Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

Chapter 25 Monster Paradise 1 [Big Chapter]

Early morning in the town of Forovdo.

An atmosphere of fear and tension from plagues and monsters still envelopes this wealthy town.

There are few people on the street and footsteps are in a hurry.

Geralt took Gordon and Sheena on horseback and strode towards the city gate.

The guards at the gate of the city inspected the people coming and going more strictly.

Just like when they arrived yesterday, the three of them left Forovdo Town without encountering almost any obstruction and headed straight towards the nearest village of Basai.

In the autumn morning, the sun is warm and cold.

"The town of Forovdo is about half a day's journey from the village of Basai, the closest place to the plague."

"If nothing happens, we should be able to arrive at Basai Village at noon."

The three of them rode horses and ran quickly in the wilderness. Geralt took off the water bag from his waist, took a big gulp, wiped the water stains around his mouth and said.

"Such a big thing has happened in Forovdo, and there are obviously many commissioned tasks. How come we haven't met any other demon hunters now?"

At this time, Gordon suddenly asked a rather newbie question.

"Gordon, you have to know that there are far fewer demon hunters now than before."

"And we all like to be solitary. It's not surprising if we don't meet each other. Even if we do meet, we won't have anything to talk to..."

"Should we talk about who killed more monsters...or what new products are available in the brothel somewhere...or which guy got carried away and did something he shouldn't have done...that would be too boring.

..”

"As for Forovdo Town now, we are definitely not the only active demon hunters."

"Besides, we've only been here for a while, you just have to wait and see..."

Geralt shook his head and smiled, clamping his legs together, and the horse under him immediately accelerated and galloped forward.

Gordon knew his question was a bit stupid and didn't care.

Since I am a newbie, it is not strange at all to ask newbie questions.

"drive..."

Gordon clamped the horse under him with his legs, and the horse immediately understood and accelerated and galloped forward to catch up.

When the light cluster in the sky climbs directly overhead, the sunlight begins to become warmer.

In the distance, a village hidden among sparse trees began to appear in front of the three of them.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The sound of leader Geralt's horse's hooves quickly slowed down.

Gordon and Sheena also immediately slowed down.

"That's it, it should be Basai Village..."

Geralt narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the village in the distance before speaking.

Gordon looked carefully and found that the village in the distance was indeed different from the villages of Lava and Hokkader he had seen before.

Even though the autumn sun is shining brightly now, the village in front of us seems to be shrouded in a gray hazy mist.

Just looking from a distance, one can feel that the gray mist is full of ominousness and death.

Gordon knew that the gray mist was the so-called miasma.

This ominous gas will appear in places where plague is spreading and disease and death are widespread.

"Teacher, is the gray mist covering the village miasma?"

At this time, Xina suddenly asked.

"Yes, it won't take long for ordinary people to start feeling sick and contract diseases just by staying in the miasma."

"This is a very ominous gas."

"The miasma in Basai Village is so terrifying now, I'm afraid it has already turned into a dead village..."

"Under such an environment, it is almost natural for corpses to mutate. No matter how many corpses there are, there will not be enough."

"We can make enough money this time..."

"Let's go. Find a place to tie the horse first. Horses can't withstand the invasion of those miasma either."

Geralt said as he pulled the reins and rode the horse forward.

Gordon and Sheena followed, and it didn't take long for the three of them to find a suitable place to tie their horses under a tree covered with thorns and sufficiently secluded.

Three horses are expensive.

Although there are almost no people who dare to come here to steal horses.

However, it is not normal for someone to encounter an ownerless horse in the wild and have it taken away.

After tying up the horse, Gordon followed Geralt and quickly arrived at the edge of Basset Village.

The trees here are dead and there is almost no green at all.

The corpses of various dead insects, rats, snakes and other small creatures can be seen everywhere. They are so rotten and smelly that nothing else dares to eat them.

This village and its surroundings have completely turned into a dead zone.

"We're here first. Drink the bottle of "Ogre Physique" you bought from Wizard Frog before."

"Yes, it's that bottle of red stuff..."

