Chapter 7: The Plague Lands

In addition to the lush trees and a meandering stream, the rolling hills are the most important water resources in the small towns, after the wells. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The small town is inhabited by simple people, some of whom have never even been out of the town in their entire lives, and the town is surrounded by scattered villages.

The small town called "Jade" was once a lost magical relic, and I don't know why there are no dangerous magical beasts around this small town, but there are fertile land and the edge of the primeval forest, a resource with valuable wealth.

A large number of adventurers roam the edge of the nearby primeval forest, hunting for the less dangerous beasts on the edge that can still bring wealth to the adventurer.

Like humans, the beasts on the continent also have ranks, and most of the demonic beasts below the second order are not life-threatening for ordinary adventurers unless they rush up. However, when the demonic beasts reach the third order and above, they will have a qualitative change, and the demonic beasts of the same level of the third order are sometimes more powerful than humans who are two orders higher than them.

And after the demonic beast reached the ninth order, it became the lord of a place, with an extremely long lifespan and strong strength.

And the holy beast above is now an invincible existence of human beings on this continent, let alone a divine beast.

Of course, these are all later words, in the depths of this primeval forest, there have been lord-level magical beasts, but this is just a legend.

The small town of "Jade", which used to be a transit point for Lofema, has been reduced to ruins, and a large dark cloud of unknown black gas has shrouded the area, and the charred wooden buildings have been destroyed by fire and collapsed on the rotting bones and other corpses, becoming their burial ground. Green spots were everywhere on the ground, and the once-clear water of the stream had turned a jet-black color, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the corpses of humans or demonic beasts that were constantly floating on the stream and emitting a disgusting stench of decay.

There are many residents in the town whose bodies have rotted out of a hole, and even their internal organs have turned black, and it looks like they have been dead for a long time, adventurers or monsters are wandering aimlessly, and they who should have been killed by the plague and lying on the ground to rest in peace for unknown reasons, "alive" in a special way of extreme pain, wandering around with extremely painful sounds, roaring and attacking living creatures.

A burst of light and sand appeared in a corner of the town and swirled in a whirlpool, and two cloaked figures appeared in the whirlpool.

Three months have passed since the outbreak of the natural disaster, and the small towns that have completely fallen in the plague have been activated by the sudden arrival of living creatures, and in the ruins, the plague infected people who are lying down, lying on their stomachs, and even those who have rotted into bone frames are all attracted by the breath of living creatures, and let out painful screams.

Hint: You have entered the Plaguelands in the Special Zone, all Resistances -15.

Note: The Plaguelands contain unknown toxins, so be prepared.

Mu Ze, who had just come in, had a hint about this area in his heart, which was the system prompt of "Infinite World".

However, Mu Ze was not worried about the problem of toxins, he had already thought about the problem of the plague.

Mu Ze took out two bottles of rainbow-colored potions from the dimensional warehouse.

Potion: The smile of the goddess of life

Effect: Immunity to all negative states within 24 hours of consumption.

He handed one of the bottles to Rukia behind him, and the other was silently swallowed.

"The next step is to find the monster that created the plague and kill it to end the plague, this simple story mission couldn't be simpler. Now you can easily complete her commission. ”

Mu Ze secretly thought about what to do next, and Rukia felt a more familiar feeling with the green spots and black ominous aura emanating from her surroundings.

Because the poisonous fog caused by the plague covered the sky above the village and town, and the black plague atmosphere filled the village, the visibility in the village and town was not very high, and under the cover of the two, many plague infected people slowly surrounded Mu Ze and Rukia.

Like hungry wild dogs that smell food, the plague-infected who smelled the breath of the living suddenly quickened their slow pace and pounced like madness on Muzze, who was thinking, and Rukia, who was silent.

"The majesty of the Demon King!"

The terrifying and bloody monsters created by the Resident Evil of another world slowly approached Mu Ze's body, and Mu Ze habitually raised his right hand and swung a POSS, using the resistance function of "Infinite World" as the Night Stalker class (the majesty of the Demon King).

The Majesty of the Demon King:

Skill Effect: Bounces monsters below their own level, and if the target creature is in the dark camp and is 60% below the user's level, it will be destroyed directly.

However, Mu Ze is not the Night Stalker of Infinite World now, but a contractor with an unknown profession.

"This sucks now!"

