Chapter 0199: Night of Terror
A makeshift camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel.23txt.
The camp is located in a pile of rubble.
The two or three meters high rocks are stacked on top of each other, which looks chaotic and disorderly, but it can bring a sense of security to the campers in the camp.
The forest fog is wet and heavy.
Even though it was late at night, the travelers who were sleeping in the rubble did not light a bonfire to expel the moisture, and no one wanted to talk. In the shadows of the black boulders, three or five adventurers wrapped their bodies in thick animal skins and felt rolls, trying to put themselves to sleep.
However, the scene seen during the day was so thrilling that it became difficult for the people in the camp to sleep.
"Ciro, do you think we can go back alive?" asked Hunter Poole in the lowest voice, stabbing his fellow villager at his side.
Ciro was an archer, and he was already the best archer in their village.
Ciro rolled over and did not answer his companion's question.
However, through the physical contact just now, Poole could faintly see his companion trembling slightly. However, he did not ask his companion why, because at this moment, his body was also trembling uncontrollably.
The tall and terrifying fire man like a demon, the terrible loud noise that shook the entire mountain forest, the monstrous flame that devoured the heavens and the earth...... It was so easy for the two knights and three or five mercenaries to die in the flames, becoming the new ghosts of the evil wizards.
And those characters are probably all countless times stronger than themselves!
Whenever he recalls the scene he saw in the treetops that afternoon, Poole felt his soul tremble. It's as if ...... It's as if he has become the knight lord who has been engulfed in raging flames, and the only thing he can do is to raise his neck and let out the last terrible wail in his life!
Under the pressure of the terror in his heart, Poole finally mustered up the courage and asked softly to the shadow at the other end of the camp, "Lord Morse, can we go back alive?"
"Silence, do you want to bring those wizards here?" came a soft rebuke from Lord Morse, the Magic-Breaking Knight, but then his tone softened again, "Don't think so much. Our mission is to explore the area around Snake Bird Cliff. Tomorrow, you only need to go forward another 3 miles to complete the mission, and then you will be able to return to the camp to get paid. That's 3o Jin Solang, enough for you to live in peace for ten years!"
Xu thought of the happy life after receiving the honorarium, and the boulder in Poole's heart finally loosened a little. Once again, he wrapped himself tightly in the thick skin, trying to warm himself up.
However, Poole didn't know that just as he was trying to fall asleep, the dirt in the center of the camp suddenly arched into a dirt bag the size of a basin. As the soil at the top of the bag broke, countless black scorpion insects erupted from it, divided into five black insect tides, and silently poured into the surrounding shadows.
A moment later, the angry roar of the Morse Knight suddenly sounded in the shadows.
"Hurry up...... Hurry up, everyone...... The evil worm is coming!"
As the energy shield fluorescent flickered, the flame sword also began to burst into flames in his hand. With the dazzling light of the flames, it instantly illuminated this humble little camp. There are a total of 5 people in the camp, in addition to him, a law-breaking knight, there are 2 demon hunters and 2 mercenary hunters.
Unfortunately, when the beating light shone on the camp, the only ones who could jump out of the felt were him and a demon hunter, Gemu. The other three companions did not respond in the slightest, and when they looked around, they saw only wriggling animal skin mattresses and felt.
"Damn it......" Morse cursed angrily, "Grab your weapons and get ready to fight......"
In fact, there was no need for him to remind him, the Gemu Knight had already slapped off the many scorpions on his body, resisted the dizziness of the ** attack with his tenacious will, and struggled to draw out his rune long sword.
After these scorpions got into the felt, they kept stabbing him with poisonous nails, but they didn't feel the slightest pain. If it hadn't been for Lord Morse's loud roar that woke him up, I'm afraid he would have died in his sleep like another demon hunter.
The blazing flame sword slammed into the ground, and a violent blast of flame instantly swept through the entire camp.
Under the powerful blast of the Morse Knights, the scorpions that frantically swarmed them were engulfed in ferocious elemental flames, and the camp was filled with a terrible hiss that made people feel weak.
However, under the flickering light of thousands of flames, the wormhole in the center of the camp suddenly collapsed downward, and more and larger beetles erupted from it. They coalesced, piled up into a creeping and moving horrible mound, and rose little by little.
Soon, a humanoid made of a horrible swarm of insects appeared in the center of the camp.
Seeing the evil wizard's strange appearance, the eyes of the two knights were full of unconcealable despair, and their hearts were like being soaked in ice and snow, completely cold.
The evil worm Ntik is here!
…………
12 miles northwest in a cliff-bottom cave.
A bright bonfire burns brightly.
The entrance to the cave was covered with a heavy piece of felt, and outside the cave were impenetrable wild vines, which did not prevent the fire from being detected by outsiders.
