Chapter 136 The Way to Death
"Ugh--"
This sneak attack was also a common trick used by the Chopper Fishman. Unfortunately, in order to deal with the forest soul in the middle of the road, he took the initiative to reveal his figure and did not show his superb skills.
The fish-cutter saw something familiar in the movements of the guy who attacked him. Perhaps he was a friend of his. Unfortunately, Lin Hun swung his sword too fast, and everything was settled before he could see his face clearly.
The machete fishman picked up a corner of the rag on his body from behind, and put it directly into his mouth without thinking it was dirty. He bit the corner of his hand with his teeth, pulled hard, and casually tore off a piece of the few cloth strips behind him, tied it to the machete, and hung it behind his back.
Lin Hun bent down and casually picked up an item from the pile at the foot of the house. That was the thing that attracted his attention at the beginning - a devastated skull.
Lin Hun, who has chopped off countless heads, can guarantee with his professional experience that this thing is definitely a human skull.
The entire head was as clean as if it had been treated with special chemicals; even in the corners between the teeth there was no trace of flesh.
There is a large hole in the center of the top of the skull, and there are other holes of varying sizes nearby.
On the skull, there were steel nails entangled among the white and black hair of varying thicknesses. The perpetrator left behind the tools of the crime in a very bold and even provocative way.
There are more than one such skulls in this corner alone, and at least twenty at a glance.
Eighteen heads. At a glance, Lin Hun had confirmed the number of skulls, including the skull that was cruelly cut open and only half was left, which was also counted as one. This meant that in this pile alone, there were eighteen humans who had been killed at the hands of the old hunter.
The skulls were piled up randomly in a disorderly manner, and it was obvious that they were not meant to intimidate the villagers in the fishing village, but more like garbage discarded at random after the experiment.
The empty eye sockets of each skull looked out at the empty doors, welcoming every visitor into the endless hell.
Although there is no flesh and blood, Lin Hun's keen intuition can still feel the sticky pain and torture remaining in the deep eye sockets. They are also an indispensable part of the dream curse.
Feeling neither fear nor terror, Lin Hun slid his fingertips along the hollow cross-section. Although it was not a regular circle, through the smooth cross-section and the slight bumps that could only be felt by putting the fingers close together, it was obvious that the person who opened the brain must have moved slowly and carefully.
But deep marks appear abruptly in patches on the edges and cross-sections of the brain hole, clearly showing the explorer's barbarity and violence, which is completely inconsistent with the style of opening the brain.
If the brain opener uses a precise scalpel, the explorer uses a rough saw.
Aren't they the same group of people? Lin Hun had doubts in his heart, but he soon figured it out. A group of big-money hunters are armed forces rather than scholars. Their main goal is to crush them with force. It is difficult to distinguish good things, so they have to rely on the scholars with them.
The machete came up from the side of Lin Hun, looked at the thing in Lin Hun's hand with an unfriendly face, and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"You said you came to see the situation in the village, but in fact you came to the village to better 'admire' the 'good deeds' done by your predecessors!"
Machete deliberately emphasized the so-called "admiration" and "good deeds", and with his other hand he reached for the machete held in his armpit from behind. As long as Lin Hun's answer was not to his liking, he would swing the machete without hesitation, and let's see who is afraid of who!
"First of all," Lin Hun said, his eyes never leaving the skull, "I came from somewhere else. I'm not familiar with these old hunters at all. I'm not even a hunter, so how can I be called a senior?"
"Tsk, maybe." Machete glanced at Lin Hun's outfit without comment. You said you are not a hunter with this outfit, are you deliberately making fun of me?
Lin Hun was just speaking the truth, and had no intention of deliberately trying to please Machete, but fortunately he did not touch Machete's sensitive spot, and Machete's palm left the handle.
"Secondly, I don't admire the hunters' behavior. I just want to witness what the hunters do from an outsider's more objective perspective."
"Sh ...
Perhaps in the past, the machete still held some illusions for hunters who were also human beings, but bloody facts had shown him the true nature of hunters - more brutal and crazy than wild beasts.
"Damn it indeed."
"Wha...what?"
Kandao blinked in confusion, and there was a loud bang in his head. He felt the world spinning and looked at Lin Hun in confusion, not daring to believe his ears.
Lin Hun put the sword back into the scabbard behind his back, and gently put the skull in his hand back to its original position. He deliberately stretched out his thumbs and index fingers to form a triangle position, pressing on both sides of the skull and slowly straightening it.
At this moment, Lin Hun's back was wide open and he was completely defenseless. It looked like even a child wielding a machete could easily kill him.
However, the machete fishman's head was buzzing and his heart was in turmoil because of Lin Hun's words. He just glanced at it and didn't care at all.
If it was really that easy to kill him by surprise, why would it take this long? Machete was not a fool, and he vaguely guessed that Lin Hun was fishing.
Only the worst fishermen would fall for such a simple trick.
Only when Lin Hun placed the skull in the exact same position as when he picked it up did he slowly exhale and stand up, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"These hunters are indeed deadly for being able to do such cruel things to humans. Their thirst for knowledge and their desire to level up have driven them crazy. Fortunately, they were trapped in the dreamland early. If these old hunters were still alive, I'm afraid there would be many more fishing villages like this."
It was unknown whether this group of old hunters had good or bad luck, as they had completed their goal and met the superior Kos so early in their journey of exploring the world. Afterwards, they were cursed for killing Kos and taking away the unborn child in her belly, and were trapped in a dream forever.
"With such a coincidence, it's no wonder Kos suspected that other superiors were behind it."
A cluster of flames rose from nowhere and appeared from the bottom, covering all the skulls like a silent drizzle.
Lin Hun was not hiding the old hunter's crime, he just wanted to alleviate the sin and hatred in the dream and help the nightmare recover as soon as possible, that's all.
As for atonement for the old hunter, Lin Hun said it was none of his business and he would naturally bear the consequences of his own actions.
"What are you doing!!!" Machete suddenly yelled and rushed out. Regardless of the heat of the flames, he reached out and took out a burning skull and slapped it wildly, trying to extinguish the flames.
