Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

Katya, who was in the midst of "Maiden's Prayer," heard Van's words and assumed that he was being influenced by the whispers and was going mad, so she sang the ballad even louder.

Meanwhile, the eighth child in her arms became restless, squirming and trying to help Fan En.

Unfortunately, Katya was too strong, and it couldn't break free.

Moreover, remembering his master's instructions, Lao Ba quickly became obedient, his eyes warily fixed on the 'villagers' who were about to come into contact with Fan En.

Three pitchforks converged under Vane's armpits, clashing together with a metallic clang.

Van En leaped aside, dodging the two axes that came at him, and turned to stand behind the heads of the two 'villagers'.

The saw blade flashed with a cold light, and the heads of the two 'villagers' fell to the ground. Their bodies swayed and then collapsed with a crash.

But their heads, like those of the wild beasts, remain immortal, while they murmur seductive whispers.

[You heard the whispers of cultists, Berserk level +10]

[You heard the whispers of cultists, Berserk level +10]

……

You have accumulated 40 points of Frenzy, and gained 1 point of Temporary Strength.

……

A stream of messages scrolled across Van En's information panel, and just like when he entered the dream before, he transformed into a crazed killer, reaping the heads of the 'villagers'.

Despite being surrounded, Van En, relying on his ability to see through enemies and his leaping steps, killed five more "villagers" in less than 30 seconds, almost like a cat toying with mice.

During Katya's ballad, his berserk value didn't increase as quickly; it only reached 70 at this point, and he was given another 1 point of temporary agility.

The tall, imposing "beast" at the head of the group narrowed its eyes, hidden under its hood, clearly finding it hard to believe how ferocious Van En was.

Soon, his gaze settled on Katya, who was glowing not far away.

The tall 'beast' let out a strange whisper, and the 'beasts' surrounding him took a few steps back with him.

At the same time, the 'villagers' all let out a low growl:

"Children, give yourselves!"

The next moment, Van En noticed that red arcs appeared above and to the sides of his field of vision.

He instinctively took a step and turned to the diagonal front, only to find that the red arc had quickly moved to the back.

Fan En had a bad feeling and turned his head to look.

Four small, dark figures, each holding a green-glowing dagger, leaped down from the thatched roof and pounced on Katya.

In the silver light, the appearance of the four little ones was revealed; they were four 'children' who were about 1.2 meters tall.

They were chattering, and their long, black fur made them look like monkeys from the mountains and forests.

But their scarlet eyes betrayed their beastly nature, and the green-glowing daggers were clearly poisoned.

"Katya!"

Fan called out to the girl who was still singing in a daze, preparing to rush over to save her.

boom!

A ball of green flame flew towards Vann, but he instinctively dodged it by leaping to the right.

The ball of green fire crashed to the ground and then quickly transformed into a low, arc-shaped wall of green fire, blocking Van En's path.

At the same time, the remaining seven "villagers" raised their weapons, yelled strangely, and "enthusiastically" rushed towards Van En.

"Eighth Brother!"

Knowing he couldn't get through, Vann yelled and then focused on his fight.

But this time it will be more difficult for him than before.

Although those 'villagers' were weak, they could not harm him except by whispering strange words to increase his berserk value.

However, the towering "beast" kept using green fireballs to block his attack routes.

This forced Vann to kill a 'village' after using two jump steps.

Even more strangely, after the low wall of green fire was erected, the amount of silver light that Vann received from Katja decreased significantly.

His anxiety caused his berserk value to increase more and more.

[Your rage level has reached 80. Please be aware.]

The timely reminder calmed Van En down. He squinted, conserved his energy, and prepared to strike at the leader first, charging towards the tall "beast".

boom!

Click!

"Ah! Don't come any closer!"

Strange noises came from Katya's side, along with her screams.

During a lull in the fighting, Van En turned his head and discovered a miraculous scene.

Katya's body began to shimmer with silver light. She punched a 'child' beast away, grabbed the eighth beast's tail with her other hand, and swept it towards the 'children' who were about to attack her.

Old Eight's dog head had grown to a gigantic size. Although his two eyes were spinning due to dizziness, he still opened his mouth wide and bit at the 'children' who were hopping around with daggers.

The 'child' who was sent flying by Katya's punch slammed his head against the stone wall with a crisp crack. After twitching twice, he fell silent.

Two of the remaining three "children" had already had half of their bodies chewed up by Lao Ba.

Seeing this, Vann was slightly taken aback, but he calmed down and knew that Katya would be alright.

So he focused even more intently on dealing with the remaining enemies.

The path to the tall "beast" was not smooth, so Van En stopped forcing it and began to focus on killing the "villagers" who were besieging him.

After dodging and weaving, and taking down two more "villagers," Van En was now about 5 meters away from the tall "beast."

After shooting out four or five more green fireballs, the tall "beast" stopped using the same trick.

He aimed the green torch at the opposite side of Vann, shooting out a pillar of fire as thick as a forearm, burning the last four villagers in front of him, and then accelerated backward.

Van En narrowed his eyes, already guessing the other party's intentions.

He leaped backward to escape the 'villagers' who were blocking his way, their bodies engulfed in green flames, looking like fiery demons.

Fan En looked at the tall 'beast' that had retreated 20 meters and was almost at the north entrance of Tianjing Village, and growled:

"You can't escape!"

The tall, black-robed "beast" paused, put away the green torch, and disappeared into the blood mist to the northeast.

boom!boom!boom! ...

The remaining villagers' bodies swelled rapidly and exploded on the spot.

Van En had already run to a safe distance.

"Ugh! Eighth Brother, you're disgusting! Stop eating!"

"Woof!"

Boom!

"Stop eating! If you eat any more, I'll hit you on the head!"

"Waaah~~"

Van En turned around and saw Katya unharmed, except for one sleeve that had been torn off.

Old Eight, with tears welling in his eyes and a wronged expression, breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked over with a smile, glanced at the four 'children'—the remains of wild beasts—and asked Katya with a heavy heart:

"Do you know these four children?"

Katya kicked away a poisoned dagger emitting green smoke that was lying at her feet, frowned, and shook her head:

"These children are covered in hair, so you can't recognize them at all, but the clothes they're wearing don't look like those of people from our Sweet Well Village."

"Besides... they're too thin and too short. Kids their age in our village are all chubby, strong, and adorable!"

Fan En became suspicious. He used a butcher's saw to scrape the black hair off a child's face, and his pupils contracted instantly when he looked at the emaciated, beast-like face.

Because the child's nose had been cut off at the root, as had both ears, and there was a cross-shaped scar on his forehead.

Katya also came over, letting out a sigh of relief: "Never seen this before, wow, where did this child come from? It's so pitiful."

Van En nodded and walked over to put the four poisoned daggers into his inventory.

Just after he finished collecting the dagger next to the 'child' who had been punched to death by Katya and was now in the corner.

Fan En heard a rustling sound, looked towards the corner of the house, and frowned.

"who!"

Van En stared at the stone path and suddenly shouted, startling Katya, who took two steps back while holding Lao Ba.

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going downstairs to look for you!"

"No! No!"

A muffled sound came from under the stone slab:

"Please move aside, I'll be right out."
