The barren land glows with a rotten black aura that corrodes any living creature on this dead continent, the dark gray sand and dust gather in the atmosphere, perfectly blocking the only sunlight, and the volatile phosphorus powder turns into ghost fire, as the only light source, wandering in the forest that has long since turned into dead wood, lighting up the red eyes of the hungry monsters, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

The majestic castle stands on the cliff in the distance, exuding the smell of ruin, and the dead air is filled with the cry of demonized crows, vivid and never-ending, composing the music of death......

"I really don't know why the undead have to live in such a ghost place. ”

I harm.. Staring at the gloomy dead wood forest around him in disgust, his mind could not be calmed.

In those dark corners, something super dangerous can appear at any time. For the sake of my life, I could only cautiously follow behind Skeleton Soldier A and B, who were familiar with the terrain, and slowly advance towards the slime lair.

I regret it now, I'm really full of crusade slimes with nothing to do. Looking back at the shadow-covered forest path, I felt that just a few kilometers away from the Undead Fortress would be able to shoot a few 'Jedi Escapes'.

Let's not talk about why such vigorous thorns grow in this kind of poor land that you don't need to look at.

Those terrifying rattans, thicker than buckets, are still bubbling with black gas... Well, that's not your fault either. But you don't need to look at it to know that the rattan that says "extremely dangerous" is still wriggling??and preyed on a certain unlucky monster??

I really didn't say it... But that's not appropriate, is it......

Now I finally know why the Dark Wizard Armor said that it was able to reach the borders of the other former Undead Fortress bosses, and I was thankful. After all, in just these few kilometers, we have all fought two waves of wandering undead.

To be honest, I think he's simply overestimating his own combat power and that of the Undead Fortress.

"Lord Ashin, the destination is two hundred meters ahead of you. ”

Dark Wizard C, who was the pathfinder, finally staggered over from the sky. And reported the latest strategic intelligence, although it was only to explore the way, I decided to reward him.

"Very well, Dark Wizard C. In view of your active performance in this aggressive activity, I have decided: Well.. I have decided to canonize you as the chief of the intelligence department of the Fortress of the Undead! ”

After patting him on the shoulder earnestly, and in his grateful eyes, I continued:

"Now, the organization has decided to give you a new mission... So, you grab Alice and go rescue the skeleton armor that was dragged to the dark corner by those demonic thorns thirty seconds ago, be careful not to get killed. ”

"Understood, do as you command!

After praying for them for two seconds, he ignored the wizard C and the werewolf Lori who rushed into the unknown.

I followed the information of Dark Wizard C and cautiously walked to the small hill not far ahead. Then he lay down, wanting to take advantage of the geographical advantage to observe the specific situation of the slime's lair.

Although I'm a well-read scholar, I'm basically able to distinguish between ordinary slimes and slugs.

But unfortunately, the types of slime subjects are too complicated. Before I was sure what the situation was, I decided to wait for the opportunity, after all, I knew that I would not be defeated in a hundred battles. It would be embarrassing if the group farm dungeon was still destroyed by the slime group.

It's not that I'm overly cautious or worried, it's just that slimes are wonderful creatures... How to say it, it's really amazing, it can be regarded as one of the best wonders in the Warcraft Illustrated Book.

Slime, as the name suggests, is the most common low-level magical beast in the Demon Realm and the Patrick Continent.

And the vast majority of slimes have inherited the fine tradition of harmlessness to humans and animals in their own people. Specifically, in fact, the combat effectiveness is so low that even children can pick it up and play with it.

But herein lies the key. Why is this kind of high-level slug, which can not even be exterminated by ordinary beasts, be classified as Warcraft, which involves two situations in Warcraft ecology.

The first is that the slime IQ is too low... Low enough to be casually combined with the same kind.

Then whoever wants to be the boss will be the one, and if they can't talk, they will split and find someone else to merge. This is a super ability that is extremely scary to think about, that is, as long as the scale is large enough, then the size of the entire town, and even the size of the mountain, slimes are not unseen.

No matter how much garbage gathers together, it is also garbage?

If you don't think it's strong, imagine it. Liquid polymeric creatures tens of meters tall have a softness similar to rubber and the ability to deform at will, and they look like chariots crushing small towns unscrupulously......

And slime dens of this size are not difficult to find at all, and they are even everywhere!

