210. Battle of Crystal Mountain

In Africa, there are probably dozens of places called crystal mountains, perhaps because the mountains are empty and the scenery looks like a crystal transparent feeling, or perhaps because there are crystal mines in the mountains. Sometimes, there are even mountains that are incomparably large crystals with a layer of rock and soil wrapped around them.

This crystal mountain itself is a crystal mine, but it has never been mined, and even those scientific expeditions and geographical mapping teams have not carried out detailed surveys of the vicinity of this place, because the proximity to this place is extremely dangerous for people who do not have special abilities. Having dumped Hermione in the UNHCR camp, leaving two squires to protect them, Zolin and Pauletta became more deeply integrated into the homegrown fighting force.

Pauletta was even more involved with You Chendu, accompanied by those jīng British warriors to investigate. Compared to those jīng warriors, Pauletta, who has a keen senses, doesn't mind showing off her transfiguration and other abilities in front of these teams that are mostly not ordinary people, and the results of the investigation are far more detailed than those jīng warriors who rely on experience and instinct. What's more, Pauletta has a lot of experience fighting the Dark Council, and has a better understanding of the various styles of the Dark Council.

"There was a camp in the col ahead, and it was cleaned after the withdrawal, leaving few clues. Here they stayed for at least 3 days, probably two days before they withdrew from the camp. …… I think it's southwest, closer to the border. I pursued about 70 kilometers to the southwest, found a few sentry posts, and did not want to startle the snakes, so I did not come any closer, but I judged that the other party should have a camp near there. The opponent's strength is very strong, and the werewolf will only obviously leak the smell after transforming, and this amount is difficult to judge. However, there are at least two necromancers on the opposing team, and their smell is stronger. And also...... There are a few devil contractors, and the smell is very mixed, and I don't know what it looks like. There aren't many vampires. The rest, presumably, are ordinary people. I ran back and forth a few times along the way, and I saw some traces of moving heavy objects, if it wasn't a heavy weapon, it should be construction machinery or something, and I think the other party should have found the right position. Or, at least, it's close. Pauletta's sketchy map of the dirt with twigs and the locations of his various discoveries, his sense of smell became a sharp weapon for sentry sentry, which could not be compared to that of the most gifted Jīng warriors.

The leader of this large army was an old warrior named Okonkovo, who was actually the leader of a small tribe. But in a radius of thousands of miles, he is still a legendary existence. He once led seven tribal warriors to kill a heavily armed team of more than 50 people who were smuggling and buying arms in the name of scientific investigations. In turbulent Africa, the number of killings may not mean anything, but a soldier's command ability and bearing cannot be imitated.

"Brave warrior, do you have any suggestions?" After a few days of running-in, everyone already regarded Pauletta and Zolin as part of the team. Pauletta is better able to scout the situation, arrange routes and terrain. Zuolin, on the other hand, can treat simple symptoms with locally produced herbs, or even plant stems, leaves, flowers, or the secretions of some insects, when there is a great shortage of medicine at hand. After 4 days of hard work, there was zero non-combat attrition.

In the team, as long as you can prove your worth, you will be respected by everyone. Moreover, as you are respected, your status in the team will also increase. No matter what kind of profession you specialize in, as long as everyone trusts you, even if it is just one aspect of you, they will be called a leader, or one of the leaders.

Okonkovo wanted to ask Pauletta what he thought of the situation.

Pauletta looked at Zuo Lin and said, "I'll go find out the location of the other party's camp." If possible, I suppose, launching a raid would have a good effect. ”

"Leopards crawling in the grass always catch their prey," Okonkovo nodded, already seeing the subordination between Pauletta and Zorin, and asked Zorin, "What do you think, genius doctor?"

Zuo Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think you can try to assault, but you also have to prevent being attacked by the other party." Since they had moved their camp so carefully, there was no reason why they were unprepared against an attack that would be directed at them. And, one thing I'm curious about, the Dark Council apparently has a lot more information on hand than we do, and even a map to get here so quickly. Don't you think it's strange that a group of outsiders know more about this place than those of you who grew up in it?"

