Chapter 285 Unpacking

With a "ding" sound, treasure chests with images of demons wearing cloaks appeared in front of the demon hunter.

He glanced at the statue of Meliteli behind the translucent treasure chest and swept his eyes across it.

Eleven white lights, three blue lights, one purple and one gold.

Uh……

This probability of cashing out is considered quite good.

Ailin remembered that once he opened the treasure chests of twelve spirits, but didn't get a single gold-quality item.

However, I just got five gold coins from the treasure chests of five zombies, which is more or less a bit awkward.

The items to be opened appear from the light of the treasure chest.

The last gold-quality unboxing animation was nothing special, just the normal sword oil recipe style.

really.

[Obtain: Experience beads*11, Emerald dust*3, Evil spirit essence*1, "Enhanced Ghost Oil" sword oil formula]

Jump to inventory.

[Name: Strengthening Ghost Oil]

[Type: Sword Oil Recipe]

[Refining requirements: Alchemy LV4]

【配方：熊脂*1、鬼灵油*1、蚤缀*1、恶灵精华*1、槲寄生*1、狼肝*1】

[Function: Apply to weapons to greatly increase damage to ghosts]

[Note: You must be curious about what it feels like to hunt demon spirits with enhanced ghost spirits? ]

Not bad.

Another sword oil has been upgraded.

At the same time, the difficulty and cost of refining each bottle of sword oil are also upgraded.

But it's just right.

Next, if we find a way to use the Celestial Conjunction normally without being discovered by the Wild Hunt.

The one-eyed ghost who roared out those ambiguous last words was his next target.

But then again.

The witcher felt the heavy weight on his back.

If Balmer could function normally like last night, why would he need Ghost Oil or Enhanced Ghost Oil...

Unfortunately.

The next time I face the one-eyed ghost, I don’t know whether this “arrogant” sword will be willing to move again.

So alternatives are still important.

Although it was easy to use Balmer, he carefully observed and felt it when he was chopping. The strength and toughness of the one-eyed ghost spirit were dozens or hundreds of times greater than those of ordinary spirits.

It would be difficult to kill a one-eyed ghost spirit with ordinary ghost oil and silver sword, even with the help of [Demon Hunting].

There is even a high possibility that you will need to upgrade [Demon Hunting] several times to extend the duration of the Demon Hunting state.

"Why am I thinking so much now..." The demon hunter suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is still no way to block the spatial fluctuations of the intersection of the celestial spheres..."

After sighing, the demon hunter opened the inventory again.

[Inventory: One-eyed Ghost Spirit's Treasure Box*18, Ghost Spirit's Purification Spirit*626...]

The only thing left from last night's expedition is the treasure chest of the one-eyed ghost spirit.

"Praise be to the Mother of All Creation, goddess of fertility, harvest and childbirth, eternal maiden, mother, protector of the crone..."

The witcher prayed quietly.

You can be a little careless with the monster's treasure chest, and it's okay even if it's almost there, just consider it as a chance to increase the probability.

But the demon hunter could feel that this one-eyed ghost spirit was not as ordinary as the Water Ghost King and the Giant Swamp Fairy to the "Intersection of the Celestial Spheres - Ghosts".

There are the Water Ghost King and the Giant Swamp Immortal, although they are kings and immortals.

But just like in the previous life, every employee who comes out of the group office, even if they have just joined the company, will be called director by competitors.

And the one-eyed ghost...

Ailin had a feeling it was special.

Maybe I will never encounter such a monster again in the future.

"Withdraw gold...withdraw gold...withdraw gold..." The witcher muttered nervously in his heart.

I was planning to open it all at once, but after hesitating for a few seconds, I quietly changed my mind and only opened it halfway.

There's no harm in being cautious.

[Ding! The one-eyed ghost's treasure chest*9 is opened]

White, white, white.

The three consecutive white lights made Ailin's heart tighten.

I can't be that unlucky...

he thought.

Two more white lights.

The demon hunter's face darkened.

Followed by.

After a purple light, there were two blue lights.

Ailin felt a little comforted:
"I got a purple one, so these nine treasure chests aren't such a big loss."

next moment.

A dazzling golden light shot out from the one-eyed ghost spirit printed on the treasure chest.

It seemed to pierce right through the iconostasis room and through the clouds.