Seeing Xina take out several bottles of magic potion, Geralt pointed at the blood-red vial and said.

"Although our bodies are indeed stronger than ordinary people, we still cannot withstand the miasma for a long time."

"That thing can keep you safe even if you stay in the miasma for a long time..."

Watching Geralt and Sheena drink the potion from the red vials in their hands.

Gordon looked at the red vial in his hand and hesitated.

Last night, he was introduced to the wizard Frog and bought three bottles of potions commonly used by witchers.

Xina bought almost the same thing as him, but he didn't know what Geralt bought.

The reason Gordon bought the potion was because he was currently playing the role of a witcher who had just graduated from the witcher academy.

Not taking the potion once or twice is not strange, but not taking the potion every time is unjustifiable.

Second, through chatting with Geralt, Gordon learned that the effect of potions is roughly used to temporarily enhance the strength of demon hunters, which is somewhat similar to stimulants on earth.

However, because many of the formulas for potions need to be mixed with monster body tissues, the properties of the medicine are too overbearing.

The average person's body constitution simply cannot bear it.

Only demon hunters who have undergone the magic potion trial and whose bodies have mutated can endure it.

This is also the reason why only demon hunters dare to drink magic potions.

After Gordon learned the details of the potion, he thought that although he had not experienced the trials of a demon hunter in this world.

But he has the enhancement of the Apocalypse Monitor system, and the effect is similar to that of the Demon Hunter Trial.

Now his physical strength, strength and spirit have far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he should be able to withstand taking the magic potion.

This made Gordon want to give it a try and bought some of the most common potions commonly used by demon hunters.

"Gorton, what are you still dawdling about?"

"Do you think your body can resist the miasma for a long time?"

At this time, sensing Gordon's hesitation, Geralt asked.

"Of course not..."

With the arrow on the string, Gordon opened the cap of the red potion "Ogre Physique".

"I just suddenly thought of...something else!"

Gordon said casually, imitating Geralt's posture when drinking potion, and poured the potion in his hand into his mouth.

"Spicy, bitter, smelly, sour, sweet..."

In an instant, all kinds of extremely spicy flavors exploded in your mouth.

This was simply a more pungent smell than canned barbecued herring, and it made Gordon's face instantly colorful.

It's just that he still remembers where he is and who he is with.

He endured the extremely disgusting strong taste and swallowed the potion forcefully.

At this time, he finally understood why Geralt looked constipated and in pain every time he drank the potion.

Because he is sure that no one in this world will like this thing, absolutely not!

"call..."

After suffocating the "Ogre Physique" in one gulp, Gordon let out a long breath.

Immediately I felt that the taste in my mouth had dissipated a lot.

Just then.

Brush brush brush...

A series of virtual data characters began to jump crazily in front of Gordon's eyes.

Soon, writings composed of data characters appeared in the void in front of you.

"Exception in host status detected..."

"The host's physique is enhanced..."

"The host's spirit is enhanced..."

"Host attribute data update..."

[Race: Human]

[Soul Power: 0]

[Physique lv11 (temporary); Strength lv2; Agility lv1; Spirit lv21 (temporary)]

[Strength Level: First Level]

[Ability mastery: universal language; basic swordsmanship lv2]

[Characteristics: People beyond the river of destiny]

【......】

Looking at the data that suddenly jumped out in front of me.

The first thing Gordon did was to look at Geralt and Sheena.

This is the first time that other people are present in the Apocalypse Monitor system.

It's just that Geralt seemed to be explaining something to Sheena and didn't notice anything strange about Gordon at all.

Gordon was completely relieved.

Then look at the virtual data shining with pale white light in front of you.

Looking at the four major attribute columns, there are temporarily explained attributes behind the two major attributes: physical and mental.

Gordon immediately understood that this was the temporary blessing effect brought by the "Ogre Physique" potion.

"The recognition of the Apocalypse Supervisor proves that your physique can accept the blessing of magic medicine."

"I can definitely take the magic potion..."

At this moment, Gordon was overjoyed.

Now, no one can doubt his identity as a demon hunter anymore.

