"Chapter 212: The Soul Shepherd's Request"
At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves began to be remembered, and both Luiga and Elise looked shocked. Hearing this, they knew that it should be Mordecaesar's army of undead who had come after them.
Seeing that the two of them looked a little panicked, the soul wrangler smiled, and then said: "Don't worry, two little friends, although this Shadow Island is not a good place, there is no need to worry about the safety of the two of you in a certain third of the old decay. After speaking, the soul shepherd said softly to the forest in front of him: "Mao Kai, there is a guest here, let's entertain it!"
As soon as the soul wrangler said this, countless vines began to swish out of the woods, and these vines hurried towards the place where the sound of horses' hooves had been heard. Luica recognized at a glance that these were the same vines that had tied him up, and he was really curious about what this thing was, could it be the kind of dryad he had seen in his previous life?
Although curious, Luica did not take the initiative to ask the soul wrangler, although the soul wrangler did not show hostility towards him, but Luiga would not be stupid enough to ask about other people's secrets at will. Even the sword demon in front of him said that he was a strong man, and if he wanted to get himself, it would definitely be a matter of minutes.
Karthas and Hekarim chased them all the way to this strange dense forest, and Karthas had already sensed the breath of Luica and Elise not far ahead. He pointed in the direction where Luiga was and shouted at the army of undead, "Just ahead, kill me!" After Calthas said this, Hecarim and his army of men immediately rushed towards where Luiga was.
However, they had not gone far when a swishing sound came from the forest in front of them, and then countless vines stopped in front of the army of undead centaurs. At the sight of these vines, Karthas's face changed slightly.
"Despicable undead, this is not something you can set foot on, before I am angry, hurry away, or I will definitely smash your necromantic mark and make you completely annihilated!" A voice came from the dense forest, but there was no figure in sight.
"Dryads, I'm here to catch two intruders, you hand them over and we'll leave at once!" Karthas said loudly into the dense forest ahead.
"Hmph, intruders? You people are intruders, you better catch yourselves. Hurry up, my patience is limited, and none of you will want to leave when I get angry!" the voice came from the woods again, and this time his tone began to grow a little angry.
Karthas was about to say something, but Hecarim couldn't help it, he directly raised his weapon and pointed at those vines and shouted: "Damn dryads, do you think I'll be afraid of you? Since you are looking for death, don't blame me, today I will completely solve your scourge!" After speaking, Hekarim shouted at the army of undead men and horses under his command: "Kill me!"
After saying that, Hekarim took the lead and rushed directly into the forest. Just when Hecarim and the others rushed a few steps, thousands of tree vines rushed out of the woods and attacked Hekarim and the others directly. Seeing this, Hecarim did not panic in the slightest, he did not have the slightest idea of retreating, but rushed forward. His weapon slashed at the vines, which had previously seemed like iron to Luica, as brittle as tofu under Hecarim's men, and Hecarim cut dozens of vines in an instant.
"Haha, come on, damn dryad, I'm going to cut down all your damn tentacles today, and this forest will be my legion base in the future, and I'm going to use your bodies to build the most magnificent camp!" Hecarim laughed wildly as he waved his weapon. However, as soon as he spoke, countless wooden thorns suddenly poured out from the ground where Hecarim and his army of centaurs were located, and these wooden thorns directly penetrated the abdomen of those centaurs, and suddenly all the undead centaurs except Hecarim were directly poked by the wooden thorns.
However, these can't stop Hecarim, these centaur armies have been refined by Mordekaiser using the Necromantic Secret Method, and if they don't hurt the Necromantic Mark, they can be resurrected. Sure enough, a moment later, the dissipated army of centaurs regrouped. After these undead armies regrouped, Hecarim shouted "Formation!"
Just after Hecarim said this, those undead centaurs let out a loud shout, and then they all exuded an incomparably rich necromantic aura, and these necromantic aurs instantly gathered together, forming a huge array to cover all the undead centaurs. Once the formation was over, the centaur army rushed towards Luiga's place again, and countless vines shot out of the dense forest to stop the centaur army's pace. However, after the formation, the army of centaurs simply ignored these tree vines, and those tree vines hit the energy shield formed by the necromantic qi, and they were directly bounced out, and it was difficult to store half a point.
After a while, Hecarim rushed to a place not far away from Luica, feeling the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Luiga looked at the soul shepherd weakly and asked, "Senior, is that friend of yours really okay?"
"No, no, even if Mordecaesar comes in this forest, there is nothing he can do, you can rest assured!" said the soul shepherd with a smile and a wave of his hand.
Seeing that he could reach the place where Luiga was immediately, Hecarim's face became extremely hideous, and he jumped up directly from the military formation, and quickly pounced towards the place where Luiga was. Karthas, who had not made a move behind him, did not hesitate any longer when he saw this, and jumped up and followed.
