Chapter 82: Encountering the Angela Zerg
I came to the door of the Moon's room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After knocking on the door several times and getting no answer, I decided to leave the results of my hard night at the front desk of the hotel.
I went back to my room, wrote a message card, explained that it was an inscription item to repay the 48 gold coins I had borrowed, and packed the magic crystals in a box and handed them over to the beautiful lady at the hotel front desk for safekeeping, and then went to find Tyridas.
Terridas, who had just finished breakfast and was packing his belongings in his room, saw me coming, and only glanced at me, and did not stop moving.
"Let's go to Silisus, I'm ready." I patted my backpack on the back.
Tyridas sighed.
ā¦ā¦
We rented our camels and set off for Silishus.
At this time, three days have passed since the agreed time with Althea.
Even I wasn't sure if Althea would still be waiting for me and Tyridas at the agreed place.
However, I soon realized that this worry was unfounded.
Because, as soon as we set foot in the territory of Silisus, we were attacked by the Zerg.
After crossing the swamps of the Angolo crater, you enter the desert of Silisus.
The climate of Silysus is different from that of Tanaris, which is surrounded by mountains, so the precipitation is significantly higher than that of the desert of Tanaris, and although it is the Gobi, the biodiversity is obviously much better. But the climate was still very dry, and gusts of wind mixed with sand and gravel frequently blew over the hard rocks and cliffs, and the slapping on the face was a little painful.
And right in the desolate Gobi, there are animal carcasses lying everywhere.
First saw an antelope died on the side of the road, the antelope had a deep wound on the neck, probably fatal, the poor antelope showed a frightened expression, his eyes were still staring at death, and then, he found the corpse of a velociraptor dragon, this green velociraptor is a very ferocious animal, and there are few natural enemies in the desert, but at this moment the green dragon skin on the body has been bitten scattered, full of holes, very terrifying. After a few more steps, I saw a large rhinoceros dead not far away, all four legs broken, bones poking out of the skin, several scavenging birds parked on the corpse, and crows circling in the air.
Sensing that something was not quite right, Teridas warily dismounted from the camel and examined the carcasses of the animals in turn.
"Judging by the degree of decay of these corpses, they should have been dead for no more than three days." Tyridas crouched down next to the corpse and said with a frown.
I was terrified to see this kind of bloody scene, especially when I saw the animals, their broken bodies covered in dried blood, and I just felt my legs tremble.
"I'm worried about Althea's safety, let's hurry up." Tyridas said as he pulled me back on the camel.
There was still some distance from here to the Night Elf outpost, but just as we were about to continue our journey, suddenly a very strange sound was heard nearby.
I didn't really hear it, but it seemed like the sound of the wind, or the sound of something trying to get out of the ground.
Just as I was wondering, I saw a black claw sticking out from under the rhinoceros carcass that Tyridas had just examined.
The black, sharp, sharp claws, like ghosts, burst out of the Gobi desert with a hideous appearance.
I felt like I had forgotten to breathe, and just as I was amazed at the strange scene in front of me, several more identical claws stretched out from the ground around me.
Then, only a muffled sound of "poof" was heard, and in an instant, the earth was broken, the desert was dusty, and under the carcasses of those animals, countless black beetles emerged and besieged our camels.
The camel, visibly frightened, immediately let out a neighing and galloped.
Tyridas and I were overwhelmed by the suddenness of the situation, and let the camels run like crazy.
I was jolted and shaken on the camel, but the beetle was so small that it was obviously faster than the camel mount we were riding, and I saw black beetles crawling up the camel's legs.
The camel let out a painful neigh.
At such a close distance, I could see that the insect's hard carapace-like claws were covered with tiny, sharp serrations.
I suddenly remembered the fatal scars I had just seen on the carcass of the animal, and an inexplicable fear welled up in my heart.
In the moment's panic, a beetle launched a fierce attack, waving its huge front paws and striking directly at my face.
"Be careful!" Terridas shouted as he reminded.
However, because the distance was so close, I didn't have time to react, and just blocked it with my arm.
