Under the leadership of a tall young man, the crowd quickly advanced through the rubble and saw some newly stepped on huge footprints, about the size of a bathtub, along the way. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of giant objects passed by here.
Dudian smelled the residual odor on the footprints, and through the tracking of this odor, he smelled the source of this strong and slow moving odor at a distance of about 25 to 30 miles.
The tall young man followed the footprints in the opposite direction and quickly advanced with Dudian and others. He stopped at a broken street and said, "Take a break, Dudian. Come and take a look at the map. We'll have to rely on you to track the corpse eater later
Upon hearing this, Dudian stepped forward to investigate.
In vain——
The tall young man suddenly turned around, pulled out a dagger from his hand, and fiercely stabbed Dudian's chest and heart!
This sudden change shocked Dudian greatly.
A sharp sound!
Dudian flew backwards and fell to the ground.
The tall young man was somewhat stunned, looking at Dudian's chest where the black hunting armor had been pierced, but... inside was extremely hard, like a layer of steel plate!
This sudden change completely stunned the female hunter, swordsman, and thief next to them.
Team, captain... "The female hunter was a little confused.
Dudian was horrified and looked at the tall young man in disbelief. In the next moment, he had only one thought, and his whole body suddenly turned cold. He quickly got up from the ground, turned around, and ran away!
This hunting mission is just a cover up!
Or rather, the target of the hunt is not the corpse eater, but him!
The tall young man saw Dudian running away and hurriedly said to the three swordsmen, "Catch him, this is the mission of the consortium, we must kill him
The three swordsmen looked at each other but remained motionless.
The tall young man didn't care to say much to them and quickly chased after Dudian. He thought he would explain to them slowly after a successful surprise attack, but now the attack had failed. If Dudian, a newcomer, ran away from him, it would be a big joke and would also anger the people above him!
Whoosh!
The tall young man ran at full speed, although he was a knight, his agility was no less than that of thieves and hunters.
Dudian felt the figure chasing closer and closer behind him, and was terrified. He was fighting against a mid-level hunter head-on, and he had no chance of winning. He quickly threw out his life bag on his back, although there were still explosive tubes inside, he didn't have time to ignite them, it was just a burden.
Run away!
Dudian ran wildly on the run.
Whoosh!
In vain, a gust of wind quickly swept over.
When Dudian heard the wind, he instinctively wanted to turn around to look, but a warning bell sounded in his mind, and he didn't care about looking back. He first hid to the side.
Although he dodged quickly, a piercing pain still came from his back, as if a truck had hit him from behind. His body involuntarily tilted forward and rolled several times on the ground.
At this moment, Dudian saw the tall young man quickly approaching and also saw the tip of the gun running from his back to his front abdomen.
Uh ah ah ah... "Dudian's eyes turned red, and he endured the excruciating pain. He grabbed the long spear with his backhand and pulled it out of his back with all his might, spewing blood and splashing it onto the ground.
Hmph! "The tall young man snorted coldly and quickly rushed towards Dudian, kicking him out.
Dudian suddenly rolled to the side, grabbed a handful of mud with his backhand, and threw it towards the tall young man's face.
The tall young man quickly raised his hand to resist, but missed a step. When he looked around again, Dudian had already gotten up and continued running forward.
Damn kid! "The tall young man gritted his teeth, grabbed the long spear that Dudian had thrown on the ground, aimed at Dudian who was running away, and threw it fiercely.
Dudian covered the wound in his abdomen, enduring the excruciating pain. Although he was running, his mind was always focused on what was behind him. When he saw the other person pick up the long spear, he immediately knew he was going to shoot again. He suppressed his fear and continued running in a straight line. Then, in a sudden moment, he rolled sideways to hide.
With a whoosh, in the moment he dodged, the long spear whizzed past him and shot into the distance.
Dudian's wildly beating heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth and ran towards the nearby street.
The tall young man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Dudian to suddenly dodge. He had seen him running in a straight line foolishly, thinking that this shot would hit him. Unexpectedly, the other party's actions were deliberately guiding him to misjudge!
Damn it!! "The tall young man reacted and immediately became angry and embarrassed. He stopped picking up his spear and quickly chased after Dudian at the corner.
Dudian felt excruciating pain in his abdomen. As he ran, something seemed to constantly leak out of his body, which made him feel terrified and forced him to cover his abdomen even tighter.
What should we do, what should we do! "Dudian felt a little uneasy. He knew that being caught up was inevitable. He had just used the opponent's gun drop to slightly distance himself, but the opponent was still an intermediate hunter, and he was too close to him from the beginning. It was impossible to get rid of him!
Whoosh!
The tall young man chased after him quickly, looking at Dudian running towards him with one hand covering his side and the other hand paddling the air. He was angry and a little scared in his heart. Such speed was not possessed by a newcomer, faster than many novice hunters and experienced hunters, and not much inferior to him.
