Aura Hunter

In the tangled and complicated forest, a team of fully armed men and horses is heading towards the depths of the cold wind pine forest.

The five people who took the lead were from the villages near the cold wind pine forest, and the one who followed at the end was Ye Chen, a young man from out of town.

Considering the uneven terrain of the pine forest, it was inconvenient for the old horse Heiqi to use his legs and feet, so Ye Chen let it move freely on the trail outside the forest, while he followed the local villagers on a hunt for cannibals 's journey.

"Lloyd, do you really want to let this strange guy of unknown origin join our operation? He doesn't even dare to show his face. I think there is definitely something wrong with this guy."

The hoarfrost who was ranked second in the front of the team glanced back at Ye Chen who was wearing a mask, and then quietly muttered to the leader of the team named Lloyd with a worried face.

"Even if he is a criminal who escaped from the Prison of White Frost City, he will never be on the side of the cannibal monster. We already have limited battle strength, so it is a good thing to have more strength at this time. ."

After listening to Lloyd's explanation, the worried companions had no choice but to put their suspicions aside temporarily and concentrate on finding the culprit who killed and devoured many villagers.

While everyone was on their way, Lloyd, the leader of the ape hunting squad, also briefly explained to Ye Chen his village and the situation of the ape eating cannibals. His attitude and tone were very enthusiastic, and he seemed to be very grateful to the man in front of him. Helper from the sky.

It turns out that the village of Lloyd's entire group is called Cold Wind Village, which is a self-sufficient farming land. However, due to the deep mountain forest, it will inevitably be threatened by the ferocious wild beast. To protect the safety of the village, a group of home guards like Lloyd who are proficient in hunting beasts were born.

The ice ape in the cold wind pine forest is the opponent that the guards of the cold wind village have dealt with the most. Food, just like ordinary apes, there is no threat.

But every year, a unique headed ape is born in the group of ice apes. This kind of headed ape is not only up to two meters tall, but also has terrifying and ferocious strength. , often attacking the villagers of Hanfeng Village for fun.

But even so, for many years, the guards of Coldwind Village have been able to keep the village by relying on their superiority in numbers and weapon technology, but...

The words said Here, Lloyd's expression suddenly darkened, and he seemed to be immersed in the bad memory, and some couldn't extricate himself.

"Just what?"

Under Ye Chen's reminder, Lloyd came back to his senses and rubbed his tired eyes.

"I don't know why, the head ape that appeared this year has undergone some changes..."

"It not only swelled to three meters, but also increased its strength extremely exaggeratedly. , and..."

"It's attack on Cold Wind Village has also become a hundred times more brutal, no longer just for fun as before, but simply to kill the village's It's like people ate them all..."

When the head ape different from the past appeared and attacked Cold Wind Village, there were a dozen victims immediately, and their fate was They were all chewed up by the head apes with their sharp teeth without exception, and then swallowed into their stomachs.

Not only that, the head ape's stomach swept away all the large and small creatures in the forest thoroughly, so that Ye Chen followed the guards to explore the cold wind pine forest along the way, it was covered with the leftover animal remains and carcasses.

This year's head ape, as if being manipulated by an endless appetite, has completely turned into a mad beast.

Half of the dozen or so victims killed in Coldwind Village belonged to the Guards, that is, Lloyd's comrades-in-arms. Lloyd was grieved and indignant when he remembered the horrified and desperate expressions on their faces before they were torn apart. Unable to control himself, he clenched his teeth. It seemed that he hated the man-eating beast to the extreme, and was desperate to avenge the victim.

The influence of the abyss, so that's how it is exaggerated...

Ye Chen fell into silence after hearing the tragic recent situation in Hanfeng Village.

He originally thought that the abyss was just a disgusting and viscous liquid like mud, but didn't expect creatures infected by the abyss to have many huge mutations such as stature and eating habits. It's like another form of nightmare effect.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen returned to the subject of hunting and asked Lloyd about the business: "So is the place we are going now the territory of that ape?"

"No, since the head ape has changed, the ice ape's territory has also disappeared, because the other apes under it... have been eaten by itself... once The ice ape den, now there are only ape bones all over the ground... and that monster is every day all wandering in different areas of the cold wind pine forest, constantly nibbling on other living creatures..."

Lloyd shook the head, explained.

"However, the leader of our guards, Ponson, is tracking it every day. A few hours ago, we saw the signal fire beacon ignited by Ponson in the village, and then we attacked in groups. , and now presumably as long as we follow the traces left by Pangson, we will see the beast soon."

Ye Chen looked at the trees around him and found that every ten meters There are fork-shaped patterns drawn by knife marks at the roots of the tree, presumably these are the marks left by the leader of the guards named Ponson.

At this point, Ye Chen doesn't say much, just prepares to fight at any time, and continues to follow the cold wind village guard squad into the cold wind pine forest...

An hour later, Lloyd led the crowd to a small hill in the pine forest, and looked at the suddenly broken root mark, his expression immediately became dazed.

"What's the matter? The mark is gone, but there is nothing nearby..."

"What is the boss doing? Could it be... He also suffered an accident?"

"No, the boss is very strong, he was impossible to be killed so easily!"

The guards who suddenly lost their way, Immediately infected with confusion and unease, they started talking at once.

Lloyd glanced around nervously, trying to find the tall back of his leader, while Ye Chen leaned over to observe the bumpy snow under his feet, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the surroundings a few times, and soon he was able to It was the discovery of several large, vague pits whose outlines resembled footprints.

"Lloyd, the head ape is probably in the vicinity, and the Pangson you mentioned may be finished."

Ye Chen whispered and pointed the straight knife. Quickly across the arm, the blood-stained blade burst into a faint fluorescence, exuding an extremely sharp cold air.

"What did you say...what?"

Roy German squeaked, and just at this moment, a member of his team suddenly shouted .

"Look, isn't this Ponson's hat!"

The entire group of the guards immediately gathered up when they heard the sound, and saw a hidden rock crevice in the hill. , turned over a gray wolfskin hat, the surface of which was stained with faint dark red blood.

"Ponson has been wearing this wolfskin hat every day for several decades, and it's impossible to throw it in a place like this... It looks like he's really been killed." Lloyd looked at the blood-stained hat, his eyes gloomy after all.

And just when the entire group of Cold Wind Village hesitated because of the sudden change, a loud sound suddenly came from the bottom of the hill.

Da, da, da.

At this moment, everyone felt an obvious vibration from the soles of their shoes, as if the whole hill was shaking violently, and all of this was caused by the arrival of some kind of creature.
