I Am God!

There are more and more people here, and the houses are getting denser and denser. The houses are arranged together, forming a circle around the huge hole.

A large animal fence was built next to the canyon. When the shepherds were grazing, they could see groups of velvet dragons running out along the canyon. The granary with a circular spire was under construction, and carpenters were going up and down on the ladder. It is prepared to store food for backup.

A large area of ​​the forest outside has been cut down, and besides the farmland, plants that mount animals and poultry like to eat have been planted. If you go further outside, you will gradually enter the vine-like weird range of influence, but for now, there is still It's good enough.

The food crisis has also been resolved, and the caravan is responsible for solving the daily necessities, and the two sealed objects, the cowardly lamp and the jeweled snail car, maintain the connection between the passage and the outside world.

Helfas sat on the ground, with his hands folded on his knees, looking at this place that had never been created.

It is impossible to say that there is no pride in my heart.

"The place to eat, live and live has been preliminarily resolved, and it's time to consider another aspect."

Helfas's idea now is to gather everyone's strength to fight against or even seal the dangerous existences that they are about to face directly, not to mention the unknown horrors and weirdness outside, just those big monsters on the way in and out of the Full Moon Forest Big and small weirdness, like a sharp sword hanging above their heads.

Even if there is a coward's lamp to warn and evade, there will often be hunters and incoming and outgoing teams disappearing on the way, some of them can still know how they disappeared, and some just disappeared out of thin air, and no one knows where they went.

Not to mention that just dozens of kilometers away from the canyon, the terrifying vines that are squatting in the jungle and the ground are so weird that even Helfas dared not get close to take a look.

Helfas stood up and walked towards the training ground of the hunter team.

Recently, he would come here whenever he was free, even several times a day.

because.

Recently they are preparing to start with a new weirdness.

It was a very dangerous weirdness entrenched on the entrance and exit roads of the Full Moon Forest. Many people had already disappeared near it when they passed by that section of the path.

Helfas and the hunter team spent several months and a huge price to collect information about the other party, to determine the degree of danger and the specific scope of activities of the other party. At present, the characteristics and abilities of the other party have finally been satisfactorily recorded bit by bit.

He decided to set off in a few days to seal this dangerous weirdness.

As soon as I walked into the training ground, I saw a group of young men wrestling and fighting. They used their hands, legs, and tails. Sometimes the dragon man's tail was more flexible and dangerous than his hands and feet.

They will also attack each other with wooden sticks, and the atmosphere looks hot.

Helfas walked into the hut on the side, looked forward through the back door, and could see a wooden board with a map engraved on the wall.

A few people who had just joined the hunter team were listening to a strong middle-aged man whistle, learning how to put his fingers into his mouth and how to whistle loudly.

Some people blow their saliva, looking a little funny.

The training ground is very busy. In addition to the training of physical fitness and combat skills, what is more important is the memory of the whistle, the terrain of the Full Moon Forest, various dangerous areas and strange sightings.

The middle-aged strong man blew his whistle, which was loud and piercing.

"Beep!"

"The voice is fast and broken, this means safety..."

"Beep... this means danger... the longer it lasts, the more urgent it will be."

"Let me ask, what should I do when I hear this voice?"

At this time, the middle-aged strong man asked a question to the people below.

Immediately someone below replied: "Go to rescue people immediately."

The middle-aged man above rushed down and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Who else do you want to save with your small body? It's fine if others don't come to save you. Run away after hearing this sound."

Immediately there was a roar of laughter in the room.

"besides……"

After learning how to whistle and memorizing the meaning of the whistle, it is time to record the relatively mature route in and out of the Full Moon Forest.

When the middle-aged man in front of the room was talking about this, he suddenly noticed Helfas behind him. He wanted to stop and say something, but Helfas raised his hand to signal him to continue.

While Helfas was looking at the newcomers in the room, there was also a line of sight looking at him from outside.

A child was lying on the outside of the wooden fence, looking in through the gap, observing how the hunter team trained, and also observing the various facilities in the training ground.

Watching the vigorous wrestling and clubs, throwing guns, bow and arrow training, and watching all kinds of strange facilities.

The child made a sound of surprise.

"Wow!"

Finally, the child's eyes suddenly caught sight of the man standing behind the room.

The moment he stared at the other party, the child saw that the black-haired man turned his head sharply and looked at him. Even though he was hiding behind the wooden fence, the other party's dark pupils still vaguely saw through the narrow gap. He does.

"ah!"