However, the moment they leaped up, a voice was heard again in the dense forest. "Damned undead, since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill you, you lackeys of Mordecaesar, let me die!" After this voice was heard, the trees in the forest actually seemed to come to life, and the trees actually began to move, and the branches on their bodies turned into countless tentacles, which stabbed towards Hecarim, Karthas, and the army of the undead.
There are many trees in this forest itself, and they are all extremely luxuriant trees, and the branches on their bodies are even more numerous, and in an instant, this forest is full of tentacles made of branches. Seeing this, Karthas hurriedly raised his staff, and then he began to chant, and countless hideous-looking spirits began to pour out of his staff, and these spirits formed an undead shield around Karthas, blocking the attacks of those tentacles.
Hecarim's army of the undead was not so lucky, there were too many of these tentacles, although they would instinctively protect their necromantic marks, but they couldn't prevent so many tentacles, and soon the undead army was killed and wounded. Seeing this, Hekarim's face was furious, and he began to slash the tentacles frantically with his weapon. But the number of these tentacles is too many, and despite Hecarim's desperate slashing, the number of these tentacles has not decreased.
As time went by, the death of the undead centaurs became more and more, and Karthas's face was extremely ugly, and he was about to catch Luiga and Elise, but he was extremely entangled in his heart. However, seeing that the army of undead centaurs was being slaughtered by tentacles, Karthhas gritted his teeth and said to Hecarim: "Withdraw first!"
Although he was unwilling, Hecarim knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to catch Luiga today, and seeing his men being killed one by one, Hecarim knew that it was time to withdraw, and there would only be more and more people who would not be evacuated.
"Retreat, retreat!" Hecarim shouted at the army of the undead, and then he took the lead and slashed out of the forest, and the army of the undead hurriedly followed Hecarim and began to rush out. After Hecarim and the others left, the trees returned to their normal state again.
Hearing the sound of killing and horses' hooves outside, the soul shepherd smiled and said, "Maudecaesar's men are gone!"
Luica breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the soul wrangler's words, and then he saluted the soul wrangler again: "Thank you, senior!"
"Hehe, Xiaoyou is polite, it's just a gesture!" the soul shepherd waved his hand, and then the soul shepherd looked at Luiga and asked, "Xiaoyou said before that you were imprisoned in the Fountain of Necro by Maudecaesar?"
"Hmm!" Luiga nodded.
"It's incredible, Maudekaiser has arranged a rune formation inside the Fountain of Necromancy, this kind of rune array I have never seen in my life. Truth be told, I've been to the Fountain of Necrony, and if I wasn't lucky, I would have been devoured by the Fountain of Necrony. I'm a little curious about how Xiaoyou escaped from the Fountain of Necromancy, it stands to reason that with Xiaoyou's strength, it shouldn't be possible to escape from the formation. The soul wrangler asked with some curiosity. Hearing the words of the soul shepherd, Elise also looked at Luica with a curious expression, and she also wondered why Luica was able to enter and leave the Fountain of Death freely, and she still remembered the devouring power in it.
Hearing the soul wrangler suddenly ask about this, Luica smiled lightly, and then said, "That's right, I once fused the remnant soul of an ancient demigod, and there was an extra power in my body. This power is usually hidden in my body, but when I was thrown into the Fountain of Necromancy that day, that power suddenly appeared, and it was that power that kept me free from the Fountain of Necrony. "I love Search.com
Luica's words were taught by the Sword Demon to him, the secret of the ocean wurm can't be said in any way, anyway, the precedent of fusing the remnant soul of the demigod has long been there, Elise is an example, there were so many demigods in ancient times, who knows what power will make Luica not affected by the Fountain of Necromancy, this is a perfect reason.
Hearing Luica's words, Elise's eyes became a little surprised, she looked at Luica and asked, "Do you also have a demigod remnant soul in your body?"
"Well, Maudekaiser captured me for the sake of the demigod remnant in me, and like you, he was ready to let the Fountain of Death devour the power of the demigod remnant in me. It's just that this kind of power can restrain the Fountain of Necromancy, otherwise I guess I would have been sucked dry by this time!" Luiga nodded.
"I see, it seems that Xiaoyou's fate is good, the kind of power you get is not simple, and there are not many powers that can restrain the power of necromancy, even in ancient times. The soul shepherd nodded. Then he looked at Luiga and asked, "I wonder what Xiaoyou plans to do now?"
"I'm going to leave the Isle of Shadows, I wonder if my predecessors know the way out of the Isle of Shadows?" asked Luiga to the Soul Shepherd.
"Naturally, I know that if you walk along this forest, it won't take long to reach the beach. However, this island is an isolated island, there is no land nearby, and all the ships that can leave the island are controlled by Mordkaiser's people, so it may be difficult for you to leave!" explained the Soul Wrangler.
"Thank you, senior, for showing us the way, we have a ship near the Shadow Isle, and a boat will pick us up as long as we can get to the beach!" Elise began.
Hearing Elise's explanation, the Soul Shepherd nodded, and then he said to Luiga again: "Little friend Luisca, I have a reluctant request before you leave!"