Okonkovo said solemnly: "Yes, I think it's strange. There was once a rumor that the descendants of the Tuwang were not exterminated, but were taken to the colonists' homeland and turned into slaves. We've always had doubts about it. The descendants of the great king will not be obscure, but it seems that whether the descendants of the earth king are still alive or not, at least the maps, utensils, and records that can point others to this place should still be in the hands of those people. So many years have passed since the legend of the Earth King, and I'm afraid that even the oldest wise man here can't explain it. He paused and said, "Friend, you're right, we need to be more cautious, more careful. The hunter looks at the prey, but in the eyes of the prey, the hunter can also be food. ”

Okonkovo gave Zorin the power to inspect the camp and inspect the sentry posts. In this ranks, this is almost equivalent to acknowledging the authority of Zolin who is second only to him. Pauletta, on the other hand, goes out alone and does a stealth reconnaissance in an attempt to discover the camp of the Dark Council.

However, just as Zolin had made his rounds of the camp, Pauletta had only set off for less than 30 minutes. A fire rose in the direction of Crystal Mountain, and explosions rang out one after another.

"Someone is sneaking up on the camp of the Dark Council. I don't know where it came from, it seems to be another group of tribal warriors. In less than ten minutes, Pauletta, who was riding the chaos at full speed, rushed back and reported the situation.

Okonkovo's eyes were filled with doubt, but he quickly ordered: "Leave half of the men to guard the camp, and the rest will set off with me." We went to support our friends who didn't know where they came from. ”

Zuo Lin, who had always maintained his physical strength and followed the movement of the large army, did not show his strong combat effectiveness for the first time in front of everyone when he approached the several distracted sentry posts that the other party had set up in their direction. The delicate branches turned into a longbow with a magnificent shape, and arrows with mimosa-shaped tail feathers seemed to appear in his hand out of thin air.

The arrow didn't make any sound, and it sank directly into the body of a werewolf who had not yet had time to transform. Pieces of arrow tail feathers turned into sharp blades, and at once the poor werewolf was sliced to pieces. This is an advanced extension of Zuo Lin's archery skills, and injecting a little force of nature into the arrow can achieve several times the killing effect. And this is the first time Zuo Lin has used this simple technique.

For the sentinels who were surprised by the attack on this side, the warriors sent the first wave of throwing guns, and although they successfully eliminated the two werewolves, there were still 8 werewolves who successfully transformed and roared and pounced. A werewolf's shrill howl announced the beginning of the battle.

As a dark wizard, Yu Chendu is very fond of melee combat. A cloud of smoke rose from the cracks in his loose clothes, and anyone with good eyesight could see that the smoke was made up of countless extremely small flying insects. As long as he is sold by these flying insects, then this guy is basically useless.

Pauletta did not get entangled in the combat power of the periphery, and he rushed directly in a straight line to the place where the fire rose. He had only had time to catch a glimpse before he went back to report the situation. There were indeed quite a few masters who entered the camp of the Dark Council, and the leaders seemed to be very capable priests, and besides, they were not native priests of African Christianity, but whites. With a Bible in one hand and a silver cross large enough to be used as a murder weapon in the other, they used holy light to turn the zombifications summoned from the ground into powder. Some mercenary-looking guys used powerful firepower to protect the surroundings of these priests, knocking away the werewolves and zombies that came close and the priests had no time to deal with them. Although it may not be able to kill, the kinetic energy of the bullet can stop these guys very well.

Seeing the other side of the camp that didn't seem to be affected, Pauletta not only secretly complained. It's also a valley, and it looks like the guys of the Dark Council have found the Earth King's treasure and are digging towards the Crystal Mountain. The surrounding hillsides, on the ground, are full of stone carvings of various shapes, and around the crystal mountain, a whole circle seems to be the graves of the martyrs. Powerful chiefs, tribal leaders, and earth kings have the habit of sacrificing living people for burial. Some tribes still exist, and they use the people of the hostile tribes that have been captured. Although it is sloppy, there are some specifications for the burial of living people, and I saw these martyrs of the year constantly crawling out of the graves, standing in a strange way, slowly moving towards those people to attack. Pauletta felt that the basket had become bigger. With so many skeletons and zombies, it is obviously not the specifications that a soil king's tomb can reach, could it be that this is not only the treasure of the earth king, but also the burial place of the soil kings of the past dynasties?

Standing in the middle of the camp, a young man who was so handsome that he didn't speak found Pauletta, and he suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke, as if there was a small black hole in the sky, and it shrank and disappeared. Almost at the same time, the smoke appeared behind Pauletta, turning back into a humanoid form, and two daggers impregnated with poison stabbed towards Pauletta's vest.

"Dream Demon?" Pauletta recognized. "There is actually a dream demon?" he was more of a skeptical than a fear, a physical attack that would never be so easy for him.
