Chapter 544 The Strange Fallen (4000)
Hyenas walk into associations.
He followed Gregor and stayed around Beach City for a while. This seemingly informal Adventurer's Association has also been here several times.
The atmosphere in the association today is a bit strange.
Those adventurers who are always noisy, drinking and blowing are as quiet as chicks, at most they are whispering and whispering.
Most of the people's attention is focused on the position of the bar.
There stood a girl dressed as an adventurer, who looked a little drunk, but also in high spirits.
Her appearance is typical of Tazan, she seems to be about the same age as herself, or one or two years older.
Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, Hyena felt that he might have missed a good show.
However, he didn't care too much. In front of all the silent adventurers in the association, he calmly walked to the front of the bar and took out his metal round card voucher:
"Give me a glass of rye wine. I saved the money here last time. Then, I want to see the commission."
A set of movements is familiar, very sophisticated.
The receptionist checked the adventurer's credentials, looked at the hyena, and then at the anaconda next to him, and nodded in a low voice to prepare the wine.
The hyena tapped the bar with its fingertips to wait for the drink, and then found that the young female adventurer who seemed to be the focus of the audience was squinting his drunken eyes, and his eyes fell on his face.
"Are you a B-rank adventurer?"
The anaconda had just noticed the grade on the hyena's credential.
"Um."
"Want to take a commission?"
"……Um."
"Hey, that's just right." The anaconda laughed, smelling of alcohol when he opened his mouth, "My sister has a commission with fast money, and I just brought you one."
At the same time, she showed the order form and the A-level adventurer certificate in her hand.
The hyena was expressionless, but frowned.
...
Hyenas and anacondas come out of association together.
When he was leaving, he noticed that some adventurers in the association didn't look very friendly at him and the anaconda, so they paid more attention.
After going out, the hyena caressed the [Golden Armor] hanging on his chest, carefully guarding all the way, but no one followed.
Maybe those female adventurers who are a little afraid of going with them are A-rank.
But then again, this A-level adventurer named Anaconda seems to be unreliable.
Get drunk when you go out.
He also yelled that he was not drunk, and he wanted to walk a straight line to prove it to the hyena...
"Is this guy really okay?" The hyena little brother murmured in his heart.
In short, he and the anaconda made an impromptu partnership.
no way.
For the entrusted task issued by the Holy See, there is a 20 silver reward for providing key information for investigation, and 60 silver for directly dealing with the fallen, which is too tempting.
During this time, the Holy See was active around the battlefields of Tarzan and Dorna.
According to Hyena's knowledge, these Holy See personnel seem to have come to stop the abnormal famine in this area.
In Beach City and Tazan, there are cities where the Adventurer's Association is stationed, and occasionally they can receive commissions from the Holy See.
And these commissions generally have very considerable remuneration.
Because the scattered activities of those fallen people are too large, some areas suspected of having fallen people's activities, the Holy See personnel can't take care of them, so they will first use the form of entrustment to delegate to capable adventurers to deal with.
When there are clerics who are free, they will go to the corresponding area to fill their seats.
In addition, Hyena has noticed that the name of the commissioned publisher is "Kixiu". It sounds very familiar, as if he is a friend of the elder brother in the Holy See.
At the celebration banquet after the big sea octopus was hunted down, they met each other.
Three days passed in a flash.
During this period, the hyena went back to the temporary residence and left a note to the master Gregor who hadn't come back yet, explaining that he had accepted a commission from the Holy See.
After that, he stayed around Beach City.
According to his and the anaconda's investigation, it seems that there is really a Corrupted One that can spread famines around here.
A single fallen person is not very strong.
In fact, when the hyena followed Gregor in Tazan a while ago, the master and apprentice also dealt with several of these humanoid monsters.
With the hyena's current strength and excellent equipment, there is a great chance of winning in a one-on-one encounter with the Fallen.
Not to mention that there is an A-level adventurer acting together.
So, that fallen man is nothing more than 60 silver coins for walking to the hyena.
Nothing to be afraid of.
...
On the third night of receiving the commission from the Holy See.
