Chapter 102 Mystery
This mental attack didn't have much effect.
Klauen squinted his eyes and remained still. The halo on the weapon in his hand also disappeared, and he seemed to be still in a dizzy state due to the mental attack. He decided to make a move at the last moment and keep the demon bird leader forever.
He has a highly mobile, vindictive, and cunning enemy that is a thorn in his side.
His attention was unprecedentedly focused, and the demon bird's claws getting closer and closer were reflected in his eyes.
Only at this moment did he discover that the feet of the demon bird leader had completely turned into bird claws, with inverted bone spurs growing on the black claws.
Those ordinary demon birds still retain human physical signs. Could it be that the strongest ones must be the most thoroughly mutated? Seeing that the thick lower limbs of the bird were about to reach the head of the human who killed its own tribe, the demon bird leader showed a cruel grin on his face, and a hint of pleasure flashed in his eyes.
The man also stabbed himself in the abdomen, and with his recovery ability, the pain took a long time to heal the wound.
At this moment, the weapon in Crown's hand was raised, and it once again emitted a flaming orange-red glow.
At the same time, a silver light flew over from not far away from him, and the witcher also took action.
The two ignored the attacks from other monster birds and had the same goal, which was to go straight for the leader of the monster birds.
The claws of the demon bird leader have touched the man's head. It is excited. It can immediately lift up the enemy's skull and make a big hole in his brain.
Then, it lost feeling in that leg.
How could Clown use himself as a lure if he wasn't sure? He had roughly estimated the speed of the demon bird, and he had the bullet time buff, so he could react completely. This time he was not defenseless like he was at noon.
When the demon bird leader's lower limbs grabbed him, he gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and chopped away at the attack.
As it turned out, he was faster because he started later. As soon as the monster bird touched him, he had already cut off its entire leg.
The sharpness of the sword blade was superimposed on the sharpness effect of the basic swordsmanship. Clown felt that the weapon did not encounter much resistance and successfully cut off the legs of the demon bird.
Geralt's attack was quite effective. He jumped up and slashed. The demon bird dodged desperately, but its left wing was still cut in half.
At this time, the attack of other demon birds had arrived. They rushed forward like crazy, blocking the two men from causing further damage to their leader.
The two had to deal with the attacks of ordinary demon birds first. Each of their attacks could cause considerable damage to the demon birds. On the other hand, although the attacks of the demon birds were fierce, they failed to produce any results.
The demon hunter had more than a dozen wounds on his body, but Klauen's golden body protection had not been broken.
The limbs of the demon bird began to fall to the ground one after another.
"Woo"
A shrill cry was heard from the sky, and the remaining monster birds immediately flew high over the treetops and fled into the distance.
"This can fly too?!" Geralt looked at the leader of the demon birds flapping its wings quickly in the sky, feeling a little bit unbelievable.
When Crown saw many small monster birds flying out of the woods, he immediately took out his revolver and aimed at one of them.
"Bang"
The aim was right on the target's head, and the little demon bird flapped its wings twice and fell straight down.
. . . .
In the church and dissection room, several giant monster birds have been dissected.
At this time, Nick took a scalpel and cut open the little demon bird bit by bit. Crown stood beside him with a paper and a pen, recording the various characteristics of its body in detail.
It is only the size of a baby, and its face is somewhat similar to that of a human baby, but its skin is bluish and black, and it has four long, sharp fangs protruding from its mouth. It has pointed ears and is covered with dark gray fur.
In addition to the fangs, there are two rows of triangular sharp teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
His face was not as round and cute as a baby's, but rather had a natural cruelty and deformity.
After the autopsy was completed, Nick placed the trooper on the plate and began to organize the tools: "According to the results of the autopsy, these monsters similar to vampire birds are all female. Are you sure that the physical signs of other monsters are similar to these ones?"
"Confirmed," Klauen closed the notes and frowned as he said, "There are fourteen large demon birds in total. The leader is a Level 2 Transcendent, and the other half are about Level 1 Transcendent. Their physical features are clearly female."
"Then how do they reproduce?" The priest's face was full of confusion.
Hermaphroditism or asexual reproduction, Crown felt overwhelmed when thinking about the possibilities.
Fortunately, ten large demon birds were killed and their leader was also seriously injured, so there is no need to worry about attacks from the demon birds in the short term.
I hope those evil birds will not be stubborn and will learn to be afraid and migrate to other places.
These evil birds are obviously mutated humans. If one dies, there will be one less. But they can actually reproduce little creatures, so the situation becomes very serious.
There was no point in thinking too much, so Clown began to sort out the materials on the monster birds. Their fangs could be used to extract toxins, and their wings were soft but tough, even tougher than cowhide, and could be nitrated into leather armor.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After the monster bird died, its skin quickly became dehydrated and hard, losing its elasticity and had to be discarded.
He decided to keep one, big and one small, as specimens and destroy the rest.
Crown found a large wooden barrel for the garbage and quickly packed up. When he was about to carry the barrel out, he noticed that Nick had a frown on his face.
"You seem to be worried about something. What are you worried about? Those cultists?"
"No," the priest shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "I applied to the church for the second stage of the fire breathing method but failed."
"When did you apply? What was the reason for the church's rejection?"
"I released the pigeon the morning after the autumn rain stopped, and received a reply before you came back in the afternoon. The church's reason is that knowledge above the second level must be taught in large churches at the city level, and you need to undergo a soul purity test."
"Is this the normal procedure? Everyone needs to be tested?"
The priest shook his head. "Not everyone needs to undergo a soul purity test. I thought the current situation was dangerous and the church would make special arrangements, but it was still rejected."
"What does the soul purity test mean?"
In this world, souls really exist, but this is the first time he has heard of testing their purity.
"To check if the soul is deeply polluted. Some people are born with sharp minds and will be disturbed or bewitched by evil gods in their dreams, which will plant an evil seed in their subconscious. Usually, this person is normal, but if the evil seed is stimulated, it will be immediately replaced by an evil personality.
The church has developed a ritual specifically for testing the purity of the soul, which can be used to detect problems if someone is bewitched by an evil spirit."
"You are not a transcendent who has been trained by the church since childhood. People like you must undergo this test before you can obtain more advanced knowledge."
Small boats are afraid of wind and waves, and large ships find it difficult to turn. A large organization will always have various rules and regulations, which will affect work efficiency at some level.
Crown felt helpless, but also expressed understanding.
In this world where evil spirits roam, caution is very necessary.
