Chapter Ninety-Six: Into the Mist

Arthur came out of the teleportation magic array, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the towering Fog Spirit Mountain in front of him.

The mountain is not steep but towering like a cloud, and from the halfway up the mountain, it is shrouded in a dense fog that does not disperse all year round.

No one knew the reason for the formation of these dense fogs, and there were great magicians who used twelfth-level fire-based magic to bombard the dense fog, but when all the flames burned out, the dense fog on the mountain did not thin out a bit.

"Everyone is resting on the spot, and we will officially launch an attack from noon. Steelbean shouted a command to the dwarven warriors who had just come out of the magic circle.

Noon is the thinnest fog of the day in Wuling Mountain, and it is also the attack time that the four clans have agreed together. The gentle terrain of the Wuling Mountain also created favorable conditions for the various ethnic groups to attack from all sides.

"First the Ice Valley of Despair, and now the Fog Spirit Mountain, I find the days spent following this little guy of you more interesting than wandering around the continent when I was younger. Shino held his sword and looked at the misty mountain in front of him and said jokingly.

Arthur smiled, "Then you will follow me in the future, right?"

"I like you more and more now, what do you think of our Lucy, think about being my son-in-law?"

"You, don't be kidding!" Arya was not far from Arthur's side at this time, and Sino's bluntness made Arthur extremely embarrassed.

Arthur and the others are a group of six this time, in addition to the two general-level thugs of Sino and Spence, there are also Joan, Huey and Arya, although Arya is only a fourth-level priest, her light magic healing ability is urgently needed by the entire team.

Seeing Arthur's embarrassed look, Sino stopped teasing him, "Don't stay too far away from me after entering the mountain for a while, just like the last time you entered the ice valley, your task is to ensure that you survive." ”

Time flies by in excitement and apprehensive waiting. At noon, the dwarven team launched a surprise attack on the Misty Spirit Mountain.

Dwarves are accustomed to hiking mountain roads, and dwarven warriors with the lowest strength of a war school step on the mountain beams as if they were walking on flat ground, and the speed of marching through the mountains is fast.

The dwarves dispatched a total of five general-level dwarves in this operation, Steel Bean and two general-level dwarves opened the way at the front, the other two were on the left and right of the team, and Arthur and his Terrans were in the middle of the team.

From the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, more than 2,000 meters, the dwarven team only took more than an hour, and the speed was so fast that Arya couldn't even keep up later, and Arthur had to carry her on his back and run through the mountain.

Entering the dense fog above the mountainside, the dwarves slowed down for a moment, and the danger really began at this moment.

These white fogs with an icy aura were unusually thick, and when they were a few meters away, they began to lose sight of the figures in front of them, and it was very easy to get lost in the dense fog.

Arthur tried to release the magical black mist, but the black mist spread outward at an unusually slow rate, and severely affected the perception of darkness, and it seemed that even the dark mage was severely limited in this environment. Also trying is Shino, who flew directly into the air, but the entire air above the mountainside was covered in dense fog, and Shino, who was in the air, still couldn't discern the direction.

Not only did the dwarves move slower, but they also moved closer to each other, and elite dwarven warriors held their shields and their hands rested on the sides of their weapons.

Without warning, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the dense fog, and a sharp blade wrapped in fighting spirit pierced through the dense fog and shot towards the dwarf team from the left and right wings.

The dwarven warrior, who was always on guard, instantly raised his shield to block his body, and at the same time threw a throwing axe in the direction where the blade was fired.

The dwarven generals on the left and right even waved their weapons against the sharp blades of the firing fire.

The battle began abruptly and ended quickly, and the killers hidden in the fog scattered after the dwarven general rushed forward. The two dwarven generals each brought back the corpses of the two men in black, and they were both the lowest-level captain-level killers.

Only three warriors on the dwarven side were slightly wounded, and they were cut through the skin by a sharp blade when they were first attacked.

But just as the dwarves next to them helped to bandage them, all three dwarves convulsed and fell.

"Poison, there is poison in their secret weapons!" the dwarf hurriedly fetched the antidote and fed it to the dwarven warriors.

Dwarves live underground all year round, and some highly venomous snakes, insects and beasts are often encountered, so there are also some commonly used antidotes.

But after feeding the antidote, it had no effect, and his face quickly turned black, and he was dying after only a moment's effort.

You must know that the stronger the martial artist, the stronger the physical fitness, and it is difficult for ordinary poisons to cause harm to martial artists above the combat school, but these poisons found by the Divine Punishment Killer are extremely vicious, and ordinary antidotes are ineffective.

"Help cut open the wound and force all the poisonous blood out. Arthur came to help, and while cutting the wound open to bleed, he gave each of the wounded dwarves two drops of the Elven Mother Tree liquid.

Although Arthur does not know how to detoxify, the treatment method he adopts is very simple, release the poisonous blood, and at the same time carry the damage of the toxin to the body by replenishing the strong life force.

After some tossing, the situation of the two dwarves finally turned around, and their faces began to regain their blood, but there was still one dwarven warrior who could not be rescued.

As soon as they entered the thick fog, there was a attrition, which cast a shadow over the entire team.

What is even more worrying is that this encounter is not known whether the dwarven team happened to bump into the outer guard of the "Divine Judgment", or whether these killers had already received the news and deliberately ambushed it? If it is the latter, the matter is even more serious, indicating that there are still hidden secrets of the Divine Judgment in the high-ranking members of the four clans.

The dwarven team behind them traveled more carefully, and the general-level warriors, including Shino and Spence, roamed the perimeter of the team as much as possible to prevent the Divine Punishment killer from raiding.

Covered by the thick fog, these killers were simply unguarded, and from time to time they sprang out from behind rocks and caves in the mountains to attack the dwarven ranks.

These killers have been professionally trained, and they lurk motionless before launching the assassination, not revealing a trace of breath, and even general-level powerhouses such as Steel Bean and Shino can't find it.

Then, as the dwarven warrior passes by, he suddenly bursts out and walks away, and if he can't escape, he will fight and die.

The incessant assassinations caused endless trouble and increasing casualties to the dwarven ranks, killing seven or eight elite dwarven warriors in less than an hour. Although dozens of black-clothed killers have died for it, most of them are lowest-level killers, and for the huge killer organization of "Divine Punishment", captain-level killers are nothing more than cannon fodder.

The dwarves roared in anger, and the dwarven warriors were more suitable for frontal combat on the battlefield, but there was nothing they could do about this kind of strange assassination that came one after another.

The steel bean who was leading the way at the front suddenly stopped, because he had noticed something more terrible, and the mountain road under his feet seemed to have been walked before......
