The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 392 The Deer-Headed Demon

After a careful search in the forest, which took about ten minutes, Lynn found the monster's footprints.

Judging from the footprints, this monster had a pair of large feet, long and sharp forelimbs, walked on all fours, and its back was probably over two meters tall.

After following the footprints for about half an hour, Lynn finally found the monster's lair.

It was a monster that looked somewhat like a deer, with three eyes on its face, its body made of muscles, and its limbs were taller than a person when it lay down. At this moment, it was lying on the ground, fast asleep.

This is a deer-headed demon, also known as the Fentonian monster.

Although they differ by only one character, the two are worlds apart.

The Leshen does not summon crows or wolves, nor does it use plants to attack; its greatest strength lies in its magnificent physical body.

No human can defeat the Leshen Demon in close combat unless they use ranged attacks such as ballistae and catapults.

Because their power is so terrifying, even a well-organized army can be shattered in just a few seconds if they break into it.

Even if soldiers on its flanks and rear bravely thrust out their silver spears, they would be blocked by its muscles, which were almost as hard as steel.

However, the stag-headed demon is no ordinary enemy it has encountered today.

Lynn stomped his foot hard, his figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Deer-Headed Demon.

Even in its slumber, the Deer-Headed Demon remained vigilant.

It instinctively raised its head, avoiding the heavy blow.

Even so, a horrific wound was still torn open in his chest.

Blood gushed out like a punctured water bag.

In excruciating pain, the Deer-Headed Demon instinctively raised its claws and swung them forward.

A monster is a monster. What would be a fatal wound for a human would indeed be a "mere fatal wound" on a resilient stag-headed demon.

On the contrary, if the Deer-Headed Demon's enraged attack were to hit, even the city wall would be torn apart.

however……

when!
A harsh metal collision sounded.

The massive blade of the Lake Maiden's Sword blocked the Deer-Headed Demon's claws.

Under the incredulous gaze of the Leshen, Lynn pushed the blade of the Lake Maiden's Sword, shoving its claws back.

Then a cold light flashed across its neck.

Pfft!
The head with thick antlers rolled to the ground.

The expression of shock still lingered on the face of the Deer-Headed Demon.

It probably never believed, even in its dying moments, that there was a human being stronger than it.

He took out his hunting knife and stripped the deer-headed demon of all its valuable loot before searching the lair.

Unfortunately, no treasure was found in the nest.

That makes sense.

After all, this stag-headed demon was hiding in a forest near a non-main road in Velen, and Velen was notoriously poor and backward. Even if it lived in this forest for a long time, how much valuable treasure could it possibly scavenge?
Lynn was not discouraged.

With his current net worth, he doesn't care about these things.

He picked up the deer-headed demon's head, then his gaze fell on its headless corpse.

The flesh of the Deer-Headed Demon is inedible.

Like other monsters such as water ghosts, ghouls, swamp witches, and tomb witches, eating its flesh can cause anything from vomiting and diarrhea to being bedridden, to death. Therefore, Lynn used the Igni sign to burn the stag-headed demon's corpse, only needing to bring its head back as proof.

Only a few hours had passed when Lynn returned to the village.

When he threw the giant stag-headed demon's head to the ground, he immediately drew shocked stares from everyone, including the knights.

The villagers were one thing, but those knights were no country bumpkins.

Just from the monster's enormous head, one can determine its size in life and the manpower and casualties required to defeat it.

Lynn did it all by himself, and without a scratch.

It's really terrifying.

"Not only this deer-headed demon, but the daytime spirits in the farmland have also been eliminated by me and will no longer bother you."

"However, you'd better not go into the forest yet. Even if you defeat the stag-headed demon, there are still monsters like the wrathful demons, Andraig, and crab spiders in the forest."

"I'll find someone to clean it up properly for you later."

Lynn wasn't just saying that to be polite.

Once the witchers he sent to the south have returned, he will arrange for them to come to Velen and slowly eradicate all the demons and monsters in the region.

In fact, due to the rampant monsters, Velen's natural resources have been almost completely undeveloped. Coupled with its vast land and sparse population, it is actually a treasure land suitable for farming.

Velen is located north of Novigrad. Novigrad develops commerce while Velen develops agriculture, creating a complementary relationship.

This is also why Lynn chose Willen.

The group stayed in the village for several more days. Every day at noon, Lynn would go to the farmland where the daytime spirit was located. After several days of observation, and confirming that the daytime spirit had not appeared again, the group set off for the next village.

As they left, the village chief and villagers watched them depart from the village entrance.

This time, the respect on their faces had a touch more sincerity.

……

It took the team almost two months to finally complete the journey through Velen and return to Raven's Den.

In fact, the province of Velen is not large, and there are not many villages in the province. Apart from the muddy and difficult roads, most of the time is spent helping local villages and solving the most urgent and serious problems.

Because Veserad shirked his responsibilities as lord, the people who had lived in Velen for generations were plunged into misery.

Poverty, hunger, and even the inability to survive.

Therefore, upon arriving at each village, they had to stop and spend a significant amount of time helping the local villagers address their most pressing issues.

However, the village with the most serious problems is Lower Waren, located in the eastern part of the province of Walen, near the Humpback Swamp.

This village is the cult village in The Witcher 3 that worships the Lady of the Wood.

However, at this point in time, Lower Warren has not yet been completely corrupted.

But Lynn also noticed that some villagers only had one ear.

The way to honor Lady of the Woods was to cut off one's own ear and offer it to her.

Lynn and his group stayed in Lower Valencia the longest.

Because this place has been corrupted by darkness, it is necessary to resort to harsh measures in times of chaos, execute the corrupt villagers, and burn all the items found that are related to the Lady of the Forest.

The remaining villagers who showed no signs of corruption were forced to move away.

Move them to the crow's nest.
