Oring Hunter

"Yechen, don't be impulsive, calm down."

"I can still suppress the growth of these abyssal substances and maintain my rationality, so I still have the energy to help you three young people return to the Holy Light Pure Land."

"So, you don't need to do it for the time being."

After listening to Kangu's words, Ye Chen's expression suddenly became more shocked, and he questioned deeply incomprehensibly:

"Mr. Canggu..."

"You... have already noticed all this, haven't you?"

"Then...why didn't you tell me about this right away...why did you take countermeasures on the spot when you were not in Jiangdao..."

"You obviously have a chance to save yourself, and I obviously have a chance to help you..."

"We had a chance... to prevent the situation from developing to this point..."

Having said that, Yechen hesitated for a few seconds, and finally turned the confusion in his heart into full of anger, and he sternly reprimanded Kangu.

"But, Canggu, why are you keeping this from me—!?"

Chapter 0284 The reason for concealment

Facing Ye Chen's speech full of outrageous anger when he called his name directly, Kangu's expression didn't show annoyance, nor did he show timidity. Instead, there was only a smile full of relief and emotion.

Kangu understood that the reason why the always calm junior in front of him became furious at this moment was proof that he cared about his own safety.

Ye Chen respected the senior Canggu from the bottom of his heart, and naturally he didn't want to see something happen to Canggu, and hoped that he and Canggu could return to the Holy Light Pure Land and the Hunter's Peak safely.

Because of this, he was extremely angry at Canggu's behavior of concealing the fact that he was infected with the abyss until now.

Now, since the core of the abyss on Kangu's neck has a three-point prototype, it means that his spirit will soon be controlled by the abyss, completely annihilating humanity.

On the surface, Canggu's state is countless times better than Yechen, Firona, and Errigat.

As a result, in fact, he has already walked in front of everyone, and is about to become a puppet of the abyss, a public enemy of all Olympian hunters, and even all living beings...

Thinking of this in his heart, Yechen's face was filled with incomprehension, grief, and regret, and his hands, which were holding the long handle of the crescent moon knife tightly, trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at the faltering posture of the bloodsmith hunter, Kangu's eyes dimmed a bit, then he reached out and touched the black mud on his cheeks, and through the power of his fingertips, he suppressed them back to the core of the abyss around his neck again internal.

"Yechen..."

Afterwards, he raised his face again with a bitter smile, and explained the real facts to Yechen in a calm tone.

"Actually, I took the initiative to accept the abyss."

Hearing this sentence, Yechen was stunned, and his whole body froze again.

Kangu turned around slowly, focusing his sight on the rushing river in front of him again, so as to control Tao Gui more precisely, leading the hunter team to continue approaching the fog wall of the maze at the far end.

"Cangu... sir..."

Staring at Kangu's back, Yechen was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a suspicious tone.

"Why... are you doing this?"

With his back turned to Yechen, Kanggu calmly gave the answer.

"If I don't, Firona and Errigat are dead."

"As for the rest of you, you have to rush back to the Holy Light Pure Land with me, a half-crippled uncle, in a state of being seriously injured to the point of coma at any time when two of your companions have died one after another."

"Just like what you said not long ago, under such circumstances, if any monster on the same level as the acid-etched salamander appears on the road, we will all be wiped out, and no one will be able to go back alive."

After listening to Kangu's narration, Yechen's face changed drastically instantly, as if he had sensed something, he fell into a state of dumb speech, unable to speak a word.

Seeing that Yechen fell silent, Kangu sighed helplessly, and then made a request to the junior behind him:

"Yechen, next, I want to tell you a story about me, it won't be too long..."

"If I can't control further mutations in the future, you can hack me to death on the spot."

"This is my last wish as a dying person..."

"So, please just hold the knife and listen to me chatting."

"is it okay?"

After Kanggu's words resounded in his ears, Yechen's brows and eyebrows were immediately tangled together because of sadness.

He looked at Kangu's short and straight back, and at the trembling blade in his hand, finally bit his lower lip with sweat profusely, and with the same trembling tone, he forced out the knife. Character.

"it is good……"

When Kangu heard the words, he smiled faintly.

Then, he began to tell a story.

……

Once upon a time, there was a pottery puppet hunter who passed the 1987 graduation assessment of the Hunter Academy, joined the top industry in the Holy Light Pure Land, and obtained his own nameplate title - pottery puppet hunter.

At first, the puppet hunter was very happy and excited. Like all new hunters, he was full of expectation and passion for the future hunter life.

However, in the following period of time, the career of the pottery hunter did not go smoothly.

Because the activation conditions of his natal arcane art are very harsh, clay puppets need to be hand-made in advance and dried with specific equipment before they can be manipulated. Therefore, the pottery hunter needs to consume a lot of energy before performing a task. with practice.

