Chapter 106 The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons
Tirnalya, Palace of the Moon.
Zach stood in a dim room, and a decadent man sat on the messy ground in front of him.
The man looked at the ground with a dull look, his long black hair draped over his back, and because of the long lack of plot, he had already formed a stream of black ropes.
The oblique bandage covered the left eye, and the dark red blood was soaked out, emitting a pungent stench.
This man who seemed to have lost his soul is the current King of Earn Elle - Arretin Brick Glass.
He also has a more resounding title that spreads throughout the world - the King of Wild Hunting.
The black-haired mage looked back at Avarak behind him, and the elf sage shrugged helplessly.
Zach sighed, not very clear about what happened to Arretin.
The Wild Hunter King has always led the Red Knights to chase Ciri, but in the final decisive battle, he was defeated by Geralt's sword, and his left eye was directly blinded by the witch hunter.
According to Avarak, the seriously injured Arretin was rescued by his men on his dying days.
However, since then, the originally irritable Married Hunter King did not speak a word as if he had lost his language ability and began to lock himself in the Moon Palace and stayed in the door and stayed out.
Originally fighting for power and profit, he did not even show any interest in the political chaos of Tirnaliya.
Avarak had already made Zach's origin and requests clear before, but Arretin had never responded.
The mage is ready to make another last attempt.
"Aretin..." He leaned over and sat in front of the man: "You are right, Oberon is tired, so you killed him."
This sentence seemed to make the wild hunter's dull right eye flash.
"You did everything you could do."
Objectively speaking, Arretin's life was full of violence and conspiracy, but his fundamental purpose was to seek benefits for his race.
He led the wild hunt to pursue Xili, hoping to use [Ancient Blood] to reactivate all the world gates, so that the entire clan can escape the threat of frost.
Avarak advocates using ancient blood to eliminate Baishuang once and for all.
The two also had differences, and Avalak even left the wild hunting and joined Geralt's rank.
Under his sincere teachings, Xili, who was "not free, rather die", actually accepted the concept of "sacrificing the ego and achieving the ego". Regardless of his personal safety, he embarked on a journey of fighting the cold frost alone.
Then he bumped into Zach's mage tower, and since then there has been no news.
"But there is no meaning now." The mage said slowly: "Are you tired now? But if you still want to save your tribe, it's not the time to rest."
The man still didn't respond.
Zach shook his head and stood up helplessly.
It would be useless to say more.
After taking a last look at the Wild Hunter King on the ground, the black-haired mage sighed lightly and turned around and left.
Just as the two of them stepped out of the door, a low voice rang out in the dark room: "I... join."
———————————————
Geralt pulled out the silver sword from the black carapace, scratching the purple juice from the dead tree beside it, but it stuck more moss on the sword body.
There were more than a dozen crab spiders lying in the swamp around the witcher, and several of them were still twitching.
Each of these huge spider-like creatures is more than one person tall.
The plump worm belly is like a pine cone, and the head is like a blooming flower, but the stamens are covered with yellow sharp teeth.
"Is the legs and feet working?" Geralt applied sword oil to the sword body and looked to the side.
The gray-haired Visemir was still fighting a crab spider: "It's great!"
"Alder!" The old witch hunter avoided the sting of the turtle foot. The strong wind burst out from his hand and overturned the giant insect directly to the ground, and then inserted a sword into the gap between the shells on his abdomen.
"Hu..." Weissemil breathed a long sigh: "You should take good care of yourself..."
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding trees began to shake, and more crab spiders surged out of the dense forest, and the squeaking sounds came one after another.
The two of them held the sword in their hands tightly, stood back to back together, waiting alertly for the next battle.
At this moment, several bloody mist flew over the heads of the two, like red cloaks wrapped in ghosts bounced between the branches, and then pierced straight into the rushing monsters.
They condensed into blurred human forms and moved among the huge crab spiders. The sharp claws drew arcs in the air. The extremely hard insect shells were cut into thin slices like butter. The splash of juice dyed the surrounding swamp purple.
Dozens of crab spiders were cut into pieces in a blink of an eye, like crabs that were being scattered on the dining table.
The figures turned into red mist and flew back to the branches, floating towards the deeper part of the dense forest without stopping.
"If these high-level vampires do the work of witch hunters..." Visemir inserted the silver sword back behind him: "Then we'll have nothing to do."
Geralt was silent and said nothing, his amber pupils still stared at the depths of the jungle with seriousness.
This maze-like valley made him feel uncomfortable.
The marsh that was not far to the knee was covered with dark green moss, as if a thick layer of mold was grown.
Above your head is a dense tree canopy that covers the sky and the sun. Countless vines crisscross the branches like dense spider webs. You can vaguely see the undulating mountains in the distance while swaying.
The smell of rottenness is permeated in the air.
This is the "Ten Thousand Demons' Cave".
The most dangerous place in the entire continent.
It is said that in ancient times, this place was a beautiful valley full of vitality, and there was a slightly pleasant name - Dodulak
After the convergence of the celestial spheres, various monsters began to appear in this world. This valley continued to attract monsters to gather for unknown reasons.
Here they hunt and devour each other, the weak become food, and the powerful build nests here.
One thousand five hundred years have passed, and now this valley has become the nest of countless powerful monsters.
There were many demon hunters here, and they were divided into two types. One wanted to achieve success and fame by slaughtering the demons in the valley, and the other was simply pursuing the way to die glory.
But no matter what the purpose is, no witch hunter has ever walked out of this jungle.
When he was young, Visemir was invited to protect the bachelor of the Cattle Castle who came here to explore, but he refused the well-paid commission without hesitation.
It was such a hellish place, but the black-haired mage asked them to clean up the place completely before leaving.
It is called "joint practical exercises".
So the Nifgad Alba Division, which was supposed to be in the north, was transferred here and surrounded the entire valley with a confused look on its face.
The witch hunters and warlocks penetrated into the jungle as vanguard forces.
After roughly finding out the terrain, a total of 126 high-level vampires were "deported" into the valley.
What followed was the monsters' howling.
But Geralt still couldn't understand the purpose of Zach asking them to clear the Ten Thousand Demon Caves. The number of monsters here is extremely large and very dangerous, but it should not pose too much threat to the outside world.
Is it necessary to mobilize the masses like this?
Thinking of this, the White Wolf waved to Visemir and prepared to continue to go deeper into the jungle.
But at this moment, a large bun suddenly bulged up on the ground not far away, and the soil flipped, and a huge crab spider crawled out from the ground.
It is as big as a two-story house, and its spherical worm belly is covered with spikes as thick as forearms.
"It's the Queen of Crab Spider..." Visemir drew out his silver sword again.
"I'm glad you haven't forgotten the complete monsters yet." Geralt released a Quinn Seal, and a light yellow light wrapped around his body.
However, the moment he drew his sword and rushed forward, the afterglow saw the mountains in the distance through the gap between the canopy.