The black beetle's claws cut through my sleeve, and a deep wound appeared on my arm that was visible to the bone.
Hurt!
The beetle's huge attack power was completely unexpected by me.
We were caught off guard.
"Ahh A great pain came from my arm, and I fell off the camel, and before I could check the wound on my arm, my robe was already stained red with blood.
As if they had discovered their prey, the beetles chasing the camels stopped chasing the camels and turned to me.
"Tyridas!" With the last shred of sanity, I yelled.
Then, with a loud explosion, the closest beetles were shattered by the massive impact of magic, and exploded right in front of my eyes, shards of the beetles slashed across my face, and I smelled a disgusting smell of charred corpses.
Looking back, at some point, Tyridas had jumped off his camel and was standing not far behind me, all standing in the shadow of dark magic, exuding terrifying black energy.
In addition to the few black beetles that had been shattered, the remaining beetles surrounded me again, and I found that a few of them were only half of their bodies left, still dragging their broken bodies to crawl this way, dragging a black slime trail on the sandy ground.
It was so disgusting, the visual impact of the intuitive was that I almost thought about it and forgot to run away.
Tyridas quickly ran to my side, crouched down, and read a shadow spell, and in an instant, the black beetles that surrounded us were immediately entangled in the shadow spells that appeared on the ground, and they could not move.
"Let's go!" Without saying a word, Tyridas took my hand and sped across the desert.
The camels had already run away, and the two of us had to run along the main road in the direction of the sentry.
I clutched the wound on my arm and ran through the pain that almost made me cry.
Be strong, I have to be strong.
Gritting my teeth, the blood dripped down the dirt road as it ran through the gaps between my fingers covering the wounds.
The bleeding wound, the warm and sticky touch, came from the palm of the hand.
It made me feel unreal for a moment.
Where is this? What am I doing?
Why is blood and pain so real?
Is this really a dream?
Did I run into Angela's zerg?
Why, how could it have come across early? And why did you come across it here?
The timeline of this world is chaotic, is there really no pattern to follow?
Just when I was infinitely confused, the black beetle behind me had already broken free from the shackles of shadow magic and chased after me.
"Nitya, can you still fight?" Teridares asked in the wind.
I shuddered, and then woke up from my thoughts.
This is a life-threatening encounter! What the hell am I thinking?!
Gritting my teeth, I nodded at Tyridas.
Tyridas suddenly stopped, weaving a protective barrier with shadow magic.
"Then let's go back and kill a wave, they are in hot pursuit, and it's not a way to keep running." He finished reading the spell and said to me beside him.
"Good!"
As he spoke, several insects collided directly with the Shadow Enchantment, clawing frantically at the Enchantment, making an unpleasant grinding sound.
Tyridas immediately pulled out the staff he was carrying behind him and read several shadow spells.
Only a "crackling" explosion was heard, and several beetles fell down the barrier, struggled on the ground a few times, and then stood still on all fours.
But there was no respite at all, and at the moment when these insects died, more beetles clinged to the barrier and climbed above our heads.
The barrier was overwhelmed, and a crack gradually appeared.
"No, this barrier won't last long," Tyridas said calmly, his expression changed significantly.
I read a thorn tangle and immediately wrapped the beetles above my head around the vines of the trees and threw them to the ground.
Teridares cooperated and read a shock and explosion spell with tacit understanding, and the bodies of the black beetles immediately exploded, their limbs were blown away, and their body fluids were splashed all over the ground, and the swarm of insects was like a lake stirred up by stones, and from the inside out, it was affected by the explosion, and the beetles died all over the place.
However, with only such a small winding spell, cold sweat was already oozing from my head, and my mind was a little confused.
I just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but I was attracted by an even louder sound.
It was a terrifying scene like a rising tide, and a large wave of black beetles came from a distance, like black sea water spreading, as if it was about to swallow us.
"No, let's get out of here, there are too many of them!" Tyridas decided to avoid fighting in such unfavorable terrain, so he picked me up again and retreated to the sentry.