The two of them ran on the mossy, waterlogged, and muddy streets, getting closer and closer. Soon, Dudian smelled each other's scent and was within reach three or four meters behind him!
Is this the end of it
A hint of despair flashed through Dudian's heart. In vain, he saw a puddle beside the road ahead. It was a collapsed street filled with accumulated rain, with fallen leaves and dark decay floating on it, and the water was murky and murky.
Dudian gritted his teeth and jumped.
With a splash, he fell into the puddle.
The tall young man reached out to grab the empty space and was slightly stunned. His body quickly stopped and his gaze darkened as he looked at the puddle, which only covered an area of seven or eight square meters. "I wanted to keep you a whole corpse, but I ended up finding your own death, taking advantage of this monster in the sewer
He looked at the water surface, waiting, and after more than ten seconds, a large amount of blood floated onto the murky surface.
...
Dudian plunged his head into the water pit, and his first feeling was icy cold. The pit was deep, and he quickly swam towards it, afraid that the tall young man would also jump down.
Not long after swimming, Dudian suddenly saw a black shadow quietly and quickly swimming towards him, with almost no movement of water flow during the swim.
Underwater monsters! Dudian's pupils contracted, and he immediately remembered that this was a sewer, now filled with water. There must be many monsters living in the sewer for a long time inside.
Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, the black shadow was about four or five meters away from him, rapidly swimming towards him like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
Dudian tried to open his eyes and felt a pain in the murky water, but he still dared not close them. Suddenly, he saw the appearance of the black shadow, which was a monster like a crocodile, with fish scales all over its body, an extremely long front mouth, and six sharp claws under its abdomen. It was estimated that it could tear a person apart in an instant when caught on the human body.
Dudian kicked his feet in the water, trying to escape in terror, but the opponent's underwater acceleration was too fast. With a forward thrust, he approached and fiercely bit Dudian's left leg with his large mouth covered in sharp teeth.
A sharp pain came from his left leg, and Dudian shook in pain, but the other person was biting tightly. Suddenly, he thought of the dagger next to his leg, quickly took it out, and bent down crazily to stab its head.
The dagger pierced through, causing the monster's tail to swing violently in pain and the surrounding water to surge.
Dudian stabbed wildly, and a large amount of blood floated out of the monster's head. Before long, the force of the opponent's tight bite gradually relaxed. Dudian quickly pried open its upper and lower jaws, pulled out its legs, and felt a suffocating sensation in his chest. Knowing that his time to hold his breath was approaching, he quickly looked left and right.
Quickly, Dudian found a hole in the wall and hurriedly swam over.
This hole is a drainage outlet leading to the sewer. Dudian pulled open several rotten steel bars that lay across the hole, which were easily broken with a light pull. Dudian immediately drilled into it.
The hole was facing upwards, and Dudian looked inside for a moment before finally surfacing. He couldn't help but gasp for breath and saw the surrounding environment clearly. It was actually a toilet covered in moss.
...
...
The tall young man watched as the water in the puddle surged rapidly, with a large amount of blood constantly flowing out, dyeing the murky water pale red.
At this moment, the female hunter and others chased after them, looking at the diluted blood in the puddle, and looked at the tall young man with suspicion, saying, "Captain, why is this
The tall young man turned his head to look at them and said indifferently, "This is a task from above, and it was issued by the Bloon family. Each of you will receive a sealing fee of one thousand gold coins. It's best not to leak today's matter, otherwise I won't be able to protect you either
The three female hunters looked at each other in confusion.
...
...
Dudian dared not break the toilet, as it was less than 20 meters away from the tall young man, which could easily startle him. He vaguely remembered that there were several dilapidated and collapsed buildings nearby, and he should have followed the sewer to one of them.
He breathed lightly, not daring to let his breath be too loud, his body still immersed in water, and his palm tightly covering his side abdomen. After soaking in water, he felt the wound on his back getting more and more painful, as if blood was constantly flowing out from inside.
After a moment, Dudian smelled the scent of the female hunter and others approaching, and immediately held his breath, sinking his head underwater again, afraid to make any movement, fearing that some of them had the ability to perceive and locate their position.
When he couldn't breathe again, Dudian carefully surfaced his head, controlled his chest to slowly draw in a trace of air, and alternated the gases in his lung lobes slowly. At the same time, he sniffed their scent and felt that they were still in front of the water pit. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and vaguely felt that it was still too dangerous here. He immediately took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and sank into the water, continuing to swim along the hole he had climbed up earlier, praying in his heart not to encounter any underwater monsters again.
Swimming against the walls of the sewer, although the light inside was dim, fortunately his vision was not affected by the darkness. After swimming for more than ten meters, he saw a huge water grass like monster still in the water, with its body fluttering like water grass.
