Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 22 22. Learning surgery

The water ghost is the monster Lan En has seen the most since he came to this world.

Because their distribution is so wide.

They have slippery mucus like frogs, skin with blue or black scales, webbed hands and toes, and fins on their backs and elbows.

When Lan En saw them for the first time following Bordon, he couldn't help but think of a legendary food in his home world——

Pickled shark meat.

It is said that the stuff smells like ammonia.

The five water ghosts stepped on the mud and rushed towards Lan En, their fish eyes filled with greed for fresh flesh and blood.

The leading one has strong muscles under the blue scales on its hind limbs.

It relied on this power to fly up when it was still two meters away from Lan En, and its two claws began to tear at the same time.

The claws of water ghosts are not their strong point, but with a flying thrust, it is not very difficult to break a person's neck.

In the face of this offensive, the young man just pursed his lips and smiled.

I haven't seen such an honest attack for a long time.

Breaking away from the group, rushing over, swooping, and scratching. Do the water ghosts here have such a relaxed living environment?

Like a long-running dance partner, Lan En almost jumped in sync with the lead water ghost's leap.

From the perspective of Bernie from behind, it seemed like there was a "tacit understanding" between them!

Of course, the distance of the backward jump was not comparable to that of the flying swoop, but it was enough for Lan En to place his face and neck away from the water ghost's claws.

Then, the silver sword that was hanging naturally in the young man's hand raised its tip.

That position is exactly where the water ghost flies towards the throat!

"Puff!" There was a sound like a water bag being drained, and the sharp sword tip with dirty blood and minced meat came out from behind the water ghost's neck.

"Wow-" The water ghost let out a scream that stopped abruptly.

"Um?"

Lan En was slightly surprised. This was the first time he killed a monster with a silver sword.

Compared with the feeling of using a steel sword to cut cooked leather, the silver sword's ability to restrain monsters is a little beyond imagination.

"I originally only wanted to cut off the major arteries in the neck, but I actually cut through the connection between the cervical vertebrae?"

His sword is very stable and accurate. But that's why I'm surprised by this "miss".

The four others from behind also followed up at this time, and Lan En immediately stopped worrying.

With a "stab" sound, the sword blade that pierced the water ghost's neck was slashed horizontally, and half of the monster's neck was directly stabbed open.

The blood splattered backwards under control covered the heads and faces of the water ghosts.

They have no eyelids, and the dirty blood directly covers the eyeballs, blocking their vision.

When fighting against monsters that temporarily had no vision or other sensory abilities, Lan En was very open-minded.

Following the demon hunter's sword skills, he began to rotate his body, his body's center of gravity switching between spinning and horizontal jumping.

The "thrown up" blade relies on centrifugal force, and the tail end of the blade can easily cut off the bones of the water ghost.

In just a few breaths, there were many more scaly limbs on the ground.

The arms, legs, and even half of the body were directly chopped off from the left shoulder to the right rib.

The cuts are smooth and clean.

The roaring sounds gradually weakened. Even if it is as tenacious as a monster, it is impossible to still have the strength to roar in the current situation.

The Quen seal that Lan En originally arranged out of caution was never activated by an outside attack from the beginning to the end.

Instead, it dimmed and disappeared after the battle was over because the magic power was exhausted.

A demon hunter from the Bear School couldn't even break Quen after the battle. This only shows that the gap between the two sides in the battle is too big.

In fact, if five water ghosts swarmed up, Lan En would still find it troublesome. It is estimated that not only Kun En's seal would be broken, but also the cotton armor robe would have several holes.

The first one, the water ghost who was out of the group, really sold him a big flaw.

Lan En took out a coarse cloth from his arms, briefly wiped the remaining blood and grease on the sword blade, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

If you want to maintain the blade, you need to oil it, but the work is not finished today, so a simple wipe is enough.

Bernie, who had been standing on the hill, came down to join Lan En.

But halfway through, his expression slowly changed from shock to confusion, and then shock again.

The first shock came from watching the witcher fight the monster for the first time.

He had never seen anyone face a monster with such ease.

But the subsequent emotional changes are because

After the group of water ghosts were chopped into pieces, Lan En did not leave immediately.

Instead, he took out the hunting knife on his waist and gathered the main body of the water ghost's stumps together.

Then cut.

His approach was obviously unfamiliar even from the perspective of an outsider like Bernie.

The knife was scratching back and forth on the water ghost's body, and the young man was stumbling to lift the skin, muscles, and bones.

Layer by layer, the body of the water ghost is "liberated" to the outside world.

Bernie is a fisherman and part-time hunter.

He could understand the act of collecting trophies from the prey after a hunt.

But Lan En's serious look now, and the movements of his hands, Bernie really didn't think it was just stripping materials.

It's more like he is looking for and recording something?

Bernie looked at it for a while, then couldn't help but tilted his head.

We have seen many scenes of him stabbing Hula with blood, but they are all beasts. Although the water ghost is a monster, it actually has a humanoid skeleton after peeling off the skin.

Lan En's eyes were extremely focused at this time. Compared with the battle just now, it seemed that this was the time he paid the most attention to.

He didn't even look up, but he seemed to already know Bernie's reaction.

"There are a lot of valuable materials on the monster, but as you can see, I am also a novice, otherwise I would not come to your place to do such unpaid work. Please be more patient, brother."

Lan En gave a little explanation for his behavior. Although they had not known each other for a long time, he did not think that Bernie was a person who liked to get to the bottom of things.

Sure enough, the hunter wearing long leather gloves just nodded with a pale face when he heard this, and walked away temporarily with his bow on his back.

As for the young man's two hands, one was currently holding a hunting knife and was still exploring inside the body of a water ghost.

The other hand gently probed the chest cavity of the humanoid skeleton, familiar with the feel of the organs and blood vessels.

"New analysis project - [Biological Structure - Water Ghost]

In the process of information integration and analysis, the current progress is - 1%. "

Mentos' intelligent voice first reports the situation in a prescribed format.

Then he began to express his subjective opinions.

"Sir, I can understand your persistence in gene seed implantation, but I hope you can think carefully again. I still don't think it is a wise move to perform surgery on yourself. Especially when your authority is not enough to open biological intelligence. When the brain [body controls] functions.”

The smelly monster blood was splattering, but Lan En's expression remained calm.

"When I have university knowledge recognized by the People's Federation, my long life as a demon hunter will probably come to an end. Mentos, I know what I am doing."

".hope so."
