, you won't feel this way anymore." The hunter smiled and handed Reina a towel.
But Reina smiled and stretched out her hand. Suddenly, a ball of huge water droplets appeared in the air. She washed those water droplets.
Magic? It was amazing to know magic at such a young age.
"Let's go."
"Don't we need to practice?"
Reina asked in confusion.
"No, practice is still necessary if you want to go down to the second level." The hunter picked up the bow and packed up his things.
"But before that, you need a suitable bow. Let's go to the camp and take a look. We've collected enough stones."
Hailig said as he patted the bag of black stones on his back. Then, the two of them left the place.
Camps were the outposts and supply stations of the Hunters. Camping in Caldera was a very dangerous thing to do. The threat of the Hybrid Demons was everywhere, so the Hunters had teamed up and set up camps to observe the movements of the Hybrid Demons. At the same time, they could provide shelter and supplies for the Hunters.
As the vegetation grew sparser, more and more rocks appeared. Linnai stepped on the rocks as she walked. She didn't like the feeling of touching weeds, they were prickly and itchy. Fortunately, she was wearing black boots, which protected her feet. However, she was wearing short sleeves, which exposed her arms, making it much more uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the hunter stopped. There was a stone statue in front of the two of them. There was a strange mark on it, which looked like a bird's wing. It had no body, only a leg. It was very strange.
"The camp is in front of us. Of course, there's more than one. There are ten camps on the third level, and four on the second level. If you have a map, you can know where they are. But even if you don't, there will be markings on the road. "
The hunter explained as he brought Reina to the back of the stone statue. There was an arrow on the ground behind the statue.
"Usually, the back of the arrow is the direction of the nearest camp. As long as you walk in that direction, you can find the camp or the next road sign. For example, this is the last road sign, which means that the camp is not far ahead. "
"Oh!"
Reina nodded. This was good news for her, who was not good at finding the way.
"But before that, wear this."
As he spoke, the hunter threw a fur hat to Reina. The hat arched up like a small cone.
"If you don't have horns, you might be laughed at. It's better to wear it."
The hunter said.
Lena seemed to have understood something and put it on her head.
Then they went over the hill and saw the hunter's camp.
It was a very strange building. Reina had never seen anything so strange.
It was a wooden tower, about seven or eight meters tall. The strange thing was its shape, which was like a dandelion. The top was spherical, and there were many sharpened wooden thorns. There were many black round holes on the top, which seemed to be the entrance of a cave. Reina seemed to see people looking at them from inside.
"That's the camp. Any information can be exchanged for something here. Of course, lying can be exchanged, but it's best not to do so. Let's go and see how lucky we are today. "
Then the hunter slid down the hill. Chestnut looked at Reina. She seemed to be hesitating.
She suddenly thought that if Hailig was lying, and everything was a scam, and his real purpose was to bring her here, and he was actually a cannibal, what should she do?
Reina thought for a while. Indeed, a horned ghost looked different from a human. Some people would believe it if they said they ate humans.
"Woof?"
At this moment, Chestnut barked behind her. Reina turned around and glanced at it.
Chestnut stuck out its tongue. Although she couldn't see its eyes, Reina could feel its gaze.
If that was the case, the hunter wouldn't be in a hurry to save her.
Lena reached out her hand and stroked the chestnut's fur. The chestnut moaned comfortably.
"Let's go."
Suddenly, Reina jumped. An ice skateboard appeared under her feet, and she slid down quickly. Chestnut followed suit, but it slipped and rolled down like a ball. But its fur was very magical. It suddenly fluffed up, and its body became very round. In addition, it retracted its limbs and turned into a ball of fur, overtaking Reina who was walking in front.
"Pfft! Hahaha! That works too. "
Reina was amused by this scene. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Thinking back, she hadn't laughed for more than three months.
Hunter looked at the smiling Reina and couldn't help but smile as well.
Why did he want to help her?
That was because when he first saw her, he remembered the past. That cold and melancholic expression was just like when he lost his family during the Hybrid Demon invasion.
Under that forced cold expression, there was a sad heart. She probably did such an extreme thing because she lost someone important to her.
Just like he had done in the past, he had come to this grassland alone, a young man holding a rusty axe.
Hailig covered his neck. There was a long scar there.