The child was propped up on the wood with his hands, but he was frightened and took several steps back.

With a tense expression on his face, he turned around and ran away, disappearing without a trace.

Helfas didn't care when he saw that it was a child.

For children in the tribe, the training ground is indeed a very mysterious place, and there are often children peeping outside, but the hunters in the training ground sometimes train dangerous weapons such as bows and spears, so they will drive them away.

But children are like this, the more you don't let them see, the more dangerous you tell them.

The more they want to get closer to danger.

After everything was over, Helfas walked into the house and talked with the middle-aged man.

The opponent is the captain of the hunter team, and one of the first few people who came here.

He asked: "Are you ready, it's going to be action in a few days."

"The caravan will almost be back by then, and the merchant officer will bring her sealed item to participate in this seal."

The middle-aged strong man nodded: "It's ready, don't worry!"

"However, Lord Helfas, there have been some problems recently on the way in and out of the Full Moon Forest."

The middle-aged strong man turned to face the map board, pointed to a place near the big hole and said.

"The original road can't be walked, because sometimes the weird roots of the giant vines will sweep over here, which is very dangerous."

Helfas asked, "Is something wrong, has it grown in power, or has it moved?"

The middle-aged strong man said: "It's not clear yet."

Helfas stepped forward and pointed to a place in the Full Moon Forest.

"Let's go here in the future. I walked here before, and it is very safe."

"Even on a full moon night, the opponent's power still hasn't been completely covered."

"It's just that the tunnel road is not easy to walk, and it's still dark."

There are caves and tunnels.

When Helfas and the young dragonman from the Orb tribe arrived here for the first time, they stayed in this cave and the other party told him that he could walk through it directly.

——

The child ran back to the place where he lived, closed the door nervously, and hid on the bed panting.

This is obviously a bunk bed connected together, and the bed is not big, it seems that the people living here should be some children.

But at the moment, he was alone in the room.

He was a little nervous and a little excited.

He stretched out his hands on the bed, looking at the roof above his head, he kept panting heavily, his forehead was sweating and his face was flushed.

There was disbelief in his eyes, and he muttered in a low voice.

"Training to hunt weirdness..."

"They can really hunt weirdness, it's really amazing."

"Weird...so scary..."

He rested for a while and then ran out again. He walked carefully through the canyon to the edge of the farmland outside.

A group of children were peeling breadfruit and helping with farm work. He squeezed in and was spotted immediately.

"You ran to the training ground to peek again?"

"Well, what did you see?"

"One day you're going to get caught."

"Then you're finished."

The child said: "I saw Lord Helfas, he seemed to see me."

When he said this, the crowd exploded.

"Then you are finished, peeking and getting caught."

"Lord Helfas will punish you."

"Let you run over and take a peek."

"You'll be kicked out."

The other children booed, and the child who had just peeked became nervous all of a sudden. He lowered his head and dared not speak, his eyes stared blankly at the ground.

After a while, tears flowed down my face.

in the evening.

Helfas sat at the door looking at the sun, while also thinking about something.

Suddenly, he saw a "sneaky" figure.

A child was watching him secretly from the corner of the room, but he didn't dare to come over. When he found that Helfas saw him, he immediately turned around and wanted to run.

Helfas beckoned and said to him.

"come over."

The child stopped immediately, but unlike the speed of running away, he moved sideways when he came over.

He didn't dare to face Helfas, nor did he dare to raise his head, as if he was about to face some terrible trial.

Before Helfas could speak, the child suddenly wiped away tears and said while crying.

"Lord Helfas, don't drive me out."

He asked, "Why did you get kicked out?"

Child: "I peeked at the hunters' training, and the other kids said I'd be kicked out."

The black-haired man pursed his lips: "It's true that you did something wrong, but you won't be kicked out."

The child raised his head with red eyes: "Really?"

The dark-haired man asked, "Why peek at training?"

The child said, "I want to be a hunter in the future."

Helfas: "Being a hunter is not so easy. Our hunters are not just hunting wild animals."

The child raised his head, wiped away his tears, and his expression became serious: "I know, I still have to deal with the weirdness in the forest."

Helfas laughed: "It's very dangerous to fight against weirdness, and it's not something ordinary people can do. You need to master a lot of abilities."

"Is there anything special about you?"

The child stuffed his hand into his mouth and blew loudly.

"Look, I can still blow the whistle."

Helfas couldn't help laughing, and he shook his head.

"It's not enough just to blow the whistle."