The four people in the cave sat around the campfire, silently wiping their weapons and armor, without the slightest interest or enthusiasm for conversation.
Luckily, they were led by the hunter to this hidden cave before dark, and this was where they could light a campfire to drive away the moisture of the forest. Otherwise, they will not dare to light a fire if they sleep in the wild.
In the deep and leafy Greenland forest, any bit of fire in the darkness can be clearly seen more than ten miles away. Although there are no birds or beasts or ferocious monsters to be found in this mountain forest, there are evil wizards lurking that are far more terrifying than wild beasts.
In the space of 2 days, their team of 4 people had only traveled less than 3o miles in the mountains and forests, but they had already encountered no less than 15 witch attacks.
These witch beasts roam in groups of three or five in the mountains and forests, and once they sense the breath of humans, they will rush up like mad dogs. They are either plague dogs, or rampaging bison, or poison dart frogs...... And, of course, they encounter a strange monster created by the combination of a pterosaur and a human spearman!
None of these strange creatures are normal, carrying either the terrible plague or virulent bacteria on their bodies, or they are covered in blood, and at first glance they are terrible evil creatures that several jungle beasts have been randomly put together!
It was by relying on the semi-long-range powerful flame blade of the Spellbreaker Knight that they fought all the way to the death.
Luckily, although they were attacked by many witch beasts, they did not encounter those evil wizards!
The southern part of the Greenland forest is so mountainous that it is difficult to detect each other even if they are 100 meters apart. Therefore, with more than a dozen wizards scattered in such a huge space, it was almost impossible to completely block the infiltration of the knight squad.
So it's not a strange thing that they went all the way here and didn't meet a wizard.
In the afternoon, however, the distant battle they had spied on a certain mountain had silenced them. A team that was not much different in strength from their squad was ambushed by the Fire Demon and perished!
Deep down, the knights also have a huge resistance to the high-level infiltration and reconnaissance that forces them to die. But when you turn your head and think about it, such a huge and vast sea of reckless forests, if there is no specific goal, the Demon Hunter Knights of more than 2ooo people can only circle aimlessly in it.
At that time, I'm afraid that the eating, drinking, and Lazar of more than 2ooo people alone will be enough to drag down the entire team, let alone find the enemy in the deep mountains and dense forests and fight him!
Therefore, even though there are demon hunters dying painfully in the depths of the jungle every day, the top of the Order is still firmly and persistently pursuing the reconnaissance team infiltration plan.
With the lives of more than twenty lawbreakers and more than fifty demon hunters, the edge of this forest has been completely explored, and the wizard's defense line is retreating step by step. Perhaps in another three or four days, they will thoroughly explore this vast forest of two or three hundred miles, and find out the nests where the enemy is hiding in them.
Then it was a wonderful time for them to gather their army and destroy the lair of the evil wizard in one fell swoop!
But as beautiful as the vision is, it will require greater sacrifice and more effort to make it happen. As for whether he could live to see that beautiful moment, the two law-breaking knights in the stone cave were still a little apprehensive in their hearts.
However, just as everyone was stunned by the beating bonfire, there was a strange knock at the entrance of the cave.
"Bell, bell, bell...... Is there anyone here?"
"Who?" a hunter blurted out in shock. I immediately realized that my group was in the middle of a barren mountain and wilderness, where did the door come from? Where did the visitors come from?
"A lonely traveler, if you don't object, then I'll come in!" The voice outside sounded rather strange, hoarse, and not at all popular.
"Since Your Excellency is here, just come in! there's no need to hide outside and pretend to be a ghost!" Entos, the lawbreaker, slowly stood up, and the energy shield and flame sword began to glow.
He turned his head in surprise to look at his companion sitting beside him.
Heim, who was also a lawbreaker, still sat in place, his forehead bruised, his face flushed, and his teeth creaked.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Entos aloud.
"I ...... Fast...... Being ...... Control...... A simple sentence, but it was fragmented by what the Knight of Heim said. And after saying that, even his eyes turned red.
Knight Entos struggled to urge the flaming sword in his hand, and the sudden burst of elemental flames instantly illuminated the entire stone cave, and also illuminated Knight Heim.
I saw that Knight Heim, who was sitting on the felt, floated in the void behind him, and the translucent strange silk threads all pierced into his body, while the other end silently extended to the cave wall.
"Damn, it's a puppet!" the knight roared angrily, and a blade of flame burst through the air, slicing through the seven or eight strange threads of the void.
With the help of his companions, Knight Heim finally broke free from the grip of the silk thread behind him, and quickly jumped up and roared: "Everyone get ready, it's the evil wizard puppet who is coming......"
However, at the sound of his roar, the two mercenaries, who were also sitting by the campfire, stood up crookedly, with a strange smile on their faces, raised their swords and pounced on them.