Shipped!!!
The witcher jumped up from the ground excitedly.

Rays of white light flowed again, revealing the contents inside.

Then there was a flash of purple light.

The scene in front of the demon hunter suddenly turned dark for a moment, and he came to a wide rain forest.

But perhaps because the items that opened from the treasure chest were only of purple quality, there was no sound, and it felt like watching a color silent movie.

The thick broad leaves slowly slid past my body one by one.

The owner of this perspective seems to be hunting something.

but……

Monsters summoned by the intersection of the celestial spheres. Generally, the treasure chests opened after hunting are related to this monster.

But this...

The witcher turned his head and looked around.

Although silent, the branches and leaves are green and thick, and the soil on the ground is dark and rich, even with a hint of oiliness.

There are also various smaller insects and earthworms hiding in the soil and bushes...

This vibrant, overflowing vitality, how could it be a place where a ghost-like creature should live...

or……

Is this the world where the one-eyed ghost lived before his death?
Just as the demon hunter was thinking carefully, the perspective in front of him suddenly shook violently and moved forward.

He could even simulate heavy breathing from the vibration of his perspective.

"This running speed is much faster than mine..." Ailin estimated, stroking his chin.

next second.

Clear the clouds and see the sun.

The broad-leaved forests were rapidly left behind.

A huge figure that looked like a Cretaceous velociraptor came into view, but there was only one.

The speed of perspective increased again.

A thick green rope was thrown out by the owner of the view, and it just happened to catch the dinosaur-like creature.

follow closely.

As the perspective changed from bright to dark, the witcher appeared on the back of the giant creature.

He was holding a rope tightly in his hand.

As the giant beast shook and struggled violently, the knot of the noose was constantly tightened.

Ailin had never seen such a wild and rough fight.

It is like returning to the ancient times when humans first appeared, using slash-and-burn farming, hunting and domesticating wild animals.

However, this fight did not last long, and the owner of the demon hunter's perspective seemed to be a very skilled hunter.

The giant beast was struggling for freedom, but the owner of the perspective was skillfully adjusting his posture along the direction of the shaking of its back.

The knot tightens every second without any lag.

In just two or three seconds, it was stuck in the giant beast's colorful dark scales.

Almost at the same time, the ancient green rope lit up with a white light.

The giant beast stopped moving instantly and fell to the ground.

The dark mud splashed into the sky.

Then there was a slide and the world turned upside down.

The owner of the perspective seemed to do a backflip flexibly, and after landing, he slowly approached the giant beast.

The cutscene also came to an end at this moment and disappeared from sight.

But before he could think carefully about the meaning of this cutscene, and why a world full of life and rainforests would be marked as the intersection of the celestial spheres - the demon spirit, a name that was incompatible with the scene of that world...

A brilliant golden light flashed.

"Hiss—Roar—" As the scene in front of him darkened, a familiar, violent and furious roar suddenly rang in the demon hunter's ears.

The next second.

A bright light suddenly flashed by.

When Ailin saw clearly from the light, he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

The rain forests disappeared.

The broadleaf forests, black soil, insects and earthworms disappeared.

All that's in front of me is yellow sand, endless yellow sand.

This scene completely overturned all his previous speculations.

The treasure chest opened by the one-eyed ghost spirit may not have much to do with the world where the one-eyed ghost spirit exists.

Or there is another possibility.

The prize pool of this treasure chest may be items, knowledge and skills related to all the one-eyed ghosts and spirits that exist in different worlds.

"Roar--"

A roaring sound came from under his crotch.

The witcher looked in the direction of the sound.

"Huh~"

The huge body, dark scales, and hard crown-like protrusion on the head...

Isn’t this the “Velociraptor” that appeared in the previous treasure chest animation and can only be tied up?

The demon hunter was startled.

There was yellow sand all over the sky in front of me, and in my ears there was the rustling sound of sand blown by the wind and the roars of wild beasts.

A desolate scene of the desert Gobi.

Ailin's mind was a little confused.

He stared down at the giant beast beneath him, and something even more shocking to the witcher occurred.

This behemoth is not only the same type as the one in the previous purple treasure chest animation.

It was the giant beast in the previous animation.

Ailin remembered it clearly.

Because of the huge force when the viewer stepped on its back when it was captured, a long row of scales on its neck were tilted to one side.

