Chapter 34 Killer Lake (Thanks to the monthly tickets from book friends "Xie Yu Cheng Shi", "Li Cheng Zhu" and "Tian Yuan Feng Hua")

After confirming that the water ghost whistle was the masterpiece of the bloody red fox, Vesemir followed the advice of the witcher apprentice and came to a long and narrow lake.

It was noon and the sea was calm.

Aelin walked to the shore.

The gentle breeze couldn't even create wrinkles on the lake surface. Against the backdrop of green grass and trees, the mirror-like surface of the lake reflected the blue sky and white clouds.

Peaceful and tranquil.

"It's a good place to let go of all worries." Ailin thought.

The witcher apprentice took a long breath, and the fresh air with the fragrance of grass and trees went straight into his lungs.

The vague anxiety in my heart faded a little.

In this leisurely mood, Ailin asked: "Master Vesemir, doesn't such a beautiful place have a name?"

Perhaps because he had seen it so many times, Vesemir was not moved by the scenery here. When he heard Arryn's question, he answered casually:

"Killer Lake."

"You can call it that if you like."

"Killer Lake?" Aylin repeated.

Why does such a beautiful place have such a murderous name?

Confused, the demon hunter apprentice asked directly, "Why is it called this name?"

Vesemir was silent for a moment, sighed, and said:
"This is the starting point of the Alpine Trial."

Hearing this, Ailin subconsciously turned his head to take another look.

The scenery was still the same, but in Ailin's eyes, it was no longer as peaceful as before.

A strong murderous intent and the breath of death seemed to be hidden beneath the calm lake water.

“According to what you say,” Vesemir said, breaking the silence, “this is the best place I can think of to use this flute.”

Just now, after the witcher admired the exquisiteness of the water ghost flute and the well-deserved reputation of the sorceress, he excitedly asked where to use this magic prop, just like a child who got a new toy.

"Of course, the more water ghosts there are, the better."

This was Ailin's answer at the time.

in fact.

Vesemir had picked a good place.

There is no better place to stay near Kaer Morhen.

However, is it really legal to bring apprentices to the trial site in advance?
The witcher apprentice glanced at Vesemir.

There was no expression on the Master Demon Hunter's face.

After a moment's hesitation, Arlin pulled out Elsa and nodded to Vesemir.

"Here, then. And...thank you...Master Vesemir."

The witcher master did not respond to the second half of Arlin's words.

He raised the water ghost whistle and shook it gently according to the method taught by the witcher apprentice.

“Quack~Quack~”

A sound similar to that of a water ghost came from the cylindrical whistle.

It's not loud.

After shaking it twice, the Demon Hunter Master stuffed the water ghost whistle into his chest and pulled out a silver sword from his back.

This is a silver sword used by apprentices for training.

About half a minute passed, there was no wind or waves, and the surface of "Killer Lake" was still as smooth as a mirror.

Did it fail? The demon hunter apprentice couldn't help but wonder.

Will defective items be found in the Demon Hunting Notes box?
This is a blue quality item.

Another minute passed.

Even Vesemir glanced at Arryn with some suspicion, put his hand into the cotton armor, and was about to shake it a few more times.

In his heart, Ailin cursed the Demon Hunter's Notes for being inferior and held Elsa awkwardly, not knowing whether he should sheathe his sword.

At this time, the wind seemed to be blowing on the lake.

The emerald green mirror surface suddenly began to ripple, moving in circles from a far distance towards Ailin and the others.

Ailin was stunned when he saw this.

Then he saw Vesemir's hand reaching into the leather armor and pause.

The Demon Hunter Master looked at the ripples on the lake, as if observing something.

A few seconds later, Vesemir's face suddenly changed.

He grabbed Ailin, who was still in a daze, and ran in the opposite direction of "Killer Lake".

The witcher apprentice was about to ask when he heard Vesemir shout:

"Run!" "Run towards the mountain, quick!"

Hearing this, Ailin quickly stamped his feet on the ground and followed the demon hunter master's back, running deep into the forest.

Seeing Vesemir so anxious, the witcher apprentice vaguely realized something and turned his head to glance at him.

The moment the ripples touched the lake shore, they were shattered, intertwined, and eliminated.

Arryn had never seen anything like it.

The originally mirror-like calm lake surface was covered with bright red fish fins in the blink of an eye.

The clear light green lake water also turned blue.

This is a different color from the blue of the sky and the sea.

It is three-dimensional, shadowed, and spotted.

It's uncomfortable, sickening, and mind-numbing.

“Quack~Quack~”

The noisy sound, in a few seconds, went from faint to loud and finally to deafening.

Groups of water ghosts, stacked on top of each other, emerged from the water, climbed up the lakeshore, and rushed towards the running Vesemir and Arryn.

No need to ask the Demon Hunter Master.

Ailin was fully aware that if he couldn't outrun the monster behind him, he wouldn't have to worry about the mountain trial anymore.

"Alin! When Ms. Vera gave you the prop, didn't she tell you anything to pay attention to?"

The Master Demon Hunter did not look back.

The strong wind rushing past his ears brought him shock and confusion.

The witcher apprentice could only barely keep up with his speed thanks to Vesemir's hand holding his collar.

Ailin, concentrating on the terrain below, jumped over a shallow pit and dodged the branches of a tree that suddenly appeared...

He had no energy to answer Vesemir's questions.

The Demon Hunter Master didn't need Alin's answer. He was just so shocked that he had countless questions in his mouth that he couldn't help but ask.

"Fuck!"

A loud shout.

Hearing Vesemir's rare sweet words, Arryn's heart skipped a beat and he almost tripped over a stone.

"Master Vesemir, what's wrong!" the witcher apprentice shouted.

"Shut up! Follow closely! Watch the road!"

Before he could think, Ailin saw the figure in front of him suddenly turn.

In shock, the witcher apprentice was dragged by a huge force from his collar and his feet left the ground.

In the blink of an eye, it drew an arc and landed smoothly.

Without waiting to catch their breath, the two men quickly ran towards a valley.

……

Soon, Arryn and Vesemir moved to a cave.

This cave seemed to be a dead end. Although it was well ventilated, except for the entrance through which the witcher and his apprentice came in, it was surrounded by solid stone walls.

Even the narrow entrance can only accommodate two people.

“Huff—chi—huff—chi—”

Arryn was bent over, his silver sword tightly clenched in his hands, breathing like a broken bellows.

Vesemir ran so fast that Arryn had no time to sheath Elsa's sword.

"Alin, are you okay?"

The witcher apprentice took two deep breaths and shook his head.

"Master Vesemir, I'm fine..."

With the light coming in from the cave, Arryn looked up and saw that Vesemir was not out of breath and his face was only slightly redder than usual.

It seemed as if the intense run just now was just a warm-up exercise.

The demon hunter master stood in the middle of the cave with sword in hand, his eyes staring straight out.

About two minutes passed.

Ailin let out a long sigh, stood up, sword in hand, and stood side by side with Vesemir.

At this time, noisy sounds of "quack~quack~" gradually came from outside the cave.

A large group of water ghosts.

coming!