What kind of novice monster is this, it's just a powerful boss that crushes dragons, right?

But then I realized that I was thinking too much, and that slimes were novice monsters everywhere they appeared, and that convention wasn't unreasonable. Their shortcomings are also obvious, or low IQ......

If you want to reach the level of the dragon, you must have the excellent Slime Queen.

After all, to control the minds of hundreds of thousands of slimes, it is impossible to do without an excellent total amount of mana. But in fact, a slime of that level can't be considered a slime strictly speaking, and should be classified as a high-level Warcraft.

The most important thing is that even if she is that strong, Queen Slime is still very recognizable.

Even if mixed in the slime behemoth, the queen-level slime can be easily found. Then it's just a matter of finding a high-level combat power to decapitate, and if there is no leader, they will naturally disintegrate.

And the second reason why slimes are classified as Warcraft is an extension of the first reason.

As I said before, the types of slimes are too complicated, and even an old magician who has studied the ecology of Warcraft for hundreds of years can't completely finish all the slime types. After all, well. They seem to be able to eat everything, and they can eat everything, which is amazing.

Therefore, the specific attributes of slimes still have to be distinguished according to the area in which they live. If you live in a volcano for a long time, you will become a magma slime, and if you live in a mine for a long time, you will become an ore slime......

That's right, the most interesting characteristic of the slime race is that they are born with their own attribute bonuses!

If you have to extend, as long as there is a strong enough Slime Queen. Then it is no problem to become a steel dragon, a magma dragon, or even an ice dragon, or a messy dragon!!

According to the information of the Book of the Dead, there is also a legend that Queen Slime can use dragons as food. And it seems that he hasn't died or anything, so he lives unscrupulously as a little overlord somewhere in the Warcraft Mountain Range......

To be reasonable, I thought there was nothing left to eat near the Fortress of the Undead.

So I'm not afraid of a novice monster like an ordinary slime. Even if you will encounter a powerful Slime Queen, we also have the ace Lori Alice on our side, and you can still run if you can't beat it.

But this thought was shattered until I saw the demonic thorns......

The devil knows if they can eat this murderous thorn, and according to my preliminary estimates, the chances of being able to eat it are not low. Imagine that Queen Slime is wielding demonic thorns like a tentacle monster, and the slime is unmatched.... I was actually a little panicked.

Fortunately, just when I was struggling whether to fight this fight, another dark wizard armor who had been sent out to spy on the cave information before finally belatedly: "Lord Aeshuin, something seems to be wrong!"

"Sure enough, did you turn into a demonized thorn slime? Well, in order to retain the remaining combat power and pack up our things, let's withdraw!"

Looking at the shocked look on Dark Wizard Armor's face, I shook my head helplessly.

It was originally an invasion activity that was used as a pastime when it was boring, but since the risk of annihilation was so great, I decided to play it safe. Although it may be a bit embarrassing to run away, it is better to honestly wait for the rookie adventurer to deliver it to your door.

Although as a candidate for the Demon King, I can't even eat a primary copy like Slime's Lair, which may cause me to be more faceless in front of my peers. But as a person who aims to be a virtuous king, the only remaining subordinates are more important.

However, just as I was immersed in my vanity, the Dark Wizard Armor shook his head a little embarrassed, and hurriedly continued: "That's not the case, Lord Eshuin, it's just that the slime lair is too quiet......"

"Moreover, the subordinates also found that at the entrance of this slime's lair, there are several low-level slimes that have just died... The corpse had marks of being cut by a sharp blade, as well as ......".

After a pause, the Dark Wizard Armor said with some fear: "Suspected Holy Light... Divine Magic.. traces!".

"Holy Light?Divine Magic?Are you sure?!"

I looked at the Dark Wizard Armor in shock, then looked down in thought.

Dare to use holy light in the depths of the core of the undead settlement, it seems that it is not an ordinary group of adventurers.

If theoretically speaking, the Holy Light is indeed the natural enemy of the undead, and it is also the spell with the strongest restraint attribute against the undead. When facing the undead, giving preference to the divine art with holy light is actually the most correct choice.

However, what is theoretically correct is only based on an ideal situation.

Just as the Holy Light was born with a strong enough restraint against the undead, the aura of the Holy Light was also the most hated element of all the undead!

Even the unconscious low-level undead will instinctively be attracted by the breath of the Holy Light, and then go berserk and angry.