The child stopped talking again, and lowered his head a little disappointed, as if his ideal had come to nothing.

Helfas: "You want to be a hunter so much?"

The child nodded slowly: "Yeah!"

Helfas said: "Then let's start with courage!"

The child raised his head: "Guts?"

He said: "If you want to fight against the weird, you must at least be able to face the weird without retreating!"

Helfas told him.

"In a few days, we'll bring back a weirdo."

"If you dare to face that terrifying monster outside the canyon without closing your eyes, I will make you a hunter in the future."

In the evening sun, the child walked back.

He walked slowly at first, and then ran quickly.

He ran up and down, as if dancing, and even stretched his hands high behind him.

Helfas found the agricultural officer, and he asked about the child just now.

"What's the matter with that child, it seems to be always alone?"

The agricultural official seemed to know the child: "Mother died on the way here, and it is said that she disappeared when she was close to the swamp."

Children in this era don't know who their father is, because they grew up with their mothers, and they obeyed their mother's orders and were taken care of by their mothers.

So even if the people in the hunting team, most of the people in charge of fighting and force are men, but the leader is usually a woman.

For such a migrating child, losing his mother is equivalent to losing all support.

Helfas nodded: "Are there many such children?"

Agricultural officer: "There are quite a few."

He asked again: "Generally, how do we arrange children like this?"

The farm officer told Helfas: "We built a house for them to live in, and usually let them help out in the farmland and eat with us."

Helfas nodded: "That's good."

He stood up, feeling a little relieved, and feeling that he had done something right.

"You did a good job on this."

The agricultural officer was a little excited, but he had a conversation with Helfas when he left.

"By the way, Lord Helfas!"

"There's not enough water."

"After the farmland expands, more irrigation water is needed. Now we have to travel a long way to get water, which is very inconvenient and dangerous."

"And as the population increases, more places need water."

Helfas: "Don't worry, it will be resolved soon."

——

On this day, Helfas summoned everyone in the hunter team.

In addition, the members of the caravan also came back yesterday. At this moment, the merchant led several sons to wait outside the canyon in the jeweled snail car.

Gathering all available combat forces, the group set off.

Pass through the farmland, come to the foot of a mountain, and enter a tall cave.

Go through the tunnel and come out the other end.

Helfas sat at the very top of the volute.

It was very high there, even taller than some trees. Sitting on it, one could vaguely see all the movements around him, and the sunlight could directly shine on him.

Today, the weirdness they tackle is named Black Marsh by Helfas.

This is also the second time that the hunter team has hunted the monsters, and it is also the first time to collect information with their own strength and start the weird seal independently.

Under the sun, Helfas unrolled his scroll.

Not only information about the black swamp is written on it, but even a stick figure of its shape. Its body shape is a mass of black mud, which usually lives in the water and looks like a black swamp.

Feature 1: Can create water flow out of thin air, can control water flow, water flow can trap people, or even drown them.

Feature 2: Eat people's corpses to make black humanoid puppets, which can make sounds to lure passers-by.

Helfas memorized all the information about the weirdness, and even opened his mouth to simulate the spell of the seal, thinking about the details of the whole process.

Soon, they arrived at the black swamp.

"Pour the magic fire oil down."

The captain of the hunter team arranged for people to go to various locations and poured down jars of grease. The greasy stuff spread along the surface of the water, exuding a choking smell.

Helfas has already mastered how to extract oil from the tree-shaped biphasic insect, and has gradually normalized this method of attack enhancement.

With the experience of dealing with the red snail last time, the hunter team seemed much calmer this time.

Seeing that they were ready, Helfas immediately set up the ceremonial slabs, and then summoned the dual-phase monster form and rushed into the swamp.

"boom!"

The target to be dealt with this time is obviously much sharper than the red snail.

As soon as Helfas showed his strength, there was a loud noise in the swamp.

Something is about to rush out.

It tore through the water, trying to escape.

But what followed was a fire that shot up into the sky, and the flame that couldn't be extinguished by water directly caused the entire swamp to boil, and at the same time covered the entire swamp.

Large sheets of water vapor billowed up, evaporated and headed towards the sky.

The monster immediately shrank back and fled back to the depths of the water.

But the bottom of the water is also not calm.

A huge worm was looking for it, and the two monsters fought fiercely below, causing this small swamp to roll like a sea in a storm.

Finally, a group of black monsters couldn't bear it and rushed out again.

And a huge monster worm was biting its body fiercely, rushing out of the burning water with it.

