Chapter 23: Greed is the original sin

The environment has not changed, the scenery has not changed, there is still no glimmer of light, there is still no colorful color, the burning torches dispel the darkness and illuminate the surroundings, Modrian has forgotten how long he has walked in the Lomwall Mountains.

As the exploration journey deepened, at some point, a faint black mist rose in the gray shadow world, gathering and dispersing, enveloping the mountains and forests.

"Huh?" Modrian suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corner of his eye just now seemed to see the black mist around him swaying and dancing like a living thing, and he couldn't help but look solemn: "Darius, Kelvin, have you noticed anything strange, those black mist?" ”

"Weird?" After Kelvin heard this, his spiritual power extended and touched the black mist that filled him around, and then his brows furrowed, and then he let go, and his tone was a little uncertain: "It seems that there is no danger!?" ”

The Noxian expeditionary cavalry on his side subconsciously began to gather around Modrian, the steel shield was erected, the heavy sword spear glowed with cold light, and they all looked at the surrounding environment with indifferent faces.

However, to Modryan's surprise, the standard movements of the Noxian expeditionary cavalry were more abnormal, and the movements were restless and slow, as if something was interfering with the Noxian expeditionary cavalry.

"Something is wrong! Black mist.......... "Modrian had a premonition that something was wrong and wanted to open his mouth to warn him, but suddenly, countless evil and chaotic whispers appeared in his mind, impacting his consciousness, and darkness descended.

Sinking, lust, blood, abyss, there seems to be an inexplicable existence that wants to pull his consciousness to an unknown place, where is the red world, everything, including the sun and the earth, is all red, like blood soaking, deeply attracting his consciousness to go.

Just as Modrian's consciousness was about to fall into the red world, the dark green data stream instantly erupted from his mind, spreading and shattering the red world, and also driving away the demonic whispering murmurs.

In the next moment, Modrian's eyes were clear and returned to normal, but a trace of panic and fear appeared in his pupils, and he didn't have time to think about it, he turned around to wake up Darius and the others, but a deafening roar resounded at this time.

Roar!

Darius looked up to the sky and roared, his black eyes faintly filled with a sea of blood, and his unsightly pupils drove away the black mist around him, and then a rich scarlet light spread from under his feet, guarding everyone.

The Noxian expeditionary cavalry, including Kelvin, regained their senses at the roar of Darius, and they looked blankly at Darius, as if they did not understand what was happening.

"Lord Modrian, I suggest retreat!" Darius stretched out his hand to block Modrian behind him, and looked solemnly into the shadows of the Lemmor Mountains, where there seemed to be an unknown presence that brought a feeling of extreme danger, and this was the first heart palpitation he felt in his heart since coming to the continent of Calradimos.

Turning his head to look at Kelvin and the Noxus expeditionary cavalry who had regained their senses on his side, Modrian looked at the black mist that was slowly spreading around him, his eyes contained unwillingness, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

"Wait! No sooner had the order to retreat than Kelvin suddenly warned that as a war stonemason, he had an unusual judgment of the terrain, and now he felt the earthly fluctuations in the ground.........

Rumble!

Darius slammed his feet to the ground, and the hard frozen snow was instantly torn apart, rising up dust like smoke, and the snowflakes fell from the snowy oak forest, like an ice fairyland, but it could not hide the savage killing intent.

Whoa!

The snow of one hundred and ten meters suddenly cracked, revealing a winding underground tunnel, and in a moment, 4 huge digging demon insects quickly crawled out, the brown carapace cracked slightly, and dark green blood dripped down, corroding the snow.

They raised their strong, hard jaws and hissed at Darius, their purple eyes already filled with red light, chaotic and savage, their sharp forelimbs scratching the snow with an unpleasant screech.

"Provocation?" There was a scarlet glow spreading in Darius's black eyes, and he untied the black battle axe he was carrying, and the killing was irrepressible.

[Ruthless Iron Hand]!

The sound of chains shook through, and the black battle axe tore through the void, and the cold axe blade cut through the oak trees along the way, and then crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, nailing to the huge body of the earth-digging demon insect in the center, far more than that, and the shuttle chain also wrapped around the other three earth-digging demon insects.

Darius exerted his arms with strength, his swollen muscles bulging like dragons, and it was useless to let the four diggers struggle, the chains trembled, and the diggers rose into the air.

The scarlet cloak danced in the cold wind, and Darius scurried, trampling the snow, then leaping high, gripping the handle of the black battle axe, a bloody smile blooming from the corner of his mouth.

[Kill the Quartet]!

The black battle axe danced around Darius, and the cold blade of the axe sliced off the ugly heads of the four digger insects in an instant, and the dark green corrosive blood sprayed, but it could not fall on Darius's armor in the slightest, and was pushed away by the invisible force.

The battle ended quickly, and Modrian stepped forward to harvest the loot of the Digging Demon Worm, 4 monster crystal nuclei, the smile on his face became more and more satisfied, and then he was ready to leave here immediately, and the warning in his heart was beating wildly.

Thundered!

Modrian felt the ground trembling under his feet, in fear, he turned his head to look, countless snow fields in the depths of the shadows were tumbling and digging, countless digging demon insects rushed out, no, more than that, the deeper forest emerged like a starry red light, dense, all kinds of different beasts and monsters filled the gray world.

"Withdraw!"

As if being watched by death, Modrian's face was full of horror, and he did not hesitate for a moment to run quickly, in the face of death, everyone is the same, even with the presence of Darius, in this situation, he cannot guarantee his safety.

The tide of beasts and monsters flooded the gray forest like a stormy wave, and they locked on to the figures of the Mordrians, and pursued them relentlessly, destroying everything in their way.

Not long after Modrian's departure, the black mist seemed to come back to life on the surrounding forests and bushes, and when you looked closely, it seemed to be extracting the life force of the plants, withering and withering and appearing on the branches, and the rotting bark kept falling off.

"Hmm........ What a strong body, it has been nearly a hundred years... No, the best body container I've ever seen. The black mist surged, eventually forming a gray-black figure, and the murmuring voice was full of longing.

Looking at the shattered corpse of the digging demon insect behind him, the gray-black figure showed a bloodthirsty desire, the red light flickered, and the black mist attached to the corpse, absorbing the essence of life in it, but in a moment, the bones turned into ashes.

"Running away is just the last struggle, and the final result will not change!" Whispers of satisfaction rang out, and the gray-black figure silently watched in the direction in which Modrian and his party had disappeared.