Geographically, the slime's lair we want to attack is near the Undead Keep. It is already considered to be the core area of the undead division among the main divisions of the Demon Realm, and there are three powerful death lords entrenched around the fortress....

I really can't figure out what the difference is between blatantly using the Light in a place like this and committing suicide?!

"The slash of the blade. . . And the Holy Light Divine Arts, if this team of adventurers isn't all brain-dead... Without this diamond, how dare you take this porcelain job......"

I looked thoughtfully at the entrance to the slime lair, a little difficult to sort out the current situation.

What kind of guy would be in that bottomless cavern about two hundred meters below me.

As far as I know, the average adventurer can avoid slime lairs.

The main reason is disgust. Slimes are the most common magical beasts, and there are as many nests as there are, and since there are no valuable materials, the benefit of killing them is almost none.

The structure of the slime lair is most likely not suitable for human body types. If you accidentally encounter Queen Slime in a narrow and dark place, and the difference in strength is not large, the possibility of being wiped out is indeed not small.

And in the current situation, if you are intellectually speaking, retreat should be the wisest choice.

It is said that curiosity kills cats, but in the face of such strange behavior, my curiosity is also driving me madly, as if it is like a magic spell in my ear: go, go down and have a look.

More importantly, I feel that this discovery will be important to me......

"Dark Wizard Armor, if you are sneaking in the state of a soul in the dark zone, what are the chances that you will be discovered by a mage, or a priest or other profession?"

After thinking about it carefully, I decided to sort out the strengths of my side and the disadvantages of the other side before making a decision.

Unknown treasures may be tempting, but if it's unlikely, it's better to retreat, and the dead have no property.

Our advantage is unequal visibility, as slimes don't have torch lighting in their lairs. As long as it is a creature that can use holy light, it cannot be undead, and if it is not undead, then there are very few races with night vision.

What's more, the creatures that can appear here can basically be finalized as human adventurers.

Dark wizards, on the other hand, have the ability of the undead to observe their surroundings with their souls. In other words, even sheer darkness could not prevent them from observing their surroundings.

On top of that, they can also transform into a spirit state to cancel out noise, and are naturally the top scouts.

As if seeing through my intentions, the Dark Wizard Armor nodded cautiously and said, "Lord Eishuin, if you are in a dark and hidden place, even the top priest can find the possibility of a subordinate within fifty meters... It's also very small!!"

Dark Wizard Armor stood respectfully beside me, and the confidence in his tone was unmistakable.

It also made me realize that my current subordinates are the undead elite who are determined to guard the undead fortress and wait for the prophecy to come down for centuries, not the undead five, who can only clean up.

"Dark Wizard Armor, tell me your last name. ”

Looking at his expression, I probably saw the entrustment of the former King of the Undead as too simple.

From the look in the look of the Dark Wizard Armor, I could tell he knew how dangerous my orders were. But even so, the Dark Wizard Armor was so proud to accept this unconscionable task, even if it was possible to end the rest of his endless years.

Actually, I don't quite understand what the undead are loyal to their superiors.

In the face of me, a stranger who only bears the false name of the former Successor to the King of the Undead, even if we both know that in his life as an undead, the time we spend together can be described as insignificant.

The Book of the Dead once taught me that the wise dead are noble.

Unlike me, a summoned fool, the self-conscious undead were resurrected by unwilling souls. The only reason for their existence is the belief that they will be resurrected.

Their belief in resurrection varies, some are hateful, some are unwilling, and some are remorse....

But whatever it is, if it goes against the development of nature, it is natural that they will be punished for violating the rules, and they will no longer be bound by aging. But on the other hand, when they die again, it is when the soul is worn out......

In this other world, where I can actually feel the soul, I also acquiesce to the existence of reincarnation.

And once they become undead, there is no turning back, and even if the last wish is fulfilled, the world will erase their only remaining traces, although it is sad, but this is actually the fate of the undead.

"The subordinate is called. Stein, Lord Eschuin, Stein L. Gray. Lytle. ”

Dark Wizard A, also known as Stein, froze in place and thought for a long time before slowly uttering this vague name, the strangeness in his tone made me feel as if he was telling someone else's name.

"Good, I remember, Stein, recall Alice, let's go!!"

I gave the order firmly, and then slid down the hill towards the dark cave......
