After passing through the back door of the bell tower, Fang Zheng and Big Chin, led by Maria, arrived at a dilapidated fishing village. It seemed that it had been abandoned long ago, and the walls of the houses were densely covered with barnacles. The strong fishy smell was nauseating.

Among the ruins, merman monsters with the upper body of fish and the limbs of humans were wandering around, holding weapons in their hands, trying to kill all invaders from outside.

But unfortunately, it's all useless.

These fishmen were unable to withstand the attacks of those hunters back then, so they were naturally powerless against the combined forces of Maria and Fang Zheng.

“I feel like a salted fish now.”

Seeing Fang Zheng and Maria waving their weapons and advancing as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, Big Chin, who was following behind them, completely became idle. He followed behind the two of them while talking to himself.

"Look, it's not that we don't want to fight, it's just that these two are too powerful, we definitely can't beat them. And the attack range of these two is very large. Look at the murloc wizard over there, it's about to cast a curse! What we have to do now is to dodge the curse and then use the burner to touch its mouth and then quickly dodge..."

“Swish!!”

But before Big Chin could finish his words, Maria raised the weapon in her hand and pointed it forward. Then a flash of blood flew past and directly pierced through the merman guard in front of the merman wizard along with the wizard.

"...Okay, this operation is of no use to us. Pay attention to the big fishman over there. The anchor in its hand is very threatening, like this..."

As Big Jaw spoke, a huge fishman on the other side roared and jumped out with an anchor in his hand, and then smashed the anchor towards Fang Zheng. But at the same time as the big fishman made his move, Fang Zheng's sword in his right hand also jumped and slashed, and the big fishman was instantly burned to charcoal with flames.

"…So we can see that this has no reference value at all…"

"What's wrong with him?"

Hearing the big chin mumbling behind her, Maria looked at Fang Zheng curiously and asked. Fang Zheng glanced at the big chin behind him and shrugged.

"Don't worry about it. He's just like that. He probably just has a bad brain."

"Another hunter driven mad by a curse."

Maria looked at the big chin who was following them and chattering with pity.

"Looking at his face, this is the result of a hunter who has been immersed in the blood of the ancient gods for a long time and has gone mad. Fortunately, he seems to still remember his duties... I also hope that he can be freed from this nightmare."

“I think he seems quite happy now.”

Fang Zheng turned his head and shrugged his shoulders as he watched the big chin holding a cane sword and a fishman holding a spear staring at each other. He saw the big chin slash the fishman twice with the sword, then quickly rolled and jumped away. But perhaps he misjudged the opponent's attack timing, so the fishman almost stabbed him in the face. The frightened big butt screamed and rolled to avoid the fishman's attack, and then fell into the dry well next to him with a "thump".

The fish monster was also stunned by this strange situation, then it immediately turned its target and pounced towards Fang Zheng, and was then burned to charcoal by Fang Zheng.

At this time, the man with the big chin poked his head out of the dry well again and waved at the two of them awkwardly.

"As a hunter, he is still unqualified."

Seeing this scene, Maria couldn't help but chuckle.

"But perhaps because of this, he was not completely corrupted by the nightmare... The duty of a hunter is a bondage and a curse. To be honest, seeing him reminds me of the past. At that time, there were many hunter rookies who joined with various ideas. Many of them would make mistakes on the battlefield, but... they had never been so... joyful."

Seeing the hunter waving his weapon after climbing out of the well, shouting "This is not my true strength, next I'll show you what I can do" and then going to fight another fish-man monster, Maria didn't know what to say for a moment.

Now she admitted that what Fang Zheng said made sense. This hunter might be mentally ill.

This is not surprising, after all, most hunters will gradually become crazy, but generally speaking, they will only become more aggressive, not like now...

"Let's keep going."

Maria retracted her gaze, sighed softly, and continued to walk forward with Fang Zheng. After killing the fish monster, Big Jaw hurriedly followed.

Led by Maria, they came to a cave deep in the fishing village. The fishy smell here was extremely strong. Not only that, but they could also see nearly a hundred people kneeling on the ground on both sides of the passage, with their heads lowered and their hands raised as if they were praying or begging.

Strictly speaking, these people are not human either.

Their faces have taken on a fish-like shape, with octopus-like tentacles growing on their chins, and their lower bodies have completely turned into a mermaid-like shape - of course, with their dark blue skin and skinny arms, this is not "cute" at all.

Maria led Fang Zheng through the passage and came to a coast. They could even see sunken ships in the distance, and in the sky, a sun that looked like an eye was emitting a dim light.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the corpse of an unidentified creature on the beach.

From a distance, it looked like the corpse of a large jellyfish or octopus. Because there was no bone support, the corpse lay on the shore like a piece of rag.

"That's Kos."

Maria stared at the body and her expression became somewhat sad.

"To be honest, we don't know much about it, but... its curse has become a nightmare for almost all of us."

“Gurgle…”

At this moment, as Maria spoke, Fang Zheng saw that part of the jellyfish skin suddenly swelled up, and then something slowly crawled out from it. It looked like a skinny humanoid with a pair of fins on its arms. Not only that, it was holding something that looked like a placenta in its hands.

I saw this monster just standing on the shore, looking at the sun in the distance.

"That is Kos's unborn child..."

Looking at the undead in front of her, Maria couldn't help but sigh.

"Honestly, I'm not even sure what we've done..."

However, before Maria finished her words, Fang Zheng pressed her shoulders and interrupted her. Maria looked up in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng, only to find that Fang Zheng's expression was a bit strange.

"Ms. Maria, you said you have been troubled. Are you doing the right thing?"

"……This is……"

"Then I can tell you now, maybe the motives of the Healing Church are not very good, but everything you have done has the result of protecting this world. There is nothing to be ashamed of in what you have done, and there is no need to regret it, because the things you killed are destined to be destroyed. I swear in the name of the Undead Corps that everything you have done is without any fault or sin."

"Why?"

Maria was stunned for a moment when she heard Fang Zheng's answer. She opened her mouth to ask something, but found that Fang Zheng was already holding a big sword in his hand and striding towards the Kos orphan on the beach. At the same time, a blazing flame once again burned on his black big sword.

"Come on, you scum of the abyss, let me take you back to that deep, dark place!"
