Tanky Mage System
v1 Chapter 66: Herder
"Hunting layer? Some mysterious layer in the shadow world?"
Listening to George's explanation, Gune immediately calmed down and listened carefully.
"In fact, after I awakened the extraordinary professional "Time Hunter", I could feel and see the existence of the hunting layer."
"Just like now, I can see the dim and shabby projection luster on the hunting layer, mottled shining on my body, and everything around is full of danger."
"When I grow up a bit, I understand that what I see is a deep inner world."
"A very peculiar and dangerous inner world, I call it the'hunting layer'."
"In the hunting layer."
"There is a very strange creature, they are humanoid. They have two slender legs and claws, a pair of fleshy wings, and their flying speed is amazing."
"There is a pair of peculiar arms under the wings. This pair of arms can be pulled up extremely long and has amazing lethality."
"They are slender and slender. They have three eyes on their foreheads, and they have strong stereo vision and perception."
"It is almost impossible to approach silently."
"This kind of creature, at the first rank, has a height of five meters."
"And as their strength continues to increase, their size will also increase."
"Basically it looks like one step and two meters."
"Every time their realm, their strength will increase sharply."
"Of course, the most important point, I haven't said yet."
"That is... they have a terrible tongue."
"Using this tongue, they can penetrate power into reality within the hunting layer, and lick human time."
"Lick time?" Guni's expression moved slightly.
"Time is an abstract concept, can this thing lick food?"
"Or in this extraordinary world, does time have special extraordinary attributes?"
Gone pondered for a while and suddenly asked.
"Are you sure this is licking time?"
"OK." George nodded slightly.
"Because... I can see... time!"
"See the time." Gone was startled.
"Okay! Hunter this time, it's... really extraordinary." Gune spread his hands.
Then Gune continued to speak: "What is the situation after being licked?"
"Being licked loses time, and once time is lost, it will inevitably be corrected. In the process of correction, those who lose time will be washed away by mysterious power."
"The flushing is intuitively manifested as the aging of the body, soul, and physical functions, as well as the loss of extraordinary characteristics. These are all carried out unknowingly and basically will not be noticed."
"This is indeed a very weird creature." Gune nodded in thought.
George continued.
"These guys who can lick their lives and make humans lose their lives, I call them ‘death beasts’."
"They are indeed the guys who can lead the death **** forward. They are called death beasts, and they fit quite well." Gune thought secretly.
"Death beasts are very powerful, but also very cunning and smart. They specialize in licking humans with a long lifespan, especially when they are asleep."
"On the hunting level, when being licked, one bite can lick a human for two or three days."
"The most terrifying place is here, that kind of creature, every time they lick their food, they will not catch a lick specifically, they will almost lick all the people nearby, each of them licked more than a dozen mouthfuls and then put them down. ."
"This thing... stalk wool, but also knows to separate stalks, this level of intelligence, crushes many people!" Gune was shocked.
"Before, you asked me, why didn't you report to the top of the transcendental association?"
George spoke slowly.
"Because, when I was young, I told my teacher, and my teacher told me to keep a secret anyway and not tell anyone."
"Actually, the decision my teacher helped me was very correct."
"Because... these creatures are some mysterious existence... grazing!"
"Mysterious existence uses human life time as aquatic plants... and grazes." Gunje narrowed his eyes slightly, his fists tightened a lot.
This doesn't treat us humans as human beings, but treats humans as walking flesh and blood.
"Also, there is more than one herder." George said softly.
"And in the Magnolia Transcendent Association, there are their shadows."
"And that's why I dare not say it."
"Once I report, I am afraid I will not be far from death."
"I don't know if you have noticed that with the rise of extraordinary steam machines, those evil spirits and foreign races are also surging."
"The alien races in the depths of the Alto Mountains in the north, which were originally scattered, have also cooperated against us humans."
"You should also know that some people are secretly contributing to the situation, and these herders are one of the driving forces."
