The next day, just like in Oriden, Lan woke up from the village elder's house.
But unlike Oriden where there are just water ghosts, there are evil beings in this village that can attract ghost dogs. Lan En didn't allow himself to do the memory dive as usual when he went to bed last night.
Early in the morning, before the sun was still high, Lan En had already packed up his equipment and walked onto the field that had been abandoned for two years.
This field is not far from the village. Even if you turn your head, you can still see the smoke coming from the village chimney, which is no more than seven or eight hundred meters away.
The presence of daytime demons at this distance would really scare the whole village out of their wits.
About half a kilometer in the opposite direction of the village, it is already the corner of the Brok Leon Forest.
"Okay, let me see"
Lan En's boots with external armor plates stepped on the dry and cracked field without any hesitation.
There was a crackling sound of dry soil being crushed.
The fields have been abandoned for two years. No one dared to cultivate them because of the monsters, but they have not become overgrown with weeds.
There is obviously no shortage of water here, and there is even a big forest not far away. But the fields seemed to be in constant drought.
"Supernatural power, no doubt."
Lan En murmured, first squatting down and pinching a handful of hardened soil, then stood up and looked around.
Beyond the field ridges are lush weeds.
He walked for a while and came to the corpse in the field.
This is the only victim, the widower. He died two years ago when the demon spirit first appeared, and until now no one dared to take the risk to collect his bones.
The corpses have been exposed in the wilderness for two years. Logically speaking, only the bones should be left.
But now, the dry and dehydrated muscles and skin clung to his frame, and the clothes and body tissues were in a state more like weathering than biodegradation.
If Lan En were to describe it, it would be as if it had just been dug out of a pyramid.
The dehydration technology of pharaoh mummies is not as good as this.
Lan En took out the dragon bone dagger with a calm expression and began to make "caracara" signs on the dry and crisp corpse.
"Myolysis occurred before death. He was forced to perform excessive exercise, which caused the muscle fibers to collapse. Will the demon dance to death?"
Valyria The steel tip seemed to lift off parchment, exposing the remains of muscle inside.
Lan En’s biochemical knowledge easily recognized the traces of muscle dissolution.
With various signs, Lan En is certain that the type of demon spirit entrenched here is the day demon spirit.
"Mentos, retrieve the monster information. I remember that the demon spirit will not be far away from his corpse during the day."
Lan En half-crouched in front of the corpse, but his But his eyes began to look at the ground around himLook for traces on it.
"Sir, day demon spirits are not trapped around their own corpses. According to the data, what keeps them lingering is the resentment left in the place of death. This is not necessarily a burial place. "But this must be the scene of the crime."
"Thanks for the correction."
Lan was satisfied with Mentos' correction in his mind. On the other hand, he was working hard. I want to use my extraordinary senses to see if I can catch the clues from two years ago.
Although this is a bit unrealistic, you must try it.
While Lan En was looking down, the temperature in the field began to rise, like boiling a frog in warm water.
The heat evaporating from the ground is entangled with the cold air in winter, causing the refraction of light to become distorted and blurred.
The vertical pupils of Lan En’s cat’s eyes began to narrow in the eyes that he originally lowered his head to search.
"噌"
A sharp sound of the blade being unsheathed. That was the sound of Lan En suddenly pulling out the Lake Lady's Sword from his waist, and then slashing horizontally towards the back.
The sound of rags flying in the air was then heard.
The figure floating in mid-air was slashed across the chest by the Sword of the Lake Lady in Lan En's hand, but because it was not in material form, it caused no effective damage at all.
So even though his reaction couldn't keep up with the speed of the knife, he still drifted away on his own.
After Lan En made a horizontal slash, he turned his body around and faced the floating object head-on.
It was like a half-burnt corpse pulled out from the fire, with tattered clothes and tattered body.
The hair seemed to be floating in the water, the entire chin completely disappeared, and the long and ulcerated tongue drooped out of the throat.
The Daytime Demon
After it fully appeared, Lan En actually felt that his mouth was starting to go dry in the windy winter.
"It's not that it couldn't be cut at all, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to hide just now."
If it were an ordinary demon hunter who saw the demon spirit in the daytime for the first time, he would see himself hit by the cut at this time. If it doesn't work after that, you may start to panic and lose your cool.
But Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly and he always remained calm.
Mentos combined with his own observation ability and quickly noticed details that were easily overlooked.
The demon spirit during the day seems to be incompatible with the material world. On the edge of its silhouette, the color of the surrounding scenery will turn into a vague gray-white.
It’s like a conflict of painting styles.
But when Alondette slashed across the chest, although the demon spirit in the day seemed not to care at all, the gray and white color suddenly disappeared in the trajectory of the long knife.
It has not been restored to its original state until now.
The evil-destroying properties of the Sword of the Lady of the Lake are not given in vain. It is just that it cannot be encountered on the material level, so it is a bit weak now.
“A flat slash can hurt it, but the efficiency is worrisome.”
Lan En quickly clarified the situation.
The day demon spirit, which had already lost its mind, was screaming and rushing towards the demon hunter.
Stepping sideways, Lan En nimbly dodged and avoided the direct attack.
By the way, after moving sideways, he quickly corrected his direction, holding Arondette in both hands and raising it above his head.
Wei Mingliu slashed with one stroke
The loud "bang" sound was the roar caused by the violent flow of air driven by the blade through swordsmanship skills.
But when it hit the demon spirit, it didn’t feel like hitting an entity. Instead, it made a whistling sound like a weapon being swung in the air.
The rotten female corpse floating in the air screamed with her throat missing her jaw, and her helpless rotten tongue flicked in the air.
A circle of almost transparent spherical sound waves centered on it and spread to a radius of three meters.
Within three meters, sound waves of this intensity can even cause physical damage. Three meters away, ordinary people would feel dizzy even if they just heard it.
And demon hunters are not ordinary people, they are created to deal with monsters.
"Arden's Seal"
Lan En stood outside the substantial sound wave, calmly sheathed the sword, and made a series of handprints on the ground with one hand.
The runes exuding violet magic aura emerged from the ground and formed a circle.
The Seal of Arden is similar to a magic barrier or trap. It can cause enemies in the circle to receive a stagnant effect, and force demon enemies to materialize.
The scream of the demon spirit has come to an end, and the Yarden seal just happens to trap it inside.
What originally looked like a body with poor TV signal reception now appears as a high-definition entity.
The demon hunter has already lowered his center of gravity, holding the scabbard with his left hand and holding the handle of the knife with his right hand.
The cat's eyes were nailed on the demon spirit's body, and he made a smooth sliding step on his feet, maintaining the ready posture of Iai Slash, and got close to it.
