Chapter 821 803. Decoction, baby

Three people contacted the horned devil in a relay manner.

Finally, the moment the contact ended, the horned demon died.

If this kind of demon were placed among ordinary humans, even among professional armies, it would have to cause at least dozens of casualties before being stabbed like a hedgehog by spears and halberds.

The soldiers holding halberds and spears used the combined force of more than a dozen people to suppress and restrict the movement. Then the crossbowmen in the distance used several waves of silver arrows to shoot it into a rotten sack.

But amid the continuous attacks from Lan En, Geralt, and Velvet Ball, this was just a face-to-face matter.

"Huh~ This is probably the fastest task I've completed."

Geralt pulled his silver sword out of the horned demon's chest, making a distinct 'click' sound of metal and bone.

"From the time you saw it to the time it was over, how long was it?"

"One minute and three seconds." Lan En flicked the blade to the side, and the smelly blood on the Lake Lady's Sword was immediately wiped clean. "exactly."

After shaking off the dirt on the sword, Lan En began to rub his soles against the rock wall of the culvert again.

This layer of slime mold and debris really made him sick.

The flannel ball curiously approached the dead horned devil.

It kept tilting its head left and right, looking at the huge eyes of the Horned Demon that were still open, as well as the horizontal pupils inside.

"Die right now, nya? It's really fast."

The flannel ball seemed a little confused and uncomfortable.

After Lan En finished rubbing the soles of his shoes, he came over and patted the velvet ball's little head. It narrowed its eyes in enjoyment.

"The monsters in this world don't have the wild vitality, tough scales, and hair of the monsters over there. So as long as you find the right position and method, the battle will often end within a few minutes."

In the world of monsters, even if it is a ferocious jackal, just beating it until it is exhausted requires using the hunters' exaggerated weapons to fight it for more than ten or even dozens of minutes.

Let alone beating him to the point of death.

"But at the same time, these monsters have strange and extraordinary magical abilities, which is why we strive to shorten the battle process."

Lan En tapped the hooves of the horned devil's hind limbs with his toes.

"It seems to be able to emit some kind of supernatural darkness, making people's eyes go dark. If it is the first time you come into contact with it, you will probably get blood when you encounter this trick. But as long as you kill it when you first come into contact, it will be fine. ”

"That's it, meow!"

The flannel ball nodded seriously, as if he took Lan En's words as some kind of truth.

"Monsters are also different. So the coping strategies are also different, hmm, nya!"

And Geralt, who had just polished the silver sword and put it back into the scabbard on his back, walked over expressionlessly, began to pull out the knife, and stripped the trophies from the horned demon.

At the same time, he was talking.

"The supernatural darkness you are talking about is the magic of the deer-headed demon, also commonly known as the 'demon'."

"In the middle of their long faces, an extra third eye will grow horizontally. When that eye opens, the person who is stared at will fall into darkness."

Although Geralt's face was expressionless, Lan En always felt that he was playing tricks on him.

The flannel ball also tilted his head and looked at Lan En doubtfully.

"Well, am I confused? Anyway, this is my first time seeing a goat-horned demon, and I have never seen a deer-headed demon before."

The young witcher scratched his cheek and said uncertainly.

"Oh, don't make any judgments about things you don't understand, meow. I learned it again, meow!"

The flannel ball nodded seriously, causing Lan En's mouth to twitch in the shadows.

Geralt quickly packed away the valuable things from the Capricorn Demon.

Including its pierced heart, a large piece of the croissant's smelly skin, its head and fangs.

Among them, a mutation-inducing substance was also found in the chest.

He put the mutation-inducing substance into a portable storage bottle and handed it to Lan En.

"The mutagenic substance of the ram's horned devil is necessary when making [the ram's horned devil's decoction]."

Lan En took the preservation bottle and looked at the mutagenic substances floating up and down in the potion.

The whole thing still looks like a cell that has been magnified thousands of times, very similar to an ordinary red mutation inducer, except that the nucleus of the cell has green spots.

The witcher's decoction is a further step in the witcher's alchemical knowledge than the potion.

Lan En has mastered it now.

Compared with potions, decoctions are more effective, more magical, and effective for a longer period of time, but their disadvantage is that their toxicity increases dramatically.

Even the lowest level decoction is more than five times more toxic than ordinary potions.

The potion will take effect for a few hours at most, while the medicinal properties of the decoction will last for at least half a day.

But it also seems to be due to the use of unique mutagenic substances found in monsters. These decoctions can give the witcher powers close to the characteristics of the monster.

For example, [Cape's Horned Demon Decoction], during the validity period, can make the demon hunter's lower body as stable as that of the Cap's Horned Demon.

The impact that could normally knock someone away could only stagger the demon hunter under the influence of this decoction.

Other decoctions also have their own characteristics, for example, they can greatly increase the speed of energy recovery at night.

For example, in stormy weather, it can greatly increase the strength of the seal.

These are all qualities that monsters can exhibit, and the sorcerers who created the witchers used the mutation-inducing substances in the monsters as an introduction, and used excellent alchemy to give the witchers the ability to temporarily possess these qualities.

Lan En tossed up and down the vial containing the mutagenic substance of the Horned Devil and smiled.

This is a good practice object.

"Okay, now let's look for the tools and equipment Berengar left here."

Lan En put the preservation bottle into the alchemy leather bag and asked Geralt and Velvet Ball to get down to business.

The culvert is not big, so finding things is easy.

The horned devil would not hide the sword-making tools on purpose.

They found a large cloth bag that had become tattered over the decades.

However, Berengar had also been waterproofed at that time, so there was still a layer of oilcloth in the bag. There was a clanging sound of steel clashing inside.

Lan En carried this big bag, which was regarded as completing the task.

"No wonder Berengar couldn't defeat this horned demon back then. With such a big bag, I almost didn't want to fight."

The young witcher complained, while Geralt was still rummaging around in the culvert.

He is also a thrifty person, and there are still many trophies of this beast in the Horned Devil's cave.

He is used to looking through it more often, what if there is a treasure?

In the end, he actually found something.

Geralt pulled a piece of sturdy, moisture-proof parchment out of a tattered cloth bag.

The parchment rustled and dust fell.

But Geralt looked very surprised.

"Is this the blueprint for the boots in the advanced armor of the Wolf School?"

Geralt turned around in surprise and looked at Lan, still holding the parchment in his hand.

Lan En also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Did he really find the treasure?
