40. Luck and misfortune
Shake, shake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Anduin groaned and opened his eyes from the deep darkness, and he tried to reach out and rub his aching head, only to find that his body was tied.
The little prince looked down and saw that a circle of leather rope tied him to the back of the Kodomon, the shaking just now was the shaking of the Kodomon when he walked, he hurriedly turned his head to look left and right, only to find that Median was also tied to the back of the other Kodomon, compared to the treatment of the little prince, Median's guard was tighter.
His hands and legs were bound in chains, and he was unconscious.
The sky around him was getting brighter, but it was still the last touch of darkness before dawn, and a bright star hung above Anduin's head, and the little prince, after realizing his situation, did not plan to do anything recklessly, but quietly observed his surroundings.
This doesn't seem to be the scope of Firas anymore!
The lush greenery that can be seen everywhere around has become a Gobi-like environment, and the little prince feels that there is a special shade around him, and even some seeps, in the distance where the shadow pupil is located, there is a towering pillar erected, and their group, at the bottom of this pillar, along a road, is moving quickly towards the southeast.
Anduin sensed that someone was coming, he hurriedly closed his eyes, pretending that he was still unconscious, and with a few orc words that he did not understand, he faded away, and the little prince looked and opened his eyes again, and he looked ahead, and in this deep darkness, there was no light, no torches, only a silent procession.
He kept imagining the face he had seen before he fainted.
Covered in grotesque scars and disgusting slime, it was Gugar, Anduin was sure, but wasn't the ogre dead?
He was killed by Dick himself in the gladiatorial arena, and even his body was purified and burned, how could he be resurrected?
"You're going to lose both of them soon!"
What does this mean? Anduin was a little afraid to think about it.
When Anduin was frightened, on the strongest side of the team, Gugar was walking on the barren land of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest with a cold face, just as Anduin said, his face was covered with strange scars and some yellow slime, and outside of the heavy black robes, Gugar's body lingered with a disgusting smell, like the dregs of flesh and blood after distillation.
It was the aftermath of the resurrection of the two-headed ogre, and the skin and flesh of his whole body came from the strongest warriors of the two-headed Godok ogre kingdom, which was the back hand he left for himself, and the moment he was beheaded by Dick, his soul broke away from his body and began the painful and disgusting resurrection process.
He was holding a staff made of twisted white bones in his hand, and at the very top of the staff, there was an orc's skull, which he unscrewed off with his own hands, and then made a souvenir, after all, Gugar was the lucky one who received Cthun's own power, and he could become the leader of the Twilight Church, definitely not just relying on Cthun's trust, when Gugar woke up, K'l's subordinate, the orc who claimed to be the master of Twilight, was lobbying King Goddock to belong to K'l's command.
The tragedy of Kerris is that when the angry Gugar tried to kill him, he shamelessly confessed to Ker'thugad, but when Gugar asked him to trick Kel'thugad into setting up an ambush, he could not contact the cunning lich at all.
Only then did the orc realize that when he cleverly proposed to take over the ogres of the Goddock Kingdom, he had already been abandoned by Kel'thugad.
His death will also tell Kel'thugad, who has returned to the Eastern Kingdom, that Gugar is not dead.
Kerris is just a small person involved in the game between Gugar and Kel'thugad, and a wave costs him his life, and Gugar is also a ruthless man, and when he realizes that things have collapsed to the extreme, he decisively makes a very risky move.
Instigated the Godok ogre, who had been controlled by Chaos, to attack the ceremonial scene of the gladiatorial arena, and then personally captured Median and Anduin, and then fled all the way to the southeast with his trusted subordinates, he had to rush to Silisus as fast as possible, which was his territory, although he was now being hit hard by those adventurers, but there, Gugar was confident that he could block the follow-up pursuers with the previous arrangement.
Capturing Anduin was to lure out Lagosh, with the ogre's magical attainments, he could see at a glance that Lagosh's soul was incomplete, thinking of Benedictas in the Stormwind Kingdom, Gugar instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy in this, and capturing Median was another of the ogre's plans.
He had already failed once in the twilight church's infighting, and his minions left in the Twilight Heights had been purged by Kel'thugad, and the power of the Goddock ogre was completely insufficient in this dispute, and he needed a stronger force.
Karazan... Gugar was full of fear of that place, more than ten years ago, he was one of the people who had seen Medivan's infinite power with his own eyes, but with Median, who had the eternal Karazan magic node on his body, he could also break into that place, and if he could master some of the secrets left by Medivan, he would have the capital to make a comeback.
The cultists are very realistic, and it is not his question what fate will happen to the Godok ogres who remain there after Gugal leaves Firas overnight.
Looking up at the fading night sky above his head, Gugar coughed, and waved the staff in his hand slightly,
"Hurry up! We must pass through the Thousand Needles Stone Forest today and reach Tanaris!"
The black-clad cultists behind him silently drove the Kodomon, and they also needed to be careful when walking in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, which had been overrun by the Minotaur of the Terror Totem, and those warlike ones, although they were irascible, still followed shamanic teachings, and had a conflict of faith with the Twilight Church, which forcibly enslaved the elements, and most of the time, the two would break out into battle when they met.