The Night Elf outpost was set up on a large plateau with a cliff back, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Tyridas planned to get there and fight off the swarm with the local Night Elf guards.
However, he was wrong.
By the time we climbed the high ground and reached the sentry post, it was a dead place.
I saw that the torches in the camp of the sentry were extinguished, and there was silence.
There is no one here.
The dark red blood marks and fighting marks on the ground indicate that this place has been attacked in the past.
The tents in the camp were also broken, the wind was blowing from inside, and the wagons carrying grain and grass were also overturned, and flags fell all over the ground, looking dejected.
"Oh my God, Althea shouldn't ......" I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the scene.
Tyridas stared at everything in front of him with a solemn expression: "It should be these bugs just now, who attacked the camp not long ago. ā
But why didn't there be a single corpse of the Night Elf's guards?
I was thinking about it, but the beetle's "squeak" was getting closer and closer.
"Nitya, let's jump off a cliff!" Teraidas looked at the cliffs below the heights, not wanting to entangle the bugs too much.
But at this moment, my knees went limp, and I fell to my knees.
"Tyridas, I feel, it's bad." I just felt my heart beating faster and faster, my whole body was hot, my chest was very tight, and I felt like I was going to suffocate in the next second.
I pressed my chest and gasped for air.
"What's wrong with you?" Tyridas looked nervously at my flushed face.
At this moment when I was uncomfortable, the bugs had already climbed up the ramp, and black beetles swarmed in from the entrance to the camp.
"Nydia, get out of the way!" Tyridas roared as he unleashed his shadow magic, knocking the front wave of swarms away.
However, there were so many bugs that they kept coming and were about to stick to the feet of the two of us.
At the last moment, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared from my body.
After the light passed, I appeared in front of the swarm in the form of a giant bear.
The Soul of the Giant Bear has appeared at a critical juncture!
I transformed into a giant bear once more, and the spirit of the giant bear swung its forepaws in rage, but it was just a back and forth, and the beetles that rushed at me were immediately knocked far away, crashing into the rocks and shattering.
"Nitya......" Tyridas looked at me.
I knew in my heart that the spirit of the giant bear was protecting me.
But I can't think about it, and in the blink of an eye, the insects surround me again.
The disparity in numbers was so great that the beetles seemed to be inexhaustible, and soon the two of us were overwhelmed, and two bugs took the opportunity to jump on the bear's back and bite at the bear's fur.
"Ahh I shivered in pain, and I threw off the two beetles, but there was still a color on my back.
Tyridas wasn't much better, his magic was draining too quickly, his strength was running out, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
"It's not an option."
We are in a dilemma, and if we continue like this, we will be dragged down by endless fighting.
"You can't kill all these bugs." The Giant Bear's Soul bit a beetle and threw it far away, but the beetle's corpse was immediately overwhelmed by an endless stream of fellow beetles.
"Let's jump!" Once again, Teraidas thought of this way of escape.
Two bugs bit the bear's front legs, and I shook them off and immediately retreated to Tyridas' side.
Once again, we are on the edge of the precipice, but in a different state of mind than the last time.
"Jump!" Tyridas shouted this, and one of us jumped off the edge of the cliff and into the deep ravine.
I saw that the insects on the edge of the cliff followed closely behind, and a large wave of insects who didn't have time to react fell into the cliff and fell down one by one like dumplings in the pot.
Tyridas freed his hands in mid-air and cast a levitation spell on himself and me.
I looked at the black patch of insects on the edge of the cliff, and I had a palpitation.
Neither of us spoke during the descent until we hit the ground, when the Giant Bear's Soul vanished and I returned to my human form.
The wound on my arm was no longer bleeding, and I read several healing techniques to the wound, and the pain was finally relieved.
Beneath the cliffs of the camp is a valley with the great mountain range of Silisus in the background, facing the verdant valley of Firas, with a large green area, pure lakes and streams, and a beautiful scenery.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Terridas picked up some dead wood in the surrounding bushes and planned to build a campfire.
But before he could come back, I was already sleepy.
