The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 2678: Li Min's Request

Late at night

Li Min lay on the desktop, squinted comfortably and yawned, tapping the desktop lightly with his fingers unconsciously. The other hand was covering his abdomen, and the table in front of him was filled with empty dinner plates.

Boom boom boom!

Li Min lifted the eyelid of his left eye slightly with the sound of knocking on the tabletop. Fully armed Vera stood across the table, eyes under the hood coldly looking down at the magician: "It's time."

"Aha..." Li Min sat up, yawned, and patted his little mouth with lavender lipstick: "When is it? It's already so late? Well, let's go." As she said, she picked up the wand next to her: "Tell me, Demon Hunter, what kind of carriage have you prepared for me?"

The demon hunter turned and walked to the kitchen of the cattle slaughter hotel. She knew that the kitchen had a back door for the purchase of goods: "You will know when the time comes."

Li Min tilted his head, thought for a few seconds, and shook his head: "Pretending to be mysterious."

Leoric Heights is located on a high cliff, backed by a winding river, and directly in front is the Spider Mountain Range. Only a cave through the spider mountain range can reach that secluded and remote highland. Perhaps Leoric chose to establish his private estate there because he wanted to stay away from everyone else. Unfortunately, his vigilance was too late. When the manor was built, he had already fallen into the bewitching of the devil.

Zelin held the torch and walked cautiously in the dark and familiar mountain tunnel. The tunnel was covered with cobwebs, silent.

"I hate this place..." He looked around. It was dark and dark outside, and there was hardly any light in the cave: "I have lost two very important weapons here. I haven't found them yet. "

"Oh?" Linden, who was holding another torch by the side, heard it, and immediately came to his mind: "What kind of weapon? Magic weapon? It's not safe these years, a good magic weapon made by the wizard tribe. , Can sell very good prices at the auction house in Kingsport. If you don’t have enough money, I’m happy to help you introduce buyers."

"Those weapons have been fighting with me for many years, and I don't think I will throw them away even if I retire." Zelin looked at the surrounding walls, there was some kind of viscous liquid remaining on the walls: "Be careful, this cave It's very dangerous. There is a giant spider queen inside. I have seen it. It is at least five meters in size and maybe longer. This group of monsters seems to rely on hunting travelers on the nearby roads for a living."

"I know them." Komak watched the darkness in front of him vigilantly: "Among the monster enemies recorded by the Knights, magical mutant creatures are one of the evils that must be eliminated from this world. Spiders are the most familiar with magic. One of the creatures, once touched with magic power, or artificially infused with magic, the size of the spider will expand to an exaggerated degree, and eventually become a monster that can eat people."

Zelin looked at Ke Mike in disbelief: "Is this an ordinary spider?"

"Yes, ordinary spiders are also very dangerous creatures. You never know when they will come into contact with magic. But once they come into contact with magic, it is a threat that ordinary humans cannot resist. Some scholars say that spiders are actually monsters from hell. "Kemike nodded seriously: "So when you see a little spider, you must kill it before it threatens humans."

"But it's not quite right here..."

Zelin looked at the broken cobwebs and splashing mucus in the cave. He originally planned to go through the cave with Ke Mike and Linden. Behind the cave is an open area with woods. As long as they pass through the cave, they can throw off the spider there, or directly lead the spider to Leoric Manor.

But they have walked more than two hundred meters in the cave and still haven't encountered any spiders that attacked them. The cave was silent, and it smelled of decay. Zelin held the torch and swept the surroundings. There were shattered spider corpses everywhere in the area where the fire light reflected.

"Someone came here before us?"

Linden stared at the spider corpse on the ground: "Someone attacked the spider cave? But why? Does anyone really think that treasures can be found in this weird place?"

Zelin held a torch and passed through the nest where the spider queen lived. There were still many uneaten human remains in the spider web, but there was no trace of the spider queen.

Suddenly, the demon hunter noticed a strange thing on the wall on the right.

He stepped forward, and a crossbow arrow stuck in the gap in the wall. Reach out and forcefully remove the arrow.

Zelin discovered that he knew this kind of arrow.

This morning, he borrowed several crossbow arrows used by the Demon Hunters in the Sanctuary from Vera to understand the principle and use of these crossbow arrows. He found that it was similar to the blasting arrows used by the demon hunters, but the demon hunters in the Sanctuary were obviously better at using armor-piercing arrows that could penetrate the devil's skin.

There are many barbs on the shaft of this arrow. After hitting the enemy, the fine needles in the arrow will split to form more small arrows. This is the weapon used by the Demon Hunter.

"A demon hunter..." Zelin put away his arrows. He looked around and saw more crossbow arrows that had broken on the wall nearby.