"Uh, senior, are you so strong, do you still need my help?" Luiga asked in some surprise.
The soul shepherd shook his head and said helplessly: "This matter is not something that can be solved by cultivating high!"
"It's okay to say that seniors, if it wasn't for the help of my seniors, I would have been caught by Maudecaesar's people a long time ago. As long as the kid can do it, he will never refuse!"
"In that case, I'll say with a cheeky face, I want to ask Xiaoyou to go to the Fountain of Death to help me get something!" the soul shepherd said, looking at Luica expectantly.
"What, senior, are you sure you're not kidding, with my strength, if I return to the Fountain of Necromancy, won't I be eaten alive by Maudekaiser!" Luiga said with wide eyes.
"Xiaoyou, don't get excited, of course it's not now, with Xiaoyou's current strength, even if you return to the Fountain of Necromancy, you won't be able to get that kind of thing. I hope that when Xiaoyou's cultivation breaks through to the peak of the 18th level rune master, he can come to Shadow Island again, and when the time comes, I will lure Maude Caesar away for Xiaoyou, and then you go to the Fountain of Death to help me get something!" said the soul shepherd to Louiska.
Hearing the soul shepherd's explanation, Luica quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Since that's the case, then I'll promise my seniors, when I break through to the peak of the 18th level rune master, I will definitely come to Shadow Island, let alone help you get something, even if you want me to join forces with you to kill Morde Caesar!"
"Hehe, that's not necessary, Maudekaiser's origin is not simple, if he is so easy to kill, he won't be alive now! When the time comes, Xiaoyou only needs to help me take out one thing from the Fountain of Necromancy, and then I will give Xiaoyou a chance, if I'm lucky, it's not impossible for Xiaoyou to break through directly to the Ascension Realm!" said the soul shepherd with a smile.
"Breaking through to the Ascension Realm? seniors aren't joking with me, although my strength is low, kid, but I also know that breaking through the Ascension Realm is not that simple!" Luiga looked at the soul shepherd with some disbelief.
"You didn't say much, in today's world, it's really not that simple to break through the Ascension Realm. But there are no absolutes, although it is difficult, but it is not impossible to achieve, the things I let you go to the Fountain of Death to get have the opportunity to break through to the Ascension Realm, and the specific thing will naturally be known by Xiaoyou at that time!"
Seeing that the soul shepherd didn't say it explicitly, Luiga didn't ask any more questions, this matter was still very early for him. He was only a level 13 rune master at this time, and when he broke through to level 18 rune master, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey. Luiga just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible, Ionia had too many worries about him, and he had to go back as soon as possible.
"Senior, I'll definitely come then. In that case, I'll leave first, I was forcibly captured by Mordecaesar's men this time, and my family must be worried, so I must go back as soon as possible!" Luiga said to the Soul Shepherd.
"Since Xiaoyou is leaving, then I won't keep you longer, Xiaoyou remember to wait until you break through to the 18th level peak rune master before coming to Shadow Island. This island has been sinking for so many years, and it's time to clear those fogs!" After saying that, three strange fruits appeared in the hands of the soul shepherd, and he handed them to Luiga and said: "Xiaoyou, I don't have anything to give you when I leave, so I will give you these three fruits, and I can help Xiaoyou when you encounter danger!"
Luiga took the three fruits and asked with some curiosity: "Senior, what kind of thing is this, and what is the use of it when it is in danger?"
"It's simple, you can just throw it at your enemies, you don't have to worry about anything else!"
"Uh, just throw it out, senior, aren't you kidding, can this thing hurt people when thrown out?" Luiga picked up a fruit and checked it, and found that it was an ordinary fruit, and there was nothing special about it.
"Hehe, don't underestimate this fruit, even if it is a level 16 rune master, it is not so comfortable. However, this thing is a bit powerful, so you should be careful when using it, so as not to accidentally injure you!" said the soul shepherd with a straight face to Louiska.
Hearing the words of the soul wrangler, Luica's eyes lit up, a strong man like the soul wrangler would definitely not fool him, so it seems that these fruits are so simple as grenades, they can be called missiles. Thinking of this, Luica looked at the soul herder with an expectant expression: "Senior, do you still have this fruit, can you give me a few more." The outside world is very dangerous, so you can give me a few more defenses!"
Hearing that Luiga was not enough, the corners of the soul wrangler's mouth twitched slightly, and then waved his hand at Luiga and said, "No, the last three are for you!"
"Oh, forget it, if only there were a thousand eighteen hundred of these things, who would dare to pretend to be in front of me then!" Luiga said with some disappointment. Hearing that Luica actually wanted a thousand eight hundred, the corners of the soul shepherd's mouth twitched violently, and he secretly said in his heart: "This kid is honest on the surface, but in essence he is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
I took a leave of absence today, I can only change one chapter, it's too late to get off work, find time to make up for it. Book friends, rest early, reading at night is too hurtful for your eyes!