Without the imaginary skill to activate, Mu Ze made a fatal mistake.

A plague infected person with half of his face rotted pounced on Mu Ze, leaving a pale green saliva dripping on Mu Ze's feet, and the panicked Mu Ze wanted to take out a scroll from the dimensional inventory to remedy it, but it was too late, Mu Ze could even smell the suffocating stench coming from its lipsless mouth.

"Dimensional Slash."

A silver sword qi slashed through the space in front of Mu Ze, and flew from the crack that turned into a shadow towards the plague infected who rushed towards him.

The tail wing of the crescent moon with spatial power directly pushed the body of the plague infected person out of front of Mu Ze and cut open the body of the plague infected person, and the blood with black and green dots spilled on the ground with internal organs.

However, the plague infected person did not die, but let out an even more terrible roar and crawled towards Mu Ze, and the surrounding plague infected people also moved more quickly with the roar of the infected person.

"All around."

Rukia's reminder sounded behind Muze, who felt Rukia's back against him.

The warm touch was transmitted to Mu Ze through the cloak, and Mu Ze, who had become the standard back-to-back battle method with Rukia, was in a somewhat complicated mood, took out a golden magic book and hid the glowing effect of the treasure.

Legendary (Extra-Rank) Magical Treasure: Book of Light and Fire.

Magic Attack: Very high

Effect 1: Light, Fire +2

Effect 2: -50% release time, -50% channel time

Effect 3: Attached Skill (Flame Guardian +3) (Echo of Light +3)

Usage Restrictions: None

Requirement Level: None

In the book "Infinite World", it can be called an artifact for light and fire magic users, and its lack of threshold restrictions and powerful attributes are deeply loved by light and fire magic users.

However, the reason why Mu Ze chose this magic treasure is the most inconspicuous attribute of this treasure.

"Hehe, it's like going back to the original game."

Mu Ze thought a little self-deprecatingly, and said to Rukia behind him in a confident voice.

"Rukia, help me fight for a while."

"The concubine understands, brother."

It doesn't need much to explain, and there's no time to explain it.

Countless figures appeared in the visible area, emitting a gagging smell and creepy screams that made ordinary people creep.

Flame Guardian: Summons a taunt fire golem to defend itself, the number of summons increases with the level.

Cooldown: 10 seconds

Echo of Light: Unleashes a Light and Sonic attack on a targeted area, stunning all mobs in the current area.

Cooldown: 20 seconds

Mu Ze raised the magic book in his hand, and gave the skill of activating the flame guard in his heart, and began to chant automatically in his mouth.

"My loyal fire elemental, come to me as a reliable guard."

In the short interval of Mu Ze's chanting, Rukia used the sword full of black dark attribute power in her hand to fly towards the empty space in front of her, and a knife from Rukia's condensed black crescent moon continued to appear around her, knocking back and cutting all the plague infected people who surrounded her.

Many of the plague infected people who were cut by the sharp sword qi blade turned into sharp dark energy lost part of their bodies, but they did not die because of this, and the screams of many plague infected people even strengthened the concentration of black fog in this area, so that the wounds on the plague infected recovered quickly, and some of the broken limbs were also picked up.

It's like not dying.

As Mu Ze's chanting ended, three dark blue flames appeared out of thin air.

The dark blue flames burned violently in the air, and the center of the dark blue flames expanded into orange-red, and three huge humanoid elemental creatures appeared and illuminated Mu Ze's gloomy surroundings.

The massive humanoid creature made of fire let out a cry of rage, and the Plague Rotter, who had been knocked away by Rukia, and the more Plague Rotters that appeared around them were illuminated around them, and pounced on the three flame golems like moths to a flame.

Having done what she had to do, Rukia crouched beside a dead plague rotter, a corpse whose head had been separated from its body.

The near-immortality embodied in the Plague Rotter, and the aura of the little girl in Lofema City reminded Rukia of a man.

Rukia's crimson eyes stared with a hint of doubt at the head of the rotting plague rotter, and she was a little conscious of what she wasn't sure about.

Through its sockets, which had only one eyeball, a soul's wail appeared in Rukia's red eyes, a soul locked in black breath and unable to escape, in pain and despair.

"Won't you...... It shouldn't be ......"

Rukia, who got the answer, couldn't believe her eyes, this breath was actually his......
