Looking at the sturdy tower standing in front of him, Zhang Cheng quickly judged that this was probably a beacon built during the Orc War to quickly transmit emergency military information.

Ironically, since the collapse of the kingdom of Lordaeron, the beacons scattered throughout the hills of Hillsbrad have been occupied by syndicated bandits and forsaken to monitor the town of Southsea and use it as a springboard to attack if necessary.

Of course, these have nothing to do with him, even if all the residents of Nanhai Town are dead, it doesn't matter, as long as he can complete the task and get the reward.

With an attitude of indifference, Zhang Cheng turned over and jumped off the horse and followed Sophia inside.

Probably due to the fact that he had just experienced a massacre, there were large black-brown spots everywhere on the floor and walls of the hall, and there was no need to ask to know that they must be traces left by the blood after it had dried up, and even a faint smell of blood remained in the air.

There was no elaborate decoration, the floor was covered with a few thick bear skins, three tables of unknown wood were put together with half-eaten barbecue, bread and fruit, a few hammocks hung in the corner, and a large cauldron on the roaring fire of the fireplace, in which the fragrant soup was simmered.

Overall, it's a shelter where food can be provided and people can rest in peace.

A spiral staircase leads to the top of the tower, and two guards armed with bows and arrows keep an eye on their surroundings, alerting those below to lower the iron gates, the only way to enter and exit, if they detect a threat.

Although Zhang Cheng was not willing to enter this relatively closed fortress at all, considering that he had been on the road all night, he was tired and sleepy at the moment, so he had to find a place to eat something and sleep, otherwise he would collapse before he could find the pharmacist of the Forsaken.

After all, he is not the living dead, and he needs neither rest nor food.

As a careful woman, Sophia undoubtedly noticed the tiredness on Zhang Cheng's face that could not be concealed, took the initiative to fill a bowl of thick soup, followed by a plate full of hard pieces of bread in front of him, and deliberately imitated the tone of his wife to her husband: "Here, dear, eat, go to the hammock and sleep for a while after eating." Don't worry, I'll wake you up as soon as there is any news. ”

"Thank you!"

Zhang Cheng ignored this verbal teasing, picked up the bowl and ate unceremoniously.

After about seven or eight minutes, he filled his stomach, got up and lay down in the hammock, closed his eyes, and began to recuperate.

Despite the constant onset of sleepiness, he forced himself to stay conscious, until late in the evening a young man in charge of the guard rushed in and shouted out breathlessly: "Ma'am, ma'am, there is news! Three kilometers to the northwest, our men sent a signal for help. ”

"North, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably a snowman-infested area, right?" asked the female assassin, who was also closing her eyes and recuperating in surprise, immediately opened her eyes.

The young man nodded vigorously, "That's right! The snowman has dug a deep hole at the foot of the mountain, and you can reach Talenmir by passing it through the path near the cave." I've got my horses ready, are you going to go now?"

"Of course! I don't want a big fish to escape right under my nose. With that, Sophia sat up and gently tapped Zhang Cheng's nose with her fingers. "Honey, get up, I know you didn't sleep, now we're going out hunting together. ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's go, I'd love to see who it is, who has invented something that Archmage Ansrem Ruinwivol praises. Zhang Cheng turned over and left the hammock, his eyes showing strong anticipation.

After a brief preparation, the two quickly mounted their well-rested horses and found a place to release the signal before it was completely dark.

Sophia searched the ground carefully for a few minutes, and soon found the mark engraved on the trunk of the tree, and cocked the corners of her mouth and muttered: "Hehe, it seems that this little mouse has been targeted by the hound I released, and he can't escape." ”

"If I were you, I should have a moment of silence for those poor hounds. Because the members of the Royal Apothecary Guild are not alchemists in the ordinary sense, but a group of dangerous ...... who may throw deadly poisons at any time."

Before Zhang Cheng's words could be finished, a miserable scream broke the silence of the night.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!h

"Weird...... Monster!!Run!"

"Hahahaha! Run, I'm sorry, you can't run away, just be my experimental material. ”

"No!! go away! Go away! Don't come near me!"

"Ah!!!h

"Ahhh!!h

......

With a few painful wails before death, the surroundings quickly returned to peace.

"Bastard, how dare he kill my man?" Sophia immediately drew her weapon and ran in the direction of the sound.

"Well, I'll admit that these hounds are quite competent, at least they showed me the way before they were killed. Zhang Cheng complained while urging the war horse to chase after him.

The two of them ran one after the other for about a few minutes or so, and finally saw what looked like hell.

I saw that the six syndicate bandits had been torn apart by a huge undead creature made of mountain lions, snowmen, and grizzly bear corpses, and one of the unlucky ones was dragged by the waist and couldn't breathe, lying on the ground struggling in pain.

The culprit of the tragedy, a Forsaken Apothecary in a dark black robe, is telling a bottle of unidentified gray liquid poured into his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the body of the guy who was cut in half expanded rapidly like a balloon, and then exploded with a thud.

All of a sudden, bright red blood, guts, minced flesh, and bones were scattered everywhere......

However, the pharmacist of the Forsaken seemed to be accustomed to it, and complained to himself: "Okay, I've failed again, maybe next time I can try a milder formula......"

Seeing that her subordinates were killed on the spot, Sophia suddenly became extremely angry, walked around from behind, aimed at the back of the opponent's heart and stabbed hard.

Just as she thought the blow was about to hit, the Forgotten Apothecary suddenly took out a bottle of potion and drank it with her head up.

Next Second......

A golden shield of energy appeared around the body.

The female assassin's sharp dagger was like a hard stone, unable to move forward even the slightest.

"Limited Invincibility Potion?!"

Zhang Cheng recognized at a glance the magic potions that were famous in the game and favored by countless French players.

Anyone who takes the potion will be immune to all physical attacks for an extreme duration......