And even though the activation conditions are so cumbersome, he has not received obvious rewards, because the weight of puppets that pottery hunters can carry is limited. Once these pottery puppets are damaged due to various situations in the maze, then Tao Even if the Puppet Hunter has the crafting materials, he will have no chance to dry them and will lose his ability until he returns from the mission.

As a result, Tao Puppet Hunter's comprehensive strength as an Olympian Hunter was severely restricted, and he could only execute various short-term missions. Moreover, because of his weak frontal combat ability, he encountered countless white-eyed and angry colleagues. left out.

For his "mediocre" status, the puppet hunter has been immersed in depression and low self-esteem for a long time, and this situation has not improved even after he entered the third level of nightmare.

Therefore, the Tao Puppet Hunter began to consider whether to simply choose to retire and honestly live a simple life suitable for a mediocre man like himself.

However, just when he was about to choose to give up, the pottery hunter accidentally saw a third-order labyrinth relic, "Memory Clay", which was a pair with his own natal arcana in the relic hall on the top of the hunter.

After signing the contract with it, the Tao puppet hunter's career as a hunter ushered in a major turning point.

Memory clay can be temporarily changed and shaped according to the owner's thoughts, and at the same time can be dried and softened autonomously. It also has various functions such as hemostasis and healing, and fabricated organs.

And with the help of this labyrinth relic, Tao Puppet Hunter's natal arcane technique suddenly became extremely flexible. Although it would not make his strength skyrocket to the level of a genius, no matter what, Tao Puppet Hunter could catch up with him. On the level of the large army.

Therefore, the pottery puppet hunter who got such a treasure continued his career as a hunter, continued to enjoy his hobbies, and shuttled repeatedly in the ever-changing world of the Olympian Labyrinth.

Although after that, he didn't face the fourth nightmare again, and he still didn't get rid of the relationship with the word "mediocrity", but the pottery hunter is also open-minded and content, he is already very satisfied with his current life, and has nothing else to ask for .

However, when the pottery hunter reached the age of 30, a major hunter commission issued by the hunting group with the four red letters of hunting the abyss in the title changed the mood of the pottery hunter forever. , leaving a scar that can never be erased...

Chapter 0285 Pottery Doll Hunter Canggu

Before accepting this commission to hunt the abyss, the 30-year-old Tao puppet hunter had already had contact with the abyss several times.

Personal experience tells Canggu that all species that are related to the abyss have life regeneration that is so tenacious that it is very difficult to deal with, and it will also have a strange spiritual impact on the humans who fight with it. The extremely terrifying existence is indeed the most dangerous type of biological group for Olympian hunters.

However, although the creatures of the abyss are as strong as nightmares, the hunters who responded to the maze and gained the power of the arcane are not weak, and they are completely capable of fighting.

Before this hunter commission, the Tao puppet hunter successfully completed other hunting commissions related to abyssal creatures through orderly teamwork.

Therefore, although Canggu will inevitably have psychological resistance to the stubborn and difficult side of the abyss, but with several successful experiences, he initially had sufficient confidence, and then as a senior, he led the other five young men arranged by the hunting group. Hunter, started the routine process of gathering, communicating, and setting off.

After that, the hunter team with a total of seven people went to the border location assigned by the hunting group, went deep into the fog wall of the maze, looked for traces of the prey contaminated by the abyss, and successfully completed the hunting plan.

However, just when everyone thought that it would be a matter of course, they turned back to the Holy Light Pure Land, and then camped in the mountains for the night, gathering together to laugh and talk.

A thing that no one could have dreamed of...happened.

In an instant, the ground began to shake and the mountain began to shake.

Under the moonless and starless night sky, among the six pairs of bonfires and terrified pupils, I saw a huge shadow that was already facing the night, approaching the people around the bonfire at the pace of shaking the earth.

The original species of the abyss, the abyss titan, fell from the sky through some unknown means, and appeared at the end of the hunter's field of vision.

After seeing this giant abyss beast that only people in the fifth-level nightmare realm could match, the six Olympian hunters who were in the triple-level nightmare realm immediately chose to flee the scene.

However, the abyss titan waved its arm that was as high as the mountain, and hundreds of labyrinth creatures contaminated by the abyss poured towards the hunter team like a violent storm, displaying hideous forms one after another. Their faces surrounded them heavily.

Although the Olympian hunters reacted immediately and fought bloody battles with the abyssal herd through teamwork, they were ultimately powerless to resist the overwhelming number and change the hasty and cruel reality in front of them.

It was a brutal and bloody massacre.

In the blink of an eye, all five veteran hunters died tragically at the mouth of the abyss, drowning forever in the endless black mud with desperate faces.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Canggu, the most senior in the team, finally lost to his own fear and survival instinct. Seeing his companions being defeated step by step, Canggu took advantage of them to attract the attention of the abyss group, and carried the A wounded and unconscious female junior rode on a pottery puppet and fled the scene at the fastest speed in her life.

