Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Aylin is no longer a demon hunter apprentice who just came to this world. In the past six months, countless monsters have witnessed his growth with their blood.

So of course he has a way, and there's more than one way.

The Great Griffin can carry him across the sky, and the chasms that can block humans are often meaningless to him.

He can also wait until night falls, use "night" to hide his traces, get close to the monster's nest, and use the special skill "trace" to find the difference between the footprints left by the corpse-eating creatures.

certainly.

The most convenient method right now is to ask the owner of the land directly.

Under the confused gazes of Arthur and the young witcher, Aylin found a flat, dry stone platform.

Squat, bend your knees, close your eyes, meditate...

"Plop~"

"Plop~"

The heart slowly slowed down in a unique rhythm.

The world fell silent.

Wild words...

Based on his experience when the fire burned the forest seven days ago, Aylin was not in a hurry to touch the thick and majestic natural light, but cautiously stretched out the tentacles of his mind.

"Child, what do you want?"

The simple words and the tone are as doting as a doting mother's.

Aelin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Monster's Nest!" he whispered without hesitation.

Before he finished speaking, several sounds of flesh and blood suddenly appeared in Aylin's mind, and at the same time, Mother Nature also issued an urging voice - "Destroy the enemies of nature."

Is the monster nest a natural enemy?

An idea came to his mind.

But that's right, ghouls are not native beings, but killers who come from another world through the intersection of the celestial sphere.

What's more, corpse-eating creatures are not picky about their food. Except for humans, all life forms of flesh and blood are on their diet.

As for the monster lair, there is nothing natural about this monster in any way.

He responded softly, and Mother Nature seemed to understand and stopped urging.

The sound of flesh and blood in his mind became louder and clearer.

Aylin opened his eyes and met Arthur's gaze when he stood up from the ground.

"Don't worry," Arthur nodded slightly, "The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. We will fix it before setting off to look for the 'Earl'."

He thought Aelin was resting.

"No need..." Aylin shook his head and took a breath.

A look of disappointment flashed across Arthur's face. He thought to himself that Ailin really had no choice, and was about to propose going down the mountain.

"I've found it." Aylin said.

Arthur was stunned for a second and subconsciously asked: "What did you find?"

"count."

Aylin's words were concise and to the point.

Because he was still half asleep, half of his energy was focused on the sound coming from Mother Nature in his mind.

He tried to catch the loudest squirming sound.

"Earl? What uncle..." Arthur was stunned again, and then suddenly realized, "Earl! Have you found the earl?!"

He looked at Ai Lin, whose eyes were half closed, and had the illusion that he had been in a coma for a year just in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately not.

No matter how he thought about it, it took less than ten seconds for Aelin to go from bending down and bending his knees, closing his eyes, to standing up and admitting that he had found the "Earl" that made them unable to do anything.

Such a short period of time is not enough to even slightly relax the sore muscles.

Arthur looked blankly at the witchers around him.

Seven young demon hunters, including Ernie, Krall, and Clay, who were about the same age as Aylin, opened their mouths with expressions as shocked as his.

If it weren't for the Monster's Nest nearby, perhaps there would have been a lot of noise at this moment.

Only Vesemir nodded slightly, as if he had expected it.

But Arthur has read countless people and saw the flaws at a glance.

Vesemir's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the dark red leather gloves were wrinkled and cracked. The dark golden cat eyes were flat oval and trembling slightly. How could he have expected this.

What's more, if it had been expected, would he not have said it a few days ago?

But Vesemir's performance also showed that Aylin was not lying, and that he had really found the "Earl".

At least there was no trace of doubt in Vesemir's expression.

But……

Arthur didn't understand that as a master witcher of the Wolf School, Vesemir was also the so-called "Traveling Mentor". He should have taught Aylin all his skills. Why was even him shocked?

In addition, why can’t Vesemir have the skills that Aelin knows?

"Ahem~"

Vesemir coughed twice, interrupting Arthur's overly direct gaze.

"Aelin, where is 'Earl'?" he asked dryly.

"Follow me." Aylin let out a long breath, glanced at the people around him, and without further explanation, jumped off the stone platform and headed north.

The others looked at each other and followed closely behind.

