Chapter 27 27. Swamp Witch

There is a big difference in appearance between the water ghost and the swamp witch, and they appear to be reproductively isolated.

But St. Hyre of Dresden recorded his speculation that the Swamp Witch was the wife of multiple Kelpies.

Rumor has it that the swamp witch will disguise herself as an old lady to lure travelers into her lair, but in Lan's opinion, only drunkards who are so drunk that they can't even control their hands and feet would fall for this trick.

After all, even a blind man can smell the stench of a swamp witch.

Lan En's eyes were sharp.

Because it is even more impossible for Bernie and me to retreat quietly now.

Because water ghosts live in water all year round, their eyesight has deteriorated to a level similar to cataracts.

However, while the swamp witch possesses combat power that is superior to that of the water ghost, she does not suffer from even this shortcoming.

Its perception range and strength far exceed those of water ghosts.

The young man completed his observation in the blink of an eye, and Mentos' computing power was enough to complete the situation analysis at a glance.

The thick fishy smell instantly filled the entire puddle in the forest.

Golden magic light flashed on the surface of the body.

Going to Quen before the war is the training of the Bear School.

The dirty blood did not touch Lan En's body because it was blocked by a thin layer of golden magical aura.

An extremely relaxed forward roll, leaping more than two meters, temporarily widening the distance between him and his enemies.

"After you emerge, you will see a conspicuous target. It is human-shaped, larger than the water ghost, and covered with wrinkles and warts. That is the swamp witch. You have to shoot at it, but don't shoot in a hurry. Wait for it to bend down and leave.

When picking something up on the ground, shoot an arrow to interrupt it."

The water ghosts immediately entered an attack posture after the first victim appeared.

The two water ghosts standing relatively close to each other immediately rushed towards Lan En Monster, screaming!

Jumping into the air, the shadow of the water ghost enveloped Lan En.

"Understood!"

With a sound of "Boom!", the golden magic light first shook and shone like ripples on the water surface, and then suddenly shattered!

An unblocked impact came from behind his left shoulder.

Almost in an instant, the combined weight and armor mass of more than one hundred kilograms reached the top speed!

This reaction force is really huge and sudden.

Lan En bent down again and walked back to Bernie.

So much so that the buckles on the boots, which were responsible for fixing the armor and leather, even made a mournful cry in Lan En's ears as the metal and leather were tightened!

Like a cheetah, the charging posture with its center of gravity tilted forward can even disturb the branches two meters away with the wind!

The force was so fierce that even the remnant after it was offset by Kun En's seal caused Lan En's upper body to twist around half a circle!

The young man faced the two water ghosts and didn't even slow down!

But in this forest, it can easily pick up rocks that are much more threatening than Niwan!

The movement of the center of gravity was broken by external forces, and Lan En simply gave up his standing posture.

"Shoot on the torso, but don't shoot on the vitals. It reacts quickly and its skin is very strong. Your arrow is not made of silver, so don't even think about hurting it. Just help me contain it."

Bernie swallowed, tightened the rope on his long leather gloves, and took off the bow from his back.

Exhale the last breath of air from your chest and take another deep breath.

A water ghost was cut open in a thin line of silver light, its arm connected to half of its shoulder and head.

The extent of the muscle bulge cannot even be covered by the bloated and thick cotton armor!

The leather and cloth made a squeaking sound as they were stretched.

Lan En nodded, moved sideways lightly, slightly away from Bernie, and then made a stroke with his left hand in the air.

Then when Lan En's sword reached its maximum speed, "Pfft!"

Cervical vertebrae Iihe!

Four out of seven!

Because Lan En's attack was too fast and too fierce, the blood of the three monsters was spurted out of the body at almost the same time.

"Whoa?"

"Bernie. Why didn't you shoot it?"

The center of gravity began to shift, and the sword's momentum changed from "thrusting" to "slashing".

It was different from the cry of the water ghost, just like the mocking of an old woman.

But the charge has not stopped yet!

"Suck~bang!"

Does he have to rely on physical collision to face the monster's claws?

No, of course not!

The arms are back - part of the energy storage!

A water ghost turned its head in confusion, but as soon as it turned halfway, a silver sword tip with a cold light directly penetrated its throat.

"you say."

The rapid speaking speed can make people's brains work rapidly and even forget fear.

But the young man's first thought at this time was not himself, but his companions.

"ha!"

At the moment when the lungs are filled with fresh oxygen, the muscles and bones work together and the soles of the feet touch the ground!

The center of gravity was suddenly shifted to the upper body by the skills of [Bear School Swordsmanship].

Passing by the water ghost whose throat was stabbed, the silver sword was still struggling with the cervical vertebrae behind the water ghost's throat.

"I will be responsible for charging and melee combat in a while. You can show up after you hear the cry of the water ghost."

Swamp witches are good at throwing. On the tidal flats near the water, they usually throw mud balls to obscure people's vision, and then use their terrifying claws to tear their prey into pieces.

Faced with the hopeful look in the old hunter's eyes, Lan En calmly explained the situation to him.

A loud shout! The muscles and blood vessels of the two arms holding the hilt of the sword were filled with blood and swelled in an instant!

"Don't think about retreating quietly. There are only seven of these water ghosts nearby, not many in number, but there is a swamp witch inside. If we make a wrong step, if it starts barking, countless water ghosts around will act like mad dogs.

Chase us."

The other one jumped so high that its entire white belly was cut open sideways.

Bernie could see clearly from a distance that even in the process of charging forward, the long sword in Lan En's hand was as steady as "gliding" in the air!

The sound of more than a hundred kilograms of objects violently hitting the ground completely covered up the sound of the sword blade piercing flesh.

The "cervical vertebrae" that served as the sheath of the sword were directly chopped open, and the body broke out!

Having already rushed into the attack range of the water ghosts, Lan En's eyes were calm and determined.

The hands holding the sword and the silver sword itself naturally lag behind the charging body.

But at the next moment, Lan En's cat eyes shrank sharply.

Detailed information can give people confidence and courage. At least Bernie feels that his hand with the bow is more stable.

It should have been a despairing statement, but under Lan En's calm tone, Bernie himself didn't know that he could be so calm.

"We will definitely have to fight this time, but I need your help this time. Only by working together can we have a chance to get out of this forest alive."

The silver sword, with its different cervical vertebrae, was swung directly by Lan En!

The dying monster was forcibly lifted half a foot high by the force of the silver sword!

The cervical vertebrae play the role of drawing the sword and hitting the scabbard, and the friction between it and the blade accelerates the completion of the energy accumulation.

Lan En's explanation was not slow, but methodical and clear.

Even the water ghosts who are fond of fishy food were temporarily stunned by the smell of their own blood.

The silver sword that had completed its acceleration, carrying frightening silver light and the dirty blood brought out by the blade, passed straight past the bodies of the two water ghosts in mid-air!

The speed was so fast that there was no time to make the sound of penetration.

But blood still spurted out.

The water ghost's throat was stabbed through. At this time, its back and neck were bulging in an awkward arc.

"Whoa whoa!"

But now, the long sword in the young man's hand was piercing the middle of the water ghost's neck, and the corpse of the monster, which was twitching and dying, became a burden that hindered the action.

Standing back up, his eyes did not dare to move away from the strangely smiling swamp witch. Lan En could only tell Mentos to use the corner of his eye to observe his companions.
