Chapter 91: The Night Before the War
After Hao regained consciousness, he immediately controlled the flow of qi and blood with the strength of Bao Dan, and at the same time did not sleep that night, he was eating and drinking all the time, and he ate and drank at least eight or nine meals of food for an adult man all night, which was quickly absorbed by the stomach and intestines stimulated by his qi and blood, and continued to eat and drink after the residue was discharged, and then the nutrients were transported by qi and blood to the injuries of the whole body, and were forcibly healed by rapid cell division.
In addition to this, there are also Ae's magic potions and repair magic, so that the next day Hao returned to the peak state of the body, of course, the hidden danger has not been eliminated, now he still only has a few months left to live, if it can't be completely treated, he will die in a few months from the collapse of the immune system, or the collapse of genes, and he himself estimated, every time he uses the sub-super state, his lifespan will be reduced by another month, as for the super state, Hao feels that he will die on the spot as long as he uses it once.
Coupled with the fact that this place has been surrounded by the army of the underworld camp, they have no way out, whether he wants to save himself or lead everyone to escape, the ruins under the earth are the only hope, it is time to make up his mind and put aside all illusions.
In the morning, everyone had a full meal, Hao commanded the tribesmen to start carrying the food and fresh water that could be carried, in addition to the main combat personnel, children and women had to carry a large number of heavy supplies, each person's carrying amount was accurately calculated by Hao, one by one in the warehouse to carry supplies, and then the large army gathered, Hao directly ordered the burning of the camp.
In fact, it doesn't hurt not to burn this camp, the underworld camp doesn't need food as a supply, and this camp will not cause any impact on the enemy if it is placed here, the reason why Hao wants to burn it is to give all the clansmen an impression that they have no other way back than to move forward bravely and seize the ruins.
After completely burning the camp, Hao led everyone into the cave, the passage that had already been explored, after completely entering, Hao let Ai use the fireball technique to directly blow up the entrance to the topmost passage, although this approach can only slightly hinder the endless necromancers of the underworld camp, but it can be used to interfere even for a minute, this is Hao's idea.
The entire entrance to the cave, about two hundred meters below it, was completely blown up, and everyone even buried the path back, if it weren't for Hao's prestige at this moment, I'm afraid that not only the elves, but even the ignorant human race would feel uneasy and hesitant about this.
Hao took everyone to walk in the cave passage, the cave was dim, it was Ai Yi who used magic lights, this light source still looks dim, illuminating the surroundings like ghosts, those women and children who entered the cave for the first time, all of them are extremely nervous, many children are even crying all the time, they are very afraid of the environment below, in addition to the dim and underground, the negative energy here is too much, it will also cause fear in their hearts, fortunately, the concentration of this negative energy is not too large, otherwise everyone may hallucinate, auditory hallucinations, and even hauntings and so onγ
In the previous time, Hao has led the troops to explore the cave for a long distance, and even has explored the real edge of the ruins, which is the location of the four mummies, where there have been traces of artificial buildings, that should be the entrance of the ruins, and there is still a long way to go before this, and there are many forks in the middle, in the previous exploration, Hao has found out that there are deadly traps on some forks, those traps he did not trigger, but let Ay make a rough identification, most of the traps Ay can't identify, only two traps are identified because they are too famous, one is the Banshee's HowlThis is a scope, and the level is at least legendary necromantic magic, and it is a magic that can kill the necromancy together, and it is a rare big magic that involves the conceptual level.
The other is the Gate of Annihilation, which is also a big magic at least above the legendary level, once triggered, there will be a conceptual door, and all the existence of the door will be sucked into it, and then no trace can be found, from time, space, and the concept of direct obliteration, and even a legendary magician has studied and claimed that the world behind this door is a low latitude, which is a magic that directly pulls life into a low latitude.
In short, the traps in the fork are almost all great magic that must kill and die, that is, the underworld camp is estimated to shed its skin when it enters it, although the number of undead in the underworld camp is uncountable, but the undead who can enter the cave per unit time are always limited, Hao hopes that these forks can at least block some time.
After an afternoon of marching, everyone came to the mouth of the artificial building where the mummy was destroyed, Hao did not immediately lead the troops into it, exploration is a must, even if it is to the point where there is no retreat now, caution is also necessary, and at the same time Hao also led some non-commissioned officers all the way back, and began to clean the traces they had walked, and all the traces they had walked through before, so as to make sure that the right path would not be found so quickly.
Then everyone set up camp in the open space in front of the artificial structure that day, Hao arranged enough guards to guard the night, and the rest began to rest and prepare for the next day's exploration.
That night, Hao was sitting cross-legged in the open space carefully adjusting his body and mind to prepare for the next day's exploration, at this time, he felt Aid's breath come to him, Hao opened his eyes helplessly, and sure enough, he saw that Ae was sitting a few steps away from him with a glass bottle, Hao frowned, there was a smell of alcohol in his nose, he said unhappily: "Why don't you go to bed and rest, you are a magician, and you are still drunk?"
Ai Yi turned out two glasses, poured himself a glass, and poured another glass for Hao and said: "This is wine, it is a thirty-year-old wine collected by a certain estate of the Plant Alliance, there is not much alcohol, take a sip when you are nervous, you can mediate your body and mind." β
Hao's heart moved, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, the taste of this wine is indeed sweet, much more mellow than ordinary wine, Hao asked, "You...... Nervous?"
Ay picked up the glass and licked it lightly, "You're a freak, we're all nervous, I, we're ...... We are all scared, now there is no way out, there are still a lot of terrifying undead approaching outside, this is not just a word of nervousness can be described, we are afraid, don't you believe it? Go and see for yourself, how many people here are so scared that they can't sleep at all. β
Hao was silent, he took the bottle and poured himself another glass, this time he took a small sip, and then said: "Do you think I am very unkind, whether it is training, or ordering, or even letting people die on the spot, follow me, as if you will die at any time......"
Ay was silent for a moment, she took another sip of wine, and there was a faint flush on her face, obviously she was not strong enough to drink, but at this time she was not drunk, so she said: "Yes, in fact, I know that you are very gentle in your heart, and you are not as cold as you say, but why don't you say it? Just like this time, if you tell your people that the undead are already surrounded by the undead, and if they don't enter it, they will definitely die, and there is no way out, I think their mood will be much better, right?"
Hao was silent when he heard this, and then shook his head slightly and said, "No, many things are not suitable to explain too clearly...... And I'm not as good as you say, I'm not gentle at all in my heart, it's still the same sentence, I'm practicing military law now, if I violate the ban, I will even kill myself, let alone the rest, I can kill anyone, as long as I can achieve the goal......"
At the moment, the two of them didn't say anything, just kept drinking, and soon, this pot of wine was drunk, at this time Ai Yi was already a little on the top, she suddenly walked to Hao's side, pinched his face directly in Hao's inexplicable gaze, and then turned his mouth up and bent and said: "Come, give me a smile, I'm going to sleep, I can't see you laughing, I think we're all dead this time, so give me a peace of mind, how about a smile?"
Hao didn't smile, just looked at Ae, Ai Yi didn't give up, she had to make Hao's face smile, she rubbed it for a while, Hao had no choice but to force a smile, Ae was immediately satisfied, she turned around and walked towards her small tent, and said as she walked: "Lead us all out of here alive, I still want to become a legendary magician, and I want to show my despised father to show it......" As he spoke, Ai Yi had already walked away.
Hao touched his face, his smile lowered, and he returned to his usual calm appearance, he watched Ai Yi walk into the tent, and then looked at the sleeping clansmen around him, and after a long time he muttered, "It's all ......"
"Do you want to get out of here alive?"