A sparse tundra taiga somewhere west of Dorna.
The wind at night in late autumn was a bit biting, except for the sound of the wind, the surrounding area was very quiet. There is no moon in the night sky tonight, but the stars are much brighter, and the starlight is so thick that it seems to be dripping from the night sky.
The hyena crouched quietly behind a dirt slope, waiting silently.
It's a hunt, an ambush, and the hunter-turned-hyena is very good at it.
According to the investigation and tracking during this period, the fallen person who was active in the surrounding area is likely to appear in the coniferous forest tonight.
Under a bare tree not far away, there was a carcass of an elk.
The elk died not long ago, and even the wounds on its body were fresh, but the deer exuded a faint rancid smell.
This rotten smell is very strange and eerie, with a sense of danger and spooky.
Even carrion vultures will not be attracted by this smell, but will run away from it. Therefore, there is no wildlife activity in this sparse coniferous forest.
And the object that this rotten smell can really attract is the fallen.
After the hyena and the others took over the mission from the Holy See three days ago, they received a small bottle of scarlet potion from the receptionist.
All the commissions issued by the Holy See to investigate and eliminate the fallen will be equipped with such a strange bottle of alchemy potion.
The method of using the potion is very simple, as long as you smear it on a fresh animal carcass, it won't take long for the carcass to emit a smell that attracts the fallen.
The potion that Hyena and the others received had been used twice in the first two days, and it was almost bottomed out after the third use.
If you can't successfully hunt the fallen tonight, you can basically declare the failure of this entrusted mission.
He could only settle for the next best thing, sort out the clues and information from the three-day investigation, and see if he could get the 20 silver nar consolation reward money from the Holy See.
"Hyena, come to think of it. Did you get your code name yourself, or did someone else get it for you? Like my code name Acanthopanax, I got it myself."
I don't know if it was because the waiting was too boring, but the spiny anaconda lying on the side got a little closer to the hyena.
During these three days, the two got along pretty well.
After all, the hyena little brother is seldom talkative, and he doesn't have any bad habits. As long as the temporary partner is a normal person, there is basically no conflict with him.
An anaconda that is not drunk is indeed a normal person.
"Hyena is not my code name, that's what I call it." The hyena responded in this way, while quietly moving away from the anaconda twice.
"Uh..." The anaconda's expression froze, but he didn't seem to want to give up talking, "Then your name is pretty cool. You see, your name is a hyena, and I named myself anaconda, the two of us It's all..."
"If you're hungry, the dry food is in the bag, so you can take it yourself."
The hyena held the [Howler] in his hand, stared at the elk carcass intently, and then dismissed his teammates in a perfunctory tone.
"Well, my sister read you right! When I get the reward for this entrustment, I will immediately pay you back the money I owe you these days."
The spiny anaconda lay on the ground, blinking its eyes and nodding to the hyena, then turned over and approached the small bag on the side, and deftly pulled out a tasteless scone and a piece of jerky from inside.
This A-level adventurer spent his last bit of money in the association three days ago.
Penniless, if she can't catch any wild prey in the past three days, or if the prey is used as bait like now, she can only rely on the hyena's rations.
The spiny anaconda broke off a few pieces of scones and jerky, stuffed some into its mouth indiscriminately, then took out the hyena's water bladder, and gulped it down twice. Then wiped the corners of his mouth:
"Ha - I came back to life. I thought I was going to starve to death in this cold autumn night."
After simply satisfying her hunger, she quietly crawled back to the side of the hyena. Just about to say something, the latter quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
"Huh? Huh!"
"Shhh, something is approaching."
With the other hand, the hyena made a silent gesture around his mouth.
The anaconda fell silent immediately.
swish swish.
In the coniferous forest, there was indeed a sound.
But the surrounding area was so dark that the anaconda couldn't see what was approaching.
At best, she could only see the situation around the elk corpse that was used as bait, and a little further away in the woods was a dark blind spot.
Hyenas, by contrast, have excellent innate night vision. After following Gregor, he also exercised more in this area, and drank some alchemy potions that can strengthen eyesight.
