Chapter 207: Bait

Colin Iliad glanced at Lovia, but did not respond directly, and waited until he pulled out the two straight swords stuck in the ground, then nodded and said:

"it is good."

A group of five people walked around the periphery of North City and tried to enter several times, but they were frightened by the "daily life" of the city-state that seemed normal but had no sound inside, and did not dare to explore rashly.

Seeing that the frequency of high-altitude lightning is getting lower and lower, and darkness is gradually ruling the world, Colin stared deeply at North City for a few seconds and said:

"We set up a small camp first and wait until daylight to continue."

The so-called daytime is the period when the frequency of lightning is high and the interval between darkness is very short.

The other members of the exploration team had no objection, and quickly established a simple camp with the help of a pile of stones on the edge of the river bed.

At the very end of the camp, where there is no need to worry about the rain and is covered by the boulders above, a bonfire is burning, and all kinds of strange biological remains are piled up next to it, and they are thrown in as firewood from time to time. Colin, Lovia and others are sitting around Beside the fire, they each ate the dry food they were carrying and the corpses of those monsters that had been proven not to cause too much damage.

When the fat was roasted so that Zizzy came out, Colin Iliad, the chief of the "six-member council", looked at Derrick Berg and said:

"Let's patrol the camp first, and wait for them to finish their meals before exchanging."

Before, Derrick wouldn't have any extra thoughts, but at this moment, the first thought that flashed through his mind was:

The chief has something to say to me privately...

"Okay." Derrick stuffed the remaining piece of meat into his mouth, and lifted the "Thunder God's Roar" that was beside him.

The piece of meat was obviously cooked, but it was still pale green.

After reaching the edge of the dimly lit camp, "Demon Hunter" Colin said in a low voice, without any change in tone:

"North City is more evil and dangerous than I expected. What's your opinion on the next move?"

I don't know much about this place, and I don't have much experience. Why would the chief ask my opinion? Derrick was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to raise his left hand to scratch the back of his head.

He immediately remembered the several conversations he had with the Chief when he was in the City of Silver, and the analysis Mr. "The Hanged Man" had done on the hidden meanings in the words, and suddenly his heart moved, and he came to a realization:

"The chief is hinting at me!

"He means that North City is more evil and dangerous than expected, and the hunting of shapeshifters will be more difficult than imagined. I wonder if it is possible to change the target?

"He wants me to pray to Mr. Fool, obtain an oracle, and give an 'opinion'?

"That's it... Mr. World is really a man full of wisdom. On the way, he told me how to hunt trick monsters and obtain their blood relatively easily. Uh, in this situation, it seems to be usable!"

As thoughts flickered, Derrick responded sincerely:

"Yes, Your Excellency, I have some suggestions."

Colin Iliad breathed a sigh of relief silently, swallowed the more straightforward words, nodded slightly and said:

"speak."

"Since there have been changes in North City, we will take a lot of risks when we enter. Maybe we can consider luring the shapeshifters out." Derrick did not copy "The World" Gehrman Sparrow's method, but combined Some modifications have been made to the current situation.

"Demon Hunter" Colin did not directly deny it, but asked quite cautiously:

"Then how to lure the shapeshifter out?"

Derrick said without hesitation:

"I have an item that is very attractive to shapeshifters. As long as it is placed on the edge of North City or a little further away, shapeshifters can be lured out."

Colin, with pale and messy hair, was not surprised by his words, and nodded gently:

"What item?"

He had known for a long time that Derrick Berg would take advantage of the vigil to secretly hold a ceremony to pray for bestowals on the way!

Moreover, if it wasn't for him to help cover it up, it would definitely not be able to hide this from Lovia, Rieg and Guna Luen.

Derrick didn't know how to call it or describe it, so he directly took out an iron black square box that was completely different from the style of the City of Silver from the inside of his clothes.

The "spiritual wall" on the surface is lifted.

Then, instead of bowing his head, he turned his head away, and opened the box purely by the feeling of his hands.

Inside the box is a human-shaped object the size of a palm. At a glance, you can notice that it is filled with a transparent liquid, which sometimes bubbles out and emits black light. If you look closely, you can find that it is made of strips of worm-like things. , the subtleties are full of indescribable patterns representing various abstract concepts.

This is the real soul body of the spiritual predator Klein obtained before!

He believes that this piece of Extraordinary material is incomparably attractive to trickster monsters, not only because of the Law of Extraordinary Aggregation, but also because once the trickster monsters get it, they will become a complete "crafty mage" ", get rid of the current restrictions, obtain the essential improvement of life level, and truly become a demigod!

Therefore, in order to make the action of hunting treacherous monsters simpler, clearer, and without wasting time, Klein risked losing the real soul body of the predator in the spiritual world to the little "sun".

Colin Iliad looked carefully for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and said:

"Should work.

