Chapter 140: The Legend of the Clock Tower Monster
The ruins of Dawn City are as dangerous as the legends say.
After the first wave of attacks by a swarm of giant bats, the hunting team encountered several more waves of monster attacks, resulting in casualties.
Among them, there was a wave of monsters that even Su'en found slightly troubleso.
It was a humanoid monster with four limbs and sharp claws, and its brain was outside its body. It would burst out from the mist like lightning, kill people, and then disappear back into the mist. Its speed was so fast that even ordinary gunn didn't have a chance to pull the trigger before it vanished.
The identification information showed that it was a monster called "Blinker," which was a mutated assassin.
Mutation is the result of the body being unable to withstand the dark energy and undergoing changes.
The dark spiritual power in this ruin is more than ten tis that of Old Lingdun, and the degree of mutation of the monsters is much higher than in other places.
Therefore, even though it was a first-tier monster, so of its attributes were several tis stronger than ordinary first-tier professionals, such as speed!
Fortunately, there was a second-tier professional in the team.
After several deaths, the leader of the "Warblade Squad," Bloom, personally chased into the mist and killed the monster, finally resolving the crisis.
However, the good news was that the monsters in the ruins were very strong, and the chance of producing cursed materials was extrely high.
Even the "Drunkard Squad," which followed behind the main force, also obtained a lot of materials.
Moreover, for Su'en, the extrely high concentration of dark spiritual power in this ruin made his breathing stronger!
.......
The journey that should have taken three or four hours ended up taking half a day.
In the afternoon, they finally arrived at the "Red Brick Tower District" marked on the map.
The buildings in Dawn City were a mix of various styles. This was a cross street, with a dilapidated red brick tower on the east side that looked like an ancient bell tower. It had a pointed top, flying buttresses, and so broken stained glass, clearly Gothic in style.
The monastery where the witch's hair was found was on the west side, also in ruins, but with a round Romanesque do. The main building was white, but the main hall and corridors had collapsed on a large scale...
Su'en used the Eye of Omniscience to take a look, and it showed "A Dilapidated Monastery."
There were no special prompts.
From the known information, there must be a "Wailing Witch" hunting humans nearby.
Soone had found a corpse in this area before, and they had taken the hair from the corpse while still alive. This indicated that the witch might be a wandering monster or a curse space triggered by special conditions.
Su'en didn't dare to be careless and didn't approach the monastery.
Then he looked down at his hand, made an awkward finger gesture, looked around, and then lowered his head to repeat the gesture twice. His furrowed brows relaxed, confirming sothing in his heart, and he muttered, "Not a dream..."
He hadn't forgotten that the ability the "Wailing Witch" was good at was killing people in dreams.
And even if Su'en wanted to approach the monastery, he couldn't.
Because the second-tier leader of the "Warblade Squad" had already started sending teams to investigate the situation inside the monastery.
They were a hunting team sponsored by the Oliver family, and their purpose was to find clues about the "Wailing Witch" for Danze Junior. The dilapidated monastery had beco a key target for exploration.
But Su'en thought it was fine.
Having soone else scout ahead for him would at least help him figure out what kind of existence the witch was.
.......
Upon reaching the vicinity of the designated destination, each hunting team began their search tasks.
As a mber of the Joint Hunting Contract Team, the "Drunkard Squad" was free to act upon arrival at the destination.
Benson greeted his team mbers and also called out to Su'en, "Let's go, Johnny, let's search those buildings over there."
They couldn't go to the monastery, but there were still many buildings around.
Although other hunters had already been here, no one could guarantee that the treasures had been completely looted.
Hunting was similar to gold panning; it required enough patience and luck to find gold in the gravel pile.
And because this city was suddenly destroyed, the ruins preserved many everyday items from the residents of the city a thousand years ago.
Perhaps there were undiscovered cellars, jewelry boxes in collapsed rubble, and hidden stashes underground...
As long as they searched patiently, they would always find sothing.
With that, Benson led his team mbers to unload their backpacks and tents, and they began their treasure hunt with light equipnt.
The fog density on the streets was very low now, allowing them to see far without encountering any monsters.
Everyone dispersed and relied on their experience to search for treasures.
Tommy was excited to be hunting in such a dangerous place for the first ti. But instead of following Benson, he turned to Su'en and asked, "Mr. Johnny, can I go with you?"
Su'en was curious, "Why?"
Tommy's eyes flickered with intelligence, "Because I feel safer with you!"
Su'en smiled. This kid was quite clever. "Sure, co with ."
Hearing his agreent, Tommy smiled happily and shouted to Benson, who had already crossed the street, "Dad, I'm going with Mr. Johnny!"
Benson didn't mind and waved his hand, "Alright!"Su'en was not very interested in hunting for treasures in the wilderness. He didn't need money at the mont, so he didn't put much effort into it.
Moreover, because he knew that the "Crying Witch" often appeared nearby, his gaze was always focused on these ruins, trying to see if there was anything wrong.
Before long, the hunting team made a discovery.
Suddenly, a hearty laughter rang out.
"Hahaha... I found a treasure chest!"
The one who spoke was Bernard, a mage in Benson's team who was skilled in "treasure hunting magic".
That rare supportive magic had no combat power, but it was perfect for finding buried tals. It was like a personal tal detector that could be used while walking.
Benson also laughed and said, "Not bad."
A small box of ancient silver coins could probably be sold for a hundred or eighty thousand.
Starting off on a good note, the mbers of the Drunkard's Group beca even more excited.
Su'en and Tommy also found a building to explore and went inside.
.......
This street had already been looted by previous hunters. If they wanted to find treasures, they had to dig deep into the ruins or search in more hidden places.
If they didn't know the special magic of "treasure hunting