So, he can see.
"The Fallen."
The hyena gently released the hand that was pressing on the anaconda's mouth, and whispered. A gleam of excitement shone in those sharp eyes.
"En." The spiny boa waited patiently for a while, and finally a wriggling humanoid creature emerged from the forest.
It seems that the fallen are right.
The spiny anaconda came all the way from Tazan, and has seen this kind of humanoid monster before.
The fallen man approached the dead deer with four limbs crawling, without any hesitation, like a hungry beast with red eyes, he jumped on it, directly biting the raw meat of the deer.
The crunching and chewing sound can be heard clearly.
"We..." The hyena judged the timing, and gripped the [Screamer] tightly, ready to attack.
However, the spiny anaconda next to him was a little faster than him.
The A-level female adventurer nimbly jumped out from behind the slope, and in the process, she had firmly held the delicate crossbow in her hand.
Swish!
The arrow shot out like a shooting star, passing a little cold light in the night.
This arrow is very accurate and powerful!
The steel arrowhead pierced through the fallen man's head, bringing out some red and white rot, which splashed on the frozen soil of the coniferous forest.
After an arrow passed, the fallen man fell stiffly to the ground.
"bingo."
The spiny boa let out a breath of white air, but he didn't take it lightly immediately. Instead, he calmly raised his crossbow and filled it with arrows, and shot another arrow at the head of the fallen man who hadn't moved.
Precise and elegant.
Cracking is a good habit.
Even if the fallen person has much better physical fitness than ordinary people, but with two steel arrows piercing through his head, he will die terribly.
At this time, the anaconda put down her hands, looked sideways at the hyena who hadn't moved in time, and showed a smile she thought was very reliable:
"Look, my sister said that she will take you to complete this task, wait for the money."
In the eyes of the anaconda, she is A-level, and the hyena is B-level. Naturally, her strength is much stronger than that of the hyena. And when she took the mission, she was so drunk that she boasted to the hyena.
Therefore, she should have assumed a little more responsibility in this entrusted task.
But, during these three days, the hyenas were mainly responsible for the follow-up and investigation. The spiny anaconda is of little help other than being able to eat.
No way, hyenas are natural hunters, and they are too good at hunting down enemies.
Fortunately, it finally came to the fighting stage, and the anaconda, who was more confident in his skills, was finally able to perform once, proudly.
After listening to the words of his temporary teammate for three days, the little hyena brother was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but just silently glanced at the fallen man who was lying on the ground, and then walked silently to the anaconda with the [Screamer] side.
The latter maintained a slightly smug expression, and his mouth was almost bent into a "w" shape.
The anaconda took off the dagger from its waist and walked towards the fallen man.
For this kind of clean-up commission, according to the usual practice, after killing the corresponding monster or target, you must take a "token" from its body that can prove that you have killed the opponent.
During this period of time, anyone who has completed the Holy See's task of suppressing the fallen will bring back a finger or an ear of the fallen to the association.
This kind of humanoid monster that has completed the degeneration, the body organs will undergo huge distortion due to the peristalsis of flesh and blood, basically it cannot be faked.
Afterwards, the adventurer will have to report the location of the target, and the people from the Holy See will verify it and hand over the money to the association.
The association will draw a certain commission from it.
When the adventurer who killed the Fallen comes to the association next time, he can get his share of the bounty from the receptionist.
The spiny anaconda approached the "prey" she killed, squatted down, raised the dagger, endured the nausea, and planned to cut off the ear from the side of the opponent's head that had lost its basic outline.
At this moment, the fallen man, who was already dead, moved.
A thin black mist with a depraved aura emerged out of thin air.
Afterwards, a series of distorted sarcoma and granulation surged out from under the fallen man's body, breaking through the rags that were originally in a state of rags.
All of a sudden, this fallen person who was supposed to be motionless became even more inhuman, like a big puddle of wriggling rotten flesh.
"hungry!"
There was a voice, but it didn't come from the fallen man's mouth whose shape was almost indistinguishable.
Thank you Wuyin for your reward, the boss is generous, and the boss is in good health!