"Close the lid, don't attach any 'spiritual wall', just take it with you, and see if you can attract them to the camp."

"They?" Derrick asked subconsciously.

There was a slight smile on Colin's face with several old scars:

"Do you think there is only one shapeshifter in North City?

"If it weren't for the level of this item not being enough, I'm worried that it will lead to even more terrifying monsters."

Derrick was ashamed for a while, scratched the back of his head, followed the chief's instructions, closed the iron-black square box, and stuffed it back into the hidden pocket inside his clothes.

During the following patrols, he was always on high alert, but he didn't wait for the attack of the shapeshifter.

After a while, Lovia, Lige, and Gunnarun took over their tasks, and Derrick sat back by the warm fire.

At this moment, the sound of wah-wah-wah sounded, and seven or eight crows with black feathers and red eyes flew over, circling in mid-air.

This brought an indescribable sense of terror. Colin Iliad pulled out his straight sword and looked up.

Suddenly, with a twitch in his heart, he quickly turned his gaze to where Derrick Berg was.

On the opposite side of the fire, two brown-haired teenagers who were nearly 1.9 meters tall and had childish faces on their faces were staring at each other in astonishment.

Colin narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately shouted:

"Shine!"

One of the teenagers was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that the pure and warm sunlight was released from his body one by one.

With a swipe, an afterimage flashed by, and the straight sword in Colin's hand sliced ​​through the false Derrick.

It was a shadow, a blurry and transparent shadow!

At the same time, a red-eyed crow suddenly fell from the sky, its body expanded and turned into a pitch-black shadow.

Above this shadow, there is a transparent one-eyed with a faint blue glow, and around the one-eyed are one after another eyes with the same characteristics but a few circles smaller.

Shapeshifter!

A shapeshifter that can disguise itself as a raven!

As soon as the pitch-black shadow landed, Derrick's head went numb for a while, and his body was as hard to move as if it had been petrified. He could only watch the other party pounce on him.

Snapped!

The shapeshifter crashed into an invisible wall, unable to make any further progress.

At the edge of the fire, Colin Iliad inserted the straight sword in his hand into the ground, and then pulled out the other one on his back.

The surroundings suddenly brightened, as if the legendary dawn descended on this abandoned land, and the endless rays of morning light burst out, forming an illusory ocean, counting the dark shadows and all the crows from bottom to top engulf.

At the entrance of the camp, behind "Shepherd" Lovia also appeared an illusory knight in silver armor over five meters tall.

A dark red flame was burning in the knight's eyes, and he locked on a position in an instant.

"He" stepped forward suddenly, and came several hundred meters away in a flash.

A series of sharp silver lights shot out, cutting everything around into neat small pieces, including all kinds of monsters hiding there, including those who escaped the fatal blow of the "demon hunter" with some kind of ability. , transferred to the shapeshifter here.

The monster still didn't die, it transferred its real body again, but the pure and clear dawn came again, completely submerging a large area.

When the dawn faded, Colin Iliad appeared there wearing a brown coat and holding two straight swords. He calmly watched a little bit of light condense on the cracked ground in front of him, and saw that most of it was evaporated. The black and red blood slowly spilled out.

It worked! Derrick was overjoyed, and quickly used the "spiritual wall" to re-seal the iron-black square box.

"Demon Hunter" Colin then plunged his two swords into the ground, took out three metal bottles that drank the potion, and filled them with the blood from the ground.

While waiting for the material to take shape, he said to Lovia and the others with his usual expression:

"The materials left by the shapeshifters are useful to me, and I want to exchange them directly."

In the City of Silver, there are generally two ways to deal with the harvest from this kind of exploration. One is to take it back, return it to the city-state, and exchange it for corresponding contributions, and distribute it according to the degree of effort. , you can exchange for equivalent items or contributions on the spot.

"I have no objection." Rieg and Gunnarune said at the same time.

Lovia did not speak, expressing her acquiescence.

After the return of the illusory silver armored knight, she turned her head and looked indifferently at Derrick Berg beside the fire.

…………

East Balam, inside the temporary office of the "Red Gloves" team.

Soest looked around and said to all the team members:

"Your Excellency 'Eye of the Goddess' asked us to investigate the sale of Extraordinary materials through the 'Hunter' pathway in the local and surrounding cities, as well as whether the corresponding Extraordinary disappeared or died.

"She agrees with Daly's guess, and suspects from the death of the Intis spy that it is the evil spirit of the 'Hunter' pathway.

"Of course, we can't ignore other abnormalities, after all, that's just a possibility.

"Another point is that we only need to collect information, and we don't need to worry about other things, and we don't need to investigate in depth. This is the order of Your Excellency 'Eye of the Goddess'!

"Do you remember?"

"Remember!" Cindy and the others responded.

Soest looked at Leonard and Daly, retracted his gaze, and said in a deep voice:

"action!"