Although this giant beast seems to have grown a lot now, the scales on its body have also grown some hard keratin.

However, the position of the distorted scales and the curvature of the distorted scales have not changed much.

Exactly the same as the previous one.

"Hiss--"

Another roar interrupted the witcher's shock.

He looked around.

Gathered around the owner of the perspective are intelligent creatures that look similar to the one-eyed ghost spirit.

They look similar to Cyclops, with only one eye and tall stature.

But Ailin, who had dissected the "Old Spearhead", was able to tell that the two should be different species.

Except for the eyes, one has a normal human round pupil and the other has a snake's vertical pupil.

The demon hunter's keen perception can clearly distinguish that the number and structure of bones in the two are different.

Moreover, the body of this one-eyed ghost demon was covered with a layer of fine snake scales when it was alive.

If Ailin were asked to give them a name, he would prefer to call them one-eyed snake giants.

Each of the one-eyed snake giants rode on a giant beast, some similar to the one ridden by Erin, and some other strange and bizarre ones.

Scattered on both sides of the demon hunter.

There are probably nearly several thousand of them.

They seemed to be preparing for war.

"But who is the enemy?"

The demon hunter temporarily kept to himself the question of "why the scenes of the two treasure chests changed so drastically" and looked into the distance.

But the distance was hazy.

It was like a sandstorm and I couldn't see anything clearly.

and so……

"Are the enemies of these one-eyed snake giants natural disasters?"

The demon hunter shook his head and did not believe this guess.

It didn't take long.

"Hoo~Sha~"

The wind was howling and the sandstorm was getting closer.

"Click~click~"

Gravel had already begun to hit the bodies of the one-eyed snake giant and the giant beasts beneath them.

But the witcher still couldn't see what was ahead.

At this moment.

"H-ho!"

Ailin suddenly stared at the increasingly dark world ahead and let out a deafening roar.

With this roar.

A bright white light burst out from "him" and quickly spread to both ends.

next second.

Both the one-eyed snake giant and the giant beast beneath them suddenly became at least one-fifth thicker.

In the cold snake pupils, streaks of blood suddenly spread out and turned into a violent blood red.

"Roar--"

Ailin roared again.

"Boom boom boom~"

The ground began to shake violently and dust filled the sky.

The huge one-eyed snake giants rode their behemoths and began to charge.

They began to charge towards the "natural disaster" that was blocking out the sky in the distance.

This is clearly an invincible aura that can be felt just by looking at the picture...

At least after the demon hunter made an estimate, he wisely came to the conclusion that if he didn't use [Demon Hunting], he would not be able to defeat any one-eyed snake giant.

Even with [Demon Hunting], it is not certain that it can be defeated.

Especially after "he" let out that roar.

But now.

Although the demon hunter could not understand their roars, he could hear the tragic and heroic spirit and determination to die in them.

It was as if they were rushing towards an enemy that could never be defeated.

But I have to fight for some extremely small possibility.

and so……

"Who exactly are their enemies?" The demon hunter clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Then he tried his best to open his eyes wide, not daring to close them for even a second.

The azure cat's pupils suddenly expanded, gathering the light coming from far away, hoping to see the end of the misty sand and dust.

next second.

A flash of lightning appeared in the dust, illuminating a large group of huge black shadows.

Unfortunately, the demon hunter didn't get to see it clearly.

"Crack-"

Thunder roared.

Everything before my eyes returned to light.

Sunlight, holy images, green trees, birdsong, the fragrance of flowers...

As if he had just woken up from an intense dream, the witcher returned to the quiet and peaceful iconostasis.

"Damn it!"

Ailin unclenched his fist, then clenched it again and smashed it to the ground.

"Then...what exactly is it?"

Demon Hunter Notes is simply inhumane. How can the cutscene be interrupted like this when opening a treasure chest?
The demon hunter now felt itchy all over, and he wanted to open the treasure chests of the remaining nine one-eyed ghost spirits right now to see what happened next.

He had a very strong premonition.

The huge black shadow hidden behind the dust and fog must be very important to him.

But after taking a few deep breaths and calming himself down, he still held back.

after all.

He has not yet seen what came out of these nine treasure chests.

"Whoo~"

After letting out a long sigh, Ailin opened the Demon Hunting Notes with an intention.

"Let me see what you can come up with by doing this..."
