The Killer Lake shimmered with a deep blue light. Fish swam, water plants waved, and green stones adorned the scene. Everything underwater appeared beautiful after taking the killer whale potion. However, the minds of the three apprentice witchers were not on the beauty of the lake.
"Bzzz~ Bzzz~ Bzzz~"
A vibrating sound echoed underwater. The witcher apprentices could sense the source of the sound, swiftly moving from in front of them to their left, then toward the direction they were concerned about. After exchanging glances, they quietly leaned against the rock wall and cautiously peered above the water's surface.
A large humanoid creature was wielding a big tree, charging towards the large pile of rocks where Allen was hiding. Compared to the Cyclops, Allen seemed like a newborn kitten, easily squashed underfoot.
"Ah!"
Hughes couldn't help but whisper, instinctively about to swim towards Allen's direction, but then hesitated.
Even if he went, what could he do to help?
This question occupied his mind. After a brief moment of thought, Hughes turned back and gestured silently to Bert and Fred, quietly swimming towards the direction of the cave. They couldn't waste the time Allen bought for them. The sooner they entered the cave, the sooner Allen could escape.
"Pat-pat~ Pat-pat~ Pat-pat~"
After quietly getting ashore, all three couldn't help but glance back.
"Allen is so strong, he'll definitely be fine!"
These words didn't sound like they were consoling others; instead, they seemed to be boosting their own confidence.
Hughes clenched his teeth, tightened his fist until his knuckles turned white. Then, without waiting for Fred and Bond's response, he ran towards the dark cave. The remaining two exchanged glances and silently followed.
Will Allen really be fine?
Both of them doubted. But they didn't look back again. Otherwise, they feared they couldn't contain the loud curse of "coward" in their hearts.
----
"Boom!"
Allen suddenly withdrew, stuck in a gap in the rocks, dodging the tree trunk swung by the Cyclops. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw three witcher apprentices running into the cave, silently sighing in relief.
Hughes, Bond, and Fred were Allen's first core team members in the Wolf School of Witchers.
In the Wolf School, where the total number of witchers was less than a hundred, having three witchers support him, plus Vesemir and the chief, made many things much easier. He was most worried that the three would act impulsively and swim over to help him. That would be a real desperate situation for him.
"Boom~"
The ground suddenly trembled violently, and a large shadow completely covered Allen. The witcher apprentice raised their guard vigilantly. The blue pupils of the drowner contracted into vertical lines in an instant.
A massive mountain of flesh was descending from the sky towards him. Allen knew that if he were hit squarely by the old spearhead, he might not even have a chance to consider whether he could cross into the next world. Rolling quickly to the right, he hid again between two large rocks.
"Rumble!"
A loud noise came from his side, causing the witcher apprentice's eardrums to throb, and the area around them was scattered with flying debris. Taking advantage of the smoke and dust not yet dispersed, the old spearhead did not find his trace and was about to leave along the edge of the rock. Before quietly retreating, he gave a giant shadow that lingered in the smoke and dust a look.
[Name: Cyclops]
[Level: ?]
[Attributes: Strength ?, Agility 9, Constitution ?, Perception 7, Mystery 7]
"What's the use of this?"
The information provided by the appraisal skill was almost useless, almost making Allen unable to resist putting the only remaining special skill points into it. But this special skill point, whether invested in hunting demons or tracking, could significantly change the strength of the witcher apprentices. Only investing in the appraisal skill is not feasible.
No matter how complete the attributes are obtained, the difficulty of killing Cyclops will not decrease by half. Although it is at the same level of unknown level as the Water Ghost King, except for strength and constitution attributes, other attributes are worse than the Water Ghost King. Of course, this is still not something Allen can hunt alone.
If it weren't for the double-handed sword of the Wolf School of Witchers, a sword art specifically created for hunting monsters. After upgrading to LV3, in addition to the sharper swordsmanship, the grasp of the body is stronger. In the memories transmitted, there are also some basic dodging and coping methods for large monsters.
Allen couldn't say at this moment...
Okay, it's not difficult to dodge the old spearhead attack. Especially in the chaotic pile of rocks he chose.
The Cyclops, known for its low perception, can't find the witcher apprentices hiding in the pile of rocks.
Allen was circling with the old spearhead between a few large stones. This kind of giant monster is most afraid of such narrow and complex terrain. With Allen's current size, in this pile of chaotic stones, he can play hide-and-seek with the old spearhead until dark.
"Roar!"
Extreme irritability and anger radiated from the roar.
"Boom! Boom!..."
A large amount of wood chips and debris flew over Allen's head. The Cyclops was venting his anger with the hard rocks on the ground.
"It's really a monster with low intelligence, even can't control its own emotions."
Unfortunately, even with his hands holding the four to five meters giant stick.
[Hunting ] needs to focus attention on the target at all times, and his way of evasion is difficult to achieve.
"If Vesemir is here..."
The witcher apprentice lamented in his heart. Unfortunately, the master witcher cannot be here. Even if he's here, he won't help him hunt "Old Spearhead."
After all, The old spearhead was obviously carefully selected. High strength and high constitution pose a considerable threat. And under low agility, low perception, and low mystery, even if the attributes are low witcher apprentice, as long as they calm down from fear, they can escape from its hands.
This is a test of witcher apprentices' luck, courage, and composure. So even if he didn't happen to meet the monster asleep, the apprentices had a chance to escape. Just like he is now. Unfortunately, Allen didn't want to escape. He wanted to try and see if he could hunt down this large monster.
"It's been about ten minutes, and it shouldn't affect Hughes and the others."
Allen whispered lightly, hiding in the middle of the rocks and the river bank.
"Hoo~"
The witcher apprentice exhaled lightly. Monitoring the heavy footsteps of the old spearhead, while focusing his mind on opening the monster compendium of hunting notes.
[Ding! Would you like to use Celestial Conjunction — Drowner (Cooldown 30 days)?]
With a turn of his mind, the semi-transparent prompt in front of him disappeared. The witcher apprentice was about to dive into the killer lake to avoid the imminent strong vibration. Suddenly, a large emerald and exquisite, somewhat elven-style huge gate appeared in front of him. It moved with the witcher apprentice's gaze, appearing in different places in front of him.
'Is this asking me to choose the location of Celestial Conjunction?' Allen thought.
Almost without thinking, the witcher apprentice put down the gate in his mind. Immediately after, he drank a bottle of killer whale, sneaked into the killer lake beside him.
"Splash!"
Just as he entered the water the next moment. The red-to-black banner appeared in the blue world in front of him...
