Chapter 309 Former Enemies

At the same moment, in another corner of the burning city of shadows, on a hill near the Lucas family’s residence, three figures were standing on a protruding rock looking at the smoke-filled city below. Two of them were A tall man with a tall figure, and the other is a petite and slightly thin woman. All three of them are wearing green and black long windbreakers, carrying a huge and exquisitely structured battle crossbow on their backs. The man standing in the front has short gray hair. , with several shocking scars on his face, and an eyepatch on one eye. His expression was stern, and he looked at the raging fire under the hill without mercy.

Another tall man standing next to him had a dark complexion and a bald head. He looked a bit like a black descendant from South America. He closed his eyes slightly, as if listening to the news from afar, and then opened his eyes to look at himself. The leader: "Elder Hasu, the attack on the west side has been contained."

"On the west side...is it the vampire group called the Hesiana family?" The one-eyed man known as Elder Hasu nodded, "That group of vampires seems to be a little different from the usual varieties, and seems a little troublesome?"

"They have deployed machine gun bunkers, tank guns, mines, howitzers, chemical weapons and poison gas traps, and all of the above weapons have magical effects." The expression on the dark-skinned man's face was strange, "We seem to be attacking a human being Fortress, instead of fighting vampires, those light and heavy weapons are very troublesome to deal with, there are too many. And the news from the front line mentions that those vampires can resist holy power, and the demon hunters' holy water and exorcism have almost no effect on them Effect."

Hasu's face was slightly surprised: "Resisting the divine power? I think of a very ancient elder... I hope she was not involved in this matter..."

"Who are you referring to?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it," Hasu shook his head, "It's probably not her. She's not a real vampire. She can't pass on the power of her blood to so many people. In short, increase the intensity of the attack on the west side. Those vampires may be in They have researched something during the thousands of years of hiding in the sanctuary, and they cannot be allowed to teach this result to other aliens."

"Is it necessary to destroy the entire city?" The female demon hunter who had been silent suddenly spoke. She was a girl who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. The most eye-catching thing was that she had a head of hair as white as snow. Her long hair and even her eyebrows were the same white color. She looked at the burning city below with a strange expression on her face, even mixed with a trace of imperceptible regret, "They haven't hurt anyone in thousands of years."

"Baihuo, put away your useless pity," Hasu looked at the white-haired girl with an indifferent but majestic look, "They killed more people thousands of years ago than you will ever know in this life. , they have been peaceful for thousands of years, but they just can't find the opportunity to cause trouble."

"I just think it's a pity that this city was destroyed like this..." The young demon hunter named Bai Huo quickly defended, "And there are at least a few civilians in the city, right?"

“When Mohenjodaro was destroyed, no one interceded for the civilians in the city, and neither did Knossos—the reason they were destroyed was simply because the sacrifices were not fresh enough, or there was a person in the city who was in the ceremony. I didn’t go to the temple in time to worship.” Hasu crossed his arms and looked at the fire in the city indifferently. “The creatures in this city and their entire race are not worthy of mercy. The only thing that happened here is shocking. What’s a pity is that they died two to three thousand years too late.”

Hasselblad's rebuke made Bai Huo lower his head and dare not speak. The dark-skinned man next to him silently glanced at the young disciple: "Bai Huo, you are the most talented demon hunter in history, but your only flaw is It’s this inexplicable compassion. Perhaps nature has a law that balances everything. It uses this useless compassion as the price of your talent. You must always be wary of this and don’t let this weird Your mentality affects your future.”

Baihuo bowed deeply: "Yes, remember your teachings, Master Tutanin."

Hasselblad frowned slightly as he listened to his long-time assistant educating the "prodigy" who was gifted but had constant problems. He knew that there were many "new generations" like Bai Huo who were curious about aliens and even had doubts about the mission of demon hunters. It was just that this girl was too outstanding, which made her stand out too much. The saints were aware of this a hundred years ago and conducted a secret statistics. They found that almost 40 to 50% of the demon hunters passed down to a certain generation had this phenomenon of wavering in belief. It takes about seven to eight generations from a witcher to a new witcher with problems. This phenomenon occurs so intensively in one or two specific generations, and occurs all over the world. Obviously, it cannot be explained by improper education or environmental factors. The reason is not external, but internal.

Maybe there is something wrong with the bloodline.

Or perhaps, as the heretic scholar who was executed last month said - a certain deviation in the bloodline is about to be corrected.

Hasselblad shook his head and no longer thought about these things that made him vaguely afraid. He had lived for too long, and certain things were as ingrained in his heart as truth. He was unwilling to believe it, or even to assume that these truths would collapse once possibility. But he also wanted to verify some speculations, so he took a huge risk and used his authority as an "elder" as a guarantee to make a deal with the evil aliens in this city. He wanted to see the new generation of aliens. Did a similar situation happen to him, but he was sorry, and of course he was probably very relieved to find that at least the shadow demons had not changed: the latest generation of shadow demons were still as greedy and cunning as their old ancestors, and they were very concerned about the members of their own race. Any living creature outside the world is extremely cruel and indifferent.

The bloodline of witchers is indeed fundamentally different from that of aliens. Even if the new generation of witchers begins to have some strange problems, this at least proves the purity of the bloodline of witchers.

As one of the oldest demon hunters, Hasselblad prefers to interpret the whole thing in this way. When the sinful city in front of him was burned clean and the sacred object was retrieved, this absurd farce And this ridiculous "verification" should come to an end.

"Elder," the man known as Master Tutanin suddenly interrupted Hasu's contemplation, "do you think that Shadow Demon has any sincerity?"

"No," Hasselblad shook his head indifferently, "They are not sincere, but they are at least valuable, and valuable things should be used as much as possible. This is the experience we have brought from the most difficult times. Sometimes..."

A hoarse female voice suddenly came from the side and interrupted Hasselblad's words: "Value... ha, you will be worthless soon anyway..."

Before he finished speaking, a scorching light curtain appeared out of thin air, and then a huge mace jumped out of the light curtain with mountain-shattering force and hit Hasselblad's head!

"boom--"

An impact that almost made the entire mountain collapse erupted, and the entire mountaintop was shrouded in a scorching light curtain and billowing smoke. Under the light curtain like the glow of the setting sun, the mountain rocks began to melt, and the plants evaporated instantly. Even the mud and sand turned into thick liquid and slowly flowed down. The figures of the three demon hunters instantly appeared in the sky. A layer of white light shield shone on their bodies, which finally offset the power of the scorching sun. Bai Huo's face was still filled with shock, while Hasselblad frowned as he looked at the female figure gradually emerging from the billowing smoke: "...Hesperius...I have long suspected that you are still alive."

"But you can live until today!"

An earth-shattering battle broke out. Bai Huo and Tutan Yin tried to help their superiors deal with this crazy woman who suddenly appeared, but they were soon entangled by the ancient ones who rushed out from other directions to attack.

After the end of the age of mythology, another confrontation between the ancient "gods" and the demon hunters began under such circumstances.

At the same time, Hao Ren, Hesiana and their group came to a strange place.

Theoretically, this place should still be the ruins located in another space, but the energy storm in the space has subsided, and the structure and scenery of the entire space have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

It seems that Beshemoth activated something in the ruins after escaping here. It may also be that the entrance under the Shadow Demon Castle leads to a deeper layer of the ruins that is unknown. In short, what appears in front of everyone is not the endless sea of ​​clouds and A temple floating in the clouds, but...

A desert.

Lily squatted on the sand dune and shouted to the sky: "Ouch - where are we going!"