The other party seemed to smell the bloody smell emanating from him and immediately swam slowly towards him.
Dudian was so scared that he quickly stopped, looked left and right, and saw a hole similar to the one before, immediately drilling inside.
After entering this passage, Dudian quickly swam upwards, and the position above the water surface was still a toilet. However, the toilet had long been smashed and the surroundings were flat. Dudian saw a decaying black skeleton lying not far away, and the ground was covered with decaying dust and some unknown monster feces.
At this moment, Dudian smelled the tall young man and others in front of the water pit, turned around and returned along the original path, seemingly concerned about the underwater monsters, and gave up jumping in to search. After all, Dudian was seriously injured and had blood on his body, and his hope of surviving underwater was almost zero.
Moreover, although these hunters often hunt monsters outside the walls, they are not familiar with the structure beneath this ruined city.
Dudian quietly felt them walking away, and his tense heart relaxed. At this moment, he felt a pain in his foot, followed by countless cold and soft things entangling around him, climbing along his legs and wrapping around his upper body.
When Dudi was settling in, he thought of the underwater monster that looked like water grass, and was so scared that he quickly crawled out of this toilet.
Although the area under the toilet is small, the surrounding ground has been soaked in water, and the concrete has already rotted. With a strong push from Dudian, a hole was created.
He crawled out with great strides and looked back, only to see the tentacles on this water grass like monster resembling green snakes, with sharp mouths open at the top, nibbling on his own body. Fortunately, the hunter's armor blocked it, preventing it from being bitten too severely.
Dudian felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and grabbed the dagger to stab wildly.
The monster was in pain and its green snake like touch bit towards Dudian's face.
Dudian quickly waved the dagger and cut it off.
The monster screamed in pain, and its body wrapped around Dudian suddenly retracted. Its body slid and crawled into the water pit at the toilet, and the blood at the fracture floated on the surface of the water.
Dudian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it scared away. He dared not stay here for too long and carefully crawled out of the collapsed building.
We must go and treat the wound as soon as possible. "Dudian felt severe pain in his thighs and back, his face was ugly, but he didn't dare to stay nearby for long, so as not to suddenly turn back.
He took off his hunting armor and threw it into the standing water on the roadside. Then, he took out a soaked gauze from his first aid kit and wrapped it around the wound. He found some vines and green leaves, crushed them, and pasted them on top to mix the plant juice with the bloody smell and suppress the spread.
Then wash the bloodstains off the hunter's armor, apply mud on it, and wear it on. The smell of rotting mud wafts from all over the body.
We must leave here as soon as possible. Once we are targeted by some large monster, we are doomed, "Dudian felt extremely nervous. The concealment of the scent was only a relative increase in safety, but in front of some super hunter monsters, this disguise was pale.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.
At the boundary of Zone 2, Dudian appeared here, and from the surrounding buildings, one could vaguely see the flag of the Mellon Foundation and the emblem pattern of fuel spraying on the ground, symbolizing that this was the domain of the Mellon Foundation.
The front is Zone 6, from which you can go to Zone 9
Dudian crossed over from a flag, covered his abdomen, and limped into Zone 6. In the past two days, he had hardly dared to clean his wounds, and all the first aid supplies on his body had been soaked in disaster water, rendering them ineffective. Only some hemostatic drugs in bottles and jars had some effect, but the wound was too severely infected by the disaster water and had rotted, requiring the bandage to be cut off.
And cutting off the ulcerated tissue also means there will be a bloody smell.
In such a dangerous area as Zone 2, Dudian could only endure the wound rotting little by little, hoping to return to the cleaned Zone 9 as soon as possible, which was the nearest safe zone to him.
I didn't expect that his purpose was to kill me, not to test me
As Dudian hurried on, his heart was filled with pain and sadness. He thought that his father-in-law, who had never covered his face, was truly merciful and didn't mind his commoner status as Jenny said. However, he didn't expect that he was too naive and overestimated his own value.
In the other person's eyes, he may just be a humble little bug, how could he allow such a bug to drag down his daughter?
Jenny probably didn't know about this... "Dudian recalled Jenny's happy appearance before leaving. From her every move, it was obvious that she was also kept in the dark, which made him feel much better in his heart.
Before returning to the wall, one must quickly enhance their own strength, otherwise they will be secretly assassinated by the assassins sent by the consortium. Even the court cannot help them, and at most the consortium will compensate one assassin, "Dudian secretly said in his heart." As long as you are careful of his scheming, even if he is a nobleman on the surface, he has no right to kill me. After all, the court has executed many great nobles in history, and he dare not take such a risk
I will elevate my position as a divine official and take Jenny far away, "Dudian secretly calculated.
Thinking of these, Dudi wanted to urgently enhance his strength when he settled in. The first thing he thought of was the cold crystals collected in Zone 9. The only way to quickly increase his strength was to absorb them!
