Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

"Is that Lowes Village?"

"It seems to be more serious than the plague in Basai Village?"

Gordon looked at the conspicuous village shrouded in gray-black mist and said.

"I'm afraid that's the case."

"Let's go, it's getting late. Today's harvest cannot be less than yesterday's."

Geralt squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the black village in the distance as he spoke slowly, clamped his legs on the horse's back, and was about to move forward.

At this time, Xina suddenly said: "Look..."

Gordon and Geralt looked in the direction of Xina's finger.

Behind the three of them, on the wilderness trail in the distance, two heavily armed figures were riding towards them.

"They should be colleagues..."

"The longer time goes by, the more demon hunters will be attracted here, but the number of monsters will continue to decrease. They are all our competitors."

"I still hope to make more money in Forov... let's go!"

After Geralt finished speaking, he turned his head, clamped his legs together, and the horse immediately ran out on the snow.

Gordon and Xina immediately followed.

Just like yesterday, they tied up their horses in a hidden thorn bush near Lowes Village, and the three of them quickly headed towards the village.

"Bang..."

The empty bottle containing the "Ogre Physique" potion was crushed by Gordon.

The three of them were on the edge of Lowes Village, and one of them first drank a bottle of magic potion that could strengthen his body and resist the miasma.

Soon, we walked into the village from the direction of the village gate.

The three of them seemed to have entered another world.

The sky was low, gray and very depressing.

The air is so hot that the skin exposed to the air will feel a slight tingling sensation, and if it is breathed into the body, there will be an obvious burning sensation.

Having just stepped into Lowes Village, the three of them clearly felt that the plague situation in this village was more serious than that in Basai Village, and the miasma was thicker.

If the concentration of miasma in Basai Village is considered, it can only make ordinary people sick for the time being.

So with the current concentration of miasma in Lowes Village, ordinary people can definitely die suddenly in a short period of time.

Even the three Gordons who took the "Ogre Physique" potion felt uncomfortable with the strong miasma.

On the main road of the village where the hard soil was compacted, various things were scattered everywhere, including clothes, shoes, boxes, corpses, and large amounts of dried black blood... These were the traces left when chaos broke out.

"Why is it the same as in Basai Village? Didn't those people even have time to escape?"

Looking at the scene of deathly silence at the end of the world, Xina couldn't help but said.

"It stands to reason that the outbreak of the plague requires an incubation period."

"I have seen plagues occur in some places, although they were more widespread and infected more people."

"But it's not as tragic as the village of Basak and the village of Lowes in front of me..."

"The current situation is more like a large-scale outbreak of plague at the same time, making it difficult for people in Lowes Village to even escape."

"It looks more like intentional... But that shouldn't be possible. No sorceress or wizard would dare to do such a thing..."

Geralt spoke slowly, but as he was talking, a word suddenly flashed in his mind: "Convergence of the Celestial Spheres."

"Perhaps someone or a monster really came to this world through the intersection of heaven and earth, and it's hard to say for sure, but there's no need to tell these two little guys about this for the time being..."

Thinking of this, Geralt did not continue the topic, but said in a deep voice: "Okay, this is not our concern."

"Time is running out. We will search separately as before. If there is any danger, we will immediately call the rest of us."

"Remember not to be too far apart, there are more than just us here..."

"knew."

Gordon nodded.

"Know!"

Xina responded.

"Well, the outside must have been visited by others. Let's go deeper this time."

"Go over there, let's go..."

After Geralt said that, he immediately led the two of them towards the depths of Lovis Village.

After a while, the three people appeared in the middle of Lowes Village, an area surrounded by two-story ordinary houses.

"Okay, it's just around here. Don't leave too far. If you are in danger, you can help in time..."

"Gone..."

After Geralt finished speaking, the three of them quickly separated.

Gordon got into an ordinary small building nearby, only to find that it seemed to be a long-abandoned house.

"Click..."

The slight sound of the door opening was particularly harsh in the extremely empty and spacious house.

Gordon walked into the room and found that the house was completely empty. It didn't look like a place for people to live at all, but more like an unfinished building.

"rustle..."

The ground was full of sand and gravel, and the sound of footsteps could be heard far away.

Gordon walked slowly in the empty unfinished building, and kept walking deeper into the darkness.

His physique has been strengthened to level 3, and now even in a pitch-black environment where he can't see his fingers, Gordon can still be clearly seen.

