Chapter 563 The monster hunter that will appear
. There is a reason I said this word.
Even on Earth, those who catch monsters are called hunters. Skilled people in other worlds have their own words for being a knight or a wizard.
how is it here
‘It’s a place where monsters are accepted as everyday. Even here, strangers are called monsters.’
It’s been half a day since I sat quietly at the table and listened to what people were saying. I don’t know if it has any nutritional value, but there are words I’ve been hearing about.
And there were those who were classified separately as monster hunters.
It was like half a scammer.
“The monsters I killed are not one or two.”
I was still on the honest side. Because I really caught things that could be called monsters.
Even if ordinary people show only the by-products of monsters that are hard to see, trust will increase dramatically.
Without hesitation, he took out the by-products obtained from killing a 10th grade monster from the treasure bag. Scales and processed pupils that were pulled out from a monster that looked similar to a snake.
It is so large that even one scale is bigger than the palm of your hand. Not to mention eyeballs.
“Oh oh! It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this!”
“No, more than that, isn’t that a subspace pocket? There are many cases where there are no people from the guild, but this is a real monster hunter.”
Those who used to gossip each other in their fuss also focus on this side.
Even here, subspace artifacts were precious.
It seems to pull more aggro than intended, but it’s not bad.
“There are more than a hundred of them dead by my hand. Many of them are so bizarre and horrific that it is difficult to describe them in words. Compared to those guys, bloodsucking monsters are ridiculous.”
damn good. Scrape the empty bowl with a fork.
“Excuse me, but I overheard the story earlier. Vampires don’t care. He’s already caught.”
“You mean a vampire!”
“Look! am i right? Vampires really exist!”
“Eyy, but a little bit of a vampire. Isn’t this guy just talking?”
I laughed at the two of them arguing again.
“Vampires do exist. I bet you If you don’t believe me, I won’t bother persuading you, but I’ll let you know this one thing.”
He leaned forward and lowered his voice.
“It is very easy to identify a person who has been attacked by a vampire. If they had seen the body, they would have accepted it without question. because.”
He slowly clasped his palms.
“Really, they suck it up without leaving a single drop of blood. If you see a corpse that is about to crumble, don’t look back and run away. Does that mean he’s still nearby?”
gulp.
I hear swallowing at my words.
Even if it wasn’t for the two of them, it was the same for those around them who were listening.
He crossed his legs and shrugged his shoulders.
“The monster that attacked the beast I mentioned earlier is not a vampire. If they sucked people, they sucked, not animals. They say there are some oddballs, but they leave a mark.”
This is sincere. Considering their thirst for blood, it was normal for animals that were bigger than humans to be skinny.
Of course, there isn’t much of a thing like that. They are classified as monsters, but they also have intelligence. It is also an established theory in the academic world that it has its own culture.
However, apart from what I usually do, when I get hungry, I heard that there is no beast like that.
Yes. I just listened.
‘How come I’ve never met a proper vampire while climbing.’
I did meet a similar guy. Even so, it was a semi-vampire, not Jintung.
A monster that has been bitten and mutated by a vampire that serves as its host. That alone was a dangerous existence, but compared to a real vampire, it was not a class.
Even on Earth, there is not much information about vampires. It’s not that many cases have been found. It is said that most of them were found in a state close to malnutrition.
I stroked my chin.
Maybe we’ll run into each other on the 90th floor. I saw the giant for the first time after coming up. There’s no law saying that even a vampire shouldn’t do that.
This is the story afterward.
“From my point of view, it was the Chupacabra that attacked your livestock. I’ll take a look for myself if you want.”
“Oh oh! Thank you for saying that. They say I’m a mapader.”
“It’s Evil Eye.”
They shook hands casually and stood up from their seats. It’s time to find out what’s out there.
This is the village you must pass through to enter Bant Castle. It was also said that the fact that monsters roamed around such a place could well cause something similar to Bant Castle.
I don’t know if it’s a small fuss.
‘There are dozens of stories I’ve heard while sitting here.’
There were not one or two people who were in a similar situation to the man sitting in front of them.
* * *
A ranch run by a map father. It’s pretty authentic. An entire garden was being used as pasture, and free-roaming cattle and sheep chewed the grass with a relaxed expression.
It was a little different from what I know.
‘Why does a cow have one eye? A sheep has two tails.’
Hagiya, it’s a livestock from another world, so the shape may be a little different. The taste seemed to be similar.
He reached the scene, grumbling about what he had handed over, claiming to be jerky he had made.
“Here it is.”
“The body appears to have been removed.”
“Anyway, if you smell blood, wolves and other beasts may come.”
That’s right. The smell of blood spreads farther than expected.
If you didn’t intend to call the wild beasts, it was right to get rid of them quickly. You see, I’m a normal person.
The soil was covered to hide the smell of blood, but it wasn’t a big problem.
‘It’s strange.’
I put my finger in the dirt pile and pulled it out. It is damp because the ground is not dry.
There was a faint scent of blood on my fingertips.
Time passed and the sun rose. The fact that the blood has not hardened so far means that a large amount of blood has flowed out.
There’s nothing wrong with spilling this much, given the size of the livestock
.