"Wow!"

The biphasic devil worm tore off a large part of the opponent's body, and the remaining large part wanted to escape.

But at this time, the merchant officer who had been waiting by the side came up driving the jeweled snail car.

Her mission is to prevent the weird from escaping.

Sometimes it's easy to beat Weird, but harder to keep it from getting caught or not running away.

Fortunately, this time Helfas was well prepared, and the cards in his hand were completely different from before.

"slow!"

The strong woman sat between the two tentacles of the red snail monster, and looked at the fleeing black mud ball. The two tentacles retracted first, and then moved slowly.

There was no sound, but an invisible wave spread.

And the black marsh, which looked so fierce and weird, immediately slowed down.

Helfas controlled the biphasic demon worm and stepped forward again, dragging it directly to the shore.

The monster spit out fire.

And the members of the hunter team on the side kept adding magic fire oil.

That weirdness wanted to escape, but under the power of the jeweled snail car, he couldn't struggle no matter what. He could only twist his body slowly and feebly.

Its muddy body was gradually dried out, cracked, and then burned into a ball.

There is even a feeling of burning it to stone.

It was at this time that Helfas started the ceremony and began to chant the incantation.

"In the name of Zhizhu, seal the weirdness in front of you."

"..."

at last.

A ray of light fell from the sky,

The beam of light suppressed the strange body, swallowing it completely.

Immediately afterwards, a black-gray kettle appeared in the light and slowly fell down.

【Sealed Artifact Pot of the Black Marsh】

[Ability 1: It can continuously produce clear water continuously, and can also control the flow of water to attack others. 】

[Ability 2: It can pour out a black swamp to trap the enemy, and the person who is eaten will become a talking puppet. 】

After seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into cheers.

At first it was shouting success, winning.

At the back, the cheers turned into a name.

"Helfas!"

"Helfas!"

"Helfas..."

Helfas stepped forward to pick up the black-gray water bottle and held it up high. The cheers of everyone became stronger.

When returning, before arriving home soon.

Helfas asked everyone to sort out their appearance and form a neat team.

"Release the black swamp."

"Then you take out a net and wrap it up so it looks like you've caught prey."

"Tell everyone that this man-eating monster was sealed by us, and tell everyone about our achievements."

"And let everyone know that being weird isn't all that scary."

Helfas stood in front of the team, looked at all the hunters, and expressed his expectations.

"From now on, you are no longer hunters."

The hunters lined up, looking left and right, not knowing how to answer.

In the end, the middle-aged strong man who was the captain spoke: "Then what are we?"

Helfas said, "You are witchers."

He said it again: "Hunt monsters and weird people."

In an instant, the eyes of all hunters were different.

Looking at the black-haired man in front of them, chanting the word demon hunter, they suddenly felt that they had become a little different.

Even if they are still their former selves, after being given a special noun, they are no longer ordinary.

Starting today, they are no longer ordinary, and they will create an unprecedented history.

Helfas poured out the Black Marsh Pot.

A group of black monsters got out, and then they were caught in a net by the hunter team without moving.

They held their heads high and dragged their nets toward the canyon beyond.

And before the canyon.

It is already crowded with people.

Almost everyone ran out, shouting at the returning team.

"Look, it's back."

"Lord Helfas has returned with the hunter."

"What are they dragging?"

"It's a big one, what is that?"

"It's a monster, it's weird."

Not only adults came, but also many children.

The children stood at the edge of the farmland, watching the mighty team slowly approaching, dragging the monster that seemed to have no breath but still looked extremely terrifying.

Some children covered their eyes in fear, and some children looked at the monster curiously, wanting to step forward to take a closer look, but backed away involuntarily.

One of the children stood by the side of the road, staring hard at the team, and also at the black monster.

He was also very scared, but he still tried to stand by the side of the road.

As the team approached, his expression suddenly changed.

He recognized it.

That was the weirdness that ate his mother.

He still remembered the dark swamp, the thirsty mother who tried to get some water, was caught in a cloud of water, and was eaten by the darkness under the water.

But at this moment, the weirdness was dragged by the net and exposed to the sun.

He saw a black shadow standing by the water, waving to himself.

"Son, I am mother."

"I am mother... I am..."

The voice was hoarse, like the worst nightmare.

"Weird... defeated."

in his eyes.

In the sun, the people dragging the nets were as tall as golden statues.

And the black-haired man who walked in the front of the crowd seemed to have a layer of sacred color invisible. (end of this chapter)