Right now, with the strength of this team, if they encounter those savage minotaurs, except for Gugar and a few masters, everyone else is really certain to die. Now they are like rats crawling quietly in the pre-dawn darkness, and they have to carefully push away all threats, and at this time, any accident is fatal.
But Gugar's luck seemed to be good, and by the time the first rays of sunlight pierced the haze and appeared in the sky, they had passed through the base camp of the Terror Totem, the place where the stone pillars known as the Stormy Hill gathered, and the terrain here was a large canyon, and the scorching wind blew overhead, and the bottom of the canyon looked quite shady.
After passing through the Stormy Hills, there is no danger except for the wandering centaur tribes, the glittering plains in the southeast of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest directly border the desert of Tanaris, where Gugar has to change camels, and it only takes a day to reach the hot sand harbor, where there is a secret camp of the Twilight cultists, and once you get there, Gugal's adventure is over.
But just five minutes after passing through the Stormy Hill, Gugal felt that his luck was still too bad, and the roadblock appeared.
Lagosh and Bearskin stood in front of Gugar's team, Liadline and Verinde stood in the shade, Darth in the form of a dragonman shrugged his shoulders unruly, holding a blood-colored sword in one hand and an obsidian blade in the other, and behind them, some of the Sindra swordsmen led by Drarys formed a loose formation, and it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.
"Wow"
A chilling light flowed on the blade of Excalibur Sarameni, and the sun shone on the edge of this blade, reflecting the cold face of Lagosh,
"Put down those two children, ogre, I can let you go!"
Gugal reached out and took off the black hood on top of his head, and the two ugly outrageous faces showed a rampant smile,
"I'm curious, where did you know that I'm going to pass through here?"
"Quack, I guess another guy leaked the secret! I'll just say someone is plotting against us!"
Lagosh did not answer, nor did the others, they drew their weapons, apparently intending to break through head-on.
"Kill them!"
The white bone staff in Gugar's hand swung forward, and the cultists in heavy black robes drew their weapons one after another, like indifferent dead people, and rushed towards the opponent opposite, Lagosh dragged the heavy sword in his hand and rushed forward without fear, the bear skin was still a little weak, but as soon as he waved his hand, the thick vines broke out of the ground, fixing those cultists on the ground, and the dragons and Lagosh who were charged like tanks, as well as those swordsmen, easily cut down.
But soon, they found out that something was wrong with these cultists, obviously they had been cut in two, but after the human body was destroyed, something more terrifying and darker surged out from under the body, and within a few minutes, several disgusting monsters fused together from the corpse waved their slime tentacles, stalking Lagosh and the others, and finally even Liadline had to join the battle in the surge of holy light.
Gugal turned around with a sinister smile, he didn't care about being stopped by these pursuers, this team, except for him and a few cronies, were all senior cultists, and their souls had long been infected by chaos, so it was perfect to use them as outcasts.
"Rats hiding away, stay away from my prey!"
"Quack, I see her! right next to that blonde imp! She thought we couldn't see her, Quack. ”
Valella, who was hiding in the shadows, had a heartbeat, and hurriedly dodged to the side, and the next moment, a purple chaotic fire burst out of Gugar's palm, and slammed into the place where Valera had just stood, purple flames drifted in the air, Anduin's scream made Lagosh go crazy, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the blood-colored storm surged around his body, and a sword slashed the flesh monster that was constantly fusing in front of him, and it broke through in the direction of Gugal.
The purple whip pulled a black scorching trail out of the ground, and Valella was forced out of her stealth and surrounded by a few silent orc cultists.
"You guys just play here, I'm leaving!"
"Tell Dick, Quack, that the next time we come back, everything he knows will be completely ruined!
Gugal's trademark second voice rang out over the chaotic battlefield, and he grinned as he looked at the rushing Lagosh, grabbed the struggling Anduin with one hand, and the scolding Median with the other, and carried it on his shoulder, and even waved his hand at Lagosh viciously.
The next moment, the purple light curtain shattered, and Gugar disappeared in place with the figures of the two children, and at the moment of unification, Sarameni slashed through the air with a fatal light, and stuck on the ground where Gugal was, Lagosh looked at the empty ground, clenched his fists tightly, drew his heavy sword and reflexively joined the battle.
He had to chop something to vent his anger, or he was afraid that he would get out of control.
On the other side, on the border of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest and the Glittering Plains, Gugar's body tumbled out of the purple light, Anduin and Median were thrown far away, and the ogre's huge body lay on the ground, like a fish thrown ashore, breathing heavily.
His chest was covered with purple blood, and the pressure of forced teleportation caused his body to be torn apart again, Gugar was not as advantageous as he seemed on the surface, and the damage caused to his soul by Dick was not exempt from a different body, and his majesty in front of Lagosh was just a paper tiger.
The ogre didn't even have the confidence to confront the furious Lagosh head-on, so he fled in a hurry.
But it's okay.
Gugar touched the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked back at the northwest, and finally escaped.
He stood up on his cane and put Anduin and Median back on his shoulders, intending to find a camel first, but just as he was taking a step, another ray of teleportation light bloomed not far from him.
Together, there was a shrill voice.
"Ahhh