Vampire bats, and most monsters that feed on blood, hunt neatly.
Because every drop of blood is food.
In terms of human behavior, this kind of behavior is…
“It’s like flipping a bowl halfway over and eating it.”
Are you still clumsy? Or use a hunting method I don’t know. Maybe not a vampire.
or neither.
“This might be a lot bigger than the Chupacabra I thought.”
I had no choice but to do it like this.
It’s doubtful anyway. You can be more certain by looking at the body. Fortunately, the map father collected the dead livestock separately.
Rather than leaving a clue, it seems that he was trying to make sausages out of meat that was used by peeling off the skin and had poor marketability.
Just looking at the hook hanging from the warehouse ceiling, it was like that.
Fortunately, the exterior was still there, probably before it was slaughtered.
“He has no chin. At least it doesn’t look like you’re going to chew on anything.”
“Do you see that just by looking at this?”
“Roughly.”
I made my decision.
The carcass of a one-eyed bull hanging on a hook. His stomach is ripped open.
Judging from the scars, it looks like it was severely torn with something like a claw. Other than that, there was no sign of a tooth implanted or a snout like a mosquito.
Still, in case you don’t know
“You didn’t draw blood separately, did you?”
“That’s not it. It’s been like this since I brought it.”
“Then I’m sure.”
The possibility that a monster of some size just attacked the livestock disappeared.
The dangling livestock had their blood sucked out of their bodies.
‘It’s a guy who draws out blood after getting a big wound and sucks it.’
The reason for this judgment was simple.
First, all the blood of the dead livestock came out. In other words, blood was the purpose. It must be his stock.
Second, the wound is great. A lot of blood spilled on the floor. If it had teeth or a beak that could suck blood, it would have finished its meal unscathed.
There is no need to waste blood.
Therefore, this monster…
‘It has no body organs to suck blood, but it is a powerful monster that can make a large amount of blood come out.’
As a bonus, he has the ability to squeeze blood from his body.
It seems to have the power to stop the bleeding from the wound.
In terms of skills, it’s like a major bleeding or a wound that won’t heal.
I quietly put my hand on the cut edge of the wound.
big. Looking at the area of the torn wound, I wonder if my fingernails are almost the size of my palm.
It’s ambiguous to say that it’s a large species, and it seems to fit roughly if it’s a medium-sized species, but this part is a problem.
‘I don’t think they’d have been caught at this size?’
Although this is a village before entering Bant Castle, it is quite large.
Outside of the village, I don’t know, but the inside is made up of its own composition.
Of course, the map father’s ranch is connected to the outside, but it is also closely connected to the village. If it does appear, it is normal to have witnesses, whether it be vigilantes or those who have not been able to sleep at night.
Even this was not the only ranch that was damaged.
“Securet over there with a hacienda was also damaged, so maybe he knows the details.”
A similar thing happened in a place larger than here, he said.
After hearing the details, it turns out that there are not only a few shepherds there, but there are also guards who professionally guard livestock.
In other words, the Chupacabra that appeared here only appeared when there were no people like ghosts.
This is so strange.
how to say
‘It seems like I can tell when no one is around.’
It’s fun.
I raised my eyebrows.
“Didn’t you say that there is a cycle in which the Chupacabra commits crimes?”
“uh. I’m not sure, but it was once a week.”
It was said that the period of time that one could endure without sucking blood was about a week. And it was here about six days ago that the last crime took place.
then.
“I’m going to need some help with this.”
I think I can sell a suitable trap.
* * *
Two days have passed.
In the meantime, I wandered around the ranch nestled in the village.
It wasn’t that I was walking around. I just walked around lightly, like taking a walk. Although the purpose was clear.
‘Fortunately, it’s fortunate that I have things that can make money.’
I stayed in the village for two days and exchanged valuable metals and rare medicines for money.
It was a necessary process because he had to spend money even after entering the Bant castle. I didn’t change it enough to spread rumors excessively, but the money that came into my hands was quite a bit, and I made a deal with the ranch owners.
‘Do not release livestock to the ranch under the pretext of the appearance of the Chupacabra.’
It doesn’t matter if the animals are kept in pens for days. Even in our world right now, there are many cases where they are locked up and raised like factories rather than released in the meadow.
Of course, it costs that much feed, but I paid more than that. I was told to keep it in a cage for just four days.
A week has passed. It is said that the time has come for the Chupacabra to appear, unable to bear the hunger.
I thought about it from the moment I heard the explanation about him.
“He’s not an out-of-the-way beast.”
When looking at the wounds of dead livestock, it has the power to rip and kill quite a few beasts.
Why would such a bastard raid livestock?
‘It must be that the environment is difficult to catch wild animals.’
Yes. I thought he wasn’t a monster living in the wild.
I think that’s the reason why I can avoid people’s eyes and appear.
Hiding among the straw, he focused on his five senses.
A dark night when the sun goes down.
The guy will show up. It doesn’t matter if you don’t reveal it. The culprit will be there. Either way is a good outcome.
I quietly waited for time to pass.
–
His eyes lit up at the sound of someone’s presence within a rustle.