In the end, the pottery hunter and his companions successfully fled back to the Holy Light Pure Land, and informed the upper echelons of the hunting group of the situation.

Afterwards, even though the hunting group dispatched several "Extreme Hunters" to slaughter all those abyssal groups, even though the pottery hunters were not punished for abandoning their companions under extreme circumstances, on the contrary, they died in the hunter sanatorium. I enjoyed a careful treatment inside, but Kangu still left a wound in his heart.

Until the female junior brought back by him recovers from injury, and then, full of grief and indignation, she complains tearfully that Kanggu abandoned her beloved partner because of greed for life and fear of death, and then chooses to kill herself in the apartment, The spiritual scars of the pottery hunter became more unforgettable.

Since then, Tao Puppet Hunter has never accepted any tasks related to the abyss, but the miserable appearance and hiss of his companions begging him for help before they died will always appear in his memory inadvertently. mind.

Even after 20 years, Tao Puppet Hunter still has no signs of healing from his heart disease. It has been stimulating his spirit day and night, regardless of the occasion, making him immersed in guilt that cannot be dissipated. The pain is extremely painful and he cannot extricate himself from it. .

Then, today's encounter with Acid Erosion Tyrannosaurus can be said to have dragged the hell in Canggu's heart to him again.

After blocking the self-destruction of the abyss monster head-on, the Tao puppet hunter's consciousness fell into a short coma.

In the dark, countless ghostly whispers of the abyss echoed in his head, trying to persuade the puppet hunters to give up their resistance and join them to accomplish the great cause of the abyss.

Of course, the Tao puppet hunter's subconscious chose to resist desperately. For a while, the spiritual erosion of the abyss did not succeed.

However, when the acid-etched salamander put the puppet hunter in its mouth after it had molted its skin, the pungent fishy smell gradually brought his mind back to reality.

Then, the Tao puppet hunter relied on a gap in his eyelids to see Iron Fist Hunter sacrificing himself and throwing him and the Lip Gun hunter out of the monster's mouth, and saw the Lip Gun hunter standing in front of him, bravely facing the monster. The enemy, and then fought with the monster to a tragic end with both casualties.

Looking at the young girl lying powerless in front of him, looking at her neck that was crazily gushing blood, and her face that quickly faded away.

At this moment, Kangu's heart was twisted like a knife.

The scars deep in his consciousness were ruthlessly torn open, and the faces of the five young hunters who he led 20 years ago but died in the end reappeared in front of his eyes.

Canggu, I don't want to see any young junior die in front of me, especially if I die for him.

Puppet hunter, I don't want to see this kind of tragedy happen again.

However, at this moment, his body was almost half disabled, and he couldn't even move a finger, so he couldn't extend a helping hand to the young junior.

Faced with such a situation, the pottery hunter finally made the most difficult decision.

As a hunter opposed to the abyss, he took the initiative to accept the abyss spiritually.

However, the moment this connection was established, Canggu condensed the remaining power of the abyss, suppressed the abyss matter between the wounds, and suppressed their efficiency in condensing the abyss core to an appropriate level. , so that he can maintain most of his sanity while quickly recovering his physical strength.

Next, Canggu, who quickly recovered from the wound with the power of the abyss, immediately activated the relic effect of memory clay to temporarily create a carotid artery for Firona, saving the young man's precious life, and then went to Eriga By his side, he made earthen skin all over his body, continuing the wonderful life of this young man.

In this way, except for Canggu, all members of the hunter team were saved.

This time, as a senior, the pottery hunter did not neglect his duties this time.

Canggu, at the cost of his own future, saved the survival of the younger generations.

Chapter 0286 Satisfaction and Redemption

When Kangu said this, his whole body twitched suddenly.

In the next second, the abyssal substance that was suppressed back into his body by him sprung up from the back of Kangu's neck like mushrooms after a spring rain. In the form of several small, dark tentacles, it began to swing wildly under the wind and waves. .

At the same time, Tao Gui, who was carrying the hunter team, also became hasty and chaotic in his swimming movements. He couldn't help shaking for a while in the surging river waves, almost throwing the group of people on the turtle's back into the water.

Seeing this, Yechen's eyes changed drastically, and he quickly leaned over to hold down the stretchers of Firona and Errigat, and soon found that the ceramic tortoise shell under him was bursting with countless cracks, as if it was about to collapse.

Seeing the changes in front of him, Ye Chen instantly understood that Kangu could not stay awake for long...

Puppet hunters will soon be completely reduced to the minions of the abyss.

With this in mind, Ye Chen immediately raised his face.

I saw that Kangu, who was sitting at the front of the turtle shell, began to emit thick black air uncontrollably.

However, even so, this short figure is still struggling desperately, resisting desperately, not letting his spine be overwhelmed by the abyss, and struggling to hold on to his humanity.

"Well……"