Could it be that a demon hunter has already come here? Zelin remembered that Vera once said that she came to Kanduras with her witcher mentor, in order to track down a demon manipulating the heart. She defeated the demon more than half a month ago and was approved by her mentor, so she was sent to New Tristram.

"Hey! Demon Hunter, what are you waiting for?"

Linden, who was already holding the torch, walked to the steps in the cave, turned his head and shouted to Zelin: "Hurry up, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment."

The three of them moved along the cave. On the way, they found more spiders that had been killed.

But Zelin was puzzled. There were not many spiders killed. He remembered that the spiders inside could almost fill the entire cave, and there were spider eggs and killed humans everywhere. There are indeed some spider corpses here, but they are far from the spider dens at that time.

Passing through the spider cave without incident, a plain full of pale yellow withered grass came into view, dotted with some low shrubs and bare black trees. In the distant night, the faint moonlight outlined the outline of the Leoric Manor at the end. The weather in New Tristram is not cold, but the temperature here is unusually low, and the fallen leaves on the ground are covered with a thin layer of frost.

"There is a fire." Komike keenly perceives the abnormal movement on the high ground: "It is a gathering of cultists. Maybe they are holding a ceremony, we must attack immediately!"

"No, our friends will be here soon." Zelin raised his head and looked to the sky: "I hope they are not late."

After a few minutes, a dark shadow appeared in the sky.

The Griffin landed amidst the howling sound, landed on a high slope, and ran two steps forward before stopping. Vera, who was sitting in the front with his back, was holding the reins, and Li Min was sitting at the back, leaning over.

"Oh, my goodness, what kind of monster is this?" Linden was surprised, clutching his sparse hair. "Can actually fly with people? Wait, why didn't we come here like this?"

"Because it can't carry so many people." Zelin said: "And as I said, we can't leave together, otherwise it will cause suspicion."

Zelin’s plan is that he, Ke Mike and Linden go to Leoric Heights first. The wizards will inevitably focus on Li Min and Vera, and the two of them will stay in New Tristram until late at night before riding on the lion. Eagle, rushed to the high ground to meet Zelin.

Vera took out a piece of jerky that Zelin had handed her. She turned her inquiring gaze to the demon hunter. Zelin nodded: "Yes, come down first, come down, and then throw it to it."

Vera rolled over and fell, she walked to the front, tentatively raising the jerky in her hand, the griffon took it away in one bite, and the demon hunter subconsciously retracted her arm, almost biting her finger.

Zelin suddenly noticed that there was still someone sitting on the back of the Griffon.

"Li Min, what are you doing?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing." Li Min tidied up her long hair that was tossed by the wind, patted the saddle of the griffon vigorously, and then jumped off. After swallowing the dried meat, the Griffin flapped its wings two times unpleasantly before taking off again: "Can this flying mount be given to me? I need a mount like this that can carry me to save the world."

Zelin looked at Li Min seriously and realized that she was not joking.

"No... this is not for sale."

Chapter 2677 The Betrayer

Leoric Manor was silent in the night.

The demon hunter looked down at the crossbow bolt that Zelin had found in the spider cave, and was silent.

"My plan is like this." Zelin squatted on the ground, and the others surrounded the demon hunter, looking down at his map spread out on the ground: "I got this map in Kane's hands. He described it to me. When the Leoric Manor was started, he lived in Tristram and experienced the entire construction process of the manor. He said that the scale of the manor is very large, not only on the ground, but also on the ground. Craftsmen built larger dungeons underground."

"In other words, can there be hundreds of cultists hidden inside?" Linden touched his chin. "This doesn't sound like good news."

"In any case, our goal is Magda. We must kill the leaders of the Wizarding Society to completely dismantle them." Zelin put his finger on the map where the entrance is located: "There is only one long bridge entrance, with high sides on both sides. Walls, but those high walls have not been maintained for a long time, and there are many cracks on them. My plan is this, some people attack from the front, and then some people climb the wall, and then support the people attacking the main entrance from the side."

"Why are we separating?" Li Min raised his eyebrows and drew a line on the long bridge with his fingers painted with lavender nail polish: "We can rush in directly from the main entrance and force Magda to come out and fight us."

"The long bridge at the front entrance is very narrow. I am worried that they have spells or similar traps." Zelin explained: "Moreover, the front entrance of the manor is an open area with sentries on the fence. As long as we start the offensive, they will find out. I don’t know how much my plan has succeeded, but after Magda’s injury, she will definitely not let her lair neglect."

"Well, I want to go to the front door." Li Min said: "If there is a mage who wants to trap me with a trap, I would like to see who has such ability and courage."

"I'm not good at climbing." Komike said dryly.

"Have you seen the statue at the front entrance? It seems to be inlaid with an emerald." Linden scratched his face: "I have to rescue them to prevent these lovely babies from falling into the wrong hands."

"Well, then I will pay attention to cooperate with you, if someone is on the fence..."
