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

Katya paused for a moment, then licked her tongue, tore open the oil paper packaging of the oat energy bar, and began to chew it heartily.

After taking a few bites, Katya's light blue eyes suddenly lit up.

She puffed out her cheeks and smiled at Van En like a little squirrel.

"It looks like a stray cat, but it's actually quite cute."

Fan En was completely relieved and casually tucked the cleaver in his hand into his belt.

He gave Katya food to determine whether the girl was still human.

"Cough cough cough!"

Katya ate too quickly and started coughing.

Van En then opened a bottle of cheap wine and fed her a few sips.

Glug~ Glug~

Katya tilted her head back and took a few sips, swallowing the food. Then, reluctantly, she handed the remaining half of the oatmeal energy bar to Van, saying:

"Hunter, we're full. Here's the rest for you."

Fan frowned as he looked at the drool on the oatmeal energy bar.

"Coo coo coo~~"

He glanced at Katya's belly again, waved his hand, and said:

"No need. Tell me how you got through the blood mist and found this place."

Katya wrapped up the remaining oatmeal energy bars, put them in the front pocket of her skirt, then took out a glass lamp the size of a billiard ball and said:

"This is a silver blood lamp given to us novice nuns by the Healing Church of Put Town. It can last for two days in the blood mist."

As she spoke, Katya pinched the glass lamp.

Swish!

A faint silver light emanated from within.

Vann reached out and touched it, reading the message:

【Inferior Katya's Silver Blood Lamp: A poor imitation, it can only dispel blood mist within a two-meter radius around the user, and has 25 hours of usage time remaining.】

The Silver Blood Lamp was originally a religious object used by ancient humans to communicate with the moon goddess, but after the blood mist erupted, it became the only tool for traversing the blood mist.

The maker of this lamp was not a professional craftsman, but he put a lot of care into its creation.

"She didn't lie; she seems to be an honest girl."

Van En looked at Katya with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

From the information in the Silver Blood Lamp, it can be deduced that the novice nun Katya is a very resilient girl who walked alone in the blood mist for almost a day.

After sighing inwardly, Vann helped Katya up and said:

"My horse is lost. I don't know if it was eaten by a wild beast in the blood mist or what happened."

"Stay in the carriage and wait for me to come back."

"Although I didn't see what happened to your horse, I can still help! I know some simple divine magic that can assist you!"

Katya walked with a limp, her eyes fixed firmly on Vann.

"You're a burden. If wild beasts come, you won't even be able to run away. Have you forgotten the bloody claws that scratched you?"

Vann's words were somewhat cold, which startled Katya.

He opened the carriage door, pushed Katya inside, and instructed her:

"Don't touch anything inside, just wait patiently for me to come back."

"Um!"

Katya's eyes showed some disappointment, but she still said to Van:

"Have a good hunt!"

"Oh, right!"

Vann turned around, extended his hand to Katya, and said:

"Lend me your Silver Blood Lamp for now."

"Oh? Okay."

Van En took Katya's silver blood lamp and gave her instructions:

"Close the door and don't come out. It's dangerous outside."

"good!"

Katya waved to Van En's retreating figure and closed the carriage door.

She sat on the soft leather sofa, just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she saw Lilith's corpse across from her.

"Woo! Caw~"

Katya's eyes widened, and she immediately covered her mouth, thinking nervously:

"This is...this is a nun in repose!"

"She...she actually...she's dead!"

Katya felt her body trembling slightly. She reflexively reached for the carriage door handle, but there was no response at all.

Then, she couldn't help but think:

"Could it be that... that hunter is the kind of person..."

Katya shook her head, looked down at the oatmeal energy bar in her pocket, and her mood gradually calmed down:

"No way, Hunter, you just gave me something so delicious!"

"He's definitely a good person!"

……

Katya has increased your favorability towards you by 20 points.

Katya has lowered your favorability rating by 20 points.

Katya has increased your favorability towards you by 30 points.

Katya currently has a 30% affinity level with you and is friendly towards you.

"What's wrong with this little girl?"

"Oh, right! Lilith's body is still inside."

"Hmm... never mind, let's focus on finding the horse first."

Van En had now walked to the carriage shaft, which is the place in front of the driver's seat where the animals are secured.

Upon arriving here, the first thing Van En noticed was a broken Silver Blood Lamp.

This silver blood lamp is shaped like a large bell, and it is stained with blood.

In addition, Vann also saw some messy claw marks.

He sniffed the surrounding scents and found two kinds.

One of them smelled like livestock, while the other reeked of decay.

"The former must be a horse, and the latter must be the wild beast that attacked my carriage."

"It seems there really is something wrong with my horse."

Fan En looked around the area around the carriage shaft but found nothing else.

He picked up the broken silver blood lamp and read the message within:

[The Broken Beast Neck Lamp: The silver blood lamp, installed around the neck of a pack animal, was meant to provide safety for the animal running through the blood mist. Now that the lamp is broken, it suggests that the beast may have met with misfortune.]

It's stained with the blood of a wild animal; this can guide you to the beast's location.

Vann uncovered the scarf and dabbed some of the animal blood on it with his finger.

Then he brought it to his nose and smelled it.

Swish!

Van En's pupils instantly turned red, and the 'Beast' mark on his left arm throbbed even faster.

In his pale red vision, a smoky, deep red line appeared, pointing southeast of the carriage.

At that moment, Fan En felt his heart pounding more than ten times. An overwhelming desire made him want to immediately use the cleaver in his hand to chop something.

He turned around and began to walk in the direction indicated by the red line.

When he was two steps away from the blood mist, Vann looked at the broken Silver Blood Lamp of the Beast Pack in his hand, and also at Katya's Silver Blood Lamp.

He suddenly had a whimsical idea, so he squeezed Katya's silver blood lamp and put it into the beast's silver blood lamp.

Swish!

Katya's Silver Blood Lamp could originally only disperse the blood mist within a two-meter radius, but through the reflection of the lamp wall of the beast-borne Silver Blood Lamp, the silver light expanded by more than double, illuminating the entire area of ​​nearly five meters around it.

Van En stepped out with his right foot, entering the area of ​​the blood mist.

An even more foul stench reached Vann's nose, like human slime floating out of a sewer.

Moreover, once they officially entered the blood mist, the wind around them became even stronger, and Van En's long overcoat was blown askew.

He suppressed the urge to vomit, tied the combination silver blood lamp to his waist, and continued to follow the red line.

During this time, aided by the hunter's sense of smell, he severed many of the bloody hands that attacked him.

Three minutes later, Vann suddenly stopped.

He heard a strange howling sound coming from all around him.

Gripping the cleaver tightly, Van En panted heavily and turned to the right, following the red arc in his vision.

"ha!"

"roar!"

"ha!"

"roar!"

……

The strange cries grew closer, and Van En saw a red silhouette approaching, revealing its true form.

A wild beast, its entire body skinned and resembling a large dog, lay on the ground.

Its head, with little flesh left and only skull remaining, stared out from the blood mist with its green eyes, black and red foul-smelling saliva dripping from its mouth, greedily gazing at Van En.

Even though black smoke began to rise from its body due to the silver light, it still moved its slender limbs toward Van En.

The pungent, rotten stench was like the smell of socks that a person with athlete's foot had worn for a year without washing; it was a stench that exceeded Van En's imagination.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by a notification tone:

Seeing the Blood Mist Beast grants you 10 points of Frenzy.