"Gorton, it's time for us to go..."

At this time, Geralt's voice came to my ears.

"Coming..."

Gordon drew out the silver sword from his back and followed quickly.

Ten minutes later.

Three people appeared at the entrance to the small village of Basai.

The gray sky in front of me and the sunny clear sky in the distance seem to be completely different worlds.

There is a slightly burning smell in the air that makes people feel very uncomfortable. It is miasma.

The deserted streets were littered with clothes, hoes, iron basins, shoes, cabinets, books and other various things.

The carcasses of dead chickens, puppies, cows, and people... were rotting and emitting a strong stench.

A large amount of black, dried blood covered the walls, the ground, and the streets...

"Are we in hell?"

Gordon looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but said.

"Oh My God..."

Xina stared at the apocalyptic and terrifying scene in front of her and murmured.

"This village is dead, completely dead..."

"It was the plague that destroyed everything..."

Geralt calmly looked at everything in front of him and said coldly.

"ah..."

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from deep in the village.

The expressions of the three people all changed.

"Walk..."

Geralt spoke in a low voice, and then quickly walked towards the nearest house nearby.

Gordon and Sheena followed immediately.

Soon, the three of them appeared in front of a two-story building.

Geralt stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to stop, listened close to the door, and then stretched out his hand to push the door open.

"Click..."

In the quiet air, the slight sound of the door opening seemed particularly harsh.

Geralt entered the house first, followed immediately by Gordon and Sheena.

But he saw Geralt staring at the severely damaged ground on the ground in trance.

"Is this done by a ghoul?"

Xina's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly saw that there was something wrong with the damage to the floor of the hall.

"It should be...be careful, there may be a ghoul hiding in this room."

Geralt spoke slowly, inserted the cross silver sword in his hand into the scabbard, and pulled out a shorter silver sword from his waist.

In such a room, it is naturally more convenient to use a short sword than a large sword.

Xina still had the small silver sword that resembled a stabbing sword in her hand, which was just right.

Gordon didn't change his sword. He was no better than Geralt. In addition to the two large swords on his back, he could also take out at least three short swords, daggers and other weapons. He was also good at hiding thieves and was not cumbersome at all.

Gordon doesn't even have as many weapons as Sheena does.

Apart from the two swords on his back, the only thing left on Gordon's body was the silver dagger on his feet.

But the dagger is too short, so it is better to use a long sword.

"It's too crowded for three people to move together."

"You two are responsible for the bottom, I'll go up and take a look."

Geralt said as he walked towards the stairs.

This house is not small, with a spacious hall and many rooms.

Gordon and Sheena looked at each other: "You are responsible for the front rooms, I will go to the back and the garden."

"good..."

Xina nodded without hesitation, turned around and walked towards the room next to the hall.

"call..."

Watching Xina's disappearing back, Gordon took a deep breath and walked toward the back of the hall with his long sword in hand.

Finding monsters has always been easy for witchers.

Because many monsters sense the breath of flesh and blood, just like smelling the aroma of food, they usually can't help but show up.

Just like the time Gordon was at the Rava Village wine cellar.

As long as there is a monster hidden in this house, it will definitely appear.

Of course, some Voldemort-type monsters are exceptions.

As for the three people acting separately, apart from being crowded and making it difficult to take action, the efficiency is too low. They are also afraid that the monster will be frightened by the three people and refuse to appear.

Monsters also have IQs, and some advanced and powerful monsters have IQs that are no different from humans.

The sound of footsteps sounded slowly and rhythmically in the corridor.

Gordon was walking in the dark corridor, his eyes seemingly focused, but in fact he was paying close attention to the movements around him.

He walked calmly through the corridor and walked to the door of the last room.

"Click..."

The door was pushed open, and the sound of the door opening was particularly harsh in the deathly silent surroundings.

Looking at the dark room in front of Qian, Gordon walked in.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, a violent sound came from outside.

Gordon was shocked. The voice came from Xina, and the monster appeared.

Gordon was not prepared to help.

Although the three of them acted together, the harvest still belonged to each of them.