"Those who graze death beasts and lick human lives do not put human lives in their eyes at all. In their eyes, humans are just walking flesh and blood."
As George finished his explanation, both of them fell into a brief silence.
Ignore the mysterious existence of life, graze the strange monsters that can lick time, and fuel the wave of the times.
Gone echoed all the words George said in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This world is more complicated and mysterious than I thought."
After a moment of thought, Gune looked at George.
"You are not afraid of me telling the news?"
"Of course I am afraid."
"But I need the help of a strong teammate."
"Teammate? Help?" Gune chewed the word.
"Have you been in contact with them?"
"Yes, I was already very strong when I was an extraordinary second-order. I think I should be able to kill a first-order death beast."
"I borrowed the power of time, entered the hunting layer, and hunted a Tier 1 Death Beast."
"As a result, I almost died, and that guy, he escaped."
"Escaped." Gune thought secretly.
"The power of the death beast is beyond imagination. I can't deal with it by myself. Moreover, sometimes these death beasts do not act alone. It is possible in groups of three or five."
"After all, I am alone and weak. And this is why I want to find a strong partner to hunt these death beasts together."
"With my abilities, I can bring transcendents one level lower than me into the hunting layer."
"Among all the transcendents I have encountered, being able to be in the first transcendental level gives me such a strong sense of danger, never before."
"That's why you came to find me?" Gune continued gently.
"Yes, I really need a teammate like you, so I am willing to take this risk."
After thinking about it, Gune said slowly again.
"I am a wizard, and I am currently engaged in world framing, deep learning of the shadow world, and even analysis of runes."
"The hunting layer you mentioned is a mysterious layer in the shadow world."
"Entering it, it should be of great help to my study."
"So, you are lucky, I am willing to cooperate with you." Gune said softly.
"Huh..."
Seeing Gune promised himself, George was relieved at this time.
"Although you say Tier 1 is invincible, you may not be able to kill those Tier 1 death beasts."
"My plug-in doesn't like to listen to you," Gune secretly said.
"Perhaps!" Gune didn't argue too much.
"In our Suge Ruins City, there are two death beasts under grazing, one second-tier and the other third-tier. They have been licking food for many years."
"The short life span of many laborers who work hard to make money is largely caused by death beasts."
"If they continue to grow, it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future."
"My goal is that second-tier death beast."
"I am currently at the third level, and I can bring second-level transcendents into it."
"So, when you are promoted to Tier 2, and you reach the peak of Tier 2, we will have the opportunity to join forces to destroy that Tier 2 Death Beast."
"This will take a while, and now, I am not in a hurry."
"And ~lightnovelpub.net~After this hunt, we have to hide our tracks so that the herders cannot find us."
"After all, it is not trivial to be able to graze such creatures."
"Hmm." Guni nodded slightly.
After talking about some details, the two stopped.
Guni looked gently at the night outside the glass.
"Time hunter, hunting layer, prey."
Gone chewed on some of the relationships.
"There should be some George didn't tell me, but I can guess it."
"This hunt...should help him to some extent, but this is not the point."
"The point is, this guy should also feel his own particularity, and he doesn't want our world to be played with by those terrifying existences, otherwise it would be better for him to ignore it."
"It took so much time and effort, and even ventured to contact me. Obviously, this is a guy with a sense of justice, which is a good thing."
"For me...I need to use this opportunity to further expand my deep understanding and perception of this world. This is very important for my rune road..."
"Secondly... to eliminate the mysterious existence of grazing, we should indeed do it. After all, I am also a member of the flesh and blood pasture in their eyes."
"If I am silent now, sooner or later, the death beast will lick my head, and at that time, no one will speak for me."
"Huh..."
Gune breathed lightly and looked at the deep dark night outside.
The depths of that mysterious and grotesque transcendental world is like a city shrouded in the night, where the outlines are vaguely visible but the horror and mystery in the darkness cannot be clearly seen.