Mother Nature, as usual, had nothing to hide from her children.

All the noises in the Monster's Nest have no secrets in front of Aylin.

And as he frequently uses the language of the wild, the connection between Mother Nature and him seems to be getting closer.

After the meditation, the voice of Mother Nature in his head lasted longer.

When he originally captured the great griffin, his cry could only last for three or four seconds after each meditation. Now, if he is willing, it can last for at least half a minute.

If he understands the language of the Monster Nest—provided they have language—then the secrets of the Monster Nest will be clear to him.

It's a pity that Aylin doesn't understand.

In his mind, the sound of the monster's nest was like a rumbling of intestines, but it was just a particularly disgusting rumbling of intestines, without any other meaning.

However, he still remembered this.

After all, not every enemy encountered in the wild is unintelligent. The real enemies are still the Wild Hunt and the wizards.

Following the direction in his mind, Arlin led Vesemir and Arthur to cross the hillsides, valleys, and pine forests. After walking for another hour, they still had not reached the goal.

The noisy squirming sound of the monster's nest could only point him in the direction.

Direction is naturally important, but in the rugged mountains and forests, it is only one factor leading to the goal.

Not only did they have to go around the direction of the corpse-eating creatures and try to walk along the leeward side to avoid early contact with the enemy, they also had to deal with the rugged and winding terrain unique to the Mahakam Mountains.

Fortunately, Arthur seemed to have the direction of the Mahakam mountains in his mind, otherwise the journey would only be more difficult.

It was almost noon, and the sun was obscured by clusters of gray clouds.

"What Vesemir said is actually correct..." Ailin pulled the gravel that was deeply stuck in the mud and sent himself up the steep slope, then reached out and pulled Arthur up, "If the guards and demon hunters really want to use their lives to buy time for us to find the 'earl'..."

"That would only waste the lives of the soldiers in vain."

Arthur, who climbed up the steep slope in a panic, was stunned: "Why?"

"Because there are more than three monster nests," Ailin squinted his eyes and identified the direction in the dense and gloomy forest that blocked the sunlight, "even more than just barons and earls..."

"What do you mean?" Arthur took two breaths and asked.

Ailin did not hide: "There are a total of seven monster nests, and the vitality and energy are divided into three levels. In Sarah's words, there should be four 'barons', two 'viscounts' and one earl..."

He paused, and looked at Arthur with his azure cat eyes: "The two monster nests you found are just barons..."

"Are you sure?" Arthur was skeptical.

It's not that he doesn't trust Ailin.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar published this novel for the first time.

Only three monster nests are outrageous enough, and the existence of monster nests other than the three is just Vesemir's speculation.

But the number can't be doubled anyway!

Besides, up to now, except for the two "barons", he hasn't seen any other monster nests.

Vesemir's face was also full of doubts, but he didn't say anything, but stared at Aylin.

Aylin didn't say anything, just pointed to the other side.

Arthur walked a few steps in doubt, and suddenly his whole body was shocked.

Holding the thick pine tree with his hand, cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

As far as his sight could see, the huge monster nest was like a blood-red meat mountain, and the mountains and plains were full of corpse-eating creatures.

"This... this..."

At this moment, except for the old duke, the largest military commander in Elland was speechless and couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Because what Aylin said was right. If he really insisted on his own way and let the demon hunters and the guards go up the mountain, there would be no corpses left.

Now think about it, the reason why they were able to evacuate intact two days ago was mainly because there were fewer people, only one more Sarah than today, and they evacuated in time.

Otherwise, the corpse-eating creatures of the seven monster nests would attack one after another, and no one could leave Mahakam alive.

Having experienced the war with corpses everywhere, the Black Death with every family in mourning, and the legendary natural disaster hunting that fell from the sky...

Arthur thought that nothing in his life would make him lose his composure.

But seven monster nests... seven...

"This is the 'Viscount'..." Aylin looked at the monster nest in the valley that looked like a bright red meat mountain, and at least five giant ghouls, several rotten demons, spike demons and ghouls surrounding it and said softly.

He knew that empty words were not enough, so he deliberately went to the place and said the number of monster nests that were thriving in his mind.

"Besides here, there is also a 'Viscount' and a 'Count'?" Vesemir's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to be squeezed out.