Darkness is no longer a problem for Gordon.

At this moment, Gordon, who was walking in the dark corridor, seemed to notice someone watching him, and suddenly raised his head and looked forward.

When he raised his head, he saw a black figure flashing past at the end of the corridor leading to the second floor.

"I'm not afraid that you will show up, but I'm afraid that you won't..."

Gordon looked at the corridor on the second floor and murmured in a low voice, then slowly pulled out the cross silver sword on his back.

This unfinished building is spacious enough, and the corridors and rooms are spacious enough, so a long sword won't get in the way.

Gordon slowly walked upstairs with his sword in hand, his eyes constantly watching the noise around him, and his vigilance was at its highest.

It's just that the black shadow just now didn't seem to have any intention of appearing. Even when Gordon went to the second floor, he couldn't hear a single sound from the other party.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Gordon smelled a foul smell.

It's like the stench of corpses and seafood that have been exposed to the sun and rotted for a long time.

The fuming brother suddenly frowned.

"Did we reach the monster's lair? Or was it coming from some corpse?"

After following Geralt and Sheena for so long, and with Geralt's deliberate teachings, Gordon's understanding of many monsters is no longer what it was at the beginning.

It can emit such a smell of rotting corpses. In addition to the common rotting corpses, some monsters or lairs also have such a smell.

Gordon carefully followed the direction of the stench, walking through two dark empty rooms and a long corridor, and finally found the source of the stench.

It was emanating from the dark room in front of me.

"Click..."

Suddenly, something stepped on his feet. Gordon looked down and saw that it was half a human skull.

"Did you find the monster's lair?"

Gordon was shocked. He lowered his head and looked carefully, and saw many bones scattered on the ground, extending from the front room.

"It should be right here..."

"You haven't shown up yet, are you waiting to be delivered to your door?"

Looking up at the dark room in front of him, Gordon grinned, and then a small bottle of black magic potion appeared in his hand.

"Bo..."

The mouth of the potion bottle was opened, Gordon raised his head and poured down the "Ogre Power" in one gulp.

Feeling the extremely pungent taste exploding in his mouth, Gordon endured the discomfort and quickly swallowed the potion.

The next second.

Gordon's expression immediately became ferocious and twisted, and his pair of azure pupils quickly turned pitch black.

Black veins bulged out, starting from the dark eye sockets and spreading to all sides of the face.

At the same time.

Brush brush brush...

A series of virtual data characters began to jump and flash in front of Gordon's eyes out of thin air.

"Exception in host status detected..."

"The host's power is enhanced..."

"Host attribute data update..."

【......】

Feeling the surge of strength in his body, Gordon walked into the dark and smelly room in front of him with his sword in hand.

"Stinky, very stinky, unbearably stinky!"

The first thing Gordon felt when he stepped into the room in front of him was the almost unbearable stench of rotting corpses.

This made Gordon, who had taken the potion, increase his strength and become more sensitive to touch and smell. The smell was so bad that he almost wanted to shut down.

Gordon, who was already very energetic, stepped into the room and quickly scanned the dark room with his eyes.

I saw a large amount of bedding, clothes and other clothing piled up in a corner of the spacious room, forming a huge nest.

Around the nest, a large number of devoured bones of humans, cattle, sheep and some unknown creatures were scattered around.

Inside the nest, there was also a human corpse that had been half eaten, leaving only the lower half of the body.

It seems that not long ago, the monster was lying in its nest eating rotting human corpses.

"grass..."

Gordon suppressed his nausea and just spat out half-civilized words.

I felt a great sense of danger approaching rapidly.

Gordon immediately rolled aside.

"Bang..."

A thick muffled sound.

At Gordon's original location, a monster similar in size to Gordon suddenly fell from the sky.

Gordon crushed a large number of skeletons and stood up, only then could he see clearly what the attacking monster was.

The monster in front of me has a face similar to that of a human woman and the body of a bird.

It has a bald and ugly forehead, a sharp lower jaw that is very similar to a bird's beak, a tall body with two human-like arms, its body is covered with green and black spots, and there are feathered wings on its back.

But these are not important. The most important thing is that the monster in front of you is exuding a stench all the time.

He looks very ugly and smells very bad!

The first time Gordon saw this monster, he quickly recognized it.

