Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

Both Gordon and Geralt know Sheena's special ability.

Since she sensed something peeping in the dark, there must be something!

And it's probably not an ordinary thing.

Otherwise, like the monsters that followed before, Xina would have spoken out long ago.

"What's wrong..."

At this time, Yevni and Tesili also quickly stood up and asked.

Gordon looked around and found nothing except the dark and silent forest.

"Sit down first, and then we'll talk."

Geralt spoke, and everyone quickly sat down.

Sitting next to the fire again, the five of them felt much more cautious.

Ephnetisili and Gordon Geralt have also been in contact for quite some time.

I know that both men are cautious in dealing with danger.

The two of them looked serious now, and it was clear that what Xina said about secretly spying on several people was unusual.

"Although I don't know what is spying on us?"

"But let's just pay attention next. Rest is still the same as before."

"This time it is Gordon's turn to keep vigil, but considering that this forest is much more dangerous than outside, I will accompany Gordon this time. You can go to bed later..."

Geralt said, and Gordon didn't refuse. Anyway, these two guys often find opportunities to drink together at night these days.

Sensing that there was danger peeping in the dark, few of them were in the mood to continue chatting.

Soon, Yevnet Sili and Xina fell asleep.

Put a layer of soft quilt on the ground and another layer on top.

Yevny slept next to Gordon, Tesili slept next to Geralt, and Xina slept alone next to some horses.

Surrounded by the warm burning fire, the three of them fell into a deep sleep soon.

Although several of them were in far better health than ordinary people, the long journey in the wilderness for more than a month was too much for any of them.

"Papa...papa..."

Dry wood crackled in the firelight.

Gordon and Geralt each held a small iron bottle in their hands and were tasting it slowly.

"How much wine do you have left?"

Geralt suddenly looked at Gordon and asked.

"This is the last bottle, what about you?"

Gordon shook the small wine bottle in his hand and looked at Geralt.

"I only have half a bottle."

"Hey, if I had known I would have bought more in Ferre Town..."

After briefly tasting the wine in the bottle, Geralt shook his head and sighed.

"We've bought enough."

"I remember that we bought all the small bottles used to hold wine in the tavern..."

Gordon laughed.

"But it's still not enough. That's it. I don't dare to take a big drink now..."

Geralt shook the bottle and looked bitter.

"Then drink less. We still have half a month to go. If you save some money, I should be able to make it to Wellens Town."

Gordon said and shook the wine bottle. There was a clanking sound inside and there was still more than half of the bottle.

"Then you are awesome!"

Geralt gave a thumbs up to Gordon, then picked up the small wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.

Gulu gulu...

"Huh... cool..."

After taking a big sip, Geralt groaned.

"How many more?"

Gordon asked at the right time.

"One more bite..."

Geralt spoke with heartache, but the words did not fall out.

At this moment, several horses sleeping huddled together not far away suddenly woke up and beat their hooves anxiously.

Gordon and Geralt stood up instantly and looked in the same direction.

In the darkness, a huge black figure with tall horns on its head flashed from the trees in the distance.

Gordon slowly let go of the sword behind his back, turned his head and glanced at the three people who were still sleeping, and asked Geralt in a low voice: "What kind of monster is that?"

"I didn't see it clearly, but the other party's tall horns reminded me of a terrifying monster..."

Geralt said as he quietly sat down by the fire again.

"What monster?" Gordon asked immediately.

"Deer-headed spirit!"

"A kind of terrifying monster living in the forest. I have only seen it in books before..."

Geralt's face was serious and his voice was low.

"How scary is it?" Gordon frowned and continued to ask.

"It's terrifying. It's even more difficult to deal with than the charming banshee and plague banshee we encountered before."

"The most troublesome thing is that it is said that once this monster sets its sights on its prey, it will follow it until the prey dies."

"As for the details, no one knows because everyone who has seen it is dead."

Geralt spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing these words, Gordon also fell silent.

"What's wrong?"

At this time, Yevni's voice came from the side.

Gordon turned around and found that not only Yevni, but also Tesili and Xina had woken up.

"Why are you awake?" Gordon said softly.

"I was woken up by the footsteps of horses. What happened to you? What did you find?"

Yevni asked keenly.

Gordon said: "We discovered the monster spying on us."

Eveni continued to ask: "What kind of monster is it?"

Geralt said solemnly: "Deer-headed spirit!"

"Deer-headed spirit?"

"You also know this monster?"

Sensing something strange in Yevni's tone, Geralt immediately asked.

"I've heard of a kind of monster that haunts the forest and is very difficult to deal with!"

"I heard that this kind of monster can drive wild wolves, violent bears and other animals to attack the enemy. It is very difficult to deal with."

"But I also heard that this monster has a weakness!"

"What weakness?"

After Yevny finished speaking, Gordon and Geralt immediately asked.

"Afraid of fire. Rumor has it that this monster is afraid of fire!"

Yevni said calmly.

"I've only heard of this kind of monster following its prey until death. This is the first time I've heard of it."

"Anyway, we now know the monster's shortcomings. If it does come, it will be easier for us to deal with it."

Geralt said solemnly.

"Then after we burned such a big fire, the deer-headed monster shouldn't come again tonight, right?"

Xina said with a yawn.

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you hear what Eveni said that the monster would also drive wild wolves and violent bears to attack?"

Gordon said.

"What should we do?"

"We are just waiting for that monster to come...will it still be there tonight?"

Xina said with her sleepy eyes open.

"Of course it's time for us to sleep now. Hina, please get up and keep vigil!"

Gordon continued to tease Xina who was still awake.

"It's almost time for me to keep vigil...ah...Gorton, you're teasing me again..."

Xina woke up immediately and said angrily.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing Xina's angry look, the other people immediately laughed.

The heavy atmosphere was swept away.

Just then.

Xina's face, which was originally angry, suddenly trembled: "It's here again!"

"The monster is here again!"

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of Gordon, Geralt, and Evonne all changed and they stood up immediately.

Then he saw, in the dark shadows in the distance, pairs of scarlet eyes staring closely at the five people beside the fire.

Behind the scarlet eyes, a huge black figure with huge horns stood quietly in the shadows.