"The other 'Viscount' is on the other side of the valley, just upwind from the two barons just now," Arryn nodded slightly and pointed to the north side of the scarlet meat mountain, "As for the 'Count', there is still a long way to go."

"Impossible!" Vesemir exclaimed, "How could there be so many monster nests here, and they have developed to this extent?"

"But there are indeed so many here." Arryn pursed his lips helplessly and helped Clay pull Ajax up, "and there is a bigger one on the other side."

Vesemir was speechless for a moment, and turned his head to look at Arthur, who was pale.

Although he didn't speak, his face was full of "What kind of Feng Shui treasure land is your Elland?"

"Is the old tomb of five or six thousand people completely empty?" Arryn asked.

Before he cast the Wild Language, he saw the two "Baron"-level monster nests and thought it had just been formed not long ago.

But looking at the scale, Ailin was a little skeptical about an old tomb of five or six thousand people. Not to mention four or five years ago, even if four or five thousand people died recently, it would not be enough.

"It's not a question of whether it's an old tomb or not..."

Before Arthur spoke, Vesemir spoke.

His brows were twisted into a cloud of worry, as if he was thinking:

"I have never heard of it... Maybe there may be some during the time of the Witcher Cult... But since I became a Witcher, I have never heard of more than three monster nests appearing in any place, never..."

"You mean it's abnormal to have so many monster nests..." Aylin realized there was something wrong with his statement and corrected him, "I mean it's beyond common sense..."

Vesemir nodded vigorously, but did not explain. Instead, he looked at Arthur and asked solemnly:

"Arthur!"

"Um?"

"Apart from the ghouls who stole corpses, didn't you notice any other abnormalities? Including before May Day..."

Arthur came back to his senses and took a deep breath. He knew what Vesemir wanted to ask, and said: "No, there are only ghouls who steal corpses secretly. They were discovered while digging graves and killed several people. Please be vigilant in the future." After getting up, there weren’t many casualties.”

"As for before May Day..."

"Before May Day, because of the demon-hunting army, the villages around Elland, in fact, for a long time..." Arthur frowned, "At least for half a year, I haven't heard of any villages being attacked by corpse-eating creatures... "

"etc!"

Arthur suddenly shook his head and interrupted himself.

He looked at Aylin: "Do you remember Jeska from the morning... She was the old woman who brought you soup bread..."

Aylin was stunned for a moment, wondering why he mentioned the old man: "Are you talking about the mother of the captain of the demon hunting army?"

"The captain of the demon-hunting army is called Derek," Arthur nodded. "He, Sarah, and I were all comrades in arms during the Falgar Rebellion five years ago, so I am very familiar with him."

"Every year during the holidays on Candlemas (February 2) and the Spring Equinox (March 21), he would go hunting in the mountains."

"Actually, the place where the demon-hunting army and the guard knights are stationed under the mountain is the hunter's cabin used for the hunting farm in Morn Village."

"If the Monster's Nest was here at that time, there's no way he wouldn't have noticed it."

Vesemir and Aelin looked at each other.

"It's July 3rd now, that is, at least three months ago, the Monster Nest has not appeared yet..." Vesemir scratched his head in disbelief, "Three months...seven monster nests..."

"How...this...is possible?"

Vesemir asked again: "Apart from May Day, there were no other accidents?"

"Accident? What kind?"

"For example..." Vesemil paused and glanced at Aylin without leaving any trace, "For example, the celestial sphere convergence when Ben Ad appeared in March this year."

"No." Arthur said firmly.

"That...that shouldn't be..." Vesemir muttered.

The celestial spheres converged... Aelin pursed his lips when he heard Vesemir's words.

Although Arthur said that Elland had not experienced a celestial sphere conjunction, in fact, a celestial sphere conjunction occurred just outside the gates of Ireland on May Day.

It was just that the sky was too dark, the movement caused by the wild hunting was too great, and the wave of demon spirits attracted all the attention.

But could what happened outside the city of Elland be related to the monster's nest here?

"After the celestial sphere converged, abnormal monsters... this scene seemed... seemed a bit familiar..."

Aylin looked thoughtfully at the corpse-eating creatures all over the mountains and plains.