This is the "Man-Faced Bird", a monster with a horrifying cry and a nest so smelly that even rats that often live in feces and garbage are reluctant to come near it and are despised.

Geralt hunted one in Basel Village yesterday, but that one was much smaller than the one in front of him.

Geralt also told Gordon the information about the human-faced bird.

"No wonder it smells so bad, it turns out to be this monster..."

Gordon muttered, but his eyes flickered.

It smells bad, but this thing is very valuable.

Yesterday, Geralt offered a reward for the human-faced demon bird that was half the size of the one in front of him and sold the body to the bald wizard for a total of ten and a half gold coins.

Such a big one in front of Gordon's eyes is no longer a monster, but a pile of golden moving gold coins.

The sneak attack failed, and the human-faced demon bird immediately screamed strangely at Gordon:

"Hiss...hiss..."

Low, rough, hoarse...

In the ears, it felt like someone was scraping their fingernails on the blackboard or on the cement floor. It sounded harsh, disgusting, and extremely uncomfortable.

In addition, the voice of the human-faced demon bird in front of you seems to have a hint of penetration, which can make the sound penetrate directly into the listener's mind, causing a dizzy and tingling feeling.

No wonder Geralt specifically mentioned paying attention to the monster's cry when introducing the harpy bird.

"Hiss..."

The human-faced demon bird moved slowly and howled toward Gordon.

At this time, Gordon's mental strength plus the bonus of the "Ogre Physique" potion had reached level 3. The monster's howling attack in front of him only made Gordon shake his head slightly.

"Kaka..."

The scattered bones underfoot made a crunching sound as Gordon stepped on them.

Suddenly, Gordon's feet softened and he stepped on something soft.

When he looked down, he saw a half-eaten human corpse. It turned out that he had stepped on the nest of a human-faced demon bird.

"Fuck, so damn unlucky..."

Gordon cursed lowly, raised his foot and kicked the corpse away.

With so much strength at this time, the rotten corpse was easily kicked and flew towards the human-faced demon bird.

A cold light flashed in Gordon's eyes, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "Quick!"

"Whoosh..."

Gordon held the sword in both hands and immediately rushed towards the human-faced demon bird behind the carrion like lightning!

Seeing his food being kicked away by the two-legged monster opposite, the human-faced demon bird howled and became even more angry.

But before it could take the food, it saw the two-legged monster on the opposite side rushing over. A flash of silver light expanded rapidly in front of its eyes. The human-faced demon bird howled in fear and tried its best to hide away.

"Die!"

Gordon shouted and suddenly appeared in front of the human-faced demon bird and jumped up.

"Wow..."

The silver sword light flashed past.

"Pa..."

A strong arm covered with black and green spots and half of its hairy wings were chopped off instantly.

"Hiss...hiss..."

The human-faced demon bird immediately screamed and tried its best to hide to the side, while only the remaining half of its wings flapped wildly.

It's just that one wing is missing, and the human-faced demon bird is unable to take off at all.

The harder he thumped, a large amount of stinking blood immediately splattered everywhere from the broken arm, and black feathers flew all over the sky.

"Fuck me!"

"Bah...bah..."

Being dumped, Gordon, whose face was full of stinking blood, cursed and spat several times with bloody spit.

Then he rushed towards the human-faced demon bird with swords in both hands and a face filled with fury.

"Hiss..."

Seeing Gordon rushing towards him, the human-faced demon bird immediately assumed an attack stance, howling ferociously while waving its only remaining arm with sharp black claws.

Facing a half-wasted human-faced monster bird, Gordon couldn't expend much effort at this time.

"Bang..."

The cross silver sword easily slapped away the human-faced demon bird's sharp claws, and kicked the body of the human-faced demon bird that was unsteady.

Gordon slashed at the head of the human-faced demon bird with a sword, but suddenly thought that he had to take away this smelly monster, and it was a bit disgusting to chop off the head.

So the sword's edge turned, and the cross silver sword changed into a stab, and it stabbed the human-faced demon bird in the chest!

"Hiss..."

Amid the terrified cry of the human-faced demon bird, the long sword easily penetrated the human-faced demon bird's chest.

Gordon then stirred hard!

The organs in the human-faced demon bird's chest were immediately smashed to pieces.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

The low howling sound quickly weakened, the cloudy pupils lost their luster, and the human-faced demon bird was completely dead.

"Pooh..."
